The vote on this measure in the Senate
stood rm for, eleven against. Though not
what its friends hoped or had a right to 6X-
pcct, it was the closest rub our oily‘gammon
friend Bishop has ever encountered before.
The monopoly attornies did not conceal
their disappointment in not getting 13, and
when we consider their reputed mode of
“fixing” things about our legislature, it is
not to be wondered at that they thus calcu-
Thc most painful fact connected
with the vote is that our sister county of
Litchflcld was solid against us and in one
case, even super-serviceable in aid of the
people‘s enemy. So also, was she against
us on the committee, or rather against her-
self, for Li/chfield peeplc are just as much
interested in saving three quaters of a dol-
lar on every trip as they would do were
there competion, as weof Fairfield, or any
and all other parts of the State. But it is
the story over again of a. rich and powerful
monopoly with its heels upon the necks of
the people, and meaning to keep them there,
so long as they can extort money from the
public, to purchase power,and maintain their
injustice. ' '
Senator Hoyt made a neat and cogent
speech in behalf oftbe measure, which we
shall publish next week. He was replied
to by senator Andrews, who after consum-
iug all the time prior to the hour of taking
the vote, had the courtesy of more time ex-
tended until he had finished his desultory rc-
marks. Wc presume the speech, (argument
it was not) was as‘good as any that could be
made for a bad pause, and one that sccmiu gl y
had not always commanded the convictions
of the speaker. He was being replied to by
Senator Judd, from the 10th, in a most clo-
quant and cogent manner,wheu the'_'shot be-
ing too hot or the logic too deadly, Senator
Andrews had the ill grace to object to his
further proceeding. Quite a running debate
was here inaugurated by Senators Sperry,
Shelton and others, when Senator Judd
“ and informed Senator Andrews that ,
ifhe could not: longer endure the argument
he would desist, and took his seat, the ac-
knowledged victor in that skirmish. Sena—
tor Judd is by far the most eloquent and cf-
foqtive ofi-liand debater in the Senate, and
as he recounted the oppressions and wrongs ,
inflicted upon the people, by this giant cor—
poration, and warmed up with the fcrvid
glowr of his argument, we presume there
were few listeners who did not feel that the
Senator from the 15th had abundant cause to
cry out for the “suppression of such senti-
ments”. ' ‘
Today, Tuesday, the question comes up in
the House. Probablyd vote will be reached
on Wednesday. The friends of the Parallel
are confident of ‘a majority vote. But the
monopoly have only redoublcd their efforts
to defeat us, and may succeed. If not it goes
back to the Senate, where pleading justice
is to receive her benediction or death stab.
We must wait to see.

which were made to their order, a descrip-

The flag is an American ensign, 5x8 feet
made ofcnglish hunting, and mounted or.
white—ash pole handsomely painted, with
gilded spear head, red, white and blue tas-
scls, patent leather belt and socket, 830.
The banner is of the best quality heavy
green banner silk, and of very rich design,
on the front is a representation of the Bles-
sed Virgin and the angel Gabriel saluting
her, with group of small angels at her
feet, with rich scroll work in gold inclosing
name of the Society on top, and date of or-
gauization at bottom. On the reverse side
is a representation of Moses smiling the
rock, a rich and appropriate design ; above
is the Maid of Erin leaning on harp, with
Goddess of Liberty holding American flag
over her, the whole rich with gold work
and fine painting. The banner is trimmed
with gold lace, with gold tassels, cord and
bullion fringe. Above is a green silk
sash. On top of the pole, which is of black
walnut, jointed, is a gold carved cross and
gold eagle, to be used as occasion requires.
The banner is 5x7 feet, and cost about $175.
The flag cost $25. ‘

Mn. SPEAKER :—I have been deeply inter-
ested in this discussion, and am anxious
that the Resolution recommended by the
minority of the Committee should pass.
