The Derby and State Line Rail
Board.
Our Legislature is cxl’e'Cl‘fd soon '" “he
-..~Ii"n again upon this mostlmportant meas-
.. : o of State enterprise and advantage. Last
to the charter was voted by a large ma-
' .ril y ill the House, but its defeat was made
‘ ortain in the Senate by one member, who
:13 since received his reward by being made
Brestdent of the New York & New Haven
“ IRiiIroild Corporation. That other and less
creditable appliances were also used for Its
defect, is a matter of common fame. That
vast sums of money were expended by the
New York & New Haven Rolld, is well
known to its stockholders, although the fact.
was attempted to be concealed in its recent
annual report by putting this expenditure
under the head of “Construction account and
other expenses.” It was a knowledge 0‘ ”"5
incl, with other abuses, that led many large
holders of stock at its last meeting to com-
..:inc for the election of a Reform Board of
Directors. But opposition on the part 0‘
:hc New Haven Railroad, it not quite just
and unselfish, was at least to be expecmd
.1110 is mainly its own affair. The transfer,
.‘nowcver, of the Albany lobby system, under
me dictatorship of Cornelius Vanderbilt, to
:hc Connecticut Legislature, is a matter of
‘t’IIOUS consequence to every citizen of the
.Etate and especially to every member of the
present Legislature who values the fair fame
of our good old Commonwealth.
And simply, what are the FACTS involved
in this issue ? They are these: A lan/e 77“"
lowly—intelligent gentlemen positively aver
-NINE TENTHS of the residents of Fairfield
County desire the construction of an interi-
or line Of railroad from Derby to New York.
The large number of passengers, the vast
Amount of freight, warrant its construction.
Eminent railroad capitalists are ready and
anxious to build it. That it would bring
hither from other States residents and manu-
facturers, and greatly multiply the business
mterests of Connecticut no intelligent, man
«lure deny. That it would in five years alter
;:s completion, add to our grand list for tax-
ation twenty-five mr'lltbns of dollars, is confi-
dently affirmed by many of our most cau-
lions and well-informed business men. That
u. will grimly infringe any interest what-
ever is an absurdity too preposterous for ar-
g umentation.
, With all these, and many other advant-
ages not enumerated in its favor, why should
_ there be a dissenting vote in a Legislature
' composed of Connecticut men, intent on pro-
moting Connecticut interests. We presume
there would not he, were it not that that
great New York corporation, known as the
New York & New Haven Railroad opposes
it as a rival. This vast corporation, with its
six millions of capital, owned and managed
in a very large excess of its stock out of this
State ; manipulated and controlled, as by
common report, by Vanderbilt and made at
. least an inevitable and absolutefeeder of his
llarlem Road interests. This whilom child
of the Connecticut Legislature, grown
strong, powerful and arrogant, rises up and
says you citizensof Connecticut shall have no
olher railroad into the city of New York !
life have besought our charter from you and
obtained it. We have built our road through
vour limits wiih foreign capital. We have
always managed and controlled our affairs
out of your State. We simply ask your suf-
:ruuce while we make up our enormous
losses by robberies and mismanagement out
of your travelling people. This 15 ALL there
3-; of opposition to this proposed new road.
Our farmers understand that their market
facilities are to be increased and their lands
enhanced in value. Those eager for an in-
crease Of our population well know that
hundreds of business men who have been
driven out of and away from Connecticut,
on account of the frequent and excessive
raising of the prices of commutation, would
gladly return to us and beautify and build up
our now waste places. Our manufacturers
comprehend that their facilities Of freight
are to be npt only augmented, but rendered
certain in winter months. It was sworn be-
fore last years railroad committee, by a
member of the House, a manufacturer, that
he had himself sufi‘ered a loss of six thou-
sand dollars the previous winter on account
of the inability or unwillingness of the New
York & New Haven road to transport his
cotton, during a suspension of Sound travel.
And every man who travels knows that the
rates of fare on this road are not only emcee-
r-l've, but are such as no corporation would
think of imposing upon a people that did
not supinely yield it the powers and preroga—
tives of a complete and absolute monopoly.
In the- State of New York, the people
have the Harlem, the Hudson River and the
Erie Railroads i0 give facilities of reaching
the great commercial Emporium of the na-
tion, with another road in contemplation on
the West bank of the Hudson. Connecticut
has but a single line and through this mo-
nopoly vortex are not only funneled all her
own people, but the car passengers and
freight of all New England beside l
As reasonably might the company own-
lug some steamer demand of the Connecti-
cut Legislature that the people should be al-
lowed no other means of travel-,—lhat no
other boat should be permitted to compete
for business on the Sound. The owner of
some .asthmatic mail coach demanding at
lhc Legislature's hands a similar immunity
would not be more unreasonable. There is
no truer axiom in business affairs than that
“rompcfttrbn‘is the ltjfe of trade.” Every man,
in all departments Of trade expects it. No
, gloat corporation should whine around a
Legislature of Connecticut to be secured an
immunity‘i'lrpm it. And, Messrs. Legislators,
wccntreat yOlgl) as you would promote the
wealth and préfs‘perity of our Statc,—as you
value her own dnklyour own fair fame, let it
not be that the money lavishly poured into-
thc pockets of a paid lobby, by any corpora-
firm, may defeat what you know to be the
wishes of the people.

