Mussns EDITORS :—Agreeable to promise,
_I now forward you the first of a few sketches
which I propose sending you from time to
time, if you deem them worthy of publica-
tion, and 1 hope to make them not alto-
gether um‘nleresfing,—as a person with only
common ability, ought with my opportunity,
to acquire considerable practical information,
for one week I am in Chicago, another in
Milwaukee, the third in St. Paul and often in
several States on the same day, so I have it
in my province td' improve myself, if I am
properly observing.
But in sending you this paper (which I
write on board the Steamer “Buy Queeu,”ou
my way from Providence to Newport), I do
not propose to go from home to get what I
shall send you, but rather to take for my
first, a little incident which took place in one
of the Brooklyn horse-cars, a. few days ago,
which I heard directly from “first frauds.”
A gentleman returning from Greenwood
Cemetery, found he had lost his watch,a val-
uable one, and highly prized. Knowing it
must. have been stolen, he proceeded directly
to the Station House, on arriving in Brook-
lyn, and left a description of the lost proper-
ty, with a detective. In a few days he re.
ceivcd a note from the said detective, inform-
ing him, his watch had been heard from, but
not as yet recovered, and the note was an-
swered by a reward of sixty dollars, if the
article he returned to him. '
In due time he was sent for, and with an
officer proceeded to a pawubroker's shop
where the watch was identified and taken,
after paying costs, and the sixty dollars re-
ward, and why I send this to you, is, to tell
you, what happened “behind the scenes,"
which may not be known before, to most of
your readers.
It seems’from facts known only to a few
“inside the ring,” that thieving is regularly,
and systematically carried on as a business,
and that many of the most successful detec-
tives are well known to the thieves them-
selves. Aud they are often seen in the very
act and not arrested, for reasons unknown,
but for very practical and, wise ends, of
which I may try to illustrate, by what I. have
said, and am about to relate.
As in the case before mentioned, a delec-
tive was on the car at the time the watch
was stolen, and actually saw it taken. - When
the thief left the car he was followed—his
name tiken by the chicory—(then in citizen's
dress, of course), and told that he was dis-
covered, but providing a correct account of
himself could be given, he would be allowed
to keep the property, (which was done), and
after giving the officer his address, they part-
ed. The detective went directly to the sta-
tion house, where the gentleman would be
most likely to first proceed, (and was correct),
and told his fellow-detectives and officers of
the fact, and awaited results, or waited for a
few days and then the before note was sent.
Then the thief was visited. The watch was
put In pawn, and in process of time, and iii
the why I have stated it was returned to the
owner. Now of course any one would on
the impulse of the moment ask, why? And
muse some time upon the particulars, ere
they could convince themselves flint it would
have been altogether best for the detective to
have arrested the thief upon the spot. Let
me give you the reason I heard—mot. my own
-—'and you can draw your own conclusions.
lst.—-’l‘liieves must live; they get a lively-
hood by their occupation. and they must be
supported. Had the officer made an attempt
to make an arrest, the watch would have been
t it bright not, be very valuable. If it was, of
Course it would be advertised, and if it was
known where it was, it could be had, at any
time, and in perfect order, for the thief rc-
ccived instructions; train the oflicer, not to
, part with it Wltlitilll. his. consent, (as I forgo:
to relate.)

money went to the thief, which, of course,

thrown away,doubilcss spoiled. It; might-,or-
the watch would have brought at a forced sale.
And had he escaped he would have made
some other one a victim, and it would have
resulted in almost the some way, for the
thieves are all known (as a rule) to the dc-
tectives, and when a lost article of much val-
ue is advertised, the thieves are visited, and
as they are all in a. league together (of which
I will state more particular in my next
paper) the thing iii question is gotten
possessiOn of.
The foregoing is a fact, as can be known
by any one, who may take the trouble to in-
vestigate such matters, or I should never
have dared to write what I have upon the
subject. M. C. S.

