RAILROAD BILL.-We have read the Gov
errors veto on this measure and think
the reasons given therein for his action
are sound and to the point. In our OPP
inion the new county of Eureka will have
burden enough to carry without being

build a branch when they shall conclude
to do so.

Of immense quantities of silver ores in
that locality are wonderful, and, it seems
beyond belief that the existence of the
precious metals should have escaped the
attention of a race who must have existed
long ago. Further developments must

Changed HIS Mind.

a few DAYS ago, tall, rough looking
mountainne er entered the Union rail-
road ticket Office at Denver. and through
mistake purchased a ticket for New
York via the Kansas Pacific line. when
he wanted to go over fhe Union Pacific.
He did not discover this fact until after
the ticket had been paid for, and on ask
ing the agent to change it, the latter re-
fused to do so.
"You won't change this ticket, then,
won't you?"
'.No, sir, replied the agent; ''you
have your ticket and | have the money
for it, and if you want a ticket the other
route, you will have to buy ii.
Very quietly the stranger twisted his
ticket into a small roll very serenely be
drew from under his right coat tail
six-shooter about the dimensions Of
mountain nowitZer; colly and deliber-
ately he stuck the twisted ticket into the
muZZle of that six-shooter, and sticking
the ugly looking thing through the little
square window of the ticket Office, and
almost into the agents face. and speak
ing in the tone that left no doubt Of his
determination, said:
stranger, that's that ticket; take il
yourself and change it, or I'll blow 1t
clean through you"
The ticket was changed Immediately,
and without any more words from the
agent, and the mountaineer walked
away, saying, 81 jest thought l could
induce him TO change his mind little.

Mr.. Tweed went to his office in Duane
street Immediately after the adjourn
ment of the Court yesterday, and ocCu-
pied his accustomed chair at his desk in
his private room. He was called upon
by a few friends and congratulated that
at any rate he was not found guilty.
A Uerdl1 reporter called in the course
of the day and was cordially received by
the eXBOss. He smiled his accustomed
smile when the reporter entered the
room, knowing very well what was the
object of the visit
We'll. Mr. Tweed, said the reporter,
''herP you are again, after your weary
trial"
Yes, it has been wearying business.
I'm getting tired of it. 1t is only a
political trial There is nothing else in
it. | know they will never get jury
to convict me.
"lIave you any knowledge, Mr.
Tweed, as to how The jury stood on their
ballot 2"
No. only know what they tell me.
What they say is that they stood eleven
for acquittal and two for conviction.
ELEVEN and two, that is thirteen.
Why, there were only twelve jurymen.
How's that ?"
"Why, there was one juryman and a
Judge"
The trial has not taken away your
habit of joking, ! see. The Judge was
a little BIASED, think"
Il think Judge Davis is very clever
lawyer-a very holough lawyer; but |
think he was judge, counsel, witness,
Jury and all in this case
"Did you expect a disagreement, Mr..
Tweed -
mo. Iexpectcd an acquittal. There
is no evidence that they can believe to
convict me- What ii is all done for is
to harass and persecute me. When they
issued bench warrant they arrested
me. They knew they could find me
whenever they wanted me. About the
middle of the trial | had information
from quite a responsible man that one
of the jury was In the power of the
prosecution. He has several United
States indictments hanging over him for
using counterfeit tobacco stamps. |

not surprised at the disagreement"
''Thev intend to bring on the new trial
at once, | suppose ?"
$50 they say. Well, Peckham has
cot nothing else to do. Nobody ever
heard Of him till he got started in this
reform business, and nobody would have

''You are afraid of the next trial.

that's all l have got twenty more
years to live yet. I'm only fifty years
of age. Time works wonders, they say,
and it will work a change in this. |

Mr. Tweed was busy with several
clerks during this interview, and the re-
porter bid Mr. Tweed Good day. with
a wish that he would speedily get his
legal troubles oyer.-N. Y. Herald.

Tine 81. Adams Raid.

