”Tuesday, J c 16, 1808‘;
FOR PRESIDENT,
ULYSSES S. GRANT,
0f Illinois.
Iron VICE-PRESIDENT,
SCHUYLEB COLFAX,
‘ Of Indiana.
The People’s Interests Vinnie-ted.
Last year a ctmningly devised bill was
slipped through the Massachusetts Legisla-
ture, empowering the New. Haven, Hartford
& Springfield Railroad to comelds'ato with
the New York 85 New Haven Railroad !
This was justified by the fact that from the
Connecticut state line to Springfield, one.
road traverses a portion of Massachusetts.
In our own Legislature the same right was
conferred in a still more indirect and cun-
ning manner. A section was foisted Into a
certain bill, we are informed, havmg 110 ref-
fereuce whatever to railroads, authorizing
' any corporation to unite with, any other corpo-
ration conducting the same kinds of business I
The passage of this bill with this section m-
tact, conferred all power requisite for a con-
solidation of the lines passing through Con-‘
necticut. 'But to render these cunningly ob-
tained powers available to the manipulators
and speculators, a' bill to increase the capital
stock of the New Haven Road must be
pushed through. To get this enormous in-
crease no movement must be made to uncov-
er the prodigious out under the meal,‘and so
the three million increase was rushed through
the Connecticut Legislature, the clerk was
induced to rush it to the Secretary’s office
and to the Governor, and out of its turn, as
we are assured, and although a resolution
for a recall of the bill was passed by the
house, on a discovery of 'the game, it was
' tabled in the Senate, and the bill stands a
law in full force on the statute books of Ct.,
and Cornelius Vanderbilt is triumphant thus
far over the Legislature. and people of Ct.
Massachusetts, however, has been awakened
to a full sense of the nice little game sought
to be played, and last week voted, by a large
majority of both branches of its legislature,
a repeal of their consolidation act. Gov.
Bullock was at once assniled and induced to
veto the rescinding enactment. The vetoed
bill came back to the Legislature and was
passed over the veto by an increased ma-
jority, and thus Massachusetts has washed
her hands clean of the attempt to override
the best interests of :the people. Massachu-
setts refuses to aid a grasping monopoly and
a more grasping and arrogant master spirit,
whose crowning ambition is to control a
continuous line of rail from Boston to Chi-
cago. Massachusetts refuses to add to the
burdens of the poor by permitting an in-
crease in the rates of transportation. Massa-
chusetts declines to add thus unreasonably
and unjustly to the ill-gotten gains of the
rich. Connecticut should not be less mind-
ful of the wishes and interests of its people.
Connecticut should be as jealous of every
encroachment of grasping avarice and am-
bitition as Massachusetts. We implore our
Legislature to take up this matter at once
and repeal all acts and parts of acts the cun‘-
ding device of the paid retainers of Corne-
lius Vanderbilt have foisted upon our Stat-
ute Book to rob, our own people for the eu-
richment of' the monster monopolist.
We have written much and earnestly in
Opposition. to. the grasping tendencies of
Mr. Vanderbilt, as particularly illustrated in
his ownership and control of the New York
6.: New Haven Railroad. A more alsolute'
monopoly does not exist in any state than
this corporation will become if not arrested
in its arrogant career. For two years it has
been able to control thesction of our Legis-
lature by a desperate system of lobbying,
and has expended enormous amounts of its
honest stock-holders" money to corruptly in-
fluence legislative action.
With Mr. Vanderbilt, as a private citizen,
we have no quarrel. We admire his indom-
itable energy which has led him from the
paths of poverty to untold millions of for-
tune. But the world knows how arrogantly
and unscrupulously he always uses poll-er.
No man should oppose a fair competition.
N o Legislamre should guarantee exclusive
and extraordinary advantages and franchise
for the enrichment ofa few and impoverish-
ment of the many. Mr. Vanderbilt’swhole
public career has been one continued effort
at crushing out competition. Defeating and
thwarting by every means all legislative re-
strictions which might impede his self~willed
sway. Look at his struggle at Albany the
past winter, where the most gigantic effort
known to Legislative history was made by
lavish use of money and all other applian-
ces to place every mad leading out of New
York under his absolute control—a virtual
consolidation of the Hudson River, Harlem,
and Central Roads and an arbitration of the
Erie. And now having transferred his Al-
bany struggles to New Haven, what do we
see? Simply a repetition of those acts of
“doubling up” or “watering” stocks, which
have won for him the worldwide» soubri-
quet of “ The Great American Railroad
King.” It was in Hudson River that this
exploit was first tried. The seven millions‘
of ~this company was watered up to ten and
a half millions and then carried to fourteen
millions ; old stock-holders receiving the
new stock at fifty cents on the dollar, just as
proposed by the Connecticut law. So bril-
liantly successful was this stock opera-
tion on the Hudson that the route from Eric
to Toledo was run up from ten iofrfteen mil-
lions, under his master manipulation.
The following extract fiDm an article in
the New York“ Evening Post bf February
25th, will-show what this programme, was

