TEE INVESTIGATION.

The advocate of dependent journalism
still insists that il was the duty of all the
papers in Vermont to express an opinion
favorable to the accused in the late inves-
tigation without waiting to hear the tcsti-
mony. Waiting to hear the evidence be-
fore expressing an opinion while the in
vestigation is in progress it calls 'sitting
on the fence" Then Judge does not sit
on abeneh. Fence" is the proper name
fcf his seat. Jures too, sit on fences, for
they wait to hear the evidence before de-
Gliding
If the editor of the dependent journal has
read the testimony there is nothing in his
paper to show the fact. The official evil
dence has been published in full The brief
dispatches that have been received here by
both papers put together, have not been
sufficient to convey clear light. We have
not room for the full text, but proceed to
review and summarize the case, the conduct
of the trial, and the evidence.
November @, 1872, Senator Reynolds, of
Grand Isle County, offered series of reso-
iutions which were unanimously passed,
setting forth that grave charges had been
publicly made that money had been used
to influence legislation and subvert justice
in this State, which charges seemed to in
yolve the trustees and managers of the
Vermont Central and Vermont and Canada
and leased lines of railroad, as well as sew

1t has been editorlally asserted that our
st. Alblns reporter testified before the
committee ''thai his dispatches were untrue,
and, in effect, designed 10 misrcpresent."
There is no foundation for this reckless
misstalemcnt. The point upon which he
was brought before the committee was in
relation to certain figures in the Boston
IraoelLr. In some half dozen items OF
the legal expense account occurred the sum
of o4090. and in other items the sum Ss3l
so. These appeared in the 1ugclleE as
$siDS) and s34S0 respectively. The re-
porter cleared himself by proving by the
st. Adams telegraph operator that the
figures were brought to him in the right
form. and that their arrangement must
have been subsequently changed by the
Boston operator or by n compOsitor in the
7twgeliey Office. The ialsity of the asscr-
ton that our reporter confessed THAT his
dispatches were untrue, and, in effect, de
signed to misrcprcsent," is thus apparent
We take this up because we do not think
any body should be misrcprcsentcd. SO
far us our reporter stated facts we mean to
sustain him. as we mean to sustain any re-
porter of public affairs under any circum-
stances who states facts unvarnshcd facts
Our reporter put on some varnish, which
we deprecatc and regret but it docs not
follow that he should therefore be accused
of admitting that he dcsigncdly msrcpre-
scented, when he has made no such admis-
sion.

A sRiRMIslI REPORTED.


The intelligence of the illness of Hon.
Cakes Ames created a profound sensation
in Boston business circles. The Boston
journal gives the following particulars;
Mr.. Amcs was in Boston on Tuesday of
last week, and while standing at desk in
the office in Sears building, he was seized
with eXcrucating pain in the stomach.
which he attributed to Indigestion. He
was in town the next day, Wednesday.
when he reclincd several hours upon a
sofa, complaining of sharp pains in his left
side. On Thursday Mr.. Oliver Ames came
to the city, and dispatched DIR. Edward
Clark TO North Easton TO attend his broth
or, whose condition had become such as to
excite serious alarm. Dr. Clark pronounced
the difficulty inflammation of the diaph-
ragm, attended with pleurisy.
MIR. Ames continued to suffer extremely.
and on Monday evening at about five
O'Clock, while in bed, was rendered inscn-
sible by shock of paralysis, which pros
tratcd the left side and rendered him nearly
spcechless. He remained in this condition
throughout the night and next morning
was in very critical condition. The con-
stitutlon and age of the sufferer, who com
pleted his sixty-ninth year on the 10th of
January last, added to the nature of his
illness, would seem to preclude all chance
OF his recovery.
