Mr. Minor of Stamford, presented the sur-
vey, profile and engineer‘s report. 'Ihe no-
tice required by law had been published in
the Norwalk Gazette. Mr. Minor spoke Of
the advantages which had come to the state
from] the bllllding 0f the New York lllld
New Haven railroad. Build this road and
like advantages will result in Fairfield _Co.
The New York railroad can no longer ac-
cmnmodate the increased demand, especial-
lv in the interior of Fairficld Go. There is
r. ore demand for a railroad through Fair-
field County to-day than there was for the
New York and New Haven railrord. Then
_ two steamers and a few sleeps carried all
the freight and‘ passengers from Bridgeport
to New York. Now there are 12 trains be-
sides several freight cars, four stcainboats
from Bridgeport-,two from Norwalk, four,
the Nelly \Vhite, City of Norwalk, .F.
Brady and Joseph Hall.——_EDs.GA7.ETTE], and
one from Stamford. There is no demand so
universal for a road as for this. This is need- .
ed as an outlet for the freight Of the Air Line
about to be completed. The New York road
by an arrangement with the Hartford road
agreed to furnish no accommodation to the
Shore Line road, and to attempt to defeat the
building of the Canal road to the state line.
The legislature stopped this. This proposed
road is.an honest pro'eet.
Mr. IIotchkiss of cthany Opposed the
resolution. He could not see the necessity
of a road runnincr parallel with thc‘ New
York railroad. h r. I-Iotchkiss spoke further
and at length. ,
Mr. Averill of Danbury said that was a
question of vital importance. Never, he be-
lieved, had a road asked for by any consider-
able number Of people of the state, been re-
fused, except in the case of this road. Why
is this exception? Why is this continued
opposition by the principal corporation
in the state. . Every consideration of state
policy, of right, demand increased facilities
for travel to New York. Fairfield County,
without exception, except parties interested
in the New York road ask for this road.
This contemplated road is about six‘or seven
miles shorter than the present New York
road. There is not to be a draw bridge on
this road.
Mr. Phelps of Simsbury said it would be
time enough to consider another road when
it was shown that the present road failed to
accommodate. Mr. Averill of Danbury has
said no road has been refused. When has
a parallel road been asked for?
Mr. Averill Of Danbury instanccd the
Naugatuck road and the Housatonie, also the
Canal road.
Mr. Itheler of Bridgeport said that con—
tractors of this new road told him last year
that this road was not to be built ; it was in-
tended as a “dyer,” a speculation.
Mr. Woodward of N orwalk said that from
nearly all the towns in Fairfield 00., as well
as from other counties, had come petitions
for, bilt no remonstrancc against this road.
So much as to the demand. As to the specu-
lation; He asserted that Mr. Wheeler dare
not make such an assertion in Bridgeport,
Norwalk or other cities on the road. Mr.
Woodward then proceeded to show the re-
sults to Norwalk and other places by the
building of the New York road. If this
road is built, Other-Ivillagcs will 'spriug up
and business be increased. Mr. W. spoke at
some length.
Mr. Day of Brooklyn said that the people
in Easternflonnccticut demanded this road.
Three-fourths the entire cotton manufactur-
ing interest Of the state is owned in Wind—
ham county. He believed that unless this
road was built the present- road would be-
come a terrible monopoly.
Mr. lvcs of East Haven opposed this new
road. If you have two lines doing the work
which one can do, you add no wealth to the
state, you do not increase facilities for travel,
you diminish both roads, you divide their
strength. The great question is, “Is this
road needed ‘2” He believed that this paral—
lel railroad scheme had its birth iii Wall st.
Why ? The people along the route don’t
need it, for they have facilities. Mr. I. spoke
at length in Opposition to the resolution.
Mr. Graves spoke against the bill, claim-
ing that upon the information the House has
ii ought not to vote for this road.
Mr. Bartlett of Derby said if members
would refer to a circular of the New York
road it would be found to be nine miles long-
er from Derby to the State line; but the
whole line is really four miles shorter.
Mr. Griffin of h iddletown explained as to
the grade of the New Haven & Derby road.
A number of members retiring from the
House, Mr. Minor of Stamford said that. he
saw a movement made by certain members
to leave the House without a quorum. He
hoped members would remain.
The vote was then taken and the resolu—
tion passed-ayes 115 ; nays 10.
Mr. Woodward Of Norwalk moved a re-
consideration of the vote just taken. He
hoped his motion would be voted down. The
motion was lost.
Adjourned to 9 o’clock Friday morning.

