Electiéns To-dny.
The great states of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Iowa, all hold state elections
to-day, Tuesday. West Virginia follows on
the 22d and ends the list of fall elections,
till the great presidential struggle on the 3d
of November. Of Pennsylvania both par-
ties appear to be about equally certain. The
Republicans have discovered most disgrace-
ful frauds in naturalization, but hope to
avert the disaster designed thereby. The
“ Repeaters” which are known to be coming
from New York to stuff ballot boxes will
also be greeted with a warm reception. We
await the result with admitted anxiety. Ohio
and Iowa will swell up a satisfactory ma-
jority and even Indiana, which 'our oppo-
nents claim with even more certainty than
they do Connecticut, will declare for Grant
and her own favorite son. Except for the
contest to follow in November these state
elections would possc5s little national inter-
est or significance. But viewed in the light
of the important bearing they are to have
upon the results of the Presidential election,
their importance cannot be overrated and
the public mind will be ill at case until the
results are known.

Our Worthy Tax Gatherer.
If there is any vocation more vexations
and unrequiting than that of editing a coun-
try newspaper, it must be that of tax gath-
erer. He must, ran and chase and wait and
then be growled at and abused for doing just
what the law compels him to do. Our oivn
most indefatigable and worthy Collector,
Stephen Raymond, Esq., shares the fate of
all that ilk, no matter where located. Quite
a little effort was made to scratch his vote at
the last election, but he runs away ahead of
his ticket and wins the heat by a majority
far beyond his party vote.
That Pond Hole.
It has transpired that the pestilence breed-
ing pond adjoining the railroad just below
the Norwalk Depot,‘does not belong to the
corporation, but that the title, is in whole,
or in part, in the name of its dapper Presi-
dent! This fact as well it may, will make
the people of South Norwalk shake worse
than ever. The abominable pit ought to be
legally indicted as a nuisance and forthwith
sunk, buried out of sight, covered over,
drained or dispersed. It has long been a
joke, but it now clearly imperils the lives” of
our people and should no longer 'be ,toler—
ated. ,
ug‘At the late Town election the democ-
racy were specially cautioned to “Beware of
Split Tickets.” The only split ticket offered
was the Republican which was carefully
oounterfcited, and only one name in the
whole 75 altered. But it did not work. Re-
publicans can read.
* The Horse Fair.
An adjourned meeting of the County Ag-
ricultui'al Society was held to-day to make
arrangements for the coming “ Horse Fair
and Farmers’ Exchange,” which is to be
held on the Fair Grounds, Nov. 10th, 11th
and 12th. It has been decided to offer about
$6,000 in premiums. -

KILLED BY THE CABS. ——Mr. Theodore
Ells, son of Edwin Ells, formerly of Nor-
walk, was killed by the cars at Ansonia, on
Several years ago,
in firing a salute on the anniversary of
Washington’s birthday, he lost the sight of
both eyes by the premature discharge of the
cannon. Since that time he has been keep-
ing a news office and store, and on Satur-
day morning went to a lumber yard adjoin-
ing the railroad track to purchase timber
for an enlargement of his premises. As the
morning train approached, he was standing
on the side track, but feeling the jar caused
by the approaching train, and thinking it
was on that track, he stepped off on to the
main track in front of the locomotive, and
was killed. He leaves a wife and a large
circle of relatives and friends to mourn his
sad death.
To Our Citizens.
A large number of Teachers are now in
attendance at the Institute them other towns,
and more are to arrive. It is desired, as is
customary at such Institutes, to entertain
these Teachers, during their stay, at the
homes of our citizens. Many have been pro-
vided for, but arrangements have 'not been
completed for the large number present. All
persons willing to entertain one or more are
requested to send in their names immediately
to Mr. J. W. Wilson, 01'. to Mr. Fairbanks.
We trust our citizens will'respond promptly,
and maintain the reputation of Norwalk for
hospitality. .. T.

WA very pleasant “surprise” was per-

when her old scholars, cherished friends and
neighbors availed themselves of the occasion
to present her with tokens of their regard by
a visit in large numbers and'the gifts of seve-
ral volumes of rare books,
street Lumps—More Light.
On Sunday evening last, it was long after
dark before the street lamps gave any light,
and our church-going citizens had to make
the best of it in the dark.
There can be no excuse for this neglect,
nor for incommoding the citizens by ex-
tinguishing the street lights at 10 o’clock——
the very time they are most needed.
A canvass of the Borough tax-payers will,
without doubt,favor having the street lights
all night,'or at least till after midnight.

