THE LEGISLATURE.

Two weeks from to-day the legisla-
ture will convene for its biennial revis-
ion of state affairs. 1t will be an ex-
ceptional legislative body in its politi-
cal constitution, and this unusual feature
will devolve upon the Republicans a
peculiar responsibility. Practically the
legislature will be unanimously Repub-
lican. The opposition in the house is
so infnitessimal as to deprive 1t of all
significance as well as to relieve it of all
responsibility for the results of the ses-
sion. The Republicans will therefore
be held accountable for what is done or
left undone, and be equally entitled to
all the honor they can win by an earn
est, faithful and efficient discharge of
their political stewardship.
While it is beyond dispute that the
affairs of the state under Republican
rule have been managed with wisdom,
prudence and economy. it is not true
that we have reached point in that
direction where no further improvement
is possible. 1t will be the foremost
duty of the legislature to examine care
fully into the questions which underlie
our material prosperity-questiou of
taxation and revenue. 1t is the general
complaint that taxes are not levied
equally, and that all the legitimate
sources of revenue are not fully utilized.
Laws are demanded that will place the
support of the state government in a
fair aud just proportion on the should
ers of each citizen, that will defeat all
those devices by which, from avarice or
other interested motives, any citizen
shirks the payment of his just share of
the revenues of the state. Our listing
law is conceded to be exceedingly de-
fective. 1t is susceptible of changes
that will render it effective, either by
amendment or by the enactment of a
new law, and measures for the reforma-
ton of the evils growing out of the in
efficiency of the existing law should be
promptly and fearlessly undertaken and
carried through in the interest of all
the people without distinction of any
class. Vermont is, and always will be
an agricultural state. 1t is the general
complaint, and with evident justice
that the acres of the farmer feel, with
a weight greatly disproportioned to thai
borne by other property, the burden Of
taxation. To equalize taxation on {
just and equitable basis, or to lighter
the burden of general taxation by q
revenue raised from sources which nov
either pay no revenue or revenue dis
portioned to their value, will be tn,
paramount duty of the Republican legis
lators, and they must make up thei
minds to meet it wisely. fearlcssly anc
honestly. The task must be taken VI
at the commencement of the session ant
pushed forward with honest zeal ant
energy to its early conclusion. and no
left till the closing days or the fna
hours of the session. If nothing else i

CALEDONIA COUNTY FAIR.
Like all the fairs held in this count

Like all the fairs held in this county,
it was success in amount of exhibits,
attendance and interest. The Secre-
taries report larger number of entries
than a year ago. From observation on
Wednesday, we judged the stock depart
ment. with the exception of oxen, not
quite as good as for the last few years.
There were herds and animals from
most of the leading stock raisers of the
county. The Jerseys predominated as
dairy animals though there was some
Ayershires, short-horns and devons.
The sheep pens were full with many
good animals. though none could be
called extraordinary. In horses and
colts there was good number of ami
mails, but they are not up to that high
standard exhibited in this county when
the Morgans were more numerous. Most
good horses are sold out of the county
as soon as fit for market. In steers and
oxen probably no better show was
ever made in the state. There we're
ten yokes that weighed over 1000,
several nearly 5000, and string of
eight yokes from Barnet. that weighed
On the average 4,24s. Waterford came
next with eight yokes averaging 1867,
St. Johnsbury followed with eight Jokes
averaging 1862 and Lyndon with eight
Jokes weighing on the average 1867.
The prettiest and almost the heaviest,
was pair which was formerly owned.
in Orleans County by Mr.. BLY, of Char
lesion, this was pair of twins that
lately sold for $500 1t was said that
there were seventy yokes of oxen and
steers on the ground. The Poultry de-
partment was very full, and embraced all
the fancy breeds of hens, with fair
sprinkling of geese and turkeys. There
were not the usual amount of mechani-
cal wares, we judge, though the Wood
reaper and self binder, the Rollins horse
powers and separators, various plows,
pumps and others articles were shown.
In the vegetable and fruit line there
was very creditable display. Floral
Hall was not so full as it Is sometimes,
but We were informed by those who
claimed to know, that the exhibits there
we're of a very excellent order. The
horse trotting on fair days was not ex-
citing. On Thursday the trotting was
quite sharp and exciting. On Wednes-
day there was lively walking match
in which there were three contestants.

the first prize. Henry Wilkins of White

out that in that section of Aroostook
county. settled by French Canadians
chiefly, that the vote for Plaisted is very
heavy. being gain over the vote last
year sufficient to give the greenbacker
a slight plurality. Nothing but an
official count will determine the result.
This election defeats every party engaged
in it. The republicans hoped to carry
the state by electing governor, major

of congress. They made large gain
in the legislature, increased their vote
several thousand over last year, saved
their three members of Congress and
stand an even chance to get governor.

strength in the legislature, gain nothing.
