Those Telegrams.
Governor English, in his private and per»
sonai character is every. inch a gentleman.
He is moreover, a man of benevolent heart
and more than ordinary suavity of manners.
As such we esteem and even admire him.
But Gov. English as a democratic partisan. is
a very different sort of a being and ill all the
little arts of the dcmagoguc, quite as censur-
able as the frost of disloylll men who shouted
over his political triumph. In his character
as politician on Monday last he sent, as he
had a perfect. right to do, a congratulatory
dispatch to the democratic Governor elect of
California, as follows :—
erzw lIAqu, Conu., Sept. 0, 1867.
Box. Ilnxnx II. HAIGIIT, San Francisco,
Governor elect of California .-
I congratulate you on your election. It will gladdcn
the friends of Constitutional Liberty the country
through. JAIlss E. Exams“.
To this Mr. Height at once sent the fol-
lowing reply :—
SAN FRANCISCO, 0111., Sept. 0, 1867,
-To Govnuxon James E. ENGLISH:
Thanks for your dispatch. California has echoed
the voice of Connecticut ! You set us agiorious
example-we have but followed where you led, in
the sacred cause of Constitutional Liberty,
HENRY II. IIAIoIIT
This reply, as it came off the wires, was
handed us to read on the occasion of the
Goscrnor’s visit to Norwnlk and his recep-
tion of his fellow cz'llzens here. Although
we do not hold him responsible for the bad
gram 5 i purely partizan in'its nature, on such
an occasion, we do wish to understand a lit-
tle more clearly, what Mr. English means by *
his phrIlSe “Constitutional Liberty." Es-
pecially are we interested in this solution,
when our most respectable Governor has
been to the pains of having the “Associated
Press" retelegraph the correspondence to
every newspaper in the land. Does Mr. Eu-
glish mean that “Constitutional Liberty” ex:
prcsscd in the Declaration of Independence,
wherein it affirms that “all men are born'
free, and tqual ‘1’" Does he mean that “Con-
~slithtional liberty“ for which he voted and in
defiance of his party dictation, whenhe sus-
Iain’cd the bill in Congress abolishing,
slavery in the District of Columbia, and for -
which he was hung in effigy at New Haven
by the baser unreasoning adherents of his
party 2 ‘ '
, Does he mean that “constitutional liberty”
which he again sustained in Congress in op-
position to the full line of his party leaders,
amending our organic law so that “neither
slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist"
{within the limits of the American Unlon ?
Fer these aids given to genuine “Constitu-
tional liberty," we at the time, gave him, as
we have in repeated instances since, our
most hearty commendation. In the same
proportion that his own party, press and
leaders assailed his action on these occasions,
did the liberty-loving of the land applaud
his courage and his fidelity to true “Consti—_
tutional Liberty." For these votes we are
confident he has the apprOVal oi his own
conscience, and revel‘cntly believe the ap-
proving smile of a just. God, who Is no re-
specter‘ of persons. We as fervently believe,
in that. hour approached by all, when earthly
honors and distinctions hideaway, his mind
.will revert to no one act of his life fraught
with so much satisfaction.
