THE WOOL QUESTION.

Our readers will remember that n
communication was published in our col
umns few days ago, wherein certain
charges were made on behalf of the man
ulacturers against the growers of wool in
this and one or two ncighborihg States.
We have received in reply the following
communication of "Vermont wool
grower" which presents the other side OF
the question, and to which we surrender
the necessary space this morning. i he
matter is one of intense interest to all
wool-growers and manufacturers, and its
discussion by those familiar with the sub
ject cannot fail to be of benefit to both:

MIDDLEBURY, W.
May, 18th, 1865.
Mr.. Edtor knowing the deep in
terest you have always taken in any en-
terprise, with tendency to improve the
society of Middlcbury, either morally or
intellectually, | thought you would be
willing to devote a few lines in the Re9-
tstcl TO the subject OF common schools
That Middlebury is and has been for
many years very deficient in this partic-
ular is obvious TO the most casual
observer, and it is not because the peo-
pie are unable or unwilling to pay the cx-
pense pecessary for the support of good
schools. Add the sum that is paid every
year for private schools to the Schoo!
Tax and you will have an amount sulli-
clent to support good "Union School,"
in which every child in town can get an
education, as good as can now be obtain.
ed by the most favored, and probably not
more than one fourth Of the children have
any advantage of private schools.
know that some wealthy individuals,
who have no children TO educate, may
object to paying their proportion of the
money now paid by those who support
private schools, but in pecuniary point
| contend that there is no investment
that will pay II property holder so well
as that paid for the support Of good re-
ligious and literary institutions.
AT the present time Real Estate is not
valued in Middebury so high, by one
third, as it is in st. Adams or Brattle-
boro', or many other towns in Vermont,
thas have no advantages over Middlebury
except in the enterprise of the people, and
fully believe that the establishment of a
good Union School would have a direct
tendency to bring into Middlebury many
families Of morthy mechanics, who would
wish TO avail themselves of its advantages,
and this is peculiarly a good time to
move in the matter, when so many of our
brave men are about returning rom the
service of their country, laden not only
with the richest honorS, but with much
that will enable them to spend the rest of
their days comfortably with their fam
lilies. And can we not offer them some
additional inducements to come and set
tie with us in Middeburyl Hoping that
calling the attention of the people to the
subject will have tendency to draw out
some more able minds, | close this article.

The trial of the conspirato~s by a

The trial of the conspirators by a
recent military tribunal is pronounced by
the press, generally, as an atrocious as
sumption of arbitrary power, and without
any manner of justification. The Even
ing Post says:
'president johnson has Just as much
right to proclaim himself emperor to-mor
row as Secretary Stanton has TO enact
these strange forms Of procedure. How
dangerous it is as precedent, we need
not say, for that view of it is So obvious
as to suggest itself to every mind. If we
may try Harold, Payne and their eonfed-
crates, by military courts, how long will
it be before we shall undertake to try 9TH
er less atrocious offenders in the same ir-
regular wayl How long will it be he
fore the established judicial system is set

methods ? Let the people think Of this,
and let them, through the journals, pro-
test against the abuse.
sour government, on the strength of
evidence drawn from the confessions OF
these offenders, and from the witnesses
to be used in this trial, has proclaimed
to the world the completely Of Jefferson
Davis, Thompson, Clay, Tucker, Sanders
and Cleary, in the awful murder of Mr.
Lincoln. 1t is charge that must be full
y sustained not to recoil unpleasantly or
injuriously upon the head of its authors.
The proof of it must be ample, direct,
unequivocal, of kind to convince the
general mind, to justify the issuing of
such proclamation. fit be deficient,
doubtful, indirect, OF liable to the suspi-
cion of having been procured and manip-
ulated for effect, we shall have put weap-
ons into the hands of the friends OF these
distinguished rebels, to be welded in aid
of their cause and in sympathy for their

don't think it would be great piece OF
,dscahy to do it.
How absurd and unreasonable TO charge
the farmer with dishonesty for simply SELL
Ing his wool in its natural state, especial.
ly when a very liberal allowance is made
for shrinkage, MS is always the case, and
both parties fully understand the nature
OF the transaction, and the buyer having
more experience, and consequently being
a better judge of the probable amount of
shrinkage than the seller. 1t is the most
natural and consistent way of doing the
business. and more exact justice can be
rendered to the producers than in any
other way, it being much easier to get at
the true value of his wool in its natural
state than when washed, as il necessarily
must he under the circumstances. each
man doing it in his own way. lie can
well afford to allow literally for shrinkarc
and extra transportation. if he can there
Ivy save the expense and injury to his focl,
which he must sustain by washing. to say
nothing Of the unpleasant nature of the
job and the loss Of flesh, anil often of
wool, attending the discomfort of carry
ing thick heavy fleeces far into the heats
OF summer, in order that the streams NAV
become sufficiently warm, tc render the
operation safe for himself or hocks. It's
perfectly legitimate transaction. "Nlan-
utacturer' doubtless never thinks of charg.
ing those engaged in other callings, who
do business upon precisely the same prin-
ciples, and they are many, with unfair
ness and fraud, and why the wool-orowers!
With regard to the placing of foreign
substances within the Geeccs to add TO
their weight, 7 have but few words to
say. Such instances are very rare, and
would be much more so if the wool deal
crs had not virtually paid premium up
on filth. But | have an infallible specific
for the cure Of these evils. 1t is this -
Let the manufacturer instruct his agents
TO give up entirely, and at once, their
reckless and dishonest manner of buying,
demand that they shall examine closely
the article purchased, and then make a
decent and honest discrimination between
dirt and wool, and when they detect the
fraud, buy the lots in which they discover
it, and then notify the culpr;ts to walk up
and settle or suffer the consequences
Make them pay heavily for their vilainy.
They will invariably do it without resort
to law, and with little trouble to the buy
or. This will effect a cure in most cases.
But If there are still those who persist in
those practices, place them in company
with the manufacturers of shoddy, and
other kindred swindlers in the state in
stitutlon called Penitentiary, and let
tn m work for the public, and my word
for it, it will cure the most inveterate
cases. This course will restore confidence
AMI good will between the producers and
manufacturers. elimination and re-
elimination will cease, ond d" Manufacture
er will have no further occasion to read
lectures TO the wool-growers of Vermont,
or for receiving them in return,

1t is stated that, on the night of the
assassination, there were in Ford's theatre
over 100 who had direct or Indirect
knowledge of what was to happen
Many of those persons had victim Sc
lected, but their part of the murder failed,
from the fact that the persons selected to
turn off the gas at the crack of Booths
pistol, from some cause or other failed to
perform 'his part. If the gas had been
turned off Booth would have escaped re-
cognition. Had Grant beNl there he
would have fallen an easy victim. Booth
did not expect the failure of the person to
turn off the gas and, after the deed was
done, had to make the most of it.-PtHs-
