CUR FOREIGN RELATIONS Passing from these remarks upon the condition of our own country, to consider our relations with other lands, wo are reminded by international complications about threatening the peace of Europe that our traditional rule of non-interference in affairs of foreign nations has provel of great value in past times, and ought to be strictly observed. The policy inaugurated by my honored predecesor. President Grant. Tax RiLirr Committer wish to remind the charitably disposed of Burlington, that ther are still in need of olothing, and that contributions of garments of any description shoes, or rubbers, as well as rolls from the piece-bags of thrifty housewives which might be serviceable in patching either for garments or for bed quilts will be very acceptable.

It will perhaps serve to ive a better idea of the extent of the work and of the demands made upon the committee, to state that there are over one hundred names on their book, and that nearly every came represents a family of several persons. In the majority of cases, without doubt, this present want and suffering i caused by the impossibility of obtaining work, and many otherwise industrious and self-supporting are in a measure idle and dependant. That this state of things may soon be changed, we must all desire. In the meantime all who can should lend a helping hand.

The Republican students of the University, who comprise tho great mass of the btudents, celebrated the peaceful close of the Electoral count, and the inauguration of President Haye3. last evening, with decided eclat. At eight o'clock the entire front of the College Buildings was brilliantly illuminated with a spermaceti candle in every pano of glass, while a calcium light blazed from the top of the dome. There never was a building better adapted for such display than the main University building, and it made a very beautiful and striking spectacle. At hall-past eight o'clock a torchlight procession of tho students, bearing U.

S. colors and a number of tho transparencies of the Hayes and Wheeler Campaign Club, beaded by a dram Corps, marched from tho University down Main street, stopping on the way to serenade Prof. Collier, and BlIlLI.IKiTOS. TUESDAY. MAKCH C.

But it must not be forgotten that ony a local povernment which and maintains inviolate the rights of all, isatrue self-government.

WTith respect to the two distinct races whose peculior relations to each other have brought upon us the de plorable complications and perplexities which exist in those states, it must do a government which guards the interests of both races cartlally and equally, which submits loyally and heartily to tho Consti tution and laws tho laws ot the nation as well as those of the states themselves accepting and obeying faithfully tho whole Constitution as it is. Resting upon this sure and substantial foundation, the super structure of beneficent local governments can be built up and not otherwise. In the furtherance of such obedience to the letter and spirit of the constitution, and in be half ot all that its attainment implies, all so-called party interests lose their apparent importance, and party lines may well be permitted to fade into insignificance. The question we have to consider for the immediate welfare of those states is a question of government or no government of social order at 1 all peaceful industries and hap piness thit belong to it. or a return to barbarism.

It is a question in which every citizen is deeply interested, and with res pect to which we ought not to be in partisan sense either republicans or democrats, but fellow citizens and fellow men, to whom the interests of a common country and a common humanity are dear. THE DUTY OF THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT TO THE SOUTH. The sweeping revolution of the entire labor fj -tem ot a large portion of our coun try, and ti advance ot lour millions of peo ple from the condition of servitude to that ot citizenship, upon an equal footing with their lormer masters, could not occur without presenting problems of the gravest moment to be dealt with by the emancipated race, by their former masters, and by the general government, the author ot the act of emancipation. That it was a wise, just and providential act, lraught with good for all concerned, is now generally conceded throughout the country. Ihat the moral obligation rests upon tho national government to employ its constitutional power and influence to establish the rights ol the ceo- plo it has emancipated, and to protect them in tho enjoyment of those rights when they are inlringed or assailed, is also generally admitted.

The evils which edict the Southern States can only be removed or remedied by the united and harmonious tk.rts of both iaces, actuated by the motives of mutual sympathy and regard and while in duty bound, and fully determined to pro tect the rights of all by every constitu-tioLal means at the disposal cf my ad ministration. I am sincerily anxious to use every legimate itfluence in livor ol an honest and efficient local self govern ment, as the true resource ot thoso btates for the promotion of contentment and prosperity of their citizens. In the effort I shall make to aecomplih this purpose I ask the cordial co-operation of all who cherish an interest in the wellare ot the countiy, trust ing that party ties and prejudice cf race will be freely surrendered iu behalf cf the great purposo to be accomplished in tho im portant work ol restoration ot the south. TnE EDUCATIONAL QUESTION LIBERAL SUP PORT RECOMMENDED FOR FREE SCHOOLS. It is not the political situation alone that merits attention.

