.4 HARD FOUGHT BATTLE AND .1
01301216173 RESULT!
We are able to give this morning the de‘
tails of the Republican victory on Monday.
In spite of all opposition, all falsehoods, all
expenditures ofmoney, all the efforts of de-
traction and treason, we have swept the state.
Never did personal date-action, slander: and
lies enter so highly into any. canvass. Had
our candidate _for Congress and Senator in
this District, been charged with highway
robbery and murder, it would not have ex-
ceeded in absurdity many of the slanders
against personal character secretly circulated
to influence votes. The sympathizers w_ith
treason labored with a perfectly fiendish ma-
lignity and desperation. But of this we shall
speak hereafter. Capital was frightened and
endeavored to control labor. Men’s avarice
and cupidity were appealed to in every shape.
In view of all the appliances of fntims'datzbn,
coercion and slander which have been prac-
ticed, we have fought a grand fight and
achieved a’glorious Victory ! In spite of all
Connecticut has done gloriously. Sun as.-

An alarm oi‘iire was sounded through the
village on Saturday night, caused by the
burning of the Horse-sheds of the Episcopal
Church. It was undoubtedly our first vim-en-
dt'oryfire, and the object, it is very evident,
was to break up the political meetings
which were convened here. In this initia-
tion of the torch terror, may be traced anoth'
er argument in favor of less frequent popu-

better luck‘ of winning the. glittering prize of
the Belgium Mission. Of all the men the
administration has sent abroad, probably
none will exceed him on the more score of
being qualified; he having been attached. to

Republicans of our ever hotly contested little
State would feels much greater gratification
in his selection, however. were it not for the
fact that he dined and tamed and supplt‘cated

similar appointment, with the most open

The Republicans have nobly contested
No base ap
peals havebeen made to the prejudices or
passions of the people, but by calm argu-
ments and honest statements of their posi-
tion, have they gone into the contest. At
Bridgeport We have-had the noble and elo-
quent Representative from the Orange and
Sulliyan District of N. Y., himself a martyr
to independent action and free speech;
Woodford has also added the weight of his
electric eloquence,'~ while our owu represen-
tative gave them a full, fair and manly state-
ment of his stewardship, 'in words which
quickened the pulse and thrilled the heart.—
Yet Bridgeport has gone stronger than ever
before for secession democracy. Here in
Norwalk, Mr. Ferry, Northrop, Raymond,
Woodford, Babcock and French, have made
their appeals, and upon the _most desperate
canvass ever yet made in our town, Nor-
walk is only able to sustain her own son, by
some one hundred and [thirty majority,
when she could and should have made it an
even two hundred. But when We consider
the appliances brought to bear against him,
by his enemies, we are not surprised at the
result.

WWe hear from Washington of" great
excitement there over the appointment of
Mr. Henry S. Sanford as Minister to Belgi-

been achublican, and one gentleman in-
forms us that in the great contest of last
Spring in Connecticut, Mr. Sanford’s own
State, when the Republican party achieved
that signal victory which led the way to the
national triumph of November, Mr. Sanford
made no secret that his sympathies were
with the Pro-Slavery Democracy, and his
hopes for the overthrow of the Republicans.
—Now, is it not unlikely that this may be
so. We are well aware that the number‘of
a few months ago. But whether Mr. San-

Political Meetings.
The Democracy had Mr. Schnable to ad.
dress them at Ely’s Hall last week, and al-
though thc most outspoken and honest ora-
tor they havc had here, was hissed at for his
disunion sentiments. Saturday evening,
Messrs. James Brooks 'of‘ the N. Y. Express,
Mr. E. O. Perrin, Wm. D. Bishop, and James
H. Olmstead were billed to speak at Norwalk,
and the New Canaan Brass Band were to
discourse the music. A scoond bulletin an-
nounced Mr. Jas. T. Brady as speaker. We
learn that the speakers actually expected to
be present, however, were J. H. Olmstead
and Mr. Pawn, after he should have finished
his meeting at Westport. At all events
these were the speakers who made the best
use possible of a very bad cause and argu-
ment. The New Canaan Band seemed to
have afforded the principal entertainment of
the evening.

