DEAD Guiana z—Last Sabbath evening
tha.Hall Of the House Of Representatives
presented a novel scene and Washington on-
joyed .a new sensation. A Congressibnal
temperance ‘ meeting had filled every inch of
sitting and standing room on the floor, the
lobbies and the galleries,‘_'and aisles leading
thereto, while many hundreds unable to gain
access reluctantly let; the Capitol. The
meeting was not only a monster one, but
from‘the' spirit and enthusiasm manifested
by speakers, and, auditors, it presaged much
in the way of an improved public sentiment
at the nation’s capitol. Chief among the ora-
tors was noble, eloquent, earnest, radical
“ch'k Yates," whose record as Governor of
Illinois during the war, and now her Sena-
tor,-who unhesitatingly announced for him-
self a determination to hereafter live and die
a temperance man. It is needless to say that
the announcement was received with the
most hearty‘exprcssions of delight by the
vast audience, to many of whom his slavery
to the terrible appetite for strong dring was
well understood. He was followed by Rep-
resentative Patterson, Senator elect from
New Hampshire,‘who uttered a scathing re-
buke to thé enormous lobby now besieging
Congressior a reduction of the tax upon
whiskey in the interest of the distiller and
dealer. “Beautiful men were they,” said he,
“patriotic and good citizens, who by their
own confessions have robbed the govern-
ment of nearly a hundred millions of reve-
nue they should have paid in taxes upon
their ' abominable, poisonous, murderous
whiskey.” Senator Henry Wilson, Represen-
tativc Grinnell and others also made eloquent
and well received addresses. During the en-
tire meeting, which wascontinued, till near
midnight, Senator McDougal conspicuously
occupied a chair in the main center aisle, and
was the observed of all. A man of large
and mature legal suinmenta, of rare cul-
ture, and» who but for rum, accursed rum,
would be an ornament to the body he has so
long and so signally disgraced, and which
he is so soon to forever leave, with naught
but a sense of mortification and pity to fol-
low 'him thence, in all human probability
down to a drunkard’s grave—poor McDon-
gal is but another-name to add to the ghastly
catalogue of men of genius, who have closed
an otherwise brilliant political career as a
“common drunkard.” What a concentration
of horror, misery, and dishonor is there in
that single word “DanvaED.” .
I-a'hOuld not fail to state however that
among the members of the 39th Congress
there are more total abstinence men, fewer
moderate drinkers and less habitual drunk-
enness than in any previous one for the past
twenty years. It should be a source of no
littl'ce'gratification to the people of Connecti-
cut-andespecially to Norwalk, that on Mon-
day week we are to add another member to
the Congressional ’ Temperance Society in
our own Mr. Funny, and 'on the first Mon-
day of ’April we are to elect another in the,
person of P. T. BAnuUir. Two eons of Fair-
field-County whose brains will hot be mud-
dled with rum.
The'c‘hief interest in the legislation of the
week has centered in the Stevens, Shaman,
Blaine, .Wils‘on and Shellabarger Reconstruc-
tion measure which now lies before the
President for his approval or—veto. It was
noted for by Hon. Reverdy Johnson, and ru-
mor, m'one than ordinarily well sustained,.
asserts' that the latter Senator has spent
three h'ougs in importuning the President to
sign thatliill, on the score of benefit to the
country, of peace to himself; and strength to
his Administration. But the same rumor as
confidently concludes that in consequence of
the military provisions of the Bill be will
return it with his objections, and force upon
Congress the responsibility of its becoming
a law: .The Bill is- not entirely what the
Southern hoyalists would like, but in its
foot-ball race from House to Senate and Sen-
ate tO'Honac and return, it"hss been so mate-
rially improved that it may be considered
about as perfect in its provisions as could be
reasonably expected to pass in a body where
so many wise Legislators had each for him-
self'._elaborated the plan and the only plan
for a perfect adjustment and reconstruction
of the‘rev'olted States. There are a few who
doubt'tliata two-thirds vote can be rallied
upon it, in both Houses in case of its rejec-
,tion by the President, but of this there can
scarce he an intelligent ' doubt, when there
are so many in either House who require no
incentive to vote for a measure beyond the
fact of itshaving been vetoed by President
Johnson. Verily, the Presidential Jordan is
a hard road to travel. On this head I may
state that rumor has also been free with the
name of Mr. Greeley as Post Master General
in place of Gov. Randall, and of Gov. An-
drew of Masschnsetts to succed Mr.Seward
as Secretary of State. There is no doubt a
partial foundation for these rumors. It is
claimed that the President is not entirely
. gratified with the results of the experiments
he has made upon the instigation of his
New'YorkPremier, while he openly accuses
Thu‘i'low Weed with being more solicitoua
for his own personal advantages than for any
glorification of “my policy."
The evening sessions in the House for the
week have been faithfully devoted to the
Tax Bill, which if it pass the Senate nearly
as amended in the House will materially
lighten the burdens of taxation and prove
most acceptable to the people. For the .
Bankrupt Law, the 'i‘ai‘iff Bill and mhcr iui- '
portautmeasuros there are grave causes of
apprehension lo at they should fail for luck of
time. It would detract very largely from the
The
100,000,000 greenback issue, authorized for
the redemption of the compound interest.
notes, it is thought by many, will certainly
pass the Senate and if so become a law. The
" Western members are vociferous in its de-
mands for more circulating medium, claim>
ing that the Central and New England states
have monopolizcd the National Bank capital
&c. If it pass, the government saves the
enormous interest on that amount, but wheth-
er lhe expansion of our paper currency so
large an issue would involve,would not work
other mischief of grown moment than the
advantages to be derived, is a question for
finanpial experts to fight out. Of the origi-
nal issue of these compound interest' notes
now pressing for redemption, there can be
but the opinion that Mr. Chase greivously
erred in judgment. Many adepts in the prin-
c1ples(and «can! of principles) of Banking.
affirm that Mr. Chase made a fundamental
error in that he did not seize upon the exi
gency of the. war to secure.to the Federal
Government the Constitutional prerogative of
issuing all the bills of credit to be circulated
throughout the country and thus relieve the
people of the vast burden of taxation involved
in paying interest upon government Bonds.
To this the bank men with reason reply that
the Banks were an. established American In-
stitution and but for the assistance rendered
the Government by the Banks it would have
been bunkrupted the first year of the war.
One thing is certain, it is now too late to in-
augurate a new system and if Congress exer-
cises a wise economy in its appropriations
our present burden of taxation may be very
rapidly reduced, and, so vast and manifold
are the resources of this great nation that at
the end of twenty-five years every dollar of
its war debt may be and should be extin-
guished. In fact, commissioner Wilson, that
thoroughly posted and competent chief of
the Land Ofiice Bureau, confidently asserts
that the Government owns gald'and silver
mines by the hundreds of miles, single ones of
which would furnish enough of the piecums
metals topay every dollar ofthe national debt ./
How emphatically may we adopt the scrip
tural text, “ we have' a goodly heritage.”
How impotent the devices of feeble, wicked
man, in his efiorts to arrest the onward
march of Truth and the purposes of the
Deity in the ultimate development of this
great nation. Said an old colored woman on
Pennsylvania Avenue, bemoaning the death
of the martyr Lincoln, "Well, they can’t as-
sassinate God A’mighty !" What a new
evangel of Faith and Hope and trust for
those of more light, of vastly less reliance
upon the Divine Power, "was there in the
sublime utterance of the pious, grief-stricken
negress.

