BREAD.-People in this city who consume
bakers bread are inclined to grow riotOus
over the diminutive size of loaves. 1t is
we'll known that -four is cheaper now than
usual, prices ranging from five to nine dol
lars. At these rates bakers should be salts
fed with that remunerative profit, some
times facetiously termed 81 one per cent"
cooperative bakery, well established and
in competent hands, would soon fatten
loaves, and perhaps improve the quality.
The bread ordinance is a dead letter, and
there are citizens who cheerfully mourn
over it's corpse. The question is one that
interests almost every resident, especially
poor families, who are the greatest CON
sumers, as they wish to avoid making fires
to bake in this hot weather.

On HER FEET.-Nora Fisher cast her
lines in bad place when she hooked pair
of shoes from a man whose name is
twisted jaw breaker, on Rampant street.
Proof of Morals guilt was found on hor per-
son, hence the reason for sending her to a
jury by Recorder Houghton. Larceny was
not her only offense. When arrested she had
razor concealed in her clothing, and AS she
had no beard ON her face, it was considered
that she carried the masculine instrument
for no good purpose. On this count and
account she was also sent down for trial.

The Vt. Census of 1871.

COMMUNICATION FROM Ex-GoY. HALL.
To the Editor Of the Free Press 6 Times;
notice that in your paper of Wednesday s
question is made in regard to the correctness Of
the statement Of 9" H. J. R." the Washington
correspondent Of the New York Tribune, that
the printed report Of the Vermont census of
1871 was erroneous in charging sixteen slaves to
the State. There lie no manner Of doubt that
the printed reports was wrong, and that the
Tribuas's correspondent is right.
The report Of the population Of the State BY
that census. by counties, will be found in the
history Of Vermont by DR.. williams. edition of
1874, at page All, and slso in hi. second edi-
ton, from which it will be seen that the column
for all free eolOred persons in the State foots
up at 255, Of which number 20 are credited to
Bennington county, and that there is charged
to that county l6 sldres In no other county
ID single slave found. which is quite incredi-
bic IL slavery did really exist in the State
But the evidence recently brought to light is
entirely conclusive. that the statement Of there
having been l6 slaves in Bennington county was
Burlington weekly free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1866-1928, 1871-09-29

The communication from that venerable
and esteemed citizen, and worthy Historian
of Vermont, Ex-Governor Hiland Hall, be
low, will be accepted as conclusive testimony
in regard to the error in the census report oil
1871, by which Vermont was set down as
holding 10 slaves. Governor Hall has ex-
amined the original return of the census ioF
Bennington County, to which county the 10
slaves were charged, and from personal ac-
ouaintance with the hand writing Of the de-
putty marshal who signed it he is able to GER
tify to it's genuineness. Mr.. Halls descrip-
ton of the return and statement of the man
ner in which the error occurred will be read
with interest.
We perceive from a cursory examination OF
the volume of Statistics of Population, OF
the new census, advanced sheets Of which
have been sent US from Washington, that an
extensive business has been done in correct
ing the errors of previous census tables.
These errors are numerous, arising from ae-
cidental omissions, transpositions and blund-
ers in addition, sometimes amounting to an
error of thousands in a single table. Or
these, three important ones are noticed IN
the table for Vermont, as follows In the
census of 1890, in making mp the total Of
Chittenden county, the /" foreigners not nat
uralized, 2l7 in number, were enormously
omitted, and have never heretofore appeared
in the total of the State and county. In the
census of 1870, mistake of ia was made in
the total for the State, caused by several
errors Of addition in the returns Of Chitten-
den, O-ange, Rutland, Windham and Windsor
c unties. The last error noticed is that
about the slaves, and is referred to, in a note
to the present table of population by coun-
ties, as follows:
The census Of 1890. published in 1871, re-
ports l6 slaves in Vermont Subsequently,
and up to 1860, the number is given as l..
An examination Of the original manuscript re-
turns shows that there never were any slaves in
Vermont The error occurred in preparing the
results for publication.
The matter must be now considered set
tied, we think, by all candid Investigators.
But we suppose We must be prepared to see
it taken up afresh, by some De Costa Of the
4" New School Of Historians, who will dem
onstrate to his own entire satisfaction, in
spite of constitutions, original returns and
all, that Vermont was originally slayehold-
ing State.