A most commendable enterprise has been
started with a view to the purchase of the

has long been a just reproach to this influen-

liberal subscriptions already secured not only
ensure the success of this enterprise but
wipes out any imputation of a want of liber-

[3“ Some complaint has been made,and
perhaps justly, at our indiscriminate con-
demnation of the road repairing about town.
There are places where the work has been
well done, there are others where an unac-
countable stupidity has been exhibited. With
out knowing who did it, we invite attention
to the short piece of repairing done across
the Mott Green running out from the Metho-
dist. Church to the point opposite the resi-
dence of President Isaacs. Also, the old
road leadlng around from Step Hill road, to
the residence Of Mrs. L. M. Stevens, and
more abomniable than all, the road from the
residence of Henry Kellogg, down to the
Union Factory, where a before reasonably
good road, has been so spoiled that it Is near-
I y impassable. This last piece of road need-
ed no more fixing than that over the Bridge,
yet it is heaped up in the centre with sods,
stones and soft loam while the gutters and
walks upon either side are as totally despoil-
ed as it is possible to render llll- III.

Fairs and Festivals.
The Festival season commenced with an
entertainment given under the auspices of
the Sons of Temperance, on Tuesday eve-
ning Of last week, at Norwalk Hall, and for
once, at least, the Sons had more cold water
than they desired. Forty-eight hours of
constant rain was too much for them, and
caused a very slim attendance. Gruman
will hardly be willing to furnish them a new
carpet for the net proceeds of the Festival.
Better luck next time.
The South Norwalk Young Men's Chris-
tian Association opened on Wednesday eve—
ning, and although the attendance was not
very large, the material aid realized must
have been considerable for an entertainment
of this kind. '
The Festival of the 2nd M. E. Church was
held at Norwalk Hall, Wednesday and
Thursday evenings; the weather was fine,
and the attendance large. The children gave
an interesting entertainment each cvenin ,
under the direction of Mr. Haulenbeek. é
delegation was present Thursday evening,
from East Bridgeport, headed by Rev. Mr.
Smith.
Thursday and Friday evenings the Bum-
slde Guards held forth at Ely's Hall, South
Norwalk, rejoicing in a good attendance
each evening. The Norwalk Band attracted
many the first evening, and the festival clos-
ed with dancing Friday night, the String
Band furnishing music. Capt. Crosmon, in
behalf of the company, desires to return
thanks to Judge Butler, fpr a liberal dona-
tion of fine strawberries. ‘
Our up town Y. M. C. A., are holding
their Festival, at Lockwood’s Hall, as we go

Co. G's Festival comes 011‘ at Lockwood’s
Hall, this (Tuesday) evening, and there is no

pleted for an enjoyable evening. For par-
ticulars of the Festival and Strawberry show

The South Norwalk Congregational So-

than the usual Festival,—at Ely’s Hall, Tues-
day evening which will be repeated on Wed-
nesday evening. Among other attractions,
a series'of Tableaux will be given, which
. we anticipate will be well worth seeing.
Phcenix Hose 00. are arranging for a fes-
tival and Hop to be given at Lockwood's

