by Mr. Billings will be Of great good.
Young men Of moderate means might
have aid extended them by the state TO
get higher education in this institution.
If the library is given more room it
should be by separate building. Aphra-
seology of bills would give clearer worded
laws. A law providing for an attorney
general would probably be beneficial. The
proposals OF amendment TO the con-
stitution should be carefully examined
and those as TO pardons. The oath as to
holding federal Office, the election of Ger
tain state officers and prohibition arc in
the right line.
There should be legislation requiring
the signers ofoflicial bonds to make oath as
TO their property. There are 16 savings
banks, with total deposit of Sl2, 675 1863,
an increase in two years of SS.599, 955.
The tax on deposits last year was
S53, GSl, of which the towns got $40 100
and the state SlO,92O. The Inspector of
finance should be given more power in
his duties rs to savings banks.
The insane asylum is ciedtably man
aged and is in good condition; bus it has
too many inmates and the harmless, in
durable insane poor might receive no
injury if sent back for care by the towns.
The law as TO admission may be loose but
the supervisors have power and it is
their dnty TO guard against injustice. A
new asylum would cost S3O0,0O0. The
state paid for its beneficiaries in 1861 $5,-
0Gj and in 1882 S37,1
The demand for labor has diminished
crime. The expenses Gncluding new
buildings at the prison and reform school)
of the prison for two years have been
S7512G; house of correction S27,
and reform school $37,179; and there
has been returned for convict labor from
prison S25,354; house of correction S14-
1868; reform school Sl,O71. The law
requiring towns to contribute to expenses
ut reform schools should not be repealed.
The militia is in good shape and the
state should keep up a good organization.
The board of agriculture serves good
purpose. The fish law needs some
changes.
The present tax law has worked we'll i.
But it is questionable whether our state
tax should not be raised on corporations
or according to population. The supreme
court it is claimed has work enough for
the present number of judges. The rail-
road commissioner suggests law requir-
ing more secure heating apparatus, ETC., in
cars.
There should be board of railroad
commissioners and the relations of rail.
road corporations to the people should
receive careful examination that there
may be no harm done to local interests.
Vermont does not grow like most of the
states and we should take care that our
laws are such as to foster enterprise.

The October Elections.

The indications are that the democrats
elected their state ticket in Oaio yesterday
hv : round majority ;.nd that they gain
five Or six congressman,
In West Virginia the democrats are also
successful although the republicans have
probably succeele in clecting one of the
four congressman.
In Ohio the republicans los. their Ger
man vote and contrary to the predictions
of various correspondents, their losses
were not confined to the large cities but
extended throughout the state.
The Ohio campaign will bear study by
several sets of folks as very prsbable will
the New York and Pennsylvania contest:
when they are closed. 1t is Il pretty good
fall for folks to learn few lessons.

The Legislature.
STATE House, Oct.

10 he Editor of he Freeman The
announcement of the standing committees
by the speaker. yesterday, puts both the
Houses into working tune, and it is to be
hoped that they will now transact business
as rapidly as may be consistent with a
thorough consideration of the subjects
before them. Bills are not coming in as
thickly as they did in the last two legisla-
lures. and it looks as though the faith
which some of our fellow citizens have
seemed to possess, that tho world could be
reformed and made perfect by act of the
legislature has waned. Ny own observa-
ton of the members leads me to believe
that this will be conservative legisla.
ture; that few bills will be passed; and
that but slight changes will he made in
the laws as they now stand. l do not
believe that any serious modification oil
the tax law will occur or that the JudevinC
highway bill,7which is!the bette 10irc oil
all travellers will be abolished. 1t saves
the towns great deal of money, and has
as the roads undoubtedly are. accidents do
not occur nearly as frequently as they are
alleged to, under the damage law. This
argument will be potent in favor of the
Judevine act.

The United States supreme court assem- ..
blcd for the October term yesterday,
when the political assessment case, cx
parte Newton NJ. Curtis will coma up. In
this case leave will be asked to file
petition for writ of habcas corpus and
argument heard thereon. The writ is
asked for by the petitioner IN order to
relieve him from imprisonment under a
Judgment of the circuit court of the south
ern district of New York. That Judgment,
it will be remembered, was rendered,
upon his conviction under an Indictment
charging him rs an employee of the United
States with having received money on
petition for political purposes from other
employees of the government contrary to
to law. Counsel for the petitioner will
argue that the circuit court had no URLS
diction either of the cause or the person,
because, list, the act under which Gen.
Curtis was convicted is unconstitutional
ID. Gen. Curtis, was neither m executive
officer nor an employe of the United
States, and Sd, the persons from whom the
money was received were not employees
of the United States within tho meaning
Of tho statute.

idea undoubtedly is TO close the door, at
the expense OF some harshuess, against
tho fraudulent concealment of property to
avoid taxation. Mr.. Ffench's bill is q
copy of the Law recently put upon the
Massachusetts statute book as IAN expert
ment, and its object is TO relieve mort
cages of the burden of paying taxes upon
real estate, all of which stands in their
names; but upon which they have only
made partial payments. Such design is
certainly equitable in theory; but it is
very questionable if it will work well in
practice. If such law were passed, there
is and will be great danger rather that the
amount realized upon the taxation of
real estate will be much smaller than
now. or that the mortgages, when they
found the payment of a share was TO de-
volve upon them, would fJreclose; the
over due mortgages, AMI make new
trade in where the ,mortgager would ex-
pressly engage to pay all the taxes. No
tax is so certain as one levied against the
real estate itself which the person in
whom the record title vests is bound to
pay to save the property; and this fact
will always tend to maintain the law as it

which he fully duplicates his mother.
AMENDING THE TAX LAW.
| have already noticed tho proposed
amendments to the tax law introduced by
Judge Thompson. Oilers are trying their
hands, the two most remarkable products
being n bill QI. 22) introduced by Mr..
Lynde of Dummerston which provides
that if person, etc, wil(ulIy neglects to
ill out his tax inventory Us required by
law, then the listers shall assess such per-
son, etc., such sum as they deem such
nerson, etc, to be worth above his visible
taxable property and add the visible taxa
able property and double these and take
one per cent of the sum for tho grand list.
and that the selectmen may entertain
appeals from II tax payer whose lists have
been doubled if at the time of taking such
appeal he files an inventory of his
taxable property as required by law,
and blk (U.2S,) introduced by Mr. sherl
dan of Highg te which provides IL pen
atty of from so to $4,000 or imprison
ment from six months to three years, OIL
both, for wilfully refusing to make ar
inventory, ETC., and makes it tho duty OF
the states attorney TO prosecute such
delinquent, and in case no neglects tt
prosecute after notice, he shall be liable tc
$1,000 fine, one half Of such 600 to 60
to the nformcr]
OF course there is no probability tha
either of the bills will pass. They serve
to bring their authors into little notori
city, and bring some discrcdit on the law
itself, which needs but very little tinker
ing.
