THE PUBLIC GOOD.

There is clause in the constitution of
most every State in the Union declaring
that private property ought to be sub
servient to public uses when necessity
requires it, upon making compensation
to the owner for an appraised yalge of
the property taken for the use of the
public and these constitutional licenses
to condemn the property of the indiyid-
ual, for the benefit of the public, have
been made a pretext from the earliest
times for carrying out all kinds of Wis
ionary schemes, and for making inroads
upon the lands of the citizen for the
promotion of business enterprises. This
right of emient domain in the State is
tie foundation of our own State laws,
that authorize the laying out and build
ing OF highways and railroads, against
the FISHES of land owners, and the To-
cation of school houses, cemeteries, and
other public. works, and is necessary for
the protection of public rights from the
grasping avarice and obstinate mulish-
ness of selfish owners.
The great question that has arisen, has
been to determine what is public use.
In this State and others, the Legislature
has undertaken to decide, and in some in
stances has provided for Commissioners
to investigate and report whether use is
public, and has authorized the taking of
private property for such uses as the Lee
gislature or the Commissioner should
adjudge to be public benefit, but the
courts have carried steady hand in the
matter, and have never allowed the con-
stitutional guarantee to every person to
acquire, possess and protect property, to
be overridden by any Legislative infring-
ment. The Legislature is limited in it's
power, and wherever use for which
private property is desired is public
one, the law-making power is the sole
judge ofthe propriety or the necessity for
taking it but the Legislature has no
power to determine that use is a
public use so as to conclude that ques-
ton.
There is no doubt but what any bust
ness which tends to promote the pros
perity of community, or to render the
business of the public more convenient,
is public benefit; but it is not such
public use as will justify the exercise of
the sovereign right of eminent domain.

munity; yet as they are conducteo III
this State, with statute requirement
that they shall do their work well, and
| for a fixed toll, they are purely private
enterprise that the owner carries on for
his own profit, and he may discontinue
the business when he pleases, and only
run it as he shall find it profitable. 50
with every branch of individual indust-
ry or manufacture, everything that is
kept within individual control is not
such a public use as will justify the TAX
ing of public property for its promo
ton.
For this reason several acts OF the leg
islature enacted to promote manufactur-
ing, as the fiowage acts, which author
lied mill owners, by proper proceedings
in the courts, to raise dams and flow
back water on to the lands above them,
by paying the appraised damages when
ever board of commissioners, appoint
ed by law, should decide such flowage to
be a public benefit, have been declared
unconstitutional and it is now under
stood that the right of eminent domain
cannot be exercised in behalf of private
parties or corporations, unless the State,
in permitting it, reserves to itself a right
to supervise and control the use by such
regulations as shall ensure to the public
the benefits promised thereby, and as
shall preclude the purpose which the
public had in view in authorizing the
appropriation, being defeated by par
tiality or unreasonably selfish action on
the part of those who, on the ground of
public convenience and welfare, have
been suffered to make the appropriation.
IT is very pleasant to be hero, and
have all kind of Establishments showered
upon one by bright eyes and happy faces.
Just think of what a pleasant time the
brave general officers must have had at
Toledo recently. A local paper makes
this record of kisses The occasion was
the meeting of army officers in that
place; and President Grant and Gener-
ais Sherman, Sheridan and Custer were
selected as marks from which the record
was made. General Sherman, it seems,
kissed the most babies, thirty four in all,
and General Grant stood second in the
list. General Custer kissed the largest
number of ''little girls and "ladies, !"
forty-three of the former and sixty
seven of the latter, but was not partial
to the babies. General Sheridan was
second on the ladies list, while Generals
Grant and Sherman were far down on
the list. The reporter accuses some of
the ladies of performing a flank move
ment and obtaing two kisses of the same
hero, thing which babies would scorn
to do We always had a passion for
kissing little girl babies, and it grows
upon us as they grow bigger, and we al
most7 long for the next war that We
might go in and make a reputation upon
which to take our place in the line for
kissing babies, girls and ladies, like as we
march round at Meekers store to secure
seats for lecture or concert. Such is

