Help for the Poor.
Aims giving is the worst possible mode for
helping the poor and unfortunate. Employ-
ment is the magical wand that transforms the
biackest ciottds into silver linings and drives
the hungry wolf from the door. All the in-
dications now point to a season wheir ade-
quate employment for unskilled labor will be
hard to find. This class, in large ntrmbers is
among us. They have families, and must
lr ive work. It private enterprise fail them,
tlren the town must open its already-sorely
depleted treasury. In thin condition of things-
should not the able and public spirited men
ol Norwalk at once inaugurate some public
enterprise. like the McAdamizing of our
principal streets; the digging out of our bar-
bar; the introduction of public Water
Works, or something that shall keep our is-
boring, producing elements of society in ac.
Iive operation. It will be far cheaper than
in supporting them at the aims houses and
the present world wide stagnation in labor
rrray thus be made, so far as we are concern-
ed, to rcdound to our honor, profit and glo-
ry. If nothing better can be devised let a
company form, whereof present owners shall
he chief stockholders, and tear downjhe en-
tire line of old wooden buildings from Mer-
ret‘s corner, (southeast side of the Bridge
abutment) to Col. Lockwood'a creditable
structure, and in their place let a brick block
be erected in a‘line from Lockwood's Hall to
the Bridge. This would cause an outlay of
at least fifty thousand dollars, would set two
hundred idle men to work, remove the most
conspicuous and repulsive deformity in the
business part of Norwalk, add largely to the
pecuniary benefit of old owners, prove a
good speculation for the new stockholders,
and as Mr. Seward remarks, “all will be hap-
py.” We mean no idle jest in this last sug-
gestion, and to verify our sincerity, will be
one of ten to undertake its consummation,ii
present owners will assent to such a eo-ope-
rative building association. We urge it in
the interest of all parties an (1 classes and in
the interest of the entire town of Norwalk.

Danbury Gr Norwalk Railroad.
At the annual meeting «.f the Stockholders
of the Danbury & Norwalk Railroad 00.,
held on Thursday last, the old Board of Di-
rectors were re’elected, and a committee ap-
pointed to act in connection with the citi-
zens of the town interested, ,to procure, if
possible, an appropriation from Congress to
aid in deepening and straightening our har-
her.
The report of the Superintendent was
read, which showed gross earnings for the
year of between one hundred and fifty-six
and seven thousand dollars.
At asubsequent meeting of the directors
Edwin Lockwood, Esq., was re-elected Presi-
dedt, and H. Williams, Secretary and Treas-
urcr' for the ensuing year. A dividend of '5
per cent. was declared, payable on and after
Feb. 5th, inst.
The passenger fare, 'which has heretofore
been the same between Norwalk and inter-
mediate points to and from Bethel as to and
from Danbury, was so changed that our
Bethe] friends will now pay ten cents less to
and from all points on the road below their
station, and will have excursion tickets from
Bethel to Danbury and return at twenty-five
instead of thirty cents as heretofore.

'I‘rra Frns'r Gun IN Tun ’68 CAMPAIGN.--
A member of Congress was elected last week
in the Eighth Congressional District of Ohio,
to fill a vacancy caused by the murder of the
late incumbent Mr. Hamilton. Previous to
the election the democracy were crowing
very iustily over what was to be the result'
claiming that it would be a signal rebuke to
the present Congress, and indicative of the
result of the ensuing elections for 1868. 23m,
alas ! for‘their calm and happy future which
seerued to their visions already in their grasp,
their prognostications as usual proved false,
for when the elation was held Gen. John
Beatty, Republican, was elected by 1000 ma-
jority, a gain from last fall of nearly EIGHT
rrr'xnunn. Verily the first gun rs auspicious,
and speaks loudly and boldly for the right.
Now let old Connecticut arouse, shake off
the coppery coils which now enfold her, and
once again take her proud position in the
ranks of true and loyal States, by giving a
strong majority for GRANT, Buoxuvorrarr

Fenians.
Our Fenian friends are to have a public re-
union at Lockwood‘s Hall, on Friday even-
ing. It is no question of ours, the wisdom
or folly of the Fenian movement, but the de—
voted love and fidelity with which that peo-
ple which has for two centuries supplied sol-_
diets, and money, and subsistence, and brains
to the British nation yearns for restoration
and liberty of Ireland, must chillenge the
admiration of all lovers of freedom every—
where. Nor can a class of people, so heroic-
ally striving for this end and so generously
bestowing their money to secure liberty at;
home, long deny freedom to every man made
in God’s image, in this land of their adoption.
Neither would we disown our special satis-
faction in contemplating the poetic justice
meted out to the old “mistress of the seas."

