But or- " ganization and effort are, as ever, pro-requi- sites of triumph. “ Eternal vigilance is the mills of liberty." But that vigilance will « not be wanting, and Connecticut will open the ball for a Presidential victory in No- . vember, by the triumphant election of her candidates in April. j o nnuonnn 'nmnn. WASinNOTON, JAN. 27TH, 1872. an anA'rx Arron'rromsr ms. The apportionment bill under the census. of 1870 of representatives in Congress from States now in the Union, passed by the House, December 14th, 1871, was reported by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Mon- day, considerably modified. The bill, as it passed the House, provides that from and after March 3d,1873. the. House of Repre- sentatives shall be composed of 283 mem- bers, to be apportioned‘among the states, in stead of 243, as at present. The Senate Judiciary Committee propose that the total number of Representatives shall remain 243 until other states shall be admitted. By this plan the following states will lose represen- tatives :—-Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Kentucky, 1 each ; New York, 3 ; Pennsylvania, 2,- and Ohio, 2—total loss, 14. ‘ The states gaining representatives are as follows :—New Jersey, Georgia, Michi- gan, Texas, Wisconsin, California, Minneso- ta and Kansas, 1 each; Illinois, Missouri and Iowa, 2 each—total gain, 14. The rep- resentation in all the other states, Maryland included, is to remain as at present. By the proposed House ' apportionment, that body, iLwill be seen, would gain 40 members. By the Senate scheme it remains unchanged. , The basis of representation under the Senate bill is one in every 156,845 of representative population ; under the House bill it is one in every 134,676. The other changes in the Senate bill are .as follows: ’The first election to be held under the new apportionment on the Tues- day after the first Monday in November, 1872, instead of 1876, as fixed by the House bill, for members Of the Forty-third instead of the Forty-fifth Congress. That in any state in which by law the polls are held open more than one day for the election of state ofiicers, the polls for the election of members Of Congress in such state in A. 'D. 1872, shall be held open for the same length oftime, beginning the day above specified in this section. . . The Senate bill seems to meet with most favor, as it is evident that within a very short period from three to five new states Will be added to the Union, and our lower House become uncomfortably large. The feature requiring a uniform (lay of election of Congressmen throughout the Union, will be almostuniversally approved. On Presi- dential election years the vote for members of Congress will be cast with those for Pres- ident.‘ Most of the time of the Senate for the week has been occupied in a discussion of the amnesty, and Mr. Sumner’s Civil Rights Bill. The adjournment and Chicago relief questions serving as‘a passing ripple to the general debate. ' oun HARBOR BILL. _A bill appropriating not to exceed $40,000 for the improvement of Norwalk Harbor, has been prepared and was introduced into the House by Representative Starkweather for reference to the Committee on Appropri- ations. Senator Ferry will appear before that Committee, with Gen. Warren’s officinl report in its favor, and a vast amount 01 documentary evidence. Hon. Win. 0. Street has forwarded Senator Ferry some additional and highly interesting and im' portant statistics from Litchfield county, which 'will, the coming spring, by way of the Shepaug Valley connection with the Danbury road, draw directly from Norwalk harbor' for its supplies of heavy and cum- bersome freight, such as flour, feed, coal, lumber, &c. All especial interest is now awakened ‘u this long needed improve- ment, and a kindly feeling is here expressed in its behalf. The expenditure of over thirty thousand dollars by the Government, in our midst, cannot fail to be of the great- est advantage to our home laborers, boat- men and mechanical workmen, and the entire business interests of Norwalk must be benefittcd, in addition to the special blessings sure to more to every inhabitant, by a reduction of freights consequent upon such a deepening of the channel as that most vessels can gO in and out of cur Harbor at any stage Of the tides. THE WOMAN surmAaisTs. Mrs. Hooker, of Hartford, and her com- mittee of co-laborers in the field of woman- sufl‘ragc, have deserted the cold, and as they think him. really unsusceptible and ungal: lant