Municipal Charter for Norwalk.
’Wc publish today the application for. a
City Charter for Norwalk. The boundaries
are indefinitely ‘drawn and will be subject to
such alteration as may'bc deemed most con-
ducive to the public weal. A town embra-
cing over ten thousand inhabitants, and rap-
idly increasing, absolutely requires some
more rapid and eflicieut local government
than the old town or borough systems afford.
Side-walks, improvement of streets, Lamps,
and nose and over and above all, the WATER
' Wortis, are the principal things sought for
in said application' In New Britain their
" Water works pay the interest upon their cost,
the cost of repairs and management and
about half their local taxation besides. A
view days since we were at Winsted and were
there shown where their water works saved
more than double their entire cost in eatin-
gus’shing asinglejire. We believe one of our
greatest needs may thus be secured and a
profit made to our treasury beside. We shall
hope for other and important reforms. The
erection of a city hall mid-way between the
two present villages (which a city charter
will surely merge into one) and make us one
in interest and feeling as we should be, will
.be one of the future advantages of the new
system, while our taxation by a proper as-
sessment of benefits and crediting of dama-
ges in all alteration of highways and the like,
jou'r taxation can and ought to be made lower
than as at present we are conducting our
"'public affairs.
1
We confess our greatest desire is lgr the
introduction of a plentiful supply of pure
water, for safety from fires, for motive power,
for family and ornamental use, and for the
health and comfort and blessing of our peo-
ple. » , .-
In-this movement, there is no purpose to
coerce the opinions of any one. We hope for
the fullest and freest discussion of the matter
in all its bearingssatisfied that in anylight it
may be presented, it muststrike the minds
of our people as the thing we need, and bone-
ficial alike to the poor and the wealthy, and in
every sensefpromotive .of the growth and
prosperity of our beautiful locality.

Joseph R. flawley.
~ The Republicans of Connecticut may well
be proud of their standard-bearer in the re-
cent contest. Gov. HAWLEY visited every
county in' the State, in each addressing large
and enthusiastic meetings of the people,
. The reports which have reached us of those
speeches, are concurrent in their expression
‘ 'f the profound interest and earnest admira-
tion with which they were received. Gov.
Hawley has won, in the estimation of all
thoughtful men who heard him, an honest
title to the name of statesman. He has risen
above the grade of mere politicians, in which
must be ranked the Dixons and Babcocks,
who have always been barking at his
heels, and placed himself permanently in the
. front rank of the representative men of New
England. Henceforth his name is to be as-
. sociated with those of Morrill, Andrews,
' Fessenden, Dawes, Baldwin. Hamlin and
their compeers. He is dearer to the heart of
Connecticut to-day than ever’ before. The
Post Office andCustom House apostates at
New Haven and Hartford have hated and
hunted him, for no other cruse but his lofty
integrity and his devotion to human rights.
1 he peopk will get reward him, and remember
them. Henceforth, in the struggles that are
yet to ébme, while Dixon & 00., are burrow-
ing in the dark, all men in our Common-
woalth who love truth, manliness, pluck and
honor lolly ability and genuine statesman-
ship, will turn their eyes to JOSEPH R. HAW-
LEY, and follow his standard wherever he
leads the fight.
It may prove that Dixon, Babcock
& CO. have compassed their wishes in the
' defeat of our Governor only to make[him, by
popular acclaim, a sure successor to the for-
' met in the U. S. Senate in ’69. We can hear
such defeat and hide our time. '