E. A. Sowles, of st. Adams, writes to
the New York Herald, under date of
January Both, as follows:
notice among the dispatches of the
Associated Press one from Montreal, Z.
O., to the effect that the testimony of
certain witnesses, lately taken in Mon
treal, in relation to the claims against
the British government on account of
''the St. Adams raid, TO use the Ian
guage of the despatch, sis completely al
variance with the report that said scheme
was concocted in Canada, and establish
es the entire ignorance of the authorities
respecting the designs of the raiders"
Now, | beg to say, as counsel for the
claimants, being personally present at
the taking of the testimony, that the
person who made the above statements,
or his informant, is grossly ignorant of
the testimony taken, or otherwise he has
wantonly misstated the facts. The
above quotation is far from the truth.
The testimony on behalf of the British
government was entirely confrmatory
of what many knew before, and the
British government, by their Colonial
Secretary, Hon. Edward Cardwell, in
letter to Lord Monk, under date of
April 1, 1855, therein admits that the
raid was concoctea in Canada, and, to
use Mr.. Cardwell's words, THAT they
(the raiders) did accordingly receive
from Mr. Clay, in Canada, Instructions
for the attack which they afterwards
made upon ST. Adams, and were fur
nished by him, in Canada, with money
for that purpose. and that they did, IN
fact, proceed from Canada to ST. Albans
on a belligerent expedition under these
instructions"
In confirmation Of Mr. Cardwell's
statement one of the wisnesses testified
that j. Wilkes Booth and John III. Sur
raft were in Montreal, the former lit
tie before and the latter just after Presi-
dent LincOln's assassination, in secret
communication with George \. Sanders
and other Southern emissaries, leaving
no doubt in the mind of any person that
the assassination of Mr. Lincoln was
likewise connected" in Canada. Ineed
hardly say that it appeared that ''the
authorities" were not entirely ignorant
respecting the designs of the raiders.
| know of no reason for such misstate-
ments at this time, unless perhaps itmay
be thought necessary to insure the sue
cess of certain parties from Canada now
at Washington striving to bring about
renewal of the former reciprocity treaty
between the two governments, who
would now gladly ignore their record
during our late war.

A Veto from the Presidenf.
The President has sent the follwing
to messara to the Sonata

The President has sent the follwing
veto message to the Senate:
To the Senate of the United State: Nv
| have the honor to return herwith,
Senate bill No. AGO, entitled IAN ct for
the relief of the East Tennessee Diver-
sity, without my approval. This lain,
for which 800, 500 are appropriate out
of the moneys of the United Safes,
arises in part for the destruction oprop-
erty by troops in time of war, and here
fore the same objections attach t it as
were expressed in my message of June
1, 1872, returning the Senate bill award
ing 1875, 1000 to j. Milton Best. T the
precedent is one established tina the
Government is liable for the ravaes of
war, the end of demands upon thtpub-
lie treasury cannot be forecast. The
loyalty of the people of the sectbn in
which the university is located lnder
circumstances of personal danger and
trials, thus emitting them to themost
favorable construction of the obliation
of the Government toward them, adj
mitted, and nothing but regard fr my
duty to the whole people in Opposing
principle which, if allowed, will atail
greater burdens upon the whole than the
relief which will be afforded to apart by
allowing this bill to become law,
could induce me to return it with dice
tons. Recognizing the claims of .hese
citizens to sympathy and the mot ia
vorable considerations of their claims by
the Government, would hardly fgor
donation of the amount appropriated
by this bill for their relief.

Musical Convention.


Editor Rutland Herald Il pensed
the communication from your cores
pondent under the caption of ''Mlsic
and Musical Conventions" over the sig
nature of 'Loyer of Sacred Song, Tin a
former HERALD, with solid satisfaction
as it brought to mind associations formed
at the early musical conventions il this
county. At the convention in Pittiford,
in 1914, James Wyatt, then of Casleton
but now popular and gifted muician
and singer in the City of Portland, Ore
gon, and his sister, Mrs. D. Ii. Hawkins,
then of this place but now of Brooklyn,
and for some years past member O. the
choir in Rev. II. w. Beecher's church,
were there. Each of them bore eon-
spicuous part in the exercises of that
convention.
At the convention in Castleton, in the
summer of the same year, besides the
choir and the chorus singing. an admir-
able address, on the subject of sacred
music, was delivered by Rev. Dr..
Hooker, then of Bennington and s1bse-
quently pastor in Fairhaven. The adj
dress was published in pamphlet form
and circulated through this and ether
counties. At this convention the Con
gregational choir from Pawlet bore off
the palm, Mr.. w c. Benton was then
organist and director of the Brick church
choir in this place, at a salary of one
hundred and fifty dollars a year. The
next year Lewis LarOke, then a resident
of Castleton and real singing master
of that day and an extensive teacher in
this part of our county and Washington
county. n. Y, held successful conven-
tions in Whitehall and Poultney, on the
choir singing system. Since about the
year 1855 mass or miscellaneous musical
conventions have been held, under the
auspices of the Western Vermont and
Union Musical Associations. The last
named was organized at Granville, n.
Y, in the winter of 1860 since which
they have held twelve conventions Mt
Granville, Poultney, Fairhayen, Castle
ton and Cambridge, n. Y, conducted by
$ f. Perkins and A. c. Cook of New
York, Messrs. Baker, Perkins and Davis
of Boston, soloists, Miss Little, Miss
Cary and Mrs. Hall of Boston. Mrs. Alb
hott of Brooklyn, Miss Sterling of New
York pianists. Messrs. Perkins, Cobb
and Ryder of Boston. The largest and
most promising of this SERIES of conven-
tons was at Castleton in February, 1867,
when and where Halls Balls Band of
Boston and quartette club from AL
bany were in attendance. attracting a
large number Of singers and a great con
course of people as listeners. These as
sociations doubtless, have accomplished
something in the way of elevating the
standard Of secular and sacred music.
but oh, for return of the good old way
of conducting musical conventions and
singing schools. b. W II.

