Impeachment.
Impeachment has failed, as all our readers
are supposed to know. So far as itmay
have any bearing upon political parties, we
'are confident we» shall make more by hav-
ing Andrew Johnson in the White House
than we_ possibly could with noble old Ben. .
Wade there. Johnson cannot act out his
nature without inevitably uniting and inten-
sifying the faith and works of all Republi-
cans. Nevertheless we deemed ImPGWh'
meat :1 dutyand we should now be glad to
feel that none other than honest and con-
scientious convictions had produced the ac-
quittal. But the sickening details furnished
by the Managers, of bribery and corruption
and the confessions of Thurlow Weed are
so revolting as to cause a feeling of indig-
nant shame, overtopping all disappoint-
nlCnl. .
@The formal tender Of the nominations
of the Chicago Convention was made to Gen.
Grant and Mr. Colfax, Friday evening. Gen.
Grant made a characteristic response, ac-
cepting the nomination, and pledging his fil-
turc course with his past.

The Legislature has got itself into a funny
attitude. It has voted to increase this mon-
ster mOn‘opoly’s capital stock three millions
more. 'This makes seven more than its cost,
and of course the people of Connecticut have
got to pay the dividends on this increase in
the way of increased fares and freights—for
it would never do to declare 25 or 30 per
cent. dividends as they easily might do on
the old capital. The scheming head of
Cornelius Vanderbilt will be visible, before
we get through with his management of the
two great through roads of Connecticut.
Trumps—Some code ought to be enacted
to arrest and put to hard labor the gangs of
thieving, drunken tramps who infcst the en-
tire highways from New York to Boston.
one of our most esteemed citizens come
near being seriously wounded by a blow
from one'Of these scamps, who after having
been fed and kindly treated, repaid the chari-
ty by stealing from the entry of his donor,
and upon discovery, turned with deadly
assault upon the one who had befriended
' him. '
It is said that Speaker Colfax, when he
read the result of the third ballot at Chica o
for Vice President, sat down at his 'tab e,
and amid all the turmoil and enthusiasm
around him wrote a note giving the results,
which he dispatched to his mother by a
special messenger. He said to those around
him : “She is so anxious to know, and I do
not like to keep her in suspense.” The man
who thus remembers his ,mother'will not,
under any temptation, forget his country.
Mange.
WAnd we‘ once chanced to hear this
same good mOther'pay the Speaker one of
the highest compliments a statesman might
crave. A gentleman was conversing with
her concerning her son, at one of his popular
receptions, when the mother replied: é’era,
Schuyler was always a good boy, he always
washed the dishes for me when I was sic ."
This is a prouder chaplet on the Speaker’s
brow than any nomination for the Vice
Presidency.
Who sixth Anniversary ofthe Fairfield
County Baptist Sunday School Convention
will be held at the Baptist church in this

New York Sun.
. We publish on our outside an interesting,
descriptive article from Leslie’s Illustrated,
and also a cut of the new Sun Building,
remodeled from old Tammany Hall. We
think the article will be read with interest.
The success of the Sun under its new man
agement, has proved one of the marvels of
metropolitan journalism, and clearly shows
what talent, with a liberal and discreet out-
lay of money may accomplish, in the way
of popular favor and patmnage. As Mr.
Greeley well says, “The Sun is one of the
sprightliest and musical papers in the coun-
try,” and having all the news and that well
and clearly condensed, and then sold for,
just half the other N. Y. dailies, it is no .won-
der it should exceed them all in circulation
as well as in merit. -
WID Paris, flag and brick walks have
given place tO the tarrcd gravel and asphal-
tum. These walks are unquestionably an
improvement upon any walk now known..
Let any one who doubts it examine those
“in the New York City Hall Park. The re-
cent wet weather has made the necessity for
these walks across our Green in the lines tO
our Churches, more apparent than ever and
they should at once be put down.

