Rutland. Yt. , January 21.?Tho citi?
zens of Beunington were startled at 2 30
o'clock, this afternoon, by u terrific ex?
plosion, which was heard for twenty
miles away. It proved to bo the explo?
sion of the gas works ou the premises of
H: E. Bradford & Co.'s knittiug mills.
Tho gas, it seems, had leaked from the
pipes until the air was filled, so that it
took fire from the boiler communicating
with the gas holder. The mill is a one
story brick building. Tho explosion
lifted the roof and burst out the walls of
tho building, so that the roof fell back,
crushing many employees. The fire
spread instantaneously all over the
building, and it was consumed before
the fire could be got under control. It
was a fearful scene. Mauy womeu were
inside the building screaming terribly,
and it was not in the power of auy oue
to help them. Ten are known to be
killed. The remains of some of the un?
fortunate victims were reduced to n
mere handful of charred bones, and
nothing was left to indicate who they
were, except the position in which they
wore found.

Merrimau, of North Carolina, ad?
dressed tho Senate to day. Ho said our
oouutry enjoyed the confidence of its
people more than nuy couutry ou the
face of the earth, yet our currency had
been lets valued than gold by tweuty
per cent. He urged that it was impos?
sible to muke a paper currency equal to
gold. It was idle und criminal for Con?
gress to undertake- to bring greenbacks
up to the standard of gold. Wo must
put ourselves on a level with tbo com?
mercial nations of the earth; and to
do this, we must have a gold and silver
currency, Uutil wo establish a medium
cf exchange based upon gold and silver,
we can never have tbo advantages of
commerce Ho advocated au immediale
resumption of specie payment. The
people of tho United States had lost
twenty por cent, in all thoir ex?
changes from tbo time the greenback
eystom began iu 18(31, till now.
If the greeubrek pystcm continues, de?
preciation will coutiuue; and it is the
duty of Congress to rid the country of
this. He wus surprised that not a single
definite plun by which we could get
back to specie payment had been pro?
posed. The 4th of July, 1876, would
bo the centennial of our independence,
and ho trusted that glorious events
would transpire on that duy. Let one
of them be a return to speoie payment.
Let the gold accumulate in tbo treasury
over and above the amount necessary to
pay interest on the public debt. If tbut
would not be sufiioiont, put a five per
cent, bond on the market, which would
bring gold at par, aud on tbo 1th day of
July, 1870, lot every dollar of green?
backs bo redeemed in coin. Iu the
meantime, let tbo volume of currency
bo increased. He computed our present
circulation at -3700,000,000, which was
not cnongb, by at loast ?100,000,000.
Tbo panio was not over anywhoro in the
country. New York and Now England
were credit States, aud had debts duo
them from all sections of tbo country.
Mouey could bo obtained in Now York;
there was plouty of it there; but to
obtain it collateral security equal to the
money itself must be put up. He
spoke of tho unequal distribnliou'of the
currency, and the pressing needs of tbo
South ou uccount thereof.
Sberman said tbe Controller of the
Oarrenoy had authority now to with?
draw ?25,1)00,000 from New England
and give it to the Sonth and West, or
States which hove nut their proper pro
portion.
Edmuuds?How long would it stay
there?
Sherman?That is another question.
Merriman said, in reply to tho Sena?
tor from Vermont, (Edmund?,) that if
the money was down there, it would go
bnck very slowly, if the bauks of New
York and New England did not
oiler interest for it. As these States
pay interest, the money goes there.
He deemed that the currency was re
dundunt ai compared with the circula?
tion of Franco and England. Those
countries were densely populated, aud
the exchange was small. Auother hun?
dred million dollars put iu circulation
would revive the business of the couu
try. Our greenback system, which
might be termed bloated, had many
debts contracted under it. Tbo argu?
ments were, that these debts should
be liquidated iu greenbacks. Now
it is proposed to contract the cur?
rency, which would compel their pay?
ment iu a more precious medium thuu
the one under which they wero created.
He would postpone tho time for specie
resumption till July -4, 187G, ou account
of the business of tho country being
based on this bloated correucy; but by
putting it off till that time, tho people,
seeiug a monetary system devised by
Congress, would regulate busiuess to
that end, so that it would adjust
itself to tho now system of currency.
He was opposed to the uatiouul baukiug
system, and thought it a vast monopoly,
founded wholly upon credit, aud essen?
tially a credit currency, and, therefore,
twenty per cent, less valuable than gold.
