Ia treating this question we shall
take the statistics Of the town OF Man
chester as basis, and il any one wish
es TO apply the same argument to other
towns the above tables win furnish the
materials.
III those tables we have used only
that portion Of the grand list which rep
rescuts the taxable property Of the town,
in order to show the proportion Of the
proposed investment to the taX-paying
capital. If to that we add the amount
assessed on polls, we have a correct
representation OF the labor and capital
which constitute the taA-payins wealth
Of the town. But it must be remem-
bered that in thus reducing the grand
list We have increased the per cent 50
that whenever we calculate what a poll,
or ascertain amount Of property repre-
scented on the grand list, must pay ~ q
given event, it is a large estimate,
Now Let rs suppose thc toan q Man
chester, instead Of beng asked 70 IN
vest 100000 IN the new road, was asked
to contribute $4,000 towards It's con
strucuon Then the following would
be the sums required from the owners

scented on The grand list:

The Duty Of Democrats.

We copy from one of our exchanges
the following extract, which has Travelled
50 widely that it has lost its paternity or
it would receive the "credit' it deserves :
"The constant iteration Of tho cry,

that more general conviction now exists
among Democrats generally thatitis their

But We are also convinced that in this re-
speot we are still far behind our oppo'

is carrying bigotry too far, yet Democrats
often are iu exactly the opposite extreme
For some trife they will be induced to

Ashley !!

The Cincinnati Commercial talks
about the Hon, Jemes NJ. Ashley after
the following manner !:
"Mr. Ashley is becoming a terrible
person. He notifies the world, upon his
responsibility as representative" that
be will insist that the Fortieth Congress
must not adjourn until it passes recon.
structon bill. This person, ",he curled
darling" Of the House, swells with his
assumption of leadership, and gistens
and glows with his refreshing bigness.
It must be delicious to see Spheuck
Bingham, Shellabarger, and other really
able mcn Of the House, patrouized by
Ashley, subjected to his beaming courte
sy, oiled with his exhuberant kindness
and disposed of as appertainiug to his
greatness. And, after all the great Ash

to prevent being taken Turkish prisoners,
and to involve their enemies, who were

is one of those sublime and heroic acts OF
desperate valor that will shine resplendent
in history In all times to come. Not in

The trail of Rev. Joel Lindsey, for
whipping his little son to death for not
saying bis prayers, which commenced on
the Goth at Albion, N. Y. has ended in
q conviction, and very few will be found
to question the justice Of the verdict,

ever has been excited in Lindsley's favor.
He was attended in Court by his father,

be pitied not blamed for the accidental"
death Of the boy.
A thrill of horror went through the
courtroom as the physicians testified to
the condition of the childs body as seen by
them after it was laid in its coffin. One
witness swore that the boy must have re-
ceivod several hundred blows: that the
body was covered with black and blut
marks, the skin broken in many places
the nails of the hands and feet torn uI
at the sides, and even the soles Of th,
feet and the backs of the hands laid bar,

The TarifRill-The Beautiesof
Protection. ~

The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial gives the follow
ing account Of some charming features
in the new Protective Tariff Bill:
The ingenious feature of the bill is the
manner in which special interests have
been protected by it. This can best be
explained by actual illustration: In the
whole United States there is just one
nickel factory, employing capital of say
TWO hundred thousand dollars, aud Q
force of about fifty workmen. ltis loca
ted in New Jersey. The proprietors OF
this establishment go to their New Jcr'
sey Senators and say to them that they
must get "protection." The Pennsylva'
mia Senators say, ave can't vote to
protect such an interest as that; all We
want is an iron an coal tariff" "Very
we'll" says Jersey, "if you don't protect
my nickel factory, III vote against you
coal mines and iron factories,' And so
in order to get tho Jersey votes, tarif
Of forty per cent ia levied on nickel. Nov

large ingredient in the manufacture o
German s.lverware. Itwould take a hun

to supply the demand, but in order l.
protect that one factory the price OF ever,
thing into which nickel enters, is increas
ed iorty per cent 10 every consumer in tn
United States. And this forsooth,
protecting American industry! .
Take another illustration: There is on
pace in the United States where the ston
used for grindstones is found and dresse

quire fifty such quarries to sup2ly tn
demand of the country. But this came

order to enable single establishment

Nova Scotia. III you don't put that in
says the grindstone member, '1'll vo
against the bill" "All right" says Ne
England, "if you'll swallow the rest
the bill VIC can afford that"-and SO
goes.