The material develop ment of that section of the country has been arrested by the social and political revolu tion through which it has passed, and now needs and deserves the considerate care ot the national government within the justlimit3 prescribed by the constitution, and wise public economy. But at the basis of all prosperity of that, as well as of every other part of the country, lies the improve ment of tho intellectual and moral condition of the people. Universal suffrage should rest upon universal education. To this end liberal and permanent provision should be mado for the support of free schools by stato governments and it need be supplemented by legitimate aid from national authority. Let mc assure my countrymen of the southern states that it is my earnest desire to regard and promote their truest interests the interests of the white and of the colored people both, and.

equally and to put forth my best efforts in bebalt ot a civil policy which will lorever wipe out in our political affairs the color line and distinction between north and south, to the end that wo may have not merely a united north or united south, but a united country. THE CIVIL 5LK VICE. I ask attention to the paramount necessary of reform in tho civil service, reform not merely as to certain abuses and practices of so-called official patronage, which havo come to have the sanction of ufage in tho several departments of our government, but a change in the system of appointment itself reform that shall be thorough, radical and complete a return to the principles and practice of the founders of the government. They neither expected nor desired from public officers any partisan service they meant that public officers should owe their whole scrvico to the government and the people they meant that the officer should bo secure in his tenure as long as his personal character remained untarnished, and the perforaianco of his duties was satisfactory. They held tbat appointments were not to be nmJj nut expected merely as rewards for partisan services, cor merely on the nomination ol members cf Congress, as being entitled in any respect to the control ot such appointments.

The fact that both the great political parties of the country iu declaring their principles prior to the election gave prominent place to tho subject of the reform of our civil service, recognizing and strongly urging its necessity in terms almost identical in their specific import with those 1 have here employed, must bo accepted as conclusive argument in behalf of these measures. It must bo regarded as an expression of the united voice and will of tho whole country. Bjth political parties are virtually pledged to give it their unreserved support. In the furtherance cf the reform we seek, and in other important respects, a change ol great importance, I recommend an amendment to the constitution prescribing the term of six years for the Presidential office, and fjrbiddiDg a re-election. TUK FINANCIAL QUESTION.

With respect to the financial condition of the country, 1 shall cot attempt an extended history of the embarrassment and prostration which we havo suffered during the past three years. Tho depression in all our varied commercial and manufacturing interest throughout the country which bean in September, 1S73, still con tinues. It is very gratifying to be able to say that there are indications all around us ct a coming change to prosperous tini6s. Upon the currency question, mti mately connected as it is with this topic, I may be permitted to repeat here the statement made in my letter of acceptance, that in my judgment-the feeling of on certainty inseparable from an irredeemable paper cuirency, with its fluctuations of values, is one of the greatest obstacles to prosperous times, lho only safe currency is ono which rests upon a coin basis, and is at all times and promptly convertable into eoin. 1 adhere to the views hereto fore expressed by me in lavor of Congres sional legislation in behalf of an early re sumption of specie payments, and I am satisfied not only that this is wise, but that the interests as well as nubac senti "ce CIOCK p.

Ex-Senator Key is expected to arrive hero to-night. Tbe President is anxious that ho should servo in the cabinet. It is pos-tively untrue that any cabinet portfolio has been offered to Gen. Joe JohnstoD.

THE QUESTION CT ADMITTING LAMAR TO TDK SENATE. Thero was a running discussion in the Senate as to what butinoss could hs transacted at a called session. Mr. Wallace, of Pennsylvania, offered a resolution that Mr. Lamar be sworn in at cacj.

A movement by republicans to adjourn was unsuccessful, and Mr. Blaine cordially seconded the resolution. Mr. Dawes urged that Mr. Lamar be sworn at once.

