THE RUTLAND HERALD.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER go. 1870.
MIR. NIOtley's Letter.

Within the last month it has beer
known that Elk Minister Motley has beer
preparing vindioation of the charges
made against him that he had violated his
instructions as the Minister of the United
States at the Court of st. James. 1t is
reported to be document of great ability
and possessed of absorbing interest. 1t is
understood that Secretary Fish and Sens-
tor Sumner both are in possession OF a
copy. Mr.. Sumner regards it as COM
plete vindioation of Mr.. Motley.
1t is expected that on the reassembling
of Congress a resolution will be presented
in the Senate calling for it, but it is a
question whether it will be adopted, mas
much as it is an unofficial document, pre-.
pared after his recall. The President has
read the letter, and is said to be in favor
Of letting it go TO the country. If called
for, reply will be sent in with it to coun-
teraot the statements embraced therein. 1t
is reported that the day following the re-
i.sal of the Senate to ratify the San Do
mingo treaty Mr.. Motley received notif-
cation that the administration no longer
desired his services. Previous to that time
he had never received an intimation from
official sources that his course in England
was not satisfactory, and was therefore
taken by surprise at the dispatch he re-.
ceived from the Secretary of State; more
80 from the fact that he had never said a
word adverse to the treaty. He claims
that he was particular in all official and
personal communications with the British
government to follow the very letter of
bis instructions. He has set forth the
whole matter in very elaborate manner
in his letter of vindicstion, which will be
given to the public in some form at an
early day. This San Domingo affair seems
to have a troublesome way, and is likely
to absorb much of the attention of Con-
gress and provoke great discussion in all
commercial and POLITICAL oiroles, but it is
generally believed that the Presidents
position will be Endorsed when the ques-
ton is fully ventilated, and some decisive
action taken thereon before the adjourn.

THE CELEBRATED eATLING GUN
has been two days on exhibition within a
few squares of the capitol The firing of
ten shots in three seconds time gave a
peculiar report. or succession of reports,
which brought out one and all to witness
its operation Members of Congress left
the scenes of actual warfare in legislation,
and sought the place of mimic war, to
behold the wonderful "new-fangled ma
chine" The gun is composed of ten rifle
barrels, set in one breech, in cylindrical
form, so constructed that by turning a
crank the gun revolves and fires each bar
rel singly at given point by an lnge'
NOUS piece of mechanism it is so arranged
that the same motion that fires the gun
also loads it. Thus hopper can be at
tached to one side of the breech filled with
cartridges, and single gunner can fire
two hundred shots in a minute. Al an
exposition in England, in competing with
the noted French Mittraileur, over
three hundred shots were made in q
minute, making double the number of
points in every respect that the French
arm did during the same length of time
The gun can be set so as to vary the shots
if desired. These arms are made by the
Colts Patent Firearms Manufacturing
Company, Hartford, Conn, and large
numbers of them have been ordered for

regular epidemic of fires has broken out

was that at Richmond on Sunday, by

the one at Richmond in pecuniary dam

has thus far, this season been exempt from
fires where the losses mount into the
hundred thousands. The fires of which
the telegraph has told the stery within

BIRTHS, DEATHS AND MARRIAGES IN
VERMoNT-We have received the 18th
annual registration report of Vermont
the first in which every town in the State
has been repor ced. It covers the year
1868, when tie population of the State
was probabl' I about $4,000, and shows
that there We're, in that year, TOTO births,
which is more than thousand greater
than wa ever reported before. There is
no rea' on to suppose that all tho births
were reported in 1860, and probably the
trufs number in the State was at least
50 90, which would be but one to 81 per-
ous in the State. In Rhode Island the
rate is one to SO, and about the same in
| nj massachusetts,. The deaths reported IN
| ' ermont were 4442, which is also placed
at too small number, being but one IN
every 70 inhabitants. The death rate
| thus becomes 10 4, while in Massachusetts
! it is about IS, and in Rhode Island nearly
III. 1t would, of course, be lowest In
Vermont, but there ought not to be go
great difference The mortality of in.
fants is rapidly increasing in Vermont,
as elsewhere, moro than four times as
many being reported in 1868 as in 1854
There were 2061 couples married in
: Vermont in 1868, the largest number re-
ported IN any year except 1000. Ihls
number is also too small, we have nc
doubt. The number of divorces is exact.
ly given, however, as 1877, III per cent
of all marriages performed. In 1867 il
was 159, in 1866 155. Both marriages
and births are more frequent among the
f foreign born population than the native;
as is the case all over New England. The
divorces, however, are chiefly among
natives.
The authorities of Vermont are much
to be commended for the pains they take
to make their registration exact 1t is
less so han in Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island, hut it is fast improving, and it
should be- remembered that DR.. Snow,

only other New England State that pub
fishes registration reports, for although
New Hampshire collects the returns and
authorizes the secretary of state to tabu-
late them, he never does so nor is this
done, we believe, in Maine Every State
ought to collect and publish these impor-
| tant facts.

The NEW SCHOOL LAw.-We think
the wisdom at Montpelier did one good
thing at the last session. and that is the
passage of law compelling certain chill
dren to attend our public schools. The
law is probably familiar to all. 1t makes
it the duty of civil officers in town, on
complaint of three voters. to compel the
attendance at school of all idle children
between the ages Of s and IA. And if the
children or their guardians refuse to com.
ply, the children shall be sent to the Re.
form School-&. Adams transcript.
The transcript is slightly in error. The
provision for sending truant children to
the Reform School was struck out of the
original bill. AS passed, the penalty is g
fine of from ten to twenty dollars upon

tice, does not send bis child to school al
