Editorial Letter.
WASHINGTON, May lst, 1868.

DEAR GAZETTE—With winter overcoat
and borean boots, I essaycd a trip front the
cold and dreary latitudes of Norwalk, on
Monday last, and awoke next morning as
the bright warm sunlight was dashing back
its rays from the dew-draped dome of our
national capital. The change in tempera-
ture was magical. The outer coat was dolled
ere I mounted theCapitalonian Bill from out
of the slough of despond hard by the banks
of the muddy and filthy, yet classic Tiber,
where the Washington depot stands. But
while the air wore the balmy efi‘ulgencc of
June and the birds filled the skies with their
sweet melody, my surprise was even greater
int (3‘ .ol ling all the trees in deepestleafygreen
and while thcapple, peach, plum, pear and
'cherry filled the atmosphere with a faintness
ofperfume, and the eye witha beauty past the
power of words to describe. On Tuesday,
we say that Washington was an arcadia of
birds and flowers and glorious sunshine.
Yet how little knew we of what a day may
bring forth. On Wednesday, a cold rain
with that chilly, heavy, horrible east wind
set in and again, despite the flowers and
green grass and trees, I doubted as I have a
thousand times before, if Washington had
much to boast: over Norwalk in the way of
climwe. Indeed; it is about as uncertain in
this respect as in matters of legislation, or
even as dubious as the fantastic tricks of “A.
J.” himself.

Impeachment, Impeachment, and how to
bore a member out of his tickets, or how to
run the blockade as we generally had to do
to get in to witness the trial, seemed the
all absorbing topic here. We listened to Mr.
Evarts for two mortal days thus got just- half
of his speech. If our share of tribute to the
trial‘ is any indication of the infliction and
strain upon the powers of endurance of
senators, God pity them all, but Garritt Da-
vis. lo sincere person from whom an opin-
ion could be drawn, seems to doubt. that
Johnson will be convicted. That he know-
ingly and even spitefully violated the law in
forcing ad interim Thomas into the War of-
fi( 8, all lawyers agree. It seemed painfully
apparent. that even Mr. Evarts with his great
legal powers and even greater reputation,
addressed his court with much the feeling of
the western pettifogger who was employed
to “say something" in aid of the man who
stole the ham and had it found upon his per-
son. Onc thing is certain, Andrew Johnson
will be impeached by the Senate or the Sen-
ate will he impeached by the people.

As usual, quite a number of distinguished
politicians and business men from Connecti-
cut are in the city. Matthew Merritt, of
Stamford, is atWillard’s, and Brandagee the
electric orator and irrepressible and enthu-
siastic man every way, is also here. He with
wonted admixture of sincerity and fun on-
nounces that “inasmuch as he himself can-
not be next U. S. Senator, he goes in for the
next. best man,” whom he believes to be
brave “ J 0e Hawley,” and will no doubt do
all he can to verify his prophecying. He is
hereto act as counsel in the great Bridge
Case of the Hartford people re. the Middle-
town Bridge. This is to have a committee
trial on Wednesday next. Jencks of R. 1.,
to make the plea for the right to cross nav-
iguble waters, and R. D. Hubbard and Bran-
du2-.e against said right. '

Scriator Ferry seemed to have more than
his share of. tortures, for in addition to the
impeachment trial, he has to endure a first-
class Washington infllenza,and it is difficult
to determine which of the two is productive
of tl.e greatest amount of suffering.

A reasonable prospect exists for govern-
ment aid for clearing the obstructions from

m- harbor, although action; in the matter
has been too long postponed.

All interesting; legislation is at a stand-
still, thc city is unprecedently dull and even
evegjv; (hempegat and,“every other-rebel man,"
sewn; in the same state of stoical indiffer-
ence as the Hoosier whose wife engaged the
bear in mortal combat. “Go it Andy,” “give
it to him Congress, don’t care which whips,”
ls itim‘dl the sum and end of the opposition
logic one hears in and about Washington.
Poor Andrew Johnson, he has neithera par-
ty, l‘riruds,respect or pity. What a condi-
tion for a fallen Chieftain. But it is, and ever
may i so prove, the inexorable law of our
humanity, that the creature who divests him-
self of all fidelity to friends, party, family
and country, shall go blackened and despi-
sed. llul- mourned or pitied, to his doom.