our citizens will continue to encourage them
by liberal patronage, in their efiorts to make
one of the most complete galleries in the

ABDUCTIO. .—A girl named Clegg, living
upon Hamilton street, and about fifteen years
of age, ran off yesterday with a man who
gave his name as Holmes, and who repre-
sented himself as an insurance agent of
Springfield. The girl lrad been correspond-
ing with the man for some time, and the lat-
ter portion of the time it had been carried on
aga‘nst the request and entreaties of the girl’s
mother. The man had the girl called out of
the Wooster Place Sunday School by a wo-
man, and drove ofi' with her in a sleigh.—
Tbe distressed mother learned of the facts
shortly after, and efforts wore at once insti-
tuted to get the girl to return.

were driven to Stamford. Early Monday
morning, ofilcer Marsh of Bridgeport called
up Mr. Searles, and enquired if the parties,
had been there. Other detectives, and the
girl's father had gone down on the owl train
to Stanford, and as one of the officers was
getting off at that Station he met the three
getting on. The father was informed, and
the parties were arrested, and taken back to

Conuncrrcu'r DmrocaAT Convamrom—
The Democrat State Convention of Connec-
ticut met at New Haven on Wednesday, the
29th. James E. English was renominated
for Governor by acelamation, together with
the following candidates for the other State
ofilces: Licut. Governor, Ephraim Hyde of
Stafford ; Secretary of State, Leveret Peuse
of Somers ; Treasury, Edward S. Mosely of
Hampton ; Comptroller, Jessie Only or,
Stratford,
Gov. English subsequently addressed the
the Convention. The Constitution, he said,
was about being rent apart by the hand of
partisan rage and the violence of embittered
strife. Tcu States had been stripped by
Federailegislation, of every attribute of State
authority and sovereignty. Every bulwark
of personal freedom has been stricken down
within them ; every guarantee under the
Federal Constitution swept away by the re-
morscless legislation of CongrEss. Radical
aggression, however, had not stopped here,
he said, but Congress had assumed the right
to absorb all executive functions within it-
self, and exercise them arbitrarilyiu rts own
way, by forcing upou‘re President an ob-
noxious and dismissed Cabinet ofilcer. It
had further directed its attacks against the
Supreme Court of the United States, seek-
ing to paralize that august tribunal and was
fast cudeavoriug to swell the national indebt-
edness beyond the power of the people to en-
dure. The depression of all branches of in
dustry ire attributed to the recent radical leg-
islation of the country. He charged that
thc Radicals, by forcing negro suffrage upon
thclatc rebel States, had shown that the war
ostensibly undertakes to preserve the outlet)-
al life, had been in reality degraded into a
war of conquest and negro supremacy. The
remedy for those abuses, ire said, rested with
the pecpie. He warned the convention not
to forget that the Union is a Union of separ-
ate States, and not a consolidation in which
their separate existence is lost. in the gener-
al body, and urged that it was of particular
importance for the small New England
States to keep this fuhdautental principal in
view. '
The resolutions adopted by the Co en-
tion denounce the recent “unconstitutr a1
legislation” of the “fractional Congress" ; fa-
vor the redemption of all our pecuniary obli-
gations, and the payment of the national
debt “in the manner provided by law," de—
mands equal taxation, and the maintenance
of the rights of naturalized American citi-
zens abroad; Oppose negro suffrage; thank
the President for vetoing the “illegal acts of
a dismembered Congress" : and commend
the State ticket to the party at large.

WDemocr-at editorsand orators exhibit
a fertile fancy, if not in every instance a re-

ply to the unfortunate Fortieth Congress.
Gov. English, at the Connecticut State Con-
vention the other day, called it a “remorse-
less" Congress ; _aud the gentlemen who
prepared the resolutions adopted by that
body, denominated it a “fractional" and a
“dismembered" Congress. A Virginia paper
styles it a “reckless and biaspbemous body ;"
and anotircr paper, published away down
East, is unkind enough to call the Republi-
can majority “hellish fiends.” Jeff Davis
and Yellow Fever Blackburn havn’t yet

W At a concert in Steinway Hall, New

that “Miss Brainerd is as good a subsitute for
Madame Parepa as could be desired. She
has of course neither the voice nor the cul-

her in feeling, and always sings with taste

WThe lately removed Gov. Jenkins of
Georgia made a speech, last week, in re-
sponse to a serenade before leaving the exe-
cutive mansion at Milledgeville, in which he
spoke in the highest terms of Gen. Mead as
a high-toned. honorable man and ofiicer, and
one who would do his duty firmly and fear-
lessly. Gov. Jenkins also commended Gen.
Meade’s wisdom in selecting for the new
state officials army officers, instead of giving
the places to any of the crowd of hungry
office seeking Georgians. He advised firm
and determined resistance to the recons'ruc-
case an appeal to arms, which would be
worse than folly.

