the COMMITTEES Crime'1 Proposals.
One of the subjects with which the report
of the Assembly Committee on Crime will
deal is of nature which makes ihu discus
sion in public prints matter Of great deli
cacy and difficulty. We may not be- sur
prised that in France the Revolution left
room for the growth of public opinion
which could treat the subject in question as
q hard and sad reality, that might be amelio-
rated, but could not be extirpated. The
great French cataclysm that begun in 1888 is
mostly referred to for the Utopias that it
hungered after but it was eminently utifi-
tartan, and gave free scope for discussing
subjects which the Church had declared for
bidden and effecting reforms which since
have one by one been adopted out
side of France. One of these was
the bringing of the ''social evil under gov
ernmental regulation. In England the mat
ter was left to take care of itself until about
decade ago, when o law was passed apply
ing the French system of supervision to the
garrison towns as a sanitary measure for the
protection of the troops. Since then the
scope of the act has been enlarged. In
America the system of supervising houses
of ill-fame has had but little trial. as in st.
Louis, for instance. 1t would appear that
public sentiment is too sensitive as yet to
treat this matter widely on its mere hygienic
merits, because it is so involved in the ques-
ton of morality. The Committee on Crime,
however, propose to take up the subject in
their report While hestating it is stated,
to recommend licensing system with
medical inspection, on the ground
we have just noted, they will sug-
gest o compromise by which these
houses shall be placed under absolute
police control. Now, whatever may be urged
in favor of the licensing system as q sanitary
measure looking to the health of the present
and future generations, nothing worth list
ening to can be said in support of semi-le-
galizing these houses by handing them over
to the police. The very revelations made in
the course of the committees investigation
all show that the police have had these
houses practically in control for years past;
that there is little doubt that, from the cap
tain to the patrolman, shameful revenues
have been derived from them, and that police
corruption has only made bad worse by CIV
ing immunity to the vilest, and without the
slightest protection to the public. New
neighborhoods have been invaded by them,
and the vicinity of public schools made dan
gerous to youth. Public decency has been
shocked by parades of fallen creatures through
the streets, after the ''raids" of new clean
the police TO harass if not to punish might be
made manifest; but no real good has been
done will be done by mere police
control"

GRAND JURIEs.--Whether grand jurles
are any practical benefit to the country has
long been an open question. That they
arc the product of vast deal of evil no one
can for moment doubt, and such they
will continue TO be as long as they are con-
Quoted in the manner which has prevailed
in late years. The great cost under which
the grand jury system is carried on has
been advanced as a reason for its ABOLISH
meni, and not without good grounds. An
other seemingly logical argument against
them Is that they are of no earthly use in
one case out Of a hundred. Suppose a man
to be arrested on a charge of felony and
lodged in Jail. He is obliged 10 wait until
the grand jury meet, when the govern
nent brings forth what testimony II con-
siders important and presents it to the
jury, who sit in secret conclave, and vote
upon the question Of the mans guilt or in
noceuce. Iftwel, OF the % ATE of opinion
that enough has Geen shown to make the
defendants guilt probable, an indictment
is drawn and trial follows. Then for the
first time, the accused is given an opportu-
nifty TO meet the testimony against him,
which he might be able TO control immedi-
ately. In any case, all the form gone
through with seems super fluous aud need
less. The accused could he first brought
before primary justice, as is now gcner-
ally done, and If probable cause Of guilt is
shown, his case could be thus sent TO trial

circumlocuton, trouble and expense of an

BRATTLEBORo:
FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 81, 1876.


