A Victory of Right.
.The House of Representatives at Wash.
ington, on Thursday last, struck out the
word “white" from all laws of the District
of Columbia relating to suffrage. The vote
stood 118 to 54; eight votes more than
two-thirds. All the members from Connec-
ticut voted for the-Bill on its final passage-
Thus in the Capital of the nation, the
Representatives of the nation have declared
that the fundamental principle of Republi-
can government, equality in the exercise of
civil rights, shall henceforth be the law. Dis-
tinctions of race and color are to become
obsolete and MAN is to stand upon the im-
mutable basis of his manhood, and no other,
as a member of the State.
It is certainly well for timid and time-
serving politicians to study the foregoing
vote. To such we say, Gentlemen, the
stream of events is not going to flew back-
ward in this country, as some would per.
suede" you. If you want to keep the let
things in the shape of ofiicial emoluments
end position, which you possess, it is far bet-
ter for you to go forward with this stream
than be overwhelmed by it. If you have no
principles which would lead you to labor
for equal rights, be assured that henceforth
such labor will be more profitable than is-
king the part of wrong, injustice and oppres-
sion. Thedays when that was most profit-
able, ended in this country ‘with the over-
throw of slavery. '

National Growth
As a supplement to our: article on the
above subject, publisheda week or two since
we call attention to the following paragraphs
from the‘report of the comptroller of the Fl-
nances._ It opens up a subject, which, after
reconstruction is to be the debatable ground
of politics, and in which old associations
may be sundersd and new party associations
formed. How the taxes necessary for the
support of the gorprumenf, for the, payment
of interest on the public debt, .and for a sink-
ing fund which shall gradually 'éxtinguish
that debt shall be assessed is a question vi-
tally afi‘ecting all our interests, and we es-
pecially commend to our readers the sug-
gestionsof the final clause of the quotation
as italicized by ourselves. A tax on a few
articles of general production, is, unquestiona-
bly the desideratum or the financial policy
of the country.
“The resources of the country are great
beyond enumeration, the developement- of
wealth rapid beyond precedent, and it re-
quires only a judicious application of means
to the end proposed to enable the govern-
ment not only to meet all its pecuniary obli»
gallons with entire promptitnde, but with-
out imposing exactions that shall be unduly
burdensome or give just cause of complaint
to the people.
‘ It is believed. that from a few sources a
revenue can be raised sufficient to meet the
interest, on the public debt, pay the ordinary
expenses of the government, and contribute
thirty millions of dollars annually to a sink-
ing fund that will pay a national debt in
thirty-two years and a half.
The tariff can be so adjusted as to produce
one hundred and twenty millions of dollars;
one hundred millions can be raised on whis-
key, malt liquors, and domestic wines; fifteen
millions on tobacco ; one hundred and
twenty five millions on cotton ; fifteen mil-
lions from stamps; from licenses twenty
millions, and from the premium on the sur-
plus oi gold, afterpsyiug interest on bonds,
ten millions, making, in the aggregate, four
hundred and five millions of dollars, a sum
probably one hundred millions in excess of
the amount that will he required under an
. economical administration of the govern-
ment, leaving a large margin on the above
estimate for reduction. The estimates, how-
, ever, of the revenue derivable from the sever-
al sources indicated are not the result of
loose conjecture, but each is founded upon a
careful inquiry in reference to past produc-
tions and revenue under the existing law.
It is estimated that the cotton crop the
next year will amount to between two and a
half and three millions bales; a tax of ten
cents per pound on two god a half millions
will produce one hundred and twenty-five
millions of dollars. It is reasonable to sup-
pose that'the annual crop of cotton, after two
or three years, Will equal in amount the av-
erage of the crop for a few years previous
to 1861, which was about four and and a
half millions of bales. A tax of eight cents
per pound on that quantity would produce
‘ one hundredand eighty millions of dollars a
sum more than sufficient to pay the interest
on the public debt after the entire amount is
funded. The license and stamp duties could
be dispensed with after the next fiscal year,
and it is to be hoped that after that no more
income will be derived from premium on
gold.
Three-fourths of the crops of cotton and
tobacco are exported; that proportion there-
‘ore'of the tax on those articles would be
paid by foreign countries, and to that extsm
contribute to the liquidation of the public
debt and relief of our own people.
' A tax on cotton of eight or ten cents per
pound would neither diminish the domestic
production or lot eign demand for that staple
Our means of production, natural and ap-
plied, are such as to enable us to furnish the
article at a less price, including the tax pro-