[By Request.]
Dr. O’Bronnan, L. L. 1)..
. Refugee.
As may be seen by our advertising col-
umns, this brilliant Irish orator and dis-
tinguished refugee has, at the request of a
numerous and highly influential committee,
consented to address the people of Norwalk
on Wednesday evening next. The Doctor’s
fame as a polished and learned speaker has
reached all parts,-but judging from the press
of this Union, Dr. O’Brennan’s presence and
,addresses far surpassed the people’s anticipa-
tions of his oratorical powers. We under-
stand that this eminent graduate of Trinity
College and the Honorable Society of King’s
and Gray’s Law, Dublin and London, in de-
fending the character of Ireland, rests en-
tirely on the authorities of anti-Irish and
anti-Catholic; historians. His picture of
English savagery and Irish civilization in
the Irish
the early and middle ages of Christianity is
painted with a master hand. So say the
Rockville Hines, the Boston PM»: and other
respectable journals.
Dr. O’Brennan is no ordinary man. He is
still young in appearance and vigorous in
mind and body, though we are assured he
beganj his political career in July, 1828,
when O’Connell was elected for the County
of Clare. He was never a mercenaoy politi-
cian—his sole aim having been the inde-
pendence of his native land; and had he
yielded his own convictions to the alien
power, he would by that power be loaded
with riches and covered with honor. Since
1839 he has nobly upheld the temperance
movement. With American pOlitics he is
intimately acquainted, as the readers of the
Connaught Patriot, for which he was twice
incarcerated in British dungeons, are well
ware. The Doctor is himself the writer of
many learned 'books. We contemplate a
full house, and promise them a rich treat.

_ Among the articles exhibited at the late
Agricultural Fair deserving favOrable notice
is Burdick’s Hay Cutter, which attracted
much attention. This cutter is so {arranged
that it will out different lengths and cannot
be choked in the feed, and cuts hay, straw
or stalks with equal facility and with so
much ease and rapidity that those who are
using them could not be induced to do with-
out them. These cutters have taken the
highest premium at the late New England
fair, the fair at Mechanics Institute in New
York, at every state and county fair where
they have been exhibited. W. C. Street is
the agent for the larger portion of this coun-
ty and they can be seen at his store.

A good word for the Now Koren Road.
An oppressive sense of public duty com-
pels us to utter many unpleasant truths con-
cerning the corporation which controls Con-
‘ necticut legislation in the interest of Mr.
Vanderbilt, by the deliberate purchase and
ravishing of our most virtuous senators, but
we now rejoice in the opportunity of saying
a good word for it audits managers. The
President promises to get rid 'of thc- Steam-
boat delay and nuisance at Harlem draw on
our morning trips down,which encourages
so much profanity among commuters in
haste to get to business. Also to adjourn
ten minutes Stamford lunch abomination
and delay on the 4.30 Express up, when all
passengers are in hungry impatience to get
to their own dinner tables at home ; and
this is not all; he promises that the fares
between stations in Connecticut, shall be re-
duced as low as they are between stations
from Portchestcr into New York. So that
not as now, will we have to pay 811v cents a
mile from Greenwich to Port Chester, and
only three cents from Port Chester to Mamar-
oneck.
These promises are getting a little old, we
confess, the last for instance, which was
made the late lamented Legislature, but
then these are glorious'reforms and we will
not be restrained from the luxury of saying
a good word for this hitherto arrogant mon-
opoly—that is—w-h-c-n they do it.
@Attention is called to the adv. of G. O.
Kceler & Bros. in another column, about
Boots and Shoes. Since this enterprising
firm commenced business, they have pushed
with great energy their boot and shoe de-
partment, and have so increased the business
in that line that they have been obliged to
fit up the store adjoining their grocery, form-
erly occupied by E. Curtis, especially for
this department. They have just put in
their winter stock, and claim to have the
largest in Fairfield County, and a much
larger and better assortment than ever be-
fore offered to the public here in Norwalk.
They keep all sizes and styles of either
gents, ladies, or children’s wear, and our
people will do well to giVe them a call.

Saving the Young.
The least read of all the issues of the press
is one of the most important and interesting
departments. The Reports of our benevo-
lent societies are received and laid aside as
if they were merely the records of what is
past and gone and of no earthly use to any
‘body. Yet they are often exceedingly valu-
able, and every one who contributes to those
institutions ought to have interest enough in
them to see what is done with his money.
The 44th annual report of the American
Sunday School Union is a remarkable repos-
itory of facts and figures regarding a mighty
work. In the years past it has sent out la-
borers who havc actually organized 1,731
new Sabbath schools, with 10,667 teachers
of 70,972 scholars. The report 'ves an out-
line of the work in the great est, as well
as the East and shows what blessed results
have attended the schools. We select this
for special mention because it concerns-the
children and youth of the land, the hope of
the country. There is nothing more hopeful
in all the works for good for America than
Chrifiian labor among the young. And
whoever will read such a pamphlet as this
will find reason to thank God and take cour-
age.—'—N. Y. Obsereor.

