REVENUE BIFOBMEBI.
Quite apolitical sensation has been crea-
tedover the various divergent opinions of
, prominent Republicans, as to the policy nnd
' Impolicy of tariffs and free trade.» » .There is
no disguising the fact that many infiuential
Republicans are and ever have been, out-
spoken advocates for fi-ee trade, while their
'- anti-slavery convictions have forced them
to an alliance with the Republicans who
are Neill! Protectionists rather than with
“ ‘ _. the democracy, which was both pro-slavery
and all .lree trade. The Chicago War
has just- came out and announces its deter-
minatlon to act herenfter throuxluhat party
which shall soonest land as into the Eden
of free trade. In other words, the Demo-
cratic party. being the the trade party of the
country, it proposes to cast its lot hereafter
with the democracy. It is also claimed, that
Gen. Carl Schurz, one of the ablest, as he is
one of' the most upright of adopted States-
. men, together with Grstz Brown, just elect»
, ed Governor _of Missouri, a‘re free traders.
- and their schism had this inspiration and
_ nothing more. We do not so understand
these gentlemen. A more upright man and
clearer headed Statesman than Gratz ,Brown'
1 does'not live. 'He may be a free trader in
- sentiment and so may be Senator Schurz,
_ but their defection and triumph in Missouri
- had other stimulating causes than questions
‘ ofiReveuue ,Reform.‘ If we comprehend
their action sright, they believed the active
control of their party machinery to he in the
hands ofsel'fish and unprincipled men; and
they made the alliance they did to overthrow
men who seemed to them to be the most
dangerous enemies the Republican party
' had to encounter. ,
. . So too, the retirement of Secretary Cox
, from the Cabinet, seems to us to have been
‘ magnified into for too important conse-
quence, especially by the people and press,
of our own State. If there are abuses and
wrongs in our political organization, we be-
lieve in a'r'uthless pruning of them out, yet
we as firmly believe that both patriotism
and duty dictate that we work all necdful
reforms inside the Republican Party, and
not from outside assaults, especially by go-
ing over to the most corrupt and profiigate
party which ever cursed the nation.
THANKSGIVING.
“ The day we celebrate " was observed in
about the ster type fashion hereabbuts.
‘Our church-go' people were treated to
tdin‘courses. suitable to the occasion, and the
“ stay-abhor” ” friends and families passed
’ the day-in social chit-chat and domestic en-_
joyments. A greater number of absent ones
returned home to pass the day this year, as
usual. The express train, left New York
Wednesday afternoon with four locomotivtl
' and twenty-four cars, the Company finding
it dificult to supply cars enough for the
press of passengers. Our little Danbury
' went with'a tremendous train densely pack-
ed, and all over the land the day seems to
have received a recognition far more gene-
ral and hearty than ever before.
‘ At. the First Congregational Church Rev.
Mr. Dunham embraced the, occasion to
‘ preach a discourse commemorative of the
-fifth‘;scmi-centennisl of the landing of the
Pilgrim'Fathers on the shores of Massachu-
‘ setts. He traced the origin of the sect. and
their history in Europe and final landing on
these shores, paying a glowing tribute to the
' rugged worth, love of liberty, and stem
_ piety of these fathers of the western Repub-
_ lie. The institution of this as their first
festival day, in commemoration of an abun-
; dant harvest, enjoyed the first year of their
settlement, made the day and the occasion
peculiarly appropriate for the discourse, and
their distinctive recognition. It is an inter-
esting bit of history, that in consequence of
the unexpectedly abundant harvest those
noble men instituted Thanksgiving day can
harvest festival, and "sent out a bevy of red
man to capture doc: and wild fowl for the
,1 ~8t. The Indians returned with game
Birds and venison enough for a seven days‘
- feast, at... some ninety red skins sat down
to the first Thanksgiving dinncr with Miles
Standish and the other colonists. It is a
joyous festival, and happy should, we be
that it has become a national institution.

