The sixth and last article of amendment
to the constitution of the State proposed by
the Council of Censors and to be acted up
on by the convention of delegates to meet
at Montpelier on the Sth of June next is as
follows: Sec. L. AT the session of the GEN
eral Assembly of this State, A. D., 1850,
and at the session thereof every tenth year
thereafter, the Senate may, by vote of
two-thirds of its members, make propos-
ais of amendment to the constitution of
the State, which proposals Of amendment,
if concurred in by majority of the MEM
bers of the House of Representatives shall
be entered on the journals of the two
Houses and referred to the General Assem-
sembly then next to be chosen and be pub
lished in the principal newspapers of the
State; and if majority of the members
of the Senate and of the House of Repre-
sentatives of the next following General
Assembly shall, respectively, concur in
the same proposals of amendment, or any
of them, it shall be the duty Of the Gener-
al Assembly to submit the proposals of
amendment so concurred in to n direct vote
of the freemen of the State; and such of
said proposals Of amendment as shall re-
ceve Il majority of the votes of the free
men voting thereon, shall become part Of
the constitution of the State.
Sec. 9. The General Assembly shall di-
rect the manner of voting by the people
upon the proposed amendments, and enact
all such laws as shall be necessary to pro-
cure free and fair vote upon each amend

State Meas.

L. X. Blake, brakeman on the Vermont |
Central Railroad, was instantly killed near
Woodstock, Saturday, April End. In pass
ing from one car to another he fell and was
horribly mangled. Ho was thirty-five
wears old, unmarried, and had been on the
road two years. He has mother living at
South Vernon.
The Free Press says OF the proposed
convention of listers at Montpelier: ar
such "a convention will meet and resolve to
set the property into the lists at its true
value, according to law, the members will
find the basis one easily to be fixed. and
will be able to make lists which they can
swear to when made, without wear and
tear of conscience. Such convention and
such action we should hail as of immense
benefit to the State"
The Hon. Asa owen Adds and family
are expected to leave Nice, where
Judge Adds has been U. $. Consul for u
few years, and to return to the United
States in June. Whether Judge Adds re-
turns to his old home in st. Adams we un
derstand, depends somewhat upon the con-
diton of his family's health. They may
be obliged to locate in California, or in
milder climate than Vermont. If so, their
removal will be the source of the deepest
regret to a large circle of friends and ac-
quantances.
e. T.. Rollins, formerly of Greensboro,
now at Hyde Park, Mass, has been select
cd by the Reunion Society of the Second
VT Regiment to prepare history of that
regiment. The work is nearly completed,
will contain some 400 pages and several
fine engravings. Mr.. Rollins desires at
once to secure all the Information possible
concerning the officers and men that the
work may be completed at once. All COM
munications should be addressed to him at
Hyde Park, Mass.
At the annual meeting Of the Vermont
Historical Society held in October last, at
Montpelier, it was voted to publish, within
the present year, volume of the Society's
proceedings and papers with n complete
list of its members. For this purpose the
| Society is in need of all arrears due from its
members and will be glad to receive the
amount at once. 1t is generously proposed
to furnish the forthcoming volume gratis
to all members who have paid up to the end
of the current year. We learn that men,
bers are to be advised of the amount of
their Indebtedness by a circular issued
from the Treasurer Of the Society.
The next quarter of the the State Nor
NAL School at Castleton commences April
Goth. This will be most excellent oppor-
tunity for teachers TO enter upon course of
study. The school has recently received
very valuable contribution of twenty-one
volumes from the Smithsonian Institute at
Washington. These volumes are scarce,
and cannot be purchased. Mr.. Williams,
the efficient Principal, is indefatigable in
his efforts for the Normal School, and to
acquire for it such aids as will enable it to
offer advantages equal to any.
Mr.. Williams has been meteorologi-
cal reporter at the Smithsonian Institute
for eight years.

THE nrGuT OF PETITION.

Women as well ms men have the right OF
petition. and next June the women of Yer
mont will have an opportunity for the hrst
time since the adoption of our State Consti-
tuition in 1777, to present petitions for tlo
rirbt of suffrage to be secured to them, TO
the only legalized body in the State that has
the power to grant it, to wit: the Constitu-
tional Convention that is to meet ut Mont
pclier at that time. 1t therefore behooves
all the women of the State who wish the
ballot for themselves or for their sisters, to
have petitions signed and ready by the first
of June next, to be sent to the convention
requesting that honorable body to adopt the
amendment proposed by the council of
censors, which reads rs follows: Hereafter
women shall be entitled to vote, and with
no other restrictions than the law shall i'm
pose on men, If goodly number of the
thoughtful and intelligent women of the
State thus respectfully petition the delegates
of which that convention will be composed,
sensible and justice-loving men, friends of
freedom and equal rights, these men will
hardly be likely to refuse such reasonable
request coming from such a source. Wom-
en- of Vermont, now Is your time for action
let not the favorable opportunity pass UNI
improved. Ask for your right to the use o.
the ballot, and secure all the privileges ano
benefits it confqs on men, if you wan
| them.

