Grmt’a Inaugural.
The Inaugural Address of Gen. Grant is
a model state paper. SO totally destitute is
it of all the graces and arts of the rhetoric-
ian, that it actually challenges admiration
for its unerring directness, and frank, blunt,
saxon diction.‘ No. sentence or line is capa-
ble of being wrung into. but one meaning
and that the meaning its author intended.
Among the toiling masses of our common
people, it will be read with great delight,
because it is to the point and cannot fail to
be understood by everybody. He expresses
more in ten lines than most public men in
ten columns. Take as a sample his exhaust-
ive treatment of the" Executive’s duty of
administering the laws though be personal-
ly may not like them. Also the financial
and sufi‘rag‘e' questions. To condense our
criticism, we should say it is so rut-lawyer-
.like, and so direct and soldier-like.
m
General Grut’s (artist. .
The Cabinet nominated by President
Grant, and immediately confirmed "by the
Senate, is composed as follows :
State—Emmi B. Wasnnmum, Illinois. .
Treasury—ALEXANDER TURN‘EY S'rnw-
ART, New York.
Interior—JACOB DOLSON Cox, Ohio.-
Naw—ADOLPII Bouts, Pennsylvania.
War—No nomination. '
Post Ofice—Jorm A. J. CRESSWELL, Mary-
land.
.3 Attorney GemmL—EDWARD ROCKWOOD
HOAR, Massachusetts.
The impression caused by this cabinet
throughout the country may be summed up
in the one expressive ‘word " mixed.”
Among professional politicians, did not
their surprise betoken such a depth Of sor-
row, we might say “comical.” It is so op-
posed to all the sage guessings of the wise-
acres and so unlike anything which has
“been before,” that it naturally challenges
criticism’of the friendly and unfriendly sort.
We judgc,‘however, that the people of the
country will overwhelmingly approve the
President’s selections upon the general
ground of entire confidence in his honest
sincerity and good judgment.
In the selection of Mr. Washburne, for the
first place, Gen. Grant but vindicates a feel-
in g of‘ truest friendship for‘the man to whom,
more than to any other human .being, he is
himself indebted for his own ' elevation.
But aside from this exhibition of gratitude,
most creditable alike to his head and heart,
Gen. Grant has done the country a signal
service by this recognition. We only hope
Mr. Walhburne’s health may not be so
shattered by public service already render-
ed as to cause him to decline the proffered
h‘Onor. 'Nb‘public man has ever home so
conspicuous a part in .the counsels of the
nation, in fighting treasury thieves and con-
gressional robbers. Times out. .of number
have we witnessed him, amid the taunts
and sneers of members interested in some
scandalous “job,” spring to his feet and
with heroic fortitude and persistence fight
, the appropriation 'down. Millionsof dollars
have been saved the tax payers of the
"country by this one “noblest work of God."
Long may be live to serve his country and
protect her honor and maintain her purity
and integrity. , . _ _
Mr. A. T. Stewart, at this writing is. ex-
pected to; give way . on ’ account of
legal disabilities and the Treasm'y port-fo-
lio to fall into the hands of Ex-Gov. Bout-
wcll of Mass. Mr. Stewart has amassed" a-
collossal fortune in mercantile life, and his
powers of organization and economy of ad-
ministration would no doubt have strength—
encd our government finances, still it may
be seriously doubted whether he would be
the right man in the right place. Of Gov.
Boutwcll, both in character and capability,
the most confident hopes of a successful ad-
minislation may be entertained. -
Gen. Cox, of Ohio, is a fair minded man
a reputable soldier and creditable Governor
of Ohio, but not particulary noted inpublic
life. .There is full work for an honest man
in the Interibr Department. ; . -
Mr. Borio.is said to be a‘ retired merchant
ofPhiladelpbis, of high character and cred-
itable business qualification. Less is known
of him than concerning any othcr member
of the new administration. ‘ ' '
Gen.” Schofield temporarily retains the
War office. It is statedthat Gen. stlins
has been‘urged its acceptance, but declines
from considerations of failing health; _ ‘
Ex-Senator Cresswell of Maryland, to‘ be
Post Master General", is one of the most sate
iafactory appointments that could hav been
made. An ardent Union Republican and
bosom friend of Winter Davis, the state of
Maryland and the whole country have rea-
son for thankfulness that though his state is
given over to c'opperhesd' domination, it has
such a representative manta devote to the
public service. , '
Judge Hoar of Massachusetts, is a gentle-
man of high personal character, and an am.
this lawyer, but in the event of Gov.
Boutwcll entering the cabinet, "will very
likely give way to Judge Pierrspont of NY.

