think best suited to their purpose. There
could not be better instance than the pre-
sent Central Vermont, which has nomi.
nally thirteen directors, but which Is really
run by an executive committee of four, one
of whom Is Mr.. s. l.. NJ. Barlow, dlrec-
tor of Erie, who bears about the same re-
lation to Erie, and n. Y. Legislature that
Mr. 10. ID. Hatch Is said to do to the Cen
trail and the Vermont legislature. Another
Is director In Erie, q third Mr.. Trenor W.
Park, and the remainingJ. Gregory Smith,
and these directors and executive CON-
mlttce can be changedsby the stockholders
and the roads pass from the hands of one
set of men TO another without any notice
or action Of the court. In other words the
court in its judicial capacity sanctions be-
fore hand the appointment, as its servants,
of such persons as the constantly changing
holders of the stock may designate.
Many people do not agree with Vermont
that the order making the Central Vermont
a receiver was an appropriate one. They do
not believe the ruling was corrupt but they
/ do believe it was erroneous and in direct
| violation of the spirit OF the act which was
passed for the express purpose of terminal
ing the receivership They believe that it
may turn this valuable property over to a
set of schcmers and spectators, and that
too with the sanction of the court in man.
ner above set forth
lie further says: "The Court found that
the legislature had created this corporation
and nominated it for appointment by the
Court to the recciyership of this trust cs-
tate, with view to its ultimate removal
from the custody Of a court harassed and
villifed of necessity, and from the very ma
turc of things, by its administration.
Another point raised at the hearing, and
also strongly urged, was that this corpora
ton should take the roads in its corporate
capacity as it had a right to do-'an
amount sufficient TO retire a majority of
the first mortgage bonds having been sub
scribed"-and as we think the court should
have directed it to do instead of taking
them as receiver. No one could have
raised an objection to that course, and the
courts would have been relieved of the bur
den. But it was urged that it could not dc
it at that point of its organization, the
books not having been opened by the di
rcctors. Then we answer-IIow could i
in its corporate capacity assume and hole
the contract for the use of the New LondoI
Northern, take lease of the Montreal anC
Vermont Junction and an assignment o
the lease of the Sullivan-three roads tina
have paid large profits to their lessees
while the trust roads have lost heavily
, And yet this has been done and its hooks
not opened for subscriptions, and it is nov
} rumored that arrangements have beer
made by which the Portland and Ogdens
burgh railroad will pass under the contro
of the Central Vermont in its corporate
capacity Had that course been taken w

ability and abundantly qualified for the po-
sitlon he occupies is, also, conceded. The
most that Is claimed Is an error of judg.
ment, to which oil men are liable We
have doubted-we did, upon the re-
ceipt of the communication signed "ver.
mont" somewhat the propriety of discuss
ing matters, which ore before the courts
for adjudication, or the right and wrong of
judicial decisions. In this case, however,
1t seemed to us that discussion confined
to proper limits could do no harm. but
might, on the contrary, be productive of
much good. The public mind las been,
for some time, deeply agitated in reference
to these subjects, and the litigation arising
therefrom, and anything which can throw
light thereon, or aid the community in com
ing to correct conclusions, ought to be
given to the public. While we do not en-
tircly agree with the sentiments of the
communication, we can but commend its
general temperate and candid spirit, and Its
avoidance, In the main, of matters not con-
nected with the subject under considera-
ton. The views of thetwo writers-'Ver-
mont" and "Anti-Monopoly"-ar from diff
ferent stand points, but they are each evil

One word more: We would that "Anti.

u,'TaAND,S VANDALISM.

Some two years or more ago, little
child died in this town. The loving pa
rents laid their darling away in its last
earthly resting place, having for their CON
ISOLATION the action of their blessed Master,
who took little child in His arms and
taught the people, that they suffer little
children to come unto them and forbid
them not, for of such were the Kingdom of
Heaven To mark the last resting place of
one 50 fondly loved and so early lost,
marble slab was erected, surmountcd by n
lamb typical alike of the innocence of the
sleeping child and its hopes for better re-
surecton. through the merits and suiferings
Of the Lamb of God. 1t was not, however,
10 be permitted to remain. We hesitate, we
shrink from finishing the story. We were
born in Rutland. Rutland is our home.
and the home of Our fathers. Here the
ashes of all that are near and dear to us,
whose souls have passed hence, are min
glcd with the dust. The name and fame
of Rutland is dear to us, but the truth
forces itself upon our convictions, that that
II lme and fame will become worthless, I'M
less the deeds of those who disgrace it are
exposed to public view. and some means
taken to remedy the evil We have in our
possession brought to us by the parent
the head of that emblematic lamb, placed
upon the simple, but most expressive,
monument erected to that dear childs
IN. l,p ,le
in the shape of human beings, amused
themselves, by mutilating that grave, and
destroying that beautiful symbol. Such
men or boys-or fiends in such shape-eX-
ist in our midst, and no steps are taken to
bring them to justice.
1t can scarcely be credited that such
fiends exist, yet we have the evidence be-
fore us. We talk about the excuses of the
Modocs and the vendattas at the south, yet
we have here in New England, in the heart
of Vermont, men and boys, who, from
pure wantonness, will dcsecratc grave
and malicously destroy the mementoes
erected by parents to the memory of their
lost children. We have men who will
openly and profanely insult ministers of
the gospel. and newspapers that will en-
lcavor to whitcwash the affair. We
have men, members of churches, who, for
the purpose of saving themselves from
bankruptcy and in the hopes of injuring a
competing business, will not hesitate to
attack private character through anony-
nous letters. All this, be it understood, is
done in Rutland, and yet we pirate about
the wckedness of the savages and the need
of missionaries to the heather Let us
look athome, and let reform and purifca-
ton, like charity, begin at home. Out
upon all such men. Let the perpetrators
of these outrages be sought out and pun
shed as they most justly deserve. When
we haye accomplished this, then with a
clear conscience, pure heart, and clear
hands, we can attack the misdoings of resi-
dents of other states and countries. We
have said more than we intended, but the
sight of the gricf-stricken countenance of
Daniel Cronan, and the battered and mutt
lated memorial of his child, seemed to call
for something more than the mere adver-
tscment, which appears elsewhere.

