Election Ponde,-1narlguration, and
» Message.
3:» ‘\ On Tuesday last, (one of the, most glori-
:1 ' ously genial days of the year)'the*old time
, election parade and ceremonies were observ-
__ ed at Hartford. The procession was formed
j _upon the Park, and the Governor elect cs-
corted thither, when the line proceeded on
a march through the principal streets of the
city and‘bringing up at the State House
about '2 O‘clock p. In. There were the Hart-
ford and New Haven Military companies:
horse, foot, and artillery, with the novel
feature of three companies of colored troops
in neat new uniforms, and enjoying im-
mensely their first public escort duty in the
good State of Connecticut. The streets
were lined with enthusiastic observers, and
the whole surrounding country, seems to
have been emptied into, Hartford. The dc:
mocracy were a little sullen, as they had a
right to be, over the failure of their little
game in New Haven. Their mortification
is two-fold, being chagrined at the detection
and exposure, and utterly disgusted at the
stupidity exhibited by the perpetrators of
the inquity. To be proven Scoundrels be-
fore the world, is uncomfortable, even to
democrats, but to be demonstrated to be un-
mitigated fools as well, is really unbearable.
Governor Jewell was accompanied by
Govs. Claflin of Massachusetts, and Perham,
of Maine, with their respective aids. At a
quarter to three the Governors proceeded to
the Representatives Hall, wheré the Legisla-
ture awaited his arrival, in Joint Convention,
when Judge Pardee administered the oath of
ofilce and the Governor took the Speaker’s
desk and delivered the annual message.
This document will be found elsewhere in
to-day‘s GAZETTE.‘ It embodies the plain,
practical suggestions of a thoroughly praC-
tical, and common sense man, and we be-
speak for it a careful reading, as it will well
repay any one at all interested in the honor
and welfare of the Stafe. ,
The election exercises oven-the Legislai
ture at once “ proceeded to business,” and
rattled off “petition after petition, and acts
in addition to acts,” with exhilarating celer-_
ity, for the balance of the week. Now fora
short, sharp, decisive session and early ad-
Jourumeut.
The Reservoirs.
Work has been actively commenced upon
both the Receiving Reservoir at Upper Sil-
ver Millennium Distributing Reservoir on
the summit of Prospect Hill. We should
have been glad could our mains have been
14 or 16 inch pipe instead of 12, but the ex-
tra expense, We presume, has given our
Commissioners “pause.” It is really too
bad, however, that the distributing reservoir
should not now be made larger. We have
traveled thousands of miles and examined
at least a. hundred public water works, and
the one universal outcry, without exception,
has been that “ we wasted thousands in try-
ing to save hundreds at the start.” The use
and consumption of water is always and
ever on the increase. If ten thousand dol-
lars Worth of water he used next year, it
will be fifleen or twenty the next, and so on,
increasing with an enormous per cent. over
the mere increase of population. The Res-
ervoir on Prospect Hill should be at least a
hundred feet larger in diameter, and the
cost now, would be but a trifle compared to
the construction ot a second one, which will
become inevitable, and that within five
years. '

A young son of Frederick Belden’, died

We understand that an efi‘ort is being
made to extend the Eastern Boulevard to
Norwalk, and that a petition will be pre—
sented to‘the Legislature to authorize the
several towns on the line to construct the

up as Port Chester, and itis claimed that it
can be worked to Norwalk at much less
cost per mile than'that portion already com-