Wheat Thursday, was another severe
day for either man ‘ beast, and had the
weather been ten de es colder might have
been classed with 'lhursday, January 17th,
which was pronounced by all as the severest
day of the winter. It was exceedingly un-
pleasant, and to use an insurance phrase,
“deemed extra hazardous” for any anyone to
beout. The fine pleasant weather which
prevailed the week before almost gave us a
foretaste of spring, but the little snow birds
lingered still among the trees and the clouds
meanwhile looked threatening. The snow
throughout Wednesday fell gently and con-
tinued throughout the night, but during
Thursday it came down thicker and faster
and increased in volume as the day wore
away. All the afternoon trains from New
York were delayed some two hours. The
Boston Express train up was two hours he-
hind time by reason of' the snow lying so
heavily on the track, and also in consequence
of an extra amount of passengers leaving
the city to spend Friday, (being Washing-
ton’s birth-day, andaholiday in the city)
with their country cousins. We learn that
the conductor of that train finding he Was
making slow headway and losing time, tele-
graphed from Mount Vernon to Stamford to
but an extra engine fired up and ready
upon the arrival of the train to help through,
but upon arriving at Stamford found that the
dispatch had not been received. Whether
the operator had gone to tea, gone sleighing,
or was asleep, report did not say, but the
train was delayed an hour waiting for the
engine which had tobefired up after the
train arrived. ‘

