EDITORIAL LETTER.
_ WASHINGTON, April 22nd, ’70.

Dear Gazette :—-The reader of these col-
umns of ten years ago-(what 'an age of
history in those ten years) will recall the in-
terest and excitement raised throughout the
country by the seizing and dragging to pris-
on of an old colored man named Mason, be-
cause he would not disclose the wherea-
bouts of his little son “ Ben.” The wife of
Mason and mother of Ben was a slave. This
made a slave of the child. All her other
children had been sold South, indeed this
fl‘uitful vine had been the chief source of
pecuniary supply to a decayed family.

The little boy, Ben, their last born, had
attained an age of nine years, and the needs
of the master demanded the sale of this
child of the poor colored pair’s old age.

' Parental instincts made timely discovery of

 

 

the master’s purpose, and little Ben was non .

eat, when called for to , be sold.‘ The Old

mother had for years kept house wtth her.
husband, and by taking in washing and go-

- ing out to work, been able to satisfy her

owners by paying them a monthly stipula-

tion for her time. Little Ben was the only

child left her and was the joy of her hum-

ble cabin. He was spirited away, however,‘
and the parents, although no doubt conniv-

ing at his secretion at the first, lost sight of
him themselves and did not and could not

reproduce him. .

The law justified whipping to any point
short of killing. But the services Of the
slave mother if impaired ,would impair the
cash receipts for her labor, and so the slave
code had other means of redress. The free-
bOrn father could be cast into prison and
kept there until he should disclose where
the hidden property was. He was conse-
quently arrested and cast into Washington

jail, not because he would not, but really be-
cause he could not produce the body of his
child for the slave auction block. Here he
remained incarcerated nearly a year in sight
of the starry flag that floats on the Capitol’s
dome. The waning months of Buchanan’s
administration were drawing to a fitful close.
Abraham Lincoln had been elected in a pop-
ular outburst of freedom and loyalty. The
story of Mason and little Ben had got into
allthe papers, and the sympathies of this
great nation began to be stirred over the
wrongs of this humble pair. A humane
member of Congress called on Ben’s owner
and paid in cash their estimated value oflit-
tle Ben, and old Mason was released about

. the time of Mr. Lincoln’s inauguration. Mr.
Harlan, on taking the Interior Department,
sent for the poor old broken father and ten-
dered him a messengersbip in his depart-
ment-at a thousand a year. Here he has
continued faithfiilly at his duties during all
the " strange and eventful history" inter-
vening. But no clue or trace could he ever
gather of his lost child. He had a theory
that he had been kidnapped, sold South, and
after the emancipation proclamation and
close of the war, not hearing from him, gave
him up as dead.

Judge ye, then, happy fathers and moth-
ers of New England, the joy of that lone
couple, on receiving a letter from away
down in Mississippi, written by Ben’s own
hand, informing, his parents 'of his good
health and safety, and that he.i_s coming to
visit them this summer, as soon as his har-
vesting duties are over. The poor old moth-
er, remembering the interest we took in the
case ten years ago, took the trouble to come
and hunt us up to reveal her gratitude and
joy, which she' did with a full heart and
Streaming eyes.

HOW like dreams seem now the stories
of John Brown’s raid and Mason; impris-
onment ! How the eyes of young and old
will kindle and moisten with the recital of
these and similar wrongs, in the far off, dim
but grand and glorious future, to which this
great and now more truly Christian nation
surely tends. God surely rules and governs
nations as well as the destinies of individual
men. His dealings with His chosen people
in Egypt, and deliverance therefrom are not
more wonderful, than the recital of His deal-
ings with this nation for the past decade.

Judge Kelly showed us a letter Saturday
he had just received from an influential con-
stituent, which goes to show the modern
ideas-some. entertain ot the duties and obli‘

S. gations of a Member of Congress. It seems
the Judge had 'franked aspeech to this Phil-
adelphiannwho returned it unopened, with
a letter explaining that some time since he
had applied to the Judge for afree pass over
the railroads between the Quaker city and
Minneapolis, Minnesota, and that he, the
Judge, had treated this reasonable request
with indifference and disrespect. He, the
writer, knew it was proper to make such a
request and that such courtesies were fre-
quently extended to those who had worked
and voted to secure their member's election.

Had he applied for the amount of his pew
rent or washerwoman’s bill, the Judge might
have responded, but think of the Congress-
man’s dismay when he really didn’t know
what railroads his. enthusiastic constituent
would have to travel, much less the names
of any of the R. R. ofiicials to whom he
could apply for the coveted ‘.pass. The
Judge must be prepared to encounter the
fierce hostility of that constituent at the
next election. Such a fool certainly has no
natural place in the Republican ranks.

The new fifty. cent fractional currency
issue with a vignette of Err-Secretary Stan-
ton, are out, and' like all new engravings,
are very pretty, The new Postal Stamps
are also now in readiness.

The Georgia Bill has finally passed the
Senate and got back to the House. The
Northern Pacific Railroad scheme passed the
Senate to—day by an unexpectedly large
vote. The House is hammering away on
the Tariff and Ways and Means questions.