Convontlo-a this week.
The present week, we' believe, closes up
political party in this county. The Demo-
cratic County Convention meets here on
Wednesday, and Senatorial Convention on
Thursday. Our own Sherifi'alty Conven-
tion convenes at Bridgeport, on Thursday,
the 11th. Another week and we shall have
all our men in position and in readiness, “to
move immediately upon the enemies works.”
We understand that Mr. T. H. Morison de-
clines the use Of his name in connection with
being a candidate for the democratic nomi-
nation of State Senator.

WW6 hear the name .of' Hon. Roger
for Senator in the 11th District. Better
hold him for Representative. His election

claim. ' .

WThe Congressional canvass in the 2d

may the -democrats openly charge among
themselves that $2,000 were paid for the ONE
safe by which he received his nomination.

«so——

approaching, and the time is at hand for
registering names of new voters. NO man
can vote whose name is not on the list. See

o
WWilliam D. Gregory, Esq, of Wilton,
sions in the lower house of the Legislature,
would have undoubtedly been' nominated
for Senator at the convention held last
Wednesday, had he notpcremtorily declined
the use of his name in the earlier stages of
the canvass for candidates. Calvin Childs,
Esq., 9f Stamford, was a formidable com-
petitor for the nomination. His conceded
ability and ’personal worth will rapidly ad-
vance him to the forefront at the Bar and in
the politics of this county. But he 'must
help us get this new railroad (which the
people so unanimously demand and will have)
secured and out of the way, before he can
hope for success as a candidate.
m .
A Grand Present to Gen. Shaman;
. On Wednesday last, Mr. A. T. Stewart
and other wealthy citizens of New York,
accompanied by Mr. Alfred M. Hoyt of this
place, waited upon Gen. Grant at his head-
quarters in Washington, and consummated
the purchase of his late residence, giving
him therefor a check for $65,000. Gen.
Sherman was then called' in and formally
presented with the deed of thc‘place and
bill of sale of the furniture, &c., and was
informed that the balance of“ $100,000 which
had been subscribed would be paid to him
7 in a few days. 'The General had been mak-.
ing modest preparations for commencing
WashingtOn life in accordance with his in-
come, nodes can easily be imagined, was
very gratified for this magnificent gift.

W Among those retiring to the shades
of private life and who have home a con-
spicuous‘part in the govermental history of
the past eight years, few if any,- will per-
haps challenge a less frequent thought, than
our own‘ MnWells; of the Navy department.
And yet so far as his executive duties were
concerned, none of the President‘s ministers
were more faithful to their conneétions of
duty, and the‘defails of the Navy Depart-
ment will show a care and ability of admin-
istration, not surpassed in any other. In-
deed most of the criticisms upon this de-
partment have been uttered in a half jocular
vein, provoked more by the peculiarities of
person, of the naval secretary, than on so 4
' count of any errors of his judgemgnt or
maladminisiratiOn of his duties. And when
it comes to his,Oflicial Reporth and corre-
spondence, no secretary of' the present or
last decade can approach him in clear, suc-
cint utterances and terse yet'elegant diction.
A directness acquired no doubt in his long
experience as an editor. Friend or foe alike
must concede this much without debate. In
his assistant secretary Mr. Faxon, also, the
secretary and the nation have abundant rea-
son for congratulations. Clear headed, prac-
tical and of untiring industry, he has left
the impress of his fidelity and capability as
a fortunate legacy to his successor. We are
glad to observe that he returns to Connecti-
cut. ' ‘
Branch load to Bldgollcld.
NE * Room.—The "construction of the
Branch road to Ridgefield village, with ter-
.minus at Wilton, is being strongly Qimted.
Ameeting of the landed proprietors on the
proposgd line was held at the store of Messrs
Ruscoe, Hoyt Q 00., Bald Hill, on Shturday
afternoon last, and passed'ofi‘ agreeably and
with much better success than the proprie-
tors darcd anticipate. Nearly every person
present'owning land where the road would
be liker to run, subscribed the right of way
and some money besides. A committee of'
five was appointed to confer with those per-
sons directly interested who were not pres-
ent, rind obtain their subscription of right
.of way and money, and also to confer with
the Danbury & N orwalk Railroad Co.. and
with the Ridgefield committees, and be
“ready to ‘ report on Thursday next at the
Ridgegeld committee meeting. Those pres-
ent showed their interest in the project by
subscribing between five hundred and a
thousand dollars down, and giving encour-
agement for still larger subscriptions. The
projectors are much gratified at the interest
so far manifested, and think everything
looks favorable for this route, especially so
if the Wilton people will put their should-
ers to the wheel and make a serious and de
termined effort to secure the prize for their
town. . ‘

