RtTLANp. July 8 - The matter of the
scandal in this town. with which the name
Of Gen. II. II. Baxter IL connected, came
to an end to-day. The woman who had
threatened to expose and give publicity to
certain matters duplicating ten. Baxter,
was before Judge DuniOn on a writ OF ha-
beaS corpus, and her counsel Withdrew the
writ and consented that the Judge
should issue an order remandlng her to
the custody of the superintendent OF the
insane asylum. who was present Alter
consultation with other medical gentleman
1t was decided that when the woman was
sent to the asylum she was insane. but she
was now 50 tar recovered a. TO render il
safe to commit her b the care of Ter friends,
which was done. Ii j. now admitted by all
parties, 30 Tar a. can be learned, that the
woman was insane at the time she threaten
ed to make declarations damaging to Gen
Baxter or was attending u lew black
mail. She admits there Is NJ truth in the
charges she has made, and no one believes
word of them. On the second day Of
June. 1877, Mrs. PsysOn wrote letter to
Gen. Elxtsr. in which she demanded the
sum of $1,000 or she would make
damaging disclosures. General Baxter
Of course paid no attention to the
threats. Ii is but due ID hIm TO say that
neither he nor his friends had any part in
the proceedings taken 70 send this woman
~ the insane asylum, nor in the assault
upon a correspondent of the Boston paper,
for the report he made. General Baxter
never had more fully the confidence of the
people of Rutland than now. There Is
sufficient in the threatening letter to Gen.
Baxter to send Mrs. Pavson to the states
prison. If she was saae and responsible for
her aets.

The &" Brattleboro Plan"

We copy from Scribner'5 Magazine The
somewhat Noticeable article on methods
OF enforcing the prohioitory law oil Vermont,
by c. NJ. Bliss, Esq, OF Bennington en-
titled % The Brattlehoro Plan That plan,
Is thus set forth, is to use the law, not Tor
the absolute and entire suppression OF the
liquor traffic, but for the suppression OF
nuisances, in the shape of rum holes and
open bars and to do this by the appliea-
tion Of the lesser rather than the larger
penalties OF the law. Brattleboro, 1t Il
hardly necessary to say to our YER
mont readers, has no patent on this
plan" 1t has been tried in many
other places, this city among Others.
Some of our most sagacious temperance men
have always maintained that the most ehee-
tive method Of depressing the liquor saloons
is to prosecute frequently and perslstentiy
for FIRST offences" Under daily prosecu-
ton, and fine of ten dollars and costs, the
business soon becomes Improbable, and is
dropped in disgust. Other experienced and
earnest men prefer to seek the same result
nv the short cut Of fewer and heavier penal
frs The law, as it now stands on the
statute book, gives to such all the pO'ref
thev need but without a public sentiment
back of the law, in practice the shorter does
not ALWAYS prove the surcr method. 1t is
the great merit Of the law that it is adapta-
bic to the va-ying conditions found in differ
ent communities. .
Where the prevailing sentiment sustains IT.
&c in MANY of the smaller villages, the
traffic in liquor is practically abolished; in
larrer towns the law often becomes, as in
Brattleboro, merely means of suppressing
notorious nuisances Everywhere it ayails
to make the traffic discreditable, because
unsuccessful, and to drive it out of sight,
thus largely removing temptation-from men
of impaired self-eontrol. No man has the
bottle pressed upon his view, or his appe
tite for drink aroused by tempting signs and
placards; and this is something.
Of course, the Brattleboro plan, so called,
can be adopted only by the general consent
of the community Any three resolute citi-
zens OF BrattleborO can compel the applica-
ton of the extreme penalties of the law, IN
cases open 70 such penalties.
