If We had no thought or wish for the
growth and prosperity of Norwalk, it would
be to us, (as it must be to many others) a
source of much amusement to listen to. lhc
absurd objections conjured up in- opposition
to the city charter. For instance, at South
Norroalk, the people are picusly assured, that
the present Borough of Norwalk will, on cy-
erv occasion, ouleote them, so that they will
be simply a dangling tail to the blaznig city
comet the Bridge is desirous of becoming,
and furthermore, and most horrible of all, the
present Borough having been reckless and
extravigant beyond all endurance, South
Norwalk‘is to be chained down and her citi-
zens taxed to liquidate this indebtedne=s—a
statement too absurd to be noticed, were it
not that many intelligent men have been
lllilde to believe it despite the legal impossi-
bility of imposing such a debt upon any one
beyond the present limits. Here at the
Bridge, we are oracularly assured, that South
Norwalk hasno street lamps, no side-walks,
no Engines and fire apparatus, and just as
soon as she is incorporated with us “all these
things are to be added unto her" at the ex-
pense of taxes imposed and collected at the
Bridge. We rejoice to know that our demo-
cratic friendsare the ones who indulge in a .
monopoly of these absurdities and falsehoods-
Tlicir motives are too transparent to need
refutation. We had hoped to see this move- .
' ment bereft of all partizan manipulation-
We wished (and we know a large majority
of leading Republicans concccd with us) to
see a citizens‘ ticket, embracing the best men
of of both parties, selected for their fitness
and willingness to serve the public gratuit-
ously.
The city charter is proposed for no mans
agrandizement or profit—solely and simply
for the greatest good for the greatest munber,
We have no Fernando Woods’ here, even
in the democratic party. Ari Alderman and
Councilman will undoubtedly be chosen with-
in certain prescribed limits, who will be ex
peete'd to hear the complaints and attend to
the wants of his immediate constituents for
no other compensation to himself, than the
conscienciousness of doing what good he can
for his locality and his people;.while the pub-
lic secure the advantage within each ward,
of having all local needs attended to without
delay or difficulty or the intolerable nuisance
of calling “Town Meetings" which rages ‘at
times, worse than scarlet rash or measles
among children.
It is not expected to overturn the town,
pave the streets, or even to demand flagged
sidewalks, but it is intended to do what will
sooner or later have to be done, and that is to
cause such a graveling of our walks, that our
large population can walk our streets at all
srasons of the year and at all seasons of the
year and at all— states of weather without
stumbling over boulders, sinking in mud, or
resorting to life preservers to keep from
drowning. Itis idle to assert that the taxes
(which are dreaded here in Norwalk more
than the pest) may not be a little more tli‘an
at present, to those living without the pres-
ent borough. To those living within the
borough they cannot fail to be less than they
now are and have been in the past. The
simple authority of assessing benefits and
awarding damages upon and lo the parties
immediately interested will greatly relieve such
burdens. There will then be somebody who
can be appealed to, to arbitrate and settle on
the ground questions of cncronchmeuts, nu-
isance and the like, constantly arising in ev-
ery large town. The question of lighting
our streets; of an economical system of po-
lice, to guard thelives and property of our
citizens, not simply to arrest, uflercrimc has.
been committed, as is the present mode,—
are weighty considerations, and ‘worthy of
every good mans approval. '
The paramount desideratum, however, is
WATER! ' How, and in what manner shall
we soonest and in the most effectual way get
a copious supply of WATER for Norwalk and
South Norwalk? These are the oilal ques-
tions involved in the contemplated corpora-
tion of' Norwalk. There is probably not a
merchant or shopkeeper in either section of
the town who is not damaged every month,
more by dust alone, than his entire city tax
and water tax would aggregate. A private
corporation now own the valuable franchise
of introducing water here as a private spec—
ulation. We have been assured by parties
well posted, that this charter would be cheap
at $20,000 to the incorporators, as a compa-
ny investment. Yet it is easy to see, that
such introduction would not be best for the
interests of the people. So introduced, its
lines of pipes would be run only where the
greatest number of customers could be se-
cured. Its rates of charges would be govern-
ed by the ability and endurance’of the peo-
ple who used it, as is the case with the most
of our Gas Companies. Now, tlresc corpo-
rators proffer their charter to the city, free of
cost, even for its procuring, conscious that
the People should own and use it to the fullest
extent. Thus owned, the water would be
spread over every section where consumers
enough could be found to pay the cost 01
piping. Instead of the rules being raised to
it large dividend paying schedule, thepeo-
pie have the power to use it at the lowest
cost. Water should be plentilul as the air
and nearly as cheap, arid it may be, if our
people are only wise in time.
The “opposition" to all these' advantages,
as we have before indicated, is principally
confined to a certain class. A class who
constitutionally oppose all advance, all inno—
vations, all improvement. The History oi
Norwalk is covered all over with the record
of their lost opportunities and advantages.
They learn nothing by experience. Should
government donate a western farm to- each
of these men, they would hesitate to accept,
for fear of a “catch” or “late" lurking behind
the gift. But the numbers of such men here
in Norwalk are “growing beautifully less,”
and the “opposition” to the city charter, (if
it be worthy the name) bears no comparri-
son to that which opposed our Horse Rail- ,
road, but like that opposition is equally in-
telligent. Men of Norwalk !- Can you, will
you, hot UNITE for once, in a movement that
is to benefit and bless all, both now and for
the future, and yield any mistaken prejudice.
if such you have, upon the unquestioned
principle of “THE GREATEST GOOD TO THE
GREATEST NUMBER."

