NEV RAILROAD SCHEMES.

ANOTHER ROUTE NORTH TO MONTREAL-TfiE
NEw-YORK AND BOSTON, DUTCIEss AND
COLUMBIA, AND HARLEM EXTENSION AND
OTHER ROADS CONFINED.
The fight in the Legislature over the various
Rapid Transit projects has brought 10 light the fact that
combination Of several railways running north with
the New-York and Boston Road, now building from
High Bridge to Carmel, formed time ago with
the design Of giving another through line TO the North
The roads which il is understood are In this combination
are the NewYor and Boston, the Dutehess ana Column
bia, the Harlem Extension, and the Yer
mont Central. The nrstnamed which Is
IS miles In length Is now nearly all graded,
the excavations for the depos completed and the
rails will probably be laid this Summer. At Carmel it
connects with the Boston, Hartford and Erie forming
direct line east gaps Of 20 and the other OF 25
miles are to be built One Of these carries the line to
Pine Plains where 1t connects with the Duchess and
Columbia where another direct ne east the Connecti-
cut Western Railroad is encountered The Harlem ex-
tension carries the road north to Rutland where
the Vermont Central completes the line Montreal and
upites It with tho Grand Trunk and the prospective
Northern Pacific roads The combination Is called the
NewYork Boston and Montreal Railway Company.
The route as now arranged stops at High Bridge, the
Company having franchise by which they can ener
the city, will have to take boats or street
cars from Harlem to the lower part OF the city, To rem
edy this serious defect the Company secretly formed
combination with tho Central Underground Railway
Company with view TO finally getting an entrance to
the city without passing over Commodore NanderDhCs
lines 1t is claimed by the Central Underground and
the NewYork Boston, and Montreal Companies that the
bill lately introduced by Senator Robertson, au-
thorizing an underground road from Ftyninthstr
and giving the franchise to Commodore Van
derbt is intended to defeat not only the Underground
Road but the entire combination; and memorials
against the passage Of the Senator's bill were yesterday
addressed to the Legislature, and protest or John
" n0yI, vicePresident OF the New
was sent Senator Robertson individually Itiscaimed
that other than those named in the combna

INTERFERENCE WITH HOMESTEAD RIGHTS.


To the Editor OF rhe Tribune.
SIR: The impression prevails in this quarter
that the present Administration is IN the Interest Of
Spectators. Within the last lo years IN this county
there have been probably nearly 100 entries OF land made
under the Homestead act Of 1862 The settlers have built
houses broken up the land and cultivated 1t. and
making homes for themselves and lhaving lived the
quired five years their lands and otherwise fulfilled
the law trying to got their patents from Wash
ington. They have proved their claims ut the Land
Oncc, and had the papers sent to headquarters but
swamp land and railroad claims come in and contest
their right to their homes They have been required to

the thing over again. And the matter still fingers
In vexaous uncertainty Now what Is the reason that
our Republican Government, which made good com.
mencement In the Homestead BILL does not carry
