"strctions upon of fare and freights. "
| The poeiton 10 assumed that when a rail-
road accepts charter which does not in
plain words expressly provide the terms
upon which the public may use it's road,
and shall not be prescribed or regulated by
law, then the company by the acceptance
OF such charter, trusting in the wisdom and
justice OF the law making power, agrees TO
build and operate its road, subject to such
laws in regard to its usc by the public 40
may be from time to time enacted. A
failrosd has right to fix it's charges until
the legislature chooses to act upon the mat
ter but subject to lite action, whenever it
shall be exercised. The state holds right
to general supervision over them, and of
inquiry aud power to correct abuses. The
commissioner says "While, in sense
they possess the power of individuals
land private corporations, in the trans
action of busiuese affairs in which the
holder Of the company'S stock and lands
alone arc interested yet the just and
fair maLagcmtns OF which 50 far affects
the citizen ard the state, that in con-
sequence Of this the interests of the rail-
road companies aio identical with them
ana can in no wise lie separated. Aud
while ! am clearly Of the oriuion that it
is within the power Of the state 10 enact
laws fixing tigid and arbitrary rules reg
nating fares and freight, yet as to the
cXpediency Of the state exercising that
right have grave doubts.
The recent action of the states of Mis-
eouii, Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin in
the experiment of establishing by statutory
enactmenti of strict arbitrary rules or rates
OF fare and freight, are cited to sustain his
views on this subject. These states have
reraced their steps and Missouri and Wis
cOnsin have SO amended their laws as to re-
move the most obnoxious features. In
consideration of the whole subject the com
missioner gays he can come TO no other
conclusion tLan this: although the state
" may have the constitutional power to 80
" to the extreme limits to which some of
" our states have done, yet it would be un-
wise aud inexpcdieut TO do so but sim
spy maintaining general supervision
" over them, guarding and protecting on
" tie one hand, and on the other exercising
" tina. close scrutiny aud supervision over
" all their acts to see that they do not ex-
" coed their chartered rights, and that the
" safety ana convenience OF the pu lie are
" secured and maintained, and that every
" safeguard is fully maintained to protect
" life and secure the best interests of the
people"
After suggestions on The Importance and
nee ssiy of u uniform system OF keeping

fairs of railroads so as TO make an intelli-
gent exhibit, he concludes the report
with discussion Of the expediency of mar

Vermont Bible Society.

The annual meeting OF the Vermont
Bible society was held in Representatives
hall, at Montpelier, Wednes day evening.
The secretary's report showed that 10S
Protestant and l57 Catholic families of the
state are destitute of Bibles, while the re-
port of the treasurer, John A. Page, re-
vealed the finances of tue society as in u
healthy condition, there being balance
in the treasury of $i,2s4 40. The annual
address wa, delivered by Rev DR.. Foss of
Middletown university, whose text was the
following:
"These things are written that you might
believe that Jesus is the Christi" lie
theme was the four Gospels, without all OF
which no complete biography of Christ
could be had. The Gospels were necessary
to produce faith, for the great masses never
saw Christ. No angel could have given
the gospel, having no sympathy with mon.
lie thanked God that no man had made
the portrAiture of Christ. Matthew gave
tie genealcgy of Christ, Marx wrote
as vivid novelist, while Luke
gave the details of Christs birth,
and John much valuable geography and
chronology connected with his mission, be-
sides his valedictory address, Matthew, be.
Ing tax collector, was adapted for fur
nishing statistics; Mark, beng traveller,
wrote more graphic style, while Luke
gave philosophers view and John that of
a devout listener. Matthew wrote for the
Jew, Mark for the Roman or heather,
Luke for the human race, while John
traced the gospel to the divine head.
Christ, though no scientist, or philosopher,
warrior, author nor statesman, was yet the
peerless man, and all intidels accord to him
"A character of the greatest purity. The
speaker challenges the world to produce one
shred of morality which 1900 years had

miracles in one day. Sometimes man
appears who condenses into himself Sim
tied almightiness;' SO Napoleon, who was
called The hundred thousand But for
Christ there was never Waterloo. No
lawyer could entrap him; one stroke of his
wisdom swept away all their casustry for
all time. The speaker believed there were
scores in'his audience who would sooner
be put to the rack than deny The gospel.
The Gallilean carpenter, 80 called by a
Roman, is still making the same collins in
which Pagan Rome was laid and the last
French empire was buried. The speaker
closed by paying an eloquent tributa to
the virtue and patriotism of the community
in which he spoke.

SOUTHERN CLAIMS.

We appTehend the people comprehend
that ,he present political struggle is not
for the victory OF party. but fo- the pre-
valenco # a governmental policy. TIC
Incoming administration viii be called up-
on to deal with vesed and serious questions
which involve the measure Of public credit
and consequently national prosperity. The
fact that on the adjournment Of congress
at its las. session the house had upon its
files bills representing claims to the amount
OF mill ms Of dollars, presented by south
ern claimants, IS Il FAC. of grave import.
We are told these claims mean nothing.
If 30, for what purpose were they pre-
seniedP There is but oIe,complc.e answer
to the question. They are presented be-
cause priority Of claims is worth some
thing. |. Is reasonable TO suppose they
would not have been presented unless there
were hope or prospect Of recognition
The southern claimants know that no re-
publican congress OF republican president
would ever consider such claims upon the
ma ional treasury. The securing CT dem
ocratlc majority in the house ia 1874 gave
the claimants such measure of encourage
ment that they felt Of a democratic
victory in the coming presidential election.
The complete surrender of the northern
democratic leaders a. the last session in the
organization of the house encouraged these
hopes. They now demand the money to
pay for their own wrong. This is the
proposition which the people will Lave to
face if the democratic party come into
power in the nation.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSIONER RE
PORT

