DEAR GAZETTE :—
Both HOuses of Congress have dropped
into their places and are as busily at work
as school boys after a rcces‘s. The Presiy
dents Message and accompanying docu-
ments, claimed chief consideration after
the opening. The message is one of those
clear, calm and unmistakable docu-
ments which will inevitably commend it-
sclf in the main, to the sober judgment of
men of all parties. His treatment of the
Alabama question, though perh‘sps deficient
in the gloss of the diplomatic rhetorician, is
yet so honestly and frankly put, that dogged
John Bull will be at no loss to comprehend
the President’s policy. The terse, common
sense suggestion for settling the Georgia
cmbroglio is characteristic, and so entirely
adequate, that no doubt is entertained but
it will be at once adopted by Congress. This
will give us Georgia’s vote for the Fifteenth
Amendment '; Mississippi and Texas are al-
so quite certain on this point, which with
Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and probably
Rhode Island, puts to rest, and forever, the
paramount reconstruction questions, which
have so long agitated the country. The vari-
us other recommendations of the message,
so commend themselves to the approval of
Congress that more than usual attention
will be bestowed upon them, in the legisla-
tion will be bestowed upon them, in the leg-
islation of the ensuing session, we are confi-
dent.
The Report of the Treasury Minister, is
perhaps the most marvelous exhibit ever
made of the recuperative powers and finan-
cial strength of any nation. Secretary
Boutwcll in his brief administration of that
vital branch of the Government, has made
aname and fame for himself which will
long outlast his mortal life. It is of no or-
dinary consequence, that in the somewhat
curious Cabinet conglomerate, we have a
man of the clear sagacity and inflexible pu-
rity of character of GEORGE S. BOU'I‘WELL,
of Mass. His exhibit will set the money
changers of the old world, and especially of
“Merrie England,” where the interest of
their national debt drags down everything
to the slough of dcspond, to a better think—
ing of us and our capabilities.
The earnest recommendation of the Post-
master General for the abolition of the frank
ing abomination is wise and tImely. Mr.
Cresswell has long been a Senator and
knows full well, as does every other mem-
ber of Congress, what an almost universal
fraud this has become. And it grows worse
every session. Not only does every Mess—
enger, Page and Sweeper about the Capitol
flisnense frauked documents, but franked
.tvelopes as well. The. kind and se-
' >3 matrons and maids who keep hos-
::‘- w,~.=.,let rboms and do washings, are al-
abundantly supplied. To our pcrsoui
a1 knowledge, the frank of a New York
member of Congress was used to cover the
city circulation and distribution through the
city post office, of a shopkeepers store circu-
lars, and,shalllm confess it, we have our-
selves done what little we could, practically,
to render the system odious. Nor is it in
the mere loss of revenue from postage and
the enormous cost Of‘trausporting free mat-
ter, that most concerns the people. For
While over thirty tons of free matter has been
sent out of the Washington Office per week,
that is but a tythe of the cost and loss in-
volved. There is the paper, the envelopes,
the printing, the binding, the folding, the
wrapping, &c., all done at a fearful cost,and
which to the amount of millions would be
saved the tax-payers of the country were
this figaraut wrong removed. One would
suppose that members themselves would
prefer to vote themselves one hundred dol-.
lars per session or some other sum rather
than be annoyed as they are by idic corres.
pendants and Document mcndicants, who
never would send for or wish to receive a
public paper 'if it were to cost them a dime.
If there ever was a time when this printing
and free sending out of documents and
books was justifiable, it is not so now, for
the enterprise of the newspaper press of the
country will more rapidly procure and dis-
seminate everything of interest to the public
than the Government and Congress could or
would, if they essayed to do nothing else-
In short the fraukirig system at present, is
the most transparent of all demigogcical de-
vices. We shall see if there is honest‘virtue
enough in Congress to cut that dogs’ tail of,
close up to its ears.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
makes many wise suggestions in his admira-
ble report. With beaming desire not to
have the revenues curtailed, he has. been led
into error, as we think, of asking the re-eu-
actmcut of the Income tax. There is no tax
paid by the people so inquisitorial and so
obnoxious as this. It gives a man’s neigh-
bor and especially the revenue office, a
wholly improper knowledge of a man's pri-
vate affairs. The more serious part of this
tax may be stated, perhaps to be, that while
honest men pay their full and fair assess-
ment, there is another class greatly prepon-
derating in numbers, who pay little or noth-
ing through the gravest perjury. Let prop~
‘ erty, wherever found, and that cannot be
concealed, pay its full share of taxation ,
but the matter of incomes is a sacred priva'
cy that even the Internal Revenue officer
should not be permitted to invade. '
The Senate adjourned from Thursday
over the week. The House has under dis-
cussion, in Committee of the Whole,the new
Census Bill. The committee "have elabora-
ted a bill possessing many new features with
:i \ iew to a more correct and reliable euu_
nitration of population and resources than
has ever been obtained before. Gen. Gar-
fie‘d has given it his best and at allevcuts
lllti'lt laborious attention,but it meets with
spirited opposition. Many members prefer
the. good old way, by which all former cen-
cuses have been taken.
Gen. Ferry is looking rather better in gen-
oral health than when he left home, but his
more serious difi‘lculty, understood to cmi-
nate from some disease of the spinal func-
tions, must still excite very grave apprehen-
sion. '
Governor Buckingham seems perfectly
“at home.” His genial, bland face, always
an index of kindness and sincerity, is One of
the marked figures in the Senate, as one
look; down upon that not over handsome
body of men. Said a Massachusetts friend
to u: ,.-csterday, who is zealously interested
in the Young Men’s Christian Association
here. “We had your Senator Buckinghamat
our prayer meeting last evening and you
don't know what a lift it was to us." Our
little State has been especially fortunate in
the high character of its Senators, yet we
can i iall no incident so truly compliment'
cry to one of her senators, or sb gratifying
to the religious sentiments of her people, du-
v.
ring i these, new more than twenty years
jourii..iixtic experience about the national
capitol.

