I been ‘5ch “2,011 during the past WEEK and

there are hut few measures of special inter-
eSi yet '.0 be disposed of except the tax and
mili'zai-y laws, which are to be revised and
need careful consideration. The tax law as
passed by the Legislature last year are de-
fective and doubtless some portions of it are
extremely unjust, if not unconstitutional.—
We hepe that the committee having ' the
matter in charge will not delayuntil the last
day of the session before they report their
bill, but that whatever they do report will be
placed before the two houses in time to give

,' an opportunity for full discussion and amend-

' ment if necessary. We sincerely hope that

such a course will be adopted by the com-
mittee and that they will not follow the ex-
ample of their illustrious predecessors of
last year. The Militia law needs radical
changes, and we believe if aproper bill is
passed, that we shall have in this State in
less than twelve months, ten thousand men
in uniform and proper drill. There appear
to be an unusual number of local and pri-
vate bills” and resolutions presented this
year, and it seems as if every man in the
State had a pet whim, or a private grievance
that required legislative action. The session
premises on their account to be a protracted
one.

Universal Suffrage. .

We propose, in our next issue, to com-
mence the publication of a short series of ar-
ticles, under the above title. The recent ac-
tion of the General Assembly, referring to
the people the question of a further exten-
sion of the suffrage, renders it eminently
proper that there should be a full and fair
consideration of the subject, preliminary to
the ballot. And, fortunately, the subject is
presented to us disembarassed of all extra-
neous issues; We have no occasion to troub-
le ourselves about what lie Federal Govern-
ment will do. or ought to do. We are not
called upon to vote on matters affecting oth-
er and distant communities. The question
relates to-Counecticut and only to Connect.
icut. The people of this state, in their pri-
mary capacity, as the source of all rightful
political power within itslimits, will make
their choice between limited and universal
suffrage. It is a very grave question. It
goes down to the foundations of the social
structure and according to its decision will
our love and-respect for genuine Democracy
bejudged. - _

It will be necessary, in the outset of such
a discussion, to revert, to some extent, to the

elementary principles, which underlie our
frame of government. We ask the attention
and patience of our readers in this portion of
our argument, believing that its presentation
is necessary to an intelligent judgment- of
the conclusion to which we shall arrive. -

SUBLIME INPUDENCE—One would think
to read the Liichfield Sentinel, (Democratic,)
that its editor was a native-born Southerner
—areal “F. F. V.” at least. In his last he
says : »

“It is a singular fact that all of the Gener-
als who have really done anything in this
war belong to the Democratic party. Our
roll .of honor includes McClellan. Sherman
Sheridan, Grant, Rosecrans, Meade .and
Thomas, in the army, and Farragut, Du-
pont and Porter, in the navy.”

“Our roll of honor” is pretty good for a
Copperhead editor at this late day.

Festivals.

The Ladies of the First Methodist E. So-
ciety held their Annual Strawberry Festival,
at Ely’s Hall, South Norwalk, Wednesday
and Thursday evenings last. The Ladies of
the 2nd Baptist Society held theirs, at the
same place, on Friday and Saturday even-

 

 

ings. On Saturday evening they sold six

quarts of Berries to one man, for $50. The
happy purchaser was Mr. Keyser, of Keysei"s
Island. For these Festivals the Hall was
very prettily decorated, and tempting refresh-
ments were in abundance.

The Ladies and Children of the 2d M. E.
Society are to hold their Festival at Norwalk
Hall, Monday and Tuesday Evenings cf this
week.‘ The entertainment commences each
evening with a Concert, forlowed by Ice
Cream, Strawberries,'et were, and a good
time generally.

The 2d Congregational Society hold their
Annual Festival, at Ely's Hall, South Nor-
walk, on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
They will undoubtedly have a large attend-
ance ‘aud a joyous time. The Horse Cars
run very conveniently for these Festivals.

‘ After the Ladies have had their Festivals,
the Military Companies put in their claim,
and ofi'er to show what Beuedicts and Bach-
elors (with the hem Of the fair sex, of course)
can do in the way of getting up public Enter
tainmeuts of this kind. The Norwalk Guards
announce 8. Strawberry Festival and Prome-
nade Concert for Wednesday evening—one
evening only. They have secured ,the ser—
vices of Mr.Monck and other musiciansfrom
New York, at a considerable expense, and
are exerting themselves to make the en ter-
tainment as attractive as posslble, and a
credit to the Company. Parties donating
fruit, cakes, flowers, &c., are requested to
leave the same at Mr. Camp’s Office, under
the Hall, on Wednesday morning, early.

The Burnside Guards, of South Norwalk.

STEAMBOAT.— The John Rorner commen-
ced her regular trips on Wednesday last, and
so far has been very well patronized. We
hear the Boat very highly spoken of, by pns
sengers. It strikes us, that the Boat would
pay much better, and give better satisfaction
to Norwalk people, if she run direct through

 

which require so much time for making the
landings. The Boat leaves Peck Slip, Pier
No. 26, E. R., instead of Fulton Market Slip
as advertised in our last.

