AZ Some time since, in allusion to the clause
of the Central railroad charter which eXempts the
stock from taxation we said that one million of dol
lars might be taken from the list while too millions
of dollars would be added to it, We learn that the
Woodstock Age has CARRIED our language by en-
tirely emitting the two millions which @ould be
added to the list, and representing us as admitting
that the charter would absorb nearly the whole
list! This is no better than to forge falsehood
out of the raw material. In speaking of the list
in connection with millions, any body but an ass
would understand us TO mean the actual aggregate
list, and not the one hundredth part of the list on
which taxes are assessed That the Age may not
remain longer in its distressing ignorance, we will
inform it that the grand list of Vermont amounts
to nearly 81 millions of dollars and what we said
about the Central charter was, that it would add
two millions while it could not subtract more than
one-leaying a net gain to the list of a million of
dollars without counting any thing for the increase
of wealth which the road will produce by afording
increased facilities for business. We will 90 far
ther and explain the ground for our assertion it is,
that of the three millions Of stock two millions will
be expended in the State, and thus go into the list

MURDER-ALL FOR HONOR.

A few days since a son of Amos Kendall was
shot dead in Washington by young man named
EIliot-both from families of the highest respec-
liability" The story is thus briefly told in the Bal
tmore Patriot
"The quarrel began in this way: they invited
Elliott to 90 with them and roll ten pins. He de-
clned, because, he sad he had been there once
and the alley was taken away from him before he
had finished rolling. Kendall then told him jocose-
" that if he had not been a coward he would not
have let any body take the alley from him. Elliott
thereupon called Kendall liar! Upon this they
were about to fight, when Bailey interposed and
prevented their doingso. Some angry words pass
ed after this which caused Bailey to strike Elliott
The parties then separated, and met again in abou
an hour afterwards, when the fatal aflray occurred

CENTRAL CHARTER.

The Woodstock Age keeps up its war upon this
charter just as though it were determined to make
party question of it, whether or no, We depre-
cate any and every attempt to make controversy
between any railroad and any political party Rail
roads have become absolutely necessary for the
prosperity Of the State let Vermont be left entire
ly without them, and she is almost as effectually
cut off from markets. for her produce, as she
would be if removed to the deserts of Africa; for
she could not reach those markets and compete
with those having superior facilities. 1t is Of the
utmost Importance for the people to encourage
roads, and he who does not encourage them, we
cannot regard otherwise than as an enemy to the
State. But what grounds has the Age for party
assault upon the Central charter2 That charter
was introduced by a member of its own party and
the taxation clause which the Age attacks, was not
complained Of by solitary nan in the House,
Whir or Loco. There was indeed an amendment,
TO subject the charter to the control of future leg
islatures, which was adopted once, (Whig though
that Legislature was but on calm re-consldera-
ton Of that point, it was deemed fatal to the road,
and was abandoned. Even after this, the senti-
mcnt Of the House was so unanimous in favor Of
upon its passage. We cannot conceive the slight
est ground on which to raise party question Be
the charter too LIBERAL if you please or be itwrong
the error is to be mutually shared by all parties.
word as 10 the exemption from taxation. We
hold to the doctrine OF equality in taXotion whcth-
er of individuals or corporations, as strongly as
does the Age. That is the true rule; but the lo-
gislature saw fit to make this an exception to the
general rule, believing it to be for the public inter-
est to do so, precisely the same ground that 9TH
err exemptions are constantly made. This eXemp-
ton has been held out as on inducement for CAPT
alists, out of the State, to send their money here,
here to expend it, and in fact go into our list for
taxation-and here to build road which all regard
as highly advantageous to the State. Granting
that the State erred when it offered this induce
ment,-will it do to break faith with those who
have accepted of the States invitation? Would an
honest, honorable, high minded man so do by an
other? This would look little too much like
swindhng--like obtaining money false preten-
ces 1t may do for the Age, perhaps, but we doubt
not would be scorned by every honest man of eve
ny party. Time will show whether the exemption
was unwise andwhether or not, we have no feai
of collision between the Central road and the State
so long as both disposed to consult their own
interests and do right.

@REDUCING THE TARIFF TO A REVE-

Will some of the initiated be good enough to
give us the meaning Of the above phrase, so often
used 1t conveys an idea abouta definite as Gen.
Jackson's Judicous Tariff" The Reverend Mr.
Brownson defined democracy to be the suprcma-
cy of man over his accidents" A revenue Tariff
must be an impost which shall possess suprema-

an ordinary administration cannot well prevent
Perhaps some of our domestic Tariff cypherers can
tell us how much, on the revenue standard, will be
