The Senator-ship again.
The following very 'able, very- just, and
very truthful statement of the Senatorial
question we copy from the Brulgwt Stand
a'Ird. It cove". the entire groundwithout
exaggeration of any single fact, and whatev-
er may be the personal preferences of any,
its arguments cannot be controverted. Aside
from thellocal importance, and the-interest
we of the western part of the State have in
securing the position for our section, we are
also confident that no fair-minded gentleman
in the Iiegisla'ture, or elsev‘vhere, can deny
the fairness and force of our claim for the
position :— .
Upon the Le 'slature soon to assemble.
will devolve the important du. Of deciding
who unong the worthy sons 0 Connecticut
shall represent this good old Common-
wealth in the Senate of the United St_ates.—
Many names have been mentioned . in con-
nection with this _ofice, but the chOice will
robably fall upon either Senator Foster,
Governor Buckin ham, or General 0. S.
Ferry, and we sha 1, therefore, merely state
the arguments made with reference to each
of these three. »
The friends of Mr. Foster urge thathe is
aman of good capacity and character, of
large legis ative experience, dignified and
courteous in demeanor, and that being the
President pro tom of the Senate, he will be-
come President of the United Statesgin case
ofthe decease of Mr. Johnson, while his re-
cent Vetoes and his steadfast adherence to.
the majority in Congr‘ are sufficient evi-
dence of histadicalism. inst these claims
it is urged that though Mr. Foster possesses
considerable abilit , yet he is not by far the
ablest man of the tats, that he has failed to
make for himself a national reputation
though he has served for nearly twelve years
in the Senate, that 'though he has always
acted with his party, 'yet he has shown no
zeal for its measures, and taken so little in-
te t in its success that he neither came
born to speakuor even to vote, 'in the recent
desperate election; that though Senators
and members of the House from neighbor-
ing and, even distant States put themselves
to great inconvenience in order to save the
State, yet Mr. Foster remained in Washing-
ton apparently indifi‘erent as to thc result.—
It is stated that he has make himself inac-
cessibleto ourcitizens during his long Sena-
torial career, and that they have been obliged
in consetmence, to seek the assistance of oth-
er members of Congress, instead of receiving
his aid, while the argument derivedfrom his
present position as President pro tem‘ of the
Senate, is met by the constitutional provis-
ion that the President of the Senate only be-
comes the ading President until by a speabl
eleca'm. a President can be chosen; conse-
quently in the event of Mr. Johnson’s decease,
Mr. Foster could ' only become the acting
President fora ;very short period, and it is
further stated that Mr. Fester will» not prob-
ably remain the President of the Senate lon-
ger than March 4th, 1867, since it is the uni-
form practice oi the Senate to change its
President to fem every two years ;. there-
fore even r.‘ Foster’s chance of being an
acting Presrdent will terminate ten months
from the present time, and it is further urged
that the holding of this office is rather an
argument against Mr. Faster than in his fa-
vor, since the» Senate never has placed its
ablest men in that position. In proof of
which it is remarked that neither Daniel
Webster, Henry Clay, Thomas C. Benton,
Stephen A». Douglas,l:ienry Wilson, Charles
Sumner, nor in fact, any man of marked abil-
ity, was ever chosen to that oflice. It is,
therefore, claimedto be a mark of mediocrity
than hon’or. .. Ifthis is so, then the sooner
Connecticut hasa Senator who will not be
‘placed in that post, the better it will be for
her credit, and advantage. If is urged that
Mr. Foster has been phleg'matic in action,
never coming up to a hearty interest in the
principles of the party, generally falling be-
low the spirit of the occasion, sometimes go-
ing counter to the wishes of his constituents,
never showing any life, energy, or interest in
behalf of the men or measures of his party.
It is understood that Mr. Foster is anx-
ious for reelection ; that. he is writing letters
to difi‘erent members of lhe Legislature in
order to'gain their support, and it is known
that these letters have not always secured
their object. If the choice of Senator was
left to the people many assert that. Mr. Fee
for would fail of an election. . '
In favor of GOVERNOR Bucxnvenan, it is
urged that he is a man' of incorruptible in.-
fegrity, of sound. judgment, of true and tried
patriotism, that he would be a credit to the
state in any ofilce, &c., &c. Against him we
have no ' objections whatsoever, but as
he has announced ‘his’ inclination to remain
in private 1ile,'-for ‘she present, at least, we
will not speak further in regard to him'.
The friends of O. S. FERRY say that in
ability he has'no superior in the state ; as a
public speaker no equal ;, that he is an ac-
tive wideawake, energetic, unflinching advo-
cate Of those great principles upon which the
Union Party is founded. That he is earnest
and conscientious in hisviews; in the meri-
dian of his life; of supu‘ior legal attainments;
of legislative experience; in short, that he
possesses every quality to make himself at
once an influential and leading member of
the Senate. In him the Union Party would
find a pillar of strength and the state would
be honored by the ability and integrity of
its Senator. We do not hear that any one-
‘ controverts these claims, but on the contrary
they are generally conceded.
. In a comest before the people itis asserted
that Gen. Ferry would be triumphantly se-
lected for our'next senator in preference to
all others as he is conceded to possessriuau
eminent degree, precisely those qualities
which the people most need in their Senator
during these times.
It is known that Gen. Ferry, on his return
from the army, designed to devote his life
.rexclhswely to the practice of his profession,
but in compliance with the many urgent re-
quests, received by. him from every portion
of the state, it is presumed that he will give
up that determination and accept the office
of Senator if it is ofi‘ered to him by the Leg-
islature. »
The people of Fairfield County especially
favor his election not only on account of his
peculiar fitness for the office, but also because
they justly feel that the western part of the
- state has been practicall ignored in the mat:
ter of important ofiices or a ver -long time.
It is nearly thirty years since a . S. Senator
has béen sent from Fairfield County and at
the present time there is not a single citi~
zen of t ' county in any prominent ofiice,
either at e or national, except Lie‘ut. Gov.
Averill, whose term expires this week. The
people he_re have acquiesced in this state of
things quietly for many years,'but they feel
as they now offer the best man in the whole
state for the office in question, their claims
should be heard and that the state should do
itself the credit of sending General 0. S. Fer-
ry to the United States Senate.

