Yale College.

The connection of the commonwealth and Yale College Is of increasing importance. The whole State will share in it's prosperity or suffer by its failure to maintain, the high rank which it holds among the great universities of the world. The corporation now consists of eleven gentlemen, who fill vacancies in their own number, and the gov. ernor, Eeutenant-G Governor, and six Senators oi the State. While the interest and representation of the State in this venerable college is very large it's official connection with 1t is, in fact almost nominal. as it is rarely the case that any of the six Senators attend meetings of the corporation
 The great body of the graduates, who have deep throughout every State. can wield the stronges, influence for it's welfare, have no direct voice in it's management. l would therefore suggest
 whether 1t would not be well for the State, the college, and the alumni at large, to surrender to the latter one-haf of the State representation in its board of corporation-the new members to be elected by the alumni to serve for four years one to go out each year. Goverror's Messoge
 The gentlemen who hold eleven of the seventeen places on the board of trustees of Yale College, and who appoint their own successors, are all Congregational clergy men. Not only could they the more grace. fully give up portion of their seats to the alnuni of their own training, but it would remove grave objection to the present constitution of,. at least, the scientific branch of that college. The Sheffield Scientific School is the yearly recipient of aid from the National Government through our School Fund Commissioner, as an Az rieultural College. Is not that college under its present management. liable to all the objections which have been con- stantly made against every other species of school controlled. or liable to be controlled, by religious denomination? That the Scientific School is now managed as sec tartan affair, we do not claim. It has its reputation yet to earn, it's funds to increase by public and private donation. before it could afford to show any color of sectarian ism. So long, however, as the legal control of that school is merged with that of the college in the hands,of sectarian board of trustees. so long is it open to very grave risk of injury from such a connection. It would seem to us, too, that if Yale col
 lege is ever to be great university, il must throw off its sectarian trammels, and set worthy example of that non. n.sectarian education which should prevail in the high
 est, as we'll as in the lowest grades of oul national system. r,@ - od

 TKn NEw ooUNrY. New Haven has started flank movement in opposition tc the project for a new county with iis centre at Waterbury. The representatives of New Haven County are summoned to meet on Friday. to layea tax.-.s for the purpose oi building Court House in the said New Haven County. and purchasing lot there for." The Waterbury 4merican exclaims against such plan while their county pro. ject is pending,and suggests that the Capi. tai question be pressed to vote on that very day. That paper also favors the Cap ital amendment. and it is becoming pretty evident that little love. is lost between New Haven and its rebellious sister city. a
 A town meeting was held in Bethlehem, last week, at which a vote was carried ia. vorable to the new county project. We should judge that the friends, of Waterbury were out in full force. for there were just thirteen persons present at the meeting, as we are informed. The location of stations has not yet been made on the Shepaug road, but when that has been done, we shall be surprised if Bethlehem does not find it's best and shortest railroad commu. nication with the west road. IF
 On Saturday, Watertown voted on the same question, and passed resolutions fa- voring the new county, provided Water bury will furnish for the use of the new county Court House, with accommoda- tions for court purposes, for twenty-five years, tor one dollar q gear, and also fail free of aU e1pense.'' ia air .t
 By the time Waterbury has built it's jail, and paid its proportion of the expense of erecting fine new Court House in New Haven, it will have paid pretty dearly for it's new whistle. jH sai t.

 1G A general outcry has arisen in our State papers against Mrs. Woodhull's free love editorials, which is very credi- table. But we see no exception taken to the villainous injustice of the Statute which punishes the adultery of a Connecti- cut wife with not less than two years i'm prisonment in the penitentiary, while it lets off the Connecticut husband, shining in like manner, for seven dollar fne,- which is very discreditable. The matter was up in the Senate, last week, but not one of that "most potent, grave, and reve- rend'' body proposed to remedy the injus- tice in question. The Hartford Times does, indeed, propose the following alleuia. ton of this manifest injustice: '-t3 Let them also fix the same penalty [imprison- ment in the State Prison], to the disgusting out rsge of 8 married mans making, or attempting to make an unchaste woman companion of his own wife and family, by taking her into their presence in his own house. fs Eat5.,5ss sIt..
 That then, is the extent of justice prac- ticable under male rule! Now, just i'm agine that women were allowed to vote, and how long would it take our Senate to discover that the adulterous husband de- serves the State Prison as richly as the adulterous wife?

HARRISBURG, May 80, 1s71s
Editor Democrat:
It seems that some of the Kalama
excitement has been transferred to Hall
sey, of late. Asour people are in the
midst of an exciting period, we expect
that somebody will misplace their con-
fiience and money.
We do not propose to urge advice
upon the people in matters of their own
business, but are inclined tosugg stalit-
tie caution and aliude to the chimerieal
circumstances which just now sur
round Halsey, and give 1t its present
interest and aerial precocity.
That Halsey will attract a considera-
BILE flow of produce, we have no doubt.
It will be good business scenter for a
large neighborheod. Beyond this, it
has no natural advantages which
prephesy q future prominenee.
Harrisburg has those very local adj
vantages that will make it a large COM
mercial center for both Linn and Lane
counties.
Its fortunate geographical position
its mills and other permanent capital ;
its navigation; its social infiuence-are
all features of. high and enviable inn
portance which fortell the future thrift
andsimportanee of our city. Many OF
our citizens, for miles off. have sub
scribed to our late subsidy, and express
ed a qualification that the railroad was
going to pass through Harrisburg, i'm
stead of running through or near their
farms, So that this section of the coun-
try may have a permanent and respect
able city, rather than a few scattered
and rival villages. They understand
the notable advantages which such q
commercial nucleus secures to coun-
try.
We understand that there is q good
deal of skill and business rascality en-
ployed in order to hurry people to buy
lots at Halsey. Men have even beer
told, with bogus air of sincerity, that
Harrisburg would have to move out to
Halsey! Now the railroad company
are making money by this strategetie
maneuver-hut who is it that is paying
for the whistle!
Mr.. Halsey may be fast and expert
driver, but We think his Juvenile name.
