Editorial Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, Feb 16th,1867.
The past week has been one of unusual in-
terest to Connecticut, in its legislation ac-
cepting League Island, and thus virtually re:
jecting New London as a Naval Depot for
Iron Clads._ This measure has now been be-
fore Congress for four years, and at the. last
session the acceptance of League Island pass-
ed the House after a severe contest,by seven
votes. The same bill, after having been ably
and resolutely opposed by Messrs. Fos-
ter, Dixon and others, passed the Senate by
17 to 27. It. is charitable to conclude that.
many who voted for this monstrouselephant
did so Ignorant of the enormous sums it will
require to make it at all available for the pur-
poses of the Government. The facts present--
ed by Messrs. Dixon and Foster were abso-
lutely unanswerable. Mr. Foster contested
the issue with more than ordinary spirit and
‘ vigor, while the speech of Mr. Dixon was a
most creditable effort and entitleshim to
much of that appreciation at home that; he
has forfeited by “swinging around the circle”
with Andrew Johnson. In this instance he
has certainly done all that any senator could
do for the interests of his State and of the
Nation.

ment Bill by the. House, its discussion in the

ad here the mes-t numerous lobby I have ever

i" and about the Capital.
The congressional nominations in our own
State have attracted very general interest
among members. News reached as early on
Wednesday of lair. Brandagec‘s defeat and
Mr. Starlrweather’s success in the 3d District.
Mr. Brandagee has many friends and ad-
ircrs here and his Congressional record is
ono thatthe friends of any man may well
feel proud of. But his mantle has fallen
upon one of the most. deserving young
working Republicans of the State, a man
who will take a prominent part. in carrying
f )rward the work always pressing upon
Congress. The bane of almost every legisla-
tive body is the scarcity of practical workers,
and the superabundance of mere talkers. As
a logical result, the legislation of the States
and the general government are delayed and
embarrassod'in their most vital interests.
On Thursday, a few mdments after the
House was called to order, the telegraph au-
nounccd the re-nomiuation cf Representa-
tive Deming of the lat District, by accla-
mation. The congratulations of his friends
who crowded about his desk, were hearty
and numerous. About the same time, the
telegraph furnished as the first informal bal-
lot of ourown District convention, then in
session at Bridgepo t. Great interest at
once centered upon our convocation, and
numerous were the conjectures as to the ul-
timate result. Several subscq uent ballo‘tings
were. received in quick succession, which
V seemed to intensify the interestfclt in
.Ilt. The strength developed by the
ssful nominee surprised everybody here,
.1 no one so much, apparently, as the pros-
cm. member. The first. ballot had very nat-
urally inspired him with a considerable dc-
grea of confidence in ultimate success, but
10 thoscless'intercsted the final result was
thought to be very clearly foreseen by the
state of the first ballot.
It. was not till the evening session that the
successful candidate was announced, when
the special excitement over Connecticut sub-
sided for the day.
Having been personally involved in that
contest, it is I‘egotism for me to say what I
do in all sincerity, that if I felt any disap-
pointment over the termination of that day’s
work, if. part‘ook more of regret for those de‘
voted friends at “home,” who had so zeal~
ously striven for a different result, than from
any selfish wish on my own part 1.,. be

no romance to my nature did I not thus pun.
licly announce my profound and honest
gratitude. Scores of members, and the en-
tire Press corps, of all political parties,
poured in upon me an embarrassing amount
of personal regrets. Indeed, I seriously
doubt if half so numerous expressions of
kindness would have followed a nomination,
.as have been extended to me, in House and
Senate, in the Departments, among newspa-
per associates and others. It would be un-
manly to say that such unexpected expres-
‘sions of confidence and esteem were other-
wise than grateful to me; nor would I deny
that in their enjoyment I feel more than rc-
paid for the new more than twenty years of
exacting toil and, service as a journalist, in
earnest endeavors to establish and maintain
those great principles of Liberty and Justlce
for which the good of all ages have worked
and prayed.

