PETRITY OF OUR ELECTIONS.

- The recent deplorable exhibition of parti-
zan depravity, unearthed by the investi~
gations into the New Haven election frauds,
should not be lost upon the people of this

. State. A more bald—faced fraud, was never
attempted ‘by Tammany experts in de-
bauched New York. It was shown by
proof. the most incontestable, that at the
time the count of the Fourth Ward ballots
in New Haven was going on, some one sur-
reptitiously introduced one hundred ballozs
for James E. English, and a return was made
of 718 votes for him for Governor, while but
618 were returned for Mr. Ingersoll, an
equally popular Democrat, running for rep-
resentative, and about an average of 618 for
the rest of the Democratic State Ticket.

The Check List also showed, that if there
was no error in thevote returned for Gov-

 

 

 

ernor Jewell and our State officers by the'

Democratic Board, that one hundred more
votes were counted, than were noted. The
Republican Canvass and Check List showed
the vote the Democratic board returned for
us to be accurate. Both a Republican and
Democrat were ready to testify that no man
voted who was not firét checked upon the
Registry List, so that an excess of one hun-
dred votes was clearly proved. Then again.
as the votes were counted out into kindred
packages, they were placed into the box to
be therein sealed up. On this evasive seal,
(which was a sheet of white paper pasted
over the slot in the box lid only, and not at
all afi‘ect‘ng the unlocking and opening of
. the box,) was noted the number of separate
packages of one hundred each, cast for
either candidate. This tally proved the

Jewell vote to be correct, as declared, and ‘

also showed the one' hundred excess for
English, proving that there was something
quite fi'ightful in the state of some Demo-
cratic counter’s sleeve, while engaged in
counting the votes. But the fraud was so
glaring as to attract the attention of all, and
in private conversation among, respectable
democrats, it was freely admitted 'to be a
clear case of “ ballot box stuffing.” ‘Thc
Legislature met and a committee was ap-
pointed to investigate this case, with two
others. Enfield was found to be clearly
an honest blunder. ' Cheshire 9. wilful, open.
though stupid and illegal attempt of an
over-zealous partizan to deprive Governor
Jewell of a few‘votes, honestly cast for him
The N ew Haven matter,however, was found
to be even more villainous than at first
claimed. It was found, upon opening the
box and counting the votes, that two pack-
ages originally containing one hundred each
for Marshall Jewell, had been untied and
fifty votes abstracted from each. The scamp
who did it, however, proved himself a fool
as‘well as a knave, as was most expressivelj.
stated by the Hon. James Gallagher, for Iii
failed to steal a hundred cmespondz'ng cotea
out of the Representative Box, so as to, maki-
that vote tally with or State ticket! So
here was an absolute to Male upon the fraud.
Again, by the original vote, as declared,
John Kendrick‘s defeat was made certain,—
a wish well known to be entertained by lht
New Haven democracy, and especially by
those of Governor English and Mr. Inger-
soll’s own Ward. The Democratic Board
of Canvassers had, moreocvr, issued a certifi-

cate of election, to Hon. S. W. Kellogg, the

Republican candidate for Congress, and by
this stealing out of the hundred Republican
State tickets, Kellogg was defeated and Ken-
drick elected! So that the Fourth Ward
lboggle could not_be referred to in the hear-
ing of any intelligent Democrat without
provoking a grin from ear to car, or a cursr
at its inefi‘able stupidity.

To their credit be it said, many honest
Democrats of a more serious cast of charac-
ter, didnot and do not thil to condemn lbt
villaiuy as heartily as they would had lht
Republican party been caught attempting
such a disgraceful fraud. We have the char
ity to assert, what we think we know tc
be a fact, that Governor English condemns
the wickedness with unmeasured severity.
and well he may, for upon no one does it re-
coil with so terrible consequences, We hope
he could not have been induced by his party
advisers to have profited by the fraud, had
it been less clearly proved, although thv
temptation would have been peculiarly
strong, in view of the aid to his future pro-
motion his rctaiuiug possession of the Gub-
natorial chair in Connecticut would have
given him. His party supporters in tilt
Legislature, however, made but the sorriesl
opposition to the vote declaring -Marshall
Jewell elected by the people. The point
made by all was, not that the hand had nO‘
been clearly proven, but even admitting lhl
fraud, the Legislature Was not competent to
correct it, or elect :1 Governor, in opposition
or over the declaration of the Board at
State Canvassers. Governor Jewell has
employed theablest constitutional lawyers
to he found, resolutely declaring that lu-
would not accept the duties of the Govern»
orship if there was the shadow of a doubt
of his legal election. And this has been the
feeling of his party friends. All felt thal: ht
could better afford to be deprived of his
position by fraud, and the Republicans of

