The Midnight Suu,

Rev. DR.. Daniel March writes from
Hammerfest, Norway, to the EoQngeList
under date OF July 18th: at is mid
night by my watch, midnight by the
watches of my travelling companions,
midnight by the ships chronometer
midnight by our reckoning Of time on
our voyage, and yet the sun is shining
directly in the north, full orbed and as
full of light as when within an hour of
setting in a clear sky in America. /
look down u beautiful Fiord, between
two walls OF dark mountains and calm
bright sea, and in the utmost limit of the
view is the great orb of day pouring
flood of golden light upon the water,
kindling the fleeing clouds above him
with all the hues of the rainbow, crown
ing the dark ridges of the mountains
with rosy tints and covering the whole
face of land and sea with a calm, sacred,
awful beauty, such as never beheld in
any other region Of the earth. 1t seems
as if had climbed so high up the ridge
of the round world, that could see over
into the secret chambers where the King
of day retires to his golden rest. l feel
almost afraid to look at the awful mon
arch while he is putting on his robes of
brightness and preparing to go forth
and shine upon the subject world. 1t
seems as if l had intruded with rude and
impertinent curiosity into the secret
place of the King of Light, and that he
might punish the intrusion by shifting
me with blindness. Never could this
strange sight OF the midnight sun be
seen to. greater advantage. The ship
entered this beautiful Fiord Just in time
to give us the best possible position for
beholding the two things which once
seen are never to be forgotten the sun
at midnight, and the sun directly in the
North"

THE VOICE OF THK SPIRIT.

There is a low, deep music in the wind,
Sounding at intervals when all Is still,
Heard only by [ he pure In heart, who find
JOY in their daily task doing their Makers
WILL
Be they in velvet clad, or russet stole,
In hall or hut, theirs is that low, sweet
chime,
Solemn, yet cheerful speaking to the soul
OF joys that rest not in this stranger cline.
Loud music cannot quench it, nor the sound
or mighty voices, like the mingled roar
OF tossing waves that with delicious bound
Leap onward in their fury to the shore
Nor yet the jarring sounds of bustling life,
Whose weary footsteps toll in quest of gain
In dusty mart, mid sickening scenes of
strife,
Till the worn spirit longs for est,-in vain.
Yet few do hear it; either care or pride,
Or thoughts unholy, folly, grief, or crime,
Whelming the soul beneath their rushing tide
Hinder the coming OF that low, sweet chime.
Mems hearts are heavy, or thoy would not
slight
Their spirits oneness with so pure strain,
Though faint as when the far-of torrents
might
Seems as murmur stealing DER the plain.
From source far mightier comes that low,
sweet sound,
Than deep, deep waters laundering to the
ear;
From harps and mingled voices that rcsound
With anthems high through heavens etcr-
nal year.

Who is exactly suited with the tariff bill

bat it is pretty clear that it is not sat
isfactory to many of the business men. The
Chamber of Commerce Of Cincinnati on
Saturday unanimously adopted resolutions
declaring that the '' financial condition OF the
country requires such supervision OF the
tariff by Congress as Will realize the largest
revenue in the least burdenslme manner
that tariff to foster monopolies ami to give
special advantages to a comparatively small
number of persons, is oppressive and unjust
to the great body of people and will not be
tolerated by any political party. The
truth of these generAlities will be generally
conceded but the resolutions also went INTO
particulars SO far as to declare that the tariff
bill lately presented by the Committee OF
Ways and Means is " not such as l. de-
manded in the present depressed condition
of trade and manufactures that 1t renews
and even aggravates the odious discriminating
characteristics of existing laws, by which
larger advantages are given to some depart
ments. creating enormous wealth for few,
which is unjusJly taken from the pockets OF
the many, under the pretense Of protecting
labor: but which in fact robs labor of it

and forcing labor into competition with IT

terials. and articles entering into the pro-
vince of labor should be admitted free of
duty. or at the lowest possible rates consis-
tent with established industries and with the
financial condition Of the country Sup
posing all this To be conceded, there remains
the great p actical question, what are the
lowest rates consistent with the prosperity OF
established industries. and with the condition
of the treasury and the country? " re are glad
that such questions do not fall u us to an

Tie lev Governor.

At the conclusion Of the funeral services Of
mentioned in our dispatches, number Of the
State officials members of both Houses of the
Legislature, and citizens, assembled at the par
lOrs of the Eagle Hotel, where the oath OF office
was administered to Hon. George W. Hendee,
Lieutenant Governor, by Hon Benjamin Steele,
Judge Of the Supreme Court, and certified to by
Hon. George Nichols, Secretary Of State. We
notice that some of our exchanges speak of Gov.
Hendee as {" Acting Governor" In the case,
as before alluded to by US, in which Lieut-Goy.
Jennison performed the duties Of the chief ex-
ecutive officer there was no " absence or dissbil-
ity " of the Governor, but failure to elect one.
Lieutenant Jennison accordingly performed the
duties, and was properly styled Acting Cover
nor. But in case Of death the Lieutenant Gov
ernor, as We understand it, becomes Governor,
just as the Vice President Of the United States
bee )mes President in case Of the death OF the
President The oath administered to Mr. Hen
dee was accordingly to administer the office Of
Governor, and that doubtless is his proper
title is noticeable that the contingency Of
death of the Governor s not definitely mentioned
in the Constitution Of Vermont. It's trainers
probably considered that death is both an " alb
sence" AMI disability" and being saving Of
their words, did not mention the case Of death,
as the Constitution of the United states, and
those of most Of the States, we believe, do.

How do they knew &!

How do those who say the women do not
want to vote, know that fact ask the advo-
Gates of woman suffrage We answer, FOR
ourselves, that we infer it, so far as this State
is concerned, from the fact that the wo-
men OF Vermont take no pains to make
known the wish. il they wish to vote ;
from the fact that many women, and women
whose good Judgment and tru' womanly in
stincts entite them 10 speak for the better
portion of their sex, sag distinctly that they
do not want to cote while Of those who
avowedly hold different opinion, the mum
Der in Vermont that We have heard Of
thus far, can be numbered on any man :
fingers. We infer it from communications
to the public press. such as that from St.
Adams lady, which we copy in another col
umn and 70 which we ask special attention.
as tolerably definite expression Of opinion
on the subject. aud very sensible one, too,
as we look at it.
We infer it from the fact that the men are
generally opposed TO the - reform, where
as they are commonly in favor OF anything
which finds decided favor with the gentler sex.
And that our Vermont women are no ex-
ceptions 70 the general rule among their
sisters elsewhere. We infer from the fact that
a number of ladies Of high social position in
Washington, headed by the wife Of Admiral
Dahlgren, contemplate the formation of a So
ciety for active opposition to the woman
suffrage movement upon the ground that
suffrage would impose upon women burdens
and responsibilities she is unable to bear.
and that the time has come when the whole
sex should express its opinion in plain terms.
If these are not sufficient grounds for our
opinion we can give more.
