ST. ALBANs, May 3.
mittcc are fast drawing to termination,
and it is expected that few days more
will he sufficient for producing all the tes-
timony required. This morning the com
mittee at the Library Rooms of the Depot
to examine the accounts Of the trustees and
managers; also the legal service account in
particular. The latter was fully examined
and contained the names of prominent legal
gentlemen in this State and Massachusetts,,
with the amount of fees paid at different
times. The name of Gov. Underwood fig
urcd numerously and largely in the past
three years, as did also the names of Messrs.
Noble and Smith to II surprising total
The chief clerk being absent the private
account of Gov. Smith, or any voucher
pertaining thereto, could not be produced.
The same was ordered to be Forthcoming
on Monday morning, when general over
hauling is expected.
In the afternoon the deposition of Eu-
gene Putnam of Chicago, the former pri-
vatc secretary of Gov. Smith. was read. 1t
was of considerable interest to the case,
and gave detailed accounts of some mat
tiers not made public, of which the de-
ponent was cognizant.
Gen. Geo. j. Stannard was put on the
witness stand, and the contract entered in
to by him as one of the firm of st. Adams
Foundry Company in 1861 was produced
at the same time by w. c. Smith. The
contract was read by the committee in pri-
vatc session first, and afterwards in open
court by their decision, and proved, among
the startling things, an interest to have ex-
listed in the same by John Gregory Smith
as well as his brother. These names were
signed to the document which set forth
that royalty of SO, $3.50, and 50 per
wheel, should be paid the said Smiths on
every car wheel sold the Railroad Com
pany, the same running for three years
during the time, Gen. Stannard was of the
firm, with Edgar A. Smith. This contract
is the same now in existence between
Smith and Newton and w. c. Smith, and
relates also to the rent of the real estate.
Superintendent Merrill was RECALLED and
corroborated the statements in Mr. Put
MANS deposition in several important par
ticulars. He was Intercepted regarding
the probable worth of Gov. Smith at this
time, which was objected to by the counsel
for the road, and the committee decided to
defer the time of questioning until Mon
day. The pass system was thoroughly
ventilated through this witness, who read
from the list passes furnished to the out
side world in 1872, and the same was found
to comprise large number of the promi-
nent men through the State, on the bench
and of the bar
The next few days will be interesting in
news from this case we think. Sol.

MADRID, May q.
Gen. Sicklcs accompanied by the mem
bcrs of the American legation, yesterday
proceeded TO the Palace of the ministry and
formally presented to President Figuersa
the joint resolution of the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United
States, congratulating the Spanish govern
mcnt and people, on the passage by the
ASSEMBLY, of the bill abolishing slavery
in the colonies. lie was received with
great ceremony. A guard of honor was
drawn up at the entrance of the palace and
presented arms as the legation passed in,
and in the court yard II band played the
national airs of Spain and the United
States. Gen. Sicklcs was met by President
Figucras and all the members of the gov
eminent. On presenting the resolutions
the General congratulated Spain on the cs-
Establishment of a Republic and the aboli-
ton of slavery. The last act, he said, was
the first proof of SPANS just respect for
the natural rights of all men. lie con-
tinued
The United States desire the happiness of
neighboring countries, and cannot look in
differently ON whatever concerns the wei
fare of the Antilles. Porto Rico and Cuba
will now contribute more than ever to the
power of Spain, for justice forms the basis
of strength. President Fgucras replied
with warm expression of thanks. The
Carlists make hcuvy acquisitions for money
and provisions in the provinces, and arrest
and hold mayors of towns until their de
mands are satisfied.

Extra Early Potatoes.

This potato, which originated with Geo.
w. Woodhouse, here in Rutland, will be
cultivated this present season quite extern
sivcly in this region in the interest of the
originator, in anticipation of the sale of its
products, after the first of January next.
Until that time, b. X Bliss e Sons have
the exclusive control of the sale of this $50
pronounced) invaluable addition to the food
of the millions. This claim appears to be
well founded, unless "the very elect are
deceived. AS for instance, the editor of
the American Agriculturist says FL made
two paintings last year of the Early Yer
mont, side by side with the Early Rose,
and in both cases it was easily ten days
ahead of that well known variety"
III. S. Goodale, editor of the Berkshire
Courier, says that with him "Twclvc hills
OF the Early Vermont yielded fftG-seven
pounds, while twelve hills of the Early
Rose yielded thirty-six pounds" Il. Mon
tague, of Belcherton, Mass, says :-''I
think the quality eXcels the Rose. Think
it a valuable acquisition" Many Other
similar testimonials have been given by
competent judges. But the "proof of the
pudding is in the eating" which opportu-
nifty we shall have in due season.
