N. fcewton Its Character Changed. If anything were needed to prove conclusively that the whole Cincinnati movement, although begotten in good part by the most honorable and commendable motives, has proved a most gigantic fraud, and has become prostituted to entirely different and the lowest partizan ends, it would be found in the striking and suggestive fact that all of the men who went to Cincinnati or sympathized with tbe Liberal movement sincerely in the interest of real reform all of the true Lib The Vermont Ontral-Agaln. We yesterday could but allude briefly to the unexpectedly favorable action of the se-curity holders at their meeting io Boston on Wednesday. The report of the Trustees was received with applause.

Not a syllable was uttered against tho integrity of the management not a doubt was thrown upon the value of the securities and the entire discussion related to the practical question of meeting tbe immediate liabilities, of getting the road out of chancery, and forming a corporation directly responsible to tbe seourity holders, and carrying on the business in the only way in which it can be carried on satisfactorily to themselves and to the public The following committee of conference with the officers of the Central Railroad, was appointed Representing the Vermont and Canada Railroad, William Perkins and Lemuel Shaw, of Boston first-mortgage bonds, Edwin C. Bailey, of Boston seoond-niortgage bonds, J. Converse, of Boston equipment bonds, Ivers Phillips of Worces-ter. '( Before leaving the chair, the President of the meeting, Gen. James S.

Whitney, deliv ered a stirring speech iu which he said Here is a railroad, so far as I can understand the report, that has been well and ably managed. It i good management fur a railroad to run since 1858 without the power to add one single dollar to its construction account to huild every bridge that has been burned down, build every station, lav every foot of new rail, out of its current run ning account, and report that it has done all this with other expenses with from 69Jor70per cent, of their gross earnings. I submit to you. gentle men, that this in a magnihcent report, tint 1 am not here to whitewash Governor Smith I scarcely ever spoke to him until to-day, but we all know something about railroads. We know that the old railmad of which we all feel so proud, the Boston and Albany, has continually added to the amount ot its stock.

It has often asked the old Commonwealth of Massachusetts to loan the cor poration its credit within the last four years, to extend its bonds. It has carried its stock upward until its bonds and equipment are III ttmuuim nuuun, jLiiia mnu run hv trustees and managers under, a court. withouy any resources except their running receipts to meet the expenses of such an enterprise as this, laying between two rich roads, with the Northern Pacific touching the Pacific Ocean by a route tour hundred miles shorter than that of the Union Pacific, and where you are 700 miles nearer Japan than at the terminus of the Union Pacifio with all this and with a capital of six hundred and ninety odd million of dollars in this city, are you to let this little link of railroad, that will pour uncounted wealth into the lap of your city in the future, are you going to allow it to waver and crawl along, blocking up this tide of wealth that it is ready to bring you 1 trust not.

Hv Mr. Carpenter, that in the retirement of Henry Clark, from the Secretaryship of the Senate, a position he has filled for eleven consecutive years with eminent courtesy and signal ability, the State loses an oftWr who has devoted himself untiringly to the public service, and that the best wishes of this body with which he hs been so long and honorably connected will follow him through life.

Mr. Carpenter rennrked, that in introducing this resolution of thanks, it is hut simple justice to put upon tbe journal of this bedy, an expression of its appreciation of his long service, his patient and genial deportment, and all who have been associated with Mr. Clark officially in this body will read with pleasure this ju-t mark of tribute to a long tried, honest and faithful public officer. That the adoption of this resolution may carry with it our just appreciate in, and accompany the adoption of the resolution, I demand the yeas and nays. Mr.

Bailey said that he most heartily endorsed the sentiments of the resolution and all that had been said commendatory of the retiring Secretary Mr. Clark, and he deemed it fit that such nn expression should be adopted by this body.

Presidektul Emotobs at TjArgb, HARMON CANFIEI.D, or Arlincton; ELISHA P. JEW JOT, ow Montpkmeb. Governor's Message. Tbe readers of the Message of Gov. Converse, transmitted to the General Assembly on Thursday, will find ample reason for pleasant anticipations in the details of State Finances.

