RAILROAD PROGRESS.

We observe some tokens of advancement
in the projected railroad from New
Hampshire through Woodstock to Rut-
land. This is an important interest both
to New Hampshire and Woodstock, and
has our cordial good wishes. 1t is not,
however, in the line of the most import
ant development of railroad facilities in
our own State, and to this we should be
glad to see some share of the public at
tcntion directed.
Montpelier having now become per
manently established as the capitol of the
State, and having already much of the
character, both for position and social
weight, Of such relation to the State, it
is an object to the whole as well as to
her that she should be brought into con-
nection in the most convenient manner
with all the parts. This, it is well I'M
derstood, is feasible by railroad 10 the
cast, connecting with the Passumpsic at
Wells River. A route more to the north
may be practicable, corresponding to the
beautiful stage route towards Danvllle,
but this is all beyond the limit OF our
intended observations. To connect the
Central with our western railroads, near
Rutland, is believed to be at once very
feasible, and an important object to inter
c,ts on this side, and in the central and
northeastern portions Of the State. The
route indicated leaves the Rutland and
Burlington in Rutland or Pitisford, and,
by the nearest branch Of the White River
finds the Central Road at Bethel, 1t i,
said a good route may be had here, most
important to the towns concerned, in a
distance lcss than thirty miles. A glance
at the map shows the facility of such q
route for connection of the south west
crn and central portions of the State, and
might suggest to that valuable and eff
cicnt railroad interest in the former quar-.
ter, the Western Vermont, line o
policy IN extending its own business anC
InAu ,ncc, quite worthy Of its regard
The map shows, upon the west size o
the State, no railroad route better worthy
of the regard Of our citizens, than this o
Western Vermont 1t places us in init
mate connection with a portion of tn
State inferior TO none in business activit,
or social advancement. While refusin,
to intermeddle with the financial policie
of rival corporations, we cannot but loo
at the peculiar interests of this road a
deserving the sympathy of patriotic men
and we would like to see its power ex
tended by any plan which might not at
stract from others, but would great
deyolope and strengthen disconnected poi
tons of the State.

MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE.

Last year was one of peculiar discout-
agtments to Middlebury College. Thu
Plumber of students was greatly diminish1
yed by the war, its able and popular
President was compelled Ky ill health to
resign, and one of the best buildings was
burned TO the ground. But these dark
clouds are now dispelled. Starr Hall has
been rebuilt, the number of students is
increasing, new Professorship has been
added, President elected, and the whole
institution placed on frmer foundation
by the improvement Of its financial con.
dition. Sixty thousand dollars has re-
Gently been added to the permanent funds
of the College and there is fair prospect
of larger accessions for the better cndow
ment of the institution. The following
certificate has recently been issued:
The undersigned, appointed by the Pres
ident and Fellows OF MIDDLEBURY Col

CONGRESS. The Senate. has during
the week passed ills to rcorganizc the
judiciary, abolishing the circuit courts and
giving their present jurisdiction to the
district courts TO authorize the President
to transfer a gunboat to the government
of Liberia; TO facilitate The settlement of
the accounts of the treasurer of the United
States. The Senate finance committee
has agreed to report the loan bill as it
came from the House, thus making sure
of its passage in its present form. The
House military Committee is unanimously
in favor Of some bill for the equalization
of bounlics. The expected decision in the
Brooks and Dodge Case was reached on
Friday. Mr.. Brooks was ousted by
vote of 81 to As, and Mr. Dodge was
put in his place by ~ TO 81. The vote
was not strictly partisan, and the evidence
showed illegal voting on both sides
Neither of the candidates ought to have
been permitted to occupy the seat. The
House has unanimously instructed the
Judiciary Committee to prepare bill to
punish swindling claim agents and attor-
neys for grand larceny. Legislation on
tins subject has long been needed. The
House has agreed TO the appropriation of
$4,000 to test petroleum as fuel. The
Foreign Committee, after consulting the
Execuive. will introduce resolution to
send fleet to protect our fishermen on
the northern coast. Last Friday the
Senate passed the Civil Rights Bill over

When Mr.. Morgan recorded his vote in
the affirmative the galleries applauded
loudly. The passage of the civil rights
bill by the Senate, over the veto, will give
general satisfaction to the people of the
North. There is no doubt of its passage
by the House, and it will thus become
law, notwithstanding the presidents OBJ
,jeclions. Its enforcement does not depend
in any important degree upon the presi-
dent.
Since the above was in type we learn
that the House passed the Civil Rights
Bill over the veto. The vote stood l22
TO 40 The Speaker announced that the
requisite two-thirds had agreed TO the
passage of the bill, therefore il had be-
come law. 1t is rumored that the
President will refuse to execute the law
but this is probably IA canard. We can
not believe such thing possible. The
Loan Bill passed. the Senate on Monday
in the form in which it came from the
House. 1t now goes to the President

Mr. G. G. Rosenberg, is quite extensively known
as poet, art, dramatic, and musical critic, and
HtteTdteur generally, in all of which speclalties
he is more than clever. He now brings forward
still another claim TO the honor Of an "Admi-
rable Crichton." and takes at once an enViable
place among our American artists. His painting
represents view OF New Yerk Bay, from South
BROOKLYN, near Hamilton Ferry. IL has points
OF striking excellence. The drawing Is bold and
fun OF character; the balance oil light aud shade
is effective; the composition is admirable in
arrangement and invention; and the general
effect is spirited, and batting certain unsatisfac-
toriness IN The tone OF the colors, Is emnently
pleasing. --~s
We understand that the work is to be en-
graved and reproduced in the form OF a chrome
lithograph. The picture, it strikes us, is capt
tally adapted TOR this purpose. T1e scene Is
not only attractive for its natural beauties, but
its associations and its relation to the great en-
porium of the Western hemisphere give 1t much
additional interest in the eyes of our citizens
