Editors Rutland Herald In comment
ing upon the late brutal assault upon our
respected low.townsman, Mr.. Clark,
the HERALD very pertinently asks how
long these atrOCious acts are to be al
lowed in our village ?"--and TO which
the Independent answers, "just so long
as liquor is allowed to be sold to our peo-
pie" Now it appears to me that more
sensible reply to the HRRALDs interrog-
atory would be just so long as our adj
ministrstors and dispensers Of the law
and justice amongst US continue to favor
the actual transgressors in these cases
and seek only to pursue and punish
those who possibly may be regarded by
some as accessories.
If the government, on the occasion of
the assassination of President Lincoln,
had pursued Booth and his associates in
crime only so far ar to find out rhve
they got their porder, the world would
have stood amazed and yet this is pre-
cisely what our courts in Rutland are
doing in all these cases of aggravated as
SAUL, and which are, OF course, becom.
ing more frequent and more brutal.

CONVERSION OF SBvBN-THIRTIEs.- On

of conversion OF seven.Thirties by ad-
justment of interest to date OF CONVEX

Seven -TkiTties to January 1st. By this
plan, the holders Of Seven Fhirties, will
lose the advantage OF paying the aecu-
mulated interest on the veTwenties,
from July lst, in currency, and receiv-
ing it in gold, on the 1st of January.
There will be a gain, therefore, of about

The NATIONAL DEBT. - The rumors
that Secretary McCulloch will ask Con.

1t is the old Jay Cooke scheme, which
was submitted to the Ssnate last winter
by Mr.. Sherman. The main trouble is
upon the point Of excepting the bonds
from taxation. The Democrats will make
a Marty question of it, and some influen-
tial Republicans say that it is not right
to except any new bonds from local
taxation. If the difficulty can be OBJ.

long bond for the six per cents can
easily be made; Jay Cooke says that two
years will be ample for the entire con.
solidation. The plan is to declare in
explicit terms that the new bonds are
payable, principal and interest, in coin.
The fact that large class OF politicians
hold that the six per cent. bonds are not
payable st maturity in coin, viii facili-
tate the exchange, and will settle in s

Mill, occupied and owned by VIM. Halliday
u c.. There W,Ia 4 strong odor of smoke
long before the fire was discovered, so much
so,that persons passing along Baldwin street
were attracted by it and endeavored to find
its cause. Those first on the spot found the
whole interior of the lower story in a slow,
mouldering flame, which seemed to proceed
from the engine room. The fire was confin-
ed to the building itself, with the exception
of the sheds and store house, occupied by
Y. B. Read, the former being used by Hon.
John l. Nicks for storing tobacco.
The Rathbun House property, and A. NJ.
Dewitt's Grocery store and building adioin-
ing, were greatly endangered, but were say
ed from scarcely scratch, by the gallant
and persistent efforts of the fremen.
Halliday & Co estimate their loss at about
$50, 600 on the building and machinery, and
$50, 600 on stock, or thereabouts. They were
insured So 900 on building, and $4,000 on
stock, as near as could be ascertained this

off the fastenings Of the door. They took
from the several drawers and show cases,
from one to two hundred dollars in money
mostly in ostal currency and some
small PARTICLES such as knives, neckties &c.
Two suspicious looking characters had been
seen around the town the day before. They
were traced to Wilkes Barre by S. H. Jen-
kins, our County detective and chief of po-
lice, where they were arrested day or two
since. small amount of the money was
found upon Them, also some of the articles
stolen, which We're readily identified by Mr..
Loomis one of the firm.
Skeleton keys, safety fuse-articles burg
lars sometimes use-were also found on
them. They gave their names as James
Brown and Henry Allison-probably fictic-
ious ones. As they were very noncommu-
NEGATIVE, but little could be learned of their
antecedents or former residences. They
were bro't to this place on Monday last and
are how lodged in Jail to await their trial at