Obituary of Mrs. Betsy Day.
Thedecesse of an old resident of South Norwslk
Conn, Mrs. Betsey Day, the Widow of Rev.
Absalom Day, occurred at that place, Friday morn-
ing, March 29, 1891, in the eighty-fifth year of her
age. 1
The following few particulars respecting her life
may be interesting to those who knew her. She was
born at Soutthrwslk,‘ Conn., Oct. 95, 1776. When
a child she watched the burning of Norwalk by the
enemy, from the rocks west' ef the present M. E,
Church at Norwalk. Her entire life was spent at
South Norwalk, during which time she witnessed
the introduction guise steamboat, the rail car and
,telegraph. One 01' the unfortunate sufierers in the
Norwslk Draw Bridge catastrophe expired at her
house. She was married to Absalom Da y, Feb. 26,
1793. They opened their house for Methodist
preaching and for nearly half a century entertained
the preachers and their teaching companions. Their
children were eleven in number, of whom only four
are now living. After a prosperous union of fifty
years she was called to part with her husband, who
died May 6, 1843, in the 73d year of his age. She sus-
tained her loss with Christian resignation, during a
widowhood of eighteen years. She became scquint-
ed with experimental religion in a revival at White
Oak Shade, but never connected herself with the
Church. She wassn habitual reader of the Holy
Scriptures. and practiced secret prayer. She died of
lung feycr at her residence, after a severe ilness of
seven weeks. During her sufferings she was heard
to exclalm, “Oh! when shall I see Jesus 9" and re-
peated the verse, “Jesus, my all to Heaven is gone,“
She expressed the hope ofmeeting her husband in
Heaven. The body was carried on Sunday, March
31, into the M. 1!. Church, where an impromptu ser-
mon on the Resurrection was addressed by Rev. J.
J. Wooley to a crowded house of relstions and
friends. Thus lived and died Mrs. Betsey Day.

“Our College of philosophers at home, may, and

easy application, sure intheir results, and have the
confidence of the people. While the science of med-

