bridge Srid he was actually ashamed to put his
stock into the yards at Brighton. The steers
which have been kept on the Western corn are
beginning to come. This fact should be borne il
mind in comparing prices. This week the droY-
ers all agree with the Albany reporter as to an
advance in price in that market Having paid
more for this stock it was natural that the Albany
brewers should expect more here The butchers,
however, were reluctant to concede, and there
comes hitch this week. Parties have taken
more time than usual to agree OH price, or to
agree not to agree. Both at Cambridge and at
Brighton trade went slowly. Men gathered IN
squads and talked. Nobody was in a hurry.
AT Cambridge we think the cattle were not sold
hardly as well as last week; ane we think also
that the butchers intend to buy at about last
weeks prices at Brighton. We have heard OF no
lots being sold over IA cents, and none under Il
cts. per lb.-Mosty Is a ID l-2
Since last Wednesday sheep have arrived from
Albany so freely as TO ''break down" the market.
We find over 1000 Western sheep Consequently
the butchers were mighty independent at Cam
bridge with the Northern drovers, and even said
they didn't care a snap what the goods cost
One drover bought a carload on the way to mar
ket, on speculation at IL cts. perlb. He work
ed early and late TO find customer, and finally
sold them at 5-S per pound. Drovers say prices
were from IL to l cent per pound lower than
last week. Plenty of beef, plenty of mutton
plenty ofveal, with fair amount of 2" Chicken

Children at School.

the teacher knew anything"
Such q remark fell from the lips of
a fond, doting parent in my hearing,
a few days since, whose little son had
been punished for disobeying the
orders Of school. The lad was at
once taken from school; and Of
course loses the benefit Of instruc-
ton for the summer. The teacher is
not injured, only in feelings and a
few sIeepless nights; while the boy
receives an injury from which he can
never recover. 1t is a permanent
injury, which the boy viii regret ex-

cludedm the foregoing estimate which /
Orleans does not possess, where then is
the reason for the above mentioned {
is it not found in the
neglect of Orleans, to develop and ,
improve her natural resources ? but
some one may say she has not the
wealth, nor the means, for so doing /
but such an argument is destroyed,
by the fact, That one reason why she
has not the means, is because she has
neglected to improve the advantages
about which we are talking; which .
when improved, will increase her wealth, |
prosperity and influence The 100 |
manufacturing establishments, which, |
Orleans County had in 1860, were
made up by counting every thing from
a cooper shop to a grist mill. Intact, |
there are but few manufactures pro
duced in the county, except for home
use and consumption; which seldom
becomes an essential feature OF the
material prosperity Of a community,
although full of domestic usefulness.
What is the nature Of the manulactO
ries which monopolize some of the
finest water privileges al Northern
Vermont, located in many parts OF the
county? Are they Of a kind which
tend to build up and strengthe~ the
business, and increase the wealth Of
the towns in which they are situated
or are they chiefly some old dilapidated
shells for buildings, with worthless,
worn out cards, and a few rusty spin
dies for machinery ? If they are not
what they ought to be, how can they be
impoyed and put in a desirable ,
furnishing condition ? Do men, who
have money at interest, or hold bonds
with so much compIacency, or some
other securities, which they have such
a holy horror for disturbing, ever
think that they are responsible for the
situation in which the manufactures
Of the county to day stand and the
VERY source to which the manutactur-
ING interests Of the county must Of ne

condition, for assistance, new life, and

The Legislature and the Nominations fol
Judges.

We agree with the Wing that the course for
the Legislature to pursue, under present cir
cumstances, is not plain, but involves a ques-
tion of great delicacy. A very plausible argu-
ment may be made in favor either of the posi-
tion assumed by. the Governor or OF that
which it is said will be taken by the Judiciary
Committee. The fact that the Constitution uses
the word chosen rather than confirm, y is
the point chiefly relied upon by those who hold
that the Governor must nominate more than
one person for each judgeship. The language is
that judges shall be chosen by the Legislature
from persons nominated by the Governor.
How would the Governors plan work? He
holds that the Legislature is clothed with the
same power which the United States Senate
has over nominations made to office by the
President. Then, Of course, the power TO "con-
firm implies the correlative right to '~reJect."
With this underslanding-and he directly
declares in his message that this IS his under
standing Of the relative rights Of the Governor
and the Legislature-he dominates one person
for, say the Richmond circuit. The Legisla-
ture reject him. He then dominates another
and another until one is named whom the
Legislature elects. Surely that would comply
with both the letter and the spirit OF the Con-
s~titutiQn for the Legislature would In the
case supposed have chosen a judge from
among persons nominated by the Governor.
Is it not possible that this was the idea In the
minds Of the trainers Of the Constitution
Again: If we assume thai the Governor must
nominate more than one person, the question
arises, how many morer Only twof linen
the Legislature may reject both. And the
Governor must then send in more names. but
suppose he send the name Of one man notorl-
ously incompetent in company with mat OF
the g person " whom the Governor wishes 10
be elected Judge. Will that course satisfy the
requirements Of the Constitution
Once more The word persons" Us used In
the Constitution, is necessarily employed, Tor
the reason that it would have been nonsense 10
use the singular number in such a connection.
The Language is: Judges shall be chosen
s.by the Legislature from persons nominated
"by the Governor" Plainly, the word per
SOM could not have been substituted LOT
"persons" even If the Convention mad IN
tended that the Governor should nominate
only one for each circuit.
Inasmuch, then, as the matter is not Tree
from doubt, and the "persons nomina-
ted" There is the constitutional phrase] are
almost all unexceptionable, it would seem TO
be the wisest course for the Legislature TO
confirm the nominations made by Governor
PgIRpoIsr, since their term Of Office cannot
outlast the brief period during which the pres
ent.Constitution will remain the organic law
of the State.
