BASE INGRATITUpE.-W We expected
compliment from the Rutland Courier,
for having given up considerable space
few days ago, to extracts from edito-
rials Of that paper, made without word
of comment on our part, and thus having
helped to circulate its political teach
ings, to that extent, to the exclusion of
our own. And we got--halfa column Of
abuse. Now we call that base ingrati-
tude But after all, it is the only way
in which the Courier can really compli-
ment any one-ahpse in that sheet be-
ing equivalent to compliment, and rice
Fersa--and so we ought to be satisfied,
There is a single suggestion, however,
we will make on the subject, and that
is, that If the Courier is really so pain
fully ashamed Of its own editorials as
its article Of yesterday indicates, it
ought not to try to abuse rs for it, but
confess its sin, repent and strive to do
better.

Corning, n. Y. He was for several
years Auditor Of the canal department

sociated with Henry ]. Raymond and

Of the New York Daily Times, and
became an associate editor. The arti-
cles contributed by him were not nu-
merous, but were prepared with great
care, and evidenced ability and power
as writer. He was afterwards COM
mercial agent at Valparaiso, Chilli. At
the commencement of Mr.. Lincoln's adj
ministration he received an appoint
ment from Mr. Seward to a position in
the State Department, and prepared sew

of his decease. His funeral will proba-
bly, take place at Poultney to-day or to-
morrow.

THE ATTEMPTED BURGLARIRs IN BUR
L1NGroN,-The Burlington Times gives
the following account of the burglaries
attempted in that place on Friday morn
ing last:
The first house attempted was that Of
Hon. Levi Underwood, about 80 A. NJ.
Here burglar, by the aid of an axe,
pried open window and effected an en-
trance. After wandering through the
house, he sought to visit Mr.. Under
woods bed chamber, who, being partial
ly awake, made a dive for him and pur-
sued him down the main stairs to the
front door, through which, being open,
he made speedy exit, meanwhile firing
a pistol at Mr.. Underwood, as a warn
ing not to follow him. The gentleman,
however, not at all daunted by the
deadly intent of the villain, seized his
own revolver and pursued him down
Pearl street, firing several shots in or
der to alarm the neighbors. Upon ex-
amining his premises Mr.. Underwood
found that the burglar and his accom-
plices had made extensive arrangements,
the front door key having been tried
with nippers. The vicinity of the safe
was strewed with matches, aud black

National Debts and u. :. stocks

The creation of national debts is not
a modern improvement, but the ability
of a great nation to provide for great
debt, and to make it the most conve-
nient and best form of personal proper
ty, is a modern wonder. The debt of
Great Britain was begun by raising a
million sterling by loan in 1892, and
when her great contest with Louis NV.
was terminated, the debt had reached
fifty millions. Many statesmen and
economists were then alarmed at the
great burden which was imposed upon
the industry Of the country, but when
the war of the Austrian succession had
sweled this amount to eighty millions,
Macaulay says that historians and ora
tors pronounced the case to be desper-
ate. But when war again broke out,
and the national debt was rapidly car
ried up to one hundred and forty mil
lions men of theory and business both
pronounced that the fatal day had GER
tainly arrived. David Hume said that,
although by taxing its energies to the
utmost the country might possibly live
through it, the experiment must never
be repeated,-e small increase
might be fatal. Granville said the ma
ton must sink under it unless some
portion of the load was borne by the
American Colonies, and the attempt to
impose this load produced the war of
the revolution, and. instead Of dimin-
ishing added another hundred millions
to the burden.
Again says MaCaul9y, was England
| given over but again was she more
prosperous than ever before. But when
at tho slOse Of her Napoleonic wars in
| 1916, this debt has been swelled up to
| the enormous sum of eight hundred
| millions sterling or four thousand three
! qundred million dollars, or nearly one
half the entire property Of the United
Kingdom, the stoutest heart, the tlrmest
| believer in national progress and nation
| al deveiOpement, might well have been
! appalled,. But in the very face of this
mountain of ObllgatiOn,-to say moth
| ing of her colonial possessions, the
property Of the British nation has been
more than trebled, and her debt is now
a charge of but II II per cent. against
it. All that Great Britain has done in
paying her debt, we shall DO, and more
with ours. We have vast territories un-
touched by the plow, min9s Of all pre-
Cious metels of which we have hardly
opened the doors, a population full o.
life. energy, enterprise and indnstgsr, and
the accumulated wealth of money ans
labor Of the old countries puring into
the lap of our giant and ever to be unit
ed republic. During the flerciest anC
most eXhausting of all possible wars
we have demonstrated our nationa
strength-and all the world over, ma
tiOnal strength is but another name fol
national credit. GAS good as United
Stocks will soon be Synonymous thu
world over with "as good as British
Consuls" For our part we think .
S. Treasury note, bearing seven ant
three-tenths annual interest, is just a
mach better than British COnsols as tn,
rate Of interest is higher Some of ou
timid brethren, who shipped their golC
to London and invested in consols, ar
now glad to sell out and invest at HON
at a round loss Sand serves them right

GEN. HALLEcK's ORpBR.-An order
from Gen. Halleck, issued at Richmond,
allows all persons, without regard to
rank or employment, in the civil or mil
itary service of the late rebel govern
ment, to take the amnesty oath, and
will receive the corresponding certif-
cate Those excluded from the benefit
Of such oath can make application for
pardon and restoration to civil rights,
which applications will be received and
forwarded through proper channels for
the action Of the President OF the United
States. The fact that such persons have
voluntarily come forward and taken the
oath of allegiance will be evidence of
their intention TO resume the status of
loyal citizens, and constitute claim
for executive clemency.
