AGAIN IN trouble. -Notwithstand-
ing the law enacted at the last session
of the Legislature for its relief, the
Bennington and Rutland Railroad is
again in trouble. This time its enemy
is the Troy and Boston Road, which
has made such contracts with other
roads as to deprive the bennington
Road of all through business, and being
located out of the State, our State law
cannot of course reach it. This state
of affairs docs not at all please the
President of the Road, L. W. Park,
Esq, who has issued in the Benning-
ton Hammer an appeal to people liviH 2
on the line of the road to build the
projected connection between that
road and the Harlem, "by which they
will feed each other and control all
through business between New York
and Montreal" Mr. Park thinks il
the connection is not built, the road
will have to be closed, as the way
business alone will not support it.

The Cholera.


The steamship Virginia from Liver
pool, which arrived at New York on
the 18th inst. brought a number of
persons sick with Asiatic cholera /
The disease appeared when the vessel !
was eight days out and from one hun
bred to two hundred persons were /
attacked, thirty seven Of whom died
on the voyage When il is stated that
the vessel brought over thousand
steeragc passengers, it is surprising
that the number Of deaths il not
greater There is naturally much
alarm in New York and other large
cities, and preparations arc being
made to arrest SO far as possible the
dreadful disease. The cholera frs!
appeared an America at Quebec on
the Sih Of June 1882, and at Montre-
al ON the 10th. Ten days later it
suddenly broke out in New York, and
soon after spread to all our populous
cities
1t is the opinion Of the most distin-
guished physicians Of Europe and this
country that cholera is not conta-
gions 1t is generated by the I'M
wholesome air produced by filth or by
living in overcrowded rooms. The
disease on board the Virginia was con-
fined to the steerage passengers, not
one of the cabin passengers being at
tackled. So, too, in the case of the
England at Halifax. There was no
cholera at Liverpool when those yes
sells left that port; it made its appear
ance when they were out several days.
1t has been proven that persons who
take care Of cholera patients, due re-
gard being paid to cleanliness, are
seldom stricken down. Cleanliness
and sobriety are pretty sure proven
tives; hence the great Importance Of
strictly observing them.
The Cholera, if il acts as it did on
its former visits to this country, will for
the most part be confined TO the large
cities; still no community is secure
against its mysterious approach 1t is
ten fold more liable to break out in
St. Adams than it was during its last
visit, when there were several well de-
fined cases, because filth is more
abundant 1t is certainly to be re.
GREETED that while all the prominent
towns in the State are using active
measures to prevent its rayages, ST
Adams IS doing comparatively little
The selectmen of Brattleboro, for in
stance, have issued special sanitary
order requiring all drains, cesspool,
and other places of filth in that plac,
to be thoroughly purified, and if no
done by the second day Of May, thel
they will order the same to be done a
the expense OF the occupant of sucl
! premises. Would it not be well fol

Another Terrific Explosion

The British Steamer Eeropcan was
blown up at Aspinwall on the 81 inst,
and forty-six persons killed aud seven
teen wounded The accident was
caused by the removal of some cases
of nitro-glycerine. We copy from the
Panama Star of the 9TH:
The Euroyeon arrived at Aspinwall
on the morning of the 81 inst, and
came alongside the Railroad Compa-
ny's wharf, aud commenced discharg
ing her cargo. Nearly al the local
freight had been discharged, when,
about Z o'clock on the morning of the
3D., a terrific explosion occurred on
board, which tore away the upper
parts Of the ship and blew several
large plates off the side. The wharf
at which the vessel was loading was
literally torn to pieces. The ship and
wharf both caught fire and was saved
from entire destruction by the oXer
tons Of several citizens who got til,

hours extinguished the flames, regard

Vrrorp On Friday, Gov. Fenton
vetoed the Whitehall and Plattsburgh
Railroad Bill. which undoubtedly is
not at all relished by those living on
the line Of the proposed route. The
bill requires the State Treasurer, on
due proof TO the Controller that the
company has built ten or more miles
of its road, to pay $4,000 per mile
therefor TO the Treasurer Of the com
pany, and at the same rate, from time
to time, on the construction Of the
road, not exceeding ninety miles
This expense 20 the State would be
Sl50,00O, and the Governor does not
think the expenditure advisable al
this time when the people are already
SO heavily burdened with taxes.

