As stated in our last the Maine election resulted in a glorious victory for the Repub- lican cause. The majority is somewhere bet-ween 20,000 and 25,000—double that of last year, and we elect all the congressmen. “As Maine'goes, so goes, the Union.” Nine cheers for the old Pine Tree State. WThe City Charter is soon to come be- fore the people for ratification. The Fair. The County Fair opens to-dayand gives promise of being fully as good, at least, as in any former year. Messrs. Spooner, Ketch- um, Barnum and others are expected to show some fine stock, and the display of Cattle, Horses, &c., will probably be better than ever before. Mr. Barnum informs us that he will bring a number of his pure blooded Dutch Cattle, called “White Blanket,” pecul- iar on account of their marks. They are jet black except a broad white stripe which goes entirely around them in the middle, like a white blanket. ‘ The Fair opens Tuesday evening, and Col. N. L. White, of Danbury, will deliver the opening address. L. S. Barnum will deliver an address during the week, upon the subject of the horse’s foot and treatment thereof. The Annual Address will be. delivered by Rev. A. N. Benedict, ofFairfield, at 1 O’clock, Friday. . . . Among the other attractions at the Fair, on Thursday, will be a Drill and Dress Pa- rade in the- afternoon, by the Scholars of the Weston Boarding School. This school has been organized into a military company, and the boys have been thoroughly drilled two hours each day in the new (Upton’s) tactics, by a drill-master fl'om New York, engaged expressly for that purpose. They have been supplied with arms and equip- ments by the State authorities, and wear gray uniforms precisely like those worn by the famous Seventh Regiment of New York. The School numbers forty scholars. The principal, Mr. A. S. JARVIS, takes great pride in this company, and in order to show them to the best advantage, has been to the ex- pense of engaging the services of the well— known Wheeler do Wilson Band of Bridge- port to furnish music on the occasion. The drill will commence between 1 and 2 o'clock, p. In. - No membership tickets are now sold. For further particulars see adv. The Bone Bull Tournament. . The tournament commences this (Tuesday) afternoon, and continues through the week. If the weather is pleasant there willbc some good playing, and the interest will increase from day to day. The committee have en- closed the Ball Grounds with a high board fence, and will do all in their power to pre- serve good order, and make the tournament a grand success and satisfactory to players and visitors alike. We give below as much of the programme as can be obtained, at present :— Contests for Base Running and Ball Throw- ing will take place previous to all games. Games will commence at 9.30 a.m., and 2:30 p. m., each day. ‘ ~ TUESDAY—at 2:30 p. m ; game between the Monitor Club, of Westport, and the Suffolk Club, of Huntington, L. I. WEDNESDAY—at 9:30 a. m., between the Liberty Club, of Norwalk, and the winning club of the previous day. At 2:30 p. m., be- tween the Alert Club, of South Norwalk, and the Bridgeport Club, of Bridgeport. THURSDAY—at 9:30 a. m., between the Bris: tol Club and the winning club of Wednes- day. The celebrated Yale University Club will probably splay during the tournament, or with the Liberty Club on Saturday. The committee have been fortunate in sc- curing the services of Mr. A. H. Rogers, Sec- retary of the National Association, as Um- pire. Tun Bovs IN- BLUE—At the meeting on Tuesday evening last, a company was or- ganized, and officers elected as follows :— Captain, E. A. Wilcoxson; FirstLieutcnant, W. A. Kellogg; .Second Lieutenant, P. R. Dusinberre; Secretary, W. A. Ambler; Treasurer, R. L. Ells. The company is named in honor of 001. Douglas Fowler. Uniforms have been sent for, anda street parade will soon be made. A meeting is to be held this evening, at which important business will come up. A full attendance is desired; and all men favoring the election of Grant and Colfax, whether they were in the service or not, are invited -to be present and join the organization.

