An act similar to that of 1888 was
passed in 1897, in which disseaters are
not treated as pretenders. This act did
not give satisfaction, and in 1901 it was
repealed as to requiring person to be-
long to any denomination, and a person
might relieve himself from taxation, in
such cases, by delivering to the clerk
of his town or parish, declaration in
writing, with his name subscribed there
to, in the following words, to-wit:
81 do not agree in religious opinion
with majority of the inhabitants of
this town Cor parish, as the case may
be-. R."
The fourth Council of Censors, in
1906, recommended the repeal of all
laws providing for the. taxation of per-
sons for the support of the Gospel, ex-
cepting in cases where they had volun-
tarily consented thereto, and III pursu-
ance Of such recommendation the Gen
eral Assembly, at their session held at
Woodstock, in 1907, repealed alllaws
providing for the taxation of persons for
the support of the Gospel without their
express consent. W. N. p. >

Taxes for the support of the Gospel
... In g" We OIden Timcs.ss

As it is nearly two-thirds of century
since taxes for the support of the Cos
pei in Vermont have been levied without
the express consent of the taxpayers,
many of your reapers are not aware that
in the early days of the Republic it was
required that all persons liable to pay
taxes should contribute to the support of
| the Gospel. ..s- .5@...
AT a session of the General Assembly
of Vermont, held at Westminster, in
| October, 1888, a law was passed provid-
ing that towns OF parishes might vote to
build meeting-houses, and hire ministers,
vote their settlements and support, and
assess taxes to pay the expenses OH the
polls and rateable estates Of persons liv-
ing, or estates lying, within the limits of
the town or parish. ~. = .5--....s.i.. p.
In order to be relieved from such
taxes, a person was required ''to bring
a certificate, signed by some minister of
the Gospel, deacon or elder, or the mod
orator in the church or congregation to
which he or they pretend to belong, be-
ing of a different persuasion, !" which GER
tificate was to be recorded in the town
clerks Office.
Unless provision had been made for
relieving persons from taxation for the
support of the Gospel contrary to the
dictates Of conscience, the law would
have been in violation of the Constitu-
ton of Vermont then in force, estab-
lished by convention, July Cd, 1777.
The third article of the bill of rights,
providing, among other things, that g no
man ought or of right can be compelled
to attend any religious worship, or erect
or support any place of worship, or
maintain any minister, contrary to the
dictates of his conscience"
1t would seem from the reading of the
act of 1888, that our legislators of that
session did not we'll understand language,
or were so uncharitable to suppose that
if any did not agree with the prevailing
religious sentiment in their town, they
were hypocritical, and pretended to be
of different religious sentiment, for the
purpose of relieving themselves from be-
ing burdened with the support of the
Gospel.

TIE WEST. STREET RAILWAY Cross
ING. We wish the people of Rutland
would see the neccssity-and act upon it
of digging out and building a public
road and highway under the West street
railroad crossing. This subject has been
agitated before - thus far, however,
seemingly no purpose. Again we
bring the matter before the public. and
urge speedy action on the subject No
one denies the desirability and necessity
of such improvement. Then why not
take proper and prompt measures for its
execution The expense would not be
eXtravagant to the town; the advantages
that would result can not be too highly
estimated. Rutland has many things to
be proud of-as, for instance, its sub
stantial and ornamental public buildings,
| its handsome residences, its fine cultiva-
ted society, and its spirit of enterprise
generally, and it is to be regretted that
a necessity for Improvement Of such
slight expense should exist TO detract
from the many commendablc qualities
the town and its people already possess.
Convenience, safety, public necessities,
all demand this Improvement. Long
continued bearing with pressing wants
blinds the eyes of people to the need of
change for the better. We would here
state that the American railroads are too
free from legislative enactments, and re-
quirenents as regards public railway
crossings. We could wisely follow the
example Of European countries in this
respect. Take for instance England and
France, where the railroad as a general
thing is obliged to pass over or under
the public highway. In England peo-
pie, in most sections, are prohibited
from crossing the track even in the de-
pots, but must cross over or under In
Germany, Austria, Switzerland, ITALY,
and throughout the continent generally,
railroads are obliged to keep a man at
every crossing--in the country as well
as in the city-whose duty it is to close
the gates TO all highway travel while the
train is passing The utility of such
laws is apparent toal. And now as we
have no such laws here, it only remains
for the town authoritiesto take the mat
ter into their hands and effect the need
ed Improvement. Let the people of
Rutland act upon the matter.

