HoPE DaFERRED MAKETH THE
HEART SICK.

Since January II 1867, we have la
bored faithfully and to the best Of our
ability 10 help establish through route
from New York north, by the way Of
Chatham. Bennington, and Manchester,
and have always believed it for the IN
forests Of the towns along the line to
favor this route. We still believe that
with proper connections ut Rutland
and Chatham, this line would soon be-
come the fayolitc one with the north
and south travel particularly that
known as summer travel. But to sup
pose that through passengers will take
this route north, when others offer SO
much greater inducements in the way
Of palace cars, quick trains, and close
connections, is simply foolish.
The present managers Of the Harlem
Extension line may have good reasons
for the course they are pursuing, but #
the prosperity 81 the road aud the in
terests Of those doing business on the
line is what they seek, all we can say
is, we cannot sec it in that light
We are now informed that one mail
train day from New York, taking nine
and three-ioufth hours for distance Of
two hundred aud eight miles, is the
best that we can have on this end OF
the line. Our reply TO this Is land tc
which we respectfully call the atten.

Harlem Extension Bailroad-if you

MINISTER SCHENCK AND HIS MINING SPECU-
LATIoNs.-1t is said by gentlemen recently from
Utah that Minister Schenck's connection with
the Emma Mining Company as one of the direc-
tors, is Of recent occurrence. That mine was
IN liquidation up to last summer, when a COM
promise was effected by Senator Stewart, of
Nevada, who was the attorney for Mr.. Lyons,
the claimant, by which Lyons became the owner
OF one-third of the property. The company
since this compromise has been reOrganized,
and the mine which was then valued at 81 500 OOn
was afterwards estimated by its owners to be
worth 50 zoo 900; stock to this amount was issued
accordingly. The mine is about twenty-eight
eniles from Salt Lake City, and is conceded to
be the most valuable silver mine in Utah.
Senator Stewart is now, or was recently. in Lon
don on business connected with the mine. There
is nothing in diplomatic rules or customs that
forbids the ownership OF shares In gold mine by
a Minister Plenipotentiary from this country,
nor that prohibits him from embarking in com
mercial pursuits.

ANOTHER ADvoC ATE oFTHE PASSIVE Policy.
Hon. Montgomery Blair has been interviewed
He says let the democratic party as an orgsniza-
ton stand back, and the field be kept clear TO
the disaffected and independent republicans: let
the radicals call their convention and nominate
Grant, and let the independent republicans bolt
and nominate whoever they please, and then
the democrats rally to his support He saws
some sacrifice must be made to defeat Grant,
and expresses personal preference for William
Cullen Bryant, although he thinks that Tram
bun would make splendid candidate, as would
also Judge Davis, Judge Ranney, ex-Secretary
Cox OF Gratz Brown. In spite of his tariff pro-
cliyities he would support Mr.. Greeley He does
not think there Is any scarcity of material, and
that the only difficulty to be apprchended is in
the Hunkerism and Bourbonism of the democ-
racy.
