with all the characteristics OF informers,
have submitted propositions OF settle
ment for pretended infringoments of the
revenue laws, holding the terror of the
law over the heads of their victims We
are sorry Phelps, Dodge & Co, did not
stand trial, as we are sure there could
not have been twelve men found on the
face of the earth who would render a
verdict against them.
Not one importation of lumber has
been made TO which suit might not be
brought on any of the various pretences
set up by these officials. Whatever pre-
tence is made, each victim settles for
himself as best he can, rather than be
dragged from his home and business to
distant parts of the country and sub
jected to the judgment of this linguistic
rial cabal of informers and interested
parties. Every foot of lumber import
ed for several years past by the regular
dealers on Lake Champlain, Troy and
Albany, has been entered upon basis
agreed upon and fixed by the United
States Consuls in Canada, the collectors
of customs of Plattsburg and Burling
ington, in conjunction with general APP
praisers from your city. There has been
no thought in a single instance of en-
tering lumber at an differentiation, but,
on the contrary, it has been entered up
on the basis as above, and, to use the
words of Mr.. HogebOOm, one of the ap-
praisers in 1868, ''to deal with the gov
erRment as one man would deal with
another.

declining to pocket the money" he 'de-
clared that it did not properly belong to
him." We think that the very act of re-
ceiying the extra compensation, on the
part of any member is an admission of
the fact that sit properly belonged to
him" No other construction can be
placed upon the act. If the money does
not properly belong to the Senator or
Representative receiving it and paying
il back to the United States, then the
Senator or Representative, so receiving
it, is guilty of a fraud in taking it at all,
even for the purpose of returning it to
the Treasury of the general government,
and the United States, by such gifts,
does not obtain any right thereto. The
Times knows, if it knows anything,
that such proposition is all bosh and
nonsense. The ''back pay in question.

condescend to inform us what that is-in
the matter so far as we were concerned.
We certainly intended to attempt no
'logic-chopping" whatever it may be.

think, this "New York paper" to the
contrary, Notwithstanding, that it acaS
such a statement. We think that if this

at the present time, the attention of the
press had better be turned to the actual
participants in and personal benifcaries
of the act in question. This, however,
is matter of taste, of which each edi-
tor must Judge for himself. Senator
Morrill,, by his course, which the Times
is compelled to admit, is constitutional,
legal, honorable and honest, benefited
his constituents and State, and we be-
lieve that they will justify and sustain
him.

The New York Times ana Sem
ator Morrill,.

We do not propose to constitute our
selves the special champion of Justin S.
Morrill,. Indeed, we do not think he
neees any. He has served the people
of Vermont too long and too well to
need any one to defend him or his
courses. He could afford to make one
mistake and the people would forgive
him. He has, however, in our judgment,
not, as yet, made that mistake. We do
not mean by this, that he has always
voted in accordance with our views of
what was right and polite upon every
question that has arisen during his term
of service in either branch of Congress
We presume that, on critical exami-
nation of each and every vote he has
given, we should feel compelled to take
exceptions to some one or more of
them. We mean that upon questions
of general, public policy his course, ac-
tion and votes have been right. We saw
fit, Monday morning, to approve of his
course-as we had done before-in pay
ing over his 'back pay, as it is gener-
ally termed, to the Treasurer of this
State, to be applied in liquidation of the
Vermont State debt. Our comments
were called out by an item, comment or
editorial, in the Times, "a New York
paper" That paper takes exceptions to
our article, and says;
TIE HERALD somewhat elaborately
defends the course of Senator Morrill, in
applying his back to the reduction of the
State debt of Vermont. 1t saws, the
-constitutionally, morally, legal
ly, and honestly, and by no act of his
Own--was Justin s. Morrill's,' and that
iii did not belong to the United States.
We could understand this argument from
an advocate of and participant in the
shameful back pay business, but not
from Senator Morrill,, who opposed the
job throughout. That gentleman, in
declining to pocket the money, declared
that it did not properly belong TO him.
II not TO him, then it must belong TO
those from whom he took it, to wit -
to the people of the United States. Had
il been returned TO these rightful own
ers of it, the act would have needed no
logic-choppilg 10 show that il was fair
and honest act.
Now this paper, - the New York
Iimes-is grossly ignorant upon the
subject it endeavors to consider. sees it.
self in a very wrong position, or inten-
tionally means TO misrepresent. The
sentences or part of sentences, quoted.
could not be the argument of ''an advo-
cate of the back pay business, because
the money would not have belonged to
him by no act of his own" Fur
ther, this "New York paper" does not
treat Senator Morrill, or our article fair
ly, because it states only one part of our
argument We do not intend to 90 over
the ground again. So far as Mr.. Morrill,
and the people of Vermont are con-
cerned, we think that he and they are
satisfied with bis course. The Times is
mistaken in another assertion. We know

