Contrary to the eXpectation of many of the President’s most intimate friends and cordial supporters, he has seen fit to return the Civ- il Rights bill 'with a Veto, more lame in ar- .gument, more offensive in the low arts of ‘the demagogue, than its predecessor. What . the action of Congress will be in the matter, is not fully ascertained. It is confidentially ' stated thatit can be passed over the veto by more than the requisite two thirds in either but whether it may not be better to amend the law in some minor details and give the executive another opportunityto approve or reject, ia a‘ question to be consrd- .eIed. Meantime the questions whether the President has or has not taken up his bed ' again with the Copperheads, will be revived with increased interest and more intense anxiety. If~ Republicans are forced to part company with President Johnson, it will be with sincere regret and because he chooses to force the issue, and not that we desire, or would not by all means, short of base sur- render of blood-bought principles, avert it. Nevertheless, we cannot be blind to the teach- ings of history, if we would. We can but remember that Judas was a disciple; Tom Paine oucé a christian, Benedict Arnolda ' United States soldier. And the attitude of President Johnson, in the canvass just termi- nated, has been, to say the least, of a charac- ter to inspire more encouragement, hope and confidence, in the hearts of Cosperheads, than of those who labored most zealously to _ save the Nation and elevate him to power. «i. . “Treason should be made 0di- . - one.” Of all the combined influences of evil I. with which the Republican party has had to contend, in its present struggle, none have been more ignoble, d icable and mean, ' than the course of the New York Times. The Herald has been filled with abuse and sheets of .our. principles and candidates—but the Herald was-wont to speak of the New York riots, incited by the same disloyal spirits that have contended for the mastery here, as.“ an uprising of the people,”-—and the Union party of Connecticut could have had inserted , the same amount of billingsgate against their opponents at the same cost in cash.. _ But the janus faced Times, professing a partizan friendship, and after receiving a most generous support from Connecticut Re- publicans, has availed itself of every possi- ble opportunity to stab and wound, not our candidates merely, but the principles upon which the Times has fed and fattened. If it is true, as stated, that its loss of subscribers has been counted by the thousands, it is no more than a just retribution for its perfidy. ~ If it is hereafter to be run in the interest of the copperhead party, let it have the com- mon decency to so avow itself, and not pro- ‘ fess a regard for its former Republican pat- rons and friends while making every exer- tion to restore the sway of their enemIes. FAs'r DAY was very generally observed by a suspension of business, and by religious services in all our Churches. .‘.>. FENIAN MEETINe.-—Hon. B; D. Killian and Col. P. J. Downing are advertised to address a Fenian meeting at Ely’s Hall, to-V night. . a.-. PUBLIC MEETINGs.—The crowded house at Norwalk Hall, last Wednesday night, to hear E. S. Cleveland, shows the value of ad- vertising in the GAZETTE. Mr. C. was found to be “no great shakes after a1 ," and it is the general impression of those who heard him, that the Democracy, for once at least, “paid too dear for the whistle.” On Saturday night, Perrin the Great, held forth at the same Hall until half-past nine o’clock, when he left for Bridgeport to instruct the democ- racy how to vote. After he left, his audi- ence adjourned to Lockwood's Hall, to listen to the eloquent speeches of Gens. Ferry and Woodford. That was a grand good meeting at Lock- wood‘s Hall, on Saturday night last, and was well attended, notwithstanding the rain. Asa B. Woodward, Esq, presided, and Hon. Carlton, T. Lewis, of N. Y., made the open-l ing address, which was much admired. Col. W. M. 'Grosvenor, of the New Haven Couri- er, followed in an excellent and spicy speech. Gen. Ferry made one of his really splendid speeches, and the meeting closed with an el- oquent speech from Gen. Stewart L. Wood‘- ford, stirring upsthelenthuiasm of the audi- dience tothe highest pitch. The Norwalk Band furnished music. .