-HA_;1:'TI;;:rI—(a—f. New York has gone to
york in good earnest at purging that City of
some of its numerous nuisances. He has late-
ly turned his attention to the breaking up_ of
Lotteries,Gift Concerns, &c., &c., with which
the City abounds ; he has, within the last few
‘uh .4-Qug,_ed twelve of these establish.
snents, for defrauding the unsuspeclmg °“‘
of their money. Three more time doing *1
business in bogus lotteries, were traced
by his oHcers5‘tb Norwich and New London,
‘in this State,-and-were bf the “id °f the 3"‘
thorities of those ‘places, effectually broken
up ‘lait "week. It seems that their -head-quar-
teri were ‘located in the above -places, but
their business was carried on through "the New
York Post Office. Their plan of doing busi-
ness was as follows :—They sent from the N.
Y.‘Post Ofice, lottery advertisements and
circulars announcing that a lottery scheme
would be drawn on such a day. The letters
reeeived, were sent by some confederate in
New_,York, to Norwich and New London.—
No prizes were ever drawnjall the ticket
holders were notified that they had drawn
blinks, andsolicited to try again. These
Iwindling concerns had been_in operation for
the past six years, during which time, the
proprietors had accumulated quite large for-
tunes, so well had they succeeded in gulling
the.pnblic.. . -
The Mayor now opens all letters sent to
these’chesting concerns, and returns the
money found in them to the writers, at the
some time cantioning them to beware, in fu-
ture, ‘of false lotteries, gift enterprises, &c.—
He has opened over three thousand letters
andreturns about $8000 to the senders. May
success attend him in his earnest efforts to
purify the city of all such iniquities.

, '‘,Che_ating in all trades but ours,”
So thought our friend Clark of the “ Mock (2?)
‘Auction Store,” across the street, after wit-
passing the opening of a pail of butter, at
one of -the numerous Grocery Stores, one day
last week.‘ The butter, which was put up in
nnblli rolls, as_ new butter generally is, was
pronounced excellent by several gentlemen
who‘tiist’ed it, but on cutting through the
‘rolls, the inside of each was found to be com-
posed of ‘ strongbutter, unfit to eat. Clark,
whose‘ wit has wonderfully sharpened since
the opening of his Auction Sales, immediate-
ly pronounced it " Double Plated Butter !”

Mn. Eorron :—-A short time since, I
archesed a bale of Hay from Mr. Sel-
fish of the Norwalk Packet Oflice, weigh-
ing'200 lbs., and marked on the oak rails
that are used for that purpose, R. E. R.
After taking it to the barn, I proceeded
to open it, when I was surprised to find
that-, instead of Hay, I had bought Straw.
The outside was a fair sample of Hay
and Rails, but the inside was nothing
.n1ore nor less than the contents of an old
’ Straw Bed. I would state that I called

-amine the .Hay, so I might have proof of

Lecompton Westport.
Mr. EoIroa:——Tl.te same spirit wlfich
prevaded Kansas some time since, istill
prevails in Westport, but only in
a more restricted form. We had
a fair sample of this on Election Da_,y.—--
The election passed off much to thle en-
couragement of the “ friends of Freed .om,”
Iiotwithstaudiiig the three hiiudrc:-it dol-
lars and a multitude of mm bills .'said to
have been prom2'sez.’ and paid by tlie suc-
cessful candidates. Last year the democ-,
racy took the lead by about a. hundred
majority——tliis year we come ‘without 23
on the Representative Ticket, and should
have given them "' Jessie” had 35 or 40
of the “ almz’t cave” and “ sick owes” turn-
ed out ; but we are satisfied. The better
part of the community are on our side
among which are the Clergymen, two of
whom came forward to the rescue. Con-
sidering that a -’

They were determined by their vote as
well as by their presence that they would
do what they could to avert the evils
which corrupt legislation had brought up-
on the country. One of the ministers
had never been made a freeman but wish-
ing to vote, presented himself to the
board. No sooner done, than a‘messen-
ger was dispatched for Mr. Buchana.u’s
head man, our little one eyed, snub-nosed
Post Master, who declared the candidates
-must read not being fully satisfied about
his qualificaticm on tliat point, our minis-
ter very cheerfully granted his request as
well as that of the board, and inquired
of his “Excellency” how long and how
loud he should read in order to satisfy
them as to /zis ability in that respect. It
is supposed after such an ordeal he voted
'r2'gizt. .
‘The democracy had out their full
strength and did their best, we noticed
one or two among them rather “ seedy”
and judging from the difi‘e1'ent patches
and colors upon their coats should think
they must have been “ turn coats.”
They voted with the rest of the Le-
comptonites with as much gusto as if the
fate of the country depended on them.
The voting over and declared, three
cheers were given for R. H. Winslow
and the Democracy ; and the crowd dis-
parsed to await the result ?