Trumbull, and have now seized upon ~Gen. Butler as the ajax of their reform. The General presented their petition, signed by over 33,000 women, to the House, and pledged himself to aid them to the utmost‘ of his ability in winning a triumph for their cause. - ‘ In the Senate Mr. Carpenter, from the Judiciary Committee, made a report upon the petition of Susan B. Anthony and others, claiming the right of women to vote under the 14th and 15th amendments to the Con- stitution. The committee unanimously re- port that said amendments do not confer the . right of sufl‘ra‘ge on females, the power of the states to exclude women from voting being untouched by those amendments, and indeed recognized by the 15th amend- ment. THE NEW ORLEANS SPECIAL common. The special House committee, of which Mr. Scofield is chairman, to proceed to New Orleans and investigate the lfigislative im- broglio, left Wednesday for that city, after having an interview with the Presi- dent. ' Tm: ‘11:me STONE. Every day brings to light Some new beauty or wonder in the grand Rocky Moun- tain region of this country. Now comes a description of Henry Lake, Montana, five thousand feet above the sea level, from which flow some of the greatest rivers of the Mississippi basin and the Pacific slope. The curiosity of this little body of water is that rivers rise in it and 'flow in exactly op- posite'directions. Among them the YelIOW- stone flows east, empties into the Miss'éuri; and finally pays tribute with its waters to the Gulf‘of Mexico, while the Snake river finds its way, through the Columbia into the Pacific. ' Senator Pomeroy, yesterday, introduced a resolutiOn setting apart the entire Yellow- Stone Valley as a National park or domain, for the delight of the naturalists and excur- sionists of all ages. It is from forty to sixty miles ‘sOnth of the proposed line of the Northern Pacific Railroad. It is about 45 miles long‘by'40w1de, and is claimed by. Government explorersvto surpass even the famed Yosemite, in wonderful grandeur and from “squatter sovereignty.” There is not on the known globe anything to match or. compare with its awfully sublime and even terrible geysers. Lieut. Doane, in his re- port to the Secretary of War, thus describes the wonderful features of one portion of the valley and the locality of its chief geyser :— Oppositc camp, on the otherside of the river, is a high ledge of stalagmite, sloping from the base of the mountain down to the river; numerous small knolls are scattered over its surface. The craters of balling springs from 15 to 25 feet in diameter; some of these throw water to the height of 3 and 4feet. In the summit of this bank of rock is the grand geyser of the world, a well in the strata 20 by 25 feet in diametrie meas- urements, the perceptible elevation of the rim being but a few inches, and when quiet having a visible depth of 100 feet. The edge of the basin is bounded by_a heavy fringe of rock, and stalagmite in solid layers is deposited by the overflowmg waters. When an _eruption is about to occur the basin graduallyfills with boiling water to within a few feet of the surface, then sud- denly, with heavy concussions, immense clouds of steam rise to the height of 500 feet. The whole great body of water, 20 by 25 feet, ascends in one gigantic column to the height of 90 feet, and from its apex 5 great jets shoot up, radiating slightly from each other, to the unparalleled altitude of 250 feet from the ground. The earth trembles under the descending deluge from this vast fountain; a thousand hissing sounds are heard in the air; rainbows encircle the summits of the jets with a halo Of celestial glory The falling water plows up and nears away the Shelly strata, a seething flood pours down the slope and into the river. It is 'hc grandest, the most majestic, ind most terrible fountain in the world. After playing thus for twenty minutes it gradually subsides, the water lowering into the crater out of sight, the steam ceases to escape, and all is quiet. This grand geyser played three times in the afternoon, but ap- pears to be irregular in its periods, as we did not see it in eruption again while in the valley. Its waters are Of adeep ultrama- i'ine color, clear and beautiful. The waving l0 and fro of the gigantic fountain, when the jets are at their highest, and ina bright sun- light, affords a spectacle of wonder of which .my description can give but a feeble idea. Our whole party were wild with enthu- siasm; many declared it was 300 feet in height; but I have