OUR RAILROADS.
If there is any one thing that needs an en-
tire and fundamental renovation and refer-
mation more then another, it is our whole
American Railway system. The time made,
the inconvenience and fillhlness of most. of
our railcars, are a disgrace to American en-
terprise, energy and capability, to say nothing
of the insecurity to health, limbs and ltle.
A person would as quick encounter scarlet
rash or measles, as to venture upon a Railroad
excursion for mere pleasure. None‘ride upon
our railroads unless impelled “191810 by ne-
cessity or business obligations. Thousands
every year, take the risk of water navigation
on. board our fine steamboat palaces and sail
uphthe sound, the North River and elsewhere
in quest of health and pleasure. No one ev-
er essays such a journey on the cars. Why
is this? And is there any adequate excuse
therefor. We claim not. When the right of
way to any properly organized railroad com-
pany shall be secured by wise and generous
legislation, we shall find that the same com:
petition, will work out on the land, what free
competition has wrought on the waters, and
an entire change of our present unsafe, un-
healthy and defective system of rail travel
will be inaugurated: There is no excuse for
not having ears as comfortable and pleasant
to ride in, as steamboats. And the reason
why they are not so is because of the great
monopoly of railroad interests in this country.
Sloops, were improved to fast sailing yachts,
yachts to steam tugs, tugs to .steambo sis
and steamboats through one gradation of com-
fort and splendor to another, till we now
have on all our great through routes real
floating palaces of luxurious comfort. Com-
petition for passenger travel drove compa-
nies into these improvements and enticements
to secure and retain patronage. Equal com-
petition on land, would accomplish equal re-
sults. Our own fellow citizen, Mr. Legrand
Lockwood, touched the key to the popular
requirement in this respect, when he ordered
the two palace cars for the Southern Michi-
gan road, an account of which, in detail we
published a few w. eks since. In these cars-
a friendly or family party can have a. bed
room or parlor by themselves, as comfortable
and secluded, as if at their hotel. Couches,
lounges, tables and other little necessities for
the comfort of travelers are all supplied.
And these any one can secure at a trifiing
cost above the regular fares. In travelling
thus there is comfort, it is at least cndurable.
Our present system invariably places the pa»
ter familias on one seat, the nervous mamma
in another, while nurse and baby are jammed
into a third at least a rod distant, so that
mother,s neck is nearly twistedgofi‘ in mater-
_ nal solicitude for the child. John and Hen-
ry and Sally and Polly Ann, are variously, if
' not vicariously, allotted seats at the car’s ex-
tremity if luckily not at the end of the train.
And if percbance, or rather inevitably, pins
or cholic gripe baby and he crieth aloud the
whole car is regaled with the outcry of infan-
tile sufi‘ering, while the poor mother goes
half distractedover the screeching of her babe,
and the agonizing consciousness of the dis-
tress her child is causing others. These little
matters are begining to be comprehended at
the West where competition and a generous
public-spiritidness go hand in hand. To
hope for any such amelioration of the present
condition of things, as we have indicated, is
almost hoping against hope, and yet we have
lullh that in the “Good time coming"t;eaen
N cw England and Connecticut railroad man-
agers will see that it pays to incite the travel
of pleasure seekers and parties, instead as at
present carrying none not compelled to ride
on their trains. '
Consider, for an instant, what this New
York & New Haven Railroad monopoly
712in do, if it had the brains and the enter-
prise half equal to the unparalleled monopo-
ly it enjoys. Here it is the whole, sole and sin-
gle line through Connecticut, and draining
cw: y New,England State. From Boston 'al-
if it 911‘- y two great through routes, and soon a
third, will pour all its business into the enor-
.rm’nus maw of this monster corporation at
Mmteflfl'én. Jammed, packed and cram-
MA—
med, the passengers crowd and jostle‘ and
stand upon each other, filling in at every sta~
llul. they pass along‘its entire line to New
York, the great central emporium of an em-
pile. Cars so dirty and illy ventillated, nar-
row and ingeniously uncomfortable, that we
never ride over this road but we are remind-
ed of western cattle cars, where human in-
genuity triumphs in packing the greatest
number of animals in the smallest possible
space; that these impositions upon the trav-
elllllg public wall not be remedied, everybody
knows. Every one of our most pig-headed
Ilegistatorsknow that there is no relief for
the people short of a competing road. The
evns spoken of have grown from bad to
worse each succeeding year and will so con-
tin no so long as its enormous business, year-
ly increasing, is not relieved by a new road.‘
Thus far we have alluded only to personal
convenience and comfort on the trains. Let
the reader now consider, if he can, the vast
advantages our busy and thriving little State
would derive from a road that would run‘
for instance its express trains from New
York to Norwalk in one hour, instead of an
hour andforty-four minutes, as at present.
The distance from Norwalk to New York
by the proposed Derby &. State Line Road is
about 38 mass. Three miles are saved over
the New Haven road between Norwalk and
Portchester—a distance of but sixteen miles.
Then some three or four more mike are lost
by the New Haven road in going directly
out of their way to get on to CommodoreVan-
der'bilt‘s Harlem track, where it is now per-
manently and securely anchored by that sa-
gacious old railroad monopolist, as a rich
tributary to his line. It is notorious that
trains ought to leave New York for Connec-
ticut every half hour ; every hour at the far-
therest. The New;H’aven Company doubt-
less would be glad to run more frequent
trains, but they cannot because they can
only run out when it pleases Mr. Vanderbilt
to grant them the privilege. ’
Out of London trains-are sajsly run at six-
ty miles the hour. There is no reason why
it may not as safely be done on this side
the Atlanfir. An independent, straight line
from here to New York would do it and make
all its stops inside an hour. This would
place Norwalk as near New York as Green-
wich is at present, and it is astounding that?
the people of our State can tolerate the stu-;
pidity or venality of Legislatures that will;
"present the immediate appreciation of our
grand list more than ten millions of doaars,‘
and to that extent relieve every‘tax payerl
now groaning under his burden of- taxation:
We speak not of the general impetus the
building of a new road and the expenditure
in our several totem of large amounts of
capital would give trade‘ln all its depart;
ments. We estimate not the great increase;
of population drawn hither; when trains
shall run every bear out of and into the city;
and with safety and certainty at forty and fif-j
ty miles the hour. We leave all these inev:
itabie augmentations of population, wealth,
enhanced number of manufactories and real.
estate throughout all our interior. to the
judgment of the reader and conclude by ask-
ing where rs the man, be, he stock-holder in.
the New York and New Haven road or not,
that cannot foresee that these vast results
are as certain to follow the construction of
an air line railroad to New York as the sun
is to rise.

