One day last week we observed Ex.~Pres-

Wm' S. Lockwood standing about the Bank
vestibule, their eyes lit up with. an unusual
gleam ot pleasurable exhileration, as we
thought, and so we sought the cause of the
unwanted excitement. And sure enough
there was cause for it all. Cashier Street
had out and was counting over a stack of
old silver, coins, which had laid moulding
in the Bank vault for the forty years past or
more I The Bank has some eight or ten
thousand dollars of this eorrodiug metal,
and once in a while with great solemnity, it
is brought out and counted over. Notwith-
standing the interest on that specie since its
coinage, would have paid several dividends,
the sound of its click and drink so revived
old and forgotten memories of the past as to
make these elders of the Bank smile as
aforesaid. _

who entertained the audience in one of his
happiest and most inimitable after dinner
speeches. Philander Button of Greenwich
next took the stand. He was followed suc-

and at its close made a most earnest and
solemn invocation for an outpouring of the
Divine spirit and blessing upon the church
and people which had so generously
ministered to their happiness. The exercises
at the Hall concluded, by singing the Dox-

As
the world may‘not know, it will be because
self to be. You well know that Ex-Gover-
nors, United States Senators, Members of
longress and Judges of our Courts, with
eminent and humble civilians, have ap-
peared before our legislatures, and with en-
tire propriety used their influence either for
or against measures to be acted upon. If
they were not paid a fair remuneration for
their time audexpenses while so employed,
the public. supposition is at fault, and Were
shabbily treated. Good and true men have
always been, . and will, ‘ no bt, de-
spite your “crusade,” continue t e end of
time, to be thus employed. If this isgmu—
ly and honestly done, there is, in our hum-
ble estimation, no cause for" alarm. We
know that one have been engaged in noth-
ing before the Legislature and received no
compensation that :we are not willing the
whole world should know as' fully of, as
about any other business transaction. This
may be f‘bravado” in the eyes of Mr. Brom-
lay, but we never uttered the truth with
more sincerity. The swivel, may awaken
your disgust or pity, but this we cannot
help. Our judgments naturally differ as
to what men are most prone to do under
certain circumstances. Your simile of the
court and jury is not germaine. But if it
were, who ever doubted ouc's right to in-
troduce all the‘m'lmsaes he choses, in aid of
his case. We have never sought, or in-.
duccd others to seek us lobby employment}
‘thn called upon to aid in any matter
like the capital question, we must, with all
deference to Mr. Bromley, be left to our
own judgment as to. the propriety of our
acceptance. Mr.Bromley objects to going
behind the tomb-stone of honored David
Lyman, and well he may. He is probably
not the first falsifying editor who has been
afraid to “follow through _a grave yard.”_
But sharp repartec, slander and unmeritedi
denunciation, are not argument, as the Post’s
treatment of this discussion abundantly
proves. He asks if we “know that votes
were bought and sold at the last Le‘gisla-3
ture.” Most certainly we do not. We know
the Post, as we thought, most unjustly and;
outrageously assailed the Senator from the,
201h and with cunning ingenuity sought to‘
convey the impression that he sold his vote
to New Haven on the capital question.-
With much better show of reason, but with-
out the slightest proof, we heard the coun-i
ter charge that Hartford had bought votes,
away from New Haven. 'We do not bela’cce
they did. We know the authorized agents
of Hartford ,were very, earnest and active
in securing the passage of the act which
heavily taxes the whole State for that city’s
adornment. We believe the personal rela-
tions of Mr. Bromley were quite intimate
with those agents, and admit his sources of
information on this point, to be much bet-
ter than ours. We do know, that we have
never seen any denunciation of the city of
Hartford’s part, in the capital lobby, from
Mr. Bromley, while he has been unsnairing
in his vilification of men whose lives have
been at least as blameless, and their reputa-
tions as untarnished as his own. If it Was
wrong fog many Of the foremost and most
honorable citizens of Connecticut to join
Hartford in its efforts to upset the present
capital system, in oppositiOn to the wishes
of great numbers in the State, and of nine
out of every ten in this section, it certainly
was wrong for Hartford to time employ them.
Why not then abuse your own city for its
share of the responsibility?
We would not underrate Mr. Bromley's
influence, Or the force of his just criticisms.
Whether we shall be there another year, is
not of the least consequence to the issue.
That fact will depend upon circumstances
and not upon MrrBromley’s falsificationof
what we have heretofore done. If we are
there, we shall endeavor to demean- our-
selves as we always have done, and as an
honest man always should do, and above all,
we shallfnol slander Mr Bromley.

of the Congregational ministers, of Connec-

interest.

churches, was a fitting finale to the services -
of the week. That in Trinity-chapel being
conducted by Dr. Spencer, who preached

This church has recently added over two

The services in the Congregational church
were conducted by the pastor, Rev. H. N.
Dunning, 'who, after thanking his own peo-
ple, and all those who with “open hand and
open hearts” helped make the recent con-
vention so pleasant,and profitable, preached '
a practical, and forcible sermon from the
words “What must I do to be saved.” Acts
