FOR eovnnNOR,
MARSHALL JEWELL, of Hartford.
' .FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR,
‘ MORRIS TYLER, of New Haven.

The State ,Convcntion.
A detailed report of the proceedings of
the Republican State Convention will be
found elsewhere. The, representation was
very large, considering the severity of the
storm which prevailed. the day previous.
Thc'utmost harmony prevailed and a confi-
dent feelinglthat success would crown the
efforts of our party in the coming election.
From all parts of the State came the . same
testimony—Gov. Jewell will have a larger
vote next April than last year, because he
is better known by the people. The new
candidate for Lieut. Governor is one of the
most popular of New Haven’s sons, and de-
servedly so. He has several times been
elected Mayor in that democratic strong-
hold and will receive support of honest men
now, who do not belong to the Republican
organization. The skies are bright. On to
victory! .
PunLgo BENEFACTORS.—We think we are
justified in commonding to the public grati-
tude certain of our citizens, who during the
winter have kindly undertaken, and accom-’
plished too, the task of breaking paths after
each snow storm. Messrs. Fred Betts and
Moody have thus favored pedestrians 'on
East avenue, during the winter, and Chas.
Sherwood, having improvised a. snow plough
after the last storm worked a fine path from
near the Union Factory to the old Mott
place. Thanks gentlemen, for such a con-
spicuous exhibition of kindness and good
citizenship. ~There is but one possible ob-
jection to this sort of thing—building lots
and family residences will always be high
in villages where such things are toleratcd.
Col. Colycr’o Lecture.
Contrary to the general rule of merely
descriptive Lectures that of Col. Colyer last
week was not only exceedingly entertain-
ing, but abounded in new and important in-
formation,which every intelligent person
was eager to receive. The Ha! was dis-
mally and inexcusably cold from which the
audience suffered much discomfort, never-
theless all.seemed loath that the speaker.
should stop. The Colonel’s style is easy,
graceful and natural, and the matter he
serves up so fresh and intensely interesting
that many pronounce it the most profitable
lecture of the course, and the desire seems
quite general to have it repeated. We wish
it might be.

[E‘A dismal joke got into circulation last
week that conductor Hoyt had “shuffled otf
' this mortal coil,” in fact, was dead ! As all
arose from a misinterpretation of one of
“Hezekiah's” jokos, and friend Hoyt will‘
contiuuc, we rejoicc to say, to collect the
editorial fares, along with all the rest of
mankind, just the same as if nothing had
happenod. This is not quite as gross a joke
after all, as the one perpcrtratcd somotime
' since in consequence of the blundering of a
~ New York tolegraph operator. A dispatch
being sent to a family in town, to have the
“Horse” at the Depot on arrival of the p.m.
Express, the operator got it Hearse, and 10,
when a jolly fishing party landed on the plat-
form, instead of thovhomcstead dobbin, there
stood Quintard’s dismal ambulancc, rcady
for duty, with vexation, bewilderment and
terror depicted in every lincament of the
face of the author of thcunlucky dospatch.
W'l‘he slight “touch of winter” last
week gave us two or three days of quite

It is needless‘for us to repeat what we
have before stated, that we deem Mr. Beech-
er’s new religious newspaper the verybest
of its kind in tho country. We likc its mat-
ter, its spirit, its brains, and its make up
and get up mechanically, above and beyond
that of any religious journal in the land.
We will qualify in nothing, if they will just
let us off on-its “head” wherein the en-
graver‘s attempcd art has spoiled much of
the “ sweet simplicity” of its very compact
and convenient form and clear and beauti-
ful typography. Thus believing, we were
more than provoked last week, by observ-
ing that our compositor had failed to
attach a credit-headline (which we were
careful to interline) to that exquisitely writ-
ten article on our outside, on the subject
'matter of tobacco smoking. We had cor-
rectly surmised itsvauthorship upon reading
it in the Union, as from the gifted pen of
that child of genius, Sam Wilkeson, and we
hasten now to do him and, the Union full
amends for our accidental wrong.

