TEARING UP RAILROAD TRACK.
Those who engaged in the pleasing
diversion of tearing up railroad tracks
in this state have discovered that they
ran against the statutes and made them
selves candidates for Windsor. Mr..
Raymond will find it unpleasant and
dangerous amusement to ignore the
courts and statutes of the insignificant
state of Vermont. But this is all bad
business, and the further it goes the
wider the breach and the longer it will
take to effect reconciliation and a
friendly, successful operation of the two
roads that are, or should be, mutually
advantageous to each other and bene
fetal to the commercial interests of a
large portion of the country. While
the scrimmages are ludicrOus, they are
nevertheless unfortunate, and ought to
be ended at once, for the good of all
concerned Barton Monitor.
REPEAL THE BANKRUPT LAW.
The administration of this law has
become so entirely mercenary and wick
ed that its immediate repeal is the duty
of Congress and necessity of business.
The theory that the property of an in
solvent debtor should be equally dis
tributed among his honest creditors is
well enough, as the world goes. If that
is the theory of the law, it is not the
practice. The assets of the bankrupt
are divided nowadays between the
debtor and his relatives and friends on
the one hand and the members of the
bankruptcy rings on the other. The
bulk of a moderate sized estate usually
goes into the pockets of the marshal,
clerk of the court, register, assignee,
and the attorneys who put the debtor
through
If the debtor is disposed, as most of
them are, to save enough of the estate
to start in business again, no obstacles
will be placed in the way by any of the
officials. Bankrupts usually have more
property after their discharge than be-
fore. The men who get nothing, or al
most nothing, from the bankrupt estate
are the honest creditors, whe deserve it
all. There is no such thing as honest
competition in business with this law
on the statute book. 1t ought to have
been repealed long ago, and would have
been but for the money of the bank
ruptcy rings, so lavishly used in the
lobby to prevent it. We don't know
an honest man who does not say, ere
peal this odious law And we don't
know good reason why it should not
be repealed, and the quicker the better.

in a suit in this state. A bill in equity

Circuit Court for the District of Yer
mont by Robert B. Chisholm of Elgin,
ILL.,, against T. w. Park of Bennington
and H. II. Baxter of Rutland, to recov-
er the sum of 100000, out of which
Chisholm claims that Park and Baxter
defrauded him in the sale of the Emma
mine, of which he was one of the Origi-
nal proprietors. The complainant orig
inally brought suit in New York, but
for some reason dismissed his suit there
and began one here. The reply of the
defendants will set forth that the value
of the mine was greatly increased after
Messrs Park and Baxter became inter
ested in it, by their success in quitting
claim which had before thrown a seri-
Gus cloud upon the title to the mine.
