AREVISION OF THE TARIFF.

Mr.. Woodbury., not the happiest man in
the world for condensing his thoughts, has
submitted to the Senate plan for revision
of the Thrift, which is printed by order of
Congress. Mr.. Woodbury. lays down as a
starting point, that the Compromise Bill in
its essential provisions, must be adhered to.
He considers it aquasi contract, and reasons
at length, what must not be done under it,
|, being, however, chiefly of importance to
understand what the Secretary's plan is, we
pass over all that to come to his suggestions,
adding on his deductions from the principles
involved in the COMPROMISE, ris -
"That the present tariff laws should be as
little disturbed by any revision as possible,
consistent with the public wants, and an adj
herencc to sound principles; that changes
should be made chiefly, ifnot solely, for the
purposes of revenue; that these changes,
when raising the duty, when operating before
or after July ~, should as general rule
be confined to articles not paying duty as
high a. twenty per cent; that except in ex-

LAKE MEMPHREMAGOG.

The sun has sunk behind the mountain range
That skirts the placid waters of the lake,
Its golden beams have Stunned the CLASSY face
Of beauteous Memphromagog, but they still
Brighten the submits of the lofty peaks
That stand majestic, frowning Der the deep
Still element that laves their Swallowed base.
The rich and varied forest lies in shade
Upon the mountains slope, and the fair Lake
Sleeps in outrageous waste beneath the hills.
The watery plain is checkered here and there
BY bright streak of silvery hue but these
Are evanescent, and like meteors move
In softness Ter the expanse of waters. I.ulled
BY the soft spell Of pensive twilight all
Is hushed and Nature sleeps, on lake and land,
Profoundly silent; save where the echo
In the distant hills, responds with magic
To the Woodlands axe-the only note
That speaks Of man upon these distant shores.
Paid, but beautiful, on high, the moon
The slender crescent of a recent birth
Floats in the azure of the vaul,ed sky;
The purpling west now brightens into gold,
And now its hue to brighter crimson turns;
And all seems magic-Mountain, Lake and Sky
Silly scene. unutterably fair
Touched by the mastcr-h hand Of Natures God,
The painter and the architect Of all

ELECTION OF MR.. RIvES.

After two years struggle in the Ancient
Dominion, the Legislature has at length
succeeded in choosing Senator of the Uni
ted States,--the place having been vacant
ever since the expiration Of Mr.. Rves' term
in March, 1888. The difficulty in the case
has arisen, in the two legislatures preceding
the present, from the obstinacy of few inn
practicable Wings, who were adverse, under
any circumstances, to the election of Mr..
Rives. Hence the state has been for nearly
two years only half represented in the ma
tional Senate. In each Of the three lcgisla-
lures, (incuding the prcsenO there has been
small Wing and Conservative majority
The Conservatives, believing that Mr.. Rives
was entitled to a recollection, would listen to
the name of no other candidate; and such
has been the patriotic course of Mr.. RIves
since he separated from the Administration,
that large majority Of the Wing members
were decidedly in his favor. But there were
yet impracticable Wings enough to prevent
an election. At the opening Of the present
session, fresh difficulty was started, which
has deferred the election for nearly two
months. The Wings have ma lority in the
Legislature; but inasmuch as the state had
been carried for Van Buren,, chiefly by the
manufacture Of "a few hundred spurious votes
in Shenandoah and some other large interior
counties, 1t has been held that the legislature
was bound to return Van Buren, Senator
And every effort that Van Buren, ingenuity
could devise, and every obstacle that the
most logged obstinacy could cast in the way
have been resorted to, for the purpose of dc.
feating the candidate of the people. But tho
battle has been fought, and the victory won
Mr.. Rives was elected on the 18th inst b,
a majority of six votes.
Mr.. Rvcs it will be rccolccted, belonged
