THE UNIFORMITY OF TEXT BOOKS.

This evruiug the Committee ON Educa Oh
gave hearing on uniformity OF text books
Mr.. Stone, of your city, stated that the teach
ers of the State were opposed to it, and cited
the State Convention held here as proof OF
1t; that the Legislature of last year reported 1t
inexpedient; that the press are not as reported
in favor of the scheme; if they were they did
not frequently indicate public opinion on the
subject. He referred to the practical results of
uniformity in California as against the system.
He maintains that by uniformity the State
will lose the benefits of all improvements He
wouid not have in his school room many books
published ten years since. In regard to cost,
he states that Bath gets books cheaper than
Vermont. He SAID that the cause that books
were so high was because of the rings; that
town uniformity could correct that He said
that the multiplicity of text books was stu
pendous evil, robbing the children of their
birth right This could [not] all Re remedied
Upstate uniformity. Mr.. Stone re marks were
latterly quite personal He urged the aboli-
ton of school districts.
Mr.. Pullen offered bill to enforce town I'M
iformity
Ill. couHoOu duSWcTeu MI. OLOue. he urged
that most of the agents here against uuiform-
ty are well paid. The people and the teachers
demand uniformity, and as it affects the inter-
ests of Maine the bill should be presented and
passed. Our books cost too much. There are
too many of them. The poor people feel the
burden heavily. Some gentlemen showed a
little temper. The interest is increasing and
the publishers are leaving no stone untnrned.
Mr.. johnson is using all his influence for the
measures.
Several others spoke.
TEMPERANCE.
There was also hearing by the special Tenn
perance Committee. The Buzzell bill was con-
sidered. Mr.. Langley, of Greene, favored the
bill defeated last year allowing one man to
make complaint, and for officers to be author
lied to hold liquors until warrant can be OBJ
tanned.
L. d. Hubbard, Of Berwick thought the law
we'll enough and favored its enforcement.
The fixing of penalties for municipal officers
for not enforcing the law and the change Of
the Constitution so as to make the sheriffs ap-
pointive officers was advocated by G. j. Talbot,
of Wilton, and others.

We are inclined to believe that the bill,
in its design, contemplated fraud--that
it was designed to verify Akerman's
statement that with fair election the
State would give 10000 radical msjori-

the prudence and determination Of the
conservative white people Of Georgia ;
too strong faith in the honesty and in
tegrity Of the blacks, 10 believe that the
former could not prevent, or that the
latter can be induced to cast more votes
than they are entitled TO. There is but
one other mode Of concentrating the
