The pre‘w'V‘ailing financial stagnation, of
course, operates as a discouraging element,
nevertheless this is measurably compensated
for in the reduction of labor and materials.
It is in the hands of wide-swede and saga-
cious business men. who are thoroughly in
earnest in what they propose to do. The
question of a narrow gage has latterly been
quite earnestly canvamd and the idea so
far entertained by the directors as to make
it the subject of thorough examination. But
of one thing only, are the parties in interest
settled and determined. That is that 11 rail-
road to New York shall be built, at the
earliest practicable moment. The wanton,
unjust and dishonorable fight made by the
New Haven Road in defetaing the House-
tonic bridge application, has only had the
effect of stimulating all concerned to even
more determined efforts towards the con-
struction of the new and competting line.
The Penile! is one of the surest things of
the future, as its interested enemies will find
to their chagrin and sorrow. The public
may depend on that.

Dr. Samuel Lyrics, wife and three _chil~

Esq. and wife, sail on Saturday of the pres-
ent week, in the National Line Steamer
Spain. They go mainly for the sea voyage
and in quest of health, and will make but a
short run of the old world, returning in
October. Thirty-three years ago Mr. Bishop
visited England and Germany in the interest
of his" felt cloth inVentions and remained
abroad several years. At that time he bare
letters of introduction and commendation
from Henry Clsyflsniel Webster and other
leading public men. He will find that great
improvements and changes have occurred
abroad as well as in our own country dur-
ing this third of a century intervening his
visits. .

Death and taxes are inevitable and inexo
orshle. A want of accurate information
concerning the exact requirements of the
tax law, has' canseda good deal of irrita-
tion and scolding on the part of those who,
not having paid their Borough taxes on 'or
before the firstVin'st., areassesscd the one
per coat. penalty. _An impression is quite
general that this one per cent addition is
optionable with the collector. That he
may, leave it of is he chose—That if he
collects it, then- it goes into his own pocket
as a personal perquisite. his only neces-
sary to read the law to see that the Collector
is conflict- to add it, and when he collects.
to paythis penalty with the tax into the

{arty-three of the puifim 133331351 32%;?
be, and the same are hercb made applica-
ble to all taxes laid by any bPorouyh.
See. 2. This act shall take efi'ect from its
passage.
From the above it re evfient the collector
of town or borough taxes is not at fault
for the addition of the one per cent. penalty.
The law 13 imperative. But it is fairly ca-
pable of a construction which would leave
the penalty to be assessed only upon such
as failed to pay dun'aytlu's month. “One
month or'mOr'e'2 is' clearly specified in sec-
tion first, and beginning 'of section, and
“for each month said tax shall so remain
unpai ,” Sc, further on. So that it would
be not onlya literal interpretation of the
act, but fair to tax-payers to abate for aVneg-
lect of payment during the first month.
This, we are told, is the way the aet' 1s ren-
deredin other localities in the state. But
the ruling on the law on this point does not
rest with‘lhe collector. He can only ele-
cute all legal requ1remenss1n his official
capac1fy, and so should be held blameless
when adding the one per cent.
It is unfortunate'that our town and bor-
ough taxes should be levied ac nearly to-
gether. That may and ought to be changed
another year, by the Borough postponing
its assessment a 'x months beyond the town
tax. In ordinary times, our present system
wOuld not cause serious inconvenience to
tax-payers, but in the stagnation of busi-
ness at present existing, it is a serious per-,
plexity, if not hardship to many.
At all events, there is a reasonable
doubt, which, it appears, is given to the lag-
gard tax-payers in other places, and we
would suggest to the Court of Burgesses
that they release from this vcxatious pen-
alty all who close up their tax accounts be-
fore the first day of September. The tax-
payers have it hard enough with all the in-
dulgence that can reasonably be shown.
Collector Camp has been more successful
in realizing than any one who has ever at-
tempted a collection of the Borough assess-
ments. He had collected 820,470, up to the
1st inst., out of a total of $27,000.