“The figures (paroposed for the valuation of these

The consolidation plan seems at present to be
dominant. Nearly the entire debt of the Central is
on six per cent. interest, but with sinking funds at-
tached to the rinclpsl loans or certificates of 1853,
86,206,954, an 011864, 82,920,000.
A well ' posted writer still further states :
The Hudson River coup do main. netted
$3,000,000; and b judicious manipulation,
an equal sum by t c advance of the stock ;
or $7,000,000 inall. The stock in trade in
the three roads is seven times greater ! The
bonus dividend proposed was $18,063,000,
or nearly six times greater than that In Hud-
son River. If the new stock could be. car-
ried to 145, the price at which Hudson Riv-
er sold after dividend, then the net profits of
the new transaction would be $57,351,350.
That Mr. Vanderbilt ever added a dollar
to the value of the road, or to its business,
by his experience, his management, or his
economies, is utterly preposterous. This is
not his role. It would be today far more
Valuable than it isif he had never at con-
trol of, it. Its unpopularity under his regime
is notorious, and every one avoids it that
ii
t
All know how Mr. Vanderbilt managed
his steamboat lines. He long ago found
competition on the free ocean no field for
him. His must be one where there is no al-
ternative but abject submission to his will.
Such a-monopoly he now holds in Hudson
River. He can there be oppressive and in-
.solent with impunity—at least till he drives
the public into the construction of new out-
lets, which is now fast_being done. Impe-
rialism is not according to the genius of
this coun ,and he who attempts to play
the despot Is certain to find himself sudden-
ly dethroned.
But suppose Vanderbilt Imperialism to
triumph—the programme to be carried ,out
—thc nominal capital of the three roads to
be carried to $90,000,000, and the lines be
made to earn $10,000,000 net on this sum-—
what then ‘2 A tax has been levied upon
the commerce of the country by a self-con-
stituted, unscrupulous and remorselesspow-
er, equal to some $8,000,000, gross, annually,
for its own especial benefit, without the
equivalent ofa penny ! Is it wise for the
public to tolerate—much less encourage—
such lawless tyranny, which seeks to eat up
their substance, and even subvert the ve
ends of society ? The great subject to whic
universal attention is turned, and which is
of chief interest to all, are methods to cheap-
en the cost of transportation. The needless
additon of every dollar to that capital is a
perpetual tax upon the community, and
those whose lives are spent in devising
plans by which, for their own private ends,
can increase the amount of levied without
any addition ofreal capital of the works, are
the pests of society, and should be objects of
execration instead of adultation.
The public have a deep stake, in this ques-
tion, as a matter of precedent or example.
Shall a set of men from the accident of
wealth, be permitted to roam lawlessly
about th’e country, hunting up railways to
ravish and destroy. ‘
We trust therefore, that not only will* Mr.
Vanderbilt’s role of “doubling up capital
stoc ” be killed outright, and thus the peo-
ple saved from further robbery by means of
excessive rates of transportation, but that a
new and competing road from New Haven
to New Ygrk will be chartered, so as to
compel “fair play” for all time.

