The next Connecticut Legisla-
tii rc,--Railroads and Bridges.

In contempt of the enlightened civilization
of the age, Connecticut, of all the States,
has year after year sent to her Legislature
men who as persistently voted down every
Railroad or Bridge scheme, as if they were
both unmitigated evils to be abolished or
suppressed. It ‘3 no exaggeration to affirm
that in direct on ya of money and enhanced
values of real estate, Connecticut has driven
out from her- borders over two millions of
dollars within half a dozen years. Shall this
illiberal and suicidal policy continue ? Shall
New Haven go into convulsions because
Hartford essays encouragement to some new
Railroad route or other public measure, or
shall Hartford. break out allover in a scarlet
rash. because New Haven desires some good
thing ? Shall hundreds of thousands of poo-

' pie who do and will continue to ride in rail
Hears, be deprived a Bridge across some navi-
gable river, because a steamboat or sailing
craft may transport _a few scores of passen-
gers? Shall organized railro ad corporations,
begging thepoor privilege Of quadrupling
the value of every acre of land within three.
miles Of which it passes, and; of paying out.
millions of dollars in money to our now
sorely pressed laborers and artizsns,be denied
the opportunity of enriching our State and

our people ‘3

,For the next three weeks the varioustowns
in the State will be engaged in the selection
Of representative men as candidates for our
State Legislature, We entreat our friends
everywhere, and of both parties, to select
only those known to entertain modern and
civiliz:d views upon these matters. Let no

man be chosen who can either be corrupted
by existing monopolies o‘r bamboozled by the
cant and sophistries of their paid attornies.

The cry of “vested rights” is a humbug so
flimsy that it has long since been exploded
in every State save New Jersey and Connec-
ticut. Let not the shame of its old .time
maintenance longer tarnish the fair fame of
Connecticut. How ridiculous and absurd

Would that cry appear emenatiug from a

Bank, Insurance, or Manufacturing. Compa-

ny. As well might one Storekeeper or one

newspaper editor avow the principle that
because 01 its establishment there should be
none other in competition. Yet our railroad
_ monopolies set up the claim that they must
. be exempted from the competition that regu-
lates business and the laws Of trade in every
other department of known enterprise. Con-
necticut is a' small State, but there is too
much narrow and selfish locality legislation
carried forward every year. It is time it was
stopped. 'We should accept the truer axiom
that what aids one section of the State en-
hances the general prosperity and the inter-
ests of all sections. Moreover, new lines of
travel and every increased facility therefor,
is of direct and positive advantage to the
tax-paying individual in the influx of popu-
lation, capital and enhancement of values.

Look at the thousands of persons doing busi-
ness in New York who might have been re-
tained here or invited here as citizens of this

“county, could a charter for a second railroad
' have been obtained of a Connecticut Legis-
lature, and such a competition maintained
as wouldhavc saved them and us from the
grasping avarice of Cornelius Vanderbilt,
who now owns the controlling interest in the
only line of road running through Connecti-
cut to the commercial metropolis of the
world. .
We entreat that the legislature of 1868,
however constituted politically, shall be
above and beyond the crime of fighting
away capital, population, factories, and
workshops from our borders. Lawyers will
swarm the lobbies and paid retainers will
bore ‘and press their clients arguments upon
our Legislatures, but we hope this year men
will be selected in advance, who are ssinea-
pable of being befooled as they are of being
corruptly plied, and as liberal in their views
as lhey are enlightened and public spirited.
On Our outside we devote much space to the
general question of Railroads, and invite a
careful reading of the several schemes.

Distresslng Accident at Darien.

Messrs. William Hobbie and Leonard Sam-
mis, the well-known Blacksmiths at Darien,
were returning home from a school meeting
last Friday evening, and while walking up
on the railroad track east of the station, they
noticed the Boston Express Train coming
down. Stepping on the other track they
were instantly caught up by the Express
freight train, whose approach they had not
noticed. Mr. Hobbie was killed instantly,
while his companion, Mr. SammiS. had an
arm and leg broken and Otherwise danger-
ously injured. Mr. Hobbie was a man high-
ly respected and a most faithful and skilful

mechanic.

ANOTHER FATAL R. R. ACCIDENT—As the
Norwalk Special of Saturday night was
leaving the New Rochelle Station on its way
up, the baggage master noticed a man dress-

ed in soldiers’ overcoat falling under the

wheels of the baggage car. The brakeman

on the smoking car also saw him in time to
grab him by the collar, but was not able save
him. He Was run over by the whole tram

and died a‘ few minutes after.

