“Water, Water Everywhere.
But, not uni-op to Drink 1 "
A corresfindent, who has thought and
written much on the water question, writes
us a private note saying we may think he
has water on the brain, and if so, so be it,
but there is certainly none in the village.
The need, in fact, the necessity of a water
supply is apparent to every one. We rejoice
' to know that a competent Committee has
been appointed by the Borough authorities
to examine the various sources of supply,
and that. they have entered upon that duty
with promptness and a determination to ac-
complish the result:
This Committee have examined the
springs 'on the hills west of the town, the
Silver Mine and Bone Mill streams, and the
Allan Betts Brook. To-day theyhave gone to
Umpawog Pond, to examine and determine
the feasibility of bringing that down. If
this be found to be pure and soft spring-wa-
ter, inasmuch as nature has provided the
requisite reservoir, it might be economy to
canal it- down, inasmuch as the .longer the
distance the water is run the purer it be-
comes. We fear, however, that it will be
found impregnated with lime, which is in-
jurious to steam boilers and not deemed
quite desirable for family uses. But it is
wise and best that every point should be
examined and the best place secured.
, The difference between ourselves and our
correspondent is, that he would secure eith-
er the Gibbs’ spring on Knight street and
pump the water up into a reservoir, or the
spring in Dr. Mead’s lot on the Westp'ort
road, and rely upon either one of these small
sources of supply. We are entirely familiar
with these springs and twenty others. much
better, but we should deem any one of them
entirely inadequate to our necessities. Our
examinations in and about Norwalk have
been exhaustive. Ohe entirely feasible and
economical plan suggested, was the pur-
chase of the Allan Betts’ mill site, and use
the power to pump the water intoa reser-
voir to be made on the crest of the-hill north-
east of the Episcopal church. ' Another
cold spring brook, far preferable to either of
‘ our cor-respondent’s sourcesfand butJittle if
any more costly, is that rising in the woods
to the rear of the old Camp Homestead
farm, and flowing in clear and cold volume
just northeast of the family mansion. Then
for a steam pumping arrangement, the boil-
ing spring, a natural curiosity, near Broad
River Bridge, would supply a ten inch pipe
the year round, with the requirement ofa
reservoir on the highest point on Prospect
Hill. Anything short of an ample supply
will be a waste of money and a misery. A
half a loaf is better than no bread, we know,
but not when by the introduction of only a 3
or 4 inch supply into this large and rap-
idly growing town, would imperil the intro-
duction of an ampk supply for all our pur-
poses of family, ornamental, fire and power
uses, Silver Mine or Umpawag will do
this, With head enough to be of more value
than cost, as a mfiive power alone. '
We have all felt the need of clearing out
our harbor in order to maintain some of ou'r
ancient trade “at the head of sloop, naviga-
tion.” With water here to rent, as a power
to smaller workshops and industries, and
our enticements are tenfold what a deeper
navigation could induce. Now that many
ofour ables! and most determined citizens
are. thoroughly in earnest as torts introduc—
. tion, and are already at work critically ex
amining all surrounding streams, the next
matter is as to the best' modes of its. intro~
ductionr On this point: We have also been
at much pains, and expense to acquaint out-
selves, We have traveled thousands of
miles in examining the water works “of 0111.
er cities and towns, and we unhesi‘mfingly
aver that it is best for the peopfie that it
should-be introduced, owned and, controlled
by Idle BONUgh- A PI’Ivate C'Jmpany could
easrly realize 97°C. 25 to 40 per cent. from
their outlav’ because when the pipes are
ppce album, the good Lord. supplies free all
...e material sold-
Our correspondent objects to the Borough
assuming the pecuniary responsibility of
this enterprise, because as he avers, it is al-
ready “so heavily in debt that we cannot
pay the interest.” If such be the fact, it is
the very strongest argument why the Boro’ .
should go into the water business. It could
easily pay half its current expenses, inclu-
ding interest on its debt, with a full supply
ofwater. Then consider what we business
men in and about the Ridge can save in in-
. surance, and in damage to goods by flyifig
dust. In a single large factory in New
Britain, we visited, eight years ago, they
were paying one hundred dollars a. month less
insurance, on the same amounts, and in the
same Companies, since the introduction of
water, with hydrants and hose throughout
their buildings. We presume, without any
information on the subject, that our Union
M’f’g Co. pay $50 per month, fire insurance,
one-half of which might be saved by the in-
troduction of water works, and so on,
throughout the Borough, at the same ratio.
