The correspondent Of the Troy Times

reads when he charges that "thc HERALD

wonderfully stupid or malciously misrcp-

the English language can make it that
the HERALD favored the enforcement of
the law to its letter. In the article on
the subject Of "the closing the Rutland
hotels and the issue" it was plainly urged
that the law should be enforced to test
the question beyond Il peradvcnture. We
are aware that men stand on the corners
ofthc street to misreprescnt the position
ofthc HERALD on this issue, and it seems
to have been forgotten by the community
that the very first point made in this
whole matter grew out Of certain demands
made by the landlords Of Rutland Of the
publishers Of the HERALD, which they
promptly refused. From thence this
warclarc has gone on, and it is a misrep-
rcscntation, unqualified and untrue, to say
that "thc HERALD is on the fence. y

RUTLAND HoTEL WAH-The Troy
Times OF Tuesday evening says: A cor
respondent writing from Rutland yesier-
day morning gives the latest phases of
the singular hotel war now raging in that
town:
This Monday morning witnesses more
excitement in town than has been known
since the days Of the rebellion. The four
fine hotels have discharged all their en-
ployes, and large boards nailed across the
doors have the word "closed' painted on
them in large black letters The Bard
well, Central, Bates aud Stevens Houses
are thus shut against all travellers and
boarders, but for how long no one pre-
tends to know. The cause Of the hotels
closing their doors is that they have all
been prosecuted for selling liquor con-
trary to law Last ght the front door
and verandah ofJustice b. W. Marshall's
house were treated to coat Of tar and
feathers, as an omen Of what temperance
Justice might expect if he administered
the law. Many prominent citizens have
thrown open their doors to the travelling
public. Among others we might mention
ex-Gov. John b. Page, Col. George A.
Merrill, j. NJ. Haven Treasurer Of the
Rutland and Burlington railroad, j. b.
Reynolds, ex-President of the Bank OF
Rutland, and others. Sleeping cars win
be called into requisition, and the public
will not suffer. The newspapers are
much sought for and the offices are crowd
ed with news-seekers. The Herald on
the fence, not taking either side. The
independent takes strong temperance
ground. The Courier takes sides with
the hotels, The Mirror advocates the
repeal of the law or its strict observance.
The Courier has issued a "third edition"

bail was fixed at $4,000, to appear before
the county court for trial in March, and
he went to Jail in default He is the
smartest rogue in New England, of his
age, being only 10 years old. On the
charge of burglary, Elvaro St. John was
put under $1,000 bonds and was jailed,

Democratic constitutional law" says Hon.
James III. Platt, Jr., of Virginia, in a

we're in the interest of the Democratic
party and now, sir, we witness the remar-
kable spectacle of this party, which con-
ferred such powers upon these men with
no apprehension of injury to State Govern
ments-with no fears as to any destruction
of our liberties-with no doubts as to their
entire Observation-Disclosures boldly deny

have searched in vain for the call made by
the Governor or Legislature of Massachu-
sets for troops to assist in the rendition of
Anthony Burns. Every gentleman on
this floor knows that the United States
soldiers sent to that State by the Dmocrat-
party to assist their blood-hounds in tear
ing from Massachusetts soil that poor,
trembling fugitive were not sent there at
the request of that State, but by virtne of
the law passed by a Democratic Congress,
enforced by a Democratic Administration,
and interpreted by a Democratic Attorney
General, whose Interpretation has been
sustained by the Courts and I know the
no legal sophistry can make them believe
that it was constitutional to use the army
and navy of the United States in returning
fugitives to slavery, but that no constitu-
tional means can be found to use these
agencies for the protection of life, liberty
and property of free American citizens in
every State in this Union,"
Nothing could more effectually show,
says the St. Louis Democrat. the incon-
sistency of the Democratic leaders than
this historic record. The contrast with
their present outcry in regard to the sacred
ness of the Constitution is striking and sug-
gestive. They could always find constitu-
tional authority for the extension and
perpetuation of slavery; they can find
none for guarding and enforcing human
rights. But laws and constitutions are
only valuable as they preserve freedom,
maintain civilization and promote the we'll
being of mankind.
