To-day, the Republicans of the great State
of New York have the opportunity to
achieve a greatness transcending any mere
.partizan triumph. With no Candidates of
“commanding preeminence before them for
election to the subordinate places on their
State ticket,—-torn by a cruel, a senseless
dissension, between her two Senators,—ber
chief Federal offices filled with men, at
least obnoxious to a powerful minority of
the party—the chances for a political tri-
umph under such conditions, would not or-
dinarily be deemed possible. But the com-
mon enemy, not only of Republican princi-
ples but also of common honesty has‘ given
our friends a rare chance to achieve a vie-
tory more important and memorable than
any ever attained hitherto, in any state of
the union. And a. legislature which is to
place a United States Senator in the counsels
cf the Nation is one of the important issues
depending upon and easily within the grasp
ofthe Republicans of the Empire state to.
day; To the State and to the Nation,this is
of the gravest importance. But even secur-
ing the great prize of a U. S. Senator for six
years, is a trifle in comparison with the duty
and the necessity of securing such a triumph
tO-day, as shall strip the infamous scoun—
drels of Tammany of their power, to longer
ruleand plunder the people of New York.
Upon this result the eyes of the whole civil-
iz'e'd world are concentrated. We do not be-
lieve the, hopes of all good and true men are.
who disappointed. Never has there been
such an interest taken in such an election,
and never have so many of the indifferent
been aroused. Of course repealing, false
counting and kindred rascalities will make a
desperate effort in aid of expiring Tammany.
But it ought to give hope and soften parti—
zan 'asperi ' ,that thousands of honest dem-
ocrats, disgusted by their infamous leaders,
are tO-day working shoulder to shoulder
with Republicans in a determined effort to
rout Tammany thieves and elect honest men.
To victory, ye men of New York!
W‘The Improvements on West Avenue,
go on space. Mr. E. W. Stuart, Messrs.
Vanderbofi‘ &_Bsattys and Allen & Price, et
al, have gnttered and curbed the East side
up to Merwin street. On the West side, Le

to the same end. Dr. Lynes has cut'down
his walk to grade, and curbed and gnttered
the same. ' Mrs. Sears has most sensibly set
.back ~her front line of fence so as to save
"those beautiful Ash trees in front of her res-
:idenee. The same line will be adopted by
>S.‘Van Hosear, in front of his house now be-
ing excavated for and adjoininngs.Sears on
'the' South; Messrs. Earl and Benedict pro-
pose'the same sensible plan this side of Elm
street so as to save their front trees, and if
'the same could be done at the end of the
Mrs. Selleck homestead,and ithus save- those
noble elms, the public and the owners of the
. property would be greatly benefited. Were
this done our Methodist friends would no,
- doubt similarly set in their fence in front of
and in line with their Parsonage, and also
' cut off the unsightly cprner qu projecting
andbarricading the turn West to Mott ave-

tmain avenue be; wonderfully improved,
while each; man's prepggtywould be increas

On the East sideu _I§;trOm'-Merwin street
Messrs. Morison, Smith, ”‘iiton, St. John,
St, Mary’s church, Mr. Dot’y’and the Keeler
and Quigley places, have been similarly gut-
tered and curbed. ‘ Next, Mr. Lewis Curtis,
seeing the improvement made in the Moss’-
~man place and the Isaacs lot, has commenc-
ed the excavation of his yard with a slope
. from house to street. He was particularly
fortunate in being able to settle his fine elm
- shade trees to their new beds with good
prospect of not materially checking their
growth. The improvements on this avenue
are so general and thorough that everybody
will regret that the out-jutting corner post
at the junction of the Mossman and Isaaes
line, could not have been set back some
eight or ten feet and the additional space
given to the roadway. The roadbed itself,
from Isaacs‘s Hill to Chapel street should be
graded to slope- this way and this will be
done, and the, avenue McAdamized, - no

triumph of engineering skill, is made to run

W‘As an indication of the growth of
Norwalk, we recently instanced the rapid
strides made by one of our Grocery-firms
But a few short years ago there was not a
firm in the place, in that line of business,
that occupied more than one small store,
and nothing of any account was done by
any of them in the wholesale line. The
great bulk of the farm produce from this
vicinity was carried to New York for a
market, two lines of papkets being engaged
in that business. All of our Older citizens
of Norwalk, and for miles around, well rc-
member the old “Selleck‘ line of Packets,”
and it must have been largely owing to their
upright dealing there, and'conscquent' well-
cstablished popularity, that the Selleck
Brothers, upon retiring from the packet
business and opening a wholesale and re-
tail Grocery and Provision Store, were ena-
bled to fairly jump as it were into a large
and prosperous trade.
They commenced only two or three years
ago, in the store then just vacated by the
Post Ofiice, in Quintard’s Building and al-
though many thought that they could not
succeed so far out of the centre of what had
hitherto been the business portion of the vil-
lage, they were soon obliged to seize more
room. They now occupy both stores of the
block, a basement underneath and. large
storage basement on the dock, all of which
they keep constantly well-filled. '
Selleck Brothers had a monopoly of all
the freight space on Saturday’s Propeller
and an extra boat bad to be forwarded from
N. Y. Saturday night to bring up the accu-
mulation of miscellaneous freight. - The‘
Sellecks had 500 barrels of Western Apples,
100 Firkins of Butter and lots of other things.
On Main Street, there is but one of the
old'veterans left, viz: George Holmes (firm
of G. 85 S. H. Holmes,) who continues at'
old stand and occupies two of the largest an
finest stores on that street; notwithstanding
Mr. H. has been left almost alone by the ill-
neSs of his son Stephen he is full of fire and
vigor, and is doing a large, and, apparently,
his full share of trade.
_In the City of South Norwalk, James H.
Knapp & Co., have also stepped into a large
business almost immediately on opening.
They are located right along side of Crotbt
& Kuapp’s Hat Manufactory, and under the
management of Charley Richards, formerly
Richards & Dake, appear to 'be in the full
blush of business success.

The new fire alarm bell arrived last week,
and yesterday was hung on top of the tower
of Phoenix Hose Co's‘House, Water Street,
and is now ready for use. We presume
that the Borough will be divided into sev-
eral districts, and a series of alarm signals
adopted. The hell, we understand, will be
placed in charge of the police. We sugget
that it be rung for an hour or so, this after-
noon, to give the people a chance to beCome
