A Letter OF July 4, 1879.

Mr. Editor: The annexed copy of letter
written at Crown Point on the 4th of July,
l776, by soldier then serving in the war
for independence, will be interesting to
everybody, because written on the very day
that American Independence was declared.
1t will be interesting to all Vermonters, be-
cause the writer of IL was undoubtedly one of
the many men who were rallied by the
Vermont hero, Colonel Seth Warner, in the
winter and spring of l776, for the relief Of
the American army then in Canada. Gen
eral Montgomery, the commander, had been
killed in the attack on Quebec the last day
of December 1913, WHEN the command of
the American forces in Canada devolved
upon General David Wooster On being
apprized of that event, ON January q, l776,
General Wooster wrote to Colonel Seth
Warner pressing letter for re-enforcements
of Green Mountain boys, and their neigh
bors below, in New Hampshire and Massa-
chusetts. The writer of the annexed letter
was then resident of Winchester, n. H.,
located near the Vermont line, and from
the fact mentioned in his letter that he went
To Canada by the way of Bennington and
Brandon Called Mashobah in the letter in
stead of Neshobe, the first name of Bran
dom, il is certain that he went with the
Vermont volunteers on that occasion. There
is no record of him in any New Hampshire
troops in lI76, but there is a record showing
that he went in Captain Oliver Capron's
company Captain Capron was resident of
Richmond, n. H. for the relief of Fort Ii
conderoga in June and July, 1777. The let
ter VIII be interesting for personal reasons

fill the Golfers of others? If Vermont
ers do not support their own institu-
tons, can they expect others to sustain
them? Support is not asked as an act
of charity. Merit, capability, is the
basis of the argument. The University
is every way worthy of support, and is
year by year adding to its claim upon
the first consideration of Vermonters
and their neighbors. The expense is
less than at the leading colleges outside
the state. Pupils come directly under
the instruction, not of immature tutors,
but of professors Of ripe experience.
These are advantages of the utmost
consequence. With them are all the
accompanying facilities for an efficient
education, for solid and valuable, rather
than snowy, mental training and ac-
quirements. Send the boys to Yer
mont college and contribute to the de-
velopment and strengthening of home
institutions, while doing wise thing
for the young men. AT least give the
matter careful and impartial investi-
cation before sending them, and the
money their collegiate course will cost,
out of the state; and beware of the
silent influence " of the partisans of
other colleges installed in the states
academies and high schools.

Sustain the States Schools.

The prejudice of the graduates of
colleges in favor of their Alma Mater is
natural enough. Like prejudices in
general, it is not, however, always
guided by reason. 1t may some time
lead to the doing of positive wrong.
Partisanship exists outside of politics,
and one of its most offensive phases is
the zeal with which graduates maintain
that their particular college is the only
fostering mother that can nurse the
novitiates of the academy or high school
with the milk of the scholarship that
makes men. This partisanship exists
conspicuously in the teachers of fitting
schools, who are apt to labor with more
zeal than sense or judgment to make
proselytes for their particular college
of the young men who have been fit
ting under their instruction. Quite re-
Gently an informal meeting of the grad
yates of college situated in a neigh
boring stale was held, not a thousand
miles from the capital of Vermont.
They were mostly teachers. Among
the subjects discussed were the means
to be employed to recruit the ranks of
their Alma Mater. All the speakers
were quite ELUSIVE in protestations of
loyalty to the ancient dame whose di-
ploma they had received, but some
evinced zeal in her service without JUS
tice or honor. While " jointly and sew
orally" pledging themselves to use
their " silent influence " to make prose-
lytes, there was tinge of Pharisaic
bitterness in their condemnation of the
legitimate and honorable efforts of a
younger rival to enlarge her classes, as
she had enlarged and improved her fa-
cilities. 1t was noticeable that these
offensive partisans," though assem-
bled in Vermont and criticising its Uni
versity, were not natives of Vermont.
Teaching many of them temporarily
in the high schools of the state, they