The Burnside Guards In New York.
The Burnside Guards, of South Nor-
walk, started on Tuesday morning last, in
the steamer Nelly White, for New York,
to return the visit made them last sum-
mer bythe Washington Grays, 8th
Regt. N. G., S. N. Y. The Guards number-
cd about fifty muskets, under command of
Capt. Andrew J. Crosmon and Lieuts. J. C.
Crow and E. M. Wheeler. They were no-
companied by the full Band of the 8th cht
Conn. National Guard, (Wheeler & Wilson
of Bridgeport), which made a fine appear-
ance in their new and showy uniforms, and
furnished excellent music. A severe rain
storm prevailed during the trip down which
interfered- somewhat with the reception cere-
monies On their arrival. However, they
were handsomely received at the landing
foot of Market street, by eight companies of
the 8th Regt., and escorted down Chatham
street to City Hall Park, up Broadway and
thence to the Regimental Armory, corner
Center and Grand Streets, the line being
headed by the full band of the N. Y. 8th
Regt. Here the Guards were formally wel-
comed in a speech by Major Appleton, re-
sponded to by Capt. Crosmon, when a colla-
tion was partaken of, and Civilities. inter-
changed. The Armory was profusely orna- .
mented with flags, streamers, &c., and the
words “ Welcome to the Burnside Guards.”
During the afternoon, rain having ceased to
fall, the 8th Regt., and their guests made a
street parade, but in returning they were
caught in a severe shower and thoroughly
soaked, placing them in rather an unfortu-
nate position for visitors. ITheir hosts, how-
ever, built a,warm fire in the armory, fur-
nished dry uniforms, and did all in their
power to make them comfortable. Early in
the evening a banquet was given them, a
splendid supper being laid in the adjacent
Armory of the 6th Regt., after which they
attended the Olympic Theatre towituess the
performance of “Humpty Dumpty”—the
most amusing play ever put on the stage—
whcrc they were furnished with reserved
seats; This last compliment was tendered
them by Capt Fox, of Gen. Varian’s stafi‘,
the renowned actor and father of “ Humpty
Dumpty.” They were then furnished with
tickets for lodgings, breakfast and dinner at
the Westchester House. Wednesday mor-
ning was spent as each member saw fit, “cir-
culating” about the city guided by “gray
backs." After dinner they were escorted to
the Nelly White, by a delegation of the 8th
Regt., 'and took their departure amidst
cheers, music by the Band, &c. Arriving
home they made a short parade at South
Norwalk, and serenaded a number of their
honorary members during the evening. The
Guards express themselves delighted with
the excursion, and the warm hospitality dis-
played by their hosts throughout their visit.
WOur Sanctum was taken possession of
this morning, the table laid with dishesyand
the entire force of the establishment, from
editor up to the smallest imp, were invited
in to partake of “ Strawberry Shortcake”
with dressing. of vanilla and strawberry ice
cream, specimens of what are being prepar-
ed daily for the dear public at the elegant
and well-ordered Saloon ofMessrs. Douglass
dc Mead, Gazette Building. We need not
tell our own townspeople how delicious the
Shortcake was, or how'fine the cream, for
they prefer tasting for themselves. People
from adjoining towns, however, who occa-
sionally visit N oeralk, will be glad to have
their attention directed to a place where
they can have their hunger appeased by
a hearty meal, or their appetites tempted
by delicate refreshments, confectioner ,
fruits, &c. We are glad to see that the pub-
lic are appreciating Messrs. D. & M.’s efforts
to please, and are beginning to reward them
for their heavy outlays, by liberal patronage.

the bill to repeal a part of the acts Of1852 in
relation to the Hartford and N erHaVen
Railroad this afternoon. The Governor says
that the railroad has possession of a most
important franchise, and that its right ex-
tends to Springfield. He claims that the
law which is sought to be repealed is in the
nature ofa contract, as certain legislation in
_ the State could not be binding on the .Com-
pany beyond the limits of the State, except
by agreement with the Company. The road
referred to in the bill it is now proposed to
consolidate with the New-York and New-
Haven Road, and if they threw obstacles in
the way it would be uncourteous to the State
of New York which had given favors in
the consolidation of the Albany road.

