Water For Norwalk.
An encouraging feeling Is again manifest-
ing itself among our best citizens towards
the introduction of water into this borough.
We sincerely hope the enterprise may be at
once entered upon, either by the organiza-
tion of a private company or by its adop-
tion by the borough. At all events let us
have the water. A copious, abundant sup-
ply of good and pure water is our greatest
necesgity. All admit this. Every dollar of
our borough tax might be met by water ren-
tals, ifthis were deemed wisest and best. It
is a well established fact that no investment
pays a better dividend than public water
works, in health, comfort and money. Let
us have wa tcr I

WCapt. Davis‘ Hatch arrived home on
Monday after a compulsory absence in St.
Domingo of some five years. He has had it
trying experience, but has acquitted him-
self most honorably, and his fellow-citizens
will rejoice in his safe return. His case has
recently engrossed the attention of the whole
nation, and is so full of interest that we hope
to publish in our next, from his own pen, a
full history of his wrongs. The 'matter of
according to him a public reception is al-
ready mooted, and we doubt not the sympa-
thy of his fellow-townsmen will assume this
shape as soon as he shall have recovered
from the mental and physical prostration
caused by his long imprisonment.
W The Borough meeting, on Friday
last, was quite largely attended, but no bus-
iness whatever was transacted. The meet-
ing seemed to have been called at an un-
fortunate time, the tax collectors being ex-
tremely lively, business dull, and the plans
designed to be carried out involving con-
siderable expense. At some more propitious
time, we presume the citizens will see the
matter in a different light.

The new Charter will not go into effect
unless accepted by a vote of the citizens
within the prescribed limits within six
months from the adjournment of the legisla-
ture. The following are the limits :
“Beginning at the north line of the Con-
necticut Turnpike one hundred and forty
feet west of the intersection of the west line
of Bouton lane with said turnpike; thence
southwesterly to the crossing of Roton
brook by the highway, near the residence of
Dr. W. C. Burke ; thence southeasterly, fol-
lowing the east bank of Roton brook to a
point due west of the north line of Wilson
street; thence southeasterly following the
north line of Wilson street,tointersection
with Bouton street at Springwood; thence
to the intersection of Meadow street, and
Wilson road ; thence easterly to the south
line of fence of the south dwelling house of
E. A. Woodward, following the said line to
the west shore of Norwalk harbor; thence
easterly to the htgh-water mark on the
southernmost point of Gregory’s Point;
thence northerly following the high water
mark on the main shore of Norwalk harbor
to a point opposite and due east of the vo-
ting district line, and following said voting
district line to West avenue; thence a due
west line to the northerly line of the Con-
necticut Turnpike to the point of begin-
ning.” -
The inhabitants living within the limits
of said city will remain, as at present, a

The odious Income Tax.
The Senate has had the bad grace to re-
store the detestable tax on incomes. This
was done when full one-third of the Sena-
tors were absent, and after the whole coun-
try had congratulated that body upon its
righteous repeal. Our democratic friends
are of course delighted that a republican
Senate has done what it can to restore it,
and thereby disgust the great body of its
followers. We still doubt the possibility of
the odious law being restored. There is a
boastful pride in showing to ‘thc aforetime
croakers of our own and foreign, countries
that we have paid over $20,000,000 of our
national debt the past month, and for the
first four months of the second year of
Grant’s administration‘ the total decrease of
the national debt has been $51,969,877 43,
an average of $13,000,000 pgr month, or
$156,000a year. At this rate the whole
debt of $2,386,,358,599-74 can be canceled
within 15 years. Here is an enormous fact,
and yet there are true and patriotic business
men who would much prefer to have! the
government pay $2,000,000 per month on
the principal of our debt, and leave its more
rapid extinguishment to the future, when
our nation shall be far richer in wealth and
population. Income tax can well be spared
and our party leaders ought to have the
sagacity to “let ’er-slide.”
WThe new Musical Society, “The Nor-
walk Choral Union,” will make their first

O
m” The San Domingo treaty was efi‘ect—
ually killed in the Senate last week. It was
so loaded down with, at least the probabili-
ties, of speculation and fraud, that it could
not stand the ordeal of a vote, although it
had the powerful support of the President.
The facts elicited on the Hatch investigation,
had also seriously damaged the scheme, al-
though Mr. Hatch himself is strongly in la-
vor of this government possessing itself of
the Island. If in the future it should be
deemed wise and best to annex it, we believe
with Capt. Hatch, that it will come to us a
free Will ofi'cring far more readily than by
paying any sum of money to Baez, its pres-
ent usurping ruler.

