JAY GoULD.-Jay Gould on Wednes-
day appeared before the Senate railway
committee at Albany, in reply to Mr..
Burt's the English solicitor's) recent ar
gument for the repeal of the Erie direct
ors classification law. He claimed Burt's
real clients were two men ini London,
who really owned but few shares of
stock, though they controlled a large
amount of il. He detailed an interview
with Burt, at which the latter expressed
his approval Of the principle of classified
ton, and told Gould that he and Fisk
were the ablest railroad managers in the
world, and said be should insist on nomi-
mating IL of the IL directors, and limited
his own appointment as treasurer. Mr..
Gould defended the classification law and
the Erie management at great length,

WOODS CHARGES AGAINST GEN.
HowARD.-It seems odd to see Fernando
Wood accusing Gen. Howard of corrup-
ton, mis- application of public funds that
have been placed in his hands, etc. The
charges would be much more likely to be
believed if accuser and accused were to
change places. Gen. Howard may have
made mistakes in the management of his
bureau; it is quite likely that he has
but it will take more than the word OF
"Far-, andy Wud" to make the American
people believe that Gen. Howard has been
Intentionally dishonest. A great many
persons have not been entirely satisfied
with his management, but Wood has
greatly weakened the case against him by
trying to prove too much.

a oIassmate of our townsman, John N
Baxter, ESD, and of Hon, Frederick f.
Woodbridge and Hon. Torrey e. Wales

when he was appointed assignee OF the
Western Vermont Railroad Company

time without intermission.
He leaves, surviving him, widow, the
daughter of the late Hon. Myron Clark
of Manchester, and two children son,
Henry c., who graduated at Williams
College last August, and daughter, the
wife of Henry W. Cheney.
The immediate cause of his death is
supposed to be disease of the heart.

The "wIid5, gnVesIsaens
or THE TWO MERCHANTS.


Can you loln me two thousand dollar
to establish myself in a small retsiI bnsi-
ness p inquired a young man not quite
out of his teens, of a middie-aged gen
tleman who was pouring over a pile Of
ledgers in the counting room Of one Of
the largest establishments in Boston.
The person addressed turned towards
the speaker, and regarded him for mo-
ment with lock Of surprise, and IN
quired
what security can you give me, Mr.
Strosser
Nothing but my note replied the
young man, promptly.
(which l fear would be below par in
the Market replied the merchant, smil
ing.
perhaps so,' the young man replied,
but, Mr.. Barton, remember that the
boy is not the man the time may come
when Hiram Strosser's note may be as
readily accepted as that of any other
man.
True, very true said Barton, mildly,
but you know business men seldom loan
money without adequate security
otherwise they might soon be reduced to
penury.'
At this remark, the young mans coun.
tenance became deadly pale, and having
observed a silence of several minutes, be
| inquired in a voice whose tones indicated
keen disappointment.
Then YOU cannot accommodate me,
can you p
Call upon me tomorrow. and l will
give you reply said Mr.. Barton and
the young man retired.
Mr.. Barton resumed his labors at the
desk, but his mind was SO much upon the
boy and his singular errand, that he could
not pursue his task with any correctness
and after having made several sad
blunders, he closed his ledger, took his hat
and went out upon the street. Arriving
opposite the door of wealthy merchant
in Milk street, he entered the door.
Good morning. replied the merchant
blandly-'happy 10 see you-have a seat,
ANY news? How's trade 2
Without noticing these interrogations,
Barton said:
| young Strosser is DESTROYS of establish
ing himself in a small retail business in
Washington street, and called this morn
ing to secure of me the loan of two thou
sand dollars for that purpose
Indeed ? exclaimed Hawley, evidently
surprised at this announcement; but you
do not think of loaning that amount, do
you "
Il do not know replied Barton, 'Stros-
ser is a young man of business talent and
strict integrity, and will be likely TO sue
coed in whatever he undertakes
Perhaps So replied Hawley, doubt
fully but / am heartily tired OF helping
to establish these young asPirants for
commercial honors.'
Have you ever suffered any from such
a courser' inquired Barton at the same
time casting roguish glance at Hawley.
No. replied Hawley, 'for / never felt
inclined to make an investment of that
kind
Then there is fine opportunity to do
so. 1t may prove better than the stock in
the bank. As for myself, l have concluded
that if you will advance one thousand
i dollars, will contribute an equal sum
Not single farthing would L advance
for such purpose; and if You make an
investment of that kind, l should consider
you very foolish
Barton observed silence for several
moments, and then rose TO depart.
= If you DO not feel disposed to share
with me in the enterprise, shall advance
the whole myself Saying which he LEFT
the store.

A MONTANA EXECUITON.---A cores
pondent of the Rochester Chronicle thus
describes the quiet manner in which the
vigilance committee works in Montana !:
"One Sunday night in the year 1869
Crescent Hall, was, as usual, crowded to
its utmost capacity with miners, gamblers
and roughs Of every grade. When the
play was at its most interesting scene,
four large men masked and armed en-
tered the hall, marched down the aisle to
the parquette, and threw blanket over
the head of large, fine, well dressed
man. He was bound Immediately with
strong cords, and in moments time he
was spirited out of the hall. Not word
was said, no resistance or interference
was offered, not a word was spoken by
those in masks but like mystery they
disappeared as coolly as they had en-
tered Soon the curtain raises, and as
the scenes more and more interest, the
audience forget the mysterious strangers
in mask, but have terrible desire to
know who they are. After midnight the
show is closed, the crowd seek Their
homes, making many crooked paths to
their cabins quiet reigns for few hours
over the wicked city. Monday morning
clear and beautiful. The city is excited !;
man is found hanging by the neck,
stark dead, on an old chang tree" in Dry
gulch. Thousands rush to see the vic
tenn. He is the man who was spirited
out of the theatre last night. A card on
his back says: Another highwayman has
merited his reward, and was hung by the
vigilance committee"
