CONSOLIDATION OF INTERESTS BETWEEN
THE CENTRAL VERMONT AND THE New
York, BosToN AND MONTREAL RAIL
RoADs-THRoUGH CONNECTION WITH
New YORK.
A special from St. Albans, to a New
York paper, contains the following
g People along the Central Vermont
railroad, which used to have its outlet in
Boston, are delighted at the prospect of
a through connection with New York,
over the New York, Boston and Mon
treal railroad. The Central Vermont has
been a connecting link between Boston,
Montreal and Ogdensburg, on the ST.
Lawrence, but now it is to be made a
trunk line between those northern cities
and New York city. The consolidation
of interests between the two roads is now
complete. At meeting held to-day it
was voted to remove the offices of the
road from Boston to New York. After
the election of officers had taken place
the directors of both the New York,
Boston and Montreal railroad and the
Central Vermont adjourned to examine
the machine shops, rolling mills and car
| shops of the road. These shops are con-
structed large enough to build all the To-
roads. They cost about $500, 900
and employ 1000 men. They were found
in superb running order.

God OF our warrior dead
Who for the nation bled,

To Thee their dust we gave
When bending DER their grave,
We wept the martyr'd brave,
Thine hallowed trust!
God of our precious dead!
To whom their souls have sped
o guard their Dust
On Thee our hearts we stay,
Hoping in Thy great day
Exultingly they may
Rise with the just.
God of our mighty slain
Who fought tor truth, not fame,
Thou vast their trust!
In slav'ry dark and fell
Through Thee they vanquished hell,
And conquering, nobly fell;
o guard their dust +!
God of our patriot band,
The saviourS of our land,
Their cause was just!
For man and liberty
Boldly they followed Thee
To death and victory;
Then guard their dust
Let angel watchers keep
Their vigils, where they sleep
In holy calm:
A bright and seraph throng,
Weeping the dead among,
Chanting in softest song

Watching, chanting, weeping,
Ceaseless yigils keeping
Beside the brave.
Watch till the coming light
Shall dissipate the night
And call them. fair and bright,
Forth from the grave
Around their graves to-day
We grateful homage pay
To Thee our God:
For comrades in the fight
Who in our deepest night
Died to defend the right
For US and God.
And now, o God above!
Beside the graves they love
A nation prays:
For all posterity
o may these dead yet be
Mighty in history
Unto Thy praise
May still their story be

Through distant years,
May ages yet unborn
These hallowed tombs adoTn,
And like the dew of morn
Battle them with tears
Around them may there ri e
A nation strong and wise.
As from their dust:
Their strength in equity,
Their wisdom, liberty.
Whose only boast shall be-

arose mainly in West Tennessee, Missis-

HOW CURRENCY GERS sOaRCE.


One leading cause of the money trouble.
generally overlooked, is explained by a
New York correspondent Of the Boston
Aduertiser, namely, tie vast watering Of
stocks. The watering of Vanderbilt stocks
for instance, created an immense CLIQUE Of
fancy holders constantly operating on the
Stock Exchange TO keep up prices. Those
being the heaviest dealers in stocks, the
banks sustained them under mistaken
idea Of the necessity Of keeping up public
credit and confidence, and in order to do so
were compelled to deny tho usual accom-
modations TO merchants, who were thus
driven to the private bankers and bin dis
counters. That the initiating of the Van.
derbilt stocks was wholly unwar-
rsnted was proven BY Vanderbilt him
self borrowing S1,750, 900 to pay dividend
OH the watered stock of the Lake Shore
riilrOad, which loan has not been repaid.
Il is now alleged that all the dividends on
all these watered stocks have been paid in
ire same way, and that acme Of them are
worth really no more than Erie. Its al
legged that if banks did their duty and re-
fused any more loans to these roads and to
the spectators engaged in keeping up their
stocks, they would all decline rapidly, and
that sooner or later they must inevitably do
SO when the facilities for borrowing come
to an end. None Of them appear to be much
better of than Northern Pacific, and the
blows aimed at that now recoil upon tn cir
own fancy stocks. The simple truth is that
the New York banks are afraid to let the
Vanderbilt CLIQUE fall.

OK Oct. l, there was one-sided NUM-
cipal election in Charleston, S. c., in which
the Radicals seem to have resorted to all
the dirty tricks connected with the rotten
borough system in England, SO graphically
described by Mscaulay. In vain, the Nea1s
and the Courier endeayored to learn where
the polling booths would be. They were
changed at the last moment by the domi-
nant party, and for hours after they were
opened in obscure alleys, no white man
could find out where TO deposit his ballot.
The Radical negroes were Of course fully
advised. The Neo0S says nothing is to be
gained by craven submission, and so an sp-
peal to the courts will be hal. On the 9th
largely attended public meeting of citi-
zens formally declared the recent municipal
election to be null and void, and called
upon the present Mayor and Aldermen to
retain their offices until SUCCESSORS be le-
pally elected.

position, said: productive labor is the
source Of eli wealth. All the money made
and lost in the exchange in Wall street does
not add one :ot2 to the wealth of the ma
ton. Some individuals, it is true, become
suddenly rich, but what is added to their
wealth is taken from the wealth OF some
other man, and is not unfrequently the bard
earnings OF patient toll and pinchiDg econ
Omy. But occasionally we see the wealth
of the favored few vanish before our eyes

not envy such millionaires. But pity the

evils, it is time that the nation rose as one
