New York and Oswego Midland Railroad .- Articles of association filed Jan. 11, 1866. There has been much special legislation touching this road since its organization. The line extends from Jersey City, opposite New York, to Oswego, on Lake Ontario, a distance of about 240 miles ; passing through a portion of New Jersey, and the counties of Orange, Sullivan, Delaware, Chenango, Madison, Oneida, aad Oswego, in New York. It was opened about 1872.
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Com- pany .-- This is a Pennsylvania corporation, but, uader an act of the Legislature of 1864, it has the right to purchase and hold property in the State of New York. The Utica, Chenango and Susquehanna Valley Railroad is at present leased and operated by this company. The Utica, Clinton and Binghamton, and the Rome and Clinton Railways, are leased to the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, and operated by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company, under an arrangement with the Dela- ware and Hudson Canal Company.
The Rome and Clinton road extends from Rome to Clinton, a distance of 12 miles. It was opened in the latter part of 1871, and intended principally for a coal road. As above stated, it is leased by the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, and operated by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company.
TELEGRAPH LINES.
The first experiment in the modern system of telegraph- ing in the United States was made about 1844, when a line was established by its great inventor, Prof. Samuel F. B. Morse, between Washington and Baltimore. The first line put in operation in the State of New York was in 1845; and to a citizen of Utica, Mr. Theodore S. Faxton, are the people of the State indebted for carrying out the thea problematical enterprise.
Hearing much of the wonderful invention, and its mar- velous workings on the new line, Mr. Faxton determined to sce and investigate for himself. The matter was fre- quently discussed with interested friends, and Mr. F. finally proceeded to Washington, in 1845, and after fully satisfy- ing himself of the capabilities of the new invention, he obtained the right from the proprietors, Prof. Morse, Hon. Amos Kendall, F. O. J. Smith, and others, to build and operate a line between the cities of New York and Buffalo ; the original owners to have one-half the stock when the line was completed.
Upon his return to Utica a stock company, including him- self, Jo'ın Butterfield, Hiram Greenman, Messrs. Livingston, Wells, and others, was formed, with a capital of two hun- dred thousand dollars, and a line was put in operation the same year.
The Messrs. Livingston and Wells were in the express business. Mr. Faxton was chosen president of the com-

pany, and also superintendent, in which capacities he served continuously for seven years.
The first wire adopted was of copper, that being con- sidered the only available material for the purpose; but it was soon found that iron wire answered a very good pur- pose at much less cost, and the copper material was taken down and sold, and iron substituted in its place.
From this beginning the system has spread over not only our own broad land from sea to sea, but to almost every habitable corner of the globe, until it has become a common occurrence to receive daily at the great business centres the current news from every land, including the islands of the sea and far-away Australia. Improvements are constantly being made, and the recent advent of the "Telephone," the " Phonograph," the " Megaphone," and other wonder- ful contrivances and inventions, would indicate that the human mind is far from the limit of possibilities, and that the future will prove as prolific as the past in important discoveries. The lines at present in operation in Oneida County are the Western Union, the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, and the Utica and Black River, with stations at all important points.
EXPRESS COMPANIES.
Those at present doing business in the county are the " American" and the " Delaware, Lackawanna and Western."

LEGISLATIVE. SENATE.
Under the first constitution the Senate consisted of 24 members, apportioned among four great districts. After the first election they were divided by lot into four classes, so that the terms of six should expire each year. An additional senator was to be added to each district whenever, by a scptennial census, it was shown that the number of electors in the district had increased one-twenty- fourth. This increase was to be allowed until the number reached 100. The census of 1795 made the number 43. In 1801, the rule being found unequal in its operation, the constitution was amended so as to fix the number permanently at 32, where it has since remained.
Under the first constitution the State was divided into four great senatorial districts, entitled Southern, Middle, Eastern, and Western Districts. The number of senators from each district varied according to acts of Assembly passed at different periods.
Under the second constitution (1821) the State was divided into eight great senatorial districts, each of which was entitled to four senators.
Under the constitution of 1846 the State was divided into thirty-two senatorial districts, and this arrangement is still continued, the districts being re-arranged after each State censns, according to the population. The term of service under the new constitution was reduced to two years.
