- - RAILROADs.
By the report of the Railroad Commis-
sioners it will be seen that there have been
opened during the last year one hundred and
fifty-seven miles of road. making now in
operation eight hundred and eighty-one
miles of road, one hundred and twenty of
which is with double track, with a paid up
capital of thirty-one millions, and a funded
and floating debt of nineteen millions. _
These roads earned ten and one-half mll~
lions of dollars, and "carried nine and one:
half millions of passengers, not one _01
whom was killed, and but three were in-
jured. _ _
A general railroad law is.now in crust--
euce. . .
Roads can be built anywhere now and
by anybody who. can pay for them, tllus
relieving the sessions of the General Assem-
bly of much discussion over new charters,
and of the corrupting influences whichit is
said, have sometimes existed. -
The Air Line railroad will apply to you
for relief from its overdue taxes, which
amount to $20000. It has never yet paid
anything into the State Treasiry.
Three years ago it came before the Gen-
eral Assembly with a request that four
roads—the Connecticut Valley, the Con-
necticut Western, the Shepaug, and itself
-.—might assume the taxes on town bonds,
issued in aid of the roads, and pay into the
State Treasury one per cent in ieu of all
other taxation on the bonds.
This request was granted, and under the
'bellion, general appropriation bills.

EDITORIAL LETTER .
WASHINGTON, MAY 4,1 872.
The Republican Senators met Monday morning
to hear the report of their committee of seven ap-
pointed last week to arrange a programme of busi.
ness, and after hcarng the report adopted it almosl
unanimously. It provided for taking up tbe‘bueinesl
in the following order: Deficiency appropriation
bill, House bill to repeal duty on ten and coffee,
post-Ofilce appropriation bill, navy appropriation
bill. amnesty bill, Morton’s bill relative to inspectors
of election, Scott’s bill giving President power to
suspend writ of habeas corpus in states lately in re-
it was sist-
agreed to meet at 11 o’clock daily hereafter, instead
of at 12. Mr. Sumner participated in the caucus and
opposed an early adjournment. Mr. Trumbull was
not present. - ,
The ten and coffee clause of the tarifi bill was
passed, and the House concurring, the President has
signed it, and from and afte; July next we are to
have cheap tea and coffee-perhaps. The motion to
meet at 11 instead of 12 was lost on a vote in.open
Senate, owing to the time being required for com-
mittee work.
Quite a flurry was kicked up in political circles by
the semi-official statement that we are on the eve oi
a rupture with Spain.
Old polificiaul do not disguise their disgust that
Gen . Grant’s cabinet ministers should have compro-
mised him so unnecessarily, at this Junctnre. by a
:raw-fish back-out on the Alabama question, at I
little roaring of the British lion, and so smartly
smacked at war with feeble and Catholic Spain over
wrongs in Cuba the Home Government is unable to
control. The temper of these men 18 not molified by
a pettifoeging article which came out in Thursday's
Republican. designed tobreak the force of the "back-
ont," especially since the secret has leaked out that
it was prepared at the State Department.
A general feeling of rejoicing pervades Washington
at the prospect of another route to New York, inde
pendent of the Baltimore 5 Ohio monopoly.
rm. ens. WM. I. ounx.
The House Committee on Eletions met‘Thurrday
uerning to consider the contested case of Giddipgr
lgalnst Clark, of Texas. The latter put his briefs
present law the roads are required to _ pay
one per cent on theirdlonded and floating
debt and also on all bonds issued by towns
in their aid, the owners of which hold them
free from taxation. _
The Air Line is the first to ask rellef 01
this kind. It has been an unfortunate con-
cern from the start and the Treasurer has
been lenient with it.
You are to judge of the expediency of es-
tablishing such a precedent.
TOWN AND crrv INDEBTEDNESS.
While the indebtedness of the state is be-
ing constantly reduced, to the great _sa_trsfac-
tion of our people, who are quite wrlllng to
. be taxed for such a purpose, the debt or
many of our towns and cities is being as
constantly increased. It amounted to $9,-
813,000 in 1870, in the aggregate. and must
have increased two orthree millions since.
An active minority in any city or town can
contract a public debt which the real tax
payers and ‘more conservative portion of the
community are powerless to prevent, all
evil, which unless checkfl, will lead to
consequences most disastrous. I commend
this subject to your car-ful consideration.
The grand list of taxable property. Octo-
-‘ber lst, 1871, in t tale, was $339,782,733.
being an increase er the previous year of
$11,346,132.
The grandlist is made up very unevenly.
Some towns assess property very much
higher in pro ortiou to its actual value
than others; w ich should be remedied in
some way. I would suggest that boards of
equalization, consisting of three members.
he created in each county, and the chair-
men of the county boards should constitntl
a state board, with the Treasurer as its
‘ chairman, the decision of the state board to
be final.
The poll tax of one dollar appears to me
too small and laid upon a wrong principle.
The poll should be rated in the list at a
