Horrible CNtOSts. OlSIee ON THE N Y AND N HI RAILROAD FOrty-FOur Lives Lost

On Friday morning of last week. the most terrible accident in the history ol threading in this country. occurred at Norwalk. The Boston Express train
 which left N. Y.at 8 o'clock. and which does not stop at Norwalk station. ran of the drawbridge over that harbor, instant. ly killing by bruises or drowning. .torty.. jour passengers, and severely injuring some twenty others. The draw had been raised to let the Steamer Pacific pass through on her way to New York. The Locomotive, two Baggage Cars. and two Passenger Cara were precipitated into the river below, a distance of some 20 feet, and she passengers in them burled be. heath the water. The third passenger car was broken into, one half falling down upon the wreck below most of the pass sengers in the rear os tho car escaped unhurt. while those in the fore part, were either killed. or more or less injured.
 The calamity was the result of the most criminal carelessness on the part of the engineer, who neglected to obey the sig. nal that the draw was tuned, and came on to the bridge at the rate of more than 30 miles an hour. The signal. which is a red ball. visible when the bridge is right for the passage of trains, and taken down while vessels are passing through, is seen about three-fourths of mila be. low the bridge. and then cannot be seen again until the train approaches within a few rods of ths spot. The ball had been lowered for Is minutes. and had the en. gineer attended to lis duty on the look. out. or evsn slackenei his speed to the rate limited by the regulations of the company. this horrible accident would have been avoided. On coming within 50 yards of the bridge. the engineer first discovered the draw was open. .and giving one whistle and reversing ths engine. he and the fireman jumped for their lives. the latter escaping without a scratch. but the engineer, Ed dvard w. Tucker. he'd hi, leg broken by the fall. and was o.herwisa % severely injured that his recovery is oOnsidsFsd doubtful.

Houses. much expedition in legislatiOnis is not to be expected. Men ot experience are needed 10 set theFest to work.
 Hts Exoellency does not PeeHn to know what to do with the increased revenues of the State; and with tue accommodating surplus on hand. There probably will be some use for it; if not, VIC suggest that the State Officers and Members of the Legislature strike for higher wages.
 In his remarks on the School Fund, aOd the state of our schools, the Govern. or says that though originally opposed to the Normal School, he is now satisfied that it is of great service and is ably con. ducted. He advises that an institution analogous to "People's College" shall be established for the study of the prac> tical sciences, agriculture and the me chanical arts.
 The Governors observations respecting the importance of the State Reform School will be approved by every well wisEer of law and order in the State.-- He recommends an additional $25, ,0OO to be granted to carry out the plan to perfection. Appropriations to this ob' feet and to ihe support of the indigent Insane will be very laudable use ot the suplus in the Treasury.
 His ExcelIency has some of that sickly sen,imentalism that prevails lately about ameIiorating tie conditiop. of criminals. There seems to be late'y among some philanthropisls muchmore commiseration for the criminal than regard for the sui feriDg public, and much greater effort to mitigate the penalties of crime than to prevent its occurrence or to protect the community. We have alwas claimed however, with the Governor. that the object of the Wethcrs6eld Prison was not to make money out of the convic:s It was common argument with the Locofoco papers, in discussing the merits of different Wardens, that their candi' date made the most money for the State We commend the Governors remarks or this subject to the special attention of the New Haven Register.
 The abolition of capital punishment homestead exemption, alteraton of the attachment laws. a ten hour law, and the calling of a Constitutional Convention are all recommendations of tke Govern or. His attempt to obligc all the char tered banks to comply with the condi tions of the General Banking Law wt trust will never succeed. Let the su' pervisiob of the existing banks if it ]: thought best, be increased, but let u' not tamper by any new experiment. witl currency that is equal to that of any State in the Union. We hope ttat tlrere is wisdom enough yet left in the Legis' lature to counieract his Radicalism.
 One of the weakest points of Cover nor Seymour's message is his recommen- dation of law forbidding the issue oI small bills. The Loco party has tried that measure once in this State. and we were at once flooded with small bills from osh. CT states. The law could not be enfor- ced. for the people would take them to facilitate their exchanges, and we know of no law that will prevent men from re. csiving what they please in return fol their property. We are sorry to see bis ExcelleEcy recommending such perfect ly contemptible measure.

Wepublish this morning news from Califor.

executed a contract for semi monthly mail
over this route, to 20 INTO operation at an early

10y the regular Panama steamer Tennessee.
which was boarded off Acapulco by the agen.
of the new line, and brought thence to Vera
Cruz in five days, and thence to New Orleans
by the Albatross.
The contractors on this route propose to car.
ry the mails from New. Orleans to San Francis
co in sixteen days and expect to furnish facili.
ties for carrying passengers across from vers
Cruz to Acapulco in less than four days The
success which has attended this first attempt
to go over his line, shows that they have prob
ably undertaken no more than they will be
able to accomplish. The time occupied in this
first effort having been but eighteen days. II
is an achievement that speaks loudly for the
enterprise of the parties who have taken tho
contract.-Nsw York Tribune.