Permanent Location.
The Fairfleld County Agricultural Society,
at their meeting on Wednesday last, voted to
purchase, on certain conditions, a plot of
ground lying west of and adjoining thetrack
. the Danbury Depot. and Bank of Norwalk,
of the Danbury&. Norwalk R. R, in the rear
of the residences of Messrs. Hiram Green and
Joseph Stcbbins on the Wilton road a little
more than one mile above the Bridge. The
grounds are admirably suited for the pur-
poses tbey are intended for, containing about
27 acres. being ample in extent for the Fair
buildings,a half mile track, the necessary in-
closures, permanent sheds for stock on exhi-
bition, &C‘. ; and are bounded on the South
by the Broad River road, on the East by
Railroad track, on the North bylantl of Dan-
ielBetts and Joseph Stebbins, and on the
West. by the. Norwalk River, with an en-
trauce to the grounds from the Wilton road
between the houses of Messrs. Stcbbi us and
Green.
The advantages claimed by the Commit—
tee for this location are, that to all persons
going in carriages 10 the Fair from the north-
ern portions of Duricn and Stamford and
New Canaan and all of .the towns North of
Norwalls, that the present location is nearer
than any on which the Fairs have before
been held in this town, while those coming
from Westport and the towns lying easterly
and northerly of that place will not have
more than two minutes longer time to reach
the Fair grounds than to the spot occupied
by it last. year; while to those coming by
Railroad, advantages are to be offered far in
advance of any heretofore enjoyed. The
Danbury a Norwalk R. R. Co. have agreed
to build aturnout at the Fair grounds, to
erect platforms for passengers, and for
stock sent. for exhibition, and run steam
trains between the Fair grounds and South
Norwalk to meet. every train on the New
York &New Haven road, and to run fre-
quent trains between Danbury and Norwalk
during the continuance of the fair, thus offer-
ing rapid and cheap communication for those
going to the Fair by rail. We learn that it
is expected that a new steam car or Dummy
capable of“ accommodating some one hundred
passengers will be put on the Danbury do
Norwalk road before the next. Fair, and that.
the people of South Norwall: and this Bor
ougb will be able to go to and from the Fair
every IIalf—hour,day and evening, The com-
mittee selected by the Society to supI-Iintend
the erection of‘tbe buildings and enclosure»
and to prepare the track and grounds for the
permanent use of the Society, are, J. Camp,
Fresh, and Messrs. Stephen Hoyt, Edwin
Lockwood, B. D. Partly, and Winfield S,
Sanford. Wetrusf our citizens will be liber-
al and carry out the promises of the commit-
tee on location, so that we can in our next
anuounccfhat they have pecli complied with
and the grounds secured.
Some persons that have not reflected upon
the subject, ask what are the. advantages to
Norwalk of bavinga permanent location of
the Fair in this place? To these we answer
that tacy are numerous, but we have only
time today to allude to one that in our opin-
ion will outwoigh all others, and that is, it
will induce in our whole town a more thor-
ough system of culture of lands, by which we
shall produce much larger crops than before.
At a rough estimate there is in this town
some s:ven or eight thousand acres of land
suited to cultivation, and if, as we believe, by
the holding of the Annual Fairs in this town
a rivalry will be induced, by which, these
acres will fbc made to produce but ten per
cent. more than now, (we think it will be
nearer twenty-five than ten), it will readily be
seen that. itwill pay our people a dividend
of many times the cost of the lands, build
lugs and inclosures, each year.