DON’T BELIEVE A,wo_nn or r'r.-—It is re-
Crulse of the Neptune Club.
Dean Gmr'rn :—I am sorry that my let-
ter from the Vineyard did not reach you in
time for Monday’s paper; will now do my
best to condense into a short note the many
events of the four remaining days of the
cruise. On Sunday morning our Chaplain
preached a first-rate sermon in the pretty
little chapel, “V Sam” Spinning, of Bridge-
port, who met us at the “ Blufi's,” leading
the singing, and our organist presiding at
the organ. The boys seemed to think we
could take charge of anything. and “run”
it satisfactorily,—and certainly it seems so,
when one reflects on the many trades and
professions represented in the Neptune-
Club. On Monday we scattered, as usual,
preparing to say good-bye—but we desired
to leave pleasant memories behind us, so 11
concert was hastily organized for the even-
ing,under_ the direction of Mr. Spinning.
We had fallen in with u quintettc of gentle-
men from Amherst, who, though they don’t
beioug'to the Club, ought to, and doubtless
will. They assisted us materially with the
singing, and the concert was given in the
large parlor of the Sea View House. Dr.
Allen and Mr. Gibson contributed piano
solos. After this, almost the whole party
repaired to the cottage of Mr. Spinning, on
Clinton Avenue, where, it was estimated,
three thousand people were gathered. The
cottages were illuminated with Chinese lan-
terns, nnd. the Neptunes were the guests of
the evening. Some of the vocal music was
repeated. and some more added. Mr. Spin-
ning was elected, by acclamation, an honor-
ary member ,of the Club, and after some
speeches, in which the prevailing sentiment
was good feeling towards the “ Neps, ” good-
bye was said, and the company dispersed—
most Of the “Neps” 1.1.1 good-bye to say
over again, and at greater length, so they
did not go right on board the Forsyth.
Judging, from the experience of former
years, that the only time it is possible to
get the Club together' is when the members
are all asleep, or ought to be, three o’clock,
a. m., on Tuesday, was appointed as the
hour for leaving, and at about half-past
three the roll was quietly called, every man
' found to be on board, and we left the scene
of so many happy hours.
Sple weather—11 fincbrecze from
somewhere all the time (thou oo often
“ dead ahead”)-I—11nd very smoo for, con-
tinued until we reached Norwalk harbor.
On Tuesday were organized courts-martial
for the trial of Offenders, at which our legal
lumnaries, J udgc Advocate Taylor and
Senators Woodward 11nd Hoytgslinguished
themselves by then efforts to have justice
done. In the evening was held abusiuess
meeting, at which were passed votes of
thanks to Commissary Frank Mead, for his
careful attention to the wants of our“ in-
ner mun“; -” to Capt. Hobbief and his crew,
for their obliging disposition and actions
toward us all, and to the music and Vstew-
ards. Capt. Hobbie was elected an honor-
ary member. Then came the distribution
'of prizes. Mr. E. C. Bissell received one
for the largest number of blue-fish; Chas.
Olmstead for next largest number, Mr.
Woodward for the largest fish; A. C. Tav-
lor for heaviest fish; and one was given—-
have forgotten to whom—for the smallest.
Then the Chaplain made the speech of the
cruise. Messrs. Bissell, Woodward, 01m-
stead and Hill had started at one o’clock, a.
m., on Monday, determined to catch many
fish, but, finding 11 schooner in distress, had
run back to Edgartown to send a steamer
to her. The Chaplain referred to the heroes
of antiquity, to many whose names have
been celebrated by the historian, and whose
deeds the poet has sung ; he said that doubt-
less there were many who needed only the
opportunity to show themselves as brave as
any of' whom we read; he was glad Ito
know that there were some, even among
our own number, who were willing to run
any risk to rescue their fellow-beings from
a watery grave; and he presented each
with a medal, manufactured by the Score.
tary, out of the most costly materials avail-
able On board of the vessel, and suitably in-
their heroic conduct. Then came the “ ex-
perience meeting,” at which each member
expressed himself well pleased with the
trip, and anxious to go again. Next morn-
ing were other presentations. Col. Hoyt,
who had shown 11 great disregard for time
in his pleadings before the courts-martial
was pfisented with a chronometer, manu-
factured from a common vegetable, to re-
mind him that time is limited; Mr. J. E.
Willis, of N. Y., as a token of admiration,
and in sympathy for his misfortune in‘nOt
having had enough to cut during the cruise,
received 11 plate of hash; responding in 11
fine speech on the subject of hash, closing
with the quotation from Pope, of which the
last line is :—
' “ Whatever is, is right,”
which fairly brought .down the house.
“ Nellie" Nash, who was a great pet during
the whole trip, received a large bone.
We reached South Norwalk at about
half past three on Wednesday, and parted
with many words of friendship 11nd much
good feeling.I The most pleasant feature of
the cruise has been 1th perfect harmony
which has characterized it; everything has
moved smoothly, and where so many differ-
ent tastes and feelings are comerned, this is
no small thing to say. V
Our thanks are due to our friends at Oak
Bluffs, and particularly to the proprietors
of the “ SMiew" and “Pawnee, ” for kind
treatment.

