are more national than many of those now knoci-

been constructed by private enterprise at an
immense sacrifice, and three Of them at least
are under mortgage. On what better grounds
can the western or southern roads ask for favor

roads Is the best yet suggested. What u

TREASURES REPORT.

GENTLEMEN My connection with the Vermont
Central Railroad is so recent that it has been mpos-
sbe for me to prepare such report TO the propre-
tors as longer personal acquaintance with the af
fairs of the company would have enabled me to
make.
must therefore ask the indulgence of the proprie-
tors in abstaining from making any report in relation
to the cost past earnings, losses of the road as
am not sufficiently familiar with the details of its
past history or accounts to enable me to make any
statement with entire confidence in its accuracy.
1t is, however, less important, as understand that
committee Of investigation has been anno;nted and
their report at future day. will satisfy the inquiries
OF propneors upon the various points affecting their
interests.
shall therefore confne myself to simple state
ment OF the Indebtedness and requirements of the

REPORT ON THE NoRTHFIELD OFFICE.
VERMONT CENTRAL RAILROAD OFFICE,
NoRTHrIELD, May IsT, 1892.


To tie Committee Of Finance w. {. r. r. Co..
trSrLtMEN Having been engaged at your re-
quest, in making an examination of the books and
accounts Of the President at this Office | herewith
submit "A report of my doings for your investigation
Ny Investigations have extended over twentl-onc
months from July lst, 1880, to April Ist lSj2-
The " cash book, so called which contains both the
cash and journal entries, has been thoroughly exam
incd, the credits have been carefully compared with
the vouchers and found to agree and the debts have
been verified i'll most cases, by accounts from parties
with whom the transactions took place the footngs
postngs and trial balance to this date have been test
ed and proved correct.
AS to the appropriateness of the accounts to which
charges have been carried, think sufficient regard
has not been observed in this respect to enable true
statement of the actual business of the road to be
made up from the books In keeping the accounts
proper mnuteness has not been practised in max
ing the entries; they not recorded in that reol-
larlty which is desirable payments which have been
made by drafts on the Treasurer have been credited
in the cash journal in other months than which the
debts were entered which would, of course affect
the cash balance These irregularities are said to have
been caused by keeping several months work open
at the same time in the cash journal, and inaCver-
tently making the entries in the wrong month As
these discrepancies are noticed, which would affect
the cash account often way as the other it
docs not appear that they were intentionally made
to cover up any deficiency of cash The balance to
the debit OF cash account has appeared at times
quite large, when the actual cash on hand has been
comparatively small amount, the difference being
composed OF memorandums against other roads con-
tractors and other individuals, and bills receivable
he largest balance thus noticed was on the LIST of
January last, and was made up of the following
items, viz:
n B Proctor disburse for freight expenses 500 90

The Burlington Conrisr thus speaks Of the
lo1ofoco branch of the Vermont coalition:
But now we find all the world, Mt least good

toward the Baltimore Convention and in meet,

ganlzation, trying titles with the hard shened

to nominate Benton, or Dix or Ranioul or Mic

they have then no resource but TO support ben

presented, and from estimates made by Mr.. ONsLow
STEARNs, who is about take charge of the road
superintendent with a recommendation that the
stockholders in such way shall seem to them ex-
pedient, provide the means necessary to meet the
debts of the company as they shall mature.
Mortgage bonds amounting to $4,000, 900 have been
issued authorized by the stockholders at their last
meeting, which were considered sufficient at that
time to discharge all the liabilities of the company
which should become due prior to 1856.
1t is undoubtedly well known to the proprietors
that since that time demands to large amount near
ly half million of dollars not appearing on the
books of the company and entirely unknown to the
directors, have been made by the personal creditors
of Mr.. Quincy. A disastrous fire at Northfeld and
the that is estimated as likely to be want
ed and above the sum then reported as required
to complete the construction of the road necessarily
add to the wants of this company. And on the other
hand the assets have been diminished by the failure of
Mr. Quincy to pay his large Indebtedness for the pur-
chase of stock the depreciation the value of the stock
of this company still belonging the road and the
mprobablity OF realizing many assets Immediately
which may eventually be available; that there now
exists large deficiency, which must be provided for
to prevent the failure of the company
therefore propose that this company authorize
the directors to issue bonds secured by a second
mortgage of their property to amount sufficient
to meet all the debts of the company and that the
creditors of the company who arc entitled to receive
if they elect, the best security they have to offer
should have the right to exchange their present de-
mands for an equal amount of mortgage bonds, bear
ing interest ut seven per cent? upon such terms as
shall hereafter be agreed upon.

made in this the first district, which now b,,
three delegates, appointed by the State Conysr
ton in October last All this has happened sim.
ply because the State Convention made lis -,
pointments before the State was divided into ne,
Congressional districts. The worst thny abo,,
the matter, however, is, that no notice ,ros ,y;r
that district delegates were to be appointed .,
the State Convention; and hence new conyo,,
tons may be fairly claimed as matter of riob,
We regret the occasion for any such claim In,
wherever it is made, we are disposed to respec,
it, confident that the district conventions if srcl
are called. will take proper course and main.
tain the harmony and good feeling which bas
generally characterized the Wing party of We,

debted for its signal success. OF course the a..

purpose and, no injustice being intended bv
that body, we trust nobody who took part in
