'l'h‘c Election FI'uudo.
The Legislative Committee to canvass the
recent vote, examined the Cheshire vote and
found that the Republican moderator re-
turned 233 votes for Jewell and 216 for Eng-
glisb, while the democratic moderator re-
turned only 210 for Jewell, deducting twen-
ty-three votes from the Republican ticket on
the ground that twenty-three names were
informally registered, although there was no
evidence to show for whom the twenty-three
irregular voters had voted. The Committee
found in Enfield that the Democratic vote
was increased twenty by counting a package
of tickets as ninety-six instead of seventy-
six. They then went to New Haven and
investigated the 4th Ward. The democratic
Town Clerk was first on the stand but he
proved himself with studied effort a most
perfect“ know nothing.” It was evident to
all who listened to the debate in the House,
but the more respectable portion of the de-
mocracy and even Mr. Eaton himself he-
trayed a conscious knowledge or fear of the
frauds so readily found upon the examina-
tion. On opening the State box and counting
the ballots, there were found to be just one
hundred less for Marshall Jewell than the
board had‘ returned. That they were ab-
stracted from Jewell’s vote is demonstrated
from the following facts: .
1. Accoréing to the present count,English
and the entire democratic state ticket run
100 in excess of Mr. C. R. Ingersoll, the able
and popular representative—the legislature
--which is increditable. ‘
2. In addition, it makes Jewell and the
entire republican state ticket run just 100
behind John L. Treat, the republican candi-
date for second representative, which is also
increditable.
3. In addition, it makes Kendrick, who
was scratched on 102 democratic tickets,
run within three votes of Mr. Stoddard,
their candidate for second representative,
and within a few votes of Mr. Ingersoll.
’4. Further, it makes Mr. English’s major“
ity in this ward 232, whereas his highest
majority in the ward heretofore has been
only 79.
The fraud is an outrageous one, Whether
its authors can be detected and exposed, re-
mains to be seen. ,
That this Tammany fraud would be perpe-
trated precisely as it has‘been (in case the
Legislature opened the box) was predicted
by everybody, but it was supposed the vil
lains would be sharp enough to fix the Rep-
resentative Box, also, so as to make that
tally with their state votes. But this they
failed to do and thus have left themselves
caught in a tnfi) of their own setting. We
presume the. Legislature will now vote .to
throw out the whole vote of that ward in
consequence of this sclf-evidentfraud.
Monday Morning May 8th. .
P. S.—Fivn HUNDRED AND. TWENTY-NINE
republican electors of the Fourth ward have
already signed declarations that they voted
on the 3d of April for Marshall Jewell for
Governor; This is fifty more votes _ than
' were found in the box for the republican
State ticket at the recount on Friday.
0178 WATER WORKS.
The Board of Water Commissioners re-
port that they have completed contract for
furnishing and laying the water ,pipe with
he Patent Water 85 Gas Pipe Company, of
Jersey City, upon terms judged favorable to
the Borough. They have also completed
and .closed contract for making the trench,
with Mr. Wadleigh of Brooklyn, at the rate
of 21 cents per lineal foot for earth, and
$3.50 per square yard for rock, which being
the lowest bid, with security satisfactory.
Work upon the trench will be begun on or
before the 10th of May, and the pipe manu-
factured near the New Canaan Bridge. The
large Reservoir in New Canaan near. the
residence of Charles Grupc, the ground
having been purchased, is being rapidly
cleared of trees, and shrubbery, and pre-.
seats a fine appearance for the purpose for
which it is intended. It will pay any of our
citizens any fine afternoon to inspect the
same.
Now if our Borough authorities would
only contract for a proper survey of the
grades necessary to inaugurate'the requisite
.sewers, a whole year might be saved our
. citizens, and the fill! enjoyment of the
' water secured by us this fall. Cannot this
be done ? " ‘

to refrain from committig any of the acts
thereby prohibited. He exhorts the peo-
ple of the South to suppress all unlawful
combinations by local laws. Although re-

