EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE;
DEAR GAZETTE :-—-The close of :1 Congress-
is not only an important political and leg-
islative event, but. in fnany respects :1 sad
(me. Like the ‘Itgcing of a graduating ‘
class of one of our colleges, very many‘wllo.
have been allied ill close friendship, seperate
never to met again. There were an unusual
number of outgoing Senators and Represen-
tatives on Saturday. In the Senate that
grand old commoner Howard, of Michigan,
ended his term in that body as he commenc-
ed it, boldly protesting against burdcning the
treasury by the pay-fluent of indemnity for
rebel losses during the war. He was speak—
ing when Mr. Colfax let the gavel fall, and
announce-:1 the 4151 Congress at an end! So
in the midst of his fervent speech ended the
political career of Jacob Ill. Howard. The
tinge of sadness pervading the Senate Cham-
her. was measurably dissipated by the im-
mediate convocation of the new session of
the ”42:1 Congress and the swearing in of
new Senators. As the rolls of states were
called, Senator Shermdn presented a memo- ‘
rial and protest against the admission of
fill r. G-oldthwalte, of Alabama. True to in-
stinct, and yet not sober enough to know
that he was oflicially dead, Situlisbury, who
, had lettered in the Chamber, rose and “ ob-
jected to the admission of the papers “at
this—(ilic)—st-a1gc of the pro—(hic)—cecd—
(hic)—ings t" The roars of laughter that
filled the floors and galleries turned for a
few moments aall to. irresistablc comedy.
The poor incbriated Senator is ~superccdcd
by a brother, both temperate and religious
in his professions; As soon as the rc-organ-
ization ‘ was accomplished, the Senate
wcaricd out by its all night’s session, ad-
journcdover till Tuesday. '
The House reorganized without friction,
swore in its new members, including four,
Ethiopians, and proceeded to business in
harmonious order. Poor Connecticut," from _
stupidity or indifi’crcnce, still permitsherself
to be unrepresented. With New Hampshire,
California and Texas, we are out of the low-
erHousc of Congress until December. This
should be changed by our coming Legisla-
ture, for is disadvantag‘are manifest.
Our State was unusually prominent in
this closing session, owing to the numerous
item's in the Appropriation Bills. There
was $50,000 for the New London Navy
Yard, $200,000 for a new Court House and
Post-Ofiicc atHartford,both of which failed.
Then came the appropriations for Bridge-
port Harbor and ”Honsatonic River, which
slipped through and are a law. 'The small
appropriation for Wcswort mrbor also
failed, although G—ov. Buckingham ,did, all
in his power to save it,.—as he did for all our
appropriations. The resolution authorizing
a survey our Harbor passed, and the War
Department, if properly importuned, will
no doubt set its engineers at work the com-
ing summer to make surveys and estimates
of its necessity, most feasible modes of exe-
cution and cost. Out-people Should not rest
idle until this is accomplished, as we can
.make a strong showing of our needs, and
this survey is prelimary to any possible ap-
propriation. . ‘ - 4
The passage of the various important
measures, will be made known to our _own
readers ere this reaches you, through the
city journals.
The Southern Pacific or Fremont’s line of
Railroad, finally got throughnfter a strug-
gle of a dozen years or more. There is no
doubt but that it will be built, and then we
shall have three grand trans continental
railroads from ocean to ocean. The Dis-
trict of Columbia has been.thrown into, a
Territory and awakcfio the full dignity of
Utah as to its governmental organization.
The Japanese and the English Commis-
sioners are. just now the lions of 'Wsshing-
ton’s Lenten period. .
The proposition made in the Nova Scotia
legislature proposing a cession to the United
Statgs, as in part— indemnifying the Alabama
claims is received here with much delight.
The Canadas and Provinces must sooner or
later become States in the Union, and God
speed the day of their harmonious annexe-
lion. _ A people homogeneous and identified
in all material interests, cannot but add
strength, power and'glory, to the great re-
public. B. '

Our Congressional Candidate.
. It is with the sincerest pleasure that we
can announce Mr. Cofiing’s acceptance. of
the Congressional nomination. A man of
the highest honor and most generous and '
patriotic impulses, he nevertheless instinct-
ively shrinks from anything like notoriety,
or an apparent jscramblc for office. 'He is
very largely absorbed in extensive business
operations, and his tastes and inclinations
all lead him to prefer only such publicity as
attaches to the vigorous and successful pros-
ecution of his own affairs. But Mr. Coiling
is not a man to shrink from any known duty,
and when it was made plain to him that no
man could so efl‘ectually unite and bring out
the Republican strength of the District, there
was an end to the argument. No man in
Litchfield County could have been brought
forward, whose name would have sent such
a panic of demoralization through thedem-
ocratic ranks as his has already done. He
will run largely ahead of his ticket, ’a'rnd if
Fairficlrl County does half as ‘well as his
own home will do for him, Mr. Barnum will
be left to stay at home, even more than he
has'done hitherto. . .

