Sullivan Railroad.

The annual meeting was holden on the 10th.
The President (Wm. Warner, Esq of Burling-
ton, vt) remarked that the By Laws required an
annual report stating clearly and definitely the
condition of the Company. 1t was impossible
to comply with this requirement, the books and
accounts being in such state as would not per-
init il. He would neither sign nor present any
report other than an accurate and reliable one.
The books were in the hands of competent per-
sons to put them in order, and without going IN
to detail i. was safe to say that the prospects of
the Company were decidedly improving.
Mr.. Warner declined reelection To the Board
Of Directors on account of domestic duties, but
his name came out on the list OF gentlemen cleo
ted, which was as follows:
William Warner, of Burlington, VT; Hon.
Charles Thomson, of Charleston, Mass. Jabez
D. Uphaln, Esq of Bostop; Hon. Ralph Metcalf,
of Newport, n. II Henry Hubbard Jr., ESQ.
of Chariestown, N. II A. Dickinson, Esq. and
William Rossiter, of Claremoni, N. Il. 81.
The President read two acts passed this sum-
mer BY the Legislature Of New Hampshire
authorizing the company to build brunch and
bridge over the Connecticut at Bellows Falls to
connect with tho Vermont Valley, the Cheshire
and Rutland and Burlington roads ON the Ve.-
,nout side the other declaring that no rpora-
ton shall lie exonerated from the payment Of
bonds issued already or hereafter, in pursuance
with vote OF The stockholders, on account of a.
ny discoun; made to the purchaser in disposing
of the same. ri
committee of stockholders was appointed
to nudit the accounts Of the Directors, and to
investigate the affairs and doings of the compa-
ny from the beginning. The meeting adjourn
ed to meet at the same place on the third Tues
day in September
After adjournment the new Board came to-
ge,har to organize. Mr.. Warner was chosen
President, who for reasons already expressed re-
signed instanier; whercupon Mr. Thompson was
elected. George Denny, Esq, President of the
Granite Bank, Boston, was chosen Treasurer and
p G. Turner, Esq, of Claremont, Clerk. 1t is
said that soon as the board was fully organiz-
ed Nj. Warner resigned his place as Director
The Sullivan las had its share OF embarrsss-
ments: we wish it abundant compensation by
future success.

The free democratic" alias "ex-ffee soi'
Convention met at Danville on the 1st Osten-
sibly the candidates for the nomination for Con-
gresham were Mr.. BARrLErr (Csss mani OF
Caledonia County,a and Mr.. RowEIL 1late Liber-
~ many of Orleans County,-it being understood
before hand that Mr.. Rowell's name should be
considered, if be would agree to abide BY the
decision of the Convention. Really, however, 1t
turred out that Mr.. BARTLETT was the only man
that could be permitted 10 run. The nomination
was made by committee, raised by the county
delegates, and we learn from reliable source
that the editor Of the Vermont Patriot laid down
the law in this way to the Washington County
delegation: /" u you don't nominate BARrLErr,
Toe shall boil" -
The Law Of the Patriot was too much for the
free soilcrs, and BARTLETT tookthe nomination
Mr.. Rowell had consented to abide by the de-
cision, and was thus bound to go for Bartlett
when the nomination was made: he did So Per-
kaps be can transfer his friends like SO many
" chattels," but we doubt it: indeed we know Of
Mr.. BARTLETT was, up TO 1879. a loco OF the
radical kind. The Baltimore platform was not
too bread for him, although it included Texas,
the Mexican War, and hostility to all action a
gsinst slavery. In 1919 he went into the coali-
ton, and in stump speech in Orleans county
illustrated his position coaitioni.t by rela-
ling the old story of professed Quaker, who
was, of course, as Quaker, man Of peace
always man Of peacc,-but. when assailed by
an enemy, put off his cost and broad brin say

iou" Mr.. Bartlett, then, wears lis principles
loosely, and puts them eff or on 10 suit the oc-
cason. Whether both g Democrats" and LIB
erty men" approve political morality OF that sort
will be determined by the next election.
