Whcrus il bs, been made 20 appear by petit
tions aud representations from tlr people Of the
Sout-Wc,tcru part oi thi. state, ldre ,ed TO me,
that the Troy ana Boston Railroad a corporation
existing uudor the Laws OF the State of New York,
has. since the sixteenth day OF January 1867,
without lust cause, refused 60 connect for the
TRANSPORTATION of passengers and freight in amy
way, with the Rutland and bennington Qormery
the Western Vermont Railroad; and II has been
made further to apl ~ that this refusal has deprv
ed the inhabitants OF that part of the State of dl-
rect railroad communication with the south and
West 10 the great damage of their large manutac-
turing, commercial and agricultural interests and
it has been made further 20 appear that the people
of that portion Of the State desire some immed-
ate legislation which is necessary to enable them
TO take such action, boy building a new railroad as
will give them, within one year, direct railroad
communication South and West; and II has been
further made 60 appear that, il obliged to wait Tor
this legislation until the annual session OF the
General Assembly, the building OF the proposed
railroad will be deferred al least year and the
interests, already severely suffering, will receive
great, and Ia some cases, rreparahle injury, while
( the LEGISLATION desired would much lessen, 1t not
wholly avert the threatened ruin OF large and val
liable manufacturing industries; and it has been
made further TO appear that railroad aud business
interests in other parts of the State would be
greatly benefited by legislation at this time;
AND WHEREAS, These representations are
sufficient in my Judgment, to make it my official
duty to oonyoke the General Assembly in Special
Session;
No,o. therefore, l. PAUL DnINGHAN, Cover
nor of Vermont 10y virtue OF the authority vested
in me by the Constitution, do issue this my proc
lamation, conNening the General Assembly IN
Special Session And | DO hereby summon the

tives TO meet IN their respective Chambers al

A meeting at Bennington, Tuesday, to consider
the proposition of building new railroad from
that place to Chatham, n Y, and close connec-
ton with the Harlem road, was largely attended
by the prominent business men Of western Vermont.
The sentiment of the meeting was unanimously
and strongly in favor OF undertaking the enterprise
which il is estimated will cost 81, 400, ,000 and
for which $500 900 have been already subscribed
Resolutions were adopted denouncing the course
of the Troy and Boston railroad, in attempting to
force the Rutland and Bennington to sell their
road to them and also affirming that if the latter
road didn't get some outside connection, aud that
speedily, it could not pay its running expenses and
would have to stop operations.
