DEATH OF Gov. BROUGE—Tlle governor
of Ohio died at Cleveland on Tuesday after-
noon after a painful illness. The fatal di-
sease was gangrene in the foot, induced by a
malignant carbuncle. Twice had the affec-
ted part been cut out, but the process of mor-
tification wss not arrested. The entire, por-
tion of the foot from the outside of the an-
kle joint to the center of the sole was laid
bare; another carbuncle developed itself.-—-
On Saturday it was decided to amputate the
foot, but local inflammation prevented the
operation.

with proper business ideas,should be shrewd
enough to perceive that now is the lime to ad-

after every reaction will fall still more, sell

- of every prudent dealer. Dispose of it
. promptly and at the best prices you can get,
for the longer you hold -On the less prices
you will obtain. It is better to voluntarily
submit to a small loss at present than to be
c‘ompulsorily subjected to a greater loss by
and by. Sell Off ! sell 011 l and to accomplish
this, indispensable feat, adcertise liberally.
Now is the time, we repeat it, to do it dis-
creetly. Get ahead of your neighbors if
on can, by advertising more and thus sel—

be safe. This» is plain dictate of common
sense, and he who heeds It not will bitterly

Tuesdayfieptémber 5 i 8 E 5;
Friday’s Town Meeting.
There were an unusual array of local in-
terests embodied in the call for the last
town meeting. The projects for improving
Water Street and Beatty street were Carried
with little opposition. The vote to improve
and widen the old ship yard road was also
carried. A vote to repair the Hill road from
the Episcopal Chapel to the residence _. of
Francis Nash, was carried afteras'pirited
discussion. A vote was also obtained to
construct a new road from near the head of
tbepresent‘steamboat dock to the main st.
from the Depot to Wilson’s. Here was a
fair exemplificution of the beneficial results
of a new road. That large and much need-
ed plateau of meadow, known as the Noah
Day estate, is thus thrown into market for
building and improvement. This road will
cost the town a few hundred dollars—an-
other year, will witness the N orwnlk Asses-
sors levyingtenfold more tomes upon this land,
than wasever laid upon it before, and justly.
_No newroad ever was, or EVER CAN be laid
out in a thriving, growing town, without
promoting the general welfare and adding to
the village prosperity. The rapid growth of
South Norwalk, (far outstripping the Bridge)
shows conclusively that in that quarter they
are not ignorant of or indifferent to the fact.
A new street results in New Houses, new
houses bring new residents to produce trade.
The Lumberman, the Carpenter, the Mason,
the day laborers. the Merchant, and every
taxpayer, is deeply interested and profited
thereby. When will the people of our own
immediate section learn to comprehend this
inevitable advantage.
The project for a new sewer to carry off
the water in front of Messrs. Dimon and
Smith, met a needless‘opposition and result-
ed in the appointment of a committee to re-
port next Friday.
The proposition to accept the report of
Selectmen laying out a road along the West
bank of Norwalk River from Henry Kel-
logg’s to'the New Bridge,was voted down by
abouts dozen voles. Some assert, because
the measure was not rightly understood, oth-
ers because “the world is so given to l ying,”
and still more, because the most strenuous
efforts were made to force this public im-
provement, (which would put thousands of
dollars into our assessments where hundreds
only have hitherto been Iaid,)« into the filthy
mire of a. political and partizan contest.—
The future action of the town in this mat-
ter will so inevitably result in itls construc-
tion that it may be worth while to state all
the facts about it just as they exist. The
original vote authorizing the selectmen to
lay out this road was passed by the most re-
spectable and largest tax-paying citizens of
the town. It was then understood and sta-
ted that ALL the land-holders, save one-(and
that where a road already virtually exists),
would give the right of way for the public
benefit. Commissioners went over the route,
and in assessing the cost of fencing to the
land-owners, inadvertantly, we suppose,
awarded ten dollars to Chas. Kellogg, who
nevertheless does not ask or expect the mon-
ey. He gives his land to the town so it
makes the fences thus necessitated. The
next proprietor the same. On entering the
land of Henry Kellogg—the engineer
and the selectmen were unaimcusly of
the opinion that it would be cheaper
for the town to purchase of Mr. Kellogg a
right Of way in one place rather than accept
for nothing the line designated and offered
to be given by Mr. Kellogg. This explains
the award of 8187 to Henry Kellogg. To
the Misses Belden—while it was self-evi—
dent that their property was to be more
benefitth and less damaged than any other
proprietors, in consideration of their peculiar
characteristics, the sum of $200 was award—
ed for the right of way, in addiliou to the
award of fencing. This by most people is
deemed an unreasonably large award but it
was made soin the good faith of harmoni-
zingan intelligent and unreasoning opposi-
tion. The statements so~ industriously cir'
promotion of private and selfish purposes
alone is totally untrue. In fact many of its
most earnest advocates, have not a dollar
of property in that part of the town,and only
favor it because they know it will promote
the public interests of the town. They know
that the trade of scoresof families who now
drive to Darien, will be brought -to N orwalk
—-that by this road a very large section of
the town is to be directly convenienced,
and our merchants, our mechanics, our 19.-
borers and heavy burdened law payers are all
to be benefited thereby.
As the separate awards for fencing has
paovcd a. stumbling block, would it not be
bestto leave that to the discretion and per—
haps more ccdnomical adjustment of the se-
lectmen, whenever the vote shall be passed,
as we are entirely confident it will be, when
honestly understood.
.<.>uo—
More Manufactorics.
A large and influential manufacturing
company with a capital of two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars—contemplating the
running Of two hundred Looms in the man—
ufacture of Ginghams,—have under favorable
consideration the location and erection of
their factory in Norwalk. They expect to
give employmentto over three hundred op-
eratives, and the value and importance of
this accession to our productive wealth and
population,can scarcely be overestimated.—
We know there are some few among. our
present population who will be distressed be-
yond measure at such a daring raid into our
town, but then the great mass of the citizens
of Norwalk are not so stupid, and will not
only rejoice with us in the prospect, but do
everything possible in cvincing an earliest
welcome.

