Present High Prices.

The exceedingly high prices which
now rule in the markets, notwithstand-
ing the present quotation of gold, are
exciting public alarm. The country
is insane with speculation. Every
thing conspires to strengthen the be-
lief that the present ruinously high
prices are owing to the cunning plots
of spectators, and the question forces
its attention upon all, what shall be
done to correct the widespread and
overshadowing evil. There is one way
by which extortionate speculation can
be overcome. 1t is 10y resorting to
frugality and the total exclusion from
domestic consumption of every article
not necessary TO the support of hui
man life.
A resort to such rigid economy as
this, and persistently enforced 10y ev-
cry man and woman, would result in
breaking up all monopoly in the nee
essaries of life This seems to be the
only remedy for tho gigantic evil
Such n corrective would not only
tend to diminish prices, but would
teach lesson of popular vii
and popular power which spectators
affected by its exercise would hardly
wish to forget

The Execution OF Wirz.

Our readers have already been in
formed of the execution Of Wirz, the
hardened wretch who starved and
maltreated our Union soldiers at An
Jacksonville.
His life paid tho forfeit for deeds
unparalleled in the calendar of afro
cious offences His memory will de-
scend to an Immortality Of shame
and when future generations are una
bic to recall the disgraced name of the
individual who long held the keys Of
the Georgia slaughter-pen, the words
describing his Office -"tho iailor of An
dersonyille' will stand as a synonyme
for whatever is base, heartless, malig-
nant and fendish.
Treason remains unpublished still.
1t has well been called the greatest
crimes" 1t is not mere difference
Of opinion rs many venture to say.
1t ought to be punished 50 that there
will be wholesome fear to plot
against the existence of the nation.
jeff. Davis, the embodiment Of the
recent attempt to nnnihilatc republi-
can institutions and the popular gov
ernment based upon them, ought to
be speedily brought to trial for his de
iberate efforts to strike both out of
being He may be convicted of these
enormitios, condemned to death, and
the dread decree Of justice executed.
If, however, it should be deemed adj
visable to prolong his miserable life a
few additional years, let him be exiled
his native land and compelled to wan
der in foreign countries, "a man for
bic" with the death-septence blister
ing on his brow, until his career shall
be ended on the earth.

Hon. William II. Seward.

We gave in recent number of the
TRANscRIrT few extracts from u
speech made at Auburn, n. Y, by Sec.
rotary Seward Like everything else
from the lips Of that distinguished
statesman tho remarks there made
overlooked with sound sense and "a
lofty appreciation Of the men and
measures of which he spoke. As a
contemporary very happily says:
Mr.. Seward is one of very small
class OF public men who fearlessly OK
press their opinions and discharge
their duties, leaving reputation to take
care OF itself No man was ever moro
sharply assailed by his foes than Mr.
Seward for the remark that the con
fiict between Slavery and Freedom
was "irreprossble" Although only a
prophecy, the Democrats abused its
author as if his utterance had been
the wish of fiery fanatic. Events
proved that Mr. Seward saw farther
than the mass of his countrymen, and
now people Of all parties look to him
as one who is to pass into history as u
statesman who contributed immensely
to conduct the Union out of its deep
est tribulation II the secrets of di-
plomacy could with propriety be re-
vcaled, it would be found that to the
intrepidity, patriotism, lirmness, and
ability of Mr.. Seward, the United
States were saved from collision with
European governments during the
most critical period in their history
and this, too, without making conces-
siOns to the arrogance of others.
There is great efficacy in public men
pursuing the course that seems to
have been early marked out by the
distinguished Secretary of State. It
saves them much anxiety, labor and
breath, and the printers, too. Mr..
Seward has often been assailed. and
with extreme bitterness. Some dis
tinguished Republicans clamored
somewhat loudly about him, but it
was never known that he was in the
least disturbed. The storm of many
years has now passed, and the far
reaching judgment of Mr.. Seward j..
appreciated by his countrymen. Pitt
was no more worthy the lines by Can
ming, entitled The Pilot that wealth
cred the Storm than our own dis
tinguished Secretary of State.

Bay The late session of the Vermont
Legislature lasted only thirty days,
while the average length of the ses-
sions since 1864, has been five full
weeks. 1t is seldom that the yeas and
nays are called less than thirty times
at Il session, and in the famous Demo-
cratic session in 1853, they were called
no less than ninety times; but the
sum total in the House this year, is
only nine.

These figures show a decrease in

the same of $l,2l7,667; an increase in
the personal property of 81 2l7667
and an increase on the list for State
taxes of S23,S02, II. The Journal re-
marks on these items:
"Ihe quinquennial appraisal of real
estate was made this year so that, in
comparing the real estate taxed in
1864 and 1865, we have really the diff
ference in valuations between 1860
and 1865; whereas, on the personal
property we have the difference be-
tween 1864 and 1865.
Remembering the large amount of
money in L. S. securities during the
year, and exempt from taxation, the
increase in a single year, of nearly a
million and a quarter of dollars, is
very satisfactory. Vermont can sure
1 ly pay her debt and interest without
suffering much. The showing of an
increase Of real estate in five years,
less than that of personal property in
one year, is not so satisfactory In
deed, many towns return less num-
Der of taxable acres than in 1860 We
do not know how TO account for that
fact without imputing to somebody a
great mistake, SO we will not try to ne
count for it; we only state the facts.