certain value, on which taxes should be
laid as upon property, in which case the
state, the town, the school, and all other
interests, wohld get their just proportion.
The commutation tax has been collected
more accurately during the last year than
at any previous time. Both these taxes
, are just and reasonable, and should be con
tinucd and invariably collected, as all who
vote should pay apoll tax, and those who
owe military service but do not perform it,
should assist in paying those who do.
The principal results of the census of
1871 have now been published, but there
are a great many details in respect to tilt
condition of each state and town which thr-
general government cannot undertake to
publish. These particulars, so far as they.
concern the state of Connecticut, will be or
great service to allwho are concerned with
the legislation, the social Progress, and the
business ndertakings. would recom-
mend that mcasures be taken by the legis—
lature to obatiu and publish a full report Of
the census of Connecticut. ' '
FISHERIES. _
The matter of pound fishing has given.
during the past year. no little trouble and
annoyance, but it has finally been settled,
let us hope, to the satisfaction of all con-
_ cerncd.
,It makes no difference to the state at
‘ _large, it appears to me, where shad are
caught or by whom and when,a-lways pro-
vided that all that are taken shall enter
into the supply of food for the human race,
and that the catch shallvnot be so large or.
rapid or complete as to exhaust or reduce
the supply or hinder or prevent their. prop-
agation. If foul- days fishing and three
days close time for the pounds is made the
rule, Which is the case at present, laws
should be enacted which would enforce
it. -
: NEW CAPITOL.
The last General Assembly appropriated
$500,000 towards -the erection of" a State
House at Hartford, under certain conditions,
and appointed a commission to carry the
resolutions into effect. The conditions
have been complicd with, the city Of Hart
ford having purchased a splendid site of
fourteen acres at an expense of $600,000.
and appropriated $500,000 towards the
erection of a building.
All architect has been designated, a de-
sign accepted and working plans are now
being gotten up preparatory to contracting
for the building. It is the opinion of the
Commissioners that a convenient building
Of ample dimensions and which-shall be an
ornament to the State, ct'ln be erected for
the amount appropriatedhaniit is their
determination that the state all not be
further called upon except for furnishing-
the building and ornamenting the grounds.
Publicattention has of late been directed
by some notable cases in Pennsylvania.
Maryland and Kansas, to the propriety oi
allowing medical expert testimny as to
sanity in our criminal courts. All such
testimony is tinged by partisan.feelings, as
each witness is expected to not not only as
‘ an expert but as associate counsel.
It is thought by many that the practice
which prevails to some extent in Great
Britain of having the question of sanity
decided by a jury of experts first and that
,of guilt by an ordinary jury, might be in-
troduced to advantage into our system.
-There are several matters to which I have.
. called the attention of former Legislatures,
and as to the propriety of which my ofiiciai
experience has confirmed the opinion I then
expressed. ,
Our legal limit of the rate of interest is
too low; our divorce laws are too loose;
our laws with regard to the property rights
'Of married women need revision; our state
officers should be elected in .the fall for two
‘ years, and an attorney general should either
be elected by the people or appointed by
‘ the Governor.
A custom has heretofore prevailed in the
General Assembly of electing from their
own number most of the persons to fill the
vacancies occurring in the several boards of
trustees, directors and commissioners. May
-I not be pardoned for expressing the
opinion that this custom opens the door to
too much of personal application and
bargaining for Office, while it narrows down
the list from which to select and is open to
many other objections. If after this year
the appointments should be made by the
Exechtive, to be confirmed by the Senate, I
_"think the result might be beneficial.
The appropriations asked for this year
will be fully as large as our treasury will
warrant. et them be closely scrutinized.
While our state cannot afford, and does
' not need. to be niggardlyin its benevolence,
rsOund judgment should be exercised in
' voting money out of the public treasury.
Our people look with no little alarm upon
the tendency towards extravagance in our
public affairs. Let us make no appropria-
tions except where absolutely needed, and
grant no gratuities whatsoever. The state
is abundantly able to make all necesasary
eXPenditures, but in givinfir away money
',and- voting donatiOns, file lawrmaking
power should represent the
payer in the state.
But‘little legislation is really needed and
poorest tax-
- that Ofugencral character. Special enact-
ments are apt to be detrimental to general
interests. The people WOuld be glad to see
a short, economical session of about ‘eix
'- , weeks, More frequent meetings of Commit.
-tees and shorter recesses than heretofore
. ;.'-would gratify this desire. Why can it not
be done? , _ ;