‘ tile State be cheated out of their Governor.
rather than strain a point of either law or
propriety, in correcting it. Happily no one
competent to judge of the law and the evi~
deuce doubts the entire legality and propri-
ety of the Legislature’s action, and Demo-
crats as well as Republicans will join in the
Election Parade at Hartford to-day, with
entire accord. ' . '

But there are very grave reflections grow-
ing out of this afl‘air, which honest men of
all parties should seriously ponder. Whither
are we drifting and whither are we tending,
when our elections become a mockery and
a farce? Our only guaranty of the stability
of this, the proudest achievement of human
government, consists in the purity of our
electiong, and no man is a safe citizen who
will tolerate fraud . of any description to
thwart the will of freemen. In our judg-
ment, nodeuunciation can be too severe for
any acts or tricks calculated to cheat an

honest elector out of his inalienable right.

to vote as and how he pleases. “ The right
of every voter to vote just once at ‘every
election,” is the only safe creed for any
party, and the only safe code for the nation.
No amount of party dragooning and no
condition of partizan enthusiasm ought to
palliate or excuse any man, in the introduc-
-tion of those arts, devices, trickcries and
downright frauds so frequently witnessed in
our modernelections. We earnestly hope
to see a higher appreciation of the sacred»
ness of the ballot, and a deeper and more
general scorn for all those who by cheats
and frauds would thwart'a frecman’s will.
There are true then in both parties, as there
are villains in both, and to honest men we
appeal, without reference to party name or
affiliation, to do the best theycan for their
respectivecandidates and party creeds, but,
as you love the nation’s life, resolutely de-
nounce all and every species of corruption
of the elective franchise. ‘

 

WA feeble attempt at Macadamizing on
a patch of the street in front of the Bank of
Norwalk has been essayed. Although the
rocks are but bits of pottery, the indications
are that even this experiment will prove a
success. We ought to Macadamize the main
Borough streets this Summer in a permanent
and proper manner,‘and it would be money
in the pockets of the tax-payers to have it
done. - .

@Martin Grace broke ground Saturday
upon the extension of Riverside Avenue.
across the Chas. Kellogg farm, and that
charming drive will soon be in order, in a
direct line to the Silver Lake Reservoir ofthe
Norwalk Water Works, near the residence
of Chas. Grape. It is a pity, however, that
this new cut 00‘ could not have run direct

to the mill corners.

Fatal Accident.

’ Frederick M. Platt, son of Alfred M. Plath; ,
Esq, of Silver Mine district, Norwalk,came ‘
up from Portcbcster, Saturday evening, and
remained over night with a sister residing
near the depot. Sunday morning he got a
carriage from Hopkins' stable and drove'to
Silver Mine and spent the day with his two
broihers—in-law, there, Sidney Guthrie and
John LariibéiTIEEits. A little after meridian
he hitched up his horse in the yard and un—
dertook to drive out of the yard, with the
purpose of driving down to his father’s for
dinner. His brother-in—law, Mr. Lambert,.
got into the carriage with him, and in pass-
ing out the drive-way into the road a bean
pole lying in their track struck the carriage
wheel, which caused the horse to start and
shy against a stone abutment, protecting a
small excavated bank..This carecned the
carriage and it slid on two wheels across the
street directly in front of the house occupied
by Messrs. Guthrie and Lambert, on nearing

As Mr. Platt had but one arm he was unable
to rein his horse in time at first or to save
himself in his fall :fl'om'the carriage. He
was pitched out withaud over Mr. Lambert
head foremost, into a pile of stones, one of
which, projecting with a sharp point to-
wards him penetrated his soul] just above
and forward of the right ear, causing his al-
most immcdiatc death, He was taken up in-
sensible and conveyed to the house, where
Drs. Lynes and Barbour were summoned us
soon as possible, but he was beyond surgical
:lid, and he almost immediately expired.
Mr. Lambert very singularly escaped injury.
The horse ran a short distance, but was halt~
ad when opposite the residence bf Mr. Henry
Guthrie. The thills were broken, but other-
wise the carriage was not materially injured.
Young Platt was a member of the 10th
Conn. Vols., and served nearly two years
when he lost his right arm in the battle of
Kingston, North Carolina, and was dis-
charged on account of his honorable wounds.
.1t the close of the war he located at Port-
ehester where he had a sister living, and
such was the esteem in which he was hell i,
that the citizens of that place secured his
ippointment as Post Master, which position
fie acceptably filled at the time of his lament-
1' lo death. He was upmarricd but leaves a .
large circle of friends and relativos to
uourn his untimely end. He will be buried
from the. Silver Mine chapel on Wedfis-
day afternoon. '

, Fire !

