The principal object of punishment is
the prevention of crime, and when 1t is
carried beyond that object so as to be in
tiictcd to revenge wrongs, either real or
imaginary, it looses its power az q re-
formatory measure, and becomes little
less than an instrument of injustice and
tyranY. In view of this great object for
which criminal laws are enacted, and TO
prevent their becoming perverted from
that object, the pardoning power IS instl-
tuted by fundamental law, and lodged
usually in the principal executivee Of
icer of government, and by the jul
dicious exercise of this power, the law is
enabled to keep its penalties from being
oppressive, and from defeating the ends
of Justice. When the Southern States
were carried away by excitement, conse-
quent upon the breaking up of all their
theories Of society and government, and
the discontinued were organizing power
full secret societies to resist the laws and
to iniure, destroy or drive from the
country the freedmen, and Cypress and
disfranchise all who differed politically
from the majority, it was necessary to
denounce heavy penalties against these
unlawful and destructive measures, and
the enforcement act with its severe PEN
alties was passed by Congress, and am
pie means adopted for its execution.
While this law was in force and the
country was agitated by a national POI
litcial canvass, the Ku-Klux outrages be-
came SO unbearable that the government
had to Use the military power for their
suppression. Some of the instruments
Of these outbreaks were arrested, tried,
convicted andthe severe penalties OF the
enforcement act" denounced against
them. The condition of the South made
the rigid enforcement of these penalties
necessary, and they were inflicted with
a stern and rigid uniformity, but now,
although the law remains the same, there
IS no necessity for its continuance. The
crimes of the Ku-Klux being the out
bursts and excuses of a disruptured socie-
ty agitated and excited by circumstances,
were checked and subdued by the strong
arm of the government, until the re-
turning reason of the people restored the
social peace and business prosperity,
and there is no longer any necessity to
punish the Ku-Klux crimes to prevent
their repetition.
Under these altered circumstances
there arises a case for the proper exercise
of the pardoning power. 1t is no adj.
mission that the laws were wrong, ii
does not impeach the wisdom and Justice
OF the course formerly pursued, to adopt

CONFIDENCE OPERATIONS "A gang of
men are at work raising the hull of the
oldship Confidence, the British flag ship at
the battle of Plattsburgh. Many curiosi-
ties are found in it; for instance, a
twenty-four pound ball, deeply inn
bedded in the supporting tim
bers, and not few copper spikes, The
Yanks handled her without gloves at
Pittsburgh, and now they place can
of powder under her stern, and give her
a shock that makes the splinters fly, and
the boys like the fun as well as they did
sixty years ago.

E The small fruits are very abundant
here this. season. Almost every day we
see pailsful and pansful of red raspber-
ries brought in at the Springs, for the
hotels, and there are bushels of cherries
gathered for canning and drying.
Mr.. Eddy, who has just returned
from Nebraska, says that as he passed
through Central and Western New
York (stopping some two weeks he saw
the farmers there NOW over four or five
acres of ground for single load of hay.
Their corn was not more than foot
high, and wheat, apparently, not worth
harvesting. From the effects OF the
drouth, farther west, through Ohio, ILL
nois, Iowa and Nebraska, the crops were
looking finely. $780,. -

Again death has claimed one of our
young men as his victim, and thrown
large circle of friends into mourning.
Mr.. Fred. Thomas, son of Mr.. Julius Ell.
Thomas, died on Tuesday morning, the

with hemorrhage of the bowels, aged
90 years His sickness was short but
severe, and threatened to be fatal almost
from the first. Mr.. Thomas was one of
those young men that society can never
suffer to depart without letting fall the
tear. Thoughtful and correct in his
moral character, and remarkably free
from the corrupt habits which fasten
upon too many of our young men. he
had won the respect and esteem of all
who knew him. The large concourse
of people that gathered on Wednesday at
his funeral testifies more effectively than
words 10 the esteem IN which he was
held. The family shares the sympa-
thies of the whole community in this
hour of their bereavement Com.
LUDLOW.
One of our merchants having re-
posed confidence in a Frenchman from
Mt. Holly to the amount of two dollars
and fifty cents, and found it betrayed,
receiving instead of his due a large
quantity of mongrel slang of decidedly
uncomplimentary character, had re-
course Friday to the novel proceeding
of attaching the Frenchman's dog,
being the only attachable property of
which he was possessed. The proceed
ing caused considerable gr0eo1ing in the
enemy's camp, but resulted in a receipts
for two dollars and fifty cents and costs
next morning, and the release of the
canine, who had spent the night in
durance vile. 'EH."

