There is lets than a itwi in which ti prepare for it, and town cosuaitteefl that bare net already called the caucsf to appoint dcle rAte, should do so wthoui dekj. We trust that there will be a full atteitlance.reraeeeaiinc fcirly the intelligence, moral worth and poutica1 soundness cf ttt Republican amasses of oat Bute. The action of- the Convention on some point is alreaJy pretty clearly foreshadowed. The in dications all point clearly and strongly to tli saavination of Gen. Feter T. Washburn for ( araer. The diettnet expressions of preference on tli part of the Republican press have all bft n it hk fivor Recent advices from Windsor o unt assure us that he will unquestionably be tin choice of a majority of the delegates from th i' county, and we cannot doubt that he is th eheire of a majority of the Republicans of In state. We hope to see him nominated with sub stantial unanimity in the Contention. Les has been sutd about Lieut. Governor thourii the iniieatioos of popular prefer en en have teen as e'ear to that, as in nfvroco la the Oovernorship. The name of Ha, juttx W SrwaRT has been Eoentioned ut all parts of tht Sute, with a universal expression of opinion that if Mr. Stewart would take the nomination the farty reed look no farther for a calsdrdan far the second place on the ticket. The orih doubt in the matter has arisen from the fact that Mr. Sb-wart, fer reasor.s very honorable tL him, hxs steadily dieeouraed the nse of hie name. He does not desire to be a candid ate; but we baie good reason to 'uelieve that when theoon vention a"mbles, anr. he finds bow geaeral h the desire that he shr Mild take the coxaination. he cannot and will not decline it. If he tkould, there will be no Is ek of candidates. Chittenden Geunty would, ir i such evfnt, be glad, for once, of the honor of furnishing the Lieut. Governor, an 1 has a mar , to present, who, as all must own. would make an excellent presiding officer of the Senile, in Hon. L. B. Eaousbt. Lamoille County tr 0uld also I ke the honor, and has a rain she deems eminently tit for the place in Hn. 0 jo. IV. Hcvdee. Bennington Count would also ask favora de consideration for the well-l ;nown name of Hon. Av L. Miner, and there aie three or four less prominent names wh:ch would be brought forward from other CountKS. Vet all these counties will heartily ajne on Mr Stewart, if they have the opportu nity; and as a measure of harmony in the party. - as well a', being the selection of a gentleman concede! to be second to none in fitness for the plice, we hope and expect to see the nomination tendered unanimously to Mr. fctewart. There should be no talk, and there is none so far as we hear, of changing State Treasurer. On tlie who'e, we anticipate a harmonious con vention, anl the nomination of an able and ac ceptable Mate ticket. fount) Contention. Chittenden County Republican Convention meets at Essex Junction this year. The chief business of the Convention will be the selection of nominees for Senator, In place of Hon. E. R. Hard, who originally accepted the office consid. eratjy to the sacrifice of his private business.and who has heM it thecustomary term of two years; for Assistant Jujge, in place of Judge Morse, who has held tie office for two years; and for Sheriff, in place cf Sheriff Griffin, deceased. Wt see no indications of strife over either office. Doubtless there will be no dif ficulty in finding suitable candidates in doe sea son. The announced intention of the British Teers to reject the Irish Church bill in the House of Lords, forebodes a conflict between the two nouses in the English Parliament such as has not taken place since 1S32. Then the peers re- jectel the referm bill, the House of Commons immediately passed a resolution of confidence in the ministry, and of their determination to ac cept nothing out the bill, and the peers had finally to pass the bill under threat of hiving their order swamped by the creation of eighty adiitional peers. The liberals now hare a ma jority in the House of Commons of over one hundred. They and the party they represent, show no signs of any intention to compromise. Mr. Gladstone will dissolve the present Parlia ment, and call a new one, and the creation cf a new batch of liberal peers is proposed, sufficient to give the requisite majority in the House of Lords, when next the bill comes forward. Railroad Stocks would seem to be not desirable property In New Hampshire, as well as in some other States. Governor Stearns, in his inaugural address last week, asserted that the roads In that State which onijinaily cost 21,600,000, are now valued at 9,500,000. And in addition to the loss of fifty-fire per cent on the first cost, the stockholders have received dividends of leas than three and one-half per cent for a series of jean. But even that is better than no divi dend at alL w 1 1 i The Council of Censo. s has closed its first ses sion with very commendable promptness. The important business of its.two dr bys ' -T, i .t.mlme corn- been the appointment or tneusu.. - i mittees, with a special committee to inquire utto 1 the expediency of reporting an amendment abol ishing the Council of Censors.and providtng me more democratic method of amendtng the Con ' stituticn; another to inquire into the expediency of alopting female suffrage; and others tn refer ence to lengthening the term and changing the t t. f election cf Julges cf the Supreme Court; In reference to the constitutionality cf the acts for bonding towns in aid of railroad cor poration and in reference to biennial sessions of the legislature, and one or two other subjects more fully set forth in the report cf proceedings in another column. We understand the Council to be decidedly of the opinion that it is their duty to give the people a chance to vote upon the question cf abolishing the Council, by reporting an amendment of the Constitution to that effect ; and that the plan informally agreed upon, is to get the htjitnesa aloft at the next session in July, so that it msv be completed t another brief ses eion enrly in Octeber, by the if of a call lor a Constitutional Convention, in time for the Legislature to make due proris.'on for the same. We ao understand that a majority of the Coun cil are in favor of reporting an amendment pro viding for biennial sessions of the Legislature. Beyond this the probable action of the Council cannot be foreshadowed with much certainty. So far the Council his done its work promptly andwiaL A correspondent of the St Albans efseiiytr cans attention to the heavy expense of private litigation to the State. He says : "Cases can be fund in every county where the State has been put to an expense of more than two hnn Ired to two thousand dollars, to try a single case. The litigants, of course, pay their lawyers and their witnesses, and the pitiful sum of S7.07 tow ards paying court and jury fees ; while in many, and I might say, most cases, the State has to pay the jury on the trial and the panel in reserve, all amounting to 30 men, besides the judges, officers, stationery, fee, sometimes ten ml fifteen days ; and quite often, when the mat er m controversy is not equal to one tenth of he expense to the Mate. This U clearly inequit ible and oppressive. There can be no justice in jompclling the prudent, honest anl hard-working Moph-of theState to pay the expense o.' settling the controversies of the careless, shiftless and outten lions portions of the coram unity. It is true that many honorable, prulatt men are Irivea into court to defend their right", but much less of that class would be drawa into the lawirereitnotthat evil disposed persons are thus aided by the State. " "n'ttat I would suggest is, that the ea fire cx wsm 1 all ciril rails should be paid by thepar ties. Such was the early judiciary system in thia State, and if such was now the law, we the uVl soon see a great falling off of the business of vur courts. Let the parties onee know that th e entire expense of litigation will fall upon the piirty who shall be decided to be in fault, and parties would be found settling and closing up t heir centriversiee, rather than hazarding tht eirful expanse of trial" That, doubtless, wmf. 1 1 . n J. t: if such a change.

