ELIZaBETH-TOWN,
TUESDAY, MARCH z, 1890.

more respectable meeting OF the inhabi-
tanss Of this place, on a similar occasion,
was never witnessed, than one convened
on Tuesday evening last, for the purpose
OF considering subject Of vital interes,
to the town. Entire order and perfect
unanimity Of sentiment we're its visible
characteristics.
Each resolution before It's adoption was
FULLY discussed, and il is believed fully and
satisfactorily understood by the audience
collected, who we're remarkably attentive,
aud to all appearance deeply impressed
with the great importance oil the business
before them.
AT a very numerous and respectable
meeting of the citizens of the free borough
and town Of Elizabeth Town, held at their
common hall, CD Wednesday evening, the
29ih February. 1920, bis honor, CALtB
HALsTED, junr. the mayor Of the borough,
was chosen Chairman, aud JAMES CRANE,
Secretary.
The following resolutions we're read
and having been again read and fully dis
cussed and considered, paragraph by par
agrapb, they were unanimously adopted,
with the exception of one dissentient to
the third paragrsph,)
RESOLVED. LIST. That the bill lately pass
ed by our Legislature, respecting the ju-
risdiction of this state, while it does not
appear TO have any tendency TO that OBJ
ject, will, according to its present provis-
ions, in all probability, deprive great
part of our region of country of the bene-
fits of steamboat navigation, now enjoyed
by them TO great advantage, and produce
corresponding inconveuienCies which can
scarcely be imagined; besides great loss
of private property, the consequences of
which will be extensively felt.
Ill. That the operation of the law ap-
pears to be partial, inasmuch as il is under
stood that the routes TO and from N. York
and New-Jersey by the way Of Powles
Hook and Staten Island will be left open.
so that the communication by way of Eli.
zabeth- Town Point will be sacrificed for
the advancement Of those other routes
above mentioned, one of which is totally
out Of the state, and the other holden in
a great measure by citizens of New Y ork.
III. That in the opinion Of this meet
ing, the rights of New-Jersey ought to be
vindicated 10 a due course of legal pro.
ceedings, rather than by acts OF the iegis
lature, whose operations may be partial
doubtful, and perhaps wholly Intellectual
Nv. That Messrs. Ichabod Williams
George C. Thomas, Elihu Britt,n, Vim.
Dayton, Thomas S1lter. Smith Halsey
aud Oiiuer S. Halsted, be committee tc
wait on the legislature, and use all rea.
sonable measures TO procure repeal of the
said law, OF postponement Of its operation
to day as far distant as may be possible
RESOLVED, That the foregoing resolu.
tons be signed BY the Chairman and Sec
rotary, and handed to the printers of th,
public papers OF this town for publication.
CALEB HALSTED Jun. Chairman.
JAMES CRANE, Secretary.
The Legislature of this state adjourned
on Friday last, to meet again on the 9TH
day Of May.
The day before the rising Of the Legis-
lature, law passed reducing militia fines
one-half: privates are now Unable one
dollar instead of two, for non.attendance
at militia trainings. A law also passed
to extend the prison limits to the whole
county; so that a gaol is no longer the
necessary abode of poor debtors, whilst
going through the surrender Of their pro.
perry under the insolvent laws.