If I have not been incorrectly informed, the
trial before the Committee upon the petition
'of the young man,‘involved in this discus-
sion for release from State Prison, has not
been an ex-parte 'one; but that there ap-
pe'ared before the Committee an opposition
strenuous and hard-fought, instigated by the
corporation he had so deeply wronged. I
have also learned that the only opposition
to release of Jerry Townsend is prosecuted
by, this corporation, which in the person of
one or more of its ofilcel'S, soothed the last
moments on earth of ' a grief-stricken father
and gave his soul an easy transit from earth
to heaven, by the solemn assurance that they
would exert their utmost influence to secure
the release of his son. Prior pledges made
in the presence of death itself have been
forgotten and ruthlessly broken. I feel a
deep interest in this case because this young
man was a soldier, to whose services as one
of the heroes in the great historic struggle
for freedoin ' through which we have just
passed, the gentlemen from New Haven
(Williams) and Killingly (Burton) have so
touchiugly alluded. And lest the gentleman
from Orange (Bryan) may misinterpret my
motives, I will assure him I am not a'mem-
ber of the Grand Army of the Republic;
have never taken any secret obligation forc-
ing me upon the floor of this House to plead
the cause of this soldier——here. But, Sir, I
do remember, that while marching down
the dusty roads 'of Maryland, or sitting
around the camp-tires in the gray dusk of
the evening twilight, or patiently‘waiting to
perform our routine of picket duty, we
vowed together that sooner should our right-
arms wither than they fail to defend, or our
tongues be slit to their roots than they fail
to plead for justice to a companion in arms;
(Loud applause) and here to-day I plead the
cause of Jerry Townsend, for I firmly be-
lieve that by his release no injustice will be
done to any man or to society, but that
stern justice may be tempered with mercy
of punishment have been satisfied. I feel
deeplyinterestcd in this case because of the
youth of the prisoner. He is now in early
manhood; day by day does the light of life
for him grow dim, day by day his future ex-
pectation is being cut off, day by day dis-
ease is making fearful inroads upon his
frame. Unbar the prison doors while he
may have time to rc-establish a squandered
character, to achieve a good name ,among
his fellows, to retrieve a lost reputation
among men. I was pleased with the exhor-
tation (if the Chairman of this Committee a
few days since to this House, in reporting
upon another case,that shwe ould remember
the teaching of the blest Redeemer while
upon the earth, and. of his disciples, and
show mercy to thefallen. .When, this ses-
sion, have we had a case so fitly demanding
the exercise of this attribute as this one be:
fore as ? Only afew days since,.this House
passed a Resolution releasing from confine-
ment a man grown gray in sin; committed
for the most heinous crime known among
men, and for which a man should suffer an
ignominious death, if for any; for no other
reason than his great age and that he might
go out to die. The House saw fit to extend
'no friends happy, for he had none; who can
be of no service to his fellow men, for his
vigor of life has departed; whose most 'fit-
ting place to die is the State Prison, and
shall we fail to extend the same merciful
dispensation to one who may become an
honor to society, a blessing to mankind. I
do not advocate the release of this convict
merely because he was a conn; soldier, or
because of his youthfulness, but I do claim
that it the ends of justice are not to be jeop-
ardized or overruled by his. release; there
are considerations that should have weight
with this House. The gentleman from Gris-
wold (Couch) says the law must be enforced,
society must be protected; why was be silent
'a few daysfvsince when we were asked to re-
lease a man beside whom Townsend is a
saint ‘3 . Why was his voice then not heard
here demanding the rigid enforcement of the
sentence to thebitterend? He was silent
then, let his plea have today no more weight
than his silence then. Mr. Speaker, one
word more. This House should be apprised
of the fact, that this Savings Bank from
whom the embezzlement was made is the
only party instigatiug the opposition to this
release, and that the Chairman of this Com-
mittee who has made the majority report of
the Committee against the discharge of
Townsend, , is himself the Treasurer of a
i Savings Bank.
Mn. ROCKWELIr—I will inform the gent
from Norwalk that the Bank referred to, did
not appear before the committee to oppose
release.
Mn. BULLOCK—I will ask the Chairman
of the Committee, (Mr. Rockwell) if there
did not appear in opposition to release, the
:State’s Attorney for New Haven County,
who prosecuted for the Bank, this young
man before the Courts?

“ I am glthomyouyenflmwn, and I wish
it were daylight,” . .
by his'release,‘and that in his case the ends .
mercy to this poor creature, who could make ,
~ceptable. At'this time we prop 'se to give a.
more extended narrative.
Although this great project has been jeer-
ed ane burlesqued by the New York and
other papers, ridiculed and carricatured by
faithless and unbelieving souls, yet, in the
face of all obstacles which would have dis-
couraged and disheartened any other man
than P. S. Gilmore, it has met with a bril-
liant, and unprecedented success, far beyond
anything expected of it, and the name of
the originator will be remembered with ad-
miration by coming generations.
It was eminently proper that such a jubi-
lee should transpire on the Anniversary of
the first great Battle of the Revolution—the
battle of Bunker Hill,—and on or .very near‘
the spot where the great event took place.
It was also fitting that the peace succeeding
the most gigantic war the world has ever
witnessed should be celebrated here, and on
a scale of the greatest grandeur. When we
look at the favor in which the people at-
large have received and patraiizcd it, all
doubts of the probability or practibility of
such an undertaking, are at an end. Ev-
ery anticipation ofthe most sanguine, rela-
tiv'c to the musical part—and the pcamiary
part, too—has met with full. and complete
realization.
