The Legislature at the Reform School.

On Friday afternoon of last week the
L-gisltture, 20 ether with His Excellency
overnor Converse, visited the Reform
school at Waterbury, where they spent Il
couple Of hours ms pectiDg the premises,
seeing the BOYS at work in their workshops,
and witnessing and listening to school exer-
cises 10 the chapel, including singing. TIE
ew building which has been erected within
The past two years, and which the readers OF
the freeman will remember was 80 fully
described in it's columns last spring, is a
model OF neatness and cOnVsniences, ev dent
II = AIMED by some one thoroughly conversant
with tie uses for which it was constructed !;
and that credit belongs, as we understand,
mainly to Mr.. Fairbank, the popular and
Eff lien superintendent. 1t was evident from
the satisfaction expressed by the visitors as
they passed through and around the prem
ises that they believed the State had made
"a good investment in making so SUBJ tantial
an outlay, which all could see for themselves
wac proving beneficial to the boys sent there,
AS well as to the communities that had been
Oh liged to send them.

The FrankIng Privilege.

We notice that our State Senate, last week
laid upon the table resolution instructine
the Senators and requesting the Representa-
tives from this State in Congress, to worN for
the repeal of the Thanking privilege; and the
Senate in this, seems opposed to one plank
Of the Republican national platform.
1t is undoubtedly true that some good rea-
sons can be given for law allowing some
public matter to pass through the mails with
out prepayment Of postage. Official com
mendations from the various departments 81
the government are matter that may as well
20 free, inasmuch as the government, By
paying postage on such matter, would be
only paying postage to itself.
1t is probably true, also, that the abolition
Of the Thanking privilege would not prove 50
large a saving to the government as has beer
claimed by the Postmaster General, or b,
of the matter which is now sent free woulc
not then be sent at all, and contractors woul,
carry the mails for little if any less thar
now.
Still, there seem to be good reasons for al
essential modification Of the present law
There is no good reason why member 0
Congress should receive or send letters f e
Of postage; or, if any such reason seems t.
any one to exist, the better way to accom-
plish the result is to appropriate a sum o
money directly TO the member to pay postag,
with. The difficulty with the present law !.
that it is continually used as a cover for al
sorts of illegal Thanking. Tons and tons 0
political documents, newspapers and othe
matter, have been sent through the mai
during the present canvass under Torgec
franks; indeed the majority of political mat
ter. on both sides, sent through the mai
franked, bears forged frank. This canno
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1872-10-23

well be prevented under the present law, or
indeed, under any law which gives the privi-
lege of ranking to any one except officers
the government And this is not only
done, but circulars, advertisements and other
matter are sent all over the country, some
times under a genuine, and oftener, perhaps,
under a forged frank and as long as the
envelopes are sealed, postmasters have no
knowledge of the fraud. In this way the
government is deirauded of revenue that it
ought to have, and dishonest men get the
advantage Of the cheat
There ought to be some remedy for this
vii, and the only practicable remedy seems
to be either an entire abolition, or great
curtailment of the franking privilege.

Hon. LUXE r. PoLAND.-The special
Washington correspondent of the Boston
Journal. under date of Oct. 18th, sends the
following despatch TO that paper:
Hon. Luke P. Poland of Vermont is a
memb,r of the House of Representative. As
such he excites the hate of certain local mol
ticians here, who made charges against the
district government but were unable TO sus-
tain them before the district commits, .
These fellows have sent to Vermont written
statements deiaIniug the character and stand
ing OF Judge Poland. This is not the first
attempt of this kind. The same squad of
villains have busily circulated the basest
SANDERS oil some OF the noblest men in Con-
gress, against whom their party msIigpanoe
has been aroused. The people of JUDGE
Pols nd's district need pay no heed to the
charges. Their representative is fully res
pecsed AID hopored here.

These figures show how uneven u thing
education Is, even in the same town, and 1t
does not follow by any means that the
highest cost comm nds the hest article
The Secretary recommends q state proper
ty tax of 20 per cent, and n tax of 81 per
poll each town to receive a disributive
share on condition that 1t raise one ELF as
much by tax on town FIVE per cent. of the
whole state tax to be set apart for books
of reference aud apparatus, one half of
balance to be distributed on school popu-
lation, and one half on total attendance
balance OF expense to be betrayed by local
tax.
With some further remarks relative to
school books, and the best and most econon-
ical way 10 furnish them, with not very
complimentary disclosures as to the scarcity
of apparatus, dictionaries and globes in
most school-houses, the speaker closed a
most interesting dissertation on a subject
of such vital Importance to the State that
it has no peer. Whatever may be thought
of the present school system, or OF the
State Board of Education, of any other
part of its machinery one thing Is certain,
toe present Secretary Of the Board has
studied his subject and devoted his time
assiduously to it, until he has become
master OF the situation. 1t is for the
Legislature, with the cooperation of the
people, to say how far his suggestions OF
improvement shall be carried out, and it
is evident as the plainest axiom that Yer
mout has not thus far made that, progress
with her district schools that entities her
to front rank in the cause of popular edu-
cation. Her position heretofore has not
been a bad one, and 1t has been gorifed
to an extent bordering upon vanity. Bat
that Is not sufficient for the present day
and generation. States still IN their in
fancy have made greater strides in per
fecung their school systems, and as the
world moves forward in that direction,
Vermont must move reo, or she will truly
be - left out in the cod

For the Freeman.
The Vermont Asylum for the insane

welfare of any class of unlortunates De-
tokens healthful and improving state OF
nublic sentiment. And it Is to be hoPeo
that this topic will have more than day 5
discussion and make a sensation Tor many
days.
DIR. Billiard has done the State great
service in his recent report as Commissioner
of the Insane. 1t could be desired, perhaps
that a report fuller in details had been given
But it is apprehended that his words Will
awaken the attention of the people, and lead
to some radical changes in the conduct Of
this Asylum, or to the establishment oil
another institution.
It's an astouning fact that the Vermont
Asylum for the Insane Is pirate instltu-
tntion, having S235,O0o of property, (cost
vaIuel receiving State patronage, but utterly
without State control. The owners and
managers are not to be faulted for their
ownership To have built up such prop
erty is simply a grand financial success
ANY corporation has right 10 accept State
aid conditionally or Internationally, when
rendered And the form darce , OF ap-
nointing a commissioner" with authority
only TO :. hear and see and report has been
a valuable compliment to the corporation.