Punnrsrran Onscnurrv.-When will the
law be enforced against the obscene publica-
tions which have defiled every news stand in
this and other cities for the past few years?
One of these three publications has been a
disgrace to the metropolis ttr years. The
other two have sprung up by its side-one
within half ayear, the other within a few
weeks—in order to divide the profits of its
nefarious traffic in lust. Tire youngest of
these papers is published by a firm which
claims to be “respectable.” and which issues
- certain other papers against. which no com-
plaint can be made. We aie§:'lreartily glad
that one corporation, the Pennsylvania Rail-
way Company, have taken_ a decided stand
against these obscene publications. An or-
der has been issued prohibiting the sale of
any of the three papers 'rn question on the
cars of its line. Who says that corporation
have no souls? 1f private individuals had.
on the average, half as much soul,as this cor-
poration has given proof of, there would be
no necessity for such an order. This is an
excellent beginning. We trust popular sen-
timent will turn in the direction to which this
“soulless" corporation points. When the peo-
ple do begin to express their disapprobation,
the timid guardians of the law may obey its
injunctions. How long will Superintendent
Kennedy hesitate to use his authority?

Gen. Ferry has the floor of the Senate to-
day, on the supplmcntary reconstruction
question.
The President has sent in the name of
Wm. D. Bishop, of Bridgeport, as Commis-
sioner of Patents. Private advices assure
us that his confirmation is impossible. Mr.
Bishop is at present President of the N. Y.
do N. H. Railroad, a? an annual salary of
$8,000, we believe, and what ire can want
to “swap" for the Patent. Office place at $3,-
500 a y ear, is more titan a Yankee can “guess,”
but smells of “meal" somewhere about the
cat.
About the meanest of the dirty things that
prince of demagogues at the eritc House
has yet concocted, was his imposing upon
the credulity, if not stupidity, of the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent, the tissue of
falehoods telegraphed from the Capital on
Thursday night last, to the effect that Com-
missioncr Rollins had recommended to ofilce
nearly all the horde of whiskey thieves ap-
pointed to the revenue service by Andrew
Johnson. No purer, devoted or self sacrifi-
cing officer serves the American Govern-
ment than E. A. Rollins, and if he could
have his way Andrew Johnson’s thieves
would soon bite short rations.
This is a favorite mode of attack on the
part of A. J. when he desires to injure one
in the public estimation.
The Tribunecorrespondcnt thus denoun-
ces and details the disreptuabie transaction :
The Associated Press Agency of this city
was used last evening for the purpose of cir-
culating an infamous slander upon the Com-
missioner of Internal Revenue, Mr. Rollins.
and of diffusing as false and malicious a pa-
per as has appeared in print for a long time.
The document is said to have been prepared
by the Secretary of the Treastrry from offl-
ciai records in his oflicc, and represented that
during the past fiscal year, as compared with
the one before, the Internal Revenue receipts
had decreased nearly $30,000,000; that out
of the Changes of collectors and assessors
made within the year, 119 were brought
about on the recommendation of Mr. Rollins,
and only 20 by Mr. Johnson ; that in the
districts were Mr. Roilins’s appointees were
placed, the average losses were nearly $24,-
000 per district, and that in those districts
where Mr. Johnson’s followers were provi-
ded for, the losses averaged 847.000 per dis-
trict; in other words, that Mr. Rollin's men
stoic nearly three time as much as Mr. John-
son’s. From beginning to end there is not
one word of truth in the statement. The
Secretary of the Treasury neither prepared
nor caused to be prepared, the documents in
question, and knows nothing whatever about
it. Mr. Rollins did not suggest a dozen
changestr the Department, and the remov-
als were made, in most cases,'against his ex~
press wishes. The paper was drawn up at.
the instigation of the President, by a clerk
in the Treasury Department, and was intend-
ed as a means of escape from the odium of
having placed the public purse in the hands
of a gang of thieves. It is charged in ofil-
cial circles that the document came front the
White House ; that Mr. Johnson authorized
its concoction and publication, and that the
whole transaction is of a piece with the Grant
assault—an untrue, cowardly attack upon a
faithful ofilcer. \

