Rejoicings at Westport.
The Republicans of Westport, finding that the “ Glo-

by the Gmnbaswas not likely, to come off, and that the
pyrotechnical display provided for before election. ‘W5

In the Superior Court, last wcck,tb_eG1'and

the State Prison for life or not less thaii ten
years, and for the offence "charged iii the fifth
count imprisonment in the State Prison for
not exceeding fivc yebrs.
The investigation before the Grand Jury
was very full, lasting three days. No attor-
ney for tlieprosecution is allowed to be pres-
ent before the Grand Jury, while the prisoner
is permitted to be present and cross-cxaminc
as wasfldonc in the present case. After the
indictment was found, the attorney for the
state moved for additional bail, on the ground
that one of the bondsmcn was insufficient for
the am cunt for which he was suret._v. This
was resisted by llfessrs.Hawley and Chapman
counsel for the prisoner, and considerable
time was set apart for the examination of wit-
nesses und arguments ofCo1111sel. The Court
held the bail insufficient and ordered the pris-
loner to be taken into custody, and remand-
ed to jail. The bail required is still fixed at
$5000. The counsel for thcfprisoner moved for
a continuance of the cause to the A11S“5'*
term of the Court, on the ground that the
f’atl1e1' of the prisoner, who is clflllnell W 139
an important witness i11 his behalf, was sick
and unable to attend court. Affidavits ‘to
this effect were brought 11110 COUPE, upon
which the case was contllmed . . .
P. S.—We learn that Mr. Brigham has s11c-
ceeded in rendering his bonds acceptable to
the Court, and is again at liberty.

The Sickles Case.
On Tuesday, after proceedings reported h_v_telc'gr:1pl1_,
Robert J. Walker testified chiefly to .\lr. Sickles’ extreme
agitation--liisvirtual ins:1nit_v, under the disclosures
made to l1i,1_n. Bridget Dull)‘, servant, then testified to
llrs. Sicklcs’ signature to her confession, which was
produced and read. She acknowledges that an improp-
er iutimacy between herself and .\lr. Key commenced
in April or May I858, and was renewed when .\lr. Sickle:
returned to Washington last winter. Shc lxasoftcu vis-
ted the house in Fifteenth street for improper pifrposcs,
and last on Wednesday. Feb 23d, 1859, (four days be-
fore the murder). The following poslscri pt is append-
ed : , . '
P. S.—“ This is a true statement, written by myself,
without any inducement held out by .\lr. Sicklcs ol'fu1‘-
giveness or reward, and without any menace from him.
This-I have written with m ' be_droom door open, and
my'n1:1i1l and child in the adj<_:ini11g room, at S 1-2
o’cock in the evening. Miss Rldgcly is in the house,
within call. , _ - 'll£Rl-QSA BAGIULI.”
The full “ Confession” itself is too disgusting to be
laid before any .respcc_.table body of readers and we do
‘not publish it. ’ Our course, we are aware is different
from most of our Cotemporuries, yct while we assume
no “superior virtue” we think no parent of ordi11:1ry
sensibility would be pleased to have the loatliesome
thing thrust before his gr her children, through the
medium oflhe family newspaper. Yet wlioevcr docs
read that damning record of infamy signed by .\lrs.
Sickles, as it is, wffl find the conviction forced upon the
mind that the pos£sc7'1'pt, at least, is as false as any act
ofher life. That it was all cooly ]1rq1a1»."d for that
wretched wonian’s si-_.:nai.urc, is only fno :1pparo11t from
its face. And who can but pity the moral deg rntlntion
ofa man who could exact such a'sl)an1oful l111mili.'1tion,
from :1 women who had Lorne the relation of wife to
him and was the mother of his cl1ild—-and then tiirust
it before the public,-even for the purpose of saving
his own neck from the halter.
The prosecution objected to the admission of the
confe.-:s_ion.
The defense offer the paper p1‘incipall_v on the ground
that it was the moving cause oftllcir client‘s tempora-
yy insanity. In answer to this, the prosecution argue
that they cannot prove the cause, but only the fact.
Fire in Ridgefield.
RIDGEI-‘IELD, April 14(1), 1859.
Mnssns. Enrrons :—Quitc :1 calamity befcl
our village last night. The Candlestick
Factdsy of Mr. J. W. Rockwell was burnt
with all.ifs contciits. All his stock, Machine-
ry, and Manufactured goods on hand were
dcstroycd. His loss is estimated at $5,000,
or more. ‘He was insured for $3,000. The
building, which was owned by Dr. Perry, was
insured for $500. This will go far towards
covering his loss. Besides this, Mr. Rock-
well will suffcr :1 serious interruption of his
business, and some twenty or more lninds, in
his cmply,\vill be scrioualy incominodcd.
Except for the rain which had p1'cva.iicd
through the day,a11d the stillness of the night
a large dwelling house on the no l1_.au1l1l1e
llon J. I. King’s mansion on the south of the
facfsory would have been in very great peril .
As it was, the burning brands and coals fell
like snow flakes, on Mr K’s barn a11d ouf.l1ou-
ses, and required very 1nucl1 exertion to
extinguish them. And if his house l1:1.. bur-
ned, others mnst°l1ave gone with it. We may
therefore rejoice, that we are no W01“.-.0 off‘
than we are. . *

