twelve wheeled one, the car being elegantly
upholstered, with the trimmings of hard
wood deliberately carved and ornamented.
The car had three compartments or sec
tions, the forward one being the cuisine,
with its ice houses, stores of meat, etc.,
dinner service, shifting tables, and the
dormitories of the conductor, steward, etc.
The middle compartment was furnished
with accommodations for thirty.six pas
sengers, while the toilet rooms were in the
rear compartment.
The train left Jersey city at one o'clock
Thursday morning, and made the first nine
ty milesto Phladelphia-in ninety. mine
minutes. Harrisburgh, one hundred and
forty-siX miles, was reached in four hours
and nineteen minutesi Pittsburgh, four
hundred and forty-four miles, ten hours
and forty-two minutes; Chicago, nine hun
bred and thirteen miles, in twenty-one
hours Omaha, fourteen hundred miles,
thrty-three hours and twenty.seven min
utos; Cheyenne, nineteen hundred and
thirty-two miles, forty-four hours and
twenty minutes and San Francisco, three
thousand three hundred and seventeen
miles, in eghty-three hours and thirty-four
minutes. At Omaha, the train was some
eight hours and thirty minutes in advance
of schedule time, but 1t will be noticed
that the hours were lost in going from
there TO San Francisco--distance some
thirteen hundred mles-which was, doubt
less, due to the wearing out of the "brake
shoes" ON the cars which left Jersey
city, necessitatng the placing Of two addi-
tioDal cars on the train over the Central
Pacific road. Ii was arranged, before
starting, that the minimum rate of speed
should be twenty-five miles an hour, and
the maximum sixty-fve miles, averaging
forty-four miles an hour, and it will be
seen that the average was fully maintained.
This bare statement of dry facts and fig.
ures is more eloquent of American pluck,
enterprise and progress than elaborate de-
scription or abored comment could make
them. Jules Nerne's fancy sketch OF
Phieas Fogg going around the world in
eighty days is rendered tame by the actual
feat of bridging the continent in less than
three days and half. Fact has outstrip.
ped fiction. The reality is more wonder.
full than the imaginary. We all looked
with something Of hesitation and doubt
upon the project Of the fast mail train, but
1t has passed the ordeal of winter, and has
not beeh subjected even to the dangers in.
cident to ordinary railway travelling. The
experiment has become, not emily an assur.
ed success, but the idea has been improved
upon, and train rushes from the Atlantic
to the Pacific with speed hardly dreamed
of, even, by the visionary. What POSSIBLE
tiles are in store for American enterprise
and energy? If rate of speed, averaging
forty-four miles an hour, can now be at.
tanned and kept up from the Atlantic tc
the Pacific with our present progress in
constructing railroads, cars and locomo.
tives, what has the future in store for US
1t would seem that the ad vance of the past
half century was but a dim type of that
which is to be made within the next fifty
years.

Conceding If you please, as our minis
terial friend puts it, that " were one of the
saints to become materialized and run
" for effice," some pretext would be found
tor his investigation may we be permitted
to ask, whether, if the saint aforesaid
should become materialized, he would find
1t necessary to tampcr with the witness
summoned against him steal parcel of
letters in order that he might be vindicated,
after finding that he could not buy the wit
ncss' silence by the promise of a consul
ship; and then call on Jere Black and
Matt Carpenter to certify that stealing, un-
der the circumstances, was justifable !?
Perhaps, however, our friend has not heard
about the letters. We judge SO from his
dignihed silence on the subject.

Who We're the Deacon's Wicked
Partners

BRATrLEBoRo, June 5, 1876.
Editor Rutland Globe The communi.
cation from the Rev. Mr.. Wilbur, publish
ed in THE GronE. Saturday. eugsost. two
or three fnqui'irs to my mind.
Who are, or we're, the wicked partners,
who have thrown such terrible stigma
of unfair business repute over the name of
Jacob Estey
Was it Deacon Isaac Hines, good,
square, conscientious Baptist of the same
church with the Deacon Estey2 Or was
it Ii. p. Green, another gentleman whom
no one ever spoke against, and member
of the same Baptist church? Or was it
Riley Burdett, deacon of the Congrepa-
tlonal church in the village of Brattleboro ;
purely honest man, who built up the bus
ineSs on which the good Estey has thrived,
who furnished the brains for all the i'm
provements that give any value to the
Estey organs ?
These are the gentlemen who have been
Jacob Estey's partners in the organ bus
mess. How he settled with them, IS well
known to all Of our old business citizens.
Why they were compelled to abandon a
prospectively lucrative business as soon as
any profits could be foreseen by the willy
deacon, and when they succeeded in OBJ
tanning their proportion of what should
have been paid them. can be learned by re-
ierring to the court records of Windham
county. Ii is too bad for contemplation
that this good man should be obliged to
keep the funds of his wicked partners
until the court should order him to paw
them over

ACROSS THE CONTINENT.

