of his travels, as he has always asserted, and

upon him. lie was born at Portland, Me-,

thence to journalism, establishing at New
York in 1886 the Express, of which he has
ever since been chief editor and proprietor
His political career began with a term in the
Maine Legislature, 1885, and continued with
an election to the New York Assembly in
1917 he was elected to Congress, 1845, and
re elected in 1850; again, a dozen years later
he resumed his seat 10 the House, which be

| JUDGE W. C. BROWN.
The payment of $4,000 to Judge Brown.
the attorney Of the Osdensburgh road. was
advised by Mr. Stark and by others of the
connecting roads to Boston, and GOV. Smith
paid it, though deeming it too high. The
roads below bore their share of the expense.
Brown had done work for the Central in
court and before Committees at Albany, and
YVES deemed an important man to have and
necessary for the interests Of the road.
END OF THE EXAMINATION,
The result of the examination is important
rather in view of making up a correct
judgment as to what is past and gone, and as
to the personal honesty Of the trustees, than
as basis of action for the legislature in
giving future direction as to this great rail-
road interest. The new corporation, the
" Central Vermont" whose subscription
books were opened aud over two millions ia
ken, takes the Vermont Central out of chan
Gerry, will pay it's Eating debt, and will re-
lieve the State from inquiring whether the
trustees are fit men to have charge of the
trust. That question mty be interesting in
cidentAlly. for they may have influential posi-
tons in the new corporation, and of course
have yet to acc punt to the Court of Chancery
for the former discharge of their trust which
is soon to be among the things that were
but are not:
This investigation has brought out nothing
in proof to lead US to think that the Central
Vermont would do otherwise than receive
benefit, should the management of the old
Central have an influential voice in the new
road, and nothing to convince US that the
trustee will show when they account to the
Court, as they soon must do, that their
trust has been otherwise than faithfully exc
cuted.
The hearing closed yesterdly, Mr.. Daven-
port spoke for three hours, and the counsel
for the trustees submitted their case without
argument. Mr.. Davenport, says the Free
Press, was very bitter and coarse in his at
tack. The investigation is regarded as q
vindication of the conduct of the trus tees.

Hon. CAKES AMEs. was stricken with par
alysis, at his residence in North Easton, on
Monday evening. He had been attacked by
pleurisy, and was already ill at the time of
the stroke. His age is SO years, AM it is
thought he cannot possibly survlve. Tne
death of Messrs Brooks and Ames so near
together, seems a strange coincidence.

ter to Russia, died suddenly on the 9Th in

We presume those who have controlle

the counsels and management of the Central
Vermont and We wish the new enterprise the
success which the energy of those in it de-
serves. 1t is said that the arrangement was
satisfactory to the Central trustees as, the y
had 10 vain tried to get Boston capitalists to
com, up to the work of starting the Central
Vermont by liberal subscriptions. The
change is one that will be of great import
ance in itself and that may be felt in many
parts of the State, affecting them favorably
or the opposite. as their location and tt cir

shall dictate. As to the probable results to
our own section, we defer comment until the
new company and its policy shall have as
