The Council of Censors.

The Btaifieboro' Eagle suegests work for
the Council, by way of amendments to the
Constitution-sucha as biennial sessions of
the legislature, an apporionment of members
according to population and reducing
the lumber, and the abolition of the
Council of Censors. The first is new prop.
osition the remainder have frequently been
urged, in vain. The 81. Adams Messenger
opposes biennial sessions and any change of
representation-,he first. because either the
biennial sessions would be protracted, or las
in New Hsnpshire) extra sessions would be
required. There is another objection; the
terms of Office for State officers, senators,
representatives.. judges, justices OF the peace,
sheriffs, &C., will all hsye to be extended 10
two years, or else the mode of verifying and
declaring cleo ions and filling vacancies will
have to be changed. The Messenger fayors
an extension of the term Of office, however,
while opposing biennial sessions. With
good officers, longer term would be con
yenient, economical and Desirable but fol
bad ones, single year is quite sufficient
Now as it is quite possible to retain good
men in office, by reelection, and quite i'm
possible to get bad men out before thei
term expires, we are inclined to the old Yer
mont fashion Of short terms and annual cleo
tions. Yhe same remark is applicable Il
laws.

Orleans County Grammar School Fund.
We assure the Repository that, according
to our information. the facts in this case
trere fully and fairly stated to the Senate,
including the trhoie amount of the fund, and
the amount each school would receive on a
redistribution. Tine Repository seems anx-
io,is to know whether we have any objection
to the bill. Perhaps the shortest answer we
can give is, that we voted for it last year,
and vet we must say that the question was
no, free from difficulty. 1t was hard to take
from the Bloomington school what It appenr-
ed really to need; aud it would not do to
push the system of division too far, for thus
ultimately the whole fund would be frit-
tered away, without doing good to any body.
Our opinion was to divide so long as 500
per annum could be given to each school
and then stop. On that ground we were TOR
giving the Repository's layorte a share.
We will add that the committee last year
never heard a suggestion of seciarianism on
this question.

Abstract of the Treasurer's
Report,

The Report of the Secretary of the Treas
ury shows that the receipts Of the Treasury
are not only sufficient for all the wants of
government, but admit q reduction IN the
rate of TAXATION.
The Secretary therefore, calls on Con-
gress TO reduce the revenue--so as to have
no more funds in the Treasury than are re.
quired.
An addition TO the Free List is recon-
mended as the best means Of accomplishing
this object
The Secretary represents the condition Of
the National Exchequer to be in very pros-
porous condition
The Secretary thinks the large amount Of
small silver coin. issued the past year, has
kept the currency sound-but believes that
the full benefit, of such coinuge, are not
realized, so long as large issues of small
bank botes are encouraged. Fudge were
it not for small bank notes, more small change
would be required
A vigorous prosecution of the coast sur.
vey is urged. Also increased facilities for
the Light House Board.
Facilities for saving life from shpwreck
on the coast of Long Island and New Jer-
sey, engage the attention Of the Depart
mont.
Alusion is made TO the wreck of the New
Era. Experiments for throwing ropes by
moriars moro eliectually, are making.
But Congress must make additional ap.
preparations to carry ont the objects m view
The present steamboat act is referred 10
as being inefficient, and its revision recon-
mcnded. The losses of steam vessels frou
