We think some of them were really
honest men and had no idea that they
were violating the laws of the land
Unfortunately, the idea is too prevalent
that there is no harm in evading taxa
ton, whether direct or indirect. IT il
not often that fault is found with off
GERS for being too vigilant in the dis
charge of their duties. The fault is
generally the other way. In this case,
if the facts alleged are true, the trouble
or fault seems to be with the law, not
with the officers. If the law is wrong.
let us make determined, united effort
for its repeal or modification. The adj
ministration, the secretary of the treas
urer, or the officers of the customs are
not censurable for executing the law.
They are, rather, entitled to credit and
commentator.

Enforcement OF Revenao saws

We published, Saturday morning, ex-
tracts from communication to the New
York FyeRi2g Express in reference to
alleged wrongs suffered by timber inn
porters "by the system of espionage
which has been'adopted along the Can
ada line" We published it without
comment, for the reason that we were,
at the time, physically unable to under
take the task. That we may not be I'M
derstood as endorsing the facts alleged
or the sentiments of the communication,
we deem it right and proper to briefly
comment thereon In reference to the
case of Phelps, Dodge & Co., after a
circful examination Of their case, as
stated by themselves, the statements OF
. Judge Davis, Secretary Boutwell, and
others, we believe that the money paid
by them to the United States treasury
was justly due and owing thereto, as a
forfeiture from that firm. There has
been formidable and labored attempt
to shield them from all blame in the
matter and hold them up as martyrs at
the expense of Secretary Boutwell,, Dis
trict Attorneys Davis and Bliss, Collect
or Arthur and others. The firm is an
old and, heretofore, a respectable one.
Their good name and reputation was
worth more to them than few paltry
dollars. New York merchants do not
throw away money idly, uselessly and
without cause. The very fact of the
payment Of over a quarter of a
million of dollars was confession
Of guilt. Indeed, they confess their
guiit in SO many words. Secretary
Boutwell, plainly told them that
ii they were not guilty, he would
not and could not accept the money.
If they were innocent-which they con-
tessed they were not-a small percent
age of the money would have enabled
them to show it. No forfeiture or pen
atty is incurred by an innocent error in
invoicing goods. The differentiation
must be knoaoingly made. This they ac-
knowledged, paid the penalty and now
seek sympathy. Is 1t reasonable or
probable that New York merchants,
counting their wealth by millions and
having their fair fame and reputation
Tor integrity at stake, would consent to
confess wrong of which they were in
nocentS Even poor man will spend
his last dollar to defend his character
when assailed. So much for Phelps,
Dodge & Co.
AS we have said, we know nothing of
the facts alleged in the communication
referred to. We all know, however
mat smuggling is common, especially on
The Canada line. We have heard Of
yes, known of-men who called them
s s..es respectable, honest, law-abiding
CiAzens practice it to a limited extent

CRUSHED IN STONE Quarry A
Glens Falls correspondent of the Troy
Press says that about noon Thursday, a
sad and fatal accidident occurred in the
stone quarries of Mr.. Thomas Reynolds
at that place Four men, John Swee-
ney, John Murray, James Dunnegan and
Patrick Leary, were working on ledge
of rock about sixty feet above the level
of the river, and were about starting
for dinner, when a strange and sudden
rumbling noise was heard, and before
either could divine the cause an inn
mense ledge of the rock, weighing thou
sands of tons, separated from the mass
and rolled with them into the valley be-
low. In the descent, John Sweeney,
beinga young and active man, was saved
as if by miracle from the fate of his
companions by perilous jump from the
falling mass to projecting ledge about
thirty feet above the water level, and on
which there is not eighteen square inch
es standing room. From this dangerous
situation he was soon rescued by the
crowd. Messrs. Murray and Dunnegan
were reached and removed after much
effort. They are badly cut and terribly
bruised, and it is generelly believed they
cannot live. When the body of Patrick
Leary was reached he was found dead.
The Troy Times Saturday evening
said that Dunnegan died Thursday eve
ming. Little hopes of the recovery of
Murray are entertained.