We took a look through the sheps and ware rooms of the St. Albans Foundry Company, a few days since, and saw the Buckeye" in every stage of man ufacture. In view of the fact that the relative merits of several different machines are to be determined by a rigid trill during this month. wedo not feel quite at liberty to express any opinion in that direction, but it may not be out of place for us to say that we found everything ca-nnected with the manufacture of the Buckeye in a highly commendable condition. The ma terial used and the workmanship are all strictly first class. This company claims to have made some very decided improvements in the machine since it took the first prize at the great trial at Auburn in 1&6C It has the merit cf being a home institution, which in more than one sense ought to have some weight with purchasers.

The Miuranx Co.vtbol is Texas. Decis ion of Attorney General Hoar. Attorney Gen eral Hoar has submitted a long opinion to the Secretary of War, in which he says he finds no reason in law for the President's withholding his approval from the finding of the military com mission in the case of James Weaver, a citizen cf Texas, convicted of murder and sentenced to be hung. The question involved was whether a military commission in Texas, in September, 16CS, had jurisdiction over a citizen not In the military cr naval service. Authority therefore is found by the Attorney General in the statute of March 2, 1657, placing certain rebel States, including Texas, under military control, which act was operative in Texas, because she had not adopted a constitution in conformity -with the other provisions cf the act; and all acts of Con are to be presumed to be constitutional unless the contrary plainly appears.