The New Bridge.
The piles-for the new Bridge across the
harbor are being rapidly driven and soon we
shall have a carriage drive around the entire
circuitof the two villages. When this much
needed improvement shall have Income an
accomplished fact, we shall expect to see a i
drive way along the shore from Gregory’s '
Point to eastern base of bridge and thence
perhaps, following the shore, up to the
Bridge and out by Smith’s Pottery. Anoth-
er road, from Water street, through by Pine
Island to South Norwalk is only a thing of
the immediate future. The rapid growth
of Norwalkis assurcd,and all the. combined
powers of old fogyism may elizite the breech-

walk’s onward march to prosperity and
greatness.

Danbnry and Nor-walk Rall-
road.
We made a trip to Danbury last week
over this road, and were gratified, as well as
surprised,to notice the extent toericlr the
relaying of the old, worn out and dangerous
rails had been carried forward. It is well
known that this little road had in years past,
been skinned to the bone in order to pay div-
idends .until a. train could not run over it,
except at the hazard of some broken rail and
an accident, which might have involved half
the capital of the road. It required some cour-
age to “jump a dividend" simply because so
much of the stock is owned by men who pre-
fer a penny nota‘to a dollar next year, but the
thing has been accomplished and the public
and all sensible stockholders will thank the-
powers that did it.
A car now runs through to New York,
every morning and returns every evening, to
the comfort and delight of the passengfi.
A new locomotive is-also to be put upon the
road during the present serrsou.

Annual Meeting of line N. Y. an
‘ N. H. Railroad. ' .
Tire pecple of Connecticut have a large
interest in the result of the coming election
for Directors of the N. Y. do N. H. R. R.—
It is well known what has been the policy 0!
the Direction fot'nrnny years. It is known
that the Board repudiated the stock issued
by Mr, Schuyler and that the Supreme Court
‘decided that thegBoard acted unwisr-ly ginr‘
unjustly. The error committed by the Born.
in this matter has cost the Stockholders of
this road over one million dollars, besides
the vast amount of nroney expended for fees
to lawyers and costs, consequent upon litiga-
tion. Some of the Stockholders, at the time
of the Schuyler fraud were opposed to the
action then taken by the Board and still en-
tain the same opinion; and as they still have
a large interest in the Road, are unwilling
that the men who have made "such grave
mistakes should continue in the direction.—
While the stockholders, who now seek to
change the direction, have the highest re-
spect for the gentlemen who compose 'the
present Board they are not willing to en-
trust so large au'interest to men; 'howe'ver
high their social position, whose policy has
been so detrimental to the pecuniary inter-
ests of the owners of the Road.
Those who propose to change the present
direction are large 'owners of the stock, and
daily travel upon the Road, and from. their
own personal observation know thatthe pub-
lic are not accommodated, and that numer-
ous orders are issued by the officers of the,
petty annoyances to such an extent auto
make it unpopular and to cause passengers
to seek other routes when possible. Itia be-
lieved that there have been large outlays . of
money which «In not appear in the annual
report, under their proper nameskvizz—Dev
ty)—amounts . expended to procure legisla-
prove, and which,“ expended,should appear
“construction," “other expenses," or- in any
other shape than their true name. .
An examination of the book accounts, we
are satisfied, would disclose very many items-
of expenditure and for large amounts, which
are unnecessary, unwarranted and prejudi-
dorsed by the owners of this valuable prop-
erty, that such vast expenditures should be
covered up under false entries and render-
ings by its servants,the Direoors. ,
The course that has been pursued by the
present Board in withholding a list of stock-
holders from some of the largest holders of
the stock, that they might perpetuate their
own positions against the wishes of" the real
owners of the property, if there was no other
We speak as a stockholder, not for our-
selves alone, but fit many others whom we
know to have, in the aggregate, a very large
past management has only succeeded in tri-
fling with the public patience, squandering
the stockholders money, and generally mis-
managing about everything connected there'-
with. A change is demanded by every con-
sideration of wisdom, economy‘or self pres-
ervation. -No. new Board could be selected
capable of developing so consumate talent
for the destruction of every stockholdcr’s pe-
cuniary interest ashave theold Board. Such
a change in its direction, would do more to
protect its interests and franchises from prej-
udicial competition, than all the paid horde
of lobyists who now throng the state house
at Hartbrd and whose enormbus' fees will be
so prudently rendered in next years annual
Report under the head of “Construction Ac-
count and other expenses.” _ ,
The annual meeting is to be held at New
Haven, on Thursday next, and the owners of
the road, will have an' opportunity of per"
petuating or ending the past and present car-
nival of mismanagement.

summit of Newflcld ridge, where the line is
215 feet above tide water, with a grade of 60
feet to the mile. Tire line descends the slope
east of Mill river and reaches Mill river half
a mile from North Stamford church. Pass-
