SUIT FOR TREsPAss BY THE Troy AND
Boston RAILRoAD-A SINGULAR YER
DIcT.--A singular verdict has just been
rendered in a suit for trespass brought
by the Troy and Boston railroad against
John NJ. Potter, of Pownal. The case
was an action brought against Mr.. P. for
entering, as the declaration alleges, the
lands owned by the company lying con-
tiguous to and within the enclosure Of
its railroad track, and taking therefrom
the grass growing thereon and appropri-
ating it to his own use. The amount of
damages was immaterial, the object OF
the action being to determine the ques-
ton if parties have right to enter such
premises and appropriate such property.
1t was tried at the Bennington County
Court now in session, and a verdict re-
turned for the defendant. Exceptions
were taken to the verdict by the counsel
for the plaintiff, and the case will be
argued at the Supreme Court in Febru-
airy.

The TROUBLES IN MIssoyRI.-A dispatch
from st. Louis 18th, to the Cincinnati
Gazette, says:
Nothing later has been received in re-
gard to affairs in Lexington. 1t is not
unlikely that the United States civil
officers who have left Lexington, as they
assert, because their lives were in dan.
ger, did SO to involve, If possible, the
State authorities in a difficulty with the
Federal Government, which would effect
the withdrawal of the militia.
Prominent Conservatives have gone to
Gen. Hancock with piteous tales of per-
secution, and some of them have laid
their grievances before Gen. Grant, who
is still here, and 1t is not improbable that
United States troops will be sent to the
scene of disturbance. A notable feature
in this case is that some of the papers,
the Republican of this city being among
them, that were the strongest in their
denunciations of Government troops be-
ing sent against Governor Jackson's in
surgents in 1861, are now the most
urgent in their appeals for a United
States force to drive Gov. Fletcher's
militia out Of Lexington.
What the upshot will be is not appa-
rent to the naked eye, but there is one
thing certain, bushwhacking and unre.
stricted lawlessness will have to cease
in this State, and whether the State OF

THOSE PIGs.-Editor Rutland Herald; -
The Courier states that his Democratic

$50 pounds, and that the Postmaster
has pig about twice as Old fed on Ne
gro Suffrage and runs to wool &c. Now
Mr.. Editor, Mr.. Paige's Democratic pig
was procured the I'd day of April, '66, and
the Postmaster's pig, of no particular
politics that his owner is aware OF, was
procured the 4th day of June, '66, Paige's
pig at that time weighing as he claimed
100 pounds, the Postmaster's about 30
pounds. If the Postmaster's pig was
twice as old as Paige's, it was at a time
when neither was week old. The
Postmaster's pig at months and ten
days old weighed 500 IA pounds on
the same scales,a and weighed both by the
same man. The only other questions of
intrest seems to be how much does tho

RUTLAND HERALD.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER %, 1865
The Free dmen,s Bureau.

Since the organization Of the Freed
mems Bureau, 1t has, perhaps, more than
any other public institution, been the
butt of abuse for Democratic politicians
and journals. They have told us that 1t
was entailing an useless expense on the
count Y, that the people of the South,
and tie negroes particularly, would
be bett.r off by far without it, and
many other things calculated to preju-
dice the minds of the Northern people
against it and its workings. But, as in
other cases, truth will prevail in the
case of the Freedmen's Bureau, and the
recent report of its Commissioner to
Congress would seem to give the lie to
the assertions of the copperhead croak-
ers. The report shows that the Bureau
has been managed with careful economy,
and that in consideration of the vast
amount of good accomplished by it, has
been remarkably inexpensive. 1t con-
trolled almost exclusively by military
officers, whose salaries are not increased
by the duties which it entails upon them
and whom it would be necessary for the
government to keep in service even
though the Bureau did not exist.
At the time Of its organization it re-
ceived no appropriation from Congress
for its support, but it obtained from va
rious sources, up to October /, 1855, the
sum of 1907 1896. OF this only $478, 1868
were expended in 1865, the principal
items being labor $237097; clothing,
subsistence, &C., s75,504, and schools,
$27, 819. OF the balance, S115,236 were
retained bounties held in trust for COL
ored soldiers leaving the net balance
S3l3,796. For the year ending October
/, 1866, there was received from sources
similar 10 those which furnished the
revenues Of the previous year, 7O6,988,
which, with the above balance, made
the total receipts $1020,784. The ex-
penditures for the same period were
S730,400, the principal items being
S426,91s for labor by freedmen and other
employees, AID for schools, Sll5,26l.
The number OF rations issued from June,
1866, to March, 1885, both inclusive, was
1,s7s,52s to white refugees, and 6,014,-
49, to freedmen.
Thus, then, it will be seen that in
stead OF being an extravagant and cor
rupt institution, the Bureau has, with.
eat ssnsibly bursening the government
been Of immense service in restoring or.
der in the South in relieving the neces'
sites of the destitute, without regard tc
color in establishing an industrial sys,
TEN; in saving the rebels from tbs
effects Of their inhuman policy, by in
citing the freedmen to make labor con
tracts; and in educating the down
trodden race whose enlightenment was
prohibited by the cruel and unjust stat
utes of the slave States.