The Escape of the Express
Robbers.
We have received the following letter
from Sheriff Bulklcy :
Mussns Enrrons :— ,
There appeared an article- in your paper
of Jan. 29th, proposing to make known a
“few plain facts" regarding the escape of
the Adams Express Robbers, from the Dan-
bury Jail. That article is evidently aimed
at me especially. “The facts" are so garbled
and misstated that I deem it highly impor-
tant; for me to place them before the public as
they are. The prisoners were tried at Dan—
bury, at the August term of the Superior
Court; the jury disagreed, consequently
they had to remain injail till the next term
of the Court which was to be held in Danbu-
ry in three or four weeks. The removal of
them to Bridgeport and back again to Dan-
bury in so short a time would have been
hazardous and some expense to the State.
In view of these facts I concluded to keep
them in Danbury jail, and did so till the~
next trial. When first brought into Court
for trial the attorney for the State entered a
mile, and re-arrcsfcd them on a bench-war-
rant. issued by the court. After the disagree-
ment of thejury, as before stated, the pris-
oners were put in jail without any _mittimus
for holding them there, which was no fault of
mine. Two days after the Court adjourned
I was notified of this fact. I immediately
went to Bridgeport and obtained a mittimus
committing them to jail, without designa-
ting which one. I went to Danbury and
lodged it with the jailer there. If the Attor-
ney had been so anxious for their removal to
the Bridgeport . jail, he could and probably
should have asked the Court for a miflimus
committing them to that jail, which would
have made it imperative on me to obey. -
After their trial and conviction at the Oc-
tober term they were held in jail on the same
mittimu's, awaiting a hearing on a motion for
a new trial. You say after this last trial I
remanded them again to the Danbury jail.
This cannot be so. That is the Judge’s bus-
iness not mine. 'You further say, “The spec?
ial guard provided by the Express Co. was
ordered to quit the jail." No such order
was given by me or any one else. On the
contrary I assured them they could remain
as long as they pleased. Again you say du-
ring the last trial I “openly declared the.

-"::,;::Liiumle that one of the women was
not the wife of the prisoner." I was not
present when any evidence was taken prov.
ing that. fact. Isupposed they were, as they
claimed to be. their wives. I sincerely regret
the escape of these men, but it is mainly the
fault of thejailor. Had he done as 1 direct-
ed him to do, no escape would have happen-
ed.
By inserting the above in yhub paper _ and
requesting other papers that have copied
‘ your articles to copy this, you will much ob-
lige me. M. BULKLEY.

prisoners to Bridgeport was provided for

would not take them there. We leave the.

