Museum of Natural History. Then, too,
this last week the grand new bnilding
of the Metropolitan Museum of Art was
opened by the President of the United
States in the midst of a company which
for numbers and social, artistic and
political renown is seldom equaled even
in the metropolis; and now a proposition
is made to establish there a Winter
Garden. This is nothing more or less
than a gigantic dollhouse and conserva-
tory where, under two acres of glass,
profusion of exotic and domestic veg
atation shall defy the wintery blasts
and form little paradise wherein the
poor, as we'll as the rich, may enjoy the
soft air and fowery perfumes of Sum-
mer throughout our frost bound season.
This last idea is very attractive one
and, it is claimed, would not be a very
expensive one to carry out.

SECOND DISTRICT CONVENTION.

The Republicans of the second Con-
gressional district met at White River
Junction to select two delegates to rep
resent them at the Chicago National
Convention in June. On roll call 1876
delegates responded to their names, %
from Caledonia, 4 from Orange, 20 from
Windham, and 50 from Windsor county.
Judge Poland was chosen chairman, and
on assuming the duties made a very
brief speech-saying good word for
Edmunds, hoping the Convention at Chi
cago would nominate him; but who.
ever it nominated he expected the nom.
iuee would have every Republican vote
cast in Vermont, as he would every true
Republican vote of the country.
On coming to business, Col. Roswell
Farnham nominated Col. John B. Meac
of Randolph for delegate, and H. G. Ide
ESQ.,, nominated Henry G. Belden, Esq.
of st. Johnsbury. Both were elected
Utca vOce, without a dissenting voice
Z. Ely-Goddard was nominated as Col
Mead's substitute, and A. E. Rankin
Esq, as substitute for Mr.. Belden.
This completed the legitimate bust
ness of the convention, which perhap
lasted fifteen minutes.
The delegates elected are both we
known and representative men. The
are understood to express first choic
for Mr.. Edmunds, and to be opposed I
a third term. We consider the Conver
tion did we'll in their selection.

Too TRUE.-A Washington letter
says of our representative: "Mr Joyce
of Vermont spoke in support of bill
providing for the appointment of a COM
mission on the subject of the liquor
traffic. He alluded to the vast impor-
lance of the subject in its relation to
the government and the people, and as
serted that intemperance was the sum
of all evils. He argued that congress
had power beyond shadow of a doubt
to authorize such an investigation, and
that it would be both expedient and ad-
visable to do so. The use of intoxica-
ting drinks cost the people of the cOun-
try in two years more than enough to
pay the public debt"

THE BRITISH ELECTIONS.

The elections now going on in Great
Britain are of absorbing interest there
and of great interest here. Some of the
tory organs are giving up beaten, but as
upward of four hundred constituencies
remain to be heard from, many of which
are conservative strongholds, the party
of the present government does not, as
whole despair. Mr.. Gladstone, the lib
eral leader. has been elected from Leeds,
by over 1900 majority. The latest
returns show the number elected to be
3l7 liberals, 27l conservatives, and 63
home rulers. 1t is believed by the con-
servatives that the victorious liberals
cannot hold their majority more than a
year or two, as they will be obliged to
propose practical measures to fulfil all
their promises on the Irish question, and
these will either disappoint the Irish OF
disgust the English, so that vote Of
want Of confidence will be inevitable
However, the foreign policy of Beacons
fields government has cost the conser
vatives the loss of thousands of votes
as it has cost the treasury millions o
pounds, and as both parties are eminent
ly respectable, and neither embraces
large prepOnderance of the baser ele
ment of society, many conservatives hav
become indifferent-in fact, are quit
willing to see change. The liberals
of course, are greatly elated.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR
WASHINGTON, April 6, 1880.

WASHINGTON, April ., 1881.
Legislation on the large appropriation
bills is still delayed. They are not SO
far along as they usually are in Janua-
ry. Many reasons are given by the
Democrats for this, they promised before
the adoption of the new rules, that when
they were adopted, they would give leg
islation such boom, as was never be-
fore known in Congress. But the rules
have been in operation two months and
not single large appropriation bill has
even been reported to the House. They
tried at one time to put the blame of de-
lay upon the Republican party, but that
attempt failed before it fairly got outside
of the Capitol. The people knew where
the blame belonged, and the Democrats
knew they knew it. The real reason is
the Democratic party is not competent
to govern this Republic. Its purposes
are bad, its methods vicious and demon
alizing. and it aims subversion of free
government. They enact no measures
for the good of the whole people, and in
their excuses for such legislation as they
do enact, they call up not the number
less good deeds of the Republican party.
but its few bad ones. They have no
high aims to achieve, no principles they
dare openly avow. and call upon the 10y
al people of the North to support. The
record of the party, curbed as it has
been by Republican President and
Supreme Court, has been bad enough in
all conscience. But with Democrat
President and Congress, the loyal people
may we'll feel anxiety for the safety of
our free institutions and the free and
equal rights of all our people. In this
connection [ wish to speak of doubt
that is in the minds of the anti-third
term men, that if Grant be nominated
he cannot be elected. They may put
their fears away. If Grant is nominated
which in itself is very doubtful, enough
loyal people can be found at the
North to elect him over any man the Dem.
ocrats can nominate with such record as
that nominee will have to fight against.
Without doubt Donnelly of Minnesota
is the maddest and most disappointed
man in the country. He contested the
seat of Washburn. Of course he had M
real claim to the seat But he relied
, upon the Democratic majority to pull
: him through. He depends especially
upon Chairman Springer of the Elec
' lions Committee, and Representative
Manning. Manning manufactured ;
report in favor of Donnelly, and when i
; was voted upon in the Committe
, Springer voted against it. This actor
b of Springers so enraged Manning tina
he rushed into the House and charge,
4 that Springer had beed corruptly inau
+ enced. That through an offer to hi
wife he had received $500 dollars fo
i voting against Donnelly. Springer
now mad, and wants to be investigated
O Of course the charge of Manning is false
= Springer though Democrat, is not
ia corrupt man.. LOGAN.

Edward King, the intelligent foreign

Edward King, the lntelllgent foreign
correspondent of the Boston Journal, in
q recent letter to that paper says that
there is great unrest all through Europe.
He says there is certainly a war spirit
brewing. and it is only a question of
time when it will break out. The peo-
pie in Paris, when on the streets, at
popular gatherings, or elsewhere, while
trying to be gay and unconcerned, still
manifest an uneasiness about something
there seems to be vague apprehen-
sion that something disagreeable is
about to happen. He says that the ma
tiOns of Europe are watching each other
with jealous eye-they are preparing
for war, and if it comes it will be severe
and of long duration.