There are no other metallic or mineral

RespectfullY.
State Assaver. Massachusetts,

Respectfully,
S. DANA HAYES,
State Assayer, Massachusetts.
These ore beds are supposed to be in
eXhaustable, and are held under long
leases for mining purposes, by John B.
Reynolds, of Rutland, and Franklin
Post of Wallingford, who are prepared
to work them vigorously, as soon as they
can obtain asuitable highway over which
to get the products CT their mines to fur
naces and to railroads. In our issue of
July first, we published an article upon
the subject of ''The Iron Interests in
Vermont in which the writer showed
the great necessity of encouraging and
working the iron mines of the State,
both for the purpose of increasing her
wealth and material prosperity, and, al
so on account of its tendency to bring
into our midst large number of indus
! trious inhabitants, to raise the ore from
its home in the bowels of the earth, and
| manufacture it into the most useful ar
ticles of commerce.
The assay of Prof. Hayes shows these
mines to possess a value, possessed by no
other mines in this vicinity, as the iron is
| needed to add softness and malleability to
| the other harder ores of the State. The
gentlemen who control these mines are
prepared to erect a furnace at Walling-
ford and to commence operations at once
so soon as a highway is laid from
! Tinmouth to the site of their furnace
! just west of the village of WallingfOrd.
This road, we understand, is surveyed,
and is either laid or is in the hands of a
committee appointed for that purpose.
! The towns of Tinmouth and Walling-
ford can well congratulate themselves
upon this enterprise, as it will not only
add materially to their wealth and in
crease their population, but by reason
! of the enlarged trade of the two towns,
and the beautiful, easy grade they win
obtain upon the new road, it will cement
their interests and make friends of near
| communities that have heretofore been
nearly strangers. The people of Wal
Hngford can we'll afford to build and
maintain this north road, as it is called,
on account of this addition to their ma
terial prosperity, as without it the enter
prise must fail, and the active gentlemen
who now control the leases must surren-
der or destroy them, as no one can carry
on this business by the use of any other
ronte over the mountain between the
mines and the valley of Otter Creek and
the railroad. ..-.

The Transatlantic Balloons Car
and its Contents.

The car of the balloon, ''The Daily
Graphic, " as designed by Profs. Wise
and Donaldson, is now being carefully
constructed under the direct supervision
of the latter, and when completed will
be marvel of hghtness, strength and
convenience. 1t Will necessarily be a
combination of store-house, dormitory,
workshop and observatory. 1t will be
supported at one point only-its apex
and besides its own weight and that of
the passengers and ballast, will have to
bear the strain of the life-boat below.
1t NAV be described in brief as to con-
sist. in outline, of twelve stout ropes
looped, with their twenty-four ends tied
in the supporting ring above. These
loops win be distended into bell-like
shape by three great hoops of stout ash,
the lower of which, eight feet in di-
ameter, will support flooring strong
enough to hold most of the ballast. ~
This flooring viii be laid of wolayers
of narrow ash boards, the direction of
one LAYER being at right angles to that of
the other This arrangement is designed
to aid in resisting the pressure on the
hoops from the ropes, which will pass
around under the bottom of the car.
Four and a half feet above this floor is
another, resting on hoop ten feet in
. diameter. This will consist of one layer
of light pine boards, to be removed and
| thrown out if necessary, but which, new
ertheless, will be the .''main floor" of the
airy tenement. Between these two
| floors. and extending about four feet
above the upper one, the siding will con-
sist of stout rope network, with meshes
/ of about four inches. Outside of this;
and between it and the ropes, there VIII
be a casing of stout canvass or duck, ex-
tending, however, only to the upper
floor. About ten feet above tins hooi
will be placed the third distending hoop,
] six feet in diameter, above which the
| main ropes will taper directly to The
i ring. -.
car will be covered with duck, the lowel
part of which win be cut and arrange
i to be rolled up in separate pieces. lik'

ENTER MErHUsELAH A Troy man

lah. He has already occupied six years
in writing up the old gentlemans boy

his early life. Twelve years more may

would like to sit down and read a
thousand years of mans life who lived
in the days when there were no rail
roads, telrgraphs or newspapers?
We sincerely hope the funeral of this
Troy individual will not take place be
fore he has finished Methuselah's biogra-
ply, as this book will be valuable work
for our Rutland Free Library, whenever
some of our wealthy and munifcent
