THE VERMONT CENTRAL LITIGATION

ayers of the Vermont Central and Vermont
and Canada railroad, for the payment of
Sl2, 200 rent due last December also their
petition for the summary removal of The
managers, and the petition of the first
mortgage bondholders for the removal of
the managers was secured last week at st.
Adams. The proceedings terminated Fri
day by the withdrawal of all the petitions,
the Court ruling that the charges made
against the trustees were matter of ac-
counting. 1t was ordered that the manag
ers file their accounts in court forthwith,
when the Vermont and Canada will have
the right to object TO any item and bring
the matter properly before the court, and
upon proof Of fraud or improper account
ing, simple motion will be enough to
have the managers removed. The presi-
dent of the Vermont and Canada railroad
thereupon made short speech in reply to
the ruling, rejecting somewhat upon the
court and stating that an accounting was
not what they wanted. Whereupon the
court withdrew the order for the managers
to. file accounts. This makes it apparent
that the Vermont and Canada railroad off,
GERS are satisfied that the accounts of the
managers are all right, and that they would
not find anything objectionable to them,
and shows that they only meant to carry
their point and Gust the trustees by the
newspaper clamor they have raised agains.
them. The accounts having all been regu-
larly audited and approved by commit
tee elected annually by the bondholders
themselves for that purpose, they are stop
ped from any further procedure at present.
All tho testimony introduced by the petit
TONERS failed entirely to sustain any of the
charges made against the trustees and man.

hope that am not asking too lrucli in ap,

the truth in this cause.
The charge OF COL Withers, us stated, is so
vague end indefinite that can find nothing 10

nv motives as announced by me from time to
time.
There has been no room at any time Tor doubt
as to my motives and wishes in regard TO our
politics. When they were first announced in
the spring Of 1865 | stated expressly that |
could see no other way by which the Southern
people could reirstate themselves 10 proper
sympathy and relations with the general gov
erument aud thus save themselves greater
losses and humiliation. There commenced
and ended all Of my reasons and motives III
connection with this nlatter, aud my letters
have SO plainly expressed my views that no one
can misconstrut them except they do so through
malice.
Ii Colonel Withcrs knows the record, and he
virtually claims to know it when he makes
grave dllpSillOIlS d. ilCIS vi lhSi, hI hbS"
when he made his charge that 1t was not true.
If he made them in ignorance Or reckless dis
regard of facts be is equally culpablc.
In order, however, TO place the matter be,
yond question or doubt | propose that Colonel
Withers give the names of the parties to this
transaction and the time and place Of lis occur
renee, 80 as to give me something tangible. |
think that | can safely promise hun, as soon as
he puts bis charge ir such shape as to enable
me to take hold of it, that | will prove to the
world that there is not word of truth in bis
allegations against ME, dor even reason Tor
them except in malice.

The Baltimore American (Republican) says
1--WE fear that some of the Virginia Republi.
cans are incorrigible. We should not like to
estimate the amount out of which the Govern
ment was defrauded during the campaign Of
last year by the transportation under the frank
of Mr. j. II. Patt, NJ. c., of some hundreds
of tons of cectioneering documents through the
mails. The franking privilege has been abol-
ished by Congress, which soothed its lacerated
feelings by the back-pay grab; but the official
postage stamps remain, and the Richmond
Dispatch is willing to make It's affidavit that
they are being used by Colonel Hughes official
friends in the Virginia campaign. That same
excellent newspaper reports that special
agent of the Postofice Department is iDquiring
into this misuse of the Government property.
But he is not likely to make any startling dis
coveries until after the election is over, when,
of course there will be the usual profusion Of
regrets, apologies, Sc.

THE NEW YORK HERALD ON GEN. GRANT.
The New York Herald has, considering its pre-
vious course since Gen. Grant became Presl-
dent, (for it has been not only friendly, but eu-
logistic towards the Presdent,) rather curious
political article. 1t expresses the opinion that
General Grant is not superior to his times;
that the times have tainted him as they have
''tainted others; that there is a lowness of tone
(which pervades his administration; that the
spurple has brought this Cesar indifference, H.
''dolence and sloth; that we see 10 the support
GERS of his administration the love of wealth
land Office deadDing of the moral sense, and
"a yearning, for money and display &C., &c.
In this strain the Herald goes on for two col
umns. AS for the Cabinet, the Herald says:
s'In the Cabinet what do we see? Ordinary
gentlemen, whose minds, distilled to their resld-
uum, would not yield an ounce Of the genius
of Jeffersonsor Quincy Adams. With one ex-
ccption they we're never heard Of before Gen.
Grant called them 10 his council, and without
exception, will scarcely be heard of again-a
Cabinet without fertility or expression, and
which sinks lower and lower IN the esteem OF
the country" 1t winds up this remarkable
article with the assertion that the people have
but little to hope for, and but little to say
''when office briggs wealth; when fortunes
enough for seaside display are amassed at the
very side of the President; when men may take
the brides of railway contractors and receive
honors from Grant, amid the universal con-
demuation of the people" The public will
wonder at this change in the bearing Of jour
nal from which certainly such remarks were
