Laughter Senator Chandler said that in proposing to repeal all republican measures the democrats bad undertaken a very large job. You have undertaken, he said, to unseat a man ia this body. Sir, there are 12 Senators on that side of the House that every man on this side believes have poorer titles to their seats than the honorable Senator from Louisiana bas to his. By fraud, and violence, you occupy your seat, and now show us the road how to vacate seats in this body if your dare. Senator Eaton called Senator Chandler to order, and said the language was insulting.

After a brief collcquy, the chair overruled the point of order. There was considerable confusion. Order being restored, Senator Chandler reiterated his remark, no told the democrats to make the most of their day in court, for tho people of the north from the Atlantic to the Pacific are aroused and alarmed at the statements made and the action taken in Congress, within tho last 60 days. Senator Chandler concluded Let me say to you, gentlemen on the other aide, "Mene Mone Tekcl Uphar-Bin," is written all over your brows. Applause in the galleries.)

There were twenty-two innings, the game being won by Daly with a score of 600 points to 39? points made by Gir-nier. Daly's highest run was 155 and Garnier's highest 71, points.

Latrimouille, arrested at Willsboro the other day, for the murder of Mrs. Dunsbach, near Cohoos, N. had his examination at Co hoes yesterday.

Witnesses identified him as a man who was seen about the Dunsbach premises, who stole a suit of clothes and who was spending money in the saloons after the mcrder. He was held for trial, and is now in jail at Albany. Mrs. Van Vranken, an important witoess for the prosecution, who saw the suspected murderer coming from the Dunsbach premisess died of paralyes, on cdnesday. Messrs.

B. Turk Bro our old estab- ished clothing dealers, have, as always heretofore, the largest line of suitings and pring overcoats to be found hereabouts, and their as usual, are as low as the lowest. Not only in suits but in furnishing goods of every description including all the newest and moat fashionable styles their stock is complete and every taste and purse can be accommodated. Besides their immense ready-made clothing business the Messrs. Turk do a large custom business, having one of the bast cutters in Nsw Eag- land 'and their success in this branch is evideccsd.by the number of their patrons.

Their store newly christened "The Park Store" is one of the largest and pleasantest Vermont and the long and successful career of the firm is ample guarantee of their enterprise and honorable dealing. Mr. J. Chauvin, our enterprising fruit dealer, has sold sinoe the first of February the astonishing quantity of five hundred boxes of oranges and lemons, or about 000 single fruit the largest amount, proba bly, ever sold in Burlington in an equal time. The average price was something like fifteen cents per dczen.

Mr. Chauvin keeps one of the best cigar and fancy gro cery stores outside the large cities and even in them it would be difficult to find a better equipped establishment and one where the prices are as low and we can safely recommend him to our readers as eeping a large and varied stock at the low est of the prevailing low prices. He sells low for cash and his customers have the bene5t of his long-acknowledged shrawdno3s and usiness acumen. Dairy Medah. Hon.

D. MasoD, of Richmond, president of the Vermont Dairy men'. Association, has received three of the iliggin dairy medals, one each of gold, silver and trotzj, designed as premiums for the first.second and third best fifty pounds of butter, respectively. The medals are presented by fl. and F.

B. Thurber Liverpool, agents for the celebrated Higgia dairy salt, and those who compete for them must use this salt in their butter. The medals are of very neat design, the silver and bronza being something like an inch a half in diameter, and the gold. somewhat smaller. The obverse bears the figures of two milch cows, and the legend, The Higsin Medal, for Improvement of American Dairy Products." The reverse bears the inscription, "Presented by II, R.

and F. B. Thurber with a blank space underneath on which to engrave the recipient's name. Mr. Mason informs us that these medals will probably be awarded at the State Fair, next Fall.

Paul Morphy is harmlessly insane. He denies that he knows anything about chess, imagines that he is a great lawyer, and that he was defrauded in the settlement of his father's estate. He is living quietly at New Orleans, promenades Canal street daily, and if any acquaintance rashly gives him a chance, rehearses the Ions storv of his wrongs. He is well cared for by his friends.

The case of Register Hlbbard cane to a sadden termination, yesterday. It took a long time to blow that soap-babble, bat once blown, it vanished into thin air with all the alacrity of a dream. "The three young men" of the Chicago Bar Associa tion made the suds.

