THE Virginians are in trouble as tc
who is "lhe best man for United States
Senator in place of LINDSAY, and the
Virginia newspapers are discussing the
relative merits OF the candidates for the
place without much prospect of arriving
At an agreement or giving to the Legis
latlre soon TO meet q very definite
idea as to who is preferred by the peo'
pie. Opinions vary SO widely that it is
difficult to discern the popular voice,
and between HUNTER and WALKER and
WlTHERs and STUART and the host Of
other good men and true there is some
difficulty in choosing. Our voice is for
WIrHERs, and WestVirginia still pro.
duces in the old State any Of the feeling
which, surgeons tell us, the body has
for its Topped of members, we may
hope that the wishes OF the West Vir-
giuians may receive some recognition
Colonel WIrHERs is man OF undoubt-
ed courage and integrity, and is withal
possessed Of those peculiar qualities
that would enable him to reflect credit
upon Virginia as one OF her repre-
seutatives in the United States Senate,
The honor OF the State would be safe
in his keeping and his talents would
give him in the Senate that rank to
which Virginia is entitled.

THE Normal Schools received from
the State last year $4,000, The totaI
number OF pupils enrolled in these
schools was Goa, OF whom only 1919 are
classed at Normal Students," the re-
manning 405 being the ordinary free
school pupils Of the locality. The totaI
number Of graduates during the year
wss 40, though we have no means o
knowing how many Of these became
teachers in the public schools. The
State has therefore paid from the pro
ceeds Of general taxation about Sixty
Dollars Tor the tuition of each pupil re-
ceiving Normal instruction in these
schools during the past year, or abou
$40 for each graduate. The figures
look little steep in comparison will

STATE FINANCES.

IN response TO q resolution OF the
State Senate, Auditor BENNETT has
transmitted TO that body q statement
showing the amount in the Treasury to
the credit of the General State Fund"
at the close of each fiscal year from
1866 to the present time. The state
meut shows that on the Both OF Septem-
Der, 1866, the fund for State purposes
had been exhausted and S5,094.S4 had
been borrowed from and was owing to
the school fund. On the 30th OF Sep
TENDER, 1867, the debt to the school
fund amounted to s75,259.7l; in 1868
it was s60.707.3l; in 1869 it was s32,-
4S3.lS; in 1870 it was 500, 52S. "a; and in
1871 it was s56, 490.64. During all OF
this time the Radical party was in full

IT is evident from the report Of the
City Superintendent Of Public Schools
that a very considerable increase is
needed in the number Of teachers as
signed to the night schools. We hope it
may be the pleasure Of the Board Of Ed.
ucation to supply the demand. The at
tendance at the night schools shows tba
the advantages they offer are properly
appreciated by the class for whose ben
eft they are designed. The working
boys and girls must not be disappoint-
ed in this matter. Enough teachers
should be employed to give the instruc-
ton which the pupils are ready and
anxious to receive. There has been
no public measure instituted here for q
long while past that is 30 important
in its aims and 80 capable OF good re-
suits as the establishment OF the free
night schools. Certainly the anxiety
for education manifested BY those who
who have enrolled themselves as pur
pills should be literally responded to by
the Board, and every facility should be
afforded for fulfilling the promises that
have been made and gratifying the
expectations that have been aroused
The working boys and girls have man.
ifested their desire Tor instruction, now
let the Board of Education furnish the
necessary number OF teachers.

THE Cincinnati Commercial pays this
tribute to the stream that is the SUBJ
ject Of much prayer aud devotion among
West Virginians:
"The Ohio river is now the most
gracious OF streams. 1t floats coal with
a facility not known for years past, and
again puts in the shade for time the
theory that railroads may compete with
her in cheapness OF transportation. Her
freaks, however, must not be deluslye.
She will keep on swell till the
coal we laid in with excessive prudence,
at swell prices, is consumed, and then ca
priciously expose her sand-bars to the
lazy fleets of coal barges. She is a
capital water way just now, bat wont
DO to bet on. ="

Immediately after the great fire-and

weeks ago. Measles are prevailing
about town, and these cases of report.
ed smallpox may have had their ORR
gin in the fact that physicians, when
persons have been first sick with them,
have cautioned attendants of such
persons to exercise watchfulness,
scarcely knowing at an early stage of
the disorder, what might be the result
We have heard of the disease on oul
streets several times, and have gone
into the section of the village to as,
certain the truth Of these reports, at
least twice, and we are now done
hunting for the smallpox for the
present. 1t may be after us as early

The following comments from the
n. Y. Herald, upon the facts elected
by the Credit Mobilier Investigating
Committee, whether justifable or not.
at least possess the merit Of being
witty. While awaiting a further de-
velopment of facts by the two COM
mittees, we venture the expression
that Notwithstanding the precedents
to the contrary established by our
Democratic brethren, political par
tisanship should not shield any of
the guilty. Let the Republican par
ty properly punish all offenders with
out regard to their political position or
preferences, and thus establish prece-
dent which the Democrats in all their
years Of ascendency, and with all their
many opportunities, have never had
the courage to do.-ED.

