DEAR GAZETTE :—Spring has come again4
, “with birds and flowers" as the ample
grounds of the CapitOl attest. The flower
beds are gaudy and fragrant with gaudy hy-
iiigsacinths of every degree and shade of color;
while the more majestic orown imperials
terminate the borders in less fragrant pro-
fusion. Nurses, babies, and birds now fill
the grounds, and if one can keep his,eyes
011‘ the avenues and surroundings, he really
'- . becomes enthusiastic over the fresh Ipring
beauty of the Capitolonian yards.
In doors, the Senate is still. floundering
over reconstruction in Georgia. Mr. Ferry
made a short, crisp speech yesterday in re-
ply to Williams of Oregon, _who proposes to
legialate for a State election in that State
next fall. , ' .
A caucus of Republican Senators has been
held the past three mornings to listen to
charges brought by Senator Colo of Califor-
nia, against Col. Gorham, Senate Secretary,
who it seems was a former li'iend of the
Senator’s, but who have latterly quarreled.
The conclusion seemed to be that the Pa-
cific linen should be cleansed in a private
way and we presume this ugly hatchet will
be ground to an even edge, or buried by in-
tercession of mutual friends. '
In the House, the Tariff and other matters
of legislation are being considered. we
chanced to hear a portion of an able, and to-
our mind, entirely conclusiv argument from
Judge Kelly on the Bill for International
Coinage, enabling, “that-the gold hereafter
coined bythe United States shall contain for
each dollar of denominational value one and
one-half grammes of pure gold, and shall
weigh for each dollar one and two-thirds
grammes, the proportion of alloy to the en-
tire weight being thus kept as one to tea.”
The bill also provides “that such coins
shall have stamped upon thdtn, in addition
to their devices, their weight in grammes
and the inscription nine-tenths fine.
He stated that the gold coinage of a large
number of countries, representing a popula-
tion of upwards of two hundred millions, was
already very nearly metrics/l, specifying the
countries and the degrees of divergenoe in
each case from the metric standard. .
Mayor Wood’s Committee to “investigate”
Gen. Howard, met yesterday. In' addition
to the committee, there were present, Mr._
Wood and his counsel, Mr. Jos. H. Bradley,
and Gen. Howard and Mr. Kotcham, a law-
yer from New York, who appeared as the
'counsel for Mr. Howard. The names of six
witnesses whom he desired summoned, were
presented to' the committee .by Mr. Wood.
The Genoral’s friends feel entii'oly sure of
his triumphant vindication. ~
The Vice President was made inexpreséi-
bly happy by Wind of a fine, bouncing
hey baby at hi ome, just' as the Senate
me“ about being called to order. Mr. An-
thony willingly took the chair and the genial
Colibx repaired to Head-quarters.
Cyrus W. Field is now here cndeavoring
to get a charter from Congress for an ocean
I telegraph line from the Pacific coast to Chi-
ns and Japan via the Sandwich Islands.
When this line is constructed Mr._Field says
there will be a continuous line of telegraph
all round the world. '
Miss Kate Logan (sister of Olive) has been
spending the winter amid the gayeties of
Washington society, as the guest of General