'The regular semi-annual meeting of the

six from New Canaan. Reports of a flatter-
ing character were received from fifteen Sub-
ordinate Divisions, ,embraci'ng 1,018 mem-
bers, and 1280 lady Visitors. The session
continued all day, and the delegates from
abroad were entertained by members and vis~

walk 'to ward off the Cholera '2
TM pestilence has come within fifty miles
0f 0'8. Inafew weeks it will be creeping
along our shores and sending its victims in
our midst. Then, all causes of disease,
which, in ordinary seasons, induce diarrhrna,
dysentery, fever and ague, typus, and ty-
phoid will become sources of cholera. Filth
is one'of those causes. Damp, close cellars
is another. Decaying vegetable matter isa
third. How many cellars contain it? Stag-
natii'ig waters are another. The foul pool by
the Rail Road station, at South Norwalk, is
areservOir of disease, which in a cholera
season will become cholera.
What how, shall be done? Fortunately
the statutes of the State provide abundantly
for the exigepcy, if we will avail ourselves
of those provisions. The Selectmen and Joe-
twsa of the Peace constitute the BOARD‘OE
HEALTH. The Board of Health has au~
thority to remove all these causes ,of pestif
lence, and the selectmen may convene the.
Board by an hour’s notice if they choose.
Moreover the expense of removal, must, in
most cases, be borne by the person, on
whose premises the causes of disease have
pond at South Norwalk can be drained, and
the land sold to defray the expense, if its
unknown owner shall not appear and pay it.
Primarily, indeed, the town may have to
expend considerable sums for the immediate
removal of these nuisances, but always with
a claim over against the owners.
_ Shall there be any longer delay? Not
considering the danger to human life, only,
let the merchants and business men .of Nor-
walk reflect how half a dozen cases of cholg
era in any part of the town,_would drive
from us the current of trade from the back
country, and paralyze all,trafiic, and they
’will realize thatit is cheapest to take the
preventive course suggested. ‘
Let the Selectmen, then, convene the
Board of Health at once. No town meeting
is necessary. The civil authority is chosen
for the protection Of the cemmunity. Let
them act. _' .
Since the above wasin type, our Borough
authorities have taken 'the matter in hand,
and we would direct special attention to their
card published in another column, and urge
upon our citizens the importance of carrying
out their suggestions immediately. We trust
the newly appointed Board of Health will
commence their duties at once and distin-
guish themselves by promptness and efficien-
cy.

