During the past week tho Now York
Times has been drawing life size portraits
of Mr.. Conk ling. 1t presents him in his
great act as Jay Goulds man, seeking to
influence Governor Cornell in the interest
Roscoe's majestic silence over the revela-
tion, the Times well remarks that his pc
litcal record is not such as will of itself
be REPUTATION of the charges, for it
adds, :" lie has been more or less directly
connected with more trafiicking, intrigue,
and political corruption than any other
man in his position for the last quarter of
a century His whole line of action in
politics has been the steady, urhesitating
prostitution of great public trust to low
partisan and personal ends, principally the
latter. Tho very foundation of the
spells system, ON which Mr.. Conkling's
power rested in so conspicuous degree.
is the use of public Office for private ends.
And it is one Of the most striking
signs of the Generalization which the
spoils system has worked in certain circles
that there are found men, at this day, to
say that a reputation so hollow, so Gu
riously pretentious and fictitious, as that
of this arch huckster of patronage is in
itself, an adequate defense to the grave
charges lately submitted to the public

An exchange says: Nathaniel Baker,

and, for conscience sake, he asks that his
name be stricken from the pension roll. =
But where there is one honest citizen like
this man, whom no pension agent shark
can induce to bleed the National Trea-
sury, there are a hundred ready to trump
up the slightest reason for putting in a
claim for n pension. There are many
worthy persons who deserve this sort of

In the minds Of all persons who have given
the matter any consideration, we suppose it
must be clear just what it is hoped to accom-
plish, in the matter Of giving Brattleboro a
free public library, by the contemplated &C
ton to be taken at the annual meeting next
Tuesday. In brief and in full, the Brattle-
boro library association proposes to give the
town its entire library property, provided the
town will accept the gift. furnish suitable
place for its accommodation, and make neces-
sary provision for It's maintenance and in
crease.
The responsibility which the acceptance Of
this gift will devolve upon the town will not
be an onerous one, and the amount Of money
which may be raised and expended by the
town for library purposes in any one year is
defined and limited by the statute. As we
have previously stated, the law allows a sum
of money, not exceeding one dollar for each
ratable poll, TO be raised at the outset to found
a library, and sum not exceeding fifty cents
for each ratable poll in each succeeding year
II the town were to vote library tax Of one
dollar per poll next Tuesday, the tax would
not amount TO more than four cents on dol
lar of the present grand list, and the sum
which each poll would pay would not exceed
eight cents. Is there a person in Brattleboro
who would feel such a tax for such purpose,
to be burdensome
The property of the library association,
which it is proposed TO give to the town, is a
valuable one. The works of history, science,
reference, general literature, ETC., which it
contains are the best of their class and if
they were destroyed many OF them could not
be replaced at any price. The books are be-
tween 5000 and 1000 in number, and $500 is
a very moderate estimate of the value of the
library property. 1t is doubtful if the town
could start anew, and found library as good
as that which the association means TO make
a free gift Of, for less than $1,000. The OPP
portunity is rare one for the town and one
not likely to be again presented should this be
allowed to slip To open this library to the
free use Of every family and every person in
Brattleboro, it is only necessary that the town
should vote 20 accept and maintain this gift ;
and the expense cannot exceed eight cents on
each poll tax the first year, and four cents in
any following year
As TO the necessity and desirability of a
public library, there can be no more question
than as to the necessity and desirability of
schools and churches. In point Of fact, the
one thing which Brattleboro lacks and has
long lacked, in the proper education Of its
young people, as well as in the entertainment
and instruction of all classes, is public libra
~ frha onnnrfunifv IN sacura quch a Ehrarv
at insignificant cost is now presented, and to
the credit of the people of the town it is to be
said that the proposition seems generally to
meet cordial approval, and that in no quarter
is there any appearance of opposition.

