Congress.
The first session of the 89th Congress con-
venes at Washington to-day (Monday,) and
the first message of President J ohnson,which
is most anxiously looked for, will probably
[be delivered to-morrow. A caucus of Re-
publican members of the House was held on
Saturday night, and was very harmonious.
Schuyler Colfax received a unanimous nom-
ination for Speaker,an.i ere this has proba-
bly been elected. Edward McPherson,clerxi
of the last House, was also renaminated.
The following resolution was unanimously
adopted : ‘
Resolved by
sentatwes of the
ambled, That a
the Senate and House of Repre-
United States, in Congress as-
joint committee of fifteen
members shall be appointed, nine of whom
shall be members 0 the House and SIX of
the senate, who shall inquire into the condi-
tion of the States which formed the sO-called
Confederate States of America, and. report
whether they or any of them are entitled to
be represented in either House or Congress
with leave to report at any time by bill or
otherwise, and until such report shall have.
been made and finally acted on by Congress,
no member shall be received into either
house from any of the so-called Confeder-
ate States, and all a rs relating to the rep-
resentatives of sai tates shall be referred
to said committee without debate.
This is undoubtedly the most able Con-
gress assembled together for many years.

The Town House.
We have had several large Town meetings
of late, and our citizens have had good oppor-
tunity to observe how creditable to the town
and how convenient for the transaction of
its business is the present Town House. Fil-
thy, ugly, incapable of being either lighted
or heated, out of the way, and diminutive,
it has long ceased to be anything but an eye-
sore and a disgrace. Population and busi-
ness have increased in the central and west-
ern parts of the town, leaving this unsight-
ly structure outside of both, and it would
seem that our citizens would no longer en-
dure it. A suitable building adjacent to
Union Park, now that the road from West
Avenue is being opened would accommo-
date all portions of the town, and would af-
ford a place where public meetings 'of all de-
scriptions could be held and attended as
well by the citizens of South Norwalk, as by
those of the upper village.

WTlfl} first of the religious services rec-
ommended by the Committee of the Nor-

‘Mr. Barnes, of Darien, after which the Pres-
dent, (Mr. Starr) made a brief appeal for the
Arabic Bible, and aliberal contribution was
made for that object. The next service of
the course willbe held in the Congregational
Church, Westport, the 4th Sabbath, Decem-
ber 24th.

WThe Annual Meeting of the County

WWe learn that Rev. Mr. Austin, of the
South Norwalk Congregational Church, in-
formed his people on Sunday last, that owing
to the condition of his health, he should be
obliged to give up his ministerial labors, and
they must be on the lookout forhis successor.
His people will be sorry to part with him.

Cholera.
Next summer we have reason to expect
Cholera on our Atlantic sea-board. We are
prepared to give it a favorable reception
here. A stagnant Pund near the N. Y. &.
N. H. R R. station has, for years, been dis-
seminating disease among our citizens, and
the Town has just determined to keep it
where it is for another season. ‘ The reason
alleged is that the owner,who is said to keep
his title-deed in his pocket, lest by placing
it upon the Town record he should render
himself liable to an indictment for poisoning
his neighbors, mustbe found out and sued
by his neighbors and that this is the only
remedy. Those who assign this reason are
of course ignorant that the Statutes of Con-
necticut constitute the civil authorities of a
town a Board of Health with full powers,
at the public expense, to remove such
source of pestilence as the Pond in question,
Be this as it may, we do not envy the feelings
of the gentiemaii who has the deed of the
Pond property in his pocket, as he sees men,
women and children shaking with ague, of
which he iS the originator. And we imagine
also that our business men, when they find
their trade paralyzed next summer by one
or two cases of cholera, springing from the
same cause, will learn that it was a penny-
wise-and-pound-foolish policy to baggie at
the expense of its removal.

Enterprise at South Norwalk.
The South Norwalk people are noted for
their enterprise, and their unity and zeal in
pushing forward public improvements, and
in doing anything which tends to promote
the advancement of their village, which, in
consequence, is growing rapidly. A great
drawback to the growth of the place, has
been the scarcity of dwelling houses and
suitable building lots. We are glad to hear
that an enterprise is now on foot by whicha
large number of conveniently located and
very desirable building lots will be thrown
open to the public, at prices which will be
an inducement to mechanics to provide
themselves a permanent‘ home. Messrs.
Chester F. Tolles of South Norwalk, and
George W. Raymond of Bridgeport, have
recently purchased the old Absalom Day
Homestead, a large tract of land lying South
of Washington street and between Main
Street and the Harbor, and are about laying
out several streets, and cutting the entire
property up into building lots. Elizabeth
street, opened several years since, running
through this property from Main street near
the residence of Mr. Hatch, to the Harbor,
has recently been accepted and worked by
the town, and a street to be called Day street
is soon to be opened running parallel with
Main street, commencing at the lumber yard
sheds on Wasington street, to Raymond St.,
(at the lower end of the property,) which
connects with Main street, Other streets
will also he opened when needed. These
gentlemen have invested a large sum of
money in this enterprise, and by liberal man-
agement they will undoubtedly reap arich
harvest, and also deserve the thanks of the
community for thus making available for
public improvement this large tract of land.
Another Increase in 13a ssengcr
Fare on the N. Y. J: N. 11. R. R.
The rumor we published some weeks since
that an increase of passenger fare was con-
templated on the New York 8:. New Haven
Railroad, proves true, and the good people
on the line‘who are compelled to travel on
that road, are in no pleasant mood in conse-
quence thereof. We look upon this increase
as unjust and impoliiic, and we now believe
that our Legislature at its next session, by
force of petitions and of public opinion, will
be compelled to establish a rate of fare just
to the Roads and the travelling public, from
New York to the Massachusetts State line,
via Hartford. The new rate Of fare from
New York to Norwalk, is $1.30.

