RIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 5
SURVEY OF THE STATE,

At the October session Of the legislature
Of this state 1886, in pursuance of a reso
luton introduced by one of the Senators
from the county of Bennington, the Gov
ernor was requested to take measures to
ascertain the expense OF a geological and
Typographical survey of this state. His
excelency, in pursuance of this request,
addressed letters TO several scientific gen.
llemen and received answers which were
submitted to the legislature at their last
session, and ordered to be printed, for the
information Of the people. Prof. Benedict,
Of the University of Vermont, entered into
the subject extensively, and made very
elaborate report to the Governor, in which
an estimate is made of the cost of the
Survey. We to day publish Prof. Bene,
diets letter, and recommend it to the atten
ton of our readers. Other States around
us, some of them long since, have caused
survey of their territory, and the result
in some cases has developed rich treasures
in the bowels of The earth, before unknown
to man.
Burlington free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1827-1865, 1838-10-05

decide to proceed with the typographical,
and neglect the geological survey, the mos,
convenient distribution would be probably
in this wise five thousand dollars for the
first year, four thousand FIVE hundred for
the second, and three thousand for the
third year. Should it be determined to
proceed with them both at once, it would
doubtless be thought best TO carry the geo.
logical survey through four years instead
of two only. Ia that case, n convenient
distribution Of the funds would be, eight
thousand dollars for the first year, seven
thousand for The second, six thousand for
the third, and from three to four thousand
in the fourth year. 10 any way Of arrang.
ing the business, annual statements should
be made by those employed, Of the progress
made in their respective duties, though q
complete report could not be expected, in
either case, till the work should be finished
All which is respectfully submitted.

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.

AS the Legislature is about to assemble
we hope the people will not fail 10 remind
their representatives oftheir pledges-ex.
press or impied-on the subject Of impris-
onment for debt. The time has come
public sentiment, right reason, justice, all
demand that this foul enactment be erased
from the statute book and we cannot but
hope that the very few who have doubts as
to the policy of the measure, will refrain
from any further attempt to embarrass or
delay it. Let The first days journal bear
witness to bill Of one section, simply abol-
shing imprisonment but let there be no
provso to it, no provision for the collect, ion
of debts, the punishment of frauds, &C.
II found necessary at all, let this be the
subject of separate enactment. This is
the ground the true friends of the measure
ought to take, and consent to no comprom
Use. A bill containing six lines. is amply
sufficient. For one, we insist upon the
measure; and our advice TO those who NAV
vote against it would be, never TO think OF
returning to their constituen,s-for they
will have none.

Many states of the union are turning

ready incurred considerable expense in ma
king and publishing geological examlna-

manifest advantage from making their
own citizens acquainted with the treasures
beneath the surface of their SOIL, and from
furnishing inducements for others to oin in
