Another Philadelphia Coven-
tion.
The month of September will witness an-
other assemblage of men prominent in the
politics of the 'country. Those from the
North are best represented perhaps in the
characters of such men as Governor, Buck-
ingham of our own State, Senators Morgan
and Harris of New York, Governor An-
, .drews and others ot Massachusetts. It is
rndadless to state that Fernando and Ben
, Wood, Vsllandingbam, and Vorhees are not
, invited thither.
' From the South, we miss the names of
I On- and of Dick Taylor, but we gladly rec-
ognize such nnfalterlng unionists as Judge
Underwood of Va Gov. Hahn of La, Judge
Bingham. of Alabama, Judge Sherwood and
A. J. Hamilton of Texas. Men, who during
‘ all the fierce riot of rebellion remained true
1 to the old flag. Their property burned and
confiscated, their families outraged and they
hunted to the swamps and mountains by the
' bloodthirsty crew; yet despite all this ruin
.‘of prosperity and peril of life, they remain-
ed true to the Government. It could not be
. expected that these men should befound fra-
' te'rni’zing inadumb mass convention with
those, gentlemen from tne north, who, during
all _ the. terrible war did and said all they
dared do or say in aid of said rebellion.
. Forgiveness is the revenge of magnanim-
‘lfty and gladly would we throw the veil of a
forgiving charity over the desolated South;
but we do not read that the Prodigal propos-
ed as a condition precedent upon accepting
his repast of veal. that he should rule ' his
father’s household. The arrogance of the
" “my policy" plan of reconstruction is of a
' ' part and parcel of the spirit which inaugura-
rsdthc rebellion. With two hundred thou-
,- sand Union soldiers' graves pleading for jus-
' ties, with the near two millions more who
have rammed to gladden their northern
homes, whatfimadness, what stark idiocy, for
a law office holding and omce hoping politi-
cians,t‘o suppase that they can delude the
American people into a total surrender of ev- .
anything that was saved by the fearful scourge
. of w‘ar. ' . 4

’ Our County Fair.
- ,The time is rapidly approaching when
”1 ,thfir'tima honored festival will be again upon
us. The backwardness of the season and
the cold August just closing, may prevent
that rare and abundant display of. fruits
_-vegetables and cereals" for the which our ex-
"hibitions have been so justly celebrated.
z'l‘his is at least possible if not entirely prob-
‘ 'abla and first our farmers should begin to
feednp and brush up their fine stock. There
is probably no county in the state possessing
“-b‘etter specimens of wnrkiug cattle, milch
cow‘s,sheep, swine and especially poultry;
" While we may be deficient in merely fast
horses, we believe we can fairly beat the
State in farm, work and family road horses-
f' A special effort should be made to get all
.h'ase out to the coming Fair. Then, too,
. the merchants and artisans of Norwalk have
a'duty' they owe to themselves and to the
‘town' to fill up in a better and more credit-
, .nble manner than ever before, the inside or
’ . tent department. Why not call a meeting
at once and appoint a local committee to ar-
range for such a display from our towns
people as shall be creditable to Norwalk.
Last year the simple introduction of a pot-
er's wheel by Commodore Merrill, attracted
more interesttban any othrrdozen articles
or- exhibition, and our towil could furnish
many such items of attraction. All that is
”needed is united and prompt action. Now
.istbe time to move. Let the meeting-b -

1, Qen Sheridan, in a dispatch to the Presi-
dent about the New Orleans troubles, says :—
1 2 Citrus no riot. It was antlbsolnte massa-
cre by the police, which was not excelled in
murderous cruelty by that of Fort Pillow.
It was a murder which the Mayor and Po-
. ’ lice or the city perpetrated without the shad-
.owo'f a necessity. Furthermore, I believe
it to be premeditated, anc every indication
points to this. I recommend the removing
‘ of this bad man.

