ARRIVAL AT RUTLAND.
As the train approached the depot, the
Keene Band, Will Allen, leader, which had
been persuaded to accompany the party tc
Rutland, struck up national air, which
they played with fine effect. The Rut.
land depot was densely packed with
people, ropes having been put up to make
pathway for the party to reach the car
riages. The Governor escorted the Presi-
dent to Gen. Baxter's carriage, to which
was attached four horses. In the car
rage beside the President and Gov. Page
were DR.. Goldsmith, Chairman OF the
Citizens Committee, and DR.. Charles +.
Adams, President of the Board of Trus-
tees. In the second carriage were Mrs.
Gen. Grant and Mrs. Gov. Page and Gen.
Porter and lady. Then followed car
riages containing the committee and
many citizens. The Rutland Fire De-
partment and the Post of the Grand
Army of the Republic, accomP4n-
led by the. Rutland and Keene
Band, we're then marched in front
of the Presidents carriage, and the
procession started under the marshaiship
of Col. Charles H. Joyce, assisted by Capt
Walter c. Dunton. The line OF march
was commenced up Washington street.
which was filled with eager spectators
When the President was passing oPPo-
site Court street, Mrs. Newton Kellogg
approached the carriage and presented
him with beautiful boquet of flowers.
The procession passed through Main
street to West, down West street
to Merchants Row to tho depot
grounds. When the procession reacned

GRANT ON SALARIES.

PRESIDENT GRANT in the concluding para
graph of his message alludes to the inadequate
salaries of some of the most important officers
of the Government. He probably thinks, and
very justly, that his own compensation is en-
tirely too small for the proper maintenance
of the dignity of his Office, but as a specimen
case he only alludes to the Justices of the
Supreme Court, who have had no increase. of
salary for fifteen years, while their labors have
been largely augmented, and the price of
living at least doubled. The President with
touch of sarcasm calls the attention of Congress
to the fact that twice during the same period
it has found it necessary to increase largely
the compensation of its own members, and
he expresses hope that the duty which it
owes to the other departments of the Gov
ernment will receive due consideration.
Members of Congress are able to see very
plainly the necessity for an advance of salary
when their own interests are concerned, but
when it comes to other people the Importance
of economy looms up in gigantic proper
tions If Congress would do away with the
perquisites of its members in the way of
Stationery" includes every conceiv-
able article from pens, ink, and paper to fine

watts, gloves lemons, whisky, cigars, and

President and other chief officers of
the Government salaries in proportion
to the'extent and Importance of their ser

the present time disgrscefully small, the Pre-

OF our common country, wherever he may
chance to move, without reference to origi-
nal nationality, religion, color, or politics,
demanding Of him only obedience to the laws
and proper respect for the rights Of othOrs;"
and the increasing disposition of the South to
treat the freedmen justly and to Welcome
Northern emigrants, gives good reason for
the hope that few years hence American
citizenship will prove an inviolable safe-con-
duct and passport for settlers or travellers of
every color, in every section of the republic.
The success which has attended the efforts
of the President to establish moro faithful
and effective mode of collecting the internal
revenue gives force to his request for total
repeal of the Tenure Of Office act which it
would not otherwise possess, but there is per-
haps greater danger of a disagreement with
Congress on this subject than on any other,
except the proposition to abolish the franking
privilege, which is justly characterized as
IAN abuse from which no one receives oom-
mensurate advantage"

The PoPE does not believe that there is any
good in newspapers, and in effect he has init
mated in very plain terms that he considers
them to be Instruments in the hands of Satan
for corrupting the souls of men. 1t is not to
be wondered at, therefore, if he discounte-
nances such troublesome fellows as reporters
and correspondents. The Pope has no dis
position to be interviewed, and he does not
intend that the proceedings of his big council
shall be given to the world in any other shape
than will oonduce to the best interests of the
Church. The correspondent of the London
Times has been prohibited from entering
the Papd States, and the readers OF that
journal will therefore be obliged to
content themselves with such in
formation about the council as can be
picked up by chance. This is perhaps pru-
dent step on the part of the Roman authori-
ties; for there will probably be some sharp
things said by prelates who are not in sym
pathy with the ultramontane party, which it
would be just as we'll for the Church If the
world at large knows nothing about. If the
Times correspondent were sharp Yankee,
he would not be discounted, however, by
such mishap as this but he would manufac-
ture out of his own brain a report of the
proceedings that would be just as interesting
to the majority of his readers as if it were
genuine

The apparent decrease in 1867 arises from the
first adopted in that year Of excluding from
this return the income of public companies, etc,
and restricting it to incomes of individual persons
The income charged with the tax, but thus excluded
from this return for the financial year 1s66-67
amounted to e1s862,9 ,9Os in England, c1,OO491o In
Scotland, e52009T III Ireland, being G14, ,ssT $50 for
the United Kingdom so that the income charged
with the tax in lS6d6 greater than that charged
in either Of the two preceding years, and amounted
to GlO7 ,s5l in England, sol In Scotland
e5 92G4 455 in Ireland, making el25, 50I for the
United Kingdom besides e32 229 12l, the income OF
railways, mnes iron works. ETC., transferred in and
since the year 1S6667 from schedule to schedule D.
But, still restricting the analysis to the income OF
individual persons charged with income tax under
schedule D, we find that the returns for the hnan-
cial year 1886 CT show an average income for the
persons so charged OF rather more than c29O in
England, rather more than e2s5 In Scotland, rather
more than e27T in Ireland; in the whole United
Kingdom the average for the 452 persons charged
under this schedule ION incomes amounting to ell0,
995,G2D rather more than e290 each. The differ
ence In the average for the three kingdoms is small,
and is to be found rather in the number OF persons
paying the tax than in the average amount paid.
Taking the Registrar Generals estimate OF popula-
ton we find that in the financial year 1S66-6I income
tax under schedule d was charged in the United
Kingdom on about one in every seveRty-eight per-
sons; but in England it was charged on about one
In every sXtynVe PERSONS IN ScOJianu on ABOUT one
in eghty-two in Ireland on only one in about
two hundred and eighty-six persons. AS the
return for the financial year 1868 is the first
which has been restricted to individual perso pay
ing the tax, excluding companies comparison in
detail between that and previous year would not
always afford correct result though it is chiefly
the classes Of income above $4,000 that are affected
by the exclusion of companies; but the return for
1s66-6I possesses special interest from its being
strictly an account OF the income Of individual per-
sons 1t shows that in that year income tax was
charged in England on 4O 79 persons having incomes
not exceeding e1OO, chargeable under schedule D.
with other sources OF income as rents, shares in
companies, etc., bringing them within the purview
OF the income tax-their united incomes chargeable
under this schedule amounting to e2,93s, ,795; in
Scotland H. 1926 persons with incomes under elOO
amounting to e635,7O in Ireland on S62s persons
with incomes amounting TO el79,1s2 In the follow
ing table is given the number OF persons in England,
Scotland, and Ireland taxed upon incomes within
the limits named:-

first incumbent of the Office at the foundation
of the Government, moro than three-quarters
of q century ago. President Grant is not
personally interested in this matter, as under
the Constitution his own emoluments cannot
be increased during his term of Office and his
recommendation ought to receive the atten-
tion of Congress, although it is doubtful
whether it will.

the young men of the ci:y,all ofwhom are
actively engaged in making preparations

vexatious routine of business drudgery.
This club, in addition to the two boats
which they now own, have ordered from
James Macksy, the unrivaled boat
builder of New York city, magnificent
six-oared racing shell, which will cost
them when completed, including oars and
transportation, about eight hundred dol