State are requested to '
posed, than any other country. Even at
half the price which this product now com-
mands in New York and Liverpool it can
be grown and sold at a large profit, includ-
ing the proposed tax, in its cost. Nor would
the imposition of a tax on the staple pro-
duction of the southern’ States prove inju-
rious to that section of the Uinon. It will
of necessity be a very large purchaser of
northern manufactures, and if by the pro-
posed measure the north sand south be re-
lieved almost entirely from other taxation
for government purposes, as they would be
if cotton is taxed to the extent proposed,
their purchases would be made at a con es-
pondingly less price, and both north and
south would derive a benefit from the opera-
tion. 4
By thus restricting the subject of revenue to a
few articles of general productum tho eoslof
collection would be greatly reduced by the da-
charyc of a whole army of motors, collectors,
«be, to the manifest adoantaye of the public
treasury; nor would the least of the benefits
tormlffromfhisaclion befound intho fact
that such an adjustment of the system of taxa-
tt'on would loam no ground for public complaint
and consequently preclude dishonest and dis-
loyal politicians from unilingwith the cue
rules of the Union in 0686an the publtbcred-
it and repudiating the national obligations.

Resonant—The Dry Goods Store of J.
F. & C. R. Bennett, South Norwalk, was en-
tered by burglars on Saturday night last,
who obtained admittance by cutting out a
paunel of the front door. They succeeded
in carrying of! goods to a considerable
amount. Two clerks of Messrs. Bennett
were asleep in the store, and their slnmbers
were not disturbed. It is‘also reported that
the thieves'broke into a'car below the depots
built a fire, and assorted their goods, and it
is supposed they went to New York in the
owltraiu. They must have been the same
persons who entered a store in Stamford last
week, and whose subsequent conduct was
precisely the same.

questioned. if we consider the longevity of
her citizensas any criterion on the subject;
for but few if any towns can boast of a great-
er number of persons of advanced age. The
severe weather of last week appears to have
proved too much for several of their most
venerable and respected residents. Amongst
these we would mention the names of Mrs.
Stephen Radford, who died on Saturday
night last, at the age of about 75 years ; Mrs.
Dayton mother of Mr. Nathaniel B. Dayton,
who died a few days ago at the age of
95 years; and Mr. Benjamin Knapp who
died on Saturday last, at the age of 94 years.
Mr. David Lyon, aged 95 years; Mrs. Levy
Browne, aged 93 years; and Mr. Silas Davis,
aged 93 years, we believe, are still living in.

The members of the Band were a happy

Their beautiful new german-silver instru-
ments arrived and were presented to them,
by Mr. Hubbell, agent for LeGrand ;Lock-
wood, Esq. The instruments were made by
Messrs. Gilmore, Grover dt 00., of Boston,
and are probably the finest and best in the
State. The money for procuring uniforms
for the members has been raised, and the
uniforms are now under contract. The Band
is in a flourishing condition, and we believe,
will soon prove a credit to the place. We
give below a list of the members, with the
instruments played by each member:

A Wizard and Gift Show occupied Lock-

Friday night they engaged the Norwalk
Band to play for them in opposition to a
Band at Norwalk Hall. ‘
The latest novelty in the Minstrel line,’ is
a simon-pure negro troupe whichzit is claim.
ed is composed of ex-slsves from Georgia.
They performed two nights at Norwalk
Hall, and gave very good satisfaction. Their
dancing was capital, and their perform-
ances generally as gaud as most minstrel
troupes. They have a very good brass band.
' On Friday and Saturday evenings, ,the
Cantata entitled “Spring Holiday,”vwas per-
formed at Ely’s Hall South Norwalk, for the
benefit of the Baptist Sunday School, under
the direction of H. M. Prowitt, Esq'. ’On
Friday evening the Hall was crowded, and
a fair audience was present on Saturday
evening notwithstanding the unpleasant
weather. The Concert was gotten up with
great care, the various parts .were cred-
itably taken, .and the singing throughout
was very good. The audience evinced their
appreciation by almost constant applause.
We Would suggest the propriety of repeat-
' ing the Cantata up-town. It can be. given
with even better efi'ect in our large Halls,
and our people will be glad to have the op-
portunity of attending a pleasing entertain-
ment of this character. Let us have it by all