The Festival sin-on.
'The ladies of the Third M. B. Church at
Five Mile River Landing, inaugurates the
festival season with a Festival on Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings of this week. A
good time may be expected, and strangers
will find ample “accommodations for man
and beast,” and a hearty welcome.
Up-town, the Pioneer Hook & Ladder Co.
“Always Ready,” lead off with their maiden
Festival, at Lockwood’s Hall, on Thursday
evening, closing with a Hop. Music by the
Norwalk Quadrille Band, and the best RC-
freshments the season affords, are among the
attractions. No one who attended their So-
ciable last winter will have any doubts of the
able management of the ofiicers, and the at-
tendance will undoubtedly be large.
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of
next week, our friends of the 2d Methodist
Society, hold their Annual Festival at Nor-
walk Hall. The children will give a con-
cert as usual, and the well-earned reputation
of the Society for giving agreeable entertain-
ments will, no doubt, be fully sustained.
On Tuesday evening, next, at Lockwood’s
Hall, the members of.-Phoenix Hose Compa-
ny invite the people to come and make mer-
ry at their second annual Festival: The fire
daddies have the knack Of getting up good
entertainments and always draw a crowd.
All the Phoenix boys ask is “A clear Track
and no Favor.” .
Next week, commencing on Wednesday,
the Congregational ladies hold a Fair and
Sunday School Festival at Lockwood’s Hall,
for which they have been some time prepar-
ing. You may reasonably anticipate a pleas-
ing entertainment, so get your change ready.
To run GAza'rrn: ,
In your issue of last week, my brother:
Mr. J. Bernd, charges me improperly with an untruth
in assuming the sole right to manufacture and vend
the “Colfax Segar." Your advertising columns, this
week, show my right in the Copyright issued to me.
He also asserts that I use in their manufacturing a
flavoring that I learned from him. This is also a mis-
take of his. Any person who uses his segars and
mine will easily distinguish the difference, and discov-
er what lras‘ given to the real “Colfax Segar" its de-
served excellent reputation. It is a .discovery of my
own, and 1‘th known to him or any other'person. My
segars have been used by Mr. Speaker Colfax for more
than {a year, be ordering them direct from my estab-
lishment, having first smoked them, while here, at
the time he delivered his lecture “Across the Conti-
nent.” He was then the guest of Edgar S. Tweedy,
Esq., who has used my segars for along period, and
continues to smoke them. He was quite surprised to
find so good an article made here, at so low a price,
and has since then ordered them diretly fromme. It
was one of my Colfax segars that Gen. Grant smoked, '
and which caused his order to me, and which I nbw
have, and which reads as follows:
“ HnADQUAnrnus Annv or run UNIrIzD STATES}

Franked, "Scnuxhna COLI‘AX, Speaker H. Reps.”
I have the autographs of many Members of Con-
gress, who order these segars directly from me, and it
is unjust for. any person to claim rights which belong
exclusively to me. A large number of the lawyers of
this County order their s‘egars directly from me. I am
also supplying many of the New York merchants with
the genuine Colfax Segar. I am ready to supply deal-
ers and others on application to me, with the genuine
and original "Colfax Delight.

SOLDIERS CAN’T STAY IN ran—Gen. Hobson,
of Ky., in a letter anouncing his abandon-
ment of the democratic for the Republican
party, says: “I would regard myself as dis-
honored in the eyes and in the estimation of
the soldiers who are now living, who served
under my command during the rebellion,if I
were to give my adhesion to the rebel Dem-
ocracy .of Kentucky. NOr can I forget the
manly bearing of the patriotic dead Federal
soldiers, their widows and children, to join
the Democracy of Kentucky for the sake of
office and position, as many have done, at
the cost and sacrifice of principles. I have
never been ashamed of the blue, and hope to
high heaven that I never shall be.—-Oom'ant.

03‘ The travelling public will be glad to
learn thatthebill authorizing the construction
of a railroad bridge over the Connecticut
river at Saybrook has passed the Connect-
icut Legislature, and will undoubedly receive
the approval of the Governor. The au-
thority for another b1idge_at Middle-
town has also been, given in like
manner, and thus the monopoly of
the Hartford and New Haven Railroad Com-
pany of the land travel between New York
and Boston be effectually and forever de-
stroyed. It only remains now for Connec-
ticut to adopt a general railroad law, under
which a second. line can be built between
New Haven and New York, to put the
finishing touch to the work, and this we hope
will soon be accomplished. N. Y. Sun.

