Thc 'I‘own Election.
The efforts made by active democratic
manipulators of our town election, to stir‘
up sectional jealousies, warrant us in refer-
ring to the matter more in detail than we
were able to last week. A good democratic
brother here boasts that he sent word to
South Norwalk,thc first thing election mOru-
ing,to the effect that the Bridge was “ cut-
ting ” all South Norwalk candidates, and
when he had got the poison nicely working
there, he then went to the Town House and
assured the Bridge voters that South Nor-
walk was “ cutting” all our nominees. It
may bethat some Republicans are so shal-
low as to be influenced by this threadbare
dodge of the democracy. If there are any
such, they are too far gone for sober reason-
ing, and we will proceed to explain what
may not be so clear to all minds. First in
reference to our Selectman, Mr. Tuttle. A
bitter and successful onslaught was made
upon him last year in the interest of the de-
mocracy. Those who were most active
against him desired to defeat the party rath-
er than the individual, but by means of a
groundless clamor against him, they succeed-
ed in his defeat. Before our ticket was
nominated this year it was known that it
was the enemy’s intention to nominate and
run Mr. Tuttle on their democratic ticket, in
spite of any remonstrances he might make,
in case the Republican caucus failed to re-
nominate him. For this reason, among oth-
ers, it was thought best to run Mr. Tuttle,
but no.sooner was he placed on the regular
Republican ticket than he was again most
bitterly maligned and assailed, and with the
result stated. We have the satisfaction of
knowing that Mr. Hanford will make a most
excellent Selectman and will not lend him
self to any of the despicable arts or games
which are so rife with too many of the Nor-
walk “Young Democracy.” ‘
Then in the contest over constable and
collector, the effort was made to induce the
belief that objection was created against
John H. Smith on account of locality. This
was totally unfounded. Not the least ob-
jection is entertained to Mr. Smith in any
section of the town, so far as we can learn.
He is an energetic, high-minded and most
worthy gentleman, and would be an accep-
table officer to every honest tax-payer in the
town. But Mr. Raymond, 0f the Down
Town District, was nominated not on per-
sonal grounds, but from,a sense of the sheer
est justice. ‘His father’s estate was most se-
riously encumbered with back and unpaid
taxes, and good many men of both parties
supported his election, that the family might
by the son’s continuation in his father’s of-
fice, save his estate from serious loss. “ It
was this, and nothing more.” It might bet-
ter be charged that our Superintendent of
Highways was a South Norwalk candidate,
because he resides and votes in that district.
Mr. Fitch does not live either within the city
or Borough limits and was chosen from thag
sense of justice that no man will more read-
ily endorse than John H. Smith.
But the final question is, what has become
of the boasted and boastful democracy, here
in Norwalk ? For two years they have not
ventured to run a ticket of their own for
town ofilccrs, but have mixed up n hodge_
podge mess of Republicans and nondescript
democrats. In these “Union Tickets,” “Cit-
izens Tickets,” £50., they have been careful
to run a large majority of Republicans and
our most popular ones at that. The propor-
Iion this year was more largely in our favor
than heretofore. We must commend their
taste, and compliment their discernment,
and would suggest that if they would swal—
low our whole ticket hereafler, without al-
teration, they might enjoy the, to them, un—
usual experience of electing their ticket.

Danbury Fair.
Our friends at the “head of railroad navi-
gation" had a “big time" of it at their fair.
The show'Of people was the largest and
grandest part of it, but this is not denying
that it was really a bump-up good fair, for it
was. The Governor and stafi‘ arrived Thurs-
day evening from Litchfield and had a levee
at the Wooster House. The party lefi next

The New York Democracy.
There was a chance for the New York
democracy to purge itself of all responsi-
bility for the theives of the New York Ring.
But it sold out soul and body to Tweed,who
from his safe retreat dictated its action
throughout, and although from motives of
policy he refrained from taking open part
in its proceedings, he came off as its Chief,
because there. was neither virtue or courage
enough in the party to throw Tammany
overboard. '
Return of Father Smith.
Rev. P. A. Smith, who has been to Europe
on a short vacation, is expected to arrive in
New York (0—day. His parishionefs are to
give him a public reception to-morrow upon
his arrival in N orwalk. A procession will
be formed which will march to the depot
and escort him to his residence. In the eve»
ning, at the Stone church, there will be ad-‘
dresses, singing, &c., in honor of his return,
and he will be presented with a Bible as a
token of the esteem in which he is,held by
his people. Welcome Home. ... ..

