Eater The Globe: In my rambles of
last week to the summit of the stage road
to Stockbridge, in the town of Mendon,
about nine miles from here, l found
the stakes planted there by the surveying
corps of the two railways pointing towards
Rutland, one passing through the capital
of our state, and the other through the
village of Woodstock. The undertaking
appears feasible, and l believe it will be
built and in operation before the first
century of our American Independence has
passed by. One mile or more, southwardly
from this point, lies large bed of the
finest of marble, as we see it cropping
out along our journey. We passed
several points where some work had been
done in opening the quarries to view, but
at present the work, where several men
are now employed under the direction of
Messrs Stratton, Daggett and Croft, who
have erected commodious and
permanent boarding house on the
grounds, and are energetcally pur-
suing their work, preparing the way for
other wealthy companies who may be at
tractcd to this great bed of inexhausti-
bic wealth that lies deposited here, cover
Ing some sixty acres of ground. They
have commenced at very feasible point
on the eastern slope of hillside, where
the marble pitches down and at an angle
of forty degrees eastwardly, in
large, bold, stratas some seven
ty-fve to eighty feet before it
Peaches the foot of the ledge in the
valley below. This valley extends nearly
the whole length of the marble bed, which
can be opened with less time and expense
than any other quarry of my acquaint-
ancc. From these general indications, ]
firmly believe there lies in this vast bed
millions of tons of monumental and statu.
AIRY marble, the qualities of which are un.
equalcd and not eXcelled by any other
quarrics now opened and worked in Yer
mont.
The formations are regular and the marble
is hard and sound. 1t can be ground &c
an edge without crumbling. The texture
is fine, hard and much of it white, without
colors. 1t will not crumblc or move
over like the marble from some other quar-
ries, which are open and porous in the
rock. 1t admits of a polish equal in lus
tire to good specimens of Italian marble
and the surface rock can all be used in the
manufacture of lime: in a region of Woo
without end Or measure, which can be Sc
cured at this time at nominal price.
1t is the intention of this company
'Nlessrs. Stratton d DaggetI'-to open the
ledge for inspection, that other wealthy
and cntcrprising companies can take uI
lots, and carry on a successful business al
this favorable point.
Rutland county annually Yields its mil
lions of dollars in marble and slate in value
to its industrious inhabitants, and this sun
is bound to increase in the future instead O
diminishing, affording labor and support
for mechanics and artisans here as well a.
elsewhere in this, our land of liberty
wealth and freedom.

The DefaIca,ion a, Albany.

In regard to the defalcation of $780,
900 in the State Treasurer's department at
Albany, special dispatch from that city
says Under an arrangement made by
the comptroller and treasurer, the state de-
posts are divided between five or six
banks. A few days since the state treas
urer discovered that the cashier was maxi
ing larger deposits in one of these banks
than 1t was entitled to, and at once institu-
ted an examination of the accounts, but
without suspecting that any of the funds
of the state had been embezzled, the most
entire confidence being placed in the cash
Ter by every one, and the system of checks
in the comptroller's Office being deemed
an absolute security against fraud. For
years it has been the custom for banks
to send to the comptroller's office dupli-
cate of the treasurer's bank book upon
the first day of each month.
These books passed through the
hands of the general book
keeper, Mr.. George Seeley. The banks
complaining of the labor involved, and
Mr.. Phelps giving assurance that it was en-
tirely unnecessary. Mr.. Seclcy dropped
the duplicate set without the knowledge of
either the comptroller or treasurer. This
left but one set Of books to be manipulated
The next step was to induce the general
book keeper to accept in some instance.
the statement of the cashier OF the balance
in some one of the banks without producing
the bank books. This was successfully &C
complished during the last month, and
thus Mr.. Phelps escaped detection for f
very short time. He charged large sun
to the Mechanics and Farmers bank
which its own statement showed it did moi
have, and had Mr.. Seelcy made the usual
and proper examination the bogus entry
would have then been discovered. Havin.
shown how Mr. Phelps succeeded in con
cealing his embellishments for brief tint
it remains to show how he got the money.

