The Railroad War.
PRESIDENT MORRILL, REPLIES TO BOSTON AND !
MAINE.

To the Editor Of the Portland Press.
My attention has been called to an article in
recent number of your paper over the sigma
ture of "Boston and Maine,' which purports
to be reply to my answer to the belligerent
manifesto of President White of the Boston &
Maine Railroad. A few words in review of that
communication may seem to be required, con-
sidering the official relation the author of it
holds to that railroad, though do not intend
to be drawn into controversy with that well
paid advocate. Boston and Name is too
good lawyer not to see the gross improperly
of mixing up your humorous editorial with
my letter, and charging upon the M. c. Com
pany views and purposes, foreign to, and UNI
supported by anything contained in my COM
munication. This course may be "lawyer-
like but, on reflection, 1 think the author
will realize that it is not the proper course to
pursue, if his object is to enlighten, rather
than mislead the public mind.
'sBoston and Maine" says, ''that the notice
given by the B. & NJ. r. r. states that they
will inform, the Me. Central of the place and
time of the proposed connection, and will put in
the same unless resisted; the warike pronun-
camento of this morning is merely ridiculus
mus" To this specimen paragraph have
brief answer. First: 1t is not true that they
proposed to notify the Maine Central OF the
e.''e and place, where and when the connec-
',ons would be put in. I say this with copy
u mr' mites letter before me, drafted un-
oouptedly by Boston and Maine" himself.
oecono' not a word appears in my answer to
PRESIDENT White intimating resistance by force,
much less any ''parlike pronunciamanto."

some harsh censures in the vicinity of

New YORK, July 26, 1878.
THE BOARD OF HEALTH has at last enter
ed upon work of sanitary beneficence in the
demolition of the fruit and vegetable stands
in and around Washington Market. For six
years this hygienic measure has been earnest
ly demanded by the public, and strenuously
combatted by the occupants of the stalls.
Washington Market, bounded by Green
witch West, Vesey and Fulton Streets, is one
of the Oldest landmarks of the Island. Years
ago it was the sole distributing reservoir of
the daily food of the jewellers in Manhattan.
AS the population increased the hucksters
gradually monopoized every available inch of
space on the sidewalks, and on the piers ly-
ing between the Market and the Hudson River.
Privileges for raisiug booths were sold and re-
sold until they acquired the dignity of vested
rights, and the business grew with such con-
tinuous rapidity that they became valuable.
Many little shed ten feet square and held
at rental of five dollars a week has been
passed from one occupant to another for a
consideration of thousands of dollars. The
market men as class have grown rich. They
were enabled to employ lawyers, procure in
functions from the Courts, and to defend their
tenants with the large advantages which pos
session and the means of resisting election
gave them.
The principal markets are the pronertv IF
the city. But they have never been sources
of adequate revenue. The politicians have
deprived immense emoluments from them.
Under Ringrule, democratic parasites fattened
luxuriously on these rich spoils. Every trans
fer required official sanction, and that sane
ton could only be obtained by bride.
In 1865, the Legislature created Board of
Health, and conferred upon it the right to in
terfere with these nuisancies in so far as they
might be deemed injurious to the public health
This Board labored vigorously to get rid of all
the old markets, to drive butchering beyond
the limits of the city and to cause the erection
by private enterprise of comely, commodious
and cleanly market houses at points where
they would obviously serve the general con-
venience. But the occupants of the cd shan
ties and booths fought against this innova-
ton with desperate energy, and with the help
of well paid lawyers and sympathizing judges,
they remained masters of the field until
Tweed's charter wiped out the State Health
Board, and remanded control of the whole
matter to the local democratic politicians,
