U. 5. Senator.
The Republican Legislative Caucus on
Thursday evening last. nominated Ex Gov.
WILLIAM A. BucmonAn for United States
Sena ior to succeed the renegade James Dix-
on. We rejoice at this result, as he is sure
to be elected, and we congratulate the truly
loyal men of the country on this valuable
accession to their ronks in the Senate. No
danger of his everbetraying them ; either by
, personal jealously or spitc, or by selling
himself to the opposition. Connecticut does
far more honor to herself than to him, in
sending so tried and true a man to the nation
a] councils.
Impeachment.
On Monday, May 11th, the High Court
of Impeachment assembled to discuss the
question of conviction or acquittal, with
the understanding that the vote should be
taken the next day, Tuesday. Several dif-
form]: Senators expressed themselves satis-
fIIetorily on the subject, until Henderson, a
Republican member from Missouri startled
members by denouncing eight of the elev-
en articles, when he had to stop for want of
time; he was followed by Trumbull, Re-
publican of Illinois, and Fessenden,Repub-
liesn from Maine, who also bitterly de-
uounccd impeachment. These blows, com-
ing from those whose every record had war-
ranted the counting upon them to vote for
conviction, caused great commotion, im-
perilled the success of the measure, and
filled the loyal heart of thekzountry with
alarm at the thoughts of the possibility of
these men voting against their previous no—
blc record of patriotism and loyalty, or of .
their provingfalse to the great party to whom
they owed their present high position.
People generally could not and would not
believe it. But on Tuesday morning after
consultation, and Senator Howard of Mich.
being so seriously ill as to be unable to be
taken to the Senate Chamber, the Managers
decided to postpone the vote until Saturday.
This was considered an evidence of weak-
ness. but notwithstanding it was hoped that
when Saturday came the Senate would vote
to convict. Saturday morning it was an-
nounced thatconviction lay with Mr. Willey
of West Virginia, and that he would proba-
bly vote for conviction on several of the ar-
ticlws. Upon the assembling of the Court it
was decided to first vote on the 11th Art'-
cln. the. substance of which is as follows :—
v’ifhat he declared in a public speech at
W I: shin gton, August 18, 1866, that the Thirty
IIIIII‘h Congress was not a. constitutional
Congress of the United States, but a Con—
ger _f the States; thus denying the validity
o: the-Ir legislation, except so far as he chose
Io lin-mire it; and, in pursuance of this dec-
ltIi'l‘ IIozI, attempted to prevent the execution
of ah-x'l‘enure-of-Oflice act, by unlawful]
euzrr‘u ing means of preventing Edwin hi7
Hilihii‘. from resuming the office of Secre- .
.' War, when the Senate had refused to
I- III his suspension; and also attempt-
. ‘J1'=‘\'Cllt the execution of the Appro-

sordid motives, so bascly stabbed the party
which had nom'ished and raised them in its
bosom. They will have ample time in the
quiclucss of private life, into which their ac-

regret this base treachery of party and
fricnils, and to the deep oblivion in which
may will sink we resign them, feeling sure

loons We are glad to note this evidence of
his prOsperity, for Charlie is a good fellow
and Imdcrstands and attends to his business

Reconstruction.
The House of Representatives has during
the past week passed votes restqging the
commonwealths of Arkansas, North and
South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, and
Alabama to their old places as States in the
Union. These bills were adopted by
a vote of 108 to 35. Strange to say, the
35 nnys were fr'om the party who have clam-
ored so long and so loudly about wrongfully
keeping ten states out of their representa-
tion in the Union, and have bitterly dc-
nounced the Republicans because they were
not admitted,‘and now, on consistency, as
soon as these states about whom they have
been so much exercised, apply for their
rights, the democratic representatives in
Cogress oppose their admission and vote 710!
Thus acknowledging the falsehood and du-
plicity of their former cries about a frac-
tional Congress, illegal representation, &c.
Verily, the ways of the wicked are past find-
ing out. -
@That 3. Conspiracy had been formed
to deliberately defeat Impeachment is clear-
ly shown by the fact that Chief Justice Chase
anticipating what the result would be, had
already arranged for a Dinner Party on
Tuesday last, at which the conspirators were
to probably arrange for the formation of a
new party. Although the vote was not taken
it will be seen that he knew his men, for im-
mediately after the Postponement of the vote
he took several of the doubtful men in his
carriage home with him while the others
classed as doubtful, followed in a carriage
with Senator Trumbull. These men all of
them, on Saturday last voted for acquittal.
Was he not sure of them. The N. Y. Sun
gives the following Programme said to have
been matured at the dinner-party:
Salmon P. Chase for President; Lyman
Trumbull for Vice President; William H.
Seward, secretary of state; W, P. Fessen-
den, secretary of the treasury; J. W. Grimes
secretary of the navy ; Andy Johnson, sec—
retary of war; Wm. M. Evarts, attorney
general ; J. R. Doolittle, secretary of the in-
terior; Samuel F. Cary, postmaster general.
The success of this programme depends
upon the acquittal of the president.

