Another Democratic. Official in
Trouble.

The democratic house does not get on
well with ito reform, If lis experience with
the officers with which it has surrounded
itself is teer. Charles IT, Smith, tie
journal clerk, who succeeded the venerable
and iDcorruptblc John NJ. Barclay, is to be
asked to resign. The committee on rules
after thorough investigation of his circu-
lar in connection with the bounty bill, TO-
gether with his letter defending it, has
unanimously decided that Smith must re-
sign OF be removed, and Mr.. Cox has bees
instructed TO write the report OF the COM
mittee against him.
The assistant journal clerk IL also said
to be in danger of removal, from some
cause unexplained. He was tried by Gen.
Joe Hooker upon the charge of having
abetted desertlon, was found guilty, and
served ont his sentence until the end of the
war. Whether this record secured his ap-
pointment does not appear.
The pompous, bury door keeper who
has so long been disrespectful to members,
and terror to the pages, was Tuesday re-
| tired for causes not crediiablc to himself,
and there are rumors that another high Of

gated upon charges OF having been indicted
more than once for grave offences. Two

investigated Boughton by the military

From the treasurers report it appears

From the treasurers report it appears
that the taxes, both highway and village,
have been collected and paid over with
commendable promptness--a practice the
collector has. 1t appears, however, that
the railroad tax, amounting 10 nearly five
hundred dollsrs-S407 56-is still uncol-
lected. We know not why this il so, but,
if the railroad company refuses to pay it,
the village should take such action as will
compel lis payment. There is no reason
why railroad companies should not be tax
ed, and pay their taxes too, az we'll as

PROVIDING FOR THE INTEREST.

OF the funded debt of the village of Rut-
land, thirty thousand dollars are classed ss
''reservoir bonds.' The interest on this,
to be paid in July we believe, is eighteen
hundred dollars. To pay this, the village
mustmake come provision. Nine hundred
dollars of this interest, at least, cannot be
postponed and suffered to go unpaid in
consequence of conflict of authority be-
tween village officers, as has been the case
in years past. Fifteen thousand dollars OF
these bonds were issued under the law OF
1874, which requires the treasurer, in case
suitable and seasonable provision IL not
made for the payment OF interest, to him
self and on his motion, assess tax suffi-
Gent to pay the same, and to deliver the
tax bill to The collector in ample time for
its collection SO as to meet the interest the
day it becomes due. So that one half of
this interest cannot be postponed or de-
layed. There is no reason why the whole
interest should not be promptly paid, and
there is no necessity for the village being
'oASu III lo pa}iuSut. ihc iutcIcfL Oh
the "wster bonds," so-called, has always
been paid out of the water rents, and with
out charge to the village. There is no
good reason why the interest on the reser-
voir bonds should not be paid in the came
way. The cid excuse, that the water
rents were necessary to pay the floating in
debtedness of the water commissioners, is
no longer tenable. That indebtedness,
which has been dragging along fer years,
has been entirely wiped out. The water
commissioners paid, during the past year,
over five thousand dollars of Indebtedness,
and they start, this year, with clean bal
ance sheet. These water rents amount to
nearly ten thousand dollars, and after pro-
vidlng for this interest, nearly eight thou
sand dollars will remain for repairs and
permanent fixtures. Surely, this is suiil-
cient in the present condition of the village.
We believe that we have board OF water
commissioners who feel that they are the
servants, not the masters, of the villsge,
and that they will obey the instructions OF
the tax payers in this respect,

A Brace of Vermont Bear Stories.


