ELECTIONS EEO-DAY.
Today, Tuesday, Nov. 6th, twelve states
of the American Union are to hold popular
electiOn'a, viz ;—New York, Massachusetts,
New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Michigan,
Missouri, Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Kansas, Nevada. .
The present aggregate Congressional rep-
resentation of the above states, are seventy
Republican members and twenty-cue demo-
crats, In Massachusetts We ' look for no
change. In New York our adversaries have.
made‘tha most reckless and desperate efforts
.- r supremacy which have ever signalized and .
‘- W that orally other party. ‘We look
fora considerable increase of their majority
in all localities where the hot beds of pollu-
tion and crimes do most abound. Yet even
should the city go forty thousand against the
right, we believe the honest intelligent mass-
. es of the interior, will wipe out all that des-
peration and knavery can possibly achieve in
the great cities. We shall be sorely disap-'
pointed if theEmpire state does not rebuke the
special and indecent Executive interference
of Andrew J ohpson in her election by more
. than 10,000 majority. ~ -.
In New Jersey our friends are especially
confident, and hope for the gain of at least
one member of Congress. In little Delaware

' ‘heuded troubles in Maryland overshadowed
all else in that direction, our friends would
not and we hope will not be disappointed in
their reasonable anticipations,
'In the Western States the greatest enthu-
siasm prevails everywhere. Never were the

or comforters of rebels shall attain to either
state or national control. All in all, we can:
not see how we can come out of‘ this fierce
contest with much if any diminution of our
Congressional strength. We may lose in
Maryland. on account of the President’s
. ~ conniving with Governor Swanu to gag rebel

The Lectures
The first lecture of the season was deliver-
ed at‘Ilockwood’s Hall,on Wednesday even-
inglaat, by Josh Billings, (Mr. Henry W.
Shaw,“ Pcughkeepsie, N. Y.,) and was at-
tended by about 160 persons. Josh com-
menced by remarking that it was much easi-
er to write about the rise and fall of the R0-
man Empire than the rise and fall of Putty
and Varnish divided his subject into heads,
and then proceeded to do up a right smart
amount of the tallest kind of “wandering,"
giving comical expression to much wit and
some wisdom,funny sayings, quaintly’ extrav-
agant ideas, &c., including several vulgar-
ismswhich would have sounded better left
out. Weregret that the experiment of char-
ging twenty-five cents for admission proved
a failure, the receipts amounting to less than
half the expenses. If our people would only
turn out and fill the Hall, we could have a
most exellent course oflectures at that low
price,but if they will not do so, the price of
course must be raised or the. lectures given
up, as no committee will be found willing to
continue a course that does not pay expen-

. than of rare womanly virtues, and had no higher am-
bition thanto shine alone in the family circle. Her
. - heroic self-forgetfulne’ss in rushing at the assassin
Painewlll be remembered by all. But for her sur-
‘ passing fortitude. the assassln’s knife would have
. :dOhl it‘s bloody work. Whatever of sad regrets or
political bitterness Mr. Seward‘s recent public course
may have inspired, no one who has a heart that is
humanwill withhold his tenderest sympathy for the
poor, decrepid. feeble old man, whose chiefest object
' , ' of earthly Mon has been thus ruthlessly torn from

IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED.—Oile great im-
provement is much needed in our Borough
before the rainy season sets in, and that is,
the making of good Flag, Brick Or Pln n k
walks on the principal streets of the Borough.
Main Street and East and West Avenues
should be thus attended to immediately, for
as they now are, they are almost impassable
for the ladies after our Fall rains, through
the Winter and Spring, owing to the great
depth of mud. It would seem as though it
were good policy for our Borough authori-
ties to see to it that good substantial, durable
Walks were constructed on each of said
streets. Have they not the power to have it
done? If so there is a good chance for our
new board to distinguish themselves and
earn the thanks of all good citizens who have
to daily traverse the length of said streets.
Again, would not the suggestioniof grand-
juror Shepherd, be a good one for the Select-'
men of.our town to act upon, viz z—prccure
the necessary tools and set the portion of our
laboring men who are usually out of work
during the winter months, to breaking them
preparatory to macadamizlng some of our
principal streets. It might, first cost, be a
little more expensive than the present mode
of working the streets, filling up with new
gravel each year, but,we are confident that
it would be far cheaper at the end of 10 years,
and much, very much more satisfactory.
Besides, it would furnish work to our indusa
trious poor, just when most needed, and not
be so expensive to the town as ifthey were ob-
liged to hire it done in the Spring or Summer
months. Why not try it, at least on Main
Street, say from the end of the stone pave-
ment On said street up to Beers’ Corner, and
thus do away with that dreadful slough 0f
mud that extends during the Spring, the
whole of the distance. It would be a good
place -to try it as it is a spot which sadly
needs bettering. - ‘

