Encouragement Of Manufactures.

We understand that some efforts have been
recently made, looking to a repeal Of the
law which cxcmpts new manufacturing en-
tcrprises in Vermont from taxation for a
specified period. And it is stated that these
efforts are ostensiby made in the interest Of
the farmers Of the state, on the plea that
there is uniairness in exempting manufac-
turing enterprises from taxation, while the
farming interest receives no exemption.
Now as a rule, we do not favor the exemp-
ton Of any class Of property from bearing
its fair share Of the burdens Of the state.
And we should be among the last to wish to
see any wel-established business enterprises
escape from such just tribute. But that is
not the object Of the law in question. Its
aim is to bring into the state investments Of
capital that will in time pay taxes, and
from the nature Of the case must pay large
sums in this way, if the industries they sup
port are successful. II is simply tempo
rary indulgence, extended during the first
years Of business undertakings while they
are struggling with the early difficulties
which, almost without exception. bcset all
such undertakings, and while, therefore,
they are yielding little or no profit. 1t is
really in the nature Of a bounty ON the
bringing of large sums into our state to be
so invested as to benefit every existing in
terest, and eventually TO tighten the burden
of taxation upon every species Of property.
1t is well known that one Of the grieyous
complaints Of our farmers is the lack Of a
home market, and it might naturally be sup
posed that the law as it stands was really a
farmers movement" looking to the devel-
opement Of such markets. Such is its real
effect, so far as it is effective at ALL and We
have good reason to believe that ii has al
ready done no little towards promoting man.
ufacturing enterprise in different parts OF
the state.
Now are not the farmers, II any such there
are, who seek to repeal this law, euacting
the part of the foolish boy who, as the well
known fable relates, killed the goose that
laid him golden eggs Such would seem tc
be the case, and iii to be hoped that a sobei
second thought will lead every one to taxi
this sensible view Of the matter.

4 southern correspondent of the New
York Herdh takes pains to tell how Louisi-
ana was "redeemed from radical rule
at the recent elections and the process is
about as creditable to the party as the funny
O. story these same papers tell Of the
Alabama negroes running about after the
election, to secure good masters inferring
from the success OF their old oppressors that
they were again TO be reduced to slavery
BY the Herdlfs correspondent it seems that
these dreadful radicals had sent "federal
soldiers registering through the state behind
federal marshals, tearing innocent, but sus-
pected gentlemen from their homes and
families, and by high-handed terrorism driy-
ing timid whites by the thousand to the
bayous and morasses," and all that sort Of
thing. This is all over now, we hope and
presume, for the conservatives claim COM
plete victory. The correspondent explains
how the victory was won, and boasts that
the colored voters made regular stampede
from the radical to the democratic side.
Here is one of the arguments that pre-
vailed with the colored brother
The course OF the whites in generally
agreeing to cease employing colored radicals
was another wedge that widened the breach
between the white and black Republicans.
The blacks saw that the cotton presses, the
sugar mills, the steamship lines, the railroads,
the cane and cotton fields, the boundaries,
shops and factories, were owned almost en-
tirely by the whites, to whom they must
look for that sustenance which they could
not get in politics. The same
course was pursued in the parishes. White
leaguers met the overtures of the blacks in
a generous spirit, protected them from yio-
lence at the polls, and pledged them employ
ment for the future. These are the secrets
of the campaign in few words.
The correspondent also adds that Gov.
Kellogg was much astonished at the result,
but did not blame the negroes, since the
fear of losing their situations and the spectre
of starving children had driven them TO vote
with the democrats.
This tells the whole story. The negro
had two roads before him-to vote the dem
ocratic ticket or see his family starye. And
this is Boosted of as successful democratic
policy. What would the leading men Of
the party say if the Republican manufactur
ers in this part Of the country We're to re
quire their men to vote as the employers de
sired, or be discharged from work Wouldn'
there be how'll Rather.
We hope, for the sake of the negroes, tina
the promises Of employment made in Louisi
ana will be faithfully carried out but W
have little faith that they will The part,
or man who viii make starvation the penalt,
Of refusing to vote a certain way, is not bur
dened with conscience enough to care mucl
about the tools he has used after his objec
has been accomplished.