The feeling in favor of- enactingm law
similar to the one in force in N ewYork,Mas~
sachusetts and sOme of thefiestem states, is
rapidly gaining ground. Our state carries
a fiowage law upon its statute Books, and it
would seem thut it could stand a General
Railroad Act. It is too ,late in the day for
any one steamboat or manufactory or even
railroad company to assert that they are the
sole inheritors of the earth. Let roads he

money in railroads, they take the same

Beardsley, Esq., of Bridgeport, was nomina-
ted for Con ess by the Republicans of this
District. I. Beardsley needs no introduc-
tion to the people of this District. As a
lawyer he has no superior, if any equal, at
the Fairfield County Bar. But he is not
merely a great lawyer; he is a sound and
eloquent political speaker, and amost popu-
lar man. After the practical non-represen-
tation of the past two cars, any member of
the House who could e at his post would
be an improvement. With one of the ablest
men in the State to represent us, the inter-
ests of this District can hardl suffer in the
XLIst as they have done in c XLth Con-
gress.-—Lt'tchficld Enquirer. -
And now Wm. H. Barnum is a ain can-
didate. What has he done to entit e him to
re-nomination? A clever fellow, no doubt,
but what earthllytfitness has be for a scat in
the National -gislature ? ,‘Who knows
him 1’ Beyond his ability to buy votes, what
is there of him, in him, to lnm, or about
him, that would attract a Con tonal
nomination 1’ Set the two candi ates over
against one another—Sidney B. Beardsle
and Wm. H. Barnum, and laying aside a
considerations other than those of fitness
and on ucity who would he the choice of
reasons 1e, fair-minded men ? And that,
afier all; is the question—who is. best fitted
by education, ability, and training, for the
business of legislation? The voters of the
Fourth District are to decide it on its mer-
its—Hartford Post. '

ents have been issued to citizens'of this

12th Senatorial Convention.
Fi'l‘he Republican Convention for the 12th
Sonatorisl District met at Town Hallr New
Canaan, on the 3d lust, and was called to
order b H. W. R. Hoyt, Esq , of the Sons-
torial Committee. On motion, Mr. Gil-
lespie oLthe Stamford Advocate, was called
to the chair as temporary chairman. Mr.
Bliss of N ewCanaan, was chosen tempora-'
rySecretary. On motion, George Scofield
of Stamford, A. H. Camp of Norwalk, and .
Mr. Howland Of Greenwich, were appointed
a committee, on credentials. At this stage
of the proceedings,Noan W.Hov'r arose and
asked the privilege as an “outsider" of pre-
senting a' “ticket" to the delegates, which
had been prepared with some care, and
which he was confident would meet the ac-
ceptance of all present. Inasmuch as .can-
vassing for two or three candidates had al-
ready become pretty lively, this novel
proposition caused a profound sensation.
A distribution of the tickets “Good for One
Dinner,” had a most soothing effect upon the
Convention, dispelling all dark forebodings,
and no doubt securing much of that hanno.
ny which characterized the proceedings.
throughout. .
The, committee on credentials reported
the following delegates present :’
Greenwich—Joseph .E. Brush.» 561190“-
Howland, Alvin Mead, George Lush. .
Stamford—Gear e E. Scofield, Wm; W.
Gillespie, Samuel fiesscnden, Alfred HO t-

'S. Knapé), R. H. Rowan. _
New anaan—A. H. Comstock, Francis

Wilton—Albert Seymour, J. B. Hurlbutt.
By unanimous vote the temporary officers
were declared permanent officers of the
convention. On motion, Messrs. Hurlbutt
of Wilton, Bullock of Norwalk, and Fess-
enden of Stamford, were appointed a com-
mittee on Resolutions.
Voted, That Convention do now proceed
to an informal ballot for the choice of a
candidate for Senator.