! THE RAISING OF GREEN MOUNTAIN
BOYS FOR THE CAPTURE OF TICoNDERoGA
"A CoRREcrIoS. -Sone weeks ago, we
/ published an extract from the appendix
to Clittenden's address, before the Yer
mont Historical Society. on ''the cap
ture of Ticonderoga' stating, among
other things, that Major Gersh0no Beach,
Of Rutland, was one of the most earnest
and energetic of the Green Mountain
Boys, and that he event on foot to Rut-
land, Pittsford, Brandon, Middlebury,
| Whiting and Shoreham, makinga circuit
1 of sixty miles in twenty-four hours, for
| the purpose of gathering soldiers for the
! capture of Ticonderoga. The entire ar
ticle, as published by us may be found
on page 107 of the published address and
appendix, being note number 10, and
/ referred to in page 81 of the address,
/ Soon after the publication of the extract,
| we received letter from well-known
| resident of Whiting, stating that Major
/ San2seL Beach was the person who, in
reality, performed5the services attribut-
| ed to Gershom Beach Gershom Beach.
! our correspondent states, was an intern
perate man and was drowned in Lake
/ Dunmore. The further fact is stated
that the grandchildren of Major Samuel
Beach now possess the identical silk
stockings worn by him on the occasion
alluded TO.
| We doubt not that our correspondent
/ is right in his correction, and the fact
affords another Illustration of how er-
rors creep into history. We have made
! a somewhat hasty examination of the
authorities referred toby Mr.. Chittenden,
as well as coutemporaneous documents
and history, and, somewhat strange to
say, we nowhere find Major Beach re
farrej to by his first name He is simply
designated as major Beach. 1t may
not be matter of much consequence,
bGs Il is best that this question If there
/ is any question about it-should he de
termned now, while the matter is at
tracing public attention, remembering
I that history is. sometimes made ont of
! tncousidered trities. -......... ..-...

ing. Apparently general laws, which,
upon their face, are made for the gen.
eral good and to subserve the ends OF
Justice. are passed for private ends, and
by the votes of the very men who are to
be wronged-if not defrauded-thereby.
An illustration of this was presented by
our Legislature, few years ago, in the
passage of law for the actual benefit of
an alleged fraudulent and bankrupt in
surance company, although no such mo-
tive, intent or benefit was apparent from
the wording of the law itself. Is it real
ly any matter of surprise that laws are
ignorantly made and unmade? As a
legislator once said, "what did my con-
stituents send me here for except to
make laws 2" This is the idea that too
many of them have, and the law be-
comes, thereby, uncertain and unsettled
At the last session of our Legislature,
three hundred and fifty-one acts, bills
and resolutions were passed, and ap-
proved by the Governor, thereby be-
coming law These laws and resolu-
tions occupy sixHhundrcd and ninety
two ordinary octave pages. A large
number-how many we know not-of
other proposed laws were presented,
acted upon, but failed to become law.
In this vast amount of business, it is
matter of wonder, not that blunders are
made, but that more of them do not oc-
cur. This special legislation is what
does the mischief. 1t requiree-or
should require-time, patience and at
tention, but it does not and cannot re-
ceive it. Special laws and general laws
slip through the Legislature, and an APP
parently harmless clause works an in
finity of mischief This is the gate
through which Rosenzweig, and others
like him, make an easy escape.
The time devoted to special legislation
should be devoted to the interests of the
people, and then these loop-holes would
be stopped. Some years ago, New York
had general Jail delivery by means of
a similar act, and we doubt not that
they will continue to recur-not only
there but here and elsewhere-until a
changed constitution makes it impossi-

properly worked, it promises to be the
