The Trojan Marble COmpany---Its
Quarry, Etc.

Those of our readers who have seen the
block of marble which stands on the coun.
ter of the office of the Bardwel House will
scarcely need be told that it Is beautiful
specimen of varlegated marble.
1t is portion of one of the first blocks
taken from the Trojan quarry In Brandon,
VT, new quarry opened last season,
and from which about twelve thousand
(l2000) cubic feet have been taken.
The headquarters of the company are in
Troy, n. Y.
L. A. Billings, Esq, is president of the
company, and John r. Christie, ESQ,
treasurer.
The capital stock is 100000 most of
which is owned in Troy. The quarry is sit
uated in the town of Brandon, about three
fourths Of mile from the village on the
west side of the Central Vermont railroad,
and about sixty rods from the track
Tine company owns about thirty acres of
land, part Of which lies on the railroad
The Otter creek runs through the premises
and the quarry lies between it and the rail-
road track.
A branch track from the main line to the
quarry is to be laid, which will render the
facilities for shipping the marble very com.
plete.
The work of building mill for saving
is almost complete, and it is expected to
have it ready for saving by the first of
July.
Until the mill is finished the saving will
be done by other mills. The Columbian
mill in this place and mills in Troy, n. y,
Worcester, Mass, and in New York city,
are saving it.
1t is scarcely year since the work of
opening the quarry was commenced, and
yet about twelve thousand cubic feet of
blocks are piled around it and waiting only
to be sawed.
1t is scarcely three months since the first
sawed and finished specimens of the marble
were shown to the public, and yet, orders
for it from dealers and workers in all parts
of the country are coming in much faster
than they can be filled, from lack of IA mill
to saw it.
There has probably meyer been another
instance of so ready sale of marble from a
new qaarry, and the prospect of success is
certainly very encouraging.
In closing our brief notice of this new
accession to the already great and ncreas-
ing force which is developing the immense
resources of this county and vicinity in the
production of marble, it is due to the gen.
tlemen of Troy and elsewhere to say that
we welcome them and their capital amongst
us, and hope they may realize liberal re-
turns for the energy and money which
they have already invested and may here
after invest in this enterprise.
And to f. A. Billings, ESQ, Of Troy, the
president of the company, and our own
townsman, j. J. r. Randall, Esq, the
only stakeholder in this State, who have
had the more immediate and active man.
agement of the enterprise here-who have
stood in the gap through good and through
evil report, remaining confident and stead.
fast when others have doubted and
faltered, and at length seen their predic-
tons made good and the business finally es-
tabished on a solid foundation, we say,
well done.

Tomorrow, Massachusetts, will enter up
on the first step toward electng an United
States Senator to fill out Mr.. Summers I'M
expired term. While we do not believe
that it will result in an agreement of views
between the two houses of the "gcnei al
court, or, perhaps, of an election or nomi-
nation by either, yet there is one thing pc
cullarly gratifying in the situation thus far
even if there are others that tend to dis
gust and loss of faith in human nature.
No 'ittle fellows" are considered in con-
ncclion with the position. Not man is
mentioned, by any party or clique, that
would not honor himself, Massachusetts
and the whole country in the Senate.
Throwing politics aside, and considering
only moral worth, integrity, intellectual
qualifications, a knowledge of politics, and
real craftsmanship, what galaxy of names
are mentioned What other state could
present such a list :? We need but to name
them-thcir very names speak for them :
Charles Francis Adams, Ebenczcr Rock
wood Hoar, Ben amin II. Curtis. Henry l..
Dawes. Would that they all could he in
the Senate, and the Senate be only COM
posed of such men. Vermont has done
her part in endeavoring to produce such a
result.

til counted" This made the congregation
laugh, and his last amendment was loosely
rejected. Mr., Shearman's motion, however,
was carried
1t was then moved that meeting be
held at nine o'clock on Wednesday morn
ing next to take any action made requisite
by the session of the council on the night
before.
ut IS not often the privilege of a
church" said Mr. Beecher in support of
bis proposal, ''twice in its lifetime to have
such eminent lessons in Congregationalism
given to 1t by such eminent teachers.
Therefore, although it may be inconvenient
for some of you, / hope there will be full
attendance. 1t is our pridc-if we have
any pride-that we do not conduct our
business by cliques, but by our whole
church. Therefore, If any reply should
be necessary on Wednesday to anything
the council may have said to us, let it be
the voice of the whole church."
The motion was carried, and the meeting
adjourned amid applause.

AN ARGUMENT AID REM FOIs
WOODSTOCK.