mNow that Charles Dickens is weekly
expected in this country to commence his
public readings, his works are attracting
greater interest than ever. Among all the
new editions lately brought, out, the popular
favorite seems to be the Diamond edition
published by Messrs Ticknor & Fields, Bos-
ton. The 8th volume of this edition is “Lit-
tle Dorritt,”one of the be'st of the author’s
later novels. The edition is a marvel of
compactness, beauty and cheapness, and is
meetingrwith alarge sale. Illustrated $1.50;
plain $1.25.

the Young Men’s C.A.will be given on Wed-

ed that no lecture in the course will afford
them a richer treat as to amusement and in-

HvuunrAn.—-Our South Nonvalk friends.
are enjoying a monopoly of brilliant wed-',
‘dings. A i'ew weeks since one of these pleas-
ant occasions was celebrated at the residence
of C. F. Tolles, Esq, where -“all went mar:
ry as a marriagebeil." On Wednesday eve-
ning last, still another of these popular sen-.
sations, so delightful to all hopeful single
ones, was experienced in the marriage of
Mr. A. E. Colfax to Miss Emma M. Knapp.-
The nuptial ceremony-took place. at the Con-
gregational Church, which was thronged to
its utmost capacity by a brilliant company.
The galleries were packed with the bright.
outside world, while the body of the church
was equally well filled with friends of the
parties. Awaiting the arrival of the happy
pair most interested in the event, it was an
exquisite pleasure to cast the eye over the
sea of happy faces present. 0n the eager,
expectant countenances of several fair ones
near us we thought we could read the pa-
thetic lines,
g “ This is the way! long have sought,
And mourned because I found it not."
While here and there a sterner visage,
and especially our Edgartown hero, seemed
to respond, “Here am I," with the variation,
“1 am the way." While unto each yearning
spirit, the good parson sitting and waiting in
silence, continued the invitation :—
“ Come unto me."

