LEGISLATIVE.

flgcecdings before the Legislature. 1““
week, were of unusual local and general in-
terest. The friends of the city charter for
South Norwalk had their hearing before
committee “and made a good showing of the
necessity for some municipal organization
for. thatspirited and rapidly growing sec-
tion of the town. W. R. Smith, Esq, At-
torney for our borough, and Mayor Asa
Smith, ditto, were present with the ,5 view of
changing the boundary lines between the
two corporations on the southwest. It was
claimed by our South Norwalk friends that~
the school district line and the voting line
should be the boundary of division, and the
indications are that the committee will so
report their bill. We are confident every
good citizen in the upper district Will wish
our South Norwalk friends the utmost suc-
cess in their new experiment of' govern~
ment. We certainly commend their wisdom
in seeking a city organization at the outset.

The committee on incorporations also
heard the application, for the organization
in this town of a Mutual Benefit Associag
tion, which allows the poorest laborers in a
community to make provision for their fam-
ilies at death, without forfeiture or the pay--
ment of the excessive assessments of Life
Insurance companies. ~

The committee on Railroadsfievoled the
week to the application of the Ridgefield &
Port Chester read for a chart to Danbury.
As this is a serious tap on t ' Dafibury &.
Norwalk, that Corporation was heard in
answer. Mr. Wm. C. Street was put under
the most trying fire, and all of one sessiOn
was consumed by his examination. His for-
mer enthusiastic support of the Pdrallel,
gave the attorneys for this new charter a
fine opportunity to arraign our friend Street
on his record; but somehow, he seemed

 

' like the Frenchman’s rubber ball, to “jump

up zc higher, ze harder he is knocked
down." Our friend Street showed them he
was too familiar with the ways of the lobby
men, to be caught at any point. The im-
pression seemed to prevail that the commit-
tee would render a majority report against
the applicants, but that the House would be
quite likely to grant the prayer of the peti-
tioners. It is more than surmised that rail~
road committees in our State, are “fearfully

and wonderfully made”—up, by existing

corporations.

The absorbing question before any com-
mittee,howcver, was the hearing given by
our hicnd Woodward’s Female Suffrage
committee. The interest was intense, and
no one, apparently, was more thoroughly, in
sympathy with the movement, than the sen-
atorial chairman himself. The component
parts of that committee, eclipse all others
attached to the present Legislature. A Mrs.
Middlebrook, of Trumbull, appeared before
them and in an argument of over an hour,
proved woman’s right to the ballot, to sit on
the judge's bench, in the jury box.and in
Congress and the Legislature, with ’an elo-
quent power of logic that few male bipeds
could equal, not to say excel, We could
see by the sparkle of our young and suscep-
tible Senator’s eyg, that he, at least, had
been carried off his old time Democratic
moorings, and had he not taken the precau:
tion to have suppressed himself by a hearty
dinner at the New Haven Housojlst before
the argument, we have no doubt, on two or
three occasions, he would have sprung to
his feet, hat in hand, and . swung oil with
three tumultuous cheers in genuine Tamma-

ny. style. His heart 15 too susceptible to with-

stand both eloquence and beauty combined.
Next Tuesday another fair declaimer is to
fill up her voice, before the same committee
when the Senate chamber will; be thrown
open to the crowds of‘eage'r spectators.

The State House question was the absorb-
ing‘ theme in. the House. ‘An unusual flow
of eloquence was indulged on either side.
We thinkthe best speeches- were those of
.Dr. Miller, of Enfield, for Hartford, and
Jmlzes Olmstead, of Stamford, for‘things “as
they are.” The speech of our friend Olm-
stead was unanswerablc, in statistical facts,
and made a decided impression upon the
House. The effort was creditable to him in
every sense and his congratulations well
earned... The measure comes up again this
week ill a somewhat different shape, but the
final result- will no doubt be to let "well
enough alone.”

