Editorial Letter
Wasnmo'rou, June, 25.
. Dear Gazette :—Whether for their sins of
omission or commission I know not, but
Congress is now sweltering through its clo.
sing business with the thermometer ranging
from 96 ° to 102° in the shade! Such tor-
rid weather in June is unprecedented, and
perspiring and palpitating humanity is in
danger of dissolving, if this thing goes on to
the 15th of July. Even now the Sergeant-
at-Arms has had to provide and keep con-
stantly replenished an immense can of iced
tea and a huge bowl of iced lemonade, to
keep up the wilting energies of the Senators
and Pages, while ice cream and fiozen cus-
tards are the chief articles of diet at restau-
rants and hotels. As our old friend Page
used to say on the July battle fields,—“it is
hot, hotter, hottest, hottentoteat,” and it is
not to be wondered at that our Congress-
men all want to get to their homes.
All sensible people will rejoice that the
Senate has killed the odious and unequal in-
come tax. That war measure of taxation
now sleeps the sleep that knows no waking.
The Hatch and San Domingo resolutions
were reported this morning to the Senate.
Mr Howard submitted a written report,
and recommended indefinite postponement
of the subject. Mr. Schurz, of the minority
committee presented a resolution requesting
the President to demand of the Dominican
Republic full reparation for the losses of
Hatch The nomination of Attorney Gen-
eral Akcrman was confirmed by the Senate
yesterday unanimously and without debate.
Mr. A. reached the city yesterday, and upon
invitation of the President, presented him-
self at the cabinet meeting and was intro-
duced to his fellow members. It is a singu~
lar coincidence that the new Attorney Gen-
eral should have been a protege of the late
John McPherson Berrien, of Georgia, who
was appointed to the same position by
President Jackson at the beginning of his
administration in 1829. Mr. Berrien ofi‘ered
young Akerman, with whom he became ac-
quainted in Georgetown, the position of tu-
tor to his children, and subsequently associ-
ated him in his law business in Georgia.
Mr. Akerman returns to Washington to fill
the high and important position then hon-
ored by his benefactor.
Vincent Colycr is here preparing for an-
other Indian excursion.
The President sent in to day the name Of
T. J. Daskam as P. M. for Stamford. Chas.
Olmstead will be renominated for P. M. for
Norwalk, next week.
Rev. Mr. Haulenbeck is here for the. pur-
pose of procuring the pardon of a young
man falsely imprisoned, as is believed, for
Post-ofiice robbery.
Hon. H. Barnum, the genial but generally
absent M. C. it‘om our District, has just been
appointed to serve on tlte Democratic Con-
gressional Committee. This committee es-
pecially enjoin upon their political friends
in the several States to be particular in the
selection of candidates for Congress, those
from the South to be such that if elected
they can take the required oath, and impor-
tance is, given to. the fact that one-third of .
the number ofUnited States Senators are to
be elected by the legislatures, the members
of which are soon to be elected. Therefore,
they call upon Democrats to adopt suitable
means to secure the election of the largest
possible number of members thereofin view
of this fact.
Immediately upon Mr. Akerman assum-
ing the duties of his ofilce, the reorganiza-
tion of the Attorney General’s office into the
Department ofJustice will take place. The
Solicitor General, two Assistant Attorney
Generals, a Chief Clerk, and several ' ad-
ditional'clerks will have to be appointed to
perfect the organizations. The Solicitor’s
Bureau of the Treasury, with the division
in it of the Secret Service, comes under the
new department, as does all the the cotton
and abandoned property and claims for cot-
ton and destroyed property, &c., in the
- Treasury Department. All the sugar and
tobacco cases &c., also come under this new
department, as well as the legal works of
all other departments, the district attoneys,
United States Marshalls, &c., throughout
the country. His commission will issue
after the return ‘of Judge Hoar to Wash-
ington, who will dispose of certain unfinish-
ed business in the Attorney General’s office,
to which he has been giving his attention.
Judge Hoar is expected to return some time
during the present week, when Mr. Akerman
will be sworn in. The Associated Press has
been furnished the following realative to the
mission to England :
There is no doubt whatever that Pres-
ident Grant recently mentioned ‘to several
Senators that he intends to remove Mr. Mot-
ley, the minister to England, as soon as a
suitable successor can be found. During
the conversation on this subject, the Presi-
dent incidentally mentioned the fact that
when he formed his Cabinet, having select~
ed A. T. Stewart for Secretary of the Tress-
nry,he intended to after Mr. Fish the mis-
sion to, England ; but after he had, for well,-
known reasons, withdrawn from the Senate
the nomination of Mr. Stewart, and after
Mr. Washburn had been transferred thorn
the department of State to the Spanish
mission, he tendered the Secretary of State-
ship to Mr. Fish, who reluctantly accepted
the position ; but consented to occupy it, at
least temporarily. While there is no ques-
tion that Mr. Fish can now have the mission
to England if he should so desire, it is
equally true, as ascertained from an altogeth§
er reliable scource, that no words have pass-
ed between the President and Mr. Fish. B.
FEBTIVALs.’—The Silver Mine ladies met
with good success at their,Festival, Monday
and Tuesday evenings.
As was naturally to have been expected,
the 2nd Methodist Festiva1,at Norwalk Hall
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, was
largely attended, and everything passed off
pleasantly for the guests and to the satisfac-
tion of the managers.
At Ely’s Hall on the same evenings, the
So. Norwalk Congregational Church FrJBfi.
val was, held, and from appearances on
Wednesday evening, we should think all in-
terested had every. reason to feel satisfied.
The children were ice creamed and straw-
berried and in enjoying themselves made
all others happy. -
St. Mary’s Festival was held at Norwalk
Hall three nights, and each evenings’ en-
tertainment commenced with a short Con-
cert, concluding with otheramusemente.
[3‘ The heat of Friday, Saturday and
part of Sunday was extreme, and very un-
usual for so early in the summer, ranging
from ninety to one hundred degrees—a point
seldom reached in this vicinity even for a few
hours in the hottest of seasons. Sunday
afternoon clouds came between us and the
Sun, moderating the heat and a’. few drops
ofrain fell, but the wished-for storm passed
aroundus.
[1‘ We are told that the “Furniture Pol-
is " party have had to resort to low diet
and Crotou oil, all the week. Nothing short
of Croton oil would start the inner coating
of varnish l One poor fellow thought
7 strychnine whiskey would do it, but it only
seemed to set the varnish, which had formed
a complete coating to his bOWels and ab-
dominal visera.