Carolina though still filled with gall against
the North, is perhaps more orderly, and more
honestly desirous of keeping faith with the
government, than many other states recently
in rebellion. Considering the fact of the
uneuinmity of the people'for secession, the
last elections—for representatives to Con-
gress—have. testified to the existence of a
“union party,”-—of such grade ‘as might
damn another community, ut may yet save
Sodom. In the First Congressional district
a direct issue was made; and although, Gen.
Kennedy—s young active, talented and
Bopular man—was elected, his opponent,
udley, who was put forward sole] for his
known. andtried unionism. and w oceuld

only every feeble support, received a large
vote, and in Marion a majority. ' In the
Second district therezliwas a sharp contest
between Mr. William,:Whaley, an able la-w- .
:yer of Charleston. Gen..Stephen Elliott of
Beaufort, a young man of wide poamlarity,
disabled, in the rebel army, and nvernr-r

union principles, and not for any personal
reasons. In the Third district there was very

A Valuable Work. 5
Norwalk and vicinity for Johnson’s New
Family Atlas, 3 work which is recommend-
ed to us bv friends in New Haven, who have
examined it, as a most complete and valuable
ticed for some time past, that wherever this
work. has been introduced in the leading
cities of New England, our editorial friends
havespoken of it in the highest terms. We
find the following notice of the work in the
New Haven Palladium, which we commend
to the attention of our readei's :— ,
The value and importance of s full, accu-
necessary to say ssingle word on the sub-
Ject. Every general reader and, business
iman'duily’ fools the need of some better At-
.lss than any that are now tobe found. This
need it seems to us has been fully supplied
by‘the'; edition, inst published, of Johnson’s
Zoo hmilyAtlas. We have examined it
with greatcere,end cannot but come ; to the 5.
conclusion thatit‘ii the most c6niplete'"workf
of the kind thetlce'n' be obteihcdl It con-
tains 105 maps, prepared with the greatest
care to secure their accuracy Many of them
are printed on double chests, presenting a
comprehehsivs and detailed 'vievvf” of the
earths surface, rarely to be found. The
‘- .typographlcal execution of the work is un-
exceptionsble. The maps are printed from
steel plates, and the names of! states, coun-
ties, towns, ac, although necessarily in what ‘
we call “.fine print,” are clear and readable.
The maps of the United States give the most
recent geographical divisions} The new
States and tsrritorlesaresccurstely defined,
laid out by counties in other maps, are here
divided into townships.
The'mape havebeen gotten up under the
direction of J. H. Colton, and some of them
are nearly the same as those used in Golton’s
atlas, but the alterations of the old plates
and the many new ones introduced, render
this essentially a new work.
Besides these accurate and beautifully fin-
ished maps, which constitute 01' course the
chief value of the work. it contains other
important features. The letter press of the
volume contains nearly 75"pages of descrip-
tive and physical geography and statistics of
the most valuable kind, which have evident-
ly been collected with great research and
labor. We have here a complete list of all
the cities, towns, villages and post offices in
the United States, an abstract of the last
census, and a chronological history of the
rebellion-ea mostimportant feature.
rebellion greatly stimulated the‘: study ~l'of
geography. Maps and charts, statistical
works and all sorts of books that imparted
any geographical'information have been hun-
ted up and searched with avidity. There is
no work, it seems to us, that meets this grow-
ing demand so well as the one before Us. It
in fortunate that it appeared ata time when
it is so much wanted.
The publishers intend from time to time
to furnish new maps and new statistics at a'
very low rate, the book being so arranged
.that these new maps may be inserted be-
twecn‘the leaves of the present volume.
Mr. L. W. Fairchild, the agent for the
n!- oftlria Atlas. is now , canvassing New
Haven. He has met with great success in
other places, and we confidently recommend
to our citizens the volume which he offers
them, as being an invaluable work, fully
examine the Atlas without being seized with
an irresist ble desireto own a copy. Nu-
merous testimonials of its value have been
given by many prominent literary men,
and one well-known clergyman writes to a
friend: “Buy the Atlas, if you have to wear.
Lay it'
an old coat a year longer to do it.
' by the side of your Bible and your dictiona-
ry, and use all three every day, as long as
you live.”

