Gen. Warren has just sent in to the Sec-
‘ rotary of War his report covering the details
and drawings of ' his engineers, who, last
summer, were engaged upon our harbor sur-
vey. A copy is now being made for Senator
Ferry, who upon it, will endeavor to have
the sum recommended put in the appropria-
tion bill, and will "go before the committee
in advocacy of the measure. Gen. Warren
recommends such“anexcavatibn of the chan-
nel, as'will give an average depth at mean.
low water, of six feet from the mouth of the
harbor to the stone bridge, a distance » of
about three miles" To do this, he reports,
will require but the removalof 153,879 cubic
yards of deposit, whichE should be d0ue,he
.- estimates, at 20 cents per yard, costing a
total of less than $80,800. :He earnestly
recommends that this entire sum be appro-
priated at tho’ outset,‘as' being the most
economical and expedicious means of exe-
cuting the improvement. A vast amount
of statistics is supplied, showing the impor-
tance 'of our harbor to the commerce of the
state and to Long Island Sound. The im—
provements are found to cost so much less
than was anticipated, that little doubt need
be felt as to SenatorFeri'y’s ability to secure
N 0 similar
public work on our New England coast has
received a more earnest and hearty endorse- '
ment, and We hope' and believe that ere an-
other season goes by, on harbor will be
relieved from the obslructicns which have.
so greatly enhanced the cost of our coal and
heavy merchandise, and thus far tended to
retard our growth.

Very-little legislation of consequence has

theSeuate Committee, quite important to
our Connecticut manufacturers. One is that

Representative Kellogg, of our State, has
been reinforced. James Brooks has returned
from his tour around the world, and gives a
majority in the committee «Stone in favor of
the Income Tax Repeal. Then comes Miron
Winslow, Secretary of the Anti-Income Tax
- Association, and he gives the.committee an
able and exhaustive argument against,i_t_s_
repeal, and also against any collection of
the tax due for 1871. It is well known that
the President favors a repeal of this odious
measure, and the impression gains that this
Congress will somehow exterminate the
nuisance. ‘ ‘

amendments that all citizens, without dis
tinctlon of color or sex, and, when a woman
without reference to marriage, are entitled
.to practice any-trade,profession or pursuit
which they may, choose as an evocation,
brought suit against the State of Illinois for
refusing to admit her to the bar. The ap-
plication was refused on the ground that as
she was a married woman‘she would not be
liable on contracts with her clients, and the
case is now before the SupremeCourt on an
appeal. Senator Carpenter, her counsel,
made ' an able and elaborate argument,
‘ claiming that this was aqueslion distinct '
and separate from that of Suffrage. That
carry the right to vote, but they did cover
business open to males. The case has ex-
cited much speculation and interest.

A hard rain storm set in last Friday even-

Hon. P. C. Wright, of New York ‘city’
President of the Rye and Westchester Rail»
road Company. gave a complete éxposxtlon
of the plans and prospects of the proposed
road, and clearly demonstrated its feasibili-
ty. The distance from Baby to the State
line, according to the surveys now made, is.
f0l ty-four miles ; and by the actual measure-
ment of the proposed road, with its connec-
tions at the Derby'end and the tel-mlnus at
the Byram River, itwill extend a distance
of sixty-six and a half miles, being an actual -
saving of distance of' about six miles be-
tween New York and New Haven. .
Responsible parties are interested in this
matter, and it is confidently expected that
the work Will be begun and completed at
an early day.
Several other meetings were held last
week, and much interest is manifested in
the proposed enterprise. 1 An adjourned
meeting is to be held in this place on Thurs-
day next, 25th inst, at which reports will be

.An amusing state of affairs has recently
been developed on the express trains out of
New York. For a long time the Railroad
Company has been annoyed by persons
stealing rides on the trains, getting on at
Twenty-seventh street, and jumping Off at
HarlcmBridgc. In order to put a stop to
this nnremuncmtive traffic, the doors of
the cars have been locked and kept locked
until the train passed from the Harlem to
the New Haven track, thus cagiug the of-

the next stopping place, Stamfdrd, and
are obliged to pay their way bncl{.again.=