As ever, &c., B.

 

The Legislature.

This body assembles at New Haven on
\l-‘od...sday. Unusual preparations have
been made in the way of an Election parade,
and bu :ide, the civic procession a considera-
ble 'o l {y of Military are to fall into line. On
Tuesday» evening the caucus nominations
will be made. It seems pretty well settled
that Chas. Ives is to be speaker. For assist-
alll Clerk, 1. M. Bullock of this town would
seem to have the best showing from the start-
out. lIr. Bullock richly merits the position
iron:- the party, and our friends, if they con-
suit their own comforfin the way of com-
petcmy and fitness, will elect him.

 

 

 

Enema—We have become. inured to a
good deal in the way of provofitg blunders
in type setting, but Wheawe are made to say
a more genial term-mm,” instead of
“ temperature,” as we wrote in our reference
to 23m hopeful recovery of Judge Butler,
his; week, is a little more than we can bear,
however patiently the Judge may put up
with it, and we must be pardoned for depart-
ing from our usual custom of leaving all
such corrections to the intelligence of the

WM
A New Bridge.

At a special town meeting on Saturday af-
ter-neon last, itwas voted unanimously to
build a brithe across the Norwalk River at
the old crossmg near the residence of Thom-
as Brady, Esq., the same to be paid for from
the town treasury. Messrs. Harvey Fitch,
Henry F. Guthrie, and Martin S. Craw,
were elected a committee to build the said
Bridge. '

It was also voted that the Selectmen be
authorized to pay the Collector $800 for the
collecting of the State, town and highway
tax.
’ c

lnrnovnamNr.—We are glad to observe
that our staid friend Chas. C. Betts,’hasmade
an assault upon the doubtful architecture of
the old family mansion, and is to bring out
of the ruin a capacious and beautiful resi-
dence. Were it not for the same unjustifia-
ble veneration that led the Yankee to pre-
serve his heir-loom knife as a sacred family
relic, even after it had seven new blades and
five new handles, we are certain that not a
part only, but the whole of this dingy old
monarch of the past, would have to give
way to friend Betts’ irrepresible public spir-
it, and growing necessity for more cradle-
room, and sittings about his domestic hearth-
stone,

City Charter.

There is hope for Norwalk ! For. the first
time in its long history, nearly a unanimous
movement has been inaugurated for the good
of all its citizens. The movement in behalf
of a City Charter, which comprehends clean
streets, passable sidewalks, public water
works, and good order, has met the support
of nearly every respectable man in Norwalk,
without reference to party-politics, sectarian
religions, race or color. Indeed, we may
533'. that the Opposition to it does not
amount to enough to provoke even a smile
of derision. We chanced to overhear an en-
thusiastic Irishman who had been told that
under a city charter his little house would
be eaten up with taxes, white labor and cap-
ital were to be driven away altogether from
the same cause, when we get to be a city.
But Patrick, who had the good sense to SC?
cure a home instead of spending his money
for whiskey, had more logic in his head than
had been calculated upon, and his query
was, “ how it would be afthcr haphening
that the water works would be built by a
-rich company and no work come to the.
likes of us." Patrick was right, and the
bugaboo about taxes is the sheercst nonsense
and twaddlc in the world. The streets of
the city will not be paved with precious
stones, or the walks} bestudded with pearls
or diamonds. We have full .faith that a
wise, energetic, thorough municipal govern-
ment can be conducted and maintained at
far less cost to all than has been and is now
imposed by our contemptable nuisance of a
Borough.