IIIGHWAY Bowman—Several attempts at
highway robbery have recently been made
at South Norwalk, in the immediate vicinity
of the bua'ness portion of the village. We
have heard of five cases, at least, where gen-
tlemen have been forcibly stopped, and their
money demanded. Fortunately, so far as
we can learn, t“: victims were all of the
“poor but honest" class, so that the would
be highwayman secured but little plunder;
iu'onc case the sight of a pistol frightened
them off. If this sort of thing continues
mtich longer our sister-village will be oblig-
ed to provide a suitable municipal govern-
ment for the security and protection of
honest citizens.

I?“ New Yorkers complain of dull times,
and we should think that business must be
fairly stagnant there, judging from the time
it takes to get orders from the country filled.
Merchants and business men generally com-
plain that it takes two or three times as long
in this dull season to get goods from New
York than ever before. No matter. what
you send for there is sure to be unusual de-
lay somewhere, and no one can rely upon
receiving goods at the time promised. Why
is this thus?

A most horrible and heart-rendi'ng affair .
ccurred in the family of a Mr Faunan,
who lives on the back road on the hill in
the rear of ‘ Mr. E. C. Bissell’sv residence in
Winnipauk, on Sunday morning last. It
seems that the mother left home in the
morning to attend .church at Norwalk
Bridge, leaving two children aged respect-
ively one year and and two and pee-half
years with their father. Thinking of no
danger, he hit the children in the house and
went out to milk, not being absent but a
few minutes. Upon his return, however,
he was horrified to find both the children
on the floor with their clothes burned off,
and both barely alive. It was too late to
save the little sufferers, both dying in a short
time. The mother was sent for, and her
agony can only be imagined.
”
Capture of Thieves.
Two men named James, hailing them this
vicinity, were recently arrested in Dunbury
for stealing fancy breed chickens. The pre-
mises they occupied were searched and sto-
lcu goods of various, kinds found. They
were tried and held in $2,200 bonds. On Fri-
day morning they were tried on four other
counts and committed to Danbury jail.
Friday afternoon about 3 o'clock, the jail-
er went to put coal on the fire when he was
attacked by Ed. James, drawn into the ‘ecll,
and badly beaten, after which the prisoners
succeeded in escaping. Notice was sent to
Norwalk, and the house of their father at
South Norwalk was searched ,on suspicidu.
Here, it is said, several hundreds of dollars
worth of goods, supposed to have been sto-
len, were found, including Overcoats, Robes,
bundles of Clothing ready to make up, par-
asols, and a'large variety of other articles.
The father could give no satisfactory ac-
count of how he came in possession of these
articles, but was not taken into custody. In
the meantime the officers scoured the town
and country in search of the jail breakers,
but without success on Saturday.
On Sunday the officers heard of them at
North Wilton, where Nelson had stolen
a horse from a minister. In the
mean time Ed. obtained a horse from his
uncle and started to find his brother, butwas
so hard pressed by the ofiicers that he left
that horse under a shed and stole one from
Mr. Smith Cole. The officers succeeded
finally in capturing Nelson James on Sun-
day, but Ed. has so far eluded their vigi-
lance. Some dozen officers are hunting for
him, and he may yet be caught. We give
below a description of the man.
DESCRIPTION or EDWIN M. JAMES.»
Age about 30; height 5 feet 8 1-2 inches;
dark complexion, dark hair, larwose ; face
smooth and rathcr red; light eyes; feet has
been frozen; twitches upper lip and right
eye when talking. He wore a cloth cap,
short sack con t, dark mixed pants with black
stripe, rubber boots, rather old. He also had
on a silver watch with a long link steel chain.
WNOW' that the Holiday season is ap-
proaching, it behooves all who design ma-
king prcsents to their friends to be on the
lookout for the suitable articles, and make
their selections early, when they can have
the best assortment of goods from which to
select. For Christmas ' and New Years
Presents it is difficult to find a more appro-
priate offering, and one to suit all means,
than a good Book. To suit the tastes of all
classes, Mr. A. Selleck has this season pro-
vided a fine stock of Books, of all kinds,
and at all prices, for children, youth and the
aged. '
He has also a fine variety of elegant Pock-
et Books, and a large assortment of Fancy
articles, for presents, from which, assured-
ly, it will not be difficult to make selections.
I-Ie invites all to call and examine his stock.