Notwithstanding the culture and refine-‘

thata purely literary entertainment would
not pay in Norwalk. Is this so? Our Lec-
ture Association propose testing this question
this winter, and we trust our people will
prove that literary merit is not unapprecia-
ted here. The committee have sucCccdcd in
engaging the celebrated Poet, J OHN G. SAXE,
who will deliver his poem on “Love,” on
Monday evening next. Dr. Holland is to
deliver his Poem, on the 18th inst. This

but the committee are obliged to take them

Base Ball.
“The third annual game of Base Ball,”—

Stamford and Norwalk nines, came off in
Stamford on Saturday afternoon last, result-
ing inavictory for the Stamford players.
Thegame was played under very discoul—

to appear at great disadvantage.
The weather was cold and chilly, the
turfin bad condition, muddy and slippery,
and the field very rough and by far too small.
The game was called punctually at one

at about 5 o’clock. The following is the

House where they were entertained with a
sumptuous supper at the expense of the
Stamford club. Both parties did full justice
to the tempting viands, and played their
points in this “game” with equal success,
The Norwalk boys came home much pleased
with the handsome manner in which they
were entertained by their Stamford friends,

The Horse Railroad.
This institution is falling into bad habits.
Its cars at South Norwalk, are needlessly
overloaded by waiting for the arrival of two
trains, due at intervals of fourteen to fifteen
minutes from each other, the one from the
east and the other from the west, and passen-,
gers are first delayed and then greatly an-
noyed by the result of the operation. It is
no pleasant affair to get into a horse-car, see
it filled, and then wait fifteen minutes lon-
ger to have it jammed. The proprietors of
the road are bound to give their passengers
seats, and not to subject them to be trampled
upon after they are seated. They should
have a car ready to start at the arrival of ev-
ery train, and if legislation is necessary to
stop the crowding which has already become
a serious evil, legislation will certainly be
had. *
WA correspondent sends us the above
communication in relation to our Horse
Railway. Knowing that the managers of
this Road are anxious to accommodate the
public, and are ever willing and prompt to
do all in their power to give satisfaction we
have no doubt they will give the complaint
here presented their immediate attention.
The travel on this Road has so much in-
cre‘ased, that it is plainly evident that the
company must increase their facilities, and
we are glad to learn that they propose, the
coming Spring, to lay down several more
turn—outs (on the Brooklyn plan,) so that
they can run extra cars up and down when-
ever occasion requires, without being com-
pelled to follow the regular time table,which
now causes so much inconvenience. The
company also propose putting on more cars,
and we hear are having a “double-decker.”

