; The Parelhl‘ Road Case,
* How 11‘ STANDS.
‘ The joint standing committee on'Rail-
roads have concluded their reports—for
» there are two, as was expected—and they
were introduced into the Senate on Friday,
and made the special order for today,
Tuesday, at 19 o’clock. Five members of
the Committee, to the surprise of nearly ev-
erybody, sign an adverse Report, prepared
and put into their hands by the Attorney’s
of the New Haven road. Although this re-'
sultwas unexpected to the friends of the
people’s interests is this matter,'in so fer at
least as the one vote is concerned, we are
confident that all the moral effect of a ma-
jority repo_t is with the Parallel cause, al-
though but four members give it their sig-
natures.
WHAT THEY SAY.
The majority report starts out with the
averments that “no public necessity canistefor
said railroad, and no public interest would be
promoted by its construction.” That five in-
telligent and upright men could be found to
endorse this proposition is one of the anom-
alies of modern legislation and proves con-
clusively that they do not live in this quar-
ter of the State. When was there ever a
new bank chartered that the old one could
discover“ a public necessity” for the com-
petitor. Do not the six thousand and more
petitioners, whose names were before this
committee and comprising 19 they do the
substantial men of property and poiiricai
influence, all along the line of the old road
and the proposed new one, constitute the
surer and better judgment as to such “pub-
lic necessity.” These petitioners are the
parties who know all the facts, devoid the
colorings of the monopolies paid attorney.
They are the persons who desire to use the
new road and expect to be especially accom.
modated by its constructiOn. They do not
err in their judgment as to its necessiv.
WHO WOULD BE BENEFITTED.
The new road proposes to carry passen-
gers at two-and-a-half cents per mile. The
old road charges three. It would seem that
every man, woman and child, going to or
returning from New York, would be person-
ally and individually benefitted by saving a
full dollar each trip, from New Haven, sev-
enty-flee cents . from Hridgeport, .and sirty
from Norwalk. ‘
BUT THEY CAN’T AFFORD IT.
So say the paid lobbyists of the old mo-
nopoly. But the New York Central, with‘
its healthy competition, runs for two ..conts
- per mile, and that has just declared its regu-
lar semi-annual] dividend of four per cent.
and its stock was one hundred and ninely-two
and a quarter, on Saturday last. We have
the judgment of some of the best railroad
minds in this country, that the New Haven
Railroad Stock will command a hundred
and fifty in the market in less than two
yfis after the new road is in full compe-
" " WHAT Is PROPOSED To an DONE.
The people of Connecticut and New York
desire to connect the gap of thirtyfour miles
between the Portchestcr road and the Derby
& New Haven road. This will ensure an
immediate outlay of some u‘z millions of doi-
lars in this state. It would strike a business
man, that this expenditure of money in the
purchase of right of way, material and la—
bor, would prove promotivc Of the public
interests, even if a car never ran upon the
track,and the real estate were not ten-folded
in its value, as it must and will be, on the
completion of the road.
WHAT WOULD En EAonRLr ENCOURAGED
lLSIWHEnE.
Ifthe N. Y..general railroad law was in
operation here, we could and would be
eagerly encouraged to make this expendi-
ture even though we laid our track within
ten rods of the old road. In Pennsylvania,
Wisconsin, and most other Western States,
it would be the same. Even in New Jersey,
now that she has brok. the same Camden
and Amboy monopoly that the New Haven
road seeks to impose upon Connecticut, this
capital would be enthusiastically welcomed.
For New Jersey has proved that new roads
not only have added vastly to the wealth
and population of that State, but has aug-
mented the business of the old roads ! Would
the Legislature of Connecticut put a Chi-
nese wall across the portals of our State to
keep out wealth and population now eager
to come to us, fer the sake of continuing the
running up of the value Of the old road in
the stock market, so as to require constant
watering of its capital to cover its exeessive
dividends. We can’t believe so illiberel
and suicidal a policy is now going to b
inaugurated.
'53 '
\
WHAT ALL KNOW.
It has been the policy of our State to
charter all new and feasible roads. It has
granted three already, to compete with our
little Danbury Road. It has just chartered
another parallel to and to compete with,
the Naugatuck from Derby to Waterbury.
It is true these are weak roads and have no
hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay out
to lobby lawyers and importuners. Were
the New Haven Road in the same condition
all men !lesson: that this parallel road would
have been chartered three years ago and its
trains now running to bless and profit every
citizen of our State. ‘ '
BUT WE MUST Do No WRONG.
Does the State pledge itself not to charter
another Bank, Insurance Company, or Mani
ufacturing Corporation, when the first ones
are created ? Has the New Haven Road,
which made money the first year it ran, and
does more than ten tablecloths-business it did
then and constantly increasing it with enor—
mous rapidity, a presumptive right to stop
the gate-way to the world’s emporium by its
single line ? ‘ If so, our argument is at at an
end. If not, then let this road and as many
more as there can be found money to con-
struct, be built.
wno OBJECTS ?
NO human being objects to the building
of this contemplated road- It is no exag-
geration to assert that full nine-tenths of all
t voters of this section would have gladly
signed the petition in aid had they had 0?.
portunity. Not a solitary individual, not
one Of the dozen connecting roads, pouring
their business into the New Haven Road,
appear with any remonstrance. Even their
- «on paid lobbyists in, their inmost hearts, be-
lieve that it is unqu to refuse this charter
and argue the other way, not from convic-
tion, but fer pay. Any member of the pres-
ent Legislature can readily satisfy himself
of this fact if he wishes. In the House last
year, butfourteen voted adversely, with over
a hundred majority for its passage.
' WILL YOU Do IT?
Messrs. Legislators can yon, erL YOU,
deny to these petitiones, the poor privilege.
of thus benefitting and enriching this State,
your own constituents? Will’you present
the inauguration of cheaper fares ? Will you
arrest so vast an addition to our grand '
'list, and so momentous a diminution of the
people’s burden of taxation ? If .you act
.wisely’and for the public weal, as we be-
lieve you will,‘l.thia petition will be granted.
If fi'om' perverted judgment or other
causes, it be denied, it but prolongs the -
' strife, for some it must and will. The PEOPLE
knew their rights and knowing dare and

