The Election.
We publish elsewhere the actual state of
the. vote (by counties), returned last Monday.
in the interior towns, where honest electors
only visited the polls, the Republican major-
ity'has notably increased, while in city wards
and the larger shore towns the'sham democ-
racy have shown a spasmodic increase. As
much as we regret the defeat of our state ticket
and our failure to oust Englishand Compa-
ny, we still have vastly more to shout over
thanour opponents, who seemed to go fairly
frantic over the fact that they were not driv-
en from power, as they knew they so richly
deserved to be; Our majority in the House
and the Senate has been largely increased
over last year, despite the attention paid to
the “doubtful towns." This majority eu-
sures as Governor Buckingham, Gov. Haw-
ley, Cyrus Northrop or some other good and
true man in place of James Dixon in the-Uni-
ted States Senate, for the next sic years. It
‘lso secures us an upright Republican J udge,
for eight years, and quite possibly two Judges,
for that period, so that we do not discover
much to lament over or be cast down about‘
We believe Connecticut can and will be car-
ried for Grant next fall, when the imported
scouudrels who filled the trains to and from
New York, before and after "our election,,will
all be retained at home. So up boys and at
them .

‘ emlly observed in this vicinity, by the sus-
pension of business, and by services in the
churches. Union services were held in the
- 2d M. E. Church, Rev. Mr. Gatesof the Bap-
,tistchureh preaching the sermon. Owing
,to the storm the attendance was small.
' § , A severe storm of Snow and hail set in
early in the morning "and continued till
night, rendering the day one of the most
- dismal of the season, and effectually putting
a stop to the old' time customs of ball play-
ing, egg cooking in the woods, &c.
A City Charter nml Water.
We’rejoice to know that the project for a
City Charter, uniting all the scattering ex-
- trcmities of our several settlements within
one municipal government, meets this spring
- with almost unanimous approval. We hope
- a meeting may be at once held of leading
-' citizens, without reference to political dis-
tinctions, and a just, fair and proper adjust;
ment of boundaries and wards be mutually
settled upon before application is made to
, the legislature for the Act of Incorporation.
With a municipal government, Water sew-
erages, good walks, good highways and an
economical loCal government maybe surely
attained. Move on the column.
WAmong the venerable and worthy men
who eagerly sought the polls to vote the
ticket of union and loyalty, was Capt. Henry
Fitch of the Down Town District, aged nine—
ty-five. ' '

LfA simple incident of-domestic discom—
fort which has overtaken our cocommutcr,
Alexander Archer, Esq., but fairly illustrates
what we are coming to here in Norwalk,
unless houses are multiplied. Our friend
who has resided at South Norwalk for‘mauy
years, has been compelled to remove his
family to Darien for the simple reason that
it was imposible for him to rent a house in
Norwalk. He, with scores similarly served
has our sympathy, our condolence,our tears,
but what shall we say of our stolid monied
men who see population driven from the
town because there are no houses.

‘will remember that the great Stone, Murray
& Co.’s Circus, will exhibit in Norwalk this
Tuesday afternoon and evening, April 14th.
The attractions of this circus are first class

_The entree procession in the morning of
Tuesday, April 14th, will be very attractive

The pavilion will be mooted on Beers'
Meadow (now owned by Messrs. Sanford &

{S‘In the late campaign, a certain portion
of the democratic party, composed principal-
ly of young gentlemen of aristocratic ten-
dencies, who were ashamed of the rank and
file of the party, called themselves “Conser-
vatives," and the leaders of the party ac-
knowledged both classes, rich and poor, by
addressing them on posters as“Democrats and
Conservatives.” The latter class get a hard
rub frOm the La Gram Democrat, the leading
democratic organ of the country, which pa-
per is dissatisfied with the word “Conserva-
tlve,”and defines the man who calls himself
by that name, as “A smooth-tougucd, soft
stepping, sly, selfish, treacherous, cold-blood-
ed, deceitful, doublcsfaced, forked-tongued
sneak." ' There are many good fellows
among the Conservatives who will not feel
complimented by this rather plain talk from