Lecture, at Lockwood’s Hall,March 5th, and
listen to this brave young maiden’s eloquent
plea for “Something to do” for women. Po-

she has been eminently successful, but her
present lecture, although in a new field, has
attracted much attention and given very
general satisfaction to her large audiences.
Those who have heard her once will be sure
to hear her again, and those who have never
heard her speak, should not fail to embrace
this opportunity of seeing and hearing the
most wonderful woman of the age. Make

The ‘Democrutic Convention.

for this District assembled 2 atBridgepoi-t, on
Wednesday'last. Wm.‘ D. Bishop, who has
long.“retired to 'the shades of . private life
waiting for the returning tides of popular ia-
vor" to wait him into Congress again, was
President, and E. A WoOdWard, of South

A motionwas made that Wm. H. Barnum
be nominated unanimously. This motion
was opposed by Mr. Olm'stead of Stamford,
and Mr. H. B. Graves of Litchfield. A sec
ond , informal ballot was taken, which re-
sulted as follow: :
Whole number of votes'112

During the dinner hour the “misunder-
standings" were satisfactorily arranged, and.
when the Convention assembled, Mr. Bishop
moved that Mr. Wm. H. Barnum b'e .mml'
nated by acclamation, which motion was not
opposed and the thing was done.
Mr. Barnum is a rich iron and car wheel
manufacturer (do his‘workmen work by the
piece?) and minor says is willing. to bleed
liberally for the cause and the—honor of the
position. 13He will need to spend'aheap of

the death of Prof. Alexander alias Bachs
who died at Newport, R. 1., Sunday week
of softenin' of ‘the brain. He was a de-

in 1806, and graduated at West Point with
honor. He occupied responsible positions,
as head of various colleges and educational
societies in Pennsylvania, and in 1843 was
appointed chief to. the United States Coast
Survey at Washington. He retained that of-
fice until his death, and discharged its duties
in a manner which established his reputao

NE'w Your; AND NEW HAVEN RAIL-
Roan—Legal proceedings have been com-
ineuced by the New York and New Haven
Railroad Company, to compel several of the
Conductors who have been recently dis-
charged from the road, to refund to it, vario
ous sums of money, which, it is alleged, have
been collected by them as servants of the
company, and not accounted for by them.

