. WasurNo'rON,‘ DEC. 16th.
All. interest in Legislation has centered in
Trumbull's resolution before the Senate,
calling fOr’a committee of general investiga- -

’ tloii, with power to send for persons and
papers. It‘s introduction was met by a
fierce‘opposition by such leading adminis-
tration Senators as Morton, Conkling, Ed-

. munds, and others, their claim being that
such a‘course was unusual, unnecessary and
lmpolltic.. Senators Trumbull, Shurz, Lo-
gan, Tipton, and others responded that the
recent defalcations of Paymaster Hodge, the
two treasury cashiers, the performances or
Bank Examiner Callender, of New York,
were sufiicient to justify extraordinary
action on the part of Congress. That a
neglect to-institute the most searching in-
vestigation would be justly looked upon by
the country as a confession of weakness.
The discussion was conducted with such ill.
concealed bad temper, that it was deemed
prudent» to attempt, by caucus action, a
more gmciliatory course of action. Three
caucuses were held of the Republican Sena-
tors, but if reports, deemed reliable, of their
‘secret action, are to be believed, a most
stormy and angry contest was ”waged
throughout. Oil the one hand the charge
was made that the Trumbull resolution was
cunningly devised and deliberately designed
as a covert attack upon Gen. Grant's admin-
istration. Mr. Trumbull is understood to,
have resented the charge with much spirit
and severity of language. Other judicious
friends of the administration expressed their
belief that while the Trumbull’resolutiou
was in some respects defective it not inop-

portune, It would now be very impolitic to

suppress it. Ultimately a committee was.
agreed upon, of which Gov. Buckingham is
chairman, charged with the duties of inves-
tigation, but the power of sending for per-
sons and papers is withheld. _It is feared
that this attempt to pour oil upon the
troubled waters will prove oil poured upon
the fire when the debate shall again break
forth in open Senate. In this view of the
situation it is fortunate that an adjourn-
ment is contemplated from Thursday next

over to the ninth of January. , .

In the House the apportionment bill, the
appropriation of a; quarter of amillion to
detkay the expeli'se of carrying out the
Alabama treaty stipulations, have passed.
Congressman Kellogg's resolution for $62,;
000 to continue the river and harbor inl-
provements in his district has been appro-
priately referred. ’ Some Connecticut pppers

' ’we observe, have erroneously doubted the

amount of this oontemplged appropriation.

Mr. Kellogg’s resolution is in exact con~

formity with the estimate submitted by

Gen. Warren, Engineerin-chief of the East-

ern Department.’ Mr. K. being recognized

here as a most untiring worker, the Speahr
has added to his other committee positions
that of - second on patents, and a place on
the Pacific R. R. committee in place of Rep-
resentativeLynch. ‘ . -
, Mr’. Starkwealher has been ill for several
days resulting flour a severe cold. He has
appointed “Mr. Allen Tenny, of Norwich,
clerk of his committee on the District of

Columbia. . ‘

Gen..-W. T. Clark, has not yet been able
to obtain a reportin his favor from the cOm-
mittee o'n elections. It is understood that a
majority of the committee will report the
facts to- the House, and that. Clark will be

. sworn in after the manner of his Democratic
colleague. _ ‘ _

T. E. Doolittle, Esq., of New Haven, was
yesterday, on motion of Representative
Kellogg, admitted to practice before the .U.
S. Supreme Court. He and C. R. Ingersoll,
Esq.,havé‘.a case which will come up for
trial in February. John E. Earl, Esq., of
the New Haven Patent Agency, accom-
panies Mr. Doolittle here.

1, Lieut. Gov. Yale, of Minnesota, took
., Washington in on his return tiom Norwalk.
' and remained over two days, being occupied
. in the adjustment of some business matters

appertaining to the people of his state.

 

 

 

Geo.:Wm. Curtis, the graceful writer and ,

orator,-i's-atill here engaged upon his Civil
Service Commission duties; He last week
delivered a lecture before the Y. M. C. A.
which .was pronounced by old lecture goers
‘ to be in force, beauty of diction, and charm
of utterance, ahead of anything they had
ever heard from the lecture platform. He
assuresus that Gen. Grant is thorough]
. committed to civil service reform.