‘ g >- E‘We publish the following statement from a friend of the late Mr. Charles Good- year :— “ Mr. Postmaster, Cleveland is charged with having received from Mr. Wm.Jndson ofN. Y., the sum of $41,000, in the Good- year Patent case in Congress last winter and of having rendered no account. Mr. J ud— son opposed Ihe£XtenSIOn of the Patent, and wast/misled by Mr. Cleveland! they succeeded in'def‘ealir-g the bill, but whether Mr. Cleve- land made use of such arguments as those stated by his present political opponents-I am not prepared to state, but only seek in behalf of the family of Mr. Goodyear, to re- move the impression that would naturally follow the statement that THEY used money to obtain votes in Congress.” ' By referring to Mr. Hall’s letter, it will be seen that he does not state on which side of - the controversy Mr. Cleveland was employ- ed; the foregoing renders it clear that he - was employod to oppose the renewal and we are happy to do justice to the family of Mr. Goodyear. ‘ «.p-P—_ WStephen Kelley, who was tried on Thursday last, forthe murder of his wife at ~ Stamford-last January, was found guilty of manslaughter in the third degree. . 0‘.» WThe Eclipse of the moon,—the only one we are to have this year—came off as , per previous announcement, punctually at V. the appointed time, on Friday night last.

E. Church on Sunday last were very interesting, and were attended by large numbers from other denominations. In the afternoon some forty converts were admit ted to the church on probation. We under- stand that about 150 persons have been con- verted during the present revival in that church. The church during the evening was crowded with people from all denomi- nations, drawn together for the purpose of listening to the farewell sermon of Rev. S. H. Smith, who has been with this society for the three years last past. The services were very effecting, and much sorrow Was manifested in parting with the minister whom they had all learned to love. Seldom does a minister succeed in gaining the afiec- tion and love of a whole people, as Rev. Mr. Smith-has done, and all who know him re- gret that he is obliged to leave us, especially in the midst of a revival promising such great results. _ _ At the Baptist Tabernacle, South.

His game is to ride Into town, stop in some public place, gather a crowd about him and then proceed to sell jewelry at auction at less than its real value; viz: first a $10 greenback for $9; a $5 bill for $4; smaller denominations~ and currency in the same proportion; then he ofiers a little jewelry at‘ your own price and, your money back, this is’eagerly bid off, the money paid in and given back, with remarks that he already has more money than he knows what to do with, and that this isjust advertising; then he winds up the sale in that quarter, moves off a little distance and commences again. This time after a few” small sales he sells Lockets at $5 apiece" but without promising to return the money, and after he has sold all that he can readily, he announces that that sale was genuine, pock- ets the money and rides off, leaving a quan— tity of Brass Lockets in the hands of his poor dupes.

A lady enquired of' our faithful “Stephen” for a letter, who upon examination informed her that. there was a dead letter hearing her address, Willi three cents postage charged thereon. The lady received it with great emotion, and frantic with grief, hurried to a store near by, and requested, through broken sobs, a friend to break the seal, and read to her the melan- choly tidings it contained, assuring lIIm that some of her relnliws were dead. It took a long time for her friend to convince her that the epietle was oncof her own compositi bus which had been returned to her from the Dead Letter Office, and that it contained no intelligence of a mournful nature. At length she became passified and made to see that there was no real cause for her grief, and she left the store lighter hearted, and perhaps wiser than when she entered. Stephen must be careful in future how he delivers “dead matter." _ fig.-.” WA century and a halfago, Dean Swift told the people of Ireland that the true se- cret of national prosperity was to_ “ Carry out bring in those of others as little manufactured as the nature of mutual commerce will al- low."

