Wants a Change.
[St. Adams Messenger. ]


Come, let us reason together. Mr.. Mer-
rill obtained the collectorship by clever
politics, nothing else. He was not summon
ed from the humane II not lucrative task
Of giving absent treatment to spavins TO
save the ship OF state. No popular ac-
claim, no moving ministry of grateful
hearts. besought the trust for him. nor
pressed the crown upon his reluctant
brow. No maidens strewed his path to
Burlington with garlands rare, nor did
the joyous multitude bring sacrifcial OK
en- to yield the crimson of their veins to
sanctify his induction into the seat of
the mighty. The people had nothing to
do with it, when the facts are reduced to
their elements. Ancients have assembled
to dignities equally exhalted, heralded by
some portentous flight of birds that the
augurs translated into beneficent omens,
or sanctioned by the mystic vagueness Of
Delphic oracles that, like barber shop
signs, read Soap going up the street
and "I,ather' coming back. But for this
sublime event was reserved an awful
phenomenon of Nature beside which the
puny manifestations of the pleasure or the
rage OF Olympian Jove with his Vulcan
forged thunderbolts were as a drooling
baby's peevish tumble of a teething ring.
When the Amounted assembled to the re-
ceipt of customs and gathered the classic
folds of his purple about him. the Bur-
lington Free Press Numbered, the Rutland
Herald was moved to tears. and the state
OF Vermont was rent in twain as by a
mighty CONFUSION of Nature, revealing
two custom house jobs where only one
had been before. And all the people stood
amazed. But they didn't say Amen! Mr..
Merrill did not get his position by pop
ular favor, but by political pull, that's
the English OF it. He got it just as hon
orably and fairly no doubt, as other
men have got 1t before him, and he got
1t just the same way that other men be-
fore him got theirs. But do the people
owe anything to Mr.. Merrill now that
the public treasury has not paid?

Sitting as a grand jury the House OF
Representatives on Tuesday, with almost
a full membership and after more than
five hours discussion to the exclusion of
all other business, adopted resolution
providing for the impeachment OF Judge
Charles Swayne, of the Northern district
of Florida, for high crimes and INSIDE
meanors." Congressman Littlefield of
Maine and Gillett of California dissented
from some OF the charges. The charges
against Judge Swayne are swearing that
his expenses were $40 a day when, in
fact they were proven to be considerably
less, and of misbehavior, the evidence
showing that out of each year he spent
on an average PIP days neither in his
district holding court nor outside OF his
district holding court; that he never voted
in Florida, and never lived there in any
proper sense OF the term.
