REVENUE REFORM.

We commend the following, from an
Illinois exchange, to our legislators
elect:
"Our Revenue law is tissue of absurdi-
ties, devised under the insane idea that per-
sonal property has been, or can be, reached
for taxable purposes by any mode of valua-
ton. The law bristles with penalties and
oaths, and provides for inquisitorial vista
tons and summary proceedings, all OF which
are dead letters on the statute book The
fact is, that the proportion Of the wealth Of
the State invested in personal property is
steadily on the increase, and yet the pro-
portion OF That property found by the As
SCISSOR and made to pay taxes annually d.
minishes. We have hopes that the mem
hers of the next Legislature from this coun-
ty will give this important subject their
earnest attention, and that they may be
able to unite upon some plan OF remedying
the defects Of the present law and urge it
upon the Legislature.
Now, poor devil of farmer, with
his farm mortgaged. for all it would sell
for at forced sale, and
in debt to merchants and
machine men, for more than his per-
sonal property is worth, pays nearly
the whole burden of supporting gov.
eminent, while the man Of wealth, the
money lender, goes almost scot-free.
s'To him that hath shall be given, and
from him that hath not shall be taken
even that which he hath.

THE LAST CHANCE.

When the Southern political ms, who
had controlled Buchanan's administra-
ton, found that the Republicans were
certainly coming into power, they made
the last few months of their reign, be-
tween Nov. 1860, and March, 4, 1861,
famous fer their reckless rascalities.
They stole everything they could lay
their hands upon.
History, we fear, is about to repeat
itself. The Kings and Ben. Buffers Of
the Republican party are aware that
this is their last chance, and they are
evidently prepared to take advantage
of it.
We copy the following:
Washington special 10Th to Chicago Tribune.
1t is becoming daily more and more evi.
dent that the Pacific Mail Company are pre-
pairing to besiege Congress tn great force
this aointer, in the hope of securing renew
al, as well as an increase of their lapsed SUBJ
sidy. They have spared no pains in the last
few months to throw such influences around
Congress as would effectually serve their
purposes.
And again. in a late number of the
St. Paul Pioneer, letter from Wash
ington correspondent, we find this
item -
Gen. Rosser, of the N. P. R. R., will prob
ably spend the winter here. 1t is not IN
likely that in the impending struggle 70,

be represented. Nor is it impossible that
many Representatives, ,rho retire to thu
shades of private life on the fourth Of Murcl
merit, will be inclined to more than custom
airy liberality with the members of the
''third house, - who will certainly muster il
unusual torce this winter.
All the people can do will be to hole
their breath and trust in God. If there
is anything left when the Republican!
get through, it will be because, as Rot
Roy used to say, sit was too hot or too
heavy to steal.'' The only thing Rol
left behind him, on ore Of his raids
was stack of hay, and he apologizet
for not taking that, because it was OF
fire.! If Bill King had been there, h
would have issued bonds on that hay
stack, and got the government to guar
antee the payment Of them. But thel
the human mind has reached higl
stage of perfection since Rob's day
and it is not right to expect too mucl

The most shameful attempt to sup
press the liberty of the press ever
known since the nation was founded, is
the Poland gag.law. which now dis
graces our statute-book. The Chicago
Tribune, (Republican,) says of it:
Judge Poland can hardly be ignorant Of

THEIR LAST TRIUMPH.

We have every reason for believing
that the Republican party has won its
last victory in Minnesota. Usually the
aggregate vote for President far exceeds
the vote in all other years. For in
stance, in 1873, last year, it was, in
Minnesota, 1876 less than in the Pres
idential election in the preceding year.
1t should have been about the same this
year, but instead of that 1t exceeded the
rOte in the Presidential contest 791.
That is to say, the total vote cast for
President was 90.910. This year the
total vote cast was 91,710. The Repub.
licans robbed the cradle and the grave
to save their Congressman. And see At
what cost they saved them. The fol-
lowing are the majorities for the Repub-
Ican candidates for Congress in 1872
and 1874:

and Austin as an important element to-
beat Ramsey-our hands are tied-law
and Justice are with you, and under

HARD TIMES.

