Mr. FEBBY’S annanspnncn.
We subjoin the opinions of sundry Re-'
publican papers concerning Senator Ferry’s
.reply to Senator Morton. Furthermore,
wherever the position of Mr. Ferry is under:
stood, it meets the approval of his Republi-'
can supporters and admirers at home and
abroad. His position is this:— Upon the
complete restoration of the Union, all political.
dimming: shall be removed from the rank and
jlle of the Southern people. Those who grad-
.uated at West Point, who left Congress, the
Governors of rebellious States and members
of the secession convention, to remain for-
ever dibfranchi'aed. This is all there is of the
Robinson resolution, which Was the sugges-
tion of Mr. Ferry in Committee. He also
sustained the Committee of Conference in
its report to the Senate upon the differences
between the House and Senate. But with
whatever shade of opinion the Senator’s
speech may be received, there is at lbt
some gratification in knowing that Connect-
icut has been heard ham and that she has
advanced to the foremost line of debate ,on
the flodr of the Senate. It was universally
conceded to us by the Senatorial Reporters
that in force, earnestness and eloquence, it
surpassed any effort made in the Senate this
Congress. The provocation was' irritating,
yet Mr. Fei'ry’s manner and temper were
admirable,.snd his patriotism and sincerity
so conspicuous, that any who dissented from
his views, willingly admitted his conscien-
tious fidelity to his own convictions of right
and duty 2— .
From the Chicago Evening Post.
Ferry and Morton.
Last week there was a sharp contest in
the Senate over the Georgia bill,-a conspic-
uous feature of- which was an acrimonious
debate bctwwcen Morton, of Indiana, and
Ferry, of Connecticut, two of the ablest
members of that body. General amnesty
was the question‘ at issue—Ferry in favor,
Morton opposed. The latter seems to have
opened the war in the matter of personali-
ties, makinga speech in which he charged
the Senator from Connecticut with defend-
ing the rebels, and with desiring the perse-
cution of loyalists in the South. .
The absurdity of this allegation would
have'becn sufficiently plain, if Ferry had.
not replied; for the coun knows of his
gallantry through the war, in Virginia, Flor-
ida and the Carolinas. But he defended
himself vigorously and _ earnestly. He is
not a gladiator, and dislikes such collisions,
but when called out knows how to res 0nd.
He denounced the relentless spirit 0 pro-
scription which would continue the politic-
al disabilities 01 the South; condemned the
policy of prolonging at: post facto punish-
ment, as tending to ocal feuds and national
bitterness; insisted that the Republican par-
ly,'iu all its strongholds, had pledged itself
ton generous amnesty to the men who were
in rebellion; and- called. to the witness
stand Southern State after State—Texas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia,
the Carolinas, and Virginia—and proved by'
quotations from their oflicral declarations
that the Republicans of those States were
in favor of remitting the old rancor‘to Ob-
livion. He closed by advising the Republi-
pan party not to follow the policy of Mor-
on. .
Mr. Morton rejoined in a speech of abili-
ty,but its acidity and, ill temper weakened
the force Of his wOrds. He read Ferry for-
mally_out of the Republican party—but the
ostracrsm was not calm enough to be ac-
cepted as oflicial. He advised him to take
a seat among the Democrats and never.
thereafter to claim fellowship with Repub-
licans.
The personal animosity displayed among
the Senators was unbecoming gentlemen
holdipg . their places as representatives of
the dignity of great States. As to the mer-
its of the case, it cannot be denied that a
majority of the Republicans of the North,
and we believe also of the South, are with
Mr. Ferry. For five years the policy of re-
pression and subjection has been tried, and
it is time to give it _up, exec t in the case of
a handful ofthe leaders oft erebellion who
are olleged to have been guilty Of crimes
against- hunmnity. To the rest, amnesty!
It 15.: a mockeg for Congress to dictate
whom the Son shall elect to oflice. Would
not the,roconstrncted States he more con-
tent, would not their rights he more valiant-
ly defended, and their wishes. more rigor-
ously observed, if they could be represented
by men of their choice! Universal suffrage
hascome; the negro isvplaced on the high-
est vantage ground for self-protection; now
let- us unloose the'shackles of the law. Pop-
ular representation is the only healthy con-
, dltion, and no community can thrive with-
~ out it. We cannot afford to permit the sys—
tem of carpet-bagging, which has served
very wall as a temporary expedient, to take
deep root and flourish as a part of the per-
maneut life of the South.
' Iii-om the Chibago Tribune.
The third quarrel was between Morton
anlee-rry, men of nearly the same age,
both having been born in the month of Au-
gust, 1823. Morton has established the
character here of a first-class demagoguc,
With acertam brute power of driving little
mike ahead of him. Ferry is a quiet, atten—
tive», steadfast man, who is not over anxious
to. keepethe consciences of other men, guard-
mg-ch fly the honor and patriotism of him-
self._ Morton has made every effort to be
considered the representative of the Execu-
tive in the Senate. The fecbleness of this
latter kind of man to encounter a self-assur-
. ed intellectual rival on a guestion of broad
ethics or polity was never ~more manifest
than when, mistaking his man. the. other
day he cracked. his dragon’s whip at Perry.
The latter admmdi tohirn the most di-
rect led. Whghi..casligation which pre-