Tllél Ilriortam Case at Washington.
All Cliristendom yet rcsounds with the
appeal of the Jew of Bolognzi. for his kid-
napped son. If Europe sliull be kindlctl
into :1 general war, no small clcnicnt of
masses toward the papacy, stirred ancw
by this outrage upon the family rcl-.1t.io11 _;
in the case of Morta1'11. For wliilc this
is but one ofa l.ll0llSLlll(l petty crucllics
perpetrated by the Papal Gove1'11111_ent, it
shows that the spirit of the iuqlnslllon
yet lives, and this incident has beeniniidc
to concentrate the agitated feelings of the
masses upo11 the concrete fact that the
Papacy is :1 fearful tyranny over every
man’s household, ready to‘ trample at any
moment upon the dearest rights of nature,
the fondest pledges. of affection. W hen
this case was itrgedupon the attention of
Mr. Secretary Cass, he assured his Jew-
ish fellow-citizeus of his personal sympa-
thy, and tliat; cf the government, but de-
clincd to iiitcrfere solely upon the ground
of11ou-intcrventioii in the afl'11i1's offoreign

pondent of the Post, under date of M-.11-cl1
29th :
“ There was :1 singular slave case iii the
Criminal Court, yesterday. ' A free colored
man was tried before ajury for b,z11'borlng his
own son. A couple of months since the offend-
er was brought before a commonjustice on the
above charge and a bail of $2,000 \vas1'eq1i1'ed
and it. was given. The colored n1-.111 has :1
wife who is a slave, and one by one his chil-
drenhave been snatchedfrom him at we age
often years, and sold off. The f‘-.1tl1cr keeps a
house, to which his wife comes on Saturday
nights, spending her Sundays at liome. Ilcr
master has been very glad to make use of the
l:1ther~'s affection for the children to get them
fed and housed till they were of :1 suitable age
for selling, but he has always pounced upon
each at a certain age, and sold them off with-
out allowing tlic parent :1. dollar for his trou-
ble. In the present case the boy run back
home, and the father did not turn him out of
doors. For that offence :1 Washington jury
has brougnt him in guilty of harboring slaves
and his punishment will be scverc.”
Ncitlicr the Mortara case not that of
tlie Ncapolitiun exiles, just released from
their long and cruel imprisonment, can
show such refinement of cruelty as this.
The most sacred affections of na111re—-tl1e
hallowed institution of m:111'iage——arc
used for the purpose of raising chattels
for the market, the wife of :1 free man is
‘permitted at intervals to enjoy her hus-
bnc(l’s society, in order that the offspring
of their S:lCl‘(:(l weddccblovc may be sc-
curcd for the service of' another ; the
mother being held as a chattel, her chil-
dren are doomed to tl_1e same fate ; child
tiller child are bornin’ the f-.1tl1er’s house,
and suffered to 1‘em:1in'tl1erc as an object
of parental love, to be inaintaincd and
educated at the fathci-‘s cxpciisc ; then
just at the monicnt wlicn the child begins
to be serviccab__le, and when the licai-ts of
the parents have become \\’l't1ppC(l up in
its welfare, the n10tl;er"s owner steps in
to seize her offspring just as be would
take a calf from his cow, and when this
kidnapping of :1 frcem:1n’s chil(l1'cn'l1as
been many times repeated, and the f11tl1'c1‘
vcntuies to°1'ctai11'l1is own boy 1111dc1‘* his
own roof, he is arrested, condemned and
imprisoned, fo1'l1arbo1'ing :1. fugitive slave.