Election Frauds.
'l‘hosc who have investigated the matter
are fillly convinced that the fi-audulent votes
cast at our election in the city of New Ha-
ven and other large towns in the State, last
Monday, were more in number than the en-
: tire majority for the democratic state ticket,
and that had only those voted that were le-‘
gully entitledfio that Marshall Jewell would
now be Governor elect of the State. That a
system of fraud lmequallcd in proportion to
the vote cast, even in the politically corrupt
city of New York, has been practiced in the
city of New Haven and other larger towns
in the State, will we are assured be shown at
the proper time, and the legislature called
upon to probe the matte: to the bottom and
to provide proper remedy, and should they
fail to do so, they. will neither be true to
themselves or their constituents.
Frauds have been committed in naturali-
zation, false registration, double voting, vc-
ting in the name of absent and deceased
persons, by personatiug actual voters early
in the day and depriving them of their votes,
by forged certificates, by colinization from
New York city and adjoining States, b y dis-
charged State’s prison convicts voting, and
in many other ways which should be provi-
ded against in future. Frauds in naturaliza-
tion have been committed in numerous in-
stances by false swearing, both by the ap-
plicant and witness in regard to age, time of
coming to this country and by swearing they
came before they were eighteen years of age,
by which oath they obtained the right of
naturalization without taking out first pa-
persland voted at the recent clection,and cases
can be shown where men have sworn that
they were but twenty-five years of age and
had come into this country before they were
eighteen, who were more than forty years of
age and did not come to this country until
they were over thirty.
Now we do not object to every person be-
ing made an elector who is entitled by the
laws of the United States or the laws of this
State to become one, but we do object to
such abuse of our laws by thecorrupt junta
who persuade ignorant men to perjure them-
selves that they may retain power, and we
do object to allowing city courts to grind
out voters, both day and night, without giv-
ing an opporttmity for investigation on the
part of those who desire to have only those
vote that are legally entitled to do so.
The registry lists, in most if not all of the
towns, contain names of deceased persons,
of persons that have removed from the State
and others who by the laws of the State are
not entitled to vote, and new lists should be
provided. The law passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature allowing names to be
added to the registry list in certain cases af-
ter Wednesday preceding election, has been
grossly abused in some places and should be
repealed. Let our legislature provide for an
entire new registration in every voting dis-
trict in the State, placing only such on the
list as shall make application in person, un-
less physically disqualified, let our boards
of registration be composed of both parties,
let applicants for naturalization file a notice
with town clerk of intended application at
least sixty days before his application is
heard, repeal laws allowing city courts to
naturalize, repeal law passed last year al-
lowing namcs to be added to list, provide
that both political parties shall be represent-
ed in the receiving and counting of votes,
provide severe penalties for fraudulent vo-
tion which party has been victorious, and
all will be willing to abide the will of the
majority.

Mr. Gough in Norwalk.
The committee of the Y. M. C. A. are enti-
tled to the thanks of our citizens for their
earnest and persistent efforts to secure Mr.
Gough for a lecture in Norwalk. Sixteen
years ago Mr. G. spent several weeks in Nor-
walk, lecturing on temperance in this vicini-
ty, and made many warm personal friends as
well as hosts ofadmirers. Since that time he
has travelled extensively, lecturing on tem-
perance and other topics, and is now ac-
knowledged as having no superior in the
country as an orator. Those who heard him
in 1852 will be sure to avail themselves of
this opportunity of again listening to his en-
trancing eloquence, while those who have
never yet heard him will be sure to be pres-
ent at Lockwood’s Hall, on Friday evening.

