WASHINGTON, Feb. 9th, 1869.
Dan Gmm:—The exciting scenes in
the House of Representatives this week vi-
vidly recall those of nine years ago, when
the writer saw. the galleries crowded with
the mad cohorts of rebellion who, with
bowie-knife and revolver protruding from
their pockets, aided with the best efforts of
their lungs their allies on the floor in pro-
moting turbulenccand revolution. On one
occasion, then, when it was proposed that
the galleries be cleared out, the defiant
shout came howling back, “ Clear out your-
selves, you d—d black Republicans, or we
will cleqn you out i” The epitome of that
madness is written in blood all over this
fair land, in taxation and distress; in groans
and tears; in mutilation and health dei
strayed; in widowhood and orphanage; in
near ahalf million of graves! God palsy
the tongue that shall ever again invoke the
- fearfiil; terrors of resistance to constituted
law‘and authority. ‘ .
While Wednesday’s performances in the
House recalled the early scenes' of the great
rebellion, it was yet entirely dissimilar. On
this occasion the attempted resistance to law
and order was confined exclusively to the
floor of Congress _! ' Although' turbulent its
spirit, and for a few moments threatening
violence, when Colfax seized the gavel from
the hands of Old Ben Wade, and with the
authority ofpresldingofiicer of the House
ordered the constabtilary, force to amet
every violator of its order, the cowards who
had provoked the tumult and put this stain ’
upon the face of Liberty, slunk to theirIacIats
and quiet was again restored. It but adds
to the universal condemnation that this row
'was inaugurated by a member of the .Re-'
publican party.‘ Had he been a Democrat,
as formerly, ewe should have pronounced
his conductdicgraccful to the last degree.
That he is temporarily afiiliated with the’
Republicans, shall not alter our judgment.
It is the verdict of every Republican jour-'
nalist we have met, that Benjamin F. But-
ler, on Wednesday last, ofi‘ercd an unparaly
lcled insult to the nation and perpetrated a
disgrace which eclipses the' inebriety of An-
drew Johnson’s inauguration. Party rc—
sponsibilities are obliterated by such a-
transaction, and our cause can no more be
' made to suffer for it than can the democra-
cy, because many of its leaders seized upon
the occasion to gain a partisan advantage.
The records show that the best men of the
opposition condemn the disgraceful pro-
ceeding, while the time of the. House has
been almost exclusively occupied in the de-
livery of the severest denunciations byleadg portentious “slide” comes crushing down
ing Republicans. The ebb, and surpassingly
eloquent speech of Judge Bingham- of Ohio,
carries us back to the days of Wirt, Cal-
houn, Clay, Haync and Webster. , In man-
ner, as well as rhetoric. it was fearful in its
invective. Severe indeed is the reproof of
a friend. ‘ Let it be hoped that the mortify-
jug defeat of the wily Massachusetts mem-
ber will teach him more prudence and bet-
ter manners in the future. Mr. Shellabarger
of Ohio, opened the debate on Thursday.
Feeblc in health, he is yet the clearest-
headed lawyer in the House. He clearly
proved Mr. Wade entirely right and Butler
entirely wrong on the question of law.
. Venerable Frank Thomas, the last remain-
ing representative of loyalty from Mary-
land, followed and gave an interesting ac-
count of similar circumstances thirty-three
years ago, when he, as. one of the tellers in
a count of electoral votes, was one of the;
principal actors. He demonstrated that Mr.‘7
Wade would have been liable to the cert:
sure of Congress if he had pursued any,
course other than he did pursue. In the
course of his remarks with reference to the‘
count of the vote of Michigan, in 1885, he
alluded to John C. Calhoun as' the mischief-
maker of that-daflglenvin‘g the implica’iion
that Butler was the; “ mischief-makcr of'our'.
day. The hit w'as received-withjan accord;
ing smile all over the House: Judge Wood-7
ward of Pennsylvania also severely de-E
nounced Butler’s transaction. He was fol-
lowed by IBiIngham, who made one of his
most scathing speeches, "cutting Butler to
the bone. He charged him with being a re-
volutionist, and his performance calculated
to create anarchy and bloodshed. As this
was by far the most withering and: impas-
sivcd speech made, the obduraie Butler re-
plied “ that he always did like that speech
of Bingham‘s,’1 neglecting to state, however,
that .i‘. was Thad. Stevens1 joke. Garfield
also filed in, summing up his condemnation
in the charge that Butler was like unto" an-
other who had “ rather rule in hell than
serve in heaven." Gen..Schenck denounced
the disgraceful uproar of the day before,
but claimed there was a question of right:
involved in .Butler’g position. And so on,l
to thiapresent writing, the House - has been
engrossed by debate upon this transaction.
The passage of- the constitutional amend-é
ment securing impartial sufi‘rage, the declar-3
ation of tbegelection . of Grant and Colfax
by the Congress .of the United States, and
other matters of- grave moment have been =
lost sight of in the prevailing excitement. '
Eight years ago, John C.’ Breckenridge,
presiding over a convention similar to this,
which has caused a blush of shame to man-
tie the cheeks of all, declared Abraham Lin-'
coin and Hannibal Hamlin President and.
Vice-President of the United States. Before
him sat Andrew Johnson and Stephen A.
Douglas. But now how. changed—the lat:
ter dead, and the -forlner—-dcad—dead !.