If the works he owned by a corporation,
they are going to place their pipes only
where it will pay a very heavy per cent. If
owned by the Borough, or otherwise by the
people themselves, the, water will be gener-~
ally diffused, and the great mass of our pop-
ulgtion will be permitted to enjoy the ines-
timable blessing. So far as we are individ-
_ally concerned, it would be to our pecunia-
ryadvantage to have a company introduce
it. But that the masses of 3the people may
use and enjoy it, at the lowest possible cost,
consistent with the expenditure, We prefer
. the public should own and run the yvorks.
But one way or the other, water 'we must
have, if we hope to maintain our prospefity,
and it now really looks as if we were ‘0 get it.
With. Bishop, President of the N. Y. &
N.’H. R. R., has given us his personal assur-
ance that he will have guards placed at the
South N orwalk crossings. This is the most
dangerous point on the whole road, and as
the Danbury road is ready to bear its pro-
portion of the expense of gates, we hope
Mr. Bishop will not longer delay their adop-
tion. At Meriden, and at Springfield, where
. the crossing are not: half so dangerous, pole
with the passage
gates are swung to and fro
of every train. '

WOur friend, Dr. Brown, ex-P. M. at

News, giving vent to his “sense of wrong."
It is the old story, and the Dr’s. experience
is but another lesson to those who would
hold public office. Self-respect, independ-
ence of thought and action, are often sacri.
ficed by the best of men for some paltry of-
fice. - .

Spree. I
“All work and no play makes Jaeka
dull boy,” says the proverb. And it is be-
. cause we feel a just pride in having 0111'
Connecticut Legislators just as smart as
those of any other State, that we feel less
inclined than some of our cotemporaries to
censure that grave and dignified body for
throwing off its stiff rigidity and like boys
let out of school, having right down, good and
high old “time qu't,” as they (lid, under the
auspices of “Boss Twce ,” at Gl'cell“:lcll,011
Saturday. No modern character, not even
Count Bismarck, has been more bitterly as-
sailed than the aforesaid Tweed, and yet
We are disposed to award him the highest
qualities of genius. Rcared in the rugged
school of poverty and the dirtier pool of
New York politics,he has shown a capa—
bility so great, a sagacity somarvclous, that
to-daynot only is he peerless among those
who rule the chief commercial empori-
um of the western world, but even the leg-
islature of the Empire state hastens to‘ do
his bidding, and now the more Puritanic and
pious legislature of Connecticut go caparing
after him, with heads and tails high in air,
like cows in the corn. Now there is some—
thing in a man who can produce such results,
that does not appear on the surface.’ Such
absolute power of transformation, and mes—
meric influence does not come of any theo-
retical big-heartedness, or sentimental gener-
osity. NC'S'enatorial district in _this State
was the subject of so much remark last
Spring, and bitter rebuke from Republican
quarters, as we of the 12th, because with a
clear Republican majority of two hundred,
we elected Woodward, ' democrat, by near
four hundred. In vain we iterated and reit-
erated that “Bill Tweed” did it. Nobody
could understand it, and we have borne our
humiliation up to this hour offinal triumph,
with only the consolation, that we had sent
up to New Haven, the best natured, the best
looking and-"jolliest senator of the whole lot.
