. questionjththfe'r under

; oftIiis State, a vote of an

meeting instructing the se-
lectmen to make no recommendations
for licenses in such town, can be directly or
indirectly annulled by the vote of a si’CCla)
town meeting subsequently called for the
purpose. The occasion which called forth
this discussion, is the fact that the town of
Greenwich at its last annual town meeting,

' instructed its selectznen pot to make any
such recommendations. _ A special meeting
waizcailed for the purpose of reconsidering
the subject and rescinding the vote: of the
annual‘meeting. ' ' .

Similar pro'hibitory votes were passed i
New Canaan at the annual meeting, and a
subsequent special meeting has voted sub-
stantially to rescind the vote of the annual
meeting, and to instruct the sclectmen to
recommend such persons for licenses as they
should find to be suitable and fit therefore.

The question discussed is therefore an im- .
portant one in its relations to the rights and
duties of the'selectmen and the public» in‘
terests. ’ ‘ '

The progisiou of the statute of last Spring
directly bearing upon the question, is as
follows: _ ..

“And any tov‘rn mayial its; annual town
meeting in each year,deterihincbyballot-
by a major vote of the‘ el'ecmrs presentand
voting at said . meeting'whether’; the select-
men of the town “shall make any recommend
ations for the granting of licenses under
this act, and the pollst‘or this vote shall be‘
open durin ‘ the same hours as for. member
votes of sa (1 meeting.” » 9 » ' ' 9 .

Mr. Smith, alter stating the provisions ot
the license acts of 1872 and 1874, showing
wherein the two acts concur, and wherein
the lashact is-au improvement on the for-
mer, presents the following very forcible are
guménts in support ‘of his opinion that the
votgsof the annual meeting can not be af-
fect‘ by any subsequent action at especial
meeting: : 3 .‘."V .- .

I. .Not'; a shadow, :or ' authority can? be

termination of the .electors at any annual

plication to a case like'the present. ' The
votaries of the alcoholic-traffic inyour town
must have resorted "to this old regulation for
calling the late town meeting, but if they do
not‘ find that they have been treading on
prlotty slippery ground, I shall be-much misr
ta en . - - ~’ ~

ll. Bnti‘I reiteratetthe remark that the
powcr‘conferred on the ' electorsiu'this con-
nection is no‘t’municipal in'it‘s" “character,
for a higher and much more important rea-
son. Even if your special ‘town‘ meeting
was lawfully called, it’ had no; jtn‘isclictli‘ln
to act on this subject. The powwow _ ‘ _
on your. electors andexcrciscd by them at
your annual meeting,.-was-legislative‘z?ih its
character. -‘It was a power-
general assembly for a' specral purpbse,‘to
be exercised on a particular da , and in the
precise manner indicated; ' It s apart of
the very poWer exercised by the-assembly
itselfoora long course of- years under and
by means of the‘act of-1854,t0twit': Prohib-
ision. « In th'e‘late'acts, that body insub-
stance said,'.-we will no longer exercise that
power generally,we will try license {but as
the will of the peoplejought fiver t5) govern,
we will empower the annual town jmeeting
to prohibit should the electors see fit rte-do
so. I maintain that the: momentiyou‘r ‘an-
nual town meeting pasSed the-vote towhich‘
you call my attention, prohibitionforthe’
ensuing year in Greenwich 2 was». ltd-enacted
by legislative authority,-snd a special town
meeting can no more set it aside than they.
could repeal the act of ’54 .it’ now in
full.force. " . ' “- » ’-

III. . And here we ask, would it have
been in the power of the annualmeetin‘g,
after the annunciation of the vote, to recon-
sider the subject and set asidethe decision
of. the electorial body? Who could make
such a motion t It __is the settled rule of all
deliberate assemblies that no one can do so
but a member who voted with the majority.
But in thismase the vote was taken by bal-
lot, yea or nay, and no one ' can tell who,
voted the former and who the latter. Shall
some one be permitted to rise in his place
and state that being a devmec of grog he in
the exuberancy of his zeal voted to prohibit
it, and on that basis make the suggested mo-
tion? Such an exhibition would strikin ly
illustrate the absurdity of this claim. at
suppose the Fraction made and entertained-
how should the vote have been taken? By
ballot? And it so, how long should the polls
have been kept open? Or will it be claimed
that it would have been in the power of
one or two scores of electors on the heel of
the meeting to take a snap judgment on the
whole bOdy and blow up their determina-
tion sky. high? Nothing can be more cer-
tain than that it . was not in the power of
the annual meeting to set aside its own vote
and if so What: are'we to think of logic di-
rected to prove that a special town meeting
can do what the annual muting could not?

IV. I submit that of the reasons which
led to the introduction of the ballot under
and by virtue ot ‘the ant ot the present year,-
one of the most important was the determi-
nation of the legislature to make the vote
or decision of the electors at the annual
meeting 'final. The'i'orcc‘of this considera-
tion is greatly enhanced by three particu-
lars.“ First the sense .‘ot‘ the electors voting
to be ascertained with certainty, and this
could be best done by the ballot. _ Second,
ample oportunity secured, 'to ever ' elector
to vote who chooses to do so,.a_nd-t ird,with
a provision for having the voteifsucjcessml,
take effect in future. .. Your .pcoplcfmere
called on to say, by'balior,'w11cthe‘r prohibi-
tion should be the law in Greenwich'forfihe
entire year, from and alter the~81st;:d_ay of
the thencurrent month, and having respond-
ed you by a majority, there was no power to
set aside that result than they would have
to shun] any other ballot at the same meet-
ing, c. g.. the choice of 'a‘ town clerk, or any,
or alloféthe' board of selectmen'. i’l‘heat-
tempt torevcrset or set aside the expression
of the-’will‘ ot'any body of men by ballot,
has never been attempted ,anywhere'un‘trl
this miserable aperiment was brought on
the tapis. But bere'I propound the same
question I have already asked in respect to
reconsideration“ the annual meeting. How
is the ‘vote at the special meeting to be
takeufiby ballot or civaoocc.’ If the former,
holeang are the polls to be kept open; 'snd
if thelatter are we to have anather Snap-

