of the state rather than TO save few dol
lars for his own pocket, when these two
things come in direct conflict as in this
case. Allusion has been made in some pa
pors TO the action Of the State Treasurer in
this matter; but we have reason TO believe
from personal inquiry that he had no inter-
est in the matter and did not use his innu
ence against the passage of the law.
AS 1t was often minated in tho last po-
litlcal campaign in Drattloboro, aud repeat
cd more or less through the state, that the
savings banks were opposed TO being tax
ed, we may state from personal knowledge
that four Of the savings banks in the state
at least, and these holding large MAORI
ty Of the amount deposited, were fully in
favor of the law as passed by the House of
Representatives-tho Vermont Savings
Bank of this place sending man on pur-
pose to aid in securing the passage of the
law. The officers of savings banks have
no personal motives in the matter, and de-
sire only that the best thing for all con-
cerned should, If possible, be brought
about, while the trust companies, from
strictly personal and selfish motives, strove
hard to keep over $4,000 annually, for the
next twoyears at least, in their pockets. 1t
is believed that the action of Senators and
others referred to will not be forgotten by
voters at the next bi-annual election.

Modelling with the Tariff.

Much fault has been found of late with
the action of the committee on the revis-
ion and codifcation of the United States
statutes, in reference to the tariff laws. On
Saturday last the Boston Globe contained
the following paragraph, made up, we
judge, from figures published on the pre-
ceding day in the N. Y. Times -
Judge Poland's committee, appointed,
last year, for the revision of the tariff laws,
seem to have exceeded the powers entrust-
ed TO and recognized by them, as limiting
their All thority, in the way they have in
creased or modified the rates of duty en-
forced on the first day of December, 1873.
They were selected for the purpose of sys-
tematizing the confused mass of legisla-
ton on the revenue laws, and arranging
the statutes, which had hitherto been in
perplexing disorder. 1t was not expected,
however, either by Congress or the coun-
try, that they would go beyond the work of
putting these laws into Ineligible shape.
That express pledge made by the commit
tee not to vary the legal effect OF existing
statutes by the use OF new words in their
revision, was accompanied by an implied
pledge that !the rates Of duty which had
been so long in force should not be dmin-
ished or increased by their action. 1t Is
obvious that a change in the interprSta-
ton of the stat utes would have practically
the same effect as the adoption of new rates
of duty, and the pledge of the committee
would be as plainly violated by the one act
as by the other. Importers and consum-
ers whose interests are affected by the
change are naturally surprised by 1t. The
rates for manufactures of silk and cotton
of which cotton is the chief value have
been raised from thirty-tive per cent to tif-
ty per cent, and on some articles the in
crease is as high as seventy-tive per cent.
Certainly the country and the importers
seem entitled to an explanation by the
committee or the Secretary OF the Treasu-
ry of the action, which is in direct contra
diction TO the understanding and agree

The Work OF the Legislature.

We publish this week, in the form of
supplement, such of the laws passed by
the Legislature at its recent session, as are
of general nature. As has been remark
ed by cotemporary, the Legislature has
done some foolish things, but one redeem
ing feature is the fact that it has, by pass
ing the railroad tax act, added to the taxa
BILE property of this State the neat little
sum of 100000, which will atone for
many faults. The bill against travelling
liquor agents, attaching severe penalties TO
the soliciting or taking orders for liquors
from houses without the State, passed both
Houses and became a law, but otherwise
the liquor law received little tinkering.
The movement for a state police received
little attention, and will probably not be
heard of again.
Tho morrill, back pay BILL" having
passed the Senate with provision that
the money be returned TO the United States
treasury, while the House insisted that 1t
be returned TO Mr.. Morrill,, went 10 COM
mittee of conference, from which it never
emerged. This leaves the money where
Mr.. Morrill, put it, in the State treasury.
1t Is worthy of note, how little of the
work kindly cut out for the last Legisla-
ture in advance of their meeting, Was done
by them. 1t was to DO an important part
of their business, according 10 certain per-
sons and papers, to overhaul the railroads
in general, and the Central in particular.
They were also expected, among other
things, to overhaul the Insane Asylum
and put it under different supervision TO
establish a Reform School for girls TO ere
ate State Police to reorganize the SUI
preme Court by dropping one judge, and
dividing his pay among the other six ; and
to enact divers anG sundry other measures,
of less consequence. But tho Central got
no overhauling, nor any other railroad,
except the Delaware and Hudson and
that was not interfered with by any adj
verse legislation. The Hyde" bill rogu-
lating freight rates for that road, took up a
good deal of time but it did not become a
law. The Asylum got no oyerhaulIng 10
speak of, and remains under the same SUI
pervision as before. No Reform School
for girls was made. No change was made
in the number or salary of the judges.
The proposition to lessen the number of
the judges, was a decidedly popu lar one
among the members but the committee
reported against ii and their report killed
the bill.
On the whole the Legislature OF "A will
be better remembered for what it didn't do
than for what it did-and that, perhaps, is
praise enough.

M. Editor: If you think n brief ac-
count Of the Convention of tho Y. NJ. c.
Associations aud churches of the State,
held in Norwich last week, is worthy Of
place in your paper, here 1t is.
A good number of pastors and delegates
were present and tho meetings, in spite of
the snow storm, were well attended. The
feeling has been deepening with some of
our Christian workers that canvass OF the
State, such rs has been made in Massachu-
sets and New Hampshire, should be cnter-
cd upon here. To help do this we lad with
us six of the best men for this purpose,
probably, to he found in this part of the
country. They were Morse of New York,
bennington, Moore aud Shaw of Massa-
chusetts, Folger and Critchett of New
Hampshire. They were full Of iiro of the
right kind, and they could speak of what
they had seen with their own eyes, for
they arc all in the work. After listening
to their burning words it was very clear
our orders were TO 90 forward. Anexecu-
tive committee of five was appointed,
whose names will appear in the papers.
About 1850 was pledged on the spot by per-
sons from different parts of the State TO
carry on the work, and when volunteer
workers were called for, the response was
hearty from those who promised to give
time as well as money. Some pledged thir-
ty days, others twenty or ten, as they
thought they could afford; and there was
promptness in these pledges which in
Dictated that they meant business. Wind
ham county was not largely represented in
the convention, but the committee are on
the track of some of the Christian workers
in this part of the Slate, aud we hope they
will give an encouraging response to any
call for help that may be sent to them. Is
there town where the people do not
desire a visit from some of these men? Is
there pastor or Christian layman who
will not give them a hearty welcome? We
hope not. Five hundred conversions and
fifty new Sabbath schools in New llamp-
shire are some Of the fruits of the canvass
! in that State during the past year; and
why may we not expect even rtater re-
suits this side the river? ASA.
