EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, May“ 13th, ’70
Dear Guest“, '—Wc have never observed a
Spring when Nature gave such earnest of a
“fruitful season” as the present. All along
our 1oute, through New Jersey, Pennsylva-
nia, Delaware and Maryland, the earth
seems impatient in its excess of verdure,
andtthc fruit trees fairly bending down un-
der their unusual weight of blossoms. If
no blight come, we opifie peaches will be a
drug in the market, while the yield of cher-
ries, plums and apples, will approach the
“ days lan'g syne ”
Washington, though more dull and less
Ithronged with strangers than usual at this
e'eason, is als'o more chamiing in all 161 eur-
roundings. The freshness of full- leaf June,
an unusual bright green of the award, an
unprecedented efl‘ulgcnce of spring beauty,
Ofcvel y kind, revive I’one s childish dreams
of fa11y land.
Inside the great white ma1ble and painted
Capitol, the routine of a nation’s legislation
drags drearily along. In the House the ex-
citement of the week was the Marathon .bat-‘
tle over the great Northern Pacfiic Railroad
Land Grant Bill. Its friends and sponsors,
not caring to risk it a sc'cond time in the
Senate, suicidally resisted debate and
amendments, until, by a determined charge
of its enemies, it was laid out stark, still” and
' cold It was galvanized into a partial life
by being re-referred to the committee, but
what its ultimate fate is to be, it' is hard to
tell. Our personal observa‘ons upon the
Union and Central roads have thoroughly
convinced us that the nation would make
by it, if it even paid a bonus to get these
railroads to take, develop and sell out the
public lands to actual settlers.
Congressman Kellogg has succeeded in
getting a thousand dollars into the General
Appropriation Bill, for the purpose of erect-
ing a 'spindle in our harbor. He has $20,-
000 also for dredging New Haven harbor,
and $15,000 for Bridgeport. It is a. shame
that we cannot have a small “ lift” for the
Norwalk harbor, where the Government has
a g1 eater ownership than at either of the
above places.
Senato1 Feny’ 11 health' 15 imp ed, and
whateve1 may be his condition' 1n the fu-
ture, there is very little in his condition at
present to very greatly excite the hopes 'of
his enemies or the ,alIarm of his friends.
Meantime, he and Governor Buckingham,
are constantly in their places and watchful
of the public interests and the welfare of
their own immediate constituents. _
The Postmaster General has very justly
raised the salary of our young soldier friend
Bouton, Mail Agent on the Danbury 85 Nor—
walk Railroad. This is but a well-earned
tiibute to fidelity and industry. The com-
pensation ofP. M. Wilcox, of South Nor-
walk, is also to be increased from the 12th
of‘ July. George Buxton, a worthy and
most estimable Connecticut boy, has receiv-
ed a promotion on his merits entirely, with-
out the solicitation or importuning' of any
of the Connecticut delegation.
A valuable patent has just been issued to
Messrs. Dodge dc Mann, for a window snap
and fasteners for Capt. St. John, of George-
town. This firm has procured more patents
for citizens of Fairfield 00. than all other
agencies besides. Knowing them to be ex-
pert and honorable men, we take pleasure
in recommending them.
Quitea flurry was gotten up in the Son-
ate day before yesterday on the removal of
the Capital“ way ou'l west.” This is a sub-
ject much discussed of late, but the present
actors' in the Capital arena of debates, will
have been sometime dead, we opino, before,
the dull and dingy and incongruous archi-
tectural piles of government edifices are
razed and moved off to other quarters of
this great and glorious land. The mileage
system, paying them most who coins from
the greatest distance, effectually squelchcs~
any uneasy ambition to have that distance
shortened. Washington, with all its sacred
and painful memories, will continue to b'
the Capital of'the greatest, freest and mos
powerful nation on earth, long after we are
mouldering in our graves, and “ so mote it

@1711“ a glorious and inspiring spring
, day was last Sabbath. The air was vocal
with the music of raptrous birds and per-
fumed with exquisite aroma of buds and
blossoms. We can scarce recall a day of
such enchanting sun-shine and vernal
glories. “ Our lines have fallen to us in
pleasant places, yea, we have a goodly
heritage,” and when all nature thus joins in
praise to the‘ great and good Creator, should
not the children of men be filled with
reverential gratitude ?

