Crime in Vermont.

1t is not pleasant thing TO think or talk
about; but it is not best to ignore the fact
that the worst crimes are getting very COM
mon in our state. Two murders in st. Adams
in one week-one Of them the most at,ocious
and cruel-an outrage scarcely less alarm.
ing in Rutland the same week, are facts
to startle the most lcthargic. And these
are not isolated cases Of crime murder, out
rage and robbery, have been OF growing fire.
quency in our state for several years.
What is the cause, and what the remedy ?
We believe that when criminals are undis.
covered, or whore punishment is deferred or
prevented, there crimes are contagious. 1t
is notorious that the authors Of the worst
crimes are not appreheuded or if appre-
hended, they do not pay the just penalty OF
their deeds. Take St. Adams for instance,
as all eyes are turned that way just now /:
Only few months ago physician Of the
place was called up in the night to 60 on an
errand Of mercy to sick patient; and when
he responded he was murderously assaulted
10 most cowardly manner. That he sur
vivod the attack scarcely lessons the crime.
The pcrpstrator has not been arrested, nor
are we aware that he is known. A few
days ago stranger aud a foreigner passed
through the town. Without provocation he
Was set upon by two or three men aud kill
cd. His body was hardly cold before an
estimabe young lady in the same town,
while passing to neighbours on an after
noon, was outraged aud cruelty murdered
For the protection Of the community at
large, and the future peace Of the state, no
efforts should be spared to bring the perPe-
traitors Of these crimes to justice. If justice
does not overtake these villains speedily, we
may expect this epidemic Of crime to spread
into other portions Of the state.-CaiedOni-

The numerous conventions aud their dec
larations of principles, the long address of
the republican congressional committee
which we gave last week, and such political
speeches as the late one Of Senator Morton,
are fit subjects for the American voter to
make note of before carrying his ballot to
the polls the coming fall The republican
party has held the government for fourteen
years, and of course as an organization
which gives its members high political places
it has, 10 the sight Of those who hold those
places or expect to get them by its aid.
claims upon all who ever belle iged to it.
But the voter himself is inclined to look
about a great deal this year, and if he votes
the republican ticket it will be for other aud
better reasons than that ofIice.holders or
office.seekers wish for his ballot.-Green

Editor ofthe Vermont Farmer -

Editor of the Vermont Farmer -
There is growing Indifference in many
parts Of the state among the people rs to the
utility Of following the party leaders through
thick and thin, and the stand taken for Col.
Mead in the second district is an excmplii-
cation Of this feeling. Tho cry that all 10
rotten in politics, both parties alike, and
there is no help for it, will not be taken for
granted much longer, but the demand is
made for honesty and purity. justice and
strict integrity, in those who fill places Of
power and profit within the gin OF the peo-
plo, and tho time is coming very soon in
Vermont when elections cannot he controll-
ed by the manipulations and snap games OF
inscriptions politicians.
Col. Mead may be defeated, hut there will
be ball set in motion that will continue to
move on until political tricksters will find
that their influence will only harm what
they wish to help, for tho people are right,
and when convinced that fraud or wrong
is being imposed upon them will rectily the
same, and those who stand in the way must
20 down, be thoy whomsoever they may hap
pen TO lie. 1t was SO in 20 and 81, and il
will ever bo thus. Therefore it lms been
started here in Vcrmont--the people Us. pol

will succeed, although defeated Mt first.

Anonymous Slanderers.

There is not to-day connected with the
public press more cowardy and des'
picabe character than the anonymous SLAM
derer. The masked gentleman Of the road
risks personal encounter when he COM
mands you to "stand aud deliver" The anon
ymous slanderer stabs u reputation, covers
with venom aud filth a mans name and
skulks away hiding his name behind
a cowardly nom de pkume. We believe it
due to the dignity Of the editorial profession
that this bushwhacking class of writers be
driven to seek a hearing only where the
moral responsibility of the position of editor
is not understood. For the editor to de.
mand the name as an evidence of good faith
is not enough. Let every personal commu-
nication bear the writer's full name. This
places responsibility where 1t belongs aud
community will no longer stand in fear Of
the vulgar scurriity of irresponsible men
who for personal pique or hope Of gain, po-
litical or pecunlary, are able to attack and
injure tho best of citizens. The public
press cannot afford to be the protector Of
sneak thieves Of this character. When men
wish to make personal charges, whether
against public officer, n candidate, or
private citizen, let his full name and resi-.
dencs appear with the printed commuuica-
ton. The editor who shields aud assists a
newspaper correspondent to attack or de-
stroy another becomes party to the COW
ardly crime aud deserves the condemnation
OF fair and honorable men.-KaRSaS Farm.

The New Haven Palladium saysthat
M. BARITONE, widower of New Orr
leans, with son and daughter, in 1852
married a beautiful Creole girl in that
city and sent his children to school in
New York. In about q year he was
brought to deaths door By poison. adj
ministered at the hands oil his wife,
who fled to Paris with paramour,
taking much of her husbands property
with her. The latter, however, recov-
cred and at once sought for his chill
dren. He sought in vain, because the
girl had married and gone, and the
son, after leading a somewhat reckless
life, had enlisted in the army and dis
appeared. 4
The father settled in Brooklyn and
after amassing large property died,
leaving the bulk of it in trust for his
children. There children, who are
William Rathbonc, of New Haven,
and Mrs. Edwards, Of Newark, N.
j., afterwards appeared and received
their parents legacy. That parent
had also left handsome sum with the
city Treasurer of Brooklyn in trust for
his runaway wife who had so nearly
killed him. The children, some
months since, learned that the Creole
wife, after living some time in Paris,
had returned to New Orleans, where
she established a famous house of ill
repute, and that she had died there in
1873. They therefore applied to tho
firm of A. ID. s. r. l.. Penny, Of New
Haven, to get possession of the un-
claimed legacy. Proofs of the Creole
women's death were produced, suit
brought, and the money handed over to
the children.

This woman was born at Tunis; heI

she seems to have invented out of hel

before. s{ r15 Ia
1t is not French name, and 1t car
scarcely be an Arab name. However
that goes for nothing. Her adventure