On motion it was voted that last ballot be
deemed formal and Mr. Hoyt declared nomi-
nated unanimous. . ‘ "
_ A committee ofthree werethen appointed
to wait on Mr. Hoyt and invite his pres-
ence in the hall. Before the committee had
departed Mr. Fessenden of Stamford, with
some feeling, raised the objection that the
course just adopted by the convention was
unusual and demanded that a formal ballot
be taken for Senator, whereupon Mr. Bul-
lock immediately moved a reconsideration
of the action and that a formal vote.be ta-
ken, which was done with the following re-
sult : Whole number of votes 18,—necessa-
ry to choice 10, of which H. W. R. Hoyt
had 10 and C. S. Childs 8. Mr. Morehouse
then moved that the [nomination of Mr.
Hoyt be made unanimous, which was sec-
onded by Mr. Fessenden of Stamford, and
carried.' The committee reported the fol-
lowing resolutions : ,
Resolved, That we heartil
acts and resolutions of the
gressional Conventions. .
Resolved, That it is-with pleasure that we
present Heusted W.‘ R. Hoyt, Of Greenwich,
as a candidate‘eve'ry way worthy of the suf-
frages of the voters of the 12th Senatorial
District. - ’ ' . ,
The committee appearing with Mr. Hoyt
in custody, he was greeted with animated
applause. Silence being restored he was
presented to the convention in a few elo-
endorse the
fate and Con-
. quent words by Mr. Fessenden. Mr. Hoyt.
responded as follows :
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen cy‘ the, Consen-
fa'on .'
It is,-of course, my first duty to thank
you, and I do thank you sincerely for the
great honor you have done me in selecting
me as the standard-bearer of the Union Re-
publican party in this campaign, for the
Twelfth Senatorial District. It is indeed a
distinction highly to be prized, to tgo‘ssess
the confidence and trust, and to he ought
worthy to be the representative of that par-
ty that has done so much for the land we
love—that has safely guided the Republic
through the dangers of a civil war—that in
the face of reverses and defeats never once
lost faith in the triumph of the right, but
amid clouds and thick darkness still remain-
ed faithful to the Good Cause, until at length
the rightful authority. .
was eve here via icated and re-‘establish-
ed, and e old flag of our fathers floated
once more above the soil archery-state; (In:
challenged and unquestioned. [Cheers]
Standing upon the platform of that organ-
ization; I accept this nfinination in the
spirit in which it is tendered. I have no
other pledge to make than this, that, ifclect-
ed, I will endeavor so to conduct myself as
your representative that the interests of the
people of this District and State shall re-
ceive no detriment at my hands, and that
the old Twelfth District shall be seen to
“take no step backward” from her adhc-
rence to true Republican principles. [Ap-
plause] ,
In the last campaign, that terminated so
glloriouslg with the triumphant election of
lysses . Grant [cheers] totbe Presiden
of the republic, those principles were estab-
lished and two things were settled be 0nd
all cavil or question. First,.that the p 'ght-
cd faith.of the United States should be
maintained—that the national obligations
made for a sacred purpose and in a sacred
cause, should not be hacken or denied—,
that the word of America should be as
as her bonds, and that her bonds sho _d be
as good as gold. [Applause Second, that
the reconstruction acts shou d stand—that
the fruits of victory should he garnered, not
wasted—that “loyalty should. overn what
loyalty had preserved"—tha‘t ~ e fights of
every citizen should be enforced, no matter
'how poor or humble he might'be, and that
hereafter, our political action should be
based upon the only righteous and endur-
ing principle of “equal and exact justice to
all men.” [Cheers] : - -
These seem to me to be the‘ principles
that should shape our polic ; and’ in that,
well-fought contest in whic they were ee-
curéd, old Connecticut redeemed herself
right nobly. Disloyalty and fraud, work-
ing with and for each other, were smitten
,to the dust, and from every. hill-top and
every valle throu bout our commonwealth
3rang out e batte cry, “For Libs and
Peace, and may God defend the ight."
The old spirit was aroused, and under the
leadership of that gallant yOung chieftain
who never yet had .met defeat, the Union
hosts were milled, and “moving immediate-
ly upon the enemy’s works,” not only 'de-
manded but secured “an unconditional sur-
render." And I believe that old Connecti-
cut intends to “fight it out on this line,” to
remain true to her lighted faith, and as to-
morrow’s sun sha ook down u on that
glad 'scene at the nation’s capital, w ere our
laurel-crowned hero shall register his oath
’ to preserve, protect and defend the land he
has already saved, so in April next our com-
monwealth will be found standingfaithmlly
.by the administration of General rant, and
at the close of the contest, a thousand wires
shall be musical with the glad tidings that
old Connecticut remains as firm as her own
eternal hills; and amid our peans of victory
shall ascend the ' of our sister
rgoicin
states. “ God save‘ 0 U on and the Com-
monwealth Of 'COnnecticut.” - [Loud ap-
plause] .
A vote of thanks was passed to Noah W.
Hoyt and Wm. L. Waring for the “Ticket"
presented at the early stages of the ‘pro-
ceedings. ‘
The following Senatorial Committee were
then elected: ' -
I. M. Bullock, Norwalk; Joseph E. Rus-
sell, Greenwich ~; Albert Seymour, Wilton.
The thanks of the Conventiou were then
tendered its officers, when it adjourned
sine die. ' ‘
The delegates from the Stamford Probate
District immediately convened and nomina-
ted Julius B. Curtis as their candidate.
The august assembly then repaired across
the street to the New Canaan Hotel, where
a substantial dinner had been provided‘ for
the delegates and lobby members.

