Grant and Arkansas.


The majority of the Congressional
Committee on Arkansas affairs (four
of the five members thereby have re-
ported, and they declare that the pres
ent State government has a solid and
regular foundation, and is the express
sion of the wishes of majority Of tho
voters of the State. They say that the
condition of the State has been as
peaceful since the new government
was inaugurated as it ever has been.
and the mass of the people of both
sides are inclined to peace and good
government. They also take the true
Democratic ground that the people of
every State have the right to make
their own Fundamental law to suit
themselves. and the national govern-
inent has no right to interfere, unless
their constitution is in violation of the
Federal constitution, which no, one
pretends is the case in Arkansas. But
this condition of affairs don't seem to
suit the purposes if the autocrat of the
White House, who sent to Congress q
most extraordinary message demand
ing that this harmonious and peacable
condition of affairs be qoverthrown
and hell inaugurated there, that the
rule Of the carpet-baggers,. .plundercrs
and despots may be perpetuated.d He
notifies Congress that unless they as.
sumo the responsibility to overthrow
the government, thus inaugurated by
the people, he will. In this Imperial
demand Grant will be backed up by
the Radical leaders. This is the way
in which these felf-stylsd leyalists
preserve the Union with alloithe
rights, dignity and3,equslity Of the
several States unimpaired." President
Grant nor Congress has been sntrust-
ed by the Federal constitution with
the power to settle the questions of

he is iu 10 way responsible for the

PRESIDENT GARCIA MORENO.
DEAR MIR. HARRIS

DEAR Mr.. HARRIS:
In number 337 of your estimable
paper, you published an article taken
from the San Francisco Chronicle,
about Garcia Moreno, the President of
the Republic of Ecuador, in which
the President is represen c as tytant
as bloody as ever one has desecrated
the earth, who has fried the brains OF
women, etc.
Let me tell you, that you have been
greatly misinformed. about tina, noble
man. The article is only dictated by
the most bitter feelings of hatred, and
calculated to bring only i'll disrespeet
man who has done more for the
welfare of his people than any one be-
fore him. Ecuador was ruined i'll hei
finances when he took charge of the
government, and il her credit, because
the Liberals, or Radicals, had brought
that State, through their misconduct
to the very brink Of ruin. In order
to prove what l say, l give you the
| following facts:

The Vermont and Canada Railroad.

BosToN, April 81
There is q general aquiesence in the &C.
ton of the meeting Of the stockholders of
the Vermont and Canada railroad, held on
Tuesday. The disagreemcnts between the
majority and the minority of the directors
relative to the contract effected with the
Vermont Central railroad, July 8, 1874, on
which the papers connected with the trans
fer of the road were based will be harmon
lied. All are agreed upon the wisdom of
the sale of the road, but the minority OBJ
ject to provision inserted in the con-
dtional deed relative to the action of the
Vermont court of chancery and to the Sc
lection of three gentlemen well known and
distinguished for integrity and competency
to act as trustees holding the surrendered
stock of the road.
The agreement with the Central Vermont
contemplatcs the;payment by them of back
rent since September, 1874, upon the exc
cution of the papers, amounting to S45,-
900, and also $50 900 for expenses incurred
since the suspension OF dividends.
The next payment of rent is due June |,
amounting to 800, 900, and it is thought adj
visable to postpone the execution of the
papers until after that time.
The papers TO be submitted for the ap-
proval of the corporation, its at meeting at
Bellows Falls next week, include form of
conditional deed; an assignment of back
rent; form of the bonds to be given by
the Central Vermont in exchange for stock,
and a paper relating to the duties of trus-
tees holding the stock.
A minority of the board Of directors still
hold that the proposed action will be detri-
mental to the stockholders of the Vermont
aud Canada, inasmuch as the Central Yer
mont would not have an interest in pi ess-
ing some of the claims held by the stock
holders. The directors have chosen Lee
muel Shaw, Edward Barry and Samuel
Athcrton to act as trustees. The majority
of tine directors are very generally indorsed
in their position.

CasllctOu Spelling Match,

The town hall in Castlet on was crowded
last evening to witness the spelling con-
test. Rev. William l.. Woodruff, Rev.
William l.. Hines and E. A. Brien, acted
as judges. Prof. Judah Dana of Rutland,
was enunciator. About forty persons par
ticipa.ed in the match, members of the
schools and citizens of Castleton. The
prizes were a Worcester unabridged die
tionary and Websters. BY the time the
words had gone once around the class,
twelve spoilers had retired. "Apothegm"
brought more victims than any other word
pronounced. The word apologize was
missed by an old school teacher, who
would not be satisfied for some time that
he was wrong The last four persons
standing were Miss NJ. A. Worcester,
Miss French, Hon. Morris II. Cool
and boy named Smart. This young
man missed word previously tc
this, but the judges restored him on thu
ground that the word was technical. o.
these four the first to go down was Mis-
Worcester on the word predaceous which
she spelled ''predacious. QuadrisylablC

and he stepped "down and OUT TIT

retired on a word which we did not catch
leaving Miss French the possessor of thu
first prize, and emitting young Smart t
the second. The money taken at the door
over expenses, was given as third priz
to Judge Cook. Altogether the match wa
a decided success.

A Contested Will.

The late Captain Ebcn b. Ward, of De-
troit, Mich, a native of Poultney, Yer
mont, who died few months since, left a
fortune of So, 900, 900, and the funeral was
hardly oyer before the heirs began to quar-
rel about the requests. One relative who
had received $40, 900, said he deserved ten
times that amount, and gave notice that he
would contest the will. The latest move
is combined one by the widow and some
of the other heirs and consists of a petition
to the Michigan legislature for an amend
ment to the present law relating to the set
Element of estates, so as to do away with
the special administrator who may now be
appointed to take charge of the estate
until it is settled, and, instead, to give the
executors control. The sons resist the
proposed change in the law, and as
powerful lobby is enlisted on both sides, q
bitter contest is anticipated.
