THANKs.-In cleaning news from all
available sources, especially State news,
we are compelled to draw upon our ex-
changes without being able to give the
usual credit. This seems necessity of a
daily paper, and we trust our cotempora-
ries will not regard us as trespassers. No
paper furnishes us more or better material
of this sort than the Barton Standard,
which exhibits great enterprise in respect
to local or county news. We take a little
pride in this, for friend Earle, many years
ago took lessons in our ofice.-Montpeliey
Daily Journal. 49,. lst es
1t would be useless for us to at
tempt to disguise the fact that we fee
fattered by such testimony as this
and the more so from the fact that il
comes from a paper of such high stand
ing as the Journal, than which the
State has none better. We are proud
Of the position we are takingin the
matter of local news and hope fol
cause to be still prouder.

NEGRO HANGING IN MISSISSIPPI

NEGRO HANGING IN MISSISSIPPI
The Memphis Post OF Friday has the
following account of the latest outra-
ges in Mississippi: ave learn this
morning that four colored men have
been hung in De Soto county within
two weeks. Only last Monday night
a little below Horn Lake, two colored
men and one colored woman was hung.
The crime of the two former was that
they dared to be republicans; the
crime of the poor woman, that she
recognized the assassins and might
tell the story of their fiendish deed.
They had been together in the field
picking cotton, on Monday, and on
the following morning their bodies
were found dangling from limbs in a
neighboring forest"

STABBING AFFRAY IN SEARsBURG.

STABBING AFFRAY IN SEARsBURG.-
Our usually quiet town was disturbed
on Friday evening, by the sad inteIi-
gence that George Wheeler had stab
bed one Charles Miller, formerly of
Huntington, Mass. BY the reports
that come to me, it seems that Miller
went down to Wheeler, in R. w.
Irish's bed stead factory,and had some
words with him; Miller happened to
snap buck shot, which struck Vince
Ter over the eye, when Wheeler order
ed him to leave; Miller said he was
willing to 90, but was not going to be
pitched out, and started to 90, when
Wheeler gave him kick. Thereup-
on Miller turned and struck at him.
and Wheeler struck at the same time
with his knife, hitting Miller over the
left ear, cutting a cash about one inch
long, aad also a cut in the abdomen.
Miller says Weeeler stabbed him be

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, NOMINATIONS.
Our Indian Affairs.

The Indian tribes bordering the Pa
cific railroad are again on the war path.
Murder and pillage are once more in
the ascendant upon the plains, which
government must suppress at every
hazard. Our Indian affairs have been
terribly managed ever since the white
man obtained foothold on the CONT
nenT. Time instead of correcting
abuses only adds to them, and the old
story of fire, robbery, murder and tor
ture has been repeated till it excites
no comment. The Indian agents and
generals meet their d" braves" in coun-
Gil, have a &" talk" swap promises of
amity and peace, the whites giving
them guns, ammunition and a general
commissary for boot, when the Indians
return to their reservation to eat the
provisions thus obtained, and when
all is gone they again emerge to plum,
der and massacre defenceless settlers,
when another talk is had with the
same arguments, the same agreements,
and the same results. This is all
wrong. The policy has been a bad
one-wOrse than JohnsOns even has
cost the government millions of mon
ey and rivers Of blood. The true
way to deal with these rowing bandits
Is to serve them as we would any band
OF robbers, hang them as soon as cap.
tured. determination is the true and
only safe policy. 1t may look like a
hard christianity and doubtful phi
lanthropy, but the settler who has
built his hut upon the prairie must be
protected, and his wife and children
saved from the incursions of these
lawless savages. Our first duty is to
them. We are happy to learn that
orders to this effect have been issued
from Washington to our generals in
the west, to negotiate with them no
more, but to hang them as fast as they
are caught. This will solve the intri-
cate problem of Indian diplomacy and
bring order out of this chaos. We
are well aware that the red man is not
the only one at fault. Beyond all
question he has been abused, terribly
abused by his white christian brother.
He has been driven time without num-
Der from his hunting grounds and shot
down in his tracks by many pale
faced desperate. We have paid nc
heed to treaty stipulations, but have
shown him even worse than PuniC
faith, till now after the lapse of ;
century or more he repays US in kind
The history of the Indian race unfor
tunately shows us too many example
Of this nature, but it matters not, tn
innocent of this generation should nc
suffer for the sins of the past or tn
present age.