History informs us that there was once a great and good mm by the name of Washington George Washington. He performed many meri torious services for Us country in what was known as the Revolutionary war. In fact he filled the honorable and elevated position of Com-manderMn-Chief of the American army. He was deemed honest and cspable. and was much respected by his contemporaries. Even to the present day his name is frequently uivu.. with gratitude, and, by general consent, he is called " the Father cf his Country." There is, perhaps, nothing endearing in this title per . We frequently meet with phrases such as " stern parent," "unnatural parent." and other ex pressions which indicate that the nature of the parental relation is not always anl necessarily pleasant as it ought to be. Vet the honor- of pa ternity to such a promising offspring I the United States of America not an ins'gmui-iuv one, and on the whole there is no reason to uouoi that the title was meant to be one of affectionate respect As a further mark or honor me nauou ed Washington to the respectable omce oi i resi dent Like all who have filled that position. he did not seek the office; it sought him. Some adulatory individuals have actually as serted that he dignified the office, insteal of the office dignifying him. Still another honor was once bestowed upon Washington. Some demon strative and patriotic young ladies ef Trenton wavlaid him as he was passing through tn it place, obstructed his path and nearly smothered the hero himself, with flowers ingeniously twined into wreaths and boquets. The affair has become historic. Nearly every other house in the land is adorned with a picture, more or less valuable in an artistic point cf view, rep resenting the scene Generally speaking, how ever, the pictures are not snch as to commend tbemselt es to a delicate te'tbetie taste. The old est ones in due cf manufacture, represent Wash ington apparently bound to a pink-colored' horse This may indicate genius in the artist, but does not betoken an extensive acquaintance with natural history. But these are trifles. The graceful act of the Trenton dames was the spon taneous offering of beauty to coueage and pat riotism. Far le it from us to cast ridicule upon the transaction. We allude to it for a different purpose. There is another American soldier, cne Gen. R. E. Lee, whose career is pretty well known His services, it is tru, have net exactly been given to his country for the past few years, and some have even called him a traitor. But. as he wi; educated at his country's expense, be was, of course, relieved ipso facto from all obligation to fight in her defense. He has never been President, which is perhaps somewhat remai k able, in view of the net that his native Sute h the " Mother ef Presidents." However, Mr. Lee can draw consolation from the reflection that Washington was not chosen to that high office till several years after the close of the war in which he distinguished hioiseif. Like his great predecessor, General Lee has been making a tour through a portion of the country. He was everywhere the centre of at rr.c'i n. ai'.I. .n :.i itn i -L-e", an (fleet nf iiutte p; neral homage. He was something f a m trt r w-tlial.

The venerable pictures of Washicgtoi at Trenton, which adorned so many no-ie V.r rinia tnansior", have served their purp " ami -i-ust give way to souitthing of nitre recent interest Such are the vieissitodee of fame ' After honoring the memory of the "Father of his Country " we can now begin to celebrate the character and achieimentsof the " Betrayer of his country." 'Ti a rwre difference of one word, and, as Carlyle would say, "rc must look behind the word to the man." Who shall say that Virginia is not recon structed shall we ngcr exclude her from the Union? To be sure while the ladies of Freder icksburg were decorating Gen. Lee with (lowers many negroes were starving from being refused the privilege of earning their own bread. To be sure the students of the University of Vir glnia are reported in the habit of shooting oolored men as an innocent diversion. It is trot that the influential voice of Gen. Lee is never heard from his academical seclusion in favor ot justice and the oppressed. He may never have labored to heal the wounds of war. He has never announced that he had given up the " Lost Cause." Bat it is well for Virginians to honer him above all the living and dead heroes of the land. It shews clearly where her sym pathies are. Her ' heart is in the coffin " with the corpse of the rebellion. Until the practice of honoring unpunished rebels the Lees in Virginia and theBreckinridges of Kentucky ceases the country will distrust Southern loy alty. The tour of Lc? is of interest oaly as con firming and Justifying this distrust In an interesting debate on Canada and the British Colonies on this continent, in the British IIoue of Commons on the 2d, reported by cable, Mr. Monsell,' the Under Secretary fur the Colon ial Department, intimated that the policy of the government was to throw the cost of self de fence on each colony. Measures to that end had been partially taken, and they would be extend ed next year. He had no doubt that the arrange ment for the cession of the Hudson's Bay Com pany's territory would leceire the ratification of the Canadian Government The .question was not one of purchase only, out also of develop ment, colonization, and civilization, which bad hitherto been virtually closed. If the scheme were successful,the Dominion would extend from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Viscount Bury regarded Canada as the future highway to the Indies and the East He ridiculed the idea of an incorporation of the BritUh posses sions with the United States, and said that by such a courco the Colonics had everything to lose and nothing to gain. Sir Stafford Xorthcote, thought that the Cana dians were better able to decide for themsehes what action they would take in the matter than to act on the advice of the government, which would seem at this distance to be one of the most sensible things said in the debate. Secretary Boutwell's best answer to tLe Xew Tork gold speculators who have been trying to indues him to run the department so as to jfavcr their schemes, is found in his monthly return just made which shows a reduction of the public debt cf over thirteen mil licns in the month of May, and over twenty millions since the first of March. Mr. Boutwell has only to keep on furnishing such monthly statements, and his enemies cannot hurt him, though they do and say their worst The new Liquor bill passed the Massachusetts Senate under a suspension cf the rules on Fri day, the vote in its favor being about two to one It is substantially tha same as the bill onos passed by the House, but having bees verbally amended must go back to that body for concurrent ttion.