A New Liquor Law‘.
IlIi£E.°.RS. Emrons on THE GA’/.l~‘.'l‘TFI :—
I take plczisuro in l1a11(li11,I;.yo11 :1 plan for
:1 new “Liquor Law,” drawn up by Rev.
D1‘. Ilcwitt of Bri1l;.§eport. A whole
generation has passed away, since this
"old 1111111 eloquent-,-"(who has, not lllft‘ll(.'-
ituonsly, been tcrincd the Apostle of Tem-
perance,)clectrific(l the cliurclics :1nd.1niu-
istcrs of Fairfield County by his bold and
heart stirring sermons on ,Inte1npc1':1ncc.
After an early devotion of himself to this
great reform, first as a pastor and minis-
ter, afterwards as the agent of the Amer-
ican Tcmpersince Society, Editor of a
’I‘cmpc1'ance Organ, and Foreign Ambus-
sador and Representative of Tetnpcrancc
in Europe, he has looked on, not. as {In
uninterested observer, but as an anxious
frictid, while one‘ scheme after anotlier,
and one law after auotlier, has been tried
and fulfilled its mission, and become’ in-
operative; and now, in the l‘lp8ll0.~‘S of
his yc:11's,cxperience and wisdom,he comes
once more to the rescue.
Lot no friend of the cause be prccipi-_
fate in his judgment of this plan. If
the experiments in Legis‘l11tio11b11 this
snbject,.th1'_o11gl1 a whole cycle of years
aml efforts, have dcnfonstratcdi that :1
law of entire pro/cibitioiz. cannot yet be
generally cnactcd,'o1' if enacted cannot
be cnforced——Ihat. the public mind is not
yet'elev:1tcd into a readiness to snsfain
such a law,——t'uen let us be willing to ac-
cept of the next best law, icmcinberiug
that “half a Ioafis better than no bread.”
For how many would this law give m(m_t/
lfim‘cs, who have now no ‘bread? B.
Bmnorzponr, January 15, 1859.
To P1-:Ti:_1z Coorsn, Eso. :
D1211: Sm—'lt was only :1 few days ago
that I,‘ for the first timc,k11ew of the pro-
prsal of M1‘. Be1'11a1'd,'I believe that is
his name. of Boston, to gife :1 premium
of $1,000 for the draft ofa license law
which should be approved by Gov, Cm‘.
ford, yourself and another gentleman
whose n11mc_l1as escaped inc. A number
of papers were sent in, about forty. and
not one of them was approved. Had I
known of the proposition of Mr. B., I
might have attempted to make a draft
likewise. I am the more encouraged to
submit :1 plan to you, now that all have
failed, because there will be :1 preparation
to listen to one which is altogetlier new,
yet. composed of well known and long
tried principles.
I will first advert to the end ‘in view
by all recent legislation about the manu-
fzxcturc, sale and consumption of spiritu-
ous liquors. It is not for the purpose of
L'llCOlll'ug,'ell]eIlt as a b1‘.1ncl1 of industry or
a source of revenue. The public mind is
m':11lc 11p to the coiitmry, and the use of
these liqnors with its cousequcnces.is all
but1111a11i1uously 1'ega1'ded as upon the
W-ll0lC, the one yrcat calaunity of our age
and country. '1‘l1em:1jority of the free-
men of your State, have already again
11nd again at the ballot. box, published to
the the world their judgment on this case
——namely, we desire a legal and p1':1cti1:n-
blc intcrpositioii ofou1'govc1'nn1e11t to re-
move this sumaiid comprehension of our
’ social guilt and misery.
If now any of the long tried and well
known modes ofregulating the conduct of
individuals as mcinbcrs of society and
.a111ena1ble to the State, can be brought to
bear on this case, so as to answer the
end i11 view, and that iii a. nianner in bar-
mony with our liabi-ts and principles as :1
free people, the problem is solved.
Wemnst first of all bear in mind, that
no man has a right to aiiylliiug riffccting
others without the consent of the parties
concerned, and in a civil state, no man
has :1 right to ntiyllxiiig affecting that
State, without its conscur, expressed or
iinplicd. The sale of liquors necessarily
implies purchasers and consuniers, and
conscquentlyno man is wronged iftliat sale
is either denied or subjected to the rules
by the parties concerned.
Agnlll, a necessary cle1nc'ntofp1'ac1ica-
blc and efficient legislutiozi is,tl1:1t prohibi-
tory law should as far as possible be de-
vi.-cd.so as to enforce themselves. Make
it for the interest of all concerned to exc-
cutc promptly and thoroughly :1 restrain-
ing law, and it will certainly be executed.
I may safely say that. any law contempla-
ting the general welfare, and yet opposed
to the interests of individuals will be but
indiffercntly executed, if left to be enfor-
ced by ofiiciitl duty only.
Do 11ot be starlletl, my dear Sir, at the
proposition of the following generic prin-
ciplcs of the law I offer for cousideratioii,
viz: Plan :1. license law which will make
it for tl1cintc1'est.botl1 of the parties li-
censed, and the state to execute it thor-
ougl1l_v,:1nd then it willbe effective. Un-
dcr this law, abridge the sale u11d cou-
stitiiptionof liquors as far as this be done
and have it vitality and po'.ve1'. I here
assume that a legal prohibition of the sale
of llll0.\'lf.':l.llllg liquors absolutely, cannot
be enforced. I will not argue the ques-
tion. W'l1cn the Maine Law was first
proposed, I had no doubt it would prove
a failure- The eiithiisiasiiioftlie lll0lllCl)l’.
gave it power. But the enthusiasm
whiclifrcquires the iiiortificution of appe-
. tile and avarice 011 the part of the whole
population ol' :1 c ty, state or nation with
. nothing to gain__by it, except a good con-
science on the part oftlic individual and
tl1cs~.1l11tary fruits of sobriety in eating
and clrinkir.-g, can last but a short time in
fact, and not incl: longer in appeamticc.
With tl’lCSdvl)Sel‘V£tll0llS in view, I pro-
cccd, and will state the frame of a law,
leaving it to be completed, if it is adopt-
cd.
I.- Divide the State info districts of
f1'1.n1 . — to -—-———— tlionsnnd i11l1abi-
tants, according to the density of the
p0pul:1ti0n.- -
2. License one man to each district,
and give him the exclusive right of sel-
ling ‘all liquors dcnoininated spirituzaus
or intoxicating, both fermented and dis-
uiua. 2 . _ ‘ .
3. Sell this right to the liiglicst bidder

