/" ENCOURAGING MANUFACTURES"

We publish elsewhere, this morning,
letter frem Mr.. Eli l.. Holden, of Claren-
don, called out by our remark, few days
since, that the bill passed at the last ses-
sion of the general assembly of Vermont
relative to the assessment of the stock of
manufacturing companies, was "proper in
I" every respect" Our correspondent says,
that the fact that the bill was dismissed by
a large majority proves that it could not
have been passed by full house, but that
it was revived and paased when only
few members. bare quorum, were pres
g ent, just before the adjournment. The
fact is that, on the last day of the session,
the bill was called up-having been per-
fected, and reported by committee favor
ably the previous day-and was dismissed
without any consideration or discussion.
Later in the day, the vote Diminishing the
bill was re-considered, the bill amended
and passed by vote of nearly two to one
of the members present Ii there was only
"barc quorum" of the house present,
whose fault was iii The fault of Mr..
Holden himself, and of others like him,
who had been sent TO the house TO prevent
improper legislation, and who, instead of
discharging their duties, were absent in
violation of the rules of the house, and are
now complaining for that which, as they
say, could never have occurred but for their
own neglect.
From the house, the bill went to the SEN
ate, was referred to the judiciary commit
tee, considered by them, Its passage recon-
mended, and the bill passed without
opposition or division. For aught that
appears it passed the senate unanimously.
1t was approved by the governor and be-
came a law. Such, in brief, is the history
of the passage of the bill, and from wha,
the people know of the course pursued by
Governor Peck, the close scrutiny he gave
to bills presented him for approval, 1t is

Rejects Tilden.

The MENDOZA (Ill Nesos has declared for
Hayes and Wheeler. 1t is edited by DR..
ID. II. Spickler, who has spoken of himself
as "a lifelong, old line southern demo-
crat." He says: "We have withheld our
views from the public until after both con-
ventions were held, and we are now ready
TO declare our political sentiments. On
general principles, we have held with the
democratic party, yet we never wer6 so
radical but that we would allow our better
judgment to enable to decide regardless Of
party ties. Having carefully compared
men and measures now in the field for the
opening contest, we have no hesitation in
declaring for Hayes and Wheeler and the
state republican ticket, and VIC shall work
for the interests of the republican party.
This may disappoint some persons, who,
because they knew we we're opposed TO
Grant and his corrupt ring, naturally
thought We would drill with the opposite
party. We were opposed to Grant, and
admit the corruption of the present admin
istration, but We do not believe ii policy to
change 1t for a worse one. Tilden, the
democratic nominee FOR president, may be

Taxation of Manufacturing Stock.

Editor Rutland Globe In the last issue
of THE WEEKLY GLOBE, noticed some
remarks of yours in relation to law passed
during the last hours of the Vermont gen.
eral assembly in 1874.
You say, ''the law was perfectly proper,
in every respect, simply providing that
stockholders of manufacturing corpora
ton or company should not be taxed in
this state for property on which they pay
taxes in another state"
do not see it so. The law exempts the
capital stock from taxation equal to the
amount of property on which taxes are
paid outside of the state. No matter how
valuable that stock may be, it is to pay no
taxes, simply because it costs something to
dispose of its goods. For the tax paid is
one item Of the expense and nothing more.
Now claim that it is unjust to every other
tax paying citizen in the state, to have cap
itsl, paying heavy dividends to the holders,
thus exempted.
Horace Fairbanks admitted that they

the state. Reckoning the taxes at one
hundred cents on the dollar of the grand
| list TO make this amount, and you strike

| grand list.
Do the hard working tax payers of YER
mont desire to do thsp Are they willing
passively to submit to it? hope not. |
| know for one am not.
That the bill could not pass by full
house, was proved by its dismissal by a
large majority on the afternoon of the last
day OF the session, but it was revived and
passed when only a few members-a bare
quorum-were present, just before adj
| journment.
Did Horace Fairbanks have anything TO
do with il? l do not know, but know it
was known as the Fairbanks bill and it
was said that he was present and caused ii
to be presented. And / know members

erosity and public spirit of the Fairbanks

A Sad Case.

Mrs. Helen +. Willis, sister of Senator
Twitchell, of Louisiana, died at Iudana-
polls, Ind, on Sunday week. She was
with her brother at the time of the attempt
ed assassination, and had started with him
for their former home in Vermont. She
was the last of four sisters, all Of whose
husbands have been killed in Louisiana for
being republicans, and her death is directly
traceable to the terrible shock to her sys-
TEN occasioned by the recent attack on her
brother. She had never recovered from
the murder of her husband, two years ago
or more, and this last shock was fatal

very coed man, but we don't like the
company he keeps nor the men who placed
him in nomination. The st Louis con-
ventlon was controlled by the rebel ele-
ment OF the south and the Morrissey cop
perheads of the north. Were Tilden
elected, 1t would be largely through the in
fluence OF this element, and, very nat
urally, to the men who placed him in power
he would be under obligations, and to them
he would extend his favors. The result of
this would be to increase rather than d.
minish the corruption among our repre-
sentatives, which would be jumping out of
the frying. pan into the fire." In conclu-
ding, he remarks: at would doubtless
have been policy for us TO support The
democratic ticket, but policy does not enter
into our composition. The nominees and
principles do no. suit us, and we cannot
conscientiously work one way and think
another"

Weston, The Pedestrian.

Weston, the pedestrian, has had a varied
experience in Europe. Owing to able
management he was financially successful
at the outset in England. The profits Of
his first exhibition are SAID to have been
from $4,000 to $4,000, and he was for a
time the chief subject of talk in London.
Then his best performances were on done
IN contest of amateurs, and he was ad-
vised that his harvest of money was over !;
but he persists IN walking more. His bust
ness manager has parted company with
him, and he is likely to lose all he has
made.