More recently, we have found Mr. English
ltbe recipient; of the powors of an other class
Eofmen. Men,who during all our terriblestrug-
igle for “Constitutional Liberty" were landing
lthc cause of the South, rejoicing over their
Evictories and our defeats. We find him the
standard bearer of the party that discouraget
’enlistments, resisted the draft, hauled (low __
the glorious old stars and stripes and ran up
“peace flags" all over our State. Men—no
they are not. men, but maddencd partiznns— '
who, when our poor boys in blue were
slaughtered on the field or starved in rebel
prison-pens and dungeons, had no other"
'word of sympathy than the stereotyped
“served them right." .
We recall, moreover, that only a few
months past, when the lightnings bore the
tidings of his triumph over that brave sol-
dier of the Union Army, Gen. Joseph R.
Hnwlcy, whats howl of rejoicing went up
from every rebel throat and press, north and
south of Mason and Dixon’s line. We re-
member the special efforts made by the per-‘
fidious AndrewJohnson, to secure his tri-
umph here in Connecticut, not as an expo:
nent of the principles of that “Constitutional
Liberty" baptized in the blood of the assas-
“sinated Lincoln and the more than two ltun~
dred thousand brave, Union-loving and
Union-deiezding boys who now moulder in
patriotic graves. Not for that “Constitu-
tional Liberty" made sacred and supreme by
that" innumerable multitude of martyrs per-
ished in its hallowed cause. Not for that
“Constitutional Liberty” for which the na-
tion today bears its burden of taxation im-
posed upon us by the traitorous hands that
would overthrow our fair government.
But, is it not for that “Constitutional Lib-
erty” for which the Maryland democrats (?)
yearned when they met last. weekto ratify
their new State Constitution, when one
ring the war were with the South, and the
meeting broke up with cheers for Jeff Davis
_tional Liberty" that Calhoun espoused, that
'michanan and Jerry Black announced when
they proclaimed that the south had no right
to secede, but the nation had no right to pre-
vent thcm? In short, is it not just that.
“Constitutional Liberty” which means if the
democratic party last: a Presidential cleclzon
they will not submit but seek an overthrow
of the government instead.
Honest men of Connecticut, be not deceiv-
ed by those arts and sophistrics of the dis- .
loyal democracy. .Lct every vacant place by '
our firesides, and every mound in our village
cemctrics, rebuke this arrogant assumption
of special regard on the part of these men
for “Constitutional Liberty.” Let it be a
source of patriotic pride, as Henry Wilson
eloquently and trutllfdlly says, “that. we be-
long to apolitical party that never gave a
traitor to the ranks of the country’s enemies, '
never fired upon the dear old flag, never
sent one shot into the bosom of its defenders,
nor shed one drop of loyal blood. We may
sink into the bosom of the land our ideas
made free and our policysaved in the assured
'consciousness that the press—st age, all com-
ing ages and Almighty God, will hold us
guiltless of the crimes, the blood, the tears
of sorrow or agony of this dark and troubled
era, through which the nation has struggled
to preserve its menaced life."

