‘6 Land!’ no 1
During the recent convulsion of public
sentiment in England in reference to elect-
oral and associative Reforms, one Earnest
Jones, a popular orator, thus peorates an ad-
dress to the working men, by this reference
,0 his view of the cause of the great disturb-
ing element in the English body politic. He
exclaimed :— _ ‘
uThe source and origin. I might_almost
say, of a‘l the evils that exist in the relations
oi labor and capital is the monopoly and
consequent misuse of the land.” Inquiring,
uwho own it ‘2" he answered, “A constant-
]y diminishing number of landlords. In 1770
there were 250,000 landlords in the United
Kingdom; now there are less than 30,000,
of whom nearly 9,000 are in Ireland. Five
men—the Earl of Breadalbane, the Dukes of
Argyll, Athole, Sutherland, and Buccleuch
_.owu one~fourth of all the land in Scotland
twelve men possess the half; and half Eng-
land belongs to 150 persons. 30.000 men
say to 30,000,000 people- Here you shall
sow,and plow, and reap,and there not ; here
you 51,311 build, and plant, and work, and
there not ; here you shall breathe, and live,
and die, and nowhere else, except we per-
mit.” He went on to condemn the owners
'01 land for the large portions of it which they
allowed to lie uncultivated, and remarked:
“Some one may perhaps object that, if the
uncultivated land could be employed benc-
ficially, the aristocracy who own it would,
for their own sakes, have it done. Is it not
so ; they have placed it out of their own
power.” He further complained that the 're-
' sult of this monopoly of the land. and its
non cultivation consequent thereon, is that
the labor of the country requisite for the due
cultivation of the soil is driven to seek other
sources of subsistence. while the agricultural
laborer, when employed,tvas miserably paid.
With great force he added : “You think you
think you have free trade because you im-
port corn without duty. But so long as you
are not allowed free trade in the land that
bears the corn yonhave no right to boast of
your commercial freedom."
How difi‘ercnt the condition of things in
this country,- consecrated to liberty and
equal rights. Here the poorest, the most ab-
ject and ignorant foreigner who lands upon
our shores may possess in fee his little home-
stead lot or his broad acres, according to
his means. It isthis possibility that softens
and transforms the thriftless, perhaps intem-
pcrate laborer, to a land owner and a good
citizen. It is this possibility and growing
passion for possessing land-that frees us of
all the foreboding fears of many of our po-
litical economists, who apprehend evil and
only evil from the rapid influx of a foreign
population and their almost unerring politi-
cal allegicnce, with? their own, and as we
believe, their country’s worst foes. Open
wide your Castle Garden gates, say we, and
bid every honest foreigner a welcome, be he
Irish, Dutch, Norwegian,'Turk or Hottcntot.
Here under the broad, protecting folds of
the starry flag you shall find justice, equity
and, liberty. Here you shall secure to your-
self and to those dearer to you, a title to the
land whereon your domicile is erected,
which under our free laws is safe and more
secure to you and your children than any
castle of foreign prince or potentate. It is
u ith this same feeling that in richng about
the suburbs of Norwalk we rejoice to see.

He newly built. but humble cottage of the
Irish laborer. Many scare above a good
sized dry goods. box in proportions, but nev-
crthcless a house and a “home." Limited size

The Divine Lord and Master of us all, was
hm n in a stable. He who secures for him-
self a bit of land, ’ztherein becomes hence-
forth pledged to good citizenship. He is
thence anchored by deed and by interest and
by that. universal, but indescribable yearning
of every human being to be the possessor of
a ‘. iccc of mother earth.” Let. the numbers
of such increase and let nogpod citizen who
(li'ri l cs our loom growthand prosperity put
one single hindrance in. the way. Think you
that the Irishman who has become the pos-
sl ssor of a house and home that is dear to
Illill as the apple of, his eye, is going to al-
ways ally himself politically and personally
wit h. the party of free rum, with traitors
and law-breakers, with reckless expenditure

for the poorest and most prejudiced Irish-
nan can see when his own property is made
a pledge for public rascality. “ Irishman,”