Our savings Banks.
Few, we imagine, over think of tho im-
mense value to our State and to our own
immediate locality, of our system of Savings
Banks. Like charity, they ‘eonfer double
blessings. They bless first, a large class of
the producing element in our body POlificr
who are peculiarly exposed to the tempta-
tions of iluprovidencc. By their conven-
ience in admitting deposits, they encourage
the saving of small sums that otherwise
would slip away, to little or no advantage
to the possessor. They afford a ready and
safe means of fleeing out at interest, the
funds possessed by such as have littlo knowl-
edge and less experience in matters of finan-
cial investment. Thus by the aggregation
of small sums at one central institution,
money is at the command of responsible
borrowers who are interested in projecting
or conducting manufactories, of erecting
stores and houses, and promoting the gene-
ral growth andthrift of a community. But
to no class of persons are these Banks so
great a boon as to the laboring poor man,
who by dint of hard work and prudent liv-
ing has been able to purchase a homestead
lot and to secure a home for his wife and
little ones, needs the assistance to pay for
the house he desires to build. He would
not dare to loan of an individual, for tempt-
ed by avarice when money was hard to get,
or resulting upon unforseen necessity, the
lender might be compelled to draw in his
loan when the poor man least was able to
pay it, and thus the toils and savings of
years be sacrificed in a forced recovery of
the money. Not so, the Savings Bank. Its
loans if well and safely made, can ordinarily
remain until the borrower desires to pay up.
It is no exaggeration to assert that hundreds
have built houses and secured themselves
homes who never would have thus ventured
but for this established principle of the
Savings Bank’s loans. It is for this reason
that the law-makers of Connecticut have
granted these institutions special privileges
in the matter of discounting interest and the
like. There is probably not a State in the
whole Union where they are so carefully
and prudently managed as in Connecticut.
Those gentlemen who' conserve these im-
portant and now enormously valuable in-
terests, in the capacity of Directors, give
their time and attention to the duty entirely
without compensation, and very rarely can
it be charged, (as is sometimes justly dOne
in other corporations) that a Savings Bank
is organized to provide a place and support
for parties who cannot otherwise obtain a
living. Of those officers, too, who have the
immediate management of these institutions
and who are paid for their services, no class
of equally capable, responsible men can be
found in any other department of financial
business, who as a rule, roccivc so moderate
salaries, so that in any aspect we look at
the Savings Bank, it is a blessing to the
community. This being so, is it not for the
personal interest of every citizen to promote
their growth and prosperiiy in the communi-
ty where he lites? We are led to these reflec-
tions by accidentally learning the fact, that
in a single Savings Bank in the City of New
York (and a very profitable advertising cus-
tomer in ourcolumns, too) over fifty thou-
sand dollars is held in trust for dopositors
in and about Norwalk! We have knowl.
edge of two other city Savings Banks where
smaller sums are held, belonglng to resi-
dents of our place, and there are, doubtless,
not every property~llolder here, yea every
laboring man and serving woman who gets
a living here directly interested in every
new house that goes up, in every new resi"
dent attractor] to Norwalk, in all that helps
the growth and promotes the general well-
being of our own community. We are sure
a little reflcction would idnuce this conclll~
sion—'-No banks anywhere are more safely
or prudently managed than those of Con-
necticut, and the two in our town are no ex-
ccption to the rule, while none in the teat
cities can be thus economically adminis erod.
Individuals may do moro than they at first
imagine in directing this constant stream of
monicd deposits in the monster concerns of
New York City,—and so long as equal
advantages are secured to depotitors at
home, it bocomes the moral duty cf every
one to foster our own “home institutions.”

ture of the duty clear to all concerned, and

Tnscmsns’ MEETING.— The Norwalk
Teachrrs’ Association will hold its next
regular meeting at Miss Beecher’s School
Rooms, Monday evening, Feb. 215t. This
Association is accomplishing a good work,
and the meetings are continually becoming
more interesting and profitable. At the
last meeting about thirty teachers were pres-
ent, together with school officers, and quite
a large number of citizens. _
Tho programme for each evening con-
sists of class exercises, essays and discus-‘
cions, all bearing upon the important ques-
tion,“ How can we elovate the character of
our schools ?” The question for discussion
next Monday evening “ Shall the Bible be
discarded froln our public schools ?” ought
to interest a large portion of the community.
Not only teachers, but the public are in-
v‘itod to attend these meetings, and all pres-
cut will be invited to take part in the dis-
enussions.

WSt. Valentino, the patron saint of the
Post Office Department, had it all his own
way yesterday, and many school girls were
made happy or indignant by sentimental Or
“comic" missives. Since the passage of the
law compelling prepayment of postage,
however, the practice of sending insulting
letters and courso pictures has not been the
rage as it formerly was.