evenings, was ao’pretty fair success. The
attendance was quite large ,each evening,
and a respectable sum was netted for the
benefit of the School. The display of “use-
ful and fancy articles” “too numerous to
mention” was very creditable and worthy
of a. full grown Fair. The visitors were en-
tertained with vocal and instrumental music
by the teachers and pupils, and by Mr. Gib-
son. The picture gallery, which was gen-
erally supposed to be a “ h‘ur‘ubug":aud was
therefore little‘ patronized, was really a fine
' collection of Chromos, and large steel-plate
eugr‘i'sviugs of Historical subj set, which have

contribution, for the ornamentation of the
School Rooms. We hear that the Fair is to
be repeated on Thursday evening next,
when all who did not attend last week
should be present. The entertainment is
held in the new ball of the building.

DEAR GAZETTE z—aNew Jersey is a gfind
‘doOr, and Philadelphia that of the South.
Nor is it deficient in that inevitable feature
of a true City lodging—room—Mosquitos.
Josh Billings tells us in his “ Ailminax" that
he has taken the “ contraekt’ to remove all
the mosquitos from New J crsey to a “ men-
tal rcscrvation”wost of the Rocky Moun-
tains. When he succeeds, the dreams 0f
the jaded city merchants will be an uninter-
rupted stream of bliss. For, what with
East Orange, Orange J uuction, Orange Brick
Church, North Orange and South Orange;
Rouvillc, Moutrose and Bloomfield, the New
Yorker may indeed pillow his head upon
Oranges and Roses, while the Philadelphian
lays his caput on peaches and sweet pota-
toes! .
The New York entrance to a region
decked with such fragrant names, it must
he confessed is not extremely invitinv.
Crossing the North River in a third»class
Ferry-boat, upon which you find, generally,
a first-class jam, you land at Hoboken,
whose principal business seems to be Ste-
phen’s Buttery by day and assault and bat-
tery by night. Hurrying through an exten-
sive depot you hear the gate-keeper crying
out, “Ho! for Orange, South Orange and
all the Little Oranges l” Whereupon you
enter a. train of passenger cars so contracted
and filthy that Mr. Supt. Hoyt would be
ashamed to send a " naturalization par-
ty” to Bridgeport up‘ou “ the likes of them.”
Leaving the station you are whirled over
a half mile track which describes a perfect
S, and you are about to say the engineer
.who laid i‘ out was as perfect a—doubie—
S—wbcn you are told that that is the we y
the famous founder—Stepheus—stampcd his
initial upon the ciy, and—saved some