The New England Farmer, in giving an
account ofa discussion upon corn growing
at the late meeting of the Massachusetts
State Board of Agriculture at Haverhill,
says: "Dr. Sturtevant touched upon a
new idea or theory of cultivation OF the
corn crop which has not yet, TO our knowl-
edge been very fully reported in the pub
lie prints.
at has been considered, in years past,
a bad practice to cultivate corn fields with
horse, afler the corn roots had pretty
much reached across the rows, for fear Of
breaking and destroying the roots which
carry the food 10 the plants. Frequent cul-
tivaton has been recommended while the
corn Is small, but cultivating up 10 the
time of tasselling has not been generally
recommended. On the contrary, instances
have been cited where late cultivation
has checked the growth of the corn.
"Tho plan proposed by DIR. Sturtevant
for cultivating corn field is 10 run the
cultivator as near the hills as possible the
first time over, and to break, cut or tear
the roots of the corn at few inches from
the stalk. Wherever a root is broken a
number of new roots are Immediately
pushed out from the stump of the broken
root. These grow very rapidly, and in a
few days the plant may have five, ten or
twenty feeding roots in the place Of one or
two before the breakage. In week after
the first cultivation, run the cultivator
through again deep enough to catch all the
roots, and near enough 10 the corn TO break
all these newly-made roots, but outside of
the first break. In another week the feed
ing power of the roots will have been in
creased by the pushing of another new set
of roots at the rate of five, ten or twenty,
from each of the roots last broken, and by
continuing this system of cultivation and
root pruning up to the time the ears begin
TO set, the ground is found to be complete
ly filled by feeding roots. This root pru-
ming has somewhat dwarfed the growth OF
the stalk, as it has been checked little at
every operation, but now that the ears,
which we care more for than the stalk, are
being filled out, the plant has the whole
soil to draw from, instead of a small por-
ton which 1t would have been confined TO
had the first roots been allowed to grow
long and single.
Gardeners all understand the great diff
ference in the value of young pepper, to-
mato, cabbage or other plants, which have
boon transplanted one or more times, and
those which have been allowed to grow in
the beds untouched. The latter have two
or three long roots, with but very few feed
ing mouths, while the former will show a
mass of short roots, so thick and active that
altho ugh thrown upon the ground and left
10 die, they will catch TO the soil and live,
in spite of neglect. Every Time a plant is
checked in its growth by root pruning, a
tendency towards increasing It's fruitful
ness is produced. Just how far this may
be carried in the case of the corn plant, re-
mains yet improved"

EARLY POTATOES. We have oflen flank
ed the weather in this wise: Some three
weeks before the earliest planting time, Sc
lect few Of your fairest and best Early
Rose-lhose that show signs OF sprouiing,
if any there be-and cut them in pieces
having but one eye on each. Take any
shallow box-like grape box-and sprin-
kle in layer OF moist earth or sand; then
put in layer Of potatoes, an inch or Two
apart, with the eyes up. Cover them with
two or three inches Of dirt, and put on an
other layer of potatoes, covering with dirt
as before. a hundred or two "sels" can
be started in this way with very little troub-
lie. Put the box in the c,rner of the kich-
en-, back OF The stove, or any warm place,
and sprinkle II with water occasionally.
By the Time the earth is warm, dry, and
ready for planting, your potatoes will be
nicely sprouted, and will also have thrown
out fine net work of tender roots.
For the early patch, we think it economy
TO prepare the ground in trenches-mel-
lowing it up finely, aud putting in plenty
of tilizers, of which nothing is so good
for potatoes as wood ashes, used with barn
yard or hen manure, and a little lime, on
some soils. 1t will require little pains,
Of course, TO remove tho "sets" from the
box without breaking the sprouts; but it
can be done, even when they have grown
80 as TO show the green leaf on the end
When single eyes are used, they may be
placed, if you are cramped for room, eight
or even six inches apart in the trench.
Cover the sprouts carefully, not being
afraid TO use your hands, and give them a
good top-dressing of compost. They will
grow right on without interruption, and
should be hoed frequently-the row sys-
tenn facilitating the killing. By this meth
cd you can not only secure potatoes sever
al weeks earlier, but you get ahead of the
bugs, which is 10 be an item this year,
even in New England.

DREAMS IN CoURT.-The friends OF the
condemned murderer Rubinsteiu are max
ing every effort TO save the wretched man,
aud having failed 10 procure a writ of error
and stay of proceedings from Judge Pratt
of Brooklyn, applied to Judge Brady. The
hearing before the latter judge occupied
several hours on Thursday, and during its
progress several curious experiences were
related, the first story being elected by the
remarks of Mr.. Mott regarding the prison
ers dream, which be said he had on the
night of the murder, Dir. Mott insisting
that the prisoner was OF such a highly sens
tive nature that revelations were vouch-
safed 10 him by dreams.
~ had rather a singular dream last
night" interrupted Judge Brady. ~
dreamed that was conversing with man
who told me he was in State Prison and
that sent him there. then remembered
his face and recalled his name. Singularly
enough, the son Of this man called on me
this morning and asked me II could not
use some influence TO get his father out Of
Stale Prison"
"Your Honor will doubtless rccolect
reading" said Mr.. Beach, Sin the papers
an account Of how a son of one the victims
OF the late burning of the Home fer tie
Aged in Brooklyn, dreamed that night the
institution was burned, and that his father
was victim of the conhagratiou. On the
next morning the son visited the place, and
sure enough his dream proved true"
"I'll tell another dream Of mine" con-
tnued Judge Brady. "when was boy
l dreamed that found two sixpences on
the stoop of my fathers house. The next
day client Of my fathers met me on the
sLoop and gave me Two sixpences"
Judge Brady took the papers in tire case,
reserving his decision.
