A Railroad Proposition.

Proposed .ense of the New Haven and Hartford Road to the Boston and AL bany-The Project Considered and Re- jected.
 From the Boston Advertiserl
 At the recent meeting of the directors of
 the Boston and Albany railroad a proposition
 was placed before the board for a lease of the
 New York, New Haven and Hartford road for
 ninety-n nine years at an annual rental of nine
 per cent. It is understood that the proposi- tion was the result of a conference between
 MT. Vanderbilt and the New York and New
 Haven board and Mr. Bliss Mr. Bliss, how ever, did not urge it at the meeting of his directors It was stated that Mir Vanderbilt was in favor of it, and that he might even consent to assume half the lease There was quite long discussion. The arguments in favor of the lease were the benefits that would arise from the strength of one great corporation, through line under one man agement, and the reduction of expenses The rate of nine per cent. was mentioned in the proposition because that, it was claimed, is what the New York and New Haven is now earning. One of the State directors offered resolution that it was inexpedient to
 uaho tAo 1odSo dI u1Ho per CouG. 1n0 r6SO- lution was finally adopted by 8 vote of eight to three. It was argued by those who op- posed the lease in the first place that the rental was too high. A computation showed it would entail a perpetual expense of about $1, 600, 900 year. The capitalization of the proposed leased road was stated to be nearly double what parallel line could be built for, and competition and perplexing complica- tions would be sure to arise. It was not wise for the Boston and Albany which now pays eight per cent. dividend and whose stock sells at TO, to enter into any speculation which might imperil the interests of individual stockholders or the security of the trust funds of the State. There was nothing said at the meeting which would in dicate that lease could be made for less than nine per cent. At lower rate tie proposi- tion might have been received with more fa- vor. MT. Bliss was one of those who voted in favor of the resolution that it was inexpe- dient The three State directors also voted in the affirmative, although one of them, early in the discussion, favored the lease.

The Greenback state Convention.

The Greenback State Convention.
 ELMRA, Aug. 23.-The Greenback conven- tion assembled at half past two o'clock, about 15O delegates being present, and temporary organization was effected by the election of Clinton Furbish, of Brooklyn, as temporary chairman. Furbish, on being escorted to the chair, was received with hearty applause and spoke for about fifteen minutes in response to the honor done him. He reviewed the past history of the party and set forth its fu- ture as it seemed to him the chief feature be- ing its anti-monopoly characteristics, and that notion seems to be the governing one of the convention. The usual committees were appointed and resolutions passed that all resolutions presented should be referred to the committee without debate. The commit tee went out about 4 o'clock and were not ready to report at o'clock, the hour of the adjournment of the convention. During these tive hours the convention listened to speeches from several persons, among them a colored man of this city who professed to be a Greenbacker. The convention ad- journed to g B. m. tomorrow.

THE PEEPING sNEAKs.
tFrom the Chicago Tincs.l


The story that comes from Albany
with reference to the escapade OF Mr..
Platt and the manner OF its detection is
utterly amazing and disgusting. There
is no inherent improbability in the state
ment that grave and reverend senator
sought to solace the hours Of his trial
with forbidden pleasures. Statesmen
have done so before, and will do 80
again. They have not lost (such is the
laxity OF public sentiment IN this regard
and will not lose in standing or indu-
ence by the exposure OF their inconti.
nence. The reader will have no
difficulty in calling up illustrious exam
pies. living and dead. verifying this
statement. But that grown men, not
professional sleuth. hounds, men claim
ing to be the very quintescence of politi.
cal honesty and private worth should
deliberately plan to play the spy upon
these lax hours OF dalliance is amazing
and repulsive. The pink of the great
morality party in Albany, men like
Woodln and Hustled and Dogget, are
represented as systematically preparing
stealthily to peep upon the lecherous
dolngs of another member OF the great
morality party, and successfully carry
ing out their schemes. They remove
their boots. mount a step-ladder, peep
through the transom, and give way one
to the other in this despicable and de-
grading business. The conduct Of Plat,
however reprehensible, compared with
such sneaking performance takes on
something OF respectability. The sooner
the Albany crowd disperses, the better.