' W Senator Ferry leaves for Washington .
today to attend the extra session of the
' weeks, the said ofiice was open every Sab-
l
B. B. Wing and Flu“.
In a journalistic career of more than thirty
years, we have now, for the firsttime, been
forced into a bitter personal controversy
with a cotemporary, .We had been deeply,
wantonly, and most ungratefully wronged
by one who had ever held a firm place. in
our regard, and to promote whose pecuniary
and personal welfare we had made repeated
and special efforts and sacrifices, as he well
knows and has freely confessed. The unfortu-
nate occurrences, so frequently reiterated, of
his having outraged all our regard for him,
and the good opinion of all fair minded men-
have caused us a grief as sincere and pain,
ful as it would have'doue, had the wicked-
neis been attempted by pur own child. But
graver interests than our own feelings were
involved. After aturc deliberation and
faithful consultation with others, we saw
but the one course to pursue and that was a
public exposure and rebuke of his perfidy,
This was followed by Mr. Wing’s “ Card,”
admitting the main charge involved, of his
having attempted to debauch one of our em-
ployees and forcing money upon him to in-
duce him to steal a Republican ballot from
our ofiice thiithe might counterfeit the same.
To parry the force of the public scorn thus
brought upon himself, he falsely and wick-
edly charged us’with acts as vile as those he
had himself confessed.‘ Had we been the
most depraved wretch on earth, we cannot
see how it could atone for his self-admitted
offence. But enough of this. .We have con-
tinued to reply to his malicious and manda-
cious criminatious, but” as well attempt to-
wind up a watch with a broken spring. His
quibbles and attempted deceptions, in con-
founding split tickets, (which every one
prints-,) and countelfcfts, (which no honorably
conducted ofiicc issues) are endless, and our
replies have only led him into the sin of in-
venting new falsificatious, and the weekly
exhibitions of blacker depravity. .
A mutual friend and an influential resi-
dent of South N orwalk came to as week be-
fore last and begged that we desist from fur;
ther continuance of the controversy. He
assured us that Mr. Wing was heartily sick
of it and undoubtedly ashamed of his cou->
duct. That his friends and our friends were ‘
pained by it, and he'extortcd the promise
from us, that we. would drop it, although
Mr. Wing’s slanders had been wicked and
malignant and beyond patient endurance.
He had in his last added the new and most
aggravating charge of “ forgery” to his oth-
er false accusations; nevertheless, we resolv-
ed to “ let the Heathen rage,” and. so in our
last we openednot our month. With what
results? Incapahle, either of appreciating
our companion, or else so goaded by his
guilty conscience that he could not abide
himself, he again in his last'issue vomits
forth a redoubled dose of most audacious
lies. We have few words.to waste upon a
wretch so utterly destitute. of honor, truth,
gratitude, or decency. He has himself re-
peatedly appealed to an arbitramcnt, and
proffered a liberal contribution to a atriotic
purpose, in event of failure to prove his
calumnies. We have repeatedly accepted
his propositions. But again, and for the last
time, we put it in terms he cannot evade,
without proving before the world that he is
a- skulking kfiave, as well as a slanderer.
Let. him now respond; lockout; own up;
or brazen it out, as he will: -
' 01m FINIS.
You charge that work has been done in
our office on the Sabbath, and agree to pay
$500 for 9. Soldiers’ Monument, if you do
not prove it, on condition we prove our sim-
ilar charge against you, or pay the same
amount, due. .
vWe most cheerfully promise to pay the
$500 if you prove- that any work has ever
been done in the Gazurrn Office on the
Sabbath day, with the knowledge of its pro-
prietors. We will pay $1000 if youwill
prove what,you have charged, that we sent
a “ creature to steal a democratic ballot”
from you—five hundred of it to go to the
. Soldiers’ Monument, and five hundred to
the fund for the disabled ministers of the
M. E. Church. We will pay another $1000,
(divided as above) if you will prove your last
mendacious charge of “ forgery,” in "pre-
tending to copy from the Hartford Post
what never appeared therein; and if you do
not, you shall pay to the disabled clergymen
ofthe M. E. Church, 'which you as a member
have done so much to dishonor, the sum 0f
$500. 80 that the case. stands squarely
thus :—'We are pledged to pay $2,500 on
your proving your allegations; or you $1,000
on failing so to do; and now, no more wrig-
gling and dodging. To .be beyond possi-
bility of unfairness, we will refer the whole
case to the'Rev. Mr. Osborn, Presiding Elder
of this District, for judgment. As you are
now a preacher in that denomination, it is
fitting and prOperthat we make such refer-
ence, for. we can'conceive’ of nothing more
shocking and impious, than that you should
disgrace such a holy calling, while under a
suspicion even, of conduct so depraved and
wicked as that charged and ready to be
proven by us. how, face the music, Mr._
Wing, if you dare. . - ‘

