wrre informed Of BIS readiness 10 con-
meet, and asked 10 establish the terms
u tho connection With this invita-.
ton hey have not seen fit to comply,
and have intimsted IN other quarters
that no connection would bo made
when The negotiations became known,
il VAS certainly believed that the pub
lie sentiment Of Troy was such that the
Troy & Boston Company eonld not
longer refuse 10 connect The sup
posed necessities Of their situation were
retied upon more than the positive
agreement Of tho Company. The value
Of tho las, article was too well known
IN this section to be relied upon in The
least. Had it been supposed to depend
wholly upon the viii Of the Company,
no ono would have been weak enough
70 believe IN connection until it was
actually eifcutssi II would seem from
this last Development that the Troy q
Boston Company are determined to fur
nish further justification, needless as it
is, for the very low estimation in which
they are held among honorable men,
II there was any depth ofinfamy new
er before touched by the Troy & Bos-
ton Co, they have certainly reached
j, now. A refusal 10 connect at the
present time is an outrage on the pub
he without the pretensc Of an excuse
Nothing growing out Of the old Difficult
" affords the shadow OF a iustifca-
iion for their present conduct Their
contract with the Rensselaer, & Sara
toga Company permits them to connect
with two trains a day, and even that
they refuse 10 do They have accepted
M satisfactory compromise Of all their
difficulties with Mr. Park, and still the
public are made 10 safer
II IS not always pleasant to be cheat
cd: bot under any code of morality,
except that practieed by the Troy &
Boston Co, il is more honorable than
TO cheat. The success Of the Troy &
Boston Go. IN getting their cars and
wood delivered TO them without max
ing connection, may be productive Of
considerable pleasure 20 them and their
friends. Their management IN the
matter will undoubtedly be appreciated
by those who admired The skill with
which they sent an organized force over
the line, drove away the officers Of the
State, and run of property held to sat
isiy their debts under the laws of Yer
mont The citigens o. Troy who were
so jubulant whom cars for which the
sheriff ~ Bennington County and hi
surciiss were responsible, found Their
way into the possession Of the Troy &
Boston Company in the darkness o.
night, are very likely 70 consider this
track master piece IN It's way though
perhaps not equal to eyading the laws
Of their own State by fling false affida-
wits IN tho offico 81 the State engineer
We are willing TO co6fess that our
railroad men are no match for the
Troy 4 Boston managers IN dishon-
orable dealings. Long experience

the work, give them great advantage
over those whose dealings are 81 an
other kind. The Troy Il Boston Co.
