The RAILWAY BLoCKADEIN SoUTH-wESTERS
VT.-IIon. c. W Willard, Of the Montpelier
Freeman, who it will be remembered was the
Chief Attorney for the Burdens in their ap-
plication before the Legislature last fall for
a railroad to the State line, closes an article
on this matter, with the following significant
remarks:
The proposition made by the Troy and Bos-
ton railroad, as given above, is quite charac-
teristic, not only of that corporation, but of
most railroads which feel strong enough to
defy public sentiment and outrage Justice.
Being in New York, the corporation is-ex-
cept as we shall state herealter-beyond the
reach Of our laws, and its franchises and
privileges are therefore in little danger of for
fixture because of any hostile public opinion
or legislation in this State. Whatever pri-
vate grief it may have had when it severed
the connection originally. its course since
must have been inspired mainly by purpose
to injure Mr.. Park road and the people of
southwestern Vermont. \ connection would
have benefited Troy, would have increased
the revenues Of the Troy and Boston road,
and would have saved many thousands ofdol-
lars to the people desiring business commun-
icatlon with Troy. The interruption of COM
munication has injured every one who had
any interest in it, and has benefited nobody
although it probably has been agreeable to the
feelings Of the managers Of the Troy and Bls-
ton railroad company.
There is short piece Of road through
Pownal in this State, which i operated bv
the Troy and Boston corporation, and is a
necessary part of their nam line Of road. \
bill was before the legislature at the session
last fall-which if 1t had been Passed. as it
ought to - would have taken from the
Troy and Boston company the right 10 oper-
ate that piece ofroad if they persisted in re-
fusing to connect with the Remington and
Rutland road at the State line We never
really understood why the bill wac nj pressed
to vote, but we presume some railrcnd inilu-
ence caused 1t to be pat asii, We urec.
however, ii the pc pie V . ~, We -. IS ~

The Condition OF the south.

The secret political order called by the
fantastic name of ' Ku klux Khan" which
is said to have been first organized in the
City of New y ork by well-known Tennessee
Conservatives, now has its qualifications
through Arkansas, Kentucky, Georgia and
is rapidly spreading over the southern States.
lite mission Is thus stated by the Richmond
EnFairer " The first duty of a PEOPLE
whose liberty and property are menaced as
ours are by abandoned ap1sJatcs, greedy
squatters and insolent negroes, II to organize
with such promptitude and stem resolution
as TO strike terror into the guilty souls Of the
secret negro societies and their delegates to
Convention : and the next will be a lesson
70 those criminals which will teach them that
the men who for nearly four years defed the
armies OF powerful government will not
submit to political outlawry and negro and
squstter dominion.
The Worlds Augusta correspondent, who
ought to know, says " It appears TO meet
with all but universal favor, and promises
some Developments, ere long, of interest"
The first Of these developments has come in
the assassination of Hon G. W. Ashburn,
at Columbus, Ga, the other day. The cir

There an. tbo-.. who dreaded impeachment,
and still dread its result, because It is a new
proceeding. sis applied to the head of the ma
lion. They look on daily with fear and
trembling, and believe in their souls that an
nrebv and chaos are coming again, if these in
noyation- on the established course Of things
% on. Bot as we look at it, it was high time
Inst some such check was put ON the growing
power and influence of the President. The
only trouble about it j. that it was not ap-
piled s,.acr. Tie conduct of Pres. Polk in
maxim, war with Mexico without cln,ulting
Congress. which alone has the constitutional
power OF peace and war, was an invasion Of
popular liberties for which impeachment
was the true punishment. Tie conduct of
Presidents Pierce and Buchanan in the Kan
sas troublc-. was again good ground for i'm
parchment. and if Congress bad been 50 com
psci thar jhat penalty could have been APP
piled. ami il had h.cn ri-ii.y enforced, 1t
would probably hive saved us the countless
cost and blo,isacI Of the late War To the
objections of those who ask if impeachment
Is now to be adopted as a common remedy, it
is Il fitting answer that it will probably not
be very soon again that impeachment Of the
President shall be both needed and practic-
able but that. in the words Of the Philadel
phia 4nl.ricar. "unul our Presidents shall
learn to respect the Constitution they have
been in the habit o'taIking so glibly Of, and
until it shall be put beyond their reach to ar
rogatc to themselves power never granted by
the Constitution or laws, and until they learn
to be less Of the aut0crat and more of the
democratic republican, it Is to be hoped that
impeachment 60 on with it, mission"
We do not share in the belief Of the Lon
don Times that the result Of this struggle
will he 20 make the legislative POWER supreme,
as il England. The Governors Of our States
IRE executive officers Of high responsibility
They are the commanders-in chief Of the MI
litia and armed forces Of the States, have the
veto and pardoning powers. are entrusted with
the preservation Of the peace, the enforce
ment Of the laws and the supervision Of pub
lie affairs, just the same as the President. Bat
in many states they have been deprived Of
great deal Of their former power Of appoint
meut, and control Of patronage Yet they
are generally respected, and their decisions
are not lightly set aside by the legislative
hcdies. We presume that the struggle in na-
ticnal affairs viii find much about the same
solution. We see already the beginning Of it
in the Tenure of Office bill, and with the es-
enlistment of that law, ana the admonition
to future presidents against the assumption Of
authority to nullily law On the ground Of an
eonsiitutionality, which will be afforded ly
the result Of the great trial now in progress,
The nation viii enter on safer and more
wholesome existence.