The death of Samuel P. Thrasher, State
Senator elect of New Hampshire, curiously
complicat matters which were by no
means clea before. He was elected bya
very small majority, and if he had lived the
election would have been contested. His
death makes the Senate stand five Repub-
licans and five Democrats, with two vacan-
cies. These two vacancies must be filled by
the two Houses in joint convention. When
there is no choice, or a member elect dies,
the constitutional candidates for the Legis-
lature are the two candidates ”who received
the next highest number of votes; Between
these two the Legislature must choose.
Now, in Mr. Thrasher’s district. the next
highest candidates were Albina Hill of Grey-
den, the Republican nominee. and Alvah
Smith of Lempster,-also a thorough-going
Republican, who got four votes. t is not
probable that the Democrats wlll get con-

exists through the failure of the eople to
elect, they Will. of course, elects. emocrat.

' The nuisances on the-Norwalk Islapds,
which have for some years destroyed the
tram. Bridgeport to' Stamford, greafiy im-
(paired the value of property in the vicinity,
and driven. away many 'who would other-
wise have purchased homes among us, are
it is believed, finally abated. Efi‘orts had
been made fl'om year to year for some years
to cause their. removal by negotiation and
and by the action of the board of health in
some of the towns, but without result. As
the owners were non-residents, difiiculties
existed in the way of effectually prosecuting
them before the courts. Last year; Mr.
John H. Keyser took the matter in hand,
and employed counsel to draft a law which
should enable him to find remedy through
the 'courts. With 'the aid 'of his counsel and
of Hon. E. A. Woodward, then in the Sen-
ate, and of petitions humorously signed, be
secured the passage of the bill, although it
was strongly resisted by those interested in
the works. ,
Mr. Keyser immediately brought his peti-
tions to the Superior Court, under the new
law, praying for the abatement of the nui—
sances. .- .The Goose Island works were first
proceeded against. A temporary injunction
was granted by Judge Minor. '
Then proceedings were begun against the
several fish oil works, and after a very full
and thorough hearing, occupyingfour days,
in which between forty/and fifty witnesses
were examined, the same Judge issued tem-
porary injunctions against all of them. As
it appeared that the result would occasion
great loss to the owne'rs,b1r. Keyser~g'encr—.
ously consented to a suspension of the in-
junctions for the season, on their assurances
to thereafter discontinue the works. Per—
petual injunctions have since been granted
in all those cases against the flirther prose:
cution of the businehs in those localities.
Coe, the proprietor of the Goose Island
works, in defiance 'of the injunction, con-'
tinued to manufacture phosphates, shielding
himself as he hoped by personally remain-
ing out of the State. Application was made
to Judge Minor for further proceedings upon
the violation of the. injunction, and after
notice and a hearing, at which Coe was not
present, the Judge found him guilty of a
' contempt, issued an order to the Sherifi' to
take possession of. the works and prevent
the further. manufacture, and also to arrest
Coo and lodge .him in jail. for contempt.
The first order was executed, but Coe:
avoided the ofilber by remaining out of, the
State, and so was not arrested. When the
case reached the Superior Court, One,
through his counsel, filed a petition to have
the case transferred to the United States
Circuit' Court, claiming the right under a
law of the United States, and his petition
was granted, the Superior Court holding
that the United States statute was impera-
tive in such a case if the right was demand-
ed,—Coc being a citizen of New York.
The transfer of the case practically de-
troyed the injunction and orders granted by»
Judge Minor. In the Circuit Court, a plea
was interposed to the jurisdiction of the
Court, setting up tbat‘Goosc Island was not
in the State and judicial district of Con-
necticut, but belonged to New York. As
such claims have been, from time to time,
set up in regard to.the various islands along
the Connecticut coast, the question was a
very important one to the State and to in-
dividuals, and not least to the proprietors of
the various oysters beds among the islands.
The case finally came on for trial in' the
Circuit Court at New Haven on Wednesday
last, Judges Woodrufi' and Shipman pre-
siding. After a full hearing on the question
of jurisdiction, on Friday morning Judge
Woodrufi‘ rendered the .decision 'of the
Court over-ruling the plea to the jurisdico
tion, and holding that the island belongs to
Connecticut, in a very able opinion which
occupied nearly two 'hours in the delivery.
We rc-publish from the ,New Haven Journal
and 6'er a brief but very accurate ab-