The canvass waxes -press of the entire State urges the necessity of a full registration of voters. Upon the subject of voting there is much division of opinion among the conservatives as to whether they should vote . -1 ttnet those against the constitution, or -i -o classes which are to be submitted to a separate vote, and this division of sentiment is an ..o ble to the Republicans, and it would not be sur prising if the result was the adoption of the constitution entire. , Governor WelJ" is reported as making a spl" canvass as the RaJicil candidate tit Governor, and there is complete unity among his suppou ers. The cotortd rote will go almost in a body Republican, notwithstanlliis the offers of the Democrats to giic them offices in tahange fir their vote. On the whole the republicans seem to be justified So ihrfr confidence that they will carry the Sute on the 6th of July. The reeent introduction of the Permissive Pro hibitory Liquor Sill into the BritUh House of Commons, though it was net carried to a second reading, forms an era in the history of temper ance legislation in that country. The bill we understand to be one permitting the authc rifles to close the gin palaces and retail liquor stores, in any place where a majority cf two-thirds of the inhabitants should ote to prohibit it. On the 12th of May Sir Wilfred I twson moved the sec ond reading of the bill, the5rst reading having been given it in February list It was known thai the reception which the Houc should ac cord the bill on too msticn ffr its seconl read ng would decide its fate for the pre.- I. and the event was looked forward to with a great deal of interest by its friends and enemies throughout the country Temperance men had been miking uautial exertions for two or three months pre vious, in tic cy if fce'.ding public meeting" and in circulating petitions, and rhea the day arrived. Sir Wilfred presented upwards of 6UO petitions in favor of the bill. One petition was presented against it from the licensed -ieallers of Liverpool. About 400 members were present during tha debate, which was opened by Sir Wilfred Larson in an able and moderate speech. Mr. Bszley, member for Manches ter, seconded the motion, and the discussion was participated in by about a dozen members, fur and against the measure. At least half of he speakers were in fivor of it, and nearly all admitted the alarming extent to which the ewl of the liquor traffic had attained, and the press ing necessity for repressive Ujislation. The Right non. II. A. Bruce, the Home Secretary, intimated that there must be some recognition of the right of the people to eicrcuw local tontrol over the traffic. The debate having continued for five hours, a division was taken, and resulted in the refusal ol the llou- to give the hill a sec ond reading by a vvU of 199 to '.4.

Another Btrain might have burst its boiler. Pray do not ever complain that the Council is good for nothing in its tthce of proposing amendments We thank the ouncil for answering that complaint, as well as for its proposed invest;gations of various impor tant matters. It is magnifying its office. We believe the Free Pep- has neier com plained that the Council was good for nothing in the way of proposiag amendments. It was the Journal that argued for the Council, oo the ground that the Constitutios was kept from change by its means. But the various amend ments suggested aliove are not yet recomiwiniled by the Council ; and did our friend of the Jommal never bear of sack- a thing as a Coun cil cutting out in the beginning a good deal more wort than it finished Tke office has often been much more " maenified " in the out set than in the sv-queL But we have nothing to say sgainst the present Council. If it will as its members now propose, give the people a chance to say whether they desire to continue the Council in existence as a part ot our State machinery and will not complicate that .Ues tka by submitting too many ethers with it, it will be all we ask of them. Wc yield to no one in our pride in Vermont, and respect for the institutions and character which make her what she is.

This, under the present eyeten, they cmnot do. THrffen men now propose tbe amendments, and a convention of lico hundred and forty men or less, says whefher they shall be parts cf the Constitution. Some of the evils, actual aad pos&ible, of this arrangement, we EhiU try to set forth, hereafter. Bisuor BtELL, of Veraiont, in his address to the late IKocesan convention at Rutland, ap proved the action of the late General Convention cf the Episcopal Church, respecting Diveroo, and tbe consecration and alienation of churches.