Democratic Convention.
We refer to our reportelsewhere for a de-
tailed synopsis Of this most entertaining me-
nageric. Suffice it to say, they have wan-
tonly thrown away the only chance they
had for electing their candidate ,by neglect.
ing to~nominate Mr. Chase, while the poor,
besmeared Chief Justice, after rolling over
in all the filth 'of the democracy, like a dog,
and assenting to its repudiation platform, in
shamcfaccdness is doomed to see the coveted
cracker eaten by another dog. _
As the result astonislies everybody, and
none more than the “ faithful and unterri-
fiet ,” we may be pardoned for stating how
it was done, inasmuch as we have it from
the lips of the primOmovcrs themselves.
It seems a secret caucus was held of the
New York delegation late the night before
wherein it was agreed that so soon as Hen-
dricks vote should show signs Of shrinkage
Horatio Seymour should leave the. chair,
descend to the floor, and there by a burst of
pro-arranged enthusiasm move‘ the nomina-
tion of Chase by acclamation ! The secret
leaked out and the wily Valiandinghani got
hold.0f itand no sooner was Horatio ob-
served to slyly glide from his chair than
Gen. McCOOk of Ohio sprang to his feet and
gave the solid vote of Ohio for Seymour!
Here the wildest enthusiasm seized the con-
vention and the solid earth sealed to reel
under the tumult. Horatio protested but
Vallandingham jumped to his feet and an-
nounced that Ohio’s vote would stand I And
then with thrilling eloquence called upon
the whole convention. to nominate Seymour
by acclamation ! ,The bait took and the
whole convention hastened in the wildest
manner to affirm the suggestion. Seymour’s
and the nicely concerted little scheme Of
Belmont .517 00., was thus most aggravating-
ly thwarted,and Horatio Seylnotn‘ if not ab-
solutely ravislied, act-ed at least like Byron’s
Julia, who while “vowing she would ne’er
consent—consented.” There was a malicious
gratification in this result to the Ohioans.
They were defeated by New York in the sc-
lection Of their favorite and would not per-
mit another son of Ohio, whom they dc-
spiscd, to be thrust upon them to kill Pen-
dlcton’s chances four years hence.
It was a queer but successful coup dc clot,
bilt neither Seymour or any Of the leaders of
the party have the slighest expectation of
success, otherwise they would never have
loaded Seymour down with the dead (drunk)
weight of rollicking Frank Blair.
It is believed by those who closely watch-
ed the proceedings that there was a time
when Gov. English might have borne off the
honor, if Eaton had had any heart in his
advocacy Of his claims. Certain it is we
should have had a much harder candidate
to beat had they nominated him instead of
Seymour, for while the latter is a 119.11) of
greatest ab'lity and rarest culture, he is aris-
tocratic aiNl unpopular with the masses and
has never run for Office without going be-
hind his tiekct. But it makes no manner of
difference, the people want Grant and 001-
fax.
Derby & State Line Railroad.
One of the-most gratifying evidences of
the honesty of purpose of the present Legis-
lature was given in its House vote upon the
-above measure on Thursday last. A meas-
ure inaugurated as unselfishly as ever was
any great enterprise for the public benefit,
.yct for three years it has been assailed by
the New York & New Haven Railroad Cor-
poration, and by it alone, and with all the
arts, honorable and dishonorable, known to
legislative lobbying, while on the other
hand the entire people of this county, irre-
spective of party, have urged its passage.
. It now stands with the Senate to give to the
people‘ their undivided wish, to promote the
growth, prosperity and population of our
little state, or by yielding to the borings, the
gncessant connivings and chieancries Of Mr.
Vanderbilt’s hirelings to defeat and thwart
the people's wishes. It.is not saying too
muc’to aflirm that never was any measure
so wickedly assailed ; never was there so
lavish an expenditure of money, and never
were all the arts and intrigues Of the corrupt
lobby system so utterly exhausted as by the
forts to prevent the people of this State and
all New England from getting to New York
by any other means than over their road.
We thank God, that so far as the House is
rebuked. We shall see if the Senate can so
far forget its self-respect and duty as to con-
property Of this monster monopoly.
“
WThc late democratic Convention
was remarkable throughout its session, for
strange inconsistencies. Poor “Gentleman
George” was slaughtered bccauso of his
consistent radical democratic record, then
the Convention begged Horatio,—-a mean-
er copperhead than George ever dared to
bc,—tlo accept the nomination, which he did
to please them. Having given the Presi-
dency to a civilian who had opposed the
war from the first, and fought against it to
the end, they turned round and gave the
_Vicc Presidency to a General who had fa-
VOred the war and fought the enemy from
first to last. They made a platform for
“Young Greenbacks” and then put “Old
Hard Money” on it, and the .whole
platfomi is full of inconsistencies that
even the World cannot explain.

