Earnings of Telegraph Compa. “
nies.
' A statement in the money article of the
Journal of Commerce of the 31st ult., setting
forth the monthly earnings of telegraph com-
panies, is calculated to convey erroneous im-
pressions with regard to them, and makes it
proper that the facts should be so staid as
to convey the truth.
In the first place it should be known that
the lines of the Western Union and Ameri~
can Telegraph Companies, and such lines as
are leased and controlled; by them, are the
consolidation of the oldest lines of telegraph
in this country, and are understood to be rep-
resented by a joint capital of from 25,000,000
to 30,000,000. of dollars. Until a very recent
date they have had a complete monopoly of
the use of: electricity in the conveyance of in-
telligence. not only for the public and the
press, but since the war began, for the gov-
ernment.
On the other hand, the United States Tel-
.egraph Company was organized only last
August, with a nominal capital Of 6,000,000 of
dollars, a little more than one half of which,
or about 3,500,000, has been placed for the
purpose of paying for the lines purchased by
it and of building additional lines already
completed, and those now in the course of
construction. It is true that ii has lines
“working to many of the same~ points with
the other two companies,” and-when itslines
are finished, with less than half the amount
of capital stock, upon which to pay dividends
its lines wil reach all the principal points
that are reached by the other two companies,
including the principal points in the mining
districts of Colorado and Nevada, and the
incipal cities and towns in California; a
contract for the construction of a first class,
two wire line, having just been completed
with parties fully able to carry it into efict
in the shortest possible time, running from
Chicago and SLLouis to the Pacific, at San
Francisco. . '
Up to the present time, however, several of
the principal cities and towns. of the West
have not been reached by the lines of the