WThe Methodist ministers of Bridgeport
District commenced their second quarterly
session on Monday, Oct. 29th, in this place.
The object of this Association is mutual
criticism and an interchange of views. A
evening by Rev. L. W. Abbott, of Wolcot-
ville. The following forenoon was consumed
in the adoption of a Constitution and By-
Laws. The afternoon exercises were public,
and an intelligent audience listened with deep
interest to a fine review oi Buckle’s History
of Civilization, by J. Pullman, of Woodbury.
This was followed by' a debate in which
Revs. A. K. Crawford, of Milford, E. B. San-
ford, of Thomaston, and B,A. Gilman, of
Sandy Hook, participated. . An essay enti-
tledi‘The Mission of Sacred Song in Devo-
tional Exercises,” was then read by Rev. F.
Bottcme, of Bridgeport ; it was a very chaste
article, and full of beautiful thoughts. .011
Wednesday morning Rev. J. Pullman’s es-
say was criticised, and he unanimously re-
quested to furnish it for publication in the
Methodist Qurterly. An essay on “Delivery
of Sermons” was read by Rev. J. Vinton of
Westport. It was spicy, full ,pf valuable
hints, and the closing remark “When you
get through stop, don’t taper"; was received
with - strong marks of approval. Skeletons
of sermons were then given by several mem-
bers of the association. In the afternoon a
strong essay on “Sources of Pulpit Power"
was read by Rev. J. M. Carroll, of New Ca-
naan, The evening exercises on Tuesday
and Wednesday, though not embraced in the
programme of the association, were intense-
ly interesting. On Tuesday evening a Cen-
tenary Love Feast was held, in which mem-
bers of the let and 2d M. E. Churches, who
had been alienated for years, freely commin-
gled their “experiences”—it was a melting
reunion, and none who were present can ev—
er forget the thrilling scene. Six hundred
Methodists, either in person or by represen-
tative, ate and drank together, and burying
the animOsities of the past joined hands for
future co-operation. On Wednesday evening
a Centenary Mass Meeting was held ; Revs.
Bottome, Sanford and Smith delivered ad-
dresses. When the- latter rose to speak, a
smile seemed to irradiate the congregation,
for no One can ever look upon this “happy
man” without feeling better for it. He spoke
with wonderful animation, and urged the
people to commence, during this centenary
year, 11 Parsonage, in some upper chamber
of which he might rest his head while visit-
ing Norwalk. The people nobly responded,
and more than three thousand dollars were
pledged on the spot. The choir contributed
much to the interest of the exercises, by fur-
nishing most excellent music.

WOur fellow townsman, Mr. LeGrand
Lockwood, returned last week from his re-
cent trip, in company with a large number
of government ofi‘icers and other distinguish-
ed excursicnists t0 and beyond the one hun-
dredth parallel. The officers of the great
Pacific Railroad Company, were the project-
ors of this rare excursion, and right well
must all have enjoyed it. Mr. Lockwood
brings us a little paper “The Railway Pio-
neer” printed in camp 275 miles West of
Omaha. It is about'the size of an ordinary
sheet of note paper but contains a list of the
arrivals at their “hotel" (the excursion party)
gives the New York Markets and the Lon-
don news of the day before in its telegraph-
column! Surely this 1's 9. great country and
grand and august is this monster enterprise.
We observe our aged friend, Col. Sherman,
Government Director was a chief among the
leaders of the party and although he forgot
his pledge to us, so, hugely must he have en-
joyed the “spree” that we forgive him the
omission, and shall continue to hope that
“Whene’er he rides’that way again
May we be thereto see."

Stereospantascope.
On Friday evening, as will be seen by our
advertising columns, we are to be treated to

senting views of all the principal cities in
the world, and the chief objects of interest
in thOse cities, 'with (war scenes, statuary,
colored views, &c. Prof. Worcester comes

WATEn.-The city of Norwich,‘as well as
Bridgeport, is agitating the water question.
No necessity of civilized life, to say nothing
of its luxury, can be so cheaply and easily
procured. We are quite confident that anoth-
er season will not be permitted to pass with-
out its introduction here. At least we know
one individual pledged to devote his special
energies to that enterprise.