thencciorth becomes. American. His chil-
dren,‘and his children’s children shall live
and, possess the land and here shall the
bones of. parent and children be laid for all
the coming time. Think you not thus, fel-
low citizen of older saxon blood, that it is
on racil omen that these adopted children of
want and oppression seek a. home among us.
The homestead and good citizenship go
hand in hand. Let their numbers multiply
and God bless and speed every efiort to se-
cure a home.
We have been led to this triads of thought
from vhe recent impetus given to movements
in real estate beneabouts. The sober and se-
den- citizen has looked on, with jealous eye,
at. what seemed to him a spirit of reckless
speculation. Thesharpcr brother has felt a
little envious, perhaps, that he could not se~
cure as favorable a chance for money get-
ting, and, altogether, there has been a. want
of hearty approval and encouragement: giv-
en the more active 11107633311 these land

lic, For one, widgaparsmount, earnest de-
sire for thegrgwth and prosperity of Nor-

tip: rich may secure their families a “Home.”
Blessings manifold on the heads of all such
men... Andnow,merchants, mechanics, and
workingmen of Norwalk, ye houseless and
homeless ones (and ye are almost “an innu-
merable company,”) take the earnest advice
of one who if he knows anything.- of disin-
terested motive, earnestly eucreats you to se-
cure now, or as soon. as may be, a home, at
least a lot, for the. old age that is creeping
upon you., Few of our best and most capo:
‘le business men stop to consider how much
easier it is to pay for a home than to pay
rents, ins community so rapidly growing as
our own. No matter if you owe for half or
the whole of it, if you have the nerve of 'a
man it will but stimulate you to greater en-
deavor and economy until you awake to find
yourself, the possessor, in your own right, of
one of “God’s acres.”
And now. Ye rich men and money lenders,
and ye managers of Savings Banks, here is
a wide field for comtemplation and duty for
you. You have done much, but what you
have done in the past multiplies and inten-
fies your duty at the present. If you would
enhance your already made investments, if
you would elevate and improve the charac-
ter and morals of a large class in the commu-
nity, aid all in their holy yearnings to be-
come possessors of 9. “HOME." It will pay
you, and pay us all better than investments
in Bank and Railroad stocks, or even in
government securities. Pay, inall the bless-
ings of better citizenship, in a reduction of
taxes, in a diminution of petty crime, in in-
' creased security of your own persons and
property, and the morals and welfare, pres-
cnt and future, of your children. We cu-
trcat you therefore, turn no poor man empty
away when it is in your power to settle the
case with him as to a home or no home.

Hail, 1711: Boys In Blue.
Don’t forget the rc-union of your valliant
old Regiment at Bridgeport this week. ’
<<.>.
WThe new Bank building front is now
being put up by the contractor. The work
has been admirably executed by Messrs.
Ellis &. Chatficld, of Bridgeport, and will be a
marked feature in our Norwaik architecture.
There is a short-sighted economy apparent
in cutting the iron safe vaults off so low
down from the ceiling. But a few years can
transpire, at most, before every inch of this
wasted room will be required. The cast cor-
ner, mw such an annoying eye-sore, is to be
polished ofi so as to relieve that blunder.
——o.<.>.
WThc new M. E. Church Parsonage is
now up and sheathed, and gives an earnest
of being a pretty little village residence.
-<.>-
W The new Bridge at Winnipauk is
about completed and it is certainly a deci-
ded improvement in that locality.
-—--——<~<-<:C,v>.
WThe awakened enterprise and public
spiritedncss of our Flax Hill neighbors has
commendably exemplified itself by the crec-
tion of a street lamp just above the Episco-
pal church. A similar improvement in the
street leading to the steamboat landing is
very much needed. John H. Knapp has the
frame of his new summer residence on the
old ancestral grounds erected and expects to
get the building enclosed before the severe
weather sets ll]. When completed it will
prove another attractive and Substantial
adonment of ye ancient Flax Hill.

RIVERSIDE AVENUE—This long contested
thoroughfare is now about completed up as
far as the “old Indian Cave," a locality fa-
miliar to all predatory Norwalk boys, and a
novel natural rock feature, which we are
glad that Sir Knight Martin Grace has pre-
served inviolate.

