1The Journal of last week has q
communication from "a Member"
presumably Of the legislature, wherein
"a Member" takes the Register to task
because, after we had remarked upon
the small performance of the legisla-
ture as compared wish the length of
the session, we in a subsequent issue
gave that body credit for some of its
acts. "a Member" seems to detect a
glazing Inconsistency in this. Nearly
the entire press of the state has been in
substantial agreement with the Regis
ter regarding the shortcomings of the
legislature, and most OF the papers
have expressed themselves much more
strongly against it. We infer that ga
Members" idea is that consistency re-
quired us to condemn it and its works
in every particular, and withhold any
praise that might be due il.
We quote the following from "a
Members" communication:
Again In the issue of December Slst,
after giving the Nuisance Act, the edi-
tor says: "Before the close of the ses-
sion an addition was made to this law,
making the landlord of the houses, sa-
looms, &C., liable TO pay the family of
the intoxicated person one dollar aud a
half for every day he is in prison for
such offence"
In the issue of January Z, we read
that the Register was sled into error
last week in stating that an addition
had been made to the liquor law, rem
dering landlords of drinkidg houses
and saloons liable to pay one dollar
and half, &c. The bill TO this effect
passed the Senate but was killed in the
House. 1t was an effective measure
and ought to have become law" Cd
Upon this "a Member" comments as
follows:
II the luminous editor of the Regis.
ter will refer to No. Is of the "session
laws" sent out by that sheet last week
january ~, he will find the act last
referred 10 amended to one dollar per
day, aud approved by the Governor
December gath, and was law from
that date. r.

~ Mr.. Belford of Colorado has been
trying to secure re cognition from the
speaker, in order to test the House on
bill to provide for the erection of a
public building at Denver. Mr.. Speak
er Ran dali, assuming his role of Judge,
has refused to recognize MIR. Bedford.
But. the latter-adopted new tactics, and
for week past, whenever a member
has sought and obtained recognition in
order to secure the passage of bill by
unanimous consent, Mr.. Belford has
promptly demanded the regular order
of business, and be announces his in
tontion to carry out this program until
the last day of the session unless the
speaker will allow the House to vote
upon the Denver bill.

~ The elections committee of the
Democratic House have at last af-
ter nearly two years, unanimously de-
cided that Bisbee, Republican, of Flori-
da, is entitled to the seat which they
have allowed Hull to occupy for two
years. Nevertheless, as they need every
vote they can raise, the House will pro-
badly neglect to give Bisbee his seat I'M
til the last day of the session, and avail
themselves of the vote of Hull, who
has no more right to his seat than he
has to o seat in the Vermont Senate.

Mr.. EDIToR;--
The weekly visits of your paper are
received with pleasure, and the eve
ming spent In its pernsal seems almost
as though spent among friends in the
old home in Addison County. IL Is
true we would be pleased to have the
correspondents from Lincoln and
Starksboro do their duty little more
fully, but accept the situation as it is,
thankful for past fav0ls.
We have been having a regular New
Eng land winter ION the Divide, plenty
of snow and cold weather, which fol-
lowing The dry summer makes rather a
hard year. Stock that are not fed are
poor aud some Of them have already
died The country here is getting set
lied up so thickly that The loose way of
farming and stock raising Is no longer
safe or profitable, and the people are
fast falling into the WAYS OF The eastern
farmers. They are Keeping q better
class of stock and not as much of it.
All who have adopted that plan are
prosl e'ous. How can IL be Otherwise
when butter sells readily at thirty
cents per pound in the summer and
thirty-five cents in winter, aud beef at
from four to eight cents a pound by
the quarter. Poultry keeping is also a
source of profit. Eggs at present sell
at thirty-fivel fcents n dozen and are
scarce at that and seem 10 he goiug
higher. The great trouble for year
or two past has been too many
coming here, which makes moving,
uneasy mass of humanity not adapted
to the country, and not expecting to
stay in 1t, entirely separate from the
regular settlers that fit the country and
intend TO make themselves homes here.
Perhaps your readers may remember
an article taken from the New Yorl,
Sun and printed in the Register last
fall in which the character of the wes-
tern people was discussed in rather an
uncomplimentary way. | wish TO say
that ii was a SANDER Oh the western
people arising probably from the fact
that the correspondent who furnished
the items for the Sun did not know
whereof he was writing. Perhaps vor
will hear from Inc again on this sub
ject. For the present adiou.

WEST PoINT. The reports of the
Board Of Congressional visitors TO
West Point have been given TO the
public. The chief point OF interest. is
the colored cadet question, majority
of the Board taking the Democratic
ground that colored young men should
not be educated at The Military Acade-
my. Senator Edmunds, in his minor
ity report, asserts that they should be
so educated, and that they can be # the
institution is properly administered.
He says that thus far colored cadets
have been isolated and ostracised, kept
in solitary confinement in the midst OF
their associates aud SO treated as to
naturally develop all the evil in their
natures. Senator Edmunds suggests
that the action Of the authorities in re-
gard TO the Wbiltaker outrage was en-
tirely unjust. Al other cadets were
let of Oh their words of honor, bat the
word of the coored boy injured was
not taken Establishing one standard
of honor for white boys and another
standard of honor for the colored boys
Mr.. Edmunds proceeds to show that,
Whitaker was put in a false position
by the constitution of n court of in
garry; that, instead of having author
iiy 10 investigate the event and so to
bring all the cadets before it on all
edual footing and to submit them to
equal scrutiny, was so constituted as to
put the colored boy, who had suffered
the injury himself, on a quasi trial
while all the rest went free.

n Probably no man ever occupied a
seat in the U. .. Senate whose right to
1t has been without reason SO question
ed, and who has suffered 30 much petty
persecution because of his political prin-
ciples as Senator Kellogg. The Demo-
Gratis seem to have conferred upon him
their spite for the defeat of 1876, and
determined to unseat him if possible.
Last session the attempt was persisted
in for o short time, and then for polti-
cal considerations was dropped. But
at this session those foremost in the
pursuit determined 10 bring the matter
before the Senate and if possible to
bulldoze the majority into unseating
Kellogg. To this end, last Friday, Sena-
tor Salisbury, with the air of judge
about to pronounce death sentence,
arose in his place and announced that
on Monday he would move to lay aside
the regular order and take up the KEEL
logg case. Senator Conkling immediate
ly announced that he would insist OH
the regular order. So Tuesday when
Senator Salisbury moved TO suspend
the regular order it was understood to
be test vote. Twenty senators voted
for it, and twenty-four against it. So
1t may be said the persecution in the
Senate at least is at an end.

MA mother" evidently laboring
under the impression that 1itors know
everything, writes to ask if we think it
pays to have daughters take lessons on
the piano and organ. Although Ibis
mother neglects 10 give her name with
her communication we cannot refuse TO
answer a question evidently asked in
good faith. 1t depends. If The daush-
ter has taste and car for music, with
fingers capable of the training necessary
to the skillful player, there is no reason
why she shonld not learn. But if she
cares little for mnsc, and regards the
necessary lessons and practice as an
inksomc task, she should not be forced
to attempt to learn. 1t is senseless
idea which makes the ability 10 thump
soulless tunes out of piano necessary
part of young lsdy's education. If
she has no music in her, no amount o f
lessons will bring it out. 1t is waste
Of time, muscle and money for her to
try to learn, and if long effort has given
her mechanical ability to make her fing-
srs ny nimbly over the keys, the'music
she produces is torture to the cultivated
car and WEAKNESS to any ear. Don't
force your daughters to learn music. II
they can become musicians they,willInot
