Vcrmonters In Congress. The New York Tribune mentions Vermont as affording the Democracy another chance for "a cry against unequal representation." Not satisfied with two Senators and three members cf the Souse, all Eepublicans, she has managed to get into Congress no less than fourteen of her sons —two extra in the Senate, and seven extra in tbe House, and among the latter is Thad. Stevens, the terrible old man, whose name is used to frighten noisy Democratic babies. Only think of it: fourteen Green Mountain Yankees in Congresss! It is not to be endured.

The Martyr's Last Name. Among the "pet names" applied to Yallandigham is that of the "Bottle Imp.'' Those who remember the old play from which the name is derived wil! see its peculiar fitness. There is a supernatural plot in which the possessor of a certain mysterious battle is tormented by an imp, which twues forth from it at the dread hour of midnight. The unhappy owner of this unpleasant curiosity can not get rid of it If he throws the bottle out of the window, in a moment, presto, it is back again on the shelf. He can not sell or give it away. Finally, if our indistinct remembrance of the plot does not deceive

the wretched man is only saved from self-destruction by the prayers of his sister. Mr. VallaBdigham is the bottle imp of tho Democratic party, which is continually trying to get rid of him, without any success.

Discouraging to Seward We find, in an exchange, a statement having the authority of the learned Professor DELIBSBR, of Kingston, Jamaica, which is crtlculated to have a very "demoralizing'' effcct upon our national real eEtate broker. According to the Pro feasor, earthquakes will break out near the equator, with redoubled violence,about March 20, 1868. The "configuration" of the planets is said to produce extraordinary terrestrial commotions, not through astrological influences, but through the force of gravitation. The year 1868, according to DKLIBSEB'B predictions, will be famous for trememdous storms, inundations and earthquakes. Now, as to the particular period of the vernal equinox. Within a few days after the commencement of Spring, Mercury, Man, Jupiter and the Moon will be to conjunction on March 22, and the Sun will be in •conjunction with the Mooo on March 24, heavy weather maj' consequently be expected. To the inhabitants of the i*lands this theory is sufficiently alarming, for a cursory inspection of the hieroglyphics in the almanac show that tempests may be expected about every other day in the year. To most readers, the interpretation of these signs is a hopeless task, but when an unusual collocation of darts, books, altars and scepters appear at any given date, the effect upon the mind must beroafter be terrific. Mr. SEWARD should postpone his treaties until tho recurrence of some year when the "configurations" are less numerous.

McArdlc Case.

Although the opinion of the Supremo Court, on dismissing the bill filed to test th9 constitutionality of the Reconstruction act-, decides that an injury to person or property mu3t be actually perpetrated before redross can bo obtained, yet it does not seem likely that the MCARDLE habeas corpus case can be brought within the principles laid down. Mississippi rose in insurrection, and peaco has not yet been restored. The State is held under inili. tary power, and an offense as gross as that commited by MCARDLE can certainly bo punished by a military commission No officer who desires to maintain order would ailow tho publication of an article headed the "Scoundrelism of Satraps/' and calling several generals by name eewardly and abandoned villains, deserving to have their heads shaved, ears cropped, foreheads branded, and their precious persons lodged in a penitentiary. ASORD, the commander, was mentioned by name, he could not do otherwise than order tho arro.'t of MCABDLE. The absurdity of permitting those unrepentaut Btibels to rave, recite and wander around tho land is sufficiently apparent, and no argument is necessary to support Genera ORDTS

courso.

Rollins and Johnson.

The New York Tribune thinks "the testimony of Mr, Rollins, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, before the Judiciary Committee, and his letters to the Secretary of the Treasury, place the responsibility for the present inefficiency of the rovonue system clearly upon the President."

When plans for the relief of the national finar.tca are under debate, it will be well to recur to those document# for a few valuable hi^ts. The removals and ap. poinunents in the Internal Revenue ser vice during the year 1866 were made by tho President alone, without consultation with tho Commissioner and indeed Mr. Rollins soon ceased to make any recommendations to office, knowing that they won Id not be regarded. He believed that the changes made by Mr. Johnson bad cost the country many millions of dollars. Many of the most competent and vigilant officers were removed for purely political re«s-.ine, and corrupt or inexperienced men appointed in their places, and "at a rule, in those States where removals were largely made, the b«st men were removed." On the other hand, officials whose removal Mr. Rollins had for good reasons requested, end against whom he had filed formal charges, are still retained. In view of the damaging character of his testimony, it i? not at all surprising that the Commissioner himself should have been turned out.

Organization of the Grant Club.

Speeches by col* W. & McLean, P-1 C'Bciriy and H«n. 0%1m & ttaiif-

A.greeably to previous notice, a numerously attended and enthusiast meeting of citizens of Tfirre Haute and vicinity) favorable to the election of General U. S. Grant to the Presidency, was held at the new Court House on Saturday evening. "W". Lambert called the meeting too der, and on his motion, Col. W. McLean was called to the chair. G. W. Lambert was elected Secretary.