The Elections Yesterday.

The joint assembly finished up its work
for the session yesterday, by electing the
remaining list Of officers. The report Of its
doings will be found in our regular pro
ceedmgs.
Judge Bailey has made a good railroad
commissioner and was very properly re-
elected.
DR.. Atwater, the newly elected commits
sioncr Of the insane, is a skilful and rising
physician of Burlington, who has devoted
considerable time and study to the treatment
Of the insane His selection is q judicious
one, and we predict that he win make a
capital and popular officer.
Charges Of irregularity in the use Of funds
received for the labor Of conyicts in the
state prison undoubtedly had the effect Of
making a change in the office Of Superin-
dtendcnt Mr.. Bailey. the new Superinten-
ent, is the present member from Windsor,
and has an excellent reputation as a man Of
business capacity and probity.
In the election of the directors Of the state
prison. and trustees Of the reform school, the
Legislature adopted the somewhat doubtful
principle Of dropping two Of the old board,
retaining only one. The selections made,
however were admirable, and the new Off

and intelligently. The election Of Messrs

A Threatening Future.

Among the most troublesome and danger
Gus questions to be met by the democratic
party, on assuming control in Congress, will
be the Southern problem, which has proved
so difficult of adjustment by the Republi-
cans, and so fruitful a source of criticism to
the democrats. The turbulence and unrest
Of the South win not await the actual as
sumption of power by the yictors. The
mere fact of democratic success will quicken
the worst elements into pestilent activity,
just as the first sunshine Of spring warns
the viper into new life. These vicious
forces cannot be controlled The wary lead
ers among the democracy may undertake, as
a matter Of prudent policy, to repress their
outbursts, but they will break through all
restraints. The malignant spirit is in them,
and it viii come out. These mischieyous
and unruly elements constitute large part
Of the strength of the party, and they will
battle all skin and moderation Of manage
ment. The democratic party has always
submitted to the domination of the South.
Hope Of sympathy and help from Northern
democrats melted the rebellion. They EN-
barrassed the government during the war.
They have greatly impeded the process Of
reconstruction. The same spirit still lives,
and will manifest itself in Congress more
emphatically than before just the worst
influences dominated the party last winter,
and made Fernando Wood the candidate for
Speaker And so they will assert them
selves now, in hazardous, offensive and VIC
lent measures The democracy Of the coun-
try is ruled by the Southern and Western
wing, and that is Of the worst type. In this
view of the case, however charitable and
hopeful We may endeavor to be- it seems in
eyitable that the fruits Of reconstruction are
imperilled through the late elections, and the
ISSUES of the war, instead Of being closed as
we had hoped forever, enter upon new
chapter.

SHAKER AGGRRssToN.-Thiss singular sect
are giving signs of speedy exchange of
their old-time passive policy for one in con
fonnity to the active spirit of the age. A
convention is to be held at Steinway Hall,
New York, next Sunday, and the object of
the meeting is understood to be to institute
arrangements and perfect measures for the
spread of the creed they call their own and
leaders Of the body are likewise DESTROYS of
making more extensively known their pecu.
liar tenets and familiarizing the people
with their belief. According to popular
theory the Shakers are opposed to matri-
mony but the elders are fast spreading the
information that such is not the case, They
insist that the adoption of their gospel will
bring about the millennium, and the world
will see no more death, war or poverty.
Prosperity and peace shall reign every
where Elder Evans, the head of the com
munity established at Lebanon, believes
the Shakers will, at day not far dis,
tant oyerspead the world. The society,
he claims, are working for two great OBJ
jeets which are kept constantly in view
"a new earth and new heaven, which
shall combine government strictly repub-
liean and an ownership in the land by all its
inhabitants. All civil offices shall be filled
with intellectual celibates Of both sexes
when the Shakers doctrine is universally
established The social evil is to disappear
from view, like drunkenness, and reproddc-
ton will go on according 10 law. Agrieul-
tural and manufacturing employments will
be performed by cooperation. The present
goyernment-that is, the Shaker SYSTEMS
to form the beginning Of the new life which
is TO regenerate the world. Heretofore the
nations have been furnishing for light and
knowledge. The convention TO assemble at
Steinway Hall will do all in its power To
satisfy these demands.

