MARITIME RIvsLkY.

The. chief difficulty which Amer
lean ship owners have had to en-
counter in the sharp rivalry for the
carrying trade in late years has been
the rel lively higher cost OF manning
and provisioning their vessels. Thus

than maritime commerce. American
vessels cannot compete successfully
with other flags until they can be a,
shsaply manned. and until American
owners ars satisfied with as slender re.

CHANGE.-The present session Of the leg
islature promises to be carnival of icono-
clasts. Irreverent hands are already raised
against institutions gray with the age of
centuries. The grand jury, an institution
of our Saxon ancestors, is vigorously at
tackled by the image-breakers. A bill intro
duced Tuesday by Mr.. Taft Of Burlington
contemplates radical notifications in this
tribunal that amount practically to its abo-
lition. Changes in the scope of the petit
Jury, and in the system of administering
justice, are numerously suggested, and all
the people apparently say amen to these
contemplated changes, which are believed
TO be wholesome and intended to place our
laws and institutions more in harmony with
the altered condition Of things, and the wants
and requirements of the people in the last
half of this progressive century. But great
caution should be taken against any hasty
or ill-considered invasion of the long estab-
lished system and usage of the state. In
calculable injury and confusion may result
to our commonwealth if innovations in the
laws are made, respecting which public
sentiment has not already ripened into
positive conviction, as is the case with most
of the reforms 80 vigorously called for al
this time.

ton which had yesterday with an Eng
lish manufacturer. After showing him
through our mills inquired what was the
price for the same class of work. He re-
piled, About twelve shillings week.
This is about fifty cents a day, while the
price here is from three to four times as
much" And nothing but the protective
tariff prevents the goods of the English
manufacturer coming to this country to
undersell the American manufacturer. If
the English monopolist can secure in this
country the adoption of "a tariff for rev.
enue only" he can drive American COM
petition out of the field. The manufacturer
who pays one or two dollars a day for
wages cannot long hold his own against the
manufacturer who pays only fifty cents. 1t
would be a profitable thing to English
manufacturers to contribute million dol
lars to the Democratic party with "a tariff
revenue only" And it would be strange
sight to see American voters hired by
British gold to vote the bread out of tn eli
own mouths.

Educational.

Before us lies the report Of the state su-
perintendent Of public instruction. 1t is
noteworthy for its accurate and minute sta
tistics, its practical suggestions, and - its
quotations Considerable space is devoted
to a justification Of the textbook law Of the
last session, and to the exhibition Of its re-
suits. From the tabular statements Of the
appendix we find that, through the volun.
tary action Of the town committees in en-
deavoring to secure uniformity by counties,
there was really closer approach to such
uniformity throughout the state than any
one would have naturally expected. Apple
toms Readers were adopted by one hundred
and thirteen towns, Reed and Kellogg's
Graded English by one hundred and sixty
seven towns, Anderson's United States His
tories by one hundred and seven towns,
Guyot's Biographies by one hundred and
nine towns, and Greeneaf's Arithmetic by
one hundred and eighty-six towns. These
statements seem TO us TO show most conclu-
sively that uniformity throughout the state
commended itself to the good sense of the
people. To secure the result attained, the
service of more than seven hundred and
fifty men for certainly not less than four
days each on the average were required, or
in all three thousand days time. Would 1t
have taken five men two years to have &C.
complished the same work as satisfactorily
As it was, were the book agents counted
out How many private libraries Of su.
perintendents were replenshed with miscel-
lanies ? And how many Of these state Off
GERS became shady factors of booksellers :
While the nominal expense was slight, the
real draft on time and attention of those
concerned was heavy. But there are two
offsetting considerations - first, great
many people know what books the children
study, and, secondly, the booksellers entered
into competition that forced the prices to
a minimum. We incline to believe that the
superintendent gives roseate view of the
actual condition of our normal schools, but
of his recommendations concerning them
and of other matters in this line, more here
after. The report is well worth reading by
all who are interested in our schools

A Proud REcoRp.-In a recent speech
that old war-horse, Martin /. Townshend of
Troy, well said; "Sx thousand millions
of dollars were expended that the country
might put down organized Democracy. This
had to be paid. During the war, while the
battles were raging, we paid s3,300,000,0OO,
little over one-hslf. In 1855, when the
war had ended, the debt was still more than
s2,70O,OO0,000. We were told that it couldn't
be paid that no nation ever paid such a
debt We were told that the national debt
of England was s4,00O,O00,0O0, but 81 ,30O,-
100000 more than our own, aud that for
years and years England had rested under
it and had not advanced step towards its
payment. Wa were told that the debt
should be repudiated. But We said, No,
the honor of the country is pledged 10 the
payment, and there is power latent in the
nation strong enough to redeem any pledge
In the last fifteen years we have paid $780,
100000 Of it aud now there is less than 81 :
OOO,O00,O00."