JUNE 26TH, on THE mm HAVEN WATER
QUESTION.
Mn. SPEAKER: I rise to give the metri-
bers of this House a little of my own per-
sonal experience and observation, instead of
a great display of oratory and eloquence, of
which they have already had a large supply.
We have been so hefogged by the lawyers of
this session that we can hardly tell, at. times,
what our duty is. Their education has been
to learn how to make a lie appear like the
truth, and the truth like a lie. ’I‘licir teach
lug only leads to bewilder, and dazzles to
blind. Fellow sufferers, if they would only
do us the kindness to ask for leave of ab
.scence for a few days, would not we kill the
futted calf, and hold a jubilee that would
eclipse all others in magnitude ? I have
heard it said that this House of Representa-
tives has too much talent to get along with
business fast. I think that is a mistake.
But the trouble is, we have not enough mod-
estly among the talking members.
propose to look a little into the subj eel.
of vested rights, as they are claimed to exist,
as being children of the State. It is claimed
flint we must protect these children, if they
are only one year old, or five, ten or twenty,
as in the New Haven Water Company.
Then a disposition is manifested by some to
always protect them. We were told a few
days ago that Daniel Webster, that great
statesman, whose letter to Hulsemau, the
Austrian Secretary of State, entitled him to
the gratitude of all, found one of these ves-
ted rights children up in New Hampshire
(who had been created by a former king of
England), one hundred and forty years old.
The massive form of Webster beheld that
child with such reverence and admiration
that his eyes were as large as bull’s eyes, and
he was unable to speak, while the tears rol-
led d6wn his manly checks as large as win-
ter urples in October. Now I think he made
a great. booby of himself over this vested
rights child of one hundred it’ll forty years.
I understand that our State is not bound to
protect them, we should stop creating any
more, or we shall: soon be in the situation
of the recruiting officer who reported he. had
got in one week twelve oflicers and twosol-
diets. We shall have six of’ these vested
rights children to be supported to each ludi-
vldual who may be here to support them.
That will never do. The true policy for the
State to pursue is let. these children work or
starve; or, in the more emphatic language,
“Root/hog, or die.”
The next question .to settle about this
matter is, Is the water good ? No man’s
iudgementisto be depended on unless he
has been brought: up where the water is of
the best quality, or has travelled extensively.
The opinion of my venerable friend from
New Haven, Mr. Phelps, for whom I have
a great respect,I could not depend upon.if he
has been living steadily in that ctty. Taste
is a cultivated sense, and is brought to bend
to almost an y circumstances: You see this if-
lustrated by what people mix With water to
make it bearable to drink. Some use black.
tea, some Young Hysou, and others green
tea, and all ofthcm more or less, use sugar,
molasses, cream or milk each thinking that
their own particular kind of tea, and manner
of mixing, is the oul way water can be
made fit to drink. ‘lio same variety notions
exist in the use of coflee. You see the same
principle exists in the use of tobacco and ci-
gars, each person using either of the articles,
wonderfully attached to the peculiar kind he
happens to be m the habit of usmg, all cull-
ing their particular kinds the very best. But
how do any of these kinds taste to those in—
dividuuls, like myself, who never use any of
these articles? They pronounce. them all
bad, without hesitation or exception. The
same principle applies on what we eat. That
man who lives on salt pork, and eats it every
day will not discover that his pork. is sppil-
iug, till it is some ways advanced in being
unfit to use. That farmer who may be one
of the best livers in the country, may com-
mence feeding his cows feed that produces
poor butter; if the change is only gradual
he will get to eating very poor butter before
he knows anything about it himself, or nits-
trusts there is anything wrong. Every
merchant in this house knows that every old
woman who curries butter to his storetbinks
her butter is the best quality found in the
market. Whether he thinks it is fit to cut
or not, she knows it is just right. The same.
rule applies to the use 01 hquoraEach person
who indulges in their use has ugreat likin g
to one particular kind which he perfers be-
fore all others. As I told you I preferred
giving my experiguce. _I willtcll you what
took place down In Middletown when we
were all there to lay that corner stone. I sat
down to the table by the side of a gentleman
from this city. Right before us a plate of
pickled clams. He took ball of them on to
his plate the first haul. I had never seen
any clams but whatI liked, raw or_ cooked.
But. I felt a little suspicion about liking them
and only took one. Tire result was that
clam went under the table forthwith. We
find by observation that different. nationali-
ties have their peculiar attachments to the
different kinds of food. As, foriustance, the
Dutch eat sour krout, the French soup, the
Irish potatoes, the Virginians hoe crke, the
Yankees pork and molasses, the Hartford
man pickled cluml. But I dont. So I have
found by travelling about. the world that
large sections of the country are supplied
Willi very poor water and the people in those
sections think they have the very best water
in existence. Two years ago next week I
Went to Albany and boughta lot of cattle
and drove them home. The weather was
very warm and the water in Albany very
poor. I flattered myself that as soon as
cotrld get on the road this srde of the river,
I should find good water. I stopped often
to get water to drink. Found the folks ru-
dnlging in the belief they had the very best
water the world affords. But I had to come
thirty miles this side of the Hudson beforel
came to any water that I called In t9 driirk.
In the spring of 18:14 I took possessron of a
farm which I had bought the winter before.
The water in be well was good who-i ‘I
bought the farm. As soon as I had got my
family moved there, my tiups unloaded,
night came on. I went and brought a put]
of water from the Well, and my folks pre—
pared supper with their usual supply of ten.
When we began to drink the ten, we could
not stand the taste of it. It tasted very
strong of barnyard. We examined the uten-
sils all over, could find nothing wrong lll
them. Went to the water pail, lasted of the
water, anti found that tasted like the tea,
very strong of barnyard. Tire folks who had
lived there for years could disciiver nothing
wrong in either tea or water. The result
wasI had to go to a neighbor‘s well, and
get all the water we used for culinary pur
poses and drinking in airy form till the first

