Step by step is the new management Of
the Central Vermont railroad company re-
levrng itself from cmbarassments. The
steps may be slow and cautious, but they

unfounded as the charges were and were
known to be by those STOPPING to make
them, no one ever presumed 10 assail the
perfect integrity and purity Of the judges
of the supreme court of Vermont except be-
cause they were compelled, by law and by
their oaths, to hear and determine railroad
controversies the same as they did coutro-
vcrsics between individuals, and because,
when sitting as chancellors they made or
ders in reference to the trustees and re-
cciyers of the property of railroad cOmpa-
mics as they would relative TO the property
of Il copartnership placed in receivers
hands. Although there has not been the
least foundation in fact for the shade Of
shadow of suspicion against the integrity
of our judges, yet the new management
are, as fast as possible, doing away with
all opportunity for this miserable scandal
by taking the property under their own
control and management, thereby not
only relieving the courts but vastly
bcnefttng the Central Vermont rail
road company itself. Monday morn
ing brief allusion was made to
the settlement effected Letwcen the Cen
trail Vermont and the Vermont and Canada
railroads, but the exact terms of the
arrangement were not stated. Briefly and
in effect, the Central Vermont has pur-
chased the Vermont and Canada railroad,
including all of its capital stock, bonds,
claims for back rent against the Vermont
Central and every claim it has or can pos
sibly now have against the Central Yer
mont or the Vermont Central railroad
companies, their trustees, managers or
directors. These are TO be absolutely
wiped out of existence, and the Vermont
and Canada railroad is to be and become
the property Of, and consolidated with, the
Central Vermont as provided in the char
ter In payment therefor, a mortgage for
three million dollars, bearing sic per cent
interest, the principal payable in thirty
years, is to be executed to Bradley Barlow
of St. Adams, Lemucl Shaw and Samuel
Wells of Boston, as trustees, on the Yer
mont and Canada railroad property alone.
In addition to the advantages secured by
putting an end to expensive litigation, this
arrangement saves the Central two per cent
year, on the amount stated, in the sun
they are at present, by their lease, com.
PEELED to pay as rental. We do not think
that we violate any confidence when We
say, that this arrangement, so beneficial tC
