DIR. HartzeIl,s Lecture.

We are glad TO learn Of the growing
interest among the citizens of Bellows
Falls in first.class lectures. The COM
mittee have, on the whole, been exceed
ingly fortunate in their selection Of lee
turers. Our people have been delighted
with Cough. Parsons, Anna Dickinson,
and DIR. Chaplin. and we are pleased
that the course for this season is to be
closed by lecture, by one so able and
eloquent as DIR. Hartzell.
We feel assured of one of the very
richest, and most satisfactory entertain
ments of the course. The subject-"The
Door of Opportuuity"-is fertile one,
and one for which DIR. Hartzell is well
adapted. z aaf t4 ti31"
If our citizens desire to make sure of a
course of lectures next season, from the
very best and eloquent speakers in the
country, and desire to cultivate taste
and desire in our community, for
higher order of entertainments in Bel.
lows Falls, for the young and older peo-
pie, than we heretofore have been accus-
toned to have, we urge upon them, to
literally patronize the closing lecture,
Wednesday Evening, February 9th.
The committee of arrangements will see
that the hall is so improved and arrang-
ed, that all can hear and have an enjoy
able time. There has been some incon-
venience heretofore on account of the
echo in the hall. We learn that arrange
ments will be made to obviate this diff
Guilty. We are pleased to learn that
measures will be taken at once for the
purpose of securing the very best lectur-
ers for course next season, and among
them the committee will, if possible, Sc.
cure Bishop Simpson.

THE GAINESVILLE Times and Mt. Vernon
Banner are publishing the names of per-
sons who have refused to pay their sub
scriptions after taking and reading the
papers for one, two and three years :;
giving as a reason that the man who will
defraud the prin ter will bear watching,
and that the community ought to know
him"
We see articles similar to the above,
frequently, in our exchanges. On one or
two occasions we have published the
names of parties who had swindled us,
but we have come to the conclusion that
it should not be done. In the first place it
does no good A man who is scoundrel
will be one still. You cannot scare or
blackmail such into being honest. And
then there mag be circumstances in the
case which you do not fully understand.
Because a man owns or controls news
paper gives him no more right to expose
the unfortunate man or the rascal, than
it he were engaged in any other business.
More money is lost by the grocer, retail
dealer, &c, in proportion to the amount
of business transacted, than is lost by the
publisher of paper. And how would it
look to see men engaged in selling
goods publishing the names of those who
do not pay? Again, delinquents gener-
ally have innocent relatives and friends,
whose feelings should be respected, We
doubt whether it ever pays to expose de
linquents by name

Since Congress is running so largely
into the line of making the mails a be-
nevolence to be supported by taxes, why
should it not concede little to the pub
lie convenience by leaving postage on
newspapers to be paid as now, by sub
scribers at the office where the papers
are delivered? Why compel the people
to pay postage for year in advance as
they must, if it is to be paid by the pub
Usher and added to the subscription
price? Would it not be well to abate q
little of the charity theory, which regards
this as a nation of paupors, and to give
more attention to justice and the public
convenience p Cincinnati Gazette.
You could not be satisfied until you
got Congress to work on the postal laws.
The people were satisfied, and asked no
changes to be made. Now that you have
stirred the matter up and got Congress
to work we hope that you may be com
PEELED to pay your postage, like other
persons. You are not quite so much in
favor of economy now, when your own
pocket is touched. We will willingly pay
the postage in advance on our paper, and
not charge it to subscribers either, if we
can see the city papers compelled to pay
the postage on theirs. Why should j ohr
Smith be compelled to pay postage il
advance on the letter he sends to Ton
! Brown, while the Gazette can be sent or
credit to Tom, Dick and Harry? Why
not require all postage to be paid in AL
vance. If the Government has quit tn,
free carriage of mail matter, why no
also quit carrying on credit?

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

We have no faith in written constitu-
tions They are a sham and a delusion.
When human slavery was to be abolished,
we were told that the constitution would
not permit it. When society seeks to pro
tect itself against the ravages of intem-
perance, we are told that it cannot be
done; that it would be unconstitutional.
When it was desired to build a railroad
at the public expense, the constitution
meets us square in the face.
But we will have a new constitution
made next summer in this State, costing
the people some money. Whom shall
we send from this county? Nobody
wants to go. If a0e were sent, we would
have constitution made which would
give to every man cottage, cow and q
pig-provided he would work for them.
We would prohibit the use of liquor and
tobacco, and let women and foreigners
vote.
But, seriously, let US send a good man

Colfax and Ames.

The question of veracity at issue be-
tween Oakes, Ames and Mr.. ColtaX was
the chief point of interest in the closing
testimony before the Poland Committee
YESTERDAY afternoon and evening. Fur
ther light is not likely to be thrown upon
it, and people will make up their minds
on the evidence now in. The turning
point in this branch of the caseiis the al
legged 81 200 dividend. Ames says this
was paid to Colfax by check drawn on
the Sergeant-at-Arms in favor of IS. c. or
bearer" ColfaX positively swears that
no such payment was ever made to him,
and that he never saw the check, to the
best Of his recollection, until 1T was pro-
duced before the Committee. The testl-
mony from the Sergeant-at-Arms, or his
Assistant having charge of disbursements,
failed to contain the statement OF Ames.
(Some journals have been constantly as
serting that payment Of the 81 200 to
ColfaX was proved by the Sergeant-at-
Arms. but such was not the fact.) Then
came the disclosure, which dumbfound-
ed many of the Vice Presidents best
friends, that two days after the payment
so alleged and denied, Mr. Colfax had
deposited in bank just $1,000 in green
backs, along with small drafts making
up total of over 81 900. This was the
staggering blow, without which there
would have been no hesitation among
fair-minded men in accepting, all the cir
cumstances considered, the testimony ot
Colfax as against that of Ames.
We publish elsewhere Mr.. Colfax's fl
nal statement in full To our mind, il
| fully meets the issue and satisfactorily
explains how the 81 200 was received
Mr. Ames hunted all his papers through
in vain for any receipt from Mr.. Colfax
| or other DrOOf than his (AmeSO OWI
memoranda The book-keeper of the
Sergeant-at-Armsa again testified as to the
81 200 matter, yesterday, and not only
swore positively, as before, that thu
check was not paid to Colfax, but that i
was his strong impression that the mon
ey was paid to Ames himself. On thi
point, the record of Mr.. Colfax is nov
clear That will be the verdict of al
honest public opinion.-Cin. Chronicle.

A Miss Sibley was appointed Deputy
Clerk of the Court at Toledo, but the
Judge, Collins, refused to confirm the
appointment, because she was not an
elector, and could not hold Office. Now
here is work for the coming Constitu-

Constitution, may be permitted to toll
over the wash tub, but the much more
appropriate work for her, of making and

We wonder if it is the country D,

We wonder if it is the country papers
that are now bowling about postage.
Listen to the Cincinnati Chronicle:
'Of course, there is a universal protest
among journalists against the unjust
proposition to require prepayment of the
postage on newspapers by the publishers.
There is no good reason for placing this
heavy tax on them. After reducing the
rates of subscription to the lowest paying G
standard it is manifest wrong to re-
quire them to assume an obligation which
properly rests upon the other party to
the contract Subscribers do not ask
this, nor would they find it the most
convenient method, were it practicable, to
take the roundabout course of settling
with the Department through the agency
of newspaper publishers, compensating
them for the additional trouble. We
trust the whole scheme will be dropped
without further ceremony"