TnE PoLARIs INvEsTIGATIoN.-The main
testimony in the second Polaris inyestiga-
ton was concluded on Thursday, and
proves to be as unimportant as the first one
There is not a scintilla of evidence, aside
from the delirious rawlings of Capt. Hall, to
show that he died other than death from
natural causes. The testimony is also con-
current in showing that the Buddington
party made every effort in the Polaris to
find the castaways on the ice foe, and that
they were in no sense put off the vessel,
except as measure of precauton. The
Secretary of the Navy will summarize the
entire evidence and give his conclusions to
the public.

purified the atmosphere and given us re-
newed life and energy. Isit not so--or will
it not be so with this panic Suspensions,
failures, and, perhaps, suffering have fol-
lowed in its wake, but who can tell from
what 1t has saved US In the future. We
have been startled, day after day, with de-
falcations, entertainments and peculations
in places where we least expected them,
and we know not how long they are TO
continue. But for this panic, they might
have continued for years before discovery
was made. If we will examine the cir
cumstances connected with the discovery
of each and all of these crimes, it will be
seen that this monetary difficulty has led
to their discovery. The defalcation-as 1t
is mildly called-in the New York state
treasurer's office, clearly illustrates this.
BY an arrangement, in order to avoid par
TALLY, the surplus state funds were de-
posted in the different Albany banks, in
proportion to their capital, but, in ordinary
times, difference of few thousand dol
lars from the proper proportion would have
made no difference. With the want OF
currency, came the necessity of equalizing
the deposits, and hence the discovery. The

sponsibiity and trust; the discovery OF
defaications and, thereby, preventing fur
ther peculations by the same men; tn,

in their true light; the disappearance o.
fancy and fraudulent stocks; and other 81

troycd crops but it saved life, and so til,

The Senate Transportation Conn
miltee

The Transportation Committee of the
United States Senate were in session at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, in New York, on
Thursday; presided over by Senator Win
dom. Charles Cobb of Memphis made a
statement touching the transportation of
grain at New York. The present storage
capacity for grain at New York, he said,
was about 10, 900, 900 bushels-about twice
as great as was ever required The storage
rates are not as excessive AS has been al
legged. For wheat and corn the charge is
4 cents per bushel for the first ten days,
and l. of cent for each subsequent ten
days. In Western cities the charge is .
cents for the first twenty days, and cents
for each ten days thereafter. Much nfor-
nation regarding lighterage, carriage and
overcharges is being ELECTED. George o.
Jones of Albany testifes to certain facts
touching the Central and Erie Railroads
He exhibited by a tabular paper, made up
by the reports of the engineer, surveyor and
secretary of state, showing that at the time
of the consolidation of the different roads
from New York to Buffalo, thus forming
the New York Central, its capital stock
was less than $17,OO0,OO0 and its bonded
Indebtedness less than So, 500, 900 in excess
OF the actual cost of the property to the
stockholders also showing that the first
cost of the New York Central could not
have exceeded $G,OOO,0OO. The Hudson
River road in 1858 cost less than $40, 000,-
600. The stock and bonGholders of both
roads have never paid anything upon a ca
pital greater than $25, 100000 AS regards
taxing the commerce and travel over rail

would be in violation of the principle of
public use against public policy. dcstruc-

The NIeanesI RInn.

The meanest man is found at last. Ii
any one wishes TO see him, let the seeker
call on -- in Tunbridge The facts
which prove his claim to the above appela-
ton are these Two poor little girls about
ten or eleven years of age last year asked
of this "Gradgrind' the privilege of gath
ering a few butternuts on his farm. That
year the.nuts were not plenty and the leave
given was that the little girls might "picS
up at the halves" which they did.
This year, when the forests are burdened
with nuts of most every kind the same
children supposing the kind-hearted man
would allow them the same privilege, went
at their work at such odd hours as they
could command, and by extra industry and
labor, when other children Of their age
were at play, had collected about fourteen
bushels of butternuts and reported to their
benefactor and requested him to come and
divide but he, looking over the big pile,
and daring to stoop and cheat the merest
child, Informed them that his offer did not
extend to this year and they must be con-
tented with one-half bushel for their share
Oh, the disappointment which crushed the
poor girls for they had seen in their
childish simplicity the pleasure and happi-
ness that the wealth of Crpsus could not
buy clustering around their fireside, and all
had now been scattered to the winds. In
response to their tears, he finally yielded to
them one bag of the nuts. They went to
a neighbor to borrow wheelbarrow TO
carry home their meagre portion and told
him their story. This neighbor advised
them to let Gradgrind have the whole, say