The Center SchOol Grounds.
If there has been hitherto, anything more
than another an intelligent citizen of Norwalk
could point to With pride and urge upon the
attention of strangers seeking provincial resi-
dence, it was the preeminent character of our:
Public SchoOls. This high reputation, we
fear, has not all the time. been entirely . sus-
tained under our more fecent system, but we
rejoice to be assured that for the present and
the ensuing year our public schools will com-
pare with any similar institutionsin Connect
icut. This we are told is especially true of
the Center District, and we really hope the.
parents in that district will give still greater
efficiency to the school by their united and
determined support. Our common school
system is justly the pride of .New England.
Our noblest and most eminent statesmen, or-
ators, jurists and divines have risen from the
common school. Here the children of the
rich and the poor travel the one common
road to knowledge, and are thus schooled in
that true/democracy which is the strongest
and safest bulwark of our nationality. The
common school is essentially American and
should receive the earnest support of all good
citizens. ’ I I
It is rare indeed that we have been so
thoroughly gratified as at the action taken by
this School District at its meeting last week,
called to consider the propriety Of selling the
lots in front of their substantial edifice. It
required very little foresight to discern, that
these lots would not be purchased and built
upon by any parties whose presence or im-
provements would not detract both from the
beauty and the value of the School Property;
to say nothing of the wrong for all coming.
time, perpetrated upon the children by (le-.
priving them of so rare and pleasant a play-_
ground. We rejoice that this peril is pass.
ed, and now Messrs. school committee let us
urge upon you the erection Of some neat and
unexpensive railing about these grounds, the
deposit of a few loads of soil, the sewing of
grass seed and the setting out of a few shade
trees. In no way can you so cheaply en-
hance the value of the District‘s property or
add such substantial beauty and comfort as
well as earn for yourselves the gratitude of
school children so soon to become men and
women. A blind old fogyism does not rule
altogether here in Norwalk. Let us thank
God and take courage.

