RESULT OF THE ELECTIoNs.-The
New York Herald, which is not a Repub-
loan paper and which predicted before
the recent elections great gains for the
Democracy, now says that the following
facts may be regarded as established:
"First-That the people of the United
States, by a heavy majority, accept. en-
dorse and approve the administration of
Gen. Grant. Seoond-That the Republi-
can party on the platform of this admin
istration are sure of decisive maiority
in the popular branch of the next Con-
gress, whereby, the Senate being secure,
both Houses will be in accord with the
resident to the end of his present term.
1hird-That he is good for second
Term against all opposition combinations
ana opposing candidate. Fourth-That
the Democrats have made no headway of
any account since 1868 Fifth-Tbat the
new element .of the colored vote il en-
m p with the Republicans S;rth~
mat there is some danger that tba namo-
craoy may loose New York in Novanbar y

DEATH OF Hon. JOHN HOWE. We
are panied to learn that the Hon. John
Howe, for many years a well known oiti-
zen of this State, died at Poughkeepsie,
N. Y, on Sunday last, at the age of fifty
one years.
Mr.. Howe was the son OF the Hon.
John Howe, Of Brookline, Mass, one of
the promoters and early directors of the
Rutland and Burlington Railroad, and
was born at Boston, September "a, 1919.
He came to Brandon several years ego
and was connected with the furnace and
iron works in that town. He Subsequent
ly established xtereic. s.5hs for the
manufacture of scales with which he was
so long identified, and which made his
name familiar not only over this country
but almost throughout the world.
He was a Senator from Rutland county
in 1865 and 1866. being colleague Of
Seneca NJ Dorr ard Pitt w. Hyde.
We are not prepared at this time to
give fitting notice of lis life, services
and character, but trust that suitable
notice will be prepared at an early day.
His funeral will be held at the Congro-
gational church, in Brandon, tomorrow
Thursday morning at o'clock.

WHY Is LACE CosTLY?-Many wonder
why what is termed real lace-as lace
made by hand is called, TO distinguish il
from that made by machine, which is call
ed imitatiOn-is so costly? The following
paragraphs from foreign exchange ex-
plains this reason:
"The manufacture of lace is carried to
its highest perfection in Belgium. The
finest specimen of Brussels lace is so com
plicated as to require the labor of seven
persons on one piece, and each operative
is employed at distinct features of the
work. The thread used is of exquisite
fneness, which is spun in dark, under
ground rooms, where it is sufficiently moist
to prevent the thread from separating.
b" 1t is so delicate as scarcely to be seen,
and the room is so arranged that all the
light admitted shall fall upon the work
1t is such material that renders the genuine
Brussels so costly. On a piece of Val
enciennes not two inches wide, from two
to three hundred bobbins are sometimes
used, and for the larger width as many as
eight hundred on the same pillow. The
most valuable Valenciennes is determined
by the number of times the bobbins have
been twisted in making the ground ; the
more frequent the twists the clearer and
more beautiful will be the lace Belgium
annually sells of this lace alone to the val
ue of over four millions of dollars. Chan
tilly lace is always black, and is used
chiefly for wells and founces. 1t is very
fine, and is extensively worn. Mechlin
lace is made at Mechlin, Antwerp, and
other localities"

WESTERN VERMONT MUSICAL Con
vENTION.-Tho twentieth annual conven-
ton of the Western Vermont Musical
Association is now in session at the Opera
Hall in this place.
Notwithstanding the unfayorable state
OF the weather, yesterday morning, it
opened with a chorus of nearly one hun
dred singers. The practice, so far, has
been mainly on church music, interspersed
with few glees, the evening session clos
ing with vocal exercises and remarks on
cultivation of the voice, by the conductor,
w. o. Perkins, who wields the baton with
more than his accustomed dignity. We
noticed S. G. Moore presiding at the piano
with his usual grace and affabilty. Mr.
J. P Cobb and wife are also in town, as
Mrs. D. G. Hall, and will with Mrs Oliver
and others appear before the convention
to-day.
The prospects now are that it will be'a
large gathering Of the musical talent of
Western Vermont and adjoining towns in
New York, and must be profitable to
those who participate in the exercises, a.
well as a success to the officers of the As
ISOLATION. The exercises commence this
morning at half-past nine, and it is re-
quested that the singers be prompt on
time.

the whole matter had been very carefully considered

ulate the Laws relating to marriage after divorce.

ed and made in the Session of 1866, by the Legisla-
ture with the assistance of the Justices of the Su-

but had been well administered since that time.

WE give below the report of the
Special Committee, appointed by the
Legislature of 1868 to suggest changes
and report plan to otherwise remodel
system of taxation. .,.t
The last Legislative Assembly nominated
special committee, to confer with the Minister of
Finance upon the system of taxation at present
obtaining in the Kingdom, suggest or otherwise
remodel the same and report to the Assembly at
its session in 1870. The committee would beg
leave to submit the following
REPORT. .s..
For the purposes of careful consideration. we
have divided our subject into the following
! classes Personal Taxes. II-Taxes on Prop
erty. III-Taxes on Animals. IV-Commercial
imports & Duties .-... .-.t
l. Personal Tapes-Tbese are Poll, one
dollar School, two dollars; Road. two dollars.
These are payable exceptions provided for by
law) by all His Majestys male subjects, fromthe
/ age of seventeen to sixty years The Poll tax
alone is paid into the public treasury. The School
and Road Taxes are used in the districts where
they are raised and for the benefit of the people
residing in the same. They are simply com
pulsory method of making a people take some
care of themselves who otherwise might not do
so. The exemptions to taxation provided for by
law, are so numerous and liberal, that those only
who are able, are called upon to pay The com.
mittee are in favor of the personal taxes as they
at present exist.
! Property 7ar-This now amounts to one
property of one hundred dollars or more, in value.
The committee are of the opinion. however. that
certain kinds Of property escape taxation, in many
j instances

does not return this property to the assessor, as
it is not in the district. c, on the other hand,
does not return it, as his liabilities cover its value.
The transaction may happen, and each party be
blameless. Again DO liabilities held in foreign
lands are allowed to be pleaded as offsets to the
payment of taxes on property in the country
/ and Justly too nasmuch as the property receives
the protection Of Government The committee
are of the opinion that this principle might be
benifcialy extended to property held in the diff
ereut districts of the Kingdom, The Govern
ment, through its assessors. finds property in
district which is subject to taxation. 1t also
finds parties in the district, holding and enjoying
the use of such property. The simplest way then,
in our opinion, is to assess the taxes property
so found, to the party in the district holding and
enjoying the uses of the same; leaving the party
the right to Offset the amount of taxes so paid,
against any liabilities which may be held BY the
real owners of the property, against them. The
committee have prepared a bill to the above
effect In the matter Of statistical information,
