trade in other States for, if they were to do
so, other States would secure their books at
the lower rates by having them forwarded
through the dealers in Name. Books would
be sent to Maine and then returned TO the
other States of the Union.
We deny, and1we demand proof Of the a.
sertio1 that Vermont buys her books to-,iav
cheaper than Maine. Booksellers in Portland
now furnish books 10 Vermont, at the same
rate as to Maine and New Hampshire. Over
100 towns in Vermont also, during the mast
year, have introduced other books than tbose
recommended by the State. There is no
State uniformity there. The Legislative
unanimously refused to make the State Iist
compulsory.
The bill is open to all the objections on the
GROUND of monopoly, which have been here
tofore urged against the general scheme of
| State uniformity. Not one of the odlous fea-
lures is obliterated. 1t proposes as pure a
monopoly as if the State were to buy all the
grain OF a single firm and forbid the peope to
| purchase elsewhere. And when once estab-
iished, the sharp competition, which. more
| than any other cause, has given us our inn
provements in school books, is closed in this
| State for the next five years.
| The fourth section OF tire bill, also, contains
| a small piece of dictatiOn to the towns. re-
| curing, that, unless they adopt the State
books at once, even if they have just intro
duced books which they prefer, they shall,
furnish all newcomers with books Tor moth
ing. The residents are to pay rot only
for their own books but for the books for fam.
lilies moving into the towns.
Is there any occasion for the State to offer
| a premium on change of residence?
The board of selection is to be appointed
nominally by the Governor, but as a matter
of course the influence of the State Supern-
tendent will be felt in the choice of its men,
bers. The Governor cannot attend to the de-
tails of the different departments of State.
This is matter pertaining exclusively to Mr..
Johnson's department and except in an ex-
treme case the wishes of the State Superin-
tendent would be consulted. The County
Supervisors were appointed nominaly by the
Governor, but we are informed that in every
instance the nominees of Mr.. johnson were
appointed.
1t will be so with this commission, and it is
because this is understood by interested par
ties that the agents of certain publishing
houses, whose books are not now in general
use in the State but are known to be favored
by Mr.. johnson, have frequently been closet
ed with him of late and are using their infu.
ence for State uniformity.
Consider the amount of money which the
Harpers whose books are not now generally
used in Maine would pay for their introduc.
ton under State commission for five years
Mr.. johnson may be confident enough in
his own integrity to be willing to expose him.
self to such temptation, but it is for the
State to consider, whether it is for its interest
to introduce system which opens highway
10 corruption and exposes public men to great
temptations and to the damaging suspicion O
having prostituted their influence and be
trayed their trusts for money.

SEVERE WEATHER ON THE PLAINs.-A
letter from Fort Abercrombe says that on
Friday, the 18th inst, there was the most tenn
pestuous storm On the Plains experienced this
winter. On that day Charles Warner, in COM
pany with six soldiers and an Indian scout
left Fort Ransom for Abercrombie. The
soldiers and scout were soon left behind, and
Mr.. Warner heard no more of them until Sat-
urdaay evening. While stopping at station
on the route the scout came in badly frozen
and hardly able to talk. He reported that the
DAY previous he got lost in the driving storm
and, unhitching his mules, had camped out
upon the prairie, all of the party being more
or less frozen. The indian covered four of
the soldiers in the snow, the other two pre-
ferrng to remain in the open SLEIGH. Hetben
started for assistance and travelled that nioht
and all the next day. He finally arrived at
the station, but so badly frozen and exhaust
ed as to have no clear idea-of where the sol-
diers were left buried. His tracks having
been covered by the drift it was impossibe to
follow them back, and no search was made for
the missing men and they are probable all
dead. The same day two men chopping wood
near Alexandra, were lost and have not since
been heard of. '-'' '''''0

The SALE OF WEST POINT CADETsHIPs.-
A Washington dispatch says that so far twelve
members OF the Fortieth and the present Con-
gress have been implicated in the sale of ca
detships. These men are represented as be-
longing to both political parties. The case is
thus summed up by Democratic paper:
Thus far the testimony may be summed up
as showing that Messrs. Pettis and Covode of
Pennsylvania; Blaekman and Sypher, OF
Louisiana; Butler, of Tennessee; White
more and Hodge, OF South Carolina; Deweese
OF North Carolina; Gollalay, of Kentucky;
and Fernando Wood have probably mproper-
ly disposed OF their cadetships. Mr.. Wood is
not charged with selling, but it is alleged had
a boy appointed who was not of Woods dis
trict. Mr.. Hodges. who is a member of the
committee making the investigation, is charg-
ed with permitting his appointee at Annapo-
lis to withdraw, for which thousand dollars
was paid. AS to Mr.. Butler, of Tennessee, it
is charged that he received $1,000 for his West
Point nomination. He yesterday appeared
before the committee, aud after admitting the
fact stated that he had given $500 of the mon
ey to aid in the election of Col. Stokes as Gov
ernor of that State, 5000 of it to other polIti-
clans, and the remainder he had devoted To
his own use in defraying the expenses of his
campaigns. 1t is charged that Mr.. Covode, oil
Pennsylvania, in 1862, appointed the son of a
political opponent, for which about $1,000 was
paid TO man named Fitzgerald. Mr.. Deweese
OF North Carolina, agreed to sell an appoint
ment, but advised with the late Mr.. Stanton.
who told him it was all wrong and to have
nothing to do with it. The further statement
Is that Dewesse finally traded it away to State
Senator Lassiter, of that State, to prevent the
latter from running against him for Congress
and to influence the passage OF railroad Job
before the North Carolina Legislature. w.
Jasper Blackman, Of Louisiana, received $500
ior both OF his cadetships, from a gentleman
IN New YORK, who sent boys to Annapolis and
West Point. who never dreamed OF living in
his district. The facts as to Mr.. Golladav are
not made public, and the particulars as to the
others named have before been stated