Thc'chairman’ship of the Female Suffrage
committee fell to him as naturally as tad-
poles turn to toads. But now has come the
sublime hour of our vindication. To see
Tweed shut up the Connecticut Legislature
like a jack-knife, and quietly put it into his
.pocket and carry it ofl‘ to Greenwich, is such
complete answer to all the abuse heaped up—
on the old 12th District, that we are in no
mood-for scolding. And here we make pub—
lic proclamation, that if Woodward is run for
Congress, or Governor, or any" other office
at present existing or to be created, he will
be elected and all that can be said about it
is, “Bill Tweed did it,”
The reason is obvious. Politicians ofoth-
er eras have made appeals to the reason and
understanding oftheir constituents. Tweed
is a philosopher. He has been a close observ-
er of human nature. He is a practical man
and-carries his observations to the profit
side of the ledger. He has discovered that
Whereas few politicians of the modern
school reason, all eat. That one bottle of
green-seal is worth ten orations in produc-
ing an exhilerating effect upon the under-
standing. In fine that while thc average pol-
itician’s head. (before the feast) measures but
seven-a'nd-a-quarter inches, his belly is sure
to go thirty-six to fifty, and common sense
and sagacious man that he is, he goes right
straight for the largest part of the man.

STATEMENT OF MRIIIATCII.
Follow-Townsmcn of Namath :—
The kind and generous sympathy you
have manifested for me, and your confidence
in my honor and integrity as a man, while
seemingly under the ban of one branch of our
national government, which sealed my lips
to the public during the invcstigationof my~
diffiéultics with Prcs’t. Baez, which I asked
of our government from the first, impel me
now to break that silen‘ee and give you a
brief account of some of the more important
facts in the case which the investigation has
left involved in some mystery.
I see it charged upon me thatI had the
petition presented at the Clinic in order to
operate against the annexation treaty, and
that my petition to the Senate was out of or-
der and showed a want of confidence in the
Executive branch of our government, “ and
an attempt, by making my alleged griev-
ances public, to pi'event a fair consideration
of the treaty of annexation; to arouse un-
founded prejudices against it, and finally to
dcfeatit." This charge is in keeping with
other misrepresentations presented before
the committee which were refuted by evi-
dence as clearly as this can be done.
‘Whilc at. St. Thomas, I received a letter
from Senator Ferry, dated “May 12t ,” in
which he writes: “It is too late in the ses-
sion to have any definite action taken in
your case till the next. Yourpetition and
papers, however, should be forwarded at
once. Your mode of proceeding is, first, to
demand of the Baez government, indemni-
ty; second, upon neglect or refusal. to re-
spond,——- a petition, to the U. S. gov-
ernment through the State Department to
enforce your demand on the Baez govern—
ment; third, both the foregoing failing, a
petition to Congress 'for its interventi .
Congress will not intervene till the (it or
modes have failed.” I did non of course,
presume to give any advice to Mr. Ferry as
to the time or manner of presenting the pe-
tition. » I did not expect it would be pre-
sented this session; and I understand he
did not intend to present it; but was in:
~duccd to do so from.motives entirely for-
eign to the consideration of the treaty of an-
nexation, which hehas no doubt explained
to the Senate. His straightforward and in—
dependent course in the Senate, which I
have heard commended by foreigners abroad ‘
as well as citizens of the U, S., has been
such that it will be difficult to make any.
o;e believe that he has attempted to defeat
the treaty by chicanery.
' On announcing the result of the treaty in
the Senate, I notice some of the papers ex-
press the opiuio‘n that the discussion in the
Hatch-Babcock affair damaged the treaty ;
but I do not believe it'was the reabcause of
its defeat. It is not easy - 'to do: age any-
thing already in a state of putrefaction.
Why, theevidcnce clearly shows that it was
even conceived 2'72. corruption, 'for the man
Cazenau was-the “unnatural” father of it;
and it further" appears in evidence, that Mrs.
Cazcnau nursed it, for there is no mistaking
the language in the letters signed by her
husband. Why Gen. Babcock should make
a confidant-and bosom friend of this man
after being warned by Secretary Fish on the
eve of his departure -for Santo Domingo—
that he had no confidence in him, does not
appear. A man occupying the position of
Mr. Fish would not have ventured to warn
Gen. Babcoek- against this man withOut hav-
ing good and efficient reasons for so doing.
