The proposal of amendment TO the consti-
ton, introduced by Senator Hugh Henry of
Windsor county, proposes to make the low
er branch of our Legislature body of 100
members, TO be apportioned among the
counties according to population. If it
should become part OF the constitution, the
counties would be divided into representative
districts, each containing about ZOO inhabi
tants or about 800 voters.
There are weighty reasons Why such
change should be made, chief among wlichis;
First, that the present system is grossly I'M
fair and unrepublican. There is no reason
why the town of ST. George, with ninety
three inhabitants and twenty -four voters,
should have the same representation as the
city of Burlington with more than a hundred
times as many why Somerset with "a IN
habitants and Is voters should have an equal
vote on every legislative question with St.
Adams with over 1000 inhabitants and
1900 votcs-why Baltimore with a popula-
ton Of Il, should equal Rutland with its
1900. When the system of town rcprcscn-

The Record Of W. H, English.

A Lamoille county friend asks lis to sketch
the course OF Mr. English, Democratic can
didate for Vice President of the United
States, in reference to slavery and secession,
when he was in Congress in go and 81. 1t
seems almost like raking over the record of
a dead man, to recall the attitude and action
of one who has gone under as completely as
Mr. English But some OF the facts about
him are as follows: He is on record in u
speech delivered in 1856, as bitter pro-slavery
Democrat, Boosting of the promptnesS with
which fugitive slaves escaping into Indiana
were delivered back 10 their masters, and
maintaining that the clause in the Missouri
compromise act restricting slavery forever
did not mean forever in the territories but
only during the existence of the territorial
government 4 little later he is on record
as proposing measure which was
in effect an attempt 10 bribe the
people of Kansas te enter the Onion as
pro-slavcry State. December 10, 1860,
he introduced in Congress bill containing
the following provision:
Whenever fugitive shall be rescued from his
master, or from the proper United States officers,
by reason ui mob violence OF STATE legislation OF
laws conflict with the constitution or laws OF the
United States, OF whenever slave shall be III ike
manner rescued from ns master while IN tfdHsifu
through any npn--lay ehOng State. the city. coun-
ty or township ia which such rescue IS made snail
be liable 10 The MASTER IN double the value OF the
slave, recoverable IN the United states Court.
On the 14th Of January, 1861, after seccs-
sion had become an accomplished fact, Mr.
English voted against II resolution providing
for arnIng and disciplining the militia of
the District of Columbia; and month later
he voted against bill giving the President
authority Ito accept the services Of volun-
teers," in case OF instruction against the
authority of the United States he also voted
in favor of resolution declaring the act of
Gen. Scott in gathering eight companies of
the regular army at Washington t. e lin
polite and offensive"
On the eth of February, 1861, Mr.. Eng
fish cast his vote in favor OF 4 proposition to
amend the Constitution so as to forever pro-
hibit Congress or any Territorial legislature
from interfering with slavery in all National
territory south of 36 deg. 30 min.; also, pre-
viding that slavery should not be abolished
in the District of Columbia, and that no
negro should beallowed to vote in the United
States or hold any Federal, State or munich
pal Office.
As Mr.. English left Congress in 1861, be
fore the actual outbreak of the war his SYM
pathy with Shareholders and secessionists was
thereafter necessarily confined to extending
to them such aid and comfort as very mean
and misery private citizen of a Northern
State might render Blu, he had said and
done enough in his public capacity 10 Show
where his sympathies lay, and TO prove him
self wholly unfit to be honored with the sec
ond place in the Government, OF the Nation.
| OF that, however, since his own State sat
down on Mr. English, there is fortunately no

The Washington correspondent OF the Bos-
lon Jo41nal SAYS that there is Democratic
plot to he carried into effect in Congress, in
connection with the counting of the electoral
votes, when, if there is any possible prItext,
the votes of Republican States are 10 be
thrown out. To pave the way for this aiii-
dayits are being collected with reference to
Indiana, also Maine and like efforts will be
made in other States if Garfield shall carry
them The sensational kilograms sent out
by the Democratic National Committee pre-
lending 10 report discoveries of Republican
frauds are part Of the programme to prepare
public sentiment for carving out the scheme.

Coy. PAGES proposition to restore the
standing committee on bills, is a good one.
With proper attention from such a commit
Tee, such errors as have sometimes occurred
in the engrossed bills. for want of careful
scrutiny, would be impossible. 1t is said,
and we suppose is the case, that the railroad
tax law of 1876 contains a section which
was never passed by tho Legislature The
section which provides that no road bed and
track shall be assessed by the listers of any
town or city at valuation exceeding two
thousand dollars nile, was rejected on the
final passage of the bill, but it appears in the
act. as published among the session laws.
The third section of the same bill provides
that the real estate of any railroad shall he
exempt from taxation for fee years from its
completion, and the section following says
that when any such railroad has been COM
pletci for the period of eight years ii shall be
taxed. There should of course be some way
Of preventing such careless legislation. And
committee On bills, whose duty it is TO
examine the text, see that the bills are ac-
curatcly cnsrossed and suggest needful yer

HIS REMARKS TO A VISITING DELEGATION.

Trumbull county people visited General
Garfield to-day at Mentor The Introductory
speech was made by Judge Taylor, recently
elected Gen. Garfield's successor in the
House Gen. Garfield replied as follows;
Ladies and Gentlemen You have no
idea what it is to me to look out on this
circle of faces. There have been a good
many strangers in this yard tie last two
weeks. There are some strangers perhaps
here now, but in this circle all along its line
there are faces that flash back the memories
of those twenty years past-years full OF
trouble, full of questions, full of events, full
of friendship, full of victories, full of all that
goes to make up the life of public and pri
waite friendship on this western rcser~e. You
cannot know what strength II brings
to me to see these friends, who Stood not by
me alone but by the cause they believed |
represent, and stood by it in the most unset
fish earnest, Intelligent, fOrcblc and effect
i've manner, during all these years. Why,
see men on this circle who, in the whole Of
this long time have never betrayed me by
any sign or any word that they hal the least
purpose of their own 10 serve but only the
purpose to serve their country and It's hes.
interests, and that their friendship for me
was largely, ii not altogether, because they
thought was capable of rendering some scr
vice TO the cause they loved and the country
they served. \ man with such friendships
around lin, with such support behind him,

of such hearts as these, out Of the forces Of
such people as these there can grow all tina.

St1utions. know not what awaits me in
the future never discount it 50 far rs it
relates to myself. never allow myself TO
be c!aied with what may b., nor depressed
with what may be, but | do say this, that |
can't conceive that the time Can ever come
when the friendship of these men that are
gathered in this yard to-day can be anything
but dear to me and Of the greatest possible
value in strengthening my heart and hope,
IN what ever fields my work may be. |

ment day and with all the circumstances ap-
parently against it, you have made your

CABLE dispatches Indicate that the situa-
ton in Ireland is extremely critical and that
there is great excitement throughout Eng
land on account Of the threatening attitude
Of public affairs. The determination of the
government TO prosecute the leading men Of
the Land Leaguers promises to bring to
head a, once the difficulties that have been
revived by recent agitation. 1t is said that
formidable opposition has sprung up in the
cabinet against bringing the accused Land
Leaguer7 to London for trial, but the diff
culties in the way Of holding the trials in
ireland are of such nature as TO render it
doubtful if satisfactory trials can be had
there. The agitation will not be quietod, it
is asserted, until movement for confed-
eracy of the three kingdoms instead of the
present union will have either exhausted it.