frey’s Cordial to the audience.
After the solemn and impressive exercises
at the Church, several hundred repaired to
the residence of the bride’s father, where ‘a
most happy evening was appropriately pass-
ed. A conspicuous and substantial feature
of the happy event were some fifteen hun-
dred dollars worth of silver and other bridal
presents. Friendly greetings and congratu-
lations were bountifully showered 'on pa-
rents and children. Few have launched
, their marriage bark on liie's ocean, more

[S‘ We apprehend that'very few of our
good people are apprised of the dark crimi-
nal record Norwalk has passed up to the Sn-
weeks. It would astonish our sensitive
friends whose nerves are shocked with the
discordant notes of blasphemy,fas they pass
to_ and from the Post Office to listen to the
developments of crime and sin unfolded be-
fore our Justices day after day. Crime is
rampant'among as, sin stalks abroad at noon-
day and we in all seriousness admonish our
people, that if some means are not made in-
strumental with some degree of energy and
alacrity to check the rapid increase of crime,
you will not be secure in the streetsin the
unfrequented hours of night. We are hurrv-
ing on to ‘that blissful state of things, when
citizens will, be garrotted and robbed, and
when life and property are very uncertain :i
seen moving around after evening twilight.
_Are we unnecessarily‘ alarmed, think you l—
Within three weeks, two parties have been
charged with an assault with an intent to kill,
one with committing rape, three with steal-
ing horses, two with , highway robbery, and
two with stealing a large amount of clothing
in midday,beside others with minor offences;
and in each and every case the charges have
been sustained and the accused held to ap}
pear before the higher court. We wonder
not that the State’s Attorney for the. County
should be a Norwalk lav yer, for we imagine
that Norwalk furnishes more than its quota
of criminal business. - ._
These thoughts have been called out by
the trial of two young men for theiving.—-
We have ascertained from one of the _Wit-
aesses in the case, that last Sunday evening
a marriage ceremony was performed in
which the parties particularly interested,
were a young man,:Brrdsall by name, of the
' Silver Mine district, anda damsel of thirteen,
of (the same vicinity. On their wedding tour,
they called upon their mutual friend, Edwin
Hartford and lady,'bolh of whom were like-
wise young in the wedded state, and there
also met Daniel Hartford and wife. The
,Haniord brothers and wives being invited to
join in the bridal party, they set out for Mrs.
Breadhurst's, (Birdsall'a mother) house, and
finding her or her tenant within, left eviden-
ces of their call by ransacking the house and
taking away, (for bridal presents we suppose)
sundry articles of clothing, which upon the
trial were claimed as belonging to Birdsall,
such as shawls, sheets and other articles we
have seldom seen in a gentleman's wardrobe.
Birdsall finding his bridal presents,'—os brid-
al gifts often are—white elephants, dispom
.of them rather summariuly as the man of
scripture did the Lord’s talent, by hiding
them in the earth encased in anapkin, where
ofilcers Bartram and Russell found them se-
curely concealed, entirely free from moth
and rust, and Birdsall and one of the Han-
fords were cruelly torn from their better
halves in the noon-day of their honeymoon
and brought before Justice Hubbell to an-
swer charges of theft. After a long and in-
teresting trial conducted for the prosecution
by l. M. Bullock,Esq.,and for the defence by
I. W. Wilson,Esq., they were adjudged prob-
ably guilty and bound over to the Superior
Court. for another trial. Daniel Hanlord
summarraly abandoned the bridal party and
only awaits the. commands of officer Bart-
ramlto rejoin it. :,- _ .

