the explanation, that this discrepancy was
occasioned by the appropriation committee
OF the last congress compelling him 10
change the manner of printing the red seal
on the currency from machine to hand
work, making an additional expense oil
more than $250,000.
There have thus far been introduced in
the house 1, 1s5 bills, and, az 1856 copies
of each bill are printed, the whole number
of copies amounts TO the enormous total of
1912, 675. Which facts lead the Washing
ton star to suggest that an excellent OPP
poriunity ia afforded to the democrats to
practice economy in public printing by
presenting private bills, which comprise
nearly two-thirds of the whole number
thus far introduced. in the form of petit
ions, which the rules of the house do not
require to be printed.
After torturing his victims for a time,
during which they stood in terrified sus-
pense. apparently not knowing what next
this dreadful, mercless and audaciously
sarcastic man would do, but fearing the
worst, Blaine carelessly tossed them aside
az if really not worthy of any further at
tention by contemptuously withdrawing
his monitor to reconsider. This left the
democrats flat on their backs, with no way
to help themselves. Blaine enjoyed his
triumph thoroughly. He has succeeded
in making himself terrible to and far more
feared by the democrats than Ben. Butler

Grange Installation at Grafton

On the evening of Friday, Jan. 18th,
1876, Grafton an Golden Rule oranges met
at the town hall in Grafton, for the pur-
pose of installing the officers Of the first
named grange. Owing to the roughness
of the roads Golden Rule grange was not
as well represented as could have been
wished. The installation was partially
public. The families Of Grafton grange
were present, together with goodly num-
Der of fellow townsmen as invited guests,
making in all about 1875 persons, forming
as happy company rs ever met on such
an occasion The installing ceremonies
were conducted by Worthy Master j. II.
Austin of Golden Rule grange, assisted by
Bro. 0. Il. Murriield of Fayetteville.
After the installation, the company
repaired TO the tables which were
well filled with those things which
both tempt and satisfy the appetite. Oys-

At Sutherland Falls.

The following is an abstract of dis
course on The foundation of national
prosperity" delivered by the Rev. G. b.
Hubert, d. D., president of Middlebury
college, at Sutherland Falls on Sabbath
afternoon.
The text was Psalms xi3.
"It the foundations be destroyed, what can
the righteous do?'
The psalm was written when David was
fugitive, and when the people of Israel
were setting at naught the fundamental
principles of justice, truth and honesty.
Seeing this evil, he exclaims 'If the
foundations he destroyed what can the
righteous dog There have been at all
times since David, and are now, those who
mine the foundations OF national existence.
1t is well in this centennial year to con-
slider the elements of empire"
What are the forces which make I'M our
republic and guaranty to US as a nation
security ? 1t is answered that our extent
of territory is one foundation on which we
rest. Our lives have fallen in pleasant
places. We have goodly heritage. No
nation since earth's gray dawn ever had
more expansive or grander realm for its
But material things are not in themselves
sure foundation Other countries once
as fair, are now desolate and this broad
land may succumb to the same fate. This
lovele land is nothing worth except as our
national vitality IS 80 guided and elevated
as to keep it from wasting its forces in
aimless exertion of suicidal violence.
Again, ask, what are the sources of M
tional strength and security? Do Won
answer "The federal constitution the
principles and forces massed within II and
taught and enforced by it p No govern
ment rests on more mastery and com
prehensive compendium of political prjncl-
pies. The constitution is far in advance
of thought in the same field elsewhere
time does not dim It, space does not weaken
II y, it has defined the charter for all future
for liberty. Despite all efforts 10
prevent 1t, the principles there embodied
move forward conquering and to conquer.
toyal power in other countries has tried
IN vain to arrest its progress it is subtle
and invasive as caloric, and is everywhere
asserting supreme dominion. AS an eagle
to earth droops until the shirt
seems broken, yet needs but the cry of n
free eagle from above to renew its yigor
quicker. every Eerve, break its chain and
regain It's native crag so have the nations
OIL Inc earth but been waiting the fire of
our American constitution to burst the
bonds of oppression and tyranny. Not.

grasp oil truth, Its power to rock tho eni.