Rorrzscurw AND WATEnLoo.-— Roths-
child’s greatest achievement in overreach-
ing distance and his fellow speculators was
in 1815. Hewas near the Chateau do Hou-
goumonu onlhe 181h of June, watching, as
eagerly as the leaders, Bonaparte and Well-
ington themselves, the progress of the battle
of Waterloo. All day long he followed the
fighting with strained eyes, knowng that on
its‘issuc depended his welfare as well as Eu-
rope's. At sunset he saw that the victory
was with Wellington and the. Allies. Then,
without a moments delay, be mounted a
horse that had been kept in readiness ' for
him, and hurried homewards. Everywhere
on his road fresh horses or carriages were in
Waiting to help him over the ground.
Riding or driving all night, he reached 05-
tend at daybreak, to find the sea so stormy
that the boatmen rc:uscd.to trust themselves
to it. At last he prevailed upon aflsberman
to make the venture for a reward of £80. In
that way he managed to reach DOVeI'. At
Dover, and at the intermediate stages on the
road to London, other horses Were in wait-
ing, rind he was in London before midnight.
Next morning, the morning of the 20111 of
June, he was one of the first to enter the
stock exchange. - In gloomy whisper betold
those who, as usual, crowded round for
news, that Blucher. and ' his Prussians had
been routed by Napoleon before Wellington
had been able to reach the field ; that by him
self he could not possibly succeed,nnd,there-
fore, the cause of England and hernllics was
lost. I . -
The funds fell, as they wore meant to fall.
Every one was anxious to sell, and Roths-
child aud his accredited agents scofied at all
_ who brought them scrip for purchase. But
scores 'of unknown agents were at work all
that day and all the’nexf. Before the stock
exchange closed on the afternoon of the sec-
ond day, when Nathan Rothschild's strong
boxes were full of paper, he announced, an
hour or so before the news came through
other channels, the real issue of the contest.
Very soon the funds were higher than they
had been during many previous weeks: and
Rothschild found he had made something
like a million pounds by his quick traveling
and clever misrepresentation. Other millions
ware CUllCcLLLI, rather more slowly, by other
transactions of a like nature,—Nathan1[cyer

THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC RAILROAD.—
Gov. Fletcher, of Missouri, in his message
'says of this road :—
I have not hesitated to approve the action
of the commissioners appointed under the
act of the last session of the legislature for
the sale of certain railroads. ~By such action
the Southwest Pacific Railroad was sold for
$1,800,000, of which amount the purchaser
has paid into the treasury, according to the
terms of the sale and the requirements ofthe
law, the sum of $825,000. Since the sale of
the road bythc commissioners it has become
a part‘ of- the Atlantic sir-Pacific Railroad.
There is no reason to doubt that it will be
completed to Springfield within a period of
time less than that required by the terms of
the'contract. It is largely to theinterestof ,
the owners to do so as early as possible, and
it is fair to presume that they will do what
their interests require; This I esteem the
most important road in Missouri. It devel-
opes one of the. best portions of the State,
rich in agricultural land, in minerals, and in
water-power; a large district of country
which only wants means of communication
to make it one of the norm populous portions
of the State. This road will certainly, by ex-
tension and connections, wirhin a few years,
carry the largest portion of the commerce
west of the Mississippi.

An Effectual Worm Medicine.
BROWN’S VERMIFUGE COMPITS,
0E Worm Loznncns. Much sickness undoubtedly,
with children and adults, attributed to other causes
is occasioned by worms. The " Vnanircon Con-
riTs,” although effectual in destroying worms. can
do no possible injury to the most delicate child.
This valuable combination has been successfully
used by physicians, and found to be safe and sure in
eradicating worms, so hurtful to children.
CHILDREN HAVING Worms require immediate at-
tention, as neglect of the trouble often causes pro-
longed sickness. ,
Sm‘roxs or WORMS IN Curmnsn are often over-
looked. Worms in the stomach and bowels cause
irritation, which can be removed only by the use of
a sure remedy. The combination of ingredients
used in making Brown’s “ Vermi/‘uge Comfits" is
such as to give the best possible effect with safety.

Behind the Lighthouse.
Old fogylsm is not quite dead. PcOple are still to
be found who think that health is promoted by de-
pletion! Was there ever such false logic! Nature
is the grand antagonist of disease, and the depletors
propose to prostrate Nature, in order one might sup.
pose, to give the enemy a double chance at the life
of the patient! The true practice is to invigorate
the vital powers as to render them an overmatch
for the elements of disease. This can be done with
HOSTET'I‘ERS’ STOMACH BITTERS. Of all veg-
etable tonlas they are the most powerful and the
most genial. At this season, when even the strong-
est organizatlonfure liable to be afi‘ected by the al-
ternations of stringent cold and malarious moisture,
this inestimable protective medicine is especially
needed. Persons predisposed to bilionsness, dye,
pepsia, constipation, intcrmi.tent fever, or any of
the complaints which cold weather superindnces or
aggravates, should take it icgulariy throughout the
Winter and Spring months. It is absolutely pure
and harmless.
