of that sort is calculated to give. When
courts go into the business of running rail
roads, it cannot be matter of surprise that
they should hold that they and their officers
are exempt from all responsibility. 1t may
be consolation to the poor manned suffer
ers by the recent accident at Mortified, to
know that the road is operated by the court
of chancery, and nobody is responsible for
its conduct whoever may suffer from it, but
it is hardly probable they will look at the
decision in precisely that light.
Such decision this renders legislation
imperatively necessary and the next General
Assembly should make haste to enact, that
persons operating railroad, whether trus-
tees. lessees, mortgages, or receivers, or
whatever called or however appointed, should
be held to some legal liability, as the corpo-
ration would be if operating the road

declared that this exemption was in favor OF
rebels solely, and while he did not favor the
oppression of the South, he believed that
they should bear their proportion of the
debt they brought on u.s. He argued that
there was great danger of the cotton crop,
SO protected and privileged, monopolizing the
whole of the South to the exclusion of the
rain-growing, manufacturing and other
interests of the country. He combatted
that notion, that is being SO strongly urged
in Congress, that the tax on cotton now I'M
sold should be removed. He made as he
always does powerful speech, and though
he received from Mr. Fessenden a rebuke for
adhering closely to principles of political
economy as laid down in the books, the lat
ter gentleman would perhaps do better to
forsake some of his ridiculous notions, to
have little less mighty opinion of himself,
and trust occasionally to the opinions and
the views of far wiser men.
The truth is, there is band of spectators
who have purchased all the cotton now I'M
sold, and now desire to be relieved from the
tax, but Mr.. Morrill, sees the little game and
exposes it. He is very unfortunate man
for such designing spectators, for he is too
strictly honest to be any tool of theirs

The Recent Calamity at the Harlow
Bridge.

Never were the sensibilities of the commu-
nifty SO severely shocked as they were on the
announcement Of the recent calamity at the
Harlow Bridge, so called Nothing so dis
astrous to human life ever occurred in this
vicinity, or from railroad accidents or COLI
sions, anywhere in Vermont, or New Eng
land, To my recollection The scene defes
description. Imagination cannot conceive
the horrors and the agonizing miseries of the
wreck. Those who have stood in the battle S
fearful front, and looked upon the scene of
carnage at the battles close, bear testimony
that what was there to be seen tame and
commonplace, compared with sights to be
seen at the horrible catastrophe at the Har-
low Bridge. Though not aware of the acct
dent until several hours after its occurrence
the writer visited the scene of the disaster
the next day, and witnessed sights which he
hopes never to see again
Though the mangled corpses of the dead
had been carried in sadness to their sorrow
ing friends or to the Engine House, and the
wounded, with their agonizing cries for help
and deliverance, were not there. vet the
sights of wreck and ruin there to be seen
were fearful. Men with oxen were at work
pulling away the wrecks of the car and ten
der, from among which the mutiated forms
of the dead and wounded were taken. Here
and there could be seen the hearts blood OF
the poor victims, frozen upon the broken
timbers, where it fell as the life of it's owner
ebbed away to the land of rest 7 stood
upon the brink from which the fearful plunge
was made. 1t is quite enough to chill the
warm flow of life to do So
To think that down that fearful chasm a
car filed with sixty or seventy human beings
was hurled GO or 20 feet to the timbers and
rocks below, and then for those who might
be so fortunate as to survive the fall. to be
crushed beneath the weight of the quickly |

New HAMPSHIRE PoLITfCs The Demo

New HAMPSHIRE PoLTIcs.-The Demo
Gratis of New Hampshire opened the campaign
in that state about two weeks since by the
denomination Of Mr.. Sinclair and the pas
sage Of Democratic resolutions in favor of
taxation of government bonds, white man g
government, and the various other propo-
stions that now constitute the planks of the
Democratic platform. Last week the Repub-
licans held an enthusiastic convention and
renominated Gov. Hartman. The conven-
ton also unanimously passed the following
resolution
Resolced, That in behalf Of the loyal peo-
pie of New Hampshire we do hereby pro-
claim as our and their first choice for next
President of the United States, General
Ulysses S. Grant, who led our armies to
victory and our country to peace. Reticent
and sagacious in council, self-possessed and
daring in battle, modest and magnanimous
in victory, he is first in the confidence and
first in the hearts of his countrymen..