There is of course the added complication
of the Fenton- Conkling controversy, which
mingles with every thing in New York poll
tics, Mr.. Greeley being friend Of Fenton,
while Murphy, who got bis place as Collector
BY the ousting of Fenton man, is an adher-
ent to Mr.. Conkling. The feeling between
the two committees is exceedingly intense
and is aggravated by daily articles IN the
Tribune, showing great personal spite and
attacking Murphy with excessive bitterness.
The quarrel keeps the party IN turmoil, ana
will be carried by the two rival committees
IN the State Conyention-which will have to
decide between the contestants. What that
decision will be, We cannot predict; but 1t Is
hard TO see how the republicans can hope to
carry the State, if the State Convention
sbould sustain committee, some of whose
most active members have been denounced
by its own chairman as Tammany agents?
Mr.. Curtis, in Harper's Weekly, puts this
view of the case very strongly. lie says;
Grant that Mr.. Greeley has been more
orthodox Republican than MIR. Murphy, is that
a reason for preferring committee IN Whicn

committee confessedly free from Tammany con-
nectionsl i,
OF course there are Republicans upon the old
committee who are wholly free of any suspicion
Of COLLISION with Tammsny and it is undenlaoie
that many good republicans have made t the
csuse Of the old committee their own. Inc
Convention must, therefore, deal with the facts.
Its first duty should be to determine, not whs'
course will best serve the renomirston oil the
President, but what will most surely harmonic

lions will be ineffectual Its responsibility Will
be very great, for possibly in this Convention
the Presidential election of next year may oe
lost or won.

The n. Y Herald, having asserted that
Mayor Hall was poor man, and the Erening
Post having ssid that it had private Informs
ton Of convincing character that the Mayor
never prohted by any of the frauds on the Tres
sury, the Timss answers them as follows:
We may be permitted to state what, but for
tn is plea Of poverty, We might not have stated,
thst we have "private information of = con-
vincing character - thSt Mayor Hall has had on
deposit, for months past, in the Tenth National
Bank, (well known as the Ring " bsnk,) at
no time less than two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars, and from that up to half a million,
and that all the members of the g Ring" have
had an equal, and some of them a greater,
amount on deposit in the came bank. Now, it
may be that this money is only the surplus pro-
ceeds Of that successful prsctice " Of his pro-
fes.ion, which Hall took pains to inform the
world, in one of his afidavits, was his main
source Of livelihood; but we submit that man
who can afford to keep on deposit in bank from a
quarter to a half million Of dollars for months
together, cannot properly be called poor man.

the fact that the hotels are filed with strange
face, of an unmistakable Milesian cast, Is con-