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.
II.
In our last article, we stated that the mod-
ern forms of civilization are distinguished
from the ancient by the recognition of certain
natural rights of man; that, in the American
social theory, individual freedom occupies
a foremost position among these rights;
that the consent of the individual, express
or implied, is essential to all just limitations.
of that freedom, and that, therefore, Govern-
ment, which is a limitation of Individual
freedom, necessarily derives its powers from
the consent of the governed.
From these principles, it appeared that,
by strict natural right, the choice of magiS-
trates and the enactment of laws would de-
mand unanimous consent, but that, from the
imperfection of human nature, as exhibited
in the intellectual incapacity of all to think
alike, and their physical inability to meet in
a single assembly of the whole people of a
country like our own, resulted two limita-
tions of strict natural right, out of which
were necessarily evolved the powers Of the
majority and the use of the representative
system. We further stated that the forego-
in g were the only limitations recognized by
the Declaration of Independence, and show-
ed how the principles aVOWed in thatinstru-
ment, Were the natural result of Christian
civilization in the circumstances and early
growth of the American Colonies. We ex-
hibited the influence of those principles in
the overthrow of antagonistic customs and
forms of society, since the establishment of
our government, and, lastly, we found but
one barrier to their final triumph remaining,
viz : the denial of rights by reasan of diver-
sity of race. '
The right, which is thus denied in some of
the States, is that of suffrage, and it becomes
necessary that we should form a clear con-
ception of its nature, in order to arrive at
just and satisfactory conclusions. Is liberty
to vote a right of the individual, ora fran-
chise conferred upon him? If our reason-
ing hitherto has been sound, there would
seem to be but one answer to this question.
If government is a limitation of' individual
freedom, if alljust limitations of that free.
dom require the consent of the individual,
if that consent is only capable of expression
through the Representative, then every in-
dividual has a right to participate. in the
choice of the Representative. And, in truth,
here lies the essential distinction between
the European and American social theories.
By the former all political functions find
their source in the crown, and descend from
it to the people. By the latter, all political
functions originate from the people, in whom
alone is inherent sovereignty. The Euro-
pean petitions for franchises, the American
asserts rights.
It is of incalculablc importance that this
distinction be practically observed. The ino-
mcnt that participation in the election of
any limitation narrower than that of incli-
vidual manhood, we begin to move back-
ward in the direction of those cld-wrrld
systems which it has cost us the efforts of
two centuries to shake off ; suffrage loses
itsrecognition as a right and assumes the
character of a mere privilege. Toshow
how wide a departure from fundamental
principles is thus accomplished, we quote a
few pregnant sentences from the Declaration
of Rights prefixed to the Constitution of
Connecticut.
“ That the great and essential principles of
liberty and free government may be recog-
nized and established, we declare that!!!”
men, when they form a social compact, are
equal in rights, and that no set of men is
enlitledJo exclusive privileges from the
community.” We quote again from astill
older charter, one, out of which have flowed
all the inestimable benefits of modern civili-
zation. “God hath made of one blood all
nations of men for to dwell on all the face
of the earth.” If the Declaration of Inde-
pendence is true, if our Bill of Rights is true,
if the Bible is true, it follows, irresistibly,
that the exercise of suffrage is a right of
man because he is a man, and needs no other
support. Like other rights it is capable of
forfeiture, but the exception only proves the
rule.
We urge then, in the first place, the re-
moval of the restriction of color in this com-
monwealth, as an imperative duty, demand-
ed by the law of right conduct. So long as
it is retained, the State is inflicting a wrong
upon those who suffer the deprivation, and
every one who votes for its retention is guil-
ty of oppression. To conscientious men,
this consideration is conclusive, and it re-
quires but a slight knowledge of American
history for all men to perceive its weighty
import. When the Convention, which
framed the Constitution of the United
States, was discussing a proposed clause of
that. instrument Whose practical operation
was expected to result in the immediate sup-
pression of the slave-trade, South Carolina
,and Georgia objected to its adoption and
enforced their objection with threats of with-
drawing from the Convention. The Middle
States, led by Virginia, insisted upon its pas-
sage. New England, acknowledging the in-
iquity of the traffic in human beings, but
anxious to secure the general commercial
advantages which would result from the
, Constitution, united with the extreme South
in the proposal of a compromise, which
should leave the slave-trade unrestricted for
, twenty years. George Mason of Virginia,
l in opposing this measure said, “ As nations
i cannot be punished in the next World, they
i must be in this. By an inevitable chain ' of
9 causes and effects, Providence punishes na-
tional sins by national calamities.” His re-
monstrance was unliceded. The compro-
mise was adopted; for twenty years, the
slave-ship, sailing under the American flag,
deposited its freight of misery upon our
shores; slavery, as the result, spread from
the Atlantic states into the far interior, sap-
piiig the foundations of free government
wherever it went, till it acquired sufiicient
strength to assail' the very life of the Repub-
lic, and now, half a million bloody graves,
north and south, attest the fulfilment of
Mason’s prophecy. Yet God has not suffer-
; ed the nation to be destroyed. A few Weeks
iago as the Rebellion went crashing down
linto annihilation, how ready were we, as
E hand cla sped hand, and eye flashed greeting
5 back to eye, to acknowledge His hand in our
f wonderful deliverance. Have these terrible
four years taught us nothing? Can We not
see that, in His providence, this question is
still left open to us a touchstone of princi-
Issues of mere expediency, such as
relate tor-avenue or currency and the like,
» may be decided either way, without viola-
ting the obligations of moral duty ; but the
denial to our fellow-men of rights, which
our fundamental charters prove to lie inhe-
itent in humanity, docs violate those obliga.
tions, and the nation or State, which is delib-
nrately guilty of such viblation, is sowing
E“he wind, to reap the whirlwind. We, surely,
cvf' all people, should have learned that, in a
question of this character, there is but one
: safe course for society or the individual, and
home on a visit.
1 that course is; To DO RIGHT.

successful attack on Charleston.

The Life of President Lincoln.
The life of no one man, who has lived in
this generation, offers so varied and tempt-
ing a field of material, from which to com-
pile a valuable and interesting biography as
that of Abraham Lincoln.
Various literary men will doubtless engage
their powers, in the attempt to place before
the American public, such a biography, and
it should find a place in every household in,
the land.