After a momentary halt, we plunge into
the bowels of the earth and remain in total
oblivion to the external world for several
minutes. This is the famous Bergen tunnel.
It is about one. mile in length, and was cut
for the Erie Railway. But-it is now used
by no less than three Railroad lines beside
the Eric, viz: the Delaware Lackawanna
and IVestcru R. R., the Morris do Essex
R. R. and the Bloomfield & Montclair R. R.
Something like 100 trains pass each way
through this immense bore every 24 hours.
As it is not-lighted at all, great caution .is
necessary to prevent accidents. Every train
is required by law. to stop before entering
the tunnel and notice is south y telegraph to
the other end. After receiving a telegram
back that all is clear, the train passes
through. At the other end it stops again,
and again telegraphic messages are ex-
' changed. NO second train is allowed to en-
ter the tunnel till assurance is received
that the first one is-through and the track
clear. '
Shaking off the dust of this ugly pit, our
engine takes new life and stretches herself
for a race across the Jersey flats. Here is a.
plain of thousands of acres lying between
New York and Newark which has hitherto
lain an idle desert. Yet- it is the richest of
soils, being composed of decayed vegetable
matter to an unknown depth. The trouble
is, it is below the level of extreme perigee
tides, and liOw to keep the salt water oil‘-
has been the problem which has racked
many a brain. Earth dikes were thrown
up, but the rats and musk-rats would soon
riddle them. Traps and bullets were
brought into requisition, but the vermin
thrived under persecution. At length PIKE
came—not the fish, but the Opera House
Pike—the Whiskey Pike. He purchased
the entire plain lying between the Passaic
and the Hackensack rivers ;. dikes,‘ salt
marshes, rats and all. He renewed the
dikes and lined them with iron plates, bored
below low water mark and extending above
high water mark. He then began a system
of thorough drainage with outlets through
‘ his dikes by means of flood gates which the
tide cottld not penetrate. The result is a
complete triumph; Vermin and salt water
are held at bay, the soil, which was before
spongy and wet, becomg a line dry mould,
upon turning it up to the air; and this sea-
son, coru, potatoes, cabbage and every kind
of garden truck have been raised where
never aught grew before save the coarsest
grass. Mr. Pike proposes to commence leas-
ing garden plots next Spring at a mere
nominal rate, to any party desirous of taking
them for improvement. With Railroads
crossing the flats in every direction, and
several cities at the door, an experienced
market gardener would soon find a mine of
gold in that virgin soil.
But we are across this miniature prairie
in less time than it would take to read this
account of it, and flying over the Passaic
River we enter Newark through the air,
scaling the tops of the houses that skirt the
shores, and striking terra firma first at the
Depot, as if we had just- lauded from some
other sphere.
Newark holds the same relation to New
York that Lynn does to Boston. Connected
by no less than three distinct Railroads, it is
the great back-shop of the Metropolis, I had
almost said the great shoeshop. You can-
not turn your head, without seeing enormous
signs on Manufactories of Leather, Patent
Leather, Boots, Shoes, Carpet Bags, and
every conceivable fabric in which leather is
an element.

Consumption.
The Three Remedies, “SCHENCK’S PULMONIC
SYRUP," for the cure of Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis
and every form of Consumption. The peculiar ac-
tion of this medicine ripeus the ulcers In the lungs,
promotes the discharge of the corrupt matter by ex-
pectoratlon, urifies the blood, and that! cares Con-
sum tlou, w en every other remedy fails.
“ CHENCK’S SEA-WEED TONIC." for the cure
of Dyspepsia or Indigestion, and sll,diseases arising
from debility. This tonic invigorates the digestive
organs. supplies the place of the astric juice when
that is, deficient and then enables tfie patient to digest
the most nutritious food. it is a sovereign remedy
for all cases of indi cation.
“ SCHENCK’S l ANDRAKE PILLS.” one of the
most valuable medicines ever discovered, being a ve-
getable substitute for calomcl, and having all the
useful roperties ascribed to that mineral, without
produc ng any of its liaiurlous effects.
To these three reme lea Dr. J. H. Schenck of Phila-
do] his, owes his unrivalled success in the treatment
of ulmouic Consumption. The Pulmonic Syrup
ripeus the morbid matter, discharges it, and purifies
the blood. The Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,
remove all obstructions therefrom, ive the or an a
healthy tone, and cure Liver Com in at, which it one
of the mostpromiuent causes of onsum tion. The
Seaweed Tonic invigorates the powers oft e stomach,
andbyestreuvthuinv the digestion and bringing it to
a normal and healtby condition improves the quality
of the blood..by which means the formation of ulcers
or tubercles in the lungs becomes impossible. The
combined action of these medicines, as thus explain-
ed, will curc every case of Consumption, if the reme-
dies sre used in time, and the use of them is perse-
vered in sufiicicutly to bring the case to a favorable
termination.

CONSUMPTION AND CANCER CURED.
Witt-nun, Mass, Nov. 12, 1868.
, My grandmother and several aunts and cousins
died of consumption. My mother had a cancer; I was
taken with a bad coutgh which had affected me 18
months; 12 months a tcr 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 afi‘ected,‘ and a cancer in each
breast. Consumption and cancer seemed to struggle
which would destroymc first. I had sufi'ercd much
from dyspepsia. Your remedies, with the concentra-
ted cancer mineral sprin I water have wholly- cured
me. I have been perfect y well fortwo months; no
couch or expectoration; no swelling in my breasts:
no yspcpsia; no pain or suffering. Everywhere I
am strong and able to perform all my duties.. I took
medicines four months.
— Thankfully yours.