 

WThe Sunday- School teachers of South
N orwalk, are still at work, and, as will be
seen by their advertisement in another
column, have now announced a second
public meeting of their association,forMon-
day evening next. The principal liaiure of
the exercises will be an address by Rev. J.
H. Vincent, ofNew York, whose name is
familiar to many:- of our readers. As a
speaker upon Sunday School topics, Mr.
Vincent- has- perhaps no superior in this
country, and those who can secure seats for
this occasion may count themselvesfortunatc
indeed. '

The Executive committee have arranged
a system of complimentary tickets, securing
reserved seats, and only those holding these
cards will be admitted,until twenty minutes”
to, eight o’clock. At that time, however, the
doors will be thrown open to all who may
come, and the ushers in attendance will sent,
them to. the best advantage, no seats being
reserved for tickets not presented before
that time. The exercises will begin prompt-
1y at quarter before eight o’clock.

Whit Asa Foote, a respectable farmer
of Wilton, went to Canada to. purchasb a.
pair of horses,-just at the time when the blue
noses were frightened out of their wits by
the Fenians. He was instantly “spotte ”
as an Irish ranger, firecbooter and pirate,
though perfectly innocent of the first touch
of the “meet Irish brogue.” He is still'kept
in custody, and we presume Senator Ferry
will]; have another constituent to get released
from “furrin’ ” complication and enthrall-
mgnt. '

 

IMPROVEMENTS—Mirth ’ Grace is vigor-
ously at work filling up the hollow, as vo-
ted by the town, near the residence of Eben
Hill, Esq. This will be a very great in)-
provemcnt to West Avenue, when comple-
ted, and add much to the beauty of that lo-

cality. We learn that the hollow on the
north side of the Alderman Nash home-
stead, is also to be filled into a grade with
the rest of his yard.’ There are few im-
provements that could be made to any resia
deuce in town, that would so well repay the

outlay. '

FALSE ALARM.—The »mysterious“iuove- _

ments of our Borough Engineer, which
caused such} terrible apprehensions last
week, turns out only to be a most commendf
able attempt to obtain a map of the Borough
and fix the grades of our walks and streets,
This has been prolonged to our sorrow and
cost. '

Branch Road to Eldgcficld.

We learn that the branch from the Dan-
bury_& Norwalk Railroad to Ridgefield vile

' logo is so far advanced that the main track

will probably be completed this week, and
that as soon as completed a train will leave
Ridgefield to connect at Branchville with
the morning train down and evening train
up, while the turn table, turn-outs and depot
ore being constructed. which will probably
occupy the balance of this month, and that
by the first day of July the branch will be
in am running order. “Ridgefield Station,”
on the D. & N. R. R., is hereafter to be
known as “Branchville,” which will, we
suppose, necessitate a change in name by
the Post-ofilce Department. We hear that
on the completion of the branch road a new
ticket system Is to be, adopted on main
road branch by which passengers can pur-
chase trip or round tickets at a considera-
ble reduction in price, a system that has
beep. adopted on railroads in New Jersey
with great success. The price for trip or .
round tickets from Ridgefiéld to So. Nor-
walk,has been fixed at one dollar and fifty
cents, a saving on our present prices by
railroad and stage of seventy cents, which
together with the fact that the time occupied
will be an hour less per trip, is calculated,
we believe, to bring our Ridgefield friends
in our midst much more frequently than of
late years. .

The trip tickets from Danbury to So. Nor-
walk are twelve and one-half per cent. less
than present prices, with a corresponding-
reduction fiom other stations on the_ road.
We believe the company will find the new
system to work well and bring a large in
crease of travel on their road. '

WWe are glad to note that Hon. S. W.
Kellogg, of our'Connecticut delegation, res-
olutely opposed the re-enactment of the
odius' “Income tax.” The feeling among
the people is that it is, (in view of the bur-
dens already borne by this generation) more
creditable to the nation to pay fifty millions
a year of our indebtedness than t6 pay one
hundred millions. And no tax is so obnox-
ious asthat on Incomes. Let it die, with
other measures rcpdered necessary by the
war. A .

