INCLUDE NEW ENGLAND.

The Blaine Committee, appointed to go
oyer the old ground and investigate State
charges Of Southern intimidation, ought,
by all means, TO include some Of the New
England States in their inquiries. No
worse system, or one more open to corrup-
ton and fraud, was ever known than that
Of the township" system at present in
vogxe in Vermont and Connecticut. The
old and rotten English borough elections,
By which, in one instance, two members OF
Parliament were regularly returned from
an old town-site that had not contained a
house for years, simply on the ground that
the borough had been established during
the reign Of Edward Ill. (and these two
members were elected by one man-the
owner of the land), was but little worse
than, this township system, as practiced N
these two States. The New Haven Union
gives some facts in this connection, and
states. that every town in Vermont is given
one Representative in the Legislature with
out regard to population, which is only a
slight improvement on the plan in Connec-
ticut, which gives many very small wi
two, or as many as large cities like New
Haven, Hartford, Mcriden Bridge
port. There arc 242 towns in Vermont;
half Of these contain, by the last census,
al, 941 inhabitants, or more than three
fourths of the whole $50, ISL. In these III
towns, therefore, one Representative
speaks for 2,041 people, but in the other
121 for only $50. Carrying the analysis
still further, it is found that over one
half Of the population is in the GO places
having over 800 inhabitants each, and the
average representation in these is one for
every 2,7G3 people, while these % Repre-
sentativcs are offset in the Legislature by
the members from 60 other towns which
have less than 700 inhabitants elch, and
send q man to Montpelier for every 440
souls. But the grossness Of the outrage
only appears when one reflects that the
two almost uninhabited townships Of Som
srset and Baltimore, with but so and SO
people respectively, have as large a repre-
sentation in the lower branch of the Leg
~islature as Burlington and Rutland, with
their united population Of 29,219.
To show more clearly the unfairness of
this system, let us apply it to Nevada. By
this law, Hamilton, in White Pine county,
with its one hundred inhabitants, would
be entitled to the same representation as
Eureka, with its six thousand souls. To
nave the representation of the New En-
gland States in Congress CHM that the
South has an unjust system Of representa-
ton, is what Artemus Ward would have
called a s'sarkasm." If such a system
does exist, let it be remedied, but let the
remedy be applied to every State in the
Union.

And now it becomes our duty to chronicle
an event in which three men had a hair
breadth escape from watcry grave. The
narrow gauge surveying party arrived At
Lebanon last Saturday evening. and Thielsen
and one Of his men, not relishing the idea of
staying out there until Monday, began hunt.
ing around for some way to get TO Albany.
At last they ran across ]. l. Cowan. our gen.
ial County Clerk, and Ike Conn. the jolly
saw.mill man, and they happening to be Of
the same mind as Theilsen, arrangements
were soon made to come down here the next
merning. Conn had lot of lumber up there,
and they soon constructed raft OF il, five
feet broad by thirty in lcugth, and i've of
them boarding il started down the canal for
this city. Wherever fence crossed the
canal tho farmers had thrown long pole
aerOss, only about two or three feet above
the wator, and cur Voyagors varied the mo-
notony Of their course by jumping over them
or STOPPING down and passing under. When
they had come down quito distance they
came to one Of those poles which locked
strong aud stoat, and Thielsen having passed
under Conn coming next thought no would
lay his hands on it and jump over. lie did
So. but the pole, or rather a small log, brsks
almost in two and sagged down in the mid.
die. throwing him tiAt on his back ON the
raft, but on the lower aide Of the pole. The
other throo men were not 20 fortunate; they
had stOopad down To mass nndar ,rJ .k.
current being very swift, before they could
get up, the pole had raked the last one of
them of into tho water. Conn tells us that
such foundering around in water has not
been seen aince the days Of the deluge At
last they made the bank aad footed it down
10 where Conn and Thielsen had stopped the
raft, and then embarked again. The re-
of the voyage was made without any
nishap, but being wet to the skin We sup
pose at least three of tho party did not enjoy
i very well.

We have in our city an organization which
from philanthrOpic point of view, deserves
more encouragement than any other. We
allude to the Albany Ladies' Aid Society.
This organization Is wholly of charitable
and self sacrificing nature. The members
comprising it are only endeavoring to per-
form the duties of the ''Good Samaritan" /"
without money and without price, They
work, sew, visit the sick, and often neglect
their own household duties to attend the
home of the afflicted aud distressed. There
is no duty more noble, no act more deserv-
ing Of csmmendation. Tonight they give a
fair and festival at the Opera House Will
the citizens of our community encourage as
well as aid them in their laudable purpose
by attending this festival? The cost will be
trihing and we are sure the members of the
Society will present sufficient entertainment
for every one. Don't fail to go.
