VERMONTS SENATORS.

Gath" in letter to the Cincinnati
Enquirer, says:
Justin Morrill,, of Vermont, is one of
the most respectable Senators we have
had in Washington. He belongs to the
utilitarian type of Yankee radical, but
not aggressive III political things, and
always designing something for the
benefit of larger classes of the people,
such as farmers, students and authors.
He has had charge virtually Of the
Capitol building for years past, and
under his infuen &C the library and the
statuary have come out strong. He
and his colleague (Edmunds) have al
ways been in a state Of concord, gen
ial to see, both ardent mon, but both
Indifferent to official spOils, so they can

bly,, since our government was found.
ed, has had two better Senators. Zeal,
Gus, without being louu, individual
but kind, they are both national men
and only Edmunds' great services in
the Senate forbid the general indigna
ton that he was not made President OF
the United States.

TOWN REPRESENTATION.

We publish the two following arti-
cled by request =
Hon. f.. p. Walton, in communities
ton to the Montpelier Journal, takes
the ground that the constitution of
Vermont perpetually guarantees rep
resentative to every town in the State.
lie says:
The right OF every town in Vermont
10 equal representation in the House.
of Representatives, is guaranteed by
o compromise in the constitution,
which is in terms perpetual. | quote
from an article in the constitution of
1777, which has been preserved until
this day in full force. to wit:
Section 7. In order that the frecmcn of this
State might ENJOY the benefit of election as
equally as may be, each town within this
state, that consists or may consist of eighty
taxable inhabitants, within one Scptenary or
seven years next after the abiShing Of
tins constitution may hold elections therein,
and choose each, two representatives, and
each other inhabited town in this State may,
in like manner, choose one representative to
represent Thorn in General Assembly, during
the sCptCnary Orseren years. Ana after that,
each inhabited town may, in like manner,
alive, f0reCT haeGttT."
| think the Legislature has not a
right, m0rG}ly, to agree to the proposed
amendment, since it is violative of the
| foregoing perpetual constitutional COM
pact, and also of the oath which every
member of the Senate and House has
taken. That oath is so pat to the
question that give the part of it relat-
ing thereto;
You do solcmnly swear (or af1irm) that as
a member Of this assembly you will not pro
| pose or assent to any bill, vote, or resolution,
| which shall appear to you injurious to the
| people, nor do or consent to amy act or thing
| whatever that shall have II tendency to lessen
o. dbridge tt@r rights or p;EdegeS as decIar6d dy
| he constitution CtbiS StGte.'
The equal right of the towns to rep.
rescntation is guaranteed by the con-
stitution. How can any body, under
that oath, deny that right? The large
towns have had all they bargained for
how can they h0nOrably break the bar
gain now?
With all Difference to Mr.. Walton's
opinion, it does not seem to us that the
case is quite as absolutely closed to al
action and argument, as he supposes
It would be curious thing, il all that
was necessary to make u statute or d
clause in constitution irrepealabl4
was to put the word forever into it
The constitution provides the mode TO,
its own amendment, and it does no
except any section or clause from liza

FOR COUNTY COURT.
TIE ABUSE OF TIE PARDONING
- POWER.

There are in the penal institutions Of
several States men, who, while holding
positions of trust, have become de-
faulters. They have been tried, con-
Victed and sentenced. They deserve
to be punished not 50 much for their
own baseness as for the good of society.
Many of these men have influential
friends, who, failing to prevent their
conviction, as soon as the prison doors
close upon them undertake to secure
their pardon. Too often they succeed,
and thus tho chief purpose of their
Gonviction-the lettering of others
from the same crimes--is defeated.
Not long since Il man who had used
his position to rob his employers was
pardoned on the ground that his dis
ease was so far advanced that he could
live but short time, and that it was
only an act of humanity to release him
in order that his last days might be
made more comfortable. The petition

