Our Next Paper.
We shall delay printing our paper, next

dence Day. We shall then give the latest
news up to the time of going to press. We
wish all of our readers (who have paid the
printer) a pleasant holiday.

The Legislature.
There is a bill now pending before the
Legislature in which every person interested
in the welfare of the South-western portions
, of this County, and more especially every
one owning a dollar in the stock of the Dan-
bury and Norwalk Railroad, have a direct
personal interest. It is the incorporation of
a New York Company to run a railroad
from the Harlem Road at White Plains,
across through Danbury to the Housatonic
Railroad at Brookfield. So far as its trav-
ersed lines sheet the Danbury and House-
tonic roads, it is in efiect a perfect duplica-
tion of the Boston and Erie road, chartered
last year, running parallel to, and in many
cases but a few rods from the line of the lat-
ter. In other wordathe Legislature is called
upon to enact just as great an injustice and
absurdity as it it were asked to charter a
new road from New Haven to New York
via Birmingham and upper Norwalk.
In the construction of either the Boston
and Eric, or of this new bautliug, the busi-
ness of Bethel and Danbury will be inevita-
bly withdrawn from the Danbury and Nor-
walk Railroad. The total amount of this
business, we are assured, is seven-tenths of
the entire transportation over the road. But
in the case of the Boston and Erie road, so
apparent was this infringement upon the
guaranteed rights of the Stockholders of the
_ Danbury and Norwalk road, that it offered
to lease our road, pledging the continuance
of its trains and an annual dividend of six
per cent. upon its capital Stock. An hon-
orable corporation seeking the guaranties
and franchises of our State over those hith-
erto conferred, could do no less—but this
new enterprise proposes to step in between
this guarantee, and while giving the Boston
and Erie good and sufficient grounds for
claiming exemption from the conditions, de-
clines to take upon itself any responsibility
or indemnity whatever, for the ruin of the
business and values of the Danbury and
, ”walk Road, which its construction must
memaW occasion.
What is host surprising of all, is to find
”“an enamowd of this new enterprise.
We (annot account for their support of the
$312“; hrpon any other hypOthesis save
. m... ...,,;'fjf.§'1?fettcnfl tress?
“tied to follow the lines of its present sur-
vey. For it cannot be supposed that they
would “swap" ofi‘ that great main artery
now traversing the country from New York
to St. Louis in one unbroken chain, for this
“side issue.” We are very confident, (and
we have more than our own opinions to
predicate our judgment upon,) that if this
road now pleading for incorporation be char.
tered, the Boston and Eric will be before our
next Legislature praying for the right to
change its location through Danbury, and
also to be relieved from its condition to save
harmless the investments made by widows,
by women, and guardians for minor chil-
dren, to a larger extent than in the con-
struction of almost any road in the country,
and no one can make reply that such appli~
cation would be unjust. So that we fear our
Danbury friends will in the end find them-
selves in the condition of Bunyan‘s miser in
the muck, should they succeed in their pres-
ent efforts to secure the passage of this bill
authorizing so positive and direct an oppo-
sition road.
Much astonishment was expressed last
year, when the application ofthe Boston and
Eric was before the Legislature, by our citi-
zone, at the want of interest in or care for
the success or fate of the Danbury road,
among prominent citizens of Danbury. In
an article, called forth by this exhibition,
written at the time, we endeavored to show
our citizens that the rivalries of communi-
ties were as fierceas rivalries of busines‘sin-
terests, and that Norwalk men must depend
upon and develop Norwalk resources, if they
would themselves thrive or have the town
prosper. The attitude assumed by our Dau-
bury friends again at this time is but another
demonstration of this position.
Were not a Connecticut Legislature pro-
verbial for its eccentricities we should have
no fear that so gross and palpable an injus-
tice would be put upon its own worthy citi-
zens, (who have in good faith invested their
means upon the implied guarantee of the
State to protect such investments,) to foster
such an alien, if not chimerlcal enterprise.

Our State Militia.
We have been specially interested iniase-
ries of articles upon the above subject, first
very properly printed in pamphlet form, (we
hope in numbers sufilcient for a Wide spread
circulation). The author handles his sub-
ject with the pen.of a master, and the most
cursory review will satisfy any one that he
speaks by the book. This whole subject is
one upon which the general public is less
informed than upon almost any other ques:
tion of popular interest and importance, :and
it needs enucating up to an appreciation of
the subject, and of the necessity of so amend-
ing our existing laws as that our militia sys-
tem .shall not be longer a reproach and an
absurdity. We commend these letters from,
“Militia” most especially to the serious con-
sideration of our Legislature now in sessioa.
Something should be done and must be’
done, at once, it we would save the system
from total extinction. Again we thank the
author for the valuable aid he has thus ren-
dered so essential a branch of the public sale-
ty us our Volunteer State Militia.

