EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, March 11, 1871.
All interest in the, new session of the 42d
COllgl‘CSS culminated in the intense excite-
ment of last night, over Mr. Sumner’s re.
moval from his ten years' service as Chair-
man of the Foreign Relation -Committee.
The special Committee to arrange and report
the standing Committee of the Senate, were
deemed to have been very impartially and
fairly selectéd, and the result of their labors
were satisfactory in. all respects save the
implied degrading of Mr. Sumner, fl‘hc
' Committee consiSch of Senators Morrill, of
Vermont, Sherman, Howe, Nye and Poole,
and the vote for Mr. Sumner’s deposition
stood in Committee—the first two against,
and the last three for, the change. In the
caucus to which the special committee re-
ported their action, a very earnest and deter—
mined protest was made, through two ses-
sions, and the final vote was carried by 1
to 26, the friends of Mr. Sumner insisting
that with a full party caucus a majority
would sustain him and vote a non-acceptance
of the majority’s action. It was unfortu-
nate all around that the struggle was nar-
rowed down to such a small difference both
in Committee and Caucus, as had the differ-
ences been greater much less personal bit-
terness and open hostility to the delight of
the Democracy, would have been exhibited.
‘ There can be no disguising the prevailing
sentiment here, and probably the same will
hold true throughout the country, that the
transaction was ill-advised, and a blundfi‘.
So far as the unity, harmony and strength
of the party is concerned, one of those blun-
ders which may be denominated “ worse
than a crime.” After the Caucus adjourn-
ment and the Committee report was pre-
sented to the Senate, Mr. Wilson made a
.kind but thoroughly earnest appeal for a
day’s delay. He was followed by MrzHowe.
in an equally l‘espectfill objection, urging an
immediate acceptance of the report. Sena-
tor Shurz, then took the floor and in one Of
those masterly efforts for which he is noted,
endeavored to portray the suicidal policy of
the purposcd action. Mr. Wilson again fol-
lowed with unusual warmth, and bid his
Republican Senators beware of repeating
the Douglas and ‘Lecompton performance,
where at the dictation of the White House
the Senator from Illinois was stricken down
and the seeds planted which had borne such
terrible fruits offratercidal war. Senator
Nye followed, defending .the action of the
Committee, and endeavoring to pour oil
upon the excited waters as he only can, by
his inimitable ' drollery, when “brave. Jack
Logan” filed up to the front and Opened the
batteries Of his impassioned eloquence
against the change. This was his maiden
speech inthc Senate, and by the common
.acelaim did credit to his head and heart.
- Senator Tipton, of Nebraska, of clerical an-
tecedents and zeal for the truth and the
whole truth, soon boiled over with indigna-
tion, at what seemed to him prevarication,
in stating the reasons justifying the change.
He went after Senator Howe and began a
free revelation of what had occurred in the
privacy of 'the caucus, and indeed of the
~executive sessions, which, of course, sub-
jected him to rebuke, and calls to “order,”
but the cute dexterity with which be shielded
himself behind the published reports 111 all
the papers, was ludicrous and mirth-pro-’
voking to all who did not stand aghast at
his loss of discretion. And this “exhibition”
made by Senator Tipton, whose reverence
_ for the truth so outran his prudence, only
renders the farce and folly Of all attempted
secret sesSions, either of caucuses or of ex-
ecutive sessions, the more ridiculously con-
spicuous. We doubt if there has been a
single session Of either character, held the
last ten years,that some newspaper wiseacre
did not know all the material facts about it,
. within an hour. We trust the day may soon
come when everything appertaining to na-
tional legislation may be done in the full,
open view of the American people.
The tide of 'debate flowed furiously
through till evening; the Opponents of the
change, unquestionably having the advan-
tagein the argument and the sympathies of
the crowds in the galleries. The closing
sentence of SenatOr Shurz’s last speech, was
worthy the most impassioned bursts of Hen-
ry Clay. Rising with intense emotion, on
tip—toe, his long, attenuated figure, seeming-
ly twice his ordinary height, his voice trem-
lllOllS wit excitement and that exquisite
touch of ~ eutonic accent, he said :—-“Twen-
ty years ago, the Senator flom Massachu-
setts, IVas stricken down by the bludgeon of, C
the slave power, his blood trickling upon
the floor of' the Senate l—Ioday he is more
meanly stricken down, by his own friends I"
The sententious utterance, pierced every
listener like a" Whitworth bolt, and rico-
chetted from floor to gallery, and thence
went quivering over everymile of electric
wire throughout the land. Senator Trum-
bull’s speech was able and eloquent. At a
late hour, the Senate adjourned, its ablest,
and most prudent- Republican Members go-
ing to their homes oppressed with the con-
viction that a bad day’s work had been'done ‘
for the President and the Republican party.
Saddening and painful as the event has
proved, we are not of those who think our
:cause ruined by its occurrence; Ours is a
party of ideas, of principles, and of fr'eedom
and independence of, thought and action.
Above and over all the dispiriting effects
. Of this act of mistaken policy, God and
Right and Justice are omnipotent, and will»
prevail, and nothing short of his own acts,
can rob Mr. Sumner of the renown he hears
of being, with all his failings, the foremost
American Statesman.
Connecticut has obtained an unwanted
share oflnotoriety herethis season. Com-
' mencing with Gov. Jewell’s week of so-
cial visit at the White House, Mr. Hatch’s
identification with the Santo Domingo,”
appropriations of our rivers and harbors
and inevitable Navy Yard, at New London,
and we hafe been more discussed in and out
Of Congress, than almost any other State.
The Patriot, Err—Minister Harvey’s paper,
publishes a letter from Mr. Hatch, vindi-
cating himself from the attack made upon
him by Senator Chandler. Several leading
editorials have also appeared in that journal
devoted to Mr.Hatch’s vindication. It is
‘\
understood that Mr. Sumner will also make
a speciality of his case in his forthcoming
speech. ,
Mr. Ferry having signified his desire to
retire from the Committee on Contingent Ex-
penses, he was placed at the head of the
committee on Patents. Mr. Buckingham is
chairman on engrossed bills, and serves al-
so on commerce and Indian affairs. The
river and habor bills, as passed, contained
.the following appropriations for us: $35,000
for Connecticut river below Hartford, and
$20,000 for same between Hartford and
Springfield, $40,000 having been appropri-
ated for the same purpose last year. Then
New Haven harbor gets $40,000, Bridgeport
harbor $20,000, Housatonic and Thames
rivers each $15,000. The items or $200,000
for New London navy yard and $300,000
for government buildings at Hartford, were
stricken out and lost. But $10,000 appropri;
ated last year, for the preliminary surveys,
&c., for navy yard, wdl be at once expended
under the direction of Secretary Robeson,
who has despatched an engineer to com-
mencc operations there. The order for sur.
veys, soundings, and topographical details
of N orwalk harbor will also be ordered and
the work in readiness for action by _the ap-
propriation committee next winter. It ‘is
not saying too much to affirm that our state
has never had a more industrious and influ-
ential delegation in Congress.
Ruddock, of tlle'New London Star, has at
last come to his reward as true merit always