Our Proposed Cemetery end Park.
The people ofNew Britian Were the first »
borough we believe, in Connecticut, to in-
troduce water works. The result of that
wise public spiritedness has been most man-
ifest. It has added largely to ’their local
business interests bccausegof the power it
7 who do not require and can-
not afi‘ord steam engines. It has given them
too, a large additional population of the
wealthier class who have been attracted
thither by the enhanced conveniences of
the water, ready at all times for domestic or
' ornamental uses. Ithas promoted the health,
wealth and growth of New Britain, by gen-
eral acclaim. But the same wise public
Spiritedn which secured their water-
works, is l alive and finds various mani-
fold manifestations. The, latest is an appli-
cation to the present Legislature to give-their
town powerto take lands and borrow money
for the purpose of establishing a Public
Park. The piec'e of land which was orig-
inally designed for the purpose, is known
as Walnut Hill, and comprises about thtrty-
five acres} It was purchased in 1856 by an
association of citizens, and they now pro-
pose to transfer it to the town, for park pur-
poses, at the price paid with simple interest.
The original tract commands :one of the
loveliest views in that section of the State.
From its summit, vale, forest, hill, cities and
villages can be seen for miles. Mr. Olm-
stead, the engineer of the New York Cen-
tral Park has béen engaged to advise as to
the manner of laying out the grounds, and
he proposes the addition of fifty acres ad-
joining the present site, which will make
the whole amount some eighty or ninety
acres. ‘ The whole Expense will be about
seventy-five thousand dollars, and the senti-
ment Of the people of the town is unani-
mously in favor of the project.
Think of that ye men Of Norwalk! Unan-
imously infaoor of the enterprise!
These thrifty New Britain people know
what they are about, arid know that it pays
to thus beautify and render their town at-
tractive. And so when an enterprise comes
up which would stagger almost any other
town or city in the State, or at least be-
get a spirited opposition, We find these
shrewd ConneCticut Yankees unanimous in
their desire for local improvements
Another little town, not quite one-half so
large as Norwalk, in an adjoining State,
and to which '_frequent allusion has bed!
made in these columns, secured its Park
first, and now boasts of its water-wo:ks just
completed. This Park is a distinctive and
original feature, which in our humble judg-
ment combines precisely the needs Of Nor-
walk. It commises some five hundred acres
of abrupt, broken land, the front or entrance
portion of which constitutes a most chaste
and beautiful Cornetery. The rear and, re-
mote portions of the plot are interspersed
with winding roads, which are the only im-
provements made, the old woods and rocks
remaining in primitive beauty, save perhaps
the setting new and then of some pine, ce-
dar or cypress. This is the Central Park of
all that region. .Its charming, winding,
wood-shaded drives, attracting families for
miles around. As the requirements for
burial purposes increase, improvements ad-
vance upon this outlying or Park reserve,
so that for all the centuries to come, there is
ground enough for burial purposes and also
to supply such a certain income as assures
constant care and beautifying. This is the
admirable feature that commends it to our
admiration. This is precisely what we need
here in Norwalk, and precisely what a few
influential citizens are just; now interesting
themselves to secure. ‘
The meeting called for next Friday even-
ing is for this purpose, and to canvass the“
question of a location. This, at first th'o’ght
to many, seems difficult of attainment. But
we have here in Norwalk, lying close to our
very doors, a tract of about the samb extent,
surpassing in picturesque loveliness the nat.
.ural topography of either Greenwood or.
Mount Auburn. Here grand old woods,
lakes, rocks, hillocks and ravines blend in a
wild and charming beauty so attractive as
to start the exclamation from all vvho visit
the locality, “ Well, I never had any idea of
anything so charming, and so near Nor-
walk.” *