Yet as I am stepping down the hill of life I see a host of eager persons, some just commencing their course, others pressing forward and upward, some even at the apex, and looking still and laboring to ascend; this 'they soon discover may not, can not be, and slowly, it may be, they at first find themselves crowd. ed onward and downward. My desire is to aid, so far as I miy, those commencing the ascent.’ Some appear to be carrying heavy burdens. and the more inconvenient for the lack of the knowledge as how best to adjust or to evenly balance the weight. Per- haps the school-book story in my earlier days may better illustrate my meaning. It is stated that a youth on his way to the country grist-mill was met bya man of‘ some experience, who noticed that the bag upon the back of the animal, and which .also made the only saddle-seat for the youngbter,.had apparently grain in one end only, to balance which a stone appeared to be in the opposite end. He, thinking to do the lad a kindness, advised him to discard the stone as unnecessary weight, then to divide his grain as nearly equal as might be, and proceed with his lighter and enlightened load. The youth declined to do so, saying, “Father done so, and I guess it is good enough for me—so come up, old boss.” I would say to ”Naula,” though not a “ scientific man," I have been somewhat familiar with this good old town of Norwalk “ from my youth up," it having been the early home of my sire and also of my grand- sfre. The latter was in early life a sailor, and in manhood first mate of avesse‘. sailing from this port to the West Indies, taking live stock from this port, and for return cargo the products of the West India Islands. There were then, as now, some (may I be permitted to make use of so nndignified language) Old Fogies. I can find nothing in my vocabulary to better express my views. These men. or things— call them as you please—discouraged the trade. They had some money invested—this was withdrawn g-to pay which, vessels were sold, 350. Bridgeport, then an inconsiderable town, reached out her hand and grasped this trade. She soon out stripped Old Norwalk. Her before dormant ener- gies were aroused, and now they are a people wide awake and ready to embrace every branch of honest industry. There was a time, too, when it was pro- ‘posed to establish an extensive saddle and harness manufactory, but obstacles were thrown in the way. Bridgeport reached out her hand and said, “ Come in." Several other branches have met with similar treatment. I will venture to name one or more. But a short time since a man—native born, one who has for many years been absent from the home of his parentage-had, as he believed. made a discovery that could here be made both useful and valuable It was not from selfish views or any great pecuniary advantage it was expected to be to himself, as he has passed his three-score-and-ten years of life, but to his native town and home he desired to be the re- cipients in great measure, as here he knew was ma- terial, doc. This discovery was the making of paper stock from the sedge and salt grasses along our coast and harbors. He prepared samples, showing that this material was capable of being made into paper of the best quality, at much less cost than that of rags. He met but little encouragament. A gentle- man of New York. well acquainted with thIs man, sends to him and says, " Come here, I have the means and feel satisfied and confident of your ability to carry “is to valuable results if not to perfection," and we have let him go. I have enumerated cases sufficient to show the lack of enterprise in this by nature one of the most healthy and beautiful locations on our coast, or, I think, in the world. Having traveled over a good portion of‘ two continents, if there be finer scenery I have failed to see it. It has been proposed, in a former communication, that some improvements be made not only to beau- tify but to utilize and make room for an increase of population. ' First. a dam and travel bridge at South Norwalk. The object of such dam is to give and keep a stage of high water above, so that vessels of from four to six feet draft may pass up or down at any time from the Bridge to the dam, or from the dam up to the Bridge. The harbor, now, from neglect. has become almost useless for navigation. My friend “Nauta " takes a widely different view from myself. He says it will cause the channel to be. soon so filled up as to pre- vent vessels from ceming up at all. My views are, that, by means of such dam as proposed, where we now havejour feet of water in the channel, weshall or may have, at full tide, six feet, and if there should be a littfe of enterprise, a good channel may be opened in a line that shall conduct the water to the dam in the most direct line from the present up-town docks. To prevent such channel from filling up, as “Naula” supposes it may, I propose that at times, when there are heavy rains or any considerable fresh- et, the Draw at South Norwalk be left open for one or more tides—the entire