' YALE COLLEGE—The last mmiber of the
College Com-ant has a statement rather start-
ling tO parents and patrons of the institution.
The graduating class numbers 106'mcmbers

15 chew tobacco, nearly 70 play billiards,
while 96 (all but ten of the class) play cards.

E‘The Sun charges that while Dr.
Plummer was lustily praying for the rebels
assembled at St.Tammanylast week,the del-
egates all over the house were irreveramly
reading the Sun’s Reports, which by the
way, are conceded to have been the best
given by any paper. The Sun has succeed-
cd in bothering and bewil'dering the politi-
tians beyond measure, and having come out
and advised the coppers to nominate Stay-
mour as the best way out of their muddlcs,
sure enough, in less than five hours, they
did it! On this score, it thinks itself entitled
to .be called the leading democratic paper.
New York & New Haven Railroad in its cf:
concerned, its arrogant assumption has been-
firm the current rumors that it is already the -
The Denote.
We are told that the Officers of the New
Haven road are boasting that the overwhel-
ming vote in the House in favor of a new
railroad, will amount to nothing as they
have got. the thing “fixed in the Senate! Of
course we have no positive knowledge of the
extent or import of the boastings. We do
know however upon the authority of their
own Treasurer, that they have used cast sums
of money aboutowr Legislature, in efforts to
defeat this measure heretofore, and we do not
doubt their corrupt propensities still. If
money will buy votes enough to thwart the
wishes of our people, and bind us still long-
er under the heel of this monopoly,thcy will
be had. But we do not believe that after the
unprecedented vote in the popular branch of
the Assembly of 115 to 10, and a knowledge
Of the fact, that fifty names could not be ob-
tained to a rcmonstrancc,in this whole coun-
ty, of persons not paid to subscribe to such
a project, our Senators will hesitate, before
giving over the people and interests of the
whole state to such a grasping monopoly.
03‘ On Friday evening last the democra-
cyassemblcd again at- Tammany Hall, when
the nominations were formally tendered
to Messrs. Seymour and Blair. Mr. Sey-
mour g ~accfully accepted, approved the
platfomi, and intimated that. it was his
“manifest destiny” to be elected. Mr. Blair
gratefully accepted, frankly expressed his
delight at being given any position .011 the
ticket, and made an indiscrect speech about
“ white. man's country” and all that in stri-
king contract to his former abolition speech-
es. This settles the matter for there is no
hope for the democracy that either of the
candidates will withdraw after once having
accepted the nomination unanimously ten-
dered by the Convention.
MD“ the Refitblican owns held last
Wednesday evening, Hon. m. T. Minor
was nominated for the Judgeship made va-
cant by the death Of Judge Hall. This re-
sult will give unfeigned delight to the bar
and people throughout the state. It is uni-
versally conceded that no better selection
could have been made. .
We have high authority for stating that
the Legislature should not adjourn without
creating another Judgcship, and that Sena-
tor Andrews of all others, would be the right
man in the right place.

WHaven’t we a borough law against
fast driving through our village ? If so, the
reckless Jchu’s who nightly imperil the
lives and limbs of men, women and children
should be arrested and punished. Fast
horses may be very innocent and desirable
under proper circumstances, but when some
conceited ass insists upon imperiling the safe-
ty of our citizens, we go for compulsory re-
slrictious.
W‘Therc is a capital chance for the town
to pay for somebody clse’s neck or horse on
the bridge which fell though with Mr.
Guthrie. if not better repaired. Our town
fathers should attend to it at one'e.
WThc speaker made another cxliibitim
of the weakness of poor human nature when
he allowed his partizansliip for a. great cor-
poratitm to induce him to slip from the
chair, and make a haranguc upon the floor
against the people and in the interest of Cor-
nelius Vanderbilt and his crew. One would
have thought the construction of a Railroad
Committee prejudgcd against the new road
would have sufficed. The Representatives
from Fairfield County have a right to feel
that their support accorded speaker Ives,
has met a very poor reward. However the
rebuke of a vote of 115 to 10 immediately
after his violent speech will suffice.