PARIS, March 30th, 1868.
Eorrons or run GAZETTE :— .
It is with considerable pleasure that I
send you by to-day’s steamer, the French
journal, the “Monituer des Arts,” containing,
as it does, a very interesting notice of “Fitch’s
Home,” at ,Darieu, of which the following is
a translation :—
FI'I‘CH’S HOME.
“Not far from New York there is an asy-
lum, which although having a modest ap-
pearance from without, is built within with
the great skill which distinguishes the Amer-
ican people, and where the Orphans of the
Soldiers killed in the last war, are brought
up and instructed with the care and contri-
butions of all citizens.
There from ‘the most tender age up to the
time when they begin their career in life,
children of both sexes receive the very best
care, and a. special instruction according to
their tastes.
is home founded a short while ago, by
one of those very rare men who devote their
lives to the service of their fellow creatures,
and find in the happiness of’ being useful a
recompense for their devotion, this home,
said we, has taken the name of its founder; it
is only known under the simple name of
“Fitch’s Home.” The day when _the or-
phan’s of soldiers who died for their country,
have been brought up and have found a
trade or a profession, then one will fill it with
other children, and if war has not made more
victims, there are in America as in Europe
plenty of other orphans in want of care.
Mr. Fitch having seen his greatest wish ac-
complished, and having obtained all things
necessary, thought he would complete his
work in giving to this” charitable institution a
gallery of works of Art ; and with this object,
notwithstanding his age, he did not hesitate
to cross the ocean and to come into Europe,
there to buy with the resources placed at his
disposition, a collection of paintings and ob
jects of art, which are to serve for the in-
struction of his‘ children. He even thinks
that this little museum will perhaps one day
become a National Gallery. ' Why not? the
emigrants who first fixed their tents on the
borders of Hudson River, did they dovmore ?
At all events Mr. Fitch is working hard and
we have already seen in the windows of the
house of Messrs. Goupil & Co. a series of
Paintings bought for this object. He has
chosen with great taste paintings by our best
artists.”
There is something to beRone in Norwalk
as well as in New Canaan and Stamford in
the way of assisting and encouraging Mr.
Fitch in the interests of the Institution of
which he is the founder. He has been hard
at work here in Paris for the past year, se-
lclecting very carefully and judiciously fi‘om
artists, dealers and at auctions sales, over
two hundred of the most beautiful paintings
that ever left Paris. These are destined for the
Gallery at the Soldier‘s Home and which the
trustees are now fitting up for their reception.
There is to be a Grand Fair given there on
the lat day of July to the 4th. It is expected
that the citizens of Norwalk, Darlen, Stam-
ford and New Canaan will all assist in this
undertaking, and commence now to prepare
for it their gifts to the poor orphans. Much
is thought of in the future as to improvements,
additions, and attractions, and I ’doubt not
the trustees will see that every cent received
will be applied to interests (if the home and
the comforts of the children. G. W. A. J.

FLAG Rmsnvo, rim—The event of the day,
at SouthNorwalk, on Thursday last, was the
flag raising at “Baruum’s Hotel.” A neat
sign post, with a handsome oval sign, was
erected, surmounted with a flag staff from
the summit of which floated the stars and
stripes. In design and execution the sign is
far superior to the generality of such boards,
and reflects credit upon the artist, Mr. Rod-
gers, of the Iron Works. The design :em-
braces an old New England House, painted
red, with a woman in the foreground draw-
ing water from an old well; ac., and the in-
scription “The Old Well Hotel.”
Mr. L. S. Barnum, the new proprietor:
seems to be giving excellent satisfaction,and
is making many friends. He has commenc-
ed building a large addition, three stories
high, which will give him twenty-five more
rooms,.and is making alterations and im;
provemeuts in the dining-room and through-
out the building. Hc evidently “knows how
to keep a hotel.”