Wssrroar, April 9th, 1858.
Mr. Emron :-—An individual strives to
immortalize himself by giving a history ,
of the election in this town, in a letter to
the Farmer of this week over the signa-
ture of “ Philander.” We are wholly at
a loss to understand who this Philo can
be; knowing as we do the scarcity and
need of literary men in the place (espec-
ially in the party of which Philander
claims to be a member) you can imagine
our surprise when our eyes first fell on
this celebrated manifesto. Yet we con-
fess that we are unable to understand
some of his ambiguous phrases or rather
his application of terms, although he
doubtless borrows his epithets from the
vocabulary of the Bridgeport Farme1'.———
what do you mean Philander by styling
the Republicans “Blacks ?” You ought
to know if you know anythiug(?)that the
party which has been trying to Negroize
our fair western territories, is far more do-
serving of such an appellation. -Perhaps
you intended to limit the application of
your terms to your political opponents in
Westport. Oh, Philander, you are too
deep for us, we are still unable to under-
stand ; yet one thing we do understand;
it is this——the Republican party in .West-
port is composed of 1'espec-table » men,
there is not a thief nor a drunkard that
votes the Republican Ticket in Westport.
Philander, car! you say as much for
your party in this place?

@‘The Utah Peace Commissioners

of a battle between the troops and the

men sent last year ? If sent then, some-,
thing might have been accomplished, but
the scores of men who are to make their
fortunes as contractors for the Expedit-
ion might not have thought so favorably
of Mr. Buchanan. They are satisfied
now that this is the most glorious Ad-
ministration that ever existed. The cost
of the expedition to the country at large
will probably range from $50,000,000 to
$100,000,000. - ' * » - ‘~ _
Congressional.
Tu.esda_i;.—-The SENATE voted (30 to
24) to “insist,” and ask for a Committee
of Conference with the House upon the
Kansas question. M1‘. Pugh, after argu-
ing tbat it was unpurliamcntary to insist
after an adherence, dodged the vote.—_—
Messrs. Green, Hunter and Seward, were
appointed members of the Committee on
the part of the Senate. A discussion up-
on the mcrits of Mr. VVilsou’s Utah Tele-
graph bill resulted in the postponement
of the subject till next December.
The HOUSE, Mr. Montgomery, upon
the reception of the message from the
Senate, asking a conference, gave notice
that he should call up the Kansas bill at
one o’clock today. In Committee of the
Whole the Senate Police bill for the city
of Washington was discussed——the Oppo-
sition expressiug a disincliuation to_1_n-'
trust the appointments to the Adminis-
tration. Between Mcssrs. Clemens and
Campbell was brisk sharp-shooting. Whlch
gave rise to much merriment.
l'Ved7lescla3/.———SENATE, the memori-
al from the Utah Legislature was present,
and laid upon the table. Lecompton res-
olutions from the Legislature of Califor-
nia were referred.' Mr. Gwin’s Pacific
Railroad bill elicited an animated discus-
sion, in which Messrs. Green, Douglas,
Jones, Brown, Iversou and Seward par-
ticipated.
The House voted a Committee of Con-
ferrence with the Senate upon the Kan-
sas question, after having refused to ad-
here. Both points were decided by the
casting vote of the Speaker. Upon the
motion to adhere, made by Mr. Mont-
gomery, were 108 Yeas‘ and 107 Nays;
upon the motion for a Conference, made
by Mr. English, there were 108 Yeas to
108 Nays. There were eight pairs and
one absentee, Mr. Whiteley of Delaware
The members of the Committee have not
yet been appointed. During the residue
of the session the House was in Commit-
tee of the Whole upon the Police bill for
the District of Columbia. Mr. Reagan
of Texas, in opposition the measure, spoke
his mind very freely about The Union
and its attempts to read Democrats out
of the party. Mr. John Cochraue would
have the appointment of ofiicers iutrusted
to a Board of Commissioners, not to the
President.
T/z.ursdag;.—-The SENATE agreed to a
resolution, offered by Mr. Féssenden, rc-
questing the Secretary of War to furnish
information respecting supply contracts
for the Utah cxedition. The Consular
Diplomatic bill was passed. A resolution
that when the Senate adjourns on the 7th
