The Way They do it.
From the Petersburg, Va., Post.

A negro man named Jim DAVIS was
tried by magistrate in Dinwiddie coun-
ty last week for stealing from Sandy
Shands. The trial ended at midnight
and according to the sentence of the
court Jim Davis was given at that hour
thirty-nine stripes and ordered to leave
the county.
In Delawase the convict is imprisoned
after the logging, but the Virginia mode
seems to be an Improvement. 1t should.
however, be still further strengthened
be one of the Delaware provisions which
disfranchises the convict in the county
where his offense was committed.

Three Chester men who drove to Will

shop, which they did not find, returned
to this city, looking much the worse for

pants.-CheSter Ne,cs.

sugar controversy which has been set
on foot here and in Washington, through
the persistent attacks upon the New
York sugar refners, which for months
past have been through portion of the
press, and through various other chan
nels, ostensibly by some American i'm
porting houses, but really by an asso-
citation of Cuban sugar planters and
dealers, who are working from 'behind
the scenes" The charges made against
the refners are that they defraud the
government and adulterate their sugars.
Both of these charges are utterly base
less, and as to the latter, its absurdity
is so evident that it hardly seems posi-
BILE that it should gain credence any
where; and yet learn from the largest
wholesale grocery houses in the city
that the story of adulteration has in
some quarters scared their customers
into refusing to buy American refined
sugars. Truth, they say, lies at the bot
tom of well but in this case it is
bound to come to the surface. And
when the truth is known the animus as
well as the falsity of these rumors will
be plainly seen. If the agitation con-
tinues, l shall devote a letter to the
subject, including description of the
processes of sugar refining. RADIx.

The Trade Dollar.

Mr.. EditOr:-In your last issue you
remarked that the discrimination in
favor of the Bland Dollar, by our banks,
is not apparent. May not the diff
Guilty, if it is difficulty, lie still farther
back, in the fact that the Trade Dollar
is neither a legal tender, nor receivable
by the government in payment of duties
on Imports The trade dollar, as !
understand it, was coined for the for
eign trade, probably China,) to furnish
a demand for the silver produced by
our mines, in excess of home needs.
In order to supplant foreign coinage,
and especially the Spanish Dollar,
which was largely in circulation in
China, it was thought necessary to coin
it equal in fneness and u grains heavi-
Ell than the dollar of the United States.
To secure its expectation the circula-
ton at home had to be prevented.
The reason for rejecting all foreign
coinage, though perhaps in some cases
superior in weight and fineness, is
probably the same, i. e. to prevent
competition with our own. This seems
to be the theory of our legislators. How
it works in practice is quite another
question. l..

wholesale debauching of voters there
must have been, to effect the surprising
result of September.
And yet, no matter how often or how
clearly these cases may be proved
against him, Bradley BarIow's standing
as a politician, will not be seriously
effected. If he were to run for Con-
gress tomorrow, probably every one
of these papers could be induced to
support him as easily as before. When
ever he wants anything in Vermont,
the whole horde of political bummers
and Republican managers can be set to
work for him, the press as usual will
be Favorable" the nominating con-
ventions can be captured, and the mass
of voters will follow ''the party" 1t is
not at all unlikely that two years hence
the Republican party of the third dis
trict, which he has just threshed, will
receive him with open arms and adopt
him as its regular candidate. And idiots
will go on prating about the superior
virtue of the Green Mountain State

The Politics of the Third District.

After fixing upon Mr.. Earle of the
Morriville Citizen, by affidavit, the fact
that he admitted that Mr.. Barlow gave
him $500 to support him for Congress,
the Brattleboro Retormer says:
This can only be construed as an adj
mission of guilt, and as proof of all we
have ever said about the debauchery OF
Vermont politics. 1t is only necessary
to read the comments of the third dis
trict newspapers, to see how common
place and natural they regard this dis
graceful affair. The Burlington Free
Press, Middlebury Register, and New
port Express, are the only journals Sc
far as we have seen, that find words to
condemn it, as indeed they were almost
the only ones, apparently TO withstand
the allurements of BarlOw's money
The Burlington Clipperapproves Earle'S
conduct outright. The Sunday Review
Sentinel, Advertiser, SwantOn Courier
and lesser sheets, either defend or ig-
more. Even Albert Clarke's Messen-
ger, which has hitherto borne the rep
utatiOn of cleanliness, and outspoker
hostility to this kind of politics, says
not word. Apparently, for ought il
would ever do to enlighten the public
Barlow might go on indefinitely to push
himself into Office by corruption and
bribery, more fragrant and shame-faced
even, than that it denOunces in the
Southern states or in New York.
But if Earle, who hated Grout, wa;
paid $500 for supporting Barlow, how
much must have been paid to those
regular Republican editors, who frs
hoisted CIRCUITS name as their candidate
and afterwards ate their words, joined
hands with the greenbackers whom they
had denounced, and went to every
length of indecency and sycophancy t.

money must have been used, what

Diptheria.

With the scourge of diptheria all
through our country, and with good
prospect of its raging in this state the
present winter, any information that
can be published which will operate as
a preventive of the dread disease should
be gladly welcomed. DR.. Durant of
Danville has communication in the
last Star, a portion of which, at least,
will come under that head, and from
which we quote:
1t is not our purpose to suggest any
mode of treatment, any further than to
state that carbOlic acid is undoubtedly
the best disinfectant known, and if used
freely and constantly, by inhalation,
and as Il gargle, would probably greatly
diminish the chances OF contracting the
disease. OF course, perfect cleanliness
is also a preventive, for any infectious
disease will spread more rapidly in a
filthy atmosphere. But the best means
of preventing the extension of diptheria
is the same as adopted for small pox,
namely, complete iSOtdtiOn.-Until it is
confined in this manner, by authority of
lao, it will spread from house to house,
and from neighborhood to neighbor-
hood, just us it is spreading in this To-
cality at the present time. Public
funerals of those who die of diptheria
should be prohibited by law, as much
us in case of those who die OF small pox
yea more, because we have Il preven-
tative of small poX in vaccination, but
none of dipthera.
As to the time required to render
house safe, where the atmosphere has
been infected with diptheria, it Is i'm
possible 20 :*~." but probably much
longer than in case of small pox. me
parasites are very tenacious of life no
degree of cold affects them; and DR..
Ephraim Gutter of Boston writes that
he has specimen of diptheritic mem
brane kept three and one half years in
strongest solution of carbOlic acid, and
still the containing liquid is swarming
with parasites and spores. We had a
case at Mr.. Millen Morrill's in this town,
contracted by sleeping in room where
Mr.. MOrrilfs child had had the disease
and died of it, some three months be-
fore.

says just before giving the command to
march ''Boys, they are about sitting