On Saturday last their workmen broke,
ground on Step Hill for the large Distribu-
ting Reservoir, and struck _water at the
depth of five feet in one place and eight feet
in anothef place. Thathiil has always been
said to be “ full of water,” and it would be a
gratitying surprise, indeed, if there should
be found enough there to supply the village,
which result, however, we do not for a mo-
ment anticipate. Active operations all along
the line will probably soon be commenced;
We do not understand how the work is to
be done, whether any of our numerous con-
tractors will be allowed to bid for any part
of the job, or by day’s work under the direc-
ction of the Board and theirfiuperintendent.

Com. White is busily preparing for a vig-

the popular steamer forming his “ parallel
line” to New York. The vessel has recent-
ly been hauled out on the ways at Red Hgok
and her bottom‘ thoroughly overhauled,
caulked, etc. She is now at the foot of
Adams street Brooklyn, receiving new boil-
ers made for her by Messrs Hubbard &
Whittaker of the Burden Iron Works.-
Joiners, Painters and Upholsters .are also
busily at work, and it is Mr. Whites inten-
lug season, She will be strengthened and
made as scaworthy as anyboat- of her class
onlLong Island Sound. When she makes
her appearance this Spring she will be as
good as new. We believe that our people
appreciate Mr. White’s enterprise, and that
they may be relied upon to extend to this
line ajliberal support. ' '
W The GAZETTE must have been unn-
sually perfect last week, for the hyper-criti-
cal editorof the Sentinel could find only one
typographical error to carp at, and that of
no account. As he grows older he will learn
the forcc‘of the maxim, that “ people who
live in glass houses,” &c.v On the same page,
in his report of the Silver Wedding, he
alludes to “ Mr. , and his finance,
Miss .” We know that occasionally
young men are sordid enough to marry for
money, but we believe the above to be an
unjust imputation upon the sincerity of the
motives of our young friend. I

W The social event of the season, at
South Norwalk, was‘the Silver Wedding of
Mr. and Mrs. ChesterT. Tolles, on Tuesday
evening last. A large company of ladies
and gentlemen assembled at the residen'ce
of the happy couple, on Washington street,
to assist in celebrating the happy occasion,
and the party passed off to the delight of all.
The bride and groom bore their honors and
received the congratulations of their friends
with quiet dignity and ease, and a stranger
would not have believed that they had seen
twenty-five years of wedded bliss. -A large
number of elegant presents were displnyed‘
in an upper room, including many 'of quaint
. and original design. During the evening":
their seven children and one grand-child,
gathered around them, when theirpastor,
Rev. Mr. Dunning, read a poem composed
for the occasion, abounding in happy hits,.
which was received with‘laugbter and up;
plause by the audience, and very good ria—
turedly.by.the “wounded," especially by
bour young friend who was afterward shot
financially? ' . ,
At the cloSe of the poem, Miss Fannie
Byxbee favored the company with a sweet
song, accompanied on the piano by Mr. D.
E. Disbrow. The supper table was lavishly
spread with the delicacies of the season'and
handsomely decorated, and reflected great
credit upon D’Artois, the caterer. There
were several persons present If large capac-
ity, and the way. that boned turkey, pickled
oysters, sandwiches, cake, charlotte russe,
ice cream, ices, _fi'uit and other dainties dis-
appeared was sufficient “preof” of their ex-
cellence, but the supply held out till the
Mayor had served the last “lady” (always
from the same plate,)-and the “press”; cried

duced, and-the party ended with a merry
dance.
We have received the following private
letter from a neighbor 'of Mr. Cofiing,which
we venture to publish z-- ‘
EAST CANAAN,,C1.,' Feb. 21, 1871.
I received a note from Mr. Coiling, Esq.,
last evening, stating that he has concluded
to accept his nomination. He had, tele-_
graphed, to the Congressional Committee
that he should decline, but by the urgent re-
quest of his friends, he has been induced to
consent to an acceptance. .He felt .a great
reluctance to, being put before the 'people,‘
which is characteristic of him, as he has no
taste in that direction. Still, he is a man
that is thoroughly popular among the people
of Litehficld County. a thorough, energetic
business man, one that men of capital have
full confidence in, having heavy interests
with others in six BlastFnrnaces in a radius
of twenty miles, and managing the same,
a man noted for his integrity and ' honesty
of . character, generous to a. fault, ready and
'willing to giv is approbation to any and
every good cause, he' is not demonstrative.
except 'when thoroughly aroused, then he is
apowor, has a natural reluctance to notoriety,
the extreme opposite of his opponent, both
living in the same town, Mr. Coiling has
always been the most popular man (except
in the way of disgracefully obtaining votes
in which he will not stoop) respected even
by his political opponents for his ability and
high tened character. He has a large force
of men in his employ which will ”largely
neutralize the influences which we have had
to work against as it is now under his man-
agement. To, make the matter brief, he is
Worthy of our best efforts, the strongest man
by far of. any other in the District to make
a run against Mr. Barnum, “The man of all