Street Lights.
It is seldom that we yield' to a prevalent
“fashion" of abusing the gas companies, or
snapping and snarling at the Borough Ty-'
coon. But the Want of lights in our streets
during the unsually dark nights of a week or
more past has been not only a very general
but a just complaint. We have heard of a
number of personal collisions, falls and in-
juries consequent upon the darkness. Two
ladies that we heard of were injured Sunday
evening in returning from church, in conse-
quence of the lamps not being lighted. In
days lang sync, people provided themselves
with lanterns, but since theintroduction of
gas and street lamps it would seem that the
puplic had a right to rely upon them, espec-
ially after paying the heavy gas biils report-
ed in the Borough account. -
.-.>.
Coucnaoarromn—At the close of Sun-
day morning services Dr. Childs proposed
the organization of a Church Bible Class for
instruction in the scriptures, one hour each
Sabbath. The proposition seemed to meet
with general favor. The hour mentioned
was from twelve to one, or immediately up-
on the close of the morning worship. The
afternoon service, hitherto held at 2 p. m.,
will therefore be deferred to evening—a
change, which, so far as alarge portion of
the society, and especially with the young
people are concerned, will be received with
special gratification. The change of the
hour of afternoon service in summer, from
two to three, has proved to most attendants,
we presume, going from bad to worse, so far
as personal convenience were concerned.—
This scripture exercise, after the manner of
“ye old time,” will, we trust also tend to hast-
en the proposed new Lecture Room and
Sabbath School apartments. This is the
only church and society in Norwalk, so far
as we are advised that. has no suitable provi-
sion for its Sabbath School necessities, and
it is ccntdinly not owing to its want of means.

Sermon EXAMINATION.—The close of the
summer term at the old Union School, now
under the superintendeney of Mr. E. F. Ba-
con, was the occasion of apublic examina-
tion on Thursday and' Friday last. The ex-
ercises were yery creditablehoth to teachers
and scholars, and were witnessed with pleas-
urable interest by quite a large number of
patrons and friends of the school. Mr. Ba-
ccn is a complete enthusiast in his vocation,
and if the children do not advance under his
earnest tuition it is not for the want of inces-
sant and determined effort on the Preceptcus
part. He is fortunate in having Miss Fitch,
as an assistant, who is also a most thorough
and accomplished teacher. Another assistant,
' whose name we did not learn, is to be add cd
to the force this week. We think every pa-
rent present, left the examination with a sat-
isfied conviction that this school is a model
of excellence in every respect save one, and
that, a most essential point. We refer to its
ventilation, which is 'simply abominable.—
This school is now so well sustained by the
public, that there is no excuse for so ill-ven-
tilated a school room, as every visitor must‘
have found this to be. No child can remain
in such a room, heated by one of the worst
contrivances in the world-a hot air furnace
—without experiencing serious injury. {How
teachers can bear it, is much a mystery, as it
is indicative of the powers of human endu-
rance. The room ought to be heated with
steam, and then by ventilators inserted at or
near the floor, a warm and pure current of
circulating air may be kept in constant mo-
tion throughout the room despite the hun-
dred) and more little human lungs constantly
at work vitiating it. This defect should be
remedied before another week elapscs.

DUPBEZ dr BENEDrcr's NEW ORLEANS
MINSTRELs are to appear at Norwalk Hall,
TuesdayEvening, Nov. 19th. All those who
enjoy a rich entertainment of Minstrelsy, will
be pleased at the above announcement. This
is one of the finest traveling Troupes in the
country, and they draw crowded houses
wherever they appear, and this place will
not prove an exception to the rule. This
Company introduces several new features in
the Cork Opera Programme, which are very
attractive and pleasing. Lew Benedict, one
of the Managers, is a great favorite with the
public and a host in himself.
This troup'c played in Hartford last week,
and the Want says gave the best Minstrel
performance that has been given in that city
for months. The New Haven papers say
that their music is of a high character and
unusually good. Always good, we still look
for a constant improvement so long as they
remain under the present able management.