The Second Regiment is commanded-by
composed of four Infantry~companies from
New Haven, two from Waterbury, one from
Meriden, one from Derby, one from Anso-
nia,’and one from Branfofd.
The Wheeler 85 Wilson Band, of Bridge-
port, is Regimental Band for the Eighth
Regiment, and the famous Tompkin’s Band,
of Waterbury, for the Second Regiment.
The Norwalk, Greenwich, New Canaan,
Bidgefield and Bethe] companies went over
on the mail train, this a. m., which leaves
Norwalk at 9 o’clock. _
Gen. Kellogg, who assumes command of
the Brigade for the first time, we, hear in-
tends to have no “instruction officer" to drill
the Brigade, but will rely upon himself: He
has a valuable and capable assistant in the
the person of his senior colonel, and also in
Col. Morwin of the Second Regiment. .
The Eighth Regiment goes into camp with
three new companis, making ten in all.
There has been a change in the Field 0111-
cers since last encampment. Major Height
having been promoted Lieut. 001., and Capt.
Hoyt made Major. Both of these gentlemen
are excellent officers and with a little experi-
ence we are confident will fill their new posi-
tions with credit to themselves and satisfac-
tion to all.
There have also been quitea number of
changes in several of the companies since
last year. The New Canaan c9nlpany goes
into camp, we believe, with new commis-
sioned ofilcers throughout. The Ridgefield
company has anew 2d Lient; The Green-
wich company has a new Captain, owing to
the promotion of Capt. Hoyt, and newLieuts.
The Burnside Guards, South Norwalk, also
have a new Capt. and 2d Lieut. a
According to the Adjutant General’s Re-
port, as per muster of Feb. 22, 1866, the
Brigade has a force of 87 oflicers and 1,855
enlisted men. As recruiting has been quite
brisk since that time the number is now
probably much larger.
Gov. Hawley is expected to encamp with
the Brigade for several days. ,The Board
for the ex’aminafion of Ofi‘ieers, appointed
by the Governor, according to law, has been
changed this season, and now consists of
Brig. General Edward Harland, Brig. Gen.
Theodore G. Ellis, Col. Gct‘rrge P. Bissell,
and Capt. Leonard A. Dickinson. The Board
will, at'this encampment examine each com-
missioned ofiicer of the brigade.
It is expected that the Brigade will take
part in the ceremonies of laying the corner
stone of a Soldiers’ Monument, at the new
See Side Park, on Wednesday. The Inspec-
tion and Review will take place on Thurs-
day.

The Danhury Dramatic Co.
We are assured that the performance of
“The Drunkard," at Lockwood’s Hall, by
the Temperance Dramatic Company, of
Daubnry, will be well worth witnessing, and
trust these amateurs will receives warm
welcome from our citizens. Read the fol-
lowing notice from the Daubury‘ limes : .
[Ezlracl’from Danbury Times of Bay 8d .]
The unpleasant weather of yesterday afternoon
and evenln , threatened to interfere with the filling
of Concert all, by our citizens who desired .to
witness the entertainment of the Temperance So-
clery, but so great was the interest excited in the
matter.fhat despite the dripping, diea reeable moist-
ure outside, inside the Hall was fill to its utmost
capacity, scores being unable to find seats. The
contented look of those standing was swell-paid
compliment to the pinyin , and the orderly deport-
ment of such a large an ience. generally, was not
only flattering to the managers, but very creditable
tothemselves. The stage fixtures were arranged
guite nicely, and contributed largely to the good ef-
ect of the playing. The street scene was line, also
those of the country. and the cottage, and were evi-
dences that the managers had spared neither labor
nor expense to render the affair a pleasure andn
pride to our townspeople; and wears happy to in-
orm them that may succeeded admira v. The
a thorough discipline in the carrying out of the
same. The hero of the drama, Edward Middleton.
(Mr. .B. F. Bailey) did full justice to his role. and
from his first appearance as the wealthy and hon or-
ed citizen,tbrough his marriage ceremony, the vil.
lags bar-room, the desolate home-scene, the wander-
lugs in astrange city, the terrible disgrace, down to
the lowest round of the ladder, to the return of rea- ‘
son, the climbing back to manhood. and the final
redemption—acted well hrs part, and was wannl
' and fre uently up lauded. .Mary Wilson (Miss .
Stewart as the wi e of the fallen man, gave a faith-
ful delineation of the enfi'erings of rnms principal
victim-the helpless, wife. : The midnight scene in
the garret,—with the starving, sleeping child, and the
shivering, heart-broken mother, was the very pic-
ture of esolation. as was the re-union of the pray-
ing wife and saved husband the icture of domestic
hap inees. Josie Smith as 1111 e Julia. did finely,
as so Miss Josie Raymond as Agnes. the maniac.
Their-rt of Mrs. Wilson, Mary‘s mother, was taken
by lss L. Wildman. and performed In a creditable
manner. Lorenzo Cribbs the scheming rascal, the
unblushing, hardened Cribbs, was performed by ‘Mr.
R, G. Lee, in a manner that drew forth atoms of
applause. We hardly think this character could be
battered by an amateur, and there are some profes-
sionals who could profitably take lessons from M 1‘.
Lee. At his everyappearsnce he was greeted wit [1
satisfaction and every tum in the fortunes of the
Cribbs family found him equal to the occasion. The
invincible Cribbs, villain is he was. he has our
thanks for an hour‘s and nature, The bug‘bear of
Cribbs, the distreese old maid, whose charms, like
a thief, took best out of sight, and whose tongue
ran around one yard syllables with arapidlty perfect.-
ly stunning, was played by_ Miss Ellie Stewart. and
in a manner that won raise and drove the outra-
geous Cribbs stark star ng mad. Wm. Dost-ton (Mr
. Page) was noted to a charm, and heartily aspnlaud-
ed.’ is droll tender of eanuts. to Miss 8 ndle,
and his emphatic if not e assical titles for ribbs,
' kept the audience In excellen humor and need to be
heard from his mm 11 s in order to be appreciated.
The other characters id extremely well and deserve
great praise. '

