THE VERMONT SAVINGS BANKS.
An Interesting Statement in Relation to
Our Savings Institutions.

We are indebted to Hon. c. S. Page, In
spector of Finance, for a copy of his an
nual report, showing the condition of the
Savings banks and Trust companies of
Vermont for the year ending June 30,
1850
There are twenty-seven such institutions
in the State not including the St. Adams
Trust company, which is in the hands of
Il receiver OF these, four have deposits
eXceedinga million dollars each, viz: the
Vermont Savings bank .Brattleboro, depos-

$i,ll5,}"s and the 81 bloomsbury Savings
bank Sl,2,9,;G9.
The whole number of depositors in all
the savings banks and trust companies in
the State at the date of the reports was

The Second New Orleans Exposition

OughJ 10 ne valuable, VIII be given to the
public at an early day.
The Second New Orleans Exposition.
New Orleans is fond of eXpositions. It
is Il city with the true Southern love OF
excitement and display. It's great and
fantastic festivals, its constant whirl of
social excitement, seem to mari, it as the
fit place for u perennial display Of the
marvellous and attractive things which
are constantly being produced by the
American nation.
SO well pleased was New Orleans with
the exposition held in that city last year,
it was only with the greatest
reluctance that she permitted the
closing of the buildings and the
removal of the exhibits Efforts were even
/ made to inaugurate II continuous exhibit
ton, which should make New Orleans an
emporium of the Industries and arts of the
whole country and a centre of interest to
tourists. This, however, seemed so i'm
practicable that the scheme was dropped
in favor of Il second great exhibition, to be
held in the late fall and winter months.
! when the tide of travel naturally turns
southwark.
The second New Orleans exposition, ac-
cordingly, has been opened, and, appar-
emily, under favorable auspices. The
managers have prOfited by the experience
of last year, and many things which ren.
dered the former exhibition less successful
than it would otherwise have been, are
provided against this year. There will be
less of display, perhaps, and more of econ
omy in the conduct of the affair. The
aim will be to make the eX-
position more easily handled and
more remunerative to New Orleans
and the South. While it is not expected,
or desired, that other parts of the country
shall not be as fully and fairly represented
at the present exposition as at the former
still the efforts of the management have
been more specially directed to calling
out and developing the resources of the
Southern States, Mexico and Central and
| South America.
The growing prosperity of the South
warrants an enterprise of this sort-some
thing which will be characteristic Of the
development of this section of our coun
try, and at the same time create a friendly
rivalry in industrial and manufacturing
products between the North and the
South. At New Orleans the products OF
the two sections will be placed side by
helpful to both North and South. Enter
prise, invention and industry will be
stimulated and at the same time the
| friendly relations between North and
South will be renewed and encouraged.

H. w. Love of Rutland has been denied
admission to the Vermont bar because of
Il protest alleging that his reputation Tor
honesty, truthfulness and morality is
bad. The world is certainly growing be-
ter when honesty and truthfulness are
considered requisites in IL lawyer,-Cuic-
dOnjuH
The CGlcdOniuM must have had a
rough experience with lawyers, to justify
SO low an estimate of an honorable pro
fession. Occasionally, it is true, IL
community is cursed by the presence of Il
lawyer who is neither honest nor truthful :;
who manufactures business for him
self, who stirs up strife and litigation in
order that he may pocAet an occasional
fee who jumps at the slightest authority
to commence suits who pettifogS instead
of practices. Such lawyers speedily find
their level in the estimation of the com
munity, and of the more honorable mem
bers of the bar. But honest and truthful
lawyers we are glad to say, are not un
common in this part of Vermont and we
trust the day will be far distant wher
honesty and truthfulness will not be con
sidered essential to good standing in the
| legal profession.

The appointment of Secretary Bayard $
son, Il young man of %, as secretary of
Arizona, is one that does not seem, on its
face, eminently tit to be made. A young
"tenderfoot," recently engaged in teach
ing school and studying law in Mary
land" is hardly the sort of man to put
in responsible position in Il Territory like
Arizona.-B HCrdld.
Criticisms of this sort are plenty, in the
columns OF Independent and Republican
papers ; but they are far less insulting to
Mr.. Bayard than the mock defeuc IS made
by some of the Democratic papers. The
Boston Globe for instance, asserts that the
appointment is all right that "a Bayard
at % is Il mature statesman by hereditary
instnct;' that "the Bayards are a very
choice and able assortment of people -
and that the youthful Bayard is doubtless

ness and treachery on the part of the stall
warts; but the fact that Oneida county,
where any stalwart disaffection is apt 20
show itself first, gave an increased Repub-
lican majority, does not support this
view. Mr.. Conkling himself probably
gave such help as he chose to render to
any party, to the Democrats but his old
stalwart followers evidently do not in
tend to follow him into the Democratic
camp. The result is due in part to the Re
publican apathy of the Off year, and in
greater pat to the prestige and power
which the possession of the State and Ma
tioual administrations have given to the
Democracy. They had IL large campaign
fund, to which Mr.. Cleveland and Secre-
tares Whitney and Manning contributed
$1,000 n piece; and how it was used is
shown in Il special of the New York IimCs
! from Elmira, the home of Gov. Hill. ~ hich
says: "In Elmira the Democrats started
in by paying so, and increased that figure
so that from noon until the polls closed

the polls in disgust. and many hundred,

count for the Democratic victory. 1t i,

Early in the summer President Cleve-
land sent Mr.. Mantou Marble, formerly
editor of the New York ITOrld to Europe
on a confidential mission, to investigate
the silver question in England, France
and Germany. The way was smoothed

ed to Ministers Phelps, Mci.anr jnd Pen
dleton directing them to laci.uate the Oh
iect in View-vlZ, the promotion of BIZ
metallic union with the leading nations of
Europe-by every means in their power.
Mr. Marble has returned, and made his
private report TO the President and Secre-
tary Bayard. This is not yet made pub
lie, but it is announced that during his alb
sence Mr.. Marble had personal confer
ences with the principal members and
finance ministers of the governments of
| England, France and Germany, and
consulted with the leading economists
and monetary experts of those counties.
Among the eminent men consulted Were
Mr.. Gladstone, Mr.. Childers, Earl Spen-
Ger, Lord Roseberry, Lord Sherbrooke
Sir William Harcomb, John Bright, Prof
Henry Sedgewick, Mr.. Huxley Mr., Her

There is flavor of Arcadian simplicity
in the way the Chinese inhabitants of
Tacoma, w. T., were driven from their
homes on Tuesday. According to the
telegraphic report it was thus accom-
plished AT IL signal given at $3.50 H. m
many hundred citizens congregated and
marched in an orderly manner along the
streets to the Chinese houses, ordering the
occupants to pack their goods and leave.
The order was complied with. BY five
O'Clock p. m. their goods were packed and
loaded on drays and the Chinese were
marching along by the side of loaded
wagons, en- route to Lake View, nine miles
south of here" This sounds almost like
the recital Of some deed of charity on the
part of the white inhabitants of Tacoma,
in comparison with the usual method of
evicting the helpless Mongolans. How
long they are to be permitted to stay at
Lake View, is not indicated but probably