The disbursements from the Treasury De'
partment, since the 1st instant, have been
less than ever expended in‘ a similar period
during the past ten years. ' ' .
A statement of the gross collCeIiQI of in-
ternal revenue since the organization of the
bureau in 1863, shows the amount collected
to June 30, 1809, to be $1,297,325,838.01.
The receipts for the present fiscal year are
estimated at $175,000,000. The people can
form some idea of the taxable virtue of the
United States. It is now kn than a year
since the Treasury began to redeem its
Bonds and over a-hundred and four millions
have been taken up.
Commissioner Parker, himself an Indian,
of the Indian bureau, yesterday dispatched
a large package, containing papers of vac-
cine virus, to the West for distribution
among the Indian superintendencies, with.
instructions that they be used at once. Ow-
ing to the frightful mortality that follows the
introduction of 'small-pox into a tribe, the
Commissioner has given instructions to su~
perintendents to have all the Indians in their
charge vaccinated, and to make full returns
in July, on blanks carefully prepared for the
purpose, of the number of Indians unpro-
tected from small-pox, the number vacci-
nated and the number of successful vacci-
nations. '
General Schofield, it is said, will be as-
signed to the command of the military
division of the Pacific, made vaoant by the
death of General Thomas. ,
A good story is out on Senator Nye who
put his new silk tile carelessly upon the sofa.
A few minutes after the veteran philosopher
Greely sat down upon and crushed the hat
fearfully. "‘ Damn it,’—’ roared Nye, “I could
have told you it wouldn’t fit, .before you
tried it on.” .
The chair now occupied by Senator Rev-
els is not the actual piece of furniture once
occupied by J efierson Davis, as has been
stated. . .
The newly designed post. office stamps,
brought out by direofion , of Postmaster
General, are now out. The stamps are uni-
form in size, which is about the same as that
of the stamps used prior to the introduction
of those now in use, and the idea of profile
busts are now carried out through the entire
series. These stamps will. be placed on solo
soon. The following is the official descrip-
tion of the new stamps: One cent—Frank-
lin; profile bust, after Rubrichtfi—i-perial
ultra-marine blue. Two cents—Jackson;
profile bust, after Powers—velvet brown.
Three cents—Washington; profile bust, sf:
., tor Houdon—milori green. Six cents—Lin-
coln; profile bust, after Volk—cochineal
'red. Ten cents—Jefferson; profile-bust
after Powers’ statue—chocolate. Twelve
cents—Clay; profile bust, after Hart—neu-
tral tint (purple.) Fifteen cents—Webster;
profile bust, after Clevenger—orange. Twen-
ty-four cents—Scott; profile bust, after
' Coffee—pure purple. Thirty cents-Hamil-
ton; profile bust, aftor Corrachi—black.
Nineteen cents—Commodore O. H. Perry;
profile bust, after Wolcott’s statu'e—carmine.

The national banks men have great hopes
that the House will modify the clause in the
Funding Bill relativefiio these banks, and
are making great efforts to bring this about.
The Secretary of the Treasury is equally
active in his efforts to have this section left
as it passed the Senate. There promises to
be a lively fight on this point, and many be-
lieve it will end in a general free Banking
Law. B.