erysipelas ; others called it malignant
sore throat, and others inaligmuit pus-

It would seem to have been a case in

which so suddenly removed the Rev. 311'.

lziborious perseverance connected with
the late election, is worthy of reecord.--
Thc Rev. Mr. Dickinson, who officiates
in the Methodist Church at Georgetown,
in the Eastern nmrgin of Redding, spent
the last Subbatli in New York, intending
to return in season to vote in the town
of R1.-dding on Monday. Acco1°d1n,r_rly,
he arrived at Norwalk in the inoriiing
train, i11te11(li11g to rcucli Georgetown by
the cars for Da.nb1n‘y ; but vtllilst lie
was too long dcL:1incd in conversation
with friends at Norwalk, the locomotive
started off and left‘. .\I1'..I). behind. His
friends at Georgetown, who expected to
convey him some miles to the place of vot-
ing in l{c(l'.'llng, were disappointed at his
non-a1'rivul, and gavc up his intended vote
for I5‘er1'y as lost ; but not so Mr. D.——
He believed in pe1'seve1'cnce to the end.
He put furwzird on foot, hoping to catch
a ride now and tl1en—but as he trudged
-1l0ng,l1c found that every horse and wag-
on had gone to election before him.-
Sufiice to say, that at about 4 o'clock in
the af'te1’noon, his fiends at the polls cs-
pied Mr. D. in-.1king towards them sweat-

3%“ A singular disease has recently
broken out in the town of O1'a11gc, i11 this
State,w|1icl1 baffles the skill of the M. D's.
The N. H. Palladioin says : "‘ it l1z1s_al-
ready) caused the dcatli of eight persons,
and two others are beyond hope of recov-
crcy, if indeed they have not flied to-clay.
Drs. Chas. Hooker, Ives and Kniglit of
N. II, and Daggct Dc:11'ds|cy and Dut-
ton of .\lilf'o1'1l, have bcen called and say
that they have never seen 21n_v_tl1ing of
the sort, and do not know what. to call
the disease, and are utterly at loss to
know what treaitmcnt should be adopted.
The attzick cominenccs with sore throzit
which soo1:~assun1cs :1. forni of most ma-
lignant ulceration, and fiu:1lly the throat
swells tiiiaccountnbly and the sufferer
dies.
The pliysicimis say the disease is 11ot
like the ord':11:1ry ulcerated sore tliroat,
nor like the “ black tongue,” but exhibits
features different from any other disease
on record. Nearly all that have been to-
kcn thus far have died, and in some cases
its prog1'cssisfca1*fully rupi(l,tl1o11gl1 death
is usually delayed from a week to two
weeks after the first seizure. Most of
those who have been attacked thus far
have been cl1il.l1'en, and the full 1n:1ligni-
ty of the disease is not exliibited in the
case of adults.”
