Washington, December 29,—
Evarts is quoted that the Pres-
ident may renominate the per-
sons whom the Senate rejected.
A special to the Baltimore
Sun says that Secretary Schurz
states personally that he con-
siders that he has work to per-
form in his present position, and
that he will remain and d© it,
unless he is removed. Also that
tue President aud Mrs. Hayes
have distinctly intimated to
their friends that no presents
will be received on the occasion
of the approaching celebration
of their silver wedding.
A negro knocked down and
outraged and robbed a sixteen
year old girl, between six and
seven o’clock last evening in the
northern part of the city. The
brute on leaving his prostrate
victim, gave her a parting kick.
Alike outrage occurred in the
same locality a month ago.
Judge Lynch is organizing.
CHANDLER.
He Says He Told the Truth and
Sticks to it.
Louden, December 29.—The
Paris correspondent, of the
Times telegraphs that Manches-
ter Waddington has notified the
foreign governments that the
French government will in the
eveut of a conclave, conform to
the understanding subsisting
among the four Catholic powers,
As regards the internal ecclesi-
astical policy" of Fiance, it will
defend public worship from
those wishing to assail them,
but will protect secular proper-
ty from clerical encroachment.
In regard to the Eastern ques-
tion, Mr. Waddington thinks
France may preserve a purely
expectant attitude, still the bel-
ligerents have opened negotia-
tions, aud when her opinion Is
asked, she will give it with ihe
candor authorized by such an
attitude.
Religious.
New York, December 29.-The
Evening Post publishes the re-
ply of Rev. George S. Seymour,
to the official communication an-
nouncing his election to the
Bishopric of the diocese of
Springfield, Illinois. Rev. Mr.
Seymour says the fact that the
election was unanimous im-
presses me paofoundiy, and I
cannot, I dare not, decline hasti-
ly and without deep searching
of my heart and patient waiting
for Divine guidance and help, to
be derived from the counsel of
friends, who are qualified to ad-
vise. If I am not qualified to
say no at once. 1 do not see any
course lor me to pursue but to
wait until the chyirch at large,
through her constituted author-
ities, has expressed her judg-
ment, in which event I may be
spared the anxiety aud distress
of deciding between the claims
of my present position and the
solemn call extended me, as I
believe, under the guidance of
God and the holy ghost, from all
the clergy and all the laity pres-
ent in primary convention, in
the diocese of Springfield, to be-
come the first Bishop of the new
jurisdiction. If ever the ques-
tion comes really before me to
determine, be assured that I
shall meet it promptly, in the
fear of God, and as beneath his
bar of judgment, I shall do my
best to reach Ihe right conclu-
sion, and immediately apprise
you of the result.
Around Town.

mont, a live man of means, is making

New York, December 29.—A
Boston special says that W. E.
Chandler was in town yester-
day, and talked freely in regard
to his letter. Referring to the
statements that his letter did
not contain proof of the serious
imputation against the Presi-
dent, as to the bargain with the
♦South, by which he stepped into
office, Mr. Chandler said that
he thought he had made a very
plain and direct statement, in
deed, aud he felt no doubt what-
ever that unless answered they
would carry conviction wherev-
er they wfcre candidly consider-
ed. His attention being called
to a published statement that if
he choso to reveal what he knew
concerning the count in Florida,
Mr. Hayes would forfeit his seat,
Mr. Chandler said that state-
ment was entirely without au-
thority. The vote in Florida,
he said, was just as fairly
cast for Hayes as was that of
Massachusetts, only that it was
by a small majority. It was
well known, said he, that he was
a resident in Florida at the
time, and know*s whereof he
speaks. Referring to other sug-
gestions thrown out that he was
kept in a good deal of reserve,
he said : “I do not suppose for
a moment that I have exhaust-
ed all the information I may
have acquired in the course of a
life time in this letter, but 1
have put forward soon as I
thought necessary, the whole
truth in the matter referred to,
at least all that was called for
by the occasion.”
Contemplated Strike.
New York, December 29.—A
special from Shenandoah, Penn-
sylvania, says that it is just as-
certained that a strike among
the engineers on the Delaware,
Lackawanna aud Western rail-
road, and the New Jersey Cen-
tral and Lehigh Valley and
Reading railroads, is inoontem-
pl.ition, and will t robably take
place on the first of January.
The alleged movement is the re-
sult of the recent order issued
by the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western company, to the
effect that they will not retain
in their employ any engineer
after the first of the year who
may belong to the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers.
at once that she could not regard
with indifference any chmg * in
the Mepiterranean, or the agi’a-
tion of small surrounding states
by questions which might be
raised. In connec ion with the
purely Eastern question France
is disinterested.
New York, December 29.—A
London special says that in
English military circles, war is
considered as almost i evitable.
Arrangements are completed
and regiments allotted for an
army of eighty thousand men,
and steps are already taking
toward the formation of a nfields
for a reserve army. Profound
uneasiness prevails here, anil
there is great depression in
trade and finance-

Worth his future home. The Ver-
monters are all pleased with our town
and county, and none are in the least
dissatisfied.
There is a terrible mud hole at the
corner of Main and First streets, which
should receive immediate attention.
Several wagons have already broken
down in it. We would suggest that if
the debris from buildings must be de-
posited in the streets, that it will be
put where it will do the most good.