EDUCATION.

liN ICDOI vi IAAN - INV ~ Clbf "a
Vermont and State Agricultural Col
lege Is worthy of your careful atten-
ton. The officers say that they are
endeavoring to do faithful and vaIua-
ble work for the State. An investi-
CATION that has been made with care,
shows that during the last collegiate
year, only one hundred and sixty or
seventy young men III our State were
members Of any college or scientific
school, either in Vermont or else
where. Not more than forty can have
graduated during the year. This is
very small number Of young men,
for our population, to be pursuing a
thorough practical training, and a
large number of our sons should be
encouraged to enter the colleges of
our State, where they may receive
the preparation which is "of value tc
men in every worthy vocation"
The condition of our common schools
may be learned from the report Of the
secretary of the board of education
We are expanding annually nearly five
hundred thousand dollars in the sup
port of free schools, with an aggre
gate attendance of nearly fifty thouS
and children, while the number OF
children of school age is about seven
ty-six thousand. Should we not seel
for some means Of securing a large
attendance upon our schools? 1t i
the ignorant and idle that furnish III
mates of our reform schools, jails an
prisons.
1t would seem that the obligation
of parents to their children ought t
, be sufficient to secure the attenC
, ance of a much larger number of scho
lars upon our public schools. 1t has
however, been found necessary to Ell
, act laws regulating this matter, an
we are asked in the seeretary's IL
port, if thoeo laws cannot In their OF
: erations be made more effective, b
: making it the duty of the school of
GERS to inquire into, and prescott
violations.
Is it not matter of prudence
the expenditure of our public none
that it should be paid only to we
qualified teachers As a means of S
: curing them, and receiving the grea
y est benefit from our schools, we shoul
L by generous aid, develop the full poy
/ er for good of our Normal Schools.

Governors Message.

From the governors message, which
was delivered on Friday the 9th inst,
we make the following extracts, which
cannot but interest our readers, as
would the whole message if We had
space to allow of printing it.
FINANCES.
1t is gratifying to be able TO report
that our financial condition continues
to improve. Under the wise proyis-
lens of former legislatures, the funded
debt of the state has been reduced
during the year two hundred and thlr-
ty thousand dollars. With no resour-
ces but direct taxation, and with ex-
traordinary expenditures during the
past few years, amounting in the ag-
gregate to upwards of five millions of
dollars. we find ourselves at the close
of the fiscal year with funded in
debtedness, after deducting balance
to credit of sinking fund, OF eleven
hundred and sixty eight thousand dol
lars.
The war claim of the state against
the United States has received the
special attention of the auditor Of &C
counts. The unadjusted balal ce due
the state is now $217,22223. It is
estimated by the auditor that We may
expect with confidence to receive,
within the present fiscal year, at least
one hundred and ten thousand dollars
on these claims.
What is received during the year
from the United States may be appro-
priated to further reducing the funded
debt or applied to reduction Of the
tax.
The aggregate Indebtedness of all
the towns and cities in the state, as
shown from the returns made to the
state treasurer, is nineteen hundred
and thirty-nine thousand one hundred
and ninety eight dollars. Nearly one
half of the debt is found in the coun.
ties of Bennington and Windsor.
ASSESSMENT OF TAXES.
The assessed value OF the real and
personal estate OF Vermont was, il
1860, nearly eighty-fVe millions OF
dollars, while its true value i'll money
according to the census of that year
was over two hundred and fifteen mil
lions. The existing laws require tina
the real and personal estate shall be
set in the lists at its true value ii
money" The adoption of any Other
course is unjust as well as illegal
1t is the practice, on the part of list
erS III some localities, to file their list;
in the town clerks Office without the
oath prescribed by law, thereby cas-
ing their cOnsciences for any irregu
laritieS in their mode of assessing the
property set in the lists. 1t may bt
well to enquire if more faithful dis
charge of the duties OF listers woulC
not be secured by prescribing som,
penalty for their neglect or violation
Of the requirements of the laws.
The right of appeal from the lister
lies only in the party whose propert.
is appraised. 1t has been suggested
that it would be beneficial to give TIL,
right of appeal to any taxpayer, fol
if any of the property in town is as
Sessed at less than its true cash value
it is matter of interest to all tax
payers to have it corrected. The righ
at appeal would oiso a,s.,..1 1880,
faithful discharge OF the duties of list
ers.