“THE mandamus. ROAD.” ‘
HOW TO BUILD AND EQUIP IT WITHOUT BOB-
ROWI'NG A DOLLAR.
I suppose it is generally admitted by the
public that the present and prospcctive bus;
iucss of the towns through which it is pro-
posed to build the Parallel road justify its
immediate construction, and that it is gen-
orally agreed that its-completion would be
quickly followed by a rapid increase of pop-
ulation and of business, and would largely
enhance the value of property along its
r‘outc'and increase the general prosperity of
the t0wns>it traversed. ‘ In short, it is an
evident fact that the road should bcbuilt,
and it seems probable that it, is to be built
during the current year, as considerable
st'ock'is already subscribed and the books
are soon to be regularly opened.
The question of how the necessary funds
forbuilding the road can he most readily
raised, and what course is best for the inter-
ests of the road and the community, he-
comes, therefore, not only an imp'mtant but
a pressing one. ‘ ” ' ' ‘
It is well known that while in most enter-
prises there is a. reasonable prospect of re-
cciving dividends in a year or eighteen
months, yet in railroad enterprises none can
be reasonan ,> expected in two to four years
from their completion, and this deters many
from subscribing to railroad stock. If we
could be reasonably certain of dividends
the first year the road began to operate, this
objection; would vanish. , 4
Suppose 'then, you give to every stock-
holder a semi-annual dim'dend of 5 percent.
from the completion of the propoaed road ;
suppose you give it to him in passage tickets
over the roach—what will be the result?
Suppose there is "incorporated in the sub-
scription an agreement that up to such time
as the road shall earn and make cash divi-
dends, each subscriber to the stock shall
have, semi-annually, free tickets,"or an or-
der for tickets, to the amount of 5 per cent.
on hisvsubscribedstock? I believe the stock '
would be quickly taken.‘ I beliévc money
enough would be raised to build and equip
the road. I think the unexamplcd specta-
cle would be given of a great road built and
stocked without ’any gifts from Congress,
without aid from any State, city, or other
municipal corporation, and without borrow-
ing adollar. I think that nearly every man
who owned a cottage, nay, many a man.
who does not own a house but who is thrif-
ty enough to lay up something, and who oc-
casionaly wants to travel by rail, or let his
family travel, would take at least $100, very
many $500 to $1000 of the stock; while
the capitalist, the man of large means, would '
readily double the subscriptions he would‘
make on the old plan; and this because he
knows the road is to be builtwithout bor-
rowing a dollar ; and because that, when
built, the road instead of having’ for friends
and persons interested in its welfare thirty
to fifty capitalists who would on the old plan
.co‘nstitute its stockholders, it would count
its stockholders by thousands. In every
work shop and mel‘cantilestore in our vil-
lages and cities, in every manufacturing cs-
tablisbment in our towns, and in every
house colour hill-side's and cottage in our
hamlets, it would'hav'c one or more stock-
hdlders.‘ " The business of these stockholders
'and their-q'influence, their . friendship and
their interests would make them patrons
and advocates of the read. '
What ‘then would be the objection to this
scheme? It may be said that these tickets
represent a debt. And this is .true. They
would be a debt of some $400,000, perhaps
half n.milli_on. But was there ever a debt
which could be so easily paid? Was there
ever a sinking fund so wisely contrived?
I need not enlarge on this point. _ It is evi-
dent. the, debt would be paid without feeling
.it, substantially. This is applying the mod-
of the Home.
Now that our good friend, St. Issue, is
so much interested in figures perhaps he
will téll his readers how much “ retainer”
he has received from the great Railrondmo-
nopoly, and how much he receives for such
items as the following, which we copy from
the editorial page of the Hartford Post}—
“ We have it from good authority that the
Fail'ficld county lobby, which has be‘cn so
zealous in the parallel railroad and other
matters before the leg.-:.llure, will be pres-
ent at the next session wlti: another petition
for aspecial charter for the road, notwith-
standing the general railrond law gives them
all the rights and privileges necessary for
the construction of the line.”

