It. has- been remarkedthat the General
Assemby will be called upon to elect two
ndoc’s,‘ one in the place of Hon. Gideon
all, deceased,’ and one, perhaps, to fill a
vacancy to be caused- resignation. -
other paper has- it that udge Butler’s term
expires this year; ' Were it 90,. we take it
that there would be no question m that case.
Undoubtedly he can be his own successor as
long as the constitution permits him to serve.
. The State could ill afford to lose so able and
upright a judge. But the hot that his term.
does not expire until July 4, 1809, and as no
judge has intimated a thought of resigning,
we believe that the Assemb y Will have but
one judge to cheese—Courant. ' _ .
WThe Colman; speaks entirely Within
bounds-when it states that Judge Butler can
be his own successor for still another term,
when his present one expires in 1809. No
judge of the Connecticut Bench has taken
and niaingained a higher positionthan Judge
Butler. We believe that the delivered opin-
ions of none others have been so lreQuently.
copied Into the Law Register, the leading le-
gal journal of the counn'y, and editorially
commended. Every lawyer of the ‘ Stole,
with one possible exception, would deem
Judge Butler’s retirémentfi'liln the Bench as
a most serious loss to the judicial branch of
our government. ' We are equally confident
all will, rejoice that his protracted illness,
(which may have led his naturally sensitive
mind to contemplate a resignation, rather
than he should prove a hidrance’ to the dis-
patch of the legal business pmssing upon the
court calendar), is now virtually at an end,
and with more genial temperament, he may:
reasonably be expected to resume his duties
upon the Bench, with his life-long fidelity
and energy.

The Senatorlal Que-tion.
We were a little premature in our an-
nouncement that the Senatorial discussion
had been narrowed to the merits and claims
of Ex-Govs. Hawley and Buckingham, at
least so far as the newspapers are concerned.
Since the publication of our article touching
this question, lengthlyarticles have appear-
cd in each of the republican daily journals
of New Haven, setting forth at some con-
;siderable length the qualifications for the
position, of Hon. 0. H. Platt, of Meridcn ;
at present. Chairman of the Republican
State Committee. The Republican party
might look farther than Mr. Platt for a Sena-
tor “and do much worse." As a political
manager, organiZer and efiicient conductor
of political campaigns, Mr. Platt has proved
hi rare abilities.
Mr. Platt has filled various political posi-
tions with honor to himself and credit to the
State, yet we doubt Whether the time has ar-
rive-cl when his name can he made to con-
. cenlrate the strength the New Haven press
so 2:.tiOllsly invite. Indeed, had they pre-
sczth -..~ the namc of Cums Nonmor, with
l.:.lt‘ the argumentation conferred upon our
frif’lll Flatt, they would have awakened a
nu: .- .; general spontaneity of support, in this

Judge Butler’s term does not expire until
1869—not as soon as we thought by a year.
So the Legislature will have but one judge,
to make. Judge Butler’s health has been
poor, and he has sometimes thought of re-
signing his place on that account, but we
are glad to learn on the authority of the
Norwalk Gazette, “that his steady restora-
tion to health is no longer problematical.”
Connecticut has had few better judges, and
we should be sorry to lose him. he Gazette
also brings out as candidates for the jud e«
ship, Wm. T. Minor of Stamford, Joshua .

