Washington Correspondence Of the Atlas.
WASHINGTON. Ian. IL 1917

Washington Correspondence OF the Atlas.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. Is, 1917.
For the third time the President has bee N
febuked by Congress on his favorite scheme
for superseding Scott and Taylor, by Lieu
tenant General. The Senate has declared,
emphaIically and clearly. that no such prop
osition can pass that body, though Mr.
Folks party stands in majority Of FIVE
The administration is doomed by the decree
Of us own friends. One day they vote no
confidence in the ministers, and the next, no
respect for the Executive. There is no SYM
pathy between the occupant of the White
House and the party in Congress but that Of
interest. He has bought and he can again
buy support; hut uone will be heartily given
for the sake Of that of his measures. The
North has already deserted from its unwar-
ranted alliance, and the South has this day
shown its readiness 10 abandon the concern
to its fate. MIR. Polk is without any Of the
qualities calculated TO win generous attach
nent, or TO inspire confidence and esteem
and there is nothing in his ability or charac-
ter TO commando. He has, thus far, been
followed, because of his accidental ELEVATION J;
he has been tolerated, because he was at the
head the party, by position. But the
charm has disappeared in proportion as his
fortunes have waned, and men are bold E.
nough to declare their opposition now, who
before submitted to his dciation without
murmur. AT no period has Mr.. Calhoun or
his immediate followers, given Mr.. Polk a
cordial cooperation. They have supported
him while he supported them, and no more.
For year passed their terms of aPprecia-
ton have not measured, and they are now
more ANXIOUS than ever for dissolution Of
the copartnershp They desire TO escape
before the vessel founders. q The proceed
ings Of day will widen the breach.
Mr.. Calhoun is determined. according to
his own declarations. TO go farther than ap-
pearances indicate against the course OF the
Administration in reference to the war. At
a convenient time, he will develope the re
suit OF his deliberations rs 10 the true policy
to be pursued by the Government in this
contest He is for Withdrawing the army to
the Rio Grande, for establishing military
posts along its right bank, and for holding
such territory as we have conquered.
Whether he will have the nerve to persist in
this purpose. time only can answer. 1t is
well received by an influential portion Of his
Southern friends. and, if submitted in the
shape ola distinct proposition, would give a
new aspect TO affairs. lam inclined to be-
lieve, however, ifhe determines TO move at
all, it will not be beyond the expression Of
his sentiments in speech.

TEMPERANCE CONVENTION

The Slavery question is now aeiratinu in

spoke ON the resolution pending that slavery
should be excluded from the conquered ter
rtOries, spoke long and we'll:

RAILROADS..
RUTLAND ROAD.

From the report Of the annual meeting at
Rutland as contained in The Herald, we ex-
tract the following remarks made by Hon.
Timothy Toilet, the President oil the Com
Pany: -
GAS stockholders we meet to-day under
different circumstances from those under
which we were placed when we met in this
place ono year ago.
Then there existed great obstacles.-Some
great stumbling blocks to hinder the prelinli-
nary part of our great enterprise.
am happy 10 inform you that these iroub-
les are now obviated that the way is now
clear.
Not among the least of these obstacles,
was the conduct Of the Fitchburg Corpora
ton the body decided 10 construct their road
ten miles North Of what we had determined
should be The terminus of ours.
The subject was brought before the au-
thorities of New Hampshire and they deci-
ded in our favor, that The Fitchburg Road
should meet ours at Bellows Falls. Thus
the difficulty was removed and we are to
have a straight line of Railroad TO Boston.
Al that time, The amount ofstock necessa-
ry for the construction oil our Road was not
subscribed. Now with The additional sub
scription Of 100000 in Boston, we have
means sufficient. In view OF these auspi-
cious results. your directors judged it best
and did issue proposals Tor contracting 10
build great portion of the road. The ef
feet has been that some seventy five contract
ors have examined the route, and here it may
not be amiss 10 remark that they have uni
versaily expressed surprise that SO favorable
route for building a railroad was 10 be found
in Vermont The result thus far istllat your
Directors after much labor in examining the
various bids have accepted the proposals of
one company of contractors for grading, bull
ding and finishing in the very best manner
55 l-3 miles of the Road, between Brandon
and Burlington for the sum of $1,000, the
company only finding rails and depositing
them at three different points near Lake
Champlain.
The President being asked what he tho't
of the SO called ''impassble gull' or Mount
holly Gap. replied that in his opinion the east
crn portion of The Road, about thirty miles
including the Gulf would be graded and the
necessary mason work wrought ready for the
superstructure for $4,000 mile.