S'ror Tuner !—Quite a panic was caused
in Winnipauk 'a few nights since, in conse-
quence of the supposed stepling of Mr. E. C.
Bissell’s horse and photon. Mr. "Geo. H.

yard very stealthily, and then drive off at a
rapid rate towards Wilton. He instantly
flew across to notify his neighbor of the loss,
when On rushing to the barn, sure enough
the horse was gone I Mr. Randlels fleetcst
steed was instantly harnessed, the neighbor--

bines and‘res of the late war hurriedly

novelty of costume was remarked by our.
friend Bundle, who made his predominance
of muslin and excuse for getting back into
the house, but this being interpreted by the
rest, to evince a want of valor, he was
induced to jump into the vehicle. “ all

nether garments flapping to the rear like an
old lady’s family washing in a gale. They'
had proceeded nearly to Gregory’s - mill,
when-lo! the audacious thief was descried
coming back with his booty. He was
instantly halted and surrounded by a lineof
ghostly figures,with 'a whole'park pf artillery
pointed at his head. Whether the visitants
were from the super-natural World, or a.
committee of the sons of Malta, the poor
culprit could not divine. His checks were
as colorless as the flowing robes of his cap-

deserted him he at once owned up {hat he

ANECDOTES on MR. LINCOLN __
0n the occasion of one of our visits at the
White House —for the Tribune, Mr. Lincoln
was quite disturbed at some severe but
fi'iendlycriticisms which had appeared in
that paper. _ Alter explaining to us that Mr.
Greeley did not understand him, he re-
marked, _with his peculiar twinkle of the
eye, “ Well, I suppose I ought not to com-
plain, for Horses is generally with me about
four days out of seven, and that’s better
than he has ever done for any other admin-
istration.” .

Another “ little slory”_hc used to delight
in telling was the remarks of two Quaker-
csses, concerning himself. They were dis-
cussing the probable results of the war,
when one remarked, “ I think J cfi'srson will
succeed.” " Why does thee think so i” said
the other. “ Because Jefferson is a‘ praying
man,” was the response. “ And so is Abra-
ham a,>praying man,” objected the other.
“Yes, but the Lord will think Abraham is
joking," conclusively replied the believer in
Davis’s success. "

It will be remembered that he was at one
time taken down suddenly and most inex-
plicably, with the varioloid. After his.oon-
valescencehe‘ remarked to us that “ theie
was some satisfaction in it, after all. It was
the first time since he had been President
that he had had anything he could possibly
give, that somebody didn’t want.” Facts
developed al the close of the war leave little
chance to doubt but that he was' contam-
‘atcd with smaleox through rebel purpose
to destroy his life. .

Another anecdote is detailed by Attorney
General Speed. A distant friend ~of the
General's. was exceedingly anxious to meet,
Mr. Lincoln, so calling one evening he ob-
served him to be unusually warm and weary,
whereupon he began apologizing. “- I am
very sorry, my sorry Mr. President to dis-
turb you.” “ Speed,” instantly rejoined Mr.
Lincoln, “you remind me of a ‘little story’

his way to church he saw some newsboys
pitching pennies on the walk. Stopping
and looking at them in amazement, he said,
‘ Boys, I’m scared—scared." ‘ Then why
in h—l don't you run .” answered the lead-
ing news-dispensing specimen of depravity.

Endangering Travel {and Wasting Tax:
' . on on EC.“ Avenue;

Masses. Enrroas:— We wish to call the. public n'o-
tice to the dangefons embankment that is now in
process of construction on East Avenue just north ,of
St. John Avenue, composed of useless road material
and the most extravagant for a highway; it might
be better used for gardening purposes. We'wish Our
citizens to examine this useless and dangerous work
of repairing (7) the streets, and to protest against
any more of it, and to have this piece it once recon-
structed. . .~
,The road master may find himself liable to prose-
cution should any serious accident happen from the"
upsetting of vehicles into the pltlloles on each side of
the [improvement ‘2] embankment. .

