Whoever fayors the Presidents poli-
es, wishes 10 strip the loyal North Of
twenty-five members Of Congress, To
which il is fairly entitled. and he wishes
to give twenty-five members to the dis
loyal South, which that section has no
equitable title TO-
The figures will stand thus, emitting
fractional representatives:

South Carolinian.

VERMONT LEGISLATURE. An unusually
large proportion in both branches are
new members; in the Sena' G seventeen Of
the thirty, and in the House one hundred
and forty of the two hundred and forty
five, were not members last year 1t
docs not follow, however, that all these
arc inexperienced in legislation. Anum-
Der of them are old legislators, one Of
them n member so long ago that he had
not learned that the members Of the
House keep their seats when the Senate
genes in, and he rose to receive them
as was the custom III the good old days
There are several ex-Senators in the
House, Mr. Clark of Poultney, Mr. Mi
ner Of Manchester, Mr.. Hubbard of
Stockbridge, Mr. Harris Of Windham,
and perhaps others Lawyers are not
quite rs numerous in the House as usu-
al, aud doctors are rather more so.
There are eight ministers in the House:
three Congregational, Rev Leonard
1enney Of Thetford, Rev, Edwin Vince
lock Of Cambridge, Rev. Thomas s. HUB
bard.of Stockbndge; two Baptist, Rev
l.. A. Dunn Of Fairfax, and Rev A.
Lamb Of Nottingham, and three Meth
odist, Rev NJ p Ladd Of Worcester,
Rev A Tripp Of Stratton, and Rev Mo-
Sos pattee Of Brunswick. The last is
claimed by the AFgns as a Democrat.
4 noticeable feature Of the House is the
unusual duplication Of names. There
are twenty-one couples Of mombers hav-
ing thc same name, besides which there
are three Martins, three Johnsons, five
Fosters and FIVE Smiths Strange to
say, John is not among the Smiths.

From the London Times, June 13.

family, was married at the village church at Kew to
his serene highness Franc 8 Lewis PAU Alexander

In the church not the slightest attempt was made at
splendor of decoration The seats, II is true, were
rearranged to admit OF the bridal party pass

derer Captured.
From the Cincinnati Gazette, June %.
A tragedy, rivalling those of peerfeld in this
State, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where
whole families we're butchered occurred at an
early hour on Tuesday morning, in the vicinity
of West Baden, Orange county, Indiana.
From what we have been informed Of the case
il appears that shortly after the breaking out of
the war. man named McCracken enlisted in
the Union ranks. A short time after his depart
ure for the seat of war bis house and barn were
burnt to the ground, the fire having originated
by the torch OF an incen6ary. On returning
home after having served his country faithfully,
Mr.. McCracken learned from a family named
Woodward, that a man named William Saunders
was the incendiary, his own daughter having
acknowledged the fact. Saunders was arrested
at the instance Of McCracken, but the case was
finally compromised and the suit withdrawn.
The county officials, however, took hold of the
matter, and the Grand jury having indicted
Saunders, his trial was set for this week.
Saunders, hearing that the Woodward family
would be the principal witnesses against hlm.
swore that they should never appear in the
courtroom alive. In ful6lment of these threats
he, on Tuesday morning last, short time before
daylight repaired to the residence of MIR.
Woodward and with bowie-knite coolly and
deliberately murdered Mr.. Woodward his wife,
eldest daughter, and an old lady, the mother oi
Woodward.
The bloody deed becoming known throughout
the neIghborhOod, the murderer was pursued
and finally arrested. The most intense excite
ment prevails throughout the whole OF Orange
county, and strong threats OF lynching the as
sassn have been MADE.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
made the following important decision with
reference to deduction OF real estate taxes from
income;-
"That such taxes are deductible from income
only where they are assessed votably; that ia,
where each person subject to the tax is assessed
In proportion to the value of his property.
Therefore, where the expense of improvements
is assessed at a certain sum per front foot, or
upon any other basis than the value of the
taxpayers properly, the assessment cannot be
allowed as a deduction from income"
