The day was unusually stormy, and ordinarily therein alone would have on- sured democratic ascendency. The old'ad- age in this State, for years, has been, “ a stormy election day—a democratic victory.” There has always been somethingin patent democracy, which a cold, dark and dreary day seemed to stimulate, and the wetter the day and all things outside, the dryer became ' the rank and file of that party inside, and the cxcitements of the polls were sure to're- suit in a gratification of the .party- appetite for liquid stimulants. From the city of New ‘ York, throughout the entire land, while. ’there are bad men in all parties and good men in all, the democracy have enjoyed and boasted too, of a great monopoly of the ig- norant and vicious voters of the country. The Concentrated ignorance and. organized villainy of the nation is, and always has, from natural affinity, been acting and allied with our modern democracy. There is no gainsaying or denying this. It was this el- ement of democracy that inaugurated our own terrible rebellion, that gave constant aid, information and encouragement to the traitors, prolonged the war, quadrupled our debt, and forced taxation, such as had nev- er been known, upon our people. It was this same element that starved our poor boys in Libby Prison, at Salisbury and An- dersonville, and committed upon our dead and wounded, barbarities unheard of in civ- ilized warfare. And yet. with all these facts known to every Republican, it is humilia ting to confess that there are those who deem the Republican organization of so lit- tle account, that they seemingly are ready and eager to fall into any trap set for its de- moralization and disintegration. A party which has made a. record in the preservation of free government and the sol- vation of Liberty, such as no political or- ganization in all history can' approach; a party, to have been a member of which, in after; years, is destined to be one of the proudest legacies to those who are to come after us; a party for which every maimed and scarred veteran of tire'war, speaks in- mute, but unanswerable eloquence; a party for which every soldier‘s grave is a pleading monument of its glory and its triumph,— surely deserves better and more sacred con- servation than it has found in this section of our State. Again, when the late unprovoked and wanton war was forced upon Prussia by the perjured falsifier, Napoleon, the American democracy, true to its instinctive character ' of pouring out its sympathies on the wrong side, made haste to espouse the cause of the aggressor. Its orators and presses have teemed with laudations of the Napoleonic dynasty and in disparagement of Prussia The honest but hot-headed Fenians were everywhere encouraged to demonstrations in aid of France. The Germans were car- tooned and derided with a partisan flunkcy- ism, so supercilious as to disgust not only the German, but all the foreign element in that party, not blinded by superstition and igno- rance. The results of the vote in our State last Monday, and particularly in New Ha- ven and Hartford, can. be traced to this 1 source alone. The leaven of sham democ~ " racy has at length worked beyond the con- ' trol of its leaders, and the intelligent think- ing foreigner of whatsoever nationality, be- gins to perceive that there is no bond of af- finity whatever, between our modern de- mocracy, and the oppressed peoples of the old world. Next April will still further prove the correctness and extent of this con- viction, which has just borne its legitimate and honest fruits in our town election. And may the right prevail. @The public will be delighted to learn that the firm of Lockwood & Co., have again anticipated by more than a month, another installment due as per settlement with their creditors. The business success which has been attained by this house since their last year‘s misfortunes is most remark- able, but not more than by the popular ac- claim they are deserving of, for their integ- rity of purpose, and unwearied exertions to make good the losses of their creditors. = The Sunday School Teacher-9 Associa- tion ofSouth Norwalk deserves great credit for their energy and en- terprise, and are entitled to the thanks of the friends of Sunday Schools in Norwalk and vicinity, for the liberality and good sense and spirit of their efforts to promote this blessed cause; and the number and character of those who crowded the Con- gregational Church of our new city, on the occaston of their Third Monthly Meeting, last Tuesday evening, attest the apprecia- tion of this community. May they proceed and prosper! The devotional services were conducted by Rev’d Messrs. Gates, Davies and Dun- ning, and a quartette whose singing, and that of the congregation so well led by them, added greatly to the interest of the meeting. The themes discussed by the two speakers were appropriate and‘ important. Rev. Al- fi'ed Taylor, of New York, editor of the “Sunday School Workman,”—a new and spirited weekly paper, designed especially for Sunday School teachers—attempt- ed the delineation of the “ Intelligent Teacher" as distinct from one who is mere- ly bookish, active,fussy, &c.,——giving many - lively illustrations and sketches. ‘ Wm. H. Sutton, Esq, of Jersey City, who has been Connected with the Howard Mis- sion in New York, held . up for contempla- tion “The Teachers’ Model," and in a dis- criminating analysrs presented some of the characteristics of the “Great Teacher come from God, who spake as man never spake.” No sketch can do justice to these addresses- The attendance of many teachers and friends from suburban and neighboring con- gregations and schools manlfgsted the in- terest felt in the improvement of our Sun- day Schools,—not secondary, certainly, to the objects contemplated by another Asso- sociation which had just before engaged public attention. Children are worth more than any other “ stock.” They are our choicest “plants” and “fruits ” WThe annual re-union of the old Eighth Regiment C. V., one company ofwhich was recruited in Norwalk by the lamented Col. Fowler, was held in Meriden last Wednes- day. More than one hundred members were present. A splendid collation was fur- nished by the citizens. Gen. Harland was present. Addresses were made by Chap- lain J. J. Woolsey and Capt. Goodrich. Capt. J. L. Russell, of South Norwalk, was elected a member of the Executive Commit- tee. It was voted to hold the next reunion in South Norwalk Sept. 18th, 1871.