Newsboys of New York and their
\Homes.
The most dangerous period in the life of
any one, is when past childhood and ap-
proaching manhood. Many a poor boy left
in early life i'ricndless, has drifted along,
hecdlcss of the man y breakers in the ocean
of life, and at last made fearful shipwreck.
Boys often come to the city in search of em-
ployment, only to meet with bitter disap-
pointment. The bright dreams of youth are
soon dissolved, and despair leads them to
engage in occupations which will afford tem-
porary employment and support. They
thus become untitled for business, and live
from hand to mouth. “Many of these boys
~camc from happy homes in the country, and
sadly miss a mother‘s tender care, and a
sister's love.
Everything is new to them, the glitter and
blustering activity of city life, charms them
fora season. Time wears on, and the boy
soon begins to feel weary, anxiously longs
for society and amusement. Being a stran-
ger and without friends, knowing little of
the world—ho is easily led from one fascina-
tion to another—at first his better nature
rebels, as he thinks of his mother, far away,
and he refuses to attend the theatre—but his
fears are soon dissipated, and he is persuaded
to attend only once—once rarely satisfies,
and the little one soon finds all his amuse-
ments in gambling dens and other places of
questionable resort. Step after step is taken,
and by degrees the once-happy youth he-
comes a poor miserable sot, and adept in
crime.
The poor boy: ofour city are to be pitied.
Many, of them are strangers there—others are
orphans——-and others have been ! oil' by
unfecling parents, with none to con el them
they are compelled to engage in whatever
pursuit their hands, find to do, in order to
keep soul and body together. Many 01' them
sleep in the market places—cellars, door-
ways-hay barges; or any place where they
may be able to rest their weary limbs. Du-
ring. the winter heretofore they hare suffered
greatly from want of proper clothing, and
sufficient food. Being-engaged in selling
papers, peddling, sweeping streets, and
blocking beets, their livelihood is very pre-
carious, and oftentimes their profits does not
afford them sufllcient for a living.
For the purpose of improving their con-
dition, the Newsboys’ Home was opened in
1854, at 128 .Fulton, where it has remained
ever since. It is doing a noble w0rk
amongst the poor, and on an average shelt-
ers an hundred otherwise homeless ones.—
The price of lodging is fixed at four cents,
for whichthey receive‘a nice clever comfort-
able bed. This is one of the chief attractions
of the Home ; another one is the supper, for
which four cents is also charged. However
should a boy apply for admission without
money, he is gratuitously furnished with
meal and lodging. During the past year
over 13,000 meals have been furnished, and
27,900 lodgings given to over 3,600 different
individuals. Each one of them have more
or less directly come under the influence of
proper and judicious management. Their
moral taste and manners have been impro-
ved, and every inducement is held out, to
persuade them to live virtuous lives.
School exercises are held with them during
the week, and many of them learn to prefer
the school room to” the theatre and gambling
den. The boys appreciate kindness, and pay
strict and marked attention to the advice
given and instructions imparted. On Suns
day evening, religious services age held with
them, which resemble the sunday school
concert, in, every respect. The boys at these
gatherings learn to sing the beautiful pro-
ductions of the Sunday School, and thus
adopt their Hymns in the place and stead of
the vulgar slang, which formerly polluted
their lips. The Home is a great moral
agent, and it is a well known fact, that since
its formation, crime amongst children has
materially diminished. The Detectives of
our city join in saying that it exerts an excel-
lent influence upon the young and friendless.
As an inducement to the boys to abstain
from labor on the Sabbath, a free dinner is
given to such as remember the Sabbath to
keep it holy, and on an average from 40 to
50 embrace the conditions and accept the
gift.
Connected with the institution is the
wash-room, which is a verv necessary up?
pendage. The boys are required to use the
water freely before retiring—as one of the
principles of the Home is cleanliness. They
are only supplied with cold water and should
have warm also. Many of the boys come to
ed with filth. They are washed, and prop-
erly clothed, and when found honest and
trustworthy, are placed in situations, and
in the main turn out well. _
The boys have 11 Savings Bank at the
Home, in which they deposit their spare
change. Many of them are very saving, and
deposit from $3 to $5 per month. During
the past summer one boy saved the sum of
828. At the end of the month the bank is
opened, when five per cent. interest is paid
each depositer. One boy since he has been
at the home has deposited $300 in the Sa-
vings Bank. This speaks volumes for the
beneficial effects of the Home.
During-the past year over 3000f them
have been sent to the west,andprovided with
homes in Christian families. A correspon-
dence is keptup with some of them, and the
letters received are of the most cheering
kind. One who was placed in the West a
few years since isn'ow In College preparing
for usefulness. But space would not allow
me to give unaccount of the many incidents
which might be narrated. Ashort time since
a strange lad applied for a bed, it
was cheerfully given him. During the night
the Superintendent noticed that he appeared
very restless, and would leave his bed and
pace up and down. Thinking that he might
be sick, the warm-hearted Superintendent
asked what ailed him, if he was sick? “I
am not sick," the boy replied, “I’m too hap-
py, I cannot sleep, I‘ve not slept in a bed in
three months." -
Such is the work being done at the Home.
It is under the superintendence of Mr. O’Con-
nor, and deserves well of every lover of the
human family. A few kind words will ex-
ert a powerihl influence upon children, and
by It these waifs may be rescued from haunts
of vice and crime and become men among
men. At the present time many of them
greatly need clothing,and adouation of cast
off apparel. would prove very acceptable—
and would be gratefully acknowledged. The
‘ Home is not self-sustaining, but depends in
a great measure upon vountary contribu-
tions.
One word about the l.»oys—-they are kind
to one another—have boys hearts and readi-
ly sympathize with their fellow sufferers.
They are generous in disposition and assist
one another.
Let those who have hearts to feel for the
poor, send them a'token of love, and in bes-
towing they will realize the blessedness of
giving. Nothing‘is ever loat, it cannot be in
the nature of things. People sometimes say
that kindness is thrown away. This is a
mistaken theory—~11 is not lost, it will not‘be
lost. The fruit may not be seen to-day or to-
morrow, but in the unknown future it will
break through the stony -eart like a thing of

Unsuccessful attempt to Rob a Bank.
The New York Exchano'e Bank, at the
corner of Greenwich and Dye streets, was
entered by burglars after the building was
closed on Saturday night, and before it was
opened Monday A.M. l‘he robbers apparent-
ly entered from an adjoining cellar into the
sub-basement, and cut their way through the
floor into the vault above.
They succeeded in effecting an entrance,but
seem to have been frightened away, as they
did not'carry off a dollar of the funds. .
The robbers hired a collar adjoining the
bank about a month since, for which they
paid $1,100 rent. They dug down and went
under ground about seventy feet until they
came under the vault of the bank.
They then dug up. and took away the
foundation of the vault, which was construct-
ed of stone and iron and succeeded In getting
into the outer portion, but 'they failed in
breaking through the inside Iron chest, and
hence failed to get any plunder.

