TIE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOE
THE LEGISLATURE.

From the Rutland HERALD and Globe.1
The Vermont Legislature is heartily
abused by the press OF the state, az
often as it meets, as " the weakest
body that ever assembled at the Capt.
toll" as slow in motion, wasteful OF
time and barren Of useful and econo-
mical legislation. If the press may be
taken as the voice Of the people, the
Vermont legislature is bit Of consti-
tutional co3tliness, measured by the
worth of their work, and the time
spent in its performance. The crti-
cism is not just; the fault is not with
the Legislature; 1t is with the people
who yell economy with the emphasis
and incessant iteration Of mass
meeting Of lunatics, and yet stoutly
refuse to strike trenchant blow fo1
real economy when they have . chance.
The ineiiiciency and costliness of the
Vermont Legislature is inseparabIe
from its fatal defect of organisation
it is Inefficient and dilatory simply
because it is unwieldly in size and IN
equal III its composition from the fact
that the representation is by towns
instead OF by population. 1t is moi
republican in form and is necessarily
costly since the House is nearly

prosperity, from unconstitutional re-
pu1ncau.sm TO Constitutional demOc-
lacy.' Says The Georgia orator IA
his Own iony manner; "Tu take this
country by The hand and lead it b4c.,
to glory aud prosperity is the mission
OF the Democracy" This is 4 new
statement OF it, OF else there's been a
change u EMISSION" since the party
last had chance to control the Gov
ernmens lis mission then was very
obviously to take this country 10y the
throat instead Of by the hand, and as
for leading ii to giory-it may be so
bat we su, pect the country would have
reached ii in the same way with the
young girl whose Suffering ended
with the day"
Doubtless Mr.. Hill speaks by the
card when he announces this mission
oil the Democracy, and we may as we'll
get ready for the procession. The ma
tions Of the eartn will accordingly fall
out on either side and let the Democ-
racy lead in the American Republic
by the hand, with Mr.. Ben Hill as
master OF ceremonies, Possibly the
Muse OF History VIII recognize both
Mr.. Ben Hiil and the red-nosed party
that has taken the country by the hand
and will say, "l've seen tins gang be-
fore. Eighteen years ago they took
this coantry by tie hand and under
took TO lead it 10 glory as Abraham
did Isaac, with a carving-knlfe and
many fagots. But l thought she was
rescued. How is tAis?" And Mr..
Ben Hill will petulantIy reply, ''Oh,
why cali up the past and revive the
animosities Of the war? All thai is
over, and we are LOW a happy and
united people. The Democratic party
has magnanimously forgiven the per.
sons VINO stopped the way when we
started to lead the country up to glory
in 1861, and has consented to resume
its mission. We have now startrc
out once more for Glory, and this
time propose to fetch it sure" Thel
the herald will proclaim, "Mak'

i Democracy come this way, leading
the American Republic back to Glory.
And all the world will fall back il

will meditatiyely remark: ''Well, i

Eutt0r o. Me Herald.
DEAR &IR,-Permit me through the
medium of your popular journal to
give q brief notice of the term Of
school recently closed in your village.
The number Of students enrolled is
55, five less than last summer, but
notwithstanding the fact that there
were fever pupils attending school
this fall, the general average was
higher. The Instances of hardness
are only about one half as many as
last term. Also the names against
which no marks oftardjness, dismissal,
or absence occur have doubled.
In regard to the application of the
students TO their studies in many cases
decided improvement is apparent.
Some Of the classes have gone over
nearly twice IS much ground in their
studies rs III the summer and appear
to understand the master better. OF
course as we advance in u treatise
apon a subject tie text becomes more
difficult. Still a gcodiy number by
their close application made very
cUmmendable advancement, and mas
tered new topics with bat little assist
ancc. The names OF the girls having
40 marks Of hardness. dismissal, or
absence, are Maud King and Elsie
Fletcher; Of the boys, Eugene Han
son, Ellison Kimpton, and Percy
Horr. Edmund Garland had only a
mark for half days absence, when he
attended q funeral, acting as one Of
the bearers. The zeal manifested in
their studies and the good deport-
ment of some of the students, and the
interest of some Of the parents in the
school was highly appreciated and
will be long remembered by the
teacher. There is no better way to
become acquainted with the general
management Of a school and learn
the kind Of work done in the school
room than by personal visit to each
department by the parents and inter
ested friends.
Hoping that the success of the
school in the future will reach the
highest hopes Of its patrons.
| am, your obedient servant,

in a recent issue is anythingbut
complimentary to the intelli-
gence and Republicanism of our

ent legislature IS quite worthy
of a people "hidebound in old
prejudices," and that the legis-
lature is good enough fora spec
pie that are not willing to use
their power to organize a better
one" 1t bcwails the fact that
Judge Poland plays Triton a.
mong a shoal of insignificant

that, it refers to the representa-
ton of the county of Essex.