BADLY HURT.-Charlie Wardwell, a
son of William Wardwell, on Grant av-
enue, was seriously hurt on Saturday.
The boy has bad the care of horse, and
probably took him out to water, and was
kicked by him or violently thrown.
When the boy was found he was not
sensible, and the horse was running
around loosely The boy was cut and
bruised about the face, head and sheul-
ders and received a severe conclusion OF
the brain, and is still lying quite ill. He
has not been able yet to explain the ac-
cident. DIR. Pond has the care of him.

The Railroad investigation


We have presented our readers, from
day to day, abstracts of the testimony
and proceedings before the legislative in
vestigating committee to investigate the
affairs of the Vermont Central and Yer
mont and Canada railroads, now in ses-
eion at st. Albans These abstracts
have been carefully prepared by com
petent, disinterested gentleman, accus-
toned to such work. We have, also.
had the opportunity eff seeing full re-
port of the testimony, and have care
fully read the same. We do not wish
to be premature in expressing an opin-
| ion, but we think that so far at least,
the trustees and managers of these rail-
roads have shown themselves to be
which we never, for an instant, doubted
fair, honorable, honest and upright
men. We may be permitted to remark
here, that we do not think that a paid
attorney, of parties making charges
against railroad managers, is exactly
| qualified to give a fair and impartial ac-
| count of the progress of such an investi-
| CATION, or of the appearance of certain
witnesses, whom he is especially paid to
! oppose, if not malign. We know that
an attorney is apt to overrate his clients
supposed wrongs, and sometimes to I'M
derrate the known integrity of the OPP
pCsite party and witnesses These re-
marks are called out by the fact that
we see published especial dispatches, "
which we know originate from such a
source. which show, on their face, an
evident malice to the managers of these
railroads 0rssome of them. As for our
solves, we shall continue to furnish our
readers, daily, with candid. impartial
reports If the proceedings, and shall,
from time to time, comment thereon.
We trust and hope that the grave charges
which have been 50 persistPntly-and,
in some instances, maliciously-made
will he entirely disproved; and snch
seems to he the prospect AT present. The
people of Vermont have too long hnr-
Oled the gentlemen connected with the
management, and entrusted them h'1
many times with high official post ION,
and they have served us too long and too
faithfully without even the shade Of 4
shadow of am aspersion being cast upon
their integrity, for US to believe, without
evidence, that they are corrupt, dishon-
orable scoundrela. Others may pin their
faith 81 clamor and rumof,> hut we pre-
fer to wait for the evidence.

KnoxriIIe nibIc SOCIETY.

At a meeting of this Society, Thursday,
September 18th, the following paper was
unanimously adopted:
In view of the recent departure from
this life of David A. Deaderick, who was
for eight years past useful and honored
member of this Board, be it
Resolved, That the-managers of this So
ciety Geplore the loss they have sustained
in the decease of one who so brightly il
Illustrated, by godly, sober and righteous
life in the faith of Christ, the virtues of
the Christian character and the vital power
for good Of the Gospel of our Redeemer,
and who, as a member of this Board, was
faithful and diligent.
Resolved, That while We lament his
death, we rejoice to believe that, departing
in peace and hope, he has gone to be with
Christ in Heavenly blessedness and that
we will cherish affectionately his memory
and the recollection of his sympathy and
labors with us in the work Of circulating
the Book which he loved and honored, and
which it was his earnest desire should be
made known 10 all people, that they might
receive the Word of Life in faith and be
saved forever.
Resolved, That we tender to the family
Of the deceased our friendly coincidence,
and that copy of these resolutions be
communicated to them by the Secretary.
RESOLVED, That the Secretary forward a
copy of these resolutions to each of the
daily papers of the city for publication.
Upon motion Mr.. J. A. Rayl unsolicited
a manager of the Society in the stead of
Mr.. Deaderick, deceased.
Resolved, That this Board, having had
the county of Cooke cRnvassed by a col
porteur during the past summer, finds it.
self unable, for want of pecuniary means,
to have the county of Cumberland cam
vassed this autumn as the Board had in
tended, and therefore the Secretary be in
structed to request the pastors of the
Christian Churches in Knoxville which
have not contributed this year to the Soci-
ETY., to take up collections without delay
for the work of distributing the Scriptures
in this region of country.