A NEW CARPET HOUSE—It is one thing
to purchase, and another thing to know
where and how to purchase advantageously.
In this season of repairs, alterations, and
“ fixing up” generally, what an important
item, for instance, the selection of new car-
pets becomes, and how fortunate are they
who know where to find not only an exten-
sive assortment at reasonable prices, but con-
siderate courtesy of reception and treatment
as well. Those who are not well informed in
these respects, cannot do better than call on
Messrs. James Nall, Jr. & Co., the successors
of R. N. Tinson, at No. 501 Broadwa . Here
they will be sure to meet with the po itest at-
tention, and must be, indeed, hard to please,
if they do not find just what they .. want.
Messrs. Null & 00., besides their Broadway
establishment, which is one of the most ex
tensive and complete in New-York, have a.
large branch house in Detroit, and enjoy the
finest class of patronage in both cities.

WWC clip the following notice of a. new
invention, by a N orwalk boy, from the Nor—
folk (Va.) Journal, of the 9th inst :—
Mr. Charles Beatty,of the firm of C. &. G.
Beatty, of this city, has invented an appara-
tus for rinding or preparing ice for drinking
soda, w ich is really a creditable contrivance
for the purpose designed, and reflects eat
credit upon Mr. Beatty’s inventive skil . ‘It
worksto a charm in shaving a blockofice,and
has become verypopular with all our soda
vendors. It certainly gives a glass of soda
- a cooler and more refreshing tone than can
otherwise be obtained.

WA cable dispatch from Beigrade rc-
orts the assassination of Prince ichael of
rvia. Prince Michael, the youngest son'of
of the late Prince Milos Obrenovitch, has
been ruler of Servia since 1838. Under
him Servia had made great progress in eman-
cipating herself from the supremacy of the
Sultan. In 1867 the Turks abandoned all
the fortresses in which they had a right to
keep a garrison; and the whole dependence
of Servra upon Turkey now consists only. in
the payment of an annual tribute. be‘
Prince was a devoted partisan ofRussia, and,
encouraged as much as he could the Pan Sla-
vistic tendencies in Turkey and Austria. - He
leaves no children.

Repairing (a) Highways with Soil and
Muék. Whereln is the Economy?
A portion of the highway tax has already
been thrown away this season upon the
streets "and roads of the town by repairing
with sods, scrapings of'gutters, loam and
soil. -
Lookat the street in front of the Fairfield
'00. Bank building and vicinity; note “its
condition on both sides of the Horse Rail-
way track. Repairs were attempted here
on Wednesday last with the scrapings of the
gutters, suitable only for'a compost manure
heap. The foot of Phillips’ Hill is another
instance of the folly of the free use of poor
stuff. The repairs here are decidedly un-
Workmanlike and the grading as it remained
on Saturday left the road in what might be
termed a dangerous condition.
Other cases of waste could be noted.
When will ‘our tax-payers awake to this
foolish squandering of their hard earned
money and to the consequent destruction of
the highways of travel in this-beautiful town,
famous of yore for the superiority and good
condition of its drives. *

vince any one of its superiority and econ-
omy over all others. No household WIll
dispense with its use after making its ac-
quaintance. -

DODDS NERVINE-
AND INVIGOBATOR.
This medicine is.a Nerve Tonic. It stops the waste of
vitality, braces the nerves, and quietly regulates the
system. Sleeplessness, Irritabillty, Loss of Energy,
Loss of Appetite, Dyspepsia, Constipation, Local
Weakness, and a general falling of the mental and
bodily functions, are the common indications of Nerv-
ous Disease. Dodd’s Nervinc and IuvlgOrator is a
complete specific for all these troubles. It is also the
' best as it is also the most agreeable
Remedy for Female Complaints,

Mothers l we also recommend the Nervine, for use in
the diseases which afilict children while teething, as
certain to afiord quick and grateful relief. The stupe-
fylng Syrups, of which opium is the principal ingredi-
ent, are dangerous to life, impair the functions of the
stomach and bowels, and actually impede the growth
of your ofi‘spring. To cure Wind Colic, regulate the
bowels, soften the gums, and relieve pain, the NER-
VlNE will always be found safe and efficient.