[3" A man named William Brennan (not
“ Sir William”, who is at‘prcsent an attache
of the Town Farm) at well known Irishman
of intcnlperate habits, was taken to the Lock
Up last Tuesday night, for drunkenness.
About 10 o’clock, Frank Foster, 01' the police
force, who has charge of the institution, left
his beat and went down to look after the
prisoner. He gave him a drink of warm
tea, and put him to bed; in the morning at
six o’clock, after coming off duty, he gave
him a drink of water, and at eight o’clock
eat nothing. He seemed thcn to be as well,
as usual, but at about 10 o’clock a. m., he
died. While in the Lock Up hcse'ems to have
had good care, and the wonder is, not that
he died, but that he lived so long tinder his

ADDRESS OF sENATon BUCKINGHAM.
Gentlemen of the Convention—I feel grate-
ful for the honor of being selected as tho
presiding officor of this convention. Ever
sflce the people of Connecticut first called
me to occup a public position, I have had
reason to foo that the had confidence in
me, and to-dsy I have, can put under still
greater obligations. I acknowledge the de bt,
but shall never bo ablc to pay it. I con-
gratulato you upon the success which has
oton.
'thiDState during the past year. ' It is no
small thing, I assure you, to rcducc the Stats
debt one or two hundred thousand dollars
in one year. It shows that your officers
havo been true in the past and will be so in
the future. Your governor has becomo more
universally known than he was a year ago,
and we are unhappy to know that he has
doneebetter than oven his friends expected.
Your treasurer has done wellgtoo, as I see
by the report. He has not followed the ex-
ample of his predecessor in loaning the
money of the State. I don’t think he has
stolen very much. (Laughton) When the
full record is made 11 and writtcn, we shall
have great reason to a proud of it. Whils
we havo good men in office, I sometimes
wish that election day would never comc,
but when they arc bad, I always wish it
might come earl . I have great confidence
that the resulto the coming election will
bo favorable not only for the interest of tho
Statc, but for the national government.
There are many quostions of public intorest
which I do not intend to discuss at lcn th
but in which you feel a deep intcrcst.
work of reconstruction is ncarly complete;
States are boing brought back to their nat-
uralrolation to the general government, and
when that is accomplished tho overnmont
will rest on surer principles of liberty than
bcforc. (Applause) There is no quostion
more important at this time than that of the
finances. Ono fact is apparent. Business
is not satisfactory, and it is attributable to
the irredoemablc currency in circulation,
which tends to excite speculation. It is the
most important quostion, andtbe American
people should let thcir representatives know
that. they wish the adoption of such meas-
ures as will bring us back to a sound spa-
cie basis with as little friction as possible.
One very important fact is that we are to-
day exporting much :less than we jmport.
We are either getting in debt .to. people
abroad or are sending monoy away to thorn.
Any, individual who spends more than he
roccives cannot get rich. It is true we are
developing our resources, but if we would
maintain our relative position with other
nations wc must export moro than we im-
port. It is a matter of history, that when
people are afflicted with a depreciated cur-
rency, the best currency leaves the country.
Our prices have increased. The American
market is tho highest in the world; 'It is all
owing to our in ated currency. Our mar-
hot is the best in the world to sell in, but
the poorest to buy in. It is the duty of tho
people to show the men in public position
that we want them to take such a courso as
will bring the currency back to a spocic ba-
sis. ' A few months ago gold was 184; now
_it is 121. Who, of a l the producers and
business men, has boon injured by it? If
we can bring geld down to 121, why can
we not bring it down to par? Senator
Buckingham closed by again thanking the
convention, and asking what would be the
next business. ‘

