Railroad Matters.

Swanton extension, with the view Of an AMIGA
bic arrangement with the Central and Vermont
g. Canada Roads: but they were pursuaded to
yield by two overwhelming arguments. to wit;
the heavy grade of the Central road through Bur
lington village, preventing fregh, from going to
Burlington, as they say, and the prospect Of
road via Swanton and lIghgate TO Montreal.--
Now II strikes us that these two overwhelming
arguments" are mere bubbles, which will collapse
al the priciing of pin. The Central road was
originally located, and partly made to the Lake
at Burlington, at a grade one third less than the
maximum of the Rutland road: this line wns
changed to CRAFTY and accommodate the people Of
burlington and the Central claims that the grade
of the new line in Burlington is equallcd by
grades on the Rutland road This change shor-
tenol The distance, and thus far compensated for
the increased grade. The Central draws exact
" as much freight to and from Burlington as it
would # the original line bad been carried ont.
This objection then is bubble No. l. As to the
road TO Montreal, from svanion via Highgate,
the Rutland road has uo ciaritr for that On The
other hand the Vermont s. Canada road Rae got
an rrepealable charter for 10. winch viii not ex-
pire until October3l, 1855. So much for bub-