During the current year a full and entire
revision of all treaties between Japan and
'variolTs foreign powers will take place. In
advance of such a duty the representatives
of Great Britain, France. Germany, and the
United States are investigating treaty-stip-
ulations and acquiring the information
necessary to forms satisfactory. and en-
during ugrce’ment between their respective
governments and Japan. The main point
aimed at is to open the WI ole country for
purposes of residence and trade to foreign-
ers. The treaty made by Commodore
Perry, in 1854, is the foundation of all the
treaties at present in force, By this agree,
ment, was permitted. Since that time
liberal views and ideas have made wonder
ful progress in Japan, and the rulers of. that
country are discussing the prospective
treaties in an intelligent and candid way:
and a. new mission, to be composed of some
of the nlost influential ‘Japanesc bfiicers is
talked of as about to be sent to America and
Euiopc. From present appearances, before
the close of 1872, Japan will be 'open to
trade and commerce,” a just, , liberal, and
enlightened basis.—P7tdadeh5ht’a Age.

A financial revolution has commenced in
France,similnr to that which the United
States passed through after the cOmulence-
ment Ofltlle War. Metallic money is at a
premium théi‘c,‘ and small change has disap-=
peared. This is the necessary result of the
great expenditures ofa’gr'eat war, and has
not been, and could not have been prevented,
even by such a power as tbc'Bank of France.
The bank’advanecd twelve hundred mil-
lions of francs for war expenditures. This
debt and a Pdris loan of over two hundred
millions required a large increase in the
issue of paper moncyfinnd the bank has
now thnty-tllrce hundred millions offrancs
out—only one hundred millions less than
its legal limit. Thc‘prcmium on coin and
the boarding thereof follow naturally, and
now one of the most difficult financial

A bill has been introduced in the Missouri
legislature to facilitate the ecustrueliOn of
railroads in that State. The principal feature
of the provision is to issue to‘all new broad
gauge railroads $10,000 per mile in State-
bonds, and $5,000 per mile to narrow gauge
roads. All the roads receiving this aid are
to pay into the State treasury two per 'cen't.‘
annually of their gross earnings, to be appli-
creatc a sinking fund to pay oil the bonds.
After the interest and bonds are paid, this
two per cent. is to go into the State treasury
and be a perpetual sourceof revenue. The
author of the bill intimates that under this
law the State will have in ten years, two
thousand additional miles of railroad, and
that the intct'est on the bonds will all be
paid off. The roads are to be under the full
control of the legislature, .

roads should be built. I look to see the
time, and soon, when all railroads in our
thickly settled regions will be thus built.
There is a certain matter which it is wise,
and probably necessary to settlc,before-sub-
.scriptions commence in earnest. Certain cit-
izcns have\f6r some years been devoting
much time, labor~aud money, to procuring a.
charter for a Parallel Road. They failed t'o
get the charter, but their persistent efforts to
get'onc are what madc‘ it possible to get a
General Railroad Law at this time. With-
out their previous efi'orts we should still be
without a General Railroad Law, and should
continue-to be without one till a year or mm
or more of agitations' had brought the pub:
lic opinion to the point when a Legislature
would, no't refuse to pass such a law. It
therefore seems proper that these men should
be reimbursed what they actually expended
.in procuringthei passage of our present rail-
road law, and what they paid for the sur-
veys, plans and profiles, and} estimateseof
the route. This shot might .be between
$4,000 and $5,000. As to the rest of their
expenditures and their claims for compensa-
tion and risk, would it not be fair to make
it aprcliminary condition, that these‘be re-
fered to. some disinterested man to say what,
underuthecircumstancos, would be fair,——to
leave it, for instance, to Judge Butler, or ex-
Gov. W. T. Minor, 01' some other equally
By taking this course I have no doubt ev-
ery one will be satisfied, and by giving div-
idends of tickets, as suggested, I have no
doubt nearly every one will take stock, and
the road be quickly built and be a success.

confidence and respect of the whole news-

has done so much to excite ill-fuelilig be-
tween the cities” of Hartford and New

also after the Post, and denounces ill strong
language its “eternal infamy” and its “low

On Monday night last the jewelry store of
Messrs. Quintard Brothers, in Poughkeepsic,
N. Y., was destroyed by fire. The firemen

the sheet corner was frozen up and there
was some delay in getting water. The
flames spread so rapidly that no portion ‘of
the stock could be removed, and the inmates
had barely time to escape with their lives.
Mr. John Greenway, in the employ of the
firm for many years, had great difficulty in
getting out, and was finally'forccd to the
attic, (the second story windows being
securely fastened by iron bars) from which
he jumped to a rear roof, and finally escaped,
but not until quite badly burned. The