Author, Dr. J. G. Holland, from whose pen
eminated the “Timothy Titc'omb” Letters,
“ Bitter Sweet”, “ Gold Foil”, Etc, is, and for

W The correspondent of the Danbury
Jefi‘ersom'an, writing from Hartford, has the
following:
“The annual celebation of the Committee
on Fisheries, came off on Tuesday evening,
by an elaborate oyster supper, got up in good
style, at one of the principall saloons of
Hartford. It was a grand affair and worthy
ofthc gentlemen comprising that commit-
tee, and of the occasion. As Mr. Tolles, of
Norwalk, is the House chairman of that
committee, Fairfield county came in for a
large share in the festivities. ‘ Some very
amusing anecdotes were related of rather a
fishy nature, and although no set speeches
were made or songs sung, yet there was mu-
sic in the hearts of the guests, and many
agreeable things were said, which contribu.
ted much to the pleasure of the occasion.
Altogether it wasa splendid affair. I am
informed that this is the only committee that
has an annual supper.”
@The “Committee on Fisheries” is a
great institution, and their'arduous duties re-
quire them to frequently “recuperate." “The
gentleman from Norwalk,” We know, can
preside with great dignity at the tail end of
afish dinner, and tell as big a fish story as
any other man. Another blow out is soon
to be the order of the day, we hear it' inti-
mated.

UNION NOMINATIONS IN IOWA.
The Union State Convention of Iowa
convened at Des Moines on the 14th inst,
and nominated the subjoincd ticket 2
For Governor—Col. Wm. M. Stone.
Lz'eut. Governor—Benjamin F. Guc.
Justice Supreme Court—Geo. G. Wright.
Supt. Pub. Inst—Orville Farvdle.
Unconditional Union resolutions, inclu-
3 ding advocacy of universal suffrage, were
unanimously adopted, whereupon the Con-
vention adjourned sine dz'e.
Since 1855, Iowa has voted Republican by
large majorities. At the last Presidential
election the vote was as follows :
Lincoln, McClellan, Total
Home vote, 71,765 47,675 119,440
Soldiers “ 17,310 1,921 19,231
Total 89,075 49,596 138,671
Lincoln’s majority, 39,479. In 1860 the
Republican majority was 15,298.
Governor Stone will be re-elected by a
very large majority.
THE UNION NOMINATIONs
for State Officers in Ohio, are very favorably
received here by those conversant with the
radical sentiment of the peOple of the North-
West. General Cox, the nominee for Gov-
ernor, is very popular with the masses, and
is known to be in thorough accord with
Chief-Justice Chase as to the wisdom and ex-
pediency of conferring the right of suffrage
upon the freedmen of the South. The other
nominees are men standing equally high in
the confidence of the voters of the Buckeye
State. ,
The reasons that dictated the withdrawal
of Governor Brough asa candidate for the
nomination are sound and commendable.
In addition to those already published may
be added one that doubtless governed his ac-
tion to a considerable extent. The Govern-
or is wealthy, and has extensive business
connections, so much so, in fact, that all the
time he can spare from attention to official
duties must be devoted to his private affairs.
Like Era-Gov. Todd, Mr. Brough is largely
interested in the Railroads of Central Ohio.
ThefConvention Would have unanimously
re-nOminated him had he not. withdrawn
from the canvass. Nothing but his unalter-
able determination to retire to private life
led'to the selection of another nominee.
IION. rsAAC N. ARNOLD,
late Representative in Congress from the
city of Chicago, and at present Sixth Audit-
or of the Treasury for the Post Ofilce De-
partment, is preparing a most interesting
work—a sketch of the life and public acts of
the late President Lincoln. Mr. Arnold’s
personal relations with Mr. Lincoln were
such as to enable him to prepare one of the
most graphic and timely books of the day.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CONTROVERSY
has been finally disposed of, the Court of
Appeals holding that the law creating a Paid
Fire Department for the suppression of fires,
is Constitutional and must be carried out.
This decision affords much satisfaction to the’
majority of New Yorkers.
ARRIVAL 0F CONSUL-GENERAL MINOR.
Hon. William T. Minor, U. S. Consul at
Havana, arrived here yesterday, en route for
his home at Stamford, Conn. The Havana
Correspondent of the Herald, writing under
date of the 17th inst, speaks of him in the
following complimentary terms :
“ I understand that it is the intention of
Mr. Wm. T. MinorgUnited States Consul at
this port, to leave by the steamer Eagle tO-day,
if nothing arises to prevent his departure.—
The United States are represented nowhere
by a man of nobler h art or .cnurteous
manner than Mr. Minor. I “101' t "he
timers. an...» nus been here as won the
esteem and respect of even the bitterest ene-
mms Of‘ the United States government, be-
cause in these sad days it is difficult tOM-
an official of that government who does not
think that enemies have lost every feeling,
impulse and affection common to human na—
ture. Mr. Minor, in his small sphere has
done more to conciliate Southern people
than a. dozen amnesties, and shows a truer
appreciation of his fellow men than those
who hold the destinies of millions in their
hands. I sincerely wish Mr. Minor a happy
journey home, and, for the sake of those
who may need him here, Ihope he may
soon return to his post in renewet'health
and vigor.”
Mr. Minor is 58 years of age. He has, I
think, served two terms as Governor of Con-
necticut.