—

@As one of the results of the prevailing
Real Estate fever, many very desirable
building lots have been laid out and offered
to the public which otherwise would not
have been available. Large tracts of land
in different parts of the town are constantly
cut up into building lots, which find ready
sale at remunerative prices, and While the
proprietors are enriched the general public
is bencfitted. A large proportion of these
lots are purchased by young men who de-
sire to erect homes for themselves and fami-
lies. New houses are being built everywhere
in town, and of every description, from the
modest cottage to the palatial residence, and
still there is a cry for “more.”

Persons desiring to purchase good lots will
do well to keep watch of our advertising
columns.

 

W Rev. Dr. Childs, Pastor of the First
Congregrational church, who has been South .
on a vacation for the benefit of his health, is
expected to return this week, and occupyhis
pulpit next Sabbath. Rev. Dr. Bodwell, of
the Hartford Theological Seminary, has fill-
ed the pulpit for the past four weeks, to the
great acceptance of g the congregation. His
extremely interesting, instructive and able
sermons call forth many warm commenda-

tions. .

Wise Expenditure.

A the town meeting held on Saturday it
was voted to erect a bridge across the river,
at the crossing near the residence of Thomas
Brady. This is a much needed improvement,
and ought to have been erected years ago in
accordance with a vote then passed. This
will soon prove a most important thorough-
fare and the road out to Main street ought to
be straightened, worked and widened. Nor-
walk is indeed walking up. In this connec-
tion, we are glad to note that S. E. 011n-
stead and others are about to open a street
from Catharine street, to near Lamb’s shop.
Even this should be continued through and
past the Union School house and out on
Main street.

OUR Samarium—During the past winter
the Neversink has be. much improved by
being cut in two amidships and lengthened
out fifteen feet. Last week she took the
place of the Nelly White on this route, while
the latter boat was undergoing repairs.
This week the Nelly resumes her place, and
will make daily trips to the city under com-
mand of Capt. Secor, a gentleman who is
making many warm friends on the route by
his unassuming, accommodating and gentle-
ly conduct. Mr. Perkins, the courteous and
indefatigable agent, gives his personal atten-
tion, to the line, and Mr. White spares no
expense to keep these boats in perfect trim,
and to make them cvcryway reliable, and
satisfactory to the passengers. Our citizens
should exert themselves to make this thor-
oughly excellent line a permanent success.

WThe New York A an states, on the au-

famous rebel sheet, tbe La Crosac Democrat,
that the Copperheads of New Jersey are
meaner than those of Connecticut for while
he has over Eight thousand subscribers in
Connecticut, he hasbuta few in New Jersey!
What a commendation ! Eight thousand s ub-
scl-ibers to his treasonable paper in CL! More,
probably than any single democratic journal
in the state can boast, so much for predicting
the assassination of Lincoln and cxulting
in the act, when it had been accomplished.

_ WThe New York legislature on Wednes-

pression of obscene literature, a democratic

that it was a serious blow at the democratic
press. Mr. Kcady, for such is the immortal
name of this candid legislator, was aided in
his efforts by several of the representatives
of the democratic city of New York who re-
iterated his statement that to hinder the sale

Impeachment.

The trial of Andy still draws its slow
length along; Evarts one of the counsel for
the accused, proving a very wind-mill in
talk, he grinding out his story for four days.
Stanbury finished for Andy on Saturday,
and to-day,(Monday,) Biugham, of Ohio,

The Tableaux.

The entertainments of Tableaux Vivants
and Music given by the ladies at Lockwood’s
Hall, last Tuesday and Wednesday eve-
nings, for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A., were
in everyway pleasing and successful. The
ladies were unceasing in their efforts to put
the scenes upon the stage in good style, and
to have all pass ofi‘ pleasantly, and were in
turn gratified by the appreciation shown by
the audience in prolonged applause. On
Tuesday evening the following Tableaus

scene in as quick succession as possible:
Hiawatha’s Wooing, three scenes; two
Gipsey scenes; Evening Study Hours at

‘M’me B’s Seminary, thrcc scenes; Depart-

ure of the Old Year and Welcome of the
New, two scenes; Wisdom and Pleasure or
the Youth’s Choice, three scenes ; Closing
Scenes in the Life of Mary Queen of Scots,
three scenes ; Taking the Oath, statuary ;
closing with “A Donation Visit to Parson
X. Y. Z. Hopkins, D. D.. and Wife,” intro-
ducing many laughable characters.