The Regiment arrived Monday morning by rail, formed line and marched to the field selected, when tents were pitched and dress parade was held. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were devoted to drill. Friday was “Review Day,” and was a gala day in the village. Residences were adorned with flags, of which there was a goodly show, and all the people turned out in holiday at- tire to visit the camp, and large crowds at- tended from adjoining towns. The Inspec- tion in the'morning was fine, and the Re- views by Gen. Kellogg and Gov. English passed 06‘ very creditably. After Review the Governor was serenaded, and respond- ed in a speech of considerable length, high- ly complimentary to the soldiers and tickling to the citizens. He was followed by Burg.- Geu. J. H. Hoyt and Brig—Gen. Kellogg, both complimenting the Regiment highly. Major H. W. R. Hoyt. was called out, and made a telling speech, which was received with cheers. ' At the close of Dress Parade a meeting of the officers was held on the'field, and in re- sponse to their unanimous request Col. Cran- furd withdrew his resignation. The Regi- ment was paid 011‘ and broke camp on Satur- day. The Encampment was a success, and the management very creditable to Lt. Col. Haight and Maj. Hoyt, who were in com- mand and by whom all arrangements were made. Teacher-I, Institute in Norwalk. We have the satisfaction of announcing that Prof. B. G. NORTImor, Secretary of the State Board of Education, will hold a Teachers’ Institute in Norwalk, to continue nearly a week, commencing Monday even- ing, Oct. 12th, and closing the ensuing Fri- day evening. Ample provision will doubt- less be made by the friends of education all over the town to accommodate teachers and lecturers from abroad, and we can confi- dently predict one of the largest conventions thaI has ever been held in this State in the cause of Education. The re-awakening of the people for the welfare of our public schools, the new impulse which has been given to the cause by the enactment of a beneficent school law, the improvements everywhere apparent in the character of the public schools, the increasing demand for first-class teachers, thencw and ample school buildings, the improved methods of furnish- ing, the advanced appliances for interesting and developing the faculties of the young, mark an era in the educational history ,of our State, and stimulate the friends of the public school to renewed exertions in its be- half. The holding an Institute in Norwalk just as so many schools in town are under- going a transformation, we regard as ex- ceedingly timely and important, and trust every man, woman and child will join in welcoming the effort and encouraging the good work. We are assured by the inde- fatigable Secretary that the best talent of this and adjoining States will he enlisted to add interest to the meetings, and no pains will be spar d to make the Institute a model of its kind. The acknowledged ability and success of Prof. Northrop in every field in which he has labored to advance the cause of education is a sufficient guaranty of the value of his institutes. School CCmmittecs cannot do better than grant their teachers a few days’ respite to attend this Normal School brought right to their doors, and come along with them. Free return tickets on the N. Y. and N. H. and Danbury Rail- roads will hc issued, and this, together with the well-known hospitality of our people, will make the expense of attending a mere trifle. WScnator Ferry has gone to Washing- ton to be present at the Session of Congress called by the Committee for that purpose. Grant and Colihx Banner. A beautiful American Flag, 15x25,inscrib- ed with the names of Grant and Colfax, has been stretched across Main Street, from the Republican Headquarters. It is far hand- somcr and more appropriate than any ban- ner that could have been painted, and re- flects much credit upon the committee hav- ing the matter in charge. WThe Republicans of South Norwalk held their first public meeting of the cam- paign at Ely’s Hall, on Wednesday evening last. The up-town club numbering nearly one hundred, marched down, headed by the South Norwalk Martial Band. Mr. I. M. Bullock occupied the first hour in an able, earnest speech and was followed by Senator Ferry,who occupied another hour in a plain, forcible and convincing talk on reconstruc- tion and finance. The meeting was largely attended, and the second district may be re- lied upon to poll a large vote for GRANT AND COLFAX. REPUBLICANS, prepare for the Town Elec- tions which are to be held the first Monday in October,in all towns throughout the State.