WThe sudden and unexpected dcccase
of Mrs. Elbert Curtis, has awakened more
than ordinary sympathy and sorrow among
the large circle of acquaintances who knew
her, only to love and revere her noble quali-
ties of wife, mother and friend. Peace to her
ashes and hallowed be her memory.
' -——-—o.o—.——-—
WA great source of annoyance to our
citizens generally and several of our mer-
chants particulary, is the gathering on sev-.
eral most prominent corners, of a crowd of
idlers, blocking up the walk and outraging
all sense of decency with their rude, vulgar
comments upon ladies who may be obliged
to pass in their vicinity. The Messrs. Prow-
itt’s, and Bernhard & Co. have vainly remon—
strated with those hanging around the cor-
ners in front of their stores, but they recieve
nothing but abuse. in return, and our effi-
cient (‘2) borough authorics, cannot or will
not do anything" to remedy the evil. Per-
haps if the rude idlers who infest these cor-
ners, were not voters, or did not belong to
the dominant party, the burgesses miat
possibly be prevailedupon to give their ca-
pable police orders to keep these corners
clear.

. Herein Norwalk, the ceremonies under
the local Post of the Grand Arnly of 1110
I Republic were conducted quietly and unos-
tentatiously, but with evidently (lee-P feeling
and respect for their fallen comrades. The
society here is small and owing to adverse
circumstances they were unable to perfect
their arrangements in time for any extended
notices to be given. It was however an-
nounced in the various Churches on Thurs-
day evening that they would decorate the
graves and an invitation extended to citi-
zens to join with them in. this tribute to
the noble dead.
Therefore at 1% o’clock 'on Saturday af-
ternoon, notwithstanding the rain still fall-
ing, a delegation of the society bearing a
profusion of flowers, woven by fair hands.
into handsome wreaths, crosses, boquets,
&c., proceeded with the old starry flag at
their head, to St.Paul‘s Churchyard and left
their “floral offerings upon the graves of
Lieut.-Col. ALRERT WILCOXSON, of the 17th
Conn.,'Vols., and OLIVER S. BISHOP, Hospi-
tal Steward of the 27th Conn, Vols. From
thence the delegation marched to the cem e-
tery where a number of our citizens had-
gathered to unite with them in their com-
memorating services. The exercises here
were in reading the order ofMaj.-Gen. Logan
by the Post Adjutant Lieut. R. L.Ells, Prayer
by the Rev. Mr. Breckenridge ; Singing of
the Hymn America; a short but eloquent
address by the Rev. 0. W. Gates; a touch-
ing and feeling tribute to the soldiers by Dr.
Asa Hill ; Benediction by the Rev. G. Hau-
lenbeek. At the conclusion of the services
they passed around in procession to the dif-
ferent soldiers graves, and the Post Com-
mandant, Lieut. Joseph P. Crossmon, an-
nouncing the name, company and regiment -
of the deceased, each grave was in turn deco-
rated. In this cemetery were the following:
Capt. GOULD J. JENNINGS, Co. G, 5901

Capt. THEODORE L. BEcxwrrH, 28th C. V. _
Private GEORGE MARVIN, 28th C. V.