And not a drop to drink"—

The Adams Express ‘lrtobbery. .
growing out of the above crime occurred on"
Thursday last,’ and we take the opportunity .
to give our readers a brief history of theref-
l:lir. ' '
()u the night of the 6th of January last,
the iron car of the Express 00., attached to
the 8 o'clock p. or. Express train from New
York, was broken open and entered and the
safes in it robbed of money, bonds, and val-
uables to the amount of nearly half ,a million
of dollars. '
. On the 9th of January, Thomas Clark and, '
Augustus Tristram were arrested in Nor-
walk, charged with participation in the
crime. They Were tried before Judge But-
ler, at Bridgeport, during the last week in
January, the State being represented by J.
Beardsley, Clarence A'. Seward, ‘and' O. S.
Ferry, while the defence was conducted by
Charles Chapman, I. M.'Sturges, Ex-Judge
Stuart, and Counsellor Sharpe, the two lat-
ter from the city of New York.
Tristram pleaded guilty, and was sentenced
to the State Prison for three and a half years.
Clark was convicted and sentenced to the
State Prison for five years. He filed a mo-
tion for a new trial which suspended execu-
tion of the sentence.
Soon after his conviction Clark made a
full confession of all the details of the rob-
bery to Major Allen Pinkerton, the Chief of
the National Police Agency, who had had
the case in hand from the time of the perpe-l
tration of the crime. This confession impli-
cated John H. Hudson, Edward Maguire,
Gilly McGlion,Martin:Allen and JamesWells
of New York, and John Grady of ' Stamford,
a brakeman on the train on which the rub-
bery was committed. All these, except Hu'd-
son, were arrested prior to the August term
of the Superior Court, and at that term were
put on trial before Judge Pardee, at Dan-
bury. At this trial the State was represent-
ed by J. M. Carter, S. B. Beardsley, and O-
S. Ferry, Esqs., and the defence was conduct;
ed‘ by Charles Chapman, Ex-Judge Stuart,
and Ex-Reccrder Smith of New York. The
trial resulted in a disagreement of the Jury,
eight being for conviction and four for ac-
quittal. Maguire soon after gave bonds in
the sum of $8000 for his appearance at the
October Term, the money bein g deposited in
the Pahquioque Bank at Danbury.
Just before the October tel-m Maguire was
arrested in New York on a requisition from
the Governor of Maine, charging him with
participation in a Bank Robbery in that
State some time before his arrest for the Ex-
press robbery. When the Octcber'term came
on, Maguire of course failed to apperr, and
his bond was forfeited. The other prisoners,
Wells, Allen, McGloin, and Grady were put
upon their trial before Judge Loomis, the
State being represented by the same counsel
as at the August term, and the defence con-
ducted by Ex-Judge Stuart, and William F.
Taylor, Esq. The trial continued two weeks,
and resulted in the conviction of all four
of the prisoners. Their Counsel filed a mo-
tion for a new trial, which, however, there is
little probability of their obtaining.
Of the persons concerned .in this crime,
only one, John H. Hudson, remains at large,
and of the property stolen .all but $19,00
has been recovered. '
Too much praise cannot be awarded to Ma-
jor Pinkerton and his subordinates of the
National Police Agency, for the skill, energy,
and perseverance which they have displayed
in accomplishing these results, and the pub‘
lie is under a debt .of gratitude to the Adams '
Express Company for the determination with
which they have pursued the perpetrators of
this great crime, and to which must mainly
be attributed the final vindication Of the law
by their conviction.

They can turn this freighting buisness from
Bridgeport to New Haven about the same
time that they can make water run up hill.
Bridgeport is the natural outlet of the Nan-

are furnished for that buisness, but so long
as our Only railroad runs on the track of
another road half a dOzen miles and then

Trouble in Baltimore.
For some two or three weeks past the citi-
zens of the city of Baltimore have been
very much excited over an attempt of Gov.
Swann to dcpose the Police Commissioners
of the city on some frivolous and trumped
up charges. Hc summoned the commission-
-crs before him, gave them a farce of a trial,
and then removed-them and appointed new
ones. But tirelold ones would not acknowl-
edge his right to remove them, and are going
to resist in the courts of law. On Saturday
last the new commissioners were arrested on
,a writ issued by Judge Bond of theoriminall
courts of the city, under a charge'of inciting
toriot, and on refusing bail were sent to jail.
A judge of one of the other courts has issued
a writ of Ilabeas corpus in their behalf, butas
according to the laws of Maryland they have
three days in'wlrlch to make return to it, it
would seem at tile.present writing that the
old commissioners have the best of it.

the favorite of everybody. They are both
able and deserving‘li'nd have'hc'sts of friends

would be hard for us to be juryman to sit on
that case, but having .been at washington
every session for the past four years we
should sorcl y miss the familiar face and earn-
est, convincing voice of friend I Brandagee,
should his mantle fall upon another. Here
is one fact his people should credithim with,
and that-is, any man lesS'eioquerlt and vigi-