They tell OF Senator Foster, who lived
for many years at Brighton, VT, and who,
though not large man, distinguished him
self by great strength. Being in the
woods, one day, so the stary runs, be saw
two bear cubs lying on the ground, with
their noses turned toward each other. lie
had q gun, but he wanted them alive.
Placing his gun in position where he
could swing it under his arm, after he had
secured his prey, he crept softly by the
sleeping animals and suddenly grasped
each by the nose. lie expected in this
manner TO hold them so firmly that they
could not squeal, but one of them slipped
from his grasp. Nothing daunted, Jack
caught him by the hind leg, secured his
gun aud started Tor home on the run. The
cub whose nose was free set up loud cry,
and the Old mother soon made her appear
ance. Jack heard her crashing through
the bush after him. 1t was but so rods to
| the clearing, and he had but 10 rods the
start. Il was case of life and death, but
nc wouldn't give up the cubs. There was
| q high log fence just in the edge Of the
clearing, and fortunately a large log lay
alongside. With one tremendous bound
Jack leaped on the log Another mus
cular bound carried him over the fence in
to the field. Tae bear was on the fence as
Soon as Jack struck the ground. But she
hesitated a moment about following him in
the open field, and he sped away 80 fast
that she f1ally turned back into the WOO is,
and Jack escaped.
On another occasion this Nimrod was in
the woods uuarmed, one March day, when
the snow was six feet deep, and the sur
face so soft that no one could walk on it
without anow shoes, @ pair OF which Jack
had on. a bear which had just awakened
from his wiater nap made dive at him.
| He leaped away from the brute, but went
deep into the snow, and bruin was upon
him. The battle began, man and beast
rolling over each other in the desperate
struggle IA often ss the bear tried to
seize him with her teeth OF ovcrpower him
him with the fatal hug, Jack would always
save himself by kicking her in tho nose
With his snow shoes. Finally, with one
fierce plunge Of claws and teeth, the brute
fastened upon Jack, aud, fsiling to hold
him, tore off al his clothing at q single
swoop, but fortunately, just at that mo
moment, DO lit the top Of her nose mos,
powerful kick. A blow on the end of the
nose causes pain so acute as to disable 6
bear for time, and it had that effect il
this case. The brute gave back little
and while she was winclng under the pain,
Jack regaincd his feet and got several stepl
Aaway. His assailant started after hin
again, but the snow WAS soft and she al
most buyied herself at every step, vhilt

Warning to American Exhibitors.

The Philadelphia Ledger of the 10Th
sounds this centennial warning In one
month from to-day the centennial inter-
national exhibition will he opened. If
American exhibitors expect to have their
displays ready by that time if they hope
to make any sort Of Creditable comparison
with their competitors from other countries,
they will have to move with great deal
more activity than they have shown down
to this time. 4 visit made to the exhibit
ton grounds on Saturday, showed Q
slight Improvement in this respect dur
ing 1.-THE last week. Some work Ia
the matter of putting up fixtures on
the American spaces in the main build
ing and in machinery hall was going
on, but nothing in cooparison with the ac-
tivity and the forward state OF the arrange
ments among the foreign commissioners
and their exhibitors. The latter have had
the experience of four great International
exhibitions to teach them the dangers Of
| procraslination, and, as consequence,
| their spaces in the main building are alive
with workmen, their fixtures and decora-
| tive worl; are In very forward state, and
| their areas are covered with acres of goods
and packages. Some months ago the fear
| expressed everywhere outside OF Philadel-
PhIa was, th"t tNo puiiNI"SS "V"iu NOV w
ready; they were on too vast scale ESQ it
was said, to be completed in season. But
the buildings are ready the principal
buildings have been ready for more than q
month and if there is any resson to fear
unreadiness on the part Of anybody now,
1t ia because Of the inexcusable Hardness
| of the most of the American exhibitors,
who delay, and delay, and delay, and who
| will come tumblinQ in during the last week
or this month, yexing themselves and
everybody else by trying to crush the work
Of month into few days or hours.

Taxation Of Church Property.

The constitution of California has al
ways required the taxation of all real prop
erty, and the practice has followed the let
ter of the law and taxed churches equally
with other property. And California ranks
with Wisconsin and Kansas as a go-to-meet-
ing state, too. She is very proud of this
and of her other judicial discovery in the
equity Of taxatlon-that mortgages arc not
properly, and cannot be taxed.