' inauguration.
Grant was then a plain leather merchant at
Galena, scarce knowing or known to his
that long school of arms wh'erein, without
pretense, speech-making or repining,he was
destined to fight his way through to the high-
est'civil positiondn' the land. How myste-
rious the workings of Providence; the his-
tories of individuals and of nations.
Last evening Speaker Colfax gave one of
his enjoyable receptions, visited always by
the residentIelite and all visitors from afar.
' Tuesday evening “A. J.” opens the White
House for a similar company, where the
poor man will be ravished by a jam of
those who despise him. The inauguration,
ball, at the Treasury Department, is the sen-
sation among the young and giddy. A
“ dance ” upon those granite iloors will be
about equal to the grand “ supper” in the
narrow corridors. Grant deserved the credit
of having done all he could to discourage
the folly. And yet, while he detests all show
and parade and hates. “ gab,” he enjoys the
social life of the Capital. One of the most
delightful gatherings this seanon is admitted
to be a party given by the General and Mrs.
Grant to the little children here.
Senator Pcmcroy has championed the wo-
men’s rights interests and has presented
their address to the Senate. Thcrctseems to
be a good {deal of “unpleasantness” and
uneasiness among the ladies of a certain .or
uncertain age. It may- intercst our medical
friends to know that Congress is about to
publish the illustrated report and compila-
tions of the Surgeon General; specimen
copies of which were distributedto a limited
extent some-time since. There\arc nearly
two hundred nominations before the Senate,
but none will be confirmed till after Grant‘s
No appointmenta,,changes

River bridging -bill. Senator Dixon is
blamed by its enemies that he did not get it
vetoed, as he easily could have done, had
he wished, while Senator Ferry is praised
for his faithful championship of the meas-
ure. Representative Starkweather haa got
.an appropriation of $10,000 for the New
London harbor preparatory to navy yard
operations there. What a pity it is that,
with three Democratic members, the “ faith-
on" at' home could not have secured,
through them, as much for Norwalk. Gov-
ernor Buckingham and Marshal 'Jewell are
here. Governor Buckingham has invested
$32,000 in a fincrcsidencc on Fifteenth
street, nearthc residence of Senator Mor-
gan. We presume thissignifies hospitable
receptions for friends from Connecticut.
The Commissioner of Agriculture com-
plains that he is importuned for seeds and
plants that he is unable to- send out. ‘The
best/thing Congress can do would be to
abolish the whole abomination, and save
the million and more dollars the _humbug
costs our tax-payers. To illustrate: every
copy of the Agricultural Reports costs the
treasury about sateen dollars. we have
never seen one yet that we considered of
the practical value to any farmer of an-‘ ave-
rage agricultural journal. We confidently
look'for reform in this and other matters of
national extravagance from and after the
4th of March. . ' ’ - . - _-