President Lincoln’s (Thanks to Gov.
Seymour.
Ex-Gov. Tod of Ohio thus referred to Ho-
ratio Seymour in a‘ recent speech: .
“I know him well. He was Governor at
the same time I was Governor. Mr. Lincoln
called for volunteers. I sent 30,000 while
Seymour sent only 15,000. The President
went round complimenting Seymour, and
sayin nothing about what~I had done. I
took r.. Lincoln to task for this. I said,
‘How is it that you are complimenting Sey-
mour for his 15,000 men and ne lecting to
compliment Morton and me ?’ is answer
was perfectly satisfactory. He said: ‘Why,
Tod, I never thanked Mrs.Lincoln for a cup
of tea in my life.’ [Laughter and a plause.]
Then the.truth was, Morton and had done
nothing more than was especial of us,whz’le
Seymour did. He had never done the like be-
fore and newer did afterward. It was not
necessary to keep a Major-General in Indi-
ana, Illinois and Ohio, to correspond with
the President, as it was in New York. In
those states the Governors acted as the Pros-
ident’s correspondents and agents.”
If those who quote Mr, Lincoln’s compli-
ments of Seymour as evidence of the latter’s
loyalty, will pursue their investigations a
little farther they may find in the “Record
letter from Gen. John A. Dix, dated Aug. 8,
1863 :
“I renew the expression of my anxiety to be
assured b your Excellency, at the earliest
day practicable, that the military power of
the state will, in case of need, be used to en-
force the draft. * * * I desire it,becausc
I otherwise deem it my duty to.call on the
general government for a force which shall
not only be adequate to insure the execution
of the law, but which shall enable me to car-
ry out such docm'ce measures as shall leave their
impress upon the mind of the country for years
to come.”
This sounds very much like a formal ex-
pression of the remark said to have been
made by Gen. Dix: “I shall have troops
enough to take care of I'iotcrs, and you too.”
Again, as further evidence upon the best
Democratic authority of the peculiar quality
'of Mr. Seymour’s loyalty, we. submit the fol-
lowing extract from a recent speech of Capt.
Marshall, brother of the rebel Humphrey
Marshall, who is now stumping Kentuck
for Seymour and Blair: -
“Seymour nominated as a War Democrat
for the reason that no other could win. He
was called a War Democrat, but he had never
given any old or support to the Government in
prosecution of the war when it could be acoz'dcd.
In 1863, when the rebel troops were in Penn-
sylvania, and the government called on Sey-
mour, who was then Governor of New York
to furnish troops’to expel thenfihc answered.
in the same manner, if not the same lan-
guage, as the Governor of Kentucky, in 1861
viz: that he would not send them. He did
send, however, for the reason that he was un-
ablc to do other-wise.”
Can’t any one with half an cycscc how
very loyal Seymour was?

tcttcrs from the People.

Norwalk Cemeteries. .
Did it ever occur to you that the most.
conspicuous and most disgraceful exhibi-
tion to a stranger catering your beautiful
town is the “GraveYard” on Town Hill ? _ 1
Did you ever think how suggestive is the
marble slab stuck in that old ‘stone wall, on
which is inscribed “Norwalk founded 164 ”
——that after 217 years your posterity could
let your ashes lie in such a place as that-—
goats and “other cattle” running at large,
not even excepting the pasturage of the ine-
vitable old wlp'tc horse? Or did your ever
contemplate with serious patriotic thought
the “Down Town Burial Ground,” with its
very new and very pale fence, surrounding
those very old atom and slabs, which “Old
Mortality” has preserved from the moss and
mould of time—the place where sleep the
fathers of this old town ‘? Well, I 9UPP05°
it’s not fashionable to care much. for such
things, but strangers who come here do ask
some ugly questions about those homes of
the dead, and some of them appear to have
a very honest and fair appreciation of pub
lic sentiment here. '
Why, sir, I have heard that one of your
citizens, a large-hearted, generous man,” who
leaves his fruits for good on the place
wherever he goes, once offered to invest
for the people of this town $100,000 towards
a cemetery, and because of the littlcness of
their hearts or the blindness that comes of
looking at small things, they could not see it.
“Well, did they not lay out a fine new
cemetery ?” say .you. -
I beg your pardon; they did secure a few -
acres, in which the owners of the lots, with
commendable taste, have made very beauti-
ful places. Loving hands have planted
in that dreary waste many a sweet oasis ;
but who has charge of the avenues and
walks ? Why, the long grass and brambles,
briars and weeds and stones?
I was very much astonished and pained
when I learned that you—you, one of the
leading spirits in improvcntcntin this town,
one of those whose well-directed energy has
done so much to enrich the place, was a
“stockholder" in this new cemttery, and' that
you, with the rest of the liberal (l) stock-
holders, pocketed your dividend, amounting
to two per cent. How came you in such
company? Or, being in, why did you not
take the reins and drive on in your usual
liberal gait? Let me suggest that, if a. bone
mill would pay better, we are not now per-
fectly sure of our dead being undisturbed.
You, I know, can give some light on this
grave subject, and tell us why this place,
which Inight be made so attractive, is suf-
fered to lie in such neglect.
Pleasant marketing it must be with the
money belonging to the homes of our loved
and honored dead!
Not that I will dispute an honest return
for capital expended, but such disgraceful
neglect, such contemptiblc meanness, de-
serve the scorn and contempt of any com-
munity. ' ‘
"Who own the stock? Let us have their
names. .
Let us then exhibit the financial success
of the enterprise, with a photograph of the
ground!
The subject is worthy of Nast in his most
suggestive style.
Yours, A NATIVE.
REPLY—We heroically submit to our
share, as stockholder, in our correspon-
dent’s castigation. We admit all the dis-
graceful neglect of which he complains, nor
can the fact that the cemetery, speculation
was,~ and is very remnnerative, be denied.
The public will bear us witness, however7
that we have worked and written the
subject to utter discouragement and ex-
haustion. When we, saw the “ old
white horse” regularly pasturing on the
“graves of our dear ones,” we took heart,
and thought that here, perhaps, was a
source of revenue open to appropriation for
destroying weeds and subduing brambles.
But these hopes came to naught. If the
pasturage was ever collected (as we presume
it was not), it went to swell the dividends.
Finally, with two or fliree others, we ven-
tured the experiment of getting a stockhold-
er‘s voice and influence. In this all efforts
failed of any systematic and continued care
of the grounds. As the next best thing, we
have taken our dividends, as has one other,
who purchased when we did,and have regu'
larly expended them in keeping one small
but sacred plot in as good condition as pos-
siblc, where so much chaos and disorder
surrounds. We. hope for better things for
both our living and our dead, in the far dis-
tant future.

