CONS 70 whom they nero sent were not
ehildren ia a primary school, but men
Ia business life. There was once a ten

from The public. There was certainly
no disposition III the meeting at Ben

in their affection. An official report Of
is proceedings can be seen in another

Az the recent meeting a committee
wcre appointed to prepare and publish
a statement q al the facts connected
with the late negotiations. Thier report
Wa publish this week. II our readers
can find in IL any proof hat the Troy
a Boston Company have been uniustly
treated in these columns we will readi-
~ submit to their eensure. We are in
chned 10 think that aftor its porusal
they viii be no more disposed to honor
the Troy q Boston Company than they
have been heretofore. The local repu-
tation Of that body must have been at
a very low ebb, when they made such a
desperate attempt to obtain from a com
mittos Of the citizens Of q section
thus treated, n certificate Of good moral
character for publication in the Troy
papers. They are likely to need such
a recommend a long while before they
got IL
For many months the Troy d Boston
Company justified TO the merchants Of
Troy their refusal to connect, on tho
ground that some Of their rolling-stock
had been attached and was in the pos
session Of Mr.. Park. During that time
they refused TO receipt or replcvy the
property, in order TO keep in existence
their excuse for not connecting. Final
ly they were compelled by the public
sentiment of Troy to accept Mr.. Parks
offers, and suffer the alleged obstacle
in the way Of q connection to be re.
moved. For days alter hat agreement
was entered into with an understand
ing for an immediate connection they
neglected and refused to connect. At
last forced by their own people to do
something abont a connection, they
submitted b us a proposition which was
an insult 20 common sense and common
honesty Upon the rejection Of this,
they announced hat certain trains
would run 10 the State line at certain
times The passenger arrangements

addition to this they established rates
which shut off trade from Tie city d
Troy - eiiecsually A. did tho break il

connection upon the merchants ofTroy
who hare labored - long to obtain the
means Of access to their customers il