The Interpretation.

Because the Republican party, reposing
in conscious strength and fancied security,
has been surprised with disastrous reverses,
is no good reason for surprising that it is
about to be consigned to a premature grave.
When the disasters of Bull Run came upon
the country, in all their terrible magnitude
we did not throw down our arms and give
up the cause as lost but on the other hand
We aroused ourselves to fuller comprehen-
sion of the magnitude Of the crisis, girded
ourselves up with larger armies and intensi-
fed viii. and entered upon the war with an
intelligence and eamestncss quite in contrast
to the dress-parade, flourish with which We
had gone out to put down this "ninety days"
unpleasantness. And so it ought to be. and
will be, with the Republican party. Re
peated successes had made us forgctful Of the
vital principles which had called the party
into being, and careless Of that proud name
which could boast a record Of achievements
inferior to no political organization that
ever preceded it. But men sought under its
protection, political preferment which they
did not deserve. The army Of mprincipled
office seekers that hang upon the party
in power, has brought upon it odum and
disgrace. 1t has been made to carry a load
greater than it could bear; and this disas-
trous defeat, though undeserved, will be to
the party another Bull Run, and awaken it
from its sluggish ways to a fuller realization
of its duties. There have been many vexa-
tious questions resulting from the war,
which the Republican party has been called
upon to settle. That reconstruction in the
southern states has not been effected as
speedily and tremendously as the people de
sired, must be admitted, but that any party
could have resolved the difficult problem
better, we have our doubts. The democrat
ic Congress which will come into power on
the itll Of next March, will have a chance tc
try its hand at this legislation, and if the
country does not become heartily sick of it,
management within the next two years
then we shall be willing to accord to it
! ability and virtue that its record does moi
show Before the Presidential canvass %
1876, the people who have now helped t.
swell the democratic majorites, will b,
ready to renew their allegiance to the Re
publican party, which has done more for ad
vancemcnt and reform than any political or
ganization that ever had an existence.
But to ensure a Republican triumph a
the next Presidential election, the lesson
taught by our present defeat must not b
lost We must have an honest government
What power is still left to the party mus
be devoted to the true policy Of its organi
cation. 1t must labor to restore the public
faith by redeeming its pledges and standing
fast by its principles. Purged from man,
of the evils that have brought it into dis
favor, it will yet arise with mission to ful
fill, that will add new lustre to recorC
made brilliant by its great achievements
and still deserve the blessings of the coun
try and all humanity.

steps have now been taken in the chief suits
growing out Of the Beecher-Tilton scandal,
and recall to the public mind topic that
had been almost entirely thrust out of sight
The suit for damages that Tilton has
brought against Beecher now awaits the de
cision OF a side issue, as to the furnishing
of "bill Of particulars" in case this
should be allowed. there will be further and
probably long delay il denied, it would
seem quite possible that the case might go
on at once, though everything indicates a
purpose on the part of Beecher's lawyers to
staye OF the final trial as long as possible
Meanwhile Moulton pleads not guilty TO the
criminal indictment in which he is charged
with libeling Miss Proctor, his defense rest
ing on two groandsi first, that he did not
mention Miss Proctors name; and, second,
that all he told about the lady assumed to be
Miss Proctor was told 10 him by Mr..

CuRE FOR DIrnrnERIA.-The ravages il
Australia have been so extensive within the
last few years that the Government offered a
large reward for any certain method of cure
This remedy had been kept secret until the
reward was offered The use OF sulphuric
acid, of which four drops are diluted in
three-fourths of tumbler of water, to be
given a sip at time, as OTTER as they wish,
for a grown person. A smaller dose TO a
child. The result is said to be a coagula-
ton of the diphthertic membrane and its
ready removal by coughing. 1t is said that
when the case thus treated had not advanced
to nearly fatal termination, the patient re-
covered in almost every instance