The United States authorities have made
quite a stir in Utah by the arrest of Brigham
Young for the crime of polygamy; We pre-
sume it is only a ruse to make fees out of.
the public treasury and pacify the unre-
fiectiug clamor against the loathsome prac-
tice. What the government ought to do is
to inflexibly repress any further spread of
the vile leprosy, and let the system die out
with those families which have already
practiced it, and involved entirely innocent
women and children in its results.. The
government having tolerated it until' the
Mormons themselves are crying out against
this course is the only just or sensible one.
The Mormons will sooner rid themselves of
it, than the nation can by means which the
deluded dupes of Brigham can so easily be
led to believe is simply persecution.

The monthly union service under the
auspices of this Association was held Sab-
bath cvcning, at the lst Congregational
Church. The Sermon was preached by
Rev. Mr. Goodsell of the South Norwalk
Methodist Church. His subject was “Read-
ing.” He showed the importance of care-
fulness in the selection of reading mat-
ter, and gave the large audience some excel-
lent advice as to what they should read and
how to read it. The discourse abounded in
telling hits at the prevalent literature of the
day, and the speaker closed with an eloquent
and masterly eulogy of the Bible as the book
most worthy of our attention. Revs. Dun-
ham and Gates assisted in the Services.
The Association have arranged for an
intellectual and musical entertainment to be
given at the 1st Congregational Church,
Wednesday Evening of this week, the exer-
cises to cousist of Select Readings by Rev.

mendation from us. The Admission is free,
but a collection will be taken in aid of the
Association. We hope the public will at-
tend this cntertaiumcnt, and give the Asso-
ciation a generous' lift.

hundred and fifty, at one dollar and fifty
cents each, the first hour. The Opera House
will comfortable seat about one thousand
persons, and we hope to see every seat 0c-
cupied. Miss Kellogg will be supported by
an excellent company, including Miss Ma-
thilde Toedt, the brilliant violinist, and for-
merly coutralto singer in Mr. Becchcr’s
church. We trust that music-loving people
throughout all this section of country will
avail themselves of this rare opportunity of
listening to Amorica’s favorite singer. Re-

.The CONNECTICUT BAPTIST CONVENTIC’,
Whose 48th annual meeting is to be held
with the Baptist church in this place, the
17th and 18th insts., was organized in 1823.
It is simply a convention of delegates from
the Baptist churches of the state, and is
hence a voruntary organization without leg-
islative or adminstrative control over them.
Its design is to promote the cause of Chrst
in the world by fostering and assisting fee-
ble churches, and by co-opcrating in other
evangelistic efforts. The mission work 0f
the denomination in the state is committed
'to the direction of the convention. At each
meeting a report is presented by the Secre-
tary and a sermon preached by some one
appointed the previous year. Rev. A. Bar-
relle, formerly of Meridcn, preaches the ser-
mon Tuesday eve the 17th inst.
The CONNECTICUT BAPTIST EDUCATIONAL
SOCIETY, holds its 43d anniversary in con-
nection with the convention. This is the
agency through which the Baplits oi the
state assist indigent young men who are call-
ed of God to preach the Gospel, in acquiring
such knowledge and culture as will make
them more useful in the work of the minis-
try. The society consists of annual and life
members and delegates from the churches.
Last year eleven young men were aided in
prosecuting their studies. The property held
by the Connecticut Literary Istituliou at