Letter frOm senator Ferry.
We are per mitted to publisl: the following
letter :— .
\VASIIINGTON, April Illlt, 1867.
Mr DEAR Stu.
You speak truly when you Say,
that in the election of last Monday there
are some elements which earnest Bomb] 1-
cans may contemplate with profound satis-
faction. The very circumstan ces, under
which our opponents have won their partial
victdry, evince a wonderful progress in DC-
litical sentiment during the last. few years,
The Democratic party of Conmcticnt will
never again, as in 1861 asset-t, in :1 deliberate-
ly adopted platform, the right of secession,
01' deny the power of the Federal govern-
ment to coerce a rebellious state; for they
have succeeded now only by setting up a
candidate, who has always condemned se-
cession, and who voted men and money to
coerce rebellious states The Democratic
party of Connecticut will never again deny
the right of the people to abolish slavery, for
it has been a principal recommendation of
Mr. English that he voted to abolish slavery
To these changes in political attitude the
Republicans of Connecticut have forced their
adversaries during the last five years. The
recent election demonstrates that the change
is to be permanent. The destruction of the
pernicious doctrine of secession, the estab-
lishment of the right of the Federal govern-
ment to coerce states, as well as individuals
into obedience to Federal authority, and the
acknowledgment of the just power of the
people to alter or abolish social systems hurt-
ful to the general welfare, are proud memo-
rials of the Republican ascendancy in Con-
necticut. Had the Democratic party Occu-
pied, at this time, the position which it held
in 1861 and 1863, it would have been beaten
now, as then. ~
Why, then, has it been successful now?
Let us not blinktbe question, but, passing by
local and side issues,look the situation square
in the face.
With the overthrow of the Rebellion, the
annihilation of secession, and the abolition of
slavery, a new.duty devolved upon the Re-
publican party as the political organization
having control of the government. This du<
ty may be comprehended in a single word,—
Reconstruction. In the first session of Con-
gress after the close of the war, that‘Pnrty
embodied its then existing policy of' restora-
tion in the Amendment to the Constitution,
designated as the 14th Article. Connecticut,
in the Spring of 1866, against a powerful
Democratic Opposition, ratified that Amend-
ment, both at the polls, and in the General
Assembly. The other loyal states, in the Au-
tumn of the same year, followed our exam-
ple with wonderful unanimity. But, the rcb~
e1 politicians of the South, instigated by the
Northern Democracy, and encouraged by the
President of the United States, refused to
permit their communities to be reorganized
upon the basis of that Amendment. Congress
therefore, at its next session, adopted an ad-
ditional and more effectual scheme of re'con.
struction. The first had been submitted to
the decision only of the dominant class at
the South ; the second was submitted to the
whole people of the South. The first left
the local governments of the rebel states en-
tirely in the bands of the ruling class ; the
second admitted the whole people to a
participation in those governments, and pro-
vided for the protection of persons and prop-
erty, where the civil power should prove in-
adequate, by the interposition Of military
power, subordinate to the President of the
United States. The first stopme short with
the proposition of the Constitutional Amend-
ment. The second added to that proposition
the features which I have just indicated.
Such is the substance of the reconstruction
Bill, whose lerms were the subject of discus-
sion'in the recent canvass. Its essential de-
mands were three ; viz : the ratification of
the Constitutional Amendment above referr-
ed to, the substitution of popular suffrage, for
class suffrage in the reorganization of their
political systems, and the return of the states
in question to the-exercise of all their func-
tions in the Union. The military features of
the Bill are merely temporary and incident-
al; useful and necessary, indeed, for the pro-
tection of life and property in the present cha-
Otic condition of Society there, but destined,
by the very provisions of the Act, to pass
away so soon as the states should resume
their place in the federal system.
Now, it is true that the necessity and ex-
pediency of this Bill were directly in issue
in the election of last Monday. A majority
of our people—no matter under what in-
fluences, no matterynder what mistaken im-
pressions, no matter how much turned aside
by local or personal considerations,—did,
last Monday, cast their votes against the
Bill, and Mr. English's majority of 900
showa the exact preponderance of sentiment
in Connecticut, on that day, in reference to
that particular mode of reconstruction.
In my judgment, the fact is demonstrated
by this election, that both the true, intelli-
gent opinion, and the majority Of votes in
our State will sustain the Bill, in all its
details, before another year shall have pass-
ed. The advance of our principles in popu-
lar favor, since the close of the war, has
been wonderful. 0n the first Monday of
October 1865,—only eighteen months ago,—
less than thirty thousand of our citizens
could be persuaded to go to the polls and
vote for popular suffrage against class s‘uf-
frage in Connecticut. Now, popular suffrage
lacks but 900 votes of a majority of the
whole people of the State, for every man
who voted for JOSEPH R. HAWLEY, knew
what he was voting for. The Reconstruction
Bill was passed within at month prior to the
election. It had not been generally printed
and circulated. Its terms were studiously
misrepresented by its opponents, and its true
character was misunderstood by thousands
who voted against it. ()1 those who voted
for Mr. English, fully one-ball" were citizens
of foreign birth, many hundreds of whom
had been but a few Weeks naturalized, and
all were assured that the Bill established a
military despotism, like those of the Old
World from which they had sougbta refuge
here. Under such circumstances, the mea-
greness of the majority against us is a proof
that time, discussion, and reflection will give
us back, before another“ election, a vastly
greater majority than that which has been
transiently won against us. '
What, then, remains ? Let. us speak plain-
ly. We must be true to the principles on
which we have fought this light. We must
take no steps backward. We must proclaim,
boldly, exactly what we mean. The Repub-
lican party declares for,
First, Loyalty to the Republic, as indis-
soluble and perpetual.
Second, Popular sulf‘i'Agc as oppOSed to
class suffrage.
Third, The entire restoration of the Union
in the mode prescribed by Congiess.
Upon this platform we are secure. Tem-
porary defeat will be only the precursor of a.
greater victory. The Southern communities
will accept the terms of the Reconstruction
Act, and will be represented in the Fortteth
Congress. The next President of the U111-
ted States will be nominated and elects-{l by
the Republican pa;1y; and a just, durable,
and beneficent peace will take the place of
the strifes which have darkened 1111: 1111511, and
whose clouds have not entirely disapproved
from the horizon of the present.
Very truly yours,
031115 3. FERRY.

President, Secretary and Treasurer, the ob-
ject of said organization being to secrets and
dispose of stolen goods. This society is said
to be composed of what have been consider-
ed vcry respectable citizens. Each clerk be-
longing to it, steals anything he can. from
his employer, and the article is credited to
him on the society’s books.—Druggisf_s, Fan.-
cy Dealers, Dry Goods Merchants, Grocers,
Jewelers. Banks, &c., have suffered largely
from the members of this society in2 their
employ. A sufficient amount had already
been secured to warranttwo families connec-
ted with it, visiting the Paris Exposition,
and they left for Europe, last week, thus es-
caping arrest, A Society book belonging to
a drug clerk, which an employer found on
his counter confirmed suspicious, and led to
the arrest of two of the party, who are now
in Bridgeport jail. It is supposed that a very
large quantity of goods have been stolen.
