THE q. A. r., RESOLUTIONS,

Among the many resolutions presented
and adopted were the following
Resolved, That the G. A. R. OF the
Department of Vermont, now in session,
recommend and urge upon the text
book committees OF the State, and other
school authorities who have the matter
10 charge, that the proper steps be taken
to introduce into all our schools as text
books under the law such histories and
reading books as PROFOUND and plainly
set forth those principles that were in
controversy IN the War of the Rebellion,
anu at least fair account of the part
taken in the contest by the Union sol.
dlers of the North.
Resolved. That the G. A. R, Of Yer.
mont, in Encampment assembled, CRATE.
fully acknowledge their appreciation Of
the service of their comrade, Redheld
| Proctor, the honorable Secretary OF War,
in arranging the records of the Adjutant
Generals department in his Office so that
the great delay heretofore existing In
obtaining data necessary for the procur.
ing of pensions has been removed.
Resolved, That for ourselves and in
the name Of Vermont's patriotic dead,
who fell upon many battlefield or died
by inhuman treatment in the horrible
prison pens of the South in the defence
of their country, we commend with
pride and satisfac ion the wisdom that
Comrade Proctor displayed in refusing
to officially recognize the death Of that
important rebel, Jefferson Davis.
Received, That It is the sentiment Of
the G. A. r. Of Vermont, that every
school house in this State should possess
United S ates flag and that the same
should be displayed on all proper occa-
sInns. thereby teaching our children an
object lesson which we believe will pro-
duce grand returns IN patriotism and
loyalty to our institutions in the genera

HOW THEY CARRIED VIRGINIA.

They are great many people at the
North, and perhaps even good many
republicans, who entertain the idea that
although there may have been some
rauds upon the balJt,in Virginia last fall
still the Democrats had really the most
votes, and Gen. Malone could not have
)een elected even with an honest ballot
md a fair count. McKInney's alleged
uaJority was so large that fraud of
'ucn dimensions seemed impossible.
That three or four thosand votes might
nave been unlawfulIy y rejected or counted
'ut seems probable enough, but that
thirty or forty thousand could be seems
almost Incredible.
We recommend to all persons who
ave any doubt that ma ajDrity of the
voters of Virginia we're for he Republi-

1856 men are not appointed by The courts

D-mOcratic caucus and elected on one
rAllOt by resolution of the legislature
They appointed all the registers and
judges of election. and thus a partisan
Democratic caucus controls the election
n every precinct 10 the state. Acting
under advices from Democratic head
quarters, these Electoral Board select as
registers and judges of election men
who are willing to commit the crime of
fraud. These men are giving to under
at md at the outset that Democratic
victory must be achieved at all hazards. >
This is enough, in itself, to show that
20 long as the election is completely con.
Irolled by Democratic caucus, Re-
publican Governor can never be elected
IN Virginia. An average counting out
Of 447 votes in each OF the ll2 districts
would make a differance of 80, 600 thou
sand in the state.
These election officers have complete
control over the registration list, and
can strike off what names they please !;
they have complete control of the ballot
boxes, and car count the votes as they
please. To suppose That having dicta
torial power they would refrain from
using il in what they consider the best
interests of their state is to give them
credit for a sort Of honesty that does not
exist in the Democratic party in any
state, much less in the "Solid South"
The delegation gave further facts

the Democrats in detait. This is enough.
