Prior to the war, 1860. federal taxation
did not exceed sixty millions per an
mum; five years after its termination it
reached four hundred and fifty millions.
During the twelve years that have elaps-
ed since the termination of the war
mere than four thousand millions of
dollars have been taken from the people
by federal taxation, which immense
amount has been squandered and vast
ed, and much oft corruptly embezzled.
Year by year this great evil has been
set forth and combatted by the Demo-
cratic party, until the yearly taxation is
reduced 100 per cent, nearly, and with
this reduction perceptihle improves
ment appears in trade and commerce.
The moment approaches when the gov
eminent will pass into the hands of that
party and complete relief accrue to the
country. At such q crisis and in view
of such prospect, the Democrat who
sets up for himself or wanders off after
strange gods is blind to the best int.
rests of the country or actuated by sel-
fish and sinister motives.

an idle one. 1t rests on nothing, and

Body Stealing.

The business of body-snatching, to-
ward which popular Indignation mt the
West was recently directed by the
ritiing of John Scott Harrison's grave mt
South Bend, Ind, and the discovery of
the body in Cincinnati medical col
legc, is brought into still greater prom
lnence by the discovery of 40 dead
bodies in the picking watts of the medi-
cal college at Ann AlbOr, Mich. Singu-
larry enough the search for the body of
Young Devins, HarrisOn's townsman,
which led to the first discovery, was the
cause of the second also, his body being
found this time in the Ann Arbor watts
Detective Snelbaker of Cincinnati con-
Quoted the search, and, armed with the
necessary papers, he invaded the col
lege buildings last week, when no one
but the .janitOr was in charge. In the
cellar he nosed out three watts filed with
brine, and from these the officer COM
PEELED the janitor to fish out the bodies
of men and women, white and black, a
slckening mass, until 40 were piled up
on the floor, and the one sought for
recognized, with several others believed
to have been stolen from Cincinnati.
1t is charged that an authorized en-
pioye OF the college has made a regular
business of Iifiing the cemeteries of Gin
clnnati and its suburbs, and it is known
that the institution received some of
the subjects secured by Morton, the
grave-robber, arrested at Toledo last
January. 1t really looks as though the
business of body-stealing out West had
grown to very serious proportions, and
a decided reform is needed in the atti-
tude of the medical college authorities
toward it. They have no more right
to receive body which has been stolen
than the thief had to steal it. The
amount of it is that the law ought to
turn over the bodies of friendless Grim
mails and paupers to medical institu-
tions, and then they must be content
unless they can induce people to yolun-
teer the use of their bodies after thew
get through with them.-Springfeld Re

The Smith Murder Trial.

The trial of Dea. Ezra p. Smith, for
poisoning his wife, began at Middle
bury, the 18th, the prisoner appearing
pale and anxious as he was brought into
the court room. After jury was en-
paneled, States Attorney Woodbridge
reviewed the case, speaking of Smiths
infatuation for Mrs. Champlin, his de-
sire to get rid of his wife, the admins
tration of poison for this purpose dur
ing her illness, his success, and finally
his criminal intercourse with Mrs.
Champlin in room adjoining that in
which his dead wife lay. He also spoke
of the exhumation of the body, Prof
Golfers analysis of certain portions, the
discovery of poison, and Smiths offer
of money to have the examination stop
ped. Henry Ballard of Burlington fol-
lowed for the defense, saying that he
had no theories to advance, but was
willing to rest the defense on Dea,
Smiths former reputation, and the fact
that there was no sufficient motive for
the deed charged, on the fact that the
four doctors and the many relatives and
friends who had been with Mrs. Smith
during her illness had not suspected
poisoning, and on the indiscretions into
which a man charged with murder
might be led by ''friend,n who sought
only his destruction. He also claimed
that all Smiths correspondence with
Prof. Collier could be accounted for sat-
isfactorily.
The witnesses being called, Mrs. T.
G. Kinds of Vergennes, testified to Mrs.
Smiths symptoms, her thirst, her com
plants of burning as of live Goals in
her stomach, the presence of the deacon
and Mrs. Champlin at her death. and
the formers proposal to have PRAYERS
before the body was laid out. The
testimony of Mrs. E. B. Stewart. Mrs
COrnelia Seeger, a sister of the dead
woman, and Mrs. Mary E. Benedict.
with regard to Mrs. Smiths sufferipps'
was substantially the same. Drs. Arthur
kidder and Hopkins testified of her
condition, and agreed in having sum-
posed that her disease was cholera
morbus, with peculiar notifications ::
they suspected no poison. On exhumipg
the body four weeks later, found #
swollen and partly preserved, and thew
then considered it a case of arsepical
poisoning. Portions of the body were
placed in sealed jars by them and sent
to Prof. Collier at Burlington for anal
ysis.
On the 18th, Prof. Collier testified
that he examined the stomach and other
vlscera, and found one-seventh of a
grain OF arsenic i'll the liver. which in
dlcated that a sufficiently large quantity
had been taken to cause death. He
was offered $3.50 to stop the ANALYSIS.
Or. Goldsmith was called as an exnert
he said the finding of One-seventh of a