fall. ' - . B.
Accident on the Dn'nlsury &_ Norwalk
Railroad. . ‘
f The 11 o’clock up freight train on the
Danbury & Norwalk Railroad, met with a
serious accident on Saturday,’by- the giving
away’of a pier of the bridges about three
fourths of a mile below Danbury, by which
two loaded fi'eight cars were precipitated
into the stream, and a third-partially so.
the track but did not run off the bridge.
One of the cars was broken in two, and the
other badly damaged, but as the water in
the river. is shots] at that point but little in-
jury was done to the freight. The Locomo-
tive is somewhat damaged but not seriously,
and. it is expected that the bridge will
be repaired so that trains will, run? over it
this Tuesday afternoon. Until then the
passengers will have to change cars at the
bridge and the freight carted to and from
that point. The giving away of the pier
was doubtless caused by the great body of
water from the Kohanza dams, which re-‘
cently gave way, undermining it, though
no indications of weakness had been shown,
owing probably to the large amo'unt of
sand and gravel that was deposited around
it at that time. ‘A brakeman named George
”Hickson, was considerably injured about
the head and chest, but we learn to—day
that he will probably be out again in a few
days.

does violence also to his own youthful sport-

on Monday evening of last week was large-

credit of the district we are rejciced to state
that the motion to sell off the front grounds
received but one, vote—that of the mover.
The attendance at this school is now so
large that the District is forced to provide
more room for the accommodation of the
scholars, and the project of enlarging the
building, and the manner of so doing, is
now under consideration. The people of
the district have given evidence, time and

are determined .tomake it equal at least, to
that of iany similar district, and in the mate
for of enlargement we are satisfied that no

about the beauty of our town and the “ en-

is rather too much for us, and we are com-
pelled to dry up until the mud does. With
skating ponds in our streets, mud over ankle
deep on our best sidewalks, (aside from'those
in front of the stores,-—-and we do not boast
very much of these,) crosswalks nowhere,
and colds and chills and fever in our houses,
we certainly cannot congratulate ourselves
upon the public spirit of the tovvn. We

decent name among the sister towns, and
our citizens walk dry shod to and from their
places ofbusiness? . Cbncrcte walks should
be laid on all. our streets _ within a mile of
the bridge, crosswalks should be laid wher-
ever needed, and all of our, public streets
should be properly drained, anduntil these
things are done we must personally suffer

