cumbrous. Formerly the schools were
subject to the whims of town or dlS-
trict. and oftentimes to the penurious-
ness of a single taxpayer. Then there
was no responsibility resting upon any
body. All legislation was controlled
each year in the interest of sections OF
the tate or factions of the people.
Now the legislation is marked out by
the Board, and in the interests OF the
whole people. Laws are perfected and
made to act eouitably for all. The dis
tricts conduct their affairs better and
with less expense since they became re-
sponsiblc for their acts, and are com
PEELED to make annual reports. Every
school in the State enjoys equal adyant-
ages and the quickening impulse that
has been given to the people, children
and schools, is worth ten fold every dol
lar that has been paid to support the
Board of Education.
The article has one merit, it does give
the secretary due credit for his labors,
and that he is a valuable officer, that he
has circulated among the schools com
mnjcated ideas and Information to the
people, and made a meritoriOus report
embracing school statistics each year.
This Is all true. but how could this eff
cirut and valuable officer perform the
work. had he not the Board of Educa-
tion back of him to sustain and ruC0ur-
a@r him. The writer forgets that all
the expense. except few hundred dol
lars to pay the mileage and per diem Of
the Board, is on account Of the Sec
rrDay's services, and that the abolition
Of the Board would not, probably. save
the State five hundred dollars. The
writer advocates secretary or supcrin-
tmdent of education and the abolition
of the Board We do not believe in the
one man power, the educational interests

admonishes me it is time to make the
second semi-annual report, | agreed to
make, of the little boy, now III years
old, who sells the Morning HERALDs in
this place. As you know when he took
the papers he had fifteen regular sub
scribers now he has thirty-two He
has saved, and NV has at interest, one
hundred and ten dollars, besides buying
several things for himself and mother
When he brought me the money on the
5th to pay for his September papers, he
wished me to say to you he had been
buying some coal for his mother, and
was, for last month, a little late in paying
Besides the money earned and saved. he
has laid a good foundation for a correct
business man. All the assistance he
now requires is for some one to write
for more papers, and send the pay.
Let me ask the same question | did
six months ago: "Is there not, in some
other town in Vermont, little cripple
boy, who has a poor mother, that can
sell THE HERALDs, save as much money
as this boy, and lay as good founda-
ton for business man 2" If there is.
| know there is some one in that town
that will help him, and | think you will
let him have the papers to sell.

ed, are i'll an exceedingly good and eff
cient condition and equal to that of any
railroad in New England. We are also
assured that they are getting into posi-
| ton to increase their income and dinin-
ish theirexpenses, that the contracts with
the National Despatch Company have
not been a source of loss to the roads,
| and it is anticipated by the Trustees
that the rates paid to the Despatch Com

| the Trustees estimate that the future
earnings of the combined roads will
soon be sufficient to pay the expenses of

which they would expect soon to pay

The important and practical question
is, how is this debt to be funded?
The Trustees recommend that it should
be funded in bonds issued by the Trus-
tees having thirty years to run. at per
! L
issued under a decree Of the Court of
Chancery Of Vermont from which the
Trustees derive their appointment, which
gives them power to issue 50, 800, 900
thirty year bonds, at s per cent interest,
and provides that S790'0OO of them
should be left with the New England
Trust Company. as security for that
amount of bonds due in 1875, leaving

which is now required to pay the float
ing debt, and this it is which the stock
and bond holders and the creditors of
the company are invited to subscribe
for.
The decree authorizing this issue of
bonds provides as follows:
And it is further ordered and deCred
that the notes issued under this decree
shall constitute lien and charge upon
the trust property and the earnings
thereof under the control Of said Trus-
tees and Managers; and in case said
Trustees and Managers fail to pay said
notes and interest thereon rs it becomes

The New York Tribune, some two weeks
before the New Hampshire election, predict
ed that the Democrats would lose not less
than thousand votes, in four or five of
the leading manufacturing towns of that
State, by adopting and circulating the docu-
ments and placards of the Free Trade
League. Its prediction has been more than
verified, as appears from the vote of Man
chester, Dover, Nashua, Somersworth and
Claremont, where the Republican net gain
has been 1913 votes. This shows the
popular drift on the subject of " fee trade
and British manufacturing rights" which
doctrine the leading Democratic journals of
the country demand to have engrafted in
the Cincinnati "Liberal Republican" plat
form.
A resolution was introduced in the Vir-
ginia State Senate, on Saturday, by Senator
Greene, of Petersburg, requesting our
State Representatives, and instructing our
State Senators in Congress, to vote for the
present duties on iron, coal and salt. This
resolution was referred to the Committee
on Resolutions, and we hope to sec it
promptly reported to the Senate, and
passed by both Houses, as the true senti-
ment of Virginia on the subject Of protec-
ton. We cannot indicate our fixed posi-
ton in reference to this question at too
early a day.
