Other great results of this financial

the unprecedented point, that its four

demption OF the six per cents, have been

THERE is a project before the Leg
islature to secure an appropriation
for the building of new buildings for
the Vermont Reform School. The
school now occupies the old Arsen-
al buildings at Yer gennes; and it
was the main argument for locating
the school at Vergennes that these
buildings could be occupied, and
thus save the State the cost OF
building. Now an appropriation OF
$4,000 or 100000 is asked for to
build a four story building with
French roof and Ell parts, which,
before it is finished will cost the
State probably more than Sl5O,OOO.
We cannot SEQ the necessity or wis
dom of this move. But there is
one matter in relation to the Re
form School that we should b. glad
to see carried through. and that is
the proposition to require each town
to pay 500 per week for each per
son committed from such town to
the Reform School. At present the
school seems to lie used as a sort
of asylum for paupers by the towns
in the Western part of the State.
while there are but few commit
ments from the Eastern part; and
if the proposed measure was car
ried through it would make the ex.
penses come more evenly on the
people according to the benefit they
derive from the Reform School.

Kidnapping the Eastern part Of the
State.

A bill has been introduced in the
lower house of the Vermont Legis'
iature, by Hugh Henry Of Chester,
proposing to remap the Eastern
part OF the State, aud making seri'
GUS changes in county lines. The
bill would take four towns from Or
leahs county and one from Caled0.
MIA and put them on to Essex coun'
ty; and give to Caledonia county
three towns from Essex and four
from Orange county. Orange coun'
" is given fourteen towns f'on
Windsor county, and gives VIII
Jamestown, Washington and Or
ange to Washington county. And
from Windham six towns are taken
and added to the balance Of Wind
sor county, making nice little, con
veniently smalIlcounty of Windsor,
which would revolve around the
town of Chester, the home OF the
originator of the bill.
The bill provides that the shire
town of Essex shall be Brighton
the shire of Orange to he located
by II commission mt some point be-
tween West Randolph and Sharon +;
and the Shire of Windsor to he To-
Gated in the same manner between
the village of Ludlow and Bartons
Vile in Rockingham.
We do not know how this bill viii

but so far as we can learn the PEG
pie of Orange comfy are opposed
to it almost to a man.
Under the the new arrangement I
Bradford, Newbury, Corinlh and
ropsham would have to 60 to ST.
Johnsbury to do County Court ana
Probate Court business Corinth
and Topsham going 40 to AZ miles,
while now they have ID to 20 miles
to go to County Court, and the
Probate business is more co nvenl'
emily and cheaply done than it
would be under the proposed new
order of things. Caledonia County
people will probably favor the pro
posed change because it will add to
the area and political Importance OF
that county, while it does not
break up its present organization ;
but we of Old Orange-the oldest
county in the state-do not favor
the idea of being hitched on to the
tail of the Fairbanks scale works
kite.
1t is urged in favor of the bill
that it would abolish six probate
districts and establish in their stead
only three districts, and thus make
a saving to the State in the matter
of salaries. This is only one side OF
the matter. Tho other Is that 1t
will increase the expense Of doing
business to the people, and thus
more than overbalance the saving
in taxation to support cur present
districts.

The Public Credit.

becoming alarmed at tine mere pos
siblity of the election of Tilden and
of the Democratic party getting con-
troll of the Government. The New
York Times, of October 20, says ;
"There is nothing improbable in the
report that foreign members OF the
funding syndicate refer with appre'
bpnsion in their correspondence to
the possible contingency of Demo
cratic success and its effect upon
the public credit y and adds, "th'
report harmonizes so well with what
was previously known upon the sub
iect that it cannot excite any rea
sonable surprice." NdOes, h0werer,
cause alarm. With Il vast array Of
Southern claims pressing upon Con.
gress, and only awaiting u change
of government to secure their pay
ment. the public credit under Dem
ocratic rule would fall even below
what it was under President Blu
cbanan, when a tax Of twelve pei
cent. was exacted by capitalists OIL
loans made to the Government to
meet the ordinary expenses of his
administration. In short, the en-
tire financial achievements of the
Republican party would be over
thrown. With the public credit de-
siroyed there could be no more OF
the Government securities funded
at per cent, or sold even at OF
z per cent. The bonds now held
abroad would be hastily returned to
the United States for redemption or
sale, and wide spread financial cri-
sis would foil ow, accompanied with
disaster and ruin. "Thc industry
and commerce of the country" as
the Times remarks, "would stagger
under the load. The funding pro,
cess would be at an end for this gen
Grafton, and Government securities
would be below par. And this, Sc
riouS as it may be in itself, is not
worst. The solid South would
press their own claims, and, being
in control of the Government, would
find means of obtaining payment
as long as the people could be made
to bear the imposition of taxes to
meet the payment of these demands
The Treasury being thus exhaust
ed, reputation of the State debt,
and finally the National debt itself,
would follow. In fact, wherever
they have control now the work OF

In the case of Podesta, Malatesta &
Co. VS.. the City, which involved the
question as to o~bstrucIing the sidewalks
and the right of merchants to put bar
rels, boxes, etc, on the sidewalk for
purposes Of shipping or receiving, Judge
Heiskell held that the city ordinance on
this subject was q general one, prohibit
ing the obstructing Of sidewalks, but the
ordinance did not specify what we're OBJ
structions. In the case above no citizen
had made complaint of any obstruction
and it was proved by defendants that
the barrels, ETC., which were on the side
walk in front Of their store did not create
an obstruction of said sidewalk. The
case in point was not covered by the
ordinance above mentioned. The city
has a right, however, to pass an ordi.
nance prohibiting the placing o. stor-
ing Of barrels, boxes, ETC., on any portion
Of the sidewalk and declaring such an
obstruction of the same, but the city has
not done so as yet. A verdict was rem.
dered for the defendants and against the
city upon these questions Of fact and law.