Mn. Enrron ~ "
pm 81'1- :-—A new order has arisen in’
these later days which calls itself the order
of the “Sovereigns of Industry” whose pro-
fessed object is to reduce the prices of all
articles Of household and personal consump-
tion to the very lOwest notch possible.
This they propose to do by doing away
with the profits of all middlemen. Now
sir, I am one of those who Calculate prob-
able resuhsbefore rushing into every new
thing that comes along. be it ever so plausi-
ble; and the result of my thinking on this
subject I propose with your leave to lay
before your readers.
111911.018 the object of the. order-to be 11
good one, but the method employed decided-
ly bad, and that the ultimate results will be
disastrous to the "Democracy of Laborers.”
'The system, as I have it explained to me,
appears to be the substitution of monopoly
for ompelitz'on in trade. True, the system
has at present the appearance of 11 com-
petitive commerce, in as for as the Sovere-
igns purchase only from the lowest hidden
for their trade, but then a bid once accepted
becomes a monopoly to the trader whose
offer has been accepted.
What difference is there between this and
what our forefathers kicked againstso hard
almost a hundred years before America was
a nation. The Sovereign in those days for
money sold‘ the exclusive right to make and
sell goods to single individuals. The
Sovereigns of to-day propose to do precisely
the same thing only“ 1n a different way. Let
but the government of this country inaugu-
rate and make compulsory such a system
and it would raise such a storm as could
only be quelled. by the downfall-of the party
who proposed it.
Every one is pretty well aware that Cap-
italists do not care to invest heavily where
profits are small, or if they should have
already invested, when a time comes that
cut-tails their dividends they immediately
begin to find out some method of making it
pay. And where,‘ 1n manufacturing exper-
ience 1 ask you Sovereigns do they usually
begin ? Is it not by cutting down— the pay
of the help to make up the defeat on their
balance sheet. You make your contracts,
Sovereigns, by getting one manufacturer to
bid against the other till little or no profit
remains, and he quietly chuckles to himself
“my help can live so much cheaper Viiow
that they can afford 10 or 15 per cent. of
their pay to tip my loss. - if they take
it off at one' I will at the other. ” How
say you, Sovereigns, was not this something
like the cry during the late panic when
profits Were small.
Again, suppOse fora minute that the Sov-
ereignty principles are carried out to the
extent that the order professes to desire—
that is all, or pretty nearly all, the heads Of
families in the state of Connecticut, or for
the matter of that, in the United States,
(this is a national order) were Sovereigns
and doing business—business is the bona
fide Sovereign style—the trade of the whole
community, by contract (monopoly), falls
into hands of a few, who can, perhaps,
from peculiarly advantageous circumstan-
stances,s oil for 11 trifle less than their neigh—
bars.

business enterprise of which we, as a nation,
boast? What becomes of the laudable 11m-
bition that has started a poor meant the
foot of the commercial ladder, and raised
him to the topmost round of the ladder. 9
What becomes of th ergy that has built
and peopled cities 1n fabulously short
periods, and made us a. great commercial
nation f—crushed out by the hard, grinding
heel of despotic Sooeretgnty that cares for
no interest save its own. Verily, selfishness
is your backbone, “ Sovereigns.”
Again, as this is :a cash purchasing sys-
tem only, you, whom misfortune, or small
pay and a large family, have rendered de-
dealcrs with whom you trade, you have
neither part nor lot in this public-spirited
and philanthropic order. No, no; afllf
you are 11 majority, (as is generally the e
i .- manufacturing districts), you poor fel-

more for your goods than we who can bet-
ter afford it. . .
One word, storekcepers. 0&you expect
that old customers, who are not Sovereigns,
are going to pay you more for your goods
than you will sell to Sovereigns, who claim
immunities as Sovereigns? That the people
will not allow. Study well your interests.
and act accordingly. Verbium sap. A.

August 6th,1874. %
DEAR MB. (1.1an11. :--We are as you see,
at the Tip Top House, Mount Washington.
As this morning was very clear, we made
up a party of four and took the cars up to
Gorham, the next station, and there took lhc
stage to the top of the mountain. I walked
five of the eight miles up the mountain side.
I should have walked all the way but for a
severe hailstorm overtaking us. The 11111!
stones were as large as pigeons’ eggs and the
air was piercing cold, the seventh and
eighth miles. You never saw u prettier
sight it your life than m’et our 1 yes when
We got above the hailstorm. Way dowu in
the valley we could see the bail stones as
iie as snow, and as the sun burst out,
there were three beautiful rainbows ribbon-
ing the dark and angry clouds. It was aw-
fully cold, but we went around the house and
woiled and waited to see the sun, go down.
But we were so hungry, weIfiually yielded
and thought we could get our supper before
11 should dip below the horizon. . We mis-
judged, for while we were at suppethhe sun
sank out of sight, and so we lost our sun;
set view,bu*. we had 11 mosl excellent sup-
per, aud we stood in the greatest need Of the
supper, I can tell you. We are to get up at
four o’clock _to-morrow morning to see the
moon set and the sun rise. Three trains
have. came tip the inclined plane railroad

at half-past six. We can see the Green