lie was advised not to cut his own
throat by taking sides against this power,
which was considered Irresistible. The
ring masters tried at first to appear
amused at the caricatures Tweed in
dulged in pleasantly and said, ''Nast is
making SO many caricatures OF me am
beginning to look like my own pictures.
Some weeks later, when things began to
look little squally, he said, 81 don't
care what the papers say OF me because
my constituents cannot read, but those
caricatures they can" Soon after they
attempted to stop his pencil in their
usual way. Then they were solicitous
to know if Tommy" as they called the
artist, would not like to go for three
years to Europe for his health. They
then found his health was good and con-
Guided they could not do anything with
him. They termed him the crazy artist.
Harper's school-books were taken from
the public schools, at diminution IN
their receipts of many thousands OF dol
lars, but they never wayered, be 1t to
their credit. He then drew Tweed, and
as an appropriate theme for the present
days of defalcation, drew prison con-
vict with ball and chain. The ring suits
are now dragging their slow length along
in the New York courts and appear to
be interminable. In these days of de-
falcation and recreancy to trust, we
should not lose sight of the fact that a
great majority of men are sound and
faithful. The ''bear" interest in New
York control some of the most widely
circulated journals, who would have US
believe that the government itself is a
gigantic swindle. But he believes the
present government is the best in the
world, and said when it would grow cor
rupt the caricaturist would always be
ready to aid in effecting a reform.
AS an appropriate closing he drew
carricature of himself in a nightgOwn,
about to retire. The embroidery on its
front was hardly perceptible, nOrdid the
light of the candle shed more. than i'm
aginary rays, but both were easily con
ceived, and the words he seemed to
speak, Good Night" were significant
of the fact that the lecture was finished.

Contunacious Horses.

About nine o'clock yesterday morning
the milk team of Mr.. Daniel Reed of
West Rutland, was standing in front of
Mussey's store, when dog rushed at
them and frightened them to such a de-
gree that they ran at full speed down
Merchants Row, till they arrived at the
fence around the depot park, when the
wagon struck post and was very badly
broken and demoralized, generally. The
horses, by a series of scientific maneuv-
ers-in which they succeeded, admirably,
in straddling the fence, to the detriment
somewhat of their digestive apparatuses
managed to detach themselves from
the wagon, and to pass over the inter-
vening space between the scene of the
disaster and the depot, and came to
stand-still directly in front of the latter.
Their feelings were terribly ruffied and
they evidently regretted their uncalled
for conduct.

Correspondence of the Rutland Herafd
WaIIingford Centennial.
CAYBR1pGE. N. Y, Oct. 81.

CAMBRIDGE, N. T., Oct. ~.
Editor Rutland Herald In an ar
ticle from Wallingford which was pub
lished in the Globe, Oct. "a, appears two
statements which are strangely inconsist-
ent with truth. It was stated in this
article in regard to the publishing of the
proceedings of the Wallingford Centen-
NAL that the general committee of ar
rangements "were not elected" or ''were
self-elected if at all.
think it was on the evening of Oct.
1st or I'd, at an adjourned meeting of
the citizens of Wallingford, that the
aforesaid committee were appointed.
The names of this committee have been
published number of times-in the
daily papers, posters, etc, If we were
assuming false position it is incumbent
upon the committee to apologize to the
gentlemen who were invited to con-
tribute to this pamphlet. We shall waive
an apology for the present at least.
3D. 1t was stated that the idea of pub
fishing these proceedings in a pamphlet
form "were premature. l have always
found that it was the time to sell an
article when demand was created for
it. The people and the press have both
loudly called for pamphlet of these
proceedings, and in order that it might
be placed within the reach of all, the
c0nana6ttee thought it best to furnish
AZ, g. fhaCa N orc
at net cost Now the desire seems to
prevail in Wallingford that its aoise to
take these items of interest from ''the
cottages of the poor andplace them only
in the palaces of the rich" for such
would evidently be the result, because,
at the price a bound volume would be,
but very few of the laboring class of
Wallingford will be able to place it in
their homes. Again, it was questioned
by some whether it was best to hold a
centennial at all, because it was attend
ed with a great deal of expense.
The same line of argument should be
carried right through. Is it economy to
the town to pile on its already too large
Indebtedness by the accumulation of
about 81 500 more for the publishing in
a bound volume its history, when the
plan which was introduced by the COM
mittee of arrangements would have cost
the town nothing. And right here, al
low me to say that the town of Pitts
ford, if I mistake not, paid futile &
CO. $1400 for printing and publishing
its local history. If it was premature
to publish these proceedings after they
had occurred, and while the people were
demanding their publication, it certainly
could not have been premature to pub
fish the names of speakers who were to
speak on that occasion, aoh0 acre not IN
cited at aH Oh ne! My friends who
know me are aware that have no de-
sire to place myself in prominent places,
and especially in positions which are
not properly assigned to me. For
that reason l take the trouble to reply to
the little man of Wallingsford, and sub
scribe myself as one of the committee.