"Water! Water 2” Is the Cry-
annn BrmoTou:—I am pleased to see
that you keep this subject before the people,
and trust that you will not let it die. Our
town people move slow, yet they may be
aroused by keeping a subject constantly be-
fore them. _
I have before made the offer, and am will-
ing still to continue it. Thatis to have, and
furnish a sufilcient supply of good and whole-
some water for all domestic uses, and with
sufficient head, in case of fire, to attach a
hose, and throw a stream of waterto the top
of the highest buildings, now in the busi-
ness vicinity, and furnish,a sufilcientsuppiy,
to water the streets in the Summer season,
and to supply the engines in case of fire.
All I ask, is a guarantee that the interest
of the outlay, at 6 per cent., shall b given
me. This will not exceed One T usand
Dollars per year from my present estimates,
and I believe I am safe in my estrmates,
With such guarantee I will engage to have
all the necessary work completed by the 1st
of May, 1868; the guarantee to be given be-
fore the lat of March coating, 1868.
I am not anxious to undertake this, neith-
er do I destire to, except to give it a start,
and when this is done, should the borough
or a company desire to take the stock, and
management, I would agree to sell it to them
for a reasonable compensation. 'Such an ar-
rangement would give it a start and it could
then be enlarged or extended as circum-
stances require.
It appears to me we are sleeping, while
South Norwalk is wide awake, and unless
we arouse, our present advantages will not
long remain with us, in matters of trade and
business.
Nearly half of the interest of Ten Thou-
sand Dollars was paid tlre past Summer for
partially watering the street.

FIND FAULT l‘N PnrvxTn.—Find fault,
when you must. find fault, in private, if pos-
sible, and some time after the offence, rather
than at the time. The blamed are less in-
clined to resist. when they are blamed witlr-
out witnesses. Both parties are calmer and
the accused person may be struck with the
forbearance of the accuser,-who has seen the
fault, and watched for a private and proper
time for mentioning it. Never be harsh or
unjust with your children or servants. Firm-
ness, with gentleness of demeanor and a re-
gard to the feelings, constitutes that authori-
ty which is always respected and valued. If
you have any cause to complain of a servant
never speak hastily; wait at all events until
you have had time to reflect on the nature of
the offence. ‘

for some time been in the habit of making

A Veneer for Rooms.
A Boston paper makes the followtng no-
tice of a simple contrivanee that may be
made of great value to house owners.
A very delicate, simple and beautiful ma—
clriuc has been constructed, which will take
a portion of a tree, after it has been cut the
right length and width, and shove it tip into
thin ribbons as wide as a roll of house paper
making one hundred or one hundred and
fifty tr thc' inch. These rolls of wood are
placed on the walls by paper-hangers with
paste and brush, precisely in the same
manner with paper. Tire weed is wet when
used, and really works easier titan paper, be-
cause it is much more tough and pliable. In
these days, when.varicty is sought for, one
can finish tltc walls-of his house in diflcrent
woods, to suit his taste. One roonr can be
finished in bird’s eye maple, another in chest-
nut, anothcr in cherry, another in white
wood, and so on. Thus ire has no imitation
but the real, genuine article upon his walls.-
The eye tires of set figures, such as we irave
to ordinary paper hanging, but never of un-
turcrtself. The longer the wood hanging
remains on the wall, the more distinct will
bathe grain and coloring of the wood. The
thinness of the wood does not injure its grain
and the wall has the same appearance as if
covered with solid boards, and even better,
for there is no shrinking or liability to warp.
Architects with one accord admit that it will
enable them to decorate libraries, halls, sa-
loons, parlors, offices, and rooms of all kinds
III a style heretofore unknown. Ceilings
may be finished to correspond with the walls
either in plain wood orin panels of veneered
rare woods. Carving In all itsgeautiful
forms may now be introduced wit perfect
propriety, the walls and ceilings being cov-
ered with the same woods from which they
are cut. No wainecoting can equal it, and
its durability is as great as the wall itself.
Being varnished or finished in oil, the walls
may be cleaned the same as ordinary furni-
ture. As an invention, which is destined to
elevate the taste in house decorations, it
stands at the head of modern improvements.

Urs AND Downs IN FURS.—A fur dealer
thus epitomizes an experience of twenty-five
years in the business:
Just a quarter of a century ago I entered
the fur trade, paying eighteen cents for mink
twentv-two cents for muskrat, and two dol-
lars for little yellow martin skins. During
these twenty-five years there have been some
wide ranges of prices; I have sold a lot of
mink for eight hundred dollars that now
would bring twentyfour thousand dollars.
Then, again, I have sold a lot. of coon for
thirteen thousand dollars, that in London to-
day would not bring two thousand dollars.
The little martin skin is now worth the same
price of a yellow dog skin—two shillings.
The opossum has been from three to sixty ;
and is down to eight cents, War has been
one eause'of these fluctuations; but that
mightier power than armies, fashion, has
done the most. While the combined armies
of Europe could only put down coon and
skunk fifty per cent., that powerful goddess,
fashion, run the eighteen cent mink up to
fifteen dollars, and knocked the big black
lynx mull down to four shillings.