PERILS 0F NAVIGATION—T118 steamer
Wyoming, which has been fighting the ice
all winter, met with a severe accident last
Sunday.- She had pushed her way up the
Sound, through the ice, to Norwalk Islands,
and in attempting to work her way into the
harbor, run on a reef of ,rocks which juls
out from one of the islands. We nave not
learned the amount of of dam age sustained,
but understand that the cargo will probably
be saved.

WWe would invite attention to the adv.
of a concert and lecture of SLMary’s Church,
on the 17th inst. - Availing themselves of
the inspirations of theirPatron St. Patrick,
our Catholic friends intend soliciting aid
from our citizens for the further construction
Of their new stone church. We sincerely
trust their appeal may receive a generous
response, from all classes of our citizens.
Whatever sectarian differences may exist in
the minds of our people, as to creeds, there
can be or rather there should be, no differ-
ences of desire to have their new church fin-
ished ofi‘, in a manner that will leave its last-
ing monument of good taste and arghitectu-
ral adornment to Norwalk. We particularly
invoke our democratic friends to bestow a
moiety of the very large “fund” they are re-
ported tO have in store for election purposes
this Spring. They always demand a monop-
oly of the Catholic [vote of the country, on
the general supposition, that poor Patrick
doesn’t know any better than to give his suf-
rage for the party in this country which is
the friend and ally of English aristocracy and
of British Free Trade—The enemies of liber.
ty everywhere and especial haters of Feniars
and Irishmen on the soil of the Fatherland.
At least let the money usually worse than
wasted in maddening the brain of poor Pat,
on election day, be given to build him in-
stead a church where if he is made a less
modern democrat, he is sure to become more,
a christian and better citizen.

look on and enjoy the fun. It is tune that
they should experience some of the horrors

named persons favored the change. Now
for the facts of the case. The meeting‘re-
terred to, was. called by Mr. G. P. Putnam,
at less than twelve (12) hours notice; the
chairman was a citizen of Darien, the secre-
‘tary anon-resident; a vet y small number of
the legal voters of the district were present,
the majority knowing nothing Of the meet-
ing. Capt. Andrew Bell living within call
Of the place of meeting was not present, and
did not hear of it until the next day. Messrs.
W. C. Sammis and A. Dibble were present
and opposed the change, and have opposed
it to the present time. Now, Mr. Editor,
you are supposed to know all things, and we
would very respectfully enquire of you how
long it is since the U. S. Government estab-
lished the policy Of settlii g the names of
hamlets in Connecticut “by direct interfer-

O
The ‘Suspension Bridge,

We outsiders, who live away down among
the Islands, in those icy and benighted re-
gions, and whose privileges are cut off from
the comforts and refinements of civilization,
have, during the past winter, enjoyed the
rare opportunity of passing-over a Suspen-
sion Bridge from the Island to the main-land,
during all the month of February and so far
into March. A longer period than has oc-
curred since the winter of 1855-6.

This Bridge has been strong and sufficient
for any number of horses, offering a splen-
did drive to the Island, via. Wilson’s Point.
But instead of being run down with visitors,
and the jingle of sleigh bells, no friends
have deigned to honor as with a call; not
even the Esquimaux or Polar Bears. The
oystermen have been seen from day to day,
and deserve especial credit for their perse-
verance in cutting through the heavy ice to
Obtain their stock in trade.

After all we do not find it so unbearable
to be ice-olated in this way, for with glowing
fires, a full larder, and a large welcome, we
shall be thankful to the Giver of all good for

these bountiful provision of His mercy.

Tne'LmIe Boy that Died.

Our obituary record of last week, made its
brief mention of the sad bereavement which
has overtaken Dr. Fitch, so recently settled
at “Hillside.” The surpassing lovliness of
his new home seems only to have invited all
too soon thtgfell Destroyer." His only son,
a bright little boy of five summers suddenly
sickened and,-—died! Though comparative-
ly a stranger among us, his great sorrow has
most deeply stirred the compassionate sym-
pathies of his neighborhood. The tiny‘grave
on “Hillside,” beneath its coverlet of pure,
white snow, thrills that “lunch of nature.
which makes the whole world kin. But in
their present hour of supreme trial and in
future days of darkness and Sorrow, the
hearts of these stricken parents will cherish
the image of the fair child in loving remem-
brance and confess the Father's Goodness in
sending before so bright an Angel to usher
them to the bright portals Of the better land.
In the fearful numbers of Dr. Chalmers, may
their faith and hope find fitting expression