Down Town School District.
We are glad to see the liberal spirit shown
in this district in the matter of a new School
House. All sensible people anyway ac-
quainted with the growth of the town can-
not fail to see that there is to be a great in-
crease of population in theDown Town Dis-
trict for the next decade of years to come,
find that therefore it is evidently the best
policy now while they are about building,
to erect a building large and suitable enough
to accommodate the increase. That they are
wide-awake and understand their own in-
terests is shown by the fact, that on Friday
evening the 8th inst, they unanimously vo-
ted tobuild one of wood 35x50 feet and also
voted to appropriate the sum of $8000
therefor.
We understand that the Building Com-
mittee propose pushing the matter ahead
with all possible dispatch, and that , ground
, will be broken for the foundation of the New
School-House on or about the 26th inst.
For Chicago.
The New England Delegates to the Na-
tional Republican Convention, left Jersey
City on Thursday afternoon at 5.15, they
having been delayed by the non-arrival of
the Newport boat, which had the majority
of the delegates on board, and which had
been detained by a fog on the Sound. They
left in a special train which had been kind-
ly and generously provided for them by the
officers of the Erie Railroad ; it consisted of
baggage, smoking and five elegant sleeping
cars, the whole under the direction of Mr.
J. S. Dunlap, the New England Agent of the
Erie Road.
Our junior, who is of the party, writing
from Niagara Falls, says that on “arriving
at Turner’s at 7 o’clock we found a new de-
pot, about the size, and outside precisly like
the one at South Norwalk, but almost the
whole first floor is taken up as :1 Dining Hall.
Here the whole party were treated to a first-
class, splendid supper, tendered by the 011i-
ccrs of the Eric Road. There were two or
three hundred of us and the scene was jolly.
The arrangements were 'thorough and com-
plete, and the supper a most excellent one
in every respect. When all were seated
Mr. Kingsley, delegate from the 3d Mass.
Cong. District, made a short address, cx-
plainiug the arrangements, giving warm
praise to Mr. Eldridge, President of the
Road, and to Mr. Dunlap, closing by calling
for cheers for the latter gentleman, Mr. D.
responded in a few brief remarks, both for
himself and Mr. Eldridge who had intended
accompanying thti party to that point and
partaking supper with them. The best of
good feeling prevailed among the party, and
during supper speeches were made in reply
to calls by Ex-Gov. Hawley, who referred in
closing to Gen. Grant, when the enthusiasm
was unbounded ; by Messrs. Barker of Me,
Slack, Kingsley, Gooch, and a dozen other
prominent delegates. The supper passed off
very pleasantly indeed, plenty of time was
allowed for eating,(the-train being a special),
and the speeches were all short and direct
to the point. Cheers were given for Grant,
Hawley, &c., and round after round for the
Eric 'R. R. We had a fine night’s ride with
splendid accommodations, the ele’tly fur-
nished and broad gouge sleeping cars being
found by all very. comfortable, convenient,
well-ventillated, and all that could be de-
sired. ‘The whole party are delighted with
their treatment by the officers of the Erie
who have exerted themselves to the utmost
to make everything pleasant and agreeable,
and now, in the International Hotel, they
are passing the stronge'st kind of compli-
mentary resolutions in their favor, making
complimentary speeches and cheerin g. Iley
will never forget this trip.
Arrived at Homellesville at 6 o’clock,a. m.,
Where an excellent breakfast had been pre-
pared for us. Arriving at Portage, Mr. Dun-
lap stopped the train a few minutes to give
wonderful Bridge across the Genesec River,
said to be the longest in America, being 800
feet long and 238 feet high above the thirteen
stone abutments. ‘
.At Homellesville, Gov. Hawley received
the news of Gov. Buckingham’s nomination,
by special telegram. He took the news
very good naturedly, and does not seem in
the least unconsolable. He is still young
and may yet be one of the shining lights in
the U. S. Senate.
The party arrived at Buffalo at 10.15 and
were transported across the city to the Cen-
tral R. R. Depot in carriages provided by
the Erie Co. ' 'c
We remain he're until about 8 o’clock p. 111.
when we crOss the Suspension Bridge an
route .for Detroit via Great Western R. R,
and will probably arrive in Chicago on Sat.
New York. All are in good spirits and ap-
parently thoroughly enjoying the trip. We
go the whole distance on special trains,
with elegant cars, with exception of from
Bu’ifalo here by Central R. R. regular train.
Nearly all the Conn. Delegates are with
us. Several delegates have ladies with
them. In addition to the delegates the fol-
lowing members of the Conn. press accom-
pany the party: Capt. Fred. M.._Purtrick, of
the Hartford Courant, Mr. W’oodward of the
New Haven Courier, Mr. Campbell of the
Norwich Bulletin, and Mr. Knowlton of the
Bridgeport Standard. -
The delegates here also passed resolutions
favoring Impeachment, tobc sent to all New
England Senators.