stract of it.
Fianna-The court opened at ten o’clock
when Judge Woodrufi' proceeded to ive the
decision of the court in the case of ohn .H.
Keyser vs. Enoch Coe. The Judge said the
bill filed is to restrain the continuance of a
certain nuisance erected upon an island
known as Goose Island, in Long Island
Sound, in the viciuit of the town of Nor-
walk. The plea which has been submitted
by thedefendantsfor trial raises the ques-
tion whether thesubject matter of the cause
of action is within the jurisdiction of this
court. The allegations of the bill say the
defendant is maintaining a nuisanc on the
island I have mentioned, of such a harac-
ter as to work prejudice .to the health and
comfort of the plaintiff and his family
and to impair the value of his property.
The counsel will recollect that it was sug-
gested by the court that the cqse might in-
volve the question, if ~we conceded that
Goose island, the place where the offensive
erection is built, is Within the limits of the
State of New York, as claimed' by the de-
fendant, and not in the limits of Connecti-
cut, whethef’the bill does not give jurisdic-
' tion by reason of the alleged injury pre ‘ng
upon the plaintiff and his property, w ich
are stated to be in this State within the town
of N orwalk.‘ Perhaps that question could
only be properly raised by setting downer
plea for argument and taking issue‘upon it.
However the counsel npou neitherside have
seen fit to discuss that question, and in view
of that fact the court give no opinion on the
subject. The question of fact, which is the
whole question discussed, is whether the
island is within the limits of the. judicial
district of Connecticut. I
I observe upon the eneral subject of, the
rules of evidence apB icable to prove a title
in the States of the uited_ States, once col-
onies of Great Britain, that they do not
. widely differ in respect toboundary lines of
States fi-om these which govern boundary
lines of lands belonging to individuals. ,
The first resort is O deeds, patents or char-
ters, which stand as muniments of title.
When' their importfis sufiiciently clear and
definite they are considered satisfactory and '
conclusive in the absence of any prior or
conflicting grant or deed. When there is a
doubt of the import of the language of the
instrument relied upon and the title is dis-
puted, then long continued possession and
the exercise of acts or ownership and 'uris-
diction become not only competent evi ence
but evidence of great weight in determining
the instrument. In this case We have tested
the question in both of these modes and
with preciwa the same result.
The question is whethc the instruments
submitted by themselves alone furnish sat-
isfactory answer, or whether it be so that
the import of the instruments is so far ob-
scure as to admit the other description of
evidence. The first instrument which is
material to.the evid ee is what has always
been called the arwick patent of 1631.
The lan uagc of the description is peculiar,
and needs careful attention to discoverzwhat
it means, and yet, upoua careful scrutiny,
it does not admit of reasonable doubt. Thus
it purports to convey that part of New
England which lies and extends itself west;
ward from a river there called Narragansett.
“ Observe, that it starts not from a point,
but a line." It plainly states the Narragan-
sett river. It extends from the river the
s ace of forty leagues westwardby a‘sweep'
a orig that river forty leagues upon said line.
It has been assume that said 4 line was in-
tended to define the sontherubbundary;
that said line went along the sea shore
toward Virginia. We are of the opinion
that is not the construction- of the words.
but that it meant -to define‘the distance
which this sweep of land should extend
along the coast. The distance from the
oint of beginning. It_tbcn extended from
arragonsett river, the distance of' which
is measured in said line'as one hundred and
twenty miles, and during that. distance as
the coast lieth, southwest or west by the
south,as'the coast lieth. The coast, but
not the coast line, isthe_.boundary.
the islands, lands, and: all within, this tract,
and the land 'uorth ,and south in. latitude
and in longitude audacstward to the South
Sea. The Court proceeded to show that the
description did not Garry the line down the
coast to Virginia, and thence west to the
South Sea, so called. It held the grant in-
cluded the islands a acent. The court said
the next piece of evi ence or documents re-
ferred to, to determine the' question was the
charter of Charles II., granted in 1662 to the
colon of Connecticut. The judge'read. the
part escribing the grant, and said, now it
is .quite manifest, in ayiug out the, history
of the claims ofConuecticut, that at one
time she construedlhifl language to mean to
give. them a goutheru boundary upon the
ocean. Audio that view the astigmatism