PROTECTION.
The leading speech of the session was made in the
House Thursday, by J u'lge Kelley, of Pennsylvania,-
ln our~ present and future systems of Internal Reve-
nue and Tarifi. It was a. clear and masterly vindica-
tion of protection to American labor. He showed
that while the Democrats are ciamorons for free
Irude with Europe they are quite indifi‘erent about
free trade between citizens of the United States. At
'me time there were not less than five Democrats up-
on the floor all together attempting to reply. The
Chronicle says: Mr. Kelley desires to. exterminate,
root and branch, the abuses that have crept into our
present system of taxation during the were! the re-
bellion. - His speech yesterday bristled all over with
strong points. On Thursday Mr. Kellogg, from the
New Haven district, followed in an able and exhaus-
Eive argument on the. same subject, with decided
effect upon the House. '
, The pending bills from the Postal Committee rcc-
Armrneuding increased subsidies to various steam-
ship lines, renders the following ofilciai statistics
especially interestingt '
In 1871 the imports from China and
Japan were.... ........ $24,454,891.00
Domestic exports to China & Japan 4,207,891.00
. Excess of imports ......... ' . . . ........ $19,546,415.00
With a weekly line ofstoamers from San Francis-
co tw China and Japan, we would in afew years con-
trol the carrying trade of those countries, and the
wealth or these lands would be poured in with pro-
fusion into our hands. _ _
Japan had a population in 1864, according to an
ofilcial report, 01135300000, and China a population
.rfa fraction over 400,000.000. The trade and com-
merce of China and Japan, has n“. the past. as at
present, enriched Portugal, Holland and ,England,
and we have only to pay a million of dollars a year
for an increase of mail service by steamships, and
the teas, and silks, and the spices of the East will
be brought in American Bottoms, and we shall be
independent. of foreign nations on the waters. Last
year we paid to vessels of foreign powers $2,000,000
for carrying our imports and wports, and unless the
"ecommcndatious of the President, Secretary of the
Treasury, and Postmaster-General are carried out,
we shall soon pay 870,000.000 and be .wholly depen-
vourselves. ,
English statesmen and legislators seem to under-
stand the interest of English commerce as the fol;
lowing important fact shows: The appropriation
.lnadeby Parliament for steamship mail packet ser-
vice. Aug. 6, 1870,. for one year, was £450,000, or
$2,260,000. From this expenditure England reaps
every year vcrv large dividends. It will be money
well expended to pay to the Pacificmail steamship
line 81,000 000 for mail service from San Francisco
to China and Japan, and ins few years to pay for a
tent line of commerce. Is titer uy reason why
San Francisco should not be the great tea marnet of
the world 7 or why bills should not be drawn in
China and Japan on New York instead of on Lon.

1871. the exports of cotton goods from England to
Rio, Brazil were inv sine $10,045,000, while our ex-
porls were only a few thousand dollars. We ought
to supply Brazil with flour, pork, lard, cheese,
cotton goods, mzchinery, hardware, ac" and in
return take coffee and hides, and do all the trade in
our own steamships, and: thus increase our exports
a hundred fold. ‘

The Election Parade at New Haven, last
Wednesday, was a brilliant affair—probably
the best celebration of the kind ever held
in the State. The day was favorable, the
arrangements had all been carefully made,
and everything was auspicious. Crowds of

with the people of New Haven in the grand

the troops commenced forming on the Green,

tion of the line, instead of following the
time-honored custom of entrusting that duty
to his aids, and then appearing in all possi-.
ble dignity to assume all the glory. In this
work he of course received the active assist-
ance of his staff. When formed, the line
" made a fine appearance, the soldiers all be-

in gray and two in blue, with the Horse and

independent organizations in varied colors.