kept, in the figures as set down above, within the limits of abso- lute certainty. Wc were led to believe by indications On the rocks that some of gtiese geyscrs do occasionally play to an altitude of 500 feet, but this we did not see. Above. on the slope of the mountain, is another great geyser which has lately broken out. it has deadened the timber on a wide space, ~ind for half a mile between its ‘crater and the river. It must run a perfect torrent of water at its periods of eruption. I have now described seven of the largest geysers seen in the Firehole Basin, and the description falls far short of the reality. To do justice to the subject would requirea volume. The geysers of Iceland sink to in- significance beside them ; they are above the reach of comparison. We could not dis- tinguish, on every occasion, the geysers from the other hot springs, except by seeing them play, and doubtless there are many bestdcs in the valley of great size, which we saw when quiet, and classed as boiling springs. They all vary in times, force, deposits and colors of water. Thenumber of springs of" all kinds in the valley is not less than fifteen hundred; and, with the exception of the Bluestonc Springs, scarcely any ltwo are exactly alike. Taken as an aggregate, the Firehole Basin surpasses all other great wonders of the continent. It produces an effect on the mind of the beholder utterly staggering and overpowering. - COMMISSIONER on PATENTS. Commissioner M. D. Leggett yesterday sent his annual report for the year 1871, to ,the Senate and House of Representatives. The old—style Patent Ofllce report has been discontinued, and in its stead the office is now publishing a weekly official gazette. The number of applications for patents last year was 19,742; patents issued, 13,033; caveats filled. 3,366 ; patents expired, 2,634. 0f patents issued all but 522 went to citizens of the United States. Connecticut still keeps the lead, there being a larger number of patents issued to us in proportion to popu- dation, than any other state. The District of Columbia comes next,Massachusetts next. Wm. C. Dodge, Esq., known to many of our readers as a most capapble and honor- able patent , ngouLJiexe, in. an. application. for a patent water wheel, which is nothing more or less than a valve, and is Operated by a rubber hose. It is useful for turning a sewing machine, coffee mill, hash machine, or even as a matter of ornament. For small power it is probably fanin advance of any known motor. Its entire cost is but $5 and can be used in the kitchen. parlor or wherever there is water in the house. It- attracts a vast deal of interest here. A sew- ing machine and coffee mill are now run- ning in the windows of their respective stores, and crowds daily surround them. A church organ here is also blown by one. They are about the size of a large syringe, with a half . inch rubber. hose attached, and is the simplest and most interesting in- vention in mechanics we ever saw. THE VICE PRESIDENCY. The indications are that Mr. Colfax will have a rather formidable competitor for the Vice Presidency. Senator Wilson is loom- ing up, and it is claimed by his friends that he will have nearly the solid New England" vote, with that Of Delaware and Pennsylva- nia. This does not grow out of any feeling aver, but on account of the “great west" having more thanaher “equilibrium” share, in the higher offices of the government (the President, English and French Missions, &c.),‘fmd notably because of Mr. Colfiix’s peremptory declaration not to be meandi- date. PERSONALS. _ Senator Ferry's friends will be glad to know that he is gaining in health surely and steadily, and his ultimate recovery seems reasonably assured. T. S. Vanderhocf and bride, spent several days at the Capitol and then proceeded on t eir wedding tour South. Col. Vincent Colyer’s resignation as Sec- retary, does not sever his c0nnectiou as a ers. He also remains a member of the Ex- ecutive Committee. A successor has not yet been found willing to brave the scalp- ing of the Indians on the one hand, and their to bim,more savage white brethren on the other. _ Hon. W. H. Barnum has returned to Con,- neclicut. Gov. Buckingham is still detained with his committee in New York. The Howe Sewmg Machine Co., of Bridge port, oppose the further extension of the Wilson feed attachment. The city papers are rejoicing in the dis. covery that Col. Allan Tenny, Clerk of the Committee on the District of Columbia, and law partner of Representative Starkweafher, at