Mr.. Horace Greeley, in the current num-
Der of the Galaxy Magazine, presents JOINT
argument for Civil Service Reform and for
the One-Term Principle as applied to Presi-
dents, Governors and other dispensers OF
patronage The article is, in a word ms
argument against the reelection Of Gen.
Grant. The present abuse Of the appoint
ing power, Mr.. Greeley thinks, cries very
loudly for civil service reform. lie doubts,
indeed, whether a ;worse state OF things
would follow the choice Of Federal function
nries by lot. CIVIL Service Reform, there
fore. must be achieved, and he Is confident
the good time Is coming when we shall real
lie it. But the One-Term Principle be de
clares must precede it. Mr.. Greeley appeals
to history and to former presidencies IN sup
port Of the one-tcrm theory, and particular
" TO the recommendation Of President Jack
son for an amendment of the Constitution
such as would render the President ineligible
after one term Of service.
lie also shows that for half century
every attempt which has been made to re-
elect a President-with the single exception
of the case of Mr.. Lineoln-has proved IN
successful. He further sdduces the facts thai
the Governor in many Of the States is inelig-
ibIe to re election, and that Sherifis and other
officers who may be tempted to use patronage
for the extension of power are similarly In
eligible in many cases, as proof that the one
term principle is growing in favor.
MIR. Greeleys article is an able and inter
esting one. as articles from his pen are apt
TO be. But the circumstances Of the case
derive it of much of its force. Mr.. Gree
lev. being an aspirant for the Presidency
and disinclined to wait four years longer toi
the ratification of his ambition, of courst
thinks that the one term theory is the tru'
one. Once seated in the presidential chair
if that were a suppOeable case, we have Nc
douh whatever that his opinion woulC
change with great rapidly lie would see
then. that national emergencies often occur
when it is in the highest degree lmpolitle t.
enforce rule of that kind. lie would se'
that the safety and prosperity Of the kepuo
lie (if it should happen in some way to out
last four years Of an administration such al
Mr.. Greeley's would be sure TO beg demand
ed his own reelection, and however wise The
one term principle might be as a general rule he
would doubtless consider it exceedingly IN
wise to rigidly foreclose all exceptions to IT.
1t will further occur, we think, to the
thoughtful reader, that the way to enforce
this principle, allowing it to be probably
good one. is, as Gen. jackson recommended
BY constitutional amendment, and not by
the action of a nominating convention. With
one term Constitutional amendment IN
force, all temptation to use the patronage
of the Office for securing president continu-
ance in power, will be removed and that

North Bennington, Sept. u, 1871.

The New York Citizen, edited by Hon
Robert d. Roosevelt, Democratic member Of
Congress, speaks out in meeting as follows
There Is but one schsuce for the democracy
one means Of escape from the hopeless position
in which we are placed v c must vindicste the
p.rty s reputation for honesty Weare drifting
We are driving headlong, towards ruin and ut
ter extinction In two months our party viii
have ceased 10 exist, unless something IS done to
avert such fate. We have lost California, where
there was every possibility Of success we have
lost Maine. where there vas little hope we
shall Lore Ohio, Of course, and Pennsylvania
and New York. L seems that We shall lose
every State in the Union-uness, perhaps, II be

our priuciples and to sustain the party but the
rest Of the Union will ere long be srrayei against
US, unless an efor; Is msde 70 get nd Of the
load of disgrace which has been brought upon
u by the notorious fvindles Of the Ring rulers
Of Tsmmsny Hall.
The situation of the Democracy could not
be better described. Mr. Roosevelt, it will
be observed. surrenders all hope not only of
Ohio and Pennsylvania. but Of New York.
He recognizes the tide as everywhere setting
irresistibly against the Democracy, and ,!with
emphasis, declares that the party is driving
beadlong towards ruin and utter extinction.
A Democrat himself, be is not likely to ex-
agcerate Its perIs. He secs no hope for the
party this year in any event. And, in his
Judgment, the only possible .chance hereafter
lies in the utter Reputation Of the Ring and
the vindication Of the party's reputation
for honesty." But the trouble is that the
party's reputation for honesty is hopelessly
lost. The Tammany chicftains have been too
long acknowledged leaders of the party. The
figures Of their llundcrings have indeed but
lately come to light; but the character OF
the men was as well known before, as since
the recent revelations Only in thorough
/ " corrunt organization could such men have
secured the positions they have held in the
democratic party. There are honest men in
the Democratic party, like Mr. Roosevelt
but they have not been able to control 1t,
and will not be. They do right to make the
best effort they can to purify their party and
clean its soiled escutcheon; but when they
find, as they must, that tn III task is hope
less one they will have to leave the rotten
and sinking ship.
