Were sent to their aid. For years past there
has. been constant CJIilSlOu between the In.
dians and the settlers and soldiers, with no
prOSpect of improvement, unless some un-
derstanding could he obtained, until the In-
dians are exterininated. It would be along
and expensive job to exterminate them,to say
nothing of the inhumanity of the thing. in
this extremity President Grant found affairs

decided that the Apar. he must b0 placed on
reservations, as all other tribes had been,

there to establish agencies, select reserva-

friendly upon these reservations, and at the
same time to warn all Indians who failed to
go upon these reservations that they would
be regarded as hostile Indians, and would
be so treated by the settlers and soldiers.
He went and followed out his instructions,
and hastened to report What he found and
what he did. It is greatly to the credit of
the government that the President has had
the firmness and wisdom to go forward in
the exectition of this policy in the face of
the storm of abuse which it has raised
among the opposers of his administration,
and among those who have been misled by
the artful use made of the Apache question.
’ by the press of Arizona to bring odiuin upon
the Administration
Brave and fearless President, the country
will yet applaud his Indian policy as'heart-
ily as they have applauded his measure- of
retrenchment and reform. But we shall be
obliged to dismiss this subject for the pres-
ent by appending the following telegram
from Washington, timed Nov. 8th, from
which it will be seen that “the whole busi-
ness, as left by Mr. Colyer,continurs," the
President endorsing the recommendation,
etc. .—- '
The Secretar of the II‘iCIIQl' to-day wrote
a letter to the resident, endorsing commu-
nications from the Secretary of the Beard of
Indian Commissioners, containing a descrip-
tion of the Apache Indian Reservations, re-
centl selected by him, under iiie orders of
the resident, during his recent trip to Ari-
zona. The Secretary recommends that the
Apachcs receive full protection of the Gov-
eminent so long as they shall remain at
peace on these Reservations, and that they
be fed, clothed, and otherwise cared for, and
that all Apaches outside of the Reservations,
. who refuse after a reasonable time to come
in, be treated as enemies, pursued and pun-
ished by the military of the department.
The whole business, as left by Mr. Colyer,
‘continues in the hands of Generals Scofield,
Cook and other officers of the Division of
the Pacific. The President endorsed the
recpmmendation, and transferred it to the
Secretary of War for execution.

i THE TEMPERANCE T1011 ET.
Elsewhere will be found the ticket recent-
ly put in nomination for state officersby
the Temperance party. 'l‘licir candidate
I for Governor, Hon. Francis Gillette, is a
gentLeman above every kind of reproach.
For :iught we know the same, may be said
ofthe rest of the ticket. Nor do we doubt
the sincerity of those who have, in view of
the fearful prevalence of ' intemperaucc, met-
and put this ticket in the field, and yet it is
with a. feeling of sincere rcgrr-l that we find
old friends who have fought through With
us many practical temperance campaigns,
thus iniperiling, as it seems to us, the good
cause they seek to subserve. We would
deny to no man entire libertvof opinion
and netion,and this body of Temperance
men have the same right to meet and nomi-
nule and then vote for candidates, that either
of the two great parties of the state are
wont to exercise. But we,‘who were the
first ofall the. political journals of the state
to come out boldly in advocacy of the
Maine Law, feel that we have the right, in
a spirit of kindness and fairness, to question
the wisdom of the present movement. We
may misjudge, but we cin: see nothing but
positive injury as likely io result to the
Temperance cause by. this action. It is not
expected, as we understand it, that this
ticket will be elected by those who
,haveput it in thefield.’ Neither can itbe
claimed that it will receive any considerable
aid from those allied to and voting the Dem-
ocratic ticket. It is not to that partywe
look for aid to temperance movements. If
supported at all, its chief strength is to be
derived from such as would vote the Repub~
~lican ticket, were not this one in the field.
These being the facts,what is the inevita-
ble result of this movement ? Can we doubt
that it musflouly aid in the election of the
candidates of that party just routed from
power for its rceking corruptions in New
York, and of which one of its chief lights
has affirmed that “grogshops must be en-
couraged as they are the nurseries of the
party ‘8” Would it not, insteqd of contribu-
ting to such a result, be wiser and better to
an effectual execution of the temperance
laws already upon our statute books, and
now a dead letter in every community? Of
. this law the newly inaugurated Governor of
Massachusetts said in his opening message :
“I have no hesitancy in saying that, in my
judgment, the prohibitory law, repealed
four years ago, was the best and most effec-
tive we have ever had for the suppression of
theliqnor traffic. I would "like to see it re-
stored in all its power and integrity to our
statute books, and rigidly enforced over
every foot of soil in the commonwealth."
OUR. SAVINGS BANKS.
If other evidences were wanting to attest
the remarkable growth and prosperity of
Norwalk, the financial condition of our
Savings Banks would afford proof the
most incontestiblc. Notably so in the case
of the Norwalk Savings Society, whose iii-
crease of deposits the last year has been
over 30 per cent. On the first; day of this
year the total deposits had reached the
enormous stun of $1,505,014.74! An increase
for the year of $348,765.62. There were
1,100 new accounts Opened during the year,
making the total number of depositors at
this time some 3,900. Another peculiar
feature of this remarkable growth,is the fact
that this increased accumulatioii of deposits
has occurred mainly during the last half
ofthe year, at a time when labor and busi-
ness were suffering unusual depressions.
Seven per cent has been paid depositors the
past year, and over $8,000 added to its sur-
plus.

