In Congress, since the opening of the
spacious galleries holding thousands,
and under the spur of the exciting ques.
lions growing out OF the rebellion, the
habit has become common-we may say
1t is a fixed habit, which will not be
broken up until the Senate and House
lock up their galleries. 1t Is a habit
destructive to the dignity and decorum
of both Houses, and injurious in its in.
auence upon their members. But In
court, IL Is far worse. Justice is repre-.
scented to be blind to brides, fear, favor,
affection, prejudice, that she may weigh
every case with eXactitude In the scales
she holds in her hand. She should also
be deaf to the influences of public opin.
ion just, though every one cry out
against her just, though all the earth
rebel and the heavens fall. The differ
ence between an audience and court
and jury is that the audience Is at liber.
" in forming opinions to indulge their
sympathies and wishes, while this is ut.
terly forbidden to the court and jury;
so court should no more permit an
audience to put its sympathies into a
case than it should admit irreveant ties.
timony, or permit pleader to falsify
the law or the testimony. 1t is for the
public good to have it so, for the secur-
ity OF every person who is liable to come
into court as party and therefore
everybody, for his own sake, should res
pect the rules of the court. The rule of
Congress (rarely enforced) is to clear the
galleries in case of this offense. We
think courts should rigidly enforce such
3 rule.

1t is said that the opinion was called for

Mr.. BEEcHRR's NovgL.-The Ledger
announces that it will begin the publ
cation of Henry Ward Beecher's novel
in its next number. The title of Mr.,
Beecher's novel is Norwood; or Viii
lage Life in New England" The Ledger
remarks:
1t is said that on one occasion, during
Mr.. Beecher's residence at the West, a
committee from the church where he
preached called upon him to demonstrate
against his saying so many witty things
in his sermons. He replied to then :
Brethren, if you only knew how much
l keep back, you would never think of
finding fault with me for what l say.
In this story Mr.. Bescher keeps back
nothing. In it he gives full scope to all
his faculties.
The Ledger has also secured a series
of articles from the Presidents Of twelve
of the principal colleges in the United
States. The first article, from DR.. Hill
of Harvard, is on the study Of mathe'
mates. DR.. WOolsey of Yale will fol-
low with a paper on the study Of the
classics.

more than we can express In our brief
space for the merit of the stock OF the
gentlemen In question. Their spell
mems exhibited were In all respects su-
perior to the usual standard of full.
FLOODED Spanish merinoes, and will,
without doubt, be heard of hereafter.
Carson Gldddlngs of Ira, also, had
some fine sheep on exhibition, one of his
bucks, whose carcass weighed i22
pounds, showing a fleece OF a years
growth, upon sheariug, of 2Ol.2 pounds.
Albert Bresee OF Hubbardton had Il
splendid buck on the grounds, whose
carcass weighed l07 IL pounds, and
who produced the fine fleece of 81 lbs,
and or.
Mr.. j. B. Proctor Of West Rutland
was not whit behind the excellent
specimens we have mentioned, and one
of his backs, whose carcass weighed but
7S "a pounds, produced fleece of Ia
pounds weight, which we think is doing
pretty well for Rutland.
But the centre Of attraction en- the
grounds appeared to be the ram "Gen.
Lee" owned by Messrs. Smith g. Pierce
of Clarendon, berd by NJ. G. Barber OF
Hubbardton, whose first fleece weighed
IS pounds; his second fleece weighing
"a pounds, and his third, sheared yester-
day, and by several pounds the heaviest
shorn on the occasion, and being of but
II ID months growth, weighing 25 IL
pounds. The weight of this bucks car
cass is but l2l IL pounds, and we con-
slider him by all odds the finest speci-
men Of the pure merino in this section.
There are Others which, perhaps, we
might allude to, but as we said at the
outset where all were so meritorious, it
is impossible to particularize, and only
allude to these as the most deserving Of
those which came under our especial
notice. The results of the shearing, we,
for want of space, are obliged to omit
to-day, but will endeaver to give to-
morrow morning.
At the annual meeting of the associa-
ton held yesterday, good degree of en-
thusiasm was manifest, and the old

Rutland County Sheep breeders
and Wool Growers Meeting.

The first annual shearing of the Rut-
land County Sheep Breeders and Wool
Growers Association was held at the
Fair Grounds in this place yesterday,
and was very largely attended, some
800 or 900 of the sheep-breeders of Rut-
land County being present, sufficient
number to show that old Rutland is
alive to the interests OF our greatest
staple,-wool,- and though we have at
tended many similar exhibitions In 9th
er places, we think this shearing main
tanned more enthusiasm throughout its
entire progress than any we have ever
attended. The display of animals was
most superb, and was conclusive evil
deuce that though other sections of Yer
mont may claim to be harry on wool,
we of Rutland County have at least a
little to say regarding the heaviest, and
as proof of our claim we have only to
refer our readers to the products of the
sheep sheared on the occasion to which
we refer.
In looking over the numerous fine
hocks of sheep upon the grounds, on ex-
hibition, it would seem almost useless
to attempt to particularize any as most
meritorious yet, nevertheless, we can
not believe we are doing justice to our
subject, unless we mention a few as
among those which seemed to stand
head and shoulders above ordinary spec
linens.
In this class our first allusion would
be to the fine lot exhibited by Mr.. n. 7.
Sprague Jr., of Brandon, who exhibited
eight Of the very best specimens of the
Infantadoe species, which for symmetry
of carcass and weight Of fleece we be-
lieve was unsurpassed by any thing on
the ground, combining as they do beau
ty of fleece ears, the usual amount Of
"wrinkles" and all other points" of in
terest to sheep breeders and dealers.
These sheep were very favorably exhib-
tied by Col. Fl. H. Merritt, Mr.. Sprague's
efficient superintendent, and who by the
way is one of the very best sheep men in
the State of Vermont, as well as a
respected and honored citizen, having
represented the town Of Sudbury in the
Vermont Legislature in the years Of
1918, 1849 and 1853, and who has dis
tinguished himself in the State militia,
in the various capacities of Captain,
Major and Colonel. Mr.. Merritt is a
brother of the present efficient Quarter
master General Of the State of New York,
and in addition to his being successful
sheep breeder, we can testify to his be-
ing a gentleman In every sense Of the
word, and congratulate Major Sprague
upon his acquisition in the supern'
tendence Of his stock.
Messrs. Gleason g. Jones of Shrews-
bury were also on hand with most
excellent lot OF full-blooded merinos,
consisting of q breeding ewes aud 8
stock bucks, in which is embraced those
which these gentlemen proposed to
shear yesterday for purse Of 500, pro.
vidipg ten entries were made, and which
they were only deferred from doing by
the fact that only four persons were
ready to compete with the specimens
exhibited by them, fact which speaks

THE WBATHER,-The weather, consid-
ering the season, is most inclement here
abouts, we having had not orGr half a
dozen real spring-like days the present
year. Yesterday morning about one
o'clock snow commenced falling, and
came down quite lively for an hour or
two, though before daylight it had
mostly disappeared. "Our devil sug-
gests that somebody should take the
clerk of the weather under shed and
give him little wholesome advice re-
garding public opinion upon his con
duct.