The uncertainty of political honors, was

‘ graphically illustrated in the case of Syphcr

in the New Orleans contested election case,
day before yesterday. The, committee re-
ported in Sypher’s favor, and he was voted
into his seat by four majority. Had he then
gone to the Speaker’s desk he would have
been sworn in, but he was absent a few mo-
ments and before he returned a reconsidera-
tion 'was carried and he was voted out,
whereupon a vote Was hurried. through that
no election had transpired in Louisiana Dis-
trict, and all parliamentary means are cut
off of his getting his case before the House
again. .

The question as to what class of soldiers
are entitled to the $100 bounty under the re-
cent decision of the United States - Supreme
Court. is at present eliciting much interest
throughout the country. The following
points have been submitted to the Second
Comptroller for his decision: . ~ '

If under the act of July 22, 1861, soldiers
who were honorably discharged to accept
promotion, after having served two years,
were paid the $100 bounty, why, under the
reéent decision of the Supreme Court, are
not soldiers who did not enlist prior to that
act, and under the President’s proclamatiOn
of May 5, 1861, entitled to $100 bounty,

whether they served two years or not, and ‘

whether such service was as an enlisted man
or otherwise? , ’

The contract with the United States was
that they should receive $100 bounty "when
honorably discharged. Is not a promotion
an honorable discharge 1’

The Comptroller answers the “above ques-
tions as followe:—

-The decision of this office was against
payment of bounty, even in the cases arising
under the act of July 22, 1861, on the ground
that when one party releases the other from
the obligations of a contract, for the benefit
of the latter, there is the end of the agree-
ment, for it would be one-sided law that
would hold one and discharge the other;
but as many payments had been made before
the subject had been brought to the notice
of the Treasurgavaphnm‘ent, the practice
was nb‘t atrial). .

/

 

to ofilcers promoted from the ranks (the
Government yielding the service it had a
right to demand under their. contract of en-
listment, for the benefit of the officer) was
held to be illegal, and it is not sanctioned
by the opinion of the Supreme Court.

Senator Ferry is much improved in health
and appearance. The statements running
through our State papers as to‘ his desperate
illness, must excite a smile on the faces of
those who daily see him in his place in the
Senate, and as active in debate and atten-
tive to duty as any of his “ illustrious prede-
cessors. '

egg? The story of Senator Ferry’s dan-
gerous illneSS seems to be very industriously
circulated, for a rumor having no founda-‘
tion in fact. The Senator has been afflicted
with a very threatening malady it is true,
but never so much as to detain him a day'
from his seat in the Senate, and though not
entirely recovered now, he is so much im-
proved, that his-friends are entirely justified
in a belief in his early restoration to ordina-
ry health and vigor.

@The lecture of Mrs. Lippincott, (Grace

of those very “good things” which too rarely
come of the modern lyceum system. It was
a sermon throughout, bubbling overwith
beautiful thoughts; and beneficent sugges-
tions. We doubt if any listened to it with-
out having been made the better for it, and

W‘ A petition is to be presented to the
General Assembly praying for relief from
the nuisances on the islands opposite Nor-
walk, Westport and Southport. The peti-
tion states: ' '.

“Within three years .these islands have
been taken possession of by non-residents,
and used for the purpose of boiling up the.
carcasses of dead animals, manufacturing of
fish oil and fish manure. phosphates from
lime and compressed animal matter, and
kindred manufactured chemical compounds.

These manufactures have not only become
unbearable nuisances to all the inhabitants
for even two miles distant from the shores,
but are proven by multiplied medical testiv
mony to be alarmingly deleterious to the
public health. -

In an eXamination of the effects of these
nuisances by the Westport Board of Health,
last year, it was given in evidence that
whole families had been made sick by the
smells and gases from these factories, that
farmers had been compelled to leave work

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

in the field, that citizens were endeavoring,
to sell their property to escape the nuisances, ‘

and that a general predjudice was being
created towards persons whowere desirous
of purchasing property for residences in _the
neighborhood of these factories.”

The Nelly White.

This beautiful and favorite little steamer,
having been thoroughly overhauled and
painted up, inside and out, has again taken
her place Lon the Norwalk route. She is
swift, safe, commodious and exceedingly
pleasant; and moreover transports a person
whose business may be dOwn town, as
quickly as he can reach his destination by
cars. .We hope to see a special effort made
this season by our citizens to give her a
liberal support. The railroad fare of $1.30
from Norwalk to New York is an extortion
and imposition, which the people know full
well, would not stand a day, were there
competition. The popular indignation can
now be shown by patronizing the Nelly
White.- ‘ ‘ ‘ -'

WSome idea of the, importance and con-
venience of p the new road bridge at South
Norwalk may be had from the following
statistics which have been furnished us by
the keeper of the ‘_draw :—The harbor has

 

, not been entirely closed at any time during

the winter, and for the three months ending
March 31st, the 'draw has been opened for

143 vessels as follows :-— - _ .