W The Tribune devoted nearly in column
lately in editorial deprecation of the raging
epidemic of slander and abuse exhibited by,
the newspaper press of the country. 'This
practice seems to have run through the press
of late like ascarlet fever, and is simply dis-
graceful to the honorable profession ofjour-
nalism. As an instance, probably no one
was ever more unjustly villified and slan-
dered, from day to day, than was Stewart
L. Woodford while a candidate for Governor
of New York. Everybody knew and felt
that these reports were lies. None knew it
better than the opposition presses as'sailing
him. Nor waFit on his own account that he
was thus villified,’ but because in some sense
he was deemed the representativeof thead-
ministration. Again, when some reporter
telegraphs that Woodford hasbeen tendered
.the New York Custom House by General
Grant,‘o_fi‘ go the batteries of slander again,
.all along the line, although many of the
cafe yelping at his heels, would in their
hearts rejoice to see him in Murphy’s place.
We allude to the Gcner’al’s case as 'one con-
spicuou'sly illustrating this new, and dis-
graceful order of things, and because we
chance to know that he has more than once
resolutely declined to' accept any ofiice from
General Grant. We are alsd tempted to
add a bit of his boyish history, which is but
a sample 'of the man. His invalid father,
who was a New York merchant, having
failed in business, mutual friends arranged
a compromise, which left the ‘mother and
her only son a few hundred dollars at the
father’s death. On attaining his majority,‘
and just prior to'tbe time'when the demo.
cratic press charge him with being engaged
in the slave'trade, Woodford was busily at.
work returning this moneyto his father's
creditors. '