The roof of Solmon’s hat manufactory
was discovered to be in flames at about a
quarter to twelve on Saturday. Fortunately
some ladders were immediately at hand,else
one of the most disastrous fires ever known
in Norwalk would have been experienced.
The wind was blowing a gale at the lime
=ind flames in a few moments more would
have swept to Crotut 85 Knapp’s establish--
‘nent, Hant'ord’s. house. Brown’s store, Dr
Pardee’s, the church and indeed about every
wooden structure from Solmon’s to the
steamboat dock must inevitably have been
swept away. ‘ .

It makes one shudder to think of the ter-

rible loss which could not have been less
ban a quarter of a million, and which was
prevented only by the merest chance. There
were two steam pumps and an ample supply
.f rubber hose in the hut factory, but both
*ines of hose instantly burst and became
xseless. The workmen all turned out and
with buckets and a will extinguished the
flames before any serious damage was'donr-
We wonder now, if our neighbors will dig a
reservoir and purchase a hand engine?
Such neglect of procuring a fire apparatus is
llmost criminal.

In printing the ‘yeas and pays on the reso-

Governor by the people, in the Legislature
last week, some of the Hartford papers put

Crow remained over expressly to vote on
the question, and voted “Yes,” —the only
way an honest man could vote.

THE WATER WORKS.

The upper-pr Silver Lake reservoir is now
m the course of preparation for retaining
the supply for our town’s use. The spot
finally settled upon is the same as originally
selected by ourselves is 'just the spot that
nature had prepared for the purpose. The
wood is now all cleared of, and the stumps
beinggrubbcd out, while an excavation of
some twenty feet has been made. down to a
solid hard pan foundation to rest the dam
gates upon. There is an abundant supply
of rock close at hand, and we earnestly en-'
treat our Commissioners to erect-a stone and
gravel dam rather than an exclusively gravel
dam.’. In the one case we may have a Dan~
bury disaster and in the other such a horror
is impossible. The additional cost of a
stone and masonry interlining to the dam
Will’be so slight in consequence of the rock
supply on the ground, that it would seem
llmost unpardonable not _to use the stone.
l‘he line of piping will follow the Silver
Mine road substantially. The mains are
being manufactured near the New Canaan
Bridge, and it. will well repay any one inter-
ested in the works to visit both the pipe
mauufactory and the supplying reservoir
This is a public work of greater magnitude
than any ever attempted in Norwalk, and
its beneficial rrsults will inspire a grateful
recollection of all those who shed in its in-
troduction, long years afler all of is genera-
tion are in their graves. The Distributing
Reservoir on .Prospect Hill, is also being
proceedt‘d with, apd- the entire work is ex-
pected to be done by early winter. Let it
only be well done and there will then be no
cause of regret from any of our people, we
are entirely certain.

A devoted mother was astonished the other
night at receiving a telegram from her son»
a New York commuter, stating that he
would “not be home again." She was, as a

worried, but was relieved upon her son’s ap-
pearance next day and the explanation that
he had simply telegraphed that he would
“not be home to-night.”

have rejected the compromise offered by Mr.

Railroad commflnonero’ Report.
'We condense the. following hour the an-
nual report of the Railroad Commissioners,
to the General Assembly :—' '
The rolling stock of niost of the roads is
in good condition, and has been largely in—‘
creased; a‘ certain index of the increase of
business. The number of, engines has in.
creased since last report from 202 to 229, the
number of passenger cars from 268 to 312,
merchandise cars from 2,915 to 3,405. The
amount of gross earning were reported last
year at $8,774,117 59; this year the amount
is $9,672,947 77, showing an increase of $798,-
829 18. The netearnings last year were $2,-'
390.664 64, i. this year $2,525,702 69; increase
cosmos: .
It is recorded that no frightful railroad
'coll‘ssion or serious disaster has occurred in
the state during the year. Nearly all the
accidents reported. have been the result of
individual carelessness. It was shoWn. that
walking on the track is a more prolific
source of dangerthan; any other. Without
doubt, a statute making it illegal to walk up-
on a railroad track would deter many from
doing so, and greatly lessen, the fatality to
be recor led. Of the twentystwo accidents
to employees, a great part was occasioned
by jumping from ‘cars in motion, or other
neglect of due precaution in performing their
duties, only four-having received“ injuries in
coupling cars. Some device for connecting
cars, which will make it unnecessary for
brakemen to expose themselves to danger in
doing this work,_i_s greatlyneeded.

