A SOUND SPEECH. Senator Nor.
rill of Vermont is one the sound
men on the currency question. His
speech in the Senate yesterday
punctured a good many humbugs,
and it's arguments were enforced by
numerous quaint and striking illus.
trations. He exposed the folly of
keeping any specific amount of le-
gal tender notes in circulation, that
course throwing the whole cost of
maintaining specie payments upon
the government instead of the ma
tional banks. The inter.cOnvertible
bond project he left without a leg to
stand upon, and his argument ap.
plies to bonds bearing gold interest,
as we'll as to those bearing currency.
The idea that we could get back to
specie payments by receiving depre-
ciated paper at the custom houses
he characterizes as the "bOomerang"
policy. He was equally severe
against the ''growing up" policy, OF
which Senator Bautwell is an advo-
cate, estimating that we should not
grow up to the present volume Of
paper money until we have a popu-
lation of considerably more than
100000. Mr.. Morrill, stated very
stronly some of the evils of infla-
ton, the decentralization resulting
from false standard and broken
promises, and the idea of trying
all sorts of expedients to make mon
ey plenty without earning it. He
closed by asking all honest men to
unite for honest money. The dis.
cussion that followed, however, at
once fell into party conflict, in
which no progress was made. How
absurd that such question cannot
be settled above party and on the
basis of simple truth.-Boston Her.

TuEpr u'as some very plain speak
ing at the meeting held in Charles
ton, s. o., last week to commend
Governor Chamberlain for refusing
to sign the commissions of some Of
the newly cleo ted judges. One
speaker said: "The only resort
which the corrupt majority can have
is by impeachment. If general
Grant, the president of the United
States, thinks that Governor Cham
berlain ought to be impeached, then
if he will erect the United States
flag over the state house, and sta.
ton his soldiery outside while that
impeachment is going on, it may be
safely done. We never intend to
fight against the United States
again. Cheers] But if this legis-
lature, without that United States
flag floating over them, attempt to
impeach the governor-well! l

agent that held policies OH their

VERMONTERs can read with
considerable degree of complacency
tho wall that is going up from the
governors Of the several states rel
alive to the vast increase of state
indebtedness, when they remember
that the wise policy which has been
pursued in this state has led to a
practical extinction of our entire in
debtedness. However much 1t may
be needed in other states, there
seems to DO no necessity here for a
constitutional restriction on the
power of the legislature to borrow
money for state purposes.

it will be found not to have exceeded $4,000, Us

In the last mentioned year We Lave appropri-
atcd $4,000 for the leper establishment, while
for 1872. $50, 900 was all that wr5 deemed nee
essary. In addition to this huge appropriation,
the Board of Health have been allowed SI2,0 900
each year for physicians and nurses and for general
expenses. This may be all right; but appropria-
tions of such magnitude should be better clas-
sifed than to leave so much room for incidentals
In view of this subject, remembering that the
country is really poorer than it was in 1862, it
seems undeniable that our obvious policy to-day
is one Of retrenchment in every possible direction.
If we would escape the abyss of financial and
political ruin towards which we are drifting, we
must speedily reverse the policy of the past,
whereby we have squandered eighty per cent. of
our income on salaries and government expenses,
disbursing only twenty Per cent. for public
improvements and nothing for the recuperation
Of the nation.