The Teachers’ Institute, held at Ridgefield, last Tuesday and Wednesdaiy, was one of the most enthusiastic gatherings of the kind ever held in this county. Prof. B. G. Nor- throp, the Secretary of the State Education- al Board, had succeeded in enlisting the interest of a wide circle of the teachers and friends of public schools, and the largest church in the village was brought into requi- sition on the last afternoon to accommodate the increased attendance. The principal lecturers were Profs. T. A. Thatcher and D. C. Gilmau, of Yale College; St. John, of New York, and the honorable Secretary. Various clergymcn and teachers of the county participated in the discussions. The hospitality of the good people of Ridgcfield was unbounded, and though thrice the number was in attendance that was cprctcd from abroad, ample provision existed for all. What else could be expect- ed i‘rom a village that exhibits so much liberality and taste in its streets, its shades, its sidewalks, its flowers, its shrubbery, and everything else that makcsa place attractive to the stranger? ” Can’t bear the noise. Our Republican friends at South Nor- walk had made arrangements to fire one hundred guns on Wednesday evening last, in honor of the great victory in Maine, at which time a public meeting was to be held but on getting the gun on the ground it was discovered that some of the copperhead fra- ternity who had learned what was going on had spiked the piece, so the powder is still on hand to be used on the roceipt of the next republican victory, which we“ opine will be early in the coming month. 'So Mr. gunspikers you had better buy some cotton to stop your ears with, as the noise is bound to come. _._._._..._.,..- WOn Wednesday last, Mrs. Milner and another lady were considerably bruised by being tipped out of the back of a wagon at Winnipauk. A Democratic Editor Cut. Loose from the Seymonrites—Too much Copper- hendilm .for him. Among the many Democrats who were disgusted with the action of the New York Tammany convention, and dissatisfied at the surrender to Hampton, Forrest, Val- landigham, and the rest of the ultra copper fraternity, was Dr. Townsend P. Abell, editor of Our Country, the Democratic paper in Middletown, in this State, and the organ of the party in Middlescx county. Dr. Abell could not conscientiously support the n‘om- inations of the convention, and has not used his pen in aid of the ticket. He preferred giving up his paper to writing against his convictions. In retiring from it he publish- es the following valedictory, which we hope every Democrat will read 2— , . We herewith conclude our labors as the conductor Of this paper. Abrief explana- tion will suffice for the matter of taking leave of our readers. After an abscence of several years from the State, we returned a year ago last spring, and, with the consent and assistance of sev- eral leading men in the Democratic party, commenced the publication of Our Country. When we left, we were known as a Demo- crat. Subsequently, the rebellion occurred, and was followed by the war. We admired Stephen A. Douglas while he lived; when he died, we adopted and followed his ad- vice; we consequently returned a war De- mocrat. The Democratic party had just elected a war \Democrat for Governor. It had also elected three members of Con- gress, all of whom had been largely voted for under the impression that the had at least sympathized with the war. e, there- fore, took it for granted, without being par- ticularly inquisitive, that Democrats were yielding some .of their former prejudices and come on to better ground. But the Gov- ernor’s first message to the Legislature was a “hard shell,” through and through; and we became satisfied finally that the Demo- cracy was as unprogressive as the leopard in the changing. of his spots. We could neither bring the part up nor down to the level of our views. e could neither make a paper to suit ourself, or its patrons. We still had some hope of the National Conven- tion. August Belmont, in his preliminary circular, had talked plainly of “concessions.” If he could see such a necessity, we fondly thou ht other national leaders would be equa y as discerning. This paper was one pf the first—the only one in the State—to nominate Judge Chase for the presidency. Subsequently, with many abler and more experienced politicians, we labored assidu- ously to secure his nomination. The wis- dom of the convention decided differently, and we failed. We say nothing now of the method by which the result was obtained. The decision was authorative and finale. We had only to Work or retire. We have not written a single. line in advocacy of Seymour and Blair’s claims to an election, and have no design of engaging in this work. Their friends in this vicinity will not be greatly grieved at the withholding of our service ; nor shall we be entirely over- whelmed bythc financial annoyances arising from an honest inability to render that ser- vice. We are poor but we have a photo- graphic album. We shall find consolation —we shall receive support, we doubt not,‘in some other method of amusement than in that of bullying our own conscientious con- victions of political justice, and right, and duty. There are many other thin gs we would say, but we do not now propose to stretch too far the etiquette of the occasion.” Mr. Abell closes by recommending his suc- cessor as “a kauperhcad” of the ,first water, and as fully adapted to the Democratic ex- igences of the present canvass.” .W-__—_ Magazines.