His (Cazenau‘s) character had become too
notorious by his being the originator of the
American West India Company, in which
an investment of less than $4,000 in Wild
lands in Sauto’ Domingo, (taken from the
registry there) formed the capital of the
Company, fixed at ,two millions of dollars.
Whatever he possessed he realized from
that Company, while nothing was ever re—
turned to the stockholders of principal or
interest. ,I have felt this explanation to be
necessary, because it has been by his associ-
ation with Gen. Babcock and Cazcnau’s be-
ing the counsellor of President Baez, that
the latter felt that he could persecute me
with impunity. The cause of the enmity
of these two persons is now too well known
to require repetition here. ._ Their friendship
would destroy the reputation of any man.
When I first went to Santo Domingo, in
1862, I wasadvised by prominent men here
to avoid him (Cazenau) as he was a jealous,
envious, and mischievous man; and I did
not meet him the first two years of my be-
ing there, and was brought; into contact
with him accidentally in 1865; but no inti-
macy ever existed between us. Fabcns was
associated with him in the “fest India 00.,
and in all his other schemes in Santo Do—
mingo, He has been known to charge Caze‘
mm with cheating him out of his share of the
spoils ; but they seem to be well calculated
by nature to be together. '_
In the published report, a great circum-
stance is made of a “bill of health," as~it is
called, given by me to what has been repre-
sented as the piratical steamer “Telegrafo,”
and as .Gcn. Babcock in his evidence says
that he considered that as conclusive proof
of my guilt, though he says he never saw
the document, nor any one who had seen it,
it calls for an explanation from me. As
nothing of the kind was mentioned in the
charges preferred against me, nor had I
heard’anything pf it until I saw it in the re-
port, I had never. alluded to it in my state-
ment of facts to Senator Ferry. In fact,it
.was‘ so insignificant a matter that'it had cs-
capcd my memory entirely.
The facts are these: The “Telegrafo,” I
'was told,was under the exclusive control of
Luperon ; and this together with the fact
that she had committed some dcpredations
upon Several little'yessels in Azua, annoyed
Cabral, and he declined having anything to
do with her or Luperon either. Luperon,
'therefore, dismantled her and ordered her to
proceed to St. Thomas to be delivered over
to her owners, and he sailed the same day
in an English schooner for Inagua. Mr.
Pujol’was requested to despatch her, and-
‘thinking that my signature to a certificate
furnished her, that the port was healthy, as
I was well known in St. Thomas, asked me'
to sign it as a merchant, and I did 50. Ca-
bral‘ and Luperon had had serious differen—
ces at St. Thomas, while planning the rev-
olution, as I learned on my arrival there,
and Cabral looked upon Luperon as nearly
as much of an enemy to the true interests of
the country as Baez. Had the facts been
otherwise, I should probably have signed
,the certificate with Pujol.‘ They had been
six weeks. in undisturbed possesison of all
of that part of the country. I had knew no
other authority there, and looked to them
for protection. Gen. Babcock admits in his.
testimony that «he knew nothing whatever
about my case, except what he learned from
Baez, Cazcnau acting as interpreter, the
very man whom Secretary Fish told him be
had no confidence in. He was sent to San-
.to Domingo as the special and confidential
agent of President Grant, who had solemnly
“promised in his inaugural, protection to cit-
izens abroad,~ native 01' naturalized; and
yet he, (Babcock) with only this or part6 ev-
idence, tells Baez that he has the law on
his side" and our Government probably
would not interfere; and he did his utmost
to prevent our government from interfering,
to gratify this petty‘tyrant. Gen. Babcock
testifies that he told the President that he
.had received a very abusive letter from me,
but did not read it to him ; and the majority
report of the committee says my letter was
manifestly written under the influence of
wild surmises and in a rancorous spirit.
