dentistry, and protect the people against
cmpiricism IN relation thereto.
Senators Mead. Ballard and Belden favor
ed the passage OF the hill.
Senator Dwinell opposed the bill on the
ground that there were some sixty towns IN

Deane replied t. the argument.
Senator Batiel criticised the framework OF
the bill. Senator Beiden. in reply, said that
the censorship provided for In the bill
would practically result in no greater in
Justice than the censorship that governed
applications for membership of the bar.
Senator Writers objected to the bill on
principle. The application OF the proposed

and other workmsn would illustrate the alb
surdity Of this bill.

TuF South Carolina Democrats make no
secret of the methods they used to make
Democratic majorities when most OF the
voters voted the other way. The Charleston
Ne,rs. having printed a report that one pre-
cinct in Sumter county had given Republi-
can majority, correspondent writes that the
precinct gave Democratic majority OF 100,
and adds "If 100 majority is not enough,
say how many more you need, and oar 'eN
cforts nor IN reserve will be put in motion.
This has been rarely paralleled for unblush-
ing villainy. Tilden's famous circular, ask
ing that the vote of the interior towns might
be sent to the Tammany headquarters as
early as possible on the day OF election IN
1865, had the same motive, but Tweed and
Tilden did not avow their purpose 70 tamper
with the vote Of New York city, nor did
they publish their circular in the news
papers, though it attained wide publicity
No Northern man or newspaper is so shame
less as to defend these villainies. but some
deny their existence, though the evidence IN
Southern Democratic papers alone Is over
whelming.

WHETHER or not the present attitude oil
the Administration toward the SOUTH may
be termed a change of policy, the fact re-
mains-and it is a very important fact-that
the yiolators Of the election laws in the
States Of Louisiana, Florida and South caro-
lima during the recent canvass are to be pro-
secuted vigorously. The doubt with regard
to the attitude Of the President, if there be
anv, seems to be merely with regard to
terms and not to facts.

TnE only material change made by the
Legislature in the State Offices, filed yester-
day. was in the Authorship of Accounts.
As to that VIC must say that frequent changes
in responsible Offices requiring experience as
well as fidelity and capacity for the best dis
charge of the duties, seem to US altogether
ill-adyised. From that point of view we
cannot applaud the change OF Auditor But
If the Legislature was bound to make a
change, there can be no objection to the
choice made, except that to which the ap-
pointment of Auditor Ladd two years ago
was open-viz.: the general objection,
alluded to by Governor Proctor in his
message, against the filing OF important
offices in the gift of the Legislature with
members of the Legislature. OF course we
would not say that there can be no proper
exceptions to the general rule recommended
alike bv the Governor and BY common sense.
This may be one Col. Powell is one OF the
Senators from Franklin county. lie is
gen tleman Of unimpeachable character, and
undoubted capacity. We have no doubt thai
he will mako trusty and faithful Auditor,
and we only hope that two years hence
when he has the experience Of term in his
office, he may not be crowded out by some
member of the next Legislature.

would make it a crime to sell barrel O

MONTPELIER, NOV. 10. lS'O'
To the Editor .. the Free Press and lines
About everyone went home last Saturday
evidently thinking that they would not
haye another opportunity until the close oil
the session. The result was rather sleepy
forenoon 10 both Houses, but particularly IN
the Senate. The Senate, however, passeu
one bill originating in that body which Is
of general interest. The bill authorizes the
Governor to hire counsel in certain cases.
Since We are to have no Attorney uenefsi
some such a measure Is needed.
The resolution of Senator Belden limiting
speeches to ten minutes will tend to expedite
business in these last days when there are
hardly hours enough left to kill all the bills
still under consideration.
The Governor has returned, without his
approval, the Senate bill relative to arrears
of nav due to the soldiers Of the late war.
| The bill provides that all claims against the
State for arrears of State pay due the
soldiers shall be presented to the Treasurer
by June lst, or be forever barred. Like all
of Gov. Proctor's papers, the veto message
reads strong and clear.
To morrow, the last fight will be made IN
the House over the bill to cut down the
salaries of State officers. 1t is difficult Tor
the members to get at Just how much WORK
is done in the several othces and therefore
lust how much the officers should be