If you gain e1ghtpcrcent., as Maine has done, on the vote of 1867, you will carry your state b 7,500 majority. But in 1866 you carried onnecticut by only 541 refiubh- can majority, when the republicans in awe ave 27,000. In 1864 you carried your state or Lincoln by 2,406, when Maine gave about her present vote. Your prospect, therefore, is full of hope, if your men are full of pluck and perseverance. We expect to record the vote of Connecticut for Grant and Colfax.” ' .————.—c.o+————— THE FREE SCIIOOL LAW. By Prof. B. G. Northrop, SECRETARY .OF THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION. We congratulate the friends of education in Connecticut on the enactment of the Free School Law with great unanimity by the General Assembly. We believe that this law inaugurates a new era in our school history, and that it will be cordially we1-_ comed by the people. While so great a change can hardly occur without some op- position, we are confident that the results of free school? will commend the system more and more to the confidence of the people. Such has elsewhere been the case. The Rate-bill remains but in two States of the Union, New Jersey and Michigan. In the other States, the free school system meets universal approval. It may now be called the American System. No State in the Union, that has once tried it, has ever gone back to the plan of tuition schools. Ohio abolished the rate-bill 15 years ago. We be- lieve that old Connecticut will soon say as New Connecticut now says :—“So satisfied areour people with the free feature of their schools, that you would have to search ‘with a lighted candle’ to find an advocate of a re- turn to rate-bills." Even South Carolina has to-day a better school law than many of the Northern States. Among the advantages expected, may be named increased attendance and interest of the pupils, a better popular appreciation of education, and a more general participation of the people in school affairs, tending to make the school in each locality the centre of interest for the whole community, as well as for the parents. Bearing a part in its cost, it is natural that every tax-payer should watch for the best results, promote respect for school time, and check non-at- tendance and truancy. Every true man thus becomes insome sort the guardian of this common interest of all. A system which en- lists the sympathies of the whole people, will still more enhance the interest of pa- rents, and secure their co-operation ' and more frequent visits to the schools. As education is the cheapest defense of the nation, and as all should see to it that the State receive no detriment from ignor- ance, it is just and right that all the prop- erty of the community be taxed to. educate the children thereof. The free school pro- ‘tects the State, fraternizes the-people, and breaks down invidious distinctions. We rejoice, then, that the rate-bill, bur- densome and odious to the poor, the prOlific source of strife and litigation, is no more. Henceforth the schools of Connecticut prof- fer their advantages frec to all classes. A few words may be timely in explana- tion of the new law :— ' 1. “The rate-bill,” or “rate of tuition,” and all provisions relating thereto, ar_c repealed. 2. The consequent deficiency in school money must be made up by town tax on property. Each town, as a town, is to de- cide what is the requisite amount to main- tain the schools within its limits, said town tax not to be less than one mill on the grand list (“four-tenths” and “six-tenths”). Any town may raise by town tax all the money requisite to maintain all its public schools. - This is already the practice in many towns. 3. There are other towns in which one or more districts may choose to prolong their schools beyond the usual time, or where graded, or high schools, or others of unusual excellence and costare maintained. In all such cases, any distfict may raise by prop- erty tax the additional funds needed. Each district retains the right to raise the money by property tax for the fuller support of such school or Schools, as it may wish to main- tain. 4. Where the district system cOntinues, each district organization should be fully maintained, and its Committee, Clerk, Treas- urer, &c., should be regularly chosen. 5. Any district may charge tuition for non-resident.pupils. No district is.compell- ed to maintain schools for the children of other districts or towns. _ 6. The law does not require-that an equal amount of the money raised by town tax should be given to each district. There are nearly one hundred districts in the State with an average attendance Of five scholars or less. Obviously, one of these districts is not entitled to as much money as a district of fifty or one hundred pupils. 7. The new law does not prohibit the practice of “boarding round”, or the volunta- ry contribution of wood for the schools. 8. The new law does not apply to the rate- bills now due, or that may become due at the close of a term unfiinished August 31st, 1868 (the end of the school year). 9. With the above single exception, this Act takes effect from September lst, 1868. 10. This law makes no change in those free and raised therefor a tax of one mill or more. It may be added that this law passed the Senate by a unanimous vote and was oppo- sed by only 4 or 5 negatives in the House. 0 —At Westport, recently, the cars being crowded, a little, girl attempted to pass from one car to another. The “bridge being up,” she fell between the cars, and was only saved from a terrible death by the quick move- ment of a gentleman standing on the plat. form, who seized the little one and dragged her on the car. A thrill of horror ran through those who saw the girl fall. —Georgc William Curtis closcsa political letter as follows :— . - May God give the country grace to lift up Its eyes to behold the bloody years from Sumter to Appomattox, to reflect who and what made those years, then to move for- ward to bring the rebellion at the polls, as It has already brought it in the field, to an “unconditional surrender."

