The Next Governor.

Although about six months are yet to be
deducted from the calendar before another
gubernatorial election takes place in Yer
mont, some Of our State exchanges in a
provident way, have already begun to cast
about for the next :. candidate" Perhaps
under the biennial arrangement, prolonged
forecast in proportion to the extended term
OF HIS ExcelIency, the Governor, is in order,
but whilst we have so worthy and efficient
an executive, fully sustaining the dignity
and power Of the State, it is difficult to work
ones self up to much anxiety as 70 the
- coming man - before the present incum-
bent has entered upon the last quarter or
90 home stretch : Of his official term.
The items which have suggested a refer
encc to this subject on our part at the present
time, have named the Hon Julius Converse
Of Woodstock as the successor Of Gov.
Stewart Mr. Converse would have been a
fit man for Governor of Vermont at any
time during the past quarter Of a century,
and if all ft men could be elected to that
Office, Ills present position would not probably
be far down the line. But there are circum-
stances which must control the selection Of
governors as well as the management Of more
ordinary events, and without attaching too
much jim ortance to the kind expressions of
the friends Of Mr.. Converse, by Offering or
attempting to Offer objections, we must be
allowed 70 put upon record our doubts as to
the probability Of placing him in nominal
ton as the next candidate for governor. If
the next nominating convention so viii it, we
81 an most cheerfulIy Join in according that
honor to Windsor County and TO the town of
Woodstock and We are not surprising any one
with a new name in mentioning in this con
rcctiou, Hon. Frederick Billings. The
question Of one torn - or = two terms " Is
vet to ID settled before we bow out our pres
cnt Governor, and VIXEN that Is done. and
successor is called for next fall or two years
from next fail, we should not be surprised
to fnI the people Of Vermont, or large
majority Of them, in favor Of the election Of
Mr. Billings

Nh. SuELLABARCER's SPEECH speech
Of Mr.. ShelIabarger of Ohio on civil service
reform, published on our first page, is a very
plainly stated and, it seems to US, conclusive
argument in favor Of that measure. The
out-eropping Of old fashioned straight for
ward craftsmanship which it contains, not
only gives additional force to the high
position taken by the advocates of this re-
form. but is cheerful evidence that there yet
remains enough latent political virtue and
integrity, when aroused, to bring back the
republic to the faith, and we may hope to the
practices Of the fathers Mr. Shellabarger
dwells with much earnestness on the quota
ton from Washington's Farewell Address,
relative 70 9 the necessity ofreciprocal checks
in the exercise of political power, and it is to
be hoped that the country has not become too
entirely new-fangled to have such a recurrence
to this well considered sentiment Of wise as
well as early statesman fall without produc-
ing any effect. The repositories Of political
power, have for long time but slightly
felt these &" checks Since :. to the VIC
tors belong the spoils : doctrine was pro-
claimed, it has never lacked endorsers, and
though it has never become popular as an
axiom, in theory, in practice, it has usually
done thorough work. The country will
looG with favor upon those who take upon
themselves the duty of re-establishing some
of the old landmarks, and from long deserted
headlands, signal back to safe, though now
unfrequented channels, the pilots who en-
danger the ship of state by their wide de-
partures. To those who never read politi-
cal speeches as well as to those who do, we
can commend the remarks of Mr. Shellabar-
ger as " words fifty spoken > at time when
the countrY's need for more exalted formula
for working out the problem of party pat
ronage and official place-givipg is every day
more apparent.

Montpelier and Black River valley
Railroad

The proceedings Of the Albany meeting TO
promote the interests Of this new railroad
route, a. furnished by the Secretary, we
publish elsewhere. From those who at
tended that meeting from this section (and
We believe Montpelier had a delegation Of
sixteen prominent business men there) we
learn that there was no counterfeit in the
carncstness or determination of those present
to push this enterprise Other towns along
the line were as well represented as Montpe-
Her. and full and frank expression, not,
only Of feeling but of judgment, pointed with
uncrring certainty to further effort that
would be productive Of results That line
Of road from Montpelier through the north
ern ceLter Of the State 70 the north boundary
falls within the demands of present necss5i-
ties and future developments, is not
geographical problem, as any one can see by
glancing at a map Of Vermont. That it is
practicable superficial engineering as well
as other tests, has already decided lavorably.
What then is u hinder having the road
Nothing, bat what the people who want it,
have the power to overcome. We know very
well that the first steps towards creating a
line Of railway are more easily taken than
those farther on, but IN this case there seems
to be larger amount Of the encouraging ele-
ment and Of accumulacive resources than
usually falls to the lot Of projected roads in
Vermont. By adopting the narrow or three
feet gauge, which experience has. proved
would be sufficient in every respect, a very
large per cent. OF the cost in constructing,
equiping and operating the road would be
saved.
That the road will be built, seems as
certain any future event, dependent upon
mental and physical energy and existing
available resources can be. We understand
that steps are to be taken at once for making
the preliminary survey, and that an early
springs work will be done along the line.

