W
CITY CHARTER-
We had supposed it unnecessary to make
through our columns on appeal for our pro-
posed City Charter. 'If unpumshed hur‘
glurles, unprovoked and villainous assaults.
bold and glaring larccnies, attempts at high-
way robbery, the unblushing conflscations
of horse flesh, which are committed in our
streets with each coming forth of the stars ;
are not confirmations strong, as proofs of
holy writ, that we are in great need of a
more practical, ready government in these
villages, we can scarcely hope by argu-
ment, persuasion or abuse to reach the
minds and votes of the citizens of Norwalk.
Moved by the ready comprehension of the
emergencies of the occasion, some of our
public spirited, energetic men secured the
passage through the last session of our Leg-
islature of a City Charter, uniting in its ju—
risdiction the villages of Norwalk and South
N orwalk, and only so much territory aside
as was deemed requisite to render the tract
symmetrical. Realizing full well how can-
tious our people are of accepting any inter—
nal improvements that may affect the pock-
et in the remotest degree, and cherishing an
unwillingness to force upon them a govern'
ment not in consonancc with_ the desires of
a majority of the legal voters to be affected,
they requested the Legislature to grant the
Charter, subject to a popular vote. This
course ‘ was adopfed, and by the appoint-
ment of a duly constituted committee, to-day
(’l‘uesday) is set apart for )the acceptance or
rejection of the Charter. The Charter was
drawn by one of our own citizens conversant
with the provisions proper to be incorpor—
ated therein, afterwards scrutinized by a
committee of our most judicious. and dis-
creet citizens, amended to suit the wishes of
others upon the very eve of its passage, and,
in fine, the single aim has been to render it
as uuohjectionable as possible to those in-
terested in it, and to preclude no one from a
voice therein. We call upon and make an
earnest, heartfelt appeal to all within the
prescribed limits who love good order in
society; who are not so thoroughly wrapped
up in their own selves but they can have an
eye to a suffering neighbor’s necessities;
who, as‘a recompense for the protection and
blessings that accrue from good government,
unreluctantly contribute of their substance
to support the same. We appeal to those
whose cheeks tingle with shame, and who
feel a personal disgrace when they are
brought face to face with the accusation
that there A is no place of the size of
Norwalk in Connecticut where crime is so
rampant, where sin stalks abroad so de-
fiantly at noon-day, and where the guilty so
successfully escape the meshes of the law as
‘11 our town. In short, we appeal to all who
low morality, good order, justice, who strive
for the greatest good to the greatest numa
her, to go to the polls,between the hours of 1
and 4, and cast a ballot for the adoption of
the Charter. It would seem superfluous to
urge any one prosecuting trade in our most
frequented streets, possessing a stock of
goods, even though it_may consist ofwhiskcy
barrels, realizing how un‘substantial and
precarious is the ownership of such chut—
tels, when, without a seeming tinge Of risk
or danger, stores are entered and ransacked
of their contents, when WIHdOW'llghtS and
frames are demolished in early evening,
when fences are mutilated and caricaturcd in
broad daylight—to such persons an appeal
seems unnecessary. You are now utterly
devoid of protection. You who trade in the
borough limits are taxed for a protection you
fail to receive. Think of it, two watchmen
for this village! What are they among so
many scoundrels as are wandering about
our streets,'.{ Will you be bencfitted
by the proposed Charter? Read its
provisions, and if you find it meets your
case, talk with any of the Committee con-
cerning it, vote for it, give it a trial, and if
it fails, repeal it. We appeal as earnestly
tothosc possessed of taxable property, real
estate within the limits, to vote for its. adop-
tion. You are not in active businem Have
you ever been? and if so, haven’t you any
sympathy for those who wish for the pro-
tection you received? You had no City
Charter to protect you; but, good friend,
when you were. in active pursuits, the town
goigermuent afforded all these benefits. .Re—
member that the population has been in—
creasing. We have a class of loafers, harig-
era-on, tramps, &c., that you had not then,
