SEEKING IN VAIN some honest prctext for
an attack on the Administration, the Will
minyton IN. c. Journal is compelled to re-
sort to the manufacture of theories, and the
assumption that Its theories arc based upon
facts. Its latest demonstration Is an assault
upon Secretary Robcsen for the manner In
which tho examination Of the Buddlngton
party of tho Polaris crew is being conducted.
It charges that the Secretary has CLOSELY
confined" Buddington, and asks "by what
authority" this Is done. The answer is that
Buddlngton and his associates are not closely
confined, and that, inasmuch as they are le-
sally In the naval service Of the United States,
the Secretary has authority OF the most arbi-
trary kind over their movements. When II
is remembered that they arc allowed to 20

their presence Is needed before the commits

that arbitrary power has been lenicnt in

When WE REMEMBER THE AFFECTIONS
with which our country and people have
been visited during the past two or three
ycars-tho sweeping devastation OF firc In
tho North and Northwest and tho heart
slckenlng scourgc ofthc yellow fever. cholera
and other epidemics in other sections Of the
country-we cannot fail TO discern the hand
Of an inscrutablc Providence, and at the
came time to congratulate ourselves that In
other respccts-in the bountiful yield Of our
crops, and In tho substantial progress Of our
business affairs-we have been favored be-
You'd our most sanguine expectations. But
there Is another and deeper Significance
attached to these facts, which Is 10 be found
in the development Of Christian sympathy
between the psople Of the two sections lately
at war with each other, which, In the hour Of
sore need and desperate afilction, hes risen
above the influences and promptings of par
tisan opinion or tho bitter prejudiccs of the
past. Thus, the Shreveport and Memphis
sufferers were the recipients Of generous con-
tributions from people who, but little more
than ten years ago were draining their purses
and energies for the purpose Of maintaining
sanguinary conflict against them. The fel-
low-fceling that makes us wOndrous kind in
the hour Of adversely has replaced the hos
tilitcs Of civil war, aud under the benign in
luencc OF common suffering the people have
clasped hands, In cordial and christianlike
oarnestness, across the bloody chasm. The
bond which binds them together now Is of
the most sacred character, before which hair
splitting theories Of State rights sink into
utter inssuihcancc. Let us hope that this Is
indeed, new harbngcr Of lasting peace.

The New Orleans Republican assures the
public that the Republican party Of Louisiana
is unit In Its sympathy for the movement to
secure recognition of the Cuban republic.
This is also true of the Republican party in
every section Of the country; but, as the Re
publican truthfully remarks, with the prin-
cipal ports of the island in the possession Of
Spain, with a regular revenue system, a
standing army and surrounding feet and
with commercial and diplomatic agents Of
foreign governments resident In Cuba, how
could the patriots claim the independent au-
touomy OF all Cubai" 1t Is to be regretted
that this conservative view Of the situation is
not more generally accepted; but when 1t Is
remembered that citizens Of the United States
have been murdered and robbed with the
knowledge and conniyanco Of the Spanish
authorities, and that Spain has failed after q
struggle Of years TO restore her authority on
the island, il Is strange, indeed, that the sym.
PATTY Of our people has not assumed more
demonstrativc form. The injury to our COM
mcrce occasiOncd by the excess Of imports
over exports aud by the discriminating har-
Dor aud customs regulations on the island
has cost more In the last twenty years than
the war Of the rebellion.

RutIand Railroad.

The annual meeting OF the Rutland
Railroad company, yesterday, was in
the main harmonious and resulted in
the election of the old board OF directors,
with two exceptions, Mr.. Barnes, OF
Burlington, and Mr. Skilllngs, OF Bos-
ton, voluntarily retiring, and Their
places being supplied by the election OF
.la're- w. Ilickok, of Burlington, and
Jacob Edwards, of Boston. Both of
these gentlemen are excellent business
men. ami largely interested in the Rut-
land railroad AMI its prosperity. The
reports of the president and treasurer,
which are given in full in another place,
give satisfactory account Of the finances
and prosp ."'s of the road. The floating
Indebtedness umounts to 1924 9O6. 68,
and to meet this sum there are available
assets, amounting to 81, 1856, ,719, 35.
These assets include the balance, on
hand of the bonds authorized at the
last meeting Of the stockholders Of which
nearly two-thirds, or about one million
d'ila s, have been negotiated or sub
scri5al for. OF the remaining half mil
lion, it is expected that some over half
will be absorbed by the conversion of
outstanding scrip. issued for dividends
ON preferred stock. With the same sue
cess that the managers have eXperianced
the past year, we may expect, that at
iae next annual meeting the road VIII
ma itself tree from all liabilities except
un its stock and funded debt. An I'M
porlant step was taken, yesterday IN
authorizing the surrender, by the trus-
tees amt managers Of the Vermont Cen
trail and Vermont and Canada railroads,
of the leases OF the Whitehall
and Plattsburgh and Montreal and
Plattsburgh railroads and the Ieas-
ing or transfer OF the same to the

