The Belult.
The Courant gives the result of the late
election, as follows :—Thc majority for Gov 1
ernor English is 810. The vote for Gover-
nor Jewell is 43,320, for Governor English,
44,130: total, 8 7,450.. The total one year
ago was 90,575,ineluding 10 scattering. The
decrease is 3,125. The republican -vote is
2,173 less : the democratic vote 952 less.
The house, as nearly as We can ascertain,
stands z—Republican’s, 127 ; democrats, 112;
republican majority 15. Last year the legis-
lature was republican; the senate 13 to S;
the house by 22 majority.
—'___—._—_-.=
6%" Now that the smoke of battle has
cleared away and we are able to calmly sur-
vey the field, it becomes more evident that
so far as the 12th Senatorial District is con-
cerncd, Senator Hoyt made, under all the
circumstance, a most creditable rdn. We
doubt if any other Republican of the entire
district could have done so well. When we
consider the entire exceptional character of
the contest and the influences and appliances
brought to bear upon the contest, we are
satisfied that it was only the honorable and
satisfactory course of the Senator last year
that saved us from utter rout and demorali-
zation. No new candidate with an unmade
record could have waged the unequal war-
fare and saved. so much from the wreck as
did Col. Hoyt. The anomalous character of
our vote is in no wise due to any fault with,
or want of confidence in Col. Hoyt. Indeed
we know that Governor Jewell’s vote was
augmented by Col. Hoy t’s personal popu-
larity. Nor will the District forget or igr
nore its obligations to the Colonel in the
years which are to come.
It?“ We understand a movement is in con:
templation to ask the next Legislature to in-
corporate South N orwalk from the southern
boundary-0f our Borough, into a city to be
denominated “ The City of Nol’waik.” We
. believe either a borough or city corporation
imperatively required, and if properly
formed, would prove beneficial to all.

“ Lot Do Have Pegce.”
So concludes a South Norwalk correspon-
dent, who refers to the local discussions
which have been m‘o‘rc or less rife there .for
a year past. We most heartily second the
motion. We have expressed our views ful-
ly and somewhat forcibly upon recent
events, and while we shall never approve
the fidelity and wisdom of the course many
of our Republican friends have seen fit to
take, we are nevertheless glad tollet by-
gones be bygones, and buckle on the armor
for a renewal of the conflict under more en-
couraging auspices. No good can come of
constant taunts and bickerings, , and hoping
for better luck and a better exhibition of fi-
delity to principle next time, we propose to
dismiss the subject editorially and through
correspondents. “ Let us have peace.”

We understand that our favorite steamer
will commence her regular trips between
Norwalk and New York on Wednesday,
April 20th. The Boat has been furnished
with new patent wheels which it is expected
will somewhat reduce the running time;
has been thoroughly overhauled, repainted,
upholstered and put in complete order for
the summer campaign. Mr. White has
done all_that he can do, and now it remains
for the people to show their appreciation of
his efforts. ,

of our Boiough vitality, was r-the celerity
with which our streets were cleared of mud
and filth after the recent heavy rains. Mon-

the public a service, by his promptness.
The tax-payers do not grumble when their
money is thus expended. '

the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. was held in
the Congregational church on Sunday
evening last. Addresses were made by
Revs. Bissell, Gates, Havens’ and Dr. J. E.
Barbour. A statement of the present con-
dition and needs of the Association was
given, and urgent appeals made to the peo-
ple to sustain the organization by liberal
contributions. The Association is capable of
doing a good work in the community if
properly supported, but loses its influence.

THE FUNERAL or GEN. Tamas—The
last funeral rites at Troy, over the remains of
that model American soldier, General
Thomas, were imposing and impressive.
The President, in his personal attendance,
has shown that he fully comprehends and
shares in the universal public feeling in ref-
erence to the hero of Mill Spring, Stone
River, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Frank-
lin and Nashville. A telegram from Mr.
Lincoln has just been made public giving
his estimate of Gen. Thomas’s movement at
Chickamauga, in these words :—“I hasten
to say that, in the state of information we
have here, nothing could be more ungra-
cious than to indulge in any suspicion to-
ward Gen. Thomas. It is doubtful whether
his heroism and skill echs'bitcd last Sunday qf-
ternoon has ever been surpassed in the world.