WWe for one are willing to submit to any outrage that will result in forcing that arrogant corporation, (which assumes to legislate for Connecticut, as well as rob ev- ery citizen who pays fares on its road) to its senses. It professes to be engaged in constructing new track and building iron bridges, and yet the road-bed was never rougher than now, and the little rickety wooden bridge below Cos Cob still creak: under the weight of whirling trains, and tilt guards promised at our own depot crossings are not put up. Yet it charges $1.30 for every fare to and from Norwalk and New York, thus virtually doing all in its power to keep down our population and diminish the value of our real estate. This price or fare was endured when gold was two hund- red and eighty, but do these avaricious man- agers suppose the people will quietly sub- mit to itwhen it is down to 13 i We know it has attempted to fasten at Camden & Am- boy chain about the necks of the people of Ct. by its consolidation scheme; but there is such a thing, (even though legislators may he sometimes bought) as repeal of char- ters, or, better still, of permitting competition to regulate prices. There is not an intelli- gent citizen in Connecticut who does not know thus not more than seventy fies cents to one dollar would be charged to New York, ind the time of express trains reduced to an hour and a quarter at most, thus virtually placing N orwalk where Greenwich is in point ofproxjmity to New York. Will peo— ple look at this corporation for a nroment. It was built on a capital of $3,000,000. A better, quicker and safer road could now be constructed for $5,000,000,-and ye: this cor- have by successive legislation got their cap- ital watered to $9,000,000. It can easily pay fourteen per carton that, and but for steal- ings, could make it twenty per cent, and therefore, at the full nine millions, is worth t hundred and fifty in the market to-day— ind why? because simply, the people of Ct. will not permit a wholesome competition to regulate their extortions. How long can such insanity contiune. We presume our correspondent is in er- roras to our station. It was threatmwd to reduce us to a way train station, but we learn the difliculties have been compro- mised, and the suits for violation of our lo- cal regulations concerning the speed of trains, withdrawn. Tire people have not, however, lost sight of another, cheaper and better and more civilly conducted railroad.

Henry Allen, of the old Seven- teenth, is now located in Rhode Island. He was recently elected to the command of the United Train of Artillery at Providence, 1nd his acceptance was made the occasion of a serenade from the command. The re- port says :—“The full command turned out, accompanied by many of the best citizens, and led by the American Band, marched to the Colonel’s residence. The . company formed a semi-circle on the lawn, with. the band in front and the latter proceeded to give one of’ their finest serenades. Not less than four thousand persons were present listening to the music. Colored fires illumi- nated the beautiful and p cturesquc scene.— At the proper time, Co]. Allen appeared and thanked his command in fitting terms for the honor thus conferred upon him, con- cluding with an invitation for them to enter his residence. The invitation was prompt. ly accepted, and the numerous company was soon distributed in the rooms of the hand- somely‘furnished mansion, where they found several other military men and citizens already resembled.

WGage Inslee, Esq, the popular Archie . The Late Fair. We insdver:ently omitted the mention of several matters deserving of notice, in our last, and also published others in the list of premiums which we are sure must be erro- neous. It was an interesting arrangement if our native Grasses, that our friend Nash )f Westport' exhibited, and not Grapes, Ind the inlaid box exhibited by T. H. Hope consisted of over 4,000 pieces instead of 427. Ioseph C. Randle had a big pile of his rich lairy cheese, in the hall for exhibition only. Had they been entered for premium,noth- ing could have been brought in competition with them, we are sure. The American iotove, which attracted so much wonder and rdnriration, should have been credited to F. El. Nash & Bros, agents for its sale in Nor- walk. Again L. L. Allen, was awarded the first premium on his venerable trotter, whereas the published list puts him below par. Othor errors and omissions have .loubtless occurred, as is inevitable, with all the painstaking of the Secretaries and printers. We doubt if ever there was such work with committees, not Iralf the number tppointcd at the Annual Meeting coming forward to attend to their duties. On Tuesday the attendance at the Fair Grounds was quite large. Premiums were awarded as follows: cuss 22—11mm nousns.