The L1adOn Times, the other day,
speaking of the possibility of floating
United States bonds bearing three per
cent interest, paid a remarkable COM
pliment to this country upon the Won
,derful state of the national finances.
A comparison of ourdebt and expenses
with those of the other great nations of
the world, shows what q unique posi-
ton we hold as a debt paying and
money saving people. While the ma
tons of Europe have increased the ag-
gregate of their debts since the close of
our war, some $9,000,000,000 and their
aggregate expenses nearly $l,O00,OOO,-
600, we have paid off $4,000, 900, or
nearly one third of our debt and have
gradually reduced our expenses until
they are less than the expenses Of am
of the great powers of Europe, andp pro-
portionately less than those of the mi
nor States. Such q showing astOnishes
Great Britain and leads the Times to
exclaim that 1.-The finances of the Unit
ed States may excite the envy not on
~ of England, but of Europe"

No, Sir!

A Scotch minister once said no, WON
an could bear pain as we'll as q man.
This is not so. The fact is generally
the other way. Mrs. Edward Meyers
of Rondout, N. Y, submitted to the
operation of the removal of her hand
by amputation, without taking ether
or moving a muscle or uttering a
groan. DR.. Kennedy, also ofRondout,
n. Y, who performed the operation,
saiCl he never saw such herOism. The
ladys disease was erysipelas, and after
wards the Doctor gave his "Favorite
Remedy" to cleanse the Blood. Mrs.
Meyers is now we'll and strong. DR..
Kennedy's "Favorite Remedy" at One
Dollar a bottle is the thing for Female
weaknesses and all complaints arising
from bad blood. But that Scotchman
was mistaken.

Ere another issue of the HERALD
greets its many readers, 1880 will have
become thing of the past. This sug-
gests to our minds the propriety OF
doffing our hat to our patrons, thank

The Burljngtoa Free Press asserts that
the Legislature and people of Vermont
have the p0toer to change the constitu-
ton in respect 20 town representation.
Certainly this is so, but it does not
touch the question as to the morality
of the thing, nor as to the honor of the
large and pOpulous towns in violating
a constitutional compromise. l have
been thanked by two eminent men of
Vermont, both residents of large towns
for my protest on this question, both of
whom feel, as | do, that the towns of
Vermont are, each of them, little re-
publics, in which freedom is preserved,
and legislators and statesmen are
nursed. Let the old time and present
constitutional rights of every town
the humblest and the highest-be for.
ever preserved.
There is an obvious and weighty ar.
gument against small house of repre-
sentatives, Like the house of New
York on more than one occasion, a
small house can be bribed into pernic.
ious legislation whereas the Vermont
house is so large and its members SO
honest as to be practically beyond that
danger. e. p. WALTON.

bility 10 be changed or repealed in the
constitutional way. The next section
of the constitution TO the above quoted,
Section 8, originally provided that the
town representatives should be elected
ION the first Tuesday of September,
annually, .tOrerer;" but that did not pre-
vent the constitutional convention of
1870 from amending the constitution so
that representatives should be elected
biennially; and nobody has ques-
toned the constitutionality of the
amendment, or has taken the ground
that it was Il violation of a compact to
change il. = As TO
the oath, it is enough to say that the
change proposed would not lessen the
rights of SHE people," The people of
this State have a Fright" to have a
general assembly more fairly consti-
tuted, smaller and less expensive and
more efficient than can be secured I'M
der the present arrangement. The
change proposed was not suggested in
the interest of the large towns. They
made no bargain--there was not a
large town in the State, nor one of
1 1000 inhabitants, when section Z was
adopted the towns then were all
small--and on their own behalf they
ask for NJ change. We believe it
would be for the great advantage of
the People-of all concerned-to remode.
and reduce the size of our general as
sembly and we trust the House will
at least give the people chance to ex-
press their wishes on the subject Bur

H. Much of that sort of news which depends
less upon ITS recognized importance than upon
its interest to mankind. From morning to
morning THE SUN prints continued story of
the lives of real men and women, aNd of their
deeds, plans, loves, hates, and troubles. This
story Is moro varied and more interesting
than any romance that was ever devised.

VI. Absolute independence of partisan Or
ganization, but unwavcring loyalty to true
Democratic principles. THE SUN believes
that the Government which the Constitution
gives us is a good one to keep. Its notion of
duty is to resist to its utmost pow the efforts
