Some Wholesome Suggestions.

The New York Tribune appeals to the
south Men of the south, word with you.
You are beaten again. Give it up now.
The ideas of the rebellion will never tri-
umph in this country. You can never run
this government on the principles for which
Lee and jackson fought. You will never
again have as good chance to win as you
had this time. Why knock your heads
against the walls of northern sentiment
Half million Of men did not die for moth
ing during those four terrible years which
you remember so well. This is a nation.
Its citizens are all equal before the law.
Why not manfully recognize these two great
facts which Tuesdays election emphasized
anew Give up your notion that it is your
duty to your section 10 stand by the party
which sympathized with the south during
the war. No section has any claims upon
you. Sectionalism is dead. The Union
one and indivsible, alone has a right to
your allegiance. Open your minds to the
lesson Of the hour Let bygones be bygones
and resolve that in future there sh all be toll
erance and fair play in your states, and thai
the right of every citizen to vote as h,
pleases and have his vote honestly countet
shall be protected. One thing more. Dom
you think you have trusted the northern
Democracy long enough Has 1t ever helpe,
you has it not repeatedly deceived 20,
with false promises and left you to bear Tn,
brunt of defeat Why not try the party o
ideas and progress now 7 II cherishes n,
malice. Repnblicanism is just as we'll adapte'
for your latitude as for ours"

Explained.

Twenty-Five thousand colonists silently
stole into New York, and after election as
silently stole away is the Argus very rea-
souable explanation of the result in New
York. Who saw this army Of colonists come
in or who saw it depart deponent saith not.
The railways and steamboats, gave no indi-
cation after election day of the departure
Of this great army. Vermont and other
New England states have the credit of con-
tributing to recruit its ranks. The MAORI
ties given by those states would seem to in
dictate that their full quota of voters was
at home. 1t must have been an army OF
spirits that descended on Gotham on that
eventful day, materialized long enough to
vote, and then vanished. But why does the
Argus seek SO far for an explanation that is
apparent and acknowledged by the honest
men in its party2 1t cannot save its bacon
with its deluded followers by this thin dis
guise Its general unrelisbleness is known
and read Of all men, and long ago the Yer
mont Democracy declared it weighed ant
found wanting. To hear the party tha
traversed the land from Maine to Oregon
and Florida, four years ago, negotiating fo
an electoral college that twelve years ag,
cast, as has been proved, sixty-eight thou
sand fraudulent votes in New York; tina
has blotted out by violence and fraud half
million votes in the south that uttere,
forged letters, stole private dispatches, sub
orned perjury, tempered with affidavits an,
hotel registers, to carry the recent presiden
tial election, whine about being beaten b,
frauds,-is a piece of brazen-fsced impu
dence that only men politically debauche,
can assume.

The Negro Exodus.

The negroes of Alabama and Louisiana
are leaving their homes where perpetual
summer reigns for the Indictment northern
regions. The movement is in active prog
ress, and is likely to grow into formidable
proportions. What can be the pressure be
hind these throngs of unhappy people that
impels them to turn their faces northward
at the time when winter with its 'rigors is
mercilessly descending upon our land :?
They are prepared neither by constitution
nor in the means of physical comfort for
such change. The ills they have been en-
during must certainly be of no ordinary
severity to prompt them at this time to
"fy to others they know not Of" The
hopelessness of despair would seem to be
the only theory on which the renewal of the
exodus can reasonably be explained. The
exodus of a year ago was finally stopped by
assurances from influential southern men
that in the future they would be protected
and their rights would be respected. The
experience of the past few months has
shown that these promises have shared
the fate of many similar southern pledges
There may have been less of actual bru,
tality and murder such as was formerly
inflicted by the Ku Klux, but the colored
people have not been humanely treated
They have been wantonly cheated in their
dealings with the whites, and their political
rights ruthessly suppressed, or, if allowed to
exercise the right of suffrage, their votes
have been thrown out in the count or
swamped by tissue ballots. 1t would seem
at this distance that the negroes would do
better to remain and endure for awhile their
present evils, rather than, impoverished and
where nature can no longer befriend them,
and where they must, to large extent, be-
come objects of charity. We have had one
exodus Investigation. 1t was conducted by
the Democracy, not in the interest of the
prosecuted race, but to fasten upon the
Republicans the responsibility Of the move
ment in connection with some deep-laid plot
to carry the elections in doubtful northern
states. No such purpose was disclosed, and
no remedy for the evils and hardships of the
exiles was provided or suggested. The in
vestigation was Democratic in its selfish
ends, and barren of humane results. 1t
would seem to be the wiser course for these
people to wait patiently for the Republican
return to power. If Republican admins
tration cannot or does not protect these
people, remove the impelling cause of this
| disastrous exodus, disastrous alike to blacks
and to whites, north and south, it will be
false to the people who have with so much
brave resolution put the national power in
its hands.