A PROTEST. \
Messrs Editors :——Amoug the 1arge\and
respectable audience that greatly admired
and enjoyed, the eloquent and excellent dis-
course of the Rev. Mr. Goodsell before the
Young Men’s Christian Association, there
were some who wondered at and regretted
the distinction and earnestness with which,
in such a presence, he singled out CHARLES
DICKENS from the whole catalogue of En.
glish and American writers of fiction, as the
only name on which he: bestowed his com-
mendation. - -
Without presuming or wishing to derog-
ate aught from 'the fame of his genius, or
from the real worth of his writings, may we
not ask, are they more deserving (than all
other fictions of the reading of Chris-
tian Young Men) : in which they may
find better knowledge, higher culture, justcr
dcliucatious of Characters worthiest to be
elevated for observation as models, or as
beacons ?
Nothing was said of Dickens‘ religious or
moral character; nor was this necessary, but
he was spoken of as a "missionary of human
progress.” Now all missionaries, whether
ministers, or other public teachers and re-
formers, are indng by their lives and deeds
as well as words. This is the crucial test
to which they are all subjected. “Do men
gather grapes of thorns ‘2"
If your readers may peruse an article by
Dr. Holland, editor of Scribner’s Monthly,
in the number for October, page 653, they
may see Dickens in this crucible, and learn
how this -“missionary of human progress”
treated three of the principal reforms of
ourpday.
We write this in no unfriendly spirit to-
toward the preacher, whom we highly cs;
teem, but we deprecate the “fly in the (rich)
ointment.” Human.
MEssns. EDITORS—My name appears as a
borrower from E. A. Woodward in the Sun’s
list of his loans. I applied to the Savings
Bank, (while It was under the old regime)
and was so trified With and befooled by them
by promises they .ncvcr kept, that I 'was
compelled to look elsewhere. I applied to
Mr. Woodward and readily got my loan at
3112: per cent interest, instead of seven pcr cent
discount! Do those who borrow from the
Banks, ever calculate their real interest?
With all our taxes added, and discount in-
stead of interest, it makes the poor man pay
not less than III-nap” cent, a rate to excess-
ive to belong endured under legal sauctious.

OCTOBER 611:,1871.
MESSRS. A. H. Byington & Co.
GENTs.—We know that you have done
much good by calling the people’s attention
to needed alterations.
We would like to have you call the poo-
ple’s attention to the public highway near
the Norwalk Mills, in Winnipauk.
It is a very dangerous road as now loca-
ted; crossing the track three times in about
sixty rods and when not crossing runs either
by the side of the railroad or canal, or be-
tween both. Should an accident occur the
town of Norwalk must be liable for the dam-
ages. It is unsafe and dangerous and the
people of Norwalk have been repeatedly
warned of it by those having the road to
travel. It needs altering atonce and when
the town alters, it would seem that it would
pay the people of N orwalk to continue the
New road by Norwalk Mills north,ncarly in
a straight line up through a ravine to Wil-
ton line, and thus avoid the crossing of the
railroad track but once, and get rid of the
steep hills on the old or present road.
We understand, the residents on the road
in Wilton desire this alteration. We think
the alteteration would be worth the cost and
we think those who have traveled the road
forthc last ten years are entitled to it.
Yours Most Kindly, IMPROVEMENT.
REV. WILLIAM JARVIS, whose death oc-
curred last week, was a native of N orwalk,
son of Hezekiah Jarvis, born in the old
homestead opposite to St Paul‘s Church,
where his sisters still rcsidc. Occupied with
duties, relations and interests in other parts
of Conccticut, he has been seen and. known
but little of late years, in the home of his
jgotith.
But there, are some of our citizens who
have not forgotten the teachers of their child-
hood in the upper hall of the old “Town
House," on the town’s hill; where, fifty
years ago Brewer, Sommers and Jarvis dis-
pensed knowledge and exercised discipline.
Subsequent meetings, at intervals of years,
over seemed to afford pleasure mutually to
the teacher and his pupils.
He was ordained deacon by Bishop Brow-
nell in Norwalk, August 7th, 1822, admitted
to the priesthood by the same Bishop in East
Haddam, November 5th. 1823. He was for
some time rector of St Peter’s church, Heb--
ron, and, for several years rector of Trinity
church Portland. In consequence of a bron.
chial affection he resigned his rcctorship
there, and subsequently lived for some years
in Middletown.
resided in Hartford the greater portion of
