those who have never before manifested any

We are sincerely glad 10 see that the PEG.
pie Of Whitehall & those directly IN interest
IN tins matter, ate awaking TO a tree sense o.
tie obligations resting upon them and that
they ore beginning to look TO the true course OF
policy leh Tor them to pursue. We as SIN
cetely. wish them cnlire success IN an On
dettaking SO desirable TO al, parties concern
ed and as we know Of no reason why the
project above loteshadowed 'iouid not sue.
coed, we earnestly hope It may
1t viii perhaps not be improper fof Us to
saw IN relation to the first paragraph Of the
above that no such provision exists IN the
charter Of the Rutland and Washington road
ASH there stated and which gives TO the
Washington and Saratoga Company any
power over the Vermont Company IN the l"-
cation of the road, or rs 1t regards lis Wes-
tern terminus The charters OF New York
and Vermont, the Que to the Washington g.
Saratoga Company and the otter to the
Rutland and Washington Company are pre-.
cisciy alike as 1t regards tins point Each
are TO meet each other and Of course this

upon the precise point OF connection on Con-
neCtcui River, but mutual interest at length
settled al! dtihculics-as II Will 10 the pres
ent case. The Rutland and WASHINGTON
Co have moreover al advantage IN this
matter that he Rutland and Burlington did
not possess and should the Washington &
Saratoga Company refuse 10 unite with them
which however we will admit Is hardly
a suppoSabc case but little difficulty would
be had IN finding another outlet equally
advantageous to the interests OF Rutland
county, equally favorable to the prospects OF
the VI, Co., and far more desirable to tina,
rich section Of country between Granville
and Troy on the east OF the Hudson. In
speaking OF the above as we DOVE Of course
assume the assumption Of the Chronicle
'tnat pfeseHt indIcotons' do show a dl>po.
sl'rou on the part ofIhe Stockholders here to
run tins line over what has been called the
southern route, with a design Of making
Fon Ann the Western termination of
the route. Should however, these "Indi
cations change hereafter and sloud II
prore tyHe-as - asserted by the Chronicle,
that the best interests ofthe Washlnton and
Naratoga road demand the termination Of
tins road at Whitehall then Of course all
fears on this head will bc banished
But, as We have before said. we heartily
wish success to the project alluded to bv the
Chronicle and could all the different inter
esis he thus hafmonized-snI old Rutland
County be thus farther benefited by railroad
improvements we shall pronounce yey
distinctly our Aneat
lf conclusion we would say to the Chron-
Icle that we cordially agree in the assert, on
that 80 miles is too far TO go 10 gctl2;-but
The Chronicle must remember that for the
