1t is now about fifteen years that William
M. Tweed and Peter B. Sweeney, the present
managers of the Tammany ring in the city of
New York, have been in politics." and dur
ing those fifteen years the tax levy of that
city has grown from $2,O00,00O to 1923 ,0OO, 900,
an increase of $40, 100000 per annum. Itisn't
strange, under the circumstances, that Tweed
and Sweeny have become rich enough to own
Governor of the State and control him for
their own purposes. They also own the pres
ent legslature-or a majority of the mem
bers of it-and the whole canal board. There
fore the revenues of the public works are fall
ing off and the expenditures Increasing. In
stead of returning surplus this year, the
canals will demand the imposition OF tax
upon the people to make good deficiency.

but the people suffer for it,

A WRITER in the DeGter Gazette, who has
been misled by the "Morril Republican" that
wrote to the Advertiser reiterating the stale
falsehood that the PRESS had attacked" Gen.
Chamberlain and complaining of the alleged
offense, and not by the perusal of any article
in this paper, says in effect that the PRESS
denies to the Governor the possession of hon
esty, military or civil ability and, III short, any
meritorious qualities whatever. 1t is plain
from this brief recapitulation of his points the
editor ofthc Gazette had not taken the trouble
to read the PRESS before reviewing its course,
and that he relied solely upon the statements
of the man who undertook to give weight to
his wretched falsehoods by saying that he was
"a personal and political friend of Senator
Morrill," Yes, he is personal and political
friend of Senator Morrill," and "a relative bv
i'sscl-4ss, tda, d while this last fact makes
i necsssarF loi i'm to give Senator Morrill, a
en- re- support t is well known that l is ex-
s sa8t ,atiiude to the Governor for ar
--4t as i'io 10 Aigh judicial office, the tenure
ofwhich is for seven years, gives altogether an
other direction to his sympathics. We have
thoughtit only fair to make this explanation
because of the great Importance attached to the
declarations of "Morrill Republican" We
rather think, in view Of all the circumstances,
that the Advertiser has little reason TO con-
graduate itself SO loudly on finding something
to negative our statement, which we now re
iterate, that "no intelligent and candid reader
ever got the impression from any article that
disappeared IN this paper, that we have sat
tackled" Gov. Chamberlain" And, by the
way, it is of piece with the reckless men
dacity which characterizes all that the Aduer-
tiser says on this subject that Il represents
the Gazette article as reply TO this state
ment, though that paper, dated one day later,
was printed on the same day as our article!
What knave or fool il there in, all the world
who is not capable of making such displays of
acuteness as the Advertiser has made in this
matter? EA

Mr.. Gladstone stated in the British

that they were not likely to be released until

The astronomers are just now turning

In Connecticut the Republicans will have
no aid from colored voters at the April cleo
ton, as the time has passed when they could
be admitted to the suffrage under the local
law. The blame is attributed to Congress,
which has failed to complete the work Of re-
construction, and so prevented the President
from announcing the adoption of the fifteenth
amendment tc the Constitution.
The Pope has done what everybody eI-

He has not accommodated him, reserying
that punishment for a future terror, but he
has reduced him to the ranks, deprived him
Of position and authority as teacher, aud
placed him, SO far as his act can do it, in a
humiliating and degraded position.

Orleans and Washington near the average
Chittenden, franklin, Grand Isle and Iamoille
much below while other counties are much above
on real estate, In personal property, Addison
and Washington are near the mean value while
Bennington, Essex, franklin, Grand Isle and La
noble show only about 81 per cent, or 30 per
cent. too low Chittenden 90 per cent. above,
Caledonia, Windham and Windsor average 40
per cent above, Rutland nearly 30 per cent
above. All this may not be exactly the difference
In value, still it shows too great difference in as
sessing in the different counties for State taxa
ton, Allowing for all errors in coming at the
above figures, | think Chittenden, franklin,
Grand Isle and Iamoille much too low on real es.