Wile captions and uncertain “A. J .,” it
is asserted, has concluded to remain quiet
until after the fail elections for fear the re-
sult may be disastrous to his “policy.” No
public man has ever so thoroughly earned
the popular contempt and indignation of the

who fawn around him, must be nauseated

A GOOD SUGGESTION.—A capital idea has
= suggested itself to some one, to affect the
widening of the street running from the rail-
road crossiug at South Norwalk towards
Wilson's. It is to have the town pay the cost
of setting back the fences provided the pro-
prietors, on either side, give ten feet of their
yards to the highway. Such a widening of
that Avenue would enhance every foot. of
property twenty-five per cent. The line of:
shade trees could ‘casily be carried in, this '
full, so as to not materially check their
growth. This can he done now, but a few
years hence when necessity will-- compel the
alteration, it will be too late to save the trees-

County Agricultural Society. For the first

auspices of a permanent location ; with an
Exhibition Hall securely and appropriately
built ; with a permanent and secure Judges
staud,alld opposite a spacious Pavilion where
the eager sight secrs can behold with safety
and comfort. every movement on track and

apparent to every one and ought, as undoubt-
edly will, add largely to tlleilltercst and mag-
nitude of the Exhibition. Excursion
trains will run down the Danbury Railroad,
and a train running at short intervals, will
go up and down during each day and even-
ing from South Norwal-k and the Bridge to
the grounds, where a. side track and platform
is to be provided for the accommodation of
such passengers. The grounds are most cli-
gibly located and we deem it the rarest good
fortune that they have been secured. -Tho
Various attractions of the week will be com-
prehended by reference to the Society‘s ald-
vcrtisement in another place. The Exhibi-
tion Hall will encourage the bringing out of
many articles not hitherto exhibited by len-
son ofour having no secure place for exposi-
tion. The society makes the very liberal o -
fer of something near Three Thousand Dol-
lars in Premiums. The various judges have
been selected with care and we hope to see a
collection of our farmers and citizens from
all parts of the county such as will give a
new impetus and renewed interest to our
County's progress. .Tllese annual gather;
ings are of incalculablc benefit to our farm-
ers, cattle ruisers, fruit growers, manufactur-
ers all-.1 people, by reason of what they see
and hear,nnd most of all the opportutunity
it affords for extending personal acquaint-
ance and friendly interchanges of opinions
and experiences. Get out the big wagons
therefore, and bring the entire family, inclu-
ding “J ohn" and “Bill" and “Kate" and
“June" of the “help” department, to the Fair.

We must have more Houses.
: 'We casually overheard a ,master builder
grelnsrk last week,that he would like to ‘ erect
see-"field
which thereisaprcssing demand, but that
'he could not borrow adollar for thatflpur-
pose, either from our monied men or our
Savings Bank. Ofcourse, we take it for
the necessity for more houses we have a
practical and positive knowledge, and judg-
ing from the applications made at our office
since J auuary, last we are confident that see-
cl'al hundred houses, ranging from $600 down
to $100 per year, would have been taken had
,they been here and attainable. We were only
:lust week assured by one of the managers of
'our new Iron Works that they have thus far
been able to secure but sever: tenements and
boarding places for but m'ne more of their in-
us, that they cannot get on with less than 150
men—and could use 300 if there were any
place for them to live. These men 'wllo do
come, must go down to Daricu, and Slam-
ford, 10 Westporl, Soulhport and Brldgeport
, slmpkccpcrs in these towns they earn and re-
ceive from us. Now this is no trifling state
9f things. The fact is patent 1115‘! even at
the enormous costof labor, houses might be
erected that would pay 20 per cent.‘upon
their costs and it is a culpable indifference on
the part of our large manufacturing compr-
nie's, ourjrich men, with money idle or in
stocks and bonds, that they do not for their
houses. It is estimated that in the single
= town of Norwalk, more than a million of dol-
lars is held in Government and . foreign
stocks. This is well, yet where a local ne-
CCSslty exists, as it does here in Norwuik, for
local investments in houses for our people,- it
becomes the part ofjduty of good citizenship
to do something to meet this demand, even
though the cherished Government be put. in-
to the New York market for sale.
Our Savings Bank, a model of its kind,
Well and more prudently managed than any
similar institution,’we opine, if "we may take
, its last report to the Legislature has‘the pow-
er to help N orwalk along in this regard im-
measurably. We append its table :—

Loans on Real Estate, $245,024.

Loans on Personal Security, 44,600.

What do we here see. While only $245,-
034 are leaned on real estate, (meaning un-
doubtedly buildings)—nearly halfa million of
dollars or $340,402 are loaned on Personal
security, stocks and Bonds. From this in-
vestment, loans fortbe erection of two thous-
and new houses, could be safely and profitably
made if its managers were so disposed, and
we earnestly appeal to these men, who cer-
tainly can have no incentive other than to
promote our growth, to sell out their hundred
thousand dollars of Bank & Railroad stocks,
,or even their $200,000 of Securities in order,
to aid in the gland and glorious enterprise of:
supplying nbodcs for the people eager to
come and live among us, and now unable to

that the assemblage had gathered for a form-—
a ‘leave taking" of theirlong-time and much
beloved employer. Mr. Hoyt was the recip-
ient of gundry gifts of a tangible and valua-
ble character, accompanied by sundry com-
munications, which to him must be of far
more precious worth, inasmuch as they ex-
pressed a iervid gratitude and regard for him
as their benefactor and- friend. 'Such occa-

