Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1850-06-20

Now, the tables are turned: the Cucen eutnot-
i,ies hsve arrested and ere trying certain Amer
lean ci,ixens who were going TO CaIifornil-no.
to Join the Cuba crusade. The Precedent has
demanded their immediate release, plainly inti-
mating that refusal of this demand will be fol-
loved by war against Spain. The last news
il. that the Yankees are released. Wonder
if the President ill not next be charged with
being Aostile TO Cubaa
Vermont Central Railroad Com
re- res pany.
A special meeting Of the stockholders is call
ed a, Windsor. July Ist, P. tn. TO affirm the
lease of the VI. g. Canada Road to the Central
company. The Directors had full power given
them by the stockholders 10 August last to make
.hs lease, and we presume the instrument would
be legally binding without further action. A
specific confirmation Of all the provisions Of the
lease is proposed, as we understand it, to ex-
Glide all possibility Of doubt about the matter.
We understand also that the Directors have
ordered "the accommodation train" between
Mortified and Montpelier to be discontinued,
for the reason that the receipts bear not even q
tolerable proportion TO the expenses Of the train.
Nor il this surprising: the train ran one way too
late at night and the other why too early in the
morning Tor local businers-so il depended al
most exclusively upon through passengers. If.
therefore. special train could pay between
Mortified and Montpelier on through passengers,
il would also pay for the whoie line. Nobody, Of
course, could expect that.
The effect Of disseminating the accommoda-
ton train is that all passengers TO Montpelier BY
the second train from Boston, and ell from Mont.
pelier BY the morning train for Boston, must stay
at Mortified over night. In short it is nearly
equivalent, urgent cases excepted, to limiting
Montpelier to one train day 10 Boston, while
there are two trains to Burlington. A PROPOSE
ton was made to have the evening trains stop
at Montpelier over night, instead Of at North
feld-thus giving Montpelier the advantage of
both trains, and saving the expense of the spe-
cial train: this was declined by the Board, for
the want of conveniences FOR engine and cars at
Montpelier. The obvious answer Of Montpelier
will be-put those conreniences there.
This matter of course makes discussion here.
We have heard the opinion expressed that it
would be for the interest of the company to DIS
continue the second train entirely. Others lie
lieve this train pays, and is an accommodation
to the public: they would have this accommc-
daiion extended as far as possible. We are Of
the last class. Our notion is tn run the noon
train from Boston through to Burlington, and TO
have the evening train from Burlington stop at
Montpelier over night We think this would
increase the amount of local travel, especially
on the western half of the road, and accommo-
date The public in this vicinity much better than
the present arrangement. The truth is, people
don't like to stop any where, on this line any
other, night, ii it can be helped; and were it
not for the importance of running from the even
ing boats SO as to reach Boston by Pm. the next
day, we should say run both trains through both
ways, stopping at nigh, neither at Montpelier or
Mortified, but at Burlington and Boston. We
have to add, that the Central Directors have or.
dered depot to be constructed at Montpelier
village forthwith.
The Boston Bee says: We are authorized TO
state, that the Vermont Central Railroad Com
pany take no part in getting up The Celebration
at Burlington, Vt.,-of which SO much has
Gently been said but will join with other Roads
in any arrangement which may be made for car
ryng passengers at reduced rates.

It's appreciation of tho Vermont Patriot, as fol.
love:
The anonymous correspondents Of the Mont
pelier Patriot, upon the subject oi The Vermont
Central Railroad, appear to take it in dudgeon
because we decline 10 follow their ite and drum,
and enlist under their banner, in a crusade
against Mr.. President Paine. But, really, We
cannot train in their company. The feeling they
evince appears too rancorous to emanate from
worthy motives, and when they accuse the press
of being controlled in its course by the consid-
Grafton Of free pass over the road, we see upon
what false, paltry, unjusti6abe ground they i'm
peach the conduct of those who differ from them
in opinion, and it confirms Us in our first impress
sion, that their assertions are unworthy Of conf
dence.
