New YORK, March 3.
The Tribune's London correspondent,
Smalley, telegraphs further particulars OF
the trumphal march of the Germans into
Paris. The precautions against popular
disturbances seem complete and almost
superfuous. Upon entering the city one
German divisions stacked their arms and
picketed their horses opposite the Palace
dc Industrie. The men threw themselves
upon the ground, and Parisians, mostly
the lower classes, gathered about them,
went up to them, examined their accoutrc-
ments and conversed with them. The
fear of pillage, which had been sedulous'
ly inculcated, the Parisians now believe
to be entirely groundless.

ing rep. Il, 1911 SHOWS an expenditure
for roads and bridges considerably ia ex.
cess of the estimates made at the last town
meeting. The increase arose from the
large amount expended on the breakwater
at East Middlebury, and for repairing
the Papermill bridge. The amount Of
orders drawn by the selectmen the past 81,
097.49. For roads and badges SO 1884, go.
Miscellaneous, 81 ,084.S9. The amount of
orders drawn by Overseer of the Poor
$2,333.41. The expenses of poor not on
town farm, have increased as compared
with the year ending Feb. II, 1870, in
the sum of S50.79. The expense of car
rying on the town farm and support of
paupers thereon has increased, as COM
pared with the preceding year, in the
sum of 1869. The amount of property
sold from the town farm exceeds the
proceeds Of the preceding year in the
sum Of $323.05. The cost of supporting
paupers at the town house has been 81
81 per week each, seventy eight cents
more each week than during the year end.
ing Feb. H. 1870. The amount of prop
erty on hand at the town farm is S107 81
less than the amount on hand last year
The net proceeds Of the liquor sales are
9RI, 73.54-S Io4 40 more than last year.
There..are outstanding orders against the
town, unpaid, amounting to $3,607.2S
Estimate Of expenses for the ensuing year
$7,254.0C. Funds on hand to meet the
above $4,97527, leaving balance to be
provided for by tax, of IS Ss6,O1. 1t is
recommended to raise tax of sixty five
cents on a dollar of the grand list to
meet these expenses.
Among the curious things we observe
in this report is the inadequate payment
Of the selectmen for services actually
rendered.
Their work is put in at one dollar per
day and board themselves, which is less
by half than any unskilled aborer obtains.
1t should not be large pay, but should be
enough to pay for their board, at least.
The town meeting occurs to day and it
being the only election this year, it is to
be supposed that petty politicians will
make the most of it. We are not in
formed what states have been made up.
One Of the propositions for discontinu-
ing roads and building new ones, seems to
be Of doubtful propriety, unless it can be
shown that the roads as now existing are
an unnecessary expense to the town. We
refer to the roads near Mrs. Seeley's.
There may be reasons, however, that do
not occur to us, which may render the
change desirable.

The Nev York Times says the Demo-
cratic journals make the opening OF a
new loan pretext for reviving the de-
inanu fur Taxation of c evnrrmnnt bonds
One of the State Senators has introduced
the proposition at Albany, and the ad-
herents of Mr.. Pendleton in all parts Of
country echo it with bitterness that re-
calls the time when Reputation was
regular Democratic issue. There is no
excuse for the cry. AS a matter of pol
icy, the Government could not afford to
expose its credit to attack under the guise
of local taxation. But the pledge given
to the bondholders renders argument in
admissible. By the terms Of the law
authorizing their issue, the bonds are ex-
empt from taxation-save as interest de-
rived from them may enter into taxable
income. The contract entered into, as
between the Government and its creditors,
during the war, was explicit upon this
point and the Funding scheme which
Mr.. Boutwell, is attempting to float, de-
rives one chance Of success from continu.
ance Of the exemption. Nothing but
mischief can arise from demand which
the law has conclusively provided against.
