The Legislature has passed bill consoli
dating under one charter certain railroad
companies two of which were the Maryland
and Pennsylvania, and State Line and Juniata,
which are hereafter to bear the name of Bal.
timore, Philadelphia and New York Railroad
Work has been going on upon the line of the
Maryland and Pennsylvania road near Tow
sontown, for some time past. The consolidat
Ell company only desired the privilege Of run
ming their railroad and telegraph lines
through this State. This has been granted
them, coupled with certain conditions intend
ed 10 protect individual rights. Strenuous ef
forts were made against the passage of the
bill, by the friends of other corporations, with
whose interests the new line was supposed to
conflict; but by the exertions of the Hartford
delegation the bill finally passed.
= We have the gratifying assurance, from
those in position to know, that now the road
will certainly be built. A large amount of
capital, it is stated, is ready for investment in
it, and the most liberal encouragement should
be given by Hartford and Baltimore counties
The right of way should be freely granted,
and where damages may reasonably be claim
ed, no excessive amount should be demanded.
With the assistance which we ought to give,
and which the company have right to ex-
pect, we believe that the cars will he running
from Baltimore TO Bel Air within the next
twelve months.

heads nearly severed from their bodies, and
near by were the dead bodies of Reckstein

A Splendid Democratic Victory in Con.
necticut.

The election in Connecticut on Monday re-
suited in splendid victory for the Demo-
Gratis, who reelected Hon. Charles r. niger
soil Governor and will have majority of
sixty on joint ballot in the Legislature. This
will secure the election, next fall, of Demo
crat to the United States Senate from that
State. The result has greater significance
from the fact that this is the first time for
the last twenty-one years that the Demo Gratis
have had entire control of Connecticut.
This great triumph in Connecticut, follow
ing closely upon the success of the Democra-
cy in New Hampshire, shows very clearly
that the people have at last reached the limit
of forbearance with the party that has con-
trolled the country for the last fourteen years,
and that they have determined to administer
severe and lasting rebuke to the faithless
public servants who have assumed to be their
masters.
When political revolution once hegins,
no power can stay its course, but like an AL
pine avalanche, it gathers strength as it rolls
onward, overwhelming every barrier that
would stay its progress. We have never be-
lieyed that the honest and fair-minded men
of the Republican party could justify, in their
own minds, the disagreement, the disre-
gard of party pledges of reform, the selfish
ness and want of consideration for the inter-
ests OF the people, that have characterized
the men they have elevated to power. They
ave hoped against hope-unwilling to ac-
cept the alternative of voting against the
party that once commended itself to their
Judgment as the one best suited to admins
ter public affairs but the last straw has been
laid upon the patient camel, and it has sunk
beneath the burden.
While the charges of official dishonesty and
fragrant disregard of law was made by Demo-
Gratis, it was ascribed TO unworthy motives,
and excused but when the evidence became
so strong and conclusive, from sources that
Republicans themselves could not disregard
nor disbeleve, they became indignant, and
uniting with the Democrats, having taught
their rulers, IN Connecticut as in New Hamp-
shire, lesson which they will not soon for
get.

Favor to explain away the cause of their de-
Eat, and attribute it to everything but the

final overthrow of Radicaism in 1876, by the
election of n Democratic President.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGISLATURE
Both Houses of the State Legislature adjourn
ed on Monday night, at - o'clock, having
been in session for ninety days, the time lin
tied by the Constitution. 1t is difficult to say
at present, precisely what bills passed during
the closing hours; but among those most
important to our county, was the passage of
the bill to consolidate the State Line and Ju.
niata, the Maryland and Pennsylvania and
other roads, under one charter, authorizing
them to operate their road in this State, un.
der the title of the Baltimore, Philadelphia
and New York Railroad.
The act incorporating the town of Bel
Air also passed both Houses.
The bill authorizing Hartford county to
subscribe $250,000 TO the capital stock of the
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York
Railroad passed the House, but was amended
in theSenate so as only to authorize the coun-
ty commissioners to endorse the bonds of the
company. 1t failed in this shape, to pass the
House, for want of time.
A bill to tax dogs was also passed.
Nothing was done in regard to the
liquor question. Every move in that dircc-
ton was so hampcred with amendments rs
| to kill it.
The city extension bill was also passed,
notwithstanding the strenuous fight against
it by the Baltimore county delegation.
During the closing hours votes of thanks
were rendered to the President of The Senate
and the Speaker of the House, for the able
and impartial manner in which each OF those
| gentlemen had discharged their duties.

Letter from COOptOwn.

CooProwN, April Oh, 1874.
MIR, EDITOR: 1t Is not often that VIC seek
place in the columns of Il newspaper, and yet pos
sibly, we have some claims upon the notice and
consideration Of mankind, claims based not up
on the number and wealth of our inhabitants,
but rather in those higher qualities, which are
the ornaments and should be the boast of every
civilized and Christian community.
In the first place we have no need of "local
option" SO far as our immediate vicinity is
concerned, and second, we have the church in
which the word of life is faithfully dispensed"
and the sacrements "duly administered" Our
citizens though few in number ale character
lied by industry and morality.
Among them is Judge Bay, the venerable oc.
togenarian, whose life has brought no shadow
upon his fair fame. And Howard Waters, Esq,
our merchant, gentleman of the strictest in.
tegrity in business, and the beneyolence and
generosity of whose character and deeds com.
mend him to the respect of all who have the
ability to appreciate the noble qualities which
are the glory of a true manhood.
Little we are, but not least among the princes
of Hartford. NM

Railroad,

An article in the Democrat of the Sd instant
does our Senator great injustice, as it attempts
to place Inn in the position of an opponent to
the construction of n railroad passing through
the county. Now, this is not So as from the Ian.
guagc Of a letter which | now have before me,
his only opposition was 10 the passage of law,
even it was merely preliminary step, author
izing the county commissioners to subscribe di-
rectly in money, to the stock Of railroads, to the
large amount of $3.50, 900, to be raised by the
sale of county bonds, calling, of course, at once
for largely increased taxation on the property
Of the county, already so heavily burdened, and
particularly when it was asked for by but about
$50 of its ci liens. AT the same time he was,
and had always been perfectly willing that the
county should have the power Of endorsing the
bonds of a bona tide railroad that might approach
our borders, either from the east or the west
and should desire the endorsement of its bonds,
and be in condition to give n first mortgage
upon its property and profits that would be of
such value as to ensure the county against all
loss and such is the character of the bill as
passed
repeat, the article in the Democrat is unjust
and unfair, both in spirit and in letter.

Major Frank A. Bond, from Anne Arundel,
but formerly of this county, as Adjutant
General of the State, and his appointment
was confirmed by the Senate. General Nc

day, General Bond was duly commissioned by
the Governor, and by a flank movement OBJ

This Institute has been established, and is

emincntly successful by similar Institutions
in Europe, as for example, that of Prof. Won
Graefe of Berlin, of whom the surgeon in charge
is pupil. The success and public favor which
have greeted it from its Inauguration, have been
80 encouraging, that We have been induced to
extend its accommodations from time to time
and now can confidently claim that no institu.
ton in the country can offer more suitable pro-
visions for the comfort care and convenience of
its inmates.
As this was the pioneer establishment in the
Southern States and Is now in the fifth year of
its existence, it may be not inappropriate to re-
fer to the fact that since its Inauguration, nearly
five thousand operations have been performed,
including four hundred and fifty cataract opera
tions, the statistics of which compare most fa.
vorably with any on record

INSTITUTION, located at No. n Saratoga