of June, as already voted it be to the 1st
of November, was laid over. The Pacific
Railroad bill being taken up. Mr.
Polk argued in favor of the 35th par-
allel. Mr. Mason argued against the
inauguration of a system of bounties from
the Government, and expressed his pur-
pose to oppose every bill that “proposes
to bring an insatiable swarm of specula-
tors to the doors of the Treasury by do-
nations of money or lands.” Mr. Hale
doubted the competency of the Treasury
to the purchase of Cuba and the construc-
tion of a Pacific Railroad at the same
time. Mr. Doolittle moved that the
northern terminus be at the confluence of
the Bois des Sioux with the Red River of
the North. Mr. Foster moved that all
the iron used be of American manufac-
ture. The bill repealing the first section
of the Registry act of 1825 was passed.
The House, Messrs. English, Ste-
phens and Howard were appointed upon
the Committee of Conference on the
Kansas question. Two bills making ap-
propriations for various rivers and harbors
‘a bill for the codification of the revenue
laws were reported. The Police bill for
the District of Columbia was discussed.-
Mr. Stepens made an ineffectual motion
to take up the Minnesota bill.
Friday, was devoted to private bills.
One was passed in the House which, in
efi°ect-, overruled a decision of the Court
of Claims -adverse to the claimants. An
amusing personal colloquy took place be-
tween Messrs. Clingman and Giddings.
Saturday, the Senate was urged by
Mr. Hunter to take up the Deficiency
bill. It was finally made the special or-
der for Monday. The Pacific Railroad
bill Mr. Benjamin moved to postpone till
December. This was earnestly opposed
by the California Senators, Mr. Broderick
reminding the opponents of the bill on
the Administration side that the vote of
California was given to Mr. Buchanan on
the psomise of a Pacific Railroad, while
Mr. Gwiu pronounced a vote for post-
ponement to be conclusive against the
construction of any road. Messrs. Green
Douglass and Bell also spoke against Mr.
Benjamin's motion, while Messrs. Iverson
and Johnson of Arkansas supported it on
the ground that there was no hope of a
route offering “ justice to Southern inter-
ests.” Mr. Benjamin’s motion was final-
ly adopted, and the subject postponed
until December by a vote .of 26 Yeas to
Nays 18, Lecomptonites voting in the
af‘firmative.
The House, nothing noteworthy was
done.

The Bank of North America.
At the late term of the New Haven
Superior Court, the case of the Bank of

who had advanced money to help the
B ank, through its difliculties, on a pledge
of the bills of the Bank. The New Hu-
ven Journal says : “ We understand there
is money enough to pay the two first
classes, and that enough will be realized
ultimately to pay the latter class, which
includes those Banks of our city which at-
tempted to help the Bank out of its

The Election Frauds in Essex
We noticed the other day-, the frauds
committed by Stephen W. Starkey, la
Sham Democratic lawyer of Essex, who
was a candidate for the office of Repre-
resentative, and, as sclectman, had charge
of the ballot boxes. It was known that
he could not be elected, though the
town gave one majority for Gen. Pratt
and when the vote was declared, for
Starkey I-11, for rlcdfield 126, a
storm arose. The committee of inves-
tigation appointed on the evening of elec-
tion have drawn up a paper to which 162
who voted on that day have affixed their
signatures, declaring their willingness to
make oath to the fact that they voted
for Redfield, and four others will sign
the same paper if necessary. Thirteen
others sign another paper declaring that
though they voted for state officers they
did not vote for Representatives.
The whole number of votes was 284,
and it appears from the foregoing state-
ment that 13 did not vote for Represen-
tative ; 166 voted for Redfield, and 105
for Starkey, giving the former 61 major-
ity. Is follows that Starkey destroyed
40 of Redfie1d’s votes, and put in. 36 for
himself. A bolder and more shameless
case of scoundrelism has never happened
in the State.
It is due to the Democracy of Essex,
to say that they are foremost in exposing
the fraud, and demanding the instant ex-
clusion of Starkey from the House, and
his punishment to the full extent of the
law.—Ha.7't. P7'e.s's. ’

