aud to use HE engine lAIhcs, tools and
iron planer. This shop is model of
ncatness; the tools ale kept in first rate
order, and tho machinery is in perfect

OF the merits of machinery, and although
he '.nevcr learned the trade" his skill in
machine work cannot DC excelled by
many professionals. The machinist who
came from Boston to do our work paid
Mr.. Royal high compliment, and rc
marked he had never seen machine

The situation in Arkansas remains about
the same, with this distinction or differ
ence: Governor Baxter has. it is said by
the advice of the President, issued pro-
camation, summoning the legislature to-
gether, in extraordinary session, to settle
the difficulty between him and Brooks.
VIII they assemble is the next question.
Is it question for their decision or that of
the courts? BY issuing the proclamation,
Baxter assumes to be governor. If, in
pursuance of the proclamation, the legisla-
ture, or quorum thereofsAassemblc, do
they.not.pso Jacto acknowledgement Bax-
ter to be governor? Most certainly if he
is not governor, the legislature cannot
legally assemble at his call and, if they
do so assemble. their acts would he void.
Ii it is matter for the legislature to de
eide, there should be some way in which
they can act on the matter without an I'M
piled predeterminatiOn thereof. Perhaps,
if the president had given the same advice
to Brooks, and each had acted thereon.
each issuing summons for the conclavc TO
meet at the same time and place, there
might be show of legality. But we can
not see how man who is not governor can
call together legislature. If he is govern
Jr, he needs not their services. Anything,
however, with show of legality, is better
Than fraud, usurpation, civil war and blood

Senator Carpenter of Wisconsin now
stands, in effect, upon one plank of the
liberal republican platform. What con-
version is that, my countrymcn! They re-
solved upon some subject, no matter now
on what, that so long as there were differ
cnces of opinion 'wc remit the discussion
= of the subject to the people in Their Con-
I" gress districts, and TO the decision of the
Congress thereon, ocholiy free IF Easce-
" tie interference or dictation' That is
precisely the platform of the Senator
from Wisconsin on initiation. lie don't
like " Executive interference" unless it
happens to be on his side, and it, thank
heaven, don't happen TO be in this impor
tant case. We hope and trust that he may
have as good time of it as did the liberal
republicans.

ResoIred, That is cxpedient to adopt un.
form rules and requirements for the gov
eminent Of agents
Two or three forms of commissions for
liquor agents, which incorporated rules
for the government of agencies, we're of.
fered for the consideration of the conyen.
ton. After considerable discussion and
careful deliberation, the following require
ments were substantially adopted, many of
them being simply an exposition of statute
law.
list. That definite bargain for amount
of salary be made between the agent and
the sclectmen.
I'd. That no profits or percentage shall
be part of such salary or be received by
the agent.
Sd. That no liquors shall be sold except
at prices fixed by the seectmen.
4th That no liquors shall be sold by the
glass, or drank at the agency.
9th. That an accurate account must he
Kept by the agent, of the kind and quan-
tty Of the liquor sold, the name of the pur-
chaser his residence if he does not live
within the town, The books TO be open at
all times to the inspection OF the Commits
sioners, the Board of Civil Authority, and
also that the reasonable request of any cit
'sN" W 'N""iiiN 'itill SllOulu nOI pc UlSrc-
gardcd.
9th. The purpose for which any person
obtains liquor must be ascertained, and in
formation of any fraud in obtaining it con-
veyed at once to the proper officer for pros
ecution.
9Th. That all agents must make quarter
" reports to the Commissioner of the amount
and character of his sales.
1t was then voted to informally require
bonds of the agent, as the law allows, for
n faithful discharge o: his duty under the
law The amount of these bonds is fixed
at 5000.
Geo o. Boyce was appointed commit
tee 10 procure the printing of the neces-
sary blanks, and r. Whittemorc to prepare
form for quarterly report
The convention then adopted the follow
ing resolutions and adjourned:
Resolred, That as n rule, the appoint
ment of druggists as agents for the sale of
liquor under the law is inexpedient
Resotced, That the friends of temper
ance in Montpelier have our thanks for
their attendance and interest in our delib-
erations.
ReSolred, That the thanks of this CON
vention are due the Central Vermont Rail-
road, for the courtesy extended in giving us
return checks.
A number of gentlemen were present du-
ring the day, by invitation of the conven-
ton; Charles ii. Heath, w. G. Ferrin, j.
W. Clark, H. ID. Hopkins. Judge Tilden
of Barre, A. C. Brown and others.
In many ways this convention can not
fail of valuable results, both to the Com
missioners, and to the people and the cause
of temperance. An interchange of IDEAS
experiences, the production of uniform
plans and systems of working in this re-
sponsibe Office created by our laws, will be
valuable.
This was the first convention of the sort
ever held in the state, but we presume will
not be the last.

and r. Whit:emore Secretary
After organization, and preliminary to
the real work of the convention, such of
the commissioners rs had previously had
experience in the Office, proceeded to give
their experiences in the duties of the office,
the difficulties attending the execution of
those duties. In these discussions, Messrs.
Wicker, Whittcmore, Squires and Boyce
took prominent part, and contributed large
ly to the ability of the convention to reach
uniform results.
The main topic of the morning discus
sions was how Jar it was best to recognize
the will of local majorities, in regard to
establishing an agency.
1t was agreed that as far as possible the
law contemplated the appointment of
liquor agent in every town. On the other
hand it was conceded that in a great many
cases public sentiment, small demand, or
other circumstances required of the COM
missioner, at least, sound discretion, and
perhaps that in many cases it was best that
no agent should be appointed And all
agreed that no rule of procedure could be
established in regard to this, which could
or should be invariably followed.
After dinner the convention re-assembled
and proceeded to business. The following
resolution was offered by Mr.. Squires, and
adopted:
