Gen. Fl. E. Paine, the efficient and up
right member in Congress from this dis
trict reiterates the determination that he
expressed last spring to US and that was
published in these columns, not to be a
candidate for denomination or reelection
The Walworth County Independent con-
tains the following extract from a private
letter addressed to the editor of that pa
per: r
81 shall not be candidate either for re-
nomination or for reelection, but shall of
course do all in my power to promote the
election of the Republican nominee in our
district. I think, however, that it would
be hardly fair for me to meddle with the
nomination. of my successor.
HALBERT E. PAINE
The Independent speakes in high but
merited terms of the public services o.
Gen. Paine, and regrets his determination
to retire from public life. There are many
in the district who share these views. Gen
Paine has been a faithful, honest and pa
triotic public servant, and it will be M
easy task to supply his place in Con
gress.

to call general attention TO one point-namely the

The heaviest attacks heretofore made from this
capital Ton the 10Th and 3otn OF last month"; in which
the ne OF the armies collected In that city have not
been able TO throw back the nrst line OF the
bes'eging forces, lead to the convict n that the
capital Will fall sooner or later.

a captuation, the most terrible results must
follow.
The unwlse destruction OF railways bridges and
canals within q certain distance around Paris by
the French has not oeen able to stop for one mo.
ment the advance of the German armies All CON-
munlcations by land or water needed for military
operations have been re-establlshed In very short
time. These repairs naturally regard military III
terests exclusively while the other distinctions
even after a capltulation, Will prevent for
long time the communication OF the capital
with the provinces. IL VIII be IAN absolute
impossbllity for the German commanders,
when that ease occurs, to provide one
single days ratons for u population Of nearly
100000. The envlrons OF Paris to the distance OF
several days journey-slnce all stores there are
necessarily required for the use Of the German
troops-wl then oGer no resources, and will not
permit the Inhabitants OF Paris to evacuate by the
roads into the country. The Inevitable result would

The persons In power In France cannot fail to dis
Germ these consequences as clearly as the German
commanders, and since to the latter nothing is LETT
but to carry on the war pronered, the rulers OF
France are responsible for forcing such extremes

positive manner to credit the statement They

The French are wild, ashamed and confused. There
IL a most dangerous division Of public sentiment.

the more active of1cials engaged In the public SER
vice, loudly denounce tho army men as traitors TO
the country ana openly threaten-the government
does-to try the CHIEF military officers by drum

The government further declares that 1t regards
that the surrender OF the fortress accomplished
IN furtherance and as part Of plot conspired and
matured In the interest OF the late empire, In order
that the exmperalIsts should regain possession OF
power
Persons OF more cool consideration ana camer
judgments condemn these assaults on the loyalty or
the army. They affirm that they believe Bazaipe
fought molly at Metz, and that he yielded TO the
necessity Of capitulaton only when he found that
the garrison was pressed by actual starvation.
THE PEACE IDEA.
Many other persons in Tours talk openly OF
peace between france and Prussia as an inevitable
consequence of the surrender OF Bazaine. Some,

eager to retain official power than what they are 10

Census of Vermont.

The census of our state is compile
ted with the exception of Bennine ton
and Franklin. From the report of
the twelve counties already taken it
appears that we have gained in pop
ulation some over ten thousand since
1860, and it is said that Bennington
and Franklin will show a gain of full
three thousand more, so the state will
have gained nearly fourteen thousand.
The counties that gain are Orleans
2047, Lamoille 1879, Caledonia 434,
Essex 1881, ChitteDden 1921, Rut-
land 4769. The counties that lose
are Orange 1856, Windsor 1921,
Washington 1884, Windham 957, Ad-
olson 423, Grand Isle 384. The re-
turns show the principal increase to
be in the large towns like Burlington,
Rutland, st. Adams, st. Johnsbury,
Montpelier, &c. The villages are in
creasing generally: while many farm
ing districts are decreasing. We sup
pose this loss is attributable in a great
degree to the absorption of the small
farms by adjoining larger ones, while
our young men flock to the west
While the increase in our population
is very gratifying, it is not gratifying
to suffer where we do. Below we
give the returns from Orleans, Essex
and Caledonia counties, showing the
exact increase and decrease, and the
towns where they occur:

worse than at Sedan, but not so bad
as at Bazeilles. The gothic chapel
of st. Genegoult, of the date of s14,
is almost ruined. The very imposing
Byzantine Cathedral, built as early as
292, has only a window arch demol-
ished, and its outside battered by a
score of shells.
There are few wounded and no
sick in Toul. Only two battalions
of the 10Th infantry remain as a gar
rison.
Five hundred Mobiles were trained
during the siege to serve the guns
They did artillery work. but in re-
polling the assault Of the 10Th, all the
male Inhabitants that could procure
arms participated.
The palace Of WiIhelm8hohe, where
Napoleon is at present residing, was
built, it is said, by the Elector of
Cassel, shortly after our Revolution
airy war, with the money he received
for the loan of some twelve thousand
of his subjects to aid England in re-
sisting our Independence. The arti-
fetal structures, waterfalls, lakes,
towers, palace, &c, on this property,
are said to have employed two thou
sand men fourteen years in their
construction, and the cost was found
to be so enormous that the accounts
were destroyed. For these twelve
thousand Hessians sent to fight our
fathers, and FIVE thousand more sent
to resist the invasion of Scotland by
the Pretender, England paid the
Elector Of that day 100000 tina
lers, or about $I8,000,000.
Much is said about the bravery of
French troops in the struggle, and it
is well deserved. But the bravery
and heroism Of the German soldiers
displayed in the battles of the war is
unsurpassed in history. Is there a
more brilliant achievement recorded
anywhere than the one performed by
the single Prussian division on the
bloody field Of Mars-la-Tour, when
for six long hours it engaged and
detained the entire French army IN.