Resting from their Labor's.
A gentleman informs us that on taking the
3.12 p. m., express train them South Nor-
walk, on Tuesday last, he found himself in
the midst of a party of legal voters on their
way home, i. e. from New Haven to some of
their dens in New York. This select party
had taken possession of one of the passenger
cars (not a smoking car) and were-resting
from their arduous labors of the day before
of voting early and‘voting often, and were
- regailiug themselves with smoking pipes and
segars, and a frequent passing around of the
whiskey bottles. On being requested to de-
sist from smoking, by one of the brakemen,
they only smoked the harder, thinking per-
haps it would be all right and no fault found
by the President or Superintendent of the
road.

I?“ A curious and wonderful little instru-
ment called “The Oriental Hygro-Barometer
or natural weather indicator,” has been left
with us by Mr. T. B. Carpenter, of New Ha-
ven, agent for the manufacturers. They
claim to be as reliable as the more expensive
Barometcrs, and to indicate changes in the
weather with as much accuracy. The basis,
or motive power, of the instrument is a small
Arabian plant, accidentally discovered sev-
eral years since by Prof. Louis Ullman, an
interesting discriptiou of which is given in
the pamphlet accompaniug the instrument.
In damp weather.the plant unwinds turning
the pointer on the dial towards “Rain,” in
pleasant weather it curls up and turns the
pointer in the opposite direction. It is
wonderfully sensitive to the weather, as we
have found by personal observation, and it
is claimed is very durable,—in fact never
wearing out. They have a thermometer at-
tached. The manufacturers have many tes-
timonials of the value and reliability of
these instruments from scientific men. The
entire instrument is sold for $4.00.

for nearly 50 years, and a constant reader for
10 years, to congratulate you upon the im-
proved ap rance, and to thank you for the
uniformly good character of your paper. It
is a blessing to the community. . S. B. S. B. .
The Norwalk Gazette appears this week in
new and handsome type, and makes a very
creditable appearance. It is is now one of
the largest and best weeklies in the State.
-—Har§fm'd Contact.
The Norwalk Gazette has put on a new
dress to celebrate its tin wedding,_or its tenth
anniversary in the hands of its present own-
ers. We heartily congratulate the Gazette on
this .new proof of its health and energy. Its
present managers have demonstrated their
ability to make it a live paper, and it is but
the legitimate result of their enterprise that it
has doubled in circulation and quadrupled in
its general business during the last decade.
The Gazette was originally started in the year
1800, and since then has grown from the size
of a sheet of letter paper to dimensions as
large as any paper in the State—Stamford
Adeocate.
The Gazette comes to us this week with a
new dress on, printed on copper-faced type,
' from Farmer, Little & Co’s type foundry. It
improves the looks of the paper. Our neigh-
bors on the coast seem determined tovbc sec-
ond to no weekly paper in the State, as to size
and get up, and they deserve success—Dan-
bury Jqfibrsom'an.
The Gazette has entered on its 68th year,
and the 10th year of the firm of A. H. Bying—
ton 85 00., appears in a handsome new cop-
per-face dress, and bears other evidences of
the prosperity its enterprise merits. It is'a
good local and family paper, and we heartily
wish it continued success—Bridgeport Stami-

In an article on “The Legislature—Its
Prominent Men, 850.,” the Ooztmnt says :—
The first question is, of course, Who shall
be speaker? With a Republican majority of
twenty-two in the house, it is reasonable to
presume that he will be a member of that par.
ty. Among the more prominent Republicans
in the house we notice the names of Ex. Gov.
Wm. T. Minor, of Stamford; the Hon. Roger
‘ Averill, of Danbury; Thomas K. Fessenden,
of Farmington; Col. Homer B. Spra ue, of
New Britain , Charles Ives, of East avcn;
Asa B. Woodward, of Norwalk, and others.
The candidates for the Republican nomina-
tion for Speaker will undoubtedly be selected
from these, the three most prominent being
Messrs. Minor, Averill and Ives. Gov. Minor
has had some experience in legislation, havs
ing been a member of both the House and
the Senate, and held for two years the office
of Governor. ' ‘