Mr. Randolph, in reply in G011. 1“(:1'I‘y‘51t:lltl'
publisher] in our. last :—-—
NEW YIIIIK, Feb. 15, 1867.
Ilox. 0. S. FERRY : '
hit-Dear Sir -.—
A friend has handed me a ;
copy of the Abram/I: (lactic for EMS week, ;
in which to my «1,139.31 find your letter
of the 8111 inst. '
The unexpected publicity which you have
given me in this connection, must be. my ex-
cuse for this intrusion.
Since my rte-publication of the Times arti-
cle, Ibavc learned the name of the writer.
His loyalty is not to be questioned. With
his pen, in home and foreign journals, he did
the country great service during the war.
He had no sympathy with those Republicans
-,wlm were, di‘strhs’tful of Mr.‘ LINCOLN and
who plotted in the early summer of 1864,
for the nomination of a third Presidential
candidate. On tlIc'contraI'y be always stood
firmly by. the great and good man. You do
him'an injustice therefore in suspecting him
cf a“covert and malignant desrgn" in the
writing of this article. .
" And now as to the article; it. is possible
l that some of its expressions should be modi-
fied, but yet. I cannot. accept. your interpreta-
tion and application of the phrase that serves
as a heading to if, a coup d’elat is defined
“as a stroke of policy ~; a violent measure of
statein public affairs." May not. this occur
without. the shedding of blood, or an imme-
diate or general disturbance of the. public
~ peace, and yet be none the less Revolutiona-
ry, with results of the most disastrous char-
acter. With yourself Ibave great faith in
the people; and I apprehend no such scenes
in the .eyenf. of the impeachment and sus-
pension of the President, or from the adop-
tion of Mr. Wilson's bill, as followed the
coup d'cfaf of Louis Napoleon, but. need I
say that no nation can pass such ordeals
without sufferingythat none can afford the
risks of great shocks, and the precedents
they establish, especially if in the calm that
is sure to succeed the storm, it shall appear
that they were the results of passion or preju-
dice. or the fruits of hasty legislation in the
absence ”of"'wis'c"statesmanship. The exe-
gmeies of a party will not justify such meas-
un'siu a popular government. May I refer
you, to the history of the Democratic party
in the flush of its powm' ; tothc Dred Scott
decision, and thehbrogation of the Missouri.
Compromise. That party then tolerated no
differences of opinion among its members,
and whatever stood in its way went down,
in spite of law or compact, before theimpeo
rious will of its leaders. .
The writer 0f the Times article wa,s per-
haps unformnafc by the rules of strict con-
struction, in his statement that. the chief ob
ject. of“ the Supreme Court is to define the
power of Congress. His evident meaning In
that to this court belongs the right to review
and pass upon the, acts of Congress when
brought before it. Certainly he was not so
far astray as Mr. Boutwcll, who so recently
and “with strong emphasis" has declared
that the Supreme Court. exists but by the
breath of Congress. .
It is not. within the range of my ability to
. meet. your statements as to the meaning and
extent of the affllafc jurisdiction of that
court. 1 only know that eminent jur'ists dif-
fer on this point ; but if as you say Congress
has the right not. only to determIne “the
modes of its procedure, but the extent oftma-
nimily requisite in its decisions,” then I do
not see but that you are prepared to justify
the vital principles of Mr. William's bill.
_And now. shall the Republican party estab-
lish the rule that in the Supreme Court of the
land, from which there is no appeal, there
,shall be no decision on the gravest judicial
questions, unless with the concurrence of all.
the Judges of such court." Need I attempt to
show you the public working of such a rule,
‘hdminisfered in the spirit of Mr. Boutwell;
or with what power it might clothe some
future Congress and the Judges of :1. “Recon-
structed Court. ?" No party, however pure,
, could withstand the recoil'of such a “violent
measure of state in public affairs."
Now, it is because I am a member of the
Republican party, and earnestly desire its suc-
cess not only in Connecticut but. elsewhere,
that I oppose the unwise and hasty legisla-
tion of the Thirty-ninth Congress. That the
Democratic party Strikes at our vulnerable
point, should be a nofe of warning ; nor can
we hide our faults from the gaze of thought-
ful men in our own ranks, by simply calling
names, and throwing ourselves back on the
records of the war. We shall be held respon-
sible for our failures, and the more because of
the great power we possess. On the Can-
vass in your own state you must'everywhere'
meet. the question of Reconstruction. How
shall it. be met, not with the Constitutional
Amendment, on which the fall elections
were carried, Tor. Congress has thrown it
aside. Will the bills of Mr. Elliott and Mr.
Stevens as they passed the House of Repre-
sentatives, help you? 'Will the reconstruc-
tion of the Supreme Court, instead of the
states, or‘tbe duty of impeacbing the Presi-
dent satisfy lhe people ? I fear not. If we
would escape the rock on which the Demo-
cratic partysplit we must throw aside thedead
weights that designing trickstcrs have put
upon us. _We must cling to great principles
and hold on. to our reverence for law. No
tdcmands oftbe Party will atone for great er-
'~rors. Rather let us frankly acknowledge
them, and at once begin _to do right. That.
is the only safe course, and the sooner we be
gin, the better for the country and ourselves.
'I beg you to pardon the length of this letter,
and notwithstanding our differences on this
question, to believe me, always and very tru-
ly yours. A. D.,F. RANDOLPH.

the stomach gets a thick coat of slime on it, it pre-
vents the gastric juice from flowing, and digestion
ceases. .Schenck’s seaweed tonic dissolves t a mu-