“We shall go home to our Father’s house—
To our Father’s house in the skies,—
. Where the hope of our souls shall have no blight,
Our love on broken ties.
We shall roam on the banks of the river of peace,
And bathe in its blissful tide; ‘

And one of the joys of that life shall he
‘The little boy that died.’ “

. < .u. . 0-—

We take pleasure in announcing that the
Hon. WM. C. STREET was re-nominated by
the 12th Senatorial District Convention, held
at South Norwalk, on Wednesday Of this
week: .Mr. Street has ably represented this
District In the Senate last year, and has been
faithful to every public trust. He is sound
on all questions which are of vital impor-
tance to his constitutentaand has been lib-
eral and fair in all discussions into which he
has entered. He has been emphatically the
poor man’s friend, and although he has not
been sent to the Senate on that specific issue,
he has'bcen one of the loudest advocates for
the relief of suffering labor. Mr. Street will
undoubtedly receive a large portion of the
votes_of men who were last year veild with
the eight hour question, as we see what an
utter failure this system has been. Proper
legislation is desirable, and who are better
able to give this legislation than those who
are themselves working men and who have
worked their way to high positions of re-
sponsrbihty and trust in the community.—
Were Mr. Street to be known as well else-
where as he 13 in Norwalk, his own home, he
should be elected by an overwhelming ma-
jority. As It Is he is sure betriumphantly
reelected—Stamford A la.

It is thought the wholeproperty would have
been saved, if the hydrants had not all been
frozen. The Museum buildings were valued
at $150,000 and were insured for less than
$90,000. The property was Sold in February

' WA nice little democratic trick has been
detected In Pennsylvania, In the course of
investigation into the election of a member of
the state legislature, it came out that in Luz-
errene and neighboring counties, forged nat-
uralization certificates have been issued, by
the ousand,th for the benefit of the dem-
ocracy. By the aid of these votes cast in
vrrtue , of these forged papers, Judge
Sharswood was elected last fall to the
supreme court, and Judge Woodward sent to
Congress, and the democracy calculated to
carry the state by the some means next fall.

_As the fraud has been detected, this latter lit-
tle game will probably be headed Off.

There are a few that regret the necessrty, but
none that doubt the rightfulnesa of, the step
taken. We might fill columns of the Tri-
bune with the-“voice of the press” to this ef-
fect, but it is not necessary ; the consolida-.
tion Of the Republican party in the House
upon the impeachment resolution is fully
paralleled by the consolidation of .the news-
papers, State Conventions, Legislatures, and
political meetings all overthe loyal States.
And the press is not one step ahead of the
public—indeed, most newspapers are quite
tame in speech when compared with the
voice of the people in, their daily conversa-
tion.

The Democratic papers, by the action of
their friends in Congress, are forced into a.
pretty general denunciation of impeachment
calling it a mere party measure,and Oppo-
sing it. more because Republicans go the
other way, than from any clear views as to
its justice or eXpediency. At first a few of
these journals set up Andrew Johnson as a
martyr, but that misstep was quickly correct-
ed, and now almost every DetnOcratic writer
on impeachmeutjs careful to say that it is
the Office, and not the man, that they would
defend. Andrew Johnson is rcmorselessly
thrown overboard. Should he be convicted
and turned out, the Democrats would not
have a tear to shed; indeed, they are con-
gratulating themselves upon the fact that he
cannot force himself upon them in case he is
convicted, since the punishment renders him
incapable ever after of holding office. That
the Democracy had no idea of nominating
him before impeachment. was certain; they
as certainly will not do so after trial, even if'
he should be acquitted.

From Mr. J. B. Darling, Watchmaker, Putnam, Ct.

“I have used Dr. WISTAR‘s BALsAar on WILD CEER'
By in my family for several years and always with the
most beneficial results. My wife being of delicate
habits, has always been troubled with a hard. dry.
hacking con h whenever taking cold, and could ob-
tain no relic from the various remedies she employ-
ed until she used WIsTAR’s BALsarI, the effect of
which was astonishing. A year ago a yo ungman in
thisplace was taken with bleeding at the lungs, with
a severe couch, and was riven over to die by our best
physicians, i’t being evr cut to all that his disease
was c’omumptwnfiipor. hearing of his case, in wire
sent him a bottle of the Balsam, which he too , and
soon. to the astonishment of his friends, he was at
