RASCALITY ON A LARGE
SCALE,

George Miller, of Waltham, Ms, doing bust
ness in Boston as broker, was last week detec-
ted in forgeries to a very large amount having
mainly used the name of GEN. BELKNAP con-
tractor on the Central road. Mr.. B. repaired to
Boston Immediately on receiving intelligence
warrantng just suspicion of foul play, and
commenced an investigation, Up to Saturday
asst he had ascertained over $4,000 with his
name forged, and we understand that about
$4,000 with the name OF Mr.. Gibson Of South
Boston, and $1,000 with the name of oentle
man of East Boston, had also been discovered
in all about $sl 900 The amount may be still
larger; indeed, having means through his BUSH
ness to get little genuine paper from many in
dlvlduals, Miller may have multiplied notes to
almost an unlimited extent. His game was to
distribute this among his brother brokers and
thus some fifteen or twenty of them have been
pretty closely fleeced. Much of the paper had
come into the possession of the banks, endorsed
by the brokers, who have of course been COM
PEELED to pay as fast as tho paper reached rnatu-
rity. Miller left Boston few days before the
discovery was made, and at the last accounts
had not been arrested. No interruption in Mr..
Belknap's business, or difficulty of any sort,
is anticipated from this affair." Indeed, it atests
an exceedingly great degree of confidence in
his ability 10 meet engagements-a strength of
credit, of which most men might reasonably be
proud

doubteIy come to pass. G. |. Walker, ESQ, of
Saxtons River, supported the resolution in n
handsome speech, and was followed by Judge
Noyes of Morristown, in opposition. There
were several other speakers, but the tumult and
confusion was so great, that was unable to hear
their remarks. Mr. Brown moved to lay the res.
o!ution on the table, which motion was lost Mr..
Chittenden of Burlington then moved to adjourn.
This called forty men to their feet and confusion
reigned triumphant. The main question was f.

either way, and many left the house before the
vote was taken thus lodging the question The
convention then adjourned. The leaders of the
party take open ground against the action of the
convention, and say that the Proviso advocates
will be forced to I" back out" of their position in
less than twelve months. This is too true.

WESTERN VERMONT BANKS.

The Miller affair, coupled with the failure of
the great house of Horace Gray g. Co., has pro-
duced great sensation In Boston, that has re-
acted on Vermont, with which the gentlemen
concerned have large business connections 1t
is well understood that the liabilities of II. Gray
g. Co. exceed one million of dollars, and that
their assets are little larger than that sum
but forced settlement must greatly abate the
latter. The affairs of that company are in chan
Gerry. They were indebted pretty largely to the
banks at Vergennes and Orwell, and to small
amount to some of the other Western banks
Considerable unnecessary excitement has pre-
vailed particularly in reference to the bank of
Vergennes; but we doubt not that bank is per-
tectly sound, and would be SO were it to lose
every dollar of the Indebtedness of Gray g. Co.

RAILROADS,

VERMONT CENTRAL. The track is laid about
seven miles from the mouth of White River, and
the grading and bridges will all be completed
ready for laying the rails to Mortified in the
spring. There seems to be no difficulty in The
way of opening the road to Mortified by the 4lh
of July, and to Montpelier by the first of Sep
TENDER next. H.. Gray, contractor for iron, hav-
ing failed both to execute his contract with the
company and in business, new contracts for iron
will be necessary. That article can be secured
now at rates very far below the original contract
saving probably 100000 in that item alone. In
order to take advantage of this favorable oppor-
tunity, the stockholders will perceive the neces-
sity of supplying funds at once when called up
on. Payments in the nick of time, when good
bargains can be had, will Of course secure for
ever handsome increase IN profits.
VERMONT AND CANADA ROAD. The Direc-
tors of this link in the long line, connecting the
Central with the Cgdensburgh Road, have re-
Gently had a meeting, and secured the services
OF II. r. Campbell, Esq, a well known engn-
Ger, to survey and locate their line-of course
to the Lake, opposite Rouse's Point. By the
way, we repeat, that there is not the slightest
doubt OF the right of this company 10 bridge
any navigable waters upon It's line. The ques-
ton has heen decided by Chief Justice Savage
of New York, upon clause of New York
charter, of which the section in tho Vermont
and Canada charter is copy and the point has
also been decided by Judge Woodbury. OF the
United States Supreme Court, as to tide waters.
OspENsnURGH ROAD. Our fears as to this
road, expressed during the discussion of the
Bridge Question, we have ascertaiped were well
grounded; but we are glad to say, that the grant
OF the right of way 10 the Lake opposite Rouse's
Point and assured grounds for securing dry
road, have set things all right and strong again.
The work is to so on vigorously; such Is the
determination Of that company. An application
has been made 10 the Legislature of New York
to compel the company to change its line but