It is very apparent that there may be, not only a present reduction of the State tax, but a red notion for all future time, until extraordinary expenditures shall be required by extraordinary necessities. As Republicans, we point proudly to tbe results of Republican administration, in both National and State Finances. Fidelity to creditors and fidelity to the people have both been preserved, and the future prospect covers an honorable discharge from the National and State debts, and a relief to tbe people from heavy burdens which have been cheerfully borne. The Message introduces rather more than the usual number of topics, and each is 'concisely stated and submitted with due modesty and deference to the consideration of the representatives of the people. Gov.

Converse justly claims for the State a high reputation during its past history, and we may well unite with him in the aspiration for future excellence and glory. We are sure that he will endeavor to see to it that the little Republic shall receive no harm in his day. Lieutenant (inventor TaCt. The Lieut. Governor elect, Hon.

Rossel S. Taft, who was inducted to his new position as presiding officer of the Senate yesterday, took the chair" as naturally and gracefully as though he had been constructed expressly for it. Following an illustrious example, he made no rpeech not that Mr. Taft is not a speech maker, and a most excellent one, on occasions, as the present political compaign has given frequent evidence. But his present business being to preside and not to speak, he omitted the ceremony of a speech in tak ing the chair.

That he will do and perform all duties that devolve upon tbe President of the Senate, in a manur both graceful and dig' nified, as well as agreeable to tho members of the Senate and of the Joint Assemblies, he gives abundant proof from the start. Adding Insult to Injury. It is not only announced that Mr. Sumner has written a letter positively docliuiug the Lib era-Demo-oratio nomination for governor of Massachu setts, but it is further alleged that the news of the action of the coalitionists, in forcing him into so painful a position, had a very bad effect upon him, and actually rendered his physical condition much worse than it was when he left the United States several weeks ago, so that bis health is now quite precarious, the spasms and pain and sleeplessness which characterized his complaint having returned. It was really unkind in his new friends to pursue him across the broad Atlantic, compelling him again to face the political nemesis from which he was fleeing, and in doing so they exhibited astonishing want of tact.

Now they will east about for a candidate for whom to poll the few hybridized votes lying loose in that State, and it is whimpered that the redoubtable F. W. Bird will be asked to assume the mantle dropped by Sumner. He is probably as good a man as any to shovo into oblivion. RepuSlicans of Massachusetts are setting an admirable example in their Congressional nominations.

Thoy will return such strong men of the present Houbo Messrs. Dawes and Hooper, and will send among their now men such excellent material as Judge E. R. Hoar and lion. William Whiting.

Judge Hoar, late Attornoy-General of tho United State, is known throughout the oountry not only ns a statesman of the highest ability, but as a man of the most pure and exalted character. Mr. Whiting also stands in the front rank of lawyers, tnd as Solicitor of tho War Department had much to do in shaping the legislation of the war and reconstruction. His work on tho war powers of the Constitution has given him a high plaoo among writers on law. It is a peculiar pleasure to chronicle such excellent nominations.

It is estimutod that by the anniversary lay of tho great fire (October 8,) at least one third of the burnt district of the South side of Chicago will have been covered over with new business structures; and the char aoter of these now buildings fur exceeds that of those destroyed, is regards both thoir solidity and their gonoral appearance. Glazier. Journal of yesterday read and spprovea. Mr. Carpenter offered an amendment to the 17th rule of the Senate, sp that the committee on Railroads shall consist of live members instead ot three.

The rule requiring twenty-four hours to intnrirena before action is taken on a proposed amendment to the rules was suspended, on motion of Mr. Carpenter, and the amendment was adopted.

At half past ten o'clock, the Senate came Into the Hall ot the House ot Kepre-entativcs, ana a Joint Assembly was formed to hear the report of the committee to canvass the votes for Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Treasurer.

His honor Lyman G. Hinckley, President jiro ton. of the Senate in thechair. Georgo Nichols, Secretary of Suite, Clerk.