Bononon Momma—We regret vervmuch,
the hasty action taken at the Borough Meet-
without giving the petitioners for the meet-

several matters. All are entitled to the right
of petition and common courtesy should al-
low to all the privilege of a hearing. A full
and free interchange of opinions at a public
meeting, upon matters of puplic improve-
ments ought to be called out instead of be-
ing evaded or suppressed. Courteous treat-
ment should be freely cultivated in our 10-
cal afi‘airs and practised upon every oppor-
tunity. To-day your neighbor may appear
as a petitioner—to-morrow, you; if you are
discourteous and refuse him a hearing to-day,
he will probably turn your weapons upon
you to-morrow. It is a game that all can
play at, but is it a manly one I does it pay ?

A New York Collector.
A tremendous excitement was created in
the Senate on Friday last upon the Presi-
dent sending in a new batch of Federal ap-
pointeesfor N cw York. The hubbub is thus
described by the-Washington correspondent
of the New York Tribune :—
Shortly after 1 o’clock to-da , the changes
in the Federal offices in New ork were re-
ceived in the Senate, and in a few moments
the news was communicated to the New
York members of the House, who immedi-
ately congregated in one of the cloak rooms,
where for an hour . at least a sort of an
infornial indignation meeting was held.
Messrs. Hillhouse and Davis were voted ac-
ceptable, but. the nomination of Thomas
Murph as Collector, and the removal of
Gen. erritt, raised a storm of indignation
which was expressed in the most emphatic
manner. Mr. Murphy was denounced as a
Tammany Republican, an Andrew Johnson
Republican, a Thurlow Weed Republican, a
Conservative Republican, a bi oted Roman
Catholic, a champion of Gen. utler, and as
enerally unworthy the confidence of the
publican party of New York. The ex-
pression was general that he must not be
confirmed, and a canvass of the delegation
was made in order that they might present
their protest to the House. A majority of
the delegation pledged themselves to do
their utmost in the Senate to defeat him, and
save Merritt. The nomination of Mr. Mur-
phy and the removal of Gen. Merritt are
looked upon as the work of Gen. Butler and
Senator Conklin , and as a matter of course,
it is expected of r. Conkling that he will
endeavor to secure the confirmation of
Messrs urphy and Grinnell. Gen. Mer-
ritt ie I Own to be the special friend of Sen-
ator Fenton, and therefore Fenton must
work not only for the defeat of Grinnell,
but also of Murphy. No faultis found with
Gen. Merritt, but in making a fair distribu-
tion of the offices it became necessary for
him to retire. No slight is intended to Sen-
ator Fenton, as the ostmaster, Marshal,
Appraiser, and several of the Collectors and
Assessors of Internal Revenue in New York
are considered his friends and proteges.
Judge Davis and Mr. Hillhouse will be con-
firmed without opposition, but the fate of
Mr. Murphy is hard to foreshadow.

was in front of the residence of Samuel
Lynes, Esq., when the cannon was fired by
a lad in front of the old Fairfield County
Bank building, and bursting, one fragment
struck him in the face, lacerating his cheek
and nose in a very painful manner. It was
a narrow escape from avery serious calam-
ity. The same fragment of iron flew thro’
the window of Mr. Lynes’ residence and
came near injuring one of the inmates.
WA boy about thirteen years of age was
struck by the cow catcher of an engine on

celebrating, and had become so tired out
that he lay down on the track and went to
sleep. The engineer saw him, and reversed
the engine, but could not stop in time to
prevent hitting him. He was very seriously
if not fatally injured.

