rudely interrupted on Sunday even

glaring at each other a few moments,
sprang at each other, and before the

their friends and then left the

TheNew York s,us mentions I'll,
fact that Oregon has elected the frst
member Of tho next Congress, and
pays the people Of this State q high
compliment for having chosen a
Congressman who is known to be
opposed to Grants present Admins
tsation as we'll as to his reelection.
That paper also alIudes to the fact
that the campaign for the election of
members Of the next Congress has
how fairly commenced throughout
the various States, and that discussion
has begun in all quarters in regard
to candidates; severaLmembers of the
present House have written letters
declining to run again; a few nomi-
nations have already been made; and
. largo crowd Of aspirants have their
eyes turned skyward, intently watch
ing the drift of the clouds.
In addition to its ordinary duties
tho next House may have to elect a
President; and certainly it ought to
be Of character to do something to
elevate the tone Of Congress. It is
therefore Of unusual Importance that
tho people rigidly examine the quail
fication Of candidates for the new
House.
We will mention few tests which
ought to be applied and in q most
risld manner. No salary-grabber
should be reelected. Nor should
any man who lodged the vote or
voted on the wrong side in the pro
tracted struggle of this session for
the repeal of the salary law. II any
oil these offenders attempt to obtain
seat in the next House the people,
irrespective OF party, should unite to
defeat them. The most of the pres
ent members who are declining a re- VI
nomination are involved in tie salary o
grab. They act wisely IN thus eyad-
ing retribution at the polls. "

SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.

We last week remarked that the sugges.
ton Of Hon. IL. H. Powers, of Morrisvillc,
for speaker of the house of representatives,
seemed to meet with pretty general favor
with the state press That favor during the
past week has increased until il the news
papers of the state reflect the mind of our
newly-elected representatives, his selection to
that position may be set down as almost an
assured fact
Mr. Powers is man eminently qualified
for the position. His executive ability and
rapidity will tend to promote the rapid trans
action of business. The people are in favor
of short sessions, and more depends upon the
promptness aud cxecutivcness Of the speak
er, in securing such, than upon any other
one thing. These qualities Mr.. Powers pos
sesses.
1t will be hardly necessary to tell Yer
monters who he is. His record is too well
known. He has been in both houses of the
legislature. In the Senate two years ago he
generally occupied the chair in the absence
of the president. He was a member of the
constitutional convention in 1870, aud was
chairman of the committee of the whole most
of the time, thus occupying the chair large
share of the time while the amendments were
being discussed. We have named only few
of the capacities in which he has served the
public and the state, and will only add that
We sincerely hope so able man may be
chosen speaker, "Spunky Lamoille has
furnished governors, congressman, judges,
&C., but VIC will not grudge her further hon.
ors so long as she can furnish for their re-
cipients men of such ability as Hon. II. IL.

Speaking of the death Of Fred. Field,
whose body was found in the lake at New.
port, as reported in last weeks FARMER, the
Express gives the following very sound tenn
perance talk
There may or may not have been blows
inflicted, but there is no doubt that he met
his death ut tho hands OF murderers. Mt the
hands Of rum-sellcrs who have dealt him the
deadly poison and thus robbed him of his
hard earned substance. Let the conscicnces
of those answer tho question, who Is the
murderer? Is this no warning to such who
are daily, slowly yet surely numbering their
fellow menP Is there no warning to others
who are being thus daily murdered, willing
victims, and rapidly hurrying to Just such or
n worse fate than that which has overtaken
this unfortunate victim? Who was the MUIR
dcrorP
The precepts above are good, but their
force is considerably marred by displayed
advertisement, in another column of th,
same paper, of the greatest variety o
choice liquors in the Eastern Townships.
You get your money for that advertisement
we suppose, Bro. Camp, and the rum-selle
gets his from the drinker. May not you
share possibly be the price of blood, as wei

ADVANCE PAYMENTS.

In consequence of the extra burden inn
posed upon publishers by the new postage
law we have decided to adopt the advance
payment style of business, requiring ad-
vance payment on all subscriptions, and
stopping all papers when subscriptions expire,
unless n renewal is made. We begin now
by requiring all new names entered upon
our books to be paid in advance, and by
giving notice that from and after the FIRST day
of January, 1873, all papers will stop when
the time has expired, unless a renewal is
made. Existing contracts are to be fulfilled
according to agreement, but no new ones to
be made except in the direction of advance
payments. The difficulties of making this
important change are many, but it is certainly
the right system of newspaper business, aud
we launch out upon it with the hope tina,
every true friend Of the FARMER will support
US in doing it. In another place will be
found the terms made to comply with the
new order of things.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

Editor Vermont Farmer
The dismal howl in Brother Joseph's pa
per Of the ninth is just what might be ex-
pected from the politicians when the people
are independent enough to vote AS they feel,
and what astonishes them is that the people
have that independence and dare to exercise
it. Now that the masses will no longer do
their bidding and vote to order, they are bd-
rated, and the Good Templars and Patrons
are placed below the Ku KluX. But these
q God Templars and Patrons this time hap
pen to be Vermonters who don't scare so ca
sy, and can't be brow beaten and driven, and
the result will be that they will have to
unite in self.defense flor any one can do that
in self-defense which he would not attempt
otherwise) and remember these things.
"Looked at in this light, the defeat Of
Judge Poland is the indeliblo disgrace" &c
Looked at in any light, his nomination was
a shame and disgrace which could not be
borne except in the manner it was donc-by
his overwhelming defeat, aud every honest
American will feel that the right thing has
been dobe, and will thank the treemen Of tn,
second district for the noble stand they hay,
taken.
The miserable attempt to couple the over
throw Of Willard with the defeat Of POLAND
sh ould be treated as it deserves. The over
throwal Of Willard moved Vermont deepe
than anything had done before within tn,
last fifty years, and the same thing 1.-THE eau
Gus system) that accomplished this secure,
the nomination OF Poland, to which the PEG
pie replied in their mighty vengeance AM
sent Poland to everlasting defeat,

Special protection in the revenue tariffs for
certain branches of industry is n settled pol
icy Of government and instances are often
brought to our notice where local taxes are
RENTED for term OF years to manufactur-
ing enterprises, as a means Of drawing and
retaining capital. This is well manuiac-
lures bring prosperity to a community Of
farmers Bat it is poor rule that will
work only one way, so why not encouraged
better system of agriculture by RENTING
the taxes on the best cultivated fields 2 We
think such thing might be done with both
profit and credit to the Green Mountain
State. Much has been done by the agricul.
tural societies to stimulate better systems Of
farming, in the way of premiums on farm
crops, and it would do no harm to increase
the amount Of those premiums. But these
prizes are only open to a few of the best.
Let the state relieve from taxation every
acre of ground which produces three tons Of
hay, 30 bushels OF oats, 800 bushels of po-
tatoes, Or such crops per acre as it shall seem
best to exempt on careful investigation Of
the subject by a competent commission, aud
see how the project will work for the next
two years. viii our farmer-legislators, and
all who have the best interests of the state
at heart, think of the matter Perhaps it is
yet too early in the era of reform for such a
measure to be taken, but it Will do no harm
| to think Of it.
