A SUCCESSFUL merchant tailor OF
New York managed to fit all his
customers by possessing the eye OF
an artist. "Iou must see your sub
ject walk, sit, stand and gesticulate, F"
said he, "when you take his dilnen
sions." Would that some of our
bootmakers would take leaf out of
this tailor's book, and have their
souls in their work. The poor pill
grim with his bunion, the I'M
happy Egyptian with his corn, would
than have all their sorrows healed,
take up their canes and walk, and
defy the chiropodists.

But while our political opponents in

chosen to RAISE another issue upon which

nominating their respectable candidate for

TrnE WESTERN RAILWAY SUITS.

The recent arrest Of conductor on the
West Wisconsin railroad, for charging a
higher rate of fare than was allowed by
recent act Of the legislature, his discharge
by a local justice, his re-arrest, and dismis-
saal gain by Judge Molfat has raised a
a great excitement The judge, in the
opinion, took the ground that the act was
unconstitu ional and void, nasmuch as it
prescrihes and fixes arbitrary rates of fare
without reference as to whether they are
reasonable or not. thereby impairing the
value OF vested property without providing
any compensation therefor.
it is really, apparently Of little conse-
quencc what the lower courts may decide
in this case. The defeated party will
inevitably appeal, and the law cannot be
decided, nor the parties understand their
rights, until the court of last resort has
pronounced its judgment The pending
controversy in the suits at Madison in
wolves principles of such far reaching CON
sequence that it may be said, without exag-
!
perry and railway securities in the United
States depends upon the nature Of the final
decision in this remarkable case. 1t is al
ready IN a court of United States and will
ultimately find its way to the supreme
court, the tribunal of last resort, whose de-
cision will define the limits Of state au-
thorily over railroad corporations which
are great links in the great chain of inter
state commerce,
The latest advices from the west state
that il the compliments do not object to a
proposed decree for the dismissal of the
bill, the state is disposed to cooperate in
getting case ready for determination at
the October term Of the supreme cburt of
the United States but ii is quite probable
that further argument will soon be made
on the question OF commerce between the

mate knowledge of all matters pertaining
to this section, Is of us and for us in all
things? This is the question to be consid-
cred and answered. IF the freemen of this
district will canvass the question in this
view, which Is the only really true view TO
take of the matter, there can lie but one re-
subtitle nomination of Col. Joyce--a man
of the people.
The material resources of this section
have already been too long unrepresented
The time has come when Rutland county
has, in justice, right to ask of the district
that the member of Congress be taken
from among her men, well fitted to occupy
the position. AT this time she presents
Col Charles II. Joyce and desires his NOM
nation. Mr.. Willard has had three cleo
tions-as many terms as given any of his
predecessors-and has no longer any claim
for another, and should, according to prec-
edent, give place to new man. Another
view of the question to be taken is, that
south of the geographical center of the
slulc lntIt Is DOl " StDulO1 OF member Oh
Congress, nor an important public govern
ment or state officer, on cther side of the
mountain, save judge of the supreme
court residing in Windham county and a
register in bankruptcy residing in Ben
nnglon county so that onc-half of the
state the sOuthcrn-has not an office either
in Congress or the national or state gov
ernments. Is this fair, equitable or just,
and should not this consideration have its
weight in this canvass, and should southern
Vermont fail 10 ask her Just distribution in
this regard?
Let us consider the question of member
of Congress in all its phases, and in the
light Of Justice. Let each section concede
what is fair and honorable under the cir
cumslances, laying aside all political bick-
crings and personal animositcs and rival
ries and regarding only the best interests Of
the majority Of the people and come to a
wise conclusion by sending Col Charles H.
Joyce TO represent us in Congress.

i'ssESaDENT CHANTS THIRD
TERM

The Rutland X9dW of Yesterday. in Il
ilippant article, and in somewhat super
cillious tone. gives vent to lis disgust at the
nonsense uttered by some in regard to
the probability or the possibility OF Gen.
Grant being named as a candidate tor
third term for the Presidency. So utterly
ridiculous does this idea appear to the en-
alged aud enlightened mind Of the polii-
cal seer Of the staid and steady organ of
pure and neutrality-suspicious. of which
20 its mind, we had supposed Grant formed
the principal part-that the man who even
dreams Of such thing is characterized by
him as n driveling idiot and it is more
than intimated that the President himself,
if he has ever entertained the faintest idea
of such a browning glory to his adminstra-
tive career, is but prcsumptous individ-
ual after ALL
Now, although we are well aware that
this sheet, now so shocked at the bare men
ton of this remote possibility, would be
one Of the first TO cry all hail in the event
of such a movement becoming popular
we are yet at loss to see why the Herald
should either dread ordepreca,e such con-
tingency. If Gen. Grant is really the pre-
eminent statesman he was set forth to be
in the last contest, if his administration has
given such universal satisfaction, if his
name is still necessary to the upholding of
the republican party and the maintenance
of its principles, and especially if the peo-
pie should become clamorous for his re-
nomination, why should the WeroN make
such a pother about it =? We presume it
can explain the matter in its usual lucid
style, but looked at in its present light it
appears rather foggy.

1t has been generally understood that
Tom Cree was TO have been tried at the
county court now in session at Sandy Hill,
N y, on one of the dozen indictments
which had been found against him, he hay
ing expressed desire to he tried immedi-
alely, but on being arraigned on several of
them he suddenly discovered that he was
not ready. There is much talk about Cree's
case, many entertaining the opinion that he
never will be tried. 1t is certainly singular
says the Troy Times, that so noted a crm-
inal, a man who has robbed the widow and
orphan, and who has beggared many house
holds, and who has not the show of defense
to the many charges pending against him,
should be allowed to go and come at his
pleasure. During the last session of the
court this week, and at the oyer and termi-
ner last week, Cree might have been seen
in the public streets, in hotels, in and
out of the court room, and apparently in
any other place he chose to visit. II is
said since his arrest he has only been locked
up during night. Why he is thus favored
above petty criminals is question which
remains to be answered.

third from internal taxes, two-thirds from
tariff duties. 1t is now proposed by the
Maine democracy to abolish all these
duties, have absolute "frec trade" with an
''unfettered and unrestricted commerce."
In other words, the Maine democracy pro-
poses to raise the two hundred millions of
dollars in gold coin now obtained from
tariff duties by ''direct taxation or by a
system of "eXcises" which might prove
even more oppressive than direct taxation
itself. There is no other mode open under
the constitution by which the money can
be raised than the two named, If the tariff
be abandoned, and Mr.. TitcomD declares
for direct taxation. Now il the money is
to be secured by direct taxation, as Mr..
Titcomb proposes, 1t will be fonnd to be
Names great misfortune that the Constitu-
ton requires the tax TO be levied in pro.
portion to population and not according to
wealth. BY the ninth census Maine has
about one-sixtieth of the total pop
ulation of the United States, and
he: share of two hundred mil
lions of direct taxation would be something
over three and quarter millions of dollars
in gold coin-the single congressional dis
trict whose constituents | am addressing
would be called upon for seven hundrcd
Thousand dollars. The peculiar hardship o..
raising taxes in this way is made manifest
by the simple fact that Maine would he
compelled to pay nearly one-half as much
as Massachusetts, while in fact she has but
one-seventh of the wealth of that highly
favored and prosperous commonwealth.
To properly estimals the exhaustinr and
oppressive nature of this enormous tax You
have but to consider that it would be three
times as large as the present state taX. and
would necessarily he levied in addition
thereto. But if against Mr.. Tilcomb's pol
icy the direct tax were avoided il would
be necessary to have instead of it system