Savings Bank.
Probably no one influence has been more
potent in promoting the welfare and growth
of Norwalk than our Savings Bank. But
after thanking its managers with all sinceri-
ty for what they havg done, will they not
pardon us if we insist'that they might do
vastly more for the best interests Of their in-
stitution‘ and our town, by a still greatéi‘ en-
couragement Of building homes for the peo‘
ple, even to a sale of much Of its railroad,
bank and government stocks. Railroads are
subject to sudden depreciations by reason of
accidents and competition; Banks also, by
unexpected losses and by bad management,
even after. long years of prosperity ; and the
securities of Government itself are deliber-
ately assailed and depreciated in the platform
Of a great party, is it not better tO have real
estate securities where it is certain to in-
crease instead of diminish in value.

Saturday’s Matinee.‘
One of the most genteel and mirth-prom.
king entertainments we have been treated
to for _ years, is that announced at Lock-
wood’s Hall next Saturday afternoon. Prof.
Burnett, is giving nightly entertainments to
crowded houses and delighted audiences in
New York and is therefore unable to visit us
during the evening. He comes here upon
invitation, and we advise all who can spare
an hour in witnessing a drollery and mimic-
ry exceeding that of Yankee Hill or Gough,
to visit the Hall on that occasionf He will
be accompanied by Miss Nash, a young dra-
matic reader of note, and Mrs. Greene the
vocalist. Mr. Kinney, “the Barnum of the
West,” as he is usually denominated, and
who is soon to bring out the diorama of the
Funeral of President Lincoln, has the enter-
tainment in charge, while our whilom citi-
zen and universal genius, “Charley Platt,”

that two of his brothers have been insane,

give us light in our street lamps, or is it only

ten times as much or else stop paying out

very large circulation in this vicinity, has
written a book which he calls“The Personal
History of Gen. Grant,” which is soon to be
of Hartford. The publishers claim superiorio
ty for it overall other lives of Grant in the
following points :—
In fullness Of minute incidents, indica-
ting the interior life of the man.
In completeness, and in preciseness of
statements of events, dates, &c., showing
great care, research and labor.
In reliability, and the truthfulness of its
statements. ‘
In style and in contents. It will contain
most important matters relating to our civil
and military government hich, with statis-
tics, anecdotes, curiosities, incidents, «lac,
written in a vigorous, sprightly, readable
is.)tyllt:, will make a valuable yet fascinating
,oo .
In illustrations—25 fine full-page engra-
vings on steel and wood, all entirely new.
In matters of personal observation,Mr. R.
as correspondent at General Grant’s head-
quarters during most of his Western cani-
paigns, had unusual facilities to see and
judge the man.
They also also add to the work a full page
steel engraving Of Schuyler Colfax, with a
condensed sketch Of his life. The book will
be published in good style, and sold only by
subscription. A young lady is now canvass-
ing this place for subscribers to this work,

