Too Much Officer.

Editor Rutland Globe In these. days
of civil service and general reform agila-
ton, it is often stated that "there has been
too much postmaster in politics" for the
good of the government service and the
best interest of suffrage, which should be
free and untrammeled. May it not also be
that, in some towns and cities, there is too
much officer for the public good, and the
highest realization of the results of law
and order and decency in the community
1t has been thought by many people in
Rutland that, for some time, the town has
been inflicted with too many officers de-
pending solely upon the unfortunate and
disturbing conditions of society for liv-
ing. In the enforcement of the prohlbi-
tory liquor law it has often seemed that
the costs were the chief stock in trade
among the officers, for whether the offend
ers went to Jail or to the poor-house, the
state of Vermont wasa good AID sure pay
master. If man somewhat intoxicated
is quietly walking along the street
and an officer follows him, overtakes
him and commences parley that
results in boisterous talk, arrest aud prose-
cution, which is the disturber of the peace,
the man or the officer In the case of the
Scanlon boy who was arrested at town hall
Friday evening and fined for disturbing the
public peace, l wish to ask who were dis
turbed the most, the officer Ut the public ?
A man who acted as usher at the hall and
took tickets at the door the last part of the
evening informs me that he heard nothing
of any disturbance and did not know OF the
arrest till he saw the item in the paper next
morning. If the boys had been ordered to
leave the hall would not that have been
sufficientP
Was there sufficient cause to warrant the
Imprisonment of the boy and bjecting his
mother, poor woman with an invalid
husband, to tina payment of a fine and a
bill of costs to be divided between the JUS
tice and officer do not say that the de-
sire for fees has a tendency always to in
crease provocations for arrests and prose-
cutions, but do FAY that when prosecu-
tions and arrests cease the main occupation
Of officers and criminal justices is gone.
Let us have peace and good order, but l
think that can be secured with lees hungry
officers and less tax on the community.

Railroad Matters.

Brattleboro correspondent of the Bos-
ton Journal says railroad matters continue
the uppermost theme of conversation and
discussion, and the BTattleboro and White
hall narrow gauge project is being pushed
with good deal of energy. The action at
the town meeting last Saturday, must be
substantiated by the signatures of major
ity of the voters and of the grand list. The
commissioners appointed 10 carry out this
ordering of the law are working as rapidly
as possible. That they do not find it quite
as easy as sliding down hill is evident, but
learn that they are succeeding very well.
Some of the names that sentinel large
figures in the grand list are still withheld,
but it is confidently believed that most and
perhaps all of this class will eventually sur
render the coveted sign-manual. 1t is use
less to deny that there is considerable OBJ
lection to the road and very bitter oppo-
sition to bonding the town, from an ele-
ment that cannot be dsregarded. Before
the decisive vote at the town meeting,
Colonel Waite explained its character brief
ly and clearly, so that every ballot might
be cast intelligeDtly. The sound of his
voice had not died away when one of our
largest and wealthiest farmers sprang to
his feet and cried eXcitedly, Eyes, gentle
men, l hope you all understand; if you
vote yes you leave this hall in bondage if
you vote no you go home freemen !"
1t may be fairly Judged, however, that
this opposition is largely factious and of a
kind that will gradually melt away before
the stern logic of facts. II certainly seems
clear that Brattleboro has reached a turn
ing point in its career, and that the success
or failure Of this railroad project will de-
termire pretty surely whether its future is
to be progressive or retrogressive. The
same is true in greater or less degree of
Windham county at large and the towns in
the the West river valley especially. 1t is
to be regretted on many accounts that the
necessary $4,000 from this town could
| not have been raised by subscription, but
there are two sides even to the desirability
Of that. The effort to do so was honestly
made, however, and only $4,000 was
pledged as the result Of the hardest kind Of
work.
While the great question is pending we
watch with interest the movements of the
Connecticut River road, which now virtu.
ally controls the Vermont Valley road,
hence to Bellows Falls and the Ashuelo,
road, from South Vernon 10 Keene, thus
rather cutting into the prestige of the Cen
trail Vermont.

