Senate, and will, believe, have the real, If
not formal control of the House. The action
of the government will he substantially in the
direction which the administration, or rather,
its partizans, dictate, and successful resist
auce to its policy must be made elsewhere
than at Washington.
In spite OF the apparent difficulty in the
organization of the House, there is pretty
general belief that an election will be effected
as early as Monday at the latest cannotlcarn
that this expectation rests on any very solid
grounds; but if it shall prove welllounlcd,
and even either Mr.. Banks or Mr.. Campbell
should be the successful candidate, it is not
thence to be inferred, that tho career of the
administration has received serious check
Pressure ab crtrd may compel an organization;
but the Opposition is not sufficiently harmo-
nized as to measures, to act unitedly in resist
ing the will Of the government party. The
rightIul and and only cffectual remedy for
existing and mcdtatcd wrongs, is at the bal
lot-box in November next and if that shall
fail, constitutional means will have aeen cx-
hausted, and the North and the South may
then seriously set themselves about " cstima-
ting the value oil the Union

bell for his withdrawal tend to cast a suspi
cion on the purity of those upon whom til,

ministration.

From the Rutland Herald
yprapinr Of the Grand List

This year the Legislature apprized the
relative value of the Grand List in the seve-
raj counties. l.. ; WALDO, Esq, Rep from
Tinmouth, has sent us "a schedule of that av-
craging. 1t will be seen that in Bennington.
Caledonia, Franklin, Rutland Windsor,
Nindham and Orange Counties the average
has been increased. Rutland is placed next
to Grand Isle in value, We have heard that
one reason given in Committee why Rutland
County should be appriscd higher, was be
cause they made SO much money out of the
State Fair
According to the Census tables of 1850.
Addison county had 243 ,3l2 acres of improv-
ed land, valued at S32,05 per acre. Rutland
had 800 ,392 acres ofimproved land, valued
at S24 per acre. And yet the land in Rut-
land county is put fifty cents higher in the
Grand List. In Rutland county there are
Ia ,j24 acres unimproved, or $50 thousandths
of the whole. In Addison there are lis 2s7
unimproved acres, or IA thousandths of the
whole. Aud yet Rutland is valued the high
est in the Grand List. The reason is tins
within the last five years Rutland County
has increased in wealth, business aud popu-
Etion faster than any other County in the
State

But in this case Mr.. lIotchkiss from a press
