United States Courts-.Proposed Change.

We notice that several petitions have
been presented in the lower House Of Con-
gress, and referred to the Judiciary Com.
mittee, praying that the term of the United
States Court to be holden at Windsor on
the fourth Tuesday of July, be changed to
the fourth Tuesday 10 May. Doubtless
this change would be a great relief to the
judges and officials Immediately interested,
as the term now occurs in the hottest aud
most oppressive season Of the whole year,
when labor is burdersome, and rest and re.
creation is both pleasure and a necessity.
But on recurring to the calendar Of the
State courts, the question arose whether
the proposed change might not result in ia.
convenience to those parties having husine's
in both the county aud United States courts,
We observe that the courts in Windsor and
Lamoille counties are held on the fourth
Tuesday Of May, and iu Addison, Benning.

some parties, we know have business in

inconvenience resulting from the change
might more than counterbalance the benefit

Provided there are serious objections to
granting the prayer Of the petitioners il
would be well to bring them to the knowl
edge Of our Congressional delegation al
once.
AT the session Of the California legis
lsture just closed, an attempt was made tC

has been agitated more or less for sevcra
years in quite number Of legislatures il
different states, and the idea has met with
favor to some extent in the press. 1t is
however, questionable whether its adoption
would be any improvement The peopl,
have settled down to the plan Of leaving
this matter to their representatives in thei
legislatures, and there it will doubtless re
main; and on the whole that method i
probably more in accord with the spirit o

A HUGE GRIMALKIN.

We think one of the largest, hardest
saucer-eyed, long-taled kind is to be
found in the letting of the contract foi
stamped postofiice envelopes. few
days since the telegraph gave us the
somewhat unnecessary information that
two clerks of the Postoffice Department
had been sent to Massachusetts, to ascer-
tain the solvency or commercial stand
ing of the two lowest bidders for the
contract for manufacturing these en-
velopes. At the time, when we read the
unusual and uncalled for announcement
by telegraph of the ordinary duties of
the department, we thought that there
was something behind. We were not
mistaken. A day or two after comes
another telegram, saying that "the Post
master General to-day awarded the con-
tract for supplying stamped envelopes
and newspaper wrappers, for four years
from the first of October, to the Ply
mouth Man ufacturing Company, of Hart
ford, Connecticut; W. r. Ladd, Of
Holyoke, Massachusetts, and Giles
Hayes, Of Springfield, Massachusetts,,
the two lowest bidders having withdrawn
their bids" Now, we of course do not
know, and do not SO charge but We most
suspect that the above is so

TERRIBLE D.sTITuTIoN-Neolected Caldren-
In "Black Cat Row" on Cole street, opposite
the western Scbuetzen park, family of four
persons-a mother and grown daughter and two
small children, named Sophia and Carrie Heck,
aged and 10 years respectively-have been
living for some time past in a state of depravity
and restitution that it seems almost incredible
could exist within Christian community. The
mother and Oldest daughter have been for a
long time the victims Of dissipation Of the worst
form, the former being frequently found in q
state Of beastly intoxlcation. The children were
allowed to grow up utterly uncared for and
neglected, and their bodies we're found fairly
alive with vermin and covered with rags and
filth. They subsisted by begging. and were
frequently discovered in half furnished con-
clifton, devOuring the refuse from garbage boxes
in the street. Sergeant Knight, upon ASCERTAIN
ing the condition OF the children, Informed
Capt. Lepson, and yesterday they we're removed
from the howell, and after being cleansed by q
colored woman in the neigh oorhood we're com
mitted by Justice Bell to the home OF the friend
less. The mother was also arrested by the OH =
Ger, and committed to Jail for sixty days on a