after had good water, except about three
weeks the next spring, when the frost was
going out of the ground,during which time
we had to go to the neighbors after water.
In the course of my experience I have al-
ways found that domestic animals will be
have very near as their owners want them to.
If your neighbor has twenty cows, and one
yoke'of oxen, and he wants them to get into
your fields of corn, rye, oats, grass, or any
other mischief, they will surely do so. When
I bought that farm, I bought the stock with
it. Among other animals there was one cow
which had been on the farm some years.—
She had got learned to drink the poor water
in the well and could not see much differ-
ence between that and the puddle in the yard.
That cow would come out of the pasture
where good water was plenty, and unless she
was watched, would drink the worse looking
water I ever saw in any barn yard. hen
ever she succeeded in getting it at night the
milk the next morning would smell like the
water she drank in the yard. It would pro-
duce a. very strong odor in the room where
it. stood through the day, and the cream on
the milk would become white, mouldy, and
full of blubbers in the first twelve hours, at
the end of which time it would get into the
swill pail without any ceremony. Now up-
ply this principle of poor water to the con-
stant use of families, and particularly where
they are raising families of children and see
if you can not discover a cause for the death
of so many children. The reason why the
water in those hikes must be good is that they
are ab we the agricultural operations of the
people and all their domestic animals. The
tendency of everything filthy, putrid and im-
pure, is to run down hill. We read,al a cer—
tain time, where 2,000 swine were quietly
feeding, suddenly they became possessed of
a legion of devils, full of devils inside and
out, and they all run violently down a steep
hill and were drowned in the. lake. How
can it be expected that Mill river can furnish
good water when it has the wash of more
than fifty miles of roads, and hundreds of
thousands of acres of land devoted to agri-
cultural purposes, pcuucd upon a, great bed
of muck and peat, which always makes the
best of water tasle like an old swamp. Poor
wafer always produces iutempcraucc. Iqtbe
year 1851, I went to Montreal and bought a
few horses. Tire water in that city is very
poor and not one of those ineu pretended to
drink it without reducing it with French
brandy. It. was about the first of September,
and hot weather. I drank more liquor at
that time, in one day, than all I have drank
since; I was no more drunk than I am at
What. is true in Montreal is
true all over the West, wherever the water
is poor the men mix whiskey with it. I
know a young man who never drunk any
strong drink in this section in his life. He
went. West and stayed less than one year,but
he got so in the habit of drinking that it has
.ruiued huh and destroyed the happiness of
his family. The water is so poor in Bridge-
port tlrut they have to mix large quantities
of whiskey in it. It is poorer yet in New
Haven, and I am very sorry to see my friend
Churchill engaged in the ruin interests of
New Haven. (Tire Rev. Mr. Churchill had
been advocating the claims of the old com-
puny.) and I am sorry to see Gen. Lee, and
my friend Bicon, from Middletown, helping
him. But it is so natural forlawyers to pitch
in somewhere, that they don’t. wait to see
whether they are right or wrong. They are
always ready to take either side. They do
not care which. They can be pig or puppy,
squeal or whine, grunt or bark. They have
always got an axe to grind. I have said that
poor water is the father of intcmperauce. On
the same principle it is the grandfather of
crime. Soon after Sam Houston went down
into Texas, he was standing in the deck
where there were several barrels of whisky;
and old Indian stepped tip to Mr. Houston
and said. what is in that single barrel, Mr.
Houston? Whiskey I expect, was the reply.
No, the Indian says, it is nothing but two
murders and forty fights. What is true in
Texas is true all over the world. Our State
prisons are filled in consequence of poor wa-
ter indirectly, as all can see. Another of the
evil consequences of poor water is the loss of
health. About a dozen years ago I took
eight or ten men into the forest, built a
house and went to work making charcoal,
the healthiest business in the World. We
built our shanty close to what we thought to
be a good spring, but as soon as the frost was
nicely out of the ground, we found our water
was bad, and the men would be sick nearly-
half the time unless we went about two rods
the other side'of the bill after our water to
use. Tire spring near the shanty became im-
pure as soon as the weather became warm.
It sometimes happens that old wells become
impure after having been used years. Seven
out of nine, from one family, were poisoned
to death in the town of Sharon b such a
well, six or seven years ago. Dr. emiug,
one of the members of this house, was the
attending physician. Tlieyconstituted one
of the most intelligent, enterprising, indus-
