The Direct Tax All Right.

Encouragement Miller has given a
decision on the subject of the relation
between the direct tax assessed on the
State of Vermont by the national gov
eminent in 1861 and the claims of the
latter on the state growing out of the
raising of a division of troops to pro-
tect the frontier in 1864. The decision,
in brief, is that the two subjects are SO
distantly connected that the $179,407. 80
appropriated by congress on March 2
of this year, for refunding the direct
tax, should be paid to the state. This
opinion is expressed to the secretary of
the treasury, and is accompanied by an
exhaustive review of the whole subject.
1t undoubtedly settles the matter once
for all. The reasoning of the attorney
general can be boiled down into this
The national government made the
State of Vermont its instrument for
national defence when the whole north
ern frontier was threatened by rebels
in Canada who were attempting, in the
words of Secretary Seward, "to en-
broil the governments Of the United
States and Great Britain in a border
war;" the aggression was against the
nation rather than the state; the latter
spent 1852, 1881 in furnishing the divis-
ion with uniforms, and garrison and
camp equipage, and if that claim is to
be paid by the national government,
the claim for arms sold for S143, AGO 66
disappears; the state in 1856 took the
initiative in attempting to settle the
conflicting claims due to the organiza-
ton of the division in 1864; in fine,
the state has just right to the $780,
407.S0 appropriated to refund the direct
tax, and all the questions relating to
the organization of the division must
be settled Independently of the direct
tax matter.
This view of the case is just what we
supposed would be taken when the SUBJ
ject was sifted down by the government
officials. 1t is clearly just and equitable.
The state is entitled to the refunded
direct tax money, and it looks as though
it would get it. Now let the people of
the state think well on how it shall be
Xpended-how it can be used to the
greatest and most nearly permanent
benefit of the whole state.

Blaine and Harrison.

The recent conference at Indianapolis OF
certain republican politicians who cannot
reconcile themselves to possible renom-
ination of President Harrison is not neces-
sarily of great significance. 1t was not rep
resentative in its character; it was COM
posed entirely of what in political parlance,
are known as soreheads, and they made
Secretary Blaine their favorite not because
they love him more, but Harrison less.
Real friends of Mr.. Blaine are not the ones
who will inaugurate movement Of this
kind. They would know, and do know,
that action which forces him into any posi-
ton he would not voluntarily assume would
be greater wrong to him than to any one
else If he is to be a candidate at all, il
will be by his own free consent, and not
through the designs of a few people with
grievances against President Harrison and
who seek to make use of Mr. Blaine's name
and great popularity with his party to &C.
complish an unworthy purpose. That
would put him in a false position, and, IL it
could assume anything like formidable pro-
portions, would probably have the unde-
sired effect of drawing from him a positive
declination or his retirement from the adj
ministration. To have Mr.. Blaine forced to
take either course would be most disagree
able to his sincere friends, and those who
engage in such movement as the Indian
apolis conference are wholly without con-
sideration for him. 1t was very timely in
Mr.. Conger to disclaim any authority to
speak or act for Mr.. Blaine in such matter.
Fortunately. the movement so far has not
proved sufficiently formidable to cause en-
barrassment, and the way in which it has
been received by the country cannot prove
at all encouraging to its promoters. They
are far from likely with their present status
to cause trouble for either Secretary Blaine
or President Harrison. Grievance move
ments Of this character never enjoy popular
sympathy. The purpose of the Indianapolis
conference-whichi is not to nominate Blaine,
but to prevent the nomination of Harrison
will be resented quite as warmly by the
true friends of Mr.. Blaine as by the distinct
i've supporters of Mr.. Harrison. 1t in no
way appeals to the judgment and good
respectable Philadelphia Press.
