Editoy Rutland Globe:
An article appeared in the Daily GLOBE
of the 10Th inst under the caption of ''Let-
tiers from the people and over the sigma
turc of "a. w. j." which consists mainly
in nonsencical garbling and vain attempt
of the writer to appear smart, and yet it
contains several very unjust insnuatons
against the Road Committee and against
the people of this town, and we believe
that these insinuations do not meet the APP
proya of many of the good people of Wal
lingford although \. w. j. is evidently
partisan of the South route or the old road
and there is undoubtedly certain clique
that would applaud his attempt to hurlesquc
the proposed road and rctard and delay the
accomplishment of the object.
As far as the ''Road Committee" is con-
ccrued we do not propose to defend them,
as We consider them abundcntly able to
take care of themselves, and if they have
been uncourteous to "A ". j." or any ere
spectacle people" OF Walneford they must
answer for 1t.
We only say As wa leave them that the
incident mentioned by "A, w. j." shows
that tile Committee had got tired of the Of
fcious and everlasting button-holcing of Il
certain Ring, and also that the insinuation
that the Committee have prolonged this
matter in order t. enrich their own pockets
meets with no sympathy here. We know
| this Committee consists of upright and
honest gentlemen and that they are business
men and that no pay which they receive
would induce them to leave their home and
go to Wallingford and patiently sit hearing
/ the partisan wranglings or YEARLY toll up
and down the hill side between Walliugiorl
and Tinmouth.
We propose to give faithful history OF
this whole affair, and leave the reader to
Judge who is responsible for this great cX-
pensc.
About thirty years since there was an
agreement made between the Selecunen OF
Wallingford and Tinmouth 70 improve the
road between the two places. Tinmoutl
was to change the route on the west side OF
the hill and Wallingford was to change il
on the east side so as to avoid all the stceI
pitches.
Tinmouth fulfilled its part of the agree
ment making new road from the bottom
of the hill to the top on the west side
Wallingford made IA new road around one
steep pitch, leaving three steep pitches I'M
improved. The Selectmen of Wallingford
fulfilled about one fourth part of their con-
tract leaving three fourths uniulfilled and
terrible steep road which no inducement or
the part of Tnmouth could persuade then
to alter. In the year 1872 another agree
ment was made between the Selectmen o.
Wallngford and Tnmouth for new roac
between those two towns, having I
much easier grade than the old one

business or to accelerate their claims:
but I cannot and will not tolcrats

The N. Y. Herald brings out an inter-

The n. Y. Herald brings out an inter-
esting circumstance connected with the APP
pointment of Chief Justice Waite. 1t
seems that he was first nominated by ST..
M. Barlow Democrat of that city, some SIX
months ago, and that in appointing him
President Grant has followed Mr.. Barlows
advice. There is nothing wrong in this;
and indeed it might be well for Gen. Grant
and for the country if he would oftener
draw counsel from the same source; but
the fact tends to strengthen the belief that
in 1854 Mr., Waite voted for Mcclellan.
We dare say such was the case. We sup
pose that it is indisputable that not long
before that election he was in full sympa-
thywith most estimable class OF men then
known as Copperheads, who, while they be-
lieved in maintaining the integrity OF the
country, strongly disapproved of many
measures which Mr.. Lincoln, Mr.. Seward,
and Mr.. Stanton were then putting in force
These measures were freely denounced at
Ine LlllS ny SuCu LuCu 40 MI ooAioWi
Judge Thurman, the present Senator from
Ohio, Judge Black of Pennsylvania, and
Gov. Seymour of New York; and unless
we are greatly mistaken Mr.. Waite at that
time shared their views, and was perhaps
even more extreme in his feelings than
some Of them. This makes it all the more
remarkable that he should have been ap-
pointed Chief Justice on the suggestion of
Mr.. Barlow, and that MIR. Thurman should
have been the principal advocate of his
confirmation in the Senate And the n.
Y. Tribune in abiding to this case says:
Exercising his right of personal veto
of the decree of caucus, he went into
the field for no purpose but to beat Mr..
Ashley, and that purpose he accomplished
through the election of Democrat. This
has usually been considered great crime
by the grade of politicians whof fill the Sen
ate. But these politicians unanimously
noted to confirm this fragrant Boter Here
is high example for the youth of the
country. Bolt whenever your conscience
demands it--and when you iare nominated
for Chief Justice it will not be remembered
against you"

IF the statistics of desertion from the
United States army were published they
would present q striking proof that our
military system is sham within sham ;
that the rank and file mostly enlist to get
food, shelter and clothing till they can find
other employment, or to get carried at the
public expense toward some distant point
they wish to reach. Our excessive army
of 10000 men is not an army 1t is never
better than an unassimulated mass, one
third of which is strange to the musket,
and nearly the whole of which runs away
and disappears every four years. As a
nucleus for such an army as we put in the
to suppress the rebellion it is little better
than worthless. The men who enlist are
mostly foreigners and refugees from idle
ness. The army is their poor house or
hiding place. They enter it to avoid star
walton or arrest The quality of the Con
federate soldiers effectually disposes of the
plea that it is necessary to keep the regu-
lar army as nucleus. On the Union side
was the entire rank and file of the old
army. OF that force the rebels had only
officers. The Confederate rank and file
was composed wholly of raw men, and, in
the first two years of the war, volunteers.
Yet what an infantry they were! Those
of us who saw them charge in line of bat
tie never approach Confederate cemetery
without taking off our hats in homage to
the devoted braves who ever walked
straight into the jaws of death without
blenching The explanation of the extra
ordinary excellence of the rebel infantry is
that it was made up of American citizens.
The present army of the United States is
not such 1t is largely composed of unnat-
uralized foreigners, who enlist as tempo
rary refuge from the material ills
Let it be reduced