This (Monday) evening we have a lecture
on Turkey and the East,*by Mr. A. 0. Van
Lennep, at the Second Congregational
Church,while Miss Potter gives us anhour
with the“ poets at Lockwood‘s Hall. We
can confidently assure all a rich, intellectual
treat,‘who may do themselves the favor of
attending. Her flexibility of voice and du-'
plication of tones are certainly most extra-
ordinary. As she is a “ bright particular
Star " of the temperance organization, the
members and friends of our temperance as-
sociations should make it a special point to
be present. Those afraid of a good, thor-
ough and wholesome laugh, should make it
a point to stay away.
Prof. Lyman, assisted by Mrs. Lyman,
Miss Marie Saunders and Miss Julia Grifiin,
is to appear at Loekwood’s Hall, Mag
evening the 2931. Prof. Lyman is wel)
known throughout the country as one of our
very best elocutionists and popular readers.
We are desired to state that ‘another night
would have been selected, had it been possi-
ble, on account ofthe multiplicity of lectures
this week. Prof. Lyman personatcs eight
distinct characters and voices with faultless
fidelity. His programme is especially attrac-
tive. A more select and genteel entertain-
ment could scarcely be planned, and we
trust our people will evince their apprecia-
tion by a large attendance. A cotemporary
journal says: “ He holds his audiences’
thoughtsdcomplctely under his control. he
his-theme pathetic, tragic or comic; and the
expressions of his countenanceywhich he
changes at will, fi'om angelic to. fiendish,
excite the wonder of all. Mirth, awe, or
tears are all summoned at his bidding.” He
recites all his pieces without reading. Mrs.
Lyman has already made a host of warm
friends among the ladies, and her new and
enthusiastic deciples will no doubt be out
in force. She is certainly a spendid speci~
men of a “healthy mind in a healthy body,"
and ifher developments be the result of f‘oI-'
lowing her own teachings, we hope she will
continue in the good work we are so confi-
dently and reliably assured, she has chosen.
Mrs. Lyman continues her lectures at the
Baptist Tabernacle, for ladies only, during-
'the present week. Many who have heard
her up town-propose to fol10w her there. '
Wednesday evening Kate Field. gives us
the “Adirondacks,” at Lockwood’s Hall, be-
fore the Young Mens Christian Association.
Miss Field needs no commendation from us,
for her name is knownand her rare talents
appreciated by all people of culture unbre-
finemcnt.- Of course she will “draw” a full
house. . >
Friday evening Prof. Gunning, continues
his course at the M. E. Church. He is to
give us some account of the difference bet-
ween man and monkey, or define where the
monkey leaves off and the man begins.
These lectures have been the most intrinsi-
cally valuable given us this season.

King, the Poughkeepsie mrouant is con-

to make a call when least expected. On
Thanksgiving afternoon he made an ascent
fi'om Ellenville, west of the Hudson, taking
with him our friend Deming the bookseller
in Middletown, N. Y., (formerly of Dan-
bury.) and in about an hour and a half de-
scended safely in West Norwalk. This is
said to be the 152d ascension the Prof. has
made.

means of getting to the city, and the 'mer-

WThe Danbury depot is undergoing a
thorough interior alteration and improve-
ment. The lobby is to be diminished in
- size,'and the ladies’ room correspondingly
enlarged and run fiom front to rear 'of the
building. The gentlemen’aroom is retained
substantially the same as heretofore, but
“Uncle John” spreads his ticket office do-
main forward several feet, thus giving him
moreroom for business, with a front end
residue for a closet. The whole change is a
most common-sense alteration. _

