we deeply Indebted to the Repabascans of
the State. We enjoy in common with
almost all our sister counties the Radical
party which has, just now, such split
in it as whiskey can not fill or heal, Two

sentative hence to the State Legialasares

Vermont and Canada and Vermont
Central Railroad meeting--State-
ment OF the Affairs of the Cor
porauOns Oy the Trustees and
WanagerS--Large Attendance.

\ meeting of the stockholders of the
Vermont and Canada Railroad, the
bOndhOlders of the first and second mort
cages and the holders of other securities
of the Vermont Central railroads washeld
at Horticultural Hall in Boston, this Wed
neSday forenoon, to hear the report of the
trustees and managers, and to take such
action in reference to the preset liabilit-
les Of the trust as might be deemed most
advisable. A very large number of per-
SONS weae present. The meeting was
called to order by ex-GOv. J. Gregory
Smith of Vermont, who stated the OBJ
ject Of the meeting, and Gen. J. S.
Whitney of Brookline was chosen chair
man. After several gentlemen had de-
clined a nomination for Secretary, Mr..
Charles E. Billings of Newton accepted
the position.
The call was then read and Governor
Smith was introduced. He said that the
extraordinary charges made against the
trustees and managers in public prints
had ncccssitated the holding of the pres
cnt meeting so that the managers might
lay before those most interested a full
statement of the affairs Of the roads, and
he hoped he would have the attention OF
those in attendance while he read the
statement, WEIGH was of necessity some
what lengthy. Gov. Smith then com
mcnCcd the reading of the report OF
which the following is an abstract
TIE REPORT OF TRUSTEES AND MANA
GERS.
The report in the first place states
that a rccitations of facts concerning
their administration will alone be relied
upon to rcfutc charges of corruption
preferred against them, and then express
cs regret that charges against til" road
should be made by a public journal pro
Tossing rcSpcctability until the journal
was assured that they could be sustained,
especially as the charges affected not
only the individuals comprising the
management, but the securities held by
innocent parties The report then re
views the history of the road from the
date Of the connection of a portion OF
the present mana cement with it, alludin@
to the LITIGATION brought about by tho
first and second mortgage bondholders
and TO the settlement thereof. HarmO-
ny developed the prosperity of tn" road,
and prosperity required an increase of
facilities and of expenditure. To meet
the LATTER long and funded loans were
made under the authority Of the court,
and these loans now constitute the trust
liabilities Of the management and are a
first charge upon all the property in the
hands of the managers. Still increasing
business required, in 1865, an equipment
loan on ten years time. In 1867 there
was an increase Of capital stock of the