GOVERNOR PAGES Mission TO EUROPE.
We announced, some days ago, that
Governor Page had sailed for Europe.
1t seems that he has become interested
in the New York, West Shore and Chi
cagO railroad, proposed railroad from
New York to Buffalo and competing
line with the Central and Erie railroads.
BY his efforts, in connection with other
capitalists, two millions of the capital
stock of the company have already been
subscribed for, and arrangements have
been made to increase it to five millions.
With this capital subscribed or provided
for, the building of the road is assured,
and is, in fact, already under contract.
The officers of the company and the
other capitalists interested have deputed
Gov Page their agent in Europe tonego-
tiate the sale of securities through the
Amsterdam Syndicate Taken in con
nectiOn with other recent railroad de-
velOpments, this mission has an impor
lance to their interests, little dreamed
of by the citizens of Western Vermont
month ago. This mission is not only
high and deserved recognition of Gov
ernor Pages financial abilities, but shows
how little effect clamor, rumor, and in
uendo have upon the reputation of
prominent citizen, whose integrity and
uprightness are known by those who are
most familiar with him and his career.

THE FREIGHT STREET RAILROAD Cross
ING.-The committee appointed by the
Rutland County Court to act upon a
petition for opening up an avenue, to
relieve the railroad crossing, into the
west portion of the village, held their
third and final meeting at the Bates
House, yesterday, and after hearing of
parties and an examination of the To-
cality embraced in the petition, conclud-
ed that a new and more secure passage
across the railroad, west of the freight
house, was imperatively required, and
must be built at an early day. But the
relief asked for in the petition was, in
their opinion. not all that is required
that new and different route would
better subserye the demands of this COM
munity and the travelling public, and for
this reason they declined to report in IA
vor of the prayer of the petition.
We understand that the selectmen of
the town have agreed to consider the
matter at once, they acknowledging that
there should be some relief, and it is pos
sible they may grant it in some way. If
they do not, we learn that an appeal
will be taken from the decision of the
court committee There is no doubt
that something should be done to relieve
the travelling public, who are obliged to
cross the railroad track in entering the
village from the west and southwest
THE GRAND MAY DAY BALL.-In spite
of the rain yesterday, the attendance at
this ball, last evening, at the Opera
House, was very good. The party was
very creditable to the Rutland Division
of Locomotive Engineers, No. 81, under
whose auspices it was given. The OPP
era House was handsomely decorated
with miniature flags, etc, the company
was select, the music was elegant, and
every one participating seemed to enjoy
the occasion very much.
The reception committee consisted of
Mcssrs. L. L. Stearns, G.. II. Brown, NJ.

Troy Conference.
SATURDAY-THIRD DAY.

At 2 p. m was held the anniversary
of the Conference Sunday School
Union.
The body of the house was reserved
for the Sunday school of the Glovers-
vile M. E. Church, and was well filed
by the school and its local friends-the
school itself numbering nearly 800.
When the doors were thrown open the
house was intentionally packed in
few minutes. B. Howley, D. D.. of
Bennington, occupied the chair.
Rev. H. G.. Farrar, of CastletOn, gave
a finished address, Astounding in care
fully prepared thoughts and fine figures
of apt illustration.
Chaplain H. G. McCabe followed in
one of his characteristic speeches, for
which he is so famous throughout the
Church. With pleasing power he held
the vast audience for nearly an hour
now melting them to tears, and now fill
ing them with laughter at his happy hits.
The children were greatly pleased with
his speech of sparkling gems and jew
els; their happy, upturned faces re-
minded one of a garden of flowers smil-
ing in the sunshine and morning dew.
At the close of his address he sung the
song called ''The Trundle Bed" which
brought tears of tender emotions and
happy recollections of days of yore from
strong men and women, and from eyes
unused to weeping.
Saturday evening DR.. Eban Tonrjee,
Of BOstOn-whom so many Of your Rut-
land readers have seen and heard-was
on hand to lecture on church music, and
to conduct "praise meeting Again
the house was thronged, and hundreds
went away disappointed, unable to gain
even standing place.
The Doctor was at home, and beat
himself. Some writer has said of him
that, while "Orpheus compelled the
frogs to listen, Tourjee compels the
frogs to sing.
To the natives of this place, as well
as to the Conference the lecture and
praise meeting was great treat. The
Doctor is doing a great and good work
in behalf of the Church in her services
of song.