Thero was then a contest over tho admission of Lamar. It is evident that there is to be a decided d.ffdrenco of opinion in the republican party, but that Lamar will be admitted with the aid of democratic votes. Whether Keliogg will also get in. remains to be seen. MILITARY MATTERS.

Washington, March 5. Although the probabilities are still beiDg discussed with considerable differences of opinion and various combinations are pressing candidates other than those believed to have been set tled upon by the President, thoso best informed on the subject are confident that the President adheres to Evarts for secretary of state, Sherman for secretary of the treasury, Carl Schuiz for secretary (f the interior, McCrary attorney general, and Key postmaster general. Key has agreed to accept. If any chaEgo bo made in attorney general nominations, there are strong reasons to anticipate its offer to Gen. Harlan, of Ken tucky.

The war and navy departments are still undicidtd. New England will get tho oayy, probably; but Senator Morrill, of Vermont, to-night, soems more likely to achieve success than Gov. Rico, of Massachusetts, who is strongly urged by pro minent naval officers. Forbes of Massachu setts, however, is still on the list of possible appointees. Indiana, it is understood will be represented in tho person of either Richard Thompson, an old whig congress man, or Judge Porter.

Bristow is almost certain to be appointed to the supreme court to fill the vacancy caused by Davis' resignation. VICE-PRESIDENT WHEELER before taking tho oath of ofiico said "Senators: Tho official station ever brines with it corresponding duty and re sponsibility, service in analagous parliamentary spheres has taught me how delicate and at times difficult are the duties which the oath I am ubout to take will impose up on mo.

In doing this I shall need your aid, your generous lor bearance. and at times your generous judg ment, upon all which I know I may confi dently rely, when you shall be satisfied of the rectitude ot my intentions.

Tho fol lowing is President Hayes' inaugural ad dress THE ADDRESS. Ft How Citizens: We have assembled to repeat the public ceremonial begun by Washington, observed by all my predecessors, and now the time honored custom which marks the commencement of a new term of the presidential effico. Called to the duties of this great trust, I proceed in compliance with usage to announce some of tho leading principles, in the subjects that now chit fly encage the public atten tion, by which it is my desire to be guided in the discharge ot those duties. NO IRREVOCABLE MEASURES Of ALMIMSTRA TION LAID DOWN. I shall not undertake to lay down irre vocably any principles or measures of ad ministration, but rather to speak, of the motives which should animate us, and to suggest certain important ends to be attained in accordance with our institutions.

and essential to tho welfare of our countiy THE SENTIMENTSOF HIS LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE TO BB HIS STANDARD OF CONDUCT. At the outset of the discussions which preceded the recent presidential election, it seemed to me fitting tbat I should fully make known my sentiments in regard to several important questions which then appeared to demand the consideration of the country. Following the example, and in part adopting the languago of one ot my predecessors, i wisn now, wnen every motive lor misrepresentation has passed away, to repeat what was said before tho election, trusting that my coun trymen will cauaiaiy weigh ana cn- derstard it. aEd that they will feel assured that the sentiments declared in accepting the nomination lor the Presidency, will be the standard of my conduct in the path before me charged as I now am with tho grave and difficult task ot carrying them out in tho practical adminis trationof the government, ho far as depends under the Constitution and laws, on the Chief Executive of the nation. THB SOUTH THE QUESTION OF TiJUAL RIGHTS.

The permanent pacification of the country upon such principles, and by such measures, as will secure the complete protection of all its citizens, in the lree enjoyment of all their constitutional rights, is now the one subject in our public affairs which all thoughtful and patriotic citizens regard as of supreme importance. Many of the calamitous effects of tbat tremendous revolution which has passed over the Southern States still remain. The immeasurable benefits which will surely follow, sooner or later, tho hearty and generous acceptance of the legitimate results of that revolution, have not yet been realized. D. moult and em barrasMng questions meet us at the thresh old of this tubject.

