The REFORM SCHOOL. Cover

The REFORM SCHOOL. Cover
nor Peck has decided to call an OK
ira session ofthe Legislature on the
18th prox, to provide ways and
means for rebuilding the State Re-
form School, destroyed by fire Oh the
18th. This action OF the Governor
meets the approval of nearly all.
Judge Redfeld recommended the
Governor to address u circular let
ter to each member of the Legisla-
tuye for their approval of PROPOSE
ton to take the insurance and the
cost Of an extra session for rebuild
ing; but no one has any authority
to use a dollar of money, or even to
receive the insurance without legis-
lative action, The next regular SEES
sion will be composed of members
elected in September, 1876, and it
may, at that time, abolish the State
Reform School entirely, as the last
session did the Board of Education,
which two years before, seemed a
permanent institution in the State.

The Cincinnati Commercial is
right. We greatly need, it says, an
annual financial statement, or bud
get, like that of the British Govern
ment, exhibiting in detail to Con-
gress and the country our national
receipts and expenditures. Such a
budget, emanating from the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, and accompa'
MED by the personal responsibility
of that Minister, on the floor OF
Congress, to explain the financial
statement, would tend to simplify
the public business.

In reference to the currency ques-
ton, it can no longer be doubted
that the House has returned more
conservative than it went away.
Doctrinaires like Kelley cling to
their old opinions with the redoubl-
ed zeal of self absorbed enthusiasm |;
demogogues like Butler continue to
advocate their foolish theories in
the hopes of rallying a party of
dupes, or at least of attracting to
themselves the public notice which
they crave; but it is not to be ques-
toned that the average sentiment
of the body has made substantial
advance in the direction of correct
principles Washington Letter to

The most significant and impor-
tant vote yet taken in the House
was on Mr.. Holman's resolution,
setting forth that, hereafter, no sub
sidy in money, bonds or lands, shall
be granted to any corporation.
This is especially intended to head
off the Texas Pacific and Northern
Pacific Railroad schemes, but, of
course, it applies to all others. The
resolution came up under suspen-
ton of the rules and required two
thirds vote. 1t lacked one vote of
success, the vote being 149 to "a,
with about fifty members absent or
not voting. This shows, however,
that majority of the House are
against any subsidy schemes. The
friends of the Texas Pacific are
somewhat demoralized, but they
hope that, later in the session, the
temper of the House will change.

IA COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, Z
BROOKLYN, Dec. II, 1871.
My Dear Miss Proctor-Of all
men. surely | have II right to con
graduate you on the cffectual dispo-
sition made 10y the referees report
of the miserable and shameless sian.
dcrs cast upon you. | have been
the innocent cause of a great sor-
row to you Such wantOn dispersion
would be intolerable upon man,
but upon Il woman, with so little TO
defend herself, so sensitive even to
the very shadow of dishonor, such
ISLANDERS are atrOcious crimes. But
now that you have been indicated,
| am content not to have quite had
my own way, for was at first hurt
not Il little that the case was adjust
ed without giving me an opportuni-
ty, publicly and under oath, to deny
the shameful allegations made, and
to brand the stories as malignant
falschoods in their relation to YOU
and in their relation to me. You
know, assuredly. that never utter
ed any alleged injurious statements
concerning you, as l know there
were never any grounds Oh your
part for such wicked stories. hope
that your health will not suffer per-
manently. l marvel that you have
borne as bravely as you have. May
you speedily recover your accustom-
ed vivacity, and live to see all your
former friends made doubly friendly
by your trials, and hundreds of sym
pathizing strangers made warm
friends by your unmerited suffer
ings.

Ii. w. BEECHER.

have come to the shortest days !
After two or three more, every day

In reply to this communication
Miss Proctor wrote as follows:
BROOKLYN, Dec. IS, 1874.
Dear Mr.. Beecher-Thank you
for your letter of yesterday with its
expressions of sympathy at the ter
ribIe injustice and cruelty | have
had to endure, and with it's congrat-
ulations upon the end attained. |
should have been glad if you could
have had opportunity to deny pub
licly, under oath, this atrocious sto-
ry; at the same time, | attached
little importance to such denial, for
it has always seemed to me that the
absurdity and impossibility of your
ever having uttered syllable of
this SANDER must be apparent to all
the world, as it is to myself. And
now that the lie has been retract ed
in open Court by those who pro
claimed it, with the adherence it
merits, dismiss it forever. So my
heart uplifts itself, and though these
are the dark December days, | feel
that | am not entering Winter, but
Spring. Trusting that the future
will indeed bring you sunlight with
out clouds, and that your remaining
years will be the haplest aud most
useful of your life,

An UNUSUAL INCIDENT. On the day OF
Senator Summers funeral service at the
Capitol, the Senate being the center of
attraction, the door-keepers Of the gal
leries were, of course, besieged with
applicants for admission, especially
those guarding the entrance TO the por-
ton set aside for Senator's families and
their friends. As the services were
about to commence a we'll dressed lady
presented herself at the last mentioned
entrance, and was refused admission
by the door-keeper, who stated that she
must have note from Senator. She
had procured one some days previous for
the purpose of entering this portion Of
the gallery, but had never used it, and
remembering that it was still in her
pocket, handed it to the dOor-keeper,
who read, "Please give this lady seat.

The ENGLISH TRADE IN RosEs.-A
writer in the English Gardner's Maga-
zine says: 800
At several of the London nurseries
where roses are made a leading fea-
ture, it is common to hear the remark,
as the Autumn days approach, eve
have budded hundred thousand briers,
and we have half as many again ready
for sale as soon as lifting begihs." We
could show twelve acres of roses in d
piece, to say nothing of several houses
filled with pot-roses. II We reckon the
twelve acres filed with briers yard
apart, the total will be $4,000. We
could name several nurseries whsrs
120 900 to 10000 briers are budded
annually, and several more where the
number averages from $1,000 to co.
600. One of our friends in the trade
invests annually $40 900 in brisrs sDd
labor in making outdoor rosss. Hav.
ing cast up series Of totals of this
kind that we can pretty we'll rely on.
we are satisfied the sale of roses must
considerably exceed million annually.
If we reckon these worth quarter Of .
dollar each, the total cost to the public
will be $3.50, 900. But VI have yet 70
consider the pot-roses and the new
roses, and all kinds Of odds and ends
of commercial nature Of which roses
are the subject, and We shall probably
have to add an equal amount for thAses
which brings up the total to $500, 900.
That this is far below the setual amount
that changes hands in t1is. country OF
roses, is made evident by the large
