A Great Bugbear.

A writer In the 81. Adams Advertiser in
commenting upon the calling of an extra
session for the purpose Of considering the
centennial, proceeds to discuss tho danger
Of legislation against the Central Vermont
railroad, should the governor call the legis-
lature together, and says there is deep
laid plot to convene the general assembly,
which we have reason to believe has no
foundation in fact. He thus presents this
great bugbear
1t is now urged by several persons who
claim to know better than anyone else, that
the governor should by al. means convene
the last legislature in special session to
take into consideration centennial matters.
This to all intents and purposes would be
well, and quite the right spirit of patriot
ism but then on the other hand, matters
innumerable would spring up in this ses-
sion in the shape of petitions and bills TO
offer for the action of this body. can
truthfully say, the centennial question
would occupy but very few hours of at
| tention, and these petitions and bills would
be brought in against the Central Vermont
railroad management, and for an express
purpose of having regular railroad ses-
| sion for the benefit of only few malcon-
| tents who have for years past so burdened
this corporation with lawsuits innumer-
able, that it has grown monotonous.
the recent four months session of the
accounting investigation before special
Masters Dillingham;, Edwards and Denison,
has failed to show the enormous frauds
and nests of corruption which certain
] lawyers told several bondholders existed,
and from the tone of these who are to-day
clamoring for this extra legislative session,
it can be seen that this so-caled 'centen-
NAL session" is really intended for regular
raid upon ex-Gov. Smith and the Central
road, to again suck the life blood from the
treasury, and have the bondholders foot
the bills for 'legal services" and suits
which in the past have been expensive and
| nothing gained Gov. Peck well under
stands the real scheme at work relative to
| having him call the extra session, and he
also takes iDto consideration the fact that
when the body was last in session, the
centennial subject was in substance brought
before the members of the legislature !;
they had fair notice to then take action in
behalf of Vermont's representation, and the
body adjourned without doing any,
thing: AS have before stated, there is
deep laid plot to get the legislature into ex-
ira session, and the well meaning portion
OF the community do not desire the COVER
nor to call it.

mont are prepared to make general
raid" as it is called, "upon Governor Smith
and the Central Such bombast works to
the injury of the state, and more especially
the Central Vermont. The authors of such
articles will be far more probable to secure
the converting of the legislature than the
villianous "plotters" alluded to.

Judge johnson, of the United States cir
cult court, has decided that the law in
creasing the rate of postage on third class
mail matter is constitutional and does not
conflict with the clause declaring that sail
" bills for raising revenue shall originate
" in the house of representatives. 1t will
be remembered that the increase was made
by an amendment, originating in the senate,
to the appropriation bill, which had no
other provision for raising revenue, and he
disposes of the constitutional restriction by
saying that it applies only to bills provid-
ing revenue from which the people de-
rive "no direct equivalent in return; and
the several decisions of the courts declar-
ing that bills fixing the rates of postage
were revenue. bills. because revenue is in
come and the income raised by postage is
as much tax and revenue "as moneys
" collected for duties on imports, by say
ing that this is correct as construction of
law but not as to the constitution. 1t may

Immediately after the reading of the
presidents message in the house, Sam Ran
dali moved that the reporters be directed
not to publish the message at length in the
house proceedings, but simply to insert a
note referring to the senate proceedings
for the full text thereof. This was mas
ter stroke of economy, but, unfortunately,
it was not new and will be of very little
use, even as buncombe. The practice of
publishing the message in full in the pro-
ceedings of both houses ceased with the

subject-but, then, with change of the
political complexion, it may be well to
make little display of economy and 1t
