into Montpelier, who distributed one
thousand dollars, portion of it for 're-
tainer fees the remainder for aboard
and sundry expenses, during one session
of the legislature, 1869. When the
agent gave account of the money, he
noted in his memorandum Expenses at
Montpelier session of 1869, in resisting
adverse legislation and in opposing APP
plication for parallel road from Burling-
ton to Canada line &C. Whether this
$1,000 resisted adverse, or promoted. ia
vorable legislation, we leave it for the
people to say. We learn further that
1.-The trustees and other officials of the
road did procure charters" for car CON-
panies, and have reason to believe that
much money was made by letting the
cars to the Vermont Central and other
railroads. We learn that some of the
managers owned an interest in the fac
tory at st. Adams, and that the road
bought car wheels of this company. AT
ter a while the Smiths sold the foundry,
but were to have a royalty on the wheels,
which amounted to $135, 900 in short
time. One of the roads which the chief
manager of the Vermont Central road
leased for himself and associates, earned
them $45O,OOO. Another road paid one
half of its net earnings to J. G. Smith
and Joseph Clark. How much was
made on this road could not be ascer-
tanned. as the books were in Canada and
the committee could not obtain them.
In justice to the managers Of the road,
it ought to be said, that the public has
been tolerably well served at their
hands. Large sums of money HAYS been
expended in improving and stocking the
roads, and the committee find them
guilty of no populations. eve sup
pose this means small stealings.)
To sum the whole matter up, it seems
that while the managers of the Vermont
Central were able to get control of one
of the great transportation lines leading
into and ramifying New England, they
| failed to make the undertaking profitable
to the owners of the main line itself
| but they were successful in all their side
issues. While the stock had become
worthless, the bonds had greatly depre.
ciated in value and enormous debts huns
over the company, the managers wer'
growing rich from the profits of thei
factories, their foundrles, their leaset
and their private roads. To use {
homely comparison, the great show, tn
menagerie of railroads was CONSTANT,
running its owners in debt, while tn
ringmasters were growing rich fror
their salaries and the profits of their sid
shows. We had been led to believe, an
certainly hoped that full investigation
would show that the managers had bee
guilty of no malfeasance in the manage
ment of the affairs of this road, but
the findings of the committee are correc

Immense grosshoppers have appeared
in northwestern Iowa, destroying wheat,
grass and all vegetation in use. The
farmers are discouraged, as everything
in the shape of crops is disappearing as
if by magic. and their prospects for a
remunerative year they consider already
blasted. Whether, the voracious pests
have sprung from the ground or come
from the Western plains has not been
determined, but their appearance in such
numbers and so early in the season is
considered unusual and surprising. The
district visited by this living scourge is
located in northwestern Iowa, and, judg-
ing from the accounts thus far received,
it will be swept of its vegetation as if a
terrible confagration had passed over it.
