”3‘ guns us an air line through to Boston.
Its vast importance to Norwalk and Nor-
walk interests, should command for the pro:
jcct our most earnest endeavors. So impor-
tant do we deem the matter, that while we
would not lose sight of the Derby and State
Line project or relax a single effort for the
construction of that much needed and uni-
versally demanded road, we would eagerly
aid our interior friends in their new and dc-
st-rt‘ing effort for improved facilities in reach-
ing the seaboard and the great commercial
mint of the western hemisiphere wither all
trade and business concentrates. We ear-
ncsily invite our citizens to take the new
maps and trace out this proposed line, and if
at lull l‘amilir with the section of country
tlu'ough which it is proposed to pass, they
will be surprised at is feasibility. We con-
sider the project of such grave consequence
to Norwalk. that Wt: republish the conclu-
ding pOIiinlls of Mr. Plumb‘s communica-
tion. He says: “The whole distance from the
best information, is, just about 45 miles. It
is nearly an air line lrcm Saugaluck, West-
11-31510 Walter‘s Farm School House, dis-
distance by accurate survey, just twenty
miles, then bearing in an easterly direction
and following the half-way river to Zoar
Bridge three miles, then northwesterly fol-
lowing the Housatonic to Bennett‘s Bridge
six miles, then northeast to Southbury four
miles, to ‘i’t=c.,‘.hur_v four miles, and Water-
town six miles, making from Saugatuck to
Watcrtown torty—two miles, or from Nor-
walk [25 miles. Watcrtoum is aplace of con-
siderable wealth and enterprise and Wood-
bury is but little, if any less, while the‘towns
of Morris, S~uti2bury, Oxford, Newtown,
eastern part of Monroe, Bedding, eastern
part of Easton, \‘t’cstporl,aud a part of Wes-
ton would give a share of patronage. Thc
Heusatonic .tivcr is destined, no doubt, to
become one of the greatest water powers in.
New England. The dam which is being
built at Birmingham will back water near up
to Zoar Bridge. At this place it is very suit-
.able for the erection of another dam, having
advantages equal to those of Birmingham,
and at Bennett’s Bridge the some advantages
present themselves of fine locations for
manufacturing villages. Watertown is six
miles distance from Waterbury, the nearest
point of communication, while Woodbury
is some ten or twelve miles distant and
Southbury eight miles. Watcrtown, by the
way of Waterbury, to Norwalk is fifty~two
miles, by the proposed route seven, miles
less. The grade most of the way. is very
light, and in no place will the grade be very
heavy. There are many considerationsin
regard to this proposed route, many more
than I have named, which should make it.
of. great interest to the public so that the
enterprise might succeed.”

This new cstablislnncnt whose imposing
edifice has just been completed at South
Norwalk, and which has excited such a va-
riety of expectations and comments the past
year, commence operations tO-day. It has
an engine of enormous power. The build-
ing is one of the most capacious in town,
and the way in which steam pumps and
steam engines will be launched into existence
we expect will be a wonder and delight to
its large and most respectable body of stock-
holders. Success attend this and every oth- _
er incoming hive of industry and wealth.
Norwalk opens wide its arms for all such
and offers facilities for both large and small
manufactorles second to no other place in the
country. Only let. our people build houses,
that our fast augmentingfpopulation may
have places in which to live, and our success-
ful advancement is assured. Then let the
Connecticut Legislature abandon its disgrace-
ful dog in the manger policy, of preventing
us constructing a new railroad to New York
which can and will transport us thence in a
single hour, and no man, however stimula-
tedhis brain may be on the question of real
estate and building lots, can begin to foretel
the result of our growth and dcvclmmcnt.

WIIA'I‘ JonNsON WILL no.-—The Boston
Post (coppcrlicad) is “Andrew Johnson’s
mouthpiece. Its Washington correspondent
says that J Ohnsou ina recent interview with
him, stated he should change his entire Cali
not before Congress meets—that if Congress
undertakes to suspend him from the exercise.
of presidential authority while the impeach-
ment trial is progressing, he will “resist with
all the powerswhich the Constitution fur-
nishes for its own protection and preserva-
tion.” To a suggestion of regret that Gen.
Sherman had gone west, Johnson promptly
replied, “I can assure you that Gen. Sher-
man will be here between the 10th and 17th
of November, and in ample time for the dis-
charge Of any duty, however responsible,
which may devolve upon him."
Andrew Johnson will as miserably fail in
his attempts at Intimidation, as he has in his
wretched “policy." Pigmies,snarlers,traitors
and cowards may attempt to arrest and hold
back the onward progress of the American
people, but they will only be crushed to pow— '
der if they get in the way of the nations will.
A people so mightyliu its purposc,that it can
sacrifice three billions of treasure and give
its first born to be slain, rather than yield its
conviction of duty to God and to mankind,
is not to be thwarted in the attainment of its
high destiny by the feeble revolts of a fee-
blcr President. ‘

As for the night watch, there is no money

that one watchman would be sufficient for
that duty and we confess we had entertained
that opinion ourselves until better informed
upon the subject. We are notified that two

