WASHINGTON, Feb. 17th, 1872.
EXCITING SENATORIAL DEBATE.
All excitement and even interest over
England’s spasm at finding the Alabama
dice were honest instead of loaded. have been
smothered by the angry debate precipitated
in the Senate by Mr. Sumner. No one who
knows that Senator can doubt that he has
been made to honestly believe that our na-
tion has been guilty of the greateSi political
blunder, and the gravest breach of interna-
tional obligation in our sales of arms
through American agents, to the French
during the Franco-Prussian war. It would
seem equally plain that any lad who had
acquired the practical information of a three
days’ experience in a country grocery, could
mlly'aeeount for the discrepancy charged
and the transactions themselves upon the
simplest business principles. Congress had
authorized the sale of all useless and con-
demned material of war. Private individu-
als purchased the some. Large .quantities
were sold by these purchasers to Cuba and
South American Republics. The greatest
portions were sent to France. - This fact
THE NEW NAVY YARD.
Gen. Slocum, in the House, has revived
the project of removing the Brooklyn Navy
Yard to New London. It lies in his district
and he claims impedes the growth and com-
mercial development of Brooklyn, and that
its citizens would gladly see it removed.
MARYLAND DEMOCRACY.
The Democratic Representatives of Mary-
land in the House and Senate went up to
Annapolis, headed by Hon. Montgomery
Blair, and held a sort of political inquest.
They resolved upon the “no action” or
“possum” policy as to the Presidential cam-
paign, and adjourned. ' '
" PERSONALS, ETC.
Hon. Truman Smith left for hotne the fore-
part of the week. Jas. Mallory, Jr.,former-
lyof Norwalk, but now of Jersey City, is
here. The New Orleans Special Committee;
have returned but not reported. President
Grant has wisely left the selection of Col.
Forney’s successor to the business men of
Philadelphia. Henry 0. Bowen, of the In;
dependent, had a $1,000 diamond breast-pin
stolen from his bosom while riding in one
of our horse cars. The President’s closing
reception was held on Thursday evening.
Err-Congressman Stokes, of Tennessee, has
and he depended for success wholly on his
own efforts, supported by his native capaci-
ty and manly qualities. He did not seek
notoriety, nor thrust himself forward. He
was modest rather in his demeanor, yet he
had a self-reliance which enabled him to un-
dertake with courage whatever professional
or business responsibilities were offered, and
the manner in which he acquitted himself
commended him to the confidence of his
fellow citizens, which he rapidly acquired
and enjoyed in a high degree. He soon
found himself in a large and lucrative pro-
fessional practice, and received such repeat-
.ed marks of confidence from the business
community, especially in the administration
of large estatesand other similar trusts, as
have been accorded to few persons of his
years and his brief residence among us.
He was chosen, without solicitation or
suggestion on his own part, and by a very
'flattering vote, as one of the representatives
from this town in the last General Assembly.
He was then without extensive-acquaintance
in the State at large, and was characteristi-
cally modest and unobtrusive. In conse-
quence, he did not at first attract particular
notice. As time gave opportunity, however,
for a discovery of his merits and his worth,
the same. It was thought that 15 pair of
very superior cattle could be got from each
and all of the towns adjoining and thereby
increase the show in that line very much.

in the war in which we have been involved.
Mr. President, I have spoken longer and
perhaps more earnestly than I ought to have
done ; but 1 do not want to be misconstrued
in reference to the position which I take re-
garding this amendment, and I am anxious
that Senators should remember that there is
something yet in the functions of the States
which is sacred and which ought to be pre-‘
served sacred, and which is selutely
essential to the perpetuity of fr e institu-
tions on .this continent.
WHAT WE EAT—Dr. Hall has reduced
the science of living down to so fine a thing
that by.following his directions one may
exist for almost nothing, pecuniarily speak-
ing, and at the same time ' gather more
bodily sustenance than by eating expensive
food and owing butchers’ bills. The cheap-
est articles of food at present prices are
bread, butter, molasses, beans and rice. In
the economy of nature three pounds of flour,
at six cents a pound, ,will afi'Ord as much
nourishment as nine pounds of beef at
point of wrong-doing, on the one hand,
while on the other it is. claimed the guns.
might as well have been sent ofi‘ without
barrels as minus the cartridges. Another
local character also figures conspicuously in
this rumpus. The Marquis de Chambrun,
who will be remembered as having Spent
his summers at the Five Mile River House,
is charged with being the French agent,
who has furnished the Massachusetts Sena—
tor with all his data,and indeed inaugurated
the untimely and in every way unfortunate
squabble. Be this as it, may Mr. Sumner
rest of the week, the fire has been fierce and
general alongthe whole line. Mr. Sumner
was not.quite happy in his opening attack.
Senator Schnrz was much more pointed and
artfhl,and his'assaults cannot fail to have
an unfortunate effect upon that great, body
of American citizens of German nativity,
who have hitherto supported the Republi-
can party and Administration. The injury,
however, cannot be lasting, and it is possible