DEAR GAZETTE :—-The Coal question bids
fair to eclipse every other" topic of tongue
or pen. Fifty thousand miners in idleness,
miles upon miles bf coal cars standing
einpty and useless; millions'ujion millions of
tons of coal awaiting the pick and shovel,
and yet scarcely two weeks’ supply in New
~ York or its suburbs,—and not a pound com-
ing from the mines. Every industry is des-
' tined to be paralyzed, and unless Providence
“ tempers the winds” of capriciousMarch;
great suffering among theipohrly sheltered
and poorly. clad must ensue. Ifever emer-
gency called for prompt and decisive action
on the part of our Nationaljand State Legis-
latures, here is one. rn'e' cost of mining
coal does not exceed one, dollar and fifty
cents per ton. Railroads, .can' profitably
transport it to tide-water for one dollar and
twenty-five cents per 'ton. :. From thence,
miles and put: it in the dealer's bins for one
dollar per ton. Allowing him a'commission
of one 1 dollar more, anthracitectial should
be selling, to-day, from yards, at four dollars
and seventy-five cents per ton. At this mo-
ment it is selling in New York at fourteen
dollars per ton, and here in Orange,—where
there is but twenty days’ supply, at most,—
at twelve dollars per ton. It would not be.
strange, if by the 10tll- of March, it reached
twenty dollars per ten, unless immediate re-
lief comes fiom legislation. ' .
- What legislation isnecessary is a serious
question. That our Railroad Companies
should have the power to add nearly six
dollars'to the cost of a single ton, in excess
of its value, by simple extortion in freight
charges, shows how much they need legal
restraint. The PennsylvaniaLegislature is
already grappling with that evil. That the
interests 0f mining corporations and of mi-
ners should be so antagonistic, as to lead .to
sudden and oppressive reductions of wages
on the one part, and retaliatory strikes on
the other, shows how much remains yet to
be done, in this enlightened age, to reconcile
capital and labor. And, further,_that both
the employer and miner should .combine, as
in the present case, _to exact from the pub-
lic enough to'compensate them for their past
self-imposed idleness, and then, go to quar-
reling over a divisionot the spoils in pros-
pect, indicates a relation between producers
and consumers, at once false, immoral and
dangerous. ; Legislation may do something
to cure this evil; ctr-operation may do some-
thing; better men at the head of such pow-
erful corporations, may do something; but
the enlightened moral sense of the people
must be the-basislof ill.reform. : . _ '
Travelers upon the Merrie & Essex R. R..
"who have endured so patiently. theinsolence
and tyranny of its President, have laughed
:in their sleeves not a little, recently, over’a
dolorous appeal for their “co-operation and
support,” printed upon fly sheets which are
scattered through every train, signed “ Re-
spectfully, Samuel Sloane, Pres." Former-
ly, _the edicts of this important personage,
forbidding commutets to stop over a. train,
on their way to and from New York, order-
ing their ejection if they failed to comply,
or running the whole train upon a side track
in case of any courageous assertion of rights,
were signed simply, “ Sam’l Sloane, Pres.”
What has humbled this dignitary to how
much “ respect ?” Why, Fisk and Gould
have clutched him, andthe measure he has
m‘eted to others, is now'beiug'meted to him.
The public don’t care a. copper which side
' swhips in the Bergen Tunnel fight,—-if only
the old adage prove true,—-“When rogues
fall out, honest people get their dues." Un
der such chastening discipline, probably
any reasonable demand fromhis “ friends,”
as Mr. Sloane condescends to style his pat-
rons, would. receive immediate considera-
tion, instead of. being met with the old re-
pulse—“ We can do nothing for you, sir.”
This jarring and'clashing is beginning to
bear fruit. An- organization, called the Dr-
ange and New Jersey Railway Association,
has sprung up, backed by powerml capital-
ists. Already threeéfiflhs of the amount
necessary to build and equip an independ-
ent railroad 'tonNew York, has been sub-
scribed, and a bill to charter the road is now‘
before the New Jersey legislature. This
movement means a. “ parallel ,road”Z-.-thc
great bugbear of Connecticut legislators—
but the-"very foundation of‘New Jersey
growth and prosperity. ~Ofcourse the legis-
lature will grant it. There is a charter al-
ready existing for one or two other roads
between the some points, but what lingo?
New Jersey is not afraid of ’em! Every
~ mileof rail laid down, means a thousand
more settlers, and at least :1 million more in
wealth within the next decade. This State
has leaped, at a bound, fiom five congress-
men to seven in the national councils, and
five of the seven will be republicans; “ De—
mocratic New Jersey," and, the “ State of
" Camden and Amboy,” are things of the past.
Hurrah for “parallel roads !"
' The'project of a labor} railroad, devoted
exclusively to passenger traffic, has revived
the question of a narrow-guagc track. It is
well known that such tracks are very popu-
road in Scoxland where the rails are but
twenty-three and one-half inches apart.
Narrow gauges are proved who as safevand
aswelladapted to speed as are the wide
ones; they require less costly engines, cars,
and; equipments in general, and save much
expense in building and running. The cars
or coaches are much lighter than ordinarily1
used, and consequently require smaller en-
gines, “bfeaking up " if necessary almost
rates oftfavel upon sue roads can be fixed.
at about half ordinary railroad fares,.and
still pay a‘handsomc dividend upon the in-
vestment. The experiment, if tried, will be
watched with~ greatjinterest, as helping to
sclve the question of 5‘ cheapand-rapidrail-
road transit." ‘ i ‘
East Orange steadily resists the pressure
brought to bear here for Sunday horse. cars.
The pulpits have boldly denounced this at.
the residents showrtheir NewEngland train-
;ing by exerting their influence against-the
innovation. Of course, thesaloon keepers -
and their retinue are furious over this op-
position to “the poor man's coach," and talk
indignantly of the rich man’s driving to
to walk, etc; The best answer to this is—
the poor, who desire to attend church on the
Sabbath, can find one within easy-walking
distance, and would not ride if life cars
were running, It is the class- who would
flee aslhr as possible from lhe circle of re-
ligious influence and'restralnt, that clamor
for Sundaytraveling facilities, of whatever;
kind. ' ‘

‘V The experiment or using a MacAdamized
,t'reck on the Horse Railroad,‘instead of the
Belgian ipavement, is now being' tried on a
,htrip of inboufone and one;_half miles, in
East Orange. At each end, in Newark and
in .Oran'gc, the Belgian pave is laid, and it ~
is noticed that the horses start 011‘ on a much '
easier and steadier gait, when theyleavc the
herd, glassy stones, and strike on the earthy
elastic MacAdam. It is much less severe
on. their feet and legs, gives them 9. enter
footing, and: spares the ear of the traveler
from the wearisome clatter of the stones.
The expense of laying the MacAdam is
much less, and the annoyance which was at
first feared, from small fragments .of the
broken stone getting upon the rail, has en-
tirely disappeared as the track has harden-
ed. What the comparative durability and
expense of repairs will be, remains to be
tested, but so far the experiment gives good
satisfaction". , ‘ , .
Much sympathy is manifested in this vi-
cinity for the destitute and suffering French.
One lady, the wife of an ex-Unitcd States
Consul to Paris, has collected several hun-
dred dollars for their relief, and paid it over
to Mr. Lanier, Treasurer of the Committee
appointed by the 'New York Chamber of
Commerce. There has always existed a.
tender chord of sympathy between'the peo-
ple of France and those of this country; ‘
from' the days of .noble Lafayette dOWn
through all our wars, to the present date.
Now, events have happened that strike this
chord, and brings out the music humanity.
It costs but little to keep up friendships, but '
to keep up enmities costs a great deal. Wit-