been ofi‘ on a spree, and taken shelter for the '
among the instiluttons’of the town which
have kept p‘ace with our rapidly growing
needs. We think no other corporation has
been conducted with a more evident and
conspicuous purpose to satisfy all the fair
demands made upon it by the public. We
have had good gas, with rare exceptions,
and at reasonable prices. Few towns
if any, are or have been as favored as we in
growl and scold about gas bills and poor
lights, but we do not know of a town or city
where there is not more of it than here,-and,
indeed, where there is not more cause for
complaint than here. Since the works have
been under the personal superintendence of
Mr. Hanford, there has really been no dillio
culty or complaint .of more than a few hours
duration. The constant increase in consump-
tion, has of course necessitated alterations
and enlargements to meet these demands.—
These changes have been wrought at a vast
expense, and thousands of dollars might
have been saved the stockholders had a prop-
er foresight been exercised. We trust our.
Water Commissioners will profit by the les-
son, and when they do furnish us with a sup-
ply, put in pipes large enough to reader that
supply adequate and efi'ectual for the future
as well as the present. A new main is now
being laid which is to extend to Frank Nash
do .Bros’. store, with a branch extending
Bridgeward, so that when necessity requires,
we may have an additional main for the
Bridge section. Their works have been in-
creased by the introduction of nine- (9) new
retorts, which will more than double its
present capacity of 80,000 cubic feet per
lay. Complaints are sometimes heard that
the price per foot is higher than in the larg-
er cities, but when it is remembered that the
company’s pipes extend from the Norwalk
Mills at Upper Winnipauk, to Keyser Island,
the rates charged are certainly less propor-
tionately than in the cities. There is one.
defect which seems inseparable fi-om all gas-
making, and that is,when the gas is thinnest
and least illuminaitng, the meters will regis-
ter a much greater consumption than when
it is rich and abundant in illuminating prop-
erties. So that poor and diminished light is
sure to involve increased bills, and to this
eccentricity is due, we opine, the major por-
tion of all grumbling. We believe our com-
pany means to steer as clear of these defects
as possible. Our community is certainly to
be congratulated that its gas company isin
the hands of its most liberal and upright
citizens, whose desires for honest dealing
are far above their love of large dividends.
WCommodore White’s new steamer is
to be launched to-day, (Monday) and a se-

Capital prevented our acdeptance of Captain
Perkins’ very kind invitation. to be present.
We observe she is christened “Americas,"
which has a strong squint toward the Stum-
ford route, making stops. at Indian Point 0).
Well, those Ameri-cusses are good, fat fel-
lows to cater to, and we hope they will re-
compense the tribute by a substantial sup-
port of the new and beautiful ‘boat. The
Nelly White is a favorite with our people,
and her transfer from this route would be
received with a feeling akin to the departure
of an old friend. With a new boiler and a
little fiiring up, we know of no craft to sur-
pass her.

No. -- advised by you as having been stol-

A very sensible girl in Boston has proposed
some very impertment guestions to her sex,
pertinent to the present me and its fashions,
which if her sisters will answer in the light
ofcommon sense, will introduce some most
wholesome retbrms. These were her
queries; “ Could on love a man who wore
false hair on his cad, when he had enough
of his own ? Who painted his face and im-
proved his form? Who pinched his feet
loves, his waist with corsets? and then as if

