As the question has been raised as to
what town in the United States may claim
to be the "banner town in the late Presi-
dental election, it may be well to repeat
the information that there were several
towns in Vermont that gave only one vote
against the Republican nominees, while
six were unanimous for Grant and Wilson.
These unanimous towns were Panton,
Mendon, Coventry, Lexington, Morgan
and Weslmore.

The Liquor LAw.--Two acts, amenda-
tory of, and in addition to the "Prohibitory
Law" so called, were passed by the Legis-
lature. The more important of these will
add considerably to the stringency of the
law. Heretofore it has been not uncom-
mon for person to be prosecuted over and
over again, receiving in each case only con-
viction and punishment for a first offence"
Hereafter it will be the duty of the prose-
cutting officers to mention and make proof
of any previous convictions, and of the
courts to intict in all cases of repeated con-
yictions the increased penalties provided
for second and third offences. Further
more liquor cases will hereafter take pre-
cedence OF other trials in court, excepting
only criminal eases in which some respon-
dent is under arrest, and no continuance
or notte prOSeQui will be allowed, except
when in the opinion of the court or prose-
cutting officer, the ends of justice require it,
1t Is plain that if this statute is "lived up
to-" the ways of transgressors against the
liquor law, will be made considerably har-
der than they have been.
The other act permits no witness on u H.
quor case, except the man who is on trial
to be excused from testifying on the ground
that his testimony may crimnate himself.
These acts are significant of the temper
of the Legislature and of the determination
of the State to take no steps towards license
or relaxation, in the matter of the sale of
liquor. The action on the State constabu-
larry bill was quite az significant. Two
years ago the bill providing for State po-
lice found few advocates, and received but
So votes in the House. This year the same
bill passed the House by u strong majority,
1872 to co, and probably only failed in the
Senate, because it reached that body too
late in the session to allow OF the necessary
discussion and consideration. burlington

4 BIoGRhPHY FOR BOYS TO REMEMBER.
Samuel J. Whiten died at Perkinsville,
VT, on Sunday week. When boy in 49,
81, he went TO North Adams and worke ed in
a cotton mill, supporting his poor mother.
He was induced TO attend Sunday school
by the promise of pair Of shoes from DIR.
Hawkes. and afterwards became overseer
OF the mill where he worked. His ambi-
ton, pluck and perseverance, made him a
great man at Colraine, Mass. Before he
died he gave 5000 10 the Congregational
church, as Il memorial for his deceased
mother $1,000 for bell for the church,
and 81, 900 for the organ. He also sent to
DIR Hawkes., in return for the pair of shoes
presented thirty years before, a box, which
upon opening, was found to contain an
elegant black walnut case, with three
drawers, in which were forty-seven
pieces of cutlery, with ivory handles and
silver-p plated blades, his name stamped on
every blade, and a gold hawk set in every
handle. Accompanying this elegant pres
ent was slip of paper containing these
words: To pay for The Juckied shoes.

THE TREASURER AND TIE PUBLIC
tEcHooLs.-The PhCgnir takes issue with
the statement of recent letter of Treas
urer Parker that the present embarrass-
ment of the State Treasury. which has
led to the suspension of the, public
schools, arises from the fact, that one.
third of the State taxes, for the last four
years, have been uncollected. These
amount to some 10000 and it is alb
esurd to suppose that some S2,O00,0OO
remain uncollected. The amounts due
have been grossly exaggerated.
The Phgnir furnishes the true expla-
nation:
'.The money that should have gone to
educate the poor children of the State,
and to other worthy purposes, has been
used to build princely mansions, buy
/, costly eauipages, fine teams, flash jewelry
and furnish the means of protligate
living to men who, before they came
into this State, or before they got into
office. had not the means scarcely to
provide themselves with bread. One
ian walk around Columbia alone and
see where hundreds of thousands of dol
lars of school money has been unlawfully
appropriated"

stock in the interior towns from 1871
to the present year."
The cost per bale Of making the cot
ton crop this year, will it is thought,
be about the sam as that of 1871; the
increased cost Of fertilizers being
countcrbalanced by the cheapncss of
bacon and molasses; the cost and eff
cheney of labor remaining the same
except in the counties which have
bee put under martial law.
sThe prospect of the grain crop
throughout tho State are not hatter.
irg. In very few counties, as i'll
Chester, Lancaster, Orangeburg and
Richland, rather more grain has been
planted than last year. but in most OF
the counties the quantity is about the
same. Corn appears to be doing vel
but wheat and the smaller grains
have been generally impaired by the
dry season, and the oat crop i'll many
localities is reported as q total failure
Abou' ! alf the counties in the State
will make enough grain to supply the
needs of their own localities until the
next crop comes in. but the othel
counties will, as usual, be purchasers.

THE GROWING CROPS.

The Charleston Neacs as the result
Of q correspondence with large
lumber of planters throughout the
State, deduccs the following conclu-
sion as to the growing crops;
First, as to the area Of ground oc-
cupied in the cultivation Of cotton
this year in comparison with 1871, it
is certain that there is an increased
acreage devoted to cotton amounting
in the whole State to certainly 10 per
cent. In many counties tho increase
is much more than this, as in Rich
land which reports an increase of 30
per cent, Anderson and Oran .cbnrg
% per cent. each. who in Fairfield,
Clarendon, Darlington, Lancaster,
Lexington, Marlboro and Sumter an
increase of from 10 to 90 per cent. is
noticed but in no county, with the
single exception perhaps Of Union, is
there less area than in 1871"
Owing, however, to the unfavorable
Spring, the long drought in April and
the first half Of May. there is very
general complaint of late and de-
frctive stand, and the prospect Of q
large yield arc not proportionato to
the increased area planted.
The quantity of commercial fertili-
zers used this year have been very
largely in excess Of the consumption
of 1871, and almost equal to the guam.
tity used in 1870. This increase is
renortcd IN some counties as enor-
nous. In Lancaster County it is said
that three times the quantity Of fcr,i-
lizers used in 1871 has been used this
year. In Anderson, BarnweIl, Clar-
endon, Darlington and Orangeburs,
twice as much. and in Abbeville,
Chester, Fairfield, Marion, Marlboro,
Sumter and York the increase is re-
ported at from Toto rs per cent In
Laurcns and Oconce, in Laurens and
Oconec, it is said that about the same
quantity has been used that was used
last year, but in no county is o de-
creased consumption noticed. The
proba! ility is that throughout the
State the consumption has been about
double that of 1871. and very nearly
eoucai to that of 1870. This proba-
bility is strengthened by the report
of the number of tons Of fertilizer $
shipped to the interior of South Car
olina and the adjoining States, by the
various lines Of transportation from
this city, recently published in the
Nprs. Those shipments were, in
1870, 44.4s5 tons, in 1871, BOAST tons,
and in 1872, 81, 1873 TONS and it must
be borne in mind. also, that many
thousand tons were carried over IN =,