0n]- Borough Election.
We earnestly commend to the thoughtful,
property holders,'living within our Borough
limits, a careful and candid examination
of the tickets :placcd Delete the two re-
spective political parties on Wednesday last.
We more particularly invite the scrutiny of
our democratic friends,- because it has become
a matter of common report, from their caucus
was conducted. That less than four score
men, in a caucus claimed by members of their
owu party to have been irregularly called,
east over a hundred votes, in selecting candi-
dates to go upon their ticket. There may
not be anything surprising in the introduc-
tion of the New York city and Tamany Hall
systems of caucussing here, but. we rejoice in
believing, that there are manycitizens of the
Borough of Norwalk, who vote the democrat-
ic ticket, who as strongly reprobate these dis-
honorable trantactions as we do. The tree is
neverless known by it's fruits. Water does
not rise higher than its level, and we in all
kindness suggest whether the fruit of this
transaction is not variously discernable in the
ticket put in nomination. We have no objec-
tions to urge against any individual member
of that ticket, and have no right to urge any
against whomsocvcr the democracy choose to
nominate and elect. If we must have a dem-
ocrat for Warden, no better man than Mr.
Fitch, could be selected. Always sincere,
honest and impartial he will execute the du-
ties of his position as unselfishly as any man.
Can this be said of all of his colleagues?
We publish the tWO tickets entire that every
one may make the comparison. We are not
responsible if in this instance, “comparisons
are odious.” We have no disposition to scold
the democracy, however, for within rifle shbt
of the polls we counted over ninety Republi-
can voters who never appeared there, while
the enemy swept the board by less than forty
votes. There is an undoubted Republican
majority in this borough and if our friends
are determined to let things run on until they
become unbearable before turning out and
voting at a Borough election, why we can
stand it as long as any. Henry Selleck, Esq,
was, by chance, chosen one of the Burgesscs.
He has our commisseration. It was no slight
event to find a considerable body of Irish
democrats opposing the successful ticket on
account of its distinctive aroma of whzskey
and whiskey vending. It was the most hope-
ful sign ever made by any portion of that
party in these parts.
This election tested another principle also.‘
Prior to the nomination of Town ofl‘lcers by
the Republicans, many democrats of the bet-
ter sort, expressed an earnest desire that the
usual strict adherence toparty nominations be
omitted,pledging their best endeavors to have
the democracy reciprocate any favor shown
them, when its Borough ticket was made up.
The Republican Caucus respectfully consid-
ered this appeal, ourselves and others earnest-
ly advocating it, and two of the most vitally
important Offices, to the tax payers Of the
town, were left vacant for the democrats to
elect men of their own choosing. Mr. John
A. Weed was thus chosen Assessor and,Gco-
E. Smith member of the Board of Relief.
What is theresult? Just what every Repub-
lican supposed it would be. Not: that ‘we
doubted the sincerity of those democrats who
made the request. They undoubtedly would
have been glad to have carried out the agree-
ment, but so demorallzed has the rank and
file of that party become, that they couldnot
help themselves, when convened in caucus to
nominate a ticket.
The case is made actually shabby and
mean by the rejection of Mr. A. H. Camp as
Ch'ef Engineer after he had received the
unanimous nommatim of our File Depart-
ment, composed of Republicans and Demo-
crats alike, and a request made to both cau-
cusses by the department. The office is not
a party one in any sense,and had a request
come to the Republican caucus from the
Firemen to nominate the young gentleman
chosen, we_know and the democracy know
it would have moat cheerfully been accorded.
The conclusion of the whole matter is, that
the once great democratic party has proved
untrue to itself, untrue to the country, un-
true to all that isjust and good, and there is
no help, or health, or reliance, or truth in it.
As a political organization it ought to be
buried out of sight for it has long been in the
cOndltion Lazarus was in when the Saviour
appeared at his tomb.