and crime and vice have so extended their
ranges, the property requiring protection
has so accumulated, that the powers then
successfully watching over your intereizts
are now inoperative, and the privileges you
enjoyed our lyusiges; men of today can only
derive thropgh, theCity Charter." Cast aside
yopnselfishness, your illiberality, your no r-
, row-mindedness; smother the feeling that
you are satisfied, and won’t be taxed for the
benefit of other people; sink your ow n
interests in the welfare of the community,
and vote for the Charter.
This taxation is a terrible bstgbear to you.
With those who raise this hue and cry abo ut
taxation, who don’t hold a title-deed to soil
gugagh recover, their dead bodies, we hold
' treatment. For such a man, and there
age. such, in our midst eternally croakin g
about five cents tax, who are assessed sim-
ply a poll-tax, and whine for weeks to ac-
eure the abatement of that, for those we
have no words. But it seems to us that you
who own landed estate in the proposed linu-
its, are short-sighted, even taking your own
illiberal stand-point in voting for the rcje-c-
tion of this charter. Don’t you know if we
have a municipal government here, if our
population increases, as it must do with a
proper respect paid to the protection of
property, your property will raise in value ?
that your increase of taxes will he bread
cast upon the waters, returning to you ere
many days ? Don’t you know that the repu-
tation of the place M good order and safety
remains below par, strangers will not locate
hare,that your property will not be market;-
able ? Haven’t you the utmost desire to
see the prosperity of Norwalk, or don’t you
care a straw what becomes of it, or whether
your property enhances in value, if so be
that you are sure of encugh to take you
through life and give you a splendid funeral
at its close. Norwalk has done something
for you what have you ever done for her 2'
Do you know how much your taxes are to
be increased ? Have you investigated the
subject candidly and comparatively ‘5‘ We
venture to assert that not one of those who
tzflk of this topic have a shadow of positive
knowledge upon this subject. Consult tax—
payers ofother cities in' Connecticut as to
the benefits accruing from this investment
of a few dollars. Would they wish to be
rid of this slight increase of taxation and be _
transferred back to the town or borough sys—
tem ? There is not a city in Connecticut
that would vote to repeal its charter. You.
who reside in the present borough will be
taxed no heavier than now. If you do not
believe it statistics will demonstrate the fact.
Banish then, tax-payers, this bugbear from
your minds, vote for the city charter, and
accept its grateful provisions.
\ a
What will the charter do for us? It will
diminish quarrclling, brawlin g, disturbances
of the public peace in our streets; it will
remove deposits of filth and rubbish that
offend in our streets; it will hush the
shame-faced, liccntious, foul-mothcd talk
that greats the ears of passers by at every
street corner ; it will hustle out of the way
the gatherings of rowdics and rag-tags who
obstruct the sidewalks each evening, insult-
ing ladies and rudely accostiug gentlemen ;
it Will improve our defective side-walks,
construct them where none now exist, ren-
dering it safe to life and limb to step out of
doors after twilight; crect railings along
such walks as the public safety may de-
mand; construct sewers and drains where
they may be necessary to remove the stand-
ing waters from which arise noxious cfilu-
visa and from which proceed chills and fo-
vers and other innumerable ills; it will
grade the surface of our highways and
streets, rendering them passable to an ordi-
narily safe constructed vehicle ; it will hush
up the fiendish shouts and infernal yells
that ring through our avenues to the distur—
bance of all peaceful citizens every night;
in short, it will afford us innumerable privi-
leges and blessings that can in 'no other
way be obtained. One and all then vote
for the charter. Its acceptancemust come,
reject it now and you simply delay its com-
ing, you cannot defeat its sure acceptance
in the future. We appeal to our readers,
one and all, as you believe in good morals,
good order and good government for socie-
ty, as you desire for your own well-being
and the prosperity of your neighbor, to vote
between 1 and 4 o’clock p. m., for the Char-
ter.

