Ncssrs. Editors I'll am now able 10 in
form you that the general railroad bill and
also that for the southern extension OF the
Western w. Road to connect with the
Harlem have botll, passed the two Houses,
and only wait the signature OF the Gov.
ernor. You viii perhaps be carious TO
learn how the latter bill-with its defect
Of notice was able to overcome the rul-
ing OF the president Of the Senate, that no
such bill could be voted on until full no
tice was shown.
You should understand then, that Mr..
Page had no hostility TO this bill asa sep
arate measure, but was rather in favor OF
il, and had only objected TO il before the
committee Tor tear Of lis passage would
form precedent TO carry through bill
for the northern extension Of the Western
Vermont road to Center Rutland, which
had been asked for in the Bennington
County memorial and 10 which he was
deadly opposed--ihere being like 'ietec'
of notice ~ that case. II the new ruling
OF the Senate could he made 10 desat this
uorlhern extension bill lis whole purpose
would he answered. And when Mr.
Page had consented TO the passage Of a
canera railroad law which satisfied the
friends of the Western Vermont road and
they had agreed 10 make no application
! for the northern extension-there was no
louger any reason for continuing 10 en-
force such railing. The question in fac,
now Was, how il could be best got rid O
or evaled, especially as theLe was mucl
couse 10 apprehend that j! il was repeated
on the southern extension bill, the decis
ion OF the chair would be appeal d from
and promptly overruled. .N.
The facts in regard to the want of full
notice were stated in the written report o.
| The committee of the House, and The bl
passed that body on Wednesday morning
the first instant, without any opposition

noon il also passed the Senate, the onl,
objection being u suggestion by Mr. Dorr
OF RnilaLd, in regad TO the want of notice
which the r, siding officer disposed OF b,
stating that il wpuld bc taken Tor grantee

required pub icltions had been made un

That question Was at once PIT and deci Ie,
IN tie etrm ,;iv", aud the bill was passe
SO il would seem that the formid ,ble rul
ing heretofore made that the Senate coull
not cote upon a Iail road bill until the prop
y publications were first proved, had, b.
an ingenious coniriyance of"how not TO d