The magnificent ovation accorded to Lieut.-Gen.
Grant at Cooper Institute, on Wednesday evening,
will‘ long live in the remembrance of every New
Yorker. It wasaspontsneous uprising of the peo-
ple to do honor to the hero of Donelson, Vicksburg,
Chattanooga and Richmond. At an early hour the
Institute was packed to repletion, and thousands
left, unable to obtain admission. The applause that
followed the advent of the great Illinois soldier,
compelled a cessation of oratory, and obliged. the
General to show himself, time and again, to the
enthusiastic audience—an audience composed of the
best classes of the Metropolis. Gen. Logan, who at
the beginning of the war. resigned Congressional
honors for the purpose of aiding in the suppression
of the rebellion, then raging with terrlfilc violence
in the trans-Mississippi Departments—and whose
service in behalf of Fre‘edmen and the Union have
been freely given in both a military and civil capaci-
ty—this man, who last year revolutionized the
Egypt of Illinois, whichunder his leadership, from
giving 21,000 majority for Douglas in 1800, gavea
handsome majority for Lincoln in 1864. this patri-
otic statesman and soldier received a most flattering.
ovation—an ovation only second to that accorded
to his illustrious commander. In a pointed, carn-
est and eloquent speech he urged the loyal men of
the country to stand by the Administration of Presi-
dent Johnson. Other speakers followed, but their
remarks were necessarily brief, ,the audience being
satisfied with those previously delivered.

Wrro win an SUB-TREASURER AT Naw Your; 2

An earnest contest is now being waged at Wash-

in this city. Mr. Stewart the present incumbent,
being, it is believed. on the eve of retirement. Mr.
Richard M. Blatchford, a prominent and wealthy
lawyer of the Metropolis, and an intimate politician
and personal friend of Secretary Seward, is actively
pressed for the position, and with some prospect of
success. It is understood, however, that the Presi-
dent prefers bestowing this responsible and digni-
nlfied ofice upbn a gentleman more identified with
financial and commercial than political afi‘airs.—cer—
tainly a wise preference.

els, as a duty the Government owes to itself and to
the Country! Mr. Mitchell was formerly editor of
the Richmond Enquire r, one of the most bitter cf
rebel papers—and has been noted for the violence of
his secession sentiments—sentiments 'in no degree
changed by the issue of the war. Our loyal citizens
are now seriously discussing the question whether
or not the Government is justified in permitting
this representative of secessioudom to ventilate his

rebel views through the columns of one of our dai-.

ly papers. The Grand Jury will doubtless take the
subject into consideration, and pa=s upon it atan

not conclusive. The subject is an important and

W The Rev. Mr. Spencer, formerly of
New Hartford, tells a pretty story of Mr. Lin-
coln. Several clergyman engaged in the
Christian Commission happened in Wash-
ington together, and of course a visit to the
President was proposed. A man employ-
ed in the Commission warehouse overheard
the cOnvcrsation and expressed a wish to go,
but he had no coat with him. He was per—
suaded to disregard it, as the weather was
warm. and go without his coat. On reach-
ing the President's parlor the coatless indi-
vrduul was a little awed by the contrast be-
tween his own undress and the general elc-
gance of the apartment-and took a seat as
remote from the President as sible. Al‘-
ter the interview closed, the resident in
compliance with a request, wrote his auto.
graph—A. LINCOLN—several times upon a
sheetof‘ paper, and tearing it. into strips, gave
each of the clergyman one Unl' Contless
friend was unnoticed in the distribution, and
called Mr. Spencer’s attention to the fact.
Mr. Spencer‘imniedintcly led'hlm u,; to the
President and introduced him, mentioning
the oversight: the Preside grasped him
warmly by the hand, then s ped to a side
desk, took up a sheet of elegantly embossed
paper with the Official seal in the margin, sat
down, and write at full. length,

' “ YoURs SINCERELY,

A. LINCOLN.”
and handed it to him with a friendl cordial-
itv which for the moment caused al consid-
erations of' dress or rank to be forgotten.
The incident mav be trivial, but it illustrates
one of the noblest traits of character.

THANKS TO GEN. BIRGE,

0n taking u the resolution of Mr Cour-
stock, late ajor of the 13m C. V.
said while he Would not review the career of
Gen. Birge, though it had been a brilliant
one, he would say that while we honor our
soldiers we honor ourselves. He gave a
short review of the career of Gen. Birge
through the war.

Mr. Pratt heartily approved the statements
0er Comstock,,Mr. Hamilton of Farming-
ton said he could testify to the worth of Gen
ed the resolutions. The resolutions were
unanimously passed.

Substitute to prevent the hunting of rab-
bits with ferrets. Moved by Mr Osgood to
indefinitely post pone. !

the matter.

the bill was passed.

