dollars, surplus revenue in the Treasury Of

not be due for years to come The question
arises then. what is to be cone with it \
reduction of the revenue duties is proposed,
but that will only apply to the future accu-

millions will still remain on hand. Shall it

Treasury suggested recently the application
of this surplus to the construction Of the Pa

That plan meets with strong opposition from

said to have been abandoned by the Admins
tration. Some ,thcr disposal then, must y,

had .sbottok. be carried out We believe that
n large majority of the members will be Of
that opinion. We believe too that u choice
of Governor ought to be made at an early
day in the Session, and probably will be.
That is an orderly way of proceeding, and
the General Assembly Of Vermont is as little
disposed to resort to lodges and tricks in
its action as any Legislative body in the
country. If the election of these two officers
was to be effected by plurality vote, the
course of proceeding would be plain enough.
For each office the Wings and the Democrats
would propose scvcralIy their own men, and
cach. division would seek additional strength
where it could find it among those who please
to call themselves by some other name. But
the choice is to he made by II majority, which
is Il very different affair. No one political
division can sweep the field for its own benefit.
To be sure we have seen it intimatcd that
the party which is the smallest of the three.
might very fairly have the State officers and
modest an intimati)n is made we do not clear
~ see. 1t seems to be IA ease of what might
be called " The rule of three WrcrSr.' as We
used to see it put down in the school books
mt least it has one characteristic, that OF
- less requiring nlorc.' As that rule is moi
generally admitted in the political arrange
mcnts of this country where so many ar,
allowed to vote, we suspect that view of tn,
matter will not prevail at Montpelier.
Ttco parties at least are to be suited, if no
as well as they would wish, at least as far Il
may be under the plain practical view of tn
ease, as it really is. Each must yield some
thing or get nothing and in all likelihood
the wishes Of all three parties will have to b
favored to some extent.
For those who enjoy such state of thing
there will be lots Of fun. before the lcgislativ
train gets fairly under way, and as niue
more to come after.