, Sidne B. Beardsle of Brid ort, and

The Unlom Pacific Railroad.
Nothingin the’history of the growth of
our country has more fittingly illustrated the
expansive character ofAmcrican enterprises,
or the energy with which Americans prose-
cute those enterprises, than the railroad now
being built across the continent from the
Missouri River, at Omaha to the Pacific
Ocean, at San Francisco. It is not necessa-
ry to narrate the history of this great under-
taking or to review the muniliccnt grants-
made in its favor by the United States Gov-
ernment. Information upon these pOints
was widely spread during the last year,
while the driving contractors for the con!
struction of the line were pushing it west-
ward toward the distant sea at the rate of
two and three miles .per day. Eminent fi-
nanciers, having the sanction and support of
the Government, had laid out the work, sub-
scribed to the capital stock and set the ma-
chinery in motion. To keep the, work ac-
tive and to be able to give the best assur-‘
ance that the whole grand line should be
completed within the specified time, it was
desirable to raise money by the sale of the
Company’s First Mortgage Bonds, and so
popular did these bonds become, so soon as
their character and security were generally
known, that the entire amount which had
to that time been issued, had been absorbed
by the public early in the present year. The
Company now announce that its bonds will
be paid, principal and interest in gold, thus
placing them on an equality, in every res-
pect, with the choicest of the Government
loans.‘ ‘ .. .
The progresslof the railroad has been rapid '
and successfuljo an extraordinary degree,
and even more vigor than heretofore will be
put into the work of construction during the
present year. A large amount 01' grading
has been done during the winter, and an ac-
cumulation ofmaterial made,vwhicll will en-
able the tie and'tra‘ék—layers to rapidly finish
the way for the locomotive through the
Mountains. A branch road to Denver will
soon be under way,.and branches to Mon-
cans and to Idaho and Oregon are projected-
which, with the main central line, will con-
stitute such a railroad system for what has
been erroneously called the “Great Ameri-
can Desert," as will ensure it a population cf
ten millions in ten years from this time.

As ypu hid-“it’s o‘er taken;
now you are again- endeuoring to stir up,
and to wake up an interest in the people to
some important improvements for the best
interests and well being ofa largeggmujority
of the people in the vicinity Of the Bridge
or business vicinity of yctrto-be prosperous
and thriving city of Norwalk.. Few, if any,
towns between N. Y.rand Boston have more
of the natural means of growth and of beau-
ty than our old Town. Nature has been
lavish here, and still we neglect to improve
her gifts, to a lamentable extent. We need
first, Water—good and wholesome water,—
and this we may have at trifling expense
and it should be had. Having taken some
measures to examine and see_what were the
resources I am so far satisfied of the feasabil-
ity that I venture to make a proposition, as
follows: Provided, the Town, Borough, or
any party, or person, will agree to loan for
this purpose the sum of $5,000‘at 6 per cent.
interest per annum, for a term of years, the
money to be secured by bond and mortgage
on the works; the money to be paid inns
the work progresses, I will propose and con.
tract to secure and have ready for use, a good
and suflicient supply of pure and good water
brought in within ninty days from the time
such contract is entered into, for all the nec-
essary uses of the people in the vicinity of