It was a success. At least the valiant Tex—

week, and developed all the symptoms of
small-pox except the eruption. His physi-

been for his vaccination. The Gen. is be-
coming the hcro of narrow escapes. He is

for his absence at the railroad meeting.
B.
Death of Lewis I". Beers. Em.
Our community was sfocked, on Thurs-
day evening‘last, at the tidings of the deeease
of Mr. Beers, at the'early age of thirty-three
years. He had been ill for nearly four weeks,
' yet it was generally understood that he was
slowly recovering, and the sad news of his
death was a painful surprise.
Mr. Beers, during his comparatively short
residence at South Norwalk, had gained in
a remarkable degree the respect and confi-
,He held the ofilce Of City Attorney for
South Norwalk from the incorporation of
the city to his death. . - _
Mr. Beers was not in any sense a brilliant
man. He was not a man of extraordinary
talents. He was, however, something better
than that. In his profession, if not learned,
as. the term is used, he _ was well grounded
in his knovvledge of law, and acquired .day
by day an increased store of legal principles.
Those with whom he came .often in‘ contact
saw in him evidences of constant growth.
He was more of a lawyer arid more of a man
this year than last, more last year than the
year before. He was eminently a 'man of

drains always go together) upon the forces
of the stomach’to be a healthy article of
diet. It is a surprising fact that the turnip
makes such an insignificant showing. It is
almoSt an entire waste of life to give any

correct thing—thirty-eight per cent in an

Silk culturein California, instead of being
a failure, as has been predicted, has been a
grand success. The silk worm flourishes
etter in the foot hills than in valleys.
Culturistsla it down as a rule that where
ever ague a ‘ets the human race the worm
will not flourish, therefore cocooneries
should be placed on high, dry ground out
of the reach of:infected air. It is very im-
portant, say the wise ones, to have good
healthy mulberry leaves upon which the
worm may feed. The best possible eggs
will not insure good worms it the food he
not of cod quality. Proper attention to
these es onthe part of California produc-
ers will one day render that State the great
silk producing district of the world. She
has a greater extent of country upon which
silk worms-can be raised than France has,
and there is no reason why America should
not reap all‘the advantages of this fortunate
gift ofvnature.