THE Rs:sroNsIBILirr.—The Washing,-
ton States plainly sets forth the issue be-
tween the Senate aud the House of Rep-
reseutatives, on the Kansas bill, and
shows where the responsibility lies, thus:
“ The Senate bill dictates terms to a por-
tion of the United States. The House
bill but recognizes the rights which every
State enjoys. The Senate bill accepts,
after altering the Southern clause in the
Lecompton Constitution. The House
bill admits Kansas, and refers the instru-
ment untouched to the people. The Sen-
ate bill illegally perpetrates a-cheat on
the South, and humbugs the North.-
'l‘he House bill honestly gives the whole
thing, Southern clause and all to the will
of the people. The awful responsibility
of making a precedent for changing con-
stitutions rests upon the Senate. By the
same right they would alter the Constitu-
tion of the United States, and let in. the
Furies upon our beautiful country.”
Q»-t
Contested Seats in the Legislature.
The seat of the member from Darien
is to be contested because, on the first
ballot, when a tie was declared, the Mod-
erator wrongfully rejected the votes of
several Republicans. The seat of the
Essex member is to be contested, on the
charge, of ballot stufiing counting: The
seat of Samuel Stamley, of New Britain
is to be contested,- on the ground that his
opponent received a plurality of the legal
votes. All these gentlemen whose -seats
are threatened, are Administration men.

The Atlantic Telegraph,
The United States steam frigate Niag-
ara has arrived at Plymouth. The ves-
sel is to take part in the laying down of
the Atlantic telegraph cable ; an event
which is to take place as early in June
as the necessary preparations will admit
of. H. M. ship Agamcmnon is already
in her position in the Keyham steam ba-
isiu and the coiling of 50 miles of the ca
ble on her upper deck has thus far been
accomplished. The Niagara will be laid
in dock nearly along side of the abandon-
ed powder magazine at Keyham, the use
of the magazine having been granted to
the Atlantic Telegraph Company ever
since last August, when the accident to
the cable occurred. The new issue of
capital authorized at the meeting of share-
holders on the 18th ult., has been taken
up to a considerable extent by the exist-
ing holders ; and we understand that
sufficient funds have been provided to
pay for the additional length of three
hundred miles of cable, ‘which the direct-
ors in their report considered desirable to
take to sea this year. This additional
three hundred miles will make the total
length to be taken out for this year’s op-
eratious, 2,865 miles. It is hoped, how-
ever, that if the weather be favorable, a
large portion of the provision for “ slack”
will be saved.~—Lo'ndmI l\Tc‘ws, 24th ult.

that a. barn and shed in the rear of town
& Brothers’ extensive Rolling Mill near
the depot in I-Vaterbury, was discovered
to be on fire about 10 o’clock on Sunday
morning. Before the engines reached
the spot the persons assembled pulled
down the barn so far as to prevent the
,flames spreading to the factory, and thus
saved it from destruction. The fire was
undoubtedly the work of an incendiary.

Burning of a Family.
A terrible calamity occurred at the
residence of D. Comstock, in Watertown
N. Y., on Sunday night, resulting in .the
destruction of an entire family save the
mother, who was absent, by fire. It is
supposed that the fire originated in akeg
of ashes laced in ‘a woodhouse adjoining
the dwel ing, and cornmuuicated with‘-the
house near a bedroom ocnpied by’ the
four children of Mr. C. The children
aroused from their slumbers by the smoke
and flames, frantically rushed in different
directions in their efforts to escape: while
it is said that the unnatural father, think-
ing more of his money than his children
although he could in all probability have
saved them oy opening the bedroom win:
dow, ran up stairs after his box of valua-
bles. His blackened bones were found
after the fire lying across his box in the
collar, wither he had fallen with it. Im-
prisoned by the flames theeliildren all

once visited them and has not been dazzled
by the magnificent splendor of the beautiful-
ly gilded walls, frescoed ceiling , georgeous
mirrors, and luxurious couches ; or, who that
has ever enjoyed the delicious confections
there served, and has not pronouoed it the
most splendid saloon in the world.
But it is not of the Saloon we would now
speak particularly. We wish to say some-
thing of the International Hotel in the same

