AZ Tho Rutland Herald is some what
in doubt whether Mr.. Munger, who shot
the tramp in Benson, did right in taking
human life, although it seems to think
it would have been difficult for him, un.
der the circumstances, aud at the mo
meut, to be guided by the rules Of Emo
drawn cssuistry. The public generally,
however, will feel that Mr.. Munger was
perfectly justified, If an unknown man en-
tiers lonely house at 10 o'clock st night,
demands food, conducts himself in an ia-
sulting manner and, When asked TO leave,
refuses, and resists an attempt to put him
out, there is hardly man Of spirit that
will leave his house in possession of the
tramp and 60 for help, if he owns a
weapon. Peaceable citizens and proper
ty owners have some rights that tramps
ought to be taught to respect, and it is a
craven and dangerous morality that will
give up its own rights for fear Of shed.

The Debate on Finance.

The debate on finance was commenced
in the senate on Thursday. Senator Nor.
iill, Of Vermont, introduced bill TO fur
thor provide Tor the redemption OF United
States legal tender notes in accordance
with existing laws, and made one OF his
sound and able arguments, showing the
probability of resumption Of specie
payments on tho let of January, 1879.
In conclusion he moved that the bill
which he had introduced DO referred to
the committee on finance.
Mr.. Bogy, Of Missouri, objected to this
reference, as he wished to speak on the
bill in fortnight OF SO, and quite an au.
mated debate cnsued, lasting until after
tho gas was lighted.
Mosars. EdmuDds and Sherman advo.
Gated the reference of the bill, and assert.
cd that thus far no proposition for q re-
sumption of specie payments had been
presented by any democratic senator
Mr.. Edmunds was reminded Of their pre-.
decessors in 1861, who were in faver OF
preserving the Union, yet opposed all
legislation for that purpose.
Senators Bayard, Bogy. Eaton aud
Thurman opposed the reference Of the
bill, and insisted that the democrats
in the senate desired return to specie
payments Mr.. Bogy denied that there
would be any surplus revenue to be ap.
piled TO resumption.
THAT" replied Mr., Edmund de

All said Mr. Bogy, "the republic

their party to collect the revenue
YES" retorted Mr.. Edmnnds, al hon

lccted from among the republicans"
Tho bill was finally referred to tbt
finance committee of the senate. Senator
Sherman in his remarks declared tina