of the U. P. Rallroad, and will‘henceforth
know where the best chances for investmellt
in public lands are to be found.
New England has proved a recognized
“power ” in the formation Of the new com-

Our Congressmen have all gone home to
see to their re—election, and for the first time
our own Mr. Barnum has become particularly
anxious about the result. If our people
living along the coast line of Fairfield
County, will consult their interests they will
secure the election of Mr. Coiling, who, act-

are being mercilessly murdered by the infa-

in Miss Beecher’s employ at module. The
money was supposed to have been safely
secured in a trunk fasten'ed with a patent

stolen, forty-five cents was recovered, the
balance havingih'een expended in town in

resolution of the caucus, of publican
Senators not to adjourn until] some measure
of protection for Southern loyalists has been
adopted. The Democratic caucus, in de-

betrays the purpose to oppose, as polltical
policy, the adoption of any bill for protection
of Southern men. '

A funny story is told of one Meek, an
Oregon pioneer, a great hunter, and a man
of much influence In that State. One day
in conversation with an English traveler,
the John Bull finally asked “Wh ,sir, you
must have lived here along time. To this
Meek replied; “I have, sir; you ma well
any that." 'Pointing to Mount Ho , said
he to-the Enolisbman; “Do on see that
mountain ? nWell, sir.” he cal to the inter-
rogator, “when I first came to this country
that mountain was a hole in the ground.”