Base Ball.
THAT Mumu Maren—The much talked
of game of Base Ball between the commu-
ters on the N. Y. do N. H. R. R., came 06‘ on
the grounds of the Liberty club, in ‘this place
on the afternoon of Tuesday last. The weath-
er was very pleasant, and the sun obscured
by clouds just enough to make this excellent
field-sport delightful. A large concourse of
citizens of Norwalk, with many people from
Stamford, Westport, and other adjacent
towns asssembled to witnessthosport,and du-
ring the play the grounds were completely
enclosed with vehicles of every description.
As the carriage containing the players drove
upon the ground, the Norwalk Baud played
“Hail to the Chief" &C., and continued to
discourse sweet strains at intervals during
the play. The preliminaries being satisfacto-
rily nrranged,they commenced. It rs useless
for us to attempt to speak of the many good
points in the game. The two pitchers ac-
quitted themselves, with honor, and gave ev-
idence of having practiced“just a little,to get
their hands in." There 'must of necessity be
more or‘ less fun in a muffin match, especial-
ly one like this, played between jolly good
fellows of the, mutual admiration Society,
each side striving their utmost to win the ball
and the honors. The game was earnestly
contested, but the best of good feeling was
manifested throughout, and at the close our
Stamford friends proved that they had not
“studied Chesterfield or D'Orsay” in vain, and
accepted their defect with all possible grace,
hoping for better luck next time.
The game was played between nine com-
muters from Stamford, and a nine composed
of six from Norwalk, two from Slratford,
and one from Darien.
Below we append the score :—

' The game was stopped at the‘end of the
7thinnlng by the Umpire, on uceount of
darkness. At lbc close of the 3d innings the
game was even, and Stamford was cxnlfant,
but “a change came o‘er thespirit of their
dreams,"und after the while wasll’onthc 5th
inning, things begun to look dubious. The
eighth inning was commenced, and after
sixteen runs had been “consummated” by
Norwalk, the decision of flleumplre to close
the game was received \villl welcome.
The two sides,'liuvingly sandwiched in one
curry-all, after the elnsipg‘of the game,drove
through the village. s'opping to salute the
old GAzn'r'rB, singing "The Gazette’sIa‘ jolly