pond being thus drawn off, leaving simply the stream caused by the freshet to course or rnn through said channel to the draw, and out. - It appears to me it would not only clear said channel, but deepen and widen it. The channel, it is said by those who know, is gradually changing, . and in the past few years such has been the changes that one who was a good pilot a few years since could not now find his way at high tjde. , The people of South Norwalk, though as yet they may not have so abundant'rneans, have enterprise, and that will be made to create means. Soon, or at least within a few years, some up-town gentleman may see, in crossing the railroad bridge or in passing up or down the harbor, a long row of posts or spiles driven in front of the meadows on the west side, be- low the present docks. Rocks and debris from the heights in the back ground will be rolling and'dri- ving in to fill up the now low meadows and prepar- ing them for do cks, storehouses, coal and lumber yards, &c., &c. This done, what vessel will ever at- tempt or even her Captain think of trying to reach the docks up-town. I hone the other and better side, it' such there be, may be shown by “Nelda." Massive. Enrrons: I had penned the foregoing when your paper con- taining "Harbor Improvements" came to hand. There is little that needs a further reply than is con- tained in the preceding. First. the cost of such darn as would be required the writer (without a name or sobriquet) says would probably be “Three Hundred Thousand Dollars.” I would like the contract for a much less sum. This is not, however, a matter of many words. The writer of the article under con: siderntion, I think, could not have perused my first article, or- he would not have made the cost an ob- jection, as I stated that when the N. Y. and N. H. Railroad was first projected I was authorized to sound the people on, this subject. The Railroad Company asked permission to Construct a permanent travel bridge or dam, over which the railroad bridge would be built. The Company were willing to be at the entire expense, believing that with such dam and bridge the structure for the railroad bridge would be safer and more durable. I called on the business men to know their views for or against such a dam and bridge. I obtained the signatures of but three men—so the bridge was abandoned. It will soon be necessary to rebuild the railroad bridge, and I was inquired of as to what might be the prospects at the present time. As I could not say, I sent out my first article on this subject as a feeler, and was satisfied it would be of no use to do more. It was to correct a wrong impression, viz.,. that the cost of such dam would come on the town. Another objection is the ice in winter. Well, we have had a specimen of this the present winter. The harbor has been as completely locked as though its entire length were bridged over, and no attempt has been made to open a passage. I can remember when there was more energy than at present—when there were three regular packet sioops sailing weekly from the Bridge. Then there was life and business ani- mation. Then, in the season of ice, men were em- ployed wif h axes, saws, 830., and theway was opened. These men are gone, and the business also, and I believe past recall. ' The little I possess is uptown, yet, were 1 a young man, and wished to do business, South Norwalk would have the preference. The en- terprise of one man has done much to prolong the business existence of this point by buildIng the Horse Rul‘rond. True, there tire a few individuals that ventured afew dollars in this railroad, and 801- , ing it pays, some others Would if they could take i stock in In.- snme, yet. this r Iilroadcnn only tempura.- rily prolong the decaying business. Pare water. is greatly needed. and could ht: had nf . small expense, yet it is not. The latest proposal for a supply, I think, is a hydraulic rain to force the river water up to the hand of‘ the‘Bridge. This water is at.~ no time fit for family use, yet necessity would «use it to be used if it cost nothing. It cannot be done without expense, and will Ilibrefore be aban- gonad. Iwill only add one item more, and say that an ice - boat in such pond as I heve proposed would. at tri- sing expense. keep 2.1 shears! open through the ice in winter. , _ , “The Other Side“ is invited to reply and bring l forward every feasible objection. It is by agitation #53- Thdfiffh billiard match for champion- ship of this State occurred in Hart ford on Tuesday evening.

Rich southerners are buying nice residen- ces in the fashionable parts of Boston, and are going to live there. Over twenty first- class houses there have lately, been purchase ed by southerners, who say they made for- tufibs during the war, and have come North to invest it. A splendidly executed but spurious fifty- dollartreasury note of the new series, 1863, has made its appearance. Almost the only difference from the genuineis the signature of the treasurer,which is a little coarser. The new fifty cent currency, with Gen.