More about that Contested Property.
We have been furnished the following ad-
ditional particulars concerning the property
on Union Avenue: The town records of
Norwalk show, relative to the disputed
property that, on May 6th, 1818, David and
Silas Lockwood,by warrantee deed convey-
ed to Abigail Hanford, wife of Zalmon Han-
for, land at the bottom of Pudding Lane, so
called, in quantity 4 acres, 3 roods, 36 reds,
bounded north by land of Sherman Miller,
east by land of Widow Camp and Samuel
Camp, southerly by land of Widow Camp,
Jonathan Camp, J abcz Gregory and David
Lockwood, westerly by land of David Lock-
wood and the highway.
March 14th, 1820, Abigail Hanford and
Zalmon Hanford mortgaged the same to Eli
B. Bennett for $224.08 note on demand with
interest. -
August 19th, 1820, by virtue of an execu-
tion set ofi' to Samuel Cannon, all of Zalmon
Hanford’s interest, being the rise and im-
'provement of the same during his fibtural
life together with right ofredemption from a
mortgage executed by the said debtor and
his now present wife in whom the fee of the
land stood at the date of said mortgage deed
to Eli B. Bennett.
March 18th, 1822, Eli B. Bennett to Sam-
uel Cannon, Quit Claim Deed of same.
J unc 18th, 1822, Samuel Cannon to Samu-
el Gray, Warrantee Deed of same.
The town records do not show that Sam-
uel Cannon had foreclosed the mortgage in-
terest derived from Eli B. Bennett, but it is
acknowledged that the mortgage never was
paid, either principal or interest, and cer-
tainly after fifteen years undisturbed posses-
sion there would be no use of foreclosing
the mortgage if it had not previously been
done. Because the law of limitation would
of itself have perfected the title in the pos-
sessor. This warrantee deed was given up.
ing the woman’s, and this mortgage having
been given by her, if un—foreclosed, it was
her privilege to recover possession within
the time limited by the law. , It is however
to be presumed that as Judge Bissell trans-
acted all this business for Samuel Cannon,
from the quit-claim of Bennett to the War-
rantee to- Gray from Cannon, that a perfect
title at that time existed with Cannon.

We find the following item of local inter-
est in the Springfield Republican :
“The contest for the ($25) Gold Medal at
Williston Seminary came off last evening,
and A. H. Elwell, son of H. H. Elwell, Esq,
of South Norwalk, was the successful
speaker. The committee were out but a
moment and returned a unanimous report
in favor of young Elwell, who said they,
executed “Irish Aliens and English Victo-
ries” with wonderful power and effect. The
eleven speakers did not hesitate and the
exhibition wasone of the best ever given
in East Hampton. The Gold Medal.exhi-
bition will be made a permanent thing'af-
ter commencement week, and we congratu-
late young Elwell for his success in taking
the first honor.”
A correspondent of the Hartford Courant
gives the following description of the medal:
“The prize speaking of the graduates was
unusuall fine, and the old medal ofi‘ered
by Mr. WLP. Morgen, rofessor of Elocu—
tion, to the best of eleven speakers was
awarded to A. H. Elwell, of South Norwalk,
Conn. The Medal is circular, one side hear-
ing a scroll with these words on it: “For
excellence in oratory, June 27th, 1870, Wil-
liston Sem.,” and on the reverse, “Presented
to——.” The Williston prizes. establish-
ed somc time since by J. P. Williston, of
Northampton, are awarded to the best
speakers of the seminary at the end of the
fall term, but the feeling that something of
the kind was wanting at the close of the
year, and a desire that a reward more sub-
stantial than greenbacks should be given,in—
duccd Mr. Morgan to offer this medal on his
own account, with aprospect that an en-
dowment would be made for the perpetua-
tion of the prize.”

The Star sensibly protests against the in-
temperate use of ice-water during dog-days.
It suggests an expedient very commonly rc-
sorted to in the South by which cool water
may be cheaply procured. It says:
“But the greatest waste of ice is in the
preparation of cool water for drinking. The
inhabitants of many tropical countries are
accustomed to keep water cool without the
use of ice at all. The means employed are
very simple. The water is kept in a porus
earthern jar, which is surrounded with a
wet cloth, and the whole apparatus is sus-
pended in a draught of air, away from the
direct rays of the sun. The evaporation of
the water through the pores,,and from the
outside of the jar, keeps the interior cool.”

