The Democrats are to hold their
State and District conventions at
Montpelier July 22d. Mr.. Thomas
Jefferson Atkins will rule the roost
more absolutely than ever before, of
course; and it would be a great saw
ing Of time and expense for the Dem
ocrats to allow him to name u ticket
for them without travelling to Mont
pelier to 60 through the useless form
of ratifying his nominations.
Mr.. Atkins's choice of nominee
for Governor seems to WAIVER between
that amlable citizen S. G. Shurtleff
of Montpelier, and our own popular
townsman, Major N. p. Bowman.
We sincerely hope that the imperial
crown will descend upon the Majors
head and really, he has borne the
burden and the heat of the day in the
service of his party long enough tc
entitIe him to its recognition in this
the moment of its triumph.-St

The new town of Vancouver, the
terminus of the Canadian Pacific
Railway, on the Pacific coast, has
grown as by magic since the decision
of the company to locate their term
mus there became known. The To-
cation was selected from its having
a fine harbor front and plenty of
space for terminal facilities. The
fire swept everything clean, only two
houses remaining for population
which had grown in few months to
1000 persons. 1t is known that ten
persons were killed and it is feared
that the number will reach fifty as
missing. The fire took place on Sun
day evening. In an hours time
nearly 500 buildings, including ho-
tells, of which the place boosted eight,
churches and business blocks were
burned down. The town will be i'm
mediately rebuilt. and probably in a
more substantial manner.

THE SECOND VOLUME OF GEN
GRANTS MEMOIRS.

1ne second volume OF the Per |
sonal Memoirs of U. S. Grant,
which was published on the 10Th |
inst, and is now being delivered to
subscribers, opens with Gen. Grants |
assumption of the command at Chat
tanooga in October, 1868, and con-
cIudes with the grand review at
Washington, and some general re-
Elections on the causes of the war and
the present condition and prospect of
the country. AS in everything which
the author wrote pertaining to the
war period the narrative is direct IN
statement, simple in style, and sim
gularly free from self-obtrusion
There is evident throughout a sincere
endeavor to do exact justice to the
commanders upon either side. Praise
is bestowed generously and criticism
reluctantly; and there is combined
in an unusual degree the calm Impair
tiality of an historian who writes at
a considerable distance of time from
the occurrences which form the SUBJ
ject matter of his history and the
vividness which pertains only 10 per-
sonal experience. The description
of Lees surrender, for example, is
admirable and impressive, but it's i'm
pressiveness is due to the almost
childlike simplicity with which it is
told. Here was the closing scene in
a mighty drama of civil war, and the
cOmmander-in- chief of the victorious
forces might have been expected to
be flushed with triumph. But the ex-
ultation which lie felt at the first no.
LITIGATION of surrender Immediately

preston as he thought of the disap-
pointment of the men who had fought

| He went to meet Gen. Lee in the rus

straps to mark his rank, and reflected
afterwards upon the contrast which
he presented to the Handsomely
attlred and equipped commander Of
the opposing forces. When they be
gan their talk, they soon drifted away
to "reminiscences of West Point ant
army life, and were SO absorbed tina
they almost forgot the errand which
had called them together. The ia
nous terms of surrender, the mos
magnanImous, perhaps, ever accord
: ed under circumstances at all paral
lei, were written out hastily, withou
: time for deliberation. Much of Gen
( Grants character is disclosed In th
simple greatness of his bearing unde

Win Act as Mediators.

KANSAS Cry, March l9.-Governur
Marmaduke, of Missouri, and Governor
Martin, of Kansas, have decided that the
public interest renders it necessary for
them to endeavor to act as mediatqTs in
the present strike. They have prepared
a proposition which, alter consideration,
has been accepted by the strikers, and the
two governors left tonight for st, Louis
to lay it before the railroad officials. The
men agree to return to work on a basis of
settlement adopted at the close of the
strike a year ago, that is, they will come
back on the terms of agreement IN force
at the time they struck, simply making a
request that the question OF increasing the
wages of bridge and trackmen be taken
into account. The matter Of Halls rein
statement on the Texas X Pacific is men
toned in the proposition.
Mr.. Powderly did not leave for St.
Louis as he had intended, but is in secret
conference with the executive delegates
this evening, and has not been interviewed
since his receipt of Mr.. Hoxie's reply to
his request for a meeting. The general
feeling here is one of strong hope that
the intercession of the state executive will
secure a settlement between the officials
and the men, as it did a year ago, and an
conclusion Of the strike is anticipa-
ted.

Promoting an Army Officer on the
Retired List.

WASHINGTON, March l9.-The only
bill which gave rise to any discussion was
one to change the rank of an army officer
on the retired list of the army. The bill
authorizes the president to select from
colonies on the retired list one officer who
served as chief of artillery during the war,
and place him on the retired list with the
rank of major general. The bill is in
tended to apply to the case of Henry j.
Hunt. 1t met with a good deal of oppos
s%ition, principally from the Republican
side. Pending action, the committee rose,
and half a dozen bills we're passed.