[3‘ We are glad to know that our friend
Ashley pf the Portchestcr Journal, has had
a free pass sent him by President Bishop.
We knew that it was only needful that the
GAZETTE should remind the courteous rail-
road manager of his Oversight to have the
.thing righted. You see after he had shoved
them off upon every editor in Connecticut,
and many members of our Legislature, also,
like the foolish ostrich with head hid in the
sand, he supposed his entire corporation
wholly shielded. It did not «tour to him
that although friend Asbtey’s Constituency
was not represented in our Connecticut Leg-
islature. his paper would nevertheless stry
over the line, and his spicy criticisms of that
monopoly be copied by the GAZETTE. We
are glad to know that it is all right now,
and we trust the Journal editor will not im-
pertinentiy query as do some of the more
remote Connecticut editors, why Bishop
never bethought himself of this “ courtesy”
before he was threatened with competition,
and whether the “courtesy will be contin-
ued after the parallel road is built? Such
conundrums indicate ingratitude and should
be suppressed.

WWe referred _to the fact yesterday
that Woodrufi'do Beach invited the Legisla-
ture to view a new stave machine in
order that they may receive a special
charter, and we are happy to add to—day,
that the Legislature, after making the visrt,
refused to grant the charter. Our readers
will remember that we s oke Of the bad
policy shown by the New . ork railroad in
inviting’the Legislature to take afree excur-
sion over that road, giving as a reason
that such invitations usuall worked agains
the party giving them. C also spoke of
the short-sightedness of the Parallel road
men in having that invitation declined.
The result is, that the committee reports 5
to4against the Parallel road. Had they
gone on the excursion, we have no doubt
the report would have been different, and
their action in the stave machine is evi-
dence .of the correctness of our views.
—Bridgeport Standard.
[Q'Our friend‘of the Standard does the
parallel road men in the legislature an in-
justice. He will find when the vote comes
to be taken on the latter measure, that many
who voted not to go on the junketing
frolic, will nevertheless give way. to the SO-
-ciai blandishments and personal importuni-
ties 9f Mr. Bishops paid lobby, and vote to
continue the New Haven road monopoly.
We think the frolic to Central Park, was set-
tled from a candid sense of its impropriety.
We agree with the Standard that the Paral-
lel road interests would have been promo-
ted by that excursion. The Legislature
would have been greeted with more than
tenjhousand people at. our depots clamoré
ing for the Parallel. .

INDICNANT.——About Wenty members Of
the Legislature, availing themselves of
President Bishop’s free passes, went to
Gotham, on. Friday week. Disembarking
fi-om the cars at 27th Street two New York-
ers stood by when the following colloquy
occurred :—
“You don’t pretend to say that is all of
the Connecticut Legislature ?”
“ Yes i I so understand it.”
“But is’nt it a d—d small Legislature 2”
“Yes, but Connecticut is a d—d small
state, you know,” responded the last, with a
coolness and gravity that fairly outraged
the state pride of the member from Frank-
lin.
He now insists that the ‘bOdy of which
he is so distinguished a member, shall, as
soon as the railroad case is out of court, go
down to New York with all its members,
reporters, door-keepers, messengers and
lobby-hordes, to see if they can’t impress that
commercial metropolis with at least the nu-
merical magnitude of the body. The state
ought to be thus vindicated.
A GOOD SAMARITAN.—-Olll‘ friend Boatty,

lobby-men and Legislators, at Hartford, it

Comment is unnecessary, further than to
suggest that if the New Haven road cannot
afford to carry for less than three cents, how
is it that it can afford to expend for defeat-