The letter was written after I had . been six‘
mdnths and a half in prison, where a son of
Baez was dod‘keeper, and a brother of his,
governor of the Province. Before I had
heard that any o‘he had taken the least in-
terest in obtaining my release; but on the
contrar , had been informed by apt. Buncc
of the . S. ship “Nantasket,” that Baez’ at-
torney general had told him that my. case
had been investigated by, Commissioners
from the State Dc 'artment three months
previous, of which knew he was one, and
which report I knew must have been against
me from the fact of my being Still held a
prisoner. I think, under the circumstances,
a little rancor, if not altogether justifiable,
was at least excusable. If he, ‘Gen. Bab-
cock, is satisfied with the two reports of the
committee, I amfar from being displeased,
in proof of which, I have asked for several
extra copies to distribute among my friends
in the U. S. and to send abroad where I am
known. I Wmte Senator Ferry, I felt much
more solicitude to maintain the reputation~1
- is incomprehensible.
have hitherto enjoyed, than to obtain indem-
nity for the wrongs committed. That I es-
caped with my life I am mainly indebted to
a strong constitution never impaircdb any
excess. 1 still refuse to believe that esi-
dent Grant, prejudiced as he was against me
at" the commencement by ea: pa/rto reports
from those in whom hehad confided, has
gven now a clear understanding of all the
acts. : ‘ ,
But nothing during all my 'trials .pained
and grieved me so much as the conduct of
some of our naval commanders in Santo Do-'
mingo, but more 'cspecially that of Lieut.
Commander Bunce, in command of the
“Nantasket.” Five months aftermyimpris—
onment in Azua, he came there, 26th Jan.,
to bring Mr. Baez and two of his ministers.
I wrote him immediately after hearing of
his arrival, but strict orders having been giv-
en not to allow any letters taken from me to
the officers, itwas only on the third day I
happened to see paymaster Wright from my
window and ,bcckoncd to 'him to come to
me, which he did, pushing his wa past the
guard who tried to stop him. had met
him before while in the “Peoria.” I gave
him a full account of the barbaritics« to
which I had been subjected, and gave .him
the letter to the Commander, and requested
him to ask Capt. Buncc to call and see me,
when I was sure I could satisfy him of my
entire innocence of any complicity in the
rcVolution against the government; and fur-
thermore, that the sentence had been com-
muted to banishment on the previous 4th of
October without proviso. He made a very
unsatisfitctory and unkind reply to this note:
I wrote him a accent? and third note, repeat-
ing and urging my request tor an interview,
but be neither came to see me or replied to
either of them. On meeting Paymaster
'Wright in Santo Domingo after my release,
I asked him why he did not call to see me
again, to which he replied that President
Baez had told Capt. Buncc and all the oili—
eers not to visit me. “Then,” said I,~“if you
had the heart of an American you Would
have come the sooner for this interdiction;
for you might have known from this that he
was pcrs cuting me without cause.” . He
said he w uld have. cheerfullv done all in
his power to assist me, but he only occupied
a subordinate position. Never before in all
my life did I express a regret, that I was a
citizen of the U. S. instead of an English-
man. Admiral Poor, -in his dispatch to the
Secretary of the Navy, March 12th, says:
“During this interview, the subject of the
imprisonment of ,Mr. Hatch, an American
citizen, was introduced; ” and his explana-
tion was that “my connection with parties
and presses in the U. S., hbstilc _to Santo Do-
mingo. would exert an influence there upon
public opinion that would be very detrimen-
tal to the interests of Santo Domingo with
regard to'a-nnexation.” To which the Ad-
miral graciously and condescendingly re-
plied that he thought “clemencg and prompt
acquiescence in the request of the Secretary
of State for the release of Hatch would exert
a greater influence to his advantage than
anything that Hatch or. his friends could do,
with the aid of the press to the contrary. It
is of the word clemency here of whichI have
to complain, for I wrote our commercial
