ANNUAL MEETING OF THE NEW-HAVEN
RAILROAD co.

The annual meeting of the directors ana Stockh0d-
ers of the Newllayen Railroad Co. was held al New
Haven yesterday, pursuant to public notice.
The President took the chair at II o'clock, and called
the meeting 10 order.
The Report of the Board of Directors, for the year
ending March 81, then presented and read by the
Secretary, MIR. ABERSErBY.
After coDgratularng the stockholders upon salts
factory progress which had been made toward settling
the tgations in which the Company has been so long
engaged growing out of the frauds of Robert Schuyler
and the anticipated early removal of all implements
or objections to the reopening of the Transfer Books,
the Directors say that during the past year they have
made careful examination of the entire road, bn iges
track station houses, &c, and with few uaimportsut
exceptions found all in very satisfactory condition;
that while il has been the aim of the management TO
restrict all expenditures with the compass OF economy
il has been part of their policy TO refrain from at all
times keeping the road AID lis equipment IN good safe
wo king order-and in confirmation of the expectancy
of this course they refer TO the gratifying fact that
although there have been transported the road
during the past three years three millions one
two hundred and twenty-five passengers together with
thirtythree thousand three hundred and ten tnns of
freight passenger carried has been IN AIRED to
an extent involving the loss OF Life or limb.
Experiments have been, and are still being made, IN
the use of coal burnirg locomotives instead of wood
burner. The adoption of recent improvements in
coal burners ii is believed, will effect a saving of
about 80 per cent in the expenses Of fuel.
The earnings of the road during the past year have
been follows:

Owing TO the great financial panic in the Winter of
1887 the receipts Of the road diminished in six months
TO the extent OF $9l 81 80, while during the last six
months they have shown gain of 81, OLA 90; and
Judging from recent steady increase Of receipts II is
believed that they will soon equal those of the year
preceding the reyulsion of 1857. The report further
Gets forth that reduction in the current expenses of
the Company has been effected to the amount of
$s1 ,5t6 81 during the past year.
The bond account has undergone change during
the past year, except by the exchange of one per
cent bond of 81 900 for mortgage bond of the same
amount, bearing per cent interest.
The real estate account Of the Company has been
reduced by the sale of property on Elm street, New
York, amounting TO 81 500 a. The property corner

Hon. w. w. Boyce .

We had The pleasure Of seeing our cs
teemed and distinguished Representative
in town on Tuesday, and hearing briefly
his views in short address at The Cour;
House, upon some Of the leading topics
OF the day. Mr.. Boyce said that a mis-.
apprehension ofhis views has been taken
by some OF the papers in the State. By
"moderation" he does not mean submis
sion. lie is unwilling 10 submit to the
dominion Of a Black Republican party,
and upon the election of President, as
the exponent of such party, he is no, only
TOR prompt dissolution OF the Union, and
Southern Confcderacy, but if need he
tor the seperate Secession Of South Caro-.
lima from the Federal Union. To remain
where we are, he says, after such an event
would be dishonor, degraGation and ruin
lie only counscls moderation now, as a
means to the end preparatory to the grea,
event which will he determined in the
election OF :he next President. lie wants
no new issues thrown as frebrands into
the Southern ranks We must know
what the South has to depend on among
' ourselves in regard to the future and its
action. Mr.. Boyce is opposed to Nation
al nominating Conventions, believing
them to be for the South wrong in pri, c
pie and false in policy.
He does not desire the State TO 90 into
the next scramble at Charleston, bn
would have us support cordially any sounC

Presidency by that Convention, who will

He would not support Douglas, or any

Mr.. EDITOR The time is fast approach
ing that the election Cor Clerk of the Court
of this District must take place. And we
deem this the proper time for candidates
to enter the field of competition for this Of
flee. Our due regard and friendship, and
the well known ability and qualities of Mr..
III. J. Hancock, prompts US to respectfully
place his name in nomination for Clerk of
the Court.
lie has illed the office of Deputy Sher
III with credit to himself and honor to the
District. He was nominated for Sheriff for
the ensuing term, out declines that nomina-
tion upon reasons, which have already ap-
peared in your paper, and which proves
satisfactory to every voter Of the District.
that he is no rampant office seeker-this we
all admire and should support such men
for public office. We have not consulted Mr..
Hancock in regard to tho use Of his name
and we do not know mat he will accept,
but nope he will. If he accepts the nomi-
nation, we herewith, recommend hi M to the
voters of Lancaster District. We have
known him from infancy up to manhood,
and can assert the fact, that he is the same

Harper's Ferry Resolutions.

The following are the preamble and
resolutions IN reference to tie Harper's
Ferry Abolition invasion, introduced in
the Georgia House of Representatives by
Mr.. GIBSON, of Richmond, aud passed
unanimously
Whereas, the late attempt at Harper's
Ferry in the State Of Virginia, to excite /.
portion OF the slaves of the South to in.
surrection, has produced the highest de
gree OF Indignation to the minds OF the
Southern people against tue perpetrators
Of that outrage, their aiders and abottors,
and affords just ground to apprehend a
renewal OF their efforts in other places -
And whereas the action of Gov. Wise
and President Buchanan meets with our
unqualified appreciation, we deem it in,
cumbent upon the members of the Legis
lature OF the State Of Georgia, to give the
most authoritative expression Of their
sentiments Therefore,
ResOtced, That we regard the effort to
excite the slaves Of the South to servi
insurrection with the most intense indip
nation, and trust that the parties to his
insane and reasonable plot may meet
with the most prompt and signal punish
ment, believing, as we do, that while it
will be meeting out Il just retribuiion for
their crime, it will exert wholesome in
fluence in deterring others from counter.
ancng similar movements.
ReSot9ed, That the prompt and ener.
getlc action OF Gov. Wise, OF Virginia,
aud of President Buchanan, in suppress
sing the outbreak at Harper's Ferry, in
their eit1rts to capture the insurgents,
evlnce degree of manliness and patriot
ism honorable alike TO them, and worthy
of our warm admiration.
ReSOtced, That we pledge the State of
Georgia to uphold and support the State
Of Virginia and the President of the Uni
tel States in the position they have as
sumedm connection with this unfortunate
affair, and we earnestly counsel the ut
most vigilance in guarding against a re
currence OF similar conspiracy, in our
own borders, or elsewhere at the South.
Resolved, That copy OF the forogo
ing preamble and resolutions be trans
mltted by the Governor of the State of
Georgia, to the Governor and Legislator.
of Virginia, and TO the President of the
United States.
The resolutions and preamble were or
Iered to be transmitted to The Senate
without DELAY.
Similar resolutions have been offered
IN the Tennessee Legislature.

FRAUDS IN PACKING CoTToN.-The New

last week, took for consideration the com.
plaints Of the British manufactures, with
regard to frauds in the packing of cotton.
The specific charge was, that sand was mix
ed with the article so as to increase its
weight. To put stop to these frauds res
olntions were introduced recommending
that three tickets with the planters max
thereon, should be placed at intervals on
the packages; also, that the name should
be printed on the outside. The planter
would thus be made to pay for any fraud
when dscovered,an the honest planter Pre-
tected. After considerable discussion, the
whole matter was referred to committee.
