CONSIDERABLE surprise is expressed in
Washington at the election Of Governor
Vance to the United States Senate by
I've Legislature of North Carolina, to
succeed Senator ABBOTT. A careful exam
%juation of the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth
Congresses, and of the first session Of
the Forty-second, show that his political
disabilities for participation in the re-
lellion have never been removed, and it
is the general opinion that Congress will
certainly refuse to relieve him now, and
lis admission to the Senate, il, therefore
regarded here by Republican Senators
t., very doubtful. 1t is supposed that
t,e friends of Ex-Governor Vance will
urge in his favor that he opposed seces-
sion until the State of North Carolina
vent out of the Union, and that during
the war he was elected Governor by the
people Of that State on a platform OPP
posed to the Confederate administration.

sH.SLL we H.sV.R n STATE TO-
LICE,

A writer in the Freeman, of Montpelier,
after an able consideration Of the various
proposed amendments to tho prohibitory
liquor law, concludes with the following
sensible remarks, TO which wo invite the
attention OF all friends of temperance;
If it is true that the prohibitory law is
not properly enforced, the cause is to be
found in the fact that public sentiment does
not favor its enforcement. This being the
case, two courses are before us-to modify
the law or to attempt to convince the peo-
plo of its propriety. viii it bo remedied
by making it still more odious to very
large class Of our people2 It is truo that
a body Of spies, aided by a modern star
chamber, might succeed for time in So
curing its better enforcement But how
long can we suppose tho people of Vermont
would endure such a revival of tho instru-
ments OF oppression, even II they were di-
rected only against liquor sellers? There
is no difficulty in enforcing ordinary Grim
inal laws by means OF the ordinary local
police. viii there be any difficulty in en-
forcing this law by the samo means when
the people really oppose it? Or is it neces-
sary to construct machinery for tho punish
mont Of what is at best a mdlum prohibitun1,
moro oppressive than we are willing to en-
ploy Tor the punishment of murder and
treasonT Is it necessary for the prevention
of this particular ofrense that the Logisla-
turo should treat tho several counties of the
State to the same laws which Congress has
imposed upon the southern States? Have
the counties of Vermont been in such re-
bellion against the State that reconstruction
laws must be passed for their benefit?
We are willing to yield TO none in our at
tachment to the cause OF temperance. But
We believe that these proposed changes will
result in creating great feeling of opposi-
tion to temperance laws, and defeat the
very objects they seek to attain. Whatever
may be the public sentiment of the State in
regard to the rigid enforcement of prohib-
itory law, there is now no disposition to
change it. The friends of that law should
be satisfied with what thoy have obtained,
and beware lest they raise the slumbering
lion of opposition.
All men of respectability and intelligence
are in favor of some restraint upon the sale
of intoxicating drinks. All such men de-
sire to prevent the great curse of drunken
ness, and if any such men are not in favor
of extreme legislation, it should be the aim
of radical temperance men to conciliatc,
rather than drive them into opposition.
Let us not refuse to profit by the history of
the temperance warfare in Massachusetts.
The adoption of the constabulary system

higher rents; when we can buy with gold
dollar but two-thrds of a yard of Brussels
carpeting, that would purchase one yard
and third in London when the Western
farmer can exchange one hundred bushels
of wheat in New York for three hundred
and fifty pounds of blank cts, but could get
seven hundred pounds-just twice as much
for the same amount of whoat in Liver
pool; people feel instnctively that they are
grossly wronged, and they know that it
proceeds from the unjust interference Of
legislators.
The fact that these are all interests Of
personal nature, coming into close relation
with the daily life and happiness of every
citizen, gives them, when classified into a
general issue, such penetrative power in
politics that it would be folly to seek to ar
rest its operation. This the more sagacous
and thoughtful of the Republican party
discover, and they arc getting ready to
shape tfrcfrz zfutttrc- cct.on by the popular
demands. There is really no other ques-
ton before the ! eoplo but this of tariff and
taxation. Finance takes its place along
with it naturally. The first thing to be

weight that oppresses it; alterward, indus
try will take start, prices will simultane-
ously recede, enterprise will seek every
possible channel for its welcome Offices
trade and commerce will come back upon
a healthy footing, and where we now have
doubt and delay we shall have assured and
permanent prosperity. The approaching
session of Congress will reveal the pres
ence of new question, and this will be it.
There is no Likelihood that it will influence
in any manner the votes of the existing
majority, yet in variety of ways they
will testify TO the near approach of
new and great issue, that will claim to be
patiently heard on its merits. The organi-
zation of the next Congress may become
identified with this ISSUE but it is certain
in any contingency, TO form the staple of
the discussions before the people in the
next general election.-Boston Post, Dec l.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1870-12-16
THE CO.uI.vG QUESTION.

Politics are to turn on the science of eco
nomical taxation next, and no banning by
partisan leaders is going to hinder its in
telligent discussion. Issues are notx1rb-
itrarily made up by dogmatizers and ide-
ologists, but spring out of the changing ne
cessities of the people. Now it is a ques-
ton of territory, now of finance, now of
the preservation of the Union, and again
of something else; but the actual popular
need always dictates what it is to be. Pol
iticians by profession no moro have the
shaping of it than If they had flourished in
n past generation. The late Revenue Re
form meeting in New York was sufIi-
cient exposition both of the urgent wants
of the country and of the real question
which which is for the future to engross
popular thought. The outlines of that
question were sketched with impressive
clearness by distinguished speakers, whose
earnestness in the discussion betokens the
sincerity of the popular conviction that
a great reform is the sole condition of re-
turning public prosperity. Everybody is
interested personally in change of the
revenue laws, and n thorough systemiza-
tion of the collection of the taxes. When
a mans boots cost six dollars and eighty
cents under n protective tariff, that cost
but four dollars and forty cents under
moderate tariff; when the exports of man
uihctured cotton goods are four times as
large under low tariff as under a high
one; when the export trade in boots and
shoes has fallen Of from 81 ,329, 900 in 1868,
o., Ia,