all of which we bcrcwlh'r‘ctlrrn our hearty

ident’s Policy.
Among the influential newspapers of Eng-
land, this countryhss one staunch friend.
All through the Rebellion the London Daily
News steadfastly upheld the national cause,
and resisted the malignant attacks of ' the
London Times upon the cause and the Army
oflllc Union. The News of 'July 4th, eon-
tuins the following article which we reprint
because it is the utterance of a sincere friend
of our country who is too far removed from
our dissensionsto be, influenced by party
feelings, blinded by pally ambitions. We
ask for it a candid perusal by thoughtful
men.
From the London Daily News July 4.
The announcement which recently came
(from Washingtoa that the breach betwecen
the President and Congress is becoming wi-
der is one for which late events had fully
repared us, and which is quite borne out by
the facts that has come to our knowledge.
The whole course of American power during
the present year has indicated the gradual
severance of Mr. Johnson from the party
which elected him, and the principles on
which he was supposed to have taken his
stand. Bitterly oppoaed by the Democratic
party in the North, denounced in unmeasur-
ed language by pro-slnvery journals and pol-
iticians On both sides of the Atlantic, he
‘went to the White House with the reputation
of being more Republican than the Republi-
cans, and more Nortlreru in his sympathies
than the Northern people themselves.
His earlier language justified this reputa-
tion, though'his very earliest acts looked in
a different direction; The South trembled
at his words, though-they never had occasron
to tremble at his deeds; and the moderate
section of the republican party were not
without apprehensions that a policy of re-
pression might be entered on which would
give a vindictive character to the Northern
But Mr. Johnson, soon began to
Treason “chastised 4 with the valor of his
tongue" found it was to suffer no other chas-
tisemeut. The rebelliousStates soon discov-
ered that thbugh the‘voice was that or an 'en-
emy, the hand was that of a friend ; and the
more extreme politicians of the North had
speedy reason to regret a change which they
had once thought might be favorable to their
plans. From the opening of the present ses-
sion of Congress,a gradual but most deci-
sive change had been taking place in Mr.
Johnson's attitude. ‘ ,
He needlessly placed bimfelf in a position
of antagonism to his former friends, which
has acted prejudicially upon his temper, and ,
has fatally controlled his policy. The breach ~
has never been healed, but has gone on
gradusliy widening until at length it has be-
come impassable. By the force of old asso-
ciation, of the temptations of his position,
and it must be 'added,.oi petulant preference
for his own plans, he has thoroughly revered
himself from the Republican party, and assum-
ed the attitude of a Southern advocate and an
opposition leader.
The break with his old friends is complete
and his quondam opponents are those who
are now rallying to his leadership. Uncon~
ditiouai restoration of the Southern States
with their inequality of representation and
oligarehical Constitnthns, has now become
Mr. Johnson’s policy, and the pic-Southern
party in the North have hailed him as their
leader, much as the Tory party here hailed
the leadership of Mr. Lowe and the disap-
pointed section of the Liberals, when they
combined to overthrow a Government which
had unpnrdounbty sinnedby not including
them. .Under the name of “The Union par-
ty," the Democratic party is reformed under .
the leadship of the President and the patro- =
page of Mr. Seward, and an attempt is to be ,
made to carry the elections this Autumn , so
that the two-thirds majority in Congress may
be diminished, and Mr. Johnson may practi-
cally become “master of the situation. '
Should this policy succeed to that extent,
we may expect to see an immense develop-
ment of the veto power. Mr, Johnson will
be secured against any such danger as that
of the immediate passing of a bill over his
veto, and Congress will have to legislate.
to suit him, or be assured that Its legislation
is useless. The Democratic party will be
reconstituted, and all hope ofjustice to the
freedmen, all chanceofr‘mpartial sufrage, econ
perhaps of impartial protectionwill base dire
appeared.
negro race will have become their Pharaoh,
and will be leading his army in the wake of
their progress from the land of bondagehnot,
indeed, to recapture them, for Slavery, but
tomake, them so cept the new conditions of
their frecdcm from the hands of those who
had enslaved them. Of course this is not ac-
tually in the programme of the new party.
Their rallying cry is restoration of the Un-
inn. Their test will be that of allegiance to
Mr. Johnson, and full acceptance of Mr.
Johnson's policy.
But it remains to be seen whether even the
protectionist follies of some leading Repub-
licans give such a party as that of Mr. John-
son a chance. The alliance with the Dem-
ocratic section is too obvious. The people
will be likely to feel that, though the voice
is that of Jacob , the hands are the hands of
Esau. It is perhaps that the severau e of
Mr. Johnson from his own friends shou d be
thus complete. It" places the issue more ful-
ly and unmistkably before the people, and
it seems to us that it.giv.es a far better chance
of a decisive victory to the party of Freedom
and Progress.
Perhaps nothing better represents the sc-
tnal divergence between Congress and the
President than the bill which Congress has
lately passed in one day over the President’s
veto. At the present time four millions of
inhabitants of the Sunthern States are in the
condition of an inferior class, politically and
socially. Their enfruucbisement has been
effected against the wish of those who held
them in bondage, and in direct opposition to
the laws and customs of all the States in
which Slavcr existed. The “Constitutional
Amend ment,’ which become by its due rut-
ificatlon the supreme law of the laud,not on-
ly nbollsllcd‘Slavery, but, in view of the dif-
ficulties which might yet supervene, express-
ly empowered Congress by “ appropriate
legislation" lo establish freedom. .
The acts which the present Congress has
passed with this object‘havc been vetoed by
Mr. Johnson. Evgn the Civil Rights bill,
which, he says, renders'tllc new Freedman's
Bureau needless, had to be passed over his
veto, and now the bill continuing the present
Bureau, legulizing‘und reducing to order the
position of ucgro holders of forfeited and
other lands, and providing more ample pro-
tectlonnguinst violence, has bird to be passed
over his Vc10.. Yetin one passage of his
vein_lnessngc,. Mr. Johnsbn ,ndmlts a fact
which quite justifies" the bill. “The fact
cannot be denied,” lles'ny’s “ that since the
actual cessation of Imelililics llra'uy. acts of.
violence, such perhaps as bad llevergbcen
Willlcsscd in their previous history, have oc-
curred in the Sta1cs involved in their recent
rebellion." .‘ ‘

of the whole Republic-,sllouldbe. its supreme
law. ’ To let Stale rightscover , , '