ABOLITION OF THE FRANKING
PRIVILEGE,

In accordance with the following
act, the Franking Privilege of Con-
glessmen is abolished after July LIST,
1873, subject to the Presidents appro-
val.
"Re it enacted, &C., That the frank
ing privilege be and the same is here
by abolished from and after the LIST
day of July, A. D. 1873; and that
thenceforth all official correspondence
of whatever nature, and other mailable
matter sent free or addressed to any
officer of the Government, or person
now authorized to frank such matter,
shall be chargeable with the same rates
of postage as may be lawfully impos-
ed upon like matter sent by or address
ed TO other persons provided, that
no compensation or allowance shall
now or hereafter be made to Senators
or members and delegates of the House
of Representatives for account of pos
tage."
This measure has for some time
past been recommended by the Post
master General and other high Off
Gals, and DANGEROUSLY demanded by a
respectable part of the people and
press. Similar acts have before been
under consideration by Congress, but
till now have come to naught. BY an
examination of the act it will be seen
that not only Congressman but the
President, Cabinet, Ministers and
Department officials of every grade
will, after the act takes effect, be re-
quired to pay the same rates of pos
tage as other people, without regard
to the nature or object Of their COM
munications sent by mail.
The action of Congress in passing
this bill, will no doubt, be heartily ap-
proved by the people, whether justly
so, we question somewhat. The cost of
this privilege to the public, may have
been much over-estimated, and prop
erly exercised, we think, might well
have been continued. 1t has no doubt
been its abuse, which has brought the
law granting the privilege into disre-
spQct and caused it's repeal.

For The Essex County Herald

TOT tHt ILSSGN SOlllIy I1crdlus
Mr.. EDITOR Il have now received
three copies of the HERALD, and am
pleased with its social, home-hke
looks. 1t is our first home paper,
and the solid men of Essex should
aid you in making it strong and sue
cessful, ever standing for the right,
the true, and the good. AS County,
perhaps we have not much to boast
of, neither have we much to be asham-
ed of. know we have wrongs to be
righted, vices to be corrected, and
morals to be improved. And the
two great powers, and educators are
the Pulpit and the Press. The latter
reaches the hooks, and the corners of
earth, and is the great power for good
or evil. May the HERALD then speak
strong words for temperance, for edu-
cation, for the morals of our County.
l know we are, and have been stig-
matized, as q County by the rest of
the State, as if prehaps we were the
south west corner of Labrador, or an
Island in the Atlantic Ocean. But
Thompsons Geography is more explic-
it in defining us, and says we are stu
ated ia "the extreme North east cor
ner of the State" The Grand Trunk
II. R., the birth and growth of Island
Pond, and more, the talent, eloquence,
and gentlemanly bearing of our ex-
Lieut.. Governor has had much to do
IN enlightening the State in regard to
our geographical and intellectual po-
sition. Some years ago good mis-
sionary came from the South to teach
and enlighten us, commencing at West
Concord he travelled up the Moose
River through CRANKY, Victory, and
East Haven, arriving at Island Pond,
he wrote, that he had "traveled
through lonesome wilderness, not en-
tirelg of sin either. Another who
Travelled up the Connecticut, wrote to
Boston that there were "more Chur-
ches, and Sabbath Schools in Essex
County, according TO the population
then in Boston,. Secretary Adams,
in one of his reports says, "the
Schools ofEssex County stand second
to none in the State. We have abund-
ance OF Nature, and not so much OF
Art, and the next decade will see a
great change in the former and an in
crease in the latter. The lonesome
wilderness may become a fruitful
fleld". May the HERALD wake the
echo, that shall come floating back to
us from all parts of the State and
County, and abide with us in cultivat-
ed fields, in improved water power in
the hum of busy life, in very much
ll.......l,..

AFTERNOON.

Z. A. Jameson of Irasburg read
a paper upon "Butter Making" The
pail system was fully discussed and
its advantages over pens and watts for
large diaries spoken of. 1t was a

be given entire in our agricultural
papers. Adjourned for evening ses-
sion.

EVENING.

A paper on wintering sheep was
read by Hazen Vaughn Esq, of
Woodstock. 1t was practical and
instructive. He hit the prominent
points in the case of sheep. And
one of these is beginning to feed
early. To let them be until snow falls
is the cause Of much loss. Another
main point is change of feed. Even
the best if continued all the time, is
not so good as a variety. Even from
good hay to straw is a good change,
and few roots are very beneficial.
To be careful of over feeding is an
other important thing. They should
not receive more at time than they
will clean up. Keep salt before them.
But if it has been kept from them be
very careful in beginning or they will
kill themselves. IT they have it all
the time they will not eat too much.
Salt will prevent the disease known
as the "stretches. 1t keeps the
bow els loose.
This meeting was we'll attended
throughout and was one of great
interest.
MEETING IN ESSEX COUNTY.
The Board contemplates holding q
meeting at Lunenburgh in about two
weeks where these discussions will be
continued and many new papers pre-
sented, and addresses made, by those
interested IN Agriculture. AS Essex
County is small she has sometimes
been neglected. Now as the State
Board Of Agriculture, etc, see fit to
give us meeting let all our farmers
attend, giving such experiences as
are of interest, thus showing to our
Board n hearty welcome.
