As soon as the Senate ad journs the

The President recalls number of
his nominations, every day, owing to mis-
takes and occasionally to influences
brought to bear upon him by friends of
the defeated candidates. In some in
stances members of the House have Sc
cured nominations, and Senators have pre-
vailed upon the President to change. In.
few cases Sen ators have undertaken to
appoint certain postmasters without con-
sultation with the Representatives, and
whore manifest injustice was done, the
President has promptly recalled the
wrong. He says freely in regard to all
his nominees that if they don't perform
the duties of their offices well, he shall
supersede them without hesitation and
there can be no doubt that he means it.
Tho Senate was at work all of Fri
day afternoon upon the combinations.
Mr.. Cameron made some opposition to
Gov. Curtin to Russia, but the yeas and
nays were not called. There was a lively
opposition to Gen. Parker from the Indian
ring, but it was unavailing. The vote
stood 80 to IL. Senator Brownlow made
big fight on the pension agent for Ten
nessee, who was Fowler's candidate, and
the Senate rejected him after stirring
debate, without the yeas and nays. The
great fight was over Senator Pomeroy'sl

cursed u this same Rensselaer,
md SaratoG Railroed was We were
toldeto bews Of it insidions advances
because it wss d foreign corporataon-
Havs we NOT heard for the last three
yeara, in the press Of the State, from the
.platscsna, and in the halls of legislation,
what.a monster was this Rensselaer, and
Saratoga Railroad, and that foreign COR
porations were reaching into our State to
take out the very life OF bust
ness, depressing the business men, and
we should surely go to ruin unless they
were driven from our borders, and special
legislation has been sought to protect the
people from their encroachments. Now we
are very gravely asked by the opponents
of the Chittenden route to look at the
fact that this foreign corporation is COM
ing to their aid, and we must, forsooth,
consider their friendship to the Healdville
route as an argument in its favor, aud
this monster, which they have held up be-
fore our eyes in such mortal terror, is
after all an advantage to our State, and
the roaring lion has all at once changed
to the gentle lamb. We have never had
such great fear of foreign corporations,
nor of the Rensselaer, and Saratoga rail-
road, as cur opponents, and have never
believed that any railroad line would or
could be built in Vermont without the
aid of foreign capital, either from Boston,
New York or New Hampshire.
1t is not pleasant in any sense to have
division of opinion in the community
upon great leading enterprises, but we
believe our people have honest differences
on this question. We look upon it from a
Rutland stand point, and the influence it
is to have directly on our prosperity.
Others look at it from another stand point
and argue as persistently that Rutland
will receive just as much benefit if the
road is built around Rutland, and comes
from another point, where it shall have its
terminus. But being unable as citizen
of Rutland, having its growth and pros
perity in view, to see it in that light. We
are compelled candidly and honestly, to
differ from some of our friends and neigh
bors on this question, and have presented
our views frankly.
This is question that should be fully
discussed, and the time has come when it
should be made fair issue, and the ques-
ton decided either in favor or against the
interests of the town. We shall abide by
the voice of the majority, and look with
interest at the result upon the business of
the town-for the progress or decline of
the town will come from the moment CT
the final decision of this question. Rut-
land ought to ascertain if the Chittenden
route can be built, and if it cannot then
another question will arise, but this should
be determined first, and we shall stand by
the interest of Rutland as town first,
and shall not endeavor to paralyze its
business or growth until the question is
fully settled that Rutland cannot have a
railroad across the mountain terminating
in Rutland.

Gulch mining has from time to time been

late research for the vein from which the
metal was conveyed to the streams and

side Of the Appalachian cham, has some
time since yielded from their quartz ores
from $500 to $3.50 per ton, and on the
Vermont side, at Bridgcwater, the value
of the ores will of course depend on the
extent of the deposits.

faithfully to his duties as Grand Commits

He has formed two new. lodges, rein
stated four defunct lodges, instituted
three Rebekah degree lodges, and by re-
quest has left petitions for the reinstate-
ment of eight defunct lodges which are
receiving the requisite number of sigma
lures for presentation to the Grand Mas
ter of this State.
Grand Commissioner Dennis has Wis
tied most of our lodges three to five
times each, for the purpose of giving in-
struction in the work of the order, and we
are happy to learn from him that be
leaves our State with the satisfactory az
surance that he has been instrumental in
reviying the order on an intelligent and
permanent basis. Father Dennis wishes
us to express his thanks for the cordial
and fraternal hospitality which he has re-
ceiyed from the brothers of the order in
Vermont.
