To he RSitor Of he TrtSurt:
ia your paper few days since you state the re-
vival Of the Charter of the Bslvidere and Della
ware Railroad by the Nsw,jersey Legislature and
that the object Is to transport produce and coal
down TO Trenton, and then by the Delaware and
haritan Canal or Camden and Amboy Railroad 10

Of NewJersey will show that th, would really be go.

this favorite and natural route by revng dead char
ter tits amusing TO witness the inconsistency of men
almost In the breath Certain men were very much
horrhsd thatthe somerve and Essson Railroad should
be chartered with power to buy the Bonneville and
Eissbshtown Railroad, Usow FtvaS notice as required
BY ia obscng 10 tbs buying up this road and thus In
effect relieving 1t from Its forfeited charter BY reason OF
1t. sale by the sheriff which would have been perhaps
indirectly effected had the purchase By the Somervile
and Easton Railroad been allowed Now what objection
could be made % revving this soneryile and Eira

has been compelled postponed least for another
year and the Bonneville Railroad remains in the hands
of the purchasers at the sherfs sale they not being
sbasssely to reconstruct this road until recharter.
Tow although this result owing to the odHt OF
cs required by lao yet the objections few days
before the session closed hoS any notice shateOer
assvored give lie TO the dead charter OF the Bel
videre and Delaware Railroad which hsd expired
year ago and declared by the act OF incorporation IL
self 20 be null and void" by extending the time for
commencing and completing the railroad, when there
was no time left to extend This Of will prove
an aborive effort for although we reed that the lie OF
the good Hezekiah extended yetthis was oeors his