One day last Fall the keeper counted 127
single teams and 57 double teams pass over
the Bridge. How did we ever get along
without it?

nature amply deserve. No other orator or

ven Courier couldn’t see the sense of them
and so objected, and we, not wishing to
annoy anybody, had half concluded to let
them slide. But here goes another, which
we believe never got into print beforei

The evening of Mr. Lincoln’s second in.
auguration, and the exhibition of inebriety
made by Andy Johnson on that occasion, a
party of friends, among whom was one of
our Connecticut Senators, wended their
way to the White House, and in the course
of conversation, began to express their
sympathy for Mr. Lincoln at the national
dishonor and the personal mortification he
must have endured at the disgraceful per-
formance of the Vice President. Comment
and censure had ran on for some time with-
out provoking a word of rejoinder from Mr.
Lincoln, until all of a sudden he stopped the
conversation short by the utterance—“ Hold
up, gentlemen, I must tell you a little story
right here. A young man out in Springfield
became desperately enamored of a neigh-
bor’s daughter, and his love for the girl was
only exceeded by the father’s contempt for
him, and so he forbid him the house. Una-
ble to restrain his emotions, the unfortunate
young man again accompanied his idol
home, whereupon the infuriated parent flew
at him and kicked him down the stoop, out
of the yard, and into the street, in the most
vigorous manner.

“The afi'air getting noised abroad next day,
his companions repaired to his store . and
finding him lame and sore from his bruises,
so overwhelmed the poor fellow with their
pity that he could stand it no longer; where-
upon in an agony of spirit he cried out:
‘My friends, if you feel as I do about that
traasact-z‘ou, you’ll stop talking to me aboutl't.’ ”

It is needless to add that there was an end
of the talk over J obnson’s drunkenness, and
that the conversation turned to other
themes. .

 

WExtensive arrangements are being
made for the “ election parade ” in New
Haven next week Wednesday. We hear
that our own Eighth regiment has been or-
dered over there for a “ Spring parade ” to

help out the show. If not an importinent

question we would like to know if the boys
are to foot it over from our county line and
back i If not, who is to pay for transpor-
tation through New Haven county? When
Republican Governors were to be inaugura-
ted, Democrats said that it was “ contrary
to the law " to order the regiment out of the
county, and Republican ofilcials would not
do it on the plea - of “ economy.” Now,
what is the change in circumstances that
warrants all this outlay of money ?

 

THE CIRCUSES.'——The New York Circus
entered town last Monday and gave two
performances. Owing to the storm, the au-
diences were rather small, and the perform-
ances below the standard of this really ex-
cellent company. On Tuesday Bailey’s cir-
cus gave two performances to large audien-
ces. The menagerie part was rather small,
but the few animals shown were good spec-
imens. The circus was of average merit.

Sunday School Work at South
Norwalk.

If South Norwalk is seeking to be a city in a pine-
ticsl sense she is striving to be urban also in her re-
ligious activities. We have noticed with pleasure,
not only the increased interest in musical matters
but in all that givés life to the church, and so justi-
fies the regard of all good Citizens for that Institu-
tion. No one can have rightly observed the signs of
the times, without noting that the Sabbath School
has of late years reached‘a position never before st-
ained, and that its work ever enlarging as to num-
bers, has also enlarged in its scope and design. The
time has gone by when the chnrdi could sfi'ord to
neglect the school. or its members relegate their du-
ties to a few, Time was when Pastors looked with
Jealousy upon the school as interfering with their
functions as teachers, or as an outside organization
with which they need have little to do. Now it is
felt to be an integral part. of the church,[doing for the
children what the pulpit does for the adult, or at
least preparing the young mind for the more elabo-'
rate teaching of the preacher. So Pastors find their
success now largely dependent upon the tact and en-
ergy which they bring to bear upon the Sunday
School work.

We notice with pleasure, the better methods of in-
struction now in vogue. These are the outgrowth
ofyears ofexperienee:their value has been proved
by theirsuccess and such is the increasing interest
in these methods, that institutes and conventions are
now held tn order.to famialisrize the popular mind
with them. In doing this the church is borrowing
in part the methods and machinery of secular educa-
tion, and is thus showing a wisdom which speaks
well for. its future. The work of the Church is to ed-
ucate the soul and nothing is to be despised that can
contribute to her work. And when we see howa
successful a’nd vigorous Sabbath School ensures a
successful and vigorous church, we wonder how any
who wish well to the church, fall to interest them-
selves in the religious instruction of the young.

To show that the school re-acts beneficially on the
Church, we have need to call the attention to but
two or three facts. The active members in the church
are for the most part, the grown up children of, the
School. They are its graduates. They are not fos-
silsbut living workers. Their llberslity, talent and
devotion. make up the larger part of the church
power.

Another fsct none the less plain; tlist the music
now used in devotional meetings is much of it the
children’s music. While theold slow moving and
solemn tunes are used still occasionally, whatever
of musical life the devotional meeting basis ,due to
the children’s melodies. Quick moving, expressive
and choral In their effects, they charm the ear while
they cause the religious sentiment to kindle and
glow.