the past week. jETh‘e “ Treaty of Washing—
ton,” forahe consideration of which, that
august body was convened in extraordinary
session, has _hadm) be field aside, until the.
exasperating question can be solved, as to
how a cOpy Of that treaty got into the hands
of a Tribune reporter. As every tree. 8111111)
and plant, has its enemy and parasite, so Le_
grave Senator has his fell adversary in the
reporter, clinging to him and penetrating his
inmost soul and, extorting from h1m‘(always
unawarcs,) secrets he would not impart to
his wife. For the ten hundred and seventy-
uintli time has this been done and we do not
wonder at the present outburst of virtuous
indignation. Is there to be no surcease of
this newspaporial- “capping and mining?"
Shall the press Of the land be permitted to
publish everyf morning all that their servants
have said and done at Washington in execu-
tive session, atd in secret caucus? Certain-‘
1y it will goon, just so long asthe people de-
and just so long as the absurd folly is in—
dulged in by the Representatives of a free
and enlightened nation, of holding secret
sessions at all. The people love open tlis—
cussion, and only laugh in derision at such
an exhibition of impotent indignation and
rage as that enacted the past week,aflVash-
ington. Probably no set of men bought up
the Tribune containing the Treaty, with
greater avidity,thau these self-same Senators.
The administration had itself given out a
comprehensive synopsis Of it, showing its
desire to place it before the people, and all
this fuss and bluster over the enterprise of
two humble correspondents, while their. eu-
pcriors are untouched, looks, in the eyes of
sensible people, as “ very like a farce.”
The Senate can make no credit for itself be-
fore the cbuntry, however, provoking its
attitude, for the people wanted to see the Treaty
and this tilt at the helpless reporters, but
stimulates and increases the popular com-
mendation of the Tribune's enterprise.
a mere advertising investment, the New
York Wm could richly. alford to pay
$20,000 for the notoriety and publicity the.
American Senate has given its enterprise
threughdut the civilized world. But can
the Senate afford to engage so extensively
‘in this patent medicine style of advertise-
ment. In denying that the Treaty was ob-
tained from any member or officer of the
Senate, the Tribune correspondents have
purged themselves of-all Senatorial con—.
tempt, and the depriving them of their liber-
ties after that, is a stretch of despotic power,
which the press and the people will most as
'suredly condemn. The whole country rang
with praises because at Gettysburg,~Miue
Run, Kilnatrick’s raid around Richmond,
and Grant’s battle of the Wilderness, the
first news _ the government and the people
obtained from its armies was from the Trib-
une’a correspondents, and the public senti—
ment of the country will no less land the
justifiable enterprise of that paper, in giving
it, at the earliest possible moment, as it did,
a State paper of such grave and momentous
interest as the “ Treaty of Washington.”

Thesize of the building is 82x38. There is
to be an English basement,‘and two stories
surmounted by a- manshrd roof, making
really four stories; While there is nothing
in the least. extravagant about the structure,
the design is such that it will really be an

,—A missonary of the American. Sunday
School Union in Minnesota, was repulsed
by a mother because she took him for a‘ ped-
dler, but when he sat down, on her door
step and teld her chilren the storyrol the life
and death of Jesus, she came and stood be-
hind and said, while the tears filled her. eyes
“I had een-a-most forgotten that story, for
mother died when I was a child; but now
this takes me clean back to .Maine. Seems
like as though I never had a chance to
know anything; but I dont mean In child-
ren shall be without larniu.” So unday
Schools are started on the frontier. _ ,
One man who had opposed the organi-
zatiou of Sunday-Schoolsfinally yieldedsay-
ing, “Well we are wicked enough, God
knows; and if anythinv can be done to raise
the price of land, I’m in for it.” This was
rather' “mixing things" but the Sunday

That there is anopen passage about the

the stump otPacific fishermen, whose gen-
eral custom it into mark th ir harpoons
with the name of their ship, d the time
and place of fishing. Inasmuch as those
whales cannot pussuuder ice,bnt have to
come to the surface at short'intervals to take
breath, and inasmuch as they cannot pass
through tropical watch—the finding of a
Pacific whale in, the North Atlantic is con-
clusive proof that» the animal crossed theArc—

LIVING BEYOND Tm Mnma—Bulwer
says poverty is only an idea iu-nine cases
out of ten. Some- meu with $10,000 a car
sufi'cr more for want of. means than at ers
with $500. The reason is, thericber man
has artificial wants. His income .is $10,000
a year and he sufi‘ers enough for being dun-
ned for unpaid debts to kill a sensitive
man. A man who earns a dollar'a day and
does not get‘in debt, is the happiest of the
two. Ver few peoplelwbobave never been"
rich will elieve this ; but it is true. Th'erl
are thousands and thousands-With rlncely
incomes who never know amiuut 3 peace,
because they live beyond their means.
There is rcull more happiness among the
' ,workingmeu in the world than among those
who are called rich.