The Trap That Caught Pomeroy.
HOW IT WAS ARRANGED-sR. YORH's
SPEECH.

SPEECH.
The correspondent of the St. Louis
Republican graphically depicts the scenes
and incidents of Pomeroy's defeat and
exposure. Writing under date of Topeka,
Kansas, January 80, he says:
AS early as Thursday of last week it
became evident that there was but one
possible method of beating Pomeroy, and
that was to set trap for him, whereby
he should be induced to bride one of the
opposition who could be depended on to
expose him.
At council of war held shortly after
ward by the opposition, it was decided
that Colonel A. NJ. York, Senator from
Montgomery county, was the man most
available for this purpose. A gentleman,
whose connection with several Eastern
railway companies interested in Pome-
rows reelection gave him the old mans
confidence, was brought up from Kan
sas City to begin the negotiations. After
some skirlnishing and sparring an inter
view between York and Pomeroy was
brought about, at which there was some
talk about money, and finally sort of
understanding was arrived at.
Pomeroy then began to shuttle, as he
always does, and tried to work il with
York through a third party. York,
however, refused to negotiate with the
third parties at all, and insisted on doing
business exclusively with the Senator
himself, averring that the old SeHator
was nice man to do business with, and
he wanted full, fair and personal un-
derstanding in the matter.
At last Pomeroy suspended the by
laws of his caution and piety and en-
tered into negotiations with York. The
latter was none of your ten cent fellows.
He told Pomeroy that his constituents
had threatened to hang him if he voted
for the old man, and so it would be ne
cessary for him TO sell oJt for enough to
insure his neck.
This case was one of desperation with
him, and he must have at least $4,000.
At this old Pomeroy made a good many
wry faces, but finally effected a COM
promise on this basis-to wit, $4,000
down, $1,000 within forty-eight hours,
and the other 81 900 after he was elect
ed. Well, York took his $4,000 ard
attended the Pomeroy caucus, where be
made the speech of a proselyte, and was
among the humblest of the late contrite
converts. The next day he went and
got his So, 900, which he quietly put in
his pocket along with the other s., 900,
and having Pomeroy's promise to pay an
additional 81, 900 after he was elected.
That last $1,000 York win probably
lose.
There was dead hush then as Senator
York, of Montgomery, arose and claimed
the floor on a question OF privilege,
which was granted him. He drew from
his pocket an envelope containing 81, 900
in current funds, walked down the aisle
and laid it in front of the Speaker, with
the request that he count the money:
There was a little buzz of surprise, and
then hush of strained expectancy as
the Speaker turned over the crisp notes,
and York walked back to his seat.
Gentlemen" said York, ~ have an
explanation to make to this body upon
my vote for Senator. shall vote for

Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1873-02-06

In the world, and that reason Is now on
the desk of your presiding officer"
There was good many pale and scared
faces in that hall then. He then went
on and detailed the circumstances of his
bribery.
AS he proceeded the excitement be-
came intense, and finally whenever the
name OF Pomeroy was mentioned there
would be storm of Indignation. 1t
was a revolution. York caught its fer
vor in the fine fibres of his nervous or
ganism and again inspired. He said: 81