Um’AB-ALLELED BENEVOLENCE.—A GIFT
OF $5,000,000.-The immense donations of
George Peabody are having their legitimate
effect in stirring up the charitable impulses
of other wealthy men. The New York Tri-
bune says : “Mr. A. T. Stewart has decided
not to erect the houses for the poor on the
lands offered by a wealthy citizen for that
purpose. He will accept aid from no source
whatever, but will himself prosecute the pro.
je'ct to completion at an expense approxima-
ting nearer $5,000,000 than $1,000,000. A
well known and expert architect Of this
city has been consulted, and the noble work
of providing homes for the industrious poor
is to be commenced at an early day and pros-

two of the prominent Democratic politicians
of‘ that city: “We would like to know why

'put on airs and assume to i nore their bar-
gain with the prize ring? ohn Morrissey
is every bit as good looking as John Hoff-
man. John Morrissey has a finer mustache
than John Hoffman. John Morrissey has a
larger account at the bank—at any bank, in

can make‘a longer speech than John Morris-
thau John Hoffman. And this certainly is a
striking point in favor of John Morrissey.”

How GEN. GRANT RECEIVED Hrs COMMIs-
SION—The Washington correspondent of the
Providence Jam nal relates the following:
“I have just been thinking of an incident re-
lated to me a day or two ago of General
Grant, told me by an Officer of his staff, that
is so perfectly characteristic of the man that
I am induced to repeat it here. It seems
that a few days after his appointment and
confirmation as the General of the United
States Ar ny, it was known that his commie:
sion was signed and awaiting him at the
White House; and thenext day, in honor of
the great even t,all of ithehead-quartcr officers
appeared in full dress to accompany their
chief, as they supposed, while be formally
received his commission. But while they
were, wail ing fiforlrim to summon them to‘Iat:
‘ tén’d'. him, a’ midrib-ited in a duster, an Old
pair of gray pantsloons and a slouched hat
was to be seen entering the President’s house.
Very soon he appeared with a piece of
,arDepartment. He stopped in the Office
of the notary public, and the clerk in inform-
ing old General Thomas, who was in an ad-
joining room‘,-_ol the job before him, remark-
ed thatvih'e visitormas a rough old felicw.
Gen. Thomas returned, and the required
oath was taken. The man who took the
oath was General Grant. The commission
was that of General of the United States Ar-
m ,
y.' " i . ,L _. .
Prosperity has not ,harnled Gen. Grant.
He loves vain display and allectation no
more than he did six years ago. His Old
_ friends are his friends still. Quiet] .and
’huppily he lives llcrcwitll‘llisfarnily.
'ings about nine o‘clock he c'an‘be seen on his
011]-
way to his oilice,oft-timcs accompanied by
his little son on horse back, followed b but
one orderly, who is more an object 0 use
than of show. He takes great pleasure in
his hcrses, and has collected as fiine a stud
as are seen outside the stables of a profes-
sional. His smoking is as inveterate as ever.

To The Debilitated and the Decrepid.
For general debility and exhaustion of the powers
of nature, whether occasioned by sickness, fast liw
ing, constitutional decay, old age, or any other
physical or mental cause, the one thing needfnl and
indispensable is .HOSTETTER'S CELEBRATED
STOMACH BITTERS. When the fire of life seems
to be absolutely dying out in the system, and the
mind, sympathizing with the body, is reduced al-
most to estate of imbecility, this mighty Restorative
seems, as it were, to lift the sufi'erer out of the
Slough of Despond and recruit and reinvigorate both
the frame and the intellect. An old farmer in the
Valley of the Monongahela writes thus to Dr. Hos
fetter : “I can compare the operation of your Bitters
upon me to nothing but the effect of a rain after a
long dry spell in the fall of the year. The rain fall~
ing on the meadows starts the second crop of grass,
and your wholesome medicine seems to have started
a second crop oflifc and spirits in me.” And this
is truly the effect of this grateful and powerful prep
arstion. Ladies of weak constitution, or whose
strength has been impaired by sickness or age, find
it a most efiicaclous and delightful Tonic, and it is
wasting of the fiesh, to young children. In fact, it
is a much safer and'surer cordial for the nursery than
anything advertised specially for that purpose,

Messns. J. N. HARRIS & CO :
GEN-rs—I make the following statement from a
perfect conviction and knowledge of the benefits of
ALLEN‘S LUNG BALSAM in curing the most deep
seated PULMONAmr CONSUMPTION l I have witnesm
ed its effects on the young and the old, and Ican tru-
ly. say that it is by far the best cxpectorant remed
wrth which I am acquainted. For con he, and a
the early stages ofLung com laints, I bel eve it to be
a certain cure, and if every amily would keep it by
them, ready to administer upon the first appearance
of disease about the lungs, there would be very few
cases of fatal consumption ? It causes the hlegm
and matter to raise, without irritatin those clients
organs (the Lungs), and without pr ucing constipa-
tron of the bowels. It also gives strength to the
system, stops the night-sweats, and changes all the
morbid secretions to a healthy state.