A Capital Suggestion“
A correspondent makes a suggestion
which we hope will receive the hearty ap-
proval of every loyal boy who expects to
burn gunpowder the coming Fourth of Ju-
ly. It is that instead of wasting your money
for fire-crackers, &c., that yen contribute the
same to the Christian Commission, to be ex-
pended in buying necessaries for the poor
wounded soldiers who are now languishing
in pain in the Hospitals and in the fields.—
Come, boys, march up to MI. Selleck’s Book
Store and leave your money and your names
-we want to publish them and let the pub-
lic see how many such noble boys there are
in Norwalk.
We furthermore commend the hint- to
“children of a larger growth.”

Bill of Fare, if he could sell such a number
of tickets in advance as would ensure the
success of the enterprise. .We think we saw

and tenderly reared by afi'ectionate and
on her Some of the best educational ad-
vantages. ‘ Some mouths since, she made
the acquaintance of William Handford,
of Boston, a machinist by occupation,
who soon became a frequent visitor at
the residence of her father. It- appears '
that the parents of Miss Leland favored
these. visits, and in due time the young
people became “engaged.” The family, in
their implicit confidence iujthe honor of
their prospective son iu_-la'w, countenanced.
frequent visits to‘ New York theaters and;
other places of amusement,and even per-
mitted their daughter to come With Hand-
t'ol-d toBridgeport on several occasions,
and it was during one of these series of
absences that her win was accomplished.‘
-Handtord sought to hide the shame by
the operation of abortion, and at the same
time tbegnecessity of the actwus zealous-
ly concealed from the knowledge of the
family and friends of ‘ the unhappy girl,
whosucce‘eded in‘hiding‘the truth from
every eye with marvelous secretiveuess.
In the early-part of April. last, she in-
formedber mother-that “Billy ” had invi-
tedher to meet him at Brldgeport, and
”that she should, probably be absent three

it. offered no objection,- and .the. young
girl depapted from the home of her pa-
rents, never more to return It is_ not“
necessary for us to dwell upon the events

the operation .of abortion was 5 performed
by a “Dr."Juques, from. the effects of
which she died,'a'ud her body was sunk in
the Housatonic by means of Welglilsi‘f'hfe’
aforesaid Jaques and his confederate‘s do-
ing the deed. The prolonged " absence of
_ their daughter at length caused inquiries
to be made by the parents of Miss Leland,-
and in time t e whole truth game out.

Mr. Sanford offered an amendment to
the bill requiring all national banks. in

of the act, which was adopted.
Mr. Atkins opposed the bill, as it
,ulade banksresponsible, for. every, coun-
f-ticrféi't notc'tak'c‘lrfiaud it was impossible
aIWays to detect them. He offered an
amendment making bank officers liable
who shall intentionally refuse or neglect
to comply with the plovisious of the act.
Several gentlemen opposed the amend-
ment on the ground that it was unueces
sible for errors inadvertently made.

Mr. Sanford offered. an amendment

purposes, which was adopted. and amend-
ed bill passed.
Mr. Fowler offered a resolution de-
claringiit'to be the duty of the federal
government to' second any movements
for an honorable peace which may be
made by the “ Confederate States.” Mr.
Hodge replied in strong Union terms,
demonstrating from facts, which be pro-

of Oliver Matthews for the exteution of

Motion was made to lay on the table
for printing the minority and majority
reports which the, House refused to do.
After further discussion the report and
resolutions was laid on the table to give
the Chairman. an opportunity to state
the object of the road.~
The resolution proposing an amend-
ment to the. Constitution allowing col-
ored men to vote was taken up. '
Mr. Fairman, of Newtown, moved to
.amend bystriking out that portion of
“theresfolu‘t'ion‘frequiringtthe reading of
‘th‘e' CobStitution '; ilo‘st‘.’ ' i . , ‘
Mr. Pratt, of Norwich, denied that
the people now were better educated
than in 1818. The gentleman from
Milford wished to include ignorant white
men and exclude intelligent black men.
Mr. Nichols, from Thompson, said
that the opinions of the people have
greatly changed within the last year.—
Ithadheen before said that they. were
cowardly-land not fit- for soldiers; all
‘the‘ departments have given testimony
of'their bravery. They have a” double
reason to’ fight, they own it; and we
oughtto give them the privilege of ele-
vating themselves. The roll was then
*cdlled, resulting as follows : affirmative

resolution. . , _.

number of representatives, was taken

, Mr. Palmer, of Montville, thought
that if he and others, 'could argue ‘ it
through hfitwegn .now and the end of life”
‘s‘ession, they would attempt it. But it
oved to fill the blank with
change the ratio, the cities alone in fu-
ture will govern the State. He moved

drew it. '1'"— “ "‘
Mr. Perry, of. .Fairfield, moved to

Mr. Manson was in favor of the amend-
ment of Mr. Perry, and against its in-
definite postponement.

