provements. We should give our opin.
ion with more confidence, however, IL
we only had the law before us and had
opportunity TO study its provisions.
We arc not aware that any serious
defects have been discovered in the old
charter, and yet it is always safe to as
sumo that no instrument, or law, Is alb
solutely perfect. We should welcome
any real improvement wherever 1t
comes from. But should first be quite
sure that changes are Improvements.
Whether the new charter is real i'm
provement upon the old one, is certain.
ly n proper question to ask, but with
our present opportunities for informa-
ton, is not all easy one to answer. We
must he excused from attempting to
give our own opinion upon the change,
as we have none or nj least none def
mite enough to talk about. What we
want, in common with Inquirer, is
more light. If the amendments were
before us in black and white, we mieh
form an opinion, as also might all our
readers if they had the document before
them.
There are at least two serious OBJ
jections to the acceptance of this amend
ed charter at the meeting tomorrow.
First, we have 10 certified copy of the
act as it finally passed. Second, if we
had, 1t ls impossible, upon n single
reading in n public meeting, to be sure
that we comprehend the full meaning
and effect of such an instrument.

THE NEW VILLAGE CHARTER.

Editor Of The Re2istG:
hope your timely words may call the
attention OF the voters of this village to
t he outrage which is sought to be inflicted
upon parties now dependent upon the
sense of justice Of the people OF the viii
lage. | am not alone in thinking it rank
Injustice TO compel those now residing
outside of the village limits, to como il
aud pay our taxes, nolens rolens, and
that without even giving them an oppor-
tuuity to say yea, or nay. II they wish
it, ell right; then have nothing more TO
say. But how shall we know on such
short notice =? There is really the APP
pearancc Of the "ileathen Chinee," tao.
tics on the part OF those offering this
amended charter. Otherwise. why has it
not been published ? FAIR PLAY.

DaJ Some four or five weeks ago
Rev. Horse Fancier Murray went
through this part of the state uttering
some silly twaddle about the luxuries
OF Incidence, and of doing away the
morning hours, when honest and eifi-
cient business men find it necessary to
be at work. 1t was then thought to be
harmless talk, as the average Vermont
er was supposed not to be susceptible
to that particular kind of foolishness.
But since reading the New Years NOR
alization of the Rutland Herald, we
have been brought to the unwelcome
conclusion that it is not quite safe to
rely upon any kind of virtue as pro-
lection against the insiduous approach
es of the adversary. Scarlet fever, dip
liberia, Tyndalism and small pox are
bad enough, in all reason, and we hope
aud pray that our little state may lie
delivered from the scourgc Of Murray

nE- There is now hardly doubt but
that the principal scandal suit Tilton
VS. Beecher, will be tried upon its mer-
its, at once. Five. hundred jurors were
summoned for yesterday afternoon
from which number 1t was hoped n
panel might be obtained and the trial
commence to-day. The order for bill
of particulars by Judge McCue was re-
voked by the other two Judges of the
Brooklyn City Court, Judges Nelson
and Keynolds,in general term. So the
case is open for the introduction of all
evidence without any Limitation. For
the good of society this case ought to be
transferred to the United States Dis
trict Courts of Alaska.

THEAMENDED CHARTER AGAIN

Hold on, Mr.. Inquirer, please don't
PROFOUND any more of your hard ques-
tions, at least, until we have had time
TO acknowledge our inability to give
satisfactory answers. 1t probably
makes very little difference what may
be said about the subject. for 1t will UNI
doubtedly be swallowed whole, at the
dictation Of parties in interest, and now
controlling matters in this village,
Nevertheless, we are bound, in cour-
iesy TO our friend and correspondent to
give due consideration to his inquiries.
In the newspaper reports of legislative
proceedings, we noticed the briefest
possible mention Of a bill proposing
amendment to the charter OF the village
of Middlebury. What they were was
not stated. Beyond the facts contain
ed In that allusion, we have no knowl-
edge of the history of the matter. We
are not In formed as 10 the authorship
of the amendments and 1t can make no
possible difference, unless to reveal
the motives which led to their devis-
ing. AS to the authority, 1t Is sufficient
to know that the voters of the village
have never, In open meeting, expressed
any wish upon this subject, or appoint
ed any committee to revise its charter,
or even manifested any dissatisfaction
with the old law. The objects of the
changes can only be inferred from the
language of the document after careful
study and consideration. And as nc
person in the village of Mlddlebury (so
we are informed) has ever seen n certi'
fed copy OF the law as 1t finally passed
it Is difficult to arrive at any degree Of
certainty with regard to 1t. There is
however, what purports to he the orig
inal draft of the bill, in the hands o
the clerk. Whether il received any
changes In Its passage or not, will no
be certainly known until comparison
Is had with the law itself.
From cursory reading of that man
uscript we are inclined to the opinion
that the objects are at least three-fold