A Well Deserves] Compliment. .
The Legislature has done itself and the
state an honor by the g1acoful manner in
which it has elected Judge Butler to the
h1ghest jud1c1al positionwithin its gift. We
are all the more gratified from the some-
what lame attempt to secure another result.
We are confident that name will be more
heartily glad of it than those especial sup-
porters and friends of Mr. Foster, who had
been thus inconsiderately compromised.
NOr can the fact of a mmn-imous vote in both
Houses fail to be especially gratifying to
Judge Butler himself, whose highest ambi-
tion has been to capably and faithfully
fulfill the duties of his responsible position.
Concert by Miss Brunei-d.
We are informed that the renowned
Soprano Miss Maria Brainerd of New York

assisted by Alex. S. Gibson, Pianist and
Conductor, and several performers from
New York, Miss Brainerd is too well:
known to need any commendstions, and we
are confident that our people will be glad to
. avail themselves of this opportunity of hear-
Iing her—especially as it is so long sinCc she
has appeared before a Norwalk audience.

Another Hero Gone}
A noble, brave and gallant young man
died last week at Bridgeport from the result
of a wound received' 1n the war. We refer
to Lieut. Walter Fitch, late Adjutant of the -
6th Regiment of Conn. Volunteers. Young
IFitch, we believe, enlisted as a.private,' but
f01 gallant and meritorious conduct was
thrice promoted, and finally became. Adju-
tant of the gallant 6th. He was wounded,
wb think, three difi'erent times in encounters
at PocataligoI Bridge, where our people tried
so many times to tap the railroad connec-
tion between Charleston and Savannah.
One of the wounds was by a bullet,’which
lodged in one of his lungs, and from the
I _efi'oct of which he never fairly recovered.
He was of a warm, impulsive nature, and
apparently thought a great'deal of by the
regiment. We had the good fortune to make
his acquaintance soon after he was mustered
in as Adjutant, which" was about the time
the term of enlistment of many were ex-
piring, when, in reply to a remark of Dr.
White, (State Visiting Surgeon) about the
men beginning to count the days interven-
ing before their term expired, Fitch said,
“yes, he.could count his time.” “Ah,” said
IWhitIe,“how10ng'have you to serve.” “Two
years, eleven months and twenty-seven _
days,” was the laughing 'reply. About the .I
same time, the" Assistant" Surgeon of the
regiment was chafiing him for wearing a
vest, which it seems was the one he had on
when last wounded, but he had had the
bullet hole' in the front darned up, and the
blood-stained lining taken out, and was
wearing it. The Surgeon told him he was
mean in fixing it up for service, that it ought
to have been preserved as a memento of his
show iii the perils of the war. “Well, never
mind, Doc., thcrc' 1s time enough 1n the next
three years to get a plenty more "of such
trophies,” was Fitch’s quick reply. We
sincerely regret this early takingI off of such
.a gallant spirit.
THE CONCERT. — The Union _ Singing
School at South N orIwalk, wasbrouglrt to a
happy conclusion last Friday night iwith a
Concert at the'CongregaItional Church. The
attendance was very large, and the entertain-
ment gave the best of satisfaction and pleas-
are. The class showed evidence of. very
careful instruction and drill; aner. Sher-t
win, the conductor,_may well feel pleased
with the result. Mr. Gibson, pianist, was
very neatly complimented by Mr. Sherwin,
and the audience expressed their apprecia-
tion of his playing by applause. We hope
that the class will be c‘ontinued,11nd that
other good concerts will follow' in days to
come.
Kg‘ General surprise was created in Real
Estate circles last week by the report that

madc valuable but now useless “ water lot”
known as “ middle ground,” located at Ithe
head of sloop navigation in our harbor. It
is in contcmblation, we understand, to make
a channel all around, and to build a large
public market, warehouses, public docks, '
baths, etc. We hope to see these' improve-
ments curiiéd out at an early day.