The Bowen trial, which has just ended in
Providence, r. l., in the acquttal of the ac-
cused, was remarkable in that it disclosed a
conspiracy to fire a mans buildings and to
fix the crime upon him. DIR. Bowen is we'll
known physician in Scituate, T. l. Being in
terested in the public welfare he has been
persistent in his efforts to prevent the sale of
intoxicating liquors in that town. By so do
ing he has melted the hatred and kindled the
spirit of revenge on the part of those who
were engaged in this business. One night
last October the buildings of Dr. Bowen were
discovered to be ON fire, and so far had the
conhagration proceeded when the discovery
was made that they were nearly destroyed.
Dr. Bowen was, we believe, absent at the
time. The fire was supposed to be of incen-
diary origin, and at first it was attributed to
those whom he had made enemies by oppos-
ing the sale of liquors. A few days later,
however it was announced that there were
unmistakable indications that DIR. Bowen him
self was the incendiary. 1t is true, no posi-
BILE reason could be assigned for such an act
on his part he was in comfortable circum-
stances the buildings were not over insured,
and his father, wife and children were asleep
in the house when the fire occurred. His
previous life had been commendable and the
crime so apparently without motive, that il
seemed impossible that there could be found
any ground for the charge. But some of those
who were looking about the premises after
the fire discovered a piece of machinery by
which it appeared that the buildings were set
on fire, and material of which it was made
was also discovered about the premises, There
were other "clues" pointing to DR.. Bowen as
the guilty party. The state detective was sent
to investigate the case but instead Of inves.
tigating, he really was employed by the con
spirators to work up the improbable theory
that DIR. Bowen set fire to his own buildings
in which his kindred were asleep. few cir.
cumstances and conditions were made the
basis of a case which was deemed to be suf
flcient to maintain the unnatural theory and
convict DIR. Bowen. Upon this theory and
alleged circumstances the case was made up
DIR. Bowen was arrested and indicted and the
/ professional detective was for season the
hero of a sensation. The case went to trial
| The States professional and witnesses were
able to make up a case, but their theory an6
conspiracy could not stand the rigid scrutiny
of cross-examination and rebutting testimony
Consequently, after a protracted trial, thu
| jury, having barely time in which to exchange
opinions, brought in a verdict of acquit
tai. The State has now offered a large re
ward for the discovery of the conspirato
who concooted this plot to burn a reputable
mans house and send him to the penitentiar!
| for the crime.

The New Tax BLANKS.

The tax blanks for the year 1882 differ
somewhat from those used last year, the
most important change being in section 10,
which last year read as follows 'WhAt
amount due from solvent debtors, whether
on account, note, or contract, bond, mort
gage or other security, and whether then due
or to become due thereafter, did you own on
the first day of April, 1881 ?" This question
is changed this year and now reads
"What amount of debts due from solvent
debtors, whether on account, note, contract,
bond, mortgage, trust-deed or other security,
including all debts or sums due from parties
residing within or without this State, that
are collectable in whole or in part, how much
and all mortgages and trust-deeds of real OF
personal estate situated or being within this
State, or any other State or country, whether
such mortgages, trust. deeds or other evidence
of debt, were within or without this State on
the first day of April, 1882, or whether theI
due or thereafter TO become due did you OWL
or hold on the first day of April, 1892"

abatement in regard TO the present business
and future prospects Of the road, said he
could only say the roads business was IN a

benefit TO the road The present rolling stock
is insufficient for the needs Of the road, and
new cars are expected this spring. The
amount OF freight forwarded from the Brat
teboro station in February, 1881, was lO2
tons: in February, 1882, (the month Just
closed) il was 2O7 tons The freight received
in February, 1851, was 3jj tons in February,
1882 the amount was almost 100 tons-and
there is every reason to expect continuance
of this increased freight business. Reference
was made to the improvement which has been
made in the alignment of the road, to further
changes and improvements which are con-
templatsd and to the generally excellent con-
ditiou in which the road-bed now is.
