trary, it would leave the government richer
than before. This is the hackneyed argu-
mcnt OF swindlers and thieves Though
a man he as rich as Cruesus. without COM
mercial credit and social standing he is worse
than a heggar. If the United States once
tails from the path of honesty, it can never
more regain it, or only after many years.
The present generation can not recover from
the effects of such a step.
We present these considerations to our
friends, the working men, and ask them to
seriously reflect upon them. Can they afford
20 encourage Reputation. We do not
speak of the morality of such proposition,
though that ought to have more weight
than any other question connected with
the subject We simply speak of reputation
as a financial enterprise.

Some two or three years since clergynen OF
New York city was very much surprised 70

twelyemonth before, procured a divorce from

received any iutimation that his wife intended to
seek lyga. separation, and the fact that she bad
procured one cane 10 him incidentally. An
equally surprising case was developed ia the
Sup-eme Court Of New York city last week. A
gentleman doing business in that city AID res'l-
ing in Connecticut, testified that he was first
made aware Of the enforcement Of his wife from
him by seeing the announcement Of her marriage
with s,uhe7 man Witnesses we've brought
forV ID go prove thai be vas never served with
the i.rloess that the proper documents were
never forwarded 70 him; that the afhllyit- or
which the divorce was obtained were never
sworn to; that the wife was living (aui hal been
living for long time previous si;h her second
husband at the time the divorce vas obtained;
that she ran away with him to Europe ani -'I'

The session of the Vermont Legislature
opens on Thursday. Oct. lith The mem-
hers are having their good clothes made,
and arranging their affairs for six weeks
absence from their ordinary business while
those who have projects to carry are getting
the bills drawn and facts together, and ar
ranging for the legislative campaign. Il
looks now as If the session was likely TO be
free from the prolonged and exciting railroad
contests that have taken 50 much OF the
time of the Legislature for the past three
sessions. 1t is perhaps expecting too much
to suppose that the Bennington County f-at
will not be resumed in some shape but We
are pretty sure that if 50. it viii be on a
much smaller scale than heretofore. There
are other railroad questions to come up,
which may prove of general interest. The
question Of a new County in the southern
part Of the State is also understood to be
underscored for discussion and there need
be little fear but that there Will be matters
of importance and interest to occupy the
Legislature. We see no reason, however,
why the session should not bc " short and
effective, - if not a sharp one. There is ike
ly to be no delay with the organization Of eth
er House. The arrangement perfected by
last years legislation, by which the abstracts
Of the Grand List are compiled and the
List made up by the Secretary of STATE he
fore the opening Of the session. viii obviate
the usual delay in all matters relating to the
taxes, which hitherto have had 10 wait till
after the committee to make up the Grand
List had reported The usual work of the /
canvassing committee Is also already done. /
We see no reason why a. soon as the stand .
ing committees are appointed, the members
should not 60 promptly and steadily TO work,
make an industrious and useful session of it,
and return to their duties as private citizens
with the credit-not by any means too COM

the public time and money in their session.

II is not likely that New England will be left
out in the cold at present But if that event
should ever happen, it would not deprive her Of
large representation in Congress. Her sons.
scattered all over the country. would lind their
way TO the national Legislature. and do honor
to their Yankee birth. Many persons can not
realize what moral supremacy New England
has in the country. Such persons may find
one good indication in the statistics Of nativity
OF Congressman. A Philadelphia paper has been
looking up the matter, and finds that Of the
-ixty-hve Senators in the Fortieth Congress. New
England furnished twenty. distributed as fol-
lows Massachusetts, seven Vermont. 1--WE.

OF the House, New England claims ffv-tbree a.
her sons. The number is made up as follows
Massachusetts,, nineteen Maine, eleven; Yer

four. twill thus be seen that whatever nav be
