The y. Y. Independent seems to deprecate
the charge of 8 disingenuousness " we have
found it necessary to bring against it. If the
Independent would like credit for ingenious
ness and straightforward dealing in the mat
ter, it can gain it by informing its readers,
that contrary to the rule in every other State, in
Vermont the people have no direct vote on
any constitutional amendment that they can
express their will in regard to woman SUIT
rage only in the choice of delegates to the
Constitutional Convention that the FREE
Pass has welcomed discussion before the
people; but has objected to the proposed at
tempt to carry the convention against the
deliberate decision of the people, by outside
pressure and eloquence, as essentially unseem-
ly and outrageous. When the Independent
says 50 much as this it will have for the first
time correctly stated our position If it
wishes to keep its readers informed of the
actual state of the case, it can add that the
improperly of bringing in eloquent orators
from abroad to endeavor to persuade the dele
gates TO disregard the clear and definite
wishes of their constituents. became appa-
rent to the managers Of the Woman Suffrage
Association as soon as public attention was
called to it and that the project has been
abandoned.
The British Minister has written to Secre-
tary Fish protesting against the ratification
by this Government Of the Darien ship canal
treaty, on the ground that it violates the
provisions of the treaty between the United
States and England providing that in such
enterprises both countries shall be equal
partners. Mr. Thornton's letter is said to
be very earnest, and indicative of the deep
interest her Majesty's government feels in
this important subject. If the treaty re-
ferred to stands good in this case, aud the |
cooperation of Great Britain be accepted, it I
seems reasonable to suppose that one half of /
the expense of the canal would be borne by /
that country. This is no small item, for the
latest and best data on the subject Justify
the estimate of the cost Of the canal at from
seventy to one hundred millions of dollars.
Vast as this appears, it will not appear exces-
sive when we consider the immense amount
of shipping which would pass through it,
and that competent engineers place the cost
of the transportation of a ship and cargo of
one thousand tons by such canal, at one
tventy-ffth of the cost of transporting the
cargo by rail. 4,
1t appears further from some recent state 1
ments that Secretary Fish has argued the point
with Mr.. Thornton, and convinced him that a
Dur plans in regard to the canal scheme do j
not conflict with the treaty to which stten- c
ion is called. There would seem to be no
sason why the two powers cannot cooperate n
. heartily 10 1870 as in 1850. '

1t is stated in the Free Press that Phillips,
Beecher, Curtis and others are TO be at Mont
pelier during the Constitutional Convention IN
June, for the purpose Of influencing the Con-
vention by their addresses on Woman Suffrage.
We have made inquiry Of the Executive Com
mittee Of the Vermont Woman Suffrage Asso-
ciaton. auI learn that no such arrangements
have been made or are in contemplation.
We are glad to hear this. Our informa-
ton on the subject was received from a lead
ing member Of the Suffrage Association Just
after the close Of the Convention here, dur
ing which be had been in daily and hourly
conference with the leading relormcrs, and
was positive to the effect that Mr.. Beccher
and Mr.. Curtis had already been engaged
to address the Convention. We can
not doubt that such was then the plan
We are glad-not, as we have said, from
any fear Of the result but for the sake Of
members of the Association for whom we
have sincere respect and regard-that the
purpose has been abandoned.

The Commeraai Bulletin attributes the
present unusual ease in the New York money
market to the light requirements Of the Mid
die States for the annual settlements to the
large increase Of specie in the banks. which
has broadened the basis of the banking rev
onues to the dullncss of trade and specula-
ton; and to the general decline in prices
arising from the decline in gold The
New York banks hold nearly $50, 0OO, 900 in
specie against some 81 900 600 at the same
time last year. The uncertain legislation on
the funding and specie payment bills and the
tinkering Of the tariff have prouced par
alyzing effect on business. Purchases for the
spring trade have been restricted to the wants
OF immediate consumption, and the amount of
paper offered for discount has been in conse-
quence unusually limited. The clearings of
the New York Associated Banks for the six
weeks ending April 9th were s., l49 600 600
against 1881 100000 during the same
period in 1863, falling off Of 80 per cent.
The Bulletin judges from past experience
that money will continue to accumulate
freely for the business period covered by the
next few weeks.

Everyb body should now be their guard
against the great danger Of disease arising from
mals ieus causes. Fever and Ague prevails to
an alarming extent every spring in nearly all
parts of the couatry, and many persons are east
ly predi.posed to it on account of some impru-
depce during the winter months. Is6eed. very
much of the sickness notice in the spring OF
the year may be traced to causes which we're en-
gendered in the ''cold term" But whether the
cause lies hidden in the system or not. it is GER
tain that disease will develope itself at the first
opportunity, hence no one should hesitate for 9