ation to e oguence, he said; inn voice and

tion. He would have no representation of half

@- The leading Republican paper of
South Carolina thus speaks :—
The chief encounter was between Sena-
tors Ferry and Morton. Mr. Fer is an
unassuming man, but when roused is quick,
keen, forcible', and eloquent. To the sur-
prise of many he proved himself in debate
and in repartee a‘ full match for his eminent
antagonist. His speech was replete with
noble thought and earnest appeal. It
breathedthe s irit of sincere and earnest
patriotism. . hen Senator Morton, in his
reply, stigmatized Mr. Ferry as a Democrat
for holding the view: he did, he weakened
himself before are people.
, Mr. Ferry in reply cited every Southern
State thorn Texas to Virginia to prove that
the Republicans "of every one had pro-
nounce against all political. disabilities in
their own constitutions, and in every case
asked Congress to remove disabilities im-
posed by the XIV lh Amendment. as cited
also the general tone of the press of the
North, and claimed that three-fourths of the
vOters of the Republican party in the entire;
nation were in favor of the general removal
of disabilities. ,, . ;
The statement is not far amiss as regards
the South. As a matter of fact, we presume
the bill proposed by Senator Robertson will
meet the assent of fully three-fourths the
Republicans, while removal of disabilities
from every individual in the South would
not meet such approval. In the bill named,
Members of Congress who entered the rebel-
lion—high officers of the Federal arm who
joined the rebel army, and men, w o, in
conventions, voted for ordinances of seces-
sion, are- exceptedfrom the general amnesty.
This number includes prohabl not to ex-
ceed five hundred men in the nth.
We presume that the bill of Senator Rob-
ertson will pass. All who are excepted in
that bill can obtain. removal of~disabilities
by askin Congress for it. If the will not
ask they. ave no right to comp sin. Nor
will the people heed such complaints as they.
make.—C’harlcston~(8.0.) Republican.
'The Robertson Amendment is in reality Mr. Fer-
ry’s. Our Senator suggested that measure in com-
mittee and it was adopted by the Senator from South
Carolina almost literally in Mr. Forry's .own lan-
Wnicn POLICY.—“ Dixon,” the able cor-
respondent of the Boston Advertiser, has
some interesting comments on the recent
debates in the Senate between Messrs. Fer-
ry do Morton: . - ‘
The senatorial debate on the bill giving
effect to the Fifteenth Amendment makes
plain what was suggested by the debate in
that body .On the Georgia question—tha-
there are two parties within the republican
party. Such men as Mr. Morton, Mr. Drake,
. Sumner, Mr. Howard and Mr. Thayer,
are for harsh and proscriptive measures
toward the South; while such men as Mr.
Trumbull, Mr. Carpenter, Mr. Ferry, Mr.
Conkling, Mr. Sawyer, Mr. Warner and Mr.
Revels believe that assured ’pcace lies in
amnesty and cordial sympathy. In, this
present controversy the two theories joined
issue through the clash between Mr. Mot.-
ton and Mr. Ferry, both- .of whom spoke
With a good deal of warmth and feeling.
Mr. Fcrry’s was much the best speech of the
two—close, logical and generally free from
dcmago ' in.
Mr. orton’s speeches in this and the
Georgia debate show that he has not" ad-
vanced from his position of two years ago.
As near as I can make out, he clings to' the
issues, and holds that the chiefpart of the
republican stock in trade for the canvass of
next fall consists of rebel hobtility and Ku-
Klux outrages and insecurity to Unionists.
Shall we never have done with this? If an
example and warning is needed, it seems to
me that the condition of Tennessee might
be studied with advantage. Inxthat State
the proscriptivepolicy had free course; the
results do not a car worth c‘oveting, do
they? Yet Mr. orton and those who so-
ccpl his leadership would have us still pur-
suethis policy all through the South. Im-
patient with the slow growth of nationality,
he would try to compel what must be won
in the exercise of a broader patriotism. -
Mr. Ferry and his associates look with a
wide vision. They admit the necessity for
passing such laws as wizl bring equality and
security, but with the sword they would also
extend the olive branch. They recognise
that sentiment cannot be overned by force;
that wisdom does not lie in either anger or
bitterness. Mr. Morton may issue his hull
of excommunication against them, every
week, but their fealty to the republican par-
ty is just as sound as his own, and, in my
judgment, their labors tend to a larger and
more healthful result. .
The raw-head and blood ~bones or u-
ment has had its da , as I he ieve Mr. or-
ton will find when cleaves the artificial
atmosphere of Washington and comes once
more into contact with the people at home.
The country is tired of this Ion continued
wrangling. Politically, and wi reference
to the South, Congress is required to. ad-
dress itself to measures that will encourage
and stimulate progression and ood-fellow-
ship. With all due respect to r. Morton,
the path he marks out for the coming can-
vass is neither the path of expediency nor
ntriotism. The heart of the nation is with
. Ferry.
[2" Our community was startled on Fri-
day evening last by 'the announcement of
the sudden deceasc of A. E. Beard Esq., at
his residence, South Norwalk. Mr. "Beard
had been inprecarious health for some years
past, but no suspicions had been entertained
of such sudden chemise, until a few brief
hours before his death. He had been about
the streets and attending to his business d11-
ties only a day or two previous to his death.
Mr. Beard has filled various positions of
public trust and always to his. own credit
and the public satisfaction. Hehas repre-
sented Norwalk in the State Legislators in
repeated instances, been President of the
Fuirfield Co. Bank, Selectman of the town,
Administrator on various important estates,
Director in our Lock 00., &c., &., and a1

