r.. secretary of was and Mrs. SUR
ratt.

The enemies of Secretary Stanton have
been making great ado over his alleged
refusal to permit Father Walter a
catholic priest, to see Mrs surFatt eS-
cept upon pledge that he would Keep
silent as to his belief in her innocence
Gen. Hardie, who, it was charged, was
made the medium of this requirement
has published lengthy statement oil tne
facts in the case, in the course OF when
he says
al distinctly assert that the Secretary
of War expressly and readily assented
TO the visit of Catholic clergyman To
Mrs. Surratt. He made no condition as
to any conviction of the clergyman as
to the guilt or innocence of the prisoner,
or as to anything he might say on the
subject"
Gen. Hardie, on his own responsible
ity, and in his private capacity entirely,
urged Father w. to be moderate in his
expressions upon the point of guilt, as
he apprehended that his inhammatory
remarks, under an excited state Of pub
lie feeling, might lead to disorder. He
urred this as well-wisher of Father
W., who had been using violent and ex-
citing language, and as friend Of his
church, Gen. Hardie, it should be re
membered, being of the same religious
faith as Father W. and Mrs Surratt-
Secretary Stanton had no knowledge
whatever OF this interview, and suggest
ed nothing Of what transpired during it
Every facility was afforded Father W
4 70 enable him to present his views of tht
matter to the President. Gen. II. says
81 did not seek to meddle with Mr.
Walters convictions as to the innocence
Of Mrs. SuTatt, nor did attempt to re
strain him from any proper efforts t,
bring his convictions to notice in quar-
ters where his representations might b
of avail"

TWENTY ONE YEARS IN GoING 100
MILEs.-The Woodstock Standard says
that package OF letters, evidently in
the original wrapper, was received at
the post Office in that village on Thurs
day the 18th, which was mailed at Iras-
burgh, VT, on the I'd day Of May, 1874,
having been over twenty-one years in
traversing the distance OF one hundred
miles, The letters, of which there are
three in the package, were accompanied
by post-bill, signed by Timothy P.
Redfeld, P. NJ, and were addressed, one
to Norman Williams, Esq, one to Hon.
David Pierce, and one to Haskell g. Pal
mer. The several letters were of consid-
cradle Importance, and there is of course
no means Of knowing how much annoy
ance their non-receipt occasioned. The
package does not bear evidence of having
travelled much and the supposition is
that it has been all this time concealed
by accident, in corner of some post
office and has been brought to light by a
recent house cleaning" and deposited
in the mail without suspicion of it's an
tiquity. This beats all the miscarriages
of mail matter of which we have any
account.

BRANCH RAILROAD. .- The Hydepark
Newsdealer says considerable talk is had
in reference to q branch railroad from
Waterbury to Stowe. Governor Smith
of st. Albans and several other "heavy"
railroad men were at Stowe some time
since, partly for the purpose of investi-
eating this matter. They thought the
road could be easily built by following
up the Waterbury river. Whether this
project will end in "talk" or whether
sufficient capital can be raised to carry
it out successfully are now the main
questions.

eighteen or twenty houses, horses, wag-

The loss is estimated at two hundred
thousand dollars.

ANNEXATION OF CANADA.-Mr- Potter,
our consul general in Canada, attended
the late commercial convention at De.
troit, and in the course of some remarks
in favor of abrogating the reciprocity
treaty, he declared it as his belief that
as the result of such abrogation the
people of Canada themselves would ap.
ply for admission to the United States
in two years. In support of this opin-
ion he also read letter expressing
similar belief from o. s. Wood, superin-
tendant of the Montreal telegraph COM
pany. Mr.. Potter attended the conven-
tion by the permission of his govern
ment, though what he uttered there was
simply his opinion as an individual; !;
but it has thrown the Canadas into an
intense state Of ferment, and a memorial
to the governor general has been
drawn up and signatures are rapidly
being procured for it, declaring that Mr..
Potter, while exercising the ofsce of con-
sui general, has been engaged in SUBJ
verting the Canadian government, and
that it is believed he has been taking
active measures by meetings and other
wise, to promote the annexation of Can.
ada to the United States, and winding
up with a request that the governor
general will investigate the matter.
Mr.. Wood is also frightened at the
sound of his own voice and In q very
meek letter to the directors, In which
he deeply regrets his interference with
politics, from which he has scrupulously
abstained during the eighteen years Of
his connection with the company, b. ,
resigns his office as superintendent OF
the Montreal telegraph company, and q
special meeting of the directors is to be
called to consider it. The whole affair
is very laughable, though interesting as
showing how morbidly sensitive our
Canadian neighbors are on the subject
of annexation. If anything more can
be done or said to convince the Canadi.
ans that we don't want Canada an
nexed, we wish it might be. It is too
bad to have the people of that province
periodically thrown into such causeless
spasms.
