BENNINGTON, May Is.
Editor Rutland Herald Il have seen
in your columns several articles headed
"Gadding Machine" which seems to
have "stii red up discussion in several
parts of the county, and you may con-
slider yourselves fortunate if the excite
ment does not spread to your own quiet.
loving community. In fact you are for
tunate in having your home away up in
Rutland County, ss one individual ex-
pressed, for nothing else has saved you
from a visit by a committee appointed at
an inclination meeting held by the lcdies
of this place.
The immediate cause of the indigna-
ton meeting, referred to, was an opinion
publicly exprc scd by a gentlemen in this
community, which was fully concurred
in by large number of his male friends.
The gentleman stated, that he believed
the paragraph in your paper, which reed
az follows: "Gadiug-machines, said
to be time, money and labor saving,
are in use in several quarries here. The
mechanism is ingenious and durable" YVES
all ''bosh." He had an extensive acquaint-
ance of more than forty years, and all
the "gadding' he had seen was costly in
time, money and labor, and if his state
ment was not believed, it could be easily
proved by glance at the women in the
neighborhood. He admitted the fixing"
might be ingenious, but would soon 60
out of fcahion. The word quarries, be
supposed to mean quarrels.
The ladies having seen the article in
your paper, and heard the expression of
the slanderous opinion of the gentleman
named, at once assembled and unani.
voted the Rutland HERALD to be !
"no gentleman" for applying the epithet
"Gadding-machines" to ladies.
Furthermore, they were glad to notice
that they were not the only ones who
were indignant at such treatment the
Sullivan Machine Company of New
q hampshire, having already called the
editor to account, for gross errors in the
article in question, and although they did
not exactly understand he case of the

titled to the is sympathies, and as for the
men who had so bemeaned themselves by
for an instant such base
views of the better half of creation, they
should be informed they were beneath
he netice due to brutes, and finally voted
o treat the whole eff4ir with silent con-
tempt "VIDEx."

The Erie Railway Sold,

NEW 1ORk, May 10.
The Sun gays again this morning it i.
row generally believed that the contract
between Gould aud Fix aud Commodore
Vanderbilt for the transfer and control a
| the Erie rad has been definitely con-
cluded. Both parties to this transaction
have made and are still making every
effort Ia keep it secret, hut IFS rxtraordin-
airy nature and magnitude make further

party that the present management has

nation of spectators and legal sharks
which have go long preyed upon this un-
fortunate corporation.
Gould, it appears, would never have
abandoned the idea of running the Erie
in competition with the other trunk line
but for the fact that his health has been
80 seriously affected by the inceesant
labors of the past two years that his ply
sicians have united in insisting upon bis
resting himself from all business anxieties
for awhile. The disastrous diminuition
of the receipts of the road, occasioned by
the existing coal strike, added largely to
the embarrassment under which the cor.
poratioa is lsboring.
Mr.. Scott of Pennsylvania Central and
Mr.. Joy of Michigan Central, and others,
are reported to have made liberal offers
for the control of Erie, but Vanderbilt
finally succeeded in efecting an arrange
ment, by virtue of which Erie will be re.
organized and incorporated with the lines
already under his iron rule. It is con-
fidently predicted, by parties who are
supposed to have good opportunities of
finding out, that as soon as the new ar
is officially announce there
will be large increase of Central stocks,
which may have the effect of placing Erie
on par.

THE RUTLAND HERALD
The Treaty Investigation.

The Committee, appointed to investi'
gate the matter Of the premature puoiica'
ton of the treaty, had meeting on Mon
iay night at the capitol, and number OF
officers of the Senate and newspaper men
were examined. The Committee seemed
70 have some suspicion of John n. Flagg,
Executive Clerk Of the Senate! for the
newspaper men we're asked the direct
question whether Mr.. Flsgg was at the
newspaper offices on the night preceding
the day Of the publication of the treaty
In the New York Tribune. Mr.. White.
the correspondent of the Tribune, most
fully and unqualiRedly exhonerated Mr..
Flagg's implication in the matter, and all
testimony showed that he had never seen
the treaty in any form, and it was also
shown that the copy which was tele.
graphed was not Senate copy, and was
not obtained from any officer or attache
of the Senate, but that it was State de-
partment copy. Mr.. Sumner, member
OF the Committee, mentioned incidentally
that forty copies had been printed and
circulated from the State Department.
When it was shown that the copy had
not come from a Senate employe, Mr..
Trumbull intimated that it was not ex-
actly the province Of the Committee to
investigate further.
Mr.. White declined to tell from whom
he obtained the treaty, or even to say who
was in his Office on the night he obtained
II. or whether he had actually purchased
1t, or how much he had paid for it. Mr..
Ramsdell, who is associated with Mr..
White, and who also telegraphed the
treaty to the Cincinnati Commercial, de-
clined to answer any questions also. The
committee, after consultation, decided
that the questions should be answered,
and notified Messrs. White and Ramsdell
that they would report them to the Senate,
ard have them brought to the bar tor
contempt. Senators Carpenter and Conk.
ling were the principals in conducting
the investigation, and seemed to be most
anxious to get all the facts. Other wit.
nesses will be examined tomorrow. Mr..
Bancroft Davis, Assistant Secretary Of
State, was summoned, but failed to ap'
pear. He wrote note to the committee,
stating that he was sure the copy did not
come from the State Department.