one of the most wealthy newspaper combi-
nations ever organized in America. . So far
as we understand its purposes and aims, it
will beindependent in everything and neu-
There is an ample field in New York for
such a morning paper. ' ’
The New York Herald, in a column leader
referring to- the New paper,atates the follow-
ing, which, barring the usual Heraldt'sm, we
believe is in the main correct. It says:
“The leaders of {the republican organiza-
tion, in this and other States, have for some
time been rendered-very uneasy and discon-
tented by the erratic course of eir journals
and reputed organsilu this grea metropolis,
particularly their t‘fio. morning dailies, the
Iribune and the trim The Tribune has
been in the habbit «it endeavoring to run/the
republican machine‘wlth all the ridiculous
isms of the day as ifi‘motive power. * *
* * The firms, which has never been dis-
tinguished. for much force of character, has
been continually trimming its sails to catch
every anticipated change of wind, and haul-
ing in its canvas in alarm as soon asit began
to feel the effect of the breeze.
Such being the unreliable, and vacilating
condition of the principal republican jour-
nals in New York, a consultatibn was some
time since held by the leading men of the
party .in, the , city and State, including
United States Senators Morgan and Conltlin,
ex-Mayor Opdyke, William M. Evarts, Mar-
shall O." Roberts, Isiac Sherman, ex-Con-
gressman Frederick A. Conkling, William
H. Webb, A. B. Cornell, S. B. Chittenden,
‘ Amos R. Eno, William T. Blodgett. and oth-
_ers of equal prominence, which has led ,to‘ an
important financial combination, by which it
is proposed to establish a new republican or~
gun in the metropolis, on a'secure basis, free
[run the erratic propensities of the Tribune
and the jumping-jack peculiarities of the
Times. The gentlemen who have undertak-
en this enterprise, haviug secured the co-Op-
eration of the President of the Broadway
Bank (which institution enjoys the large
profits of the city deposits), have agreed to
subscribe the following sums to commence
operatioas:—Mesers,-F. A. Palmer and Mar-
shall 0. Roberts, twenty thousand dollars
each ; Messrs. Morgan, Conkling, Opdyke,
Sherman, Webb, Evarts, Cornell, Blodgett,
Eco, Murphy, Chittenden,_Butler, McMartin,
Blake and Cowden,ten thousand dollars each.
' died thousand dollars, which will be doubled
if necessary to c'ai’ry out their purpose. They
have‘purchsed Tammany Hall, entirely re-
modelled .the building, and made arrange-
ments to issue a morning paper, to be called
. the Ihlaoraph, and to‘ commence its sale at
two cents a copy, subject, of course, to such

nized republican Organ in the State of New
York. ~ -
This importarit political enterprise is back-
_ed by a large majority of the leading men of
like republican pany. The first movement
made by the contemplated new organ was to
apply to the old Associated Press, for the
privilege of purchasing their stale, sterotyped
reports. Fortunately for the parties interest-
3ed,tbey were positively refused admission in-
to the Association, principally through the
jeulouay,alarm andnarrow-mindeduesa of the
ffiibuno and Irina. Since their application
was rejected a number of persons connected
with the prose and the telegraph lines have,
we understand, formed a new and live asso-
ciation .for the collection and saleof news.
the absurd restrictions and selfish regulations
which characterize the old Association—of
which we are a member-and have charter-
ed their company under the laws of the State
of Connecticut, with a capital of one hun-
dred thousand dollars, to be increased to one
million if necessary or desirable. The stock
first called for has been all subscribed, and
,the new and vigorous re ublican political
combination to which we‘ve alluded has
taken a large interest in the new news asso-
ciation, and will back it with its capital and
influence. It is probable that Dana will be
, the President of the IndependentAssociuted
'Press, while its management will be in the
,hands of D. H.-Ct‘alg,who is about to make a
. Western journey tolcontract withsuch pa-
pers as may d sire to secure their news from
the new association. _
These two. impoftant undertakings will to-
gether work a complete revolution in a doub-
~. ile direction : on the one hand, in the news-
' paper enterprise and the manner of procuring
news, and, on the other, in the political situ-
ation of the country. The new republican
organ will secures bettercluss of news than
its;old .purtymivaht can obtain, and soon take
‘ with .it, in its new. association, the most im-‘
portantjonrnals of the Union; while, in a
political point of view,.it will create a pro-
found sensation and have a powerful cfi'eet