sible ignorance, its extremes of morality and
immorality, it stands as the greatest expo-
nent and epitome of Western character.
Chicago’. history is brief but unprecedented '
Thirty-five years have served, in her mar-
vellous history, to furnish the - grandest ex-
ample of man’s untiring energy that the an"
nals of this or any other nation afford. In
1833,. 8 trading post, whose occupants num-
bered less than a hundred souls, to-day a
gigantic city teeming with over a quarter of
a million inhabitants. The treasured charms
of tradition’s greatest marvels pale before
this mighty achievement.‘ Thither induced
by the rich rewards of industry, flows capi-
tal and enterprise. Where, thirty years ago,
the shrill war whoop of the ‘Indian echoed
along the shores of Lake Michigan, to-day
is. the surging rush of a prosperous, DOPulu‘
tion urged on by the power of a giant and
never ceasing activity. I believe it was
Rosseau who said that “ that the greatest —
charm of one Of Italia’s most beautiful cities
was the charity of its' citizens; that each
onOCarricd about within him an anvil upon
which conscience was constantly striking,
reminding him of his duty to his follows.”
A simile if'no‘t‘ as poetic, yet quite as apt,
might be applied to the inhabitants of this
busy cityi that every one carries in his body
a'locomotive possessing a selfigenerating and
exhaustless power ever impelling him on at
a high rate of speed. I wish it had been
within'my experience to carry you back
thirty years to the solitary block house of
Fort Dearborn standing isolated upon the
shores of the great inland ocean of America
whose waters were only known to the canoe
and paddle of the “red man,” and when
the streets of the embryo city, destitute oh
Nicholson or McAdam, lay floundering and
buried beneath the sloughs and sluices of
the uutraversed prairies, and opening the
horoscope of the future; could place in. view
the gigantic fruits of these marvellous thirty
years. Welshould find that thefi'uits which
have come with them only-come with age
and experience. Hitherto men have toiled
for generations in the rough school of ad-
versity before they have been permitted to
leave the wilderness in which all were com-
pellcd to‘ have their “ forty years.” Now,
and here one single. generation has furnished
an instance, as yet itself its .only parallel,
whichhas reversed the old regime and com-
menced a new era of development. .
Unlike everything in nature or art, Chi
cago has had nogrowth. It sprung into ex-
istence, like Minerva, full armed and equip-
ped, think!“ the magical wand of civili-
zation was moved over it. The elements of.
greatness that slumbered here through all
the ages, at the chosen time concentrated,
broke the spell that bound them, and Chi-
cago stood forth a fixed reality, full fledged
at its birth. Its "very infantile prattle fell
mature and majestic, and its, swaddling
clothes were not the delicate ,tracery of ba-
byhood, but the coarse and strongly woven
homespun of manhood. Everything in the
city betokens such a birth and is on .a scale
' befitting such a history. Nowhere does the
untiring power of. steam,-wiih-all' its mUlti-
farious appliances; toil as labor workshops.
Nowhere does the incessant clang of ham-
mers smite the car as here. In noother city
of the continent does such a restless activity
pervade the busy crowds ofImen engaged in
the pursuit of trade, and nowhere has-cul-
ture and refinement kept such - pace with
materilil prosperity. ‘ ‘I,
The railroad system of Chicago is unri-
valed, interlacing and spreadingover all our
Western prairies and bringing to her granai
ries andwharves the rich and exhaustless
products of every Northwestern and West-
ern State, and soon to cut through the rocks
sparkling with silver and - gold, terminating
only on the shores of the for Pacific, and
solving the problem that has vexed Chris-
tendom since the fifteenth century—the dis-
covery of a westemg'passage to the 'East In-
dies. ' Nor has the increase in her commerce
fallen a' whit bgh'ind. The first cargo of
. wheat shipped from Chicago was just thirty
years ago, in a forty-two ton schooner. To-
day, instead of_ the solitary sail, the waters
of Lake Michigan are white with ‘her fleets
and the produce conveyed amounts to hun-
dreds bf millions of bushels. ‘ Her manufac-
tories, too, are daily accumulating, and with
her insatiable thirst for everything, it will
not be long ere _ she strips from New Eng-
land hcr boasted glory and step forth inde-
pendent, the cmbodiment of American en-
.J.Emfise.anmmwmmamri:“
can city, the admiration of the world. Be-
.fore' leaving maternal Chicago I must say
something‘of the grandeur and syntmetrical
beauty of her architectural and the spacious
elegance of her avenues. In this respect too
as in all others this city stands unique and
alone. If we trace the history of the science
of architecture from the humble tents of the
patriarchs to the palatial residence of the
present day. This fact stands out apparent,
that all great ‘cities have been so busied with
the vast cares of their maturing that during
the-first hundred years of their history they
have had neither the resource nor ,the time
for! the display of the beautiful and om'a-
mental. Chicago has not confined herself to
the useful alone. The genius of architecture
was also present at her birth, and side by
side, influencing and 'inflenced, business and
art have made equal strides. -Onr order of
architecture, although _;not- “nursedby the
centuries,” nor challenging comparisonwith
. the colossol cathedrals and gorgeous palaces
of continental Europe, does challenge in
simple elegance and tasteful, modest orna-
mentation any city in American. Private
, residences of this kind are not few and scat-
tered, but in every part of . the city, on oil the
avenuesiotver lofty “il'onts” coming square;
ly to the street, or nestle delightfully among
the 'shrubbery', exquisite and dainty little

Eva. Gunm.—-In your last two papers
you have given certain quotations in which
there is an evident effort made by the writer
to cast a slut-I on this growing place, and'the
impression exists here that the articles come
from that ancient village known as the Old
Well, whose pcOple are quite envious at our
rapid growth, and desire it maybe checked.
as they perhaps justly fear that ere many
years we shall .throw them in the shade.
Now the people here are not envious, al-
though we have. Banks that will shell-out
to any one who will make the requisite ap-
plication. As we have a telegraph line we
occasionally hear in this way from the envi-
ous village, and some recent ones indicate,
to say the least, a tight niOneymat-kct'in

