Where ought the state House to he

Where ought the state House to he
No Just conclusion can be formed on the
question where ought the State House to
be, without carefully considering the geo.
graphy of the State and the progress Of its
population. From peculiar causes a new
region may begin to be settled in almost any
spot, without any reference to what the re
gion, as Il ChOlc, is destined to be. In the
long run, however, its geographical rela-
tons exert a controlling influence, and de-
eide where its population will be found, and
where will be their chief lines of communi-
cation.
The earlier settlements Of Vermont were
on the southern and south eastern borders,
Hence for many years the main portion
of the population was in tine southern part
of the state. In l79l, Bennington, Rutland,
Whitman and Windsor counties had Gl 200
inhabitants. All the rest of the state,
though almost twice as large had but 24,219.
Though up to this time the southern part
of the state shows greater population than
the northern, in proportion to the ettent IF
surtoce great change has been steadily
going on in favor of the north Let us
look at the population Of the different coun-
ties in l60O and in 1850, as given by official
census.-The population is given for each
county for each time ,on the supposition that
the towns were the same in each county in
1900 as they were in 1850.

The Special Session.

The Extra Session is held for an extraor-
binary and highly important purpose. The
expression in its favor is general, and as
general seems to be the opinion, that, inde-
pendent Of the necesSihcS Of the case, 1t is
far better to have the subject which comes
hefore 1t, acted upon dccisively by a lcgs-
lature elected when no such subject was
thought Of than by one elected with fore
knowledge that it was to come before them.

Of Req, cSentdiireS 1t has hitherto been
the good fortune of the Vermont Legisla

perity, and under circumstances the most
suspicious.
The Executives in addressing to the Leg

the pleasure Of congratulating them upon
the happy and prosperous condition OF all
the interests of this Commonwealth. But
we are not here to mingle our congratula-
tions,- to attend to the ordinary sub
iccts of legislation. A sad calamity has
summoned us together. The recent des-
truction of our State House by fire, has left
us without accommodations for the stated
sessions OF the Legislature, and deprived
aome Of our public officers of the facilities
requisite to tie proper discharge of their
official duties Under these circumstances
in view of the urgent necessity for action

FRON CALIFORNIA Geo. Law arrived
at New York ON the 18th, with California
dates Of Jan. Goth, two weeks later. The
news is interesting. Governor johnson, in
his message to the Legislature, dcnounces re
puIiation and recommends the payment of
the illegally contracted State debt. The
entire state debt amounts to but trine
over three millions Of dollars. David c.
Broderick has teen elected o. 5. Senator
for the long t.rm in place Of Weller and W.

arrived at New York in the George Laws
The Alta California says; "Both were

curing his own nomination and election
first, 1t is generally supposed that the
election Of Gwin is the result of bargain,

were dictated by Mr.. Frederick, who had
in his hands a sufficient number of votes to
secure the election Of whomsoever he
pleased" On the oh ult. California was
shaken by violent earthquake. I he shock

damage. The George Law brought S ,O9G,-