SHORT AND SwEET."-A person writing
TO the editor of the Radical organ in this
city from Washington, and who is charac-
terised by him as cone of the truest and
best men in the nation" says: ".See Cor
erncr BrOraIow and tell him to urge the Legis-
tatTe not to adjourn sine die, but take recess.
There IS yet more oork 10 do"
From the same source and its contribut-
ing powers, the Legislature has received its
inspiration all along. STEVENS and his des-
picable followers have shaped the course of
the Tennessee Legislature with much more
success than they have been able to control
that Of the Congress of the Union. The
Congressional reyolutionists through their
miserable tools have had full sway over the
domestic concerns of Tennessee, and will CON
tinue to have as longas such men as now con-
troll her affairs are continued in office. Time
and againthese and desperate adventu-
rers have received assurances from Washing
onthat they would be sustained in their out
RACES upon the people Of Tennessee, by the
Northern people. Wholly disappearing
the people Of the State, they have only re-
presented the extreme radical views of the
present disunionists-an have shown a sub
servience and pliancy in obeying orders,
which, while securing them the temporary
favor Of their masters, will cover their
names and memories with loathing and re-
proach for all tine to come.
Cruelty, violence and revenge may be
"swee" to n certain grade of mind and
courage but they have never secured the re-
spect and admiration of mankind, and have
never illustrated justice, wisdom or any of
the other higher traits of human nature
Respecting the character of the further
work TO be done" we are scarcely able to
form a conjecture. We will await the fur.
ther unfolding of the schemes Of tyranny
upon an unohending people with compare
tive indifference, in the assured prospect
that whatever may be done will be tempo
rary, and must of necessity soon pass away
But for the vile instruments of the Wash
ington traitors to liberty and good govern
ment, and their obsequious minions in this
State, there can bo but one feeling-indigna-
ton, disgust and scorn.

THE CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIAN

This body, composed of representatives
from twenty-one Syncds of the Church, was
in session at Greensboro Kentucky, last

The party of ladies and gentlemen who
lately visited St. Louis, and were so cordi-
ally received and Hospitality entertained,
extended their visit to Chicago. Referring
to their arrival and reception there, the
Time has the following:-"We regret to he
obliged to state that large minority of our
board of trade has a voice which, like that
of SemprOnius, sis still for war" This mi
nority is a belligerent minority. When the
question came up about receiving these
Southern ladiesand gentlemen, this minority
became alarmed and hostile. 1t wanted the
drawbridge of the chamber of commerce
raised and its portcullis lowered. 1t wanted
the banners to be chung on the outer walls
of that composite architectural fortress, and
was exceedingly anxious to cry, "Havoc
and let slip the dogs of war;" 1t regarded
the coming of these southern gentlemen as
an invasion, and grew certified as it cen
templated the probabilities of general mas
acre. Inspired by these sentiments, this mi
nority in the board of trade was averse to
receiving their guests, fearing lest it was an
other horse in whose belly were concealed
elements for the destruction of Trojan Chi
cago.
We take pleasure in assuring our visitors
thaI the catnOllc Northwest, alIhOugh much
influenced, is not wholly controlled by this
Boston minority. There are elements here
that are glad of an opportunity to afford
them a cordial welcome. The numerical if
not the majority Of our people are happy to
meet these representatives Of the extreme
south, and to assure them of desire to CO.
operate in every measure which has for its
end the benefit of our respective interests.
The indemnity of the enterprises and future
projects and destiny of all the inhabitants
of the great valley of the Mississippi is well
understood by a majority of our people.
knowing this they welcome these southern
men to a consultation, to an Interchange of
views, to a comparison of wants, and to an
insight into our social and commercial life,
with the hope that the result may be mutual
a grand reciprocal benefit.

and after many years were made free. The
ancestors of the negro sold him. They were
put to toll and kept so ever since. They
have greatly increased in number and intel

ton the negroes, by the fullness of time ard
providence of God, through the instrument
tality of men, have gained their freedom,
which will remain to them and their de-
scendants forever.

and honest TO be careful about making con-
tracts, to reduce them 10 writing if possible,
and abide by them. He had seen rapid adj
vances made to a higher civilization during
the past year. They should be charitable,
care for the aged and build churches and
school houses. They should obey all laws,
and not take redress upon themselves. The
civil courts were open to them. He advised
them to respect all legal authority and try
to bring to light all crime. The Govern
