Bcpudiation.
We have never doubted that the Northern
allies of the Rebellion would, when the Re-
bellion should be subdued, unite, in political
action,witl1 the defeated Confederates, and
attempt by their aid and in their interest, to
obtain the control of the‘Government. There
could be no measure to the support of which
the followers of Jefferson Davis would more
heartily rally than the repudiation of the
war-debt 0f the Republic. That arch-trait-
or was the first to. bring the shame of repu-
diation upon the country, when, many years
ago, he succeed in persuading the people of
Mississippi to repudiate their State bonds.
And now to be beaten in the war which they
had begun is hardly more distasteful to the
rebels than to be compelled to assist in pay-
ing the bill of expenses, and in this latter
dilemma, their Northern friends are rushing
eagerly to their rescue. The New Haven Reg-
ister, without a blush, in its issues, from day
to day, is advocating repudiation. Of course,
it has a pretext, and calls the the thing by
another name. It calls for taxation of the
Government bonds, which is the taking ape.
tion.
The Government needed funds to carry
on the war. It offered to such as would loan
it their money, _a certain amount of’interest,
and freedom from state and municipal tax-
ation. Tens of tliOusands of the people eve-
rywhere accepted the terms, and the trust
fund of widows and orphans, the savings of
the industriouslabOring classes, and of men of
moderate means have been invested in these
bonds, and now the Register calls upon the
Government to uE‘x-UDIATE its part of the
contract, so far as relates to the taxation of
these bonds. To do this is just as much RE-
PUDIATION, as to wipe out the whole debt by
Act of Congress, and the Register knows it ;
but it,affords an opportunity for specious
sophistry, which the other would not, and
so is made the entering wedge for _the con-
summation of the nation’s shame.
Of course every rebel whose handsare red
with loyal blood, and whose tongue is foul
with perjury will rally to the support of the
Rambler’s scheme, and first disguised, then
open REPUDIATION, instead of devotion to
slavery is henceforth to be the bond of
union between the northern and southern
enemies of the Republic. Let loyal men,
everywhere, look to it in time.

In our last, in a running dissertation upor’f
local improvements, we incidentally referred
to the Homestead being fitted up by that
prince of noble hearted men, LEGRAND LOCK-
woon. “(0 (168111 so important a local im-
provement, worthy a more extended notice.
In the first place, this Homestead, as most
are aware, embraces the old J as. Benedict
property, the Charles Mallory land, and the
John Seymour estate. Starting on West Av-
enue, it runs back to the Pine Island road,
which after passing the cemetery lot joins its
southern boundary.
In all there may be a score of acres of
'wild, uneven surface, yet commanding a,
beautiful view of the Harbor and Sound,’
While being essentially tn‘town. Along the
entire West Avenue front is laid a heavy
granite coping ready to receive an iron fence,
but better than this,,on its frontis graded a'
dry level gravel side-walk, such as must as-
tonish the pedestrians of Norwalk. This
walk is a model of cheapness, beauty and
comfort, and-we earnestly commend its imi-
tation by other public-spirited citizens and
by the legal autitom'tt’c‘s'also. No better walk
can be made and at so small a cost. Let it be
more generally adopted. At the lower end.
an artificial lake has been thrown into a 1101-
low prepared by nature, while tufts of‘ trees,
knolls, excavations, mounds, and irregular
surfaces have been set and wrought out by
is. master hand so that the entire _plot shall
,blendinto a romantic and picturesque whole.
This master hand is Mr. Wm. Trubee, of
Fairfield, so long Landscape Gardener to P'_
T. Barnum, and Who has clothed in _beatuty
indescribable, the grounds of ’ Ex-Collector
Barny and other. wealthy New York gentle-
men upon the North River. Mr. Trubee is
also an Architect of no mean acquirements.
He has had erected under his supervision a
Porter’s Lodge at the Gate entrance, which
for unique grace and beauty we do not be-'
lieve is surpassed by anything upon this con-
tinent. Without his knowledge or consent,
we take the liberty 0f asking our citizens to
take a peep therein the first chance they get.
The Carpenter work, is being done by that
well known Chief in his profession, Mr. J iles
Seymour and much credit will this monu-
ment of his handicraft do him. The inside
Mason work is executed. by Henry Seymour
and he may justly feel proud of his share in
the work. The plumbing we are sorry to say,
was don e by a New York house, because no
establishment in Norwalk makes that branch
aspeciality. The barn is also well wortha
visit. Like the Lodge it isplain granite out-
side and finished with oiled hard native
woods in the interior. . In all its appointments
we are assured it is net equaled by any simi-
lar structure in New England. But perhaps
the most enticing and really Wonderful de-
velopmént upon these grounds is the Conser-
vatory and Grapery. Here is at least an acre
of ground under glass, with all the choice in-’
digenous fruits ripening every month in the
year, with Pines, Banannas, Oranges and ev-
ery description of tropical fruit, filling the air
with perfumes, and the eye with their luscious
beauties. J. P. McName is the presiding ge-
nius of the fruit and floral forest. But our
limits will allow us no further latitude. Will
not our citizens take a look at these beauties,
and“copy” a little from these happy devel-
opments.

to expect capture, took no means to conceal
himself; the day before he was taken he spent
the afternoon walking around Central Park,
and in the evening walked through the.

