Prospects Brightening.
The enemy, as is their wont, are again cal-
culating largely on the power and influence
of audacious bragging. They boast that
they have made hundreds Of naturalized
voters in Fairfield County alone, and some
eighty odd for Norwalk, which they are go-
ing tO vote solid, like a wooden machine,
for a copper democracy. Now the truth is
there have been less than 100§naturalizationa
issued for the whole. county, andshould ev-
c ‘y one of these Irishmen vote the ticket of
disloyalty (which we very much doubt), this
addition will be more than overcome by the
native born young men, who as is well
liilOWll,VOle at least ninety to one hundred
on the side of liberty and loyalty. More-
over, we know of a number of intelligent
Irishmen who decline to be driven up to the
polls like swine and commanded to deposit
ballots for the election of candidates and the
success of measures in which they have
been permitted nochoice of selection. There
are some with intelligence and virtue enough
to vote on the} side of sobriety and good gov-
ernment. while there are many others who
followed the flag during the war, who are
not going to desert it now, but will vote
new thSt as they shot then.
M
Dealh of Josiah Mason Carter.
The public will be deeply pained to learn
of the death of this estimiablc citizen and
able jurist, which took place at his residence-
in Nortvalk, at about five O’clock on Sunday.
evening. ’ Judge Carter had for many weeks
been confined to his house, with what those
who knew most about it feared would prove
an incurable malady, yet he had continued
in comparative comfort and with confident
hopes of ultimate recovery until very short-
ly before his decease.
Judge Carter has filled various positions
of official responsibility and honor. He has
several times represented Norwalk in the
Legislature, and on the last occasion was
chosen Speaker of the House. He was
State’s Attorney, and on two occasions we
have personal knowledge Of the fact that he
was importuned to allow the use of his name
as candidate for Judge before the legislative
caucus of his party, but declining the honor
in both instances, although infinentially
pressed upon him, because of the paramount
. duties and necesaities involved in his large
legal practice. As a citizen he was always
held in the highest esteem, and as a parent
he was generous and indulgent to a fault.
While his loss will be deeply felt by the
Whole community, no where will the blow
of this affilctive bereavement fall with such
crushing weight as upon the domestic circle
where he was the revered and idolized head.
We would suggest that the stores and other
places of business be closed on Wednesday
afternoon, during the progress of the funeral
ceremonies.

A PRCDENT CONDUCTOR—Coming up
from New York a few evenings since, on
Conductor Strickland's train, the passengers
were startled by two shrill whistles, denot-
ing danger, while crossing Cos Cob Bridge.
The log at the time was so dense that it was
impossible to see the length of a car, and as
the ice was firmly frozen about the Chanel in
the morning, it was not supposed at all prob-
able that the draw could be open. But our
Conductor, taking nothing for granted, had
walked out upon the bridge in advance of
his engine, when 10, the draw was wide open
and a little sloop struggling with the ice for
a passage out. The engine was thus halted
scarce two rods from the open chasm, and
one shudders to contemplate the catastrophe
that might have been consequent upon a
want of this unusual caution.

Life Insurance.
it is too late t9 require argument to es-
tablish the wisdom, and even duty Of life in-
surance. We are glad it is so. Probably
there are several millions of dollars held, in
various companies, here in Norwalk.—-
Among all these companies, the New York
Mutual Life holds the largest amount. This
is to be accounted for, from the fact that A.
II. Camp, is the indefatigable Norwaik agent
of this powerful company. Give trim a call.

We invite attention to the advertisement
of True SUN, in another part of our paper.
There are now nearly one hundred and fifty
copies of this paper sold daily by our Nor-
wirlk and South Norwalk News men, and
sent hither by mail to regular subscribers.—
The Néwprk Courier hits the nail on the
head, whe‘njt sayspf this spirited little new:
paper:

Who May Vote.
All persons, in order to vote, must be reg-
istered according to law. The last day is
Wednesday preceding election. ‘
’ Any person who has ever been made elec-
tor ln this State, is entitled to be registered
upon producing a certificate from the town
where he was made, and showing that he has
resided in the town where he offers to vote,
[our months preceding the day of election.
To be made an elector requires one year's
residence in the town. The applicant must
be a citizen of good moral character, and-be
able to. read any article of the constitution
'or of the statutes of this State. .
The only exception to the rule requiring
persons to be registered on Wednesday pre-
ceding the election, is where a person’s qual-
ifications mature between Wednesday and
the day of election; and in that case, such
person must be registered on Wednesday as
an “intended applicant," Otherwise the Board
cannot admit him on election day. '
A law was passed last session, which pro-
vides that names omitted from the list by
“mistake, inadvertence, fraud, or clerical er-
ror," might be put on by the Board on elec-
tion day. But eaters cannot be admitted on
election day, either by certificate or upon oath,
and names can only be put on the list where
they have been omitted therefrom, as above.

