The Caddo Knight, published at
Shreveport, and devoted TO the in
terest of the Knights of Labor has
very able article on the labor
question which starts off thus ::
That corporations, as well as priv
ate individuals, have the right to
employ only whom they please is
an assertion that no one with COM
mon ideas of justice will deny. If
the Knights will stick to that the
MADISON TINES will enthusiastic
ally support them, but no labor
organization ever did believe any
such doctrine or carry it out either.

a Novel Case,

a somewhat peculiar prosecution fol-
lowed by an equally novel decision took
place at South Burlington yesterday. Last
Monday, Matthew Bingham, between
whom and his wife there had been some
difference, went into his house and found
his wife writing letter He asked her
to show it to him, but she refused, where
upon he resorted to force to obtain it. An
action WIS brought against him for as
sault when it was shown by the
evidence for the State that her
arm was badly discolored and that her
fingers were bleeding at the conclusion of
the ski Inish, and Bingham admitted that
he used sufficient force to wrest the letter
from her. The jury consisting OF five men
remained ont about twenty minutes,
when, to the surprise Of many present, es-
pecially the women, they returned YER
dict OF acquittal. The married women of
South Burlington will undoubtedly be ex-
tremely careful hereafter how they write
letters when their husbands are about.

High School Reception.

If there ever has ever been any doubt as
to the benefit of the High School hall to
the pupils, its availability for occasional
social gatherings cannot be questioned.
Principal Landon, at the urgent solicita-
ton of his scholars, has consented to one
reception each term, and if the one Friday
evening is a fair sample of them, they may
be considered great successes. The hall
was handsomely trimmed with flags,
while the bright and happy faces of the
pupils as they mingled with each other
and their teacher in pleasant intercourse,
was sight not soon to be forgotten. The
few exercises consisted of instrumental
music, singing by the school, quartettes
under the skilful direction of Prof
Thompson. A short and laughable scene
from The "Village Lyceum," in which sew
eral of the scholars took part, and readings
by Mr.W H. Hopkins, the teacher of elocu
ton. which are always treat to hear.
Among those present were Superinten-
dent Wheeler and some of the members
of the school board, The pupils of the
High school deserve great credit for the
admirable manner in which their recep-
ton was conducted.

What tho Ladies' VIII Wear This Spri

The show windows OF the dry goods
stores are resplendent with fine patterns
in the line of spring dress goods. The
principal change in these goods from last

and embroidered dress patterns for plain
silk, there being some particularly hand
some goods shown under both these
heads. Other new classes of dress goods
are boncle, striped velvet, fnret and bo-
rette, either one Of which makes up in a
handsome manner. Cancels hair will be

The Vote of Richmond on the School
Question.

The Vote of Richmond on the School
Question.
To the Editor of the Free Press
The report of the vote in the town Of
Richmond at the recent town meeting, on
the question Of adopting the town system
for the support of schools, both in the
FREE PRESS and the Independent was, to
say the least, very misleading, as the per-
son reporting it must have seen, had he
taken into the account the fact that the
grand list indicates about 800 votes in the
town, and only 81 voted on the question.
There are several reasons for this very
light vote. The question has been before
the town at its annual meetings good
many times in the past ten years, and al
ways, down to the present year, has been
rejected by very decisive vote, and, with
few exceptions, no one expected diff
ferent result at this time. Those who
have heretofore favored the change, and
among them the town school superinten-
dent, but very short time before the
town meeting, had expressed themselves
to those in the outlying districts, and who
they kne v were opposed to the change, as
havii & come to the conclusion that as
this town was situated the change would
not be a wise one. This, going upon the
the suppOsition that everybody WAS act
ing in good faith, the rough cold weather,
and very bad going, induced a good many
voters to stay at home. The truth is,
human nature has Il weakness in the di-
rection of willingness to have our neigh
bors bear the burdens which properly be-
long to others, and that is just what is the
matter in this case. The people of Rich
mond don't want the town system, which
has been forced upon them by a conspiracy
which was kept entirely out of sight down
to the time the ballots were called for,
when men and boys sprang into and
blocked up the three foot passage way in
front of the voting place, and so far as
appeared to an outsider, the crowd surged
back and forth, voting every one that
chose so to do, without objection.
HENRY GILLETT.
We print Mr.. Gillett's communication,
though we doubt the accuracy of some OF
his statements. We should be sorry to
believe that the town system had any
where been carried by undetermined or
illegal methods; and it would require
more than the unsupported assertion of
one who has his own reasons for bitter
opposition to the town system, to con-
vince us that this has been done in the
good town Of Richmond.

RECEIVER HENDEE's SUITS.
The Question of Interest on the Sums In
voIved in Case of Appeal.

Both of the st. Johnsbury papers deny
the statement that if the higher court con
firms the ruling of Judge Wheeler in the
Circuit Court in the suits of Receiver Hen
dee to recover assessments on Vermont
National bank stock, the banks will be
Obliged to pay l2 per cent interest on the
sum involved. They claim that "the law,
both of this State and the United States,
is that when II sutton carries II case up to
a higher court for the obvious purpose of
causing unnecessary delay, he she'll pay
IL per cent in the meantime ON the sum in
volved. In this instance no such charge
is made. The syndicate of banks
are acting in good faith, the sum in
volved being large and they having the I'M
questioned right to use every effort to
protect the interests of their stockholders.
Indeed, no instance is on record in this
State where more than the legal 6 per
cent interest was charged, and there is no
danger that this case will prove an 9Xcep-
ton"
The statement on the other side OF the
question is that the claim of the receiver
for damages is not based upon the law of
the State of Vermont but upon rule % of
the United States Supreme Court and the
decisions hereunder. In the case of Penny
wit VS. Eaton, 18th Wallace 3S2 the supreme
Court held that damages at the rate OF
10 per cent in addition TO interest would
be allowed because the case was taken to
that court in disregard Of the law,
as settled by precedent. 1t is claimed by
the creditors of the Vermont National
bank, and Judge Wheeler as we under
stand so decided, that the case of Ma
tional bank against Case in the Goth
L. $ 5. G. report settled the law in the
cases above referred to and it is upon that
ground, following the case in the 18th of
Wallace, that damages will be claimed
equivalent to IT per cent per annum from
the date OF the judgment in the Circuit
Court, rendered at the February term, I'M
til the final payment.