en men, including himself, at work for Mr.
Tweed on the 9th of Oct.,1867.
Re direbt by Mr. Hoyt: All Of these men,
except Hugh, Peter and Riley were picking
apples with witness in the field on that day;
Hugh and Peter were at work near the shed
and had access to it. .
MISS KATE WALLACE testified that she was
the daughter of Mr. W., and that she poured
the coffee from the pail into the bottle for Dr
Mead; the bottle was clean; she rinsed, it
out. (Bottle containing coffeewas here pro-
duced and identified by witness.)
Mus. ELIzABETn WALLACE, testified that
she was the wife of Mr. W; that he came
home on the afternoon of Oct. 9th, looking
very sick; he was bent over and could scarec-
ly straighten himself up; she went for the
Doctor who came about 7 or 8 o’clock; he
discovered something swimming around on
the surface of the coffee; some coffee was
placed in the bottle and given to Dr. Mead;
(she identIfied bottle.) described symptoms
of Mr. W. at some length. Her cross-ex. re-
vealed nothing important.
DR. SYLvns'rEn MEAn,being sworn testifi-
ed that hc had been a practising physician,
and had a drug store in Greenwich; was
called to see Mr.Wallaee on the 9th October;
his countenance was shrunken, his skin was
cold, wet, clammy; his pulse was irregular,
intermittent,feeble and almost imperceptable;
he complained of nausea, a pain in the bow-
els and a cramp in the limbs; there was a
pcculiarlook on his face that physicians un-
derstand, a Hippocratic appearance ; the cof-
fee was shown me: I discovered globules
floating on the surface; I took one of these
globules in a spoon and found it oily and
nuctuous; I smelled of it, and tasted it, and
found it to be Croton oil.
The examination was here adjouned until
Friday 18th inst, 10 1-2 O’clock, a. In.
On the 18th inst., the examination of Dr.
Mead was resumed. He recapitulated the
symptoms exhibited by Mr._Wallacc. 4 In his
judgment these Symptoms were occasioned
by Croton Oil; this article was a vegetable
production, a drastic purgative; it produces
death in extreme cascshthe ordinary dose
varies from 1 to 5 drops; the coffee contained
a large quantity,otherwise the two swallows
taken by Mr. Wallace would not have pro-
duced such effects; Hugh Murray purchased
sometime before the 9th of October, a large
quantity of Croton Oil at his drug store; .he
purchased two drachms ; this was 50 medium
doses; it filled a bottle an inch and half or
two inches long; Mrs. Wallace brought the
pail to me, containing the coffee from which
the bottle was filled.

tified that}: :2.- :.ed the “castle gate,”
and having gazed ...~.~ last at the beauties of
this world, had laid down and given up his
soulto his God. But seemed that he reconsid-
«ered his determination. Will was stronger
than physic; and tO-day we saw the gentle-
man swe‘aring to his opinions as to the med-
ical propricties of Croton Oil. He could un-
. : r53
tion
nit-
derstand the effect intended to be produced-
upon this excited community,by this pathet.
ic declaration of Mr. Wallace. But this
farce had gone far enough. There was actu-
ally not the slightest proof to connect. Peter
with either of the attempts upon Mr. Wal-
lace’s life. Mr. W. had himself testified that
they had always been on pleasant and har-
monious terms. Where was the motive for
this crime; this blood thirsty attempt by
these bold, bad men upon the life of Wal-
lace? Croton oil at worst was but a power-
ful purgative, and if Mr. Wallace had in re—
ality suffered from its effects it must have
been given him as a practical joke. What.
reliance could be placed upon the testimony
of Dr. Mead? this village apothecary,phyii-
cian, druggist and expert. He must be al-
lowed to differ from the opinions of Dr.
Hoyt, although that gentleman hadafame
and a name, as bread as the Commonwealth.
He urged that having failed toprove the cor-
pus delzctr' ; having failed to connect Peter
with either of the alleged crimes, the prose-
cution would scarcely have the assurance to
ask that he be bound over, and he certainly
thought thatin the hands of the Justice he
might expect the acquital, of both of the'
prisoners. In conclusion he would say to
the prisoners in the language of the com-
mon law “God send you a sale deliverance."
Mn. Hov'r, on behalf of the prosecution,
referred to the deep feeling in the communi-
ty, caused by the enormity of the crime and
the respect that was entertained for the high
character of Mr. Wallace. He was glad that
in a charge so serious as this the prisoners
had been allowed every opportunity to‘vindi
onto their innocence. Eminent counsel had
been retained by them, who had spared no
effort for their acquittal. The first proposi-
tion of the prosecution was that this court
was not here for the purpose of convicting
the prisoners, but simply to ascertain wheth-
er there was’ propable ground for believing
them guilty. It was not necessary that the
evidenCc introduced on this examination
should be such as would convict the prison-
ers, fora conviction was to be had only on a
legal certainty; a binding over was to be
granted on probability. The defence denied
that erofou oil was poison,and held that Mr
Wallace had not been poisoned by it. It ,
was difficult to see from what portion of the
evidence they had gleaned these interesting
facts. It appeared on the contrary, from the
testimony of two eminent physicians, that
croton oil had been known to produce, from
over doses, fatal effects. Mr. H. here enter-
ed upon an examination of the medical qual-
ities of the oil. The symptoms 01 Mr. Wal-
lace were identical with those proved to ac.
company poisoning by this Oil. He was sor-
ry to see the attempt that had been made to
throw ridicule on Mr. W’s statement that he
laid down when he reached the gate, expect-
ing to die, It did not appear to him to be a
subject for jecrs and gibes. The defence
were welcome to all the benefit they might
derive from that. That the prisoners had
croton oil in their possession on the day of'thc
poisoning was incontcstably true. What
had they done with it? Had any explana-
tion oi'the object for which it. was purchas-
ed, or the uses to which it had been applied,
been furnished by the prisoners? Would
they remain silent under charges like these
if they could account for this oil on any the-
ory consistent with the hypothesis of their
innocence? They hadtraccd the poison in-
to the possession of Hugh, it next turned up
in the coffee of Mr. Wallace. Was it not
plain who placed it there? Of the seven
men at work for Mr. Tweed on the 9th 01 Oe-
tober, all but three were in the field away!
from the shed.