Grace Greenwood, {To-Night. -
We most ardently hope to see a full house
at Lockwood’s Hall, this Monday evening, to
listen to the talented Authoress and Lee-'
turer,‘whose popular soubriquet heads this
article. _
We have heard from other lips what an
Arcadia of womanly powers, graces and
virtues this land is to become when woman
has her“ rights ” and can Vote, ride horse-n
baék as e and wear pants. From Mrs.
Lippincott in her Lecture “ In Doors?’ we
shall have a fine and touching analysis of
the female character as developed and dcvcl»
oping around the hearth~stoncs and firesidcs
of the’familfi—whdt the true woman, wife,
and mother is and should be, may be and
ought to be.
The theme, it is true, is not quite up to the
swollen currents of the woman question of
the period, and yet we are positive that the
Lords Of creation will approve its teachings
and earnestly wish there was more of it it
in vogue, while the gentler sex, will, we are
equally sure, add an enthusiastic amen to
.all the lecturer shall utter.
'No lady lecturer in the country so coin-
plctely annihilates the prejudices against
woman lecturers as Mrs. L.. There is
such a noble appreciation of the true
home and our congenial relations, and
the Lecture is withal so mommy, that we
trust every lover of a really superior intel-
lectual entertainment will make it a point
to attend. We trust, moreover, that some
special effort may be made to introduce the
children oflour schools,esp'ecially. the older
members, and to that end we are glad 'tO see
that they are to be admitted at half price.
One who is so widely known, so greatly ad-
mired, and tenderly beloved by the reading
people of this and other lands, should not
fail of awakening such a local interest here
as shall fill every seat in the Hall. Don’t
forget Lockwood’s Hall this Muddy evening,
at 8 o’clock. . ~ '
We find the following notice of this Lec-
ture in the Norwich Bullet-m :
“This brilliant writer favored us on Tuesdn night
with a specimen of her powers which ma e us as
hungry for more aswas poor Oliver Twist. and left
Ila, we fear, with as little chance of getting more as
he had. The title of the lecture is “ n-Doors ;” and
after some very neat remarks 0”]. M. Cleveland
introducing the lady. she commenced with a rapid
and keen eneral survey of the “ woman question.”
then pass g to the considerations of home life in its
various aspects. The subject was treated In a new ~
terly (or perhaps miles-In manner. The- lecturer
was not content with y general superficial view,
but seized noon the very heart of the matter, display-
ing the subject In all its varied lights andshades, iv-
ing'hcre a flash of humor and there the sombre t nts
of pathos. The pictures which she drew, whether
grave or gay, lively or severe, were as accurate in de-
: tall as the work of a re-Baphselite artist, and much
more grand and true n effect.
We would say, in short, that Mrs. Lippincott’sloc-
ture is a most thoroughly enjoyable. instructive, re- -
fined and refining production, worthy of her reputa-
tion as a writer and lecturer, and well calculated to
strike dismay into.the hearts of all believers in the
intellectual inferiority of woman." ‘
TABLEAUX VIVANTs.—-An entertainment
of Tableanx and Music is to be given in
Lockwood's Hall, two evenings of next
week. The programme will be found printed
elsewhere in to—day’s paper. Theladies and
gentlemen who. have charge of the affair
have excellent taste and large experience in
such matters, and we feel assured that the
Tableaux will be put upon the stage in the
most attractive manner possible and that ye
old folks will appear “ true to life and twice
as natural" without too much extravagance
or burlesque. We anticipate a very enjoya-
ble entertainment. _

As the performances .are to be entirely by
“local talent” the attendance will, of course,
be very large. ' '

WELCOME HOME—.MI‘. Jonathan Camp
and wife, and Mr. Asa Smith, wife and
wife’s sister returned Saturday from a win-
ter’s sojourn in Florida. During their ab-
sence they have traversed much of the
Southern country, and visited the principal
tOwns and cities on the route, hence to the
St. J ohn’s river. The party are delighted
with the winter climate of Florida, and the
improved condition of all save, perhaps,
Mr. Camp, would demonstrate that they had
had'a “ good time of it.” They left Mr. and
Mrs. George G. Bishop at St. Augustine, in
improved health. A winter on the St. Johns
and a summer in old Norwalk, gives one
about the perfection of climatic bliss, and
in the “ good time coming” many more of
our people will learn wisdom from the birds.
WWC are glad to learn that humble
and faithful service for public objects -does
not always fail of due recognition. The
Congregational Society of South Norwalk
showed their appreciation of the long and
unrewarded services of Daniel T. Benedict
Esq., Mector of the Society, on Thursday
evening last, by presenting him with an el-
egant silver tea service of six pieces. The
Collector was completely taken by surprise
as the flood of friends suddenly innundated
his house, but surrendered at discretion.
The Pastor, who in a model little speech,
full of humor and good feeling, presented
the gift, intimated that if the Collector’s
name was not Dunning, it deserved to be.
Several songs were sung, and the Collector
and his good lady were left in good humor.
May they live long to drink many cups of
tea from the silver service. Messrs Cun-
ningham, Fei'ris, and Downs, are'worthy of
notice for'the spirited manner in which this
pleasant affair wés prepared and managed.
_ We understand that, owing-to a new sys-
tem of payments introduced at their last
‘pew-letting, this Society do not need'the
further services of a Collector. SO success-
ful has been this new mode, that the Socie-‘
ty’s Committee, at the April meeting, were
able to report all bills paid to date, and a
balance in Bank large enough to meet all
demands for four months to come; As may
be supposed, our neighbors contemplate this
unusual state of things with no little satis-
some. rother churches within our ken
might borrow this system to their advan-
tage,uuless indeed, these Congregational
‘people hold it by patent right.
WThe Fairfield West Consociation con-
vened at the First Congregational Church
here, on Tuesday last to sunder the connec-.
tion of Dr. Childs as pastor of that church.
His resignation was aceedcd to after full
statement of the causes leading to its pre-
sentation. That the Doctor’s conceded abili-
ty,"and high character and standing as a
Christian Minister may lead to his early
settlement. in some congenial field, is we are
sure, the sincere desire and prayer of the
people of his late charge.