MR. TYLER NOMINATED.
A. Beers, of New Haven, moved that the
nomination of Mr. Tyler be made by ac-
clamation. It Was put and carried without
a dissenting voice.
Tun RESOLUTIONS
were then read by General Hawley. They
were as follows :
Resolved, 1. We look with profound sat-
faction and gratitude upon tho record of the
republican party,«its devotion to liberty and
equal rights, its abundant patriotism In war,
and its zealous fidelity to the true interests
and honor of the country in time of peace.
We return our cordial approval of its na-
tional platform adopted at Chicagoz and the
resolutions of the last state convention.
Resolved, 2. The experience of the past
ear has confirmod our confidence in the
Integrity, ability, and patriotism of General
Grant. We congratulate him and the coun-
try upon the general and increasing preva-
lence of peace and good order, In the lately
rebellious states, the rapidly approaching
completion of reconstruction, and the adop-
tion by thirty states of the fifteenth amend-
ment of the national constitution, tho crown-
ing wOrk of a , magnificent struggle for the
fieedom and ego] rights of all men.
Resolved, 3. he national administration
deserves the warmest praise for its econom-
ical expenditures, and its scrupulous fidelity1
in the collection of the. revenue, throu
which it has been able to reduce the (it: t
ovor eighty millions since March 1st, 1869
and we accept its action as amply fulfills
the hopes and pledges of its friends, and
justifying the highest expectations of Its fu-
ture. -
Rcsolwd, 4. That the first act of Congress
under the administration was in accordance
with our declaration of the true polio last
year; a formal afilrmation that w on e na-
tional debt is paid it must be in com-except
where it is otherwise especially provided in
the original contract, and .solemnly_ pledg-
ing the United States to make provision at
the earliest racticable period for the r -
demption of United States notes in coin.”
We denounce repudiation in all forms,
whether through taxation of the bonds, or
their payment in paper. We are ,stoutl
opposed to expansion of the currency. e
call for all possible wise legislation, and
prudent management of tho finances,_by
which wemay as speedily as possible, With-
out a violent disturbance of business,‘ re-
sume specie payment and with it obtain a
sound and uniform currency of coin and of
paper immediatel convertible into coin, bo~
lieving that no ot or currency will necure
the just rewards of either labor or capital.
Resolved, 5. In both national and state
administration, we call for a continuance of
strict economy in all branches, the rejection
of all appropriations or loans of credit for
enterprises outside of tho indispensable Ina-
‘chinery of government, the impartial levy
and vigilant and thoroughly honest collec-
tion of taxes, the application of a reasona-
ble loan annually to the reduction of the
debt, the removal of taxation from the neces-
saries of life, andtheir imposition so far as
possible upon luxuries. .
Reached, 6; We favor a tariff abundant
for revenuc,and as far as possiblo so devised

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
ACABD.
While I am aware of the bad taste of
bringing personal mattcrs to notice through
the public printg, I can see no other way in
which I may reply to the unjust strictures
upon my professional conduct which were
made yesterday from the pulpit of the First
Congregational Church.
I appeal to the First Congregational Soci-
ety, and to the music-loving people of Nor-
walk, against thc arbitrary censure upon
my organ-playing, pronounced by the pas-
tor. The principles by which I ‘lm govern-
ed in my playing in church are precisely
those laid down in the sermon referred to:
-—I have at 1 times endeavored to make it
strictly chl eh-like, and have carefully
avoided anything like a dis lay of execu-
tion, as well as anything that might in any
music, to the music itself,‘or to. the per—form-
er; and, it is with perfect confidence that I
shall be" sustained by all competent to judge,
that I claim to‘ have succeeded in these re-
spects, however deficient my performances
may appear from a strictly musical point of
view. ALEX. S. GIBSON,
‘ Organist First Cong’l Church.
NORWALK, Feb. 7, ’70.
EDITORS GAZETTE:
Dear Sirs :—-I have been
favored with a copy of a Card which the Or-
ganist of the Congregational Church pro-
‘posos to publish to-morrow. The Organist
has mistaken the point of the strictures
he refers to. That point was intentionally
not fully brought out. It can be so if the
Organist desires, and there will be no
difficulty in establishing it. I‘do not, how-
ever, propose a newspaper controversy in
this matter. It belongs to tho Congrega-
tional Church. I only add that most of the
remarks that seem to have disturbed the 0r-
ganist were written, as every listener must
have understood, before I knew of his exist-
ence. PASTOR. ,

‘ SIRS :—I see, by a
late decision of Chief Justice Chase, of the
United States Supreme Court, that all scon-
tracts made prior to June 25th, ’62, are pay-
able in gold. In the year 1861, I made a
contract to serve the United States Govern-
ment for a period of three years unless soon-
or discharged. I was discharged at a time
when gold was selling for $2.80 on the dol-
lar greenback. Will you please tell me
where to apply for the balance due, having
only ‘ received greenbacks to the dollar
amount of my contract.

SOUTII N ORWALK.—Thc criminal record
of our village has been somewhat increased
within the last six weeks, owing to the vigi-
lance of our Night Watchmen, but the
amount Of drunkenness and rowdyism has
been sensibly diminished, at least there is
much less open, shameless disregard of the
decencies of society than formerly. The
records show that the disturbances before
complained of, were, to a considerable ex-
tent, made by persons belonging to other
an efficient police, and often made the night
hideous by their lawless revelry._ If any
additional arguments were needed to con-'
vince the people that we need an efiieicnt

records ofour Justice Courts will furnish
them in abundance.