In Eleanor-Inn.
Gen. Logan, connnander-in-chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic, has recom-
mended that the 30th day of May be fixed
upon throughout the country, for strewmg
the graves of those soldiers who died in the
defense of the country, with flowers, or
showing respect to them by some fitting tes-
timonials. It is well that we should rc-
member our debt to those, who died. for their
homes and kindred and express the honor
we owe them by some visible token, and
thus ever keep their memory green in our
own hearts and tnuchingly recalling yearly
to our minds the great cost of this cause for
which they suffered and died, and impress-
ing upon us the necessity of guarding well
the restored liberties of our ’own beloved
land; and sec to it that what they so brave-
ly and nobly contended for is not frittered
and wasted away by designing demagogues
and betraycrs. Gen. Logan speaks eloquent-
ly in his order :—
Their soldier lives were the reveille of free-
dom to a race in chains, and their deaths the
tattoo of rebellious tyranny. 1n arms. We
should guard their graves wrth sacred vIgI-
lance. All that the consecrated wealth and
taste of the nation can add to.their.adorn-
ment and security is but a. fitting tribute to
the memory of her slain defenders. Let no
wanton foot tread rudely on such hallowed
grounds. Let pleasant paths invrte the com-
ing and going of reverent visitors and fond
mourners. Let no vandalism of avarice or
neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the
present or to coming generations that we
have forgotten as a people the cost of a free
and undivided repubhc. .
If other eyes grow dull, and other hands
grow slack, and other hearts cold in the sol-
emn trust, ours shall keep it well so long as
the light and warmth of life remains to us.
Let us then, at the time appointed, gather
around their sacred remains and garland,the
passionless mounds above them ith the
choicest flowers of spring time ; 1 s raise
above them the dear old flag they saved from
dishonor; let us in this solemn presence re-
new our pledges to aid and assrst .those
whom they have left among us a sacred
charge upon a nation’s gratitude, the sol-
dier’s and sailor’s widow and orphan.”
The G. A. R. of Danbury are preparing to
follow the recommendation of Gen. Logan,
and invite the citizens of that place to join
with them in paying'the said tribute on the
30th inst. In this connection we would en-
dorse the following recommendation of the
Jefibraom'an :—
Would it not be becoming to take a col-
lection on the day set apart for the strewmg
of flowers on the graves of soldiers, for the
benefit of the widows and orphans of the
dead who are to receive attention. The dead
heroes who slumber in their graves know
nothing of neglect or distinction. The sur-
vivors, who were dependent on them, are the
ones who feel the pangs of cold and hunger,
and while we seek to make green the memo-
riesof the dead, let us not forget the poor
living .who are always with us.

Ajrrmrrr AT SUICIDE—A woman from
South Norwalk named Reed attempted to
commit suicide, on Saturday noon,by jump-
ing off the dock into the creek. She went
on the dock, walked some distance up to
where the water appeared deepest, laid off a
shawl and deliberately jumped in. Fortu-
nately it was low tide, and the current set-
ting strongly down, bore her rapidly down
towards the propeller Brady, whose hands
seeing her immediately rescued her and took
her on board. While floating down she per1
sistently kept her head under water and
was nearly gone when taken out. She was
however resuscitated but could not or would
not give any account of herself. Doctors
Barbour, Brown and Pardee were soon in at—
tendance and with the assistance of several
ladies and gentlemen present did everything
possible for her'final recovery. '
RU: Await—Quite an excitement and
some damage was caused on Saturday after-
noon last by the running away of a Horse
attached to a. heavy delivery wagon of the
Messrs. Scofield Bros, The runaway first
struck against the buggy of Wm. L. Waring,
Esq. of New Canaan, whose horse was hitch-
ed to a post in front of E. K. Lockwoods
store, this caused Mr. W’s horse, a young
and handsome 7 year old to jump forward
and he lodged up on top of the post, whence
it required the exertions of a number of men
to remove him; the runaway then struck
against a large wagon in front of the Con-
necticut Hotel and in which were seated
several ladies and children, but they fortu-
nately escaped injury, their wagon being so
stout as to successfully resist the shock ; the
runaway however left a portion of his wag-
on here and tm'ned up Main street with
another portion still fast, but fortunately, al-
though the street was thronged with vehicles
he only came in contact with one, damaging
that slightly. He was finally secured at the
head of the stréct and taken care of. Mr.