Republican County Convention.

AS we go to press, the Republicans
of the county are in convention in this
place to nominate county officers. We
hope to be able to give the nominations
in postscript in this edition. Whether
they shall be nominated or not, we see
no reason to change the sentiment of
an article in these columns of two weeks
ago, wherein the present incumbents of
the important offices were recommend
ed for reelection. 1t is not on the
ground that they have any claim upon
these offices, or because they want to
be re-elected,-if indeed they do,-but
because the people believe them better
fitted for the positions than any other
candidates named. We hope the voters
will so see it to-day.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION.


The meeting was called to order by
II. c. Fletcher, chairman of the County
Committee, and the call read, when
Hon. Luke P. Poland was elected tenn
pOrary chairman, and in taking the
chair made a brief address, touching
upon national politics, and warning the
people against the ultimate designs of
the Democracy, Notwithstanding the
majority in Congress has repudiated
the charge that the unseating of Presi-
dent Hayes was its object. He thought
if both the next Senate and House were
Democratic it would not take them long
to rescind that resolution.
Daniel Coffrin of Groton, and F. R.
Carpenter of Waterford were elected
vice presidents; C. NJ. Stone and l. w.
Sanborn, secretaries.
d. Trull of Burke, moved that NOM
mating committee of four from each
town represented be selected to nomi-
nate county ticket. This was opposed
by A. j. Willard, who moved an amend
ment, giving each town one member in
the nominating committee, and one for
each 50 votes more than fifty, and for
each fraction of so votes above 25.
The amendment was opposed by CAL
win Morrill,. Charles Wilson of Dan
vile, moved another amendment, that
each town be entitled to four votes, and
one additional vote for every 100 Re-
publican votes above the vote of the
smallest town.
Charles H. Davis of Danville, was
opposed to these amendments, and
wanted to go along in the good old way
giving each town an equal representa-
ton.
The amendments were further op-
posed by S. c. Otis of Sheffield, and
Charles Rogers of Wheelock. Mr.. Will
son supported his amendment with
vigor, as did E. P. Allen of this town.
The amendments were both lost, and
the motion of Mr.. Trull prevailed. A
committee on resolutions was appointed
by the chair, and the Convention re-
solved itself into town Conventions tc
nominate nominating committee.
The convention assembled in the
afternoon, and after waiting until :
O'Clock, the nominating committee re-
ported the following nominations
SenatOrs-S. S. Thompson, H. C
Belden.
Asst Judges-Joel Trull, E. w
Church.
States Attorney-H. E. Carter.
Sheriff.. Sulloway, Jr.
Judge Of PrObate.-Asa L. French.
High BaiRf-Daniel E. Coffrin.
We are still confident that the ma
jOrity of the Republicans of the count,
are in favor of re-electing Mr.. Ide fo
States Attorney, and Mr.. Preston TO
Sheriff, and if they say so at the ballo
box they will be elected.
Further proceedings next week.

~ The Democrats in the House
thought better of their ''fraud" business.
1t was doing too much to strengthen the
Republican party. The judiciary COM
mittee reported adversely on the Mary
land resolutions to contest the title of
President Hayes. The Committee takes
the ground that this Congress cannot
interfere with any contract made by a
former Congress. This means simply
that the Democratic House does not in
ten to repudiate the finding of the
Electoral Commission, and does not
contemplate any onslaught on President
Hayes or any revolutionary proceeding.