the Bridge, so called, and also a sufficient
.supply in case of necessity to supply the Fire
department, and also for watering or sprink-
ling the streets during the summer season.
For this purpose alone of sprinkling the
streets, ifI am correctly informed, the cost
last season was 40 dollars per week, raised by
subscription from the merchants here doing
busines and this for three months,or 13 weeks-
This would amount to rising five hundred
dollars or 200 dollars more than the Interest
”on the $5,000 required for a supply for'all
necessary purposes as at present for the year.
Fire plugs could be attached to the main
at convenient points where a supply could
be had, and in most cas‘cs where ”a Fire is
discovered, were Hose ready to be attached
a fire would be extinguished before an En-
gine could be got in readiness to begin. The
force of the water would be all sufficient to
carry a full stream from the Hose pipe over
any of the buildings we now have. R.
WThere will be no trouble about the in-
troduction of water, the moment a city char-
ter empowers the present chartered company
to lay pipes and prepare sewers for carrying
off the drainage.
A lady from an adjoining town sends us
the following with the request to publish.
She has certainly had unfortunate experien-
ces in the line mentioned, but we must be-
lieve that the cases she cites are the “ excep-
tions and not the rule,” for we know that, at
least, so far as our Norwalk carriers are con-
cerned, they are all honest, trustworthy men,
who would scorn to do any small, mean or
disgraceful act, lunch less to connive at any
such petty thieving :-— ,
_ Letters Robbed and Barrels Topped.
Having been a sufferer from both, you will please
through your valuable paper, Warn others to avoid
the same. Livingin the country, and having friends
in New York to whom I was desirous of sending
some cider, I sent two barrels by one of the Norwalk
. boats. When the gentleman received them he found
that the cider had been taken out and the barrels fill-
ed up with water, scarcely leaving enough cider to
flavor the water. I sent to the Captain of the boat
to know the reason, the answer was that “he did not
know anything about it, he did not see any of the
men take it out." Now when the Captain of a ship
takesa cargo on board, he signs a Bill of Ladlng, if
any of the cargo is missing or damaged, he is respon-
sible and made to pay for it, why can’t the same law
reach the captain of a sloop or steamboat. I was then
advised to send by railroad. I sent two barrels con-
Ftaining furl-y gallons each; paid a high price for the
cider and the freight to New York.‘ When they ar-
rived at their destination there was about a gallon in
each barrel, to let them know how good it was, “as
they had tested the quality.” It must have been ta-
ken out. on board the cars or at the depot in New
York. Now is there not any redress for this kind of
stealing ‘2 . '
Wishing a friend to purchase some things in New
York, I encios‘ ten dollar bill in a letter, the letter
‘ was received but the money had been extracted and
the letter closed up again. . ~ ~
A poor girl in Brooklyn, enclosed twenty dollars of
her hard earnings and sent to aged parents in the
country; they received the letter but the money was
not. there.
Now I ask what are all our officers, that are watch-
ing and interested for the good of the public, doing
that they cannot detect those fellows and bring them
to justice. If one of our great philanthropists Wauld
take the matter in hand, and have a 'stop put to it,
they would confer a great benefit on many whose
only means of sending plitfie money to their friends
is through the medium of the Post Ofilce.