The repm't of the death 'of Baez, publish-
ed in the New York papers on the SSdultI-
mo, seems to have been made up at Port-
au-Princo by the Haytiens,whence it emine-
ted. Although it came via St. Thomas,
nothing was known of it there by the Domi~
nican exiles until they heard of it from here.
I think it was founded in rumor, being
aware of the critical position he was in, and
not got up for deception and effect. It is
only fi'orn St. Thomas we can get any relin-
ble information of ‘what is passing in St. Do-
mingo, by passengers who go up there to
trade. All letters leaving the country must
pass through the Post Ofilce, where a broth-
er-in-law ofBaez is Postmaster, and every
suspicious letter opened. Imprisonment or
banishment wouldbe the minimum punish-
ment to anyone sending abroad information
ofthe actual condition 'of Baez and his gov-
ernment. In September letters from there
were published in New York papers, stat-
ing among other things in the interest of
Baez, that Hungria, Minister of War, had
resigned on account of ill-health, while the
truth is, he and Baez had a serious quarrel,
on which occasion pistols were drawn, and
would perhaps have been used but for the
timely entrancc and interposition of other
ministers. A few days after this, Hungria,
to avoid incarceration took refuge in the
British Consulate. I now learn by letters
from St. Thomas that Baez, fearing Hung-
ria's influence against his government while
in the country more than if he was out of it,’
sent'him his passport and ordered him to
leave the country; to which Hungria re-
plied that he, would not depart until he had
been revenged. And it seems the British
Consul justifies him in this and protects him.
Baez having on two occasions taken refuge
Inth'e French Consulate; and thinking, no
doubt, he may soon be glad of the privilege
of doing so again, .dare not do otherwise
than respect the Consulates as secure asy-
lums. - .
Published letters from the city of St. Do-
mingo likewise endeavor to convey the im-
pression that the opposition to Baez is insig-
nificant, and the idea of reinstating Cabral,
orsomc one of the opposite party abandon-
ed. ' I know from good authority that the
opposition is increasing in numbers and
means, and that they are more determined
than ever not to acquiesce in the transfer of.
their country to the United States without
their consent.‘ If our government had re-
quired of Baez to grant a general amnesty
to all political opponents when they estab-
lished what is called a protectorate against
foreign inmforence, but which is viewed by
the Cabral party as taking sides with Baez
against them, the revolutionary movement,
I think, would have died out, or never at-
tained the proportions it has now reached;
for the gigantic fi'auds connected with it
were not then generally knOWn. Taking
sides with Baez has added fuel to thefire al-
ready kindled; and threatening the natives
if they interfered, has induced them to take
a more active part in favor of Cabral than
they would otherwise have done. There is
a treaty existing between the two govern-
ments, prohibiting the alienation of any
portion of the Island, and they have thus an
unquestionable right to interfere. We can
judge of the cfi'ect of this interposition in the
domestic affairs of that country, by our own
feelings toward the British government and
.people, for even their indirect assistance and
well disguised partialify and sympathy for
the South during the rebellion; for human
nature is much the same everywhere.
We can see by what is ‘passing now in
Cuba, what a handful of poorly equipped
but determined men can do when engaged
in a just cause, on their .native soil where
they can sleep in the open air without any
ill effects, and subsist on the natural resour-
ces of the country; against a large, well
disciplined and well equipped army, in a
country to which they are strangers and un-
ncclimated. And a small force would have
still greater advantages over a large one in
St. Dem'mgo that in Chba, com the fact that
there are no roads whatever through the
country, and is so much more sparsely
populated. The Dominican’s, unlike the
Haytien’s, are naturally docile, and hospita-
ble to a fault; but will, nevertheless, fight
like tigers 'when their animosity is one
aroused. Fifty thousand men could not hold
the country against their will. If, therefore,
the country is desirable to us, and I think it
would be a very valuable acquisition, let us
annex it in such a manner that we may be
sure to hold it, and in peace.
P.S. Since writing the foregoing l have
received letters thorn St. Thomas to 14th
inst. A rather severe battle for St. Domin-
go, had occurred at Yubano, on the road
from San Juan to Azua,in which Cabral was
victorious. The commanding General of
Baez’s army, Juan Nunez, was captured.
This is the only army Baez has had for some
months past, and contained all that he was
able to get together, of men and material, to
oppose Cabral’s march upon Azua. The
road is now clear to Azua. and the Capital,
and they, write in confident assurance that
Cabral will be at the gates of the city before
the month is out. Thellaytien’s were rend-
ering active assistance to Cabral, both In
men! and materials, as was quite natural af-
ter the interdiction imposed upon them, and
considering the treaty between the two Re-
publics. A little cunning and shrewd dio
plomacy is generally more effective, even
with the strong against the week, than
threats or bombast, A civilian sent to Port-
au-Prince in a mail steamer, would have
been regarded in a friendly light, while the
visit of AdmiralPoor in the “Severn,” could
only be viewed as a threat if they attempted
to hold the Dominican government to the
treaty of annexation. That treaty I know
was imposed upon Dominica by Hayti, and