agents, Messrs. Smith and Perry, from the
first, not to ask my release as a favor but to
demand it as a right; .and I understand all
my letters to them they had laid. before the
Admiral. When I wrote him (the Admiral)
in St. Jago, on the 8th of April, he told me
distinctly; that he demandechy release asa
right and did not ask it as a favor; and in
engaging with Baez that I should go to Ha-
vana in the “Yantic,” if I arrived there in
time, be presumed I would be glad of so
good an opportunity to get on my way
home, and that it was not due to the favor'
of Baez. In a subsequent dispatch he says:
“The Mr. Hatch referred to in my dispatch
of the 12th inst, was delivered into my
hands by President Baez just in time to be
'sent to. Havana in the "Y antic,’ and from
thence toz‘llbc sent to New For .” What he
means by being “delivered into his hands”
I went from the ves-
sel with Mr._Perry direct to the commercial
agency, and was there when the note came
from the Admiral saying that, ‘as he had
made it a point with President Baez that I
should leave in the “Yantic;” if 1 arrrived
up in time, I must go. I protested, and told
Mr. Perry to reply that I would not leave
until I had had a few hours to obtain. my
personal effects from which I had been sep«
arated six months and a half, and knew not
where they were, and to settle my affairs
there. A few moments later another note
camcfrom the Admiral saying he had re-
'ccived a note from‘Mr. Baez insisting upon
my leaving in the “Yantic” as agreed upon
between them. N o thought or consideration
was had for me after all my trials and 5qu
ferings, neither for my rights as a citizen of
the U. S., only for the tyrant, who inflicted
them ; a-man who‘sc whole life has been one:
series of abuse of the Government and peo-
ple of the U. S., but had now entered into
this mis-alliance to save himself from being
a'third time deposed and sent out of the
country; and for the opportunity he thou ht
it would afford him to makea speculation
out of it. Upon reflection, and ,feelin the
need of a change of air, diet and scene, de-
,cided to go, and left with little more than
an hour’s notice, and that at night. From
Havana I took the Spanish steamer for St.
Thomas which calls at Santo Domingo, in—
stead of being sent to New York as the Admi-
ral advised. . Herewc see the same determi-
nation on the part of Admiral Poor- and
Capt. Buncc, to shield Baez at whatever
cost or sacrifice to me, so clearly manifested
by Gens. Ingalls, Sackett and Babcock. In
their testimony they attempt to ignore all
knowledge of my actual situation, and did
not feel it to be any part of their duty,
through agents of our Government, to pro-
test or enquire into my case: and yet there
is the letter of Capt Buncc to me on record,
saying: “I have called on the Attorney
General who‘ informs me that your case has
been considered by the representatives of
the State Department of the U. S.,that I can
ascertain from the commercial gent, Mr-
Perry, all particulars and the ac ion taken
by him, Babeock, Ingalls and Sackett, and
the Commissioners, in the affair, during
their late visit to the Island." . Who is to
be blamed? 4 Senator Cole, who visited Sun-
to Domingo last August for the express pur-
pose of acquiring correct information, said
in the discussion on the 9th of March, that
this Attorney General, Delmontc, was a man
of high character, on whom he would rely
' implicitly in any case like that of Mr. Hatch.
General Babcock testifies “ Inever told
him (Cazneata or anybody else that I did
not wish Mr. atch released on account of
anything that he would do or say against
annexation,»because I understood he was
in favor of it;" and further on that “ he
(Cazneau) never used an influence to try to
get me to have Mr. Hatch retained.” And
yet we find in.thc evidence a letter from this
Cazu'eau, of whom Mr. Fish told General
Babcoek he had no confidence in him;
dated February 19th, addressed, “My dear
General 2” in which he makes a bitter‘com-
plaiut against Mr. Perry, Commercial Agent,
and says, “ as you must have observed be-
fore you left,-Perry‘ cannot discriminate be-
tween those minor matters which will bear
postponement and the higher necessities
which cannot wait.” His ruling, idea now
is to obtain the liberation of Ir. Hatch."