The Meeting this week.
On Thursday evening, Richard McCloud,
Esq, Head-Center of the Fenian Organiza-
tion of this State, who has the reputation of
being an eloquent Speaker; and Major Hag-
gerty, of New York, whom our people al-
ready know as an unusually entertaining and
eloquent Speaker, and accomplished gentle-
man, are announced to speak at Lockwood’s
Hall. Citizens of‘all parties are invited to

WSince the Post Ofiice Department has
been under democratic administration, the
old trouble with the irregularity of the mails
has revived, and we can-place no dependence
upon them. Mail matter from the west that
we heretofore received regularly on Saturday
now arrives from the east on Monday or
Tuesday. Letters sent us from towns be-
tween Norwalk and New York are some-
times several days in reaching us, and when
received are of no use on account of the de-
lay. Mail matter from the east arrives from
the west,and nice cersa. The morning west-
ern mail is divided into two parts, one ar-
riving an hour later than the other. It is ap-
parrently as bad elsewhere as in this vicinity
and we read in the papers that one day last
week a mail for Baltimore was sent to New
Orleans. Next we shall hear of our mails
coming from New York via Alaska or St.
Thomas. Well, at least, we can congratu-
late ourselves that Our local postmasters are
all 0. K. -

WThe Adams Express Co. has declared
a semi-annual dividend of five per cent.
Since the withdrawal of the Mcrcbants' Un-

advanced, and as they are fast nearing a

soon quadruple.

The First Meeting.
The opening meeting of the Camp ign
was held under the auspices of the Grant,
Buckingham and Jewell Club, at Lockwood's
Hall, on Friday evening last. The atten-
dance was very large, and we were glad to
notice many of the opposition seated in the
audience, and hope they will continue to at'
tend the meetings and hear both sides. The
President of the Club, Joseph F. Foote', Esq.
opened the meeting, introducing Cyrus Nor-
throp, formerly of this place, and well known
as a “young man eloquent,” whc occupied
the attention of the assembly forgn hour,
ably discussing the questions at issue. He
was followed, at some length, by Gov. Woods
of Oregon, who made a stirring speech. The
meeting closed with cheers for the candidates,
and speakers. The campaign, although com-
menced late, opens Well and promises to be
short, sharp and stoutly contested. May the
best man win, and the victor be a J EWELL.

W Will Our friends remember that less

favor with the New Hampshire victory. But

board, elect a governor and a majority in
both Houses, thus securing _a Republican
Senator in place of James Dixon. We can
do this work, by a c'anvass that will .get out
all our votes and by a vigilance that shall
defeat frauds. Let every school district be
thoroughly worked Over. The whole coun-

How Gift Concerts are Managed
A case occurred in the Newark police
court Friday, which showed how gift cori-
certl are managed. Last week a ne ro min-
strcl troupe performed in Library all and
drew croweded houses by advertising that a
fifty dollar bill would be given to one of the
audience each evening. An arrangement
was made with men to draw the money and
return most of it to the managers of the com-
pany; but one of the men who drew fifty
dollars one evening, refusedoto give up the
money.—N. Y. Evening Post.
Wiles the Post just discovered how thoSe
things are managed ? It is no new dodge,
but has been in successful operation for years
out the country. People delight ,in being
humbugged, and when a manager distributes
more value in prizes than his receipts, every-
night, they patronize him liberally, and the
more he thus sacrifices the more he prosperi-
' «o .
Ogrin Benedict is personally popular, but
is he politically right.—Danbury Times.
Never was man more so. You may im-
plicitly rely upon this fact and go and vote
for him, as many honest democrats will do
on election day.

and has been practiced extensively through»
'Schml‘LIbrarles.
For the information of the people, we
cheerfully give place to the following circu-
lar received from the office of the Secretary
of our State Board of Education :—
By the law of the State of Connecticut,
the sum of ten dollars is appropriated from
the State Treasury to every School District
which raises a like amount for the purchase
of library books and apparatus;—aud the
sum of »five dollars is appropriated every
subsequent year, on condition that the Dis-
trict raises in addition the like amount.
Any school district which numbers more
than one hundred scholars in actual attend-
ance upon the common schools thereof may
draw the appropriation now made by law for
the purchase of library and apparatus, at the
rate Of one appropriation for every hundred
of such scholars, promded, that no allowance
shall be made in any case for the fractional
part 'of a hundred.
Any town which constitutes a Union
School District, is entitled to receive, upon
the like conditions as are now prescribed for
school districts, a sum not exceeding the ag-
gregate amount which the former districts of
said town might have received.
To facilitate the drawing of this money,
orders on the State Treasury will be sent
promptly, to all district committees who cm-
ply with the conditions of the law.
Districts desiring to avail themselves of
this privilege should therefore send at once
to the undersigned a certificate correspond-
ing to the requirements of the case as direct-
ed ln the School Law. Blank certificates are
furnished, upon' application.
The money thus received by the district,
must be expended for books or apparatus,
aphroved by the School Visitors of the town.
Itis not intended to provide entertaininglread-
ing for the neighborhood, but to procure
standard works of reference for the school
room.
~ Special efforts have been made to procure
maps and reference books at the lowest rates.
Most of them are furnished through this of-
fice, for schools only, at less than the whole-
sale prices. ‘
Connecticut is offering very liberal bounty
to all her districts, and it is believed that they
only need to be reminded MW eaSily they
may thus increase the efficiency and useful.—
ness of the schools, to be induced to secure
these gifts from the State.
The cooperation of School Visitors is re-
spectfully solicited in commending this sub-
ject tO Teachers and District Committees.

