Perhaps our friend 20. q. W" will
have more success than those who before
him have tried to persuade the women Of
Vermont that they are q dOwn-trodden and
abused class, continually robbed and plum
dered by their male tyrants, but we doubt
it. Too many widows have found the laws
- stepping in" not 10 rob but to protect
them too few women are willing to ex-
change the kindness and care which has
guarded every intorest Of theirs during
the husbands life anu extends beyond his
death, for legal claim upon the half Of his
estate two few care to reliLqui>h the es-
pecisl rights and privileges they enjoy,
10 reference to their property held in their
own right, tn make them as class very
clamorous for absolute legal equality.
DJubtlts, there are occasional cases of
hardship under oar laws but before such
a change Is demanded there should be at
least reasonable demonstration that there
would be les hardship under an arrange
ment which - tar Is property is concerned
would substitute legal partnership Tor
marriage.

To The Mnnaeu uf kfrmont

Now Is your chance to make your appeal
to the jus, and gallant Legislators Of our
noble and enlg hiened State.
OF course you are aware OF the unjust
discrimination made by our laws. IN favor
of men appeal TO married women. and
those who elpeai to be married.
You know. you who are wive-. tina; if
your husband should die, the law would
step in not for your protection. but to rob
you of one-hslf or two-thiris of your pro-
perty. and if it Is real estate, would grant
you only the Use OF it during life.
You know that if you should die. the
law would not recognize the event 1t
would not meddls with your husbands
affairs at all and be would 90 night on. a.
if nothing mad happened.
You would not probably claim that YOU
have greater ability to live upon one-third
of your common estate than your husband
has. and ye, the law gives him the ,ctoie.
and you 0ne-ftrd.
If you happen to have property come to
you in your own right, the law Is partial to
you. Although this seldom happens. and
mos, married people accumulate what they
have together, by common labor and econo-
my, the law ought to deal with you in re-
ference to your separate estate no different
" from its dealing with your husbands es-
tate. You and your husband are one.
What You desire. if you have q respecta-
bic amount OF lntelli .ence, Is that the law
should treat you and your husband erGctly
alike If the estate must be settled and
divided when the husband dies. let it be set
tied and divided when the rIfe dies. In
the name of common sense, | ask. WHY
should the law make so senseless and cruel
a difference between you?
You don't care? You have rights
enough? Poor thing Ages of gross in
justice have berelt you of sell-respect.
Ii You desire TO eater into a movement to
remove from our statutes a - relic of bar
barism." suppose you circulate petition
to the Legislature. in substance like this,
viz
To the GsHtrai I,ssw5lv, Or s.,
We, Inhabitants OF this State, ask your honorable
body 10 amend tn lsss Of the state, that in the
settlement OF estates, there shall be no distinction
made between the ghts Of wldOvers and widows,
ind that no will disposins Of property shall he
valid without the consent " the surviving husband
or wife.
Something like the above signed by the
women OF Vermont would be likely TO re-
ceive consideration from our Legislature

WASHINGTON, October 27.-The Re-
publican managers here have become so
desperate over the prompt refutation OF
their campaign SANDERS that they have
started out on a new tack, by getting up
forged circular, which purports to come
from the Democratic committee in New
York and is to be distributed to leading
Democrats in the southern states. 1t is a
bold attempt to fasten the responsibility
of inaugurating violence upon the Demo-
cratic leaders. Publicity was to be given
to the circular by the Republican press, so
near the election as to prevent wide
spread exposure Gifts fraudulent character,
and to secure, if possible. some political
benefit from it. The circular was printed
to day, at the National Republican office,
the administration organ, and the following
is a copy of it:

And hopes the peoples righteous wrath
To silence and dismay;
But the Father of his country.
Is watching DER the fight.
The souls OF buried heroes pray
For '"Iilden and the Right"
Ages unborn shall never say
That ia our hnndredth year
We passed our great reformer by
But with a gallant cheer
They'll tell of ancient truth regained.
OF oldtime honor won
By valient hosts that march to-day
Meath Tilden's gonfalon.
The people cried aloud tor help.
From shame and sorrow sore,
i'll the voice of Tilden answered.:
'Ihese things shall be no more"
The great land with mighty voice
Calls for that leader now
Who struck corruption from the throne
And laid the guilty low.
Then cheer once more for Uncle Sam,
All people, young and old.
ProOng again that victor'e shout
That rings SO true and bold.
Let north and south forget the past,
And one and all unite
To carry this, our hundredth year,

opod Beringer and Others tried in the Supreme Court
Special Term Judge Van Worst has decided or the plain
tf. The suit Is in form ordinary foreclosure sui.
foreclo3e mortgage past due, for $3.50 The ques
ons arise out Of the action OF Adolf Levnger tie de-
faulting counsel OF the German Uptown Savings Bank
The plaintiff put this mortgage in Leyngers hands to
foreclose Instead OF foreclosing, Leyinger took two
notes Of Berineers firm for $685. each dated Oct T.
1876, PAYABLE at two and three months, which were
paid judge Van Worst aAds however. that before ths
first note was actually paid 10 Leyinger his de.aca cation
was rumored, and the plaintiff had revoked Levingeps
authority and before the second note paid her pres
ent attorneys had given notice TO Berngar that they
held the mortgage. On this state Of facts Judge Van
Worst holds that the employment Of Leyinger 10 fore
close the mortgage authorized him to take Of IT,
take notes for its payment, and thus substan-
TALLY extend IT, II the def Ddnt chose to make such
arrangement beyond Leyingers authority he oanpot
hold the plaintiff 10 IT, bat must look % Leyinger for hs
losses and ne cannot set of against the pantn even

payment Of the mortgage, and directs judgment Of