Last evening was presented at one of the
theatres, 10 San Francisco, Shakespeare's
drama Of "Henry w." the character of
HenIy ", Fluellan and Pistol Being sus-
tanned by three gentlemen, who had been
IN San Francisco some thrty-six hours, but
who were in New York city Thursday
morning. The trip from New York to
San Francisco - distance three thousand
three hundred and seventeen miles-was
made In less than eighty-four hours, or in
less than three days and half. Marking,
as it does, a new era in "rapid transit, the
successful completion Of the enterprise is
worthy of more than passing notice.
The train was made up of a locomotive,
baggage car, combined commissary and
smoking car, and Pullman palace hotel
car. The locomotive was without name,
being simply designated as No. 573 of the
Pennsylvania railroad. The baggage,
smoking and commissary car were of the
ordinary kind, while tho Pullman was q

1t is claimed, and is probably true, that
had Jacob Estey been governor at the
time of the burning of the reform school
building, the general assembly would not
have been convened in special session to
make an appropriation, but that he would
have violated the constitution and laws,
and disregarded his official oath by rebuild
ing at Waterbury without legislative SUMO
ton. This is no invention of his enemies.
but Is put forth by his home organ, the
Record and Farmer, as a valid argument
in his favor. Vermonters are asked to give
their saffrages for man who would treat
the constitution and laws with contempt
would consider his official oath as naught
and would Illegally abstract money from
the public treasury. Tie argument is
urged by the newspaper which is edited in
accordance with his wishes, and distIibu-
ted by direction of his New York drum
mer. What answer will the constitution

Good on "Hooker "

Said Jealous friend of Mr.. Harris TO
that gentleman, the other day, in Brattle-
boro "Who have you sent out about the
state to fix things? Dea. Estey has got
his runners and paid emssaries out by the
score in every nook and corner of the state,
outton-holing and importunipg and buying
up every man that can be reached, and is
throwing out his money as free as water.
You ought to be up and doing if you ex-
pect to beat him."
Well, replied Mr.. Harris, "Ivc
watched the course Of political events
pretty carefully for more than twenty
years, and have never yet known any
man to succeed in buying his way into any
high office in Vermont so / think my
neighbor, the deacon, who is generally &C.
counted as pretty sharp, shrewd man, is
for once in his life, at least, making bad
investment of his money. AS to employ
ing hired runners to fix things. only one
man has been out canvassing for me. He
has been constantly at work, now nearly or
quite two months, and Is doing his work so
satisfactorily that j really need no other
II ne don't make me governor, my case is
hopeless indeed.
"But who is the man ?" says Jealous
friend.
"Col Hooker" was the reply. "To be
sure, allow my friend, Dea. Estey, who
has plenty OF money, to pay him and settle
his little bills for the necessary supplies for
lubricating ard otherwise fixing the sin
ners'; but l look upon the gallant colonel
as my very best friend, politically speak
ing; aud If should happen to be elected,
shall owe him heavy debt of gratitude.
1t is given out, know, that he favors the
deacon but that's all a mistake. He is
really working for me, and very effectively
too"

An argument for Estey. One of the
Estey organs says: "There is stupid injus-
"tice in styling Davenport demagogue, +"
because if there had been "a spice of the
"demegogue in his composition he
"would years ago have been in the repub-
''lican party" in whose ranks his abilities
'would have easily won" for him ''all the
"honors of public lfe." Republicans of
Vermont, this is the estimation in which
the friends of Jacob Estey hold you You
are ever ready to reward demagogues, and
are therefore expected to make Jacob Es-
tey your governor. What answer will you

Rev. William N. Wilbur, in aletter pub
lished in THE GLOBE, Saturday, having in
timated that Deacon Estey had 'once or
'twice" been the victim of wicked part
ners, is now called upon, in a letter pub

there" TO be little more specific and

The other day, as some four to six hun
cred copies of the Brattleboro Record and
Farmer were brought into the post Office,
of that place, to be mailed, in accordance
with the directory, as directed by the SON
in-law, or with the list furnished by the
deacon's political travelling factotum, one
of the clerks, not having the fear of that
bond before his eyes, facetiously remarked.
" That's the way the office seeks the man ~

TIE EXPOSITION

To infinitely describe the exposition
would be simply impossible for any one
correspondent within reasonable time.
The grounds are a city Of themselves and
are visited by an average daily number of
people variously estimated from ten to
twenty thousand. The arrangements were
not all completed, as packages were still
arriving for the show, but the public may
confidently expect that after the middle of
June all the exhibits will have been receiv-
ed and assigned their places for the most
brilliant display. The large buildings are
well filled with the industries of all nations
and it is truly wonderful to see what the
genius, brain and muscle of man can ac-
complish by trained skill, and it is still
more wonderful to look beyond man thus
wonderfully made" and cultured, to his
Maker, whose name is appropriately called

building which was in process of construc-

doubtless coat person the fifty cents scrip

the exhibits, but if one wishes to remain a
week only, he may perhaps find it to his
advantage to take a general survey the
first day and after that close with his spec-
allies.
