THK TRANSCRIPT.
Vrttlnj', April 20, 1807.
Atljoiirnmciit of I lie Senate.
Tlio special session of the .Seiialo ad
journed on Saturday cveiiiiif. Tlioro
lins been a considerable squabble over
Ilia disttibntion of uflieoH; mid the
thanks of the country are due to Sena
tors for refusing to conlitm llu nomi
nation of thoso v:lio arc known to bo
rebels at licait. In no case, however,
wo bcliove, wnB a nomination rejected
bimply on the ground that the nomi
nee was inclined to support "my poli
cy." 3ut when a person, whoso nauio
was sent to the Senate, was known to
Ktill adhero to rebel dogmaR and falla
cies, nnd whoso aim would bo to injure
tho Union cctiso for which ho many
thousands of lives and treasure have
been expended, ho hos been very prop
erly rejected. Tho President could not
bully the Senate; and when ho ascer
tained this important fact ho was dis
posed to yield tomowlint. TJius it is.
that tho names of somo radical mon
woro sent in for confirmation. Wo
might instance ono or more in our lit
tle State of Vermont, were it necessa
ry. It is suflicient to know that tho
extra session has not been without its
good fruits.
Tho most important measure adopt
ed by the Senate was the confirmation
of tho Treaty with Russia, whereby
tho United States is to acquire a con
siderable addition to our already largo
possessions, provided tho necessary
amount of money is voted. There havo
been conflicting statements in regard
to tho value, commercial or otherwise,
of tho ltussiiui possessions in America.
Somo havo represented them as barren
and sterile, andconsequcntly valueless;
others, who appear to bo equally well
informed, tako tho opposite ground.
Tho measuro seems to havo been a pot
one, for somo reason, with Secretary
Seward, and it is to bo hoped that ho
will givo tho country somo further
light on tho subject. Ono thing is to
bo remarked that tho Secretary had
littlo difliculty in convincing a vory
largo majority of Senators that it in
necessary for our country to acquire
thoso possessions. Perhaps ho can as
easily convince those, who lmvo from
tho first, stoutly opposed it. At uuy
rate, ho should mako the trial.
Tho Austrian mission gave riso to
considcrnblo discussion. Tho Presi
dent nominated, among others, Henry
J. Raymond of tho New York Times,
but tho nomination was laid over until
December next. Mr. Raymond, it is
said, did not desire tho appointment,
nnd preferred that Mr. Motley should
bo retained. It was contended, wo
believe, by Senator Sumner and oth
ers, that Mr. Motley's letter should
not bo considered as a resignation.
Tho President and cabinet think diff
erently. They hold that tho letter is
an unqualified resignation, and that
tho next best man is entitled to tho re
sponsible position. An appointment
will probably be mado by tho Presi
dent at an early day.
If Fornoy's VhronMc is to bo be
lieved, thero will bo no occasion for an
extra session in July. In his issue of
Sunday morning, ho says: ''When tho
Senate adjourned last night, the iin
pression scorned almost universal that
thero would bo no quorum in either
Houso on the 3rd of July next: tho
feeling between tho Senators and tho
XiXccutivo was so comparatively cor
dial, nnd tho intelligence from tho
South promising submission to tho
terms of reconstruction so auspicious,
that very fow doubted that tho great
measures of Congress had anticipated
and foreclosed all chances of difficulty
ami dinsontion." Mr. Pornoy's viow
of tho situation is hopeful, and tho
country will rejoice it it proves cor

Death of Henry Sllnelionr.
Our renders will nolico under tho
mortuary hend tho nnnouueemout of
tho death of Henry Stinohour, Esq.,
of Highgalo. His ngo and wall-known
characteristics justify moro than n

Henry Stinohour, son of Oeorgo
Stinchour, was tho second whito
child born in Highgato. Ho was
born in June, 1787, and was ono of
sixteen childu-n, eight sons and cigh";
daughters, all of whom lived to bo
men fand women, nnd all of whom
woro married. Of these, five aro now
living, two males and three fomales.
Henry Stinohour was a tanner and
currier by trade having been an ap
prentice of tho lato David Slovens,
Senior, of St. Albnns. This business
ho carried on extensively at Swnnton
Fulls, for Rovoral yours and

manner. Ho then became largely cn

of St. Johns. At this timo ho kept a
hotel, and his houso becamo widely fa
mous for its abundant cheer nnd sub
stantial comforts, nnd tho nbsonco of
all pictenco and extravagant prices.
In fact, to remarkable was his estab
lishment for llioso desirable particu
lars, as to attract notico and securo
honorable mention by several Europe
an tourists. Ho was tho pioneer of
tho villago north of tho Missisquoi riv
or in Highgato, nnd upon the spot
whero ho rooted out tho pino stumps
now stands his hotol, which he kept
until his death, and which will con
tinue, for tho present, to bo maintained
by his family as heretofore.
Mr. Stinohour married in early life
Margaret Carrignn, niece of tho Into
Thcophilus Mnnsfiold, Esq., who with
ono son nnd threo daughters, survives
him. Henry Stinchour was a prompt
and thorough business man, nnd emi
nently social in his nature. Ho was
an energetic and honest man, nnd left
n wido circle of friends to mourn his
decenso.