proceeded to Pine Island cemetery, where
another concourse of our people had assem-
bled. Here the exercises opened with the
reading hy the Post Adjutant of Gen. LO-
gan’s Order, followed by Prayerby the Rev.
Mr. Simonson, Singing of America, an Ad-
dress by Rev. Mr. Woodrufi‘, Chaplain of the
6th C. V., Remarks by Rev. Messrs. Dunning
and Breckenridge, and Benediction by Dr.
A. Hill. Chaplain Woodruff’s address was
very eloquent and finished and we regret
we have not room for it this week. The fol-
lowing graves were decorated: \
' T. B. BENEDICT, Co. H, 8th C. V.
H. H. BENDICT, U. S. Cavalry.
WILBUR NASH, Co. C. 27th C. V.
WILLIAM W. WESTLAKE, Co. A, 17th C.V.
CHARLES MERRILLs, Co. H, 8th C. V.
A'committee was also sent to deposit flow-
ers on two graves in the 01d burial ground
Down Town, and on three in St.Marys’s
churchyard.
There being still another centc‘ery to
visit, and the time and flowers both being
short, it was decided to postpone until the
next day their visit to the Union Cemetery
at Five Mile River. Notice was according-
ly given in the Churches of the district on
Sunday morning that the exercises would be
held at the cemetery at 4 o’clock, at which
hour a very large concourse of people were
gathered and the services opened by the
Rev.,Mr. Dunning of South Norwalk read-
ing General Logan’s Order, followed with
and Remarks from Rev. Messrs. Raymond,
Dunning, Platt, and Alvord, Singing of
Ame a, and Benediction by Rev. Mr. Ray-

From garden-bed and field,
To deck the green above the breasts —
That made the Northern Shield.
Pluck off the sweetest orange blooms
And roses white and rare—
But not for marriage altars now, -
Nor for tho young bride’s hair.
Ask lilies for their palest buds,
And violets for their blue—
Ask wood and dell for greenest leaves
For those who died for you.
And lay above the bosoms cold
Where brave hearts now repose,
The lilies pale and violets blue
And orange bloom and rose.
And when the other J unes shall bloom
Through all the years to be,
Bring flowers as sweet and fair as'these
For those who died for thee.

W Read what the New York World said
about Gen. Grant some time ago:
“Gen. Grant‘s last campaign stamps him as
the superior of his able anta onist as well as
of all the commanders who ave served with
or under him. Of the steadiness and stench»
ness of Gen. Grant’s position, or the up-
righlness and soldity of his character, no
man in the country doubts or affects to doub t.
On the score of loyalty and solid public ser-
vices, no man in the country can come into
competition With this illustrious soldier.”

Target Practice.
The Norwalk Guards, Capt. W. R. Smith
had their annual Target practice, atthe Am-
phitheatre, on Wednesday last. As usual
their Target gave evidence of good shooting
it being well riddled,with quite a large num-
ber inside of the circle of the Bulls-eye. Five
rounds were fired and the Company Cham-
piou'badge for‘ the best shooting was award-
ed to Edgar. S. Wilcoxson, be having made
the best string, the aggregate of his the shots
being 28 1-2 inches. Five other of the Com-
pany followed him pretty close, viz: Lieut.
J. C. Handle, Chas L. Wilson, John H. Quin-
tard, Capt, W. R. Smith and Frank Mead,
they also hitting every time. The best.
single shot was made by Lieut. Charles
Olmstsad being only 1-2 inch from center.
The Target, was of usual size, placed at
300 yards distance and was hit once or more
by nearly every member of the company.
On their return to their Arlqtllry. the Guards
were regaled with Philadelp in Ice Cream
sent in by Messrs Douglass dr Mead; also,
with Cigars from the Champion shot—Mr.
Wilcoxson. The Guards fully maintain
their old prestige.

