start off with one hundred and
twelve thousand dollars less In the treasury
than was paid on account of auditors Or
ders during the past year.
But there is another very important item
of expenditures to be considered. There
was paid, last year. for "court orders
that is, sheriff. and county clerks account
foI fees Jail expenses, and the fees of of.
ficeis ard witnesses in cases of inquests,
court of inquiry and liquor cases-over
oger Seoenty-t,oo thousand dollars, being six
thousand five hundred dollars more than in
ls15 fifteen thousand dollars more than in
1878, and more than the gross amount paid
in 1860 for the judicial and criminal ex-
penses of the state, includ pg salaries of
the judge, and reporter OF the ~ rene
court, states attorneys, county judges and
directors Of the state prison, the debenture
of witnesses and the grand and petit jury
before the county court, the publication of
of the Vermont Reports, the expenses of
the state prison, legislative allowance for
the apprchending of criminals, and the
"court orders embracing the same class of
items as this year. Adding this amount to
the other, we find that the state treasurer
has, of available funds, one hundred and
eighty.four thousand dollars less than the
amount for which the auditor drew orders
last year.
This deficit, so to call it, appears upon
the suppositon that the ordinary expenses
that /, the expenses represented by audi
tors orders and court orders-remain the
same as last year. We have already seen
how the court orders have increased, and
the auditors orders increase in the same
proportion. These orders, last year, were
ior two hundred and forty-six thousand
dollars, being thirty thousand dollars more
than in 1874; 6fiy-six thous md dollart
mo e han i'll 1870, when III y included the
expenses of the general assembly, legsla
tiva and official printing, special appro
prlations, ETC., etc. and twelve Thousand
dollars more than the whole expenses o
the state In 1860, including the amount eX
pended in the construction aud furpishin.
of the state house, being over twenty fiv'
thousal d dollars These figures show tina
the ordinary expenses of the state are in
cfea.lng to an alaru,ing extent, and, also
show that 1t will be the duty of the mex
general assembly to find some way in whicl
they can be reduced. We shall, anothe

ta1neer was tall, stalwart, sparing of
speech, entirely fearless, Injured to
hardship, of the race that extends CIV
lllzation in new lands, preparing the
way Tor others to enjoy what he wins
from the wilderness and the savage.
Ills sole possessions often were a rifle
and an axe. With the axe he felled
trees and built his rude cabin in some
cash of the Alleghanies on the farthest
outpost Of civilization. He provided
yenlson and bear meat with his rifle, or
defended wife and children from mas
sacre by the savages. The story of
these bloody combats, as we read it in
the old provincial history by Sam
uel Kercheval is rich in ro-
nance, tragedy, and exhibitions cf
the coolest courage. The mountaineer
did not know the meaning of the word
fear, and everything about him was in
accord with his surroundings. He was
liberal, open-hearted-as guileless and
unsuspecting, indeed, as a child-but
tougher manhood never dwelt in human
breast. The fibre of his character
easily stood any strain upon it, and he
endured patiently and cheerfully all
hardsh1ps. 1t was to this class of men
that Washington looked, not to Brad

Duquesne and in the bloody engage
ment there, as in all the long and ardu-
Gus years Of border war; and they
formed the corps d'ehte of the little Vir-
ginia army under General Andrew
Lewis, which broke the power of the
savage tribes in 1774, at the battle of
Point Pleasant, On the Ohio. When
the Revolution began, they appeared
as "Morgan's Rifemen" in front of
Boston, clad in fringed hunting-skirts,
belts of wampum, and moccasins, with
Liberty or Death" on their breasts,
every man grasping his long rifle; and
they fought throughout tie war with
unfaltering courage and endurance,