From the report of Sept. Ho t we extract
the following items :- here ave passed
over the road .-durln .the past year 9,492
passenger trains, and ‘ ,504 freight trains ex-
clusive of construction and gravel trains.
The number of passengers carried was 2,-
551,656, and the number carried during the
last fifteen years is 24,587,002, without acci-
dent to any train on the road that caused
the loss of life or limb to any paseuger trans-
ported. The engines during the year have
run 824,968 miles, at the .cost of seven and.
eight-tenth cents a mile for repairs including
the cost of rebuilding one engine, and at the
cost of twelve cents per mile for fuel. There
are now 80 engines and two new ones are
being constructed. _ Nine passenger cars
have been sold. The number of cars now
in use is 74 passenger, 17 baggage. 826
freight, 30 gravel cars and an Interest m 53
through passenger cars. There have been
placed on the road within the year, _88,658

former it is not my purpose now to speak.
VB in q thing by itself; But of .the Oil Fuchs?
'.rles¢'-I. propOse to offer a few remarks. v' 01‘
the forty or fifty witnesses spoken of in your
article, none of them has so good an oppor-
tunity .of knowing voila: they . smelled, or
10km the smells camefrom as the Oyster-men
who are daily in the habit of working close
to the factories, and none of these witnesses
testified that the fisheries were a nuisance,
or that the business was in any way detri-
mental to health. But I notice that Mr. .1.
H. Keyser comes in for a part in the matter
that covers him all over with glory, viz. the
breaking up of the Fisheries. -
‘ In-O'ther times, and by other people,cven
"in'Co’nnlcticut, I_ think wiser counsels pre-
vailed,—for it is not beyond the memory of
many of us, that New England Cities were
built up by fisheries—vide New . London,
Nantucket, New Bed-ford and other places
that would have had no existence but for
Oil Fisheries. I care not whether the man-
ufacture comes from the seal, the porpoise,
whale or menhaden. It was the Oil Fishe-
ries that contributed largely to make New
England what she is to-day. But this little
malicious effort to destroy a new and prOfit-
able industry that bids fair to add wealth
to the State must be laid waste to gratify
Mr..John H. Keyser, who boasts that-he has
spent $80,000 on Keyser Island tO stay his
three or four months in a yearL-and who,
your article states, “Generously consented
to a suspension of the injunctiourfor the
season” only about one month. -What an
amazing stretch of generosity I after de-
stroying $100,000 worth of property and
sending so many people adrift to do the best
they could tor themselves+not having $80,-
000 to spend on Keyser Island Mr. Keyser
has laid his heavy hand upon them, and
said, thus will I utterly-destroy them even to
the lies of the .Sea, and Islanders have no
him if a wife and children are made to suffer
away down on the Islands, among those
nasty fishermen, who have no schools:
churchesrdocto‘I'stost roads; and other
evidences of civilization; Away with
' them, fer the Great I Am has spent $80,000
oil Keyser Island for a three or four month’s
residence, and they must stand Aside!
. Are there no nuisances in towns and cit-
ies that the people must have, that are not
liable within the meaning of the ' fawto in-
dictment, and that. are daily and. hourly a
nuisance—as horse stables, hog pens, and
many other places ?
Admit that some person has~ smelled _the
Fisheries once ortwice a year, have they
had no other bad odors in that period of
time 1’ Mr. Keyser is welcome to all the
glory and all the comfort that his action in
the matter may carry with it. One Swallow
does not make Spring, nor will the breaking
up of the Fisheries be the'end thereof. 8.
Wasting the Borough-Taxes.
EDITORS GAZETTE :—If any of our over-
burdened tax-payers will visit the recent z'm-
provements (B) on the main road by St. Paul’s
church, and the blockade of the entrance
to the horse sheds on the church grounds,
the evidence of a senseless waste of the pub-
lic money, is there made strongly apparent.
Pitfalls, or ditches, possibly intended for gut-
ters, have been constructed to the detriment
beast. In the street, at this point. when the
frost is coming out in the spring, a bad hole
of considerable dimensions exists and heav-
ily loaded teams then find the street almost
impassible. The present improvement of top
dressing this streetwilh loam is to increase
this annoyance, as well as to give additional
dust and mud at other seasons of the year.
This loam and dirt should be removed; the
hole referred to excavated and filled with
stone and then top dress the street with
coarse gravel or broken stone.