all taken. The gontlcmanly oflcers, in charge, baw-
ewr, finally consontctfto telegraph ahead and have a
car detached from another division and placed on our
train for our accommodation, and before dark we
were comfortably ensconced in a Pullman car. The
day cars in general use on mostof the ' western road!
are far better than the cars used on our eastern roads,
are very comfortable, Well ventilated. and finished
with great elegance, while Pullman’s Sleeping cars
are superb—elegant in‘fiuiah, luxuriously upholstered,
and complete in all their appointments, roomy and
elegant in the day time, furnished as 7 tly as a
parlor, with not the slightest appearance bf a bed-
room; at night, they are transformed, as if by magic:
into sleepluz apartments, with-soft beds made up
with clean sheets, quilts, &c.,' and passengers can
take choice of‘p‘rlvatc saldons,‘ whole sections, or sin-
gle berths (double) orcon hire a berth and “double
up” with a friend, and pay accordingly. These cars
are built byths Pullman Company, who who putltllcm
on the roads, by contract, the railroad company keep-
ing the body of the car and running gear in order and
the Pullman company pocketing the price charged for
berths—an arrangement that pays both parties well.
The Pullman company are alsouow building “Del-
monico” Cars, the some as used on the trip of the New
England delegation from Suspension Bridge to Chica-
go, in which passengers can ride, take their meals in
first class Hotel style, and sleep. Pullman puts these
cars on the leading western and southern roads and
has already made a contract with the Pacific Railroad
torun curl through from New York to tho Pacific.
One of his can now runs on cach’exprossstroln on the .
Pacific Road, and we have secured berths in the one
out to—night. This is what we call going to the moun-
tains "‘ln style.” ‘ '
Leaving Chicago we were forcibly impressed with
the beauty of the surrounding country. Chicago,
which has grown so rapidly since 1820, and is fast be-
coming a formidable rival to New York, has plenty of
room to grow, there being no natural obstructions
for hundreds of miles west. The North Western
Road runs due west through‘the states of Illinois and
Iowa. From Chicago, through the entire state of Il-
linois, the land is a dead level, and on each side of the
Road, as far as the eye can reach, lots are fenced off,
and every acre of land is under cultivation, blooming
like a garden, and in fact Illinois is known as “The
Garden State of the Union.” All along the line of the
road, at short‘distances from each other, small but
,properous looking villages are springing up, and neat
comfortable looking farm houses and cottages, and
more pretentious looking residences are constantly in
sight, reminding one of New England. The cars on
this road run rapidly,—making their mile in less than
two minutes,—and very easil y, 'there being no jarring
and jouncing from one side to the other, the road-bed
being solid, and the track being laid on a straight
line, due west. with no curves. The grading of the”
road through Illinois could not have been very expen-
sive, for there are no hills to cut through and no val-
leys to fill up. . _
About nine o’clock, p. m., we reached the first ob-
ject of special interest. the Mississippi River, and
were greeted with our first sight of the “Father of
Waters.”We passed very slowly over the bridge, first
across several wide tributaries, over several islands,
and then over the main river. It was dark, but we
could see the river and banks on each side for some
little distance, and were much pleased at the sight.
Arriving at Clinton, on West side, Hears. Barnum
and Fanton left us to visit some relatives in that vi-
clnity, intending to rejoin us at Omaha after our re-
turn from Cheyenne. The river passedwe went to
bed and bad a fair nights rest. The next morning, at
'l' we stopped at Boonesboro for breakfast. From
here to Omaha we had a change of scene; the country
was altogether difi'crcnt, and instead of level land, we
had rolling prairies, wood land, hills and valleys, the
country almost entirely unsettled, no fences in sight,
no land, or but very little under cultivation. At the
Des Molnes River we had some pretty natural scenery
an passed coal miles which were being worked, and
saw cars loaded with the coal for transportation.
Much of this is rather a poor quality of bltumlnous
coal, isqu on the Pacific Railroad and costs some
812 per ton delivered here.
At noon we stopped at Dunlap for dinner. This
place, which the inhabitants think “cannot help being
a great city,” is about seven months old, and is at
present chiefly populated by‘ railroad employees, a di-
vision of the road ending here, and one commencing,
so that there are two sets of railroad men permanently
living here. There are several fair stores here, pret-