On motion of J'. O. Jones the Chair appointed Mesrs. Jones, Haney, Grain, Meredith and Coddington as a Committee to prepare and present a plan of permanent organization. During the absence of the Committee Col. McLean responded to a general call for a speech tu the following impromptu Remarks which were received with great satisfaction, eliciting frequent and hdarty applause.

After some introductory comments upon the propriety of the organization of a "Grant Club" in this city, Co!.' McLean remarked in substance that the nomination of General Grant by the Convention to assemble at Chicago, in May next, he regarded as a foregone conclusion. The loyal masses of the country have, with singular unanimity, designated him aa their standard bearer in the approaching canvass. It will be$„ numiB&ticn eminently fit and proper to be made. General Grant needed no eulogy from him or any one else. Wherevet in the war for the Union, history has written the triumphs and the gWy of our arms, there can bc seen the controlling genius of Grant and he who would speak of Grant's deeds, must speak of tho deeds of the armies of the United States. From the campaign which resulted in the capture of Yicksburgh to that historic place whre he took the sword from the rebel loader, he flashed like a meteor through tho bky, and as the meteor lights up the firmament, so did Grant light up, with glorious succaii, our national firmament, so long clouded with uncertainty and the gloom of disaster. Tiue, we hear profound war critics, many of whom nev^r heard the sound of a hostile gun, or saw a camp lire in their lives, charge, that upon one or two occasions, Grant blundered, but the man who made no mistakes, to use the language of the greatest of French military writers, never made war. Grant sprang from and belongs to the ranks of the people. He owes nothing to the pride of his birth, or illustrious descent for he Was the son of a podr tanner and was himaelf raised to that trade. He has achioved the greatness and distinction for which the world now honors him, by the force of his own genius and indomitable will. Tho young men of our country can especially contemplate, with pride and prolit to themselves, tli« life and career of General Grant for ho (s to day, the best living illustratiou of that glorious feature of American institutions, that however humble ones lot may be, however much may poverty oppress him, there it no position of honor to which he may not aspire, remembering that our country like tbe generous mother opens her arms to welcome and to cherish every one of her children whose genius or whose worth may promote b»jr prosperity or add glory to her name: When we contemplate his past gloiioiis career, his sterling integrity and that rare good sense which marks his every Clion when we consider his executive ability, HO prominently exhibited during his recent connection with that "Menagerie of lining wild beasts of prey and Mustum of living curiosities," known -as "Johnsons Cabinet," in the economiaal administration of the War Department—cutting off all superfluous expenditures and instituting an economy hitherto unknown and unpracticed in any departments oftho Government, when we look at his loyalty, devotion to tho country, and his well tried patriotism, we can rest assured that in the future, as in the past, as President of the United States, he will continue to "fight it out on that line." He is emphatically tho man for tho times. Standing high and aloof, as he does, above all party,5and more party ties, he is the man designated by the finger of Providence, as well as the voice of a grateful people to reconstruct the fabric of our nationality, to strengthen and reuknit the living tie3 that should bind us together as one people, one in peace and one in war, in sunshine and in storm, now and forever, one and indissoluble. Under his Administration of tho affairs of tho Government, I fondly believe, our people will enter a new career of prosperity und peaco, unoxamplod in tho history of nations, our country will prosper and oxpand upon the basis of Liberty, human rights and equal justice to all until.nothing but tho oonftnes of our continent shall arrest the onward march of American civilization.

Wearejust upon tbe evo of another mo?t momentous and exciting Presidential election, a contest in which the free institutions of thh country aro to be tried as thoy have probably never been tried before. Wo should be up and doing, preparing ourBelves to do our duty in tho coming crisis, with a full understanding of all tho various question? before us and a fixed and solemn purpose to rally around the standard of our country with whatever party that standard tnay be found. There is\?«rtain1y nothing in the present position and attitude bef«ro the country of tho Democratic calculated to appeal to our regard, or to make us for.

f'o-day,

et its treasonable record durmg the war. and ever einee the elope of the war, that party instead tf assisting in the great work of Reconstruction, instead of assisting to rouniW the shattered frag-1 ments of broken and dismembered confederacy, and to put the great cupola of true Democracy upon the glorious edifice of a rocc'iftjucic-d Union, that patty, byits orators and by its press, have been urgingjon tbe South to obstinacy and disobedience of the laws of"the !and and tho constituted authorities of the Government. Their leaders aro peace men, when the country is at war, and menacing agitators and disturbers of the public quiet when tho country seeks to reestablish peace.

The truckling spirit displayed by those game leaders and subservient compliance with the haughty demands of the Soutt, brought on 6£«ee«idn and v. ar. They prolonged the war by encouraging resistance, and proclaiming the "war a failure," and they are now endeavoring, for partisan purposes, to prolong the present state of uncertainty and transition, by counseling against submission. Tiej keep tbe wounds of war from heaiing by sowing the seeds of discord, and filtering ill will between the two. sections of the country. Instead of alkyisg, thoy cultivate sectional prejudices, and keep tham alive, continuing to preach hatred of race. To the Northern Democratic party the South is indebted for the miitary government to-day existing and exercised in ten of her States, that party having created the necessity for such government.