ed a resolution directing the Comptroller
to draw his'order annually for $6,000 for
the maintenance 'of the State Normal

Mr. Morgaasfloffercd an amendment
that $5.000 be appropliulc‘d. , _
Mr. Fo'wler opposed the amendment.
It was‘ impossible to. overestimate the
advantage of education, Connecticut was
an educated State, and he wanted her. to
keep pace with Massachusetts. '
Mr. Adams had uniformly opposed in-
creasing the salaries and expenses of the
State, and While he shoule be pleased to
vote a large amount, he felt it his duty
to go for the amendment. ’ ' '
The debate was continued by Messrs.
Morgans, Cundall, and Allen, when the
amendment was adOptcd, and the ques-
tion recurred upon the original resolution.
Mr. Bennett was not a particular
friend of the institution, although it was
far from his design to go against the in.-
terests of education; but. w’c wanted com
mon same in our common schools, and
most of the Normal teachers tried to in-

The Special order of the day, being the
bill for (”All Art to Encourage the _Erec«
tion and.S‘nppo‘rt of-Water Power Man-
ufactories,” was taken up.
Mr. Sherry, of Norwicb,‘did not think
this would work an injury: against any
person in the State, either farmers or,
other pe0ple.
Mr. Merrell thought the State had
gone far enough in monopOlies. ' The bill
is an unconstitutional one: it is a viola—
tion of that portion which prohibits the
taking of private prOperty without just
compensation. In addition to this, it
may be very unjust towards individuals.
Mr. Hall, of Marlboro,’had never been
in the House before when this bill was
under discussion. The principle of flow-
uge has been one which has been recog-
nized by many of the States. He. be.
lieves it is a constitutional bill, for it
provides fol‘just compensatidn. It must
be passed upon first by commissioners;
and must appear before a just tribunal,
and if anything can be shown against it,
there is a remedy. It is centering busi:
ass in the State by drawing business from
others into this State.
Mr. Chapman, of Hartford, did not
wish to discuss the general-merits of the
question now. His attention was called
to the" bill a few years ago. It? passed
the House once, but a. second thought
defeated it.—It came up again in 1862,
but was defeated, and was continued ;
and last year it was not taken up at all,
which led him to think it Was sleeping
the long sleep of death. ' He never wish-
ed to see this bill become a law, but if it
was to pass, he wanted to make an
amendment, by adding to the 5th section,-
allowing the parties to appeal from the
or Supreme Court, who shall inquire if
this privilege is for the public use, and if
not, dismiss the case with costs. -
The bill as amended Was-passed.
Mr. Chapman said there was not. a
quorum in the House, and objected.
Mr. Day, of Colchester, moved a re-
consideration which was cal'iied. . ,
Mr. Manson moved to ame‘nd'i‘the'
such last mentioned site shall have been
lost or defected by abandonment by non-
use of fifteen years or otherwise.”
Amendment adopted; - _ _ .
‘ Mr. Chapman moved to further amend.
the bill in the second section, which reads
aforesaid,-may‘bring his petition to the
Superior Court,” &c. by inserting be-
tween the words “aforesaid” and—"may
bring” the words “after he shall have
made reasonable and and successful of-
forts to acquire such rights by agreeing
with the owners thereof.”
Mr. Pratt moved a substitute amend-
ment in the same place, of the words ,“if
. ers thereof,” which ‘was accepted, and
passed. . .
_Mr, Chapmanmored further to-amend
eigtl'th‘section by striking out that por-‘
tion which provides that in .case 'the re-
spondent shall move for a jury, and such
jury shallnot increase the damages, he
shall pay costs of applicatio‘nund hearing,
and costs to the adverse party; ameu‘d-
ment passed. . . ‘ -

may be made by the defendant in error,
to either judge of the Supreme Court, and
if after reasonable notice to the plaintifi'
in error of such application, it shall ap-

Mr. Giddiugs offered an amendment
that water be carried through. the cars

One or two important amendments
were adopted, one of which required the

WOne of the most delightful and ele-
gant preparations for thetoiletvwe have ever
seem-is that called by-the iellphonious name
of “Distilled Dew." While we presume in
no respect are our lady readers more partic-
' ular than in the selection of articles for the
toilet, and especially of such as are designed
to beautify their complexion, we are satis-
fied that the most fastidious among them
will not object to using “ Distilled Dew,”
after once giving it a trial. It does not give
the in an artificial whiteness, but imparts
to it the natural whiteness,and clearness,and
youthful bloom and delicacy so universally
admired. We have amplegevideuce of its
efficacy in the testimony Of-‘d-‘Illdy .who as-
sures us she makes lavish use of the “ Dew,"
and whose fair tace'and'neck give convin-
cing proof of its virtue. It is a delightful
perfume, and must prove an indispensable
article on every'lady’sldressing table.