jndgment ? In your case the call for thespec-
ial meeting specified no doubt, the annull-
ment of the vote of . the annual meeting and
nothing ‘else. Hence those in attendance
could and no doubt‘did proceed atoncc to
the dispatch of business. They 'were ‘not
obliged to ‘holdthe subject under considera-
tion for several hours as it was, in conformi-
tv to law and reason, at the annual meeting.
On that occasion this matter could not be
concluded until all other business had been.
disposed of. But in this case nothing was
put into the call but the vote of prohibition
passed at the annual meeting, and nothing
else Quid be taken up, so that on ththy-
pothesis to which I'amopposed, any twen-
ty or thirty men (all patriots'of courseyfired
with alcoholic activity and spngh mess,
could with together and trample'down the
determination of the annual meeting, before
the rest of‘the toWn bad a fair chance to say
Jack Robinson! . ' .. 1'

V. And then what are the frisndsol-sou'nd
morals.t_o_do?_-_Are the ' to surrender/the
cause of temperance in espair, or shall they
cause a calltobe- issued for another special
town, meeting to be held tore-enact the de-
termination ,offllb annual meeting, and is
the vote ‘on. the question to be taken by bal-
lot or otherwise 21 willnot insult my rend-
ers by'-'pui'Vs'uing this. shuttle~cock process
any further.. To give any such construction
to thc' actofjthc present or an former year,
would be‘ toiconvert the legis stars of good
old Connecticut into an assembly of boobies.
Fortunately Inm' relieved from an such
conclusion; fortunately the last leg slaturc
greatly improved the act of ’72, and I hope
future legislatures will continue to improve
the system till we get it on a footing in
which all’good men can acquicse. 1 am thor-
oughly convinced that no legislature, and
particularly the last, ever intended that
your people should he harrassed in the man-
ner now attempted. If the construction

your? people. except by exten ing the elec:

a crop of seed depends upon .two essen_ V
"conditions: first, that the parent'oysters
spawn; second, that,«a't'tbe time of spawn-
ing, the floating spat. must have presented.
' to them something clean 'to which to attach
themselves; it maybe stone. shell,-glass,
iron, wood, leather, anything, in short,'p'ro .
vided it is perfectly clean. The first great
point in artificial. oyster propagation is
therefore to"_know justwhen; to;ha_ve the
stools on the ground. The time ofspawn-
ing varies with the season,'the position of
the bed, and the depth of the water over it,
so that‘itzrequires close watching, With fre-‘
quent dissections, to -vdetermipo~the9 precise,
moment‘when‘the'spavm begins t'o‘run'i It:
the stool is presented too late, the spaw'n‘is‘
lost and the stool‘worse than wasted; if too
soon, it is equally,th‘rown away, since it
becomes coveredwith .white slime in a few
days, and thenjth'e‘ spat-cannotr‘strike: Some-
times a heavy storm at spawning time
comes to the aid of the oyster farmer, and
.adds immensely'to the productiveness of
natural beds; it churns up the gravel and
shells on the bottom. scours them ‘clean,
beats the slime off the rocks,-audubrightens
things generall tor the reeeption;of-_‘_the
coming spat. ‘ ast‘ summer the "spawn was
abundant; the natural conditions for its
iodgment were unusually favorable; and if
the starfish and other enemies of the oyster
do not destroy. the crop it will be an pnusu-
ally productive one. lint we are getting
ahead of our history. .
Having come to the conclusion that clean
stools at spawning time were the one thing
needed to fix the native spawn, the Hoyt
Brothers gathered up some thousands of
bushels of weather-worn shells and scatter-
ed them over their grounds. Naturally they
were laughed at by “ practical".o"ystermen,
who had been in the business for years and
knew “all about it ;" while other men
threatened them with all sorts of penalties
for filling 11p the channels and otherwise in-
tert'ering with the: natural order of things.
Their venture, however, pro‘ved.eminent.ly
successful; the ci‘ear’i’ shells Were'quickly
covered with spat, and sixteen years ago
they reaped their first crop of artificially
propagated oysters.
- There is nothing that commands respect
like success. Seeing the result, those who
had seeded at the method were eager
enough to try it. A new im etus was
given to the oyster business. xhausted

have a new hired girl over at Keyser’s farm,
justpatside of Newcastle, and on Tuesday,
before startin to spend the day with a
friend, Mrs. eyser instructed the girl to
whitewash the kitchen in her absence.
Upon returning, Mrs; Keyser found the job
001%lede in a very satisfactory manner.
On V cdnesdays Mrs. Keyseralwayschu'rns,
and, last Wednesday, when she ”was rcady,
she went out, and finding that Mr. Keyser
had already put the milk in- the churn, she
began to turn the. handle. This was at
eight o’clock in the morning, and she turned
until ten without any signs of butter sp-
peaiing. Then she called in the hired man,
and he turned. until dinner time, when he
knocked 011’ with some very ofi'enslvelan-
guage addressed to that bntter which had
not yet. come. After dinner the hired girl
took hold of the crank and turned it ener-
getically until two o'clock, when she let go
with the remark which conveyed the im-
ressio'n ,thalL'she believed the churn to he