L. Wilson received 1,073; Miss Hill, 1,068;
Miss Carley of Ohio, 422; Blanks, 300;
Scattering 608. It was agreed by the Com-
mittee before counting the ballots that no
report should be made of the votes cast for
any lady where the number given was less
than one hundred. So Miss Annie L. Wil-
son lias been officially announced as the
prettiest girl in Chicago.

Fair for Wounded Soldiers. .
A few months since the “ LOYAL" young
Ladies and girls of Noroton District, Darien,
commenced working for a Fair, the proceeds
to be given to allay the sufferings of our gal-
lant sick and wounded soldiers. Happily,
since its inuguration, the complications of
Gen. Grant put a summary end to the rebel-
lion, Jeff Davis, Gen. Lee, and the lesser
lights (may they receive the punishment
which traitors deserve). Yet there still re-
main a large number of soldiers, languishing
this extreme warm weather, in Hospitals,
who need many little comforts in the way of
Oranges, Lemons, Cordials, Fans, &c.,&c.,
which will in some measure alleviate their
sufferings.
The Fair 'was held last Wednesday night,
at Fitch’s Hallfwhicli was beautifully deco-
rated for the occasion, and attended almost
exclusively by those who have been known
as “friends of the Union,” through this try-
ing and severe contest. It was a. delightful
occasion. Besrdes the many beautiful things
made by the ladies, there were Strawberries
and Cream, Speaking, and fine Singing by
the children; “Victory at Last," being giv-
engwilhgond effect. 1 ” '
-' But the most pleasing and surprising fact
was that the net result was $150.38, gath-
ered to be bestowed upon the worthy re-
cipients of this festival. May the blessings
of Heaven rest upon those who originated
and perfected this affair, and may others go
and do likewise. OBSERVER.
NEW CANAAN.—- We learn that the Fair
and Festival held by the ladies of the Con-
gregatonial church, under the tent last week,
was a great success, the ladies clearing near-
ly six hundred dollars.
WILTON.—The ladies of the Episcopal So-
ciety are going to celebrate the 4th, and at
the same' time raise money for the benefit of
their church, by holding a Fair and Festival,
under the “big tent," two days next week.
NEWTOWN is to have a new Episcopal
Church at a cost of about $30,000, of which
$25,000 has already been raised.
Duncan—Curtis Merchant’s yoke of
oxen were struck by lightning Sunday night
week and killed.———Thc M. E. Society held
a Fair and Festival last week, and met with
good success. The tables were filled with
the most elegant and costly articles ever ex-
hibited at a Fair in Danbury, the Hall was
handsomely decorated, and the Danbury
Brass Band discoursed the music—Rev. J.
Robertson was to preach his farewell ser-
mon on Sunday last, and on Monday eve-
ning the ladies were to receive all desirous of
becoming acquainted with Rev. Henry Pow-
ers, or of bidding adieu to Mr. Robertson, at
the new Church.—-——Ed. Hull has sold that
piano of his for the same sum that he paid
for it,Viz., $1.95. Whether Mr. Hull intends
to introduce a more expensive instrument iii-
to the Poor House, deponent saith not.