One of these dangerous excavations, probably in-
tended for a gutter. would seem to be entirely out of
place for that purpose—being too near the line of
the center of the Avenue._. A'Tax Pane.

To run Ennoxs or ran Cantu—Eight years use
the building of 'a Horse Railway in this place was op.
posed by some on the ground that its benefit to the
public would not compensate the resulting injury to
West Avenue. In reference to this opposition those
In authority re acted-the liberal ofi‘er by thd' Railroad
Company to give the whole avenue a proper grade
without expense to the Town, and compelled the
Company to contain its track, as far as possible, to
the irregular surface bf the'earrlsge way. _ The same
influences which worked then (not over wisely it
would seen) are now opposing the establishment of
a permanent grade, paved-sidewalks and gutters on
the same avenue.

Those who are content to walk in the time-honored
though somewhat contracted, paths of tlfelr forefath-
ers, oppose the innovations of a well-drained street
with broad and easy sidewalks because the plan in-
volvssthe destruction of some of the trees which
adorn thp Avenue. Their argument certain]! de-
serves respectful consideration, but before public
opinion decides the whole case, the other side should
beheard. _

How long shall the Avenue remain in its present
condition with a hep-hazard grade permitting no
systematic drainage, with side ditches in some places
two feet dcep,aud to others higher than the
middle of the street, and with the opposite side
paths generally dlfierlug' in level ~fr6m two to .six
feet 7 Not forever, certainly—on the insln thorough-
fare of the town where the lots are worth from fifty
to one hundred dollars a_ foot. .Then it would seem
‘wise to apply the remedy now, for with every year’s
delay the difficulty and expense of what: is inevitable
:11 rapidly increasing. The trees are not to be cut
dowh Wantonly, nor in any case where it can be
avoided, but some‘of them are in the way and are
insenslblc to moral session. We might wait if they
Rpromlsed to die natural deaths within a reasonable
time. but every year they strengthen their position
by a deeper hold in the soil and our afi‘ections, and
a wider spread of leafy splendor. - '

Now if the situation of these trees is to control
the proposed location of curb and grade lines on
the sti-eet the improvement had better stop now be-
fore any money is wasted in doing what will be un-
done in less than a dozen years, after it has deceived
the lot owners into making improvements on their
property whose value will be more or less destroyed
by a subsequent change of the street grade. The need
is fora permanent grade, and to be permanent It must
eb practical and sensible. The property owners on
this Avenue have petitioned for such a grade and
are mostly in favor of Its immediate construction.
They are willingto pay the expense and neither they
nor the public can afi’erd to wait till the trees the
and rot. Without doubt most of them desire a gen-

gencles of their individual lots and will be, more or
less stringent on this point secordlng to Individual
character. . The proprietor whose present side path
and trees are a foot or two above the centre 2! the
street will suggest the propriety of raising the centre
grade, to save his trees and avoid a bank wall under
his fence. Hts opposite neighbor whose lot is already
too low will see more sense In lowering the sti’eet
grade to avoid a bank well under his his fencp and
the damning up of surface drainage on his lot. The
Horse Railroad people will be alive to the advantages
of a compromise leaving the centre grade where it
new is. Where the trees stand sixteen feet from the
fence a 'wide sidewalk will find favor, and where
they are but six feet out a liberal carriage way will
be recommended. A clear majority of these parties
will probably discover radical faults in the details of
any plan finally adopted. I feel authorized to state
that the Borough Surveyor will be happy to receive
suggestions from any one who can arrange the lines
of grade so as to improve the Avenue on good cn‘
glneerlng principles and at the same time save all
the trees and accommodate the special Interests of
each lot owner. . ‘
Our Borough authorities propose this work in good
faith and for the benefit of the public. If public
sent at does not sustain them, let there be an end
tothe stale cry of lnefiiclency in our municipal gov-
ernment. S.

 

Trimming the tree- on the Streets.

In the part call'ed'Puddlng Lane, the light from some