either is or is nota citizen.
Isthere anything in their color or situa-
tion ? Became citizens in common with otli-_
ers. '
BISSELL, J.
' I. Are these persons citizens within the
meaning of the Constitution of the United
States?
1. They are natives, born of free parents ;
descended from ancestors who have been in
the country as long as those Of any others,
and who, for aught that appears, have owed
and rendered allegiance to government from
its formation. '
2. From hence it conclusively follows that
they are not aliens. This has not been con—
tended in the argument.
3. It also follows that if not either citizens
or aliens, they belong to some intermediate
class not recognized, so far as I know, by
any writer, either on municipal or national
law.
4. It also follows that they belong to such
intermediate, class because they have been
assigned to it, by the Constitution of the
United States, as expounded by the laws that
have been enacted under it.
5. Are they assigned to such class by the
Constitution ? What did the framers of the
constitution intend by the term “ citizens in
the several States ‘2”
I admit that the term “citizen," is not de-
fined in the instrument. It is used as one Of
'known' signification. It is not used in refer-
ence to people of color, nor-to any other
lclaSs. And I think we shall look in vain
through the instrument itself, for any ex-
pression from which even an inference can
be drawn, that persons of color are, or were
intended to be excluded.
How was the term citizen then understood ?
To ascertain this we may perhaps look to
'the previous as well as the subsequent acts
of: Congress, and also to the legislation of
the Several states, and to the opinion of emi-
-ment jurists
1. In the articles of confederation ‘free In-
habitants" is used. S. C. moved to insert the
word “While,” negatived, A. 2; N. 8; D. 1.
They were, then, clearly embraced in the ar-
ticles of confederation. ' -
2. Treaty with Great Briton. There shall
be perpetual amity between the subjects of
his B. M., and the citizens. of the U. S.
3. So in the Treaty with France, and in all
subsequent treaties. Were not the free
blacks subjects of the King of G B., before
the Declaration of Independence ?
And by their express or tacit assent did
they not become members of the newly cre-
ated State? 2 Kent, Com. 40.’ And as such,
do they not owe allegiance tome govern-
ment.
Distinction between that allegiance which
is due from a natural-born citizen and non-
resident. ' ‘
The former cannot be renounced. 2 Kent,
’Com. 49. '
'May free colored people renounce their
allegiance to 'the government at pleasure?
Suppose they leave the country alid are
found in-arms ? '
- 4. Subsequent Legislation Of Congreess.
Militia Act of ,1792; J udicary, Enrollment
of ships, 85o, Protection extended to seamen-
citizens of the U. S.
Admission of Missouri. Report of the
Committee, Language. Louisiana Territory.
5. Constitution and Laws of the various
States.
Point of view in which these are to be re-

Gates read an Essay on the Demands of a
successful Sunday School at the present time.
.This was followed by brief and spirited ad-
dresses by Revs. Stone, Townley, Benedict,
Simona, Van Meter of the Howard Mission,

pleasant and profitable meetings closed with
a Collation on Union Park, provided by the
Norwalk School. » .
Mr. Van Meter’s presence and spirited ad-

tributed much to the interest of the occasion.
He found homes for several of the children.

every Sabbath evening at 7 1-2 o’clock. Next
Sabbath evening the Pastor preaches upon
the C’oncersion of Children.

Peach Festival.
Strawberry Festivals have had their day,
and served a good turn to amuse the people,
and raise In oney for benevolent purposes, and
now Darien ladies propose trying what virtue
there is in Peaches, for the same purposes.
Theyare to hold a “Peach Festival’ at Fitch’s
Hall, on Wednesday and Thursday evenings
of this week. Together with the smiles 0f
‘the ladies, this is enough to entice the money
out of any man’s pocket.

Fairs.
On Wednesday and Thursday evenings
the ladies of the Congregational Society,
Westport hold a Fair in the basement of the
ME. Church.
The fair held at Norwalk Hall last week
by the ladies of St. Paul’s Church, was quite
successful, a large quantity of fancy articles
being disposed of. The profits were largely
increased by the extensive 'sale of “D’Artois
Celebrated Ice Cream.” We hear that the
ladies netted quite a snug amount for the
benefit of their church.
The ladies of Wilton had a very success-
ful and pleasant time of it last week under
cover of the Agricultural Society’s canvas.
They always win success because-they fairly
earn it:

The Danhury Times.
The brothers, H. & L. Osborn, who have
been publishers of the Times for the past fif-
teen years, have sold the material and good
will'of that establishment, to Messrs Bailey
& Donovan, and in the last issue of their pa-
per we find their “Leave Taking,” together
with that of W. H.‘ Francis who has been a
sort of Assistant editor. The new proprie-
torshave just returned from the war, having
faithfully served their three years in the 17th
Regiment. Mr. Bailey, or “Manton,” as he
subscribes himself, has won condsiderable
reputation as the funny war correspondent
of the Times, is a fluent writer, and will be
“irrepressible" as an editor, and we expect
the old Times will sparkle all over with new
life. Mr. Donovan is well known in this vi-
cinity as “our Tim,”he left us to go to the
war, made a first-rate soldier, fought bravely
at Cliancellorsville and Gettysburg, was cap-
lured at the latter place and suffered the hon
rors of Belle Isle, for a time, with “Manton”
as a companion in misery was exchanged and
rejoined his regiment in the South, was de-
tailed as printer at Head Quarters, and final-
ly given charge of the government Office,
when mustered out of service he retain ed the
place on aliberal Salary, and only gave it up
to accept his present position, in which he
will conduct the “mysteries” of the mechan-
ical department, while “Manton ” learns the
"miseries” as well as the pleasures of editori-
al life. They are enterprising and if proper
ly encouraged will make the limesalive pa-
per, and an honor to the place. Success attend
them in all their efforts.
