have many times had occasiont to express
the condemnation which sensible men
feel Of the combination to control the
prices of labor. When they are peace
full they are only injudicious, wastefui
loss of time and a plain violation OF
those natural laws which are certain 10
vindicate themselves, and which no man
can disregard with impunity When they
are violent, and the men who enter into
the combinations attempt toforce others
into them, when they attempt to pre-
vent men from selling their own labor
at their own discretion, they commit
high crime against society.

Those words | remember TO have seen
in the old school books. They are not
in so many words a Scriptural injunc-
ton, but they are deduction from the
plain principles of Holy Writ, and the
world would be the better if, in their
spirit, they were more generally OBJ
served than they are.
It is not enough that man simply
obeys the laws made by man, for if he
should repudiate the higher law alto
gether, society could not exist. Human
laws which include the common law and
legislative enactments, are but a super
structure which has for its foundation
the higher law, made by the Creator.
All of mans duties in this life are made
incumbent upon him by the higher law
When it is enacted that he shall do thus
and so, the law of God imposes the obi
CATION to obey, if obligation there is.
We compare the government and laws
of one nation with another. We say
that the United States have "the best
government the sun ever shone upon. ="
This is doubtless so, and why 1t is
because it's principles more nearly con-
form to the laws of God-are more in
accordance with the principles of equal
ity, right and justice.
Human laws are necessarily silent up
on large portion of the duties imposed
upon man by the Divine law; but those
duties are none the less obligatory for
the reason that they cannot be enforced
by legislative enactments. The laws of
our State provide for the support of the
poor. They impose tax for that pur-
pose, and each man is assessed in proper
ton to his means, Cor rather to his list),
TO nav this tax. To that extent the laws
of man may enforce duty, but there
are thousand opportunities, which pre-
sent themselves in thousand different
WAYS, when it becomes our duty by the
law of God, to aid the poor, when no
laws that man can make would compel
us so to do; but, the duty is none the
less obligatory.
1t has Leen said, that ''kindness is the
strongest power in the world lha'
form of expression, lam aware, is liable
to objection If it means that our strong
est power over each other is gained by
acts of kindness, it may be true. Kind
ness is virtue that we should all possess
but no human laws can be made thai
will enforce the exercise of it. Laws
may be made to prevent, or rather t
punish, overt acts of cruelty, but MAJ
may live his life long and not perform
single kind or generous act, or cherish
sympathetic emotion, and yet be answer
able only to his God no human trlbuna
can call him to an account.
But few of us seem to realize how

I'm portant Decision.

The opinion of Judge Spence, the As
sistant Attorney General for the Post
Office department, relative to the ruling
of the Postmaster General, that "drop-
letter cannot be forwarded at the request
of the party addressed, unless the post
master is furnished with postage to pre-
pay the same, at the rate of three cents
for each one-half ounce or fraction
thereof, " sustains the ruling.
The following is synopsis of the de-
cision
. l. Because the law defines a drop-let-
ter to be letter not to be transmitted
through the mails, but for delivery only,
they being expressly excepted from the
postage rate of three cents which is
charged on other letters.
2. When a drop-letter, properly
stamped, has been deposited in a post
office for delivery, and the person to
whom it is addressed requests that it
should be forwarded to another office,
under that request the character of a
drop-letter is entirely lost to it, and it
assumes the character of letter depOs-
tied for mailing without any stamp af-
fixed for such purpose.
3. The stamp affixed when deposited
was so affixed in order that it should be
delivered only. and was not intended to
be, nor was available for any other pur-
pose. ..".
A. The law which requires that pre-
paid and free letters may be forwarded
from one post office to another at the re-
quest of the party addressed without adj
ditional charge for postage" applies only
to letters which have been fully prepaid
at the rate which insured their being
transmitted in the mails.
). That all letters deposited in a post
Office, whether to be transmitted through
the mails or for delivery only, must be
prepaid by stamps according to the pur-
pose for which they are deposited before
they can be 0ticjalIy recejoed, that is, re-
ceived so as to impose an obligation on
the department to transmit them through
the mails, or deliver them from the office
where deposited, or by its carriers to
their address. The prepayment OF
postage entities the person depositing i
letter to have it so officially received.
6. When a letter properly stamped Is
( 0ffciQIlg recetged the stamp has perform
ed its office and is Cancelled, and when
cancelled is no further available for any
purpose. ..... ........,
:. That to put any other construc-
/ ton on the law, letter prepaid with a
onc-cent stamp deposited in an office
where one cent is the drop rate, may,
| at the request of the party addressed, be
/ forwarded across the continent, an OBJ
! iect clearly not contemplated.