Only. two passengers have been injured,
both of these by their own presumption in
needlessly exposing themselves to danger;
one was killed at Danbury as the train ap-
proached the station, by jumping from the
cars while in motion; the other, standing on
the steps of the cars while the train was on
its way, which all passengers are forbidden
to do, was killed by coming in contact with
a bridge on the New London Northern road.
The transportation of more than eight mil-
lions of passengers has been accomplished
without accident or harm to a single indi-
vidual complying with wholesome and prop-
er regulations. ‘

The total capital of twenty-one Connecti-
cut railroads amounts to $40,567,000; the
total amount of capital paid in $20,485,101;
and the funded debt $15,620,633. , ‘

The'railroads of Connecticut have carried
during the past. eighteen years 78,158,086
passengers. During the same period 515
' lives have.been lost by railroad accidents in
the state. ' -

There are 816 miles of railroad track in
Connecticut and 403 more in progress of
construction. '

The railroads of Connecticut employ 5,.

165 men.

fi'The Adjutant Generals Report says
that owing to suspension of full encamp-
ments, and the uncertainty generally pre-
vailing as to what changes wlil be made in
the military law, the State National Guard
is not- in as good condition as it ought to be.
The force now numbers 2,806 men, and a
reduction to 2,200 is recommended, the force
.to be divided into four infantry regiments—
one in each Congressional District—also to
reduce the Artillery to two spctions o? bat-
tery of two guns each. The report also rec-
ommends for the purpose ‘of obtaining
greater efliciency that, the muzzle loading
muskets now in use he
breech-loading musketvbe substituted; and
that two or more companies be selected and
furnished with the repeating rifle.

The number of muskets owned by the
state is 4,322 and are in use, 3,972 in the state
arsenal have been disposed of by the com-
mission at an average price of $5.50 per mus-
ket. The amount received from the sale is
$32,502.65. ‘

Th'e adjutant general states that in his
opinion the number of days of military ser-
vice can be reduced, but he thinks that it
will be detrimental to abolish the regimental
encampments. He thinks it might be well
to limit six days ncampment in the fall to
two regiments an that the lax discipline that
has been observed in one or two instances
can be prevented by the adoption of more
stringent laws. Other states are remodeling
their systems, but in all the encampment
featute is retained.

‘ Attention is called to the condition of the
uniforms which were issued in 1865, and
which are not now in ‘a serviceable condi-
tion; It isrecommended that new uniforms
be issued, made of the best material. The
cost is estimated at from $50,000 to $60,000
if the force isreduced to 2.200. The general
is also of the opinion that the present com.-
mutation tax, if faithfully collected, will not
only pay the annual cost of the militia. but

 

 

place oney enough'iu the treasury in two
or th gears to pay for re-unil‘orming the
force. e is opposed to decreasing the tax

at present. The aggregate amount received
from the tax last t{earls $53,116, not inelu-
ding Hartford an New Haven. 'With the so
towns the amount would be about $62,000.

The returns from the‘counties show that
the inactive militia numbers 8,67! , the num
ber of persons liable to pay »a commutation
tax 26,558, the number subject to duty 9,645.
It is estimated that the'claims bureau has
saved claimants agent’s fees and illegal ex-
aclions to the amount of $10,000 and over -
$100,000 has been collected in pensions and
bounties. The number of men discharged
from the national guard during the year is
1,1368,6l’he number of enlistments 269, total
loss .9 '.

The manufacture of garters and suspen-
ders is a business ,of' greater magnitude than
' enerall‘y supposed. TWO factories—one

aterbur , Conn., and the other at East

tau—have. e h . a capital of
$300,000, and fiduce'abo t $200,000 each,
per anuum. eir suspender production
alone- is five hundred dozens per day, each.
There are about one hundred snialler man-
ufactorles' of suspenders, whose aver'hge
daily make is from twenty to one hundred
dozens. The rangin sale of suspenders. is
60 cents per pair, an garters 82 cents. The
highest cost per pair for suspenders is $15;
high cost garters commence at 15. The
latest novelty in the line of. ladies’ garters
are broad velvet bands, heavily fringed and
gilt mounted. .
It is well to know that in dressing for
photographs dark-brown, dark-green; ma-
roon, and plain black goods, without gloss,
will make arich'drab color; Silks of the '.
same color will take considerably lighter.
Snuff-brown,durk leather. dark rab,scar-
let, cherry, dark orange, crimson and slate
will ,also take a rich drab color. Violet,
blue, purple, pink and magenta“ will take
very light and should be avorded. The hair
should not be very wet or glossy.

cause he believes that many columns furnish
