The CONFIDENCE GAME.-A Vermonter. an
elderly man, who had been to New York on
a business tour, arrived in Troy, Friday NOR
ming last, on his way home. Before leaving
the depot he was cheated out of $50 by
means of the confidence game. While wait
ing for the train in the depot. three men APP
preached him, one of whom wanted to Dor
row $50 in order to pay the some money and
offered as security for the immediate return
of the money three ten dollar gold pieces.
The countryman loaned the money as desired
and thieves went off to arrange their matters
leaving the victim in possession of the gold
pieces. 1t is needless to say they were coun-
terfelts, and that the greeney will never see
his $50 in greenbacks again.

, everywhere recognized as permanent, equal
rights are guaranteed to all, perfect freedom
of speech and press is allowed, duelling is
strictly forbidden, and in most cases loyalty
is made a condition of suffrage and Office
holding. While perhaps none of them are
model constitutions, still, the advance is SO
great, and the provisions SO clear and just,
that any little faults, or any insertion of
special legislation, can well be forgiven.
REVENUE LAWS.
Congress is well along with its business,
and the House has fairly attacked the internal
revenue bill though it was expected that
they would refuse to do SO. Many modifca-
lions will be made and the system be much
improved by this bill though even that can
do us little good, as long as we have officers
who will not execute the laws and Presi-
dent who winks at all kinds of corruption.
MIR. Rollins, the Commissioner of internal
revenue, who is almost the only honest and
faithful officer in authority in the Bureau
here, has been forced to resign, because the
President has so hampered him on every side
with rascals. Were it not that a change of
administration is soon coming, few honest
men could remain in office, and we should be
entirely given over to rings" and plum
derers.
THE CITY ELECTION
We are having quite lively time here in
the city government. At the election the
other day the Republican Mayor was elected.
and by the action of the registers in one of
the wards, casting out fraudulent votes. the
majority of the councils were Republicans
The Democrats unwilling to give up their
plumber claimed to be elected and the conse-
quence has been that we have had two Boards
of Councils and consequent rule of neither
Tn" quarrel ir n -o-5- funny ono especially
as we have Congress right here ready at anv
moment to annul their charter if any serious
trouble is likely to happen 1t is a perfect
tempest in teapot.
INFRINGEMENT.
1t will be very pleasant for the people to
hear that Congress is really becoming econ
omlcal, and all their talk is not mere breath
For the navy, they have appropriated about
seventeen millions, instead of the estimate of
thlrty-seven millions; for the army, thirty
two millions instead of an estimate of sixty
three millions. Such great reductions can
not fail to be satisfactory, especially as they
promise corresponding reduction of taxa
ton, and relief from our present burdens.
POLITICS.
The Democrats are still deep in the slough
IN regard to their nominee for President. 1t
is generally thought here that Judge Chase
will fail of the nomination though think he
still has fully as good a chance as any other
who has been mentioned. 1t would be a
great thing gained if this nomination could
be made, for it would at once and finally set
tie the question of suffrage and bring our
politics fairly and squarely on the inevitable
question of the finances. W

thorough and searching reform, and yet tn
power of money resisting such reform is 80
great it is almost hopeless to expect that
the tide of corruption can at present be
stayed. >
from a service which neither the President
nor Congress will allow him to reform. He
has been an honest official, but his hands
have been tied. With the coming in of
Grant we may look for the commencement of
reform, but we can hardly hope for relief
till then.
