Our attention has been called to the fol-
lowing little bit Of . innocent informa-
ton in the Montpelier Journal
= \ correspondent of the Woodstock
Standard says In Windsor county, bank
and all dividend paying stocks are set in the
list at their fall par value, while in Frank
lin county all such stocks. as well as
money on hand and debts due, are set in
tbs list at fifty per cent. of par value. How
Is that for equity? Oppressed Chittenden,
franklin, etc. please rise and explain. -
And 50 say we.
The proper explanation Of the foregoing
Is an absolute denial. 1t has not a shadow
Of truth to rest upon. All such stocks and
debts are listed here just as they are
throughout the State, at their full par
value as personal property. We DO not
know what could have influenced the
anonymous correspondent to deliberately
utter such falsehOod. but it Is apparent
that the conscience stricken people in Wind
SOr and Washington counties are anxious to
find some sort Of justifcatiOn-eyen false
one-i0r netting out unfairness to us here.
They have heretofore undertaken to show that
our lands are as much more valuable than
theirs as the grand list would indicate, but not
only do census returns Of productions show
to the contrary, bat the good sense Of every
body tells them II l. n0tSo They have even
been 50 hard up for argument that they
have pointed TO the growth Of Burlington
and -. Adams a. a reason why the farm
lands in Chittenden and Franklin counties
should be appraised from forty to sixty per
cent higher than the average through the
State. No doubt the growth Of towns and
cities somewhat helps the surrounding coun-
try. but in no such ratio as this. and if it
did why should not the rule be applied to
the country around Rutland. Montpelier.
St JohnSbury Bennington and Brattleboro? &?
These two arguments, the latter founded on
miSconceptiOn and the former on falsehO0d,
are the muddy water with which our neigh
bors are trying to wash their hands Of this
miserable business. Do the people of Rut-
land, Addison, Windsor and Washington
counties, equally As good as these, want To
extort money from Us? Do they deem it the
part of good craftsmanship to create
sore and do nothing to heal it? Do th6y
think it will rebound 10 the good name Of
Vermont, enure to her profit and contribute
to her peace 10 persist IN a wrong which
cannot be corrected a. To the past and will
not be forgotten? These things are not
threats but they are facts, and if our neigh
bOrs purpose 10 remain Indifferent 10 them
we should ike TO have them rise and ex-
plain if they think that, in the long run,

\ COLLEGE PEANK.-The degree of aiiec-
tion existing between the SophOmOres and
freshmen of Dartmouth College is not pro
found. On Christmas night, which, it will
be remembered, was one of the coolest Of
the old year, the freshmen had a supper,
but on separating at late hour their hats
were missing, and they bad to return to
their quarters, in the bitter night air, bare
headed. Next morning, the missing arti-
cles were discovered suspended high above
their heads, and beyond reach, in the chapel.
The feeling aroused by this incident found
expression Saturday morning in oiling the
soph0mOres seats, but what was the fresh
mems horror when. instead of enjoying the
sight of seeing their enemies standing up
in the aisle during prayers, they saw them
enter by their door and quietly occupy their
seats

GERMAN MANNERS AND GUS
TOMS.

As we copied recently from the
In, Y. Christian Observer somc dis.
creditable remarks touching one of
the Schools in Germany, we make
amends by inserting the following
from the correspondence of the Bal.
tim0Fe american -
| There is no regular meat markets
in any of the German cities, and with
the exception of Stuttgart, we have
not met with n market house of any
description. There is usually pub
lie square set apart for market,
well paved with stone, but without
even shed or public stall upon it.
The market people merely set their
baskets down and stand alongside of
them, though some bring stalls with
them, and have large umbrellas. -
All kinds of meat ia obtained from
the provision stores, which are very
numerous, and are fitted up with
great elegance. To look in at an
American provision store on a warm
day is enough to spoil ones appetite,
but the German provision store
makes man hungry to look at it.
The meat is displayed on white mar
bic slabs, the windows are ornamcn-
ted with specimens of meat, sausa
ges and other articles, with li'tlo
fountain playing over an urn full OF
gold fish. There is an air OF clean
illness and sweetness abou. the whole
establishment, aud the duty OF sales
mau is usually performed by q
bright, rosy checked lass, who hand
less the weapons Of her profession
with all the skill of professor, -
We always make it a rule to stoE
and look in at these neat little es'
Adjustments, aud wonder why it Il
that we, with our superahundanee o
| ice, cannot present similar stores.

