Making the sum of
elS.69I.4I9

:
This sum will be diminished or increased
exactly as the revenue which may have been
received between the 4th March, and 3lst
| December shall be greater or less than estima-
| ted. Now, whatever portion of this may be
required to be met during the year 1871, can
only be met by borrowing money or by DEFER
ring payments by means of Treasury notes.
The appropriations which may be made at
the extra session are not included in the fore
going statement, but must be added to make
the true aggregate for the entire year.
As TO the choice of modes for supplying
this deficiency, (between Treasury notes and
temporary loan, it strikes us with wonder
that there should be any difference of opin-
ion. A Treasury notes as much an evidence
of public debt as a certificate of Government
stock for the same amount; and the idea of re-
sorting to Treasury notes to avoid a public
debt, is about as rational as that of taking poi
son to escape natural death.
What would be thought of the wisdom of
any man in private life who, having occasion
for money for term of eight years, and be-
ing able TO borrow it for that term at a low rate
of interest, should prefer borrowing it for one
year only, by issuing innumerable promissory
notes, knowing that at the end of the year
he would have TO means of meeting those en-
gagementsbut by issuing another batch of
prOmissory notes, TO be again renewed at the
END. of the next and successive years!
Analogous to such conduct would that of
Government with an ascertained deficit in the
Treasury, supplying it by a resort to such
mere expedents. In that light at least, the
matter has always appeared TO us.

Died.

In shoreham, after very short sickness, Mrs. o.
zina Jones, wife of Mr. Samuel Jones, and only child
of Amos Stone Esq. formerly Of Shoreham, in the sd
year of her age. Printers this state requested
TO insert the above.
In Jamestown, N. York, on Thursday July lst.
Mr.. DARWIN II. DEWEY, member Of the Senior
Class in Middebury College, Vt. aged 81 years.
On entering College some three years since, he had
fine physical constitution, and bid fair 10 60 through
the laboTs of acquiring education with unimpaired
health but the issue has disappointed the hopes OF
his friends. Having TO depend somewhat on his own
exerricns to deray his expenses, and aso in addition
10 his college duties, going out once week few
miles to super intend Bible Glasses, he undertook
than he able TO sustain and his system sank
under it. In this way by frequent exposures, being
often out in ipcement weather, his health grad
uay undermined till consumption, that disease hther
TO without a remedy, marked him for its Own. On
learning his critical situation, his parents Immediately
for him home, and one fortnight after his arrival
he finished his earthly course.
More than seven years ago he made profession Of
religion and united with the First Presbyterian Church
in this place, since which time he has lived con-
sistant Christian life.
Feeling the importance of the Gospel he sought an
education as the means of making himself useful in
the ministry, as he intended to consecrate his life 10
the preaching of Christ and him crucifed.
But God, who seeth not as man seeth, ordered 9TH
erwise and called him home before he had finished his
preparatory studies.
His last hours and his death more than usu-
ally calm and PEACEFUL marking the depth OF his Pr
ety. Possessing his the very last he bid his
friends farewell and with the quiet of Christian resg.
nation. Coils will i, myiwiIl,' he gently fell a.
sleep in Christ to awake at the resurrection of the
just.
Mild and arnisble, he was universally beloved and
much endeared TO large circle OF friends. With
vigorous intellect and industrious habits, he was
young man of much promise. But he has fallen on
the very threshold OF the ministry and fallen too we
fear. martyr 10 exertion.
His death belongs to that class of PIovidences
which are sealed up until the judgment OF the gre"
day. Com.

MINISTER TO ENGLAND. We hail with Pc
culiar satisfaction the intelligence of the NOM
ination of the Hon. Edward Everett of Mas

MCLEOD.

A number of Journals have stated confident
ly that an appeal would be taken from the
recent decision of the Supreme court, in the
case of Mcleod, TO the court of Errors. This
we believe is an error. 1t is not we understand,
intended by the counsel of Mcleod to move
for an appeal, but TO bring the case to trial as
soon as may be, probably in this county, in
accordance we learn with the expressed wish
of the prisoner. The argument of the Su-
prcmc court is deemed TO have settled conclu-
sively the legal points in the controversy; and
the hope Of obtaining reversal Of its decision
by an appeal 10 the court of Errors is not, we
believe, INDUCED by any body.
Mcleod is now in charge of the sheriff of
this county, in whose custody he will probably
remain until his trial, which we learn he is
anxious should take place as soon as possible.
being entirely confident, as he asserts, of his
ability 10 furnish the NEST conclusive proof
that he had no participation in the outrage
for which he stands indicted.
Since writing the above, we have learned
that the Supreme Court, on application Of Nc
Leod's counsel, have granted an order chang
ing the venue for his trial TO this county. 1t
will take place in September next.-Oneida

tain prominent individuals is Rutland county,
vino have heretofore been regarded as good
wings manifest some dissatisfaction because
the candidate Of their choice was not nomina-
ted for The Office of governor Of Vermont, al
the late WING State Convention. We have
also heard it stated on what we regard as
good authority, that Messrs. Pierpoint and
Foot, are among the number of malcontents,
and that they have expressed determination
TO press the claims Of Judge Williams, for
that Office, Notwithstanding they opposed his
election 10 the u. S. Senate two years ago,
on the ground that he was a loco foco ! and
Notwithstanding the almost entire unanimity
with which the nomination of Col. Paine was
confirmed by the Montpelier Convention,

checrtully acquiescing. Now if these things
are not SO, il is doing great injustice TO these
two gentlemen 10 add to the circulation of the
report, for they are among the very last men

pected Of such gross inconsistency. But if
the statement is true (snd we ask the Rut-

greatly mistaken the character of the Wings

Here, then, is an amount of purely extraor-
binary expenses more than equal TO the large
deficit. We have still two items more: one
is the extraordinary increase of court orders,
being S463l over the preceding year; and the
other is the item of S4682 IA paid for the
Captains hobbies-military drills, &c. &c
Admitting, however, that these items may con-
tiaue to press thus heavily on the Treasury,
we have not deducted them; and yet we
plainly show that the people are safe beyond
the necessity of increased taxation, and that
without resorting to the ample means which
o. the Wings mean, in spite of locofocolsm,
TO put in the possession of the state: we mean
that share Of the public lands which belongs TO
her.
The Watchman still further remarks:
aside from the salaries to the judges Of the
Supreme Court, the entire addition TO the a.
mount paid for salaries in Vermont will not
probably exceed what it was in 1901 by
greater sum than 1900 4 year, and this includ-
ing the salaries of the Offices created since
then, viz: the assistant clerks of the Senate
and House, the Secretary of civil and military
affairs, and the reporter of decisions of the SUI
preme Court. If these salaries are too high,
or that Of the Judcary-or if there are too
many offices-or if the cost of criminal suits,
which is the heaviest item Of state expenses,
may and ought to be reduced-let the people
say so, and instruct their representatives ac-
cording!y, what ever may be their politics.
No body will object to this we presume.