WThe late Hon. George W. Scranton /
Member of Congress from Pennsylvania, was
a native of Connecticut, whence he emigrated
to Warren County, New-Jersey, and engaged
in the manufacture of iron. Subsequently he
rumoved to Pennsylvania, and founded in
Luzerne County the flourishing town which
bears his name. He was heavily e aged
in the iron business, and also was large y in-
terested in coal operations in the Lackawan-
an coal field. When the Delaware, Lacks-
wanna, and Western Railroad was p.0jected
he took a very active part in pushing it for-
ward to completion, and was ope of its lead--
ing Directors. Such was his popularity at
home that (although a Republican), in the
year 1858, he was elected to Congress from
‘the Luzerne district, which had alway before
been reliable for 3,000 Democratic majority.
In 1860 he was reelected. In Con one, Mr.
Scranton was a zealous advocat fthe in-

course gave general satisfaction to his con-

Speech of The Traitor A. H. Stephens,
called Vice President. ‘
0n the evening of March 23d at Savannah,
Alexander H. Stephens, Vice President of
the Confederated States, made a speech to a
crowded house, the Mayor presiding.
But not to be tedious in enumerating the
numerous changes for the better, allow me to
refer to one other,tho‘ last,not least: the new
constitution has -put at rest forerer, all agita.
ting questions relating to our peculiar institu~
tion—African slavery as it exists among us
—the proper status of the negro in our form
of civilization. This was the immediate
cause of the late rupture and presentrevolu-
tion. Jefferson, inhis forecast,hadamici a-
ted this, as the “rock upon which the old a-
ion would split.” He was right. What was
corrjecturc with him is now a realized fact.—
But, whether he fuly comprehended the great
truth upon which that rock stood and stands,
maybe doubted. . 'The prevailing idem m.
tamed by him and most of the leading statesmen
at the time qftheformats‘on ofthe okiconsts’tuts’m
were that the endowment of the Ari-Mn toasts
«violation or the lamof nature; that it was
wrong in principle, socially, and ' s"
sally. It was an evil they knew not well how
to deal with, but the general opinion of the
‘men of that day was that, somehow or other,
In the order of Providence, the institution
would be evanescent and ' lW‘Y- “i.
Ideu, though not incorporated in the consti-
tution, was the prevailing idea at the time.
Theconstitution, it is true, secured every es-
sential guaranty to the institution while ll
should last, and hence no argument can be
justly used against the constitutional guar-
anties thus secured, because of the common
sentiment of the day. These ideas, however,
the assumption of the equality of men. This
was an error. It was a sandy foundation,
and the idea of a governmentbuilt upon it—
when’the “storm came and the wind blew,

Our new government is founded upon ex-
uctly_the opposite idea; its foundatsom' are
laid, at: corner stone rests, upon the great truth
were ftmdanwntally wrong. 'Jhey rested upon . '
that the negro is not equal to the white man. .
That alarm—subordination to the superior
race—Is his natural and normal condition.—
[Applause] . '
.This our new government, is the first with:
history of the world based upon this great
physical, and moral truth. This truth has
been slow in the process of its development,
of science. It has beenso even among us.—
Many who hear me, perhaps, .can recollect
well that this truth Was not generally admit
ted, even within their day. The errors of
the past generation. still clung to many as
late as twenty years ago. Show at the
North wh ill cling to these errors, with a
seal above nowledge, we justly denominate
fanatics. All fanaticism springs from a de-
fect in reasoning, It is a species of insanity,
Oue of the most striking characteristics of ino'
sanity, in many instances, is forming correct
conclusions from fancied or erroneous prem-
ises; so with the Anti-Slavery fanatics; the"
conclusions are right if their promisss Us.—
They assume that the negro is equal, and
hence conclude that he is entitled to equal
privileges and rights with the white man.—
ftheirprenfises' were correct, their conelue
sion wogled be logicslmand histl; but their
premise ing wrong, eir w o e 1
fails. I recollect once of having 1.33 a gen-
tleman from one of the Northern states, of
glreat power and ability, announce to the
curse of Representatives, with imposing ef-~
feet, that we of the South Would be compell-
ed, ultimately, to yield upon this subject of
Slavery, that it was as impossible to war suc-.
cessfully against a principleiu politicsss it
_was in physics or mechanics. That the prin- -
ciple would ultimately prevail. That we, in
maintaining Slavery as it exists with us, were
warring aginst a principle, a principle found-
,ed in nature, the principle .of the equality of
man. Thereply I, made to him was, that
upon his own grounds, we should succeed,
and that he’and his associates in their cru-
sade against our institutions, would ultimstt-
fail. The truth announced that it wasas im-
possible to war successfully against a princi-
pie in politics as inphysicsand mechanics, I
admitted, but told him that it was he and

As I have stated, the truth of this principle
may be slow in development, asall truths are

of science. It was so with the principles an-

It was so with Harvey, and his theory of the

a single one of the medical profession, living
at the time of the announcement of the truths "