brances of this our annual gathering,
but fixed determination to carry into
practice, in our daily labors, the yalu-
able suggestions and instructions here re-
ceived and that we pledge ourselves to
greater efforts in elevating the standard
of education in our State, and to more
assiduous labors in discharging the high
trusts committed to our hands.
These resolutions were unanimously
accepted and adopted.
The following resolution was present
ed by Mr.. Cilley, and after remarks by
DR.. French, adopted:
ReS0tUed, That in the recent and sud
den death of Prof. o. H. KiIe, of West
erly, r. l., formerly member of this
association, and for seven years teacher
of the Vergennes High School, and al
ways one of the most able, earnest, thor
ough and efficient teachers of the State,
we are solemnly admonished of the
truth that what we have to do in our
chosen work must be done quickly and
that while we deeply lament his early
death and sadly mourn that we shall see
him no more in our associations on
earth, we will seek to emulate his vir-
tues and toll on in hope of hearing it
said to US at the last, as we trust it has
already been said to him, HWell done,
good and faithful servant, enter into the
joy of thy Lord.
ResobUed, That copy of this resolu-
ton be sent to the family of the deceased.
After announcing the time of holding
teachers institutes, by DR.. French, the
association adjourned.
The sessions of the associations, at
tended by 148 teachers, were very inter
esting and proved profitable to all who at
tended. In addition to the teachers
present, there was at most of the ses-
sions a good attendance of the citizens
Of Rutland and vicinity.
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1873-02-06

And Edwin A. Birchard 'of Brandon,
Peter Butler, George B. Chase and
Jacob Edwards of Boston, John B.
Page of Rutland, James II. Williams of
Bellows Falls and James w. Hickok of
Burlington, were elected directors for
the year ensuing.
Bradley B. Smalley moved that the
report be accepted and that the report
of the president, treasurer and auditor,
together with the official proceedings of
this meeting be printed and distributed
to the stockholders.
D. n. Skillings said he hoped that the
reports would not be accepted, because,
in his opinion it was not correct, and he
wanted it referred to committee for
investigation.
James w. Hiekok, of Burlington, said
he had made the subject of the printed
report (that of 1922 matter of special
study and that the report of the Presi-
dent made to-day was what he should
have expected. 1t seemed to him, after
this matter had been examined, passed
on and accepted by courts and large
number of stockholders, he thought it

FIRE IN WATERBURY. When the new
building for the Reform School was
erected, Mr.. w. G. Fairbanks, the SUPER
intendent of the school, purchased of the
school the old buildings for which the
new were to be substitute. One of
these buildings he moved down the river
about twenty rods, and had put in ma
chinery for making chair woods or bot
toms. On Friday evening of last week
this building took fire and was entirely
burned, together with the machinery.
The building was about 25 by 40 feet.
The origin of the fire is unknown. The
loss is about $500 insured for So, 800.
The loss to the State is nothing, as the
property was owned and the business
carried on by Mr.. Fairbanks.

Burning of the National Theatre.

Shortly after eleven O'Clock, Tuesday
morning, the National Theatre at Wash
ington was found to be on fire. The fire
was discovered by the carpenters, who
at once alarmed all in the house. The
flames spread with great rapidity through
the auditorium, which was some distance
back from the street, and all the inner
portion was very quickly consumed, not
withstanding that the fire department
were promptly on hand and worked with
much energy. There was little or no
wind blowing at the time, which luckily
saved the surrounding buildings. The
Imperial Hotel was only slightly dam
aged. The building is owned by o. v.
MattesOn of Utica, n. Y, and was
leased to Mr.. Sykes, and their combined
loss viii probably amount to $50, 900.
The theatre was owned by Mr.. w. Ii.
Rapley, whose loss is estimated $780,
600, upon which there is an insurance of
$4,000 The theatre was leased to Mr..
J. G. Saville, who not only loses an eX-
tensive wardrobe, but much very valu-
able property that he has accumulated
in the building since he took the man
agement of the theatre in the fall of
1871. His wife, Mary Saville, who has
been filling the position of leading lady,
also loses much of her rich wardrobe.
Among others who lose considerable
personal wardrobe are Mr.. E. +. Thorne,
o. II. Barr, Vining Bowers, and several
other members of the regular company.
This is the third time that the Ma
tional Theatre has been burnt out it
was burnt out in 1915 and again in 1859.
| AS theatre it had varied existence up
to the fall of 1871, when Mr.. Saville,
4 who had become well known in the pro-
fession and through the country as the
! agent for Miss Lotta, took lease of the
/ theatre. He at once made extensive al
| terations both on the stage and to the
| auditorium, while during last summer he
/ had the whole house repainted and dec
GRATED, and has constantly labored TO
make the National one of the best the
4 stres in the country. 1t is therefore to
be exceedingly regretted that he is now
/ burnt out Just as he was realizing some
/ of the fruits of his labor. The last per-
formance in which the regular company
were engaged was on Saturday night,
when they appeared with Miss Carlotta
Leclerca in Tom Taylor's drama OF
s.Pilot and Passion. Next Monday
NIGHT they were to have reappeared, sup
noTting Mr.. Joseph jefferson in his in
imifable representation of Rip Van
Wrinkle, for which performance every
seat in the house had been sold, including
! one of the boxes to President Grant and
family. A large force of workmen were
al once set to work to remoyet the deorls.

l'HE BRITISH BUDGET.-Unless there
is a q istinct rupture with Russia, which

army estimates of Great Britain this

nearly three quarters of million, ster-
