Hartford, May 1st, 1867.
Mutual]: Q3 mitt:
'7, 1867.
Tues y, May,
. The Legislature,
'W as called to order in due form Senator
Gallup was chosen President pro lem of the
Senate,and J. M. Morris,Clerk. The House
elected Mr. Waite of Norwich, Speaker; J.
W. Taintor, Clerk, and Dwight Marcy Asi.
Clerk, when both bodies proceeded to ma.
tine business. The session promises to be a
long one.
THE COMMITTEES will, as a whole, prove
acceptable we presume. The New York &
New Haven Railroad lobby was there in full
force and secured their candidate for Chair-
man in the Senate; Henry Smith, of Ridge-
field, had been selected as House member
from our county, but objection was made to
him by Messrs. Godfrey, Gould & Co. that
he was related to Legrand Lockwood and so
the speaker “swapped” for Mr. Rockwell of
Ridgefie‘rd, who by the way is the last man
to do the dirty work of that Corporation or
of anybody else.
.<.>-~
City Corporation.
Never was there a measure for the bene-
fit of Norwallr,so entirely unmixed with self-
ish ends and personal ambitions, as the city
charter question. That is was to be opposed
was to have been expected. When was there
ever a great measure of public'adoanlage that
was not opposed? From the days of the
proffer of the Court House and Jail, the
Housatonic Railroad, the Depot oi the New
Haven Railroad down to our Street Cars,
ecerylhzng oi the sort has encountered bitter
hostility. We had hoped to see an end of
this in the matter now agitating the public
mind. That the change will enhance the
value of property, promote the general wel-
fare, admits of no question. The fac is are as
absolute as that two and two make four.—
Then why mosilzbn .9 We are sorry to see
that it lras its origin in and is involved in a
sly, sinister,parlizan'feeling. We had hoped
to see one movement for local improvement
bereft of political feellng. We know that so
far as leading Republicans are concerned,
they earnestly desire a unitm of the best men
of both parties for our mutual, local benefit.
In the proposed change of our local govern-
ment it is the purpose to find good men who
will serve the public as Mayor, Councilmen
&c., free of charge. There are such men in
both political organizations. The straw now
being made by certain fuglemen of the de-
mocracy to defeat the purposes and wishes
of the better men of their own party as well
as oi ours, we can assure them will not pre-
vail. Their hope to effect a division of Nor-
walk and South Norwalk into two seperate
and insignificant corporations, will not carry.
The moral sense and intelligence of our peo-
ple rising higher than party ends, are against
it. Norwalk and South Norwalk will re-
main one and indissoluble, whatever he the
fate of the present application for a 'city
charter. If our intelligent, tax paying prop-
ery holders, upon a mature examination of
the question, deem the present an inoportune
time to press the question, why then we
shall draggle along, bearing onerous local
taxes, without any corresponding benefits,
just as we have done for years past. We
shall dispense with water as a cheap motive
power, to attract manufactories and opera-
tives hither; as a means oi protection in the
event of fire; to“kecp down the blinding
dust in our streets; to serve our sore needs
for family use, for fountains and ornamental
purposes; and greater than all, to promote
the health and save the 1in s of our people
by its inevitable purifications and cleansings.
But if out people, upon a fair expression oi
opinion, shall decide other-wish, we shall re-
joice, and for no other reason than that we
believe, and think we know the greatest good
of all will thus be secured. ‘

Grand Concert.
PLEASANT Announcnnnnr;—On Monday‘
evening next, May 13th, 1867, that splendid
troupe of artists, the Varian, Hoffman, Stri-
ni Combination, gives one of their superb
Concertsin Lockwood’s Hall ;and in looking
over the programme we can assure our read-
ers, that such a bill, containing as it does,
the very gems of operatic arias, ballads, du-
ets comic songs, piano-forte fantasias, &f‘.,
has never been offered to our music-loving
population, for their gratification and ap—
preciation. Let everybody attend. Such
music as these artists give, softens the heart,
purifies the soul, and the divine inspiration
of heavenly thoughts, must surely follow.—
Remember this is their last concert. They
visit our town because they like us. Now
let us reciprocate—patronize them, and show
them that we not only like them, but every
time they come they are more and more wel-
come.

parade would have been unusually imposing.
The military were Out in large numbers,
including the “Fat-man’s Putlanx,” whose

thestrects of Hartford were filled with a sea
of mud and umbrellas. Gov. English rode

WThc appearance of _out: State Militia
at the Election Pa‘rade, Hartford. on Wed-
nesday did honor to the Commonwealth. In
spite of the weather the display was really
superb, and Connecticut has every reason to
feel proud of her citizen soldiers. Never be-
fore, within our recollection, has the militia
been in such an ctllcieut state of discipline,
and all credit is due to those who have ac-
complished 'so desirable a result. - .

Kagfllcar Admiral Ringgold, died in New
York of apolexy, last week. He Was a na-
tive of Maryland, and was first appointed
to the Navy from that State March 4, 1819.
Since that date he had been engaged in sea
sel'vicclor'20 years and on shore or other
duty ten years. He was unemployed for a
period of about 15 years.

W‘The Hartford limes says of Senator
Dixon's reply to Senator Ferry in the Sen-
ate thc other day, in which he, denied that
he was worn member of the Know Nothing
party, that it “was as keen and effective as a
Damascus blade." Considering the fact that
Senator Dixon's autograph has been found
on the records of a Hartford Know Nothing
council, and that hundreds of his fellow citi-
zens are ready to testify to having seen him
initiated, the keenuess 'and effectiveness of
his reply‘may be doubted. It was more like
a boomerang than a “Damascus blade,”
thinks the Norwich Bulletin.