RUTLAND, August 81, 1873.

RUTLAND, August 81, 1878.
Editor Rutland Globe have read with
much pleasure the article in your issue of
August H. dated at Rutland, and signed
Vermont, upon matters connected with the
present condition of the affairs of the Yer
mont Central and its successor, as well as
what purports to be a part history of re-
markable litigation. The treatment of the
subject isso unusually fair, somarkedly dis
tinguished from many of the former public
discussions and commencing itself to the
thoughtful attention of the average reader,
moreover betraying such an intimate know
ledge of the case and being so correct
resume of an argument recently delivered
before the Chancellor for Franklin county,
that ii would not have caused any surprise
had it been dated at st. Adams and borne
the signature of gentleman who was pres
ent in an official capacity. The article is
to be commended, however, because it
meets criticism with argument and de-
monstration, instead of abuse and recrimn-
alton itcontains no charges of drunkenness
or lunacy on the part of those who have
said what the testimony bears them out in
saying, that the receivers had enriched
themselves at the expense of the railroads,
or that they had spent money in "rcsist-
ing adverse legislation" Even the matters
brought forward by Mr.. Sanborn in the
Republican are treated with argument in
stead of abuse, at least as little as could be
expected under the circumstances.
We have no desire to be volunteer de-
fender of the Springfield Republican. We
do not subscribe to the charges 1t makes,
nor to any direct or indirect aspersicn of
the judiciary of this state, for whom we
have the most profound respect but, did 1t
ever occur to Vermont that the residents of
Massachusetts, who have invested millions
and millions of money in the securities of
the road under orders of the court only to
find them gradually passing from first to
eighth liens, were not lawyers and did not
possess the legal knowledge and means
thereof of himself
1t Ii notorious fact that the sentiment
of Massachusetts, people is in accordance
with the Republican article; they lay their
losses at the door of the court which issued
the orders by which they were induced to
part with their money. This Is wrong 1t
should be laid at the doors of those great

VERMONT COURTS AND YER.
MONT RAILWAYS.

We publish, this morning, Il letter from
Il well known lawyer of this state, under
the signature of "Anti-Monopoly, which
may he taken as an answer, in part, to II
communication, heretofore, published by
US in reference to the courts of Vermont
in their relation to Vermont railroads. We
do not think we violate any confidence
when we state, that the writer of the COM
munication is, and has been for long
time, opposed to the management of the
Vermont Central and Vermont and Canada
railroads and leased lines, as, indeed, the
inference would be iresistably drawn from
a reading Of the article itself. Our views
upon all these subjec are well-known, and
do no, require to be again reiterated, but
We cannot let this occasion pass without
stating our belicf-and we have reason to
think that it is the opinion of every attor
ney, OF either side, connected with the le-
cent railroad hearings-that there il and
has been no wrong doing on the part of
any one or more of our Vermont judges !;
that there has been no attempt to tampcr
with them; no corrupt appliances have
been used or attempted to be used and
that our Judges, one and all, are uncorrupt-
ed and incorruptble, and have decided
these railroad cases, as all others, without
fear or favor. We believe that If any state
in the Union can boast of the purity, in
tegrity, incorruptibility and ability of her
courts, that state is Vermont. Such has
always Ebeen our history, such are our
courts now, and we trust that there never
will be change in this respect. 1t would
be sorry day for Vermont indeed, If it
should ever come, when her courts should
become a by-word of scorn and reproach,
and the names of her judges be banded
around the streets, and through the columns
of the public press, as men who could be
bought and sold. Far better would it be
that we should be without law, courts or
judges at all. Almost equal would be the
anarchy that would be produced If, with
judges of unquestionable integrity, the
people could be made to believe in their
worthlessness. We have no fears that
either day will ever overtake Vermont.
These remarks are not exactly called out
by the communication referred to, as the
integrity of the judge whose acts are ques-
toned, as well as the purity of his mo-
tives, are admitted That he Is a man of

your guests next week"
"Ill take a vote of the family, and abide
by their decision !" responded the host.
"And may put the question before Nell

brother.
"Certainly l only stipulate that the

Forthwith the family was summoned, and
when all were assembled upon the piazza,
Lull Wyman proceeded to give some
what wordy description of the expected
guests, adding that it was quite important
they should be properly entertained.
At this Aunt Chloes eyes dilated omin-
ously, and her "boy," who thought his mis-
tress and his mother quite competent TO
prepare and arrange dinner for all the
sovereigns of the world, manifested his dis
pleasure in an emphatic manner.
At length the question was asked, "Shall