This is the Company’s first public entertain-
ment, and they will make every exertion to
please, and hope to receive the liberal pat-
ronage Of our citizens.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY,
:May Session, 1867.
WIIEREAs, It is known that his Excellency,
the President of the United States, is short-
ly to visit the State of Massachusetts, and
will probably pass through the State of
Connecticut; and whereas this General
Assembly is desirous of manifesting its re-
spect for the Chief Magistrate of the Re-
public; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Senate and House of Rep-
resentatives, in General Assembly convened,
that his Excellency, the Governor, with his
Stafi, is hereby requested to receive his Ex-
cellency, the President, on his arrival in this
State, to welcome him as a guest of the
State, ‘and to solicit him to remain as long
as his arrangements will permit; and to visit
the General Assembly during their session.
The Resolution passed without a dissent-
ing. voice. , .
The “T rustccs of the Fund for Disabled
Ministers" were incorporated.
Resolution to procure a portrait of Gover-
nor Englisb, to be placed in the Senate gal-
lery; passed.
Mr. Gates of Windham offered a resolu-
tion that the Legislature adjourn and take a
recess from the 28th instant until Tuesday,
the 20th of August. He spoke in explana-
tion of it. The business before the Legisla-
ture cannot be done before July; it is impos-
sible. The main reason, however, with Mr.
G., seemed to be the matter of taxation and
the propositions relative thereto. It was to-
bled for consideration.
The matter ‘of the petition of the town of
Ridgefield, for leave to take stock in the
Ridgefield railroad, was recommitted.
The bill to equalize the tax returns from
’ the various towns, in the matter of the ten
per cent. for lists not handed in of non-resi-
dents, was passed. It strikes out the matter
of the ten per cent. altogether; for the rea-
son, that no matter it the owners are not res-
idents in the town, and do not hand'in their
lists, yet their real estate is always th’ere,and
can be equitably assessed, like others.

SOME OF our: COTEMPORARIEs seem to
think that the triumph Of their cause depend-
ed. like tIlc fate of Jericho, upon the amount
of noise made—in these days of refinement
and luxury, an article of real intrinsic merit
is soon appreciated; hence the unbounded
and unparallelled success of PLANTATION
BITTERS. -
This remedy has ever and always been
found reliable. As a gentle stimulant and
tonic appetizer it cannot be excelled. It is
no doubt a sovereign remedy for stomacbic
disorders—for Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint,
and in stimulatinga healthy appetite.

An Effectual Worm Medicine.
BROWN’S VERMIPUGH COMFITS,
OR Worm Lozsuoss. Much sickness undoubtedly,
with children and adults, attributed to other causes
to occasioned by worms. The “ VERMIFUGE Con-
rITs,“ although effectual in destroying worms. can
do no possible injury to the most delicate child.
This valuable combination has been successfully
used by physicians, and found to be safe and sure in
eradicating worms, so hurtful to children.
CHILDREN HAVING Worms require lmmediatc at-
tention, as neglect of the trouble often causes pro-
longed sickness.
SvnTous or Worms IN CHILDREN are often over-
looked. Worms in the stomach and bowels cause
irritation,\vhich can be removed only by the use of
a sure rcmcdy. The combination of ingredients
used in making Brown's “ Vermi/‘uge Comflts” is
such as to give the best possible effect with safety.

PROSPECTS FOII III'SINESS.
Tllc railroad cmllll'ction Ilctwm-Il Omaha and tho
Iinst is now complclc, and thocarnings of the Union
Pacific on thc'scctions already finished for lhc first
two weeks in May were $113,000. Those sectional
earnings as the road progresses will much more
than pay lhc illtcrrston the Company‘s bonds, and
the through business over: the only line of railroad
l)L‘.l\\'t'CII the Atlantic and Pacific must be immense.
VALUE AND SECURITY OF THE BONDS.
The Company respectfully submit, that the above
statement of facts fully dcmonslralcs tho sccuri!y of
their Bonds, and as additional proof they would sug-
gest that the Bonds now offered are less than ten
million dollars On 517milcs of road, on which over
twenty million dollars have already been expended .
—on330nlilcs Of this road tllc cars are now run:
llillg, and tho remainingr 187 miles are nearly
Completed.
At the present rate of premium on gold these bonds
pay an annual intcrcst on the present cost of
NINE PER CENT.,
and it is believed that on the completion of the road
like the Government Bonds, they will go above par.
The Company intcnd to sell but a limited amount at
the present low rate, and retain the right to advance
the price at their option.