Norwich, was formerly Secretary of the State of New Hampshire. on, no i‘ U. S. Attorney Bates, from Utah, is here urging an immediate appropriation of money to carry on the prosecutions against the Mormons for polygamy, claiming that no further progress can be made towards punishing them unless more money is sup- plied to pay the court expenses. It seems to be the impression among our most dis- cerning, that love of “legal fees” has been quite as potent in the recent trials, as hatred of polygamy. v OUR OCEAN MAIL snnvrcn. A lively contest is going on before the Commerce Committee for carrying the European mails,.bctwcen the Cunard and Williams and Guiou’s lines. The Cunarders claim their ’vcssels to be the swificst. Mr. Williams, (who is here with Abram Wake- man) claims his steamers to be the staunch- est and safest of any afloat, and brings evi- dence from the New York Post Office that for the past few months they have made the quickest passages. They assured the com- mittee that they now have near completion two vessels equal to anything afloat as to speed, one of which willgbe launched in April After the hearing, the Committees in a brief deliberation unanimdusly decided in favor of recommending to the Postmaster- of personal opposition to Mr. Colfax they , member of the board of Indian, Commission- _ without notice previously given, refused to carry our mails without increased compen~ sation. ‘ . ‘fwrm. IT PAY i" _ Gough has been here and given his new lecture entitled as above, and his Old one “Oratory and Orators.” The, tighest jam ever experienced at Lincoln Hall honored his first lecture, which is certainly ahead 'of any we have saver heard from him. He told us he'should give this lecture in Norwalk, and it is not too early to stimulate an appe- tite for its unequaled excellence. Our people will miss a rare treat if they fail to hear this lecture. Mrs. Dr. Pardee is booked here for next season’s course. DAnmN POST OFFICE. They aver at the Post Ofllce Department that the changes ordered at Darien were made strictly and entirely upon the report of Special Agent Camp, who was sent on to the ground for a personal inspection and gleuning of all the facts. NO person, other than he has influenced the Postmaster-Gen- eral in his decision, which was to give the name of Noroton to the lower office and Darien to the upper. The Department will cheerfully accord our friends at. the old ofiice a respectful hearing in the matter of calling it West Darien, and will also order their mails to be hereafter dropped from the ,cars at Norpton station, if they so desire it, instead of being left at Durien depot as now. We sincerely trust some mutually satisfac- tory adjustment of this perplexing difference may thus eventuate. The re-nomination of our state ticket, delegates, platform and all, cause universal gratification here. ’ B. ——_ The Parallel Road. The adjourned meeting in behalf of this project was quite largely attended in this place on Thursday last, and the prevailing opinion seemed to be that the road should be carried through. . The committees on subscription being called upon reported from Greenwich, Darien, WestpOi-t and- Trumbull no sub- scriptions, although great interest was man- ifested in the several places in'the road, and each place would probably subscribe, but at present, instead of taking hold and help- ing to locate, they were waiting to see which of the proposed lines surveyed would be adopted by the management, when a suf- ficient amount had been subscribed to organ- ize. From Stamford, New Canaan, South- port, Fairfield, Ansonia, Derby and New Haven there were no reports. 'Norwalk re- ported 8200,000 bona-fide subscriptions with apledgc of $100,000 more ; Wilton would raise $6,000 or $8,000 ; Bridgeport bad, though only one person had been to work there, raised 315.600, and would shortly make it $25,000 ; Birmingham reported $33,000 with a promise to make it $50,000; Huntington reported $9,000; Judge Wright, of New York, subscribed $10,000. There being more than enough bona-fide subscriptions than is required by the general railroad law to effect an organization it was proposed to organize immediately, but the requisite papers not having been prepared, it was voted to misc a committee of five to prepare such papers and report at a stock- holders meeting to be held here on Feb. 8th, at 11 o’clock, a. m. S. E. Olmstead, of Nor~ walk, E. N. Shelton, of Birmingham, Win, C.” Street, of Norwalk, D. M. Marvin, Of Westport, and F. St. John