THE NeW York SUMS candor and
piquancy win it many readers who hate
its opinions and despise its course " as
they hate poison and despise nonsense"
Here is late sample of its frankness,
which we think republicans will read
with smiling interest and democrats
with crashing of teeth: Those who
have supposed that President Cleveland
might change his ideas respecting civil
service reform will not find much sup
port for their hope in a conversation
which the president lately had with
Senator Vest of Missouri. According
to the report, which undoubtedly comes
from Mr.. Vest himself, the president
asked what the people of Missouri
thought about the policy of the admins
tration. The senator said that the Mis-
souri, democrats were not at all satisfied
with the manner in which the president
was doing business; and that a great
many republican oflice-holders in the
state had not been disturbed, although
the people expected that in the change
of administration these offices would
be taken from their political enemies
and given to friends and adherents of
the democratic party Mr.. Cleveland
listened patiently to what Senator Vest
had to say, and then replied that he
was sorry the people of Missouri were
not pleased with his policy, but that
he intended to go ahead in the same
manner in which he had begun to dis
charge the duties of his office. He in
tended to strictly adhere to the pledges
given by him in his letter of acceptance
and in his inaugural address on the sub
ject of civil service reform Mr.. Cleve-
land is very firm man, and, having
once clearly made up his mind what he
will do, he cannot easily be swayed
from his purpose. There have been
presidents who could be charged with a
lack of backbone, but Grover Cleveland
is certainly not deficient in that inds-
pensable organ. And yet the democracy
hates and despises the civil service
humbug as it hates poison and despises
nonsense"

Land and TaxatiOn.-.Again.

An esteemed correspondent adds
something interesting to the review in
last weeks WATcHMAN of Mr.. Georges
theory of land and taxation. In some
points the explanations which are de-
rived from Mr.. Georges Progress
and Poverty" differ materially from
his development of his theory in the
conversation with Mr.. Field in the
North american Review, which was the
basis of our article. In this converse
ton he holds that unoccupied and un-
improved land has value, which he
ascertains by its selling price. In the
city the value of occupied and improved
land is estimated by the value, as de-
termined by the selling price, of vacant
lots similarly situated. Farm lands
lands in the sparsely-settled portions of
the country-are valued on the same
principle. In the former case, the set
Element of great number of people
together, forming city, has greatly en-
HANGED the value of the land in state
of nature. This enhanced value is a
portion of its taxable value. The
nominal owner" as Mr.. George
styles the person who holds the title,
in the practice of his theory would be,
in fact, tenant. The land rent he
pays would be his tax. He would recon-
pense himself for this tax by reckon
the land, if occupied, and the tenant of
the buildings would recover it in his
wages or salary if laboring or salaried
man, in his fees if a professional man,
in the prices of his merchandise if
a tradesman. Thus the land-tax would
"be diffused," according to this the
Dry, through all classes. Our CORE
spondent further explains that the
farmer out on the prairie who finds
that nearness to the city and railway
enables him to get better prices for his
crops, must pay this additional profit to
the public. AS we understand the
conversation" Mr.. George expressly
says that he gives all the product of the
land to the holder. He taxes only the
soil. The nearness of the city and the
proximity of the railway would give the
soil higher selling price, and on this
unearned increment " the " tenant "
would pay his land rent. Mr. Georges
teachings in his progress and Pow
erty," as outlined by our correspondent,
differ in other respects from the expla-
nations he makes to Mr.. Field. The
subject is interesting, not by reason of
any practicability in the scheme itself,
but because it is suggestive, leads to
widening and deepening of ones views
on vital question, and in negative
way may be the means of improving
existing systems-systems that recog-
nize the fact that stable government
is necessary to enable man to improve
the soil, to raise crops and reap the
benefits, to rear buildings and be pro-
tected in their ownership and in the
enjoyment of every personal and prop
erty right. The persons protected and
the created property, or interests that
derive their value from civil govern
ment, are as fit subjects for taxation for
the maintenance of government as the
soil. The tendency is rather towards
"letting up" on the land and bearing
down in other directions. Common
sense and theory appear in this ten
dency in little closer companionship
than in Mr.. Georges scheme.

In recent article on the senatorial
question, the Fair Hacen Era says:
" Ex-Governor Proctor, in recent in
terview, also disclaims any thought of
allowing his name to be put in the field
against Senator Edmunds. Il have
too much business of private nature
to attend to, besides what I find to do in
connection with my marble interests, to
allow thoughts of Office to possess my
mind for an instant. Besides in Ed
munds we have a most excellent man
for the position he occupies, and he will
undoubtedly be his own successor"

THE last dispatch received from Mt.
McGregor is the following: Monday
afternoon General Grant wrote upon
his pad, telling DR.. Douglas that he had
no pain and that he was feeling as well
as on Sunday. The prolonged quiet of
the sick man, however, did not assure
all his friends, and it having become ev-
ident to him that such was the case, he
wrote during the afternoon these words
Do as l do, take it quietly. l give my
self not the least concern. If knew
that the end was to be tomorrow, l
would try and get rest in the mean
time. AS long as there is no progress
there is no hope Between eight and
nine O'Clock the general was put to bed,
and at half-past nine he seemed to be
sleeping. DR.. Douglas then thought
the patient would pass quiet night"