STEAMER PutnNIx.—'-The Fire Department
was in a state of excitement, last week, over
the new steam fire engine which arrived on
Thursday, and was formally received that
afternoon, the .entire Department turning
out in honor of the occasion. A procession
was formed and marched through the prin-
cipal streets, headed by the Norwalk Band.
The Hook & Ladder boys appeared in their
new uniforms, ' looking remarkably'h’and-
some. On Friday afternoon the engine was
publicly tested by Mr. Cole, one of the
makers. Owing to a strong wind prevailing,
no fair trial could be made on distance, but
streams were played through 500 feet of
hose, which seemed satisfactory to the fire-
men. An attempt wasmade to take water
from the bridge, at low tide, a distance Of
28 feet, but as the suétion could not fairly be
placed under wa‘ter,failed. Another attempt
was made at 9 o’clock, p. m., and succeeded
admirably, water being taken add lifted 24
feet, 8 inches, and thrown over the Liberty
cap on the top of the GAZETTE Building
flag staff. This was done with a pressure of
about 35 lbs of steam. The. Engine is one
of Cole Bros.’ third-class machines, made at
Pawtucke't, R. I., costing some $3,600. In
appearance it is a beautiful machine, and it
is evidently “as good as- it looks.” We con-
gratulate the Borough upon its possession.

illusion] Matters In South Norwalk. .
The dullness of winter at the Old Well
has been greatly enlivened by an old fash-
ioned Singing School with all 'the modern
improvements. Twenty years ago, as the
writer remembers, a singing school was
opened here and guided by a strong though
not melodious bass voice, occasionally ac-
companied by a scraphine. A gobdly num-
iber of adults practiced on “The Indian
Hunter,” and “ How, Sophia, can you leave
your lover I” The piano had no place nor
the children. It wats a highly vocal, truly
rural, and mlly adult affair.
’Now whatever advantage they had in for-
mer times, wehave had in our later day, with
the improvements that greater culture and
greater liberality provide. The piano, the
cabinet organ, the church organ, sometimes
separately, sometimes togéther, have accom-
panied the class. While Prof.- Sherwin has
dextrously wielded the conductor’s baton,
Prof; Gibson has played with his well known-
skill, and when we have had both together;
the one nilnbly and tastefully ruling 'the pi-
ano, the other evoking the more majestic
Organ tones, the temptation; not to sing but
to listen, has been very great.
_ Prof. Sherwin has gratified us all by his
aptitude for teaching, and if some of us
still find mysteries in the science it is due to
advancing age or to preternatural dullness.
To his almost unanimously invited to contin-
ue his instructions a second term, was a
well deserved compliment.
' We remember that the‘singing school of
.twentv years ago closed with a concert, and
some who sang then to our juvenile delight,
are still with us, the most attentive students,
and the most prompt readers. What sing-
ing school ever digd properly without a
concert? We hereby give notice that we
expect to die in a short time, properly.
The children of three Sabbath Schools
have also had their place, and the great im-
provement in the several schools attests the
excellence of their instruction. Two public
gatherings in which the children have done
all the singing, have attracted large audien-
. ces; and such an appetite for song ,hasbeen
created as will ensure to most a musical ed-
ucation. G.