On Wednesday Evening the following were
presented z—Artist’s Studio; Closing Scenes
in-the Life of Mary Queen of Scots; Hia-
watha’s Wooing; Gipsey Scenes; Spiritual
Rappings; Divorce of the Empress Jo~
sephine; Taking the Oath; closing with a
splendid tableau, introducing many figures.
The youth having made his choice is being
crowned by Wisdoin (as in the Tableau of
Wisdom and Pleasure) and is surrounded by
two circles of young ladies, one kneeling and
the other standing, with several young men
at the left bearing a banner with the in
scription “Y. M. C. A. of Norwalk.” This
tableau was intended to be symbolical ; rep-
resenting the Associatiou, by the young men
with the Shield; its objects,—’by the symbol
of Wisdom crowning the youth; and the un-
ion of benevolent effort in its beheld—by the
group of young ladies comprising some
members from each denomination.

We have not room to speak of each tab-
leau, in detail, as we would like to do, not
to enumerate those we specially admired,
but while all were good, some brilliant, we
must say that “The Artist’s Studio,” (an-ang-
ed, we pelicve, by Mr. Whitney,) was sim-
ply the most splendid scene, of the kind, we
ever saw put upon the stage.

Each evening the tableaux were intersper—
ed with instrumental pieces by Mr. Alex. S.
Gibson, and singing by the choir of St. Paul's
church, Mr. S. Hatch playing the accompa-
niments. The music added much to the gen-
eral enjoyment, and the performers received
their share of applause.

The arrangement of the stage and curtain
were thorough and complete and the stage
management excellent. We congratulate
the ladies upon their success and think they
deserve the compliments so lavishly show.
cred upon them by the general public.

“ Fowler Guards.”

A touching yet gratifying memento of the
late 001. Douglas Fowler, whose brilliant
military career was so sadly terminated at
Gettysburg, has just come light. A little
silk flag, presented him by "the ladies of So.
Norwalk, when he was commander of the
little company there before the war, known
as the “ Fowler Guards,” and which was ta~
ken tothe war with him, has just been re-
covered. It was lost at Chancellorville and
recaptured by Sargent W. Gorham of the
128 Indiana Infantry at Raleigh, N. C., and
restored through his Capt, D. H. Chase, of
Logansport, Ind. The flag may be seen at
our oflice, and another week we hope to give
its entire history.-

Another Republican Victory.

NEW YORK, April 28.—-North Carolina has
gone Republican by from 10,00 to 15,000ma-
jority. Prominent Republicans in Raleigh
claim even over 20,000 Republican majority.
Conservatives concede that the constitution
is carried. Holden is elected governor by a
large majority. The Republicans have also
carried six out of the seven Congressional
districts. '

 

 

 

The latest dispatches from Georgia give
official returns from 54 counties, in which
Bullock, Republican, for Governor, has a
clear majority of 5,602. There are over 130
counties in the State, but probably those
heard from east more than half the vote.

 

NEW ORLEANS May 2.

No official returns of the recent election
have been published by the military author-
ities. The republican organ in this city puls-
lishes a list of unofficial returns from all the
parishes, which gave the constitution a ma-
jority of 17,868. Mr. Wat-mouth, the repub-
liCan candidate for governor, is elected by a
somewhat larger majority. The legislature
is claimed to be republican in both Houses
by the following majorities: In the Senate,
republicans 22 and democrats 14, and in the
House, republicans 60 and democrats 41.
This gives a majority of 27 on joint ballot.‘