The men that favored a dissolution of the Union, and who during our struggle sympathised with tho enemy, aro still leading men o#that party, the Vailandighams, the Pendfotuns and men of

Democratic Rebellion" we have accuulated a gigaptip debt, and they:-are ijoW soifcibg thHteeds of repudiation and national dishonesty which would disgrace us in the eyes of the civilized world, attempting to undermine that faith which is the most precious treasure of nations. The speaker closed with a strong appeal to stand by the Union organization as tho only hope of the couniry.

At the conclusion of Col. McLean's address,Mr, P. B.O'Reilly was called out and responded in avery happy and oloquent *"in. Our limited space precludes a detailed report and we can only sketch the most interesting points. Alluding to the remark of the previous speaker that there were many who felt that the country was approaching a crisis and wero apprehensive that the government in its present form, might not survive the ordeal, he expressed his firm belief in the perpetuity of the government. Though the land might be filled with the croakings of those who had no faith in American institutions, their gloomy forebodings could not affect his faith in the sublime and glorious future of our country. Let no one tell him that tho "Flag of the Free" would ever trail in tbe dust. The events of our recent national history had convinced his mind that all the powers of the world combined, could not prevail against it. It had been from t'ie first and would be to the end of time, the symbol of liberty to all, the star of hope on which the oppressed of every land fixed their longing and admiring gaze. This government must endure, for it was the only signal illustration. of free gsverament among all the nations of the earth. It had been in favor of Universal liberty, in favor of Irish liberty, and was the only country which had any real, heartfelt sympathy with his oppressed country. In the character of General Grant he saw a happy combination of all those traits, or qualities, calculated to inspire respect and confidence nt home and abroad. People complained of his silence, his apparent coolness. That he could be eileat as to the use of words, but speak with grand and decisive effect, and always in the interest of liberty and justice, in bis act?, was the quality of that great mind, that sublime genius, which commended his most profound respect .Any fool could talk, but only once in an age did the world behold a man who could speak to his cotemporaries and to succeeding generations by such a series of acts as had marked tho history of Geneial Grant, and which had earned for him the love of the American people and the admiration of the people of all nations.

At the conclusion of Mr. O'Reilley's remarks the Committeo on plan of organic zatlon presented a report which was unanimously adopted, and will be here after published.

On motion of James O'Mara, a recess of 15 minutes was taken to allow an op portunity for those present to sign the Constitution.

Between 60 and 100 names were subscribed when the time expired, and the Chair called tho meeting to order, and Hon. John G. Crain wag pressed into the service as the next speaker. Mr. Crain briefly sketched the great servicre which General Grant had rendered the country and dwelt, with telling effect, upon the fact, cloarly demonstrated by the groat Chieftain in all tho varied positions which ho had been called to fill, that he was a man who had genuine faith in populargovernment. Lincoln had achieved the groat success which had crowned his administration of public affairs by not attempting to outstrip the people, but by timing his march with the advance of public opinion. Johnson had acquired the hatred of the people by the assumps tion of dictatorial powers and by always disregarding the popular will, while hypoi critically prating about "the pooplo."--Grant, like Lincoln, understood the true character of this Government, and knew that it could be successfully administered only by a readiness on the part of those in authority to consult and reason with the people, the source of power.

Mr. Crain excoriated the Democracy upon their shallow attempt to draw public attontion from the real issues of the campaign, to silence criticism of their anti-war record, by tho new cry of "greenbacks!." He showed the record of the party as always opposed to any other than a "hard currency showed their responsibility for McCulloch's contraction by citing the vote in Congress upon that question, and made a grand point by re /erring to the action of the last Legislature on his resolution to instruct our Senatois ai:d request our representatives in Congress to use their influence to secure tbe passage of a law requiring the inter-est-bearing portion of the public debt to be first redeemod- Thi6 policy would have left the greenbacks in circulation, but the Democracy in our Legislature went solid against it in both branches, except one member of the House.

Loading Democrats of this State, during tbe war, had explained to him their failure to support the Government^by declaring that the South would be sure to triumph, and if they opposedjthe South they would be in a bad predicament when the North was whipped, the Government crushed.

We have not space for a more extended sketch of Jtfx. Crain's remarks, which were listened to with much interest and frequently applauded

On the finances he was peculiarly clear and forcible, and wo haTe no doubt he will do good service during the campaign by exposing the shameless hypocrisy of the new-born Democratic love for paper

money. At the conclusion of Mr, Crain's remarks, a discussion arose as to the place of holding tbe meetings of the Club, and on motion of F. M. Meredith, tho Chair appointed Messrs. Meredith, Shepherd, TVhitaker, Scott and Insley a committee to select a permanent place cf meeting. Some further unimportant business was transacted, an3 the Club adjournal to Meet at the new Court House next Saturday evening.

THE New York Evening Post bat dis» covered that new issues of Government bonds of tbe series of 1864, are appearing in market, leading to the belief that Mr. McCulloch is again resorting to the secret issue of government securities through some broker.