FINANCE.-The Finance Committee Of the
Senate last week reported a bill for funding
the public debt, substantially like that rec
commended by Secretary McCulloch In this
report the committee say that the govern
ment bonds ought to be paid in gold, but
they add that they deem it unwise to pass
resolutions making such an affirmation, as
such resolutions settle nothing. The better
way to make sure that the government shall
meet all it's obligations, is to authorize a new
loan payable principal and interest in gold,
and with the proceeds Of such loan redeem
or purchase the 5-2os, about which the con-
troversy has arisen.

Liability of the Vermont Central
Railroad as Common Carriers.
The Burlington Free Press

The Burlington Free Press reports a re-
cent railroad case as follows
Mr. C. E. Paige brought suit against j .
Gregory Smith and others. the managers of
the Vermont Central Road, common
carriers, to recover the value of car load
Of hay which was destroyed by fire while in
their custody The plaintiff claimed that
the defendants agreed to carry the hay at a
certain price. he furnishing box cars with
covering to them that the cars were furn-
ished and the hay loaded. Before reaching
ST. Adams the defendants were notified that
the hay very near the engine, and in
danger of being destroyed by fire therefrom,
but no heed was given to the notice. and the
hav was burnt from that cause. The defend
ants denied their liability, denying that they
of, or are, in fact, the Vermont Central
Railroad; but said that they are the re-
ceivers of the Road, appointed such by the
Court, were therefore officers of the Court
and, being such, they do not assume the
duties and responsibilities of common car
riers, and cannot be held liable as such.
The Court sustained this view of the case,
and ordered verdict entered for the de-
PENDANTS.
We presume the decision of the court as
above set forth is supported by the law as
settled in chancery proceedings and Mr..
Paige learns thus that chancery is the high
est equity, when it appoints persons to run
and then denies that it has made
them common carriers. Mr.. Paige was
doubtless told by the court that he could file
his claim in the court Of chancery, which
appointed Mr.. Smith and others as receivers,
and, if he left long-lived line of heirs, they
might, in the next or some succeeding gen
Grafton, get pay for his hay; and he is at
liberty to take such comfort as an intimation
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1867-12-25

replace the one lately burned. The passen-
gers aboard the Inflated car were workmen
engaged in building this trestle bridge.
Little did they imagine, on leaving their
work an hour before, that they had complet-
ed their labors on earth, and that their next
return to their labors would be their last.
The bridge burned was no insignificant
structure, it being 800 feet in length and
stretching from hill to hill and spanning the
river and highway, made it-when viewed
from the road far below work of wonder.
It's destruction by fire, in a very short space
of time, shows the frailty of mans works
when dealt with by the elements. But the
destruction of mechanism which mans la
Dor can rear again, not involving loss of life,
is of trifiing moment when compared with
the calamity of which am writing.
One lesson to be learned from this disaster
is the instability of earthly things, and the
uncertainty of life. Men, strong in the
robustness of manhood, are hurled, so to
speak, without one moments warning from
this life to the other. Without wishing to
reflect at all upon the engineer who ran the
engine which showed the car down the fatal
chasm, (whose feelings of regret and sor
row are as poignant and keen as mortal well
can bear,) | would suggest if it would not
be well for railroad managers to learn les
son from this melancholy affair, upon the
great Importance of securing the services of
men as employees who are every way worthy
of trust, and who place just estimate upon
the sacredness of human life. No doubt the
safety of railroad riding would be greater if
matters were arranged as was once illustrat-
ed in Comic Almanac thus,-upon every
engine should be placed box just large
enough to carry one man, and in this box
some of the highest officials of the road must
always ride :, IT. =.
