suffered at the hands of Great Britain.
For once the sentiment of the whole
country was hearty, unanimous and
right. Political distinctions were thrown
aside, and all, of every creed, politics or
shade of opinion, were united in de-.
mand for redress of our grievances.
What were these wrongs that so stirred
up our people and called out the elo-
quent and indignant protest of Charles
Sumner on the floor of the United States
Senate, in one of his most learned, fin
ished and powerful efforts What were
these grievances for which we unani-
mously demanded redress? Simply and
solely that certain individual shipbuild-
ers had constructed vessels, which were
allowed to pass unmolested from Eng
land, and, under the control of armed
rebels, prey upon our commerce, and
were suffered to take in coal and pro-
visions at British ports. The question
of an undue haste, in recognizing the
rebels as belligerents, was practically
abandoned, and the award at Geneva
was made upon other grounds than this.
We were awarded, by the tribunal of
arbitrator, over fifteen millions of dol
lars, because Great Britain permitted the
building, escape and, subsequent, coal
ing and provisioning of these rebel
cruisers. What shall we say then to our
own position to-day? We cannot be-
lieve, as telegram informs us that 'the
Secretary of War is so highly pleased
with the raid of Colonel Mackenzie that
he has gathered all the comments OF the
press and mailed them to him, marking
those which justify the act as receiving
the approval of the administration" 1t
cannot be possible that our government
can have so soon forgotten the grounds
upon which we claimed remuneration
from the English government. 1t can
not be that we have so soon forgotten with
what arguments we secuted the idea of
of responsibility for the Fenian raids.
We congratulate ourselves, that THE
HERALD was the first of the press of the
country to condemn General Mackenzie's
raid, as contrary to the cherished prin-
ciples of the country and in violation of
territorial rights, international law and
the comfy of nations. Already the pub
lie press are changing their tone, and
viewing the matter in proper light.
Principles are uniform, and cannot be
insisted upon or flouted upon the idea
that circumstances alter cases." The
whole country, with one accord, con-
demned England for suffering the escape
of the Alabama, yet a number of the
people and a portion of the press APP
plaud the act of an officer of the United
States army in invading neutral territory
and fighting battle thereon. We have
no fears as to the judgment of the future
or the considerable action of the admins
tration thereon, and with them we are
content to leave the mOmentous princi-
pies involved in the issue.

A PiuCky Vermont Boy

About fifteen years ago a young man
| barely out of his teens, stepped off the
train on the Cleveland & Toledo (now
Lake Shore Railroad at Oberlin, Ohio,
carpet-bag in hand, and inquired for the
| nearest hotel. He was directed to
Chauncey Wack's famous house, not far
from the depot, and at once proceeded
thither and engaged n room.
Our hero registered at Wack's inno-
Gently enough, and then started up town
to prospect. Being the son of a clergy
man in Vermont, and having but a few
shillings in his pocket. he naturally
sought out the good citizens of Oberlin
| in his quest of employment. At first
they lent q ready ear to his story, and
inquired into particulars, but as soon as
they learned that he was stopping at
Wack's they fled dismayed. The young
man, after. several incidents of this
kind, strangely suspected that he had
got into a smallpox hospital; but being
plucky and self-relient, he determined
to make the best of it and be under OBJ
legations to nobody.
A few days later a single dangled
from a little shop, saying to the passer-
by, "House and Sign Painting" and
look within disclosed the young Yer
monter deep in the combinations of
white lead and linseed oil. Soon from
morn till night he could be seen perched
on his ladder around town, renovating
walls and making his marks. Skill and
perseverance brought him employment,
and he continued to board at Wacks
And even worse, then he actually had
the audacity to accompany Miss Helen
Wack, then q beautiful and accomplish
ed miss in her teens, to LECTURES and
public entertainments.
Careful mothers expostulated with
their sons about associating with him,
and if the impertinent offspring asked
for reasons, they were triumphantly
overwhelmed with the reply, "He boar1s
at Wack's!" This was clincher, and
thereafter no further questions were
asked
The rebellion broke out, and among
the first to take an active part in the
work of raising recruits was this plucky,
independent painter.
A few months later the Geographic
reports of the bloodiest battles in the
South contained especial mention of the
gallantry Of Lieut.. of the Artillery.
Already the young man had in great
measure atoned for the sin of boarding
at Wack's by the active part be had
taken in the war; and when at length
he revisited the town on a brief leave of
absence, his society was somewhat court
ed by the literary and leading citizens.
They thought they could discover some
thing very manly about him, and began
to wonder why they had not observed it
sooner.
A year later and the poor painter was
Captain of Artillery and in command of
Fort He'll, in front of Petersburgh.
His name was in everybody's mouth, and
it was considered an honor to grasp his
manly hand.
After peace came, the first official act
of this Captain was to return to Oberlin
and make a bride of Miss Helen Wack.
Oberlin then actually rejoiced with him
and babe him ''God speed" as he left
for Alabama.
After time he returned to Ohio and

Special village Meeting.