and revered by all, he has gone to his rest.

bewildering and vcxatious questions con-
cerning “that bridge,” over the Brady ford-

in solemn town meeting assembled. ~Coun-
sellor and selectman Footc announced that
he had ransacked all the “authorities,” and
the conclusion of the matter was that it was
a very delicate question as to what constitu-
ted a bridge. In that state of the case, he
moved and it was carried, . that the town
build the omroaehes to said bridge as well
as the bridge. But the first and main ques:
tion we imagine is not to be so easily set-
tled, or it seems ions the vote was unfortu-
nately worded. In our judgement, the vote
that should have been passed and which we
are certain would command the assent ofan
overwhelming majority of our people, would
have required the Union Company to pay
whatever extra cost the town was made to
bear, in consequenceof adapting the bridge
to their convenience. We understand it
now to be, in brief, that if the committee are
unable to secure an equitable amount from
the Union 00., they shall proceed to fill up
their raceway! Knowing how much easier
it is for public bodies to go to law, than to
do right, we'think the historic Austen—dain-
war likely to be eclipsed by this bridge case.

SINGULAR Drscovnnv.—During the mouth
of August last a deposit of fumily silver
was stolen from one of our banking institu-
tions in a most inexplicable manner. No
trace of the property, or satisfactory expla-
nation of “how it was done" could be given.
On Saturday afternoon last, as Samuel Smith
and Warren Shelden were engaged in re-
inovi'ug an evergreen tree in the grounds of
what was the Isaac S. Beers place, Smith
brought .to the surface on the‘ end of his.
pick, a piece of velvet-lined box, and not
knowing whether he had struck-a miniature
coilin or Capt. Kidd’s treasure, he began the
exercise of special care in exhuming _, the
mystery. Further digging revealed shining
spoons, forks, butter knives, etc, to such an
extent that poor Smith and Shelden stood'
aghast at tlieexhibit. Nor did Smith’s. trep-
idation end till he had hunwd up oflcer
Scarles and made him the custodian of the
property. The fidelity of these two honest
men made one household happy that night,
for the collection proved to be every article
stolen except one and that the least one in
,value, and nearly every article having been
cherished gins fi'omdeceased Mends and oth-
ers the return of the property was prized far
beyond any intrinsic value. But the discov-
ery renders the mystery ofthe robbery even
greater than before. '
W The State House question is made
the special order for Wednesday of the
present week, and the vote is to be taken on
Thursday. We predict as the result that
things will remain pretty m1ich as they are,
and with that the people will doubtless be
better satisfied than by any present change.