_ now to Elston to a Fugue.
To those who purpose to attend the Organ
Recital and Concert next week, the follow-
ing article, re-written from the N. Y. Weekly
Review, may be useful:
If you wish to understand a Fugue, listen
closely to the first notes, which are given
out distinctly, one at a time. Then a duet
commences, in which the upper and lower
part must repeat the “subject,” a melody
already given. After the duct comes a trio,
with the same subject in the highest or low-
est set of notes. When the trio is finished,
a quartet begins, and then, as before, you
will find the subject either at the top or
bottom. Now the fight thickens, and the
subject, in contending with other melodies,
is often broken into fragments. An atten-
tive ear, however, will discover that even
this mutilated subject is cogstantly strug-
gling to make itself heard, and that it will
succeed in asserting its claim to prominence
in some part of the turmoil. Just before
close of the composition, when the scien-
tific resources of “ counterpoint” have been
employed, and the various melodies engaged
have contended for mastery, be sure you
will see confusion ended, and your old
friend the first subject triumphantly vaunt-
ing himself the unmolestcd conqueror. The
reason people dislike fugue is that they ex-
pect the melody always in the upper part,
and seldom find it. He who imagines the
whole interest of music to consist in a pret-
ty melody, or the effect of chords, knows
not the charm of the orchestra with the
manoeuverings of its instrumentation, its
arts and intrigues of figure; nor can be
fully enjoy any fine composition of more
intricacy than a simple ballad. Listening
attentively to fugue opens to the vision vast
fields of inusical beauty. Hunting for the
melody, when obscured by three inferior
melodies or accompaniments, is a source of
keen enjoyment to an educated musical
mind. A musician, once in the habit of un-
ravelling and dissecting intricate fugues,
looks upon compositions where all the bean-
ties arc upon the surface, inugh as a chess
player looks upon cards. In Bach’s do not
look for delicate contrasts of light and shade,
for quiet sentimental effects, for dramatic
power. They have a character of their own,
a healthy vigor and manliness, as well as
being am to the core of intellectual strength:
they may be compared more filly to huge
sublime rocks than to sweet violets and the
charming forget-me-not.

THE SAN DOMINGO REPORTS!
The reports of the majority and minority
of the select committee of the Senate on the
imprisonment of Mr. Davis Hatch, an Amer-
ican citizen, by the Baez Government in San
Domingo, agree on one point. and that IS
that Mr. Hatch was imprisoned for alleged
political offences. It is not denied that the
Dominican Secretary of State, Gautier, ofii-
cially advised our government that Mr.
Hatch was detained in prison after his par-
don had been legally decreed by the Do-
minican legislative body, and that the rea-
son for his detention was that it was believed
that, if set at liberty, he would interfere
with the projects for annexing the country
to the United States.
An issue is thus made up which the coun-
try can readily understand. *The majority
of the committee (Nye, Howard, Williams,
and Warner) hold that the unlawful incar-
ceration of an American citizen by a foreign
government is not of sufficient consequence
to make any fuss about; The minority of
the committee (Shurz, Ferry, and Vickers)
contend that an outrage has been committed
upon Mr. Hatch by the Dominican Govern-
ment, for which reparation should be de-
manded. ,
In the light of these facts, the conduct of
Major Babcock sinks into insignificance.
. The minority of the committee say that he
not only did not do anything to procure
Mr. Hatch’s release, but discouraged others
from doing so. If this be true, Senator
Sumner was right in saying that he ought
to be cashiered. But the main question is
about the unlawful imprisonment of an
American citizen. If there is any responsi-
ble government in San Domingo, and the
fact that we are negotiating for the purchase
of the island presumes that there is, a de-
mand, backed by ships of war, should be
made upon it for indemnification. If a simi-
lar outrage had been perpetrated by Great
Britain, or France, or Austria, the country
would be profoundly agitated by it, and the
government would be compelled to take the
most prompt: and decisive steps concerning
it. Shall anything else be done because the
offending country is a weak and semi-bar-
barous power ? Are the rights of American
citizens any the less in San Domingo than
in England? Messrs. Nye and Howard
would lead us to suppose either that an out-
rage of this character is an affair of no con-
sequence, by whatever government perpe-
trated, or that it ceases to be of any conse-
quence when perpetrated by a tenth rate
power. The tenor of their argument indi-
cates that it is of no consequence under any
circumstances. , ‘
trust that this question will be thor-
oug 1y discussed in the Senate, and that the
yeas and nays will be taken upon it. There
need be be no fear of jeopardizing that gum-
elastic treaty with Baez by delay. Before
we pay any money to him for selling his
country, let him settle that little bill With
Mr. Davis Hatch, of Connecticut.