a?“ The Rev. Mr. Foote gave a most in-
teresting account of his labors in the Epis-
copal mission at Salt Lake City, at Trinity
Chapel, on Sunday last. The government
would accomplish vastly more in the de-
struction of this “twin relic of barbarism”
by supporting such missions, than in all the
Congressional enactments which can be
framed. It would be murderous stupidity
to combat this religious fanaticism with the
military power of the government.

sake of our people and the fair fame of our

shall prove the greater _ attraction on that
evening. The subject of. her lecture is “ In-
doors,” and gives a picture of what , home
and home-life may become under the holy
influences of the good husband, and the
good wife and mother. We have ourselves
listened to this lecture and can certify that
'those who would enjoy the “ other side " of
the woman question, (as presented by Anna
Dickinson and other lady,lecturers,) have a
very rare treat in store. Especially ought
the children of our families and schools be
permitted to see and hear her, and to this
end the admission for them has been put at
half price. Diagrams will be found 'at Sel-
leck’s and Purdy’s, and any one who may
attend and should feel that they had failed
to receive their money's worth, may call up-
on us, as we will guarantee restitution in
all such cases. Reserved seats may be so-
cured at any time, and we would advise our
friends from New Canaan, Wilton, West-

possible. _ '
On Wednesday evening, at the same place
that world-renowned orator, JOHN B. Gouerr,

be an extra provision of seats supplied to
accommodate all who may come. Mr. Gough
moreover, will have no struggling compe-
tition with the circus, or if he had, so well
is he known hereabouts, that he would cut-
draw the elephants. Two such intellectual
repasts as Grace Greenwood and Gough, the

Danbury gave an average of 150 majority
on the Republican State ticket at the recent
election, to 26 last year, while her worthy
and honored son, D.P. Nichols, our State
Treasurer, had a vote of 775—or 21 more
than the highest number on the State ticket.
His administration of the Treasury has been
so conspicuously successful that we are con-
fident the ofilcial vote will show him to be
largely ahead of his party ticket. All hail
however, to the working Republicans of
Danbury. ' '

NEW YORK Omens—This famous eques-
trian establishment, better known as Lent’s
iron-built Hippotheatron in Fourteenth St.,
New York City, commences its excursion
season next week, making their first stop at
Norwaik, where they will drive stakes on
Monday, April 18th. The management has
added many fresh novelties to this always
attractive and very superior Circus Troupe,
not the least important of which, is the aug-
mentation of the musical department. This
year the Band comprises twenty-five brass,
and reed instruments, played by musicians
of the highest reputation. This is the lar-
gest, and by all odds, the mast expensive
orchestral demonstration ever made at a
circus. The “~Musical Brigade, ” as it has
been styled, is equipped in full uniform of
the finest and most cotsly description, copied
from the costumes of the celebrated French
Imperial Celftury Guard, and cost over $150
for each suit. The organization is perfectin
every particular ; the band plays all the
most popular music of the day, besides sp-
peering in the outside procession. The sal—
cries of . this corps are said to equal those of
the entire troupe of ordinary circus compa-
nies. With such superior music and eques-
trian attractions as the New York Circus
now presents, it must, as amatter of course,
take the lead of all the rest ; especially,
when it Claims to have among its members
the three greatest rider's of the period, viz:
——M’Ile Rolland, who has no equal in Eu-
rope or America upon a bareback horse:
J amcs Melville and his infant son Alexan-

greatest somersault rider in existence. N 0
other institution can boast of such a crowd
of talent; and none, we will venture to say
has ever heretofore ventured upon such an
extravagantadventure in the music way.