Lockwood, of Norwalk, were appointed said committee. The committees on subscriptions were continued. Remarks were made by Judge Wright, of New York, A. S. Winton, of Bridgeport, D. W. Piumb,of Huntington, Gen. W. N. Noble, of Bridgeport, Seaman Mead, of‘ Greenwich, F. St. John Lockwood and others, and all seemed sanguine of success. ‘ * ’ nri . ~-ne§flfitbpdgf»é%ii%eg¥aia*%‘dl ‘ Mr. Ferr is a formidable antagonist, even for Joe awley. He is an able, t'aithtul, trustworthy man; he has the nine points of the law in his favor; “ usage” entitles him to, another term ; there are peculiar circum- stances which will seem to make the denial of it in this instance exceptionally harsh; and, lastly, the whole New Haven influence will be thrown for him with all its weight. Which ever wins, Connecticut will have a noble man at Washington to speak for her. We take/this item from he Palladium of the 28th. Other papers have had various articles of a kindred character. We have studiously avoided all reference to this sub- ject, (the statement of the Hartford Post to the contrary notwithstanding.) under the be- lief that the first duty of the Republicans of Connecticut is to go forward and elect their State ticket and legislature, unembarrasscd by the introduction of any strifes for the Seuatorship. When that is accomplished, the question as to who shall be U. S. Sena- tor is in order, and open to full discussion. We know such to be the feeling of Senator Jerry, and do not doubt this is the wish of Gen. Hawley, for in no part of the State has he more ardent friends and admirers than here at the home of Mr. Ferry. -_____—-—— in Con- - A: the annual meeting of the Danbury & NorWalkRailroad Company, held in Dan- bury, on Thursday, the 25th inst, the follow- in g gentlemen were elected Directors :— Edwin Lockwood, Le Grand Lockwood, Wm.

The afternoon train down will leave Danbury at 4.20 stopping at all stations, and the evening train up will leave South Norwalk at 6.18. The express trains will be resumed next Spring. . The Ball of PIONEER HOOK AND LADDER COMPANY, on Wednesday evening, was a fine affair, and well up to their standard of grand. The music was the best they ever had. We regret to learn that, probably owing to the great number ofccmplimentary balls for this season, theeompany did not quite meet expenses. They deserved a rich financial return for the fine entertainment provided. During the evening the Pioneer boys were presented with a handsome silver mounted tl'umpct,—a token of friendship and esteem—from Charles F. Marvin, the worthy foreman of Phalnix Hose Company. 0 W The Democrats had their caucus at the Connecticut Hotel, last night, for the ap- pointment of delegates to their several con- ventions. «CPO—~— 53‘ L.

Grego'ry,of Wilton, represented the Twelth District, John D. Candec, the Tenth District and Henry Perry the Eleventh District. Gen. Pratt moved the appointment of a Committee on Resolu- tions, and Senator Asa B. Woodward was selected as the member from this District. While the committees were Olit, there being no special business on hand,ChairmanParker invitedthc members to “Ventilate.” Gen.

Several Secretaries were ap- pointed to grace the stage with their pres- ence, whize a dozen or more reporters ren- dered any work on their part, entirely unnecessary. President Brandegee made an excellent speech, which was received with applause, but for which we have not room for an abstract. The free expression -of opinion at the caucus the—previous even- ing had made it evident that it was the general desire that the old ticket should be ,renominated, and therefore when it was moved to renominate Vihat ticket by accla- .mation it was done with but one dissenting E. Dunham were, appointed a committee to inform Gov. Jewell of-his renomination and request his acceptance. In due course of time the Governor appeared and was re. ceived with the warmest enthusiasm during which he stepped forward and accepted the nomination, briefly, as follows :— “Your committee'has informed me that I can I a e or overnor, or whic'upease accept my moskhearty and sincere thanks. I-had hoped, after having been placed in that position four times, to have been allow-' ed to retire. A movement is, however, on foot in Washington and all over the country, to reform and make better all the civil de- partments of the government, and it seems to me that no republican, no member of our party, has a right in such a crisis, to decline to perform any duty to which we may be called.