.NOT B.OTE.

In reading our Vermont exchanges, and
in conversing with opposers of woman's
suffrage, we find the following reasons most
commonly urged why women should not
vote:
l. The women have not asked the men to
allow them to vote.
q They do not want to vote.
g. 1t is not right to impose duties on wom-
en- that they do not ask for nor want.
4. They would not vote if they could.
8. If the right to vote we're granted to
women, only the bad would vote, the good
would not.
G. If women voted it would make discord
in families.
7. 1t would make no difference in the re-
suit if they did vote, for the women would
vote as their husbands do.
s. 1t would be burden to poor men to
pay their own and their wives taxes, as al
so to the poor widow and the working-girl
who have all they can do to support them
selves without the additional burden of
taxpayng.
0. 1t would be inconvenient for women to
go to the polls especially in stormy weather
and bad travelling, and would Interfere
with the care of their babies.
10. If the women went to town meetings
the men would have to stay at home, do the
cooking, and take care of the children.
IL. The men behave so badly at the polls
that it is not a fit place for women.
II. If the women were to go to town
meetings and mingle with the men, they
would be unsexed and demoralized.
49, 1t is unnecessary that women should
vote.
IA. Eve misbehavod in the garden of
Eden six thousand years ago, was too ia
miliar with the serpent, therefore the wom-
en- of Vermont should eschew the ballot in
the year of our Lord 1870.
Is. st. Paul eighteen centuries ago wrote
to Timothy, saying: 81 suffer not woman
to teach, but to be in silence;'' and to tho
Corinthians, "Let your women keep silence
in the churches, and If they will learn any
thing let them ask their husbands at home"
Therefore the women of Vermont, in this
year of grace 1870, should not think of such
a thing as going to town meeting and vot-
ing with the men.
10. II is a reform against nature, de-
parture from woman's sphere
II. Those who advocate the cause are
sometimes found in low company.
The above Is a concise summary of the
chief arguments against woman's suffrage,
as they have come to our notice. Let them
be closely scrutinzed and carefully weigh
ed by all the intelligent and thinking men
and women in Vermont.

EDUC.FTEO.V.1L.

The Normal and Agricultural Institute
at Hampton, Va, for raising up teachers
for the freedmen from their own people, is
one of the very best of the kind. Gen.
Armstrong, its superintendent, is peculiar
ly qualified for his work. His system is
eminently practical one, and a prominent
feature in it is his manner of training his
pupils TO selfreliance. A committee of the
American Missionary Association say oft: :
at is just the agency needed through
which benevolent individuals and the
funds Of Mr.. Peabody, now so magnificent
ly enlarged, may work. In the plan of it
nothing is wanted. To carry it out, execu-
tive ability and business talent of high
order will he needed, especially at FIRST.
These we think it now has in those at the
head of each Of its departments and we
heartily commend the enterprise TO The
confidence, to the prayers and to the beno-
factions of the good people Of the whole
country"
We gather from the statistics compiled
by the National Bureau of Education, that
the annual cost Of tuition for each pupil in
average daily attendance is in Massachu
sets Sl2.5s; New York, Sll,49; Pennsyl-
vania, 1885, Ohio, s.25; Illinois, $3.50; In

OLD AND NEW for April came in good
season, and is freighted with great varie-
ty of wares adapted to the heterogeneous
masses of minds who hail this Monthly's
arrival with high hopes and expectations.
Nor were they much disappointed, though
we have heard it whispered by one or two
critical persons that 1t does not quite come
up to the mark. The following by the ed
itor caught our eye as not unworthy of
note In the most epheme"al chronicles of
England and America much space and ma
ny wood-cuts have been required. as the
winter went by, to record the painful stag
es, and the cheerful pauses for entertain
ment, through which the body of George
Peabody was carried, month after month,
from the place of his death to The place of
his birth. A relic of heathenism thus con-
spicuous may, it is hoped, be forgotten
soon, as are most affairs relating to perish
able things. We do not care to let the pa
geant pass, however, without expressing
the hope that another century may be able
to express respect more simply.

The school district at the Centre have
appointed b. L. Mansfield, the town super
intendent, to the office of district commit
tee. It was good move. If the law would
permit him to be the committee in all the
districts, the schools would doubtless be
greatly improved. We need just such
law.

town contains the following statistical ag-
greeate: Number of families, POS; children

DEATH OF DUaALD SrEwART.-Dugald
Stewart, Of whose sickness we spoke last
week. died at his residence in Middlebury,
ON wednesday, March SOth, after brief
sickness, aged about As years. He had
been State Auditor since 1864, had held
several important offices in town, county
and state, in all proving himself trustwor-
thy and capable. He was trusted and re-
spected, for he was man of integrity.
Loyal to his country, useful TO the state,
serviceable in the town where he resided,
he had hosts of friends. By his family
and relatives, who loved him with tender
and ardent affection, his loss is felt more
than words can express, and all who knew
him. or had dealings with him, deeply feel
the loss of this worthy citizen, this good
man,
