Mr.. McCabs presented the following
protest and asked that it be spread
upon the Journal. The undersigned
voted in the negative on this amend
me,lt for the following reasons: The
Supreme Court has held that Il State
Director is an officer. We are OF the
opinion that the General Assembly has
no power to prescribe qualifications
for persons holding office. We think
it is al invasion Of the rights Of the
Executive Department and an ilnputa-
ton against Governor Tod r. Cald
well, who has the appointing power,
in whose integrity We have full conf
dence. l.. W. Humphrey, \. M. Nc

The Salem (Mass) Gazette recalls

While staying for few days at the
hotel, enjoying themselves fishing on
the pond and shooting in the woods,
with young Englishman as an attend
ant, they were much ANNOYED by the
eager curiosity Of visitors, who dis
turbed their intended secIusion. Col
Elbridge Gerry and Mr.. Prescott, of

Irritating words followed, and the

The details for the great Universal
Exhibition to be held in Geneva in
1875, are nearly complete. The plan
fer the building has been prepared by
NJ jules Chatron, the architect OF the
Lyons Exhibition. The structure will
occupy 10 less than 500, GOO square
metres, apart from so, 900 reserved for
purposes of establishment. It will
stand III d natchless position, close
upon the side of the lake. Its CALLER
les are intended to radiate from a CEN
trial cupola of magnitude hitherto IN
equalled. In the centre of this will
rise a mighty column, from which the
whole interior of the eQitice may be
overlooked, while e2ter;orily a gIori-
ons scenic panorama, dwarfng all the
efforts of art and man-so says the
Httt,'ie de G0tere-wilI expand.
Around are visible Lake I4eman, in it's
full range, tie Jura, the Swiss Alps,
and Mont Blanc, with rlyriads of ac-
cessories of lesser note. As the pub
lie high road will come between the
building and lake, it is proposed to
connect them by a suspension bridge,
having the aspect of triumphal arches.

for the occasion. The structural plan
embraces vast orchestral concert
hall capable of holding about four
thousand musicians, and, moreover, a
organ.

CASH PLAN ADOPTED.

The postage law, which goes into operation lst
of January, 1875, requires prepayment on all
newspapers sent through the mails beyond the
limits of the counties in which they are publish
3D. We have, therefore, determined to adopt
the CASH PLAN for all subscriptions While
avoiding the losses, tardy payments and ex-
penses of collection incident to the credit sys-
tenn, we will be required to prepay the postage
The change determined upon will, therefore,
prove beneficial to both subscribers and publish
or. The former will be relieved of the postage
tax whilst the latter will be enabled to simplify
the operations of his business and to improve
the facilities for conducting it.
No name DiU be entered asnLess the subscrip-
ton is paid for in Advance.
During the past few months every subscriber
in arrears has been furnished, through the mails
with statement Of his account Msny have
responded with remittances discharsng their
liabilities and paying in advance for the current
year. We appeal urgently to those who have
not made similar response to do so without
further delay, MS after the first of January, 1875,
we will commence to discontinue the paper to
those who have not paid in advance. The time
within which all in arrears can close up the bal
ances due and make an advance payment is am
pie, and we fatter ourselves that but few names
will be dropped.

A New ENTERPRIsE.-For me nothing is
more interesting than to see man IN the hrst
intense strain of new enterprise; 1t may be
new cider mill: it may be new newspaper. 1t
is great crisis In that mans lite. he lives
thirty days in one. Old, trite proverbs take on
new and startling meanings. lie looks upon
all men and all things in a strange, new light;
He judges all meu and all things with regard
to the accomplishment of his one, supreme de-
sign. During a certain time the stars 10 their
courses fight for him; then the very universe
changes its direction, and pushes with all Its
weight against his tottering walls; another
change, and thousand accidents are IN his
favor He does not know till years atterward
with what concentration he abored in those
days of beginning He smiles at hinselt,. and
tells pleasant stories Of his make. shifts aud ab.
sorption; and row when he sees another and
younger person starting his cider mill, with the
old, outworn enthusiasm, he looks on with the
same half sympathetic, half cynical interest
with which an old married couple contemplate
two young people who have just fallen in love.

MADEIRA FOR lNvALIDs.-It is evident that
Meaeira presents to an American 10 search of
something new, resort aboundipg in novel al d
valuable attractions For the invalid afflicted
with nervous or pulmonary complaints, Its cll-
mate is probably uDsurpassed; the air has the
rare and exquisite quality OF king one obllvl-
Gus that there is such thing, suggesting
neither to much moisture, nor over-dryness,
neither malaria nor megrims. The mean sum-
landscape at midday and moderate the tervor
of the direct rays of the SUM- The foliage is
always green, every month has profusion Of
flowers peculiar to itself, the bees gather
honey all the year round. The number of
steamers, including the Lisbon packet, which
touch at Funchal on the passage between
Europe Africa, and Brazil, averages one day,
and, in addition, the cable has just been laid
between Portugal and Funchal, thus keeping
the soiourner in MADEIRA sufficiently within the
tide OF events to prevent mental stagnatloo, be-
sides rendering stay on the island anything
but captivity dependent on winds or long iu-
tervals of waiting; while the number of strapg-
ers spending the winter there, and the excel
leuce of the boarding houses, furnish social ad-
vantages and domestic comforts at moderate
rate. Those who seek Madeira for health should
70 there in October, aud remain we'll into the
spring; but hunters after scenery and novelty
will find itagreeable to arrive at Funchal with
out regard to times and seasons. My own pre-
ference would be from March to September, or
better still, from January to December, thus
avoiding the scorching heats alternating with
cold storms which make purgatory of our
summers, and the still more Injurious furnace
air and January thaws of our winters. In cll-
mate, Madeira nay we'll be reckoned among
the Isles of the Blest t-.ScrtJners