Mir. Geo. J. HAYES, W. s., issues an
address to the lodges included in the
above organization, calling attention to
the next meeting of the Union, to be
held at Castleton, Tuesday, August 10,
1873. He hopes that the delegates
elected by the several lodges will consider
it an important duty to be present; or,
ii unable to attend, to see that their
places are supplied by some member of
their lodge. As the exercises last but
one day, it seems impossible that there
cannot be found at least one member in
every lodge who is willing to make so
trif1ing a sacrifice for the sake of advanc-
ing the interests of the order. All men,
bers i'll good standing, whether delegates
or not, are cordially invited by him to
attend and unite in the exercises. The
order of business, as arranged at the last
meeting, will be as follows:
l. Introductory exercises.
2. Reading minutes of last meeting.
3. Written reports of lodges.
4. Verbal reports from delegates.
5. New and unfinished business.
6. Essay by Miss Mary e. Sinclair, of
Poultney.
7, Discussion of the following resolu-
ton:
Resoz0ed, That the cause of temper
ance can be most effectually promoted
by temperance organizations = unity
being strengthened that we hold the
temperance public in duty bound to join
us, if they can consistently; or, at least,
put no impeachment in our way.
s. Good of the order.

FOEST BARRISON.

Yesterday morning a Vermont daily
published sketch of General George j.
Stannard, which, after giving the dates
of his commissions as Lieutenant-COlonel
Of the Second and Colonel of the Ninth
Vermont Volunteers, records his military
service as follows:
AT the head of this regiment he pass
ed through all its vicissitudes until March
II, 1868, when he was again promoted,
this time to the rank of gadler-Gene-
raj of United States Volunteers, and
was placed in command OF the lst Yer
mont brigade In the memorable battle
of Gettysburg, in July '63, while III the
midst Of that desperate engagement, the
General received a severe wound IN the
right arm, causing the amputation of the
same above the elbow. For his brave
and heroic conduct upon the battle held
he was promoted to the rank of Major
General, and has to-day the honor OF
being the ranking officer of the State"
Now if there is any one thing that the
editor of that paper is celebrated for, it
is in his accuracy as a historian, and we
We're not so much surprised at his omis-
sion to state anything of the long service
Of General Stannard as a general officer
except his participation in the battle OF
Gettysburg, as by the fact that the en-
tire record given is false IN fact. Gen.
Stannard, about April list, 1868, took
command of the Second Vermont Bri-
gade, and never was in command of the
First Vermont Brigade. At the battle
Of Gettysburg, Gen. STANDARDS brigade
did valiant service, in which it received
the splendid acknowledgement of Gen.
Doubleday, in his report to the Assistant
Adiutant General of the Army of the
Potomac. which we have heretofore
quoted, but the good right arm which
our gallant General Stannard gave to
his country, came through that sanguin-
airy conflict unscathed, and did valiant
service on many a well fought field
afterwards. The General was wounded
at Gettysburg, but not in the arm. Gen.
Doubleday, in his report, says "To
this splendid record l have only to add
what Gen. Stannard, in his modesty, has
forgotten to state, that he, himself, was
badly wounded in the leg, but refused
TO leave the field until the contest was
over"

Gen. HavyIey and the Reporters.


The Springfield Republican had a re-
porter at the reunion last week that
mixed things somewhat, and his paper
took occasion to comment on the 'silly
and mischievous talk" of General Haw-
ley and others at the meeting. This has
called out spicy letter from the Gen.
eral, which we publish below. There
is another paper published nearer home
than Springfield, that mixed the reports
worse even than the Republican did,
and now has the effrontery to boast that
they got out their report twenty-four
hours ahead of any other New England
newspaper. Well we should think they
might have got out such report as they
had as well three weeks before the re-
union as afterwards, except the names
of the speakers. We hear one of the
speakers was so much disappointed that
he has written ont his speech, to have it
appgar that he is not so ''sillv' as the
reporter would make him out to be, but
the other speakers generally take the
philosophical view of the matter, that
the circulation of the lively paper is so
small that the 'silly and mischievous'
report will not hurt their reputation
with many people. .

preached out by the parson, he said he
was sick, he said he had the collie.
Well when we saw that man get off
the train, the first day of the late reunion,
come down here to parade with the boys,
out of pure patriotism, we mentally ex-
claimed, o tempOrG o naores and felt
just like stepping up and asking him,
amt you afraid you'll have the collie?
Now your readers may think the
preaching of that Sabbath day was not
very pious. Well it was patriotic-it
