We publish elsewhere, this morning,
communication, signed Franklin" in ref
erence to the action of the Bellows Falls
reform club in voting to admit the playing
OF certain games at their rooms, and to
open the reading room during certain hours
Sunday. While we always listen with re-
spect to the words of our esteemed friend
and correspondent, we must be permitted
to doubt whether he has the best Of the ar
gument in this case. His denunciation
seems to be directed against the playing of
the games, as well as the Sunday opening
of the reading room, and he will parden us
for saying that innocent amusements have
always been considered, and justly so, as
great aids in the way of reform; and, 60,
without regard to the Sunday question, We
think the action of the club was right and
proper. AS to the Sunday question, that
is another matter, but one, however, In
which the argument is not all on one side
but, for the present, we will not discuss
this question.

THE ExTRApITIoN oF TWEED.

1t is announced, femi-ofliciaily, that a
person supposed TO be William NJ. Tweed,
fugitive from justice, has been surren-
dered by the Spanish government, been
transferred to the United States ship
rankin, and is now on his way to this
country, presumably to be tried for his
crimes. A year, or even six months ago,
this thing would have been deemed impos-
sible, but we have been confronted with so
many apparent impossibilities in the way
of the application of international law, that
it would be the hight of folly to declare
any freak of nations an impossibility or to
be surprised at any such freak.
But why should Tweed, if it is, Tweed,
be surrendered? Why should the demand
for his surrender be made? He is not a
fugitive from justice in the ordinary sense
of the term. He may be under indictment
for alleged crimes, we know that he is un-
der indictment for alleged misdemeanors
under the laws of New York, but his es-
cape was not from arrest under these in
dictments. He had been arrested, and was
IN the custody of the sheriff of the city of
New York, on civil process, on an order
of arrest issued in civil suit, brought by
the proper authorities for the recovery of
certain moneys which, it was alleged, he
had obtained from the city or county Of
New York by fraud. Has the general
government anything to do with enforcing
this class Of remedies? His escape, if he
was not retaken, made the sheriff of New
York and his bail liable for the amount of
the judgments rendered against him. Has
the general government anything to dc
with aiding the sheriff to escape from
such liability?
OF course there can be only one answer
to these questions-and that, that the gen
ersl government has no business whatever
to interfere with these matters. But con
ceding that his arrest was demanded ant
the surrender obtained on account of the
crimes or misdemeanoIs back of these civi
prosecutions, why then does the genera
BoNcIuhChb lutSilSiS W nat oiS thNo'
alleged crimes;and misdemeanors They
are simply that Tweed entered into con
spiracy With others to defraud the city anC
county of New York, that by means o
such conspiracy he succeeded N sucl
fraud, and that to carry out the cOnspiIac!
he was guilty of misfeasance AMI malfeas
ance in Office. These crimes or misle
meanors are simply local ones, and ar
such because they are made 80 by statute
They are unknown to international law
AMI are unrecognized by extradition treG
ties. AS a matter of strict right, under il
ternational law, the United States govern
ment had no right TO demand his surrer
, der, or the government of Spain to surreT
/ der him.
The strangeness Of the case does NJ
; end here. His surrender is demanded, an
t the demand complied with, without Il
Q least evideuce being furnished that he hi
+ committed, or even been charged with tn
commission of crime. There has no
' even, been an attempt made to establis
his identity. Every principle of commc
|, law and common justice, to say nothing
i international law, has been violated in
9 surrender. To be sure, in one sense, th

Rutland railroad. The Rutland railroad
together with the Addison railroad, is only
some one hundred and thirty-six miles in
length, aud yet the Central Vermont rail-
road company pay an annual rental there
for of two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars-or about one quarter of the amount
at which we have placed the whole present
valuation of railroad property in this state.
And this two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars represents not the valuation of the
property, but the interest on a fair business
valuation, and on fifty per cent. less than
the valuation placed thereon by the Rut-
land railroad company less than six years
ago.
In the town of Rutland, the reslestate of
railroads constitute about one-fortieth Of
the grand list. Taxes, to be cure, are
raised at the rate of so many cents on the
dollar, but the object aimed at is to raise
a given sum. That given sum will, of
course, necessitate greater or lesser tax,
as the grand list is larger or smaller. We
may not realize that our taxes are smaller
in consequence Of the assessment of rail-
read or other property, but It seems too
plain for argument that they must be So
Ii we wish to raise ten thousand dollars,
it makes a difference TO every tax payer
whether one-fortieth of the taxable proper
ty is placed upon or left off from the grand
list.
The same result follows in towns where
there are no railroads, although to less
extent. They have no reduction in their
local taxes, but it makes difference with
their state taxes, whether million of dol
lars worth of property is required to pay
its share Of the public bufthens, or whether
it shall be entirely exempted therefrom.
But aside from this, the argument adj
dressed to these "back towns" as they are
called, is too absurd 10 require much no.
tice. 1t is said to them, you receive no
benefit from these taxes, you have no rail
roads, therefore join with us in having this
law repealed. AS well might the marble
and slate producers urge that the majority
of towns have no quarries, and, receiving
no benefit from their taxation, should Join
with them in repeating all laws which pro-
vide for their taxation. Then would come
the proprietoIs of saw mills, of furnaces
and founderies, aud the merchants, lawyers
and physicians, all urging the same claim
and the result would be tha: farmers and
school houses-for every town has these
would pay all the taxes. If the claim is n
good one tor the railroads to make, it is
good for every ether kind of business
which is not carried on in every town in
the state.
We trust that it will only be necessary
to place the facts before the people, to
block this little game-but it would not be
the part of prudence to rely upon such
hope. We all know that the passage of
law imposing a tax on railroads was de-
feated four years ago by a trick, and the
desperate efforts resorted to. two years
ago, to defeat the scheme; and we may ex-
pect similar course this year. The peo-
pie should, and will, hold their representa-
tives to a strict accountability in this mat

Playing of Games-The Sunday Open
ing of Libraries.

Editor Rutland Globe 1t is announced
that the reformed club reading room,
voted to admit to the room, the games of
chess, checkers, domnoes and backgam-
mon, also voted, that the reading room be
opened Sundays, between 0 a m. and 5 p.
M" Such was the action of the Reform
club. The word reform, has come to mean
almost anything but real improvement, the
old definition of "change from worse to
better" has been reversed now, with
some politicians, and with this club, it ap-
pears to mean-downwsrd to soar, and
backward to advance" This action of the
club must be viewed with amazcment and
deep regret by all the friends of order and
virtue, by all who venerate the institutions
of christianity. While portion of the
people in that fourishing village, are pro-
viding at great expense, houses for public
worship and securing the preaching of the
gospel others are opening place for de-
moraliZng games. The one is promoting
the prosperity and happiness of society,
the other is jeoperdizing the highest inter-
etts Of that community. | would COM
mend to the serious consideration of that
club, the able and appropriate arguments
of DIR. Loring, Gen. Hawley, and Others
at Philadelphia in vindication of the sane
tity of the Sabbath and the importance
of its stIict observance. The decision of
the question, in relation to opening the
centennial grounds on the Sabbath, was
hailed with joy by the true friends OF
christianity. Very few immoralities and
vices are so subversive OF true prosperity
as the desccration of the holy Sabbath. II
is to be hoped that better views will obtain
which will result in the resembling of the
| above votes. FRANKLIN.
