HOW AN ERROR WAS PERPE-
TRATED.

A vely important historical discover
vas made in Washington last week, which
corrects an error universally believed toI
three quarters of century, and at th
same time wipes out a stigma from a
sovereign state. Every statisticlan, his
torian, essayist, and political writer or
speaker, has held to the belief that
slavery once existed in Vermont, and ali
works on history have acknowledged the
supposed fact Goodell, Iii his history Of
slavery in the United States, one of the
most carefully prepared and trustworthy
books ever written OF the subject,
says:
In l777 the people of Vermont met in
conversation, and proclaimed Vermont an
independent state. The first article of
their bill of rights excluded slavery
Though not admitted into the Confede-
racy lowing to some claims OF New York;
till 1889, Vermont has the honor of hav
ing first provided for the abolition OF
slavery. Sixteen slaves are indeed set
down to Vermont in the census of 1890
But it now turns out that Vermont
never deserved this odium Col Har-
rington, the acting superintendent OF The
census, in poking among his figures last
week, came across the ori2 inal manuscript
census returns o. Vermont for l 80, IN
which year tue first census of the United
States was taken, and which, on being
impaired with the printed copy in the
G ,,ngressional Library, disclosed the error
| lii question. The plan of thu first census
was to give the population of The United
States by towns and counties, together
with the sex, age and color. The printed
copy of the census credits Bennington
county, Vermont, with sixteen slaves,
which are distributed among the follow
ing TOWNSHIP Arlington, l; Bennington,
9; Manchester, 8 Pownall, /; Shafts
hury, 1; Windhail, 1 +; and in each case
they are placed IN the cblumn slaves.
Thus the record was made, and thus 1t
has been continued for 80 years. The
original manuscript return, however, does
not contain single entry for the Who'll
Of Vermont in the column healed
''slaves," nor are any entered in the
column Of totals. But in the next column,
headed clear and distinct in heavy letters,
Free Black there IS the following
record: Arlington, 1 Bennington, 8
Manchester, 8 !; PownaIl, SALISBURY
, ; Windhall, THESE beng in The
county of Bennington. In making up
the population of the counties of the
state the returns still show no slaves, but