The legal voters of village of Rutland
to the number of about one hundred and
fifty, assembled at the Village Hall, at
half past seven o'clock last evening, and
were called to order by the clerk, Geo.
r. Bottum, who read the call.
In the absence of the moderator, af-
ter several Intellectual attempts to secure
a presiding afficer, Ner P. Simons was
elected moderator pro tenn.
S. F. Paige moved that the meeting
be dissolved.
George E. Lawrence spoke at some
length, in favor of voting tax, and of
meeting the question squarely and not
lodging it by an adjournment.
The motion to adjourn was lost.
In response to a call, Albert H. futile,
President of the-trustees, said that in
the opinion of the board, twenty-five
per cent would be absolutely necessary
to defray the current expenses of the
village.
The question was discussed by Miner
billiard, who moved that tax of fifteen
cents on the dollar be raised.
George E. Lawrence moved that a tax
of twenty-five cents on the dollar be
raised.
Mr.. Lawrence favored a tax of TWEEN
ty-hve cents.
Mr.. Hilliard thought that fifteen cents
would be sufficient, and desired to limit
the expenses to three thousand dollars,
the estimate for the fire department,
night watch and lighting the streets.
Mr.. Lawrence again favored the larg-
er sum.
Charles Woodhouse wished to be reason
able, but thought we had ought to come
to the hard-pan of economy at once.
He was in favor of voting just money
enough and no more. We pay the treas
urer too much, and he thought we could
find a man who would discharge the du-
ties cheaper
Charles Sheldon and Miner Hilliard
were appointed tellers, who decided that
the motion to raise tax of twenty-five
cents was lost
Charles Woodhouse proposed tax of
twenty cents on the dollar, which was
lost by vote of fifty-seven ayes to six
ty-seven nays.
The, question then required on mo-
ton to raise fifteen cents on the dollar.
Gen. William Y. w. Ripley thought
it was an insult to the village and an
outrage on the people to raise such
miserable, petty sum as fifteen cents to
carry on the affairs of the village.
Charles Sheldon said he would rather
vote no tax at all, than to have this mo-
ton prevail.
The proposition to raise tax of fif-
teen cents on on the dollar was almost
unanimously voted down.
The meeting was then dissolved

THE RUTLAND HERALD.
HUTLAND's SHAME.

1t is with shame and humiliation, that
we call the attention of the public to the
proceedings of the taxpayers and voters OF
the village, at their meeting last evening.
Never before has Rutland been so dis
graced and outraged as she was, last
night, by the refusal of her taxpay-
ers to vote tax to defray the necessary
current expenses for the year. We can
well conceive how it may answer the
purposes of a certain class who, unfor-
tunately, infest nearly every community
in the land, to have dark streets, no po-
lice or watchman, and fire apparatus
without any firemen to use the same.
That class is shame and disgrace to
every community, and unless our citi-
zens turn out to village meetings to
counteract their influence, the shame and
disgrace is ours too. What are a few
cents or dollars to taxpayer, in COM
parison to the safety of his property
and the protection of his person? The
men who are willing thus save few
cents taxation at the risk of the lives and
property of their neighbors are even a
worse bane to the prosperity and growth
of our village, town and State, than are
the first referred to. Could they have
their own way, our public schools would
be closed, our streets would be mud
holes and and the sidewalks only moth
er earth. 1t answered their purpose,
last evening, to join hands with the low
ers of dark streets, because they afford
more occasions for plying their voca-
tions,-and the result is before our read
ers. The action of the village meeting,
last evening, is sufficient commentary
on, what one of the speakers was pleas
ed to call the "hard pan of economy"
while the remarks of General Ripley on
the misery action action of the assem-
bled voters expresses the considerate
judgment of every intelligent voter and
citizen of Rutland. We leave the tax
payers to the reflection that they have
darkened the streets, opened the doors
to BURGLARS and incendiaries, disbanded
the fire department and saved (?) few
cents.