WHarvey Fitch continued the auction
sale of his lots again on Saturday afternoon
last. The lots are peculiarly well located,
being midway between Winnipauk and the,
Bridge and whoever secures a lot at the ru-
ling prices, must of necessity make a good
bargain as they will rise in value with each
succeeding year. No man can purchase a
building lot nowhere within the limits of
Norwalk, at ruling, prices and fail to make
money thereby, in our humble judgment.

ic stroke, which may or may not, have been
superinduced by a simply irritating event of
the day previous. A workman threw a small
soft shell clam across the work room, which
striking the belt, threw the liquor upon Mr.
White’s glasses. This excited Mr. White's
resentment, but no indication of his subse-
quent sudden illness and death was then ap-

story of a hammer beingthrown and hitting

The State Teachers Institute.
This association, which held its annnal
meeting at Bridgeport last week, was large-
ly attended, and its proceedings were ex-
ceedingly interesting throughout. Lectures
were delivered on Friday by Prof. H.N.Day,
of New Haven ; Prof. Brewcfiof Yale Col-
lege; Prdf. B. G. Northrup, the Rev. W. L.
Gage, of Boston; Prof. Gilrnan~ of Yale;
Prof. H A. Hubbard, superintendent of com—
mon schools at Springfield, Mass, and oth-
ers. The subjects of these gentlemen were
varied, and all of importance to teachers.
The Rev. Mr. Gage spoke of the usefulness
of teaching children to compare the differ-
ent areas of countries, and gave a minute de-
scription of the geographical features of the
Holy Land. Prof. Gilman, in a lecture on
the study of geography, said that in his ac-
quaintance with teachers and candidates for
admission to college, he. had found a great
ignorance of geography. Prof. Gilman
said :—
“Young scholars should learn something
more than the names of rivers, mountains,
rise, but even children in the primary schools
should learn physical geography in its lowest
forms, the general features of the globe,
that it is a house with various apartments,
and all arranged for man’s comforts and in-
terests. Trace e. 9., theNaugatuck river to
the Sound, stopping at the villages and
mills, telling what the river does, and you
will give him some idea of the valley. In
this way the child learns to observe and
think, and this is worth more than mere
names. We need representations of parts
of the globe we are studying. This '15 did-
cult, as we. must reduce immense areas to
mere points. Globes are therefore defective
and inaps cannot well present parts of a
sphere. Every school room should have one
good physical map, and the eye *must be
trained to read its language, its colors, &c.
The teacher can use such a map with any
text book and can illustrate many important
features of the globe by it, and why is New
York certain to continue the greatest cem-
mercial city in America, how rivers and
mountain . ranges influence settlements,
commerce, dtc. In short, the study of physi-
cal geography is the study of nature. It is
the key to many sciences, botany, zoology,
history, and may be made the foundation of
very important information."
Among the subjects of other lectures, were
physical culture, the art of composition, min-
eralogy, arithmetic, history and biography.
Each session of the institute was attended by
a large audience that listened to the lectures
with the deepest interest.

is wide as the wound, and we have it free
from any claim of creditors. You know
how nobly our brethren in Norwalk, and
throughout the county that once was the

my our little Georgetown band responded;

I want to say to all, we appreciate and
have endeavored to use faithfully and wisely

two items, which we leave over for another
year.
At length, on the 3d of Nov.. just past,we
called the people togethel to dedicate, but

done for us, and what yet remained to be
done. ‘

and Suburban News:— , _
DARK AND DREARx.—It is a matter of
great surprise that the inhabitants of South
Norwalk have not as yet done anything to.-
wards lighting up their streets. The citizens
are usually considered very enterprising, but
in the matter of lighting up their streets with
gas, they are certainly far behind every place
we know of, with a single exception. Sure-
ly they do not wish to encourage the com-
mission of burglaries and street robberies;
for rogues invaribly make badly lighted
places their scenes of operation, while a dc-
sirable class of people, who have been accus-
tomed to well lighted streets elsewhere, are
natually deterred from locating in South
Norwalk under the circumstances alluded to.
The property owners of South Norwalk may
rest assured that it is mistakcned economy
to save a few dollars in the way of gas-light.
Mi the writer of the above had called
up town any night last' week he would have
been obliged to grape in the dark as much
as at South Norwalk, the bright and shining
lights of our street lamps being hid under a
bushel. We supposed our new board of
borough ofi‘icers were simply following in
the footsteps of their illustrious predecessors,
by confining themselves rather to closely to
the Almanac,but it seems we were mistaken.
With an eye to economy and a judicious ex-
penditure of the public money the new
Board have raised a controversy with the
gas company about the price of gas, and un-
til this question is settled we presume all
will continue “dark and dreary,” in our
streets. If “red tape” is ever played out
and this question becomes settled, we hope
an arrangement will be made whereby we
can have our streets lighted every dark
night, no matter whether the almanac says
“moonshine" or not.