One of them admitted some months ago, that he had nothing against Hibbard. but that Judge Blodgett was the man he was after. The vindication of Judge Blodgett has now been followed by the exculpation of the Register of his court. The indictment was fatally defective in a legal point of view, but Leonard Swett, as counsel for the defence, offered to waive that point, and positively refused to accept an acquittal on tnat ground alone. Icq time of the court was not consumed by any elaborate details, bat the charges made in the indictment were shown to be false, absolutely and inexcusably, in every instance.

The detainers of Mr. Hibbard had employed experts to go through his accounts aod select fee bills which were the most clearly open to suspicion of being extortionate Four were selected, and upon those fonr the indictment was based. Since then the defence has had experts go through those cases with the most painstaking tidtl-ity, The examination showed that in each of these cases the charges had been below tne amount allowed by law. The fee bills were less than the law allowed in one ca-o to the extent of $3, in another of $35. a third of $10, and the fourth of $50, making, all told, $103.

Of coarse, that bein tho case, the prosecution had no more to say, and a verdict of acquittal followed, as light does sunrise. Tne "smart Alecks" who started all this hullabaloo about over charges in bankruptcy cases are inexcusa ble, ihey should have looked into the matter and known the facts in the case. 1 is very serious business to prefer charges against men discharging public trusts, lbe loose and flippant oeroetra- tion of this sort of wrong is one of the worse practices ot the times. Bat this much is doubtless true in the present case A well- founded hostility to the bankruptcy act had more to do than personal spite with these persecutions. When the war upon Mr.

Hibbard began, that law was in full blast. To compass its repeal was the problem. It was a very Dad law in many of its details. and justly obnoxious. When Mr.

Hibbard was appointed register the office was not very lucrative and there was very little competition for it. In fact, there was some surprise felt that so good a lawyer should accept the position. But it proved to be very profitable, not nearly as rich a bonan zi as seems to be generally supposed, still good enough to make him an object of en- vy. Ana oetween the prejudice of the business public against the law, and profes-i sionai jeaiousy, jir. uiDDara Decame a target for a great deal of unmerited abuse.

His vindication could not have been more complete. We congratulate Mr. Hibbard upon his personal triumph, and the public has no small occasion to rejoice over the result, for official honor and integrity con cern tne public interest. A Mysterious Find. The Manchester I Journal says the quiet village of Dorset, Bennington county, has become quite excited in consequenco of a young lady discovering a su-picious looking article in a pond, which proved to be a large leather valise, full of gentleman's clothing all marked worked in with black silk.

There was aNo a diary in the valise in which was writ ten words in Greek, French and Latin, and also an envelope on which was written the name "George G. Allen," also E. K. Allen." Two stones were found in the valise, supposed to have been put in to cause it to sink. There were straps on the valise, showing it had been strapped to the back of some person.

There are various theories regarding it. Some think it was stolen and disposed ot in this way to pre vent discovery. Some think there may be a case of suicide or murder connected with it, and the pond has been examined for further light on tho question. Ferrisbcrgh. James Field isbuildinir a new house.

Ringing Speeches from Senators Edmunds, Blaine and Chandler. The Revolutionary Democracy Sharply Arraigned and Solemnly Warned. The Bill Finally Passes as Came from the House, It By a Vote of 33 to 23. XI.VITII COrtURESS-FIRST SESSION, SENATE. Washington, May 9.

Sanator Edmunds, in his speech on tho army interference bill, said there exists express authority for the President to exert the military powers of the government whenever the execution of the law, on any occasion and anywhere, is obstructed by combinations too powerful for the ciyil authorities to suppress. The United States marshals, too, have expross power to command all necessary assistance in the performance of their duty. The law of 1703 afforded all necessary power to protect tho citizen from violence, and in th3 posses sion of his rights, and covered all power, or none, to protect, preserve and defend the constitution, and maintain public tranquility. If we surrender at this time the one thin? estflmerl rtfl an amall Ktt enma 50 reat by thoso who seek tj carr aour auuBlu mrougu, we surrenaer an. Senator Edmunds analyzsd the bill and said the preamble was contradictory of its body.

He said the government does not enter a state. It is in every fibre of of every man. He wished it was in the hearts of all men of the republic. The bill reflected the doctrine of those who supported it, namely, that this government. nearly a century old, hoary with renown after so long vindicating its right to exist, should bo treated as an extraneous neighbor and sometimes as friend or foe.