“'Hatch is known to correspond with the
New York Times and other papers known
to be opposed to annexation.” “ A few
week‘s restraint of Hatch would not be so
inconvenient to him as his slanderous state-
ments might become to the success of, Gen—
eral Grant’s policy in the Antilles.” “I re-
plied I thought President Baez had the right
and ought to do every thing in his power to
serve and protect negotiationsin which our
President was so deeply interested.” Now,
can any one believe with this testimony be-
fore him that there had not been an under-
standing between Babcock'and Caznea‘u in
regard to my detention until the negotia-
tions were concluded? Is. it reasonable to
suppose Cazueau would address such a letter
to his frienp Babcock if they had not had
free and familiar intercourse in regard to
me, notwithstanding Babcock's denial of it ?
There seems to have been a. bitch in the
treaty negotiations, and as General Sackett
testifies, “ it looked as though it was going
to be a failure.” Ca‘Zneau, the originator,
principal negotiator and counselor, on the
part of Baez at least, prqposcd a remedy
quite in keeping with the character of the
mam—two treaty’s,—-—one to suit Baez or the
Dominicans, and the other 'in accordance
with the instructions of - our government.
What the differences were, whether our ne--
.gotiators wanted, something Baez was 'not
willing to concede, or nice coca; does not ap-
‘pear. But matters were finally reconciled
and the negotiations went on to a conclu-
sion; and in this reconciliation it seems to
have been agreed upon by all that I was
“ to be kept within safe limits-until the case
should be placed beyond the reach of such
attacks.” (Sec letters of Cazueua to Babcock,
page 145.) ‘ .
ut l0 recapitulate and conclude. There
is the evidence that I had once opposed
annexation, or manifested the least disposi-
tion to embarrass our government in any
way in the negotiations? Baez and his
ministers have never given an other reason
to justify his cruelties tome t an an appre-
hension he~ pretended to feel that if I was
liberated when I should have the opportu-
nity I would publish something that would
damage the annexation project,—-and his
notorious counselor, Cazneua, viterates the
same thing in his letters to General Babcock,
—while Babcock and Fabens, Cazneau’s
partner, testify that they knew Iwas always
in favor of it. And they further testif that
my character was above reproach. but
then was it that induced Generals Babcock,
Ingall and Sackett to neglect me for the
ratification they saw it afi‘orded this despot,
- they could not have failed to see evidences
enough of that while they were there,) and
indulge him in his Insatiate love of re-
venge and vengeance for an expose I made
of his cruel and dishonest administration in
,1866, and in annulling the grants I had ob-
ish government, because I would not give
him a bean! for their confirmation ? No
one who has time and patience to go through
the voluminous report will be at a loss to
understand why; but it is because it will
come Within the reach of but few, and not
many of those be able to examine it care-
fully, that I have felt the necessity of smud-
ing this communication to such a length.
I 0pc all who read the majority report will
also read the minority report. The majori-
ty report, nOtWithstandiug all the evidence
to the contrary asserts that I wasjustly held
a prisoner by Baez because of my known
opposrtion to the treat . Bear in mind, I
was arrested on the 29t of August, and the
treaty was concluded on the 29th of Novem- '
her; but I knew nothing of it‘until the 15th
of February, when the order was:given to
take the vote on the question of annexation.
Seeing that the vote was not free but con-
strained, and that the opposition party
wopld not consent to annexation without
their having a voice in the matter, I wrote
Senator Ferrya letter, dated 3d of March,
givmg a history of the two political parties
and of their views and feelings towards the
United States government and people' pre-
vrous to that time, which letter I shall ask
for to have published, as I have no copy of
it. I feel this to be necessary in order to
disprove the negative assertions of the ma-
jority report, and that Mr. Ferry misunder-
stood me in the excitement of the moment,
“5 aPpeurs-by his stating that I told him I
should Oppose annexation to revenge myself
upon Baez for his persecution. My interests
inclined me in favor of annexation, and it
was a matter of perfect indifl‘erence to me
by whom it was done if-it restored order and
tranquillity to the country. But whether I
was for or against annexation is entirely
foreign to the question involved elm—the
rights of a citizen of the United States tem-
porarily residing in a foreign country, to the
protection of his government. ‘
“ Those whom the gods wish, to destroy
they first make mad," was never more com-
pletely exemplified than in Baez’s conduct
towards me. It. was conceived in wicked-
ness but has been so stupid] and clumsily
managed throughout that his evil designs
are exposed at every step in the investiga-
tion, and the evidence of those who tried
hard to shield him has been‘ the most dam-
aging to him.‘ ' '
To the three Senators' who labored so
hard and so effectually to get at the truth,
and vindicate the character of an absent
fellow-countryman, I owe a deep and lastin
debt of gratitude; and to Senator Ferry
feel that I am in a great measure indebted-
for my liberty and perhaps my life. My
physical sufferings were as nothing com-
pared to the mental knowing that officers of
our government w, 086 duty it was to aid
and‘protectme, were conniving at, if not
actually cncouragin Baez in keeping me
in confinement. hile under this dark
cloud, with the Executive branch of our
government apparently against me, and I
was where I could not defend in self, to re-
turn home and-find that my fel ow towns-
men refused to believe any of the reports
against me, is peculiarly gratifying.I

Machinery for Making Ice.
