The Democratic Secretary OF the Senate
began the removal of Union soldiers holding
subordinate positions in that body promptly
on Saturday, as the resolution giving him the
power was passed on Friday. When remon-
strated with, and confronted with the declara-
ton on the floor, of Senator Wallace, that it
was not intended to remove wounded Union
soldiers, the Secretary replied that his action
was not governed by that. The Union boys
must step down and out, to make room for
Confederates. This is the fruit of Democrat
10 control of Congress. How do Northern
people like it?

THE s'PINAFoRE F" ENTERTAINMENT The
0rphean Musical Society of this city, assisted
by the Wiuona Orchestra and members of
Post No. 20, G. A. r., of this city, performed
the very popular opera of "Pinafore," at
Holcombe Hall, last week. So great was the
desire to see this piece that four evening per-
formances aud a matinee were given, and they
were attended by crowded houses On Thurs
day evening between five and six hundred
people were present.
That the rendering of Pinafore - would
be well done. no one could doubt who had at
tended the previous entertainments of the
0rphean Society But few, however, were
prepared for the general excellence which
characterized the entire performance. Mr..
IL. K. Barber, as "Capt. orcoran :" Col.
A. w. Angel, as admiral Porter, K. c. b y
G. IL w. Vansciver, as Dick Deadeye, y
and w. F. Herr, as Bin Bobstay,' were ex-
collent, while Mrs. A. II. Titus, as "Josephinc;''
Miss Clara Pierson, as 6 Little Buttercup, y
and Miss Adde Titus as : Hebe" (if we may
judge by the applause and boquets,) succeed
ed in highly deightng the audiences. A
number of gentlemen from abroad who had
attended the performances of this opera in
the leading cities, spoke in nigh terms of this
performance and expressed surprise at not
only the dramatic but at the vocal talent ex-
hibted. All acknowledged that Vansciver
made the best Dick Deadeye' they had
seen, while Miss fiius was declared to be the
equal of any as 8 Hebe.'i The orchestra
rendered very important service in the sue
cess of the piece, performing the Instrumental
parts with skill aud in excellant taste
The net proceeds of these concerts will not
amount to less than three hunired dollars,
which will be equally divided between the
Society and Post No. 20.
Tonight the orpheans perform Pinafore at
Pennington.

The Clinton Democrat thus moralizes oy-
er the recent election in this city
Considering that Lambertville has been
one OF the ceuters of the Greenback diversion,
aud that the Democracy were last Fall badly
beaten by it there, the present result is high
y significant Indicating, as have the Spring
elections in various parts of the country, that
the great contest of 1880 will find the masses
Of the grand old Democracy undivided, undi-
verified, aud abundantly able to finish the con-
quest of Grantism, now struggling SO desper-
ately in its last ditch.
The Democracy of this city were beaten by
the Republicans first, and secondly by the
Greenbackers, last fall, leaving it the third
party. That it didn't fare about the same
this spring was partly owing to the fact that
it is impossible to keep men in the party lines
in town election The brave boast of fin
ishng Grantism in 1880 is still to be carried
out. That I" the masses Of the grand old De-
mocracy will be undivided . at that time, win
be certainly true so far as it refers to the Con-
federate wing (Which is pretty much all there
is of the grand old Democracy }.

The Phair case came to an end at the Wind
sor prison last Thursday afternoon. when the
criminal was executed in due process of law.
last effort was made by Phair's counsel be-
for Gov. Proctor on Thursday morning to Be-
cure stay of proceedings until after the next
session of the legislature, but the governor
was firm in refusing to grant the petition.
Phair's bearing on the gallows was cool and
collected. He was attended by Chaplain
Mick and Rev. Mr.. Pratt of st. Adams. On
being asked if he had anything to say he
stepped forward and said
II have but little to say. l am sorry that
l should come to this place for the crime of
which l am convicted. II l was guilty of
that crime / would not feel as l do, but am
innocent of the crime of which l am accused
What would say is now written out and will
be placed in the hands of Mr.. G. b. Eddy, of
Bellows Falls, to be disposed of as desire"
On bidding the prison officials good by he
handed the sheriff manuscript containing
his dying statement" with the request that
it be given to Mr.. Eddy for revision and pub
LEGATION. There were no blunders or bungling
about the execution, and Phair was pronounc-
ed dead in about IL minutes after the drop
fell. The body was placed in a casket pro-
yided by Carrigan, the reporter, who has all
along worked up" the case, and was taken
by him to Yergennes where funeral services
were held on Saturday.
We have no disposition to now add any
thing TO the mass Of argument and criticism
which has already been bestowed on this case
far beyond the bounds of reason and propri-
city, but as last weeks hearing before two
judges of the supreme court on an application
for a new trial was based on the Identification
of Phair by Marshall d. Downing, We give
below the method of that identification as de-
scribed in the affidavit of w. W. Rice super
intendent of the state prison, and Edwin W,
Cakes, head keeper
'We severally say we were present at the
interview between John p. Phar and Mar
shall ID. Downing on Wednesday afternoon,
April 2, 1879, within the prison. 1t took
place in n room occupied by Phair, no other

formed by the superintendent that Downing
was TO be one Of those coming in. F. A.
Bodies Of Bellows Falls was present as coun-
sci for phair Bodies and Downing were in
troduced by name 70 Phair aud Phair to them.
by f. c. Carrigan, when they entered the
room. The mode of Identification Of Down
ing by Phar is contained in the questions
aud answers sworn to by Phair in his petition,
he claiming that one Of the gentlemen pres
ent was Mr.. Downing. and naming over the
other parties present, and saying that he rec
ognized him before being introduced. but did
not make it known as he thought it was want
ed that Mr.. Downing should recognize him.
No one was informed during the interview
whether Downing recognized him or not.
The only persons present at the interview
were these atlantis, Rice and Cakes, and
Messrs. Downing, Bolles, Carrigan and Phair.
The above mode Of identification was the on
ly one seen by us, or that occurred between
Downing and Phnir."
With an Identification" Of this kind as
the sole basis Of an application for a new tri-
al is it to be wondered at that Judges Ross
and Powers held that the alleged new evil
dence was not sufficient to justify a jury Of
fair-minded men in entertaining reasonable
doubt Of Mr. Phairs guilty
On the part of candid and intelligent men
who have followed understandingly the devel-
opments in this. in many respects remarka-
be case. We believe that there is now. as
there always has been, a conviction that all
the sensational proceo diugs which have arisen
in the case lad their foundation i'll the efforts
after uotoricty of one or two young Bohemi-
an reporters-these efforts being originally
seconded by the journal on which they were
employed because Of the widespread adyer-
tis,ment and temporary increase Of circula-
ton which the sensation would secure for a
weak and struggling sheet. Having once en-
tered on the contest it was natural that the
young man who was its chief exponent should
be determined to see it put through to either
positive victory or defeat. By means Of this
kind the judiciary Of Vermont has been given
an undeserved notoriety, and the good name
of the State has been held up to an equally
undeseryed derision. We do not rejoice that
any man should end his life on the gallows.
but We believe that the better sentiment Of
the State feels that justice Las been done in
this case, and that every possible advantage
was given to a condemned man, and that TO
this sentiment it is source of qualification
that our judiciary has shown itself able to
rise, upon occasion. above the demands Of "A
mawkish sentimentality
On Monday Phairs dying statement"
was published in full in the Boston journal.
Although Of considerable length the state
ment amounts to little more than declara-
ton of his innocence and an argument to
prove that he did not have justice. The doc
ument is not such as to change any ones
opinion of the mans guilt OF Innocence.