The remarkable fact can be stated that this
is theonlySiats that has come out of the
war with a reduction of its State debt. No
State will ever more ready with money and
men, but early the lesson was learned to
“pay as you go," and taxation was resorted
to instead of, borrowing. The State debt is
now $13,500,751 ; and in 1868 it was $14,-
250,233. Were the State to tax itself as
much the coming year as in 1864, the whole
debt would be extinguished. It should also

Correspondence of: the Gazette,
Mussns. Enrrons—fiYqu, published a com-
zelte, from “ One of the Auditors” of Town
Accounts, in reply to my communication of
the previous week, in regard to the “Report
of the Auditors," published in your paper of
the 2d inst; in which "he omits to say a
' single word in reply 't0'_that~which I stated
was incorrect in their‘report." Let us look at
the facts of this matter. .In_the report of the
Auditors, published, they state, “the amount
expended in repairing Highways for the cur-
rent year is $4,427.50, bring $1,717.91 more
than. was expended the previous year.” I
,Town 'did root appropriate in all as much
not, I thought, correct. _1"now_ wish .to say
that the" books of the Solicinien show it to:
beincorrect. In‘ the communication of ‘one
of the Auditor's," referred to above, he states
the selectmsn “have vouchers'for the follow.
ing amounts paid,” and borehe stem-why
did not he continue-on, andfssy in accord-l
lance with. lthd: Auditorszeport, "“p'sldfor

amount they state, weepaid-by the Select-
men, and properly chargedhythem to High-
wey Account, . but. I def. deny that this
amount was paid as the Auditors stated, for]
repaii‘fi} to Highways for the'current year.
The first three charges: by: ‘the selectmen
paid the current year. ending. 30th November-
last, ere-bills oi. Highvv'if‘Slirvcyors of the

year, andso stated on ' the-‘Bsgleelmcn’e books,

ways for the current year.": : ‘ .
If the town vote to' accept'm'ew. roads, and
appropriate money to work them, it is not
money “expended ' in repairing highways,”
—the town voted to accept ‘ a, continuation
of Elizabeth street. South Norwalk," now
“One of the Auditors" in his items to make
up the $4,427.50, puts down paid .“repairs on
Elizabeth street, $147,"—-the bill of Mr. clo-
fut for the work, does not say repairs, and
the charge on ’the books of the Selectmen
does not any repairs, and it was not for re-
pairs, but for working the new road, and
therefore not for “repairing Highways for the
current year." This Auditor says “repairs
on Reed‘s Island Road, $4.75"--the Select.
'men' charge it for work on new road to Reed’s
Island. and not on repairs. The charge
paid Mr. Hanford $3 for work on Highways.
I know nothing about, it was I suppose.
what “the Selectmen deemed for the interest
of the Town to expend," and “did not pass
through the hands of the Superintendent.”
$4.75 and $3 from the amount, $4,427.50
charged by the Selectmen paid during the
current year, and not being “expended in
repairing Highways” for said year—unless it
mav be the $3 to Mr. Hsnford—leaves $3;
903. 04—the amount I stated was the actual
amount expended for repairs to Highways
the current year was $3,903.07—here is ava-
riation of three cents, I have not time now
to ascertain themeause.
been better for this “One of the Auditors,”
in .,his reply, ,to have stated the facts,—that
the amount. stated by them as expended for
repairs to highways the current year just
ended, was not exactly correct; that to make
up the amount, bills of the previous year,
for work of the previous year, and also ex-
pense for working new roads were included.

Dunner P. ELY,

Masses. Entrees—In your last issue
“One of the Auditors” made a mistake in
stating the amount paid for work in High-
way Dietrict No. 6. It should be as follows:
Amount of 1st appropriation, $899.00
or which was paid to other parties
because not worked out before .
July 1st, 88.19
