in the various races, the first two being on
Wednesday,, and the others on Thursday.
The judges were Messrs. George Davis
Of East Montpelier, A. o. Cummings of
East Montpelier, and Aaron II. Smith of
Granville. The marshals, and they kept
things in good shape, too, were Messrs. A.
F. Downing, John II. Jones, and George
T. G. Wheaton of Barre.
In the race won by Quickstep there
was good trotting, and though she won in
three straight heats, she was closely fol-
lowed by "Ltly" and " In and Oat.'
One horse, Spruce, was ruled out Wednes-
day, having made race before i'll time
that disqualified: so said the judges.
The severe showers of Thursday after
noon somewhat interfercd with the dry
ness of the occasion, and followed up many
of the spectators after the trotting was

The practical operation of the new news
paper postage law is to transfer the pay
ment of postage from the receiving sub
scribers to the sending publishers, and
reduce it about one half. Thus, while the
subscribers to the Republican haze paid
Sl.20 year for postage on the daily. and
20 cents year for postage on the weekly.
the publishers will, after the first of Jan
uary next, pay the same at the rate of
about 10 cents Il year for the weekly and
some notifications will probably be made
in the prices of papers sent to subscribers

TIE SANBORA CONTRACTS.

The Sanborn contracts which have recent
" created considerable commotion were made
under authority of an amendment to az APP
preparation bill Of 1872, which provided that
the Secretary OF the Treasury might contract
with three persons to assist the proper officers
Of the Treasury in collecting unpaid taxes.
Under the provisions Of the Law contracts
we're made With John Sanbo7n of Massa-

fiibuster steamer Edgar Stewart.
Some of the Senators are opposed to the
Senate taking part in the investigation OF the
affairs of the Government of the District OF
Columbia not only on account of the pressure
of committee business, but because 1t Is
thought the House Select Committee is suf-
ficiently able to conduct the investigation
without the concurrence of the Senate.
Mr.. Dawes has been requested by several
congressman of prominence to introduce
resolution fixing the day Of the adjournment
of this session Of Congress at about the middle
of May. Mr.. Dawes, after considering the
subject, has decided to &C. in accordance with
this suggestion.
The workngmen's associations OF the coun-
try are making a denomination upon Con.
gress in opposition to the suspension OF work
upon public buildings, AMI their opposition
doubtless will have much effect. Representa-
tives from various sections are in receipt OF
numerous letters from the officers of these
associations, protesting against the reduction
of the appropriations and the suspension of
work on the ground that such legislation on
the part of Congress would tend TO create
distress among the labo,ing classes. AMI to
perpetuate the panic.
A Washington special 10 the journal CT
Commerce says that the Secretary Of the
Treasury says up to Feb. lst there was de-
felt of S39 900, 900 with five months OF the
fiscal year to run, hut he will certainly be en-
abled to wipe out $9,00o,0 600 of this by the
present encouraging increase of revenues,
leaving a deficit of $50, 100000. mainly by
reason of the sinking fund required by law
He opposes any further initiation Of the cur
rency or increase of debt by new loan of
any character. Instead, he advises an increase
of taxes on spirits and tobacco. He says one
dollar gallon on spirits and 92 cents pound
on tobacco would bring in the 100000, 600.

general contracts, giving Sanborn and the
other parties authority to bring proceedings
at their discretion. Most Of the collections
have been made by Sanborn an1 his agents,
and thus far all the charges of Irregular or
fraudulent proceedings are directed against
him rather than other parties having similar
contracts. The collections made by Sanoofn
amount to 100000 or more, on which ne
has been allowed fifty per cent, or more 'hah
5000, 900, as his share Of the collections. IL
is rather a violent supposi,ion says the times
that Sanborn has received all OF 'his SZVo',
600 himself and some of the charges OF fraud
are evidently Of general nature, growing
out of curiosity to know where the moietits
have gone. After all that has been said
about these contracts there is no evidence
yet made public which shows that any frauds
have been committed.
Farther information will soon be had.
placing the facts more clearly before the
public.

THE FRAMING PRITXEGE.

We trust that all efforts in Congress TO
restore the ranking privilege will meet
with prompt defeat. The repeal was Il
salutary act, called for by decided popular
expressions. which it would be we'll for
Congress to keep in mind in dealing with
the question should it be presented for
their action While it is true that the
freest communication possible should be
allowed between members of Congress
and their constituents, it is also true that
the. privilege of the frank was so loaded
with abuse, that it was better to part with
the benefits it conferred rather than con-
tinue them under the necessity of also
continuing the abuses that had grown and
fastened themselves upon the franking
privilege. Any act which would be q
step toward the restoration of the wrongs
of the old system should be promptly and
unequivocally opposed by the republicans
in Congress. They will be held response
BILE for any such measure should it succeed
IN Receiving passage. Ane JuoS lhehe VI
the country has met with no change in re-
gard to the propriety Of abolishing the
frank. We have no doubt that the opposi-
tion in Congress will do what they can con-
yeniently and safely to reinstate franking
again, but it is wiser to leave them stand
ing, alone in support of it than to lend
them helping hand. We have full faith
that the rumors sent abroad from WASH
ington announcing that the privilege is to
be restored are utterly groundless, and
that no step will be taken which approxi-
mates to a return to the corrupt system,
the overturn of which was one of the wise
acts Of the republican party.