The Women’s Suffrage Convention of last
week met a fitting ‘response in a petition
signed by several thOusands of the foremost

'« Christians and literary women of America,
praying that the duties and respectabilities
ofsufi‘rage be not imposed upon them; and
which was présented to Congress by Senator
Buckingham.

At the treasury a special force, headed by '
Chief Clerk Saville, is thoroughly over-
hauling every branch of that department.
The cash vaults are all. opened and every
dollarin bills and fractional currency is to
be counted. Asan indication of the magni-
tude or this undertaking, it may be stated,
that it would require over one thousand.
days' work if limited to one person to per-
form. A large force however is at work

' night and day for the speedicst possible com-

pletion. Thus far no further dethlcations
have been discovered, and about. eleven
thousand dollars of the amount stolen by.
Cashier Johnson has been recovered from
his broker.

. The universal gratification expressed over
the resignation of Attorney General Acker:
man, seems equalled only by the delight
evinced by the appointment of Ex-Senator
Williams, of Oregon. The latter was deemed
one of the ablest lawyers in- the Senate,
while the former, it is claimed, was totally
deficient in both legal- knowledge and mac

‘ tice. It is stated as one of the causes leading

“to his resignation, that a judge of the Sn-
preme Court felt compelled to inform the
president that his Attorney General could
not present a case before that court for the
government respectably. Like other not
over informed men, particularly of southern
origin, Mr. Ackerman was stubbornly tena-
cious of the opinions he did chance to form.
The following biographical brevities con-
cerning Attorney General Williams are cull
ed flom Ben. Parley Poor’s Congressional
record :--George H. Williams was born in'
Columbia county, New York, March 23,
1828; received an academic education;
studied law, and removing to Iowa com;
mcnced practice there; was judge of the
first judicial district of Iowa Born 1847 to
1852 ; was a presidential elector from Iowa'
in 1852; was appointed chief justice of the
Territory ot Oregon in 1854, and was re-ap-
pointed in 1857, but resigned ; was elected a
member of the convention which flamed the .
constitution of Oregon in 1858 ; was elected

’to the United States Senate as‘a Union Re-
publican to succeed B. F. Harding, Union
Republican, and took liis seat in 1805. His
term of service as Senaton expired March 3,
1871. ’

Our readers will be glad to learn' that the
latest advices from Ohio, render it‘morally
certain that Senator Sherman will be re-
turned by a handsdnré'msjprity. _

The same gratifying intelligence comes
from Iowa, where Senator Harlan’s re-elec:
tion is contested by lMessrs. Allison and
Wilson. If the people of the country could
leern‘wisdom from, Massachusetts, which ,
has always made her' influenee potential in
Congress by sending herrablest men, and

. then keepingthem here, many of the bitter

. strifesbefore our“ legislatures on the Sena-
toriill questions would beayjerted.

desirous of dropping the latter part of their
name. This is opposed by the old office as
a taking away of their name, which is sim-
ply Darien. The former office claims that
great confusion and consequent delay in the
transmission and delivery of mailnla'tter are
caused by their similarity. , The old ofilce,
while admitting this, object to having their
name taken tiom them, and insist that the
movers in the matter at the depot office
should select some new and distinctive cog-
nomen tree fkom these objections. Answer
is made that the railroad station at which
all mails for the old office are received and
delivered is established and known as Noro-
rim, and therefore there is a special pro-
priety that the old ofiic’e should be denomi-
nated Noroton. Senator Ferry has been im-
portuued by friends on both sides to inter-
fere and decide the conflict. This he has
declined to do. The case is before the Post-
master General, and all the facts are in his
possession, who will be left to an unbiased
settlement of the difficulty. B.

- Railroad meeting.

