PUBLIC MEETINGS.

The public gatherings of the present
week were inaugurated on Tuesday even
ing by an I'D iress in the Representatives
Hall, by DIR. George Dutton, A. NJ, OF
West Randolph, formerly of Rutland.
His argument was against the death
penalty. drawn from the Divine law and
human experience, showing that the
death penalty should be repealed, not
end desired-the protection of Society
The cases of Jesse and Stephen Bourn of
Manchester, Vt, Of Charles Boyiugton Of
Mobile. and of Margaret Houghtailing
were cited as instances where innocent
parties have been convicted. The opinions
of eminent men upon the subject were
presented. The address as a whole
was forcible aud interesting argument
well wrought out, and one not easily con-
troverted, although all its points may not
be fully endorsed by public sentiment, or
in other words, public opinion is not edu-

y" Wednesday, the Vermont Dairy
mans Association held its annual meet
ing. To the evening an address was
delivered by Hon. X. A. Willard
OF Utica, n. Y, 1t was plain, practical
interesting, suggestive address, on the
origin of the associated dairy system.
The address should DO printed, either by
the State or the Association, for the hene-
fl of the farmerssof the State. 1t would
be one Of the most useful public docu.
ments the General Assembly could pub.
lish for the benefit Oh the agricultural
population of the State.
On Thursday evening, James Fl

Board OF Education, addressed the Legis-

Rev. F. E. Goodrich, of Burlington, fol
lowed in a brief address of thirty minutes
presenting the claims of the Vermont
State Teachers Association and the
County Associations to the consid-
alton Of the Legislature. The impression
conveyed of the educational interests al
now managed by district and prudential
committees and district clerks, was
not favorable to the progress of our
Common Schools. Many valuable sug
gestion of amendments were proposed
which will undoubtedly assume such
form as to be presented before the Legis'
lature.

The Caughuawa Canal.
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE COM
MERCIAL COMMITTEE ON GOVERNOR
UNDERwOOD'S ADDRESS-THE
GREAT WORK ENDORSED.

On Tuesday afternoon meeting of the
Committee of the Board of Trade was
held in the Secretary's Office, to hear a
statement from Hon. Levi Underwood,
Ex-Governor of Vermont and VicePresi-
dent of the Caug hLawaga Canal Company,
respecting the commercial Importance OF
the proposed work.
Governor Underwood in his address.
urged that the Caughn .waga Canal would
be necessary as supplementary to the pro-
iected Ontario and Ecie Canal, and that it
could be constructed, CT a capacity to float
vessels of $50 tons burden, for $780,
900.
Hon. R. B. Mason, Mayor of Chicago,
and Hon. ]. Y. Scammon, endorsed Gov
ernor Underwood's statements, and fur
Their indicated the commercial Importance
of the undertaking.
The matter was then referred to a
special committee of four, consisting of
Messrs. Egan, Davis, Whitney and Wren.
Yesterday at noon this special COM
mittee submitted thu following report,
which was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, This Committee has on a pre-
vious occasion, given its cordial endorse
ment to the project of connecting the
waters of the River ST. Lawrence with
those of Lake Champlain, by the pro-
posed Caughnawaga Canal; and,
Whereas, The committee has heard,
with great pleasure and satisfaction, the
address of the Hon. Levi Underwood, in
which he most fully demonstrated, not
only the practicability, but also the emf
nent wisdom OF the early construction OF
said canal, under the liberal charter
granted by the Parliament of the Domin-
ion of Canada; therefore, 49,.
ReSOlUed, That this committee more
ephatically re-afirms its previously ex.
pressed sentiment, that the construction
of the proposed line of water eommuni-
cation is commercial necessity, not only
to the producing regions of the West anG
Northwest, but also to the manufacturing
and consuming classes near the seaboard
as well as for the cheap and speedy trans.
portations of the inland commerce of the
United States with foreign countries.
ReS0Loed, that we regard this line OF
canal as a valuable, if not indispensable
supplement to the proposed Ontario and
Erie Canal, recently warmly commended
by this committee ; the two, when com
pleted, giving this city an uninterrupted
water communication of over l 400 mile,
in the direct line of transit for most Yves
tern products, and navigable for as Ions
season as any of the chain OF Northern
lakes.
Resol0ed, That we most heartily com
mend the proposed work as worthy the
attention and favor of capitalists and
business men and we urge upon such
the prompt capitalization of the company
and that the enterprise be pursued to an
early completion, in view of the pressing
needs of commerce and the demands for
greater and cheaper means of transporta'
ton by the rapidly developing greatness
and wealth of the United States and
Canada.
After the acceptance and adoption Of
the report, the meeting adjourned.
