tsutland AND Woodstock Railroad

The merits Of the above railroad were
and well discussed ut late meeting of
the Clarendon debating society. The
question being:
ResolrCd that it WOULD be for t e interest
Of the town of Clarendon to bond itself for
the construction Of the Rutland and
Wsaslst..,E railr..td
Much interest was manifested by the
entcrpri.iug citizens Of Clarendon. The
disputant> appearing in favor of the road,
Mcssrs C. G. Pierce. Elliott NJ. Grover,
\ D. Smith, r. Powers, and numerous
volunteers | would like to lay before
the people Of Rutland full report of the
we'll considered argument presented by
these gentlemen, but time and space will
not permit However, viii make few
extracts FROM the earnest speech of Mr.
Grover.
He proceeded to describe the immense
advantages Rutland would derive from
the Road by. saying, that in short term
Of years the people OF Rutland would see
the necessity Of the proposed ship-canal
to Lake Champaign, which will ultimate
ly be completed, and which with the pro-
posed railroad, will give new impetus
to the manufacturing interests of Rutland
and vicinity, and will give it the advan-
tages Of a water traffic, and will double,
aye. treble the population of what will
then bc the city OF Rutland, and also the
capital of the State He hoped the citi-
zens would seize this golden opportunity
with energy and will, and place their
shoulder to the wheel Immediately, never
relaxing their efforts uutil success crown
ed their labors. He also pointed out its
advantages to the town of Clarendon in
well-chosen and forcible argument, say
ing, and truly saying, that real estate in
Clarendon would be worth fifty per cent.
more; that industry and wealth would in
crease, and that Clarendon will be to Rut-
land as Cambridge is to Boston. He also
said the main argument against the road
was the cost, the almighty dollar; that peo-
pie were afraid to lend their aid for fear
of losing few of these mighty dollars.
They had rather bury their talent in the
earth, than give it to the exchangers and
have it increased two-fold as did the faith
full servant who was made lord over many
things for being faithful in few. Hop
ing the opponents of this grand scheme
would soon see it in new and clear light,
and laying aside all party prejudices
would consent to work together, and at
an early day complete this grand enter
prise which is now being considered by
some of the best minds of the country.

We are pleased to observe that our in
telligent Clarendon friends are awake to
the building of the Rutland and Wood
stock Railroad, and trust they will con-
tinue to agitate and discuss this question

Bonding the Town.

Editors Ratland Herald The growth
and prosperity Of Rutland is, or should
be, matter of interest to all within its
limits. How can its interests be pro-
noted, and its future prosperity be placed
beyond any and every contingency The
building of the Rutland and Woodstock
railroad insures its success, and its prop
erty owners are asked to loan its credit TO
the amount of 8 per cent. of their prop
erty, and receive therefor the stock of the
company for an equal amount. 1t seems
to me that the benefit to be derived from
increased population and business would
more than compensate for the outlay, even
were it all to be paid. Vermont railroads
made us what we are, and have they not
added materially, if not entirely built
all western cities What has made
Chicago. Railways and the Rutland
and Woodstock railroad will make Rut-
land, in population, thrice its present
numbers before the maturity of its Londs.
One says, "let those that want a rail
road to Woodstock build it." How was
the Union and Central Pacific built /?
Did not Congress, during desolating
war, when we We're expanding a million
of dollars per day, mortgage the prop
erty of every man in the nation for the
sum of sixty millions, and large tracts of
public land Have we ever paid one dol
lar of those bonds, and have not the COM
pauy promptly paid the interest as it be-
came dues Are not these great thor
oughfares, uniting the Atlantic and
Pacific after the Woodstock is built, a
great national blessing. and can any one
compute the increase of wealth that will
accrue to this country by the construction
of those lines; and is it not all tributary
to the treasury of the United States :
Congress did not ask who had "wood lot"
or building lots" The great question to
be determined is, is it to be public bene-
fit T.?
If the puiiding of the Rutland and
Woodstock road is to increase our bust
ness and population. as all admit. and
give TO our town prominence over all
others, then it would seem that we should
generously lend the required aid, rather
than it should 20 by th2 way Of Head
Vile, and its tenefits forever lost to the

The defeat of the Rutland and Wood

uals, but be a sure and permanent injury
to the town of Rutland and its interests

As a personal acquaintance of the late
Darwin A. Finney, who died in Paris,
while on tour through France for his
health, feel demand upon me to rectify
some mistakes that have appeared in print
as to his birthplace, and relatives now re-
siding in Vermont. Mr.. Finney was
son of Col. Levi Finney, of Shrewsbury,
and spent the early part of his life in his
native town. He was a man of marked
ability, Of commanding appearance, and
possessed large degree of wit and hui

the law, he removed to Pennsylvania
where he became one of the leading lawye rs
of the State, and was afterwards elected
to Congress from that State. He was q

and Mrs. H. H. Barker, of Burlington,
and nephew of Gen. d. w. G. Clark,

THE UNITED STATES AND TURKEY
The president sent message to the
House, Thursday, enclosing letter from
Mr. Seward to Minister Morris, at Con-
stantinople, dated July %, 1868, instruct
ing him to read to the Ottoman minister
for foreign affairs the resolution of Con-
gress declaring sympathy with the suffer
ing people of Crete. Mr.. Morris replied,
in August, that, the minister of foreign
affairs being absent, he read the resolution
t. Ali Pacha, grand vizier, and at his re-
quest left with him a translated copy in
French. The vizier, while apparently
SURPRISED at the character of the resolu-
ton. and the order of Congress for its
communication to the Turkish govern
ment. made no comments whatever. 1t
appears that the Greek chamber of depu-
ties. in Noyember last, passed decree ex-
pressing to the Sennte and House Of Rep
rescntatiyes and the people of the
United States, the most profound SEN
timents Of acknowledgement for their
generous solicitude for the Greek nation.
Our minister, in reply, said the express
ions of interest on the part of the people Of
the United States for the struggling
Christians of Crete, arc but the utter
ances of those who would be faithless to
the principles which made and preserve
them a nation did they refuse to extend
the right hand of fellowship to others,
wherever gathered on the earths surface,
who contend for the inestimable right to
choose their own rulers. The people OF
the United States will consider it Il happy
circumstance for all the people Of eastern
Europe whc the policy adopted towards
them shall be in conformity with that
sentiment which English statesmen have
themselves admitted TO be a political AK
iom. namely That treaties can never
unite populations which are discovered by
.ymptthies. Uutil this principle i recog-
nized, peace may be maintained by eNpe-
dents. hut can never be secured In ex-
dressing such sentiments. Mr. Morris in