trio :3 families in the town. Two men, one
woman, and four boys, from ten to twenty
years old, died in consequence of that well
of impure water. In a city like New Hu-
ven there can scarcely be u. well where the wa-
ter is good the year round. This is the rea-
son why three times as many small childen
(lie in cities furnished with poor water as die
in the country, in proportion to the number
which are born. Those little folks in New
Haven are held by the threat, in a struggle
forliic itself, by this. old_compuny, and all
fi 1' this reason. that the company, want to
make money by forcing this stinking, putrid
water down their little innocent throats.—
Tliat company now that Mill River is shud-
ed with factories and piivies, and fed by the
juice of barn-yards and hog stys and the
thousand undone other things always attend-
iirg an industrious and civilized population,
all of which impurities can never be got rid
of. The new company‘s water is situuded
upon those hillsbigh and dry above all the
attending impurities of a large population.
(Allusion being made to Mr. Bennett, who
said that the cattle are feeding to—day on the
ground of those imaginary lakes, and if it
does not rule within six weeks they have to
be drove to the Connecticut river to drink.)
I live between two mountain streams. On
one of these there is a little factory standing
where they employ about; thirty hands in the
.midst of a population of about one hundred
inhabitants, and it has the wash of one hun-
dred acres of' cleared land. Tire other stream
is clear front the filthy effects of a close pop-
ulation. My horse will not drink one parti-
cle of the water from the stream where the
factory stands, but is ever ready to drink
from the other stream. It you are going to
continue tonse the water from the old com-
pany, yon,iii order to make use of strong ex-
pression,1uust change the adage from a stom-
ach like a horse to a stomach like New Ila-
Wu.
1 have always been thankful that where
my eyes first saw the light. there was a pure
mountain stream running close by the house,
shaded by hemlocks, where the water was so
pure and good that there was no occasion for
reducing it with bad whiskey to make it. fit
to drink. But, it. is said that the new com.
pany will not lay the pipes if they get. their
charter. Then the shortest way to get rid of
them is to give them the charter. But friend
Churchill says that they want. to levy black
in ul on the old company. That is not so bad
as murder. I charge the chi company with
a slow process of murder, this forcing peo—
ple to use water that a horse would not drink
if he had find where the water is good.—
Bul. it is said that the chi c-flupllly have had
but. one dividend of two per cent. since its
organization. In Litcbtield county We should
be glad to get help if we had such an unprof-
itable job on hand as to supply a city with
water with a dividend of two per cent. once
in twenty years. Misery loves companydiut
the old company exerci e great patience iii
wailing IOdiviilends. The barred fig tree
was to be sorely (all. down in four years. No
other article that We have in lizok out for is
of so much conscqiu-nce to its as pure water.
Man calls for “Inter llIll llf‘l' than for any
thing else. He wants it in sickness; or
wants it to use on or in nlun at creiyiliing he
has anything to do with in this World, and
it is the first Want. in the future state of some,
if there is any thing to be learned by the
parable of the rich man and Lazarus. Its
value to the city of New Haven, with such a
great fall as has been described here, for fire
purposes irrigation, power for mechanical
purposes, safety of life, are all subjects of
which I shall not speak, each subject being
of sufficient importance to demand a long
discourse. I tliiuk it must be right and Dem-
ocratic, to leave if. in the people to decide
this matter for themselves. They may not
be good judges of water, for I can hardly
understand how they ever have seen any
that was good, but as they are so deeply in-
terested I am not afraid to leave it: to them.
It is said that the new company had but 19
votes last year in the Legislature. But I
think we shall change that vote to one hun-
dred and ninety this year. Yes, make it ten
times as large as the number last year. I am
making no effort to obtain a gold headed
cane from any company this year. I am try-
ing to help those little helpless innocents to
pure healthy water, of whom it is written.
“I was thirsty and ye gave me water to drink,
I was hungry and ye gave bread to eat.”-
The reward of which is, “Come ye Blessed
of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared
for you from the foundation of the world."
But what shall I an to that very small
number, Willi my frieu Churchill at tbelr
head. who will not give water to these little
ones, and are trying all they can to prevent
others from lrelpiug them to obtain a full sup-
ply of pure water. Ob, remember that the
Bible says for this heinous sin, "Depart from
me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire prepared
for the devil and his angels.”