The President In Connecticut.
The Presidential party arrived on Satur-
day morning, and was duly welcomed to
the State in accordance with the programme
previously published. At Stamford, the
President was formally received by Gov.
English, in a short speech.
At South Norwalk a large crowd of peo-
ple assembled to see'the President. As the
train stopped, about 10% a. m.,he appeared
on the rear platform of the last car, accom-
panied by Ex.-Govs. Jewcll and Hawley,
and was introduced to the people by Gen.
Hawley. The people responded with cheers
and some called for a “ speech," but the
President did not seem inclined to gratify
them. He shook hands cordially with sev—
eral persons who were presented—and as
the train moved off politely raised his hat
in acknowledgment :of the parting cheers.
At Bridgeport he was taken into a. carriage
and driven rapidly through the city to East
Bridgeport, where'he again took the cars.
At New Haven he had a fine reception,
was presented to the Legislature, &c.
He spent Saturday and Sunday with Gov.
Jewell at Hartford, and on the 4th attended
the celebration at Woodstock, and then
Spent the night with Senator Buckingham
at Norwich. He leaves New London to-
night, for New York. Mrs. Grant and the
children have already returned.

FRIDAY MORNING July 1.
Bill repealing the general misconduct
clause of the statute de divorce was called
up. Section one strikes out the words:
“Or any such misconduct as permanently
destroys the happiness of the petitioner and
defeats the purposes of- the married rela-
tion.” ;Seetion two provides that without
actual notice, no divorce shall be granted
during the first term of the court after the
suit is brought. After a long debate the
bill passed.
HOUSE—Prayer by Rev. Mr. Lobdell.
Mr. Brewster called up the bill extending
the limits of town and city of Bridgeport,
reported favorably. The report of the com-
mittee goes at length into the facts of the
case. *
Mr. Clark, of Fairfield, felt it his duty to
enter a solemn protest against this bill.
Mr. Clark concluded by offering an amend-
ment requiring a vote of approval by the
voters of the territor to be annexed.
Mr. Wheeler said r. Clark was a citizen
of Bridgeport, in every sense except being
a taxpayer. He is a manufacturer in Bridge-
port, but lives on the Fairfield side of the
street dividing the town. He has flagwalks
to go home on; is lighted home by the city
and the police patrol before his door. His
land had risen in value from $1,000 to $20,-
000 an acre, by reason of the improvements
of the city, to which he had not contributed.
The fire department of Bridgeport once
saved the village Black Rock, from de-
struction, and received a' card of thanks,
while it cost Bridgeport $500 to repair the
engines after this service. Mr. Wheeler
hoped the bill would pass. without further
discussion.
Mr. Clark said he regarded it no more than
fair that the people principally interested
should have the privilege of saying whether
they wish to be annexed. The people had
voted on their city charter. The popular
doctrine of this country is, let the majority
rule, and that is all we ask here. He asked
the yeas and nays on his amendment. Mr.
Olmstead moved the previous question.
The amendment was rejected and the bill
passed.
- Mr. Johnson then called up the bill
amending the charter of the Ridgefield and
New York Railroad Company, so as to au-
thorize an extention of the road to Danbury,
and extending for three cars the time for
building the road. Mr. ohnnson who was
one of the minority, proceeded to explain
the points in the case. The company now
has a charter fora road from the State line
in Greenwhich, to the northeast quarter of
Ridgefield, and ask for power to extend to
Danbury to connect with the Boston and
Erie. Mr. J. gave the reasons why this new
outlet to New York should be opened to
people living alongTQe proposed route.
Mr. Bacon of Middletown, was generally
in favor of sustaining the reports of com-
mittees, and believed that it should be done
in this case. He was a member of the House
when this Ridgefield road was chartered.
Danbury didn’t ask to have it run to that
place, because the solemn assurance was
given that it should never run to Danbury
and connect with the Norwalk. In three
years they have graded but six miles of
road. It looks as if it were the intention in
spite of their solemn assurance, to smuggle
through this new road to Danbury. He was
opposed to interfering with established
roads. The faith of the State, in a measure,
was pledged against it. It was impossible
for a railroad to become a monopoly, for
they were all under control of the State, and
it would be better to deal directly with the
road, and not try to slaughter it off in this
way. It had been said that the Norwalk
charges from 5 to 6 cants a mile for passen-
gers. An arrangement goes into effect to-
day, by which the fare will be reduced to
3% cents per mile. The Norwalk road has
built a branch roadto Ridgefield, but it does
not appear on the maps prepared by the en-
gineers favoring this new line. The branch
was built expressly for the accommodation
of Ridgefield.
The report of the committee was rejected,
and the bill passed.
Two resolutions fixing the number of
members at 80 in the Rippowam and the
Gulf Stream engine companies, of Stam-
ford; passed.
Resolution providing for a consolidation
of the different descriptions of stock in the
Housatonic railroad, called up and ex-
plained by Mr. Johnson and passed.
