Two County Seats !
C


 The towns,of Winchester and New Milford are entering for another contest over county seats at the next legislature. The proposi- ton is to reeove the county seat lpermanently frdmthis plsce and nsAke shire pgns of yin sted and New Milford. We shah endeavor to meet this question candidly and shall. not claim. therefore, that Litchfeld is as readily accessible by rail as Winsted or Canaan. For highway travel, no other town is @ accessible. nor would both Winsted and New Milford be as conveniently reached by highway by a many towns as Litch6eld. Fer trials with witnesses in farming community, where near ly every farmer has his span of horses, we imagine that --raiiway facilities aTe of less account than highway facilitiess For Hlawysrs, whose stay st theo eoaft house is like to be more protfactsd. railYsyI facilities are more limportsat1 Hence welnotice that most of the agitation for the proposed change ean be tracsd to the lawysrs lising ~ 2. .didsanes from, Litch6eld- ssW instsdi fuFnisbss, ap ein- stance in point sdA meeting wasc called to take ithe matter int6 consideration.

About ten years ago. to furnish the outer western and northern tier of towns fur ther court facilities. the District Court was esI tablished, This court started with quite list of cases. A docket of 1875 now before US contains 123 cases. The number of cases brought to ehat court has, been dwindlins, however, till now there are but an average of sixty cases on it's docket And we notice that to the term of that court held at New Milford in September last, just one case was brought from the towns forming that section of the court. The whole New Milford docket with cases reaching back to 1877, contained only 16 cases; the Canaan docket, but IA 1; and the Winsted docket, 32. Looking at the list of days of each term held at New Milford in 1880 and 1881, we find the following;

| am advised tat you have pub

Billings to General Sprasue, stating,
among other things, that the object
of myself and friends, in obta,nin.
control of the Northern Pacific, is to
stop its construction west of Wallula,
in order to make it tributary exclu-
sively to the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company. l pronounce
this allegation unqualifiedly false,
and defy President Billings to pro-
duce the evidence. Myself and
friends own and control over $780,
600, 900 of Northern Pacific common
ana preferred stock, representing an
investment of Si6. 900 900, which we
propose to make permanent. 1t is
absurd and ridiculous to assert that
we should deliberately proceed to
make this investment unproductive
by preventing the development of
the Northern Pacific enterprise with
in the proposed limits. Our inter-
ests in the Northern Pacific represent
five times the money value of our
holding of Oregon Railway and Nav
igation Company stock. The Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company
itself does not own single share of
Northern Pacific stock. You may
