roads and bridges, the support Of paupers, and
many other matters are exclusively in their jurls-
diction. The imposition of taxes, and expendi-
turc of all monies for all these purposes and the
election of all officers for the performance ) these
duties, is by towns. In respect to oil these mat
lers each town is wholly independents little
Republic in itself. The consideration OF these
questions involves matters of public finance, and
administrative policy as important perhaps IN

Every town meeting is Congress for the consld-
Grafton and determination Of these subjects. In
this way the attention Of every man is drawn to
the consideration of public affairs, and TO great
er or less extent he becomes familiar with The
principles involved in the administration of the
larger departments of the government. The diff
ference between the two is rather one Of degree
than Of kind.
But what is perhaps an equally important ei-
feet of this species of local government, it teaches
every man that ho is a part Of the government II
impresses him with the proper idea of his respon-
sibilty MS a citizen, and with n knowledge that
it behooyes him to make himself acquainted with
the history and principles of the government
that he may properly perform his duty. These
town Congresses serve also an excellent purpose
in furnishing an opportunity for ambitious gen
tlcmen to bring themselves before the people, and
win popular favor. Economy and reform can be

The Byron Controversy.

Mrs. Stoves Apology will be published on
the sth Of January, and will command at
tentivc perusal. The first point which she
urges is that she made her disclosures in de-
Tense of beloved, rovercd friend, whose
memory stood forth in the eyes of the civil
lied world charged with most repulsive crimes,
of which she certainly knew Lady Byron in
nocent. She goes on to say;
81 claim, aud shall prove, that Lady Byron's
reputation has been the victim Of concerted at
tack, begun by her husband during her lifetime,
and coming to its climax over her grave. ] claim,
and shall prove, that it was not who stirred up
this controversy in this year 1869. ! shall show
who did do It,, and who is responsible for bring
ing on me that hard duty Of making these dis
closures, which it appears to me ought to have
been made by Others claim TINT these facts
were given to me unguardcd by any promise Of
seal or secrosy, expressed or implied that they
were lodged with me as one sister rests her story
with another for sympathy, for counsel, for de-
tense Never did suppose the day would come
that | should be obliged to undergo 50 cruel an an
guish as this use Of them has been 10 me- Neyerdid
suppose thnt,-whcn those kind hands, that had
shed nothing but blessings, were lying in the
helpessnoss of death when that gentle heart,
50 sorey tried and to the last 50 full Of love, was
lying cold in the tomb,-a countryman in Eng
land could be found to cast the louost ISLANDERS on
her grave, and not one in all England to raise
an effective voice in her defense. ~
Mrs. Stowe here refers, apparently to the
article on Byron in the July Backwood,
which she stigmatiles as " branding Lady
Byron as the vilest Of criminals, and recon.
mending the Guicciol book to Christian
public as interesting from the very fact that
it was the avowed production Of Lord By
ron's Mistress She felt that somebody
ought to reply to the charges made, but the
friends who knew Lady Byron personally
were a small, select circle in England, whom
death is every day reducing; few in number
compared with the great world, and were
silent q" saw these foul ISLANDERS crystal
izing into history" says Mrs Stowe, I'M
contradcted by friends who knew her person
ally, who, firm in their own knowledge Of her
virtues and limited in view as arstocratic
circles generally are, had no idea Of the
width Of the world they were living in, and
the exigency Of the crisis. When time passed
on and no voice was raised, | spoke"
Mrs Stowe, in this book, defends herself
from the fierce attacks made upon her, and
gives additional evidence to substantiato her
original Story" She says she has not read
the abuse Of the press, though kindly advised
by friends of its general substance.