Among the general improvements which
are evident in and about our thriving town,
none are more noticeable, or mere needed,
than in our Livery accommodations. The
time has been, and at no very remote period
either, when our people were absolutely
compelled to go- out of town for carriages;
upon occasions when a neat . and comforta-
ble outfit was desired—but in this respect
5‘ old things have passed away,” "and Our
Livery establishments are second to none in
the State. ' ' '
We noticed on a late funeral occasion, no
less than sixteen neat, comfortable'and'some
even elegant double carriages in the proCes¥
sion—and upon inquiry of “the gentleman
who had them in charge, Dann successor Of
D. S. Bartram, Esq—we learned that they
were all furnished by the proprietors of the
two establishments at the Bridge. .
From personal observation and experi-
ence, we bear testimony to the fine appear-
ance and comfort of Mr. Dann’s carriages
both double and single. The improvement
in horseshas kept pace with that of car-
riages, indeed, some of his-double teams are
scarcely exceeded either in style or speed, by
anything in the private stables Of our people.
We learn thatMr. Dean is negotiating for
the purchase of the property now occupied
by him in his business. With the in;
creased facilities, ownership will give him,
together with his life long experience in
Livery matters, and the superior advantages
he thus affords the public—he cannot fail to
receive a generous support. We commend
him to the patronage Of the community.

BOOKS WORTH HAVING.—Tlle Hartford
Publishing Co., to whom the public are in-
dcbted for very. many most valuable books,
have now in press a work on Connecticut
Law, by Franklin Chamberiin, which seems
to us tO be an indispensable companion to
every man at all interested in any of the
business affairs Of life.‘ J. S. Dunning, of
Norwalk, is now canvassing for the book,
the copy of. which will explain for itself its
scope and value. Judge Butler thus heartily
commends it :'—
NORWALK, May 24, 1969.
I have examined about 270 pages of a
forthcoming work on “ American Commer-
cial Law,” by Franklin Chamberlin, Esq.,
adapted to the wants particulariy ofbusiness
and non-professional men; although 'sufli-
cicntly full to be also useful to the profes-
sion. I have also examined a synopsis of
its contents, as it will be published com-
pleted. - ’ ,
I think it a work of decided merit, and
one which should be owned and referred m
by every business man, and by every one
'who desires to have a book which contains
all the most important principles of Com-
mercial Law, well arranged and clearly and
ably stated, with all the necessary business
forms accompanying them.

“GATES AJAB."—No book of recent publi-
cation has challenged so general interest and
reading as the above quaint titled book,
recently issued fl'om the press of Fields, Os-
good d5 00., Boston. The little work which
has engrossed so much of popular attention
is the production of a very gifted daughter
Of Professer Phelps. The book has had a
wonderful success 'and enormous sale. We
advise any who have not read it to leave an
order with Selleck, and have him send for
it. A new work by the same talented sn-
thoresa is also out, which'we have not seen,
called “Men, Women and Ghosts.”
Another enticing book, them the same
house is “On the_Wing,”by John Bumstead,
an elegantly printed and illustrated book
for sportsmen. The instructions for the use
of the gun or ride are minute, and the de-
scriptions of the different kinds of game are

How COMMODORE VANDERBILT was OUT-
erTED.—It is not often that the shrer,
cunning Railway Kin is foiled in his plans.
Thorou hly unscrupu ous, full of push and
vigor, o d as he is, and fruitful in resources,
he generall‘y contrives to carry his point.
Occasional y, however, he fails. The com-
modore has just encountered another re-
pulse. Some time since he concluded to
consolidate the Lake Shore road (including
the Michigan Southern) with his other roads,
so as to have a through transit to the West.
To sorry but his plans he proceeded to pur~
chase the proxies of the first mentioned roads
with a viewto control the election for ofii—
c'ers and' having his son-in-iew, Horace F.
Clark, elected president. Sufficient proxies,
were obtained and deposited in- the hands of
a certain Broad .street broker, who was to
en incerthe thing. , . . . , 1
he latter, however, proved false to.the
commodOl-e'. . Having received the proxies
from him, he proceeded at once to work
with another party,and another’man and not
Horace F. Clark was chosen, president. , As
a result, Commodore Vanderbilt will be
compelled to 'deia another year before he,
can consummate is'consoiidation schemes,
which are regarded .with great aversion here. _