ty well stocked with goods, and quite a number of
billiard Saloous, restaurants, dzc. The ride after din-
ner was through a pleasant country, more thickly set-
tled and better cultivated than the eastern part of Io~
wa through which we had passed in the‘moruing, we
saw several emigrant wagons pointing westward and
in the distance the smoke of a prairie on fire. The
road through this section had only been finished about
a year. and but few settlements had bocn made be-
cause there was no good market; now the farmers
find a good market for all their produce at St. Louis,
and it is said the country on the line of the road is be-
ing quite rapidly settled. We reached Council Bluffs, '
the western terminus‘of the read, about 3 o’clock, p.
m., and getting into coaches were transported to the
banks Ofthe river to the Ferry. Here we found a
stern wheel steamer, and keeping our seats, were
drawn down the steep bluff on to the steamer. There
were some half-dozen coaches, or omnibuses rather,
each drawn by four horses, and as the first one drove
on the bout it passed around an open space on the
the sides of the boat till it arrives at the gangway
through which it had entered, and then stopped, the
other stages falling into line, extending way round
the boat,_ the horses facing the opposite gangway.
With this large deck deck load the steamer moved
across the muddy waters, tied up at opposite levee and
the stages passengers and all. were drawn up through
a narrow passage, and on to the to p of the bluffs.
Our party stopped at the “International Hotel,” the
largest and best of the innumerable Hotels in this
mushroom city. The International is built of brick,
is quite large, and is well kept,—a much better ho-
tel than we expected to find ll] a place so recently a
“howling wilderness. It was built, we understand by
an enterprising woman from Connecticut. Our party
were anxious to push, right on, but being from the
land of steady habits, and not desiring to break the
Sabbath by travelling all day, concluded not to tckc
the express out that night but wait until the next
which does not leave until 5.30 to-nlght, arriving at
Cheyenne to-morrow night.
Omaha is quite a large city, having grown very rap-
idly tbcjcst three years. The people claim a popula-
tion of1_7,000, and probably has really about 12,000.
It is said that 1,200 new houses were built here last
year, and that there will be as many this year. This
is a wonderful growth, but then, again, the character
of the houses must be considered. They are almost
entirely of wood, manyof thestores but one story, and
very small at that, and the residences small and cheap-
lyconstructcd,and even inferior as a whole to the new
buildings so rapidly being constructed in the suburbs
of Chicago—Still there are considerable many fine
brick blocks just finished of in course of construction,
two of which are threestories high, and contain about
ten large, fine stores each, on the ground floor. In
the business portion 01 the city, every ofher building
is occupied as an Hotel, Saloon, boarding house, bil-
liard saloon, restaurant, or oimillar business. In one
of the new block! is a large, elegant billiard saloon
with fourteen tables. and the ever present liquor bar.
A bridge has been located and is soon to be built over
the Missouri River to connect the Union Pacific Ball-
road with the Chicago and North Western Railroad,
which will be a grand improvement. The govern-
ment has large storehouse: here, and .the Union Pa-
cific Railroad has large Machine shops, Car shops,
Paint shops, Foundry, Round House, file, where they
build their own cars, do thelr own repairing, are. of
these shops, which are extensive, I shall speak in my
next. On the hill west of the city, is an imposing
building, built for a State House. The capital has re-
cently been changed, but what is to be done with this
building I do-not know.
In Chicago the weather was cold. the wind blowing
strong from the lake, and overcoats were very comforb
table. Here the weather is very warm, and people
are wearing summer clothing. The dust is intolera-
ble, but is nothing to what it will be later in the
season.
Business is rather dull at present, and there are not.
many new contracts being made, ltis said, for build-
lng. There are some large wholesale houses here do-
ing a heavy business, and the retail stores are ‘ well
stocked with all the necessaries. and even luxuries to
be found in the eastern cities, and at reasonable rates.
There are seven or eight churches here, which
.seem to be quite flourishing; their membership is not
very large, but is constantly increasing, and they look
forward to a useful career. Our party attended the
Congregational in the morningmnd the Lutheran, in
the evening, and in each case were well pleased with
the se ces.