PRESIDENTIAL—Since our last, returns
received gives South Carblina and Oregon
both to Grant and Colfax, thus leaving but
seven states for Seymour and Blair.
REDUCTION OF Fauna—The flourish of
trumpets over a “reduction of fares” on the
New York A: New Haven Railroad has re-
sulted only in a sort of equalization of fares
between local stations. Through fares re-
main the same. Nothing but a competing
road will reduce these. The day the people-
of Connecticut send men to the Senate, who
will not swindle them out of their rights, a
new road will be built, and fares then will
drop at least twenty-five per cent, and big
dividends earned at that. Ho, for compe;
tition.
@The Pastor of the Baptist Church
Rev. 0. IV. Gates entered upon the eight
year of his pastorate with that church the
first Sabbath in November. His people as
a token of their appreciation of his faithful-
ness and devotion to the interests of the
church during the past seven years have vo-
ted to give him a three months vacation. He
will spend his vacation in Florida, leaving
sometime in January. We hope this season
of rest and recuperation may result in his
complete restoration.

Another Horse stolen.
The stealing of a horse hereabouts has
come to be asyegular an occurrence as the
picking off of our poor boys on the outer
pickets by rebel sharp shOotcrs during the
war. That“local” talent is engaged in the
nefarious business, is beyond a doubt. A.
gentleman from Stamford, driving up in
front of the Norwalk Hotel, last. Friday
evening, and leaving hishorse but for a mo-
ment, came out to find that. he had been
driven off by a thief. This is the third theft
of the kind within a fortnight. This crime
has now become so common among us as to
render it our dutyto make it common cause.
A public reward of $500 or $1000 for the
apprehension of the thieves should at once
be offered by the authorities in the interest
of our whole people, and the good name
and repute of our town. Every tax payer,
we are sure, would applaud the appropria-
tion, as all must condemn the general and
public indifference while the repeated thefts
are being perpetrated. 1
The above . property was recovered on
Saturday in Bridgeport, and one of the
thieves caught we trust will be properly
punished. .
An attempt was also made, on Friday
night, we understand to steal from Mr. J as.
Sherwood’s barn on Camp street, but be
hearing them went (out with a light which
frightened them off. This wgs unfortunate,
as we learn, that our .special police were
watching the fellows and only waiting for
them to commit the overt act, when they
were prepared to pounce upon them a half
dozen strong and arrest them.

WOur correspondent “P.” will observe
that his favor has been anticipated, in sub-
stance, by another correspondent. He hits
the nail square on the head, however, when
he says that this same spirit “intolerance,”
(which would not receive Miss Dickinson,)
once led men to the scaffold and stake. In
the matter of Miss Dickinson’s lecture, we
would say that personally we have never
been one of her special admirers, and as to
“defence” ot‘ her 'we are quite sure she is
capable and more than willing to attend any
calls in that line herself. We should have
much preferred to have spent an hour in lis-
toning to Phillips, Chapin, Curtis, or a doz-
en others we might name, butv then as a
larger crowd universally come out to greet
a lady lecturer, it is an evidence to our
mind that a majority of those who give in
their support to the Young Men's Lecture
course are not of 'our taste, and so we feel
it our duty out of respect to the majority to».
support our “intolerance.” So long as the
popular taste is so diverse, the true way is
to gratify all as nearly as may be, we claim
that no republican should protest if a promi-
nent democrat in politics is invited to the
stand. Nor should a democrat complain if
a republican thus appear. So in religious
lectures are such as the major part of the
people want to hear, it is the duty of our
long as they essay to monopolize the lecture
business. That’s all.

but moderately propitious. ,
rained all day and so the exhibition was}
crowded over to Friday. There was a su-
perb collection of fine and valuable steeds
and the contests for the premiums spirited
and evidently entertaining to the limited
numbers present from (lay to day, to witness
the performances. We do not know howjt
has resulted in its financial bearings upon
the, Society’s exchequer, but it will not be
—“just as everybody cxpcctcd”—unless the
boys find themselves “stuck" to the tune of
a couple of thousand dollars. We hope it
is otherwise, but like the democrats in the
late election, shall “dread the ifiturns.”
There has been much severe criticism of the
entire affair. It is hard to have to find fault
with your friends at any time, and especial-
ly when those friend act from unselfish and
entirely generous impulses. Yet we have
felt, with scores of others of the oldest and
best friends of our County Agricultural So-
ciety, that injury and not good would result
to that Society, by such an enterprise being ‘
inauguaied and carried forward under its
espousal and endorsement. The result will
confirm all so believing in their first impres-
sions. The object sought, was to relieve the
Society’s treasury from ' embarrassment,
by such a second exhibition as should “put
money in the purse.” .
The fundamental error, we think was in
attaching it to, or in anywisc uniting the two
exhibitions. If a horse trot was the thing,
it would have been more satisfactory to a
major part of the members of the society to
have had an independent association ofgen-
tlemcn “do” the thing for the public and pay
for the use of grounds. We do not learn but
that everything was conducted with as much
propriety, and as satisfactorily as any such
affair could be, where the purely fast horse
element so largely predominates. Certainly
it is, the officers made every exertion in their
power to have all things just and harmo-
nious. We doubt whether there was an
hour of the whole period of the exhibition
that President and Secretaries would not
have paid roundly to have been released
from their trying and exacting labors and
responsibilities. A large number of entries
had been made, and there was no lack of
horse racing, while the usual auxiliaries of
a horse show were not wanting. Betting, to
say the least, was very freely indulged in,
and money changed hands constantly, and
to a casual observer it seemed as if the trials
of speed were simply for the purpose of de-
ciding bets. The learned hog attracted his
full share of attention, and a nondescript an-
imal, part buffalo part horse, was duly wou-
dered over, &c., .
TUESDAY opened drizzly and unpleasant
and continued so all day, nevertheless the
Fair opened prOmptly and racing commenc-
ed. The first race was for all trotting Stal-
lions that have never trotted better than
three minutes, mile beats, best three in five
to harness ; $100 to first, $50 to 2d, $25 to
3d, Three entries J. W. Cushing, New