- 4th Congressional District.
We give below the comments of various
journals concerning Candidates likely to be
supported before our approaching congres-
sional convention. It is our purpose to re-
publish in these columns whatever we find
concerning any one of them. “Fairplay and
no favor," being odl‘ motto. '

Although Mr; Byington, Editor of the Nor-
walk Gazette, is a candidate for Congress,
yet as he is pursuing the very honorable
course of printingin his paper, all the com-
ments and suggestions of' other papers on
the subject and has therefore published our
article, in full, commending Mr. Beardsle
for that office, we reciprocate the comp]:-
ment by copying from the Gazette the fol-
lowing-I extracIts from IIIoiher popcrs. * -
Now the above is first rate, Friend Bying-
ton would make a good member of Con;
gress, but thcn’he is also a capital editor,
and as good editors are scarce, it is not
good policy to send them out of the district,
and we, therefore, go. for Mr. Beardsley,
whose qualifications for that office are con-
ceded by all, and disputed by none.
From the Maiden Recorder.
Our friends in the Fourth Congressional
district are purposing to honor themselves
and do the state and the country as si a1
service, b nominating and electing to on-
grcss, A. omer Byington, the enial and
"wide-awake editor oi the Norwa k Gazette,
and whilom of Grecley’s Tribune, and of Da-
na’s Sun. The Republicans of the Fourth
will go fnr‘and look long before they will
find another who is so truly a representa-
tive man. -
From the New York Evening Press.
A. Homer Byington, Esq., of Norwalk, is
likely to receive the Republican nomination
for Congress in the‘ Fourth district of Con-
necticut. Mr. Byington was the competitor
of P. T. Barnum for the nomination two
years ago, and it is behaved that if at that
time he had been nominated, he would have
carried the district. Mr. Byington is editor
and one of the proprietors of the N orwalk
Gazette. He began his career as a journalist
in the office of the Gmeygjlmkm a- case
Miran old. Atnine-
teen he owned the paper, and still .contin-
use to be one of its proprietors. During
the war he was correspondent of the Tnl
buns. He was the first to suggest to Mr.
Dana his
York, ' as rst announced, and has been,
publisher of the Sun for the year it has been
under Mr. Dana’s management. He is now
engaged in Norwalk.
Mr. Byington is a‘ more of great energy,
perfectly familiar with public affairs, and
Washington is just- the place for him. '
From the Danbury .kfersmt'an.
' The Congressional Convention. ’
As the time approaches for the meeting of
the Republican Convention to nominate a
candidate for Congress from this District,
much interest is manifested in the result,
and an earnest canvass seems to be progress-
ing on the part of the friends of some of the
candidates.
We have already stated our preference for
our own townsman, Gov. Averill, and it
needs but little foresight to foretell that he
will be a' very prominent candidate before
the ConventiOn. He is well and favorably
known, not only in this Congressional .Dis-
trict, but also throughout the» State, and is
highly esteemed by'a lar e circle: of warm
friends for his many exec lent qualities, and
has the goodwill of all with whom hispub-
lic duties have brought him in contact, his
litical opponents as well as friends. He
is in every respect well qualified to fill the
position of member 'of Congress, and if nom-
inated and elected, we may rest assured that
the interests of his constituents will be safe-
ly intrusted- in his hands. I.A Democrat be-
fore the war, :when ,the fire was opened up-
on Fort :Sumpter‘, he broke from his party
,as did thousands of others throughout the
country ;—was .the first man to raise" the
stars and» stripes inpuptown, and has re»-
mained firm‘ in‘his adherence to the princi-
ples of the Union Republican Party ever
, We do not wish to disparage the claims
'of any other Candidates mentioned for the
calm partition.” The tire candidates named
from the loWer part of the county are, for
suvht we know, good men and would 'not
dis onor their constituents. But, we. are
willing to say all this of them',and yet main-
tain that in our opinion, Gov. Averillwould
be as good, iant a‘ better man, for the
place. and Wouldhe .eqnalllv- acceptable to
the-people ofthisdistricu -; ",2; .
On the’ ground of locality, which some;
times should haves little Weight, we think-
nomination provided we present as accepta-
fvbla'f‘a candidate as any-other: It, is nearly
40' years since we;hav_e.ghad a member of
Congress,-from this vicinity; the lower part
of the County always carrying off the prize
whenever an opportunity. presenwd itself.
Now is the time for ourfn'ends throughout
the District to do justice to us, and
themselves; by Uniting with us in Securing-
the nomination of Gov. Averill: .j
:We hope; the Convention- will .act with
wisdom in making its choice, and although
whoevcris. nominated will bestipported by
all, Republicans, and. triumphantlyslccted.