Railroad McetlnK at Portland.
Tho Portland Daily iVf&j -of tho
lGth, has a full report of n meeting of
merchants and others, on the lath inst.
at that placo, to consult respecting a
railroad from that city to tho West by
way of Northern Vermont. Wo have
only room for an abstract of somo of
tho remarks:
Ex-Govornor Israel Washburn, Jr.,
spoko nt somo length upon tho pro
posed route from this city via Fry
burg, Conway and tho notch of tho
White Mountains to St. Johnsbury
and Montpolicr, Vermont, and thenco,
connecting with Ogdonsburgh. Ho
said tho visit of the gentlemen from
Vermont somo two months since, and
their conversation, had led him to
look into the matter, nnd tho moro ho
looked nt it tho moro was ho in favor
ol it. If tho moasuro was carried out
it would bo of greater importance to
tho morchants of Portland nnd to tho
prosperity of the city thnn any road
that had over been thought of even
more than tho Grand Trunk road.
Gov. Washburn spoko at some length
upon tho route, its advantages, its cost,
and of tho comparatively fow engi
neering obstacles to bo met with.
Tho road, when complotcd, would
bo under the control of one company,
and in tho interests of tho city.
Freight can bo laid down front Chi
cago, nt Portland, cheaper than it can
bo at any seaport in tho United Stntcs.
Chicago nnd Portland would bo ono
or Portland would bo the outlet for
shipinonts from Chicago. It would
bo tho largest freight road in the Un
ion, exceeding oven tlis Grcnt Western.
Responsible- parties stood roadv to
loaso tho road when completed, and
to pay Bix per cont, intorest upon it.
It was for the pcoplo of Portland now
o socuro this important road to thoir
own inturosts. Tlioro is a tide in tho
affairs of cities, as woll ns men, which,
if taken at its flood, leads to fortune,
and now is tho timo for Portland to
tako advantago of this lido.
Col. C. Q. Clapp inquired who tho
parties woro Unit would loaso the
road.
Gov. Washburn said ho was not au
thorized to name tho parties. Ho ap
pealed to Mr.Fairbanks of Vorniont,
whether his statomont was not correct.
.nr. i-airbanks said it wis, and that
tno oner camo lroin responsible
ties.
Col. Clapp snid ho understood it
was the Vermont Central Company
that had offered to loaso tho road,
Col. Clapp then spoko at somo longth
in favor of tho Portland and Roches
tor road. The routo of tho proposed
road through tho Notch ho did not
consider as feasible. Ho would cheer
fully voto to loan tho credit of tho
city to this road to go to Fry burg or
Conway N. H., but ho did not be
lieve they could get further than the
taller place, unless at an iminer.se
cost.
Mr. Linsloy, of Vermont, a civil
engineer, at tho request of Governor
Washburn, mado somo statements ns
to the feasibility of tho routo through
the Notch of the Whito Mountains.
Tho surveys had not been completed,
but ho had examined the routo and
wns satisfied that tha routo could bo
constructed easier and with bettor
grades than through the passes of the
Green Mountains. The road would
run along on tho side of tho mountain,
and, therefore, thoj obstacles that ap
poar so insuperable in tho traveled
road would bo avoided; tho grades
would not exceed G3 foot to the inilo.
Ho thought tho road could bo built
from horo to Montpclior for $'25,000
por mile.
Senator Wilson in Richmond.
Sonator Wilson, who is making n
trip South, made a speech nt Rich
mond on the 'J'Jd inst., which seems to
hnvo been well received. Wo givo the
telegraph report:
Senator Wilson addressed a crowd
of nbout (JOOO poisons from the Capi
tol stops this afternoon. Nearly nil
those present woro colored, though all
classes of whites woro represented.
Ho was introduced by Gov. Pierpoint,
and after alluding to tho fact that ho
visited Richmond upon the invitation
of several members of the Legislature,
he proceeded to give tho history of tho
Reconstruction bill. Ho then recited
the events at tho closo of the war to
show that President Johnson's policy,
adopted against the will of the nation,
had caused moro unhappincss than
the work of any ono mau in America.
It again excited the mon who had been
moro than willing to accept the terms
of Congress. The Reconstruction bill
was not passed to humiliate tho peo
ple of tho South, but to meet the needs
of the whole country. The question
now before tho Southern States is
whether they will elect men to State
otliccs and Congress who aro in favor
of an honost acceptance of tho policy
of the nation, uot mon who still mourn
over a lost cause and who still hope
that something may turn up to over
throw that policy and restore old ideas
and measures. Patriotism demands
that tho latter class shall never more
be permitted to participate in the
management of the general govern
ment. Tho apostacy of Andrew John
son had made the Republican triumph
at the next Presidential election cer
tain. The spa iker wanted all classes
of men, the colored, Hie white, the loy
al and thoso who had abandoned the
wicked heresy of secession, to stand
together on tho national platform of
the Republican party. As for the col
ored vote of Virginia he had no fear
of its being combatted by secesionists.
Ho appealed to tho old Whigs of Vir
ginia and tho followers of Henry Clay,
who declaiod that slavery was a griov
oits wrong, that no contingency could
make it right, to seize tho occasion
and unite their fortunes with the Re
publican party. Now was their day
and hour to carry Virginia by an over
whelming majority. To that class who
aro disfranchised for participating in
the rebellion, ho would say that by
speaking and working for tho national
policy thoy would show their country
men that disabilities now imposed on