A WISE AND PEACEFUL LOCAL SELF GOVERN MKNT IMPERATIVE. The people of those States are still im poverishrd, and the inestimable blessings of of submitting to arbitration grave questions in dispute between ourselves and foreign powers, points to a new and incomparably the best instrumentality for tho preserva tion oi peace, and will, as 1 believe, become a beneficent example of the coarse to be pursued in similar emergencies by other nations. If unhappily questions of difference should at any time during mv ad ministration arise between the United States and any foreign governments, it will cer tainly ce my dispoiition and my hope to aid in their settlement in the same peaceful and honorable way, thus securing to our country the great blessings of peace and mutual good clhccs with all the nations of the world. THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION. Fellow citizens, wc have reached the close of a political contest marked by excitement lT.I li wnicn usuany attends contests between great political parties, whoee members espouse and advocate with earnest faith their re spective creeds, lhe circumstances were perhaps in no respect extraordinary, saye in the closeness and consequent uncertainty of the results.

For the first time in the history of the country, it has been deemed best, in view of the peculiar circum stances of the case, that the objections and questions in dispute, with reterenco to the counting of the electoral votes, be referred to tne decision ot a tribunal appointed for this purpose. That tribunal, established by law ior this sole purpose, its members. all of them, men of long established repu tation ior integrity and intelligence, and with the exception of those who are also members of the Supreme Judiciary, chosen equally from both political parties, its de liberation enlightened by research and argu ments of able counsel, was entitled to the tullcst confidence of the American people. Its decisions have been patiently waited lor, and accepted as legally conclusive by the general judgment ot the public. For the present, opinion will widely vary as to tho wisdom of several conclusions announc ed by that tribunal.

This is to bo anticipated in every instance, whero matters of dispute are made a subject of arbi tration under forms of law. Human judgment is never unerring, and is rare ly regarded as otherwise tnan wrong by the successful party in contest. The fact that two great political parties have in this way settled a dispute in regard to wiich good men differ as to facta and law. no less than as to the proper courso to be pursued in solving the question in controversy, is an occasion for general rejoicing. Lpon one point there is entire unanimity in public sentiment, that tho conflicting claims to the presidency must bo amicably and peaceably adjusted, and that when so adjusted the general acquiescence of the nation ought surely to lollow.

It has been reserved for the government of the people, where the right of suffrage ia universal, to give to the world the first example in history of a great nation, in the uiidt of a struggle ot opposingtparties for pow or, hushing its party tumults to yield to the issue of the contest to the adjustment according to the forms of tho law, looking lor the guid ance ot tbat divine band by which the destinies of nations and individuals are shaped. I call upon you, Senators. Representatives, Judges, fellow citizens, hero and every where, to unito with mo in an earnest effort to secure to our country the blessings not only of material prosperity but of justice, peace and union, a union depending not upon the constraint of lorco but upon the loving devotion of a free people, that all things may be so ordered and settled upon tho best and surest foundations that peace and happiness, truth and justice, relmion and piety, may be established among us for all generations.

Yet we think it must have been a slip of tho tongue or of the reporters' pen that mado one of the Congressman wind up his speech, after seeing ghosts of murdered thousands stalking through these Halls with the sonorus phrase Dies tree, dies calla!"

Report of the Svpt. of Schools. This is the simpio statement of a melan choly fact. The only cheerful thing about it is tho intimation that our excellent School Board and Superintendent are doing, or would like to do, something about it. This will relieve tho apprehensions of thoso who have feared that the subject ot pre-natal instruction had escaped their attention.

You Can't Afford It I Can't afford what To lost these rare chanoea to get a supply of Note Paper, plain or ruled, ia email quantities at wholesale prloes, which are now offered at the Free Fresa Offioe. March then round the Square, through Church street to Pearl and up Pearl to the College Park, whero President Buckham and Professors Petty, Toirey, Goodrich and Rico were cheered and serenaded, in turn, by the College Glee Club. The songs were political impromptus, prepared for tho occasion and sung to the familiar College airs of "Co-ca-che-lunk," "Bingo." "Musio in the air." etc. President Buckham made a brief speech to the boys, saying that whilo tha general political situation was one that seemed to call for sober consideration, rathor than jubilance and exultation, thty certainly had a right to rejoice in the elevation of an alumnus of the University to tho second place in the nation, and they might bo sure that Mr. Wheeler would not disgrace his college training.