The Anniversary Of the Young Men's
'Chrislian‘Association will be held next- Sab-
bath Evening at the 2d M. E. Church, at-
7% o’clock. ‘ Annual report and .brief ad-
dresses by Members of the Association and
others may beexpecte‘d. A collection will
be taken for the benefit of the Association,
ant= it is hoped that all interested in this
work will come to this meeting prepared to
give liberally. The Association is now de-
prived of the revenue ,derived from the
Monthly UniOn Servicesformerly held, and
its members hope that the amount raised at
its Anniversary will be suflicent to meet its
current expenses for the year.
Mr. A. P. Burrus, of Janesville, Wiscon-
sin, laughs to. scorn all this talk about
gauge railroads, and wants room for his
broad gauge road and “amphibious locomo-
tive"—“the greatest invention of the age."
30 feet bread, from the Atlantic to Lake
Erie. The road is to be built out into the
lake, about 25 feet- below the surface, for
some distance. When the .machine .comes
to the jumpingvofi‘ place, a new set of wheels
is put into requisition, and the locomotive
becomes a steamboat. A similar contri-
vance allows it to come up on dry land at
Detroit, and thence it travels, on another
broad gauge road, to Lake Michigan. It is
to be suficicutly large to carry a vessel of
500 tons, so that all necessity for ship-canals
will be done away with. The rate of speed
is to be 125 miles per hour on land, and 25
inventor, “we shall surpass the eagle in its
fleelne'ss” which'is all'very well in its way,
but it cannot compete with the more start-
ling invention of our fellow townsman,
Chas. F. Raymond Esq, who has devised a
combined Steam Horse Railroad car for the
land, and Propeller for the water, and
which adopts itself to either element, ac:
cording 'to requirement, with equal facility.
But even these wonderful creations do not
meet the demands of this inexorable centu-.
ry. Nothing short of a "flying machine"
which shall transport us safely through the
air, at a rate of speed which shall prove the
“eagle” a fogy, as to fieetness, will ever do. ,
In a note received from T. H. Morison,
Esq., we learn that he is. enjoying tip-top
good health, and expects lobe home here in

Kane Bunions—At the close .of the
year 1871, Kansas had 1,771 miles of com-
pleted Railroads, or more than either of the
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, West
Virginia, North and South Carolina, Flor-
ida, Alabama, Mississi pi,Louisia-na, Texas,
Arkansas, Tennessee, entucky, Minnesota,
Nebraska, California or Nevada. Thus,
although one of the youngest of the States,
Kansas has more miles of completed rail-
roads than twenty-five of her sister States.
382 miles of railroads in operation in the
United States. Of these 6,988 miles, were»
' built during the year 1871.
No young State ever had such facilities
for trade and' travel as has Kansas, by
means of her extended Railroad system.

LETTERS FROM
EDI-rou- (Shun:—
The importance of lighting our streets and the
time of lighting has-Very“ properly been the subject
of action by the committee of Burgessel on Lamps.
Hitherto our principal thoroughfare, West Avenue,
has been lighted the lust, and frequently so late as to
cause much, annoyance, especially now that this
street has put on city nir- Ind has been adorned with
115E ‘PEOPLE.
curb storm, gutters. old, which require light that '
these do not become a source of danger to the limbs
of pedestrians. Itls also important that the lamps
should not be shut ofi' before eleven or twelve
o’clock, as many citizens are necessarily abroad till
midnight. . . . '
During theput week some of the lumps on West
Avenue were put out as early as ten o’clock, having
been lighted buttsbout three hours: and last season
the lighting was ircqnently not finished until after
nine o'clock. - O
The lighting and shutting off the lsmps,—-the time
of doing it, and their:proper condition for giving
light are matters of such importance that the Bur-
gesscs have doncavell in giving the subject prompt
attention. '
Enrrou Gain-rig— .
It is cvideut'tbat many of the streets of the Bor-
ough have not been named with reference to their
relative importance. Especially is this statement
ane of our principal thoroughfare, at present calico
WutAoerim to the city line, and from thence to and
through the city center, Main Street. The name West
Avenue does not convey an intelligent idea of the
relative bearing, location and importance of this
street to the whole of Norwalk. It; is suggested
that a much more proper and significant name could
be adopted, and which would, so far as names can,
supply that indicatidn. The name of the great
thoroughfare of New York conveys to all minds 'the
[location and importauccof Broadway to that city.
As important to Norwalk is the street called West
Avenue, and the name should be changed to Broad-
way, and the city of South Norwalk should adopt the ‘
name in continuation.

Are the SeleCtmenaware that the ofiice of keyword
is pradically vacant and that they should immediate-
ly appoint an efficient officer to see that the law
against cows, calves and geese being turned upon
our streetst.» feed, be promptly enforced.
The law is sought to be evaded by sending a little
child to follow'tlrese outlaws day after day through
the streets, at the fist sign of vegetation, much to
the annoyance of the people. By all means let the
law against cattle running at large and being pas-
tured in the streets be rigidly enforced.