Secretary of Board of Education.

IMPORTANT To SoLDIEEs.—The Legisla-
ture of this State, having directed the proper
authorities to prepare and distribute to the
soldiers from Connecticut, who served in the
Union ranks in the late war for the suppress-
ion of the rebellion, some testimonial of the
gratitute of the State to them, we are request-
ed to say that the said testimonial is ready
for delivery, and each Connecticut soldier (or
his representative in case of his death), who
are now residents of the 12th Senatorial Dis-
trict, can have the samezon application to Asa
Smith, esq., of this town, who has been ap-
pointed by the Adjutant General as agent for
such distribution through the District. The
testimonial is a neat engraving and willbe a
pleasant addition to the dwellings of our
brave soldiers, as well as a deserved tribute
of distribution is taken by reason of their
large size, which makes it impossible to
transmit them with safety through the mail.
They are also furnished without expense t)
the soldier.

dow with. a brick.
The same night neighbor Campbell’s Con-
fectioner y was again entered and
cleaned of pennies, pies, cake, etc. Burglars
seem to have a particular affection for Mr.
Campbell’s premises, and as soon as he gets
a stock in they take it out. On this occasion
they punished about a dozgn of his truly ex-

GOVERNMENT SECURITIES—Some of Mr.

recklessly asserting that impeachment has
had an effect to lower the price Of our bonds

adverse element Mr. Johnson forms in the
credit of the government is shown by the fact
that our 5-209 of 1862, which sold in London
on January 12, six weeks before impeach-

of impeachment, at 71 7-8, reached on March

@Iu a letter on American politics Gold-

"The course of events seems still to point
to the presidency of General Grant. In re-
volutions men live fast and characters change
rapidly. It would be presumption for one
judgment on individual claims, or, indeed,
on any details of the present situation. But
all that Iheard of General Grant when I was

bined the highest qualities of . a soldier with
the best instincts of a citizen, that he was
high minded, unselfish, wise, devoted to the

ed statesman, likely to make a good head of
the nationjn peace as well as in war. Whol-
ly pacrfic, Indeed, his task Would not, it is to
be-feared, at first be, for he would have to
control disorder in the south, if not disaffec-
tion, by military means. His magnanimity
and chivalry In dealing with his enemies are
a plgdge that he would be the tool of no vin-
dictive policy, while the party fer which he
conquered have little reason to fear that the
victorious general will be false to his own
laurels. It would be a happy thing. indeed
for the nation if he could be raised to power
not as the mere candidate of a party, but by
a really national vote. He might then with
duw all parties from the false positions into
which they have been thrust, act as media-
tor between the mall settle the wavering bal-
ance of the constitution, and turn to the rep-
ression of legislative corruption, to retrench-

practical kind the energies now expended in

THIRTEEN HUNDRED NEWSPAPERS IN
GREAT BRITAIN—The Londog Imspaper
Prue Directory for 1863 gives the following
account of the newspapers in England, Scot-
land, and Ireland : “There are now publish-
ed in the United Kingdom 1,334 newspapers,
distributed as follows; England, London,
253 ; provinces, 751—1,084. Wales, 49 ;
Scotland, 132; Ireland, 124; British Isles,
15. Of these there are 58 daily papers ub-
lished in En land, one in Wales, 12 in cot-
land, 13in reland, and 1 in the British
Isles." On reference to the edition of this
useful directory for 1858, we find the follow -
rug interesting facts, viz: that in that year
there were published in the United Kingdom
80f} journals ; of these, 41 papers were issued
daily, viz : 29 in England,'5 in Scotland, and
7 in Ireland ; but in 1868 there are now es-
tablished and circulated 1,324 papers, of
which no less than 85 are issued daily, show-
rng that the press of the country has very
greatly extended during the last ten years.
The magazines now in course of publication
including the quarterly reviews numbers 021,
of which 219‘ars of a decidely religious char-
acter, representing the church of England,

EFFICACY or ONIONl—A writer says:
“We are troubled often with severe colds,
the result of colds of long standing, which
may turn to consumption or premature death
Hard coughs cause sleepless nights, by con-
stant irriration in the throat and a strong
effort to throw of! ofienslve matter from the
lungs. The remedy I propose has been tried
by me,and recommendedby me with good re-
sult, which is simply to take into the stomach
before retiring. for the night a piece of raw
odion, after chewing. This esculent, in an
uncooked state, is very heating, and collecrs
the waters from the lungs and throat, caus-
ing immediate relief to the patient.”