was plainly such that the definition emf-

the court said was appropriately referred
to was the charter to the Duke of York.
At this point, sail the court, the suggestion
made in re rd to documentary proof be-
comes pcrt ent. If'the charter grants ad-
joiniug‘islands then‘ there was a case at the
start, upon documentary evidence, in favor
of Connecticut. If we have a prior grant
and on adverse possession .theu the ,docu-
ments become conclusive and are‘sumcient
to relieve the matter from controversy.
The examination of the_graut to the duke

went on to say that such beingtbe situation

charters rigidly, and b so doing, the word
“sea" in Connecticut c arter,wln'ch gave the
sea as the boundary on the south. must mean
the Long Island Sound, and in construing
the Duke onork charter, the islands apper-
taining must not be held to mean those-along
the Connecticut coast. The Court referred
to the fact that the claim of Connecticut
finally led to negotiations, and that these ne-
gotiations were to determine the construc-
tiou of the terms of the two charters. The
negotiations resulted. i an agreement to
alter the boundary. . e result was that
they declared that the southern boundary of
Connecticut was the sea, Connecticut .still
adhering tenacious] Ito the terms of. the
charter. ' N everthe ess, “ for the sake of ’
guano, she conceded that Lon Island should
under. lhcjurfcdich‘on of the uke of York."
The Judge read from the terms of the agree-
ment, givingathe Duke of York the govern-
ing of the is ad, yet maintaining and declar-
ing that the southern boundary of the colo-
ny. of Connecticut was the sea. ‘
The next evidence relied on to sustain the
claim that the island in uestiouwas under
the urisdiction of New ork was . the pro-
ce use of the council of 1701. , ‘
An agreemett was~then made, andafter-
wards confirmed by the king andthc privy
council. The court read from the records
the agreement arrived at in regard to the
west bounds of Connecticut, which stated
that the boun s between the territory of his
highuess, the Duke of York, and of the col-
ony of Connecticut should begins“ 'a brook
or river called Byram’s river between Rye
' and Greenwich, where it emptied into t e
sea at Lyon’s Point. The court held that by
a proper couwuction 'of the terms of the
a reement establishing this west line that it
did not cut ofi'rthe right of Connecticut to
go beyond Lyon’s Point toward the Sound,
and It therefore did not operate to shut her
out‘fi‘om the: Sound. The court reviewed
other points in the documentary proofs. ‘and
recapitulated the points presented, adding
that not only did these show conclusively
that the jurisdiction of the island in question
belonging to Connecticut but that also the
long and undisputed occupation of these
islands by this State, for more than one
hundred years, showed the same thing; that
pursuing both of these methods of investiga-
tion the same resultwas reached. The court
therefore found that it had full jurisdictio
in the case. ' '
After the delivery of the above opinion,
tion and a hearing was had on the merits, a
large number of witnesses being present.
Some eight or ten were examined and the
respondent making no substantial defence,
a final decree was papacd,‘ in accordance
with the prayer of the petition.

stuffed birds and other articles crowded into
ten more wagons. The Cardifl giant; or an