PORT.
Hon. Myron w. Bailey, the railroad
commissioner of the state, has just issued
his biennial report covering the operations
of the railroads of the state, from July 81,
1874 to July 81, 1876, which, from a limit
cd examination, seems to be a very thorough
review ofthe condition of things so far as
he has power 10 investigate or compel
statements to bc made to him. 1t is very
evident that the railroad commissioner has
far too limited power to investigate or 10
direct the affairs Of the management Of the
several lines. The Office is regarded by
some as sinacure, but is not quite SO it
has its value as supervisory power at
least, and 10 some instances proves check
against mismanagement in some directions.
The present legislature should however
give the commissioner more power, and if
one is not sufficient create a board OF COM
missicners with full powers DELEGATED to
them as in other states. The office of rail-
road commissioner, urtil within few
years past, was an Institution unknown to
most states. The commissioner savs
that railroads were for time regarded IA
private enterprises and enjoyed exemption
from public supervision, now all the New
England states, New York and nearly all Of
The western states have commissioners
whose powers vary, but in all these their
junction is to see that railway companies
do not exceed their authority or violate
Their charters, aud statements are required
from each which become Part of the
records OF the state.
The commissioner has officially exam
ined the condition of the yaltous lines and
finds their condition improved during the
past two years. The Atlantic and St.
Lawrence, commonly known as the Grand
Trunk road, has substituted steel for IRON
rails, and iron for wooden bridges, over
ons-half the length of their road. All the
railroads of the state are reported as in
good condition. The railroads have felt
the general business depression, but by re-
trenchment and opening up new sources OF
traffic and travel, have in part made mp
their losses. lie suggests the enactment of
law making It The duty OF the managers
of railroads to report at once 10 the COM
missioner any accident, giving location,
time and nature of the accident, making it
the duty of the commissioner to investigate
it and report to the legislature.
Two railroads have been opened for
travel and transportation of freight The
Montpelier and White River, from Barre,
a distance of six miles the Woodstock,
from White River Junction, distance OF
fourteen miles. The Lamoile Valley
have completed their read from st. Johns
bury to Lur enburgh on the east, and from
Hydspark to johnson on the west, in all a
distance of tweniy-six miles.
Commissioner Bailey discusses at some
length the subject of 1.-The right and ex-
pediency of the state to fix arbitrary re-

Sheen on the Farm.

That sheep can save farms from ut
ter ruin, and improve the condition of
good farms, is beyond doubt. How
ever much we may prize the horse and
COW tor their services 10 mankind, still
we must admit that the keeping of
sheep is very profitable to the farmer,
in that il brings money to his pocket
and improves the condition of his
land. Experience has shown that
sheep husbandry is directly profitable.
There are no losses and very few risks
TO be met with in the business.
Early lambs, fat wethers, wool and
pelts always bring good prices and
find ready market. Besides, sheep
bring mp the condition of the farm,
and, as the old adage has ii, 'turns the
earth to gold wherever their footprints
are found" Nothing will improve a
farm so well as a course of husbandry
in sheep, well selected aud judiciously
followed. Sheep can be made the sal
walton of a poor farm, aud if more of
onr farmers would keep more sheep
larger share Of prosperity would be
the result.-Ee.

The consumers of western made lard
may not enjoy the statement made by
a correspondent Of Chicago daily
newspaper, wherein he says that in
the county of Sangamon $4,000 hogs
have died of cholora these were then
brought into Springfield and rendered,
one firm alone making 1000 tierces of
grease from diseased animals. A cor
respondent of the Country Gentleman
saws that "what is true of Sangamon
county is true also of several hundred
dred other counties in the cholera re-
gions, so that the cholsra-tainted lard
or grease, instead of being measured
by the 1000 tierces, should be meas
ured by the fifty or hundred thousand.
Considering the high price of No. /
lard and the general debauchery in
trade, politics and morals, it is not at
all improbable that considerable por-
ton of this tainted grease will go on
the markets of the world as No. 2 lard,
'for cooking purposes" This is a
rather nauseating state of affairs for
those who depend upon the market for
their supply of lard; still, for the sake
of the good name OF humanity, we
hope it is not as bad as the above cor
respondence would make it.

How to Keep Butter Sweet.

A friend assures us that his wife al
ways keeps butter sweet or removes
rancid taste and odor from it by means
of charcoal packed in the vessels with
it. She cuts smooth sticks Of charcoal,
and, after washing the dus from them,
shoves them through the butter per-
pendicularly, allowing them to remain
IN the vessels until the butter is con-
sumed. Fresh butter will never be-
come rancid if thus packed, while ran
cid butter viii soon become as sweet
as ever. This may be valuable hint
to people who make butter TO sell.--E1.

The Patrons and the Centennial


1t turns out that the arrangements
inaugurated by the Patrons of Hus-
bandry for their Centennial Encamp-
ment viii furnish almost the only plan
yet proposed tor visiting the great ex-
position with any degree of economy
or comfort. The rates to and from the
ground-only fifteen cents both ways
or ten cents one way, are much lower
than any other arrangement proposed,
and the charge of fifty cents for lodg-
ing and fifty cents for each meal is full
ly fifty per cent. cheaper than that pro-
posed in the city. a Philadelphia
correspondent writes:
"The Patrons may have hay seed in
their locks, but they certainly have
brains under their hair When the
Patrons of Pennsylvania met in sol
emn State Convention and discussed

prices within The city, they came TO