would cost would depend upon the ease
with which Piegari massacres could be re- '

shorter and more decisive, but the expense
would still be enormous in proportion to

111° Divorce Question;
A committee Was appointed at the recent
session of the N. Y. East Conference of die
Methodist Church, consisting of Revs.
Messrs. Pullman of New Haw,‘~Know1es
of Middletown, and Simmons of Norwalk,
to prepare an address on the subject of di-
vorce. They report in substance, as fol-
lows: —
1. Marriage 15 a divine institution, insti-
tuted by God at the creation of man. Mar-
riage cannot be the creature of society, for
it existed before society.
2. The union of one man with one woman,
“no more to be twain but one flesh ” was
the law of marriage ordained by the Creator.
Polygam and divorce "are violations of the.
Law of 0d, and had their origin in the de-
pravityI of man.
3. It 1s the duty of the State to enact such
"righteous laws as shall secure. the completest,
possible obedieiice to the 111111 of God, and
it is 11.111; y‘ ‘of the Church to enforce union
’all her members the laws of her Head an
Le sister, the ,Lord Jesus Christ
’" e desire further to affirm ""—
1. That the Christian law of" divorce as
cantaincd 1n the words of Christ, “Who-
soever shall put own his Iwifc except .for
another, com-I
pt for adultery.-
2. That 1n every case of divorce where
one or both are members 'of our church an
infinity should be made by the church into
the grounds of such divorce. , .

Tm: olN'stJ s.
In a few weeks, the ninth census of the United
States, preparations for taking which by government,
are now being made, will have been accomplished.
The particular object of this great enumeration is to
define and arrange the apportionment of representa-
Looking to this end, the House 01 Representatives
has passed an apportionment bill providing that
hereafter the House shall consist of 915 members, ln-.
stead of 233, as at present. It will go to the Senate,
of course, where its fate may be considered as un-
certain. Should thc present law remain in force the
House will consist of the latter number of members
only. Heretofore. the third year in each decade has
been the time set, for effecting a new apportion-
members and the people as to whether the old
custom should be adhered to or the operation per.
formed at once. During the last five years so much
has beenadded to the numerical and political power
of the South and West by the enfranchisement of the
colored people in the one, and the unprecedented in-
crease in the other, that it ‘wonld seem like a palpable
injustice to delay legislation on this important mat-
ter for three years longer. Although we of New
England will. in all probability lose one or more rep-'
resentatives. it is believed by the morejndicions that
new is the best time to fix the number to be included
in Congress and the Electoral College.
The great "regions referred _to are justly entitled to
a degree of political power they do not new exercise,
and it is carnestl _ ped that no sectional or selfish
considerations willii permitted to gain influence
over a subject which ofi'ects so closely the harmonious
workings of the next house.
In addition to the above, the census is to be made
general, and not confined exclusively to an enumer-
ation of the people. Information relative to com-
merce, manufactures, educational and religious insti-
country ofwhatever kind, noted. This census will be
distinguished from all its predecessors, particularly
the last, from the fact that it will disclose wonderful
advancement in moral and social progress, and also
the non-existence of slave or slave-holder within the
length and breadth of the land. It is plain to be
seen then, that this. matter is really an important
one, and that none but proper persons should be em-
ployed on it. . Very much dependspn‘ having pains-
taking men to collect facts and figures,'f9r a census,
as we all lmow by experience, may easily be well or
ilLtaken. Let everybody, business men and all help
the appointed agents in their work, so that the re-
ports to be made by and by, may afiord 11s a truth-
ful and qualifying idea of the business, resources and
population of this great country. "