BETIIEL.-—-The Congregational Society
have voted to build, in place of their church
destroyed by a recent tornado, a new house
of Patent Pressed Brick, to contain all the
modern improvements. The amount of the
contributions thus far received from the mem.

our forefathers have handed down to us. It was
purchased by the blood of many a valiant revolutions
ary hero; has been guarded by a Ilhsliingtou a J of-

to the hearts of the people is that world-renowned
remedy, known as C'oc’s Cough Balsam. 1t cures
like magic the most violent attacks of cronp, snd is
indispensable in every family of children. Golds,
sudden coughs, sore throat, hoarseness, and inflamed

use. No cough mixture has ever been known that
equals it, which accounts for ‘its great popularity
withall classes. The young and old—the rich and

tested it speak in the hishest terms of its merits.»

At Milan, Ohio, i. . . .2 9th inst, Henry
T Lockwood, Esq., in the .lst year of‘his age.
Mr. L. was the son of the late Capt. Sle-
. plicn Lockwood, of this town. Young, ar-
dent and enterprising, in the year1815,lic
‘ left his native town, with his young wife, (a
daughter of" the late Capt. Henry Chicliester,
of South Norw:ilk,) and their infant child, to
i assist in forming a new Colony far beyond
the boundaries of civilization, in Northern
l Ohio. After along and tedious journey, pro'
tractcd by unforseen difficulties to a period of
three months, during which, they buried their
babe in an unmarked grave in the wilds of
Western New York; losing their cattle and
other property in crossing unbridged Rivers.
and suffering many hardships and privations
they reached their new home in the wilder-
ness. Their house—a log cabin ; their Ta-
ble, (often scantily supplied,) the stamp of a
tree; they suffered for a few years all the
privations of pioneer life.
There for half accntury he lived and la-
bored, assisting in developing the resources
of a new Country, in laying, broad, deep and
high, the civil, literary and religious institu-
tions of his adopted State. Lived to see the
Wilderness“Bud and blossom as the Rose,”
and to see his children and his children’s
children enjoying the fruits .of his toil and
suffering; to see his adopted State occupying
a proud position of influence and import-
ance in the great family of States, and more
than all, his patriotic heart was cheered with
the glorious result ofthc efforts Of the friends
of the Union in the suppression of the Re-
bellion, and that the volunteers of his State,
led by the illustrious son of his co-laborer,*
had contributed so largely to attain it, and
in his last illness, in the midst of great bodi-
ly suffering, but with unclouded mind, i'e-
joiced to see the Star of his country rise and
shine with more glorious effulgence than cv'
or before in the galaxy of nations. COM.
. * The father of Maj. W. T. Sherman and the sub
Ject of the above sketch were born in the same
neighborhood in this town, and emigrated to Ohio
about the same time.

A Card.
At a meeting of the South Norwalk Burn-
side Light Guards, held at their Armory, June
13th, 1865, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted :—
Resolved, That in the decease of our cs-
teemed Comrade, Henry Johnson, this Com-
pany has lost one of its most valuable mem-
bers. One who by his gentle and afiection-
ate nature endeared himself to all around
him. He responded early to his Country’s
call for her defence. He entered into the
Naval scrvice,’ and was in sixteen engage-
ments. At the expiration of his time he
returned home. Also like many of its brave
defenders he has passed away.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with
the family of the deceased in the great loss
they have sustained, and as a mark of re-
spect to his memory we will attend his in-
ncral.
Resolcerl, That a copy of these resolutions
be forwarded to the bereaved family, and
also be furnished to the Norwalk Gazette for
publication.

celebrated -
PLANTATION BITTERS.
which are now reccommcnded by the highest medi-
cal anthorities, and warranted to produce an imme-
diate bcnificial effect. They are exceedingly agree-
able, perfectly pure, and supercede all other tonics
where a healthy, gentle stimulant is 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 andlate hours
They strengthen the system and enliven the mind.
They prevent miasmatic and intermittent fevers.
They purify the breath and acidity ofthe stomach
They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation.
They cure Diarrhea, 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 Calisaya bark, win-
tergrecn, nsssafras, 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 numutilated
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 deleterous
stuff, Any person pretending to sell Plantation Bit-
tcrs by the gallon or in Bulk, is an iniposter. Any
person imitating this bottle, or selling any other
material therein, wlictlier called Plantation Bitters
or not, is a criminal under theU. S. 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.
The demand for Drakes Plantation Bitters from la-
dies, clergyman, merchants. &c. is incredible. The
simple trial of a 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.