$49,000 was found, all the ready money, he
said, that he had about him. He claims to
have been atone time worth $6,000,000 all of

J. B. Macy, Mr. Elwell, has secured the
Lock, by substituting for it one manufactured
by the Norwalk Lock Co. The lock is at
:from a Wind Mill erected in the year 1690,
to the present Mill,which was erected in

“ Our Roads."
Miassus. EniTons.-—,.-Your i'egulaigvarticlc
on Rbiids this with, is so far from the truth,
that I think you‘lb’etter be corrected a little,
lost your' article next week, may be even
more absurd than this. Now when you rep-
resent that Eight 01' Ten thousand dollars
has been fooled away this season 011 the
Roads, you represent that which is not true,
because not half Of this amount has been, as
yet, appropriated mail by the town.
_Isuppose it was unintentional your niu-
k'in’g 'tbis‘r‘nis-statement, and yet I cannot
understand why, when the Town Clerk’s 0f-
fice is at the very next door, you did not
threw for tantalum“ ragwee with" you,'that'
the Roads in this town are generally in a
poor condition, and need repair, and have
been all this season, and for your informa-
tion, and those you have misle‘ad,I wish
now to inform you why.they are so.. Last
fall, after all the money appropriated that
year by the Town had been expended, and
the Roads weré‘”in good condition, we had
two very powerful and unusual. Rain Storms,
and the roads throughout the town were
very badly washed, and in several places
were left dangerous,——some of our older in—
habitants may remember these storms. A’
,special town meeting was called, to;take
into consideration the appropriation of
more, money. for Highways, and I ‘- was
called on to state in that meeting the
amount I thought was needed to repair the
roads, and I there stated that I thought it.
would cost four thousand dollars, to put the
roads in as good condition as they were pre»
vious to those rains—and I still think so.
After considerable discussion as to the prac-
ticability of repairing roads so late in the fall,
the gentleman who is always ready with his
written" motion, offered the following, “ Vo-
ted, that one thousand dollars, or such sum
not exceeding one thousand dollars, as the
Selectmen deem expedient, be appiopriated
for Highways.” Some gentleman, through
kindness, or else because he thought the Su-
perintendent should attend to the business
properly his own, moved to amend by ad-
ding he Superintendent to the committee,
whé pon the mover of the original motion,
in his majesty and wisdom, accepted it as a
part Of his motion. The motion was then
passed. _ .
The Selectmen wished to know if I could
not get along with five hundred dollars, and
finally agreed I might expend six hundred
dollars, and afterwards allowed me toex—
pend a little more. Seven hundred and
forty-four dollars and seventy nine cents was
all that was expended of this appropriation,
leaving the roads in bad condition generally.
At the last Annual Town Meeting (Dec.),
instead of appropriating four or five thou-
sand dollars, as ought to have been done for
the Highways for this year, but three hun-
dred dollars Over the regular appropriation
for the previous year was appropriated.—
Twcnty-five hundred dollars was appropria-
ted for the year—34 of which to be expend-
ed by the 1st Of July and 1-4 for the Fall. I
divided the Spring appropriation in the Eight
Highway Districts, as I deemed just and
equitable, which has been expended, and this
as a matter of course, was not near enough
to put the roads in good order. So much
complaint being made on account of the
roads, in July (if I am not mistaken asto the
time,) a special appropriation of fifteen hun-
dred dollars was made,—this was in midsum-
mer, as you talk about—and I could not
with all the urging I knew how to make, get
the Surveyors then to work, because they
then had their own farming work to attend
to; when they could leave their farms and
attend to the roads, the forepar't of this
month, on account of the “severe drought,”
the roads could only be “tickled with a lit-
tle soil, fine dust and ashes.” We have now
had some rain, and I hope and believe the
Surveyors will be able to do better.
The great mistake was, that more money
was not appropriated last December for this
year, in view of the condition of the roads,
so that the Surveyors could have put the
roads in order in the Spring, before they had
their farming work to attend to. By the ad-
dition of new roads the roads in this town
.are constantly increasing, and in former
years, I believe some two thousand dollars
was appropriated usually, with labor for a
man seventy-five cents to a dollar, and man
and team two dollars and a half to three dol~
lars a day; now with more roads, and labor
two dollars for a man, and four to four and
ahalf forinan and team, with but little in-
crease _i_ ' .propriation, it appears to me tin-
reaeonable to suppose the roads can be kept
; should be. »
Yours, Respectfully,
, _ DUDLEY P. ELY,
_ ,. Superintendent of Highways.
South Norwalk, Aug. 26th, 1865.
W We heartily thank the Road Commis-
sioner for his communication. It is the first
statement, at all authoritative,the public has
bad. It goes right to the root of the matter
and while it shows that we had been misin-
formed as to the amount expended on our
roads, it entirely confirms our oWn and the
publics theory that the present wretched state
of our Highways is the result Ofpast neglect,
The old adage “ an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure,” is as true in road
repairing as in physio, and our commissioner
realized its full force when he “urged the
District surveyors to go immediately to the
' work of repairing them, 1230.” We have no
dispositidn to,censure‘individuals. It is the
system which is fundamentally wrong, and
our commissioner has succeeded we think,
in convincing all who may have had doubts
upon the subject before, that we are working
at the wrong end of the rope. He shows
conclusively, what we have mainly tried to
inculcate, that our. roads should be subjected
to constant and continued repairing, instead of
lettingthem become ,worn out and‘ almost
impassable before being touched. How much
better and howmuch cheaper to the tax-pay.
ere it would be to employ a class of men who
should devcte their entire time to this duty,
is clearly (Inducible from the above letter.
We commend its essential points to the seri-
- ous consideration of all interested.

age than 1830. The price of a visit in those
days was fifteen cents, but when the consci-
entious physician took one ride to see sever-
al patients be divided the price among them,
so that the most frequent item in the bill is
“to part visit .08.” The charges for medicine
from five to twenty cents, and the highest
amount in the columns is “to sundry medi-
dine, compound tincture, and tin box, .39.”
The total ofthe bill, which is for constant at-
tendance and medicine for a period of eight
months, the visits averaging as often as once
a week, is less than five dollars.