The business men of Woodstock are
again discussing the question of the COM
pletion of the Woodstock railroad"-that
Is, OF a few miles OF road to connect them
with the Central Vermont railroad at the
point known as the "Woodstock station"
in, we believe, the town of IIartlanG. The
main point of discussion seems TO be
whether or not the road will ''pay"-that
is pay its running expenses and interest
upon the bonded debt already Issued and
that necessary for its completion. With
the road as it now is, every cent expended
thereon is dead loss. Not only will it
never pay any interest thereon, but the
principals irretrievablY gone. The question
remains for them to decide, whether or not
they will make an effort TO save this money
in one way, if not in another. Ii is easy
enough to figure up the earnings of road
before it is completed, and show TO
demonstration that it must and will pay.
that every dollar subscribed therefor,
whether in stock or bonds is a good, safe
investment, sure to bring its annual return
in interests or dividends. These calcula-
tions are sometimes realized and sometimes
are not'-more often the latter is the case.
There are large number of contingent ex-
penses, small in themselves but large in the
aggregate, which are very often omitted in
the account,bu which in reality are decisive
Of the question whether the investment. in
and of itself, shall prove profitable. The
people of Rutland are deeply interested in
the completion of this link, and the deci-
sion that Woodstock may make in the
matter. We hope to see the time when
Woodstock and Rutland shall be in direct
railroad communication. We believe such
connection would prove of vast material
and pecuniary advantages to both towns.
We believe moreover that ii would open
up and develop a region of country now
little known, practically shut off from a
ready market, and thereby impeded and
hindered IN development growth and pros
perity. We do not believe that this rail-
road communication will ever become a
reality, unless Woodstock and the inhabi-
tants of the Otta Quechee valley bestr
themselves and speedily complete the east

BUTLER,S DENORALIXsNG IN
ELUENCE.

If anything were wanting to show the
utterly dcmoralizing influence of such
man as BEN f. Butler on politics, 1t
would now be found in the position of the
Massachusetts, senatorial canvass. Its bane-
ful effects were apparent enough, to- per-
son accustomed to observe the current of
politics. the changes from year to year and
the causes which lead thereto, IN the result
of the last gubernatorial election IN that
state. The difference in the political
complexion of the legislature-al although
the republicans retained a large working
majorty-was due to the fear of Butler
ism. Take the legislature of 1878 with its
handful of democrats, and that of the pres
ent year with its large numbers then COM
pare the gubernatoral vote in the district
represented by the opposition, with the
vote for representatives. and senators, and
it is sufficiently evident that the fear of
Butlersm sent more than two-thirds of
these democrats to the general court This
fact Is rendered only the more apparent
when it is stated that the majority of the re-
publcans so defeated in republican districts
were "Butler men," were both nominated
and defeated on that account. An
United States Senator is now to be
elected Ne take it that two
or three facts are past controversy /,
that Henry l.. Dawes is the choice of the
majority of the republicans of the state !;
that he has been one Of the most persist
ent and earnest opponents of Butler and his
schemes ; and that Butler hates him with n
perfect Butler hatred. Under these cir
cumsiances, it would be natural to suppose
that Dawes would almost walk over the
course into the senate But 1t seems that
it is not to be so-although he may or may
not be elected. For some purposes of his
own probably to politically kill him, and
thus wreak his reyenge--Butlcr processes
to ardenlly support Dawes, and directs his
captains and licutenants to work for him.
That Butler honestly desires his success no
one, it seems to us, can for moment be-
leye. Yet his course has fearfully de-
moralized Dawes friends Stories are in
circulation believed, or pretended to
be believed, by men who do or ought to
know better-that the Ratchet is buried
between the two; that Dawes, in consid-
Grafton of Buffers support now and year
from now, will give his support and that of
his friends, SO far as he can control them,
to Buffers gubernatorlal pretensons The
decentralization does not stop here. No
man can be named whose election ii is not
said will be triumph for Butler. If it is
Iloar, why Dawes is defeated and it is a
great triumph-these croakers being all I'M
mindful of Buffers beautiful love for Hoar;
so with Charles Francis Adams and so
! with the whole catalogue of them. 1t is
passing strange to republicans, residing
outside of the State, how the party can be
SO terribly demoralized by man whom
they have twice met and defeated in a
pitched battle, and not only defeated but
utterly routed.

JOSEPH ID. DBNIsON,
Secretary Civil and Military Anal

The proclamation" of Governor Con
verse, appointing the day for the annual
state fast, which we publish in another
place, is n model of conciseness and brcvity.
Without supcrhuous words, he names the
day, recommends the people TO lay aside
their business and pass the day in devotion
al exercises. This is all there is of it and,
perhaps, 1t is enough. He uses hardly
more words than we have already in this
paragraph. making strong contrast be
tween the proclamation of to-day and those
of fifty years ago. 1t will be noticed, with
pleasure, that the Governor has selected

AccIpENr.- Last Sunday two or
three boys, out at the depot Of the
Q. sc. Railroad, jumped aboard
the train for Portland to ride down
tothe switch, a distance Of a hun
dred yards or such a matter. Upon
reaching the switch all Of them
jumped clear except Willy Humph-
rey, son OF George Humphrey,
Deputy Sheriff, probably eight years
old, who fell upon the ties and dis
located his left ankle. J. r.
Herren carried him to the depot,
and we believe Charley Mealey
carried him home. The little sha-
vers about town have been in the
practice, tor sometime past, Of riding
down to the switch and then jump
ing of, and, up to last Sunday,
generally getting off without get
ting materially damaged. It's a
very dangerous way Of getting a
free ride, and we hope the boys,
for their own sakes, will discontinue
the practice.