And no church could be consecrated unless free from debt; nor -.-..Vnsnn.l nlianoLA.1 1T titan rllxx-ra with. . at t i t t the consent of tit ElesiaSticaI authority of tSje Diocese. As to Divorce he recommenced an application to tea Legislatuss to change tbe (State law on the subject, so as to make it conforaiable to the Scrirrrare Rule, fcau to every ninetet persons in -this State is a ilis.arced party. He regarded1 frequent divorces as an alarming evU, as sappias the foundation of montity, and demanding the cpmly attention of thosoia authority. FRIDAY CounrU or Cen-on. Wedxesdat, June 2. Arrrasoos.

There was paid during the month of May interest to the amount of $2,197,197.60, whkh was due and payable before the 1st of March, and which had never been reported as part of the piblic debt Thus the ihbt was, in fact, reduced more than fifteen and a half millions of dollars in May, and more than 21,000,000 since March 1st It wHl be seen that the amount of unredeemed coupons payable May 1, has been added to the amount of the debt in the last statement Patents. Among the patents issued fer the week ending June 1st, anl bearing that date, were the following to Vermonters ; II. T.Cusbman, North Bennington, composi tion paper polisher. R. N.

The Mauch Chunk Gazette thus gives the ef- feet of the miners' strike on transportation at j that single point : ' About 1200 boats on the ' Lehigh canal have stopped running, by which 3000 men are thrown oat of employment.

A countryman exposed his watch on the corner of a street in New Haven on Wednesday, when I a bystander offered to bet $5 that it wm not I gold.

The story of the horning of Briggs livery ! stsMe in New York is a strange one, and not ' altogether oreditabte to human nature. It ap pears that during the time when the person who 1 m fire to it was arraagiag tbe pnee be was to ' get for the job he eeolly talked the matter over 1 to nis ereoitora, promssusg to pay nis debts out of the proceeds, and the creditors in turn talked it over with others, and finally did not get their money. Heavy rains have eaued turbulent deeds in the White and Wabash rivers of Indiana. The factories, mills and dwelling on their banks are needed, and in many nnom the White river's overflow has made the country a vast lake. Im mense damage has been done to the crops, fenc ing has been swept away, and live stock have been drowned. At a meeting of the Working Women's Asso ciation of New York, last week, Mrs. Kirk, a detegate to the recent Labor Reform Coo vention in Boston, reported that the meetings were very largely attended, but that instead cf discarding questions relating to labor, they spoke on spirit ualism, free love, socialism, women suffrage, and every other known or supposed reform, bat very little about labor reform. A San Franeisoo paper remarks that the wheat crop is exhausting the soil of California, and the Chicago Timn notes tbe fact that the yield of tbe grain-growing districts of Illinois, and of Iowa, Missouri, and Minnesota, is perceptibly less than it was a few years ago. This result occurs wholly from the v-boloale exhaustion to which the lands have been submitted. Tbe famous Israel Putnam adventure was par alleled in Irving, Ks., recently. James Cooky's f Iks were hunting depredating vcotves ; and running one to earth. Cooky's little son. des cended into tbe den, his father holding him by the heels, caught the wolf ty the hind feet, and both were drawn out together. But as modern meddlers have declared the Putnam story a fa ble, we don't expect any belief in this. The authorities of the Central Pacific Railroad announce that no pro rata passenger tickets, nor coupons issued by other railroads will be re ceived by that road, and passenger fares from Ogden City to Sacrament will be tea cents per mile in gold, or about fourteen cents per mil in currency. When we consider that this railroad has been built wholly at the public expense, and that in its construction the stockholders anil managers have been enriched at the cost of the people, tha outrageousness of this extcrtionate policy becomes more conspicuous. A correspondent cf the Cincinnati Gazette accounts for the recent explosion or tie gas bolder in that city by saying that it is custom ary, after a gas holder is filled to a certain ex tent, to introduce chemicals for the purpose of utiioiqug .ut uii v iuc w, miuuui auuing to its illuminating properties. This operation, he thinks, was overdone, and hence the explo sion. When a train of cars, on which there was a hire of bees, stopped at Princeton, Canada, one day last week, it was discovered that the wire gauze placed over the entrance to the hive to al low the bees air, and at the same time to prevent their escaping, had len displaced. The bees had made the discovery, and began to swarm about the ears of the officials. A dozen cr more passengers ran to the spot to learn the excite mement, got their eyes stnng as tbe price of their curiosity. The train ttarted ; and the refrao- ' I tory little creatures belonging to tha hive, were J observed on the wing a few rods behind the trains 1 doing their best to keep up, generally coming ! la as the train stopped at different stations in j time to sting the brakemen.
