BRATTLEBORO:
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER G, 1878.


Our returns, elsewhere published, indicate
all that is known of the result of Tuesdays
election up to the hour of going to press, and
leave little to be said by way of comment
The vote polled was light one, as was ex-
pected, with the natural result of somewhat
reduced Republican majority. In the Third
District the Barlow boilers have succeeded in
defeating IN election-but in this movement
they will not have the sympathy of the best
Republican sentiment of the State.
Iu this county it will be seen that practi-
cally solid Republican vote was polled-the
only effect of the Independent" movement
having been, with few exceptions to draw
away from the regular Democratic ticket. As
we had reason to expect, but very few Re
publicans were beguiled by promises of sham
Democratic Reform"
Despite all claims made to the contrary the
county sends n unanimously Republican del
egaton to the legislature.

The sale of the four per cent bonds contin-

sanguine anticipations of the treasury official
single order last Saturday called for $2O,-
600, 600 worth of the bonds 1t is stated that
2j additional presses have been at work to
keep up with the demand. The fact of the
large and increasing sale of these bonds is n
very hopeful indication. 1t shows that peo-
pie of moderate means are not being disturb
ed by the attacks of regulators and flat mon
ey advocates upon the credit of the country,
and that confidence is returning.

The yellow Fever,

The cry of distress from the infected dis
tricts in the South is more heart-rendnp than
ever. Physicians, nurses, undertakers and
grave dggers in the various sections are COM
pletely exhausted, and are sinking under the
terrible burdens imposed on them. People
are found dying in houses without any one to
give them even a drink of water, and whole
families have been swept away by the plague.

negroes IN some sections are riOtously inclined

SMUGGLING on THE MEXICAN BORDER. A
Treasury official who was sent to examine
the FL Paso Customs district on the Rio
Grnnde has made general report on the con-
dition of affairs on the Mexican border which
will attract much attention. This officer
maintains that smuggling is the normal con-
dition of the inhabitants along both sides of
the border, whether Texans or Mexicans :
that it is impossible to enforce the existing
tariff laws of either country, and that the on
ly real solution of existing complications is
in reciprocity treaty with Mexico, if not alb
solute free trade. The country, he reports.
is the smuggler's paradise. Smuggling is the
business of the people. There is no public
sentiment opposed to it, Merchants openly
sell goods that they know are to be delivered
by pack mules in Mexico. They arrange to
receive goods knowing that they have been
struggled into Texas. The customs author-
ties upon either side appear to have no con-
science as to the international wrong of SNUG
Cling and countenance it by their silence
The burdens of the Mexican tariff, he claims,
are particularly oppressive against this coun-
try The agent says that the Mexicans still
pillow with stick and drive an ancient Roman
chariot With heavy wooden wheels, yet their
tariff upon American carriages and wagons is
from SGG to s39G each The Mexicans ex-
port quantities Of hides. yet the tax on boots
and shoes is from s. to $3.50 per dozen.
imported from the United States, yet the du-
ty on powder is from 50 cents to 50 per
pound, and the Mexican tax upon American
cotton goods is in many cases more than the
original cost, being from II to 80 cents per
square yard.

Attempts makng here, ana from here 10 pro-

extreme and to involve very radical changes Mr.
Wood and his subcommittee have kept in view tho
idea that radical changes should be avoided

1t should further be borne mind that all reports