SOMETHING N Ew.—Wc are glad to see
that the New York & New Haven Railroad
Company, have at length had erected one of
“Halls’ Patent Electric Railway Switch &
Draw-Bridge Signals” at South Norwalk.
With this instrument, it is impossible for a
switch, to be wrong or the Draw to be out of
proper place, without this telegraphic tell-
tale with lightening celerity not only giving
but keeping up the alarm at the Depot, just
so long the wrong remains unrightetl. This
little talismanic signal, which costs but a few,
dollars, would have saved the forty or more
precious lives sacrificed at Norwalk Draw,
and the half—million dollars paid out from
the treasury of this vast corporation in fee—
ble atonement for the catasthroph c. It
would have saved the engine and train,
that but a few years since ploughed into
Bridgeport harbor, and the hair-breadth es-
cape of a train plunging in again last sum-
mer, whereby the company lost one of the
most upright and faithful conductors it has
ever had in its service. We have had much
to say in unfavorable criticisms of this vast
monopoly, its greed of gain, its excessive ex-
tortions from the people, and poor facilities
compared With its means, but we have and
and still do commend Wm. D. Bishop as a
model Railroad President, who has brought
order out of chaos, and made this great sin-
gle artery through which all New England
must pass to New York, much nearer what
it should be than any predecessor. We only
hope his owner and master, Cornelius Van-
derbilt, will allow him to remain to cfi‘ect
other reforms and improvements, chief among
which, we deem the placing of one of these
alarm switches at every draw.

Letters from the People.

 

 

For the Gazette.
Down Town School.

It is known that the Commissioners, ap-
pointed by the Court, awarded us three-
fourths of an acre in the rear of the old
pound, on which to build a school house, and
the town discontinued the pound on our ac-
count, and then we commenced meetings to
get a house. There are enough in the Dis-
trict who desire to dwarf the enterprise, and
who have succeeded in limiting the amount
for building, fencing and furniture, to $5,000.
We are now using the old school house on
the roadside, and it is full. The enumeration
was last Jan., 190 scholars. Since then, 20
. have come in the district. By next winter
it is calculated that there will be 75 more. A
great many go out of the district to school.
In the face of all this they vote to build a.
two story house, 30x40 feet, which will make
two rooms, one over the other, holding about
90 scholars. Ninety is too many for one
teacher to do justice to, therefore, we would
need two teachers. With a good school we
will have, I think, 125 attending next winter.
You see by that, a building 30x40 feet is not
sufficient for the present, let alone the future.
Judges say our district will double in three
years, then where will we be? I think the
smallest house we should have, would be 35
x50 of two stories. Two rooms on the first
‘fioor, of such a house will accommodate our
present attendance.

The upper story can be advantageously
used for a church, or lecture room, singing
school, or any other public purpose. ,_ We
having nothing in the district that can be
used for such apurpose. When it is wanted
for school purposes we have it withoutbuild-
ing a new house. I think if they are wise
they will build a house large enough, bor-
rowing money for a term of years, with
which to pay for it. The district is growing
in wealth and population, and five years
from now it can be paid for with a much
less cfi’ort So, gentlemen, give us a house
large enough, either of brick or wood, and
you will not regret it. - ' ***

Q‘ The adulteration of food has been at-
tended with results so fatal, and been so
alarmingly on the increase, that France and
many other countries have enacted laws
making it a criminal ofi'ence. In the absence
of such wholesome laws it behooves the
heads of families to know what enters into
the family diet. Herrick Aliens Gold Medal
Saleratus is warranted not only pure and
health-giving, but economical. It makes
one~third more bread, cakes, &c., from the
same quantity of flour than when other pale-
ratus or soda is used.

dies of Norwalk who so kindly and at so great snout.
lay of time furnished an _ entertainment of Tabloid;

the ladies of the varlou: churches of the place, and
will in the future press forward with renewed zeal
in its noble mission. The Association desires also to
express its obligations to the gentlemen who assisted
in the entertainment and to Messrs. Geo. G. Bishop,

Wnnns—It has leased the Almighty Dilposor of
events to remove mm as, bv death, our Mead and
brother,—thc Hon. Josun . Lana, of Norwsik,

-—ln he prime of his life, andln the midst of his
usefulness, who has been so long and so intimately
assoclated with us in the arduous and responllbl
duties of our profession, dlstln bed for his tal-
cuts and learning; res cted or his integrity, and
beloved for his many 05. Therefore
Resolved, That while we sincere] mourn his loss,

we will ever cherish in lively and a ectionate remem-
brance those noble and manly qualities, which dis-
tinguished him in all the relations of life and endeared
him to us as a member of the profession, which be
honored and adorned.