I denounce such a doctrine. The army is, in the end, the power of tho law. Men have denounced the affirmative power of the constitution to regulate the election of members of the House, and by sophistory they fritter away the traditions of the constitution and deny tbo teachings of its framcrs and say there is no liberty unless it be obtained by tbo su premacy of state rights. Was there not a scheme on foot to prevent appeals from state to federal courts, thus taking away the rights of citizens Where are vou going to stop I have seen the majority of this body enter upon the consideration of a measure violative of the traditions of the Senate, the spirit of the constitution, and the safety of the and designed to overturn a decision that gave to the Senator from Louisiana (Kellogg) his seat, and give him his dismissal in order that a different man mav tike hU place. Dj you in a mandatory manner, in your hour ot triumph, intend to sweep away everything which the wisdom of our fathers achieved and the valor of their sons preserved The bill before us is the first steD ia that direction.

There is somewhere in th9 Constitution, unless we go into anarchy, power'which in spite of threats will stand as a bulwark against the tffirt to break down the constitution and laws, and when you recover from your emotions, you will have the pcRce of which the act of 1865 speaks, but you will have peace at tho polls only when you recognize by deed as well as bv word the political equality of all citiz3ns and the free right of lawfullv voting under the law and for the law. It will not be a peace of the reign of terror and the grave, but a peace of justice and liberty asserted in a legal form ior an expression of the public wiil, when bygones will be bygones and peace and harmony everywhere prevail. Applause Senator Blaine said, 1 desire simply to put a punctuation point in the progress of things as they are now going on, and that punctuation point is to mark the hih tide which the ancient doctrine of state rights is reaching in this Congress. I desire here to affirm and point oat that there never was before the rebellion, there never was at any time in the history of this country, any such assertion of state rights, any such assertion of th3 mastery ot stale government over the federal govern ment, in its own domain, as is here asserted by the heirs lineal of Calhoun and Brcckcnridge. We thought there had been something gained on this question in the oostly war and in amend ments to the constitution, but the tide, as it now sweeps, is on the obb.andthe power of the union, -power of the federal government, was never so weak as these laws and theso proceedings will make it.

Pass this bill, pass it as a triumph of a reactionary party against the spirit ot tho union, pass it in defiance of all the lessons of all teachings that have como from a bloody and abortive rebellion. pass it, and mark it as the high tide of that reaction, which, even if it continue to rise higher, could lead only to an other and formidable rebellion against the legitimate authority of the union. Senator Chandler said history is repeat iug itsolf to-day. He referred to the supremacy of southern Senators in the Senate in 1857, and' said the case was the same to-day as then. He asserted that the people are more thoroughly arous ed, to-day, against this beresy of state rights, then they were from 1857 to 1S61 Senator Chandler showed how the northern democratic senators supported measures oi southern senators and said, after the close of the rebellion you claimed you were POOt BTJRI.lXttTOai.

THE SATIO.AL COLORED COSVES- TlOi. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON ADDRESS. Nashville, May 9 In the national color ed convention, Gov. Pinchback, chairman of the committee on address, mada a report which states that obstables have been constantly thrown in the way of the progress of the colored race, because of the intoler ant spirit of the ren who control the South The report says Our toil is scarcely better requited in freedom than in slavery free speech in some localities is not tolerated the rights of citizansbip are denied and proscription meets us on every hand we are practically denied the rights and privileges oi freemen; with fair adjustment bstween capital and labor our race would soon be self-sustaining our people ia the north, also, are not wholly exempt from unjust discriminations.

The report complains that the colored race is denied necessary educational advantages and recommends a nation al educational system, embracing ad van tages for all, and to be sustained from the proceeds of sales of public lands The report contemplates the political condition of the race in tho south with serious apprehension for the future Through intimidation and violence the colored vote has been suppressed and the power thus given us has been made weapon against us. The report attributes tha migration of colored people from the south to the assumption that there is a systematic purpose to still further abridge their rights and privileges, and reduce them to actual serfdom. The -migration evidences a healthy growth in man ly independence wnicb tne national emigration society endorsed and the Yieksburgh lab.r convention ap proved. Tno report recommends that colored youth observe good habits, practice economy and push themselves ahead in all branches of effort. Allusion is mado to the services of colored men in the war, and a demand is made in tbo name of citizansbip conferred by organic law and in the name of humanity and Christian brother hood for the same treatment accorded other nationalities of our common country nothing more, nothing less.

The report declares that a crisis has been reached in the history of the race, and invites the sym pathies ef all liberty-loving citizens. A resolution endorsing the action of Judge Rives, ot Virginia, in regard to colored juries, was endorsed. The committee on emigration mado report declaring the con vention must speak in an unmistakable man ner on this subject. iVEtV KiVULAKIt MEIVK. THE OAR YALE TS.