The Presidency of the Senate.
The opposition press are straining to fill
in the recent discussion of the retention of
Mr. Foster'in his present position, some sort
of covert attack upon that gentleman.
Nothing is more unjust or farther from the
truth. Mr. Foster takes the sameview as
we do, ail'd expects his term as President
pro-tempera, to expire, and a new election to
take place, just as much as anybody else.
As no predecessor has been reelected, it
isn’t expected that he will be, and there is
nothing ungenerous'to him in that fact.

one is, if Mr. Foster is returned to the Senl

hibition of Messrs. Ellinger & Foote and the
Continental Vocalists closed last evening at
Aqulidneck Hall, to a crowded and highly
respectable audience. The Lilliputian por-
tion of the programme constitutes of itself
one of the most attractive exhibitions that
can be imagined. Nothing in the way of
humanity in minature, was ever seen so re=
markable as Commodore Foote, Miss Nes-
tle and Colonel Small; not even excepting
the redoubtable Tom Thumb and his com-
panion. Indeed in this curious'form of na-
ture’s freaks, these three “little folks" stand
unrivalled in the world. _ .
Their performances, too are of the most
perfect order, artistic, beautiful, unique and
f'as'cinating. - The wonderful talents displayed
by Commodore Foote, as a commedian, ac-
tor and dancer, in addition to his being the
smallest man in the world- the dancing
and singing and recitations of the little fairy
Nestelle, so spirituelle and so pleasing, and
_the success of Colonel Small in his role of
a .female character dancer,‘ are quite sufil-
Cient to constitute arr entertainment of rare
attractions, and would always insure large
audience‘s. But when we come' to add the
powerful attractions of the altogether unri-
valled Continental Quartette,‘whose music‘
was acknowledged by'all present, last even
plug, to be of the highest order;‘refined;
' stirring, pleasing and affecting, we have an
entertainment unsurpassed.

THE MAJORITY.—Il‘. is a remarkable fact

J. D. CANDEE, ESQ.—DEAR 'Siii: Thiin k 1
you for your editorial in the last STANDARD, 3
on United States Senator. It is just the
lhing. O. S. Ferry is the man for all Fair-
field county men toinsist on as their Cillldl-
date. ~
We have a candidate as true and unswcv-
ing as the truest and most uncompromising,
who believes in the people as the soucre of
all power andhonor, who will not trim or
flatter or change sides to please and fawn up-
on the dispensers of place and patronage,aud
who has no superior in ability and statesman-
ship in the States—who after a few years in
the United States Senate, would stand on
the same plane with the eat men of that
body, and would ive to onnecllcuta pre-
eminence in the ational Legislature.
U. S. SENATOR AGAIN.—.We are gratified
to find our remarks regarding the Senator
ship of .last week, naming Gen. Ferry can
probably. candidate, responded to by a num-
ber of our exchanges. . We hope the ball will
be kept rolling. till the claims, both of Gen.
Ferry and the Western portion of the State,
are acknowledged. We see by the Jrz'lmne
that the ofllce of President pro tem. may
change hands, and if so there can be no pos-
sible reason for the re-election of Foster.
We go for Gen. 0. S. Ferry. Who says nay
to so tried a patriot? . Jefersoni'an.
. " But if this objection be made and a
chan e in the Senatorship be determined on,
then esteru Connecticut would put in her
claims and nominate— ' .
Hon. Onms S. FERRY, of Fairfield Coun-
ty as her candidate. Mr. Ferry is a man of
talent, a distinguished speaker, a brave sold-
ier, a'n outspoken patriot, faithful to his con-
victions of right and justice and to the inter-
ests of freedom. Mr. Ferry would honor the
nomination.”—Stamford Adoocafe. -

when they scarcely know, indeed, in what direction
to turn, with the view of securing a suit oraportion
of a suit of' clothes, for themselves or their sons, at
anything like a reasonable (not to any rational)

reasonable rate Well, then to'be frank and above