CINCINNATI INDUSTRIAL EXPO
6ITION

The attendance at the exposition
during the eight days, closing on
the 18th, was ninety six thousand,
being nineteen thousand moro than
for the corresponding eight days last
year. As display everybody pros
nounces it immensely in advance OF
its predecessors, while in respect to
quantity and value, especially the
latter, it is without parallel in Gin
cinnati expositions. There are six
teen departments, and scarcely one
of them, experts say, have ever
been equalled in this country. In
tho music pavilion three concerts
are given daily by the best bands in
the city, who have rehearsed for
months for the occasion. The gov
eminent signal service has an office
in the main building, where reports
are received ard printed daily
The lower hall has two hundred and
seventy machines moving, of which
one hundred and forty are propelled
| by steam and the others by hand.
In addition to these are seventy five
Buckley machines lying idle. The
department of natural history is very
full. The floral hall was never sur
passed in pei lection OF variety and
rarity of the plants exhibited.
Art hall contains 800 oil paintings,
400 engraviugs, 100 water colors
and drawings, $50 articles OF house
hold art, % architectural drawings,
81 large Photographic views of
Yosemite Valley. Besides great
number Of other fine photographs and
oil painting TO represent the English,
French, Flemish and German
schools, two Of Turner'S pictures are
in the collection, both OF water col
ors.
An instalment of nine pictures
from Dusseldorf, sent especially toi

THE srATE FAIR

II is now generally conceded say 3
the Albany News, that failure is i'm
possible. Mayor Huff and the walked
up live men Of Macon have set their
pegs, and are determined TO make
the October Fair the grandcst sue
cess that has ever crowned the efforts
of the Society
The thirteen counties that are to
contend for the $1,000 premium
alone are sufficient for better exhi-
bition than we have ever had in
Georgia; but they will constitute
less than a tythe Of the show. The
Stock department promises to be the
largest and most interesting ever
witnessed in the South. The time
and race stables are all engaged, and
more are TO be erected. The best
blooded horses in America will be
there, and we predict that the lovers
Of the sport will have the exquisite
pleasure Of witnessing the fastest
time on record. The track is, in the
| Judgment of old rurfmen, the best
on the continent, if not in the world /;
and if tho weather be favorable there
is no reason why our prediction may
not come to pass.
Macon is preparing to do her whole
duty in the premises--not only IN
the exhibition of her goods, wares.
merchandise and manufactures, but
in providing for the comfort and &C
commodation Of all who attend the
Fair. She is fully resolved on a big
thing and will spend her last dollar
or make it so Her hotels and board
ing houses ere 20 be placed on The
India rubber system, and her private
residences are TO be thrown open to
invited guests
Mayor Huff is fully alive to the
requirements of the situation, and
with n carrie blaac from his people,
he rises with the emergency. and

SIGNIFICANT REMARKS.

The future political ploicy Of the
South is indicated by the Louisville
Courier. Journal, in remarks upon
Grant, the republican party, &C.. -
We make selections 80
"The real thing, therefore, to be
apprehended in the future, is the
gradual attritions of the one man
power, rather than any specific de-
signs Of the President. Gen. Grant,
we take it, is simply going upon the
principle which has seemed to guide
him since his rise in the world
That principle is the getting Of all
he can, and the keeping Of what he
gets. But as there is no considera-
BILE means of opposing him at the
South, and as the conduct Of the
Northern people, acting through the
Republican party, has had the effect
Of quchching sound national and
patriotic spirit among the Southern
people, IL can not ercite much condcr
that his election fer a third tenn will
Meok dorm all opposition 10 him in
that quarter where opposition has
proved so fruilless. This overthrow
Of impediments would need only to
be followed by the opportunity in or
der 10 build up feeling OF self
vancement on the part of the adven>
furious. Men would begin, and not
without reason, 10 say that the choice
between Cesarism and Radicalism 10
choice between master in whose
service there is a chance Of promo
ton and a master whose domination
has been always ungentle, ungener-
GUS and discouraging.
The responsibility for the 6rgani
cation of parties in way to insure
us against the re election of General
Grant rests therefore entirely with
the North. The South threw up the
sponge last year 1t was the only
hearty supporter of Horace Greeley,
and when it made the surrender Of
its prejudices in order to signalize
its entire submission to the DEGREES
Of war it closed it's account with the
past. 1t will hardly reopen the
books. In the future it will be
simple follower, not a leader, in ideas,
taking care to make the best terms
il can with the inevitable, whatever
that may happen to be.
Thus, unbappily, the South, en-
feebled by misfortunes and discour-
aged by NAL administration, may be
considered a fruit growing region of
tendencies dangerous to liberty"

WILL CIVIL WAR PREcEDE DIES
PoTIsMG

This now is the mos, momentous
Of all questions tosthe people Of the
United States II we are tending to
despotism, civil war cannot avert It,
but win only make it the more alb
solu,e. Itwould be greatly better
for us to pass into a government Of
force under popular forms and pre-
serving as far as possible the sub
stance Of popular liberty.
Gen. Gordon has been interview
ed by a N. Y Herald correspondent
and speaks pointcdly on Csesarism.
lie says the recollection Of Grant to a
third term would be more danger
Gus than tho third term Of any other
man; that such an election would
no, be the first step TO Empire AZ
several had already been taken /;
and, that it would be absurd for the
Southern people TO resist, alone, the
establishment Of an Empire but if
a great movement should be made at
the North, the South would cn-oper-
ate.
SO, prominent men talk of the pos
sibilities of the near future and force
upon our consideration the most aw>
full civil war that ever convnlsed o
nation, the end Of which, whosoever
succeeds, can only be the establish
o,ont of a military desnotigm.
