Senator Edmunds on Secret Sessions.

The attention of Senator Edmunds was
this morning called to various publica-
tions to the effect that he had become a
convert to open executive sessions. To
this Mr. Edmuuds said: 1.-The statement
is entirely without foundation. Undoubt-
edly in particular instances it is wise and
right to take off the injunction Of secrecy
from proceedings both as to treaties and
nominations, but in general it must be
plain that the discussion of treaties ought
to be confidential, the same as discussion
by business firm of their business plans
would be private and confidential between
the gentlemen concerned and as to nom
nations, it often happens that accusa-
tons against gentlemen nominated are
made of which the Senate feels bound as a
matter of justice and fairness, to
inform the candidate without dis.
closing the names of persons Civ
ing such information, in order that the
gentlemen concerned may have fair OPP
pOrtunity to defend hmsalf against false
and scandalous accusations. 1t would be
for the public interest in such cases where
the defenders are complete to publish such
things and again, as to nominations, it
often must happen that respecting the
particular qualifications, fitness and ca
pacity of the gentleman proposed there
should be absolute freedom of discussion
without the fear of injuring the feeling or
wounding the sensiblities of the candidate
or of his friends That is the way feel
about this matter and think the conclu-
sions are wise "-IVash Cor. journal.

himself and that as soon as he learned
of the nature of the ground, and before
Hancock got back to talk it over with
him, he promptly decided to fight at Get
tysburg and gave the necessary orders.
AS to the concluding assertion above
quoted, 1t is simply the old Butterfeld-
Sickles- Doubleday story so often refuted.
We do not care to discuss it, This is n
free country, and any one who is deter
mined to believe it must be allowed to do
So But we think that any journal that is
willing to do fair and equal justice to the
memory of two gallant soldiers, both now
dead who were personal friends and acted
in harmony at Gettysburg, ought, If it re-
peats Butterfied's calumny, to print with
it Gen. Meade's solemn declaration 81 ut
terly deny under the full solemity and
sanctity of my oath and in the firm con-
viction that the time will come when the
secrets of all men shall be made Known
utterly deny ever having intended or
thought for one instant to withdraw that
army unless the military contingencies
which the future should develop during
the course of the day-mght render it a
matter of necessity that the army should
be withdrawn" And it would not be any
stretch of magnanimity also to put with
Meade's denial, the sworn statement Of
Gen. John Sedgwick, that he did not be-
lieve Gen. Meade "ever contemplated any
retreat" from Gettysburg and that as he,
Sedgwick, was second in command there,
Gen. Meade could not have contemplated
retreat without informing him.

made by j. b. Henon. NJ d., a gentleman
who is well known in this city. In that article

giving an account of the excitement in
Rochester, and elsewhere, caused by DR.. Hen

ticlcs were ever published which caused great
err cemmotion both among professionals and
laymcn.
Since the publication of these two articles,
having been beseged with letters of inquiry,
we sent communication to Dr. Hcnion aud
also to II. II. Warner Co., asking if any ad-

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Mrs. Hancock's
grief yesterday was pitiful She kissed
her husbands forehead while the tears
fell from her overlooking eyes. Then she
sank into chair and would have fallen to
the floor had kindly hands not come to
her assistance. Six soldiers bore the body
out of the house. The detachment of
troops drawn up outside then moved down
the winding path to the Chester A. Arthur,
which was to receive the party. The
mourners were Lieutenant and Mrs. Crit

Bowler, Colonel Russell and wife, Mrs

vice of her friends, did not leave home.
At 0 O'Clock the boat left her dock, to the

At 93O O'Clock the coffin, was lifted
from the trestle by eight stalwart sol

HoratiO SycmOur.

The late Horatio Seymour, who died on
Friday at the house of his sister, Mrs
Roscoe Conklng, in Utica, n Y, was
born at the village of Pompey, Onondaga
County, N. Y, May 81, 1910, so he was
just completing his seventy-sixth year.
He was a student in Geneva and Hobart
colleges, and chose the law as his profess
sion. In 1S4l he entered the New York
assembly, serving three terms-one term
in the speakers chair He was elected
mayor of Utica in 1912. In 1850 he was
nominated for governor by the Democrats
and was defeated by Washington Hunt.
In 1859 he was elected to the governorship
and defeated for the same office in 1854
In 1862 he was again chosen governor. In
that critical period of the great civil war,
the empire State nobly held its place in
the Union column and during his term
as governor he commissioned not less than
$4,000 officers in the army of the Union.
When the draft riots imperilled the city
of New York in July, 1868, he was much
criticized for addressing the rioters,
from the City Hall, as his
friends" with the further assur-
ance that he was their friend He
however proclaimed the city to be in a
state of instruction, and divided it into
military districts, and in part by his visi-
tation of the rebellious districts and his
personal appeals the mobs were quelled
and much bloodshed and destruction
averted During the same year Mr. Sey-
mour presided over the Democratic nation
al convention that nominated General Nc
Clellan for the presidency and became
once more the candidate of the Democracy
in New York for the governorship. In
1868, while presiding over the deliberations
of the national Democratic convention in
New York city, he was nominated for
president. At that time Mr.. Tilden took
the stump for Horatio Seymour for presl-
dent. Eighteen years later Mr.. Seymour
performed the same service for Mr.. Tilden,
but neither succeeded in electing the
other. Undoubtedly Gov. Seymour could
have received the nomination of the Demo
cratic party in 1876, that was given to
Gov. Tilden, if he had said the word. He
declined it, however, knowing that he
could not stand the excitement of an
other presidential contest Over ten
years ago Mr.. Seymour retired perma-
nently from public life. AS a citizen and
as public servant he was without blem-
ish. While not magnetic, he always en-
listed the sympathies of his followers and
always commanded the respect of his OPP
ponents. In his death a good man has
passed away.

