The following letter from Congressman Pc
land, declining denomination, islprinted in
the Rutland Herald
To The People of the Second Congressional
District Of Vermont:
At the expiration Of this Congress. 1 shall have
entered my SEVENTEEN year. My friends fatter me
by saying that my health, and strength and cApaci-
service of representative was cOnfed to the leQiti-
mate work of legislation, 1 do not think should DO
at all oveItaxed: But the course Of events has
been such as to throw vast amount of outside
work upon member. The principal source of this
is in the pension Office. Since the commencement
OF this Congress L have looked after nearly 800
pension cases The labor and correspondence
growing out of this has been very burdensome. /
do not speak of this to complain of It, for 1t was the
ouly efectual way my cons tuents had to reach the
department; and | have performed the service
ehverfully and willingly and faithfully as 1
could. Some OF you know that my whole life has
Deen one OF 1neessant and industrious labor, and
do not feel that what of health and strength have
left ought to be expended in such service but that
am entitled to devote il to my own affairs and the
interest of those who may be dependent upon me.
am quite aware how seldom 1t is that old men who
have held much public office willingly quit public
life, and even when obliged TO give way to younger
and more vigorous men, how apt they are to be
soured and to feel that the people ungrateful.
| am troubled by none of these feelings.
| have had a large share of the
honors and burdens of official life.
feel deeply grateful to the people of my native
State for the trust they have shown, and the many
honors they have conferred and feel that have re-
ceived all that have merited. 1 know better than
you do how often have failed to accomplish meas
ures desired in public; but l truly say that
have faithfully endeavored to fulfil every duty and
humbly trust that the work of my public life has
MOI been without benefit TO the State and country
and good to my fellow men. do not think you
Will lind successor who will be more faithful and
diligent or more watchful Of your interests than
have been. You will easily find one of greater
ability. The residue of my years, whether few or
many, hone to spend quietly among the people of
the state where was born and with whom my life
has so far been spent have delayed the announce
convention If the result of that had been exactly
what was desired by the Republicans of Vermont,
might have felt it my duty, subject to your APP
proYal, to have remained in Congress for another
term. Luke p PoI,AND

SENATE

WASHINGTON, June 70.
At 11.oS there being but four or five Senators in
the chamber Mr. Ingalls, moved a call of the roll
Pages were sent to the committee room to notify
the Senators and by the time the roll was completed
30 Senators had put in an appearance A quorum
being 80 no business could be done not even read
ing of the journal. at 1920 no quorum being yet
presented Mr.. Riddleberger moved to adjourned
and on that notion called the yeas and nays. This
call brought quorum all of course voting 'fno''
Business was then proceeded with.
MI. Mcnullian reported formally the bill to estab
hsn signaI stations upon Nantucket Island and to
estapAsn submarine telegraph communication with
the mainland; also the bill authorizing the erection
the calendar.
On motion of Mr.. Allison the Senate then re-
sumed consideration of the legislative executive
ana judicial appropriation bill.
Mr.. Beck opposed the amendment proposed by
the Senate mmttee on appropriations striking
out the clause consolidating and recognizing Gus
TOMS collection districts. He read from the annual
report OF the Secretary of the Treasury favoring
reduction and added that by calling of 30 collec-
ton districts, of which % pay nothing and 80 do
not pay expenses, there would be money saving to
the government of half million to a million.
Mr.. Allison replied that the clause referred to
statutes. If the subject thoroughly understood
he said this idea Of consolidation would not be en-
tertained by either House of Congress.
Mr. Hale said that it was attempted by clause
inserted in the appropriation bill to obliterate
great system elaborated with extreme care ninety
years ago. Under the proposed consolidation
Mr.. Dawes thought the customs districts of the
country should be recognized but doubted whether
the number could be wisely reduced
After further debate the committees amendment
was agreed to, striking out the clause directing the
consobdation-41 to 10.
The Senate committees amendment striking out
the clause permitting small dstilleres to run with
out storekeepeers gave rise to a long discussion,
which was not finished when the Senate adjourned
HOUSE.
On motion of Mr.. Lowering of Massachusetts,
Saturday. the 28th of June was set apart for con-
sideration of bills relating to the eight hour laws
and to convict labor

ways and means reported the bill to modify exist
ing laws relating TO duties imports and the col
lection of revenue.

case Of Chalmers vs. Manning. Mr.. Cook, who had
drawn up the majority report in favor of Chalmers,
said that practically Chalmers connection with
the Office of United States attorney had ceased and
that he was not disqualified from taking the seat
Mr.. Davis, of Missouri, supported the minority
resolutions.
The majority report was then adopted with divi-
sion and the oath was administered to Mr.. Chal-
mers.
The House then resumed consideration of the
Backbone Railroad Co. forfeiture bill, after which
without action adjourned.

Gen. Dow for Bnine.

General Nal Dow is reported to have made
the following reply to an interviewer, seeking
to learn his position with regard to Mr..
Blaine's nomination:
The temperance men of Maine, Kansas and
iowa occupy an exceptional position in rela-
ton to the matterl you speak Of In
these States the Republican party has adopted
prohibition as an important part OF its plat.
form, and is in favor of such legislation as may
be necessary thoroughly to carry out that
policy. The party in these States has
adopted the necessary measures to al
low the people to express their will
as TO constitutional prohibition. In these
States, therefore, temperance men feel them
selves bound in honor to be loyal to party.
This is the true policy for us to pursue for the
interest of the cause throughout the Union
1t is for our interest to show that the party
will be strengthened wherever 1t comedies
to the people the right las it is
their undoubted righD TO say for
themselves what the constitution shall
declare as to the liquor traffic. ]
think the temperance men and temperance
women (for the later are now a power at the
ballot box) of these states will stand by the
publican nominee, as those of other states may
also do consistently, because personally he is
all that any temperance man can require of
any candidate. That there is to be at the same
time breaking u, or breaking down of par