tel. It is an historical fact that while they
were boys, lie and Mr. Barker, then students
at the Georgetown College, went to the
White House when lVashington was cap-
tured in 1814, and ,at the request of Mrs.
Madison they removed the portrait of Wash-
ington from the East Radar and conveyed it'
to a place of safety. The following extract
from a letter addressed to Mr. De Peyster,
by a son of Mr.‘ Barker, giving an account of
the aged banker’s last hours, will be read

yet we derive consolation from your warm
condolence in our loss, being well aware
that you were his firm friend during life.
His last hours were peaceful, and he seemed
to part with life like a tired child who drops '

He was born in the old homestead
adjoining the present residence, August 23d,
1801. His father, David Lockwuod, was
also born in this same edifice which was
erected by his (David’s) grandfather. At
the age of 12 he went to Brookfield to live
with a Mr..Becrs,witli whom be commenced
his trade, that of a tailor. With Mr. Beers
he went to New York, and completed his
trade with a Mr‘Lord, after which the two
formed a partnership, but it was soon dis
solved, and in 1829 he returned here to his
native town and commenced the business of
merchant tailor, which he continued down
to a few years since, when, in consequence
of advancing age and failing health, he re.-
linquished it to his son, Chas. S. Lockwood.
At the age of 21 be united with a Free
Church in New York, and was soon made
an Elder therein. On his return here be
united with the 1st Congregational church,
and was almost immediately elected Deacon.
He has always been actively connected as
superintendent or teacher with its Sabbath
school, until quite recently, he had to forgo
further duty on account of ill-health. As
an officer of the church he was tenderly
beloved by its poor and its afflicted, and
recognized as a “friend in need.” His tender
christian counsels were always accompanied
by open-handed charity whenever and
wherever assistance was needed. As a man
of business he was ever known as a perfectly
honest man. His word and his entire un-
selfishness could always be depended upon,
an.d were “without the shadow of variable"
ncss." Emphatically may it be said that he.
daily lived the christian doctrines be pro-
fessed. Full of years, of manly worth and

tertaining other than reverence and love
for his memory, 110, on Saturday morning