SOUTH NOBWALK.
In your issue of last week, I find an article headed
South Norwalk, as follows :—“ Whatever complaint
mayjustly be made against the fidelity of certain
South Norwslk Republicans, one thing in common
fairness must be afiirmed ofthose that remained true
and worked to the end. Scores of our friends there
worked with a‘zealand earnestness deserving of all
praise. When censure ls given let it not full upouthe
heads of the noble men who worked resolutely and
upon principle to the last."
All right, only let the censure fall alike upon all
the unfaithful, and not upon a part only. I have
been a resident and voter of South Nor-walk some six
orseven years, and attached to and Identified with
the Republican party since its organization. Siuee'l
came here, and up to last Spring the party in South
Norwalk has ever presentedan unbroken front, mov-
ing unltedly in a solid phalanx In the discharge of
its high duties,—uo ignoring of nominations, or
principles. Last year the scene changed; men hou-
ored and elevated by the Republican party, came out
openly and defiantlyagsllnst the nomination, and
the party, I say the party, for a man when placed
regularly in nomination becomes so by the will and
act of his party, and the party Is the author and own-
ership of the nomination, not he himself; and yet,
members of the Caucus by which our candidate was
nominated, striving hard, yet failing to secure the
nomination of their particular favorite, not only it:-
nored the binding obligation imposed byhthelr par-
tlclpsting tn the Caucus, but defiantly repudiated the
acts of the party. And some even in casting their
votes, boasted of their contempt of party obligations
by showing their tickets cast against the regular
nomination. So rampant was this spirit that the
Writer of this, called upon Mr. Cummings (of the
State Committee,) requesting him to labor with these
gentlemen. Mr. Cummings did come and labor with
them. The effects of his labors and this bolting
spirit fully manifested itself in the result of the elec-
tion, by sending from this strong Republican town a
full fledged democrat to the Legislature. This was
indeed a bitter dose for “ the noble few who worked
resolutely and upon principle to the last.” And that
it should have left with some a little heart burning
and political acerbity, is a frailty incident 'to poor
human nature. No doubt the effects of such a feeling
operated upon the election this Spring. I have heard
one or two Republicans of long standing, say they
had made up their minds to act hereafter with the
Democratic party; and others say they took but little
interest in the election this Spring, so disgusted were
they with the the result of last Spring’s-electiou, and
besides, the bolting became so general last season as
no doubt to lead some to believe that it could be re.
peated this Spring without just cause for censure.
cans tinctured slightly, at least, with Democratic
predilections. among whom are those who have given
liberally, and labored faithfully for the Republican
cause. '
, . If Judgement is tobe pronounced, who is to ad-
minister tho ceasures, and let me ask, where Is the
distinction between the culpability of the bolters of
this Spring, and of last Spring. Another election
day will soon roll round. In looking at the State
ticket elected, we can but hope it may come speedily.
As members of a political party guided by the high-
est devotion to principle, and the maintenance of
law. order and good government, let me ask, if in-
stead of indulging in political blckerings, we had not
better try to close up the breach by retracing wrong
steps, acting fairly in a spirit of reconciliation, and
byappealing to a sentiment of loyalty and public
duty. .
There are two traits of the Democratic party which
constitute strong elements of strength :-one isthelr
almost universal attendance on elections, and the
other is’thelr unswerving fidelity to party. Unpleas-
ant weath'er does not prevent them from getting to
the polls, and to ofi'er them a ticket tinctured in any
degree with Republicanism, would, to the great mass
of the party. be regarded almost as great an insult
as to ask them to deny their religion. Such fidelity
commands the admiration of even political oppo-
nents, and this devotion to party gave to them in
the recent election political ascendancy in this State-
Were the Republican party imbued with such asplrlt
they would have secured this Spring not only‘ the
election of State officers but all their candidates in
Republican districts by good majorities. In this re-
spect let us imitate the Democrats. Let us heal our
in terns! dimensions. Let us have peace.” J.

OUR REPRESENTA TIVE.
The two gentlemen who are to represent
Norwalk in the Legislature this year are not
as wellknown abroad as some other. mem-
bers may be, but they will nevertheless be
found to be superior men in all matters of
Legislation. Mr. Craw was first Selectman
in Norwalk for many years, and although
ofa quiet, retiring disposition few will be
more keenly on the alert for whatever may
affect the welfare of the State or his con-
stituency. He is a man of great caution
and very superior judgment and no citizen
of Norwalk better understands the needs
of the town or what measures will best
subserve the general welfare.
- - Mr. Baker, the member from the South
Village is a gentleman of superior judg-
ment and fine business accomplishnfe nt
Bred to mercantile life and familiar with
financial interests, he will be a most valua-
ble and popular working member of the
House.