The managers of the “La Variete Sociable” club have issued invitations for a compli- mentary Reception, at Lockwood’s Hall, next Thursday evening. The club is com- posed of young ladies and gentlemen of high standing in our community, and any entertainment given by them to their friends is sure to be of high character, and thor- oughly enjoyable. . The attention of young men desiring to enter upon the study of Law is directed to the advertisement of the Yale Law-School. The Spring Term begins in February. The fees for tuition and use of library, are 890 for the entire year,.and board can be had at from $5 to $8 per’ week.

We invite attention -to an article on our outside, from the New York Herald. We believe it to express the general, average sentiment of the country. It will certainly accord with the judgment of all that large class of moderate men throughout 'the country, who, after'all, are that “balance of power” which makes and unmakes Presi- dents. 0 We learn from the Waterbury Daily American that the residence of Rev. Joseph Anderson, of that city, was crowded by members of his congregation. on Wednes- day cvcning last, in response ,to an invita- tion from the pulpit, the occasion being the usual annual social reunion, and also the thirteenth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Anderson. A number of-the parishioners arranged a “ surpriSe” for their worthy pastor and his wife,‘and varied the usual exercises by the presentation of a sil- ver tea service, a large amount Of green- backs, and other valuable mementoes of friendship and regret. The Hon. Green Kendrick made the presentation in quite a lengthy but very felicitous speech, abound- ing in expressions of the love and esteem in which the Reverend, gentleman and his wife are held by the congregation. Mr. Anderson replied in behalf of himself and wife in his usually happy manner. Af- ter the presentation, refreshments were serv- ed, and the remainder of the evening was passed in conversation and willi‘music-by the choir to the evident enjoyment of all present. - - CW W We have to congratulate our friend, the Senior member of the Law firm Of Treat dz Bullock on an accession.

Sayles, both delegates to the last Convention, were chos- en for the Second and Third Districts, when the Convention adjourned until 2 o’clock. Before the Opening of the afternoon ses- sion, County Caucuses were held to decide upon members of the State Central Com- mittee, and delegates to the National Con- vention. In the Fairfleld County Caucus there-was no lack of candidates for dele- gates, but no very prominent names were presented, and choice was finally made of two promising young men, John Tweedy, of Danbury, for delegate at large, and Israel M. Bullock, of Bridgeport, for delegate from Fuirfield County. J. W. Knowlton, Strat ford, was selected as member of the State Central Committee for the 10th Distlict; D. B. Booth, Danbury, 11th District ; C. D. Belden.Stamford, 12th District. The dele- gates, as finally elected by the Convention, were as follows :— At lave—Joseph R.