The DoMrNON OF CANADA.-The observation
of the Hon. Joseph Howe. Secretary Of State
for the Provinces, in his address at Ottawa,
have disturbed the quetude of Canadian pol
itics. He is dissatisfied because England has
stripped Canada of every soldier, and is de-
termined to regard her own security as para
mount to that of her c).ony. lie cites facts
indicating that England does not ;reat her
Canadian possessions as Of vital importance
to Ler own existence, but he wants this poll
cy formally declared in order that Canada
may know what to. Mr.. Howe, also. is
alarmed that the New Dominion with / 900
600 inhabitants is left to govern half con-
tinent, while there are 40, GOO, 900 ''ambi-
tious and aggressive people" on the other
side of a frontier 1900 miles long The fu-
ture does not, in his opinion, promise to re-
move this inequality for five Immigrants

Canada-and he might have added that that
one is, in most cases, soon induced to cross
should take exception to views 50 obvious
and commonplace, or that the local press
should have suppressed the entire speech
The authorities may be satisfied that large
portion of the population do not regard an
nexation with horror, and that many more
convinced that stone walls and rifled cannon
are the worst means they could use to re-
stain the ''ambtious and aggressive neigh
bors whom the Secretary fears.-Nelg York

NATIONAL BUREAU OF MIGRATIoN.-At tie
meeting holden at Philadelphia on the even
ing Of March Ist w. F. Parker presiding.
Horace Greeley, the first President Of the
Bureau, gave a concise account Of the forma-
ton and experience Of the Union Colony in
Colorado and also Of the advantage Of as
ISOLATED capital and labor accruing to the
working classes Of the large cities who have
formed colonies N new States and Territories
Mr.. Greeley's address was eminently practi-
cal, and gave evidence Of familiarity with
the subject, suggesting favorable locations
in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia. and
the West. Mr.. J. 7. Goodenough of Kansas
gave the details of agriculture, prices Of land
and fruit culture. 5 r. Wells followed in
illustration OF the advantages Of the colony

and Black River Railroad.

An adjourned meeting vas held at Albany
in favor of this enterprise on the 9th of
February, and as saunders Hall was not
large enough to convene the apdiense, the
Congregational meeting house was opened
for the occasion. Montpelier, Hardwick an d
Wolcott were represented by from sixteen to
twenty delegates, and other towns interested,
by substantial delegations
The previous Organization having been
considered as only temporary. Mr.. Walton
Of Montpelier moved that it be made the
permanent organization, and it was so voted.
y. NJ. Camp was appointed an additional
Secretary
Mr.. Walton nude some renlrks to show
by comparison the ability Of the people of
the several towns interested to build the
road, and prodi cted that should they do it
the increased value Of the property Of the
towns would in thirteen years amount to
more than the entire cost of the road.
Rev w. IT, Lord of Montpelier advocated
the narrow gauge road, and showed by en-
gineers estimates and by actual cost of
such roads that while the business capacity
far exceeds the work now performed by the
Vermont Central, the cost OF building, equip
ing and running will not amount to more
than two thirds as much the common
gauge road.
Mr.. Cotton OF Irasburg thought the people
of that town were of one mind in favor of
the road, and would do their full share to-
wards buiding it, He thought the freight
on lumber from that town would am1unt to
$50, 900 annually.
Mr. Tyler thought Mr.. Cotton had fairly
represented the town.
Mr. Putnam of > 0rcester spoke Of the

railroad near the lumber, and Of she great

100 would be heavily timbered as it was
at first. and referred to some instances known

ENPENsIvE CHURcH BUILpNC.-A writer
IN the New York 4drocats makes 1 strong
point against the building Of an expensive
church when the debt upon it becomes such
a burden that the excitement attending its
erection Is followed by a reaction Of depres-
sion and Encouragement tie argues that
there is little pleasure in the sight Of noble
church ediGcc when one knows that 1T the
same time the PASTORS family are on the
verge OF starvation, that clothing Is as scarce
as food, and that the children mus. - uu-
schooled- There is cruel inconsistency be-
tween $50 geo church and a minister
salary Of $500. The attempt t. raise $500
for the pastor whose diligence secured the
beautiful church was a far harder undertak-
ing than securing the last $4,000 which oro-
vided towers and steeple, stained glass and
organ. This was not So much an evidence
of ungenerousness on the part Of the people
as Of sheer exhaustion.