E” Notwithstanding the inclement state
of the weather which prevailed on Sunday
last, a large and enthusiastic meeting of our
Catholic fellow‘citizens assembled in St.
Mary’s Church,_at 4 o’clock P. M., to unite
in the movement so generally made among
the Catholics of this and other countries,
for the expression of sympathy to the R0-
man Pontiff, in his present afilictions, and
of condemnation of the invasion, by which
his rights as temporal sovereign have been
violated. The following resolution, the
same as were acted upon by all the congre-
grations of the diocese on the same day
were proposed to the meeting for action:
W-REAS, The invasion of Home by Victor
Emmanuel was a flagrant breach of the
laws of nations, inasmuch as it was done
in violation of solemn treaties, and with-
out-any pretence of a cam: belli, and
WHEREAS, Besides the, violation of justice
and faith, this act of the government of
Forence was a sacrilege, n ainst the per-
son of the Vicar of Jesus hrist, who has
' been exposed to insult, and held as a pris-
oner in his own palace, as also against the
church, whose patrimony has been plun-
dered and given over to the spoiler ; there-
fore be it .
Resolved, with the two hundred thousand
Catholics of this diocese, we express our
deep and heart-felt s mpathy with our Holy
Father, Pope Plus I , in his present distress
and our reprobation of the unmerited wrongs
which have been inflicted upon him.
Resoloed, That in the present condition of
civil society, we consider the temporal sov-
ereignty of the Pope 1* the surest guar-
antee of his independ e, and of his free
action in the government of the church.
Resolved, That while we insist 'on the ne-
cessity of the freedom of the Holy See from
the control of any and eve civil govern-
ment, we also demand the rig t for ourselves
of approaching the Holy Father, and of com-
municating With him, without lot or hinder-
ance from any other civil ruler whatever.
Resolved, That as men, prompted by the
sense of justice, we .protegt against the seiz-
ure of Rome as a violation Of right; that as
American citizens, bound to uphold the su-
premacy Of law and of the rights of prop-
erty, we protest against the act of robbing
the weak by the strong; that as Catholics,
prompted by devotion to the church, we pro-
test againstithis crime, as a violation Of the
rights of the Catholic world, to which the
Christian monuments -of Rome belong.
0n the motion being put for the adoption
of these resolutions, it was unanimously
carried amidst great enthusiasm. They
were thereupon signed by a' committee of
twelve, in behalf of the congregation, and
the meeting then adjourned.

these eight days 5,202 horses out of the 26,-

day, would have been just enough for another
week. In other words, Paris might have
held out fifteon‘days longer, if it had consen-
ted to subject itself to greater privatlons.

_ TEE STAMFORD ROAD.
T0; at least put that portion of the road
through the first pcet swamp in a safe con-
diton'for travel, by covering the projecting
ends of logs, and by removing the dangerous
rocks on the approaches to the swamps from
both ends.
EAST' AVENUE.
To remove the posts recently placed in
East Avenue, nearly opposite St. John’s Av-
enue, where the narrow and dangerous mud
ridge was placed by the Street Surveyors
last year in this avenue, now Obliging teams
for better wheeling to use that portion of the
avenue then left in lawn. Parties .placing
«these post's, may as well understand their
personal liability as trespassers. ,
m” .That the Horse Railway Co. neglect
accommodation to the traveling public, es-
pecially to those who use the New York &
New Haven Railroad, is subject of frequent
remark. ,
The horse cars will reach the depot at
South Norwalk frequently just in time for
an active man, by running, to catch the train
in motion, while ladies and children. and
those with baggage are left behind. The
mail train from New York, on Saturday
night last reached the South Norwalk station
on time shortly before ten o’clock. The
conductor of the horse_car started his car
immediately upon the arrival of this train
and by the time a passenger from the sev-
enth car of the train had reached the west
end of the depot on the north platform
walking rapidly, the horse car was at the
corner by the Old Well Hotel, and the rail-
way train yet at the station. Some of the
passengers who succeeded in reaching the
horse car did so by running after it while it
was in motion, through the mud and water.
Others who were too far away or unwilling
to do this, found it necessary to procure a
hack conveyance. ' . .
We trust the Horse Railway Co. will see
that the public, their patrons, have more re-
liable accommodations. S. C.
BOROUGH REFORMS.
MESSRS. EDITORS—I presume our Bo-
rough authorities desire that our local affairs
should go on satisfactorily to the public, and
yet they must know that they do not, and
that there is wide-Spread and. an apparent-
ly just dissatisfaction among our tax-payers.
For instance, the most dlsgracetbl, drunken
orgies were permitted on Saturday night,
right under the face and eyes of our police.
The forbearance and amlability of our chief.
are good qualities, but his duty requires-
sternness pnd prompt severity, when the
public peace is outraged as on several occa-
sions recently.
Again, our cross walks are mainly of ser-
vice in muddy weather. Sunday, none.were
visible about the Borough and church going
pedestrians were exceedingly annoyed. The
piece Of tarred-walk in front of Raymond’s
and Fitch’s Block, Main street, was in a
most disgraceful condition. That species of
walk when properly constructed, is the best
known to modern in éntion, but when poor-
ly done, becomes an ,llnbearable nuisance.
There is another improper habit permitted
here which would not be permitted in any
well regulated city or Borough: elsewhere,
the erection of unsightly sign boards across
our side walks. Look for a moment -at the
dangerous deformity just erected in front of
the Danbury depot. This and all similar
ones, should be at once removed. Then,
too, the practice of throwing papers and
store sweepiugs into our streets should be
‘promptly and inexorably stopped by arrests
and fine, if it cannot be abated otherwise.
Our people are not unreasonable in their de-
mands. They pay a heav. Borough -tax,
and while sincerely grateful for what our
authorities have accomplished, do feel that
the crying nuisances thus referred to should
claim their prompt and energetic attention.
A little more of system and order and strong-
er show of authority, would work a most
satisfactory reformation her and need not
‘cost a dollar more expend
