The Legislature.
The session of the Legislature will undoubt-
edly be brought to a close on Wednesday,or
Thursday at the. farthercst, of the present
week. It is no fault of the Republican side
of the House that the session was not ended
’on Wednesdaylast in accordance with the
previous vote. The public business has been
advanced with as much rapidity, perhaps, as
is consonant with ajudicious regard for the
best‘interests of the State. The Republican
leaders of both branches of the Legislature
have persistently set their faces against the
waste of time inirreverent discussions. There
has beeu‘_.no_ ; talking against time, on their
part, and it is due to many on the Democratic
'side to 'say that they have also been actuated

' ‘ ‘The Steamboat Wat
Reges'with unabated order, but unfortunate-
ly for .the'encouragement of the new comer
’upou'th’e route, the patronage all goes one
way.” There is no particular feeling of h05-
tility to 'the Cal(a)line, but rather one of
commisseration for the infatuation cf the men
who can be so blind to the public manifesta-
tions of preferencc'as to run an empty Boat
to and from our docks at a loss of not leesthan
fifty dollars per day. Mr. Peck may be a very
gentlemauly man, and we certainly have no
reason to suppose him otherwise, but he is
engaged in a, most unpromising enterprise,
and that too, as we have .repeatedly assured
him, without the possibility of effecting any
change in the present partialities of the pub-
lic. Of course it is for our pecuniary inter-
est to have him- remain upon the route and
advertise his boat-in our columns, and in this
view our advice ought to be taken as sincere
and disinterested. 'We confess "to a sort of
enjoyment of the excitement thus kept up.
A Steamboat moving gracefully through the'
watersof our harbor, is “ a thing of beauty,”
equal indeed to a 4th of July display of fire-
works, and: we may reasonably suppose her
owners have more money than they know
what to do with, and upon the whole we don’t
know but we should rather regret to part
with the enjoyment of witnessing her arrival
and departure, even if she does come and go
empty. _ The owners of the Confidence cer-
tainly ought not to complain, as the Cataline
is doing a work of advertising for them, gra-
tuitiou’sly, 'which could not otherwise be
accomplished except at a heavy cost of print-
er’s ink. We regret to see that the owners of ,
the Confidence have put the‘fare down. We
believe the public, knowing that fifty cents.
is as low as they can or ought to convey
passengers, are fully willing to pay that price.
Capt; Greene undoubtedly understands his
own business best, and we have no disposition
to dictate its management. We presume'but
few of those able to pay will take advantage
of the reduction, so strong is the public feeling
in behalf of the'support of his boat.

M“ The President and his friends at Wash-

taking less beligerent grounds now that they
find .the Republican Congressmen willing and
anxious to demand from all foreign powers a
full recognition and respect of the rights of
American citizens under all circumstances.
The difference .between the opposition and
thfi administration is that the latter wishes
on y to bully the weak powers of Central and
Southern America, while the former insist
that the same promptness and firmness shall
be shown in resisting the impndcnce of Great
Britain, as the discourtesies of the imbecile
nations of our own continent.

The Wm. F. Burden.
This fine schooner made her tri al trip 0?
Eriday last,(June 4th) leaving her dock South
Norwalk at 8 A. M., and after sailing up and
down the Sound from above Westport to near
Greenwich and across to Huntington Light-
house on Long Island, returned about 5 in the
evening. Some 2‘20 were on board, invited
guests. At an early hour Geo.G. Bishop, Esq.,
was chosen chirman for the day, and Rev. W.
C. Ulyat secretai y, a committee on resolutions
was also appointed, consisting of Rev. D.
Platt, Rev. D. R. Austin, and the secretary.
Several resolutions were offered, and follow-
ed with speeches,-—nct set and formal but
pithy and, adapted,—-from Rev. D. Platt,Rev.
J. J.Woolsey, Rev D. R. Austin,J. Ferris,
Esq., and Captain W. H. Ferris. In these res-
olutions, the Captain, who with his brother,
’ a
J. Ferris, Esq., is joint owner of the vessel:.
the Captain’s wife and their sons werepromi—
nent. Thanks for thelrliberality and atten-
tions in" providing the sail, and making it an
occasion of delight, ivere tendered'and accpm-
panied with many good wishes. Neither were
the builders of the boat, Messrs.~_Richards 8;
Bell, who have established a ship yard in Nor-
walk, forgotten. Admiration at their work,
and hopes that their skill and enterprise might
find fitting encouragement among our citize‘ns,.
and an ample reivurd were expressed. Wln‘.‘
F. Burden ESq., of Troy,N. Y., inventor of the
Patent Railroad Spike, and Patent Horse
Shoe, one of which is made every secOud by
a solitary blow,——-after whom the vessel is
named, and whopresented her with her val u-
able set of colors was also remembered and
warmly cheered. Our pet steamer the.“ Con-
fidence” With her Captain , Who had generous?
ly towed us out of the harbor, received three
times three cheers and earnest desires were
expressed that the citizens of Norwalk would
'make her, by their unwaveringipatronage tri-
umphant over all opposition, as the establish-
ed line of steam travel by water toaud from
New York. Other resolutions were likewise
passed,-one complimentary to the sail makers
of Bridgeport,another to the musicians,and of
course one to the ladies. But we cannot find
in our recollection that anybody so remember-
ed Chairman, Secretary, Speakers, and Print-
er. However, taking it for granted it was
intended in the hearts of all, we here make
our respectful bow. A choir of singers, male
and female, under the direction of that well
known amateur, Mr.Merriam, discoursed cap-
ital music throughout the day. The ladies
spread well loaded tables. for rcfrcshments,.in
the hold, and after prayer by Rev. A.B. Col-
lins all did eat and were filled, while the has-
kets of fragments were enough to feed the
same company through out the remainder of
the week and a little over into next week.-—-'
Wind, tide and weather were all propitious,
and June scenery of harbor,islands and coasts,
which by the way were the subjects of a reso-
lutiou and speech,combined with the sea view,
were enchanting. The company on,board
though numerous, were select and of course,
orderly. .All seemed to enjoy the occasion,
and returned to their homes, at a season able
hour, pleased with themselves, pleased with
one another, and pleased with all creation.-’-—
The Wm. F . Burden is 200 tons burden, con-
structed at a cost of something over $11,000,

