Our coal merchants were not very
favorabIy impressed with President
Baughman's conversation while at
this place on his tour of inspection of
the canal last week. His manner and
language used in expressing his opin-
ion of the future of the canal was not
pleasing and encouraging. He declar-
ed the canal would be closed up en-
tirely in eighteen months. That he
had sold one hundred and seventy
thousand dollars worthof the prefer
red repair bonds to the B. & 0. Rail-
road land would sell the other hun
dred thousand to the same company.
Now the points we would like Presi-
dent Baughman to explain are, who
gave him authority to sell those bonds
and what did he do with the money
received from their sale. He said in
his reports that he paid the running
expenses of the canal last year from
the revenues accrueing from tolls, &c.
He made no repairs to the canal and
he hadsno right to pay back indebted
ness with money from these bonds,
and paid none that we know of, then
what has he done with the money he
received from their sale-or did he
receive none. 1t seems to US the
gentleman should be made explain to
the people and tax payers, his CONVEX
sation at this place. Hillidmsport
Leader.

it was necessary to place the regiment in re-

scale. The Eighth Vermont had an eventful