parturc for Cheyenne. G. N .. E.

Progrcu of the Union Pacific Railroad.
4 ,Tclegraphic dispatches repo'rt the comple-
tion of 600 miles Of the Union Pacific Rail-
road. The rapidity with which this rail
road has been constructed is without prece-
dent in all the history of railroad elierprise.
An immense force of laborers—about ten
thousand men—is at work under skillful
leadership, and before the end of the season,
at least 350 more miles will be added to the
completed distance. There will then be fin-
ished more than 900 miles west from Omaha,
or more than one-half the distance to Sac-
ramento. The summit of the Rocky Moun-
tains, the highest point upon the entire line,
has been surmounted and left in the rear by
the builders, and the industrial army is now
on the western slope toward Great Salt
Lake. ,
The Union Pacific Railroad Company,
which are doing this great work, are offer-
ing for sale their First Mortgage Bonds at
par and accrued interest from January 1st.
in currency. They are for $1,000 each, have
thirty years to run, pay 6 per cent. gold in-
terest, and principal as well as interest is
payable in gold. These bonds are issued-
only as the road progresses. The govern-
ment loans, to aid in building the road, Uni-
ted Slates Bonds to the following amounts ;
$16,000 per mile from the Missouri to the
Rocky Mountains, 9. distance of 526 miles ;
$48,000 per mile for the 150 miles through
after. The Company are then authorized to
issue their own Bonds to an equal amount,
and no more. During last year, about
sold, based upon the number of miles com-
pleted. The entire line will be com-
pleted in 1870, when the trafiic and profit of
the road must be immense.
The Company’s Bonds have unusual pro-
visions forrsecurity. The charter granted
by Congress makes them a first Mortgage
upon the entire line, taking precedence ev-
en of the government’s claim, the latter
holding a second licn as security for its ad
v , c'cs. The receipts from way business al-
ready show a remarkably successful Opera-
tion of thelinc. During the eight months
ending December 31, 1867, the net earnings
were more than three times the interest up-
on tlle Company’s Bonds, ond the trafiic
must be greatly increased as the road pro-
gresses. -
WHAT Is A DARLING Y—Au- exchange an-
swers this question in the following de cious
style: It is the dear, little, beaming girl
who meets one on the door step; who flings
her fair arms around one’s neck, and kisses
one with her whole soul of love :, who selzes
one’s hat; who relieves one of one's Coat,-
and hands the tea and toast so prettily;
who places her selfish form at the piano
and warbles forth unsolicited, such delicious
songsfwho casts herself at one’s footstool,
and clasps one’a hand and asks on 1', un-
heard of questions, with such brig t eyes
and flushing face, and on' whose light, fiO'ssy
curls one place one’s hands, and breathes
“ God bless herl”.as the fairy form departs.

MONTGOMERY HOUSE, .
Five Mile River, Fairlield 00., Conn.
I HAVE recently leased for a term of years anew
and commodious Hotel, 255 miles from Norwalk
and 5 miles from Stamford, (:1 new station, “Roway-
ton,” has just been opened within )6 mile Of the Ho-
tel). The House has been furnished with new furni-
ture throughout. It is located on the banks of Five
Mile River, with a frontage of 150 feet. House 50x45
feet, three stories and basement. It has a command-
ing view of Low’ Island Sound, and in close proximi-
& New Haven Railroad it is rcacIIed in from 1% to 2
hours. There are also plying constantly between N.
Y. City and Norwalk, two steamers, one leavinglevery
day orning and evening, also, a sloop from t e Ho-
tel 0 ce 9. week. thus ufl'ordl'hg a variety of conveyan-
ces to ahd from the city. Within .14: of a mile of the
Hotel are two churches, as well as numerous residences
of highly respectable families, forming a settlement
at once agreeable and delightful to the sojourner. My
experience as a public caterer, both South and East, is
that of acknowelcdgcd ability to keep a first-class
House. There are numerous drives in this neighbor-
hood that are unsurpassed; those who appreciate
aquatic sports, will find the boating and fishing une-
qualed. The terms of board are accommodating, and
vary according to rooms. For further particulars en-
quire on the premises at Five Mile River. P.0. station