and if the proposed investigation shall eith-
er show that this impression is unfounded or'
fected friend, the greater the injury pro-
duced. In this view it is that great forbear-
ance and all proper concession should be
made. Individuals are nothing—the cause,
and the success of its principles everything-
Mflch, too, should be conceded to those Sen-
ators like Morton,Ed.iiunds, Conkling,Har--
lan, Frelinghuysen, and others,who, chafing
under the frequent, and what seems to them
unjust assaults upon Gen. Grant’s adminis-
tration,liave come to be captiously called
his special guardians in the Senate. It is
because in Gen. Grant they recognize the
great head of the Republican Party, and
mutiny in the ranks, more destructive to
that party than to its recognized leader, that
they are sensitive to such attacks. The pat-
riotic outburst of Mr.Frelinghuysen, and the
indignant response of Mr. Harlan, were all
in exemplification of this. That keen and
far-seeing politician, Senator Morton, with
Conkling, and Carpenter, and Sherman, and
Wilson,” seeing no other possible candidate
whereon the party can unite, have been
quick to repel these assaults. .Seuator Ed-
inOuds, whose ideas are as clean cut and in-
cisive as a Damascus blade, interprets every
such'assault as attacks upon the cause, rath-
er than upon Gen. Grant or any mere per-
son. To his sagacious and far-reaching mind
he don’t see how quarrelling among Repub-
lican leaders is going to “organize victory”
for the party, and for the success and honor
of his party he is as jealous and sensitive as
to his own personal good name. It is most
sincerely to be hoped that the angry feelings
now. pervading the Republican side of the
Senate, may be dissipated, and that unity,
strength, power and victory may be as truly
the watchwords of ourleaders here, as sure-
ly as they are of the great masses of the re-
publican workers of the nation.
NEW mirsimin AND—CONNECTICUT.
Great' interest is felt here in the approach-
ing New England elections.‘ The Demo-
crats claim they will carry both States, but
while the contest will undoubtedly be close,
the best 'of information gives assurance of a
certain Republican triumph. Senators Hen-
ry Wilson and Patterson go to New Hamp-
shire at once to enter upon the canvas there.
THE YICE-PRESIDENCY.
Senator Wilson has deemed it best to is-
sue a lecter admitting himself to be a candi~
date for the Vice-Presidency, and stating the
circumstances of Mr. Colfax’s peremptory
withdrawal as the justification. He and the
Vice-President are personally as cordial as
eyer, and their rivalries do not abate their
social intercourse
. ANOTHER UNPLEASANTNESS.
Parson Brownlow made a “personal ex-
planation” on Thursday, “going for" Rep-
resentative Beck, of Kentucky, who had at-
tacked the Senator’s administration as Gov-
ernor of Tennessee. The Parson is strong
on epithets and said the Kentucky Congress-
man Would not have dared once to so lie
about him, for fear of a 'cowhiding. He
charged Beck with having abandoned the
reputable business of hostler to become a
stage driver and slave trader, and ended by
pronouncing his statements “as false ashell."
The rccloubtable Parson is strong in will
and grit, if feeble in body.
WOMEN IN THE ARMY.

pOpuiarity. He had a sturdy .independence
of character, and a 'depth and strength of
moral principle which was not known to,
and perhaps was hardly suspected by those
whose acquaintance with him was but slight.
That in _ which he believed was to him a
reality and not a sham 'or pretense. He
made no noisy demonstrations. of his (love:
tion to truth and principle, and was without
pretensions of any kind', but he quietly went
his way and did what he thought was right,
and would not deviate from it whether it
was popular or not.
And he was an excellent citizen. Possessed
of a sound judgment, which rarely led him
astray, generous and public spirited in all
his impulses, and with his instinctive single-
ness and purity of character, his influence
was of necessity on the right side in moral
and social questions. Ifhe had eve; kuowu
or shared in petty local jealousies, he had
outgrown and learned to despise-them, and
he unconsciously found his account in the
esteem of his fellow citizens at large.
Such a man Mr. Beers appeared, and such
he was, to thoée who knew him well. To

have sustained in his untimely death.

. peror of Germany upon the San Juan bonu-
dary. This address was well received and
very instructive. . N o sketch or characteri-
zation can do justice to the oration of Mr.
Burritt. For an oration it was in the high-
.est sense, most elevated and eloquent in
ideas, sentiments and style. The cause and
advocate were werthy of each other. The
horrors of war and the blessings of peace,
the ‘wickedness and unreasonableness of na-
tional duels ; the oppressive wrongs thus in-
flicted on working men, and the woes accu-
mulated on women and children ; the oppos-
ingkingdoms of Moloch and Messiah ; these
and other vivid views were depicted with
the hand of a master. At the close a vote‘
of thanks to Mr. Burritt were given “ with
a pill,” and then followed the Doxology.
'All went away feeling it was good to be
there, and a great loss to those who were
net there. We have said the audience was
fair. It was so in a numerical as well as
sexual sense, and some of our best men were
there, but it was not large enough fairly to
represent Norwalk. Mr. Burritt remember-
' ed to have been here thirty years ago as an
advocate of Temperance. Hehas been, for
forty years a' member of the lst Congrega-
tional church in New Britain, where is his
present home. The family originally resid-
ed in Stratford. We regret to add that he

and were in turn feasted by him with the

be “angels." ; .