In the next pluoo, every dollar of the
capital stock was iu the United States
treasury, aud the bauks receive live per
cent, from the Government on bonds
deposited in the treasury. Ho next
spuke of the rates of iuterest, and said
he put it to the Senate?he put it to the
world?to answer, if industry could pros
per und pay such percentage for money,
lie maintained that tho volume of cur?
rency could not bo fixed by law; it
could not bo controlled by politicians
aud statesmen; und Congross should
uot, therefore, undertake to regulate it.
The merchants and business men of the
nation would fix it. The bauks should
belong to the peoplo, and not to the
Government. He would like to see
Congress grant a charter for a great na?
tional bank. Lot the shares be at $25
each, so the whole peoplo could have
stock in it. Let the capital stock bo
8100,000,000, and the directors be in
every State. Iu time of war, suoh a
bank would come to tbe relief of tho
Government, und be of essential benefit.
Sectional interests had once come near
destroying tho Government, and unless
Congress docs something to produce an
equilibrium iu industries, more trou?
ble would bo the result.
Edmunds inquired if the geutlcman
believed Congress could produce this
equilibrium. Could it say how many
factories there should be, where located,
&c?
Merriman said Congress could im?
prove the harbors und rivers of tho
West, open up the natural advantages,
encouruge nhip building, und thousands
of other things could be douo to pro
dueo such equilibrium; but not while wo
go on with this sectional legislation?
California with one iuterest, New Eng?
land with another, and the South with
another. When they como iu cuutact,
it will result in the clash of arms. They
did it once, und would do it uguin.
Edmuuds said ho did not rise for tho
purpose of continuing this debut*', but
he thought the natural tendency ol mo?
ney was to tho pockets of those having
the right to it. Ho know of no contriv?
ance by which Cougress could keep
money in any station, unless the circum?
stances of tho peoplo in such ucotiou
should entitle them to keep the money.
Every citizen has the right to put his
money where ho thinks he can make the
most out of it. Congress, nor any
other power, could interfere with this
right of tho people. Money is always
flowing where it has the. right to rest.
Gr?nling that 850,000,01)0 moro bo
giveu to the Sonth and West, it would
go to tho pockets of those eu titled to it.
lie did not believe there was a dollar
moro iu Vermont now than there would
be if every bank in tho Statu was re?
moved to Louisiana. Every man enti?
tled to money would liavo it in his
pocket, and no contrivance or legisla?
tion could forco money to remain iu the
West or South, until, by industry and
ocouoaiy, tho peoplo would entitle them?
selves to become tho owners of it. New
England could not koep monoy which
she owed to tho West. She mutt send
it where it belongs; aud tho samo if sho
owed tho South. If tho South owes
New England, tho monoy must come
there. To provide, therefore, by law,
any policy which would compel tho cir?
culating medium to remain in onu sec?
tion rather than another, was an impossi?
bility.
Merriman said tho Senator from Ver?
mont (Edmund-) went upon the princi?
ple that the commercial interests of tho
country were in a normal condition.
There wero circumstances which have
foroed tho monoy from the West and
South. The South produced $330,000,
000 worth of cotton annually, und the
money to nay for it should bu nt tho
South. What, iu tho natural course of
things, took it away? Thero was some?
thing wrong Homewhore; eoino false
basis. If tho people of the South had
tho capital, they would build up cities
aud towus, construct railroads, open
mines, and Wall street, instead of being
iu New York, would bo in Charleston,
Savannah or Now Orleans. Our indus?
trial nffairs aro not iu their normal
state.
Elmuuds said the Senator spoke of
the people of tho South having c.tpacily
to develop resources, if they had the
capital. How were they to get that
capital?
Merrimau?We wish your people to
oomo there.
Edmonds?Well, Mr. President, "to
that I say amen. Bat how are they to
go there? Will they fiud equal justice
in the courts? Will they find honest
labor respected? If tho South desires
capital, she must show calm and de?
liberate justice for all admiuistered iu
every State, so that life aud property
will be as Bafe as in New England.
Then tho capital of New England will
go there, and tire resources of the
country will bo developed; but not until
then will tho people invest their haid
earnings under uncertainties. Let the
South do nil ehe can to promote equal
justice; have peace aud order every?
where; then Northern capital would go
there.
Merrimau Raid ha hope d they would
cease to bear that a man's lifo was not
safe iu the South. The war is over, and
those statements should be of the past.
Ho would assure tho gentlemuu that
anybody from New England or Califor?
nia was j .tat as safe iu his Slate, (North
Carolina,) or anywhere iu the South, as
if ho were in Vermont or anywhere in
New Euglaud. Tako tho statistics of
crime, aud tho "ratio of crime aud out?
rage were in favor of the South two to
one.