Mr.. Gait, of the British royal commission
on railway accidents, answers in the mega
tive the question, "Does the sum paid in
g compensation by the companies exceed
" the expenditure that would necessarily
" be incurred for the avoidance of prevent
" able accidents"E and bases his conclu-
sion, almost wholly, on the fact that rail-
way accidents do not sensibly affect the
market value of the stock Of such road.
The Boston Advertiser finds that Mr..
Galts theory is confirmed in the fact
that the Ashtabula bridge disaster did
not depress the stock of the Lake Shore
road, or cause greater fluctuation in the
value of its shares, than was the depression
and variation in the value of the stock of
the Michigan Central and the New York
Central roads at about the same time. We
might add-and it may be taken either as q
" striking confirmation" of the theory, or
as showing the absurdi,y of the reasoning
that the accident on the Harlem Exten-
sion road year ago, or the bridge accident
at Pittsford in December, did not sensibly
affect the value of Central Vermont railroad
shares-its stock could be bought just as
cheaply before these accidents as after.

Too Thin I.

In reply to suggestion that Downing
should 60 toWindsor and ascertain whether
Phair is actually the man who rode with
him from Providence to Boston on the
morning of July 10, 1874, the Boston Globe
says that sit has not been deemed expedi-
ent to have Mr.. Downing visit Phair at the
prison. Phair wore a moustache and goatee
when he met Mr.. Downing on the train be-
tween Providence and Boston. 1t is nearly
three years since that event, and as Phair
has been clean shaven most of that, time,
is now, and we presume wears his hair
reasonably short out of Difference to the
fashion at Windsor prison, it would be diff
ficult for Mr.. Downing to, identify him.
Mr.. Downing fully identifies the picture Of
Phair as he looked at the time of meeting
Furthermore, brother-in-law of Phair's,
a lawyer, who made memorandum of the
account Phair gave of his Providence trip,
soon after he was arrested, and who now
has his notes preserved, says that Phair
definitely and EXPLICITLY mentioned hav-
ing an interview with a man on the way
from Providence TO Boston, and enumer-
ated many of the points of the conversation
as detailed by Mr.. Downing. AS consider
able has been said about Mr.. Downing, we
will state that there have been forwarded
to the governor, documents TO prove that
he is trustworthy, and that no earthly reas-
on exists why his story in this case is not
entitled to full confidence"

A Decidedly Vigorous Epistlo-Tho Old
"War-Horse" Filled with Amagement
and Indignation.
JEFFERSON, Ohio, April 0.
To u. II. Painter, Washington, d. Co.
My DEAR SIR Your letter of the 9th
was duly received. You ask whether re-
member what | said in favor of President
Hayes in my endeavor to procure his NOM
ination at the Cincinnati convention. / do
remember L, after what has since trans
pired, with Indignation and bitterness of
soul that never felt before.
You know with what untiring zeal l la
bored for the emancipation of the slaves Of
the south, and to procure justice for them,
before and during the time was in con-
gress, and l supposed Gov. Hayes was in
full accord with me on this subject But!I
have been deceived, BETRAYED, and even
Inundated by the course he has taken to
degree that 1 have not language to ex-
press. During the first month of his adj
ministration We find him closeted with
two Of the worst and most malignant
enemies of the colored race that can
be found 10 all that slaved-cursed region,
and there consulting with those Indicators
how best he can put these colored people
under the iron heel Of their most bitter en-
emies, and reduce them to a condition inf
nitely worse than before they were made
free. feel that to have emancipated these
people and that TO leave them unprotected
would be crime as infamous as to have
reduced them to slavery when they we're
free. And for Hayes to do this to the men
who had at the hazard of their lives given
him the votes without which he never
could have bad the power to do this terrible
injustice! No doubt he meditates the de-
struction of the party that elected him.
A contemplation of all this fills me with
amazement and inexpressible indignation.
My only consolation is tina. history in
forms me that better men than ever pre-
tended to be have in like manner been
deceived. Some have attempted to excuse
him by saying that he "means WE'LL" but
hell is paved with just such good inten-
tions. Truly yours, b. F. WADE.

sorrow came to you they sorrowed also.
No matter if they have gone down in the
social scale, and you up no matter IL pov-
erty and misfortune have come to them,
while prosperity and plenty have fallen TO
you-are they any the less true for that
Are not their hearts as warm and tender IL
they do beat beneath homespun instead of
velvetP Yes, kind friends, they are as
true, and tender and loving, and don't for
get old friends.