From the Stamford Advocate. MR. Eprron :'-—In looking over the list published in the Gazette of remiums award- ed at the Fairfield Count air, held at Nor- walk last week, I notice that the stallion Commodore Vanderbilt was not aWarded anydof the premiums for which he was en- tere . - , It seems, Mr. Editor, that in order to give Mr. Tweed’s horse a show the teamed judges got up another purse or separate premium, and put in the Commodore unknown to me which they had no right to do, thereby plac- ing the horse in a false position, which was 'an outrage. Although not in condition, he trotted faster than any stallion on the ground I consider this sort of treatment a great piece of injustice to the horse, and am wil- ling to trot him “against the stallion that was awarded the premium in Class 10" for $500 or $1,000. and the Commodore can go to wagon and he to harness, if hechvoses. As for his style and beauty, I prefer to leave it to competent ’udges, not those that served at Norwalk. certainly shall decline tak- ing the discretionary premium, as I never entered for that purse. This is not the first time that Stamford enteries have been im— posed upon. ' Yours, respectfully, James E. ADAMS. 0 IL?" Mr. Adams lras called upon us and further complains, as we tirink justly, that by the rule of the Society as published in the Premium list, he- has been inexcusably wronged. Tire entry conditions are as fol- lows :— cnass 19 STALLIONS. Best Stallion five years old and upward, having stood in the County this season. ‘ $25 2dbest ' 15; 3d 10 Commodore Vanderbilt had stood at the stable of Mr. Adams in Stamford, as per, conditions above, was properly entered in class 19 and in no other, and yet the follow- in g is the published report, of the Horse Com- mittee, although he was given the first pro- mt’um ticket and still retains it :- - DISCRETIONARY. To James Adams, of Stamford, for exhibi~ tion of the fine Stallion, “Commo- dore Vanderbilt,” . :3 His horse was not entered “for exhibition” and it was a piece of unwarranted assump- tion, as he claims, for any committee to‘so report him. He was entitled to one of the class 19 premiums or none at all. No com- - mittce was authorized to place him any- where clse, or to give or withhold a premium otherwise. He avers that he has been the victim of trickery and that it is of a piece with that which was witnessed by all who saw the horse trot attempted on Thursday evening, or the equally bald faced perform- ance of a self selected committee awarding a special premium of $10 to Mr. D. P. Ely, (who was an active member of nearly all the horse committees) upon a team unclas- sified and without competition after a pre- mium of 83 had been awarded one of the span as a single horse. This award though made, as is amrmed, was withheld from publication. [It will be found publish- ed this week. line] If these charges by Mr. Adams and endorsed by other reputable patrons of the Fair, are true, there is'no de- fence to make, and the Society should has- ten to repudiate and rec'tity, wrongs that every body seem to condemn. We have been perfectly inundated with complaints, of similar character, and are sorry to add, that in mast cases the parties seem to have proved their “exceptions well taken." We will instance but one, among many. The colt of Mr. Theodore Price, was pronounced by competentjudges to be the tastest and finest on the ground. Although a remark- able animal his nonaward of the first pre- mium might not have challenged unpleas- ant criticism under ordinary circumstances, but there seemed to have been such glaring irregularities, this year, and all in the same directing, that some honest mistakes have no doubt been unduly magnified. We hope bewever the entire “Horse” part of our Fair may be abolished, unless it can be conduct- ed a little more “on the square." We for one, are tired and disgusted with these bick- erings and complainings which wear the air of justification. Sourn Nonwanx, Oct. 7th, 1870. . Massns. Enrrons Gazer-rs: :---In looking over the list of prizes awarded at the Fair- field County Fair, and reported in your pa- per, we find it imperfect, at least in some things. We took the first prize for the best variety of stoves. This is well, so far as it is an incitement to the putting in a large number. We sent to the Fair five of our choicest specimens for exhibition and com- petition. No other exhibitor put in more than three‘stoves—as a natural consequence we took the prize. We could, however, have put in more than twenty stoves, every one of them difi'erent kinds, and not even then have exhausted our variety ; but what would it have amounted to as far as merit is concerned? The greater part of ordinary stoves, with which the country is filled, are to be seen everywhere. But we did put in an extraordinary stove for competition, and had the services of the agent of its makers, from Albany—under whose supervision sev- enty thousand have been niade in the last six years—to explain its. excellencies to the vast numbers that were constantly crowding around it. We took the first premium over the only stove its makers consider acom- petitor. This we expected to do. We find, , however, no mention of it among the list of prizes in