Our Public Schools.
NO. 2.
The title of our article indicates the limits
of the range of our remarks. We confine
our suggestions, for the present, to our pub-
lic schools. For the advantages of the pri-
vate institutions, which have in a measure
supplied our wants,wc,in common with the
whole community, acknowledge an Obliga-
tion. It is obvious, however, that these can-
not mect the public necessities. How vcr
good they may be, they cannot from fich-
i'Icry nature, supply those universal educa-
tional privileges which are so'anportant un-
der any government—so essential under One
where the very power and responsibility Of
government are in the hands of the whole
people. ‘
More than ever before in the history of the
nation, is the common school system to be
connected with the welfare and perpetuity
of the government. The south must receive
this system as one of the great elements of
its new life and permanent future prosperity.
The north must perfect and develop the sys-
tem it has.
It is a singular fact that while our Con-
necticut system has. served as an example
and model for other states for many years,
the feeling is now very prevalent'that we
have fallcn below even the states that have
copied from us. We are compelled to con-
fess that there is ground for this feeling.
There are defects in our system that it ama-
zes one-to find still remaining. '
I In the ‘firstplacc there is what has well
been called “the odious rate-bill.” It has
generally been supposed that our schools
.wcre free. Nothing is more surprising to a
stranger than to learn that. Norwalk, in
common with most of the towns of the
state, has no 'such thing as a free school i
A tuition bill is made at every term against
every scholar; and this bill bears most
hardly against those least able to meet it. It
is true that these bills may be “abatCI ” by
the proper authorities, and in many cases
they are so far abated as to make the collec-
tion almost a farce. ,They are abated as
against those who could pay them, but will
not, while many for whom they really ought
to be abated--hard wol’kin g laborers and wid-
ows—have too much independence to ask
it. They pay their “rates" by severe self-dc-
nial, or worse than that,-—they keep their
children from school.
The whole thing is a nuisance and ought
itself to be unconditionally “abated.” A
slight additional tax would meet the whole
difficulty and make our schools what they
profess to be, but never have boom—rams. .
[We are glad to say that since these
sketches were commenced, a movement has
been made which we trust will free us for-
ever from the reproach of rate-bills. By the
time this article shall be in press we hope
that the legislature will have abolished the
whole thing] 0.,
MOI-c Light.
Mnssns. EDITORS—Frequent complaints
are made of the perversion Of the gas lamps
from the use for which these needful essen-
tials to the comfort and convenience of the
public were intended. Private interest nor
private feeling should be permitted to thwart
the public good.
As the wish seems general to have our
streets well lighted (after the lights are put
out in our stores as well as before), not only
for convenience but chiefly for protection.
Why not adopt, in lieu of a better, our fa-
vorite mode of righting, or wronging mat-
ters and call a Borough meeting to instruct
our authorities to close their kerosene ex-
perhnents and give us back the ever-reliable
and brilliant gas light ?
Such a course of action appears to be
proper in view of. the pitiful dollar and cent
excuse for continually leaving us at the mer-
cy of the uncertain, fitful light of the glow-
worms. Thus silence the excuse and try to
place ourselves once mere in the enjpymcnt
of that help to comfort and safety that may
be expected in any enlightened commu-
nity.
Some action is at once required that we
have the protection that well-lighted streets
afford in absence of a more reliable police.
To show the importance, the necessity of a
competent and effective police and well
lighted streets, call to mind the recent at-
tempt so nearly successful to garottc and
gag a young lady on the public thorough-
fare to South Norwalk, before ten o’clock in
the evening. Such a fact as this merits more
than a. passing attention. '55
MEssns. Entrons.—Will not the Officers of
the Borough be kind enough to enforce the
by-law passed last year relating to the re-
moval of the numerous low hanging branch-
es of trees that now obstruct carriage and
team travel on our streets and highways?
and is not the Borough responsible for any
damage that may arise therefrom? "
MAKING HOME HAPPY—Among the promi—
nent evils of the age is that of allowing boys
to spend their evenings awa om the fami-
ly circle. The great duty *brents is to
make home not only the nursery of piety ,
but cheerful and pleasant.
To guard children from the contaminating
influences of evil society, parents and guard-
ians should see that they are supplied with
some cheerful entertainment at home. They
should give them an Opportunity of improv—
ing their minds by gaining useful knowl-
edge, and furnish them with books, the ex-
pense of which would be far less than to
provide them with funds for amusement
away from home.
If parents do their whole duty in interest-
ing their children during the evenings, they
may hope it will prevent them from associa-
ting with the vilc and abandoned, and with
proper treatment they will have no disposi-
tion to wander from home. Many youths
of good natural abilities have been ruined by
substituting the street and places of public
resort for the family fireside.
The habits of the boy will cling to the
man. His standing and usefulness in life
will depend upon the training received
under the domestic roof. Thou nds of
boys, who otherwise, by the mercy of Christ,
and trusting in Him, would have inscribed
their names upon the roll of immortality,
have been ruined by unhappy homes, or the
I want of a cheerful domestic circle. Youth
is fond of pleasure, and if deprived of it at
' home, naturally goes elsewhere to seek it.

leave that unpleasant taste or foulness in the month
so usual after smoking other forms Of tobacco, nor
does it cause a room where it is smoked to become so