Whole number of votes returned, Nece-sury for a choice, 29,287 Julius Converse had 41.940 A. B. Gardner had 16,613 Scattering, .14 Majority for Julius Converse, And thereupon the President of the Joint Assembly declared that Julius Converse, having received a majority of all the votes cast hy the freemen of this State, is duly elected Governor ol the State of, Vermont for the two years next ensuing. Mr. Carpenter, a Senator from Washington county, intnidiiced a resolution, which was adopted, as follows: Resolved, that a committee of one Senator and two llepnsensativcs, tie appointed by the President to wait upon the Governor elect, inform him of his election, and that the Joint Assembly is in session ready to receive any communication be may tie pleased to make to them.

The President ot the Joint Assembly appointed as such committee, Senat Cariienter, of Washington county Messrs. Hebard, of Chelsea and linllou, of Btirlirgton. The committee subsequently appeared within the bar of the House, accompanied by the Governor elect, who itnlornied tho Joint Assembly of his acceptance of the office, to whbh he had been elected, and that he proposed then to receive and suliscrilie to the oath of office which oath was duly administered by Hon. Asahel Peck, one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of Vermont, and subscribed to by his Excellency. The canvassing committee further reported For Lieutenant Governor, Whole number of votes returned, 58,528 Necessary lor a choice, Kussell S.

Page, having re- iiityoniy oi an mo vomjs cast by ttie lroemon of this State, Is duly elected Treasurer erals have repudiated the nomination of Greeley.

udge Stanley Matthews, who was the temporary Presideot, Judge Hoadley, Judge Stallo, Mr. E. L. Godkin, of The Nation, William Cullen Bryant, of tbe Evening Post, Col. Ilticker, of Chicago, and others are among this class.

The latest to deolare himsulf is Charles Francis Adams, Jr. His late speech at Quincy is a cogent and unanswerable argument why no sincere and honest reformer can support Mr. Greeley. He clearly shows that every object of reform contemplated in the original Cincinnati oall was defeated in tbe nomina tion of Greeley, and is safer in tbe hands of Grant. The reformers were beaten at Cincinnati and the Convention fell entirely into the hands of the tricky, spoils-seeking politi cians.

And tbis class of its elements is the only one that accepts its action. The fact that the men we have named and others who represented the best purposes at Cincinnati, are now all united in support of Gen. Grant, will have great weight with all the better clashes of the country. Even those who have been dissatisfied with some things in President Grant's Administration, will deem it far safer to re-elect him than to invite all the risks of Greeley's success. It is the thought and conscience of the country against the reactionists and the corruptionists.

Pennsylvania. Next week's election in this State, owing to the peculiar and exceptional Btate of affairs, excites more interest than that in Ohio and Indiana. Against Gen. Hartranft, the Republican candidate for Governor, are arrayed not a few Republicans who support Gen. Graut.

Col. Forney and Gov. Curtin men who have been influential in the past politics of the State are opposing him with their whole might. Col. Forney's paper, the Philadelphia Prers, long the leading paper in the State, is making a fierce fight, seconded by some others of less influence.

It is impossible that with all tbis bitter warfare, Gen. Hartranft should show the full Republican strength. It is easy to see how, under such circumstances he could be defeated and the State still saved for Grant. Pennsylvania is emphatically against Greeley so emphatically that Buckalew, the coalition candidate fur Governor, has never yet dared to declare him-self for Greeley. In the face of these undisputed facts, the defeat of Hartranft would be no criterion of the vote of the State in November.

But all the intelligence indicates that Hartranft is to be elected in spite of this venomous and unrelenting opposition. The reports are full of encouragement, and we are confidently looking for a decisive sucoess. We repeat, however, what wo have said before, that the true test will manifestly be the vote on the rest of the State ticket where there is no division. If Mercur is elected Judge and Shofield, Todd and Albright Congressiuen-at-Large, rs nobody pretends to doubt, it will how, whatever the result on Governor, that Pennsylvania is for Grant.