W A few days since a cow belonging to
Judge Smith, some how managed to fall into
an old well which had been covered with
boards. She “went. down stern foremost," a
distance of about twelve feet. Her situation
being discovered, a rope was got and efforts
made to pull her out, but without success,
the rope constantly slipping off. Finally
Mr. Green, the butcher, happened on the
scene, when the rope was attached to her
horns, a derrick improvised, and the animal
drawn forth, with no bones broken and up-

While on a recent trip eastward we passed
over and returned by the Shore Line Rail
Road, and were much pleased with the great
improvements that have been made in the
wcrkiug and character of this road during the
past three years, indeed, the road and its up-
pointments are fully equal to any in the
State, and we find the traveling public aware
of the fact as the trains were large and well
filled with passengers.
The improvements, we suppose, are due to -
the untiring exertions of its popular Presi-
dent, S. if. Scranton, whose tact and skill
in the management of the Shore Line is wor-
thy of imitation on roads of greater preten-
sions, even ill our own State. If any of our
readers desire a pleasant route while going
or coming from the eastern States we advise
them to trythe Shore Line from New Haven,
promising them an agreeable ride over this
road with good accommodations and cont-
parative freedom from the annoyance of dust
which is so objectionable on litany Inill'oads.

at that point as our somewhat li nitcd nauti
cal knowledge would admit of, and failed to
see the great injury that would result to the
navigation of the Connecticut River by plac-
ing a suitable draw bridge there, for accom-
modation of the Shore Line Road and its nu-
merous passengers' indeed We believ: that a
draw bridge with 120 feet space each side of
the center pier, that silonlllbe kept open, ex-
cept while trains are passing, during the pe-
riod of navigation of the river, would not
seriously injure the river traffic.either by sail-
ing Vessels or steamers, and we trust. that
whenever our friends in the eastern portion
of the State again ask for a draw bridge at
'Snybrook, our Legislature will grant the rc-
qucst even if the project should be opposed
by the witch title argument. ,

Sill Regiment Encampment.
We doubt if a more satisfactory and in all
respects interesting and profitable military
gathering has taken place in our Safe, than
the last weeks’ encampment of our County
Regiment. We know that Gov. English and
the Military Commissioners were more than
gratified by the exhibition made of military
drill and discipline. The review by General
Kellogg was quite satisfactory, and subse-
quently that by the Governor entirely so.
Considering the brief time since .its organiza,
tion and the limited time for drill, the Regi-
ment is indeed entitled to much praise for its
soldierly attainments. The Governor re-
peatedly expressed his admiratibn of the
Regiment and also spoke in glowing terms 1
of our beautiful town, of which he had ,
formed his opinion entirely from what he
had seen from the car windows in passing
through.
On Wednesday evenlng Col. Crnufurd and
the officers of the Regiment gave a dinner
to Ills Excellency the Governor, at which a 1
number of civilians, from this and adjoining
towns, were present. The“spread” was pre- 3
t
pared by “mine host Foster" in his best style i
and the viands were Appreciatingly appro- -,
printed. At the conclusion of the banquet
Col. Crnuinrd drew out His Excellency in a
toast, whereupon Mr. English in a few suc-
cinct-words expressed the pleasure he had
experienced in his visit. to Norwalk ; his ad-
miration of the 8th Regilneni, and to the dc-
light of all present, his unqualified approval
of our present military law. Ill the strong-
est tellns that language could utter he as-
certed his conviction that “Connecticut
could not ofl'ord to dispense with her voluntary
military system." Remarks were subsequent-
ly made by Judge Carter, Gen. Kellogg, Col.
F.St.Jollu Lockwuod, Capts. H. K. Scott,W.
R. Smith and others.
The Governor and his Staff left in the 10
o‘clock Il‘illn for New Haven. While here
he was the guest of Asa Smith, Esq , where
our citizens, without distinction of party,
paid their respects to him on Tuesday eve-
ning. He was also serenaded by the Regi-
mental Baud, during the evening.
A steamer ran to and from Bridgeport du-
ring the encampment, and a little propeller
yacht, from the same city enlivened our bay
by carrying passengers between the steam—
boat dock and Gregory's Point. Acouple of
Bridgeporters in a sail-boat upset off the
camp ground on Wednesday, as they were
about to set sail for home.- They came 05
with a thorough drenching,
An incident occurred on Flidlty, just be-
fore breaking camp,which we are glad to re-
cord. The Trumbull Company—the largest
on the ground—was drawn up in a circle
ill the company street, when Capt. Plumb
was formally presented with or elegant
Sword and belt. The presentation was made
in behalf of the conlpany,_by Licut. James
R. Middle-brook, in a neat little speech, clos-
ing wilh nine hearty cheers for the gallant
Captain. Capt Plumb was fairly surprised
but succeeded in making a short and happy
speech ill reply, gratefully accepting the to-
ken of regard so kindly tendered.
The weather was surpassingly beautiful
(hiring the cncampment,and every thing pass-
ed off ill the most satisfactory manner. Long
live and prosper the Connecticut Militia.