Death of Joe. Fisk, Jr.
The tragicul death of the above noted
personage on Saturday last, has sent a thrill
of excitement throughout the land. Shot
down by his rival for the affections of a
harlot, what shall we, what can we, with
every desire'to 'speak well of the dead, say
else than that “he died as the fool dicth.”
W A somewhat serious and everyway
to be regretted encounter occurred at So.
Norwalk on Friday last, between Capt.
Oscar St. John, his father, Cook St. John,
and Mr. John S. Conklin, all reputable citi-
zens. It seems that Capt. St. John in coming
into the bother with his sebooner,a few days
since had some angry words with MnConklin
who was, St. John claims, needlessly in the
way in the narrow channel. This difficulty
was renewé‘d again on Friday on the lower
bridge. Capt. St. John and his father were

Capt. when his father came to bisassistance

in such a manner that a blow from the
Captain’s ‘boot struck C. in the abdomen.

WM any of our citizens have felt a
doubt as to the wisdom and necessity of
substituting flagging and concrete for our
aforetime gravel side walks, about the Bor-
ough, we imagine their theory hasbeen
pretty effectually exploded by the experi-
ences of last week. Probably the very best
gravel walk in town is that in front of the
residence of Wm. K. James, Esq., and yet
that was over shoe in mud, nearly all the
week, while in Main St., Wall St. and West
Avenue spots of old gravel walks were
almost impassable. -

is offered release upon paying the city treas-

fine and nine dollars costs, which Jim thinks
discouraging to his first attempt at church

The prospect of a good ice harvest is
growing thin. Messrs. R. Ells & Son work'cd
energetically in December and. succeeded in
securing abput one thousand tons, of excel-
lent quality, but have not succeeded in ' put-
ting in afull supply. Other dealers have
been somewhat less fortunate, but are doing
their best and closely watch their opportu-
nities. In order to secure a good harvest.
about four weeks of stiff and steady cold
weather is necessary—two weeks for the ice
to freeze to the proper thickness, and two
moge in which to gather in the crop.

ing the year 1871: adult 2; infant 9.
The numberof ofiicers,teachers and schol-
ars enrolled in the Sabbath-school during
the year is 377. The benevolent contribu-
tions during 1871, amount to $3,229.90. In-
cluded in this amount are the contributions
Benevolent Association,
amounting to $667.86; the contributions of
the Zenana Mission Band, $300; and the
contributions of the Sabbath-school, $627.55.
None of these include any sums raised for
home expenses. All was expended for pure-

clause in the law which justifies our Select-

evening, notwithstanding their protest
against the same. If there is a crowd of
men who must be annualy fed at the expense
of the town, let it be done in the proper way

It is an old-time custom which most of
the oflicers of the Town now think would
be “more honored in the breach than in the
observance,” but still for the very reason
that it has so long been a custom, there is
some delicacy among certain officials to
break it up-rthey want it done but dont like
to assume the responsibility of doing it.
Last year it was paid for by Subscription of
those partaking, and we presume will be
this year. We suggest that the officers sum-
moned to fill the jury box, &c., be paid a
regular fee, each year, for said duty, 'and
then there can be no possible excuse for the
continuance of the custom. -

Mn. Twnnn’s Function—It used to be. said
a year ago that Mr.William M. Tweed owned
the Legislature of the State of New York.
He could carry any bill he chose to carry,
and there is a story to the effect, that when
he wanted to amuse'himself by exhibiting
his power he used to go into the- lobby and
send back word to Senator So-and-so to vote
this way or that,just as the whim took him.
~Well, that is all over now. Mr. Tweed is a.
Senator, but he has not yet found courage to
show himself at Albany. The legislators
who were once his slaves are deliberating
how they can slam the door of the capitol
in his face, and making hideous little jokes
about putting him on the Committee on State
Prisons.

But Mr. Tweed ought still to have a great
many friends. It is only a few month since
that celebrated wedding took place at his
house, when all the adherents of the famil
rushed forward with their testimonials. t
will do no harm to look over the list again,
and see who the particular friends of the
Tweed family really were. _;
