under the above headings he holds up the
mirror TO Franklin county, as follows:
Franklin county, Vermont, bounded on
the north by Canada, and on the west by
Lake Champlaiu, geographically small,
containing only fifteen towns, produces
more butter and cheese than any other

few outside Of its borders are aware of it,
Tho fertile valley Of the MiSsisquoi, which
stream takes its rise in Canada, and runs
westerly through the entire length OF the
county and then di,chargiag it, waters
into Champaign, adds greatly TO the grass
products Of that part of the State, What
Addison county is in tinc-wool sheep and
Morgan horses. Franklin is in butter and
cheese. Very li,tle grain is grown-not
enough for home consumption. Formerly,
before railroad facilities brought market
for butter almost TO the farmers own door,
more attention was paid To raising stock
but now the great staple is butter and
cheese. Every farmer Is engaged in It,
according to his possession of broad acres.
The dairieS vary in number OF COWS, IRON
20 TO 100, while the average j. not far
from GO to 20. As vet, nearly everything
is done in private dairies, though a few
cheese factories have been started.
The marketing Is now mostly done at
st. Adams on Tuesday Of each week, and
from eight to twelve o'clock, Main and
Lake streets OF that beautiful village are
crowded with farmers teams. having
come in with tubs of butter. The walks
are crowded with buyers aud sellers and
before mid day a spirited scene Is pre-
scented. If the demand is good, and the
supply short, the sellers combine for an
advance. Ii the condition OF the market
is the reverse, then the buyers agree on
certain figures, and hold otG with the
view Of bringing the tfrmcr> 10 their
terms, This sometimes doesn't work as
well in the execution "a, in the planning,
and a single departure on tho part of the
buyer from the agreement, Is soon found

with rush at advanced rates. d.,

before the patent committee of the House,

Woolley would be examined and finally

The Senate debate upon the omnibus
bill has been very tedious, but nothing
more important can be brought up in the
Senate at this time As soon As recon-
struction is disposed of, the appropriation
bill will be passed, and the way win be
clear for the tax bill or adjournment.
The House passed the American

FRIDAY, JUNE II, lf''s.
TN. vaur,ccnth amendment 4" the
constitution,

II now seem, certain tha, I'll, adoption
Of the fourteenth amendment Ia the con-
.timtian proposed by Congress in 1866
and ratified hy nearly enough States TO
make il a law, will be precedent eondl'
,ioa 10 the admission If the late rebel
States to representation in Congress In'
der il quito a large number Of rehels VIII
be disfranchishcd, IL, however, contains
a provision rs which Congress, by two
third vote, may remove thu disabilities
imposed. No one can fail to'scc grow
ing disposition 10 erase II fast as Is con'
siston, with the conditions Of public safe
~ and the preservation Of a well-dofln'd
recollection 81 the rebellion, all traces of
the war. II will Is for the interest Of the
government t. bring all its subjects into
il, cordial support, and hence il is mo
heavy draft upon the probabilities Of the
future 10 conclude that, except in perhaps
few very extreme eases, the disiran-
chisiug clause Of the fourteenth amend
ment will be made imperative 10y reason
Of constitutional Congressional enact
ment.
In 1870 new census will DO taken,
when the clause Of the amendment relat'
ing 20 Tho basis Of c0ngrGSsiOhafrCpre
alton will take effect II the blacks are
then disfranchisoa by any Of the States
the basis Of representation viii be cut
down in proportion to the disfranehisc-
ment Nothing could be more just than
this. Otherwise all the slaves having
now become free, and a. a consequence
all passed into the representation basis,
whereas only three-fifths Of them were
counted before emancipation transpired,
the old discrimination against the North
would be rendered still greater and more
unjust.
But a question arises, and very natu.
rally, rs 10 the effect of the conditions
imposed in the acts snow before Congress
for the admission Of the States composing
the late Southern Confcdcracy. and vari-
GUS theories are advanced concerning the
effect Of the application Of the law rclat-
ing to the case. But we cannot soc how
any serious difficulty can arise. Ii the
States are admitted to the Union by act
Of Congress, any attempt to restore them
10 territorial condition must prnye rs
futile as the acts of their inhabitants were
TO subvert the authority Of the national
government. and with the ballot in the
hands Of every loyal citizen, fears that
REASONABLE measures will again he re-
sorted to, are in every sense grounalcss.
There are many reasons why the blacks
cannot be easily disfranchiscd. Starting
out with the ballot they will be inclined
TO keep it. AT any rate the Fortieth Con
gress can accomplish nothing more for
them than to so start them. III il under
takes to do more we fear it will make
sad mistake. II is not likely that the
South will deprive itself Of representation
in Congress for the sake of depriying
black men of the right Of suffrage, and in
every phase in which the matter can be
viewed, the fourteenth amendment meets
the case most, fully.

In those days butter was decidedly Il
drug in market-no demand for il abroad
for want of facilities for transportation,
and at home the demand was soon sup

il.

10 Mr., Whiting that he remembered ear