accountability for his own acts and words;
but the disposition manifested in some quar-
ters to hold the Commodore responsible for
his son, where he has not signed ior him, is,in
our opinion, unjust. It is only fair towards
the Commodore for us to say this :--and we
take pleasure in saying it, notwithstanding
be manifested a little want of amiability—cx-
cusablo, perhaps in a man of his years—in
replying to a good natured letter from us, in
a horse controversy into which he recently
drew us. The sum is large, to be sure, for
Mr. Greeley to lose; but it illustrates his
characteristic benevolence. If anything
could tempt us to'trot horses for money, we
should be inclined to do it'in this case, and
offer the gate money to Mr. Greeley, as he is
one of our most distinguished contributors
.—provided he would consent to it—towards
making up his heavy loss at the hands of the
younger Mr. Vanderbilt—N. Y. Ledger.

there by the war, and says :-—“How any

quires as fast as the boats landed, and found
the whole number of fish taken to be ihree

A few of the dories had two men in them
but most of them only one. _
On one day this week, seven dorlcs were
off two hours and a half and landed one thou-
sand and twenty five fish. The greatest catch
by one man was 187. This is reported to

We believe in holding every man to a strict
.t‘
What they'say of each other.
We invite the “friends" of the pure and
undefiled democracy to the table set below
by their own party leaders. Rich isn’t it?
The Citizen, a'democratic paper says :
“ It is notorious that the Tammany organ-
ization, utterly unscrupulous, and with un-
controllcd'access to the City Treasury, must
have spent an aggregate of not less than
$300,000 of private and public money in the
recent contest. All the pay rollt of thc;city
departments for the past two months have
lengthened and strengthened by thousands
of sinecure ‘iuspectors’ and other place-hold-
ers—assigned to nominal duty, but really
with no other charge titan to electioncer ior
the Tammany candidates. Apart from these
sources of public or place-holding corruption,
we have reason to know, beyond any ques-
tion, that the friends of one single Tammany
candidate subscribed and paid out in his be-
half, and for his private benefit, in the late
contest, a sum more than four times the ag-
firegate of the entire sum in the hands of the
emocratic Union treasurer for the conduct
and organization of our entire campaign.
“ tis notorious also, that with the enor-
mous money power placed under its con-
trol, there was an_cnormous illegal or ‘repea-
ting’ vote organized and registered in the
Tammany interest-say not less than from
17,000 to 20,000 fraudulent votes—of which
not less than from 10,000 to 12,000 reached
the ballot box in favor of the Tammany can-
didates; the remainder being either scared
of by the aciivity and early arrests of the
police, or being unable, from sheer lack of
time between sunrise and sunset, to vote in
as mapy election districts as they were regis-
tered rn—onc case having been trustworthiiy
reported to us of a man who was registered
in no less than 58 election districts! Hold-
ing these facts in view, let us now consider
and review what was the fatc.of our com
didates.”
Fernando Wood also discloses the way in
which 'the New York Democrats piled up
theirlarge majority. In a speech onWeducs-
day evening, he said :—
I charge that at the late election the Tami
many Hall organization imported thieves
from Philadelphia to vote their ticket; that
these thieves were organ'zcd in different
wards of the city, and that bands of them vo-
ted in more than sixteen wards, and in more
thanpne hundred and twenty-five electoral
districts. (Cheers) More than that; it is
known that several of the inspectors of elec-
tron, after receiving the ballot from the voter
substituted another ballot and deposited it in
the box. (Hisscs, and cries of “shame.")
And then, finally, in the canvassing itself,we
have proof. positive that most base frauds
were committed against that honest old man,
Judge Connolly, the then candidate for Sher-
iff—(loud checrs)-frauds that would consign
the perpetrators of them, their aiders and
abettots, to the State prison for the balance
of their natural lives.

with which he put himself outside of it at-
tracted the attention of a democratic fellow
traveler who walked up to him with the
saluation: I’ll bet any man ten dollars that
you are, a good democrat." The radical’s
pride was touched, and he replied in his usual
stammcring. style: “I a-advise you n-n-uot