All diseases successfully treated by letter.
. Schenck’s Pninsonic Syrup,
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills will cure Con-
sumption, Liver Complaint and D olsia, if taken
according to directions. They are a t ree to be ta-
ken at the same time. They cleanse lie stomach. re-
lax the liver and putrit to worktzthen the appetite
becomes good; the food digests and makes good
blood; the patient begins to grow in lfiesh; the dis.
eased matter ripens in the lungs. and the patient out-
grows the disease and gets well. This is the' only
way to cure consumption.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the treat-
ment of pulmonary Consumption. The Pulmonic
Svrup ripens the morbid matter in the lungs, nature
throws it off by an easy expectoration, for when the
phlegm or matter isripe a slight cou h will throw it
‘ oil, and the patient has rest and the ungs begin to
eal. .
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills
must be freely used to ciease the stomacn' and liver,
so that the Pulmouic Syrup and the food will make
good blood. ’ . ‘ ‘:
Scheuck’s Mandrafifills act upon the liver, re-
movin-all obstructi , relax the ducts of the gall
bladder, the bile starts freely,and the liver is soon re-
lieved; the stools will show what the Pills can do:
nothing has ever .been. invented except calomel (a
deadly poison which is very dangerous to use unless
with rest care,)that will unlock the all bladder and
stnrtt c secretionsof the liver like hencir’s Man-
drake Pills. - - '
Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
causes of Consumption. .
Schenck’s Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and
alternative, and the alkali in the Seaweed, which this
preparation is made of, assists the stomach to throw
out the gastricjuice to dissolve the food with the Pul-
monic,Syrup, and it is made into good blood without
fermentation or scoring in the stomach.
The great reason why physicians do not cure Con-
sumption is, they try to do too much; they give med-
icine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to stc night
sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing they erange
the whole digestive powers, lockiugup the secretions
and eventuafiy the patient sinks and dies.
Dr, Schenck, in his treatment, does not try to stop
the cough night sweats, chills or fever. Remove the
cause, an they will all stop of their own accord. No
one can be cured of Consumption, Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Canker, Ulcerated Throat, un-
less the liver and stomach are made healthy.
If a person has consumption, of course the lungs in .
some way are diseased, either tubercles, abscesses.
bronchial irritation, pleura, adhesion, or the inn 5
are a mass of in tion and fast decaying. n ,
such cases whatmust be done..1eis'not only the an s 1
that are wasting—but'rr’is the whole body. T e
staunch and liver have lost their power to make
Dr. Schenck’s three medicines, which will bring up a
food, it will di est ensil and make good blood; then
the patient beg. us to g in flash, and as soon as the
body begins to grow, the lungs commence to heal u ,
and the patient gets fleshy and well. This is the on y‘
. way to cure consumption. _
When there is no lun disease and only Liver Com-
laint and Dyspepsia, henck’s Seaweed Tonic andi
iandrnke Pills are sufilclent, Without the Pulmonic
Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all bil-
ious complaints, as they are perfectly harmless.
Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted health
for many years past, and ,now. weighs 225 poun ds.
was wasted away to a inere skeleton in the very last;
stage of Pulmonary Consumption, his physicians pro'-_.
nounced his ”case hopeless and abandoned him to his
fate. He was cured bv the aforesaid medicines, and
since his recovery many thousands ‘similary atlllcted'
