counts from the books of the Treasury, given by
the late Register of the Treasury, Mr. Gillet,
dated Dec |, 1876, and which we again publish,

The Legislature have refused to allow the ap
plication 10 bridge Lake Champlain for rail-
road. After full consideration of the argu-
menls urged for and against this application, we
come to the Conclusion that it ought to be gran
Ted. We can discover no serious injury that
can result TO the State from the erection of the
bridge, while the benefit It will be both to the
State and to the people generally, would be
great, immediate and certain. We intend no
reproach upon the Legislature, however--for
the magnitude of the subject demands caution
and dellberation, and little delay is better than
hasty egislalion.-Braitieboro PhGnir.
