The ADMINISTRATION AND BUTLER.-The
well informed Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette says that while the Presi-
dent has spoken of the Republican campaign in
Massachusetts as purely local matter requiring
no interference from Washington, ye, the feeling
in that city for the last week has been rapidly
settling into conviction that General Buffers
course is calculated to benefit the Democracy Of
Massachusetts, much more than the Republicans.
The correspondent adds: And so i: has come
to pass that many good friends Of the admins
tration are greatly perplexed at the performances
of Butler and the disOrgsnizstion he is working.
If General Grant had him well bottled up again,
there would be no order given for uncOrking

bunder in the census Office in making up '"e
summary reports. as afterwards puolisheo- l
have carefully examined the original ie'urN' "
the census for 1871 Of Bennington county,
which is certified BY Daniel Robinson, ASSISTANT
n the Marshal with whose hand writing l sm
familiar. and there is 10 doubt Whatever 0i I've
penuiueness this it must he suthcient iur'nei
70 tate ,b.t the number Of inhabitants in each
q .,;v,ss, towns in the county agrees e1sct-
! 81. -. -snortsd number found in Williams's
History Of 1874.
TIL. re,nrn Of the marshal is wholly in manu-
-. ,1sinlv written on sheets Of foolscap,
r,,tes together, forming roll over seven yards
in l.ngth. The names Of the heads Of families
are given, and against them the number of per-
sons in six separate columns. The first col
umn il for Free white males of l6 years and
inward - the second for 50 Free white males
under sixteen years." and the third for " Free
white females of sll ages. The other three
Columns are headed " FREE BLACKS" the first
Of which il for those " over sixteen of males,
the second for those under sixteen" and the
third for " females Of these free blacks there
are found in the whole county-l7 males over
sixteen, males under sixteen, and 10 females
making SO in the whole. These three last col
umns are plainly headed Free Blacks" and
there is no column for slaves and none are re
turned
Its beyond question that the 16 slaves thus
reported from the census Office of 1871 were re-
turned by the marshal as free blacks, and were
carelessly inserted in the column Of slaves in
preparing the general report. They were doubt
less made up Of the Is females in the lsst COL
unon. and one male under sixteen, at the close
Of the return from Winhall. which was marked
90 near the last column that it was hastily taken
as belonging to it
For the discovery and exposure Of this error
in the census Of 1871 we are indebted to Col G..
D. Harrington Of the Census Bureau. He Is 8
native Of this State, former resident Of Benin
in rion county, ami well deserves the thanks Of
it Inhabitants.
In the communication TO the Tribune the
name Of Hemsn Allen was given as the marshal
who made the return OF 1871, which was cal
culsted 10 cast dstrust upon H. as he was nor
marshal till 1918. This Was an error, IS the
name Of Mr.. Allen nowhere appears IN connec-
ton with the return. The msrshsl in lI9l was
Lewis N. R. Morris, TO whom David Robnton, who
witnessed the return, was Sc assistant.

THE Moyr CESIs Tunnel, which connects the
railway systems Of France and Italy was for
mauy opened on Sunday. We ooniense from
the Tribune an interesting history Of the work.
It vas begun in 1857, though the work was not
puzzled energeticllly till some four OF FIVE years
lister, whea France ezprcsseia willingness to bear
part Of the expense. Lsaving point above the
village OF Fourneauz, on the Fren'h sils, 8 ,9)4
feet above the sea level, the tunnel strikes
through the mountain at 8 point between the
Col de Frejas and tie Col De Is RoEe. The
highest point attained By the tunneSis ASH
feet above the sea. and s. $50 feet below the crest
Of the mountain overhead From this poin, the
tunnel slopes down TO the other opening on the

whence the railroad goes down to Quiz on the
Dona Riparis, following the course Of that
valley BY SAlbertraaI AID Ezilles. I'LL it de-
b9uehes into the valley Of Rlusa at Bussolno
The total cost Ct the work is $4,000, 900. Of
which sum the Victor Emanuel, or railway Of
North Italy. pays si.0O0.00o The French
government agreed 20 pay Italy S3,soo,000 if
the work was accomplished within 20 years,
reckoning from 1852 But If the work vas I'm
isheI st an earlier date, France sgreei to pay
100000 more for every year gsiuei upon the
stipulated time The work is now fuishel II

the money due for The work as it proceeded
from year to year. Had the construction cCa-
tiuuei hey0ui the stipulated term Of % years,
Italy would have lost : 100. 900 for every year
in excess Of that period. The total length Of
the tunnel is about eight miles, or nearly a third
more than our Ho0sac tunnel, and the engineer
ing difficulties were much the same as those
which have been encountered 81 our great bore
Had il not been for the discovery thst compressed
air could be used as = motive power, the Mont
Gents tunnel would not have been complete. nor
would there hsye been the certain prospec;
which now exists. that the H0osac tunnel will
pull through in very few years more. The
Mont Gems tunnel cannot be used for several
months YET, owing TO the want Of railroad com

a distance Of about ten miles The railroad now
constructing will be complete in November, and
1t will then be possible TO make an unbroken
railroad journey between Paris snd Turin. The
French have regarded the opening Of the Mont
Gents tunnel as calculated to impair the COM
merce Of Marsellies This is the reason why
the French railroad companies have lost their
early enthusiasm in regard to the tunnel, and
allowed the Ten miles Of railroad 10 remain in

In empsnelling the Grand Jury at Salt Lake
City, Judge Mexican charged them that they
should be governed. in the discharge Of their
duty, by the same principles of law which gov
ern juries in other States, and that if anything
peculiar exists in the situation in Utah, it is the
peculiar conduct Of some Of the men there, and
not any peculiar principles policy that is to be
enforced by them. The people Of Utah, he said,
are smenable to the laws Of the United States,
like the rest Of the country. Those laws must
be enforced, and the men who trample upon
them must answer at the bar Of justice. The
Mormon journals are very bitter against Judge
Mexican in consequence. There are no polyga-
mists on the jury, and it is reasonable to sup
pose that some Of the Mormons who have car
ried matters with high hand recently, will be
presented for trial.