In New York and Massachusetts, the
legislatures undertook to impair the
efficiency of the state civil service law
by enacting law exempting soldiers
and sailors, when applicants for office,
from the required examinations. Dema-
gogues and opponents of laws regulat-
ing the civil service favored the propo-
sition, and sharp contest was had
over the question of its adoption. Self
respecting soldiers and sailors regarded
the measure as an insult, an imputation
upon their intelligence. 1t was trick
of professional politicians who have
thrived under the old dispensation to
accomplish selfish end by appealing
to the patriotic regard the people have
for the nations defenders. 1t has not
succeeded, owing in large measure
to the indignant reputation of the
scheme by the soldiers themselves.

THE president has appointed Edward
L. Hedden collector of customs at New
York, Silas w. Burt, naval officer, and
Hans S. Beattie, surveyor. Hedden
and Beattie have their record to make.
They are a disappointment to the Tam
many faction. Mr.. Burt was appointed
naval officer, by promotion, by Presi-
dent Hayes. President Arthur selected
him for the civil service commission,
but he declined to serve. He was a re-
publican, but voted for Cleveland both
for governor of New York and for the
presidency. He is an admirable Off
GER, a practical civil service reformer,
and rigidly enforced its principles in
the naval office.

NEW ORLEANS, July "A morning paper
contains a statement that over n million dol
lars have been coined at the New Orleans mint,
OF which there is no official record. The coin
age act of 1878 made il the duty of the director
of the mint to have general supervision Of all
United States mints and assay offices. The
flrrt director acting under that law was the
Hon. Ill. II. Linderman, and in his report on the
subject he gives statistics of the coinage i'm the
several innts showing total amounts ana the
denomination of money made at each place for
each year OF their existence. The New Orleans
mint was opened in 1888. subsequently
money of every denomination was made there

money does not appear from any available re-
cords but the fact OF coinage, stated is shown
on the books of the coiner at that time, and in
order to make up the true amount of the actual
coinage of the New Orleans mint this sum must
be taken into account. There was no regular
coinage of the precious metals into confederate

New Orleans mint remained i'm their control
until April o6, 1861, when the city was taken
by the federal forces.

Complaint has been lodged with the
civil service commission by Owen Kellar,
of Caldwell, Ohio, to the effect that, hav-
ing been certified by the commissioners for
appointment to $1,000 position in the
Treasury department, and having been notified
by mail that the position awaited his arrival,
he came to Washington, and upon reporting in
persOH the appointment was refused him. Mr..
kcllar says the reason of the refusal was none
other than that he is q republican. Appoint
mcDt Clerk Higgins told him he had no duty to
assign him TO, but referred him to First Auditor
Chenowith. The latter official told him that he
tiSan by Representative Warner, of his district
and that ii his appointment was insisted upon
under the civil service rule, he should be dis
charged the next day. He was given the alter
native of having his papers returned to the
commission to stand the chance of being desiy-
mated to another place.
MIR. Owen kellar was restored to-day by order
of the Secretary Of the Treasury. When the
civil service commission called the Secretary's
attention to the case he acted very promptly
When Civil Service Commissioner Eaton was
asked by a STAR reporter to-day ii kellar's APP
pointment was the result of the acton of the
commission he said that the reporter must
draw his own inference from the fact that Mr.

of office has been administered. ''The oath of
office has been administered, and good many
other Oaths, tOo," said an official to STAR re-

A RumOr that the Duke Of Marlborough
Will Marry Lady AylesfOrd.

Special Cable Dispatch 10 THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, July 2.-There is a rumor abroad
that after the decision OF the Ay!esford case,
which is almost certain to be against Lady
Aylesford, it is the intention of the Duke of
Marlborough TO marry her. 1t will be remem-
bered that Lady Aylesford left her husbands
home in Kent in 1867 to accept the protection
of the Duke of Marlborough, then the Marquis
of Blandford. She pleaded I'm justification of
her conduct her husbands into ierable conduct
and Blandiord's promises to marry her soon
as she was divorced. She had child three years
ago, which, although Aylesiord was not the
1ather, she called by his second title. The
courts found SO much blame on both sides that
IL was decided that neither was entitled to a
divorce. Aylesford died on his ranch In Texas
last January. Many persons in society here
have thought the Duke of Marlborough mean
enough 10 refuse to keep his promise To marry
Lady Aylestord. Marlborough is the brother of
Lord Randolph Churchill and is ing to pre-
vent the latters reelection to parliament.