At the meeting held in this place on Fri-
day last a committee was appointed to
canvass forsubscriptions to the capital'stock
of a Railroad company to be formed by the
subscribers, the object being to construct a
Railroad from Derby to the State line at
Port Chester. Prominent gentlemen living
in the various towns on‘ the line of the pro-
posed rOad were appointed on said com-
mittee. Another meeting is to be held next
month.

 

ANNUA‘. TOWN MEETING.
The annual meeting for .hearing reports,
&c., was held yesterday afternoon. ‘ The
Sclectmen’s report was read, accepted, and
ordered pl'inted, in thé’ GazErrI-l, together
with the rqiort of the Town Auditors. It is
along document,but by making a special
effort we are enabled to lay it befOre our
readers to-day. We are sure‘ they will
award us all due credit for enterprise. The
report of the 'School' Fund Treasurer was
accepted and ordered on file, and the report
of the treasurer of Town Deposit Fund was
ordered recorded. Rev. Mr. Dunning, one
ot the Acting Visitors, read the report of the
School Visitors, which we shall publish in
our next. The following votes were passed =

Filled, That a tax of ten mills on the dol-
'lar be Laid on list of 1871 for the state, town,
hi hway and school taxes, for current year.
oted, That the sum of six thousand dol-
lars be appropriated from the town treasury,
for the repairs of highways in the town for
the current year. ..
(Voted, That the sum‘of twenty thousand
dollarsbeappropriated from the town treas-
ury fdnthe support of schools for the current
year; ‘

Resolved, That the Board of School Vis-
itors be requested to take into consideration
the expediency of taking measures for the
establishment of a High School, and report
'at a subsequent meeting; and that Mr. E.
W. Stuart be requested to act with the Board
in considering the matter.

The Committee appointed to define the
boundaries between thflfenter and North
West Districts reported, and a vote was
passed defining the boundaries in . accord-
ance withsaid report.

 

Water was let into the pipes, from the up-
per Reservoir, las‘t week,aud worked slowl'y
down till it nearly reached the Distributing
Reservoir, when one of the gates at a “blow
off " just above Charles Kellogg’s,in the new
gravel roadway embankment, opened and.
discharged the watef, Sunday’ morning_
This was repaired. but on Monday the same
thing occurred at another gate at the same

ter will probably be discharging into the
Reservoir today. The place where these
accidents occurred is where the greatest

' pressure occurs on- the line, and is also the

weakest spot on the line, the surrounding
earth being only a loose gravel embankment.

LATER—AS we go to press we’learn that
the water is now discharging into thetRes-
ervoir.

What Woman Can Do. .
We learn that Miss S. E. Strickland, who
has been winning golden opinions from the'
press in the vicinity of New York, as a leo-
turer, is in Norwalk, and will make ar-
rangements to speak in this place and vi-
cinity. Her theme is ".What Woman can
.do.” We clip the following from an ex-
tended report‘of this lecture published in
the Newark Register, of Dec. 0th:—

“Miss Strickland’s lecture last night was

one of the finest efforts upon the ‘ Woman

Question,’ that has been made for many a *
day. It was full of plain, practical truths

eloquently told—almost in language Ofin-_

spiration. Nospecial allusion was made to‘

the so-called radical doctrines of the ultra

woman sufl‘ragists; but,the whole lecture

was dignified, high-toned, a'hd abounded

with good common sense."

Boss Tweed was arrested Friday on a
criminal charge, and taken before Judge
Redford, Saturday. He was finally released
on 25:000 bail by Judge Barnard. It is 're¢
ported that indictments are also out for the
arrest of Garvey and Woodward,on crimin-
al charges,and that Woodward’s place of
concealment is known. The Tales says
that the arrest of Tweed was made on infor-
mation furnished by Mr. ,Keyser, and the
Sun says on, information furnished by Mrs ,
Garvey. , ’ . . ' _-

The Pioneer “Complimentary Sociable”
comes 011' Wednesday evening, and will be
largely‘attended. Avery enjoyable enter-
tainment is anticipated.
graved invitations and tickets are fully equal,
to those forme isuedby the'f‘Americua
Club,". and are universally admired. '