By announcement the ceremonies at the
Coliseum were to commence at 3 p. m., but,
thinking there might be a crowd, and in or-
der to avoid it, we entered the building at 2_
Judge of our surprise on .gaining admission
to find an audience of at least 20,000 strol-
ling about, or in their seats, and a contin-
uous stretun pouring in.‘ The Grand Clio-
rus too, were nearly all seated. Recently
when at the Cooper Institute, New York.
with a crowd of two three thousand, it
seemed to us that that was a great thing. So
it was, and likewise the crowds we have
seen assemble at the Academy of Music and
Steinway Hall, on Gala nights. But, my
dear Mr. Editor, stand here ‘a moment with-
us and look at this tremenduous concourse,
numbering with singers and orchestra full
fifty thousand, and you Will'say that Peter
Cooper's nutshell with the 14th St, cata-
combs sink into utter significance.
At‘three o’clock it was interesting to look
upon the spectacle, and listen to the shuf-
fling of so many thousand feet, not unlike
the roar of surf as it rolls upon some pcbbly
beach. At 3 % o’clock the Rev. Mr. Hale,
uttered the opening prayer, but it was
scarcely audible, as was the welcoming ad-
dress by Mayor. Shurtlefi', Hon. A.’H. Rice
was rd to better advantage, speaking as
he di ith a powerful pair of lungs. The
multitude paid little attention to him, how-
ever. The people had come hither not to
listen to addresses, but to hear music, and
there is now a prospect of gratification.
There comes the individual to whom genius
we are indebted for the preeent means of
enjoyment—Gilmore—He is in full dress,
White kids and all. With baton in hand he
steps upon the platform, while bursts of ap-
plause greet him—applause the like of
which no man before him ever received.
He leisurely turns the leaves of his “score”
is if about to commence. The surgingthou—
sands are restrained for an instant, but again
excited to enthusiasm as the venerable Ole
Bull takes his place at the head of the lst
Violins, and again as Carl Rosa seats him-
self with the 2d Violins. At install is ready
the Conductor gently taps upon his music
rack, instantly every instrument is in posi-
tion, every throat cleared, and, every singer
standing in his place. At a. given signal to
Dr. Wilcox a short symphony is breathed
upon the Organ,a wave or two of the baton
and 10,000 voices and 1,000 instruments tell
us, with greater emphasis than was ever told
before, that
“God is a castle and defence.”
The applause which followed surpasses all
description, sufiicc ’t to say , that any ambi-
tion Martin Luther might have had when
writing this choral, would have been am-
ply rcwarded could he have witnessed this
demonstration.
’ The selection from the “12th mass” was
adroitetly handled. Abounding in vocal
and orchestral cfi'ects, worth along journey
to hear. The presence of Madame Parepa
Rosa on the platform was the signal for a
new out burst of applause. Her fine per-
sonal appearance, with the thought of her
recent musical achievementsgave assurance
that something desirable and acceptable was
about to be listened to. She sang an Ave
Marie by Guonod, with such telling cfi‘ect,
as to warrant repetition. Subsequently in
the “Inflaumatus” she fairly outdid herself,
and justly received the tribute of an emphat-
ic encore. But when the “Star Spangled
Banner,” with full chorus and artillery ac-
companiment was given,it did seem as if the
immense building with its stupendous cross
beams and bolts, wouldcome down. Bursts
on bursts of applause, shouting,stamping of
feet, clapping of hands and waving of hand-
kerchiefs, rendered it necessary for wed”
tion, and a like demonstration {0 ed.
The “Anvil Chorus” with a new dressing ’
was produced in the second part, and ap-
peared to be the feature of the day’s per-
formance. At that time and since It has at.
tracted more attention than all the rest be;
side. The idea of 100 anvils beaten by 100
sledgcs was a novelty, and there is no mis-
take about it; the piece was handsomely
given. At its conclusion hurrahing, wav-
ing of hats and handkerchiefs. Shouting,
and» applause of all kinds was indulged in to
unlimited extent, and the music was repeat-
ed to a highly gratified audience.