Edmunds said he had been told, ou
good authority, that a man who went to
tho city of Nowberu, iu tbo geutlemau's
owu State, fiDd established business, wus
eutiruly iguored. Ho had comnfitted
no crime, yet no one noticed him; aud
the only reitsou for such treatment was
that ho was u Yankee. New England
men had been taught to believe iu the
honesty of labor. He did not make this
statement as a reproach to North Caro?
lina, pr to his friend from that State;
but he would sty that, until it became
respectable for a mau from New Eug?
laud to engage in commercial pursuits
in North Carolina, just so long would
the South wither aud cry for more
money, which she cannot get.
Merrimau said, in tho ca.se in New?
born referred to by the gentleman, thero
wore some circumstances connected with
the nun which deprived him ol that so?
ciety he Fought to enter. A few days
ago, tho Treasurer of the United States
stopped at Charlotte. A gruud roea-p
tion was tendered him, uud so well was
ho pleased, that he rcmuiued thero seve?
ral days. Tho statements whispered iu
tho ears of his honored frieud (E I
munds) were not true. llespcctuble
people were welcome iu tho South, uo
matter whore from. With a mau seek?
ing, society in the South, it was just the
sama seeking it in New Euglaud. If he
was worthy, he could go iuto society.
Elmuuds said ho was glad to know
theie statements iu regard to ill-treat?
ment of people in tho South were uot
true now; but, until recently, they were
true. As a rule, uo officer of the United
St des army sent to any port or statiou
was received iuto society. Ho (Ed?
munds) had visited the South, aud hud
beeu told that thu ouly people who asso?
ciated with army officers wero those,
termed scalawags by*those of their own
section.
Morrimau?Will my friend allow me
to state that I kuow that is not true in
my own State?
Edmunds said ho was glad to hear
that times had ohauged since be wob in
the South iu 1367. He had received
his information from army oflieers, aud
he hail high respect for them, as they
had beeu taught to tell the truth as well
as to work it out sometimes, with their
owu good swords E Imunds, then, ut
3.15, moved that the Seu ito proceed to
the consideration of executive business,
which motion prevailed.
The House wus engaged to day ou the
centennial celebration.
Pinchback did uot sueoeod iu getting
au interview with tho President, who
wus talking witb Oreswell.
Qov. Warmoth asserts that Carpenter
and Butler havo agreed ou a new elec?
tion bill, which will bo introduced m
both Houses ou Monday; and that alter
a caucus of the Democrats in the House,
he did not tiud uiiu who would uot vote
for the bill, and feels conlideut that it
will puss to thu House next week.
Pinchback believes that treachery is
tho oiuso of his defeat, and is hard at
work for a new election.

rested on tho charge of robbing the

Funeral op Victor IIcoo's Son.?
Paris has rarely witnessed a sight so
striking in all its features as the recent
funeral ol Victor lingo's c-hlost son.
Besides being a Writer of rare skill ami
power, Francois Victor Hugo was as
liery u R publican as his father. For
twen'y year.-', he made himself au exile
i from France, and when he came back to
Paris, he preached Republicanism by
peu and tongue with much enthusiasm.
On the day of the funeral, au extraor?
dinary mass of people crowded the
Boulevard des Italien), the great square
of the Chaleun d'Eti, the Boulevard tie
Prince Eugene, the Place Voltaire, the
Rue do la R iquette, and tho rest
of tho historic route which leads from
tho poet's house to tho burying
ground of Pere-la-Ch iit-o. Thousands
of workmen followed Iho oollin, each
carrying a little bunch of red
immortelles at his button-hole to
denote the shade of his political
creed and his mourning fur the dead.
Most ol the Republican Deputies also
went with tho procession, and every
eye was fixed ou Victor Hugo hiinsell
as tho old man walked behind tho body
of bis son, with his massive head beul
iu giief, und his gray hair uncovered.
So vast was the crowd by the time tho
coffin reached Pete la Chaise that ii
tilled a large part of that great ceme?
tery. M. Louis Blanc had been chosen
to deliver the oration over (hu gravi*,
and, nt tho wish of the poet himself,
the eloquent Republican made a proclu
uiation of tho religious faith iu whicll
tho son had died. Like his lather, In
believed in a Maker of the universe aud
iu a life to come. After tho Republican
f dth had been declared, tho vaat crowd
quietly singed batrk to Paris. Thou
was no disorder, or eveji the slightest
attempt to create disturbance.

The first part of the entertainment <