WA correspondent of the Danbury pa-
pers gives a long sketch of the success of
the Scofield Brothers in their Dry Goods
business. It seems they commenced busi-
ness in 1856 with a limited capital, and now
they are probably the largest retail dry
goods merchants in the State; they have
large stores in Danbury, Norwalk, Stamford
and Hartford. They .keep one member of
the firm, Geo. C. Scofield, constantly in
New York on the look out for bargains. Of
the Norwalk branch, it says z-is
“ We are very glad also to learn of the
success, even more. than expected, of the
Norwalk store of Scoficld & Barnum. Ed.
Barnum is one of the best fellows among
our acquaintance.”

Letters from the People.
A few questions propounded to the Hon.
G. HfPendleton, John Sherman, B. F. But-
ler and other repudiators in whole or in part,
direct or indirect of the Public Debt :— '
‘ Does not the acts of a legally appointed
agent bind the principal or party he repre-
sents ?
Is notthe Secretary of the Treasury De-
partment of the United States, the legally
appointed financial agent of the Govern-
ment ‘P .
Did not one or more of the Secretaries of
the Treasury publicly declare at the time
the five-twenty bonds (so called) were issued,
that both the principal and interest would
be paid in gold? .
Does. not said Bonds promise to pay
certain number of DOLLARS ?
Are not the Greenback Notes (so called),
also promises to pay one or more DOLLARS ?
As greenbacks are not therefore dollars,
but promises to payvdollara, can the Bonds
before mentioned, be 'paid with greenbaeks-
without a palpable violation of the simplest,
plainest principles of honor and honesty .’
When the Hon. gentlemen, (heaven save
the mark) have answered the above ques-
tions, a few more of the same sort will be
submitted.
P. S. Lest any one should suppose the
prefix Honorable to the above names to be
satirical, it may be proper to state that it is
only used as sanctioned by custom and as
appliedlto all persons holdingor havingheld
certain official positions. -
Mussns. Enrrons :—Would it not. be well
for the country to mark well- the recreants
who on Saturday were so lost to shame and
dishonor as to vote contrary to their past
records, and contrary to the wishes and de-
sires of their constituents; and it having.
been recommended by the N. Y. World to
buy votes for acquittal and asserted by
some that votes had been bought, it would
perhaps do to watch these men and see if
they sport sudden and unaccounted for
wealth ?- For our part we do not believe it
possible that men—Senators—would so be-
mesn themselves, but then the charge has
been made, and-the thing recommended by
the World. *
WCom. Vanderbilt after having consent,
ed to run the New England Excursion
train over his N -Y. Central road, at the last
moment, declined to carry out the arrange-
ment, whereupon the Eric road, with its ac-
customed liberality, sent. the delegates over
its road in a special train of sumptuous
sleeping coaches. Alternates and others
were supplied with excursion tickets from
New York to Chicago and return via Dun-
kirk, Buffalo or Niagara Falls, for $25 the
round trip. At leaSt ten or a dozen dollars
may-be saved at any time in taking passage
by this route, which, as is well known to

WOur thanks are due to Whitney Jr
Beckwith for a large Photographic view of
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, taken in front
of the south gate. ' As a photograph it is the
finest we have ever seen. As a picture of
interest to our citizens, and especially those
who have left Norwalk, this must prove
highly interesting. Here, on either side of
the walk, cmbywered amid the majestic
elms, are the monuments of the departed
sires, loved mothers and children; as we
look toward the Church, the form of the
venerable Pastor is seen facing his daugh-
ter’s grave,-—a little nearer, the evergreen
hedges surrounding the family vaults stand
like sentinels guarding the approach, and as
the eye, still looking onward and upward,
sees the beautiful doorway, the easemated
windows, turrets and steeple, rising as it
were step by step till it meets the who on
the top, it is lost amid the clouds and far
spreading branches of the trees. This pic-
ture must be studied to be appreciated, and
can be seen at their rooms.
