Washington, D.

Democratic Senators to permit the debate to come a speedy close and a vote, to be taken before the Chiistmas holidays. If the bill was not a party measure there would be no doubt of its fate but the action of the Republican caucus in formally declaring that the bill should pass, will bind at last some of those who do not favor the bill to vote for it, when it is placed on its passage.

Whether this will hold enough doubtful Republican votes to carry the measure, throughls a debatable position. It is admitted by Republican Senators that several Republican votes fwill be cast against it Mr. Stewart Mr. Plumb, Mr. Wolcott and Mr.

Washburn are counted among those who will likely vote in the negative. Mr. Teller, is an extremely doubtful quantity. He has publicly reserved the right to vote agaiast the bill. Mr.

J. ex-mayor of Windsor, was found this morning stripped and tied to a tree, about two miles from here. He was. in an unconscious condition from a terrible whipping he had received. His body was raw and bleeding from his neck clear to his feet and his assailants had shaved one side of his 'head and face.

Mr. Pritchard says that on his way to his farm this morning he met three unknown men. One of them walked up behind him and struck him with something arid knocked him down, and when he recovered consciousness he was stripped of all his clothes and tied to a tree. The men took turns at the whipping. He swooned away under the terrible ordeal and didn't recover consciousness until brought to town.

The county statement which will be found on the first page of this paper, is interesting reading matter, especially to tnose wno reel concern ed 'in county affairs, and the Stand, ard hopes that all do. The tax from all property, to the value of $3,106,768,. is $0,402.36, which, supplemented by taxes on marriage licenses, opticians, peddlers, circuses, museums, side shows, minstrels, merchants, together, with the tax on 2,320 polls, increases the income to $8,031.17. From this we deduct commissions to the amount of $500.49, which leaves $7,530.68 as the amount appropriated by the commissioners to various purposes during the year. We repeat that the statement is an interesting one.

in the first place, by reference publica tion, the reader will-see the great amount goes to the keeping np of bridges and repairing roads, The county has more bridges than any county in the State, made necessary by so many water courses. Our roads are bad, and bad from a poor system of working and from a soil on which i. uu xiioac ouu. ivocy gwu i04018, lhe expenditures amount to about ennn vvwv. i lhe cost of holding the courts is 7y7.80.

This does not include all the expenses, not by a great It is a big thing to court it is ex pense from the time the magistrate gets hold of the fellow, and con tinoes sometimes twelve months af ter the term of court The Standard believes that the commissioners have done their duty, I and that the money has been well spent The beauty about these county expenditures lies in the fact that most of the money is poured right out into home channels, except when it goes off for iron bridges and no little lumber. The Issue of Bonds. It is getting to be a popular meas nre the issuing of bonds for the im provements necessary for a town. We expect to have something to say about this at an early day. lhe fol lowing from the Monroe Register is good reading 'A singte fact is worth a thousand rash assertions.

The opponents of the bondi for electric lights and street improvements make a good many strong assertions, but when ho Tiiwir 10 no I cui tap t.l the proof is called tor they Can't deliver the goods. We defy any one to point eut a single town that has been injured by voting bonds for im provements. Wejdefy any one to point a single town that- has voted bonds; and has not been benefitted by it Simple assertions will not do. We stand ready to prove what we say by the record of every town that bass issued bonds for improve ments.

Th! Standard believes that its finger can -be laid on the correspondent, but when it comes to spotting a man who stole all his money, why that fellow's not here he lives somewhere else, probably. The Durham Globe hase sense good horse sense and showed it'by not publishing a com munication tha seemed slanderous. But the Globe has this to sav: A gentleman living at Concord writes this morning to the Globe and expresses himself as delighted to know-that there is one paper in the State which has independence enough to tell the truth. In fact our correspondent is enthusiastic. This is well enough, in its way, The hew man feels pleased to know that his efforts to print a live, mde pendent newspaper are appreciated not only at home, but at Concord as well, i But here is betting two to one that the Concord admirer gets mad.

He wants us to whale and lam some citizen of Concord who has given liberally to some fund or other. He claims that the alleged live citizen stole all his money; that he defeated his creditors and was cutting a wide swath on money that honest! beloneed to other people. Of course this ail may oe true WO are not acquauiteu wiiu me cur-1 i aj reanondent: we do not know the gentleman to whom he makes refer- enrtft. Rut anvwav: The Globe's mission is not the mission of a vandal, mere are some bright and strong papers in Concord: Daoers which are able and which we believe are not afraid to love God and pound the DeviL It is the plaee of those papers to ez pose a citizen if he has stolen money from other men. If they do not see fit td talk about it! if th chtleman is tolerated in his community, the Globe does not find that it is any of its business to dig among the skeletons of other men's closets to find some gaunt and spectral frame of bones that should have turned to dust years ago.