'of Union to seats in the House, and that
Chauncey Paul and Henry I". Corbin (repub-

with ear-Speakers Foster, Eaton and others,
he must decide that the motion (of Mr. Ben-

vious question, was not in order. he ques-

resolution, declaring Town not entitled to
his seat, be adopted. No other motions
could be received and no discussion would

Without an attempt to fillibuster, they
permitted a vote to be taken on the first
of the three resolutions (declaring that Mr.

the result was as follows: Ayes 100, Days

was announced-ayes 6, nuys 119. Mr. Lee
instantly got the floor and moved the previ‘
ous question on the second resolution. Mr.
Lull moved to adjourn,uud called for the ayes
and nuys on the motion. The tedious pro-
cess was again gone through with, the re-
maiuiug democratic members mostly leav-
ing to avoid a vote and precipitate an ad-
journment. But there were ayes 5, Days 114
—total 119, which the speaker announced,
counting himself, still made a quorum.—
(Loud applause). As soon as the result was
declared, and before the retreating member:
had returned, Mr. Lee sprung to his feet and
moved the previous question on the second
resolution. Tire speaker adopted the spirit
of the occasion, and put the motion viva
voce. It was carried; and the resolution
was then put and carried, and the House ud-
journed while the democratic skulkcn, be-
coming aware of mischief, were tuuuin
back bewildered, holdin y their hands an
shouting, “Mr. SpeakerI r. 8 ker !" “I
move we adjourn l” .“I wish to excused 1"
“Ayes and nays !" And before they could
understand the dilemma the speaker had de-
clared the House adjourned amid the pro-
longed cheers of of the republicans.