(3‘ In our last issue, we referred to-a-
somewhat singular case of disputed title,
and promised further particulars at a future
time. We have succeeded in obtaining
some of the factson which the present claim
for the property is based, and if true, not
only the present occupants, but those who
have been deprived of its possession and
use for fifty years, are deserving of sympa-
thy. The property in question is occupied
by Messrs. Weeks, Uhle, James Sherwood,
and Mrs Louisa Smith. It seems that by
an old law of this State, the husband had
What was called, the “life interest” or “life
estate” in the real property of the Wife and
could sell or otherwise dispose of that right,
but at his death the property would revert
to the wife or her heirs, she being the owner
in fee simple. The property referred to,be-
longed to Mrs Abigail Hanford, wife of
Zalmon Hanford. By virtue of an execu-
tion against Hanford, Samuel Cannon came
into possession of his life interest in this
property, in satisfaction of a debt to the
amount of $55.92 August 5th, 1820. He also
acquired in the same way, Hanford’s right of
redemption of a mortgage given to Eli B.
Bennett, March 4th, 1820, for $224.08. This
mortgage Cannon paid March 18th 1822, and
on June 18th 1822, sold the mortgage title
and the life interest to Samuel Gray for the
sum of $380.00. In April 1827, Samuel
Gray sold the property giving a warrantee
deed. Since then, it has been divided up
and sold over and over again.‘ Zalmon
Hanford died last year, and now the prop-
erty, the use of which she has been deprived
of for fifty years, reverts to his wife and she
comes forward in the person of her attorney,
Dr. Thomas Sims of Baltimore, Md., who
is her son-inelaw, and claims the property.
The Doctor, it is said, has engaged eminent
counsel and is prepared .to make a vigorous?
fight if necessary. If he succeeds in estab-
lishing his claim, it will show the cheapness
of warautec deeds and doubtless cause our
Town Clerk's Ofilce to become a more pop-
ular institution than it seems to have been
heretofore. It also affords a good illustra-
tion of those. augusi laws, some of which
are still in force, which seem to have been
enacted upon the principle that a married
woman had no rights that her husband was
bound to respect.
W The Town Meeting on Friday after-
noon last, held to consider the expediency
of building a bridge across tide-mill creek,
down town, and extending East Avenue
through the Benedict Farm, adjourned sine
die without action upon the question. There
is no doubt but that if this proposed im-
provement could be carried out it would be
a decided benefit to that part of the town,
but the general impression seems to be that
the work should be done at the Expense of
the managers of the “City of East Norwalk,”
and that the benefit to them would be so
much that they could well afi'ord to do it, for
the value of their remaining lots would be
greatly enhanced, and the chances of selling
greatly promoted. But some (if these gen-
tlemen have met with pecuniary reverses,
and they feel unable to carry out the project
as the public understood it was designed
at the time the property was first put in the
market, and therefore they ask the town to
do the work, believing that the increased
taxable value of the property would com-
pensate the town for the outlay. The action
of the two town meetings recently held,
however, settles the question for the present.
That the project will eventually be carried
out, either by the managers or by the town,
or by both_combined, we have no doubt.
“Be it known that votes in the Nutmeg
Legislature are dirt cheap, and the occasions
for selling them few and far between. Hence
the members will take anything they can
get, from a second-hand suit of clothes to a
first-class dinner and ten dollars.”—Oor.

