loan the city's credit for II ,;}5O.OOO to-

was-yeas 1874, nays 1893. The oppo-
ncnts included those against the prin

confident of success.

Re-Districting the State.

We understand thai there Is consld
cradle talk in various quarters. of re
districting the Congressional Districts
of this State 10y the Legislature next fall.
Cur present districts are certainly umc-
quail. In lsGO the population of the
several districts was Is follows:
FIRST District Addison county. RI
UIO: Bennington county. l9,l:hi: Rut
land county, 35,9l6; aShington
county - .6I2 Making total of 10. -
OO4.
Second District Caledonia county

sor county, 2G.9S2; Windham county .
~ .l9'. Total, lll,:s'-.
Ihird district Chitt,nden county
-. III Essex county, $3.50: Franklin
county. - ,2:}l Grand Isle county. l..
276: Lamoille county, l2,3Il; Orleans
county, s,9Sl. Total, M,15G.
Total population of all the districts.
3I5.n'-.
The first district contained lO.2l-.
and the second II. 5-1 more population
than the third district.
The population of the same districts
by the census of lS,D Was: FIRST Dis
trict, IL $50; second District, lt6,eE
third District. llI,l47 ; total :Em.G34 ;
the greatest. difference being between
the first and the second, the former
having 5.US:} more than the latter.
In addition to this disparity of popn-
lation, our present districts are incon-
venient in regard to assembling i'll some
common centre. The most equal plan
of re- districting which We have heard Is
the following, and the one which VT
presume will be adopted i'll case any
change is made.
FIRST District - Addison, Rutland
Bennington and Wndham counties
| | ,4&.
Second District - Windsor, Orange
Caledonia, Orleans and Essex counties

The new paper at Woodstock,-the
Post.-is a lively concern. 1t entered
into the canvass for governor with
good deal of spirit If Governor Stew
art is not "a liar, villain and Il horse
thief" as II. G. would put it, the Post
has shamefully libelled him. We infer
the st. Adams Messenger had this paper
in view when it said: "Woodstock is
so fortunate as to have rich editor.
OF course he must be rich else he could
not send thousands of copies of his pa

all parts of the State, postage paid. 1t

nication (of course it is anonymously AS
serting that one Albert Clarke agreed at
the time of Gov. Washburn's funeral to

that two weeks later he saw Mr.. Bill

gentleman and made him Il similar
promise; that last winter he was ram

1t makes no odds that all this is false

and it makes no odds that said Clarke

put in issue. 1t seems to serve the pur-
pose of the California tactics introduced

lie about his friends"
The Manchester ,JOurndl considers ut

oppressed. 1t disposes of the several

sample: lit is true that 10y the war,
Il war which they brought upon them
selves the people of the South lost
their slaves and many of them Il large
amount of other property. ID" they
expect to have the government make
good these losses Not if Grant re-
mains president. surely, and they can
not claim it as Il matter of right let who
will he president, hut some Of them ar,
bold enough to say that if they erel
can get into power "r get others III pow
er whom they can control they VII
seek remuneration for losses. And
we have no doubt they would, and We
have further reason to think they vii
never consent to join hands across the

Before the war, though in II minority
they generally managed To hold tn,
balance of power, and this thrN meal
to do again. Because they cannot now
have this control is one act of "pprrs

of uncommon abilities even brilliant