Substitute bill providing for election of
trustees of the ME. Church. An important
amendment had been already proposed b

it changes the discipline of the church. Mr.
Hammond thought so too.

Mr Douglas in rather spirited manner ex.
plained the amendment in a different way.
Mr. Manson also objected to the bill if not
amended.

Mr. Welsh said that as the amendment
takes some of the power from the clergy and
gives it to the people shall we go further
than they ask and take all the power from
them? It Is not expedient.

Mr. Kingsbury said that the Methodists
have been well satisfied with their own part
and we have no good reason for meddling
with what they donor ask us, to. Mr Chain-
berlin favored the idea of allowing the
Methodists the law they wanted. The pre-
vious question was ordered and the amend—
ment rejected. The bill was passed.

Bill to make its avails of property sold

Warren’s Improved Felt, Ce-
ment and Gravel Roofing.

Decidedly the best, most durable and
cheapest known in this countr . Materials
which are liable to be con ounded with
this have long been in use for covering
factories and burns, &c., but never until
this recent discovery has any kind of Ce-
ment Roofing been used for our best resi-
dences. The combinations of this roofing
are such as to render it perfectly water-
proof; makes solidhliandsome workLis a
very great saving of at least 25 per cent
over any other roofing in use.

FAMILY Dru Gowns—The inventive genius of
the day rarely goes into the domain of domestic
utilities. The FAR ILY DYE Conons of Howe & Ste-
vens,—whichmay properly be called an invention,
—nre, however, among the fortunate triumphs in
this direction. They are now in general use in
nearly every part of the country. and wherever used
they are sure to displace all, other preparations. In
point of economy, the dyes are also to be especially
recommended, making a saving, as they do, ofsome-
thing like 80 p er cent. They can be used in every
family with but little trouble, and upon any kind of
fabric. They are just what is wanted, and so, of
course, are in great demand.

W“ Liberty is one of the dearest blessings which
our forefathers have handed down to us. It was
purchased by the blood of many a valiant revolution-
ary hero; has been guarded by a Washington a Jef-
fersonian, a Clay, and a Webster. But dearer still
to the, hearts of the people is that world-renowned
remedy, known as Coe‘s Cough Balsam. It cures
like magic the most violent attacks of croup, end is
indispensable in every family of children. Colds,
sudden coughs. sore throat, hoarseness, and inflamed
lungs, are instantly and surely cured by its timely
use. No cough mixture has ever been known that
equals it, which accounts for its great popularity
with all classes. The young and old—the rich and
poor—physicians, druggist—nnd all who have ever
tested it speak in the hishest terms of its merits.
We say to our readers—buy it and try it. It costs
but. 40 cents the bottle, contains twice as much med.
icine as you can obtain in any other way at the same
cost, and all our drug stores keep it. 1m16

Persons of sedentary habits troubled with weak
ness, lassitude, palpitation of the heart, lack of ap-
petite. distress ufter eating, torpid liver, constipa-
tion, &c. deserve to suffer if they will not try the
celebrated

PLANTATION BITIBRB.
which are now reccommended by the highest medi-
cal authorities, and warranted to produce an mime-
diale beniflcial efi'ect. They are exceedingly agree-
able, perfectly pure, and supcreede all other tonics
where a healthv. gentle stimulant ls required.

They purify, strengthen and invigorate.

They create a healthy appetite.

They are an antidote to change of water and diet.

They overcome effects of dissipation and late hours

They strengthen the system and enliven the mind.

They prevent miasmatic and intermittent fevers.

They purify the breath and acidity of the stomach

‘They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation.

They cure Diarrhoea, and Cholera Morbus.

They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Headache

They make the weak strong, the languid brilliant,
and are exhausted nature’s great restorer. They
are composed of the celebrated Cslisaya bark, win-
tergreen, asssafras, roots and herbs, all preserved in
pure St. Croix rum. For particulars, see circulars
and testimonials around each bottle.

Beware of imposters, Examine every bottle.
See that it has our private U. S. Stamp unmutilated
over the cork, with plantation scene, and our sig-
nature on a fine steel plate side label. See that our
bottle is not refilled with spurious and deleterons
stufi‘. Any person pretending to sell Plantation Bit-
ters by the gallon or in Bulk, is an imposter. Any
person imitating this bottle, or selling any other
material therein, whether called Plantation Bitters
or not, is a criminal under the U. 5. Law, and will
be prosecuted by us. We already have our eye on
several parties refilling our bottles, &c. who wil
succeed in getting themselves into close quarters.
Th! demand for Drakes Plantation Bitters from in-
dies, clcrgymnu, merchants. &c. is incredible. The
simple trial ofa bottle is the evidence we present of
their worth and superiority. They are sold by all
espectable. druggists, grocers, physicians, hotels,
saloons, steamboats and country stores.