Hard times, hard times everywhere.
Debt, taxation, high rates of inter-
est, high prices for goods, and low
prices for wheat. And in the midst of
it all the Railroad corporations, taking
advantage of the closing Of the winter,
and the freezing Of canals and rivers,
raise the rates Of transportation and
decrease the price of wheat foe cents
per bushel. The various railroad com.
panies, by their agents, met In Chicago,
Nov. 18th. and agreed upon these
rates:

THE RUTLAND DAILY GLOBE MORNING. AUGUST H. 1874

Library Hall last Monday evening, the
delegates chosen being solid for Joyce.
The Gazette (Wilard) is feeling rather
down hearted, and seeks TO "arouse the
republicans from their lcthargy" by gen
eral condemnation of the proceedings at
sad caucus. Now nothing, there done,
can be justly claimed as unfair to
the Willard party, as everything was fairly
and squarely voted, and no such claims are
set up except by the Gasette, which, doubt
less, from the fact that the Office which
was few weeks since quite plainly in
view has gradually been sinking below the
horizon, until now it is scarcely discern-
bic in The far distance, and thinking posi-
bly, to regain The lost ground, it takes its
present course. 1t expresses its disgust
for the Joyce party in the following cx-
pressive language "Thc crusade against
MIR. Willard is not waged by an afflicted
people, but by crowd of defeated, dis
gruntled, sorc-hcaded politicians, who have
the unblushing effrontery to proclaim their
dolngs the peoples acts, and their nefa-
rious Vaccinations as the plans of an out
ragged constituency"
But all such productions amount to
scarcely anything more than waste of
printers ink, if anything they, being ex-
pressions SO utterly ridiculous and uncallcd
for in this campaign serve 10 help Joyce
Now the people of this part of the district,
in great messuie, feel that Mr.. Willard
has seryedfong enough not that any par
ticuar fault can be found with him, but
that there are Others equally as able TO fill
the place, who are justly entitled to a
chance. Southern Vermont feels that if
there is to he change it should furnish
the man. and that man shall be Col. Chas
II. Joyce; few better than he are to be
found.
The statement made that if he gets the
nomination it will be through the aid Of the
democrats, is untrue. BY referring to
the press it will be readily seen who is sup
ported by the democratic papers.
There is no doubt but that Bennington
county will do its share toward securing for
Col. Joyce the nomination next Wednes-
day he is sure to get it. REPUBLICAN,.

'rssE NATIONAL GAME.


The announcement that the Independents
would play the Blue Stockings of West
Rutland did not fail to attract a large con
course of spectators to the scene of action
on Saturday of last week No fewer than
300 were seated upon the hill overlooking
the grounds and the thirty carriages proved
that no small number were enticed from a
distance by the prospects of fine game.
For some time it was feared the people
would be DISAPPOINTED as the Independents
refused to consent to the under-throw of
the Blue Stockings, but after considerable
chaffering it was agreed to play friendly
game and at two o'clock the Independents
went TO the bat.
The Blue Stockings labored under some
disadvantage, if as they claimed, they had
not practiced the national pitch but had
taken the liberty given to amateur clubs
and had adopted tue under-throw.
When the Blue Stockings took the bat
and Langdon began passing the balls the
umpire barred him from further work
under the plea that he was practising the
undcr-throw. Two referees were appoint
ed but their decision was not called for and
Langdon was not again interrupted. 1t was
notifying to Langdon to be placed in such
a position, as the reputation which he holds
of being the best and squarest pitcher in
the state should have shielded him from
such evident wrong. 1t may have been
that the umpire considered the velocity
with which the balls passed his station in
consistent with square pitching, but had
the game been closer one his surprise
would have been changed to amazement.
In his field decisions the umpire was
honest and impartial and performed his
duties to the perfect satisfaction of all.
The Blue Stockings exhibited some fine
playing, Murphy being especially brilliant
as LIST baseman Mead in ceAtre field made
his fine running catches and Hchir took
one difficult foul fly.
The Independents played well with the
exception of little bad throwing. Lang
don's pitching was as usual the bug bear as
the small score of testilles.
We trust that when the Baxter nine is
fully organized they will come to Castle
ton and we assure them gcntlemanly treat
ment and ''foemen worthy of their steel.

M0ulton Before the Committee.

New York, Aug 10.
Brooklyn Eagle extra issued tonight
says Francis ID. Moulton appeared before
the Plymouth investigating committee this
afternoon. lie read to them very short
statement which Is TO be kept private I'M
til tomorrow morning. The Eagle, how
ever, ascertained that ii is favorable to Mr..
Beecher. Mr. Moulton disclaims having
any testimony in his possession confirma-
tory of Tlton's charges. He said that he
was prepared to submit to the committee
originals of the letters cited by
Mr.. Tlton in his statement, but
apart from doing that, he had no statement
TO make. His position in this business, he
added, had been that of peacemaker, and
that role he proposed to adhere TO, of the
gossip that lad come TO his ears in any way
he had resolved to say nothing. If Becchcr
and Tilton were determined to fight he
could not prevent them, but he was re-
solved to add no fuel to the flames.
The above statement is given as an offset
to that of the Argus report sent this even
ing. 1t will be remembered that the Eagle
has been a staunch defender of Beechcr all
along, while the Argus is generally regard
ed as equally friendly to Tilton.

morrow.