Resolved, That as a tribute to his memory, we re-
m“ the Court to adjourn. to enable us to attend his

eral and units with his bereaved famll and friends

Resolved, That the Court be requested to order these
resolutions to be entoredu the records of the Court,
and to become a part of t e same; and that a copy of
the same be transmitted to the famll‘y of the deceased,
assuring them of our appreciation the great and ll"

We are sorry that. Mr. Kellogg does not choose to
talk before two disinterested persons. We could then
easily prove that every assertion that we have made
so far is true and correct. including the “less than
nine per cent expense," and 'we could also show him
that no company can guarantee their policy holders a
‘gfiflyper cent" dividend upon the present rates of pre-
miums. If Mr. Kellogg will call at our ofilce 201

PULMONIO LIFE SYRUP.

For the cure of incipient Consumption, Coughs,
Colds, Croup, Asthma, Liver Complaints, Dyspepsia,
and General chillty. For several years I have been
urged by kind fi-lends, who have used, and benefited
by, my Life Syrup, to put it up for general sale; but
few know the large expense, now that the country is
fiooded with Patent Medleluesmblcb attend the same.
For years past I was reluctant to-do so. as the capital
required would be large and I did not wish to curtail
the operations of my Venetian Linlment business.
But, thanks to the generous public, who have appre-
ciated my Venetian Linimext. I am now able to do so,
without any detriment to my large business intbat
medicine. The foundation of my success I attribute
to attending to the manufacture of every drop myself,
and shall do the same in regard to my Pulmonlc Lite
Syrup. The Ingredients are perfectly harmless, but
act on the Lungs and Liver with astonishing cfiect.

“In the 5 ring of 1858 I was most severely alfilcted

of night sweats, completely prostratlng my nervous
system, and [producing such a debilitated state of
health that a tor trying medical aid to no purpose, 1

my rlends. At this stage of matters I was prevailed
upon through the influence of a nel hbor to try Wis-

lv left me, the night sweats deserted me. hope once

emu-m ol' the old kind, fine as fiotr, free from coarse

pbospbate in market, although sold for only

Twenty-flue Dollars a Ton in New York.

This article has only been used one season, but its
effects have astonished every one who have tried it,
and the company confidently assert that used in quan-
tities W as large as was formerly used at the com-
mon Poudrette, that it will not only double the crop,
but ripen from ten days to two weeks earlier.

This makes it by far the cheapest and most prefera-

I used a quantity of Croasdale’s Super-Phosphate on
corn and other crops last year, and the result was
highly satisfactory, especiallym the corn. My opin-
ion ls, it will pay to use good hospbate, such as yours,
on almost any crops, no matter how rich the soil is.
It ives the young plant a vigorous start that is felt

do the entire season.

THE WAY 1'0 BRING UP WORN OUT FARMS.

Statement of Professor James 0. Booth, of the results of
Croasdule'a Su -Phosphate on his farm of 60 acres,
mar While all, Del. 00., Pa., during the term cf
five years.

The returns are the cash receipts, alter deducting
the purchase of only the feed and seed. The number
of cows are added to show, 1st: That a considerable
amount of cash has been expended in this purchase.
Id: That a farm can gardually dispense or diminish
with the purchase of fertilizers, by increasing its home

roductlon of manure: The cash returns of 1861 show
ow poor the 60 acres were before using the Phoahate.

To the last cash account of 1865, and to the value of

the number of cows, should be added the very large

increase of fodder and manure, and the greatly in-
creafed fertility of the soil.