Mr. Dunham, Bridgeport, did not like the idea of delegates appointing their. own sub- stitutes and moved to elect by majority vote Ofthe delegation. H. L, Harrison objected and said that the delegates could be trusted to chose . their own alternates, and they would he sure toiselee't men who would vote for Gen.- Grant, (Great. applause.) The mo- tion was finally carried. Senator Asa B. Woodward, of Norwalk, on behalfof the COmmiltee on Resolutions read the following, which were adopted, and the Convention then adjourned :— Tlie republicansof Connecticut in State convention assembled, declare as follows: 1. \We again express our cordial; adhe- rence to the doctrines and principles of the republican party as manifested in our former statements and in the national plat- forms, nnd we reflect with increasing pride upon the wonderfhl work. It, proved that a tree goverment, based on the will and affections of a free people, is the strongest known form of government. It suppresaed a great rebellion, fl'eed millions of laborers, established equal rights, perfected the na- tional constitution, and justified the decla- ration of independence. By its great reduc- tion of the arm and navy, the party proved that it ha‘ neither desire nor expec-- tation of war. Having incurred a great debt for the best reasons a nation ever gave. it resolutely began an immediate reduction of that debt; yet having cut down expen- ses, it has been yearly cutting down taxa- tion. Notwithstanding its marvelous sne- I'ifices of men and money, the nation has steadily grown in wealth and population. 2. During the existjng administration the debt has been reduced nearly $300’000,- 000 ; peaceand order have made great pro- gress in the lately rebellious regions; a new policy towards the Indiana has been adopt- ed marked by firmness, justice and good faith ; the rights of all, especially the- poor and frien dless of whatever race or wherever found, have been scrupulously protected; a self-respecting yet peaceable policy has been pursued toward all the world and our controversy withGreat Britain has been treated in a manner-"greatly creditable to. both nations. 3. That we have undiminisbed confidence iii the patriotism. integrity and ability Of President Grant, and for the great and good work done in the country’s behalf we heart- il thank him and his cabinet and the two cases of Congress. 4. The future must be as honorable as the past. To deserve and keep its lead of the suspended bimlness temporarily. world, the republican party must be free to ’ voice. Gen. Pratt, H. C. Robinson, and J.‘ 'was poweif‘ul and its load light, but though examine and criticise, and utterly without fear, favor or partiality in attacking all of the civi service. For the President's efforts and pl°dgesin this matter we tender him our cordial thanks and therein we pledge him an ' enthusiastic, unwavering support. 5. In national afi‘airs we favor. 1. A larire reduction of taxation. 2. Constant study and labor to bring about a resumption of specie payments, that the evils of a depreciated paper curren cy may be removed, and the best possible measures of value tarnished us. ‘ 3. Retaining a tarifi'sufilcient to raise the needed revenue, we would have it carefully adjusted to favor American industry, lOok- ing rather to interests widel extended than to merely local and limite pursuits. 4. A perfected system of national banks with abundant security, to the bondholder, and inflexible and peremptory laws for prompt redemption. 5. The abolition of the frankiug privilege. 6. The public lands shall no more be granted to corporations, but given in limited quantities to actual settlers. 7. For fifteeu'years the republican party has controlled the legislature of Connecticut. Let the record show whether it is the friend , and promoter ot‘peace, law, order, charity, temperancc,industlriy, education, and a fair field for all men. or that it was created. What it has been it will be—only better. To any measure that on mature delibera- ‘tion promises toaid the interests of temper- ance, education and labor, we will give our warmest support. 8. We unqualifiedly commend the general assembly for its firm execution ofa consti- tutional process in correcting infamous election fraudsl =year. Tothe best of its ability the rcpub n party saw to it that every honest vote and none other was coun. ted once and no lnore. The happy ruin of the Tammany ring encourages us to believe that the work will be easier hereafter. 