Give fiowers! bring flowers of every hue,
From garden-bed and field,
To deck the green above the breasts
That made the Northern shield.
Pluck ad the sweetest orange blooms
And roses white and rare—.-
But not for marriage altars now,
Nor for the young bride’s hair.
Ask lilies for their palesf'buds,
And violets for their blue—
Ask wood and doll for greenest leaves
For those who died for you.
And lay above the bosom cold
Where brave hearts now repose,
The lilies pale and violets blue
' And orange bloom and rose.
And when the othorJune shall bloom
Through all the years to be,
Bring flowers as sweet and fair as these
For those who died for thee.
. nonaorlal Day.
The graves of the dead heroes of the war,
were plentifully strewn with flowers, all
over our broad land, on Monday. At Wash-
ington, where are located the greatest num-
ber of soldier cemeteries, perhaps the most
imposing ceremonials occurred. In Nor-l
walk, the floral tributes Of grateful remem-
brance wereinformally, but very generally
strewnupon our martyr graves on Monday
afiernoon. , .
In Bridgeport the day was generally cele-
brated,Monday, some twenty societies par-
ticipating. , The ' day was also publicly
observéd in Danbury, New Canaan, Water-
bury, and other places in the State.
At South Norwalk the graves in Pine
Island cemetery were publicly decorated
Slinday afternoon. ,
At Rowaytou, Sunday last was observed
as Decoration day, and public exercises were
held in Union Cemetery at 4' o’clock, p .m.
There was a large attentbncc of persons
from that village, and from South Norwalk,
Norwalk and Darien. An American flag
was displayed flour a' flag stafi' in the
grounds, and there was a' profusion of beau-
tiful flowers. ‘ Services commenced with a
prayer by Rev. John Davies, and short ad-
dresses were made by, Revs.Messr's. Dunning
and Plait, Capt. James, Russell and W. S.
Bouton, after which the graves were for-
mally decorated with elegant wreaths and
hoqnets of flowers by some thirty soldiers.

Joseph C. .Randle, our NOIWalk census

the town on Wednesday. We bespeak for
him a cordial an willing ‘response to the
necessary interrogatories, when he calls

Em'The Concert given by Miss Braincrd
- and associates, at Lockwood's Hall last Fri-
y evening, wasa complete success in ev-
respect. The quality of the singing
was of the very highest order and the se-
lections fortunately popular. The little
Miss Bulkley has a charming voice, and, at
once became a favorite with the audience,
which, by the way, was one of the finest of
the séason.‘ 'Thc basso was exceedingly
fine, and indeed where all were so excellent
it is needless to pa'ilticularize. We never
remember to have seen so fine a' display of
talent and beauty as came up from South
Norwalk, and when the Concert closed, the
capacities of her first-class livery. stables
were shown to fine advantage. Come again.

' LETTERS FROM THE/PEOPLE.
Enrroas Guerra:
. I have made a discovery; within a- few ' days,
which I give for the benefit of your readers who
may be. as I was, in ignorance about the matter. ,
The Danbury J's Norwalk- Railroad instead of run-
ning, as would seem natural, by New York time,
rails by Danbury time, which is about two and a half
minutes faster than New York time, and from a min-
ute to a minute and a half faster than the clock in
the Danbury a Norwalk Depot. This accounts for
the fact that the people so frequently "get left” by
the Danbury a Norwalk trains. The down trains
run by this time: the "up trains by_ no time in partic-
ular. _ As no intimation is given by advertisements,
enqiiry from the conductors is the only means ofas-
cortaining by what time they claim to run. ~

Massns. Enirons:-—As Editors are supposed to
know everything, and to do everything for the pub-
lic, I must appeal to you in reference to that awful
nuisance on Goose Island. Is there any prospect of
having it removed 1 I heard last summer that ltwas
going to be abated, but still it is there yet. Now,
Messrs. Editors, I believe if that nuisance 1s contin-
. ucd, it will take thousands of dollars out of our Yil-
loge this summer. The time of year has arrived for
strangers to be looking around for boarding places
for their families, and asour Village is noted for
fresh and p'ure air I am sure when our New Yorkers
arrive they will think they have got in the wrong
spot and will pull up stakes and move on. As for
myself the smell is so intolerable sometimes that it
sickens me, and I have to leave my out-door work
and start for the house: but now as warm weather
is here and our windows open, the smell is all
through my house, and what to do now I don’t know.
My-housc suits me and of course I don’t want to sell
it, but am I to be compelled to submit to such a uni-
sance the rest of my days, if so, my days are num-
bered; ‘I know such a thing would not be tolerated
twenty-four hours in New York City. I have been
told that our new Senator from South Norwaik has
the matter in hand, but what we want now is action
and not all talk, and bring it to a allmsxat once be-
fore it is too late. Please inform me and thousands
of others through your wide-awake columns if any-
thing is being done in the matter, and Oblige a sub-
scriber. . J. C.
@We are informéd . by a gentleman
,who has investigated the subject, that the
nuisance can be abated by the Board of
Health. Hadn’t our friends along shore
better make a formal complaint to the said
Board 1’ Their powers are said to be ample
for such cases. »