Canaan, young Rattler, Jr. W'on by Dick-
erman, last heat, 2.55%, Jimmie second.
SECOND RACE—For all horses that never
trotted better than 2.40, mile heats, best
to 2d; $100 to 3d. Nine entries, but only
five started, as follows ;——-\‘V. W. Raymond,
Danhury, bk. g John C. Hccnan ; F. J. NO-
dine, Brooklyn, Eastern Queen ; W. B.
Smith, Hartford, Johnny Reb ; Dan Mace,
New York, Louisa ; Ben Mace, New Jersey
Brooklyn Boy. First prize taken by Smith’s
Johnny Reb, which broke every time, and
made the race all the more exciting and un-
certain ; Eastern Queen, 2d ; Brooklyn Boy
3d ; Hecnan 4th.
Wednesday was stormy all day long, pre-
venting all races. Thursday was rather cold
and blustering, but clear, and the Fair was
resumed. Class 8, double teams, mile heats,
best three in five, to harness, driven by the
owners; $100 to lst; $50 to 2d; $25 to 3d.
Seven entries, but T. J. Coe’s, J. L. Hopkins’,
and John Mance’s were all that appeared.
Won by Manee, but he was excluded as a
“professional”, and Coc received the prize.
Class 9, for all horses that never trotted for
money, mile heats, best two in three to road
Wagons—professional drivers‘excluded ; $150
premium won by Frank Taylor, of Bridge-
port. Time 3.07%, 2.52 and 2.58.

Gelding, time 1.56. \ . '
Class 11, for all horses that never trotted
better'than 2.50; mile heats, best three in
five, to harness; $200 to Ist, $125 to 2d,
$75 to 3d. Eight entries but only four start-
ed. Nodine’s Eastern Queen won the 1st
prize, Dan Mace’s Prince the 2d, and Dick-
erman’s the 3rd. Best time 2.41,first heat.
Class 10, for all horses that never trotted
better than 2.34; mile heats, best three in
five to harness; $400 to lst,$200 to 2nd,
$100 to 3rd. Eight entries. During the sec-
ond heat a collision occurred, resulting in
a runaway by Norris Holcomb’s “ Jack
Lewis.” Seven times he ran around the
track and no one could stop him, until final-
ly Mr. L. L. Allen, Jr., on one of his fast
horses, came up with him and checked his
mad career. Two heats only run, both won
by Dan. Mace’s Twang, in 2.41, when dark-
ness came on and further trotting was put
off to Friday. ' '
anaxlwas another clear day. The first
exhibition was Class 4. In this class, Dick
erman of New Haven, took the first pre-
mium, Plait, of Stratford, the second, and
A bbott, of Danbury, the third.
Then the third heat of the 2,34’5, put
over from Thursday, was run, and won by
Dan Macc’s Twang.

not lecture this year in the course of the
Young Men’s Christian Association of Nor-
walk owing to objections made “by certain
old ladies in pantaloons, who were too ner-
vous to have her appear again under the
ion you are in error- Public lecturers are
to a great extent public teachers, and with a
acter, opinions and influence of the lecturer
are indissolubly connected. The Young
‘Men’s Christian Association of Norwalk
was organized to sustain and further by all
practical means evangelical religion ; to
provide a free reading room and a library
especially for the use of young men, and as
stated in the Constitution of the Society, to
throw about young men a network of so-
ridicules and sueers at beliefs and relations
hold sacred. A single example, in her lec-
ture in Norwalk last season, she remarked,
my most unmitigated pity, those who are mar-
ried and those who expect to be married.
Now, no one objects to Miss Dickinson’s
esteeming the unmarried state to be one of
great bliss, certainly she has a right to her
opinion, but there 'is an objection to ridicu-
ling and making‘light, in a public lecture,
e-a didactic lecture to a great extent—01‘s.
relation which the Father of the universe
created and endorsed. In her lecture, in-
deed, she states many truths and noble sen-
timents, still we deem the general tenor of
her lecture to be pernicious and calculated
to oppose the great objects of a Christian
Association. We have to do with her senti-'
ments, not with the questionas to whether
1807 she appeared before many Y. M. C.
Associations, but at that time her influence
place endeavor to
secure first-class lecturers of varying opin- '
society to provide lecturers who oppose its
fundamental principles—the upholding of
christianity. Surely this is not illiberality.