and state normal school is still the subject Of
conjecture. The bill allowing states attor-
neys to prosecute by information, practically
abolishing the grand jury, failed to pass.
The house has conferred the right OF suf-
frage in school meetings on select few Of
the female sex who have property and pay
taxes. The bill will doubtless pass the SEN
ate. A bill is pending to fix salaries of state
officers as follows; Secretary Of state 81 200,
treasurer $1,000, auditor $1,000, adjutant
and inspector general $500, quartermaster
general 5000, librarian $1,000, superinten-
dent Of agriculture $500 and travelling ex-
penses not to exceed $1,000. The senate
has adopted on its part Judge Dunton's pro-
posal of amendment changing time Of state
elections to first Tuesday after first Monday
in November, and the time for the assembling
of the legislature to the first Wednesday in
January. Judge Judevine's highway dam
age bill has passed the house. The joint
committee on the revision of the laws is
ready to report. The assembly will doubt
less accept on faith the report of its efficient
committee, and wisely not undertake to re-
view the work in detail. The listing bills
and Governor Pages tax bill will open up q
fruitful field for debate and put to a severer
test the honesty and efficiency of the legisla-
ture than any other measure that will come
before it. It is devoutly to be hoped that
after consultation with their constituents"
the members will return to their duties i'm
bued with an ardent emulation to treat these
and all other matters in business-like man.

SuppOrt Of Government.

The bill reported to the house on Thurs
day by Mr.. Page Of Rutland, from the com.
mittee on ways and means, contemplates
a radical innovation in the ways and means
Of raising revenue for the support Of the
state government. 1t is an innovation in
Vermont, but the sources which this bill
says shall be tapped for revenue have long
been utilized by other states. For the year
ending May 81, 1880, New Hampshire raised
$S7,9l5.53 from her railroads; S7,3S9.79
from insurance s90l from telegraph, and
s47S.60 from express companies. From
license fees, from peddlers, from fertilizer,
tree and shrub, and lghtning-rod dealers,
the state raised $3.50. Illinois pays all its
state expenses, is now out Of debt, and has
not paid its expenses or Indebtedness by
taxation. Its railroads and other sources of
taxation yield the requisite revenue. The
Illinois Central railroad pays into the state
treasury seven per cent of its gross earnings,
but is exempt from all other taxation, state
or local. It is not presumable that ex-Gov-
ernor Page has been so fortunate as to con-
struct tax bill entirely free from defects,
but it is right that the sources on which he
purposes to levy for the support of govern
ment shall pay their just share of taxation,
and when fair hearing on this bill has been
had, members should not hesitate, in the
conscientious discharge Of their duties, to
assess equitably every legitimate source of
revenue, however private interests may be
affected thereby. A synopsis of Mr.. Pages
bill will be found in the legislative proceed
ings. Under its provisions it is main
tanned that sufficient revenue would be
raised to pay the entire expenses of the state
government and leave about $iS0,000 to be
distributed to the towns The taxes assessed
on the gross receipts of railroads alone would
amount to over $4,000, on banking institu-
lions about s25OO0 on savings banks and
trust companies over 100000, being double
the amount assessed by the act of 1878 and
which the inspector of finance is of opinion
is already as large as these institutions can
afford to pay. Fire insurance companies are
assessed three-fourths of one per cent on the
gross amount of premiums and assessments,
and life companies one-half of one per cent.
Express and telegraph companies are each
assessed three per cent on gross receipts.
The bonds, certificates, and evidences Of
debt Of corporations are taxed one per cent
Of the true value of such property, and
4 al at ID
uals are also taxed one per cent on the ag-
gregate amount of such personal estate.
Listers are directed to set in the lists
of the several towns all the polls of each
Of such towns at one dollar each. The
bill makes suitable provision for elicit
ing under oath all necessary information
from officers of corporations and private in
dividuals, and provides penalties for failure
to comply with its various requirements.

INSANE ASYLUM BURNED. The insane asylum
near st. Peter, Mimi, was burned last week Mon
day night. The loss on the building was $500, 900
This, however, is Of little consequence compared
with the terrible loss Of life not less than twenty
and estimated as high as fifty, having persisted
either in the flames or by freezing. The scenes
were hesrtrending in the extreme. Many refused
TO leave the building and ran up and down the
halls screaming and crying. and acting like the
bedamites they were. Those who could not be
coaxed nor driven out suffered horrible death
In pit OF flames. Others were saved by means
OF ladders, and some leaped from the windows.
Some were nearly nude, and all were exposed to
the exceeding cold OF the night. Many OF the
poor crazed inmates fled as II for their lives, and
could not be overtaken or confined. Those who
had escaped the flames at large half clothed,
and were to be seen flying in all directions in
wild fright. The air was bitter cold. The capa-
city Of the building had been tried to its utmost
There were about six hundred patients. and every
inch OF space was utilized. What will be done
with the poor creatures is a serious question, as
their malady is increased by the excitement Of
the occasion.