in consequence Of n violent snow storm, |
day fixed Ivy law, but did meet on the next |
day and cast their votes for James Bu-
chauan for president, and John G. Brock |
enridge for vice-president. The tellers re-
ported that Buchanan had received one
hundred and seventyfour voles-and this
included that OF Wisoonsn--John G. FIRE.
mont one hundred and fourteen, and Mil
lard Fillmore eight votes, and the president
pro tcn1p0ro of the senate-Jamcs Nj. Mason
of Northumberland the election accord
ingly. without excluding the vote of Wis
consiu. a debate about the procedure in
case vote was objected to arose in the
Joint convention, but was flnally ruled out
of order. Similar debates, also, took place,
subsequently, iu both houses, but the ques-
ton was left undisposod of and unsettled.
In 1867, under the joint rule. objection
was made TO counting the vote of Georgia,
but the matter was finally disposed of by
the telars reporting the result in two waye
with the vote Of Georgia and without 1t
and the presiding officer declared the re-
suit in the same manner both resulting in
the election Of Ulysses 5. Grant for presi-
dent, and Schuyler Coliax for vice presi-
dent. In 1873, objection was made to
counting the vote of Louisiana, and both
houses voted in favor of its rejection. The
same year, objection was made to receiv-
ing the vote of Arkansas for the reason
that the certificate was informal in not
having the great seal of the state affixed.
The house decided IN favor of counting the
vote and the senate against il, and so,
uader the joint rule. the vote of the state
was not counted. 1t subsequently trans
pired that Arkansas had no great seal, so
that the certificate was as formal as it could
be-but the general verdict in view Of sub
sequeut developments relative to the Ar
kansas and Louisiana elections of 1872,
will be that the votes of both states were
properly rejected.
The matter ofthis joint RULES now being
considered, it being claimed, on the part of
the republicans, that to be of binding force,
it must be re-adoptei by each congress.
This would seem to be correct, as the house
adopt the rules de nora at the opening of
every of congress, and the joint rules require
the assent Of both houses to give them
validity. The senate is held to be a continu-
ing body but not so the house. 1t has been
the custom, it is said, for each house to
quietly adopt the joint rules without def
mite action, but it is claimed, and properly
as it seems to US, that the refusal of either
house to assent to joint rule renders it
imperative If this view is correct, new
rule will have to be adopted, and it will be
exceedingly difficult. if not impossible, fol
the two houses to agree upon one. In any
event, with the rule as it BOW ia, or with
doubts as to its validity, serious compiled
tons may arise in case of a close election
each house having, or claiming to have
, the power 10 throw out the vote of one OF
more states. In case of close vote witt

New York has population, by the CEN
sus of 1875, of 4,705, 20S, and the valuation
OF her real and personal property, for the
purposes of taxation, is SO, 1867, $50, l02 so
that tax of two mills on the dollar would

ulaton of Vermont IN 1875 allowing the
same proportiOnate rate OF increase from
1870 to 1915 as from 1860 to 1S70-was
$50, 1893, and the valuation of her real and
personal property, for the purpose of taxa
ton, was 500, 493, 526; so that a tax of
three and two-fifths mills on the dollar
the same as tax Of three and two-fifths
cents on our grand list-would be required
to yield 1888, 277,O9, or a trine less than
dollar to each inhabtant. Does this indl-
cate greater average wealth per capita in
New York, o. does it show that the valua-
ton of property, made in that state for the
purposes of taxation, is nearer its true
value in cash than that made in Vermont !?

TWENTY-sECOND JOINT RULE.

When the subject of amnesty is disposed
of, If it ever is, another question, of more
practical Importance, will occupy the at
tention of congress but with little prospect
OF final or satisfactory settlement. The
constitution provides that the certificates
OF the electors of president and vicc-presi
dent of the United States shall be trans
United to the president of the senate and
shall be by him opened in the presence of
the senate and house Of representatives,
and the person having the greatest number
of votes, if it is a majority Of the whole
number of votes, shall be president, etc.
No provision was made for the time and
manner in which such certificates should
be opened and the votes counted, and SO
the act of March !, 1892, provided that
congress should be in session on the second
Wednesday IN February succeeding pres
idential election, when the certificates
should be opened, the votes counted, and
the persons who shall fill the offices of
president and vice president "ascertaned
and declared, agreeably to the constitu
ton"
Prior to 1865, there was no rule in ref
erence to the counting of the electoral
votes, the custom being to provide for the
same by simple JOINT rcsolution-and
there was no particular necessity tor gen
eral rule AS there had never been any cues
ton raised relative to the regularity of a
certificate or the right of state to vote
In 1850, however, the situation was
changed, and il was deemed necessary to
provide for the counting by joint rule, SO
as to guard against the reception of the
presidential votes from some of the Gun
" reconstructed southern states. The re-
suit was what is known az the twenty-sec-
ond joint rule, the essential part of which
is that when the senate and house are in
session for the purpose of witnessing the
opening of the certificates and the counting
OF the votes, If, upon reading any of the
certificates, any question shall arise relative
to the counting of the vote certified there
by, the question having been stated by the
presiding officer, the two houses shall SEN
arate, and separately, and without debate
vote upon the objection, and mo vote oh.
" Jected to shall be counted except by the
" concurrent vote of the two houses"
The effect of this rule IS to throw out
the vote of state if either house objects
TO its being counted The question of the
proper mode of procedure, in case the vote
of state was objected to, arose in 1857,
before the adoption Of the joint rule, In
the case of Wisconsin, where the electors,

Postmaster General Jewell is ready to
meet the democratic house half way in the
effort to cut down expenditures. He says
that if the committee find any useless ex-
pendture in his department, he will cut it
off at once without any action on the part
of the house. The committee, however,
propose to inquire whether the fast mail
trains are of sufficient advantage to war
rant the extra expense, and here,
they think they have the postmaster gen
eral in tender spot, as this is known 10 be
one of his pet schemes; but it is, also, too