On Wednesday, President Grant arrived
and became, of course, a source of attrac-
. tion; He visited both houses of the Legisla-
ture, making a short speech before the Sen-
ate. He also reviewed about 20,000 troops,
under Gen. Butler, and at‘3 o’clock visited
the colosium. A select programme had been
prepared in anticipation of his coming. In
the hope of gaining a sight of this distin-
guished person, thousands and thousands
flocked hither-ward, and thousands were
unable to enter. ' It is entimated that 50,000
people at least were inside, while outside,
not less that 100,000 were standing. The
Entrance of the President was the signal for
tremendous applause and every neck was
stretched to obtain a glimpse of his face. As
he walked-up the aisle arm in arm with the
mayor of the City accompanied-by Admirals
Farragut and Porter, Gen. Banks, Charles
Sumner and a score of' celebrities, every
thought was turned to those mighty deeds
now belonging to a glorious history—Vilm-
burg, Shiloh,Fort Donaldson and Richmond
were remembered, and as that mighty cho-
rus and orchestra swelled forth the strains
of “See I the couquering Hero comes” from
Handel’s Judas Maecabeers,‘ most of the vast
andience‘instinctively arose, and remained
standing during the three verses. At its
conclusion the people fairly run wild with
excitement; cheers on cheers followed, and
an attempt to repeat the piece, was frustra-
tedby cheers and- applause that burst forth
'and continued to increase. The demands of
all ‘were satisfied, at last, by the President,
who condesceneed to show himself upon the
platform where he bowed his gratitude. ' He
made no- speech, but proceeded at once to
his seat. The “Star Spangled Banner” and
'stylc as the previous day. .
It is fitting and proper to speak a good
word for Miss Adelaide Phillips, whose pre-
viousperformances have eVer been merito-
rious. She sang an Air accompanied by
string instruments, and sang it beautifully
but her voice being centralto, was ‘ not
heard to good advantage by. people in the
distance.‘ But when Parepa sang “Let the
bright Serophim” (Handel) accompanied by
Trumpet solo, by. Mr. Arbuckle, power of
language fails the to ‘ describe the inspiring,
the entrancing eficct produced.
The Choruses of today were better reni

duced upon the hearers. _ ~ -
Taking all circumstances into considera-
tion- we think these representations ap-
proached as near perfection as it was possi-
ble to approach. That they should be ab-
solutely perfect was too much to expect. In
a building of such vast proportions, with a
few weeks only of practice, under so many
different leaders, how could we look for pre-
cigion or decided accuracy in the manage-
ment of 10,000 voices. And yet, under all
these difficulties we have the astonishing,
the sublime result, of, if not a complete, at
least an unprecedented success. A grateful
people are standing ready to do honor to
,those whose efforts and genius have brought
about these gratifying results ; and History,
when the proper time shall come, cannot
but place high upon her scroll the names of
GILMORE, ZERRAHU, Erenronn; and TOUR-
JEE. Respectfully, Yours, &c.,

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
SqU.IiTTEns.—At a town meeting held on
Friday 1801, it was - votpd to authorize the
Selectmen to lease any land belonging to'
the town for a. term not exceeding ten years
at public auction. Now here is a chance
for persons who have fenced in the town
property and hold it free of rent, to lease
the same and thus cut dbwn town taxes,and
hereafter, when the town votes to discon—
tinue a highway, it is to be hoped that the
land so given up may bomade to bring mon-
ey into the town treasury, and Mr; Brown
or Smith who has built a house on the
property of the town and has held it so long
free, will now get a chance to do as he ought
to do, and ease his mind, orgive it up and
let other persons use it. Of course any per-
son dcsiring a piece of property of tliiskind
can get a chance at it, by application to the
Selectmen, provided he will pay more rent
for it than any. one else; S.
lllnssns. EDITons.—- .
.. I out much obliged
for the commendation given me in your
pap‘er of the 15th, of the road thus far re-
paired between the two villages.‘ In the
same article you censure me for the condi-
tion of the portion of this road between
Isaacs’ hill and the railroad bridge, which I
think you could with propriety have omit-
ted, at least for the present, as I told your
senior, but a few days previous, thatI
would have it repaired, and you knew the
men at work on this road were working
that way. Please have a little more pa-
tience ; and do not reply to -this communi-
cation, saying Patience has ceased to bc‘a
created in a day, This avenue is the most
difficult road in the town to repair, and keep
in repair. N 0 road can be good. without
drainage, and because of the Horse Rail-
road track, there is no chance to round the
road from the gutters. The only way to
materially better this road in my opinion,
is to plow out the gutters grade down
the shoulders carting jthe dirt away ; this
has been done as far as repaired, thus giv-
ing the water a little chance to drain ofi'.
Knowing the aversion every one has,
to have' a plow used in front of their
own premises, I thought best to "take'the
Bull by the horns, and begin this mode of
repair at home—South Norwalk—and work
to the other end. The section to which you
refer, is the worst part of the whole load to
repair, and keep in repair, so heavily shad-
ed, and seldom dry, with a poor show-of
ability to grade down, making gutters suf-
ficient for drainage. In my opinion this
portion of the road should be paved.
I shall endeavor to do my duty to the
best of my ability' this year, then if some
one can be found able to do better, I shall
be glad. Yours Res’y., DUDLEY P. ELY,
‘ Superintendent of Highways.