An Instructive Contrast.

In referring to the Republican and Dem
ocratic demonstrations in that city, the New
York Times of the 10Th instant says "The
Tammany parade had its uses in showing
the kind Of men-and boys-who are sup
posed to desire change in the national ad-
ministration; last nights Republican parade
was very impressive demonstration on the
part of those who think that no change is
necessary. To the impartial or doubling
voter no contrast could be much more in
structive than that between the struggling
lines of Manufactured Democratic process
sionists and the compact, well-ordered ranks
of the sixty thousand intelligent, law-abid-
ing citizens who made so imposing display
last night of their unalterable devotion to
Republican principles. Tammany exhibited
to New York the kind of popular sovereignty
which is represented by the corner loafer
and the rowdy; the Republicans showed the
sovereign people who are the custodans Of
our morality, our education, our commerce.
The least reflective observer might infer the
nature of the change which would attend
the substitution Of the Tammauy rag, tag
and bobtail for the men who were so we'll
represented in the parade Of yesterday. II
is many day since New York has seen a
sight better calculated TO show how broad
and deep are the foundations of the great
Republican party. Never in all the history
of the party has 1t given on the eve of q
close and exciting election, and in the very
citadel of Democracy, evidence 30 conyinc
ing Of approaching triumph"

Election Of Representatives.

A bill was introduced in the house Tues
day which provides that after one unavail-
ing ballot shall have been had for town rep
resentative on freeman's meeting day, a plu-
rality shall elect on the succeeding ballot
and after" This bill will hardly become
law. There are obvious objections against
it. The composition of a legislative assem-
bly, should be guarded by all reasona BILE
checks against the election Of men unfit, for
any reason, for legislative duties. A plu-
rality rule after the first ballot, while it
might occasionally result in the election of
worthy men, would in the great majority of
cases render it easier for designing or I'M
scrupulous men, or men whose ambition ex-
ceeds their capacity, to obtain seats in the
legislature The reasons which have pre-
vailed in certain general elections for the
adoption of the plurality rule do not prevail
with decisive force in the election of an Off
Ger where the body of voters is small and
can assemble together in one voting place, as
is the case in every town in Vermont. In
general elections, where the voters are scat
tered over large territory, where several
days must elapse before an official sum-
mary of the votes cast can be made, and
where if an absolute majority is insisted
upon the voters must be assembled again at
great expense and inconvenience there is
reason in adopting the plurality rule. But
in town meeting the voters OF NINA
ture republic are convened in a small and
compact body, the vote for representative is
readily counted and announced, and if no
one has majority another ballot is easily
and quickly taken. In great majority OF
cases, majority so large as to amount prac-
tically to the whole, an election of represen-
tative by majority vote speedily follows
the declaration of the first ballot, which, in
cases where it is not final, serves to indicate
the popular preference. If no strong OBJ
lection on the score of character or general
fitness exists against the leading candidate
on the first ballot, he, as rule, ultimately
receives the election. If a candidate is OBJ
jectionable, the enforcement Of the majority
rule will defeat his election, while the plur-
atty rule might render it possible. The
majority rule the better protects the rights
of the minority. 1t is more in harmony
with the bottom principle Of our govern
ment. If, in certain localities, party strife
Or local interests indefinitely prolong the
balloting for representative, so far from
ending the contest by the easy application
of a plurality rule, this may be the very In
stance where the rights of the minority and
the interests of good government may i'm
peratively demand the close adherence Il
the majority rule. Wherever powerful
reasons do not intervene to relax the rigit
adherence to the majority rule, Vermont
will be unwilling to let up on its rigid re
tention in our elections, local or general.