Ho trusted that President Hayes would conduct himself so wisely, and justly and impartially in his high office that tLo people would call him four years hence to reconsider his determination cot to be a candidate for re-election, and hoped that there would be two hundred students hero by that time to rejoice over his undisputed re-election. Prof. Goodrich also acknowledged tho compliment paid him, by a brief speech. As the procession passed in front of tho Republican headquarters, on Main street, the boys gave three cheers for tho Republicans of Burlington. The procession also halted under the large Hayes and Wheeler flag at the corner of Church and College strocts, and gave rousing cheers for Hayes and Wheeler tried and true.

The RicLford Republicans jubilated over tho election of Hayes and Wheeler by firing a sal to and ringing the village bolls.

Two wheelbarrow bets were paid, yesterday. In fulfilment of wagers on tho olection, Joseph Meron, tho barber, wheeled John W. Pago, ticket agent for tho Lake Shoro aud Grand Trunk railrcads, through the principal streets of Montpelier, and William Washburne, performed a like service for Charles Fuller, of the firm of Howe Fuller. The procession started at at2p.ni, from the front of the postoffice, led by the Montpelier Cornet Band, and marched through State and Main streets, the band playing "Marching Through Georgia" and other patriotic airs. The Hayes men carried a United States and a Hayes, and Wheeler banner, and bore their honors with due dignity.

A great crowd witnessed the performance, with cheers and laughter. Whin to Ftre Cannon, To th Kditor of the Free Press and Times I am glad that car cannon have thus far been mute, amid the senseless blare, and clamor about us. While the result of tho long wrestlo over muddled returns and mud dled returning boards is something to thank God for, since we no longer stand trem bling on tho verge ot anarchy, it is certainly not a settlement to hail with roaring cannon. Questions of right and wrong have been staked on the ticklish turn of a card, and tho Providence that mysteriously rules human events beyond the ken or con trivance of men changed the best trump Davis from the Democratic hand to a place among the discards. Shall we then fire guns because we have proved anew no no- nobler truism than that the seven spot will not take the eight spot, at least.

in this world the re sult that has been reached is cot a Re publican triumph, in the same senso that it would have been, had the November election shown the next morning a clear, indisput able victory for our party. The creation of this conference commission, the final accept ance and confirmation of its decision was only reached by some degree of concession, moderation, somo rising above party into patriotism, on both sides, and in this light it seems to me neither just cor generous, to crow coarsely over the result. Let us rise from the weary contest ot months in which the very perpetuity of the Republic has been in doubt, signify our serious comprehension of the situation in some more decorous, and de cent way than the bugle note and air shat tering gunfire. It is not a question of the Garryowens" returning from a fire mus ter with a new broom lashed to their hose cart; it is something to speak of and to think of as solemnly as when we used to read: "Under the blessing of Almighty Ged our arms are again successful." Let us stop right there with thanking God that Providence has saved us, when we deemed all was lost, instead of vexing the air with the cheap bellow ings of the thoughtless braggarts. Let as learn something from the folly of the opposition and cot born powder because we happened to hold the odd trump.

Kinney 1 2J 102, 7 31 31, 4th 93, IS 5th 16J. 7 South Burlington, Town 62. illy Election Passed off quietly, tho only exception worth mentioning being in tho First Ward, where Peter Cameron, a roaring Democrat, assaulted a man named Lamar, whom the Democrats had put upon the list; but who chose to offer a Republican vote. For this, Cameron assaulted him and struck him in the face. Sheriff Drew's services were called into requisition but Cameron avoided arrest.

A complaint will probably be made against him, and he will be held to account. The result is the re-election of Hon. Jo D. Hatch, Republican, for Mayor, by 219 majority; the re-election of M. R.

Tyler for City Judge, by 204 majority, and tho elec tion ot lour Republican Aldermen, and one Democratic Alderman a Republican gain of oi6. The in short, carried everything tbat they expected to. and in most cases by increased majorities. The Republican gain on Mayer, ever last year, is 161. This is glory enough for one day.
