The Legislature.

The Legislature, which, after the longest SEES
sion ever held in Vermont, adjourned last week
though composed, TO an unusual extent OF ne"
members, We, exhibited no small amount ana va
rety of talent, and especially speaking talent
which was one of the causes, doubtless OF The
length Of the session.
The leading debaters among tha Wing mem
bers were, Mr Grandey, with his gadlator'al
graces Mr.. Walton, with his statistics, Mr..
Washburn, with his legal lore, together with
Messrs. Miner Davis Adams of Milton, Deane,
HAYDEN, Bancroft, Joseyn, Walker, Gray
Smith of Barre, and Spencer.
Among the National Democrats, the leading
debaters were Mr.. Rice Of Somerset, whose
candor, good sense and great experience having
had thirteen or fourteen elections, made him one
Of the most valuable members of the House 4;
Mr.. Palmer, the Young and talented member
from Burlington, Messrs. Bingham, Plympton,
Harvey, Burroughs, Chase, Soue, Partridge and
others.
For the Free Democrats, however, we think
we can honestly claim. for their numbers, the
best display of debuting talent. Messrs Shafter,
Barber, i'd, Needham, Mclean and Hotchkiss
with their different order OF capacity and genius
were full match for any thing in the House on
any'q question which might arise; while Messrs
Smith of Wlliston Smith of Monkton, Nichols
Bliss, Bradford and Judevlne, though lesa
lengthy speechi6ers, appeared, nevertheless,
to good advantage as practical Legislators, and
took rank among the prominent actors OF the ses-
sion. Nor should we, by any means, forget to

Spirit of the Press.

Tee Transcript gives an extract OF let
Ter from Cardenas, which speaks Of the
ravages of the cholera on the sugar estates
in Cuba, and says the loss of slaves by
death has raised the price of labor, so that
S25 month is now charged for slave who
is hired TO aid he regular hands on those
estates. The writer adds:
"The owners stipulate that their let
slaves shall work only upon every other
night, instead of every night as is usual 10
healthy times, and The SUN of thirty ounc-
es (about 5000 is forfeited if the slave
dies while let out. Offers of 1923 month
have been refused in this vicinity. The
want of hands can not long be endured
here, as no sugar estates can stand two
ears and pay such enormous rates"
As the business operations of those su-
gar estates have never included an honest
calculation of what is due to the laborer,
they have no provision for such an ex,gency
as "a rise in the price of labor" They are
based on the principle that 1.-THE weak must
obey and serve the strong'-the pirates
principle, egalized and made"respectabIe. "
This statement will do something towards
explaining Jamaica distress, land showing
why England may be DESTROYS to relieve
free labor in Jamaica from the competition

of Cuba The doctrine that men must be
driven to work without wages, and driven