COMPLIMENTS TO THE “LIBERTY” AND
“ALERT” BASE BALL CLUBS, NORWALK.—
GENTS :—During our attendance upon the
late Base Ball Tournament in your thriving
town, we were the fortunate recipients of
manifold favors at the hands of your liberal
citizens, for which we hereby tender our
most grateful thanks. To the two B. B.
Clubs, individually and collectively, we
must beg to present our kind regards and
esteem. Your numerous nets of kindness
and general courtesy rendered our visit and
games more of an ovation than we could
have anticipated. The nine “Alerts” are
good boys, and will be welcome to Bristol
at their earliest leisure. As to the “Liber~
ties,” you have our lowest b'ow. It was
“pretty thin ;” but we, in the country, you
know, are :tliltlc slow, and hope to im-
prove in playing, so as to give you hotter
work when we are favored with a visit from
you. ' '_
Please often think of your true friends,
THE BRISTOL B. B. CLUB.
A Chance for Improvement.
The vacant land on Main street, opposite
the residence of Mrs. Beers, needs attention.
It is the property of several persons, pur-
chased by them to remove a nuisance. that
formerly existed there.
Will not some of our public-spirited citi-
zens propose to the Town, at its next meet-
ing, to authorize the acceptance of this piece
of property 351a gift to the Town, on condi-
tion_that theTown proceed at once to prop-
erly grade, sod and enclose the lot with
granite curbing, and surround it with a six-
foot sidewalkg. curbed and with paved gut-
ters—the property to revert to the present
owners, should the town neglect to make
the stipulated improvements and to keep
the same initliorough repair? If this propo-
sition is not satisfactory, let the Town pur-
chase the property and at once remove the
trees and grade it for street travel.
One movement or the other is certainly
demanded without delay.

SIDEWALK AND STREET NUISANCES on
route from South Norwalk, by a daily sufi‘er-
er who unfortunately does not own a horse.
—Should such a one as himself gét left by
the horse-cars, the first nuisance experienced
is the muddy road from the depot to Bar-
num’s, without the sign of a crosswalk.
Passing that “Slough of Dcspond" without
getting run over by the Danbury cars or-
somc one of the dashing teams that "always
rush around that corner, we come to the
hole in front of D’Artois’,‘covered now with
spring boards, then on to the cobble stone
and root pavement in front _of Hanford’s,
where, if you catch your toes in the pro-
jecting roots. of the trees, you will [be
likely to be precipitated to the roadway be-
low, a distance'of five or six feet: From
this point there is no raised sidewalk on
either side until you reach the vicinity of
Goo. Smith’s grocery, and from this point
to Mr. James’ house the greatest danger ex-
ists, not from the sidewalk or the road, but
to the health. From some cause, the atmos-
phere in this neighborhood is intolerable,
and should not be borne. Will not some of
those in authority attend to this matter, if
to no other? Yours truly,