AN INJUNCTION OBTAINED.
Receiver Hendee of the Vermont Nation
al Bank of st. Albans Wins II Point.


The failure of the Vermont National
bank Of St Adams will be again brought
into prominence from the fact that. Re-
ceiver George w. Hendee has just OBJ
tanned an injunction in the United States
Court for the district ofNermont, restrain
ing the Connecticut and Passumpsic
Rivers railroad company from prosecuting
the suit now pending in the Superior
Court of Lower Canada and involving the
title to certain bonds of the Montreal,
Portland and Boston railroad company.
When the Vermont National bank closed
its doors it will be remembered that it had
among its assets, through the assignment
of its president, Bradley Barlow, some
S2l9, 900 worth of bonds of the Montreal,
Portland and Boston railroad and it soon
became evident that aside from an assess
ment on the stockholders of the bank the
only chance for the depositors receiv-
ing anything lay in the disposal of
these bonds. Receiver Hendee took
measures to sell the bonds when the Con
necticut and Passumpsic company began
a suit in chancery to establish their title
to the bonds In spite of this the bonds
were advertised to be sold at St. Adams
on the sixth of May last, but at that date
the bids received were not large enough
ing influenced by the suit pending in
chancery This suit WAS to be tried in a
short time but the injunction secured by
the receiver will postpone that until after
the SUIT in the United States Court is de
termined. The hearing on the injunction
will occur at the term which opens in
this city Tuesday Feb. 49,

The Pawtuxet Valley, II. l., Cleaner
calls attention to an oft repeated mistake
made by writers of American histories as
regards the territorial relation of Vermont
TO the province of New York previous to
Vermont's admission into the Union as a
State. The subject is a somewhat compli-
Gated and involved one and it is not strange
that many people do not comprehend it.
The New Hampshire Grants, were, MS
everybody knows, previous to 1850 bone
of contention between New Hampshire
and New York. Originally settled for the
most part under grants of land issued
by the governor of New Hampshire, who
held a royal commission, assigning the
territory to New Hampshire, Vermont
was afterwards claimed by the Duke of
York as a part of the territory granted to
him by the king, and by means Of false
representations and petitions pretending
to come from the settlers of the Grant
themselves, a royal decree was obtained
annexing the Grants to New York. AS
this change of proprietorship involved the
surrender of all land titles obtained
from the governor of New Hamp-
shire, the settlers of the New
Hampshire Grants resolutely and
successfully resisted the authority of New
York, and defended themselves against
the sheriffs posses sent to evict them or
compel them to take out new titles under
the seal of New York Vermont was
never part of, or more than nominally
subject to the authority of New York.
But many historians persist in describing
it as first a portion of the colony of New
Hampshire, and subsequently of New
York. The Leader instances the revised
edition of Barnes's Brief History of the
United States, recently issued, as a case in
point. This history contains a map illus
trating the relative size and giving the
boundaries of the colonies at the end of the
revolutionary war; and it makes the
colony of New York include the whole
territory of what is now Vermont. Nc
less distinguished an historical and sta
tistical authority than Col. Francis A
Walker also makes, in the first volume OF
reports of the tenth census the statement
that during the decade just passed
Q790-lS00) Vermont, formed from a part
of New York, has been admitted to the
Union" The fact is that Vermont al
pendence OF New York, and that she final
ly extinguished the New York claims by
a money payment of 100000, which was
distributed among various holders of New
York titles. The independence of Yer
mont had been declared 10 years previous
but was not recognized by Congress
until New York relinquished all claims
upon the territory and acknowledged
the validity Of the original New Hamp
shire grants. The injustice of the claims
of New York has been fully shown b.
Gov. Hall and other historians. To in
clude Vermont as a portion of the New
York colony, at any time in its history, il
a mistake. The claim of New York wa
proved to be unfounded more than cen
fury ago. If, as derived from the crown
it ever had any validity, it was over
thrown by the resolution, and it SHOULD
not now be recognized by any modern his
| torian.

A COmmendable Bill.

A commendable bill has been intro
duced in the Senate by Mr.. Hoar of Mas
sachusetts, its object being to provide
means for more general information as
regards National affairs. AS the distribu.
ton of public documents is now managed,
few except editors and the particular
friends of Congressman receive copies
The public is almost entirely dependent
upon the telegraphic dispatches to news
papers for its information as to the doings
of Congress and other public business at
Washington.
Senator Hoar proposes that a copy of
every public document printed at the
government printing Office shall be sup
piled to each of Az repositories of public
documents to be designated by law, each
of the 1926 congressional districts to have
at least one, while each senator may desig-
nate two more in his State. At present
only portion of the public documents are
furnished to the public libraries in the
States. Particular documents must be
obtained from Washington either by pur-
chase, or through the favor of members
of Congress
The people annually pay a large sum
for the support of the government print
Ing office, but not one taxpayer in a
thousand ever sees a copy even of the Con-
greSSiondl RccOrd-except as page now
and then comes to him in the shape of a
wrapper around his county paper. Most
of them it is true, do not care to see them
and if there was depository of pub,
docs. at every cross road in the country
the masses of the people would never look
at any one that did not have pictures in
it. still it is well to have all the issues OF
the government press placed where they
may be readily accessible to every citizen,
and we trust Mr. loar's bill will become a
law.