Kassns. liaisons :——Being in Danbury a few evenings
since, I enjoyed the rare treat of a lecture by the dis-
tinguishevarofessor ofElocutlon, the Rev. F. T. Rus-
sell. Ills subject was “Dickens as a Writer and Read-
er. " A short sketch of Dickens as a.erter, was first,
given, followed by- readings from some of his works!
illustrative of his power of delineation of character,
both pathetic and humorous. Then. Prof. Russell
spoke of Dickens as a reader, describing the style and
arrangement of his readings in New York, and giving
\au exact imitation of Mr. Dickens’ manner of render-
Papers," and varlous other well known portions of his
works.- They who have heard Dickens, say it is like
hearing him again; and they who have not heard him;
get from Prof. Russell’s representation, a verv clear
idea of the manner and characteristics of the great
author. ' .
I understand the same lecture was. delivered in
Stamford the following evening. Why .cannot Nor-
walk enjoy the same pleasure and benefit as her neigh-
bors 7 Could you not give a hint to the Y. M. L'. A.,

II' The “Lira or Gas. U. S. Gnax'r,” from the 'pen
of Col. Henry C. Deming, of Hartford, cannot be too
highly recommended. The writer of this notice has
had the pleasure bf reading the first'hundred pages of
kind lie ever read.“ The style of the biographer is
classic and elegant, and the narrative completely thril-
ling. In these few pages the story is told of General
Gra‘nt’s parentage and early life, and his heroic partic'
lpatlon in our war with ,Ilexico. Every one ofonr cit-
izens who heard Col. Deming’s late lecture on Farra-
aut's “Passage of the Forts,"can’_ judgceomewhat of
the absorbing interest of this work. Moreover, this
biography is written with the sanction and by the au-
thority of Gen. Grant himself: It will unquestionably
rank as the best of the numerous biographies written
or in ' preparation, of our greatest soldier and next
President, (alter Bcnj. F. Wade (t) ). Mr. D. Hun.
tington, who is canvassing for this book in this vicini-
'. ty, will glvcithe people of Norv'valk an opportunity to
subscribe, which It is certain no one would fail to em-
brace who had already perchanco read a portion of the
work. J. F. F.
' Norwaik, April 21’, late. '
Dean Ennonsf—I partly live on Main Street and
have the pleasure of looking out upon this clean and
elegant thoroughfare day after day. ' Now Spring is
here we ought to have this street cleaned up. It is
.neither pleasant to get through nor look at, nor in.
deed to smell of. If our present officers will not at.
tend to it I hope our coming Legislature will give us
"some who will. To say the street is not‘clean does not
express all. It is filthy. Dead rats and other animals
are now thrown into it and permitted to remain there
for weeks and months. All sorts of garbage and shit
that should be buried and put out of sight and smell
of mankind, are now emptied into this street. In
fact it is a mere slough hole. A person runs great
risk wiio ventures into it with good clothes on. The
Borough ofilcera ought to enter their solemn protest,
if nothing more, against any one merchant throwing
more than six rate per day into the street. Tliey
' should also advise all our store keepers to have a pas-
sage-way open on the sidewalk. in front of their
premises, at all convenient seasons, at least eight
inches in width through which 'a man can take his
boots if he wishes. (Ladies are not supposed to have
any rights on this street). They should,also recom~
mend that when the mud and rubbléfin this street
gets so deep that a short man cannot cross it without
going in over his head, that some _one vphtntccr to

WPhomgraphers ill this state (as well
as other states) will have to be sharp to de-
feat the extension of the (so called) Bromide
Patent, as an application has been made and
filed by Asa Oliver Batman, administrator
for estate of J as. A. Cutting, deceased.
.Whitney d1 Beckwiill, of Norwalk, and
Horace L. Bondy, of Middletown, are the
authorized agents to receive funds, for the
usc.of the committee, appointed by the oili—
cers of the state convention to employ coun-
so].
It is believed that the extension can be pre-
vented if sufficient money can be raised to
contest it. >

School 1111‘ Young Ladies.
.We would invite the attention of our citi-
zens to the advertisement of a new school
for young ladies which is to open in Phoenix
Block, May 11th. Miss Beecher, the Princi-
pal, comes to as highly recommended as a
lady and experiencedteacher. It is her in-
tention to establish in our midst a school for
children and young ladies, which shall be
permanent and a credit to the town.
She has had much difficulty in finding suit-
able rooms and has selected those in Phoenix
Block as the best to be obtained at present.
We trust our citizens will co-operate with
the teacher, and enable her at an early day
to surround her self and her pupils with all
the appliances of a first class School—which
would certainly be an advantage to the town
as well as to individuals who wish to edu-
cate their daughters under their own super-
vision. , '

was voted that the highways, not under con-
tract, be kept in repair by the Supt. of High-
ways. The Seiectmen’s Report, laying out
, and widening Water street, was accepted,
and appropriations made for land damages
and grading. Voted, that the highway and
bridges laid out by Selectmen, from Wilson’s
Cove Road to Bell’s Island, be accepted, and
a sum not exceeding $1,300 be appropriated
for the same. The Selectmen were instruct-
ed to widen highway near Theo. Price’s
house, or lay out new highway, and report
thereon.

—W_e have ourselves both seen and heard a
large instrument of the above manumcture,
which has been purchased by the Congre a-
tionai Society of this place. It is a anterior
instrument in the.,»,mjechanical perfection
of its various putts, and in the resemblance
of its tones to those of a pipe organ, it is
superior to any we have ever heard. It
contains 5 sets=of reeds and 14 stops, and is
capable of a great variety 0f. expressibn, its.
softest tones'being beautifully sweet and
pure, while ,the,s_tronger tones are delight-
fully full and sonorous. . The reeds are
in the qualityof" the tones of. each set, and
tone can be used when.desir_ed,,and when the
whole are combined, a richer, grander vol:
ume of tone is produced than can bebyrothcr
that we should say'that this Organ was se-
