The Las Animas Leader says that
war has again opened between the
Kansas Pacific and Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe 81 that point on
rates to Pueblo and Ell Moro. The
original rate was seventy-five cents
per hundred. The Kansas Pacific,
having e large lot of Trinidad
freight on hand, reduced the price
to fifty cents. The Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe followed by
cutting down to thirtY-five cents.
The x. p. followed, and is now
delivering freightst FL Moro by rail
from Las Animas via Denver and
Pueblo, . distance of four hundred
miles, at thirty-five cents. The
rate by wagon is sixty to eighty
cents, and of course this railroad
rate will have q tendency to drive
tho freighters from the field. Sew
enty car loads consigned to Lad unta,
for wagon transportation, were
transferred the other day from the
Kansas Pacific to the Atchisou, To-
peka: aud Santa Fe to be taken
around by Pueblo at the new rate.

summary
Personal.

On motion OF Hon. Matt Ii. Carpenter
of Wisconsin, A. G. Stafford and Edward
A. Sowles of st. Adams were, on Wednes-
day, admitted to practice as attorneys in
the supreme court of the United States.
Among the Vermonters present at The
seventh annual ladies' reception of the
New England society of New York, on
Wednesday evening, were Mr.. and Mrs.
Elliot G. Condin, C.P. G. Billings, George
w. Cottrell,'' Allen w. Eyarts, Benz. G..
Alvord, Z. w. Stoughton, Mr.. and Mrs.
G. G. Waite, Mr.. and Mrs. L. M. Bates,
Mr.. and Mrs. General Chester A. Arthur.
We hear, through reliable sources, that
DIR. John M. Currier, Of Bristol, Vt, late
surgeon general of the state, intends to
make Castleton his future residence, with
the design OF filling the great gap made by
the departure of DIR. Burton. We have
sympathized with the good people of
Castleton on their loss in DR.. Burton, for
we have always regarded him as gentle
man and a worthy member of the medical
profession. We now congratulate them on
their extra good fortune in securing the
services of man of DR.. Curriers' ability
Ii would be a work of superer0gatiOn to
to say that DIR. Currier has few equals, and
no superior in the profession of his choice.
As man OF culture, with varied expert
ence, and matured opinions, he will soon
get and retain the confidence of the entire
community.

Railroad Taxation.

AT the last session of the state legislature
an act was passed taxing all railroads conf
pleted ten years previous to the passage of
the said act. Just before payment of taxes
was due, the Vermont and Canada railroad
and the committee of the first mortgage
bondholders of the Vermont Central noti-
fed the receivers and managers that in
their opinion the tax was illegal and uncon-
stitutional, and that if they paid it they
would hold them personally responsible,
and shortly afterward Hon. 9. w. Willard,
counsel for the Vermont and Canada rail-
road, procured an injunction of Judge
Smalley, enjoining the payment of the tax.
The receivers have submitted the question
to their counsel for an opinion, and pro-
lopged litigation will I've the probable re-
suit. In the meantime, says tho Free
Press, the towns and villages throughout
the state are quietly waiting for Burlington
to stand the expenses of the litigation.

