Tho Force Bill.

The fight over the fore bill in the house
was excited and protracted on Saturday,
debate, which was earnest, being inter-
spersed by motions to reconsider, to adj
Journ to fixed date, and to adjourn, which
the speaker had ruled in order after the
settlement of each definite proposition or
amendment, the democrats refusing any
compromise, even though it was suggested
by Mr.. Wood. 1t is worthy of remark
that the speeches which were looked for
with most interest were not made. Mr.
Blaine was silent, and made no attempt to
get the floor during the afternoon. Mr..
Dawes was prepared to speak, but did not
get the floor. The republican members
who were alleged to be opposed to the bill
seemed paralyzed by some influence which
kept them from earnest action, and Bntler
and his caucus contreres had their own
way. Some rather eloquent speeches were
made in favor of the bill during the after
noon. The roll was called on the ordering
of the previous question. 1t was seconded
by vote of 1873 to 10, and the previous
question was ordered by vote of 1877 to
1915. 1t was now about o'clock in the
afternoon, and an hour of debate remained
before voting on the amendments begun.
The first amendment voted on was Mr..
Buffers. This amendment provided that
the habeas corpus section should be so
amended as to limit it to such insurrec-
tonary districts, wherein the president
deems such powerful and armed combina-
tons to exist, and that the duration of the
act should be limited to two years from
date of its passage.
Mr.. Butler accepted an amendment to
further limit the application of the act tC
Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama and Missis
sippl.
The next amendment voted on was tc
strike out the last section relative to the
writ of habeas corpus. This was lost, 12l
to 1870. Among the republicans who voted
to strike out the habeas corpus section were
Bufiinton, Burleigh, Crounse, Dawes, Fos-
ter, Garfield, Hale of Maine, Jos. X. Haw
ley, Kasson, McCrary, Merriam, Phelps OF
New Jersey, Poland, Il. Ii. Roberts, Sener
j. G. Smith, Wheeler, Willard of Yer
mont, Williams of Michigan, Pierce OF
Massachusetts, and one or two others. Al
twenty minutes before midnight the motor
to reconsider having been adopted, al
agreement was made that there should b,
no further motions of dilatory character
but that the ayes and noes should be takei
on the final passage of the bill, and tina
the democrats should not call for the read
ing of the bill on Monday. Among the re
publicans who voted against the passag

TOWN EXITING.

The town meeting, yesterday, wos largely
attended and decorum and order marked Its
proceedings until late hour. From the
multiplicity of tickets to choose from
some sixteen in number--a very creditable
aud satisfactory board of town officers was
elected AS is always the case, the list
might have been improved in two or three
respects, but, then, 1t might have been
much worse, and we, or the town, have no
reason to complain Of or find fault with,
the result. The selectmen are all that we
could ask, much better than, at one time,
yesterday, we had reason to expect, and
we feel assured that the affairs of the town
will be well and economically managed.
We hardly know, however, whether to
congratulate or condole with the new board
of selectmen. The town is certainly to be
congratulated, but how with themy We
do not think that large and wealthy town,
like Rutland, has any right to ask three of
her business men to manage her affairs
without pay No individual would ask or
expect the services of any one of them
without compensation, and why should the
same individuals, in corporate capacity,
ask that which as individuals, they have
no right to expect and would be ashamed
to request? This action Of the town
appears to us very much like
parsimony. 1t is certainly economy
run mad. In another respect we
think the town made a very grave mistake.
We doubt not that every tax payer of the
town desires to see Rutland out of debt.
| Certainly, no one can look with compla-
cency upon constantly increasing debt.
| Yet the town voted a tax of seventy-five
cents on the dollar and authorized loan of
only St1 800. With the grand list as it
now is, and if the loan is negotiated at par,
this will raise only S9s, 755 10, or one hun
dred ninety-six dollars and forty-six cents
(S106. 46) less than the estimate of curren!
expenses and past due and accruing indebt-
edness, all to be paid within the year al
stated in the published town report. What
then becomes of the additional indebted
ness, some eight thousand dollars il
amount, reported by the selcctmen at the
meeting? Is there any other prospect thar
that we shall find, next year, an increased
Indebtedness of some eight or ten Thousand
dollars !: We would rejoice TO take ros'
colored view of Rutlands financial situa
ton, but we cannot-facts are stubborn
things. and figures will not lie

OF WHAT USE

By the apportionment made under the
census of 1870, Vermont was entitled to
only two members of Congress. Subse-
quently, on account of " fraction" of
something more than sixty-onc thousand
over and above the apportionment number
of population, we were given an additional
member, or three in all. We have often
asked ourselt, of what benefit this ezra
member of Congress is to the State, save
only as it gives US one more vote in presi-
dental elections OF what use is the third
member of Congress, any way? Confess
ing our inability to give it a satisfactory
answer, we respectfully refer the matter to
the press and people of the third congress
sional district. Since that unfortunate re-
cprocity speech, and the action of the third
district nominating convention on the gen.
eral subject of reciprocity with Canada,
where has been the voice and vote of the
representative of that district? In Wash
ington, he has been conspicuous only for
his absence. In New York city, his name
has weekly, or oftener, adorned the per-
sopal columns of the New York Herald as
"residing" at one of the hotels. Where
was he that he did not record his vote
with his Vermont colleagues ON the force
bill Where was he that he did not
vote on the revenue bill Where
has he been when other important votes
have been taken Does residing" at a
New York hotel constitute the whole duty
of representative from the third congress
sional district of Vermont? Has he no
opinions of his own and is he, therefore,
silent because he fears he may not vote in
accordance with the views and convictions
OF his constituents Is he afraid that he
may make another reciprocity blunder
But one thing can be said of George w.
Hendee-and it can be said of very few
members of Congress-we always know
where to look for his name. 1t is amOns
those recorded as absent or not poting
Even Barnum of Connecticut, who has e
many times kept him company, has gon,

place elected for? We pause for reply

That is a "healthy" naval officer who
makes his headquarters in New York city.
His name is Lafliin and he is politician,
and somewhat obnoxious TO the charge
made by the Massachusetts republican
state convention, when it denounced the
interference of federal office holders in
local politics, and demanded the promp;
removal of all officers indulging IN such
practices. Laffiin does interfere and ad-
mits it. Clinton L. Merriam, who now
represents the twenty-first district-a dis
trict hundreds OF miles distant from New
York city--was candidate for re-nomina-
ton. He was all that could be asked for
as a member of congress-honest, able, ca
pable and, withal, sound republican. But
Lafflin was determined to defeat him, and
defeat him he did, for he is "a man of in
fluence." But why this opposition Oh
Mr.. Merriam introduced a bill providing
that no government officer should, directly
or indirectly, receive any pay except sal
airy fixed by law, and Latllin informs Mer
riam that his-Merriam standard oil
''political morality was on too high plane
''of virtue to run party on" Laillir
don't inform us how high his standard o
political morality" is, but we can readily
estimate his "plane of virtue" 1t may d.
"to run party on" but we apprchend i
would soon ''run party" down. Such
man may be ''honest enough" for a nava
officer, but he needs watching.