Y. M. C. A. Lectures.
This issue of the GAZETTE contains an ad-
vertisement of a course of lectures, to be de-
livered during the coming lecture season un—
der the auspices of the Young Men‘s Christ;-
ian Association of Norwalk. The Commit-
tee appointcd to take charge of this branch
of the Association, have done their utmost to
present to the citizens of Norwalk, :1 course
ticket which shall be at once attractive and
commendable, both for the judicious selec-
tion of lecturers and the very reasonable price
at which we offer them. We have not been
able to obtain the services of some whom we
desired to bear, but we venture the assertion
that -in the coming course of lecture: the
people of this town will partake of as rich
an intellectual banquet as was ever placell
Wltllin their grasp by any association or or-
ganization whatsoever. We have endeavor-
cd to present a course which shall not be
monotonous, but have tried to introduce
lecturers to please all who are wont to pat-
ronize them, and bring forward new means
to entice those who hitherto have nev—
er availed themselves of the benefits of such
an cntcrtuinmen', to purchqe our tickets.
We offer our single course tickets for $3.00,
and our double course _ tickets
for $5.00, for the course. Each ticket on the
double course will admit agentlcman and la-
dy and the reduction is such as to induce
each gentleman desirous of attending the
lectures, to purchase a double ticket. The
evening tickets will be 50 cis. and will not be
sold until the some evening 01 each lecture,
provided a. sufficient number of season tick-
ets are taken to fill the best seats in the hall.
The course ticket holders by taking their
tickets to the shire of Andrew Sellcck, three-
dnys previous 10 each lecture, can reserve
their seats for the lecture without extra ex-
pense. The course tickets are placed in the
hands of S"V(’l‘al young ladies of the place,
who have kindly and generously offered
their services in this labor of love. Tickets
may also he obtained at the store of Andrew
Sellcck, or of either of the Lecture Commit-
tee. The nail. proceeds will be used in re-
plenishing the library, to which any one
may have access upon the payment of $2 00
annully, so that any one purchasing a course
ticket, is but casting bread upon the waters,
which shall return to them after not many
days.

We are pleased to see that our friend the
Gazette is now able to print a poster of such
mammoth dimensions, and probably that is
the reason why the Falljz‘elcl County Agricul-
tural Society gives that enterprising paper
all their printing, as it. is necessary to have
a large bill to attract attention to the fair.
We find no fault, of course, with the society
for not dividing the printing to the other
county journals, but if it is so on account of
the Gazette being able to print the largest
poster, the society is simply mistaken, for if
the secretary wishes to “drop in here" he
will find posted on our walls show bills

times as large as the one noted in the Gazette

er, at the low rates which we charge, and is
divided up between Bridgeport and N or-
walk offices—so you need not expect us to
grow rich off of the plofits of that work.