them. The International Hotel,,thou b not
quite so well known as Taylor’s Sa oon is,
nevertheless, as splendid in its appointments
Did our space allow we would like to go into

we will content ourselves with dwelling on
the deligtful reminisences of the few days we
enjoyed life when stopping there, and refer
our readers to the advertisements of Mr. Al-

the advantages which families and gentle-

Dietetic Saleratus.
HE purest ever made, and steadily com-
ing into use. Thousands of families have
adopted it as an article of real merit and im-
portance to health, and justly, too ; for its su-
periority "over all other kinds of Saleratus
and Soda, in preparing bread, biscuit, cake,
and everything in that line, is at once percep-
tible from the light, rich and n}_1tritio'us ro-
ducts. Almost all other kinds of Saleratus
contain strong alkaline properties, which _d_e-
stroy the digestive organs, resulting in dys-
pepsia and numerous other complaints. The
constitutions 0 children are not only ruined
by their use, but thousands of them meet pre-
mature death from infantile diseases, which in
t'ormer years where manageable even without
medical aid-. The teeth are destroyed early
in life—they decay and crumble, not like soap
bones that have been boiled in ley. Surely
we have evidence enough these points, which
are also atiirmed by the medical facutty.——
Hence, let ev_ery prudent housekeeper-ask the
grocer for P YLE’S Dietetic Saleratus, which
is as harmless to t a stomach as flour itself,
and will make the our go an eighth farther.
No doubt but that to get rid of his old stock
he will run it down, but be not satisfied with
any other, he will soon get it for you. Look

Proposed Course of Lectures.
ONE LECTURE FREE.
THE undersigned would respectfully inform
the Ladies and Gentlemen of this village
and vicinity that he is stopping here with a
view of opcniiig a Course of Lectures, chiefly
in Chemistry. He has a well selected appa-
ratus with him for illustrating his subjects
with experiments. The Lectures have been
got up with a great deal of care, and particu-
laily with a view of laying a foundation in
the minds of those who attend. for Chemical
reading or study. Those who have been con-
versant with Chemistry will, it is believed.
find it not altogether a lost hour to come and
refresh up old ideas, while at the same time
they may catch new ones as this is a very
progressive science. Among the articles of
apparatus, is the Little Furnace, about the
size ofa pin, called the compound blow pipe,
small, yet producing the most amazing heat,
burning at once Iron and Steel. and melting
down substances thaf can be melted in no
other way ; and this too with the elements of
water; also the Celebrated Drummond
Light, eclipsing lamps and gas, and actually
bewildering the eye; together with a Solar
Microscope. magnifying more than 30 mil-
lions of times, and showing the process of
crystalization, the sap-pores in vegetables,
and even the swarms of otherwise invisible
animal life in a drop of liquid. The Lectures
are illustrated with experiments throughout ;
and are delivered in plain language, always
necessary before a mixed audience.
The course will be commenced as soon as
the requisite number of tioketsare subscribed
for. The citizens are already taking tickets
and those who wish to join them will find a
Subscription Book at the Bookstore of A. H.
Camp, Esq., where they are respectfully solic-
lied to enter their names. Price of Tickets
for the Course of eight Lectures, $1 50 ; tick-
ets taken for three in one family entitle the
rest of the family to be admittedjrec. A de-
duction made to companies of 10 or more.
gun Introductory Lecture will be given
on Tuesday evening. April 20, at Phoenix
Hall, commencing at 75 o’clock ; admission
FREE ; all are respectfully invited to attend.

“ Too much of Water has’t
thou poor Ophelia!”
HIS advice is undoubtedly intended for
those who persist in letting the water
pour in a deluge from the roofs of their houses
upon their own, as well as the heads of-their
unprotected neighbors, when one of those
splendid Tin-gutters at Locxwoon/‘s would
amply pay for itself in one year by directing
the water in its proper channel thus protecting
the building from the decaying element.
N. B.—Conductors to carry water from the
building to the cess-pool. .
Pumps that will raise water from the deep-
est wells to the garret. Hyllraulic Rams that
will make water run up stream or up hill from
50 to 500 feet, as the case may re uire. —
Stores and Ranges to keep water hot.—Re-
frigerators and Coolers to keep water cool-
in f'act everything that the hot-water or the
cold-water man may desire, alwa s on