same result, amid much discord, which in
consequence, we presume of the chairman
having no sergeant-at-arms at his command,
he made little or no successful headway in
suppressing. A formal ballot was taken in
increased confusion, with same result, when
Mr. Woodward was unanimously declared

THE HOTEL Pnornu'rr.—The price paid
for the Norwalk Hotel property was $34,000
instead of $33,000 as stated in our last.—
Messrs. Jacob Weeks, late of Somers, West-
cbester 00., N. Y., and Ezra Curtis late of
Bridgeport, are the purchasers. We under-
stand that they intend ‘making important
improvements, among which .is fire erection
of a ,handsome block with stores on the
ground floor, and Hotel overhead. &c. The
location of this property is splendid, and in
our opinion now is the time, (if, indeed the
present owners will join in the plain) for a
joint-sto k company, with .ample capital, to
be\forme for the purpose of buying the
'property and carrying out the above‘ plan in
a style commensurate -to our present and
prospective needs. With a large, conven-
iently arranged building, thus pleasantly lo-
cated,s r boarders from the City would
fill the rooms, and 'add life, attraction and
increased prosperity to our village.
WA comparison of ,1.th Grand List of
Norwalk with that of Bridgeport (printed
elsewhere) shows a difference of $92,646 in
favor of Norwalk, in the‘incrgase of the
two places over the year 1867.

OBIIIIIOII ofthc Union Pacific Railroad.
That portion of the Union Pacific Rail-
road in operation in 1868, earned more than
$7,000 per mile, a remarkable business suc-
cess for a new road built into an unsettled
country, and having its transportation facil-
ities heavily taxed to carry forward to the
place of its employment muéh of the mater-
ial for its own further construction. That
even these large earnings are. but a mere
hint of the future business of the Company,
when the through line shall be complete
and its legitimate connections" perfected, is
demonstrated by the‘ earnings of the longest
trunk lines of the East. The New York
Central earned, in 1868, $24,251 per mile, the
New York and Erie, $25,811, and the Penn-
sylvania Central; $47,475, the average for
three being $32,512 per mile. Long rail.
roads (other things being equal) are always
the most profitable. The Union Pacific is
much longer than any of the abovc, but an
equal annual average per mile ~will reach
the enormous aggregate of$35,763,200 upon
its its 1,100 miles. It is noteworthy that
the U. S. Senate Committee, '10 which was
referred the question of further railroad sub-
sidies, have an official opinion that more
freight would be offered the Union Pacific
tliin a single track could accommodate.
These facts and conclusions show the unus-
ual security which distinguishes the First
Mortgage Bonds of the Company, concern-
ing which the Treasurer’s advertisement, in
another column, gives further information.

CONSUMPTION AND CANCER CURED.
Waunars, Mass, Nov. 12, 1868.
My rsndmother and several aunts and cousins
died 0 consumption. My mother had a cancer: I was
taken with a bad cough which had afl'ecied me 18
months; 12 months after my cough commenced, can-
cers began in both breasts, which grew rapidly for‘
six months, hard cancerous lumps in both breasts.
In this state I called on you with but little hope, as
both my lungs were affected, and a cancer in each
breast. Consumption and cancer seemed to struggle
whlch would destroy me first. I had suffered much
from dyspepsia. Your remedies, with the concentra-
ted cancer mineral sprin ' water have wholly cured
me. I have been perfect y wcllfortwo months; no
can b or expectoration; no swelling in my breasts;
no yspepsla; no ‘pain or sufierlng. Everywhere I
am strong and ab e to perform all my duties. I took
medicines four months.
Thankfully yours.
