MILK IN NEW YORK.
The Tribune's expose Of milk -adulteration
in New York is.pne Of the most thorough
pieces of journalistic service that paper has
ever rendered to the public. II gives the
sources from which the milk reaches the
city ana the amount over each road. going
beyond the milk-men to the farmers aud
giving fully the position OF the latter. 1t
brings out clearly the fact that ADJUDICATION
is robbery Of the milk-producer The
dealers use wate: and then tell the farmers
that the market is overstocked with milk.
They thus keep the price of milk in the
farmers hands far below what it cost. to
the consumer. They also discount the
farmers bills for alleged thinncss of milk,
which they have themselves walered previ-
Gus to the test. Another serious tax ON the
producer IL the cans, which tho miik-men
are continually beating in, or losing. Many
of them are thrown of the cars, and we
should get the Impression that the Erie
road is Just fenced with tumuli of tin cans
for miles oht of New York.
a severe charge is also preferred against
the Orange county butter factories, that

is out, t. parties in New York, who with
chalk etc., soon transform it into the gen
uine article fresh from the COW. The Trb.
une sent reporter with well known
business man for witness, to watch the
milk-men at the depots aud on the roads to
the city. The Erie men water theirs while
on the ferry-boatS before light in the morn
ing. Then follows II long list OF milk-men
who were seen TO do this aud whose milk
upon analysis has been found to be too
wet. Those who get their milk at the 18th
street depot empty their 40 gallon cans
into cans holding go or so gallons, aud
which mysteriously becomes full OF
course 20 or 40 gallons OF water was poured
into them in the first place. Other lists of

and Of those whose milk is poor are given,
and also an expose from personal inspec-
tor of the Brooklyn swil-stables.

the practice under the system of annual
elections?
Our views IN the matter are well embod-
led in the Article from the burlington Free
Press which we copied last week, entitled
"Onc Term or Two" Personally, as be-
tween Mr.. Stewart and Mr.. Billings, VIC
have no feeling or interest in the natter
We recognize no "clam" of any individu-
al upon the Office on the score of wealth.
position or talents, nor do we acknowledge
the obligation to "endorse" a previous adj
ministraton; but on principle we are OPP
posed to this modern practice of constant
rotation in office, regardless alike of the tit
ness of candidates and the interests of the
public,-a practice which is fast convert
ing us into a nation of Office seekers, and
which, in our humble opinion, il the di-
rect and legitimate cause of much of that
political degencracy and corruption which
Is the curse of our age and country. Ro-
tation in office is well when rotation means
improvement; but resorted to merely for
the purpose of comforting title of honor
upon an aspiring citizen, or rs Il means of
obtaining new division of the spoils Of
office, it is not only erroneous as a princi-
pie, but hazardous in practice, source of
corruption and forerunuer of decay.
The 'cvil service reform so ardenty
hoped for, will prove an inadequate RENEE
dy for the political ills which atllict the ma
ton, if the people fail to carry out the prin
ciple upon which it is based in their State
and local elections, and maketitness, capac-
| ity and experience, rather than party SER
vice, the test of official qualification.
Vermont, however, has hitherto been
more fortunate in the character of her polt
ical leaders, than many of her sister states
and her people keepa sharp eye upon those
whom they charge with the public trusts ;
moreover, the duties of her chief magis-
trate-unike those which devolve upon
many of her other oflicers-are compare
lively light and easy to be understood and
performed by men of common ability.
Hence the custom of choosing new Gov
ernor every second year has worked little
or no apparent harm to the public interest;
and ii is not easy TO convince those who
see in the adoption Of the four years rule
the blightng Of a future possibility for
themselves or some one of their friends,
that any call exists for such an innovation
upon time-honored custom. "If" say
they, "the two years rule has been main
tanned thus long without serious incouven-
fence, not even being laid aside during the
continuance of the great civil war. what
need have we now to extend the term of
our Governor TO four years ?" and, save in
the general principle referred to, it is not
easy to find a reply. Plainly, the senti-
ment in this vicinity, as hear it expressed
by many of ou- leading men, is decidedly
in favor of the one term principle, and
mistaken though we fear such action will
eventually prove - its adoption by the
Montpelier convention appears extremely
probable.

the liberty to copy:
AT Bratteboro, the procession formed

commandery of Knights Templar as escort.
In the line were post Sedgwick No. OF
the Grand Army, Wantastiquet lodge of
odd Fellows, Columbian lodge Of Masons,
children from the public schools, Sunday
schools, and citizens. \ delegation from
the 9th New York, Jim Fisk's regiment,

play was profuse, and James Fisk, Jr.' =

right of secession2 In all the country,
there Is not Il single man whose election
would be iraught with greater peril to the
Union. There is not Southern State
which can roll up a Democratic majority
which could not also carry, rs an issue be-
fore the people or the Legislature, propo-
sition for secession, provided it could be
secured without blood. No greater ca
lamity could heGal this nation than to have

President who is pledged against all CO.
ercive measures TO preserve the Union,
provided oaly the forms of law are observ-
ed in the demand for separation. In the
event of Greeley's Endorsement at Balti-
more, this phase of the Presidential ques-
ton would become pre-eminent, and in
proportion rs the rebels were won to his
support Loyal Democrats would be driven
to vote the Republican ticket. The very
thing that made him strong at Cincinnati
and will probably strengthen him at Balli-
more, will insure his overwhelming defeat
at the polls, for if there Is one principle up
on which the American people are deter
mined more than upon any other, it is up
on the perpetuity of the Union.