CANTON, Mrss., Nov. 17, 1870.
Dunn Gaznm :-— '
After rolling and tossing past Cape Hat-
teras, shivering in overcoats; after quietly
fioating around Cape Florida, roasted in un-
dress costume; aftcr suffering from heat at
noonday and being tormented by innumera-
ble and invincible mosquitoes at night in
New Orleans, we awake this a. m., from a
comfortable night’s rest in a luxurious sleep-
ing car, to find ourselves two hours behind
time and obliged to spend twelve hours in
this place. Canton is the county town of
something, I don’t know what. It has two
newspapers, (I won’t say that it supports
them.) Iwent to the ofiice of one and after
diligent search in a room about 30x00 feet,
I discovered one man, one hand-press, and
one font of type. I was so discouraged by
'these evidences of enterprise, that I refrain-
ed fi'om visiting the ofiice of the other paper,
but proceeded to the Post Ofilcc, procured
a copy of each paper and mailed them to
you. The principal business of the place is
buying cotton for shipment to New Orleans.
The crop this year is excellent. I walked
out into the country and finding a man en-
gaged in picking, I opened a conversation
with him. He informed me that he should
clear about fifty dollars per acre on his crop.
He repeated the universal complaint of the
impossibility of procuring reliable labor, and
item all I can learn, there are thousands of
acres of cotton and sugar that will remain
unharvested, from this cause alone. The
price for picking is one cent per pound, and
an average good man will picl250 pounds
per day. But even at these prices, it is al-
most impossible to obtain help. Very few
of the planters here have money and hence
and gather the crop on shares. If at the
time of picking, the crop is short, the hands
having drawn up their share by advances
of clothes, provisions, etc.,quietly run off to
the cities, or disregarding their contracts go
to work for others at day's wages. And an-
der the present laws there is no remedy for
this state of things. There is no question

dent for the future. I don't take the words
otanybob hr this, hut-tbrm myopinign
time for an indiscriminhte, unintelligent ex-
ercise of the elective franchise has gone by.
I can understand how a- necessity for this
might have existed at the close of the war.
Of course it is practically impossible to do
prive those who have once voted of the
that no man, white or black, shall be made
a voter in future unless he can read. This
and a stringent vagrant law will in time
remedy matters here, which at present are
decidedly mixed. On returning to town, I
visited a cotton ginning and pressing estab-
lishment, and was not at all surprised to
find a fifty horse power engine and 'a steam
pump, both built by the Norwalk Iron
.Works, and giving most excellent satisfac-
tion. I say I was [not at all surprised, for
under the energetic management of T. B.
Bodley, the Agent of theCompany at New
Orleans, the Norwalk engine has become'
as well known throughout the South-west-
ern States as in Norwalk, and it has already
distanced all competitors and established it-
self here as a standard of excellence for 'oth-
ers to imitate. The weather is delightful
here, warm and pleasant in the day time,
with a slight frost at night, and I am told
that ten per cent. has been added to the
amount of the crops on this account during
the past three weeks, besides giving an ex-
cellent opportunity for picking. But after
all,- notwithstanding the sunny skies, the
fertile fields and all the other concomitants
which have elicited such glowing eulogiums
of the sunny South, I find it a land of great
expectations and small results; a land capa-
ble of being made “ to flow with milk and
honey,” but owing to a want of energetic
and systematic cultivation, not only of the
soil but of the inhabitants, and with a polit-
ical system managed by unprincipled men
on both sides, with utter disregard to the
good of the country and the developments
of its resources, its prospect for the future is
at least, very uncertain. E. J. H.

For some ten months past Gen. Kilpat—
rick, our late minister to Chili, has been
sufi'erin'g from an erectile tumor in his throat,
which at the operation,‘protruded outward-
Iy as large as a hen’s egg. Inwardly it was
much larger, crowding the windpipe a half
inch over to the left, making the effort to
talk and eat very painful. On Tuesday last
the operation was performed. It is thus
described:
Four large darning needles were inserted
in the tumor. Some idea can be formed of
the atubborness of the tumor by the fact
that it required all the strength that a. strong
man possessed to force the needles into it.
The fact that it was near thejuglar vein
increased the difficulty. An unusual pow-
erful electric battery was applied to the
needles, the full force of the battery being
iven. The needles were then removed.
he patient lay quiet and in thirty minutes
exactly, the outward swelling began to go
down, and. soon disappeared altogether.—
For a time the General complained of a
burning in the throat,and neck but these
sensations were soon mingled with surprise
and delight. His windpipe had straighten-
ed and resumed lts natural position, and the
“great lump” which he had complained so
much of for the last ten months past, had
disappeared. In a few da a he was out and
comp etely cure—Boston ournal, Oct. 5.