your columns. Thereare a few cur- sory remarks in_the editorial, merely men- tioning the fact that stoves were on exhibi- tion, and that one excelled the others. The premium in dollars and cents is of very little amount, the necessary expenses usually ex- ceedingit. It is true, the objectexhibited is who would see it under no other circum- stances; but the primary object of the ex- hibitor is to have his improvements brought before a competent committee, that their merits maybe adjudged and awarded,— not merely passed on in committee,—but brought before an extended pubic, through brought before a great number of people ‘ the pbblic Ibumals, In their published re- .W ,n- m». ' '- ’ if} port's-of merits and premiums‘. In this way benefit may accrue to the invento'r' or exhib- itor. Now, knowing that our stove had to- ken the first premium we purchased anur'n- ber of copies of the Norwalk Guam, to send to parties interested in the success of the‘ stove, when, to our surprise, nothing was said about it. We do not know where the fault lay; but there was fault to our detriment. You say the Fair was, better than ever before, not so much In numbers as in excellency and variety. This is true; but will it continue to be so, ifa proper re- gard is not paid to the interests or exhibitors, by those whose duty it is to look after the interest of the. Institution, and who do it never so well as when they show a warm re- gard to those who make up its chief attrac. dons? Will you* be kind enough to insert the above in your paper, and answer our inqui- ry as to why was not our Improved Ameri- can Ooalcing Store with patent Enameled Ra- mot’r, (made by Perry & Co. of Albany,) reported among the list of prizes? ‘ _ Yours truly, F. H. NASH& Bnos. * ,We supposed it was lgcnerally known that we did not run ' the Fair; that we had nothing whatever to do with the award of premiums, and that we publish the list ev- ery year as furnished to us by the ofiicers of the Society, for the information of the peo- ple, and that, too, without any remuneration whatever. We are desired, by the Secretary, to make a correction in Class III, Vegetables, the committee having altered their first report: It should have read, Third premium for best and greatest variety, Thomas Clune. garden- er to E. C. Bissell, Winnipauk. Fourth do. J. L. Phipps, Westport. ‘ Lecture Course. 'We would call attention to the, course of Lectures adopted for the coming season by the Young Mens’ Christian Association.— They are mainly new names to :1 Norwalk audience, but not unknown to fame else- where. If the committee have erred at all, it is in the too low price of their tickets. We know their desire is to place the prices so low that all may avail themselves of sea- son tickets, yet the same talent and number of lectures in other towns would not be placed at a less figure than two or two and a half dollars. We trust a general purchase will be made, else, we do not see why the Association is not likely to be swamped by its expenses.

But they would not be quiet, and he found it necessary to arrest them, when they showed fight. The plucky ofilcer, however, was too many for them, and laid them sprawling.

Since the above mentioned date Yale has anuual'y sent a-powerful crew to Worcester or Springfield, and has inva- riably returned defeated. 'Why these re- peated defeats? They can in part be attrib- uted to the fact that Yale has been obliged to row on strange waters, and, for many rea- sons, has not received sufficient encourage- ment from herown members. For the rest we must'blamc the unprogressive spirit dis- played by a majority'of the College Faculty. Though at Harvard the nine, or crew, are ' allowed to “make up" or pass a separate ex- amination on the lessons they may have lost while engaged in training, it is far otherwise at Yale. The Faculty have-decided that no lessons lost by a student while engaged in. ball playing. or rowing, can be made up; also that the students shall not be allowed to obtain money for such purposes by giv- ing tl’eatrical representations. as is the cus- tom at Harvard. With our boat-house sit- uated at a distance of two miles from the Colleges, and our ball-grounds as tar in an opposite direction, and hampered by the ef- forts of a misguided Faculty, our want of- success can be a matter of surprise to no one. But our success during; the present term, and one or two slight concessions granted by the Faculty,have led us to hope for better success with the bat, at least. The Faculty have graciously granted the mem- bers of the nine the privilegeof making up three recrtations this term, in order to enable the nine to meet engagements with other nines; also, a ball may be passed, not batted, within the College' grounds, at stated dis- tances from the buildings. Clarence Dem- ing, who received a severe injury while playing at Waterbury during the annual va- cation of ’69, has returned and resumed the command of the nine. Many of the inhab' itants of Norwalk will remember Deming, for he has thrice assisted in defeating her once-famous Liberty nine. ‘ Valuable-acqui- sitions to the nine have been made in Barnes, Maxwell and Nevins of ’74, the former of Our success thus far must satisfy the 'most sanguine.
