THE BULLETIN attempts to account for
the 1000 increase in the Democratic vote
of Connecticut, by saying they were
foreigners who had lately been natural
lied. Well, if such be the case, foreigners
don't prove bad citizens. Conservative.
We certainly did not say that foreigners
would make bad citizens. Yet this is
what the Conservative would darkly in
sinuate by the above paragraph, and it
style such sneaking attacks by their right
name. But the fling aside is nGt our
cotemporary's solicitude that the Demo-
cratic triumph in Connecticut shall be
duly magnified, a rather significant COM
mentary upon its third party nonsense.

THE Dubuque Herald, commenting
upon an item going the rounds of the
press to the effect that the gas furnished
by the independence Gas Works is not of
good quality, and that it is expensive
withal, says:
These country towns will learn bye and
bye that it is not profitable to pick up
every illumination that comes along, as it
only causes darkness, profanity, and yex-
alton of spirit on the part of those who
make the venture.
1t is undoubtedly true that many of our
business houses have discontinued the use
of gas on account of the expense as COM
pared with coal oil, but we think that
those who are using it are satisfied with
its Illuminating qualities. Indeed, parties
who reside in Dubuque and Chicago have
voluntarily remarked that in this regard it
is superior to the article furnished con-
sumers in those cities. The Gas Works
here are not first success, but we
imagine they might be made SO; and, con
sidering the small cost of manufacture,
that gas might be furnished with profit at
figure that would be satisfactory to Gus
toners.

THE Anamosa Eureka says:
Mr.. II. F. Newberger, Of whose mis-
fortune we made mention last week, was
taken to the Insane Asylum at Indepen-
dence on Tuesday, by Messrs. A. Heitcher
and Frank Chapman He gave his atten-
dants but little trouble and made no OBJ
lection to entering the Hospital Mr.
Heitchen speaks in the highest praise of
the good management and perfect cleanli-
ness in all departments of the Institution,
and pronounces DR.. Reynolds and his as
sistants gentlemen in every sense of the
word. We make mention of this fact be-
cause an impression has recently been
abroad in this vicinity that good care was
not bestowed upon the inmates at this
Asylum.
If the impression above alluded to, that
the inmates of the Hospital were not well
cared for, obtained currency from the for
lorn appearance of the fugitive from the
Institution recently taken up in Jones
County, it was most unreasonable and
unjust to the officers OF the Hospital, con-
sidering that the poor lunatic had been
wandering about nearly a week after his
escape, before capture. When he left the
Hospital he was not only in clearly con-
ditiOn but we'll clothed.

least $4,000. So, then, to provide for a
debt of 100000, and get along on the
most economical scale for other city pur-
poses, we will require il revenue of $56, 800,
just SIG, 703.63 more than Mr.. Waddell's
estimate. Then may ask where is this
excess to come from? What subject is to
be taxed? Mr.. Waddell's petition will an
sWer-on the business men of the city
for it only shields the real estate, and COM
pels the business men to bear the intolera-
BILE burden of an unjust and inadequate Ii
cense tax. If you limit one subject, Mr..
Waddell, limit all subjects from taxation.
Mr.. Waddell speaks of the good old days
OF 1860, when about 900 Was the total
amount Of the revenue Does not Mr.
Waddell know that for the support of the
PubliciFree Schools of the city alone it now
requires annually more than this sum?
MIR. Waddell says: s'To pay debts al
ready incurred is one thing, and injudi-
ciously mourning others is another thing"
The only debt the present City Council
mas incurred is $4,000 to purchase school
houses. II ask is this debt injudicious?)
and $4,000 for supplying the city with
water. Is this debt in1judicious? This is
AL the debt except 5000 for improving the
street leading along Mr.. Waddell's pro-
perty. will say in conclusion am in
favor of limiting the debt of the city to a
proper amount, and If you limit one sub
ject OF taxation, say in all fairness limit
all subjects of taxation by the City Coun-
ell, so that there shall be no just cause of
complaint. Respectfully,
JNo. B. EVANS.

DOGS and sheen.

Editor of the Vindica 5or:
Allow me to make suggestion with re-
gard to protecting sheep from dogs. The
idea of each county taxing dogs, and
thereby raising fund for paying for sheep
killed by them, would be a good one, if
people would only pay the tax; but this
they will not do. A few years since, when
a tax was levied on dogs, not one man in
ten paid it. indeed, l once heard that when
one man paid this tax, the.tax collector
looked up in surprise and remarked, sWell,
you are about the only man in Augusta
county who owns dogs"
To remedy this evil, suggest: Let the
Legislature levy a tax of one dollar on
each dog. Let some one in each county
be especially appointed to collect this tax.
Pay him fifty per cent. for collecting it,
Authorize him to kill every dog on which
the tax is not paid, and let linn receive
fifty cents for killing it. Make it mis-
demeanor, punishable by fine or short i'm
him III the discharge of his duties.
at first glance you may think this mat
ter OF little Importance; but this is not the
case. There is no country in the world
better adapted for raising sheep than Vir-
ginia; still, not one farmer in ten has
sheep, simply on account of the danger of
their being worried by dogs. We're it not
for this danger, every farmer in the Val
ley would own sheep, for raising sheep is
one OF the most profitable branches of
farming If there were plenty of sheep
here, wooden factories would spring up all
along our water-courses. | must confess
it sometimes excites my indignation to re-
fleet that poor Virginia is cut off from
this great source Of prosperity and wealth
simply because our wise legislators C) have
not the brains and courage to remedy this
evil under which our farmers are now la
boring. If they do not look out, Changers
may take hold Of politics and dispense
with their marvellous wisdom.

COMPLIMENTARY NOTICE OF A FORMER
TEAcHER Tile: Winchester
'sNews" in noticing the first soiree of the
season at the Episcopal Female Institute
there, says of the Rev. j. G. Wheat the
Principal:
Within short space of time he has sue
ceeded in placing it in the foremost ranks
of our institutions of female learning, and
this is saying much, for Winchester is
noted for its schools. By assiduous labor
he has given it reputation, which in
many cases requires years of patient labor
to achieve. In his management, Mr..
Wheat has not fallen short of the reputa-
ton as an educator of youth with which
he came among us. In every department,
in the selection of the most competent
teachers, as well as in the domestic ar
engagements of a large boarding-school, he
has proved himself equal to the undertake
ing, and we trust that his efforts may be
crowned with the fullest success that they
so justly deserve.

NINE YrAps OF RADICAL PEACE

NINE YEARS OF RADICAL PEACE
New Orleans and Little Rock having got
through for the present, Vicksburg begins.
1t is the old story Of misgovernment and
spOliation with which these latter years of
reconstruction have made us SO familiar.
Nearly all the county officers under indict-
ment for forgery, larceny, Nc; the sheriff
believed to have made away with docu-
mentary evidence in his official custody;
the discovery made that the commission
ers have excused this sheriff from the for
mality of giving bonds; the taxpayers, in
despair of peaceful legal redress, resorting
to violence; the city besieged by black
militia; armed collision, bloodshed rap
ine-this is what we have got in nine years
of nominal peace. A st. Louis Journal
sums up the whole history in a single SEN
tence: "Republican government at Vicks-
burg has ripened into felony, and the re-
suit is revolution. ''-Sprinadsld (Mass.)
