How S. NJ WAITE Was CAPTURED
Waite left BrattleborO on the morning of the
10th of June, and on the 18th information
reached Brattleboro that he was at Portland,
Me, en- route to Europe. Word was I'M
medatcly forwarded to the treasury depart
mcnt, and a letter was then addressed from
that department TO the department of
justice, asking aid in experimenting the fugi-
tive The instructions, which have so
promptly resulted in the arrest of Waite
were then issued by Attorney General De-
vens. Care had been taken by the friends of
the accused, and by the accused personally,
10 convey the idea that he was really in Eu-
rope Letters purporting to come from him
on the other side of the water were exhibited.
One of his relatives made flying trip across
the ocean and back, and the inference that
he was on English ground was in these ways
greatly strengthened. The agents Of the de-
partment to whom the attorney general had
confiled the task of arrest were conscious of
The fact, however, that fugitives from
justice rarely advertise their whereabouts,
and wisely concluded that Waite was in this
country. Meantime a son of the absconder
began to loom into Importance by transact
Ing some business on his fathers behalf
which he could hardly have known about
without having recently seen his father. The
son was also talking freely and writing about
contemplated investments in Nebraska from
which he expected to realize sum sufficient
TO pay his fathers Indebtedness in full, provid-
ed the officers relinquished their efforts TO ar
rest him. adding that if these efforts were
persisted in this plan for repayment would
result in failure. The young mans move
mcnts were closely watched, and it was ascer-
tanned that he about to visit Omaha, and that
his mail address in that city would be to the
care of Truman Buck. Shortly after this a
quiet locking man arrived in Omaha and
took plain lodgings in the vicinity of Mr..
Bucks house. The first days observations
convinced him that he was on the right track,
and in three days thercafter-on the 2lst OF
September-the quet-looking man, in other
words the agent of the department of justice,
was on his way East with the prisoner

To the Editor OF the Free Press and Times:
In the House, to-day, Mr.. Ely Goddard
introduced resolution ins.ructing the
Governor TO tender an invitation to General
Grant to extend his New England tour to
Vermont, and TO visit Monlpciicr as the
guest of the Legislature Mr. Brown Of
Grand Isle at once stepped 10 the front as
spokesman of the Democratic party of the
House. and moved to Insert the name Of
Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock after that OF
Gen Grant This would have made a sad
mess, grammatically, of the resolution; but it
was supported by Mr. Brown in several short
speeches, in which he cndcayorcd To make
out that a proposition 10 do honor 10 the
only living President Of the [ nitcd States
and the greatest living soldier, was Il politi-
cal move. The amendment was voted down.
The resolution was opposed by one or two
members on the score of the expense but
after explanations by Mr.. ElyGoddard and
Mr.. lIinckley that there were private gentle
men who stood ready 10 mcct all the cx-
pcnses of a reception to Gen. Grant, il pass
ed the Democrats voting against it, togcth-
or with thirty or forty Republicans, most Of
whom probably thought there was not the
slightest probability that Gen. Grant would
accept the invitation and that consequently
it was not worth while to take any action on
the subject.
Governor Furnham leaves tomorrow for
Boston, TO be the guest of the MiddlcseX
Club of that city, with the other New Eng
land Governors, at the grand dinner to lie
given to Gen. Grant in Boston, Wednesday

THE new rules adopted by the House at
Montpelier, provide that the seats shall he

the second day of the session; that The
Speaker may call any member to the chair,
who may occupy it for time not exceed
ing four consecutive sessions; that if the
Speaker be sick, or unable 10 occupy the
chair, the House shall elect a Speaker pro
tan, who shall serve until the Speaker is
able to resume his duties; that the rule
requiring the onGrossment of all bills before
the third reading be repealed, since there is
a law directing their cngrossment before
being signed 10y the Governor; and that
committees shall report to the House upon
all the matters properly referred to them.