9. We unqualifiedly approve the adminis- tration of GOVcrnor Jewell and his associ- ates, qf which we give the highest evidence— 11 our power by unanimously recommend- ing them for re-elceticu, and pledging our utmost efforts to that end. 10 While recognizing the fundamental principles which have brought unparalled success to our country, and believing; that only republics should exist on this continent we urge our representatives in Congress to keep before them the great ideas of liberty and freedom which have been so identified with our great party of progress from its birth, and we earnestly desire to extend all sympathy and lid consistent with our ability to other nations and people. struggling to be free. 11. That in addition to the legitimate duties of counsel and citizens in appearing before legislative committees and urging action upon legisl tors, there have grown up corrupt and dangerous practices in the lobby which call for renewed vigilance in legislators and a higher tone of public senti- meat. 12. That it is the duty Ofthe State tO‘ be vigilant in the protection of the rights and interests of the people against the encroach- ments of powerful corporations, and es- pecially in holding railroads strictly to the responsibilities and duties contemplated in their charters. Death or Matthias-nabben. The venerable form, burdened but not bowed down, W‘lll the weight of more than ninety years, so long familiar to our citizens, is at length laid low in death; “the hoary head,” vhich was a “crown of glory” be- cause “found in the way of righteousness,” has disappeared from the sanctuary where it was so conspicuous. It was written aforetime “ Thou shalt rise up before the hoary hand,and honor the face of the old man, and fear thy God." Respect for age is naturally associated with reverence for God; and where His lawbe- comes obsolete in one of these enactments» it will be likely to be disregarded in the oth- er. If our venerable friend had lived to hail the next anniversary of' the “ Father of his Country," he would have completed his ninety-first year. For more than half a cen- tury he has lived in Norwalk, universally respected in all the walks and relations of, life. Since 1838 he has been a consistent member of the First Congregational church. Wee-“WNW“ mse much sooner, he would have been accepted. Few, very few. live to so great age; and of these few only a very small part retain so much vigor of body and mind. Not many months have elapsed since, he walked our streets, quite erect; and almost to the last, his mental faculties were not sq- riously impaired. When,withi_n the last fort. night, he failed to recognize even the‘ni-ar- est friends, who so assiduously watched and waited by his side in the beautiful self-deni- al and devotion of filial love, and all recent facts and scenes had faded from his mind. his memory of the curly and long past was clear, consistent and correct. What an ar- gumént for thc storing of the youthful mind with that whichit will be good to remem- ber. «- Unlversnllst Conference. , The conference of Universalisf‘ ministers, which will meet this week at Military Hall, ’promises to be the occasion of much inter- est to the members of that church in this community. It is to begin on Tuesday ev- ening, at 7 o’clock, with a sermon by Rev. J. Smith Dodge, of Stamford. Three re- ligious services will be held On Wednesday, at half past ten in the morning, and at two and seven O‘clock, p. m., at which Rev. Chas. A. Skinner, of Harttord, and Rev. Olympia Brown, of Bridgeport, will preach. There will be two general conference meetings on Wednesday, in which a general discussion of interesting subjects will take place, and be participated in by all clergymen and lay- men who may desire to speak. The meet- ings will be public and all citizens are invit- ed to attend. The temperance interest in Cranberry Plain has finally resulted in the establisn- meut Of “Washington Lodge,” I. O. G. T.

Mr. Murray is gaining a good reputatiou,by careful acting, and his Rip Van Winkle is especially fine. This com- pany gave excellent satisfaction when they were last here, and will probably draw a full house on this occasion. On Thursday evening, Albert Aiken is to appear at the Opera 'House in his sensation drama of the “Witches of New YOik." This company have performed here before and given good satisfaction to our theatre-goers. This time they will have a larger stage and better scenery than before, and therefore can produce the play to better advantage. We'are requested to state that horse cars will run to South Norwalk at the conclu- sion of the above performances, for the ac- commodation of those who desire to attend from that portion of the town. 0 The Methodist Conference at South N or- walk, last week, was largely attended, five Presiding Elders and some forty or more ministers being present during the session.

At the request of several gentlemen inter- ested inbchali‘ot' the road, While in the leg- islature last spring, when it seemed likelv that a general railroad bill might be passed, I engaged an eminent lawyer to draft such a bill, the gentlemen saying to me that any necessary expense would be cheerfully paid by the friends Ofthe proposed ‘parallel.’ The bill was drawn with great care, and the gen- tleman who drew it advocated it hefore,the railroad committee. who had a number of hearings on the subject, and labored to per- fect the bill. It was greatly due to his as- sistance that a unanimous report of the com- mittee was Obtained. No expense was incurred except the charge of the lawyer referred to. It did not amount to “thousands of dollars,’ nor to one thousand dollars. It was more than one hundred dollars, as it ought to have been. The amount was stated at the Par- allel Railroad meeting. held just after the passage Ofthe law, audit was then agreed to pay the bill. Af‘er the adjournment of the meeting, Thomas H. Morison, Esq . drew up and circulated, as I am told, but without consultation with me, the subscrip- tion paper to which you refer.