The Vacuum Pump constructed by the
Norwalk Iron Works for making ice' with
the machine invented by Wm. D. L. Holden
of New Orleans, has, after several trials,
proved itself equal to the work. As the
process may be interesting to our readers,
and may serve to show that the artificial
equals, if not surpasses the natural ice, we
give a description of the same. The ma-
chine is operated on the chemical principle
heat liquids passing into vapor absorb heat,-
Necessity first to find a liquid which shall
itself give of Its vapor at a low temperature.
This material has been found and can be
abundantly obtained, being a liquid formed
by 'fixing the lightest vapor which is thrown
off from petroleum in refining, either by
pressure or with a freezing mixture, around
the condensing coil. This liquid boils or
gives off its vapor at 48 ° Fahrenheit, under
the ordinary atmospheric .pressure, and re-
moving the gas it boils at a still lower tem-
perature, proportioned to the amount of at-
mospheric pressure removed. The liquid is
placed in rectangular vessels, perfectly air
tight, and strong enough to stand a,vacuum
without collapse. To thése vessels a pump
is attached, the vapor drawn off as fast as it
comes from the liquid, and this action of
passing from liquid to, vapor absorbs the
heat of a non-congealable bath in which
a vessels are placed. Into this non-con-
gealable bath there are placed molds con-
taining fresh water, the heat of which is ab-
sorbed by the bath, and which after freezing.
are removed and the ice therein thawed out;
by immersion in water of ordinary temper-
ature. These mgulds form ice two inches
thick, which by simple superposition adhere
to each other, making blocks of ice of any
desired thickness or weight. As the liquid
used possesses the property of absorbing
heat at such low temperatures ithas been
called “chymogene” or the “breeder of win-
ter” and being contained necessarily in ves-
sels perfectly air-tight, it is impossible that
any impurities should affect the water to
be frozen. As this water is the same which
.persons are accustomed ordinarily to use
for drinking purposes, it is even better than
the natural ice, which is taken from ponds
in Northern, and, in melting, mixed with
water of southern latitudes. The pump
‘we allude to_ is_ for manufacturing ice in
Charleston, S. C., and the party for whom
it was specially constructed hopes ere long
to be furnishing a pure and cheap ice to the
population of that city. En peasant we
may say that it is claimed that in New Or-~
leans this commodity is cheaper this year,
by 40 per cent. than in New York city,
which owing to the difference ofiso-thermal
lines seems rather remarkable, but is easily
aceouhted for by the statement that the ice
sold there is the product of machinery. In
addition to the vacuum work the pump also
compresses the gas and'causes it to liquify,
so that of the “chymogene” used none is
wasted or destroyed.

while passing over One of the new streets
recently laid out at South Norwalk on ,jhe
flat below Washington street, and between'
the Wilson road and the harbor, suddenly
plunged intoa small creek which set up
across the road. In going down, the horse
struck on a stake which pierced his breast
ten or twelve inches, inflicting a very se-
rious wound, which will_ probably render
‘the horse useless, evenshould it not prove
fatal. ' '
The carriage was also much damaged.
The young men were not injured. Mr.