‘ It is a happy result of controversy, when
the parties are brought nearer together, in-
stead of being driven asusndcr. Your good
friend Howard, in his last article, has so pre-
sented his views and so modified his. state—
ments as to open the way for a candid ex-
amination of all the points of difference be-
mcnt of the whole question.
undertake to justify the snarling insinuations
of the Boston Review, and tacitly admits that
ministers are generally good men, with this
appropriate share of imperfections.
So far then we are agreed. He also ad-
mits that ministers are entitled to a decent
support, equal to the average of the parish-
ioners. No reasonable minister claims more
than this. As a general thing they have less
-——though of course there are exceptions.
He admits also that a minister who is not
supported by his people, is justified in leav-
ing them, and shaking off the dust of his
feet against them.
He further admits that ministers sometimes
must rest, else why does he propose a month
or ’six weeks exchange between city and
country pastors? I think his plan might
work well in some cases—but that is a mat-
ter for the parties interested to decide. The
point is conceded that ministers may have
seasons of relaxation. The only question
is asto the time and manner—and here there
is room for the exercise of a nice discretion.
Some go into the country, some make ex-
changes, some few go abroad. The object
aimed at is rest, and for this they have the
express sanction of the Master, come ye into
a place apart, and rest ye awhile.
It is to be presumed that he (J esus) went
with them on this occasion, as he did on
many others. He was not by any means
constantly engaged in preaching. He did
not keep his post constantly in the cro'wded
city—he often retired from the crowd and
was nowhere to be found; to be sure he did
good wherever he went, and so .does every
faithful minister. But the idea that He nev-
er intermitted his labors, never had seasons
of rest, is a figment of the imagination, un-
sustained by a fair construction of the sacred
narrative.
What then are the points of disagreement?
Howard tells us that Ministers and Elders in
the city, put their heads together and agree
to shut up the Church through the hot sea-
son, without consulting the pepple, or if
they do, it is a mere form, the matter is al-
ready settled. This is indeed unfortunate.
It is certainly a very strong argument against
the Presbyterian form of Church organiza-
tion, and furnishes good ground for our
brother to resign his Eldership and become
a Congregationalist. We do things very dif-
ferently. But after all, I do not see how all
this bears on the question of ministers vaca-
tions.
Because a minister goes into the country
to rest, it does not follow that the Church
must be closed. Any City Church can get a
supply through the hot season if they desire
it, at a very reasonable rate. The simple
truth is, the Elders wish to go into the coun-
try, as well as the minister, and they do not
want the trouble of seeing the pulpit sup-
plied. There is no remedy for this unless
the. people take the matter into their own
hands.
Now as to the matter of moral treason.
Let us look at it soberly ; a man is moved
by the Holy Ghost to desire the oflice of a
Bishop cr Mlnisterof the Gospel; he is or-
dained and set over a Church, that is-the
proper field of his labor. Must he never
travel beyond the“ bounds of his parish?
never visit his friends, never leave his people
for the purpose of preaching to the people
who have no pastor ? If you take the idea
of a watchman literally, you confine a min-
ister for life within the hon ads of his parish.
He must never leave it, even if starved, or
persecuted, or worn to death. A soldier set
as a watchman, must stick to his post, if it
cost him his life. Is this the law of Christ
for his ministers? Hear his words: If they
persecute you in one city, flee ye to another,
Whoever shall not receive you when ye de-
part, shake off the dust of your feet. Come
ye into a place apart and rest awhile.
Therefore I say, the application of the
passage in Ezekiel, to forbid ministers vaca-
tions, is a perversion of the passage. It
simply teaches that ministers must be faith-
ful in warning the wicked of their danger,
but does not forbid their leaving their posts,
for good and snfllcient reasons.
Equally unfortunate is our friend in his
application of our Lord’s direction to his dis-
ciples, when about to go out on a missionary
tour, “Provide neither gold in your purses
neither scrip, neither two coats apiece, nor
yet staves, for the laborer is worthy of his
hire.” Is there a word here against requir-
ing compensation for preaching? Does it
not expressly require it; is there a word
against salaries? Take the case of a young
man about to enter the ministry, he knows
not where he shall be called to labor, he has
no pledge from any man, or any body of
men, that he shall be supported. Shall be
then suspend his studies and spend five,
eight or ten years in some lucrative business,
and not attempt to preach till he has provi-
ded the means for supporting himself. The
Master answers no—tells ministers to get
their support from the people in charge.
Throw yourself into the work as soon as
you are prepared to preach. You have a
right to a comfortable maintenance, from
those to whom you minister. And this is
the course actually pursued by the great
body of our ministers. They do not spend
the years of preparation in saving up money,
but in fitting themselves for their work, and
then they throw themselves into the work,
expecting that God will incline the people
to give them a fair support. So far, certainly,
they follow the direction implicitly. They
go out into the wide world, literally without
gold in their purses, or scrip for their
journey—and it any of them have t'wO
coats, one of them is generally quite seedy,
for the other, they are often in debt to the
tailor. Were it not for the promises their
prospects would be poor indeed; but with
these, they go out cheerfully and hopefully
to their work.
Now comes the question of a settlement.
A certain Church desiring a pastor invite
one of these embassabors of Christ to come
and tarry with them. Of course they ex-
pect to support him. They would be disobe-
dienti to the Master, if they should not do it.
Then of course they must make some calcu-
lation about it,- either beforehand or after-_
wards.
other, they will and must find out what it
costs to support him. Does it makes any dif-
ference in the principle, how or when they
make the discovery? Is there any rule
in the New Testament on the subject? The
passage quoted by Howard has no applica-
tion to this case. The minister trusts the
people for his support; if they tell him they
can give him so much and no more, and he
cannot live on that—why then he must go
elsewhere. He has a right to a decent sup-
port, and he is willing to trust the Lord to
give him such a support, somewhere. He is
not bound to stay there and be the minister
of a people who will not support him.
I do not say that all ministers are as rea-
sonable in their demands as they should be,
nor doI deny that many of them show a
lackof faith, in refusing to enter important

to come out with a sweeping condemnation

ARE YOU NERVOUS!
Use Dr. Deers Nerve Elixir.
IT gives support to the nerves. it impaarts
both quietness and strength to the whole
system, and does not, like other nervines,
leave the patient excited and irritable.
The wonderful power of the Nerve Elixir
to control nervous irritation and excitemens it
shown by its effects in cases of wakefulness or
inability to sleep. Delicate persons who have
been for several successive nights without
rest, owing to an excited or agitated condi-
tion of the nerves, will find a prompt remedy
in the balmy influence of the Nerve Elixir.