A DEATH ScENE.-The death scene of
the Duke of Brunswick is said to have
been a strange one. On the bed lay the
Duke, stentoriously breathing, his blonde
curly wig pushed back, the plaster fall
ing out from his wrinkles, the white and
red paint with which he had initiated
youth, run together, and making hid
eous amalgam. The poor, tottering old
chamberlains, who had served him I'M
til servituGe had become habit and al
most happiness, blubbered and fused
about. Viola, who seems-so strange is
the nature of woman-really to have
cared for him, sat apart and wept The
doctors solemnly whispered to each 9TH
er, and occasionally felt his pulse. And
English Smith, gentleman of eminent
ly respectable and essentially British ap-
pearance, kept one eye on his client and
the other on the money chest.

THE Liberal Republicans in the State
of New York have placed little ticket
of their own in the field. To show how
liberal politicians can be when they have
no hope of success, they have made up a
ticket composed of men already before
the people on the Republican and Dem
ocratic tickets. The Tribune, the mouth
piece of the little party, is in love with
the platform finds no fault with the
ticket, but regrets the small attendance
at the convention. 1t is honest enough
to say that, with the Democracy in the
field, the Liberals stand no show, and
that the Republican party is likely to re-
main in power for some time to come.

THE question, What shall be done
with the Hoosac tunnel? is entering
largely into the Massachusetts Legisla-
tive canvass. The tunnel is so nearly
finished that the incoming legislature
must probably decide it in some way.
Three plans are proposed, first, to con-
solidate the connecting lines, leasing the
Tunnel to the new corporation; second,
ito consolidate those corporations with
the States interest under mixed man
agement, as in the case of the Albany
road; and third, to purchase the con-
Meeting lines and make a State line.
The whole thing has been great bore
to the legislators of that State for a
lor.g time, and it will be seen that the
en- d is not yet.

WHAT the issue may be of the war
between Her Brittanic Majesty and the
King of Ashantee, we will not venture
specifically to predict. But there is
very little risk in saying that nothing
will accrue from it to Great Britain
either in money or glory. 1t will be
like the Abyssinian war of Great Brit
ain, or our own Indian wars, so-called.
Except for purposes of conquest civil
lied nation has everything to lose and
nothing to gain by fighting savages who
have neither renown nor portable prop
erty to be taken away. We may, there
fore, expect to see the Ashantee war
brought to an end by solemn treaty of
alliance, offensive and defensive, be-
tween the high contending powers.

THE money order business of the Post
Office Department demonstrates its popu-
larity by its increase during the last
year. 1t has proved itself great con-
venience, and will doubtless come more
and more into use, by the general pub
lie, for the transmission of small sums.
It's success and popularity will do much
to induce the experiment of designating
certain post offices as places of safety
deposit for the people. It's security would
be stimulus to many to put into them
their small savings, and thus lay up
something against pressing hour of
need. This system has worked well in
England, and we see no good reason
why it should not work well here. The
subject will doubtless be brought before
the next Congress.