lators are not to be despised for the small
figures of their charges, if they do charge

- 31‘!" Fourth. . ..
The ever-glOrious Fourth of July is com-
ing again and is almost here, yet we have
heard of no arrangements having been made
in this vicinity for its proper public celebra- ,
tion. Privately, however, each individual
will be expected to observe the day and
give vent to a certain amount of long pent-
up patriotism. Livery men, owners of fast
boats, dealers in fire crackers, ginger ‘ pop,
and fusil oil, molasses cake, peanuts, and et
ceteras, are making creditable arrangements
to “ assist.”
The only. public celebration we have
heard of is the one to come off at Wood-
stock, which, perhaps, will be big enough
for the entire nation, especially as the Presi-
dent and Cabinet will participate. As this
is the first Fourth as will witness “all men
free and equal” since the immortal declara-
tion, friend Woodford will have a fine
chance to spread the American eagle and
measure its wings.
Perhaps some will expect a patriotic
rhapsody from us on this occasion; but if
so, they will be disappointed. With the
mercury Skylarking around “100 above” we
don’t see it. If people want to sleep on that
day, let them spread a star Spangled banner
on the grass, take out the Declaration of In-
dependence, the 15th amendment and first
six volumes of Bancrofl’s history of our glo-
rious country, and read up till they fall
asleep and dream for themselves of the re-
splendent fortune of this ever great and glo-
rious “Land of the free and Home of the
Brave.”
WOn and after Friday next the Dan-
bury Railroad will charge ten cents for
single fare between Norwalk and South
Norwalk, but will sell tickets in packages
at the rate of six cents each. This ac-
tion is on account of the trouble experi-
enced in making change, we believe. The
effect will be simply to throw the entire
travel between these Stations upon the
Horse Cars.

ing the trip in the remarkably short time of
two hours each way, and does a full day’s

NORWALK, June 20th, 1870.
Mnssns Entrons :—Can you inform me
why it is that,the patrons of the Post Ofiice
Boxes are subjected to the annoyance] of
quarterly bills in advance of time, and
so placed in the boxes as to exclude the
view therein ? Unless a satisfactory reason
can be given for this practice the public
should demand its discontinuance.
CITIZEN.
We have ascertained from our P. M. “that
he is required by the Department to render,
on the first day of each quarter, a state-
ment of all boxes rented, all regular publi-
cations received and delivered to subscri-
bers, and to subscribe, under oath, that the
same have not been used or delivered till at
least one quarter's rent or postage has been
“ paid in adeance,” consequently all will see
the necessity of having these bills in the
boxes before the. first day of each quarter,
and the prompt settlement of the same.
As these bills are mostly for small amounts,
their payment a few ,days in advance is of
no consequence to any one except the P. M.
and is quite important to him. So good
friends, instead of getting vexed over this
matter “ down with the cue ,” and thus
comply with “ Uncle Sam’s” regulations.

m” The New Haven Lever in an article
on the Rev. Miss Olympia Brown has the
following :—“ A crowing hen mistaking her-
self for a rooster, or a pretentious chanti-
cleer, fancying himself an eagle and scaling
the highest heaven of invention, when he
has scarcely lifted his feet above the dung-
hill, are no doubt interesting subjects for
philosophic meditation. The recollections
of our boyhood are all tinged with a senti-
mental philosophy running in this direction.”
“ Susan” thinks that from present appear-
ances the “ crowing hen” may yet be able to
crow over the “pretentious ehanticleer” who

THE following lines were sent by a friend in 1847.

the numerous calls of late to make pictures after
death, bring them to mind so forcibly that I am in-

Would you seek in kindred hearts a fitting place,
Give them in style daguerrotypcd your face.
For to “secure the shadow ere the substance fade“
B artists skilled provision now is made.

His taste in taking faces that never fade )
And who, everybody knows, as everybo J on ht,
Is ready to “transfer” you with the spec of t ought,
0r wish, or swift decrees of fate, .
And fix your shadow on the silvered plate :
Then cased in richness you may easily possess
A lasting token, wihch in after years will bless
The heart of some kind friend, that oft shall gaze
U on the mellow tints transferred by gentle rays
,0 liaht, obedient to the_will of those who paint
In co ors so mysterious, in style so rich and quaint.
Then should yourself or friend he called away,
Death numbers not the gem that’s left in his array.
Ahl many are the hearts that low' will prize
Their power, who bring obedient Tram the skies
The charm to paint the form with power of art,
That stamps its impress on the gazer’s heart.