Ens. on THE NORWALK GAZETTE : You have the thanks of many of your readers for your mbst just and admirable protest against the growing and shameful degeneracy of our Agricultural Fairs into low horse-racing exhibitions. Your capital lecture is worthy of being copied into all the papers of the State and Country, especially by the agricultural journals. , Like a good sermon or song, its repitition should be called for until the public mind has fully digested it. ' It has been most painfully evident for years that, in County Fairs, the addresses of distinguished speakers, the exhibitions of in- dustry and skill in all handicraft, agricul- tural and manufaéturing, and the immode- ment, intellectual and moral, as well as in‘ farming, fruit-growing, stock~raising, house- wifery, mechanics, esthetics, arts and sciences, and, in short, all that is true, and beautiful and good—which our County Fairs might be made to promote, ‘and to which they were once subservient—all this has become secondary to hone-racing. The effect of this is manifest on the grounds and in our streets, not only during the week of the Fair, but through the year. Those noble grounds are perverted into a race- course, where jockeys and rowdies have their gatherings and gamblings; and our once quiet streets are becoming so many “tracks,” where Jehus rival caCh other in shouts and whip-crackings, and'poor Dob- bins are urged to the top of their speed, to the raising of much dust and the peril of life and limb. If our Agricultural Society does not reform in this, let it go down in dis- grace; .and let us have a “Society for the Prevention and Punishment of Cruelty to Horses.” CITIZENS. Obituary. Died at South Norwalk, Sept. 8th, Mrs. Anna Nash, aged 94 years, 6 months and 4 days, relict of Jacob Nash, who died Sept. 8th, 1845, just twenty-three years before his lamented companion: Mrs. Nash was the oldest person in town, having been born March 4th, 1774, two years before the De- clhration of Independence. She lived through the entire history of the Republic, and enjoyed a remarkable degree of mental and bodily vigor during her long life. She was endowed with strong powers of mind, and secured the affection and esteem of all who knew her by her pleasant manners and amiable disposition. She was a devoted Christian, and enjoyed the fruits of 'her faith in a serene and happy old age. She was the mother of our late lamented and respect- ed fellow—citizen, Capt. D. K. Nash, whose memory is fresh and fragrant in this town. Two sons only of a large family survive her ; but descendants to the fifth generation are now living to cherish andhonor her memory. Long 'may the stock continue to bless the Church of Christ and adorn the annals of Norwalk. A. At a meeting of the citizens of South Nor- walk, held at the rooms of the Young Men’s Christian Association, on the evening of the 10th inst, Geo. Seymour, Esq., in the chair, it was Resolved, That the pond of stagnant water in the rear of the premises owned by John Wu and W. T. Crew, on the line of the New public nuisance, and deleterious to the pub- lic_health; that a committee of three be ap- pomted to inform the proper authorities of this resolution, and petition them to exercise all lawful means to abate the said nuisance. It was alsb further resolved, That the swamp between Moss Hill and the Railroad is also a public nuisance and deleterious to the public health, and should be abated, and that the aforesaid committee, notify the proper officers of this resolution. Messrs. A. B. Millard, Lorenzo Dibble and George Seymour were made such committee. The meeting adjourned for one week, to meet again at the same place to hear report of the committee and take such action as may be deemed necessary in the premises. Eight Hundred fillie- Completed. Another hundred-mile post has been reached on the Union Pacific Railroad; not many times more can we repeat this report, which has come to us eight times within two years past, before the whole line to the Pacific ocean will be complete, and'thelong- est railroad in the world be in successful operation. Less than one year ago the achievement of five hundred miles was made the occasion for national congratulation that half a thousand miles of the national railroad had been built ; now three hundred miles have been added, and the Indian-sum mcr days will scythe track-layers at or be- yond the point which marks nine hundred miles. Such rapidity of construction, un- paralleled in the history of railroading, has net been attained at the expense' of safety and permanence, as is testified by the gov- ernmént commissioners appointed to ex- amine and report upon the road, and by a multitude of intelligent eye-witnesses of the condition and working of the road. The Union Pacific Railroad has been frequently referred to as a national work. The extent of this nationality has just been made strik- ingly manifest bya report upon army trans- portation on the Plains, recently made by the United States Quartermaster General. From this report, it appears that the price paid the railroad for transportation of army height 'is about only one-fourth that paid for similar service in wagons. The amount paid the railroad in 1867 for such trans- portation was about $700,000, and the same amount of transpOrtation by wagons, at the contract price for that year, would have been $2,625,536. In other words, the saving to the government by the railroad, in one year, with an average of 386 miles in operation, was almost two million dollars. General Sherman well said that government could better afford to build the road entirely at its own expense than to have it remain un- built. The Treasurer’s report shows the net earn- ings for the year ending June 30, 1868, to have been over four million dollars. ‘ This, of course, was on way business alone, and gives only a hint of what- the total traffic Will be when the road shall be complete. So rapidly is the road being built, that , there now remains no doubt that the whole line to the Pacific will be finished next year. Further information concerning the road and its popular securities will be found in another column. . —-————§4.o+—————— -—-A small half-decked boat eighteen feet long, named the “Widow’s Son,” built on the Connecticut river for a sound pilot boat, cleared at the Bridgeport Custom House, on Tuesday morning, for a voyage to Elbow Bay, in the Bahamas.

After ,expu- tiatingon the number of new houses and stores and the bustle in the streets, and pay- ing a handsome compliment to the horse railroad companies, it says :— We cannot recall an period when the capital of New Englan exhibited such un- mistakable evidence of genuine prosperity, such liberality on the part of it's capitalists, such stirring enterprise among its business men and mechanics, and such obvious tokens of real prosperity, as greet the observer on all hands at the present time. _ ork and New Haven R.