PRESIDENT ORTON's LETTER
The Telegraph and the Babccck Case


New York, Feb. TO-
President Orion, of the Western Union
telegraph company, sends the following
letter TO the press of this city,
EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH Co.,
New York, Feb. 10, 1861
To Editors My attention has been
called within few days to the press re-
ports passing over our wires from Wash
ington, containing statements to the effect
First-That recent application to the
United States court ut st. Louis, to have
the requirements of one of several subpn-
mas which had been served upon the CON-
pany made more explicit, was really made
for the purpose of preventing the disclosure
of what was considered by me as dam
aging testimony to Gen. Babcock.
Second-That my recent trip to Wash
ington was made upon or in connection
with this business and that while at Wash
ington had admitted that the records of
the Western Union company at New York
and at Long Branch, recently examined by
me pursuant to subpoena, contained mes
sages between Babcock and members of the
ring which show conclusively that Bah.
cock is guilty. Reports containing some
of these allegations have already been pub
lished. deem it due alike to the public
and to private justice to say concerning the
matters referred to in these reports
First-The application made to the court
in behalf of the company, at st. Louis, was
not at the instigation, solicitation or sug-
gestion of Gen. Babcock, nor of any person
acting in his behalf, nor was my trip to
Washington on that business.
Second-No effort has ever been made
by or in behalf of Gen. Babcock to prevent
the company from furnishing all messages
in its custody that had been called for by
process issued from any court, snd all such
have been furnished.
Third-The search made through the
New York and Long Branch files failed to
find a single message covered by the sub
pGna or outside of it, which related to any
of the cases at st. Louis.
Fourth-It follows necessarily that
have not stated TO any person anywhere
that the records of this company contained
evidence conclusive of the guilt of Gen.
Babcock. | have stated in few instances
exactly the contrary.
Very respectfully,
WILLIAM ORION,
The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1876-02-11
The Invitation to the Advisory
Council Accepted.

At the Congregational church, the regu-
lar Thursday evening prayer meeting was
attended by forty-fve persons. The Rev.
]. G. johnson, pastor, conducted the exer-
cises, and read a chapter of the gospel ac-
cording to st. Mathew, and spoke about
twenty minutes on the subject of Chrlsts
ministrations and of the revival spirit.
After prayer and singing, Mr. johnson
opened a letter which he said was letter
of the dismissal of s. b. Pettengill from
the Congregational church at Grafton to
this church. He therefore submitted the
question If Mr.. Pettengill should be &C.
cepted as member of this church. and he
was accepted.
Mr.. johnson produced another letter,
which he stated was from the Plymouth
church, Brooklyn, inviting this church to
participate in an advisory council, to be
held at Plymouth church on the 10Th inst.
Mr.. johnson remarked that it had been
usual to accept such invitations, but on
this occasion he would submit the question
if it should be accepted, and inquired if
there were any who wished to make any
remarks.
Mr.. Z. V. N. HARDWOOD rose and said |
for one am in favor of accepting the invi-
taton The theory OF the Congregational
church union is advisory. When that 8
broken an important link in the union of
Congregationaists is broken. In the pres
ent state of feeling to decline this invitation
might be considered as evidence of dsfel-
lowship. The letter seems to be in good
faith and asking advice on matters of i'm
portance. 1t seems to me that it is best to
accept the invitation, and therefore move
that the church do accept it. The motion
was seconded.
Mr.. S. b. Pettengill said think there
is wrong impression prevailing as to the
number of churches who have declined the
in vitation 1t is stated that about % con-
gregations have thus far accepted. In Yer
mont two have accepted, one has declined
and two have not been heard from. The
Christian Union says that eight-tenths of
the churches heard from have accepted.
The vote was taken by raising the hands
and the invitation accepted.
Mr.. Harwood was nominated as delegate
to the council. He, however, declined and
nominated Mr.. S. B. Pettengill, who was
elected.
MIR. johnson then suggested that third
person be selected in case either he or the
delegate should be unable to attend.
On motion, permission was given the
pastor and delegate to select an alternate il
necessary, when after singing, the meeting
closed with benediction.

The Rutland Library.

Rejoice We lovers of books The Rut-
land library is no longer an alr-dream
vagary, but now thing with sinews, and
has bank account. The first of the fine
art lectures has been so successful that
after paying $3.50 to the Park gallery of art
and providing for all the expenses, not only
of Mr.. Phelps lecture but for the remain
ing five lectures, small sum for library
fund remained, to which every dollar re-
ceved at the remaining lectures will he adj
ded. All who now patronize these splen-
did lectures will have the qualification of
knowing that they are contributing directly
to the establishing of the Rutland library.