Troy and Baltimore. May success attend her
and all concerned in her, and may we soon
have the opportunity ofspending another such
day as Friday last, if not on the W. H. Bur-
den, yet ou some, equally noble craft built by
our friends, Messrs. Richards &. Bell ,and rig-
ged and commanded as well as she is. Noth-
ing occurred to mar the pleasures of the day,
save the loss of two or three hats ; nor could
mere be desired to contibnte to the happiness
of all on board, except the presence of a few
invited friends, who were unable to be with
us. The craters will excuse the secretary for
not reporting their speeches, but he would as-
sure the public in general, if his asseveration
is worth a groat, that if they had only heard
the “ feast of reason and flow of soul" which
these excellent gentlemen gave vent unto, it
would have tickled them enough to serve
them till the middle of next winter. Farewell
Captain Ferris, and success to you, and “ Hail
Columbia.” *

mentary invitation to participate in the excursion, and
‘we confess we were sorely tempted to turn our bucks,
for once, upon our constituents, and forsake the Halls
of Legislation for the deck of the W. F'. Burden, but our
conscientious regard for the interests of the “ dear peo.
ple,” triumphed over our personal preferences, of
course, and we had to leave to others, the enjoyments
of the delightful excursion so graphically described

, Serenade.
We learn that the Excursion Band of
the Steamer Cataliue favored the Edit-
or’s ancient Castle, with a serenade, on
Friday night last. Our “ biddy” who, by
the way, has a very large ear for music,
says the playing of the band was “ ilic-
gout,” and after they’d been blowing till
she knew they were tired, very consider-
ately informed them that the “ master
and missus was’nt in.” It, won’t do for
the common “ help” about town to speak
to our girl after this serenade.
MR. EDIrOR :—As the people of N or-
walk have a much greater interest at
stake than they are aware of, in sustain-
ing the steamer Confidence upon this
route, I-would propose, in case it becomes
necessary, that a purse of $500 be made
up by the friends of Capt. Greene to sus~
tam him in his contest with the Railroad
Boat. I will cheerfully become one of
one hundred gentlemen to make up such
a purse, and from what I know of the
popular feeling I am satisfied the other
ninety-nine subscribers can ensilv be. ob-
talned. Yours for the public gbOd.

Mr. Graves considered the proposition 9.
step in advance of the present rotten system
andihoped resolution would pass.
Mr. Drake thought the provisions of the res-
olutions did not meet the whole difficulty but
did not think it practical to do better at pres-
net. The proposed action would save $10,:
000 annually to the State.
Mr. Hoyt said that representation ought to
be proportioned to population, and moved an
amendment that towns having over 7000 pop-
ulation should have two representatives.
Mr. Talmadgc opposed the amendment.
Mr. Graves hoped the amendment would be
rejected. The large towns have already a
sufiicient influence in ”re House. Hartford,
New Haven and other large towns, always
sent- their best mcu. Besides the sessions of
the Assembly are held in these large places,
and the outside lobby influences to say noth-
ing about the deductive soirees and straw-
berry parties weighed heavily in the balance.
Further debate was had by Messrs. Holland
Smith of Windsor, when resolution was adOpt-
ed 150 to 15.
Same Committee reported Resolution stri-
king out word “ white” from Constitution.—
.Mr. Hotchkiss said there was no good reason
why“ colored population” should not be con-
sidered equal in this respect to their white
bretheren. Other New England States had
taken that position.
Mr. Hubbard said that while the contest
raged on some subjects, there was one on
which we could all agree—that of the rights
of the fair sex. He moved to amend by ex-
tending right of suffrage to women.
The vote was taken on Mr. Hubbard’s
amendment and lost—127 to 82,
Mr. Brandegee moved the previous ques-
tion.

m In the discussion in the
Representatives, on Thursday upon the army
bill, Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, drew a rather
damaging picture fo.the present administra-
'tiou, of the present conditon of our national
finances. He said that the expenditures for
fiscal year exceeded the revenue thirty-seven
millions, and for next year would exceed the
revenue forty-three millions, or over eighty
millions in two years. The twenty millions
of treas .ry notes and the balance of seventeen
millionsin the treasury in July last are ex-
hausted. The financial results ofthe first two
years of this administration would be an empty
treasury and a permanent debt of sixty-four
millions. While the population hasiucreased
since 1790 seven fold,expenditures have in-
creased-forty eight. From forty cents an in-
habitant. it is now three dollars, or thirty
dollars, for each family and twenty-three
for each voter, When the comparison is
carried into details it is found that the great
proportion of the increase is in contingen-
cies, miscellaneous, incidentals, and by an
army of useless officers. The miscellane-
ous expenses have arisen since witch-om two
and a half millions to nineteen mllIIODS, 130‘“
cring amultitude of jobs
and contracts, In-
stead of propoeing means of retrenchment and
reform, they demand loans and-Treasury notes

position to
