EDITORIAL, LETTER.
Wismaros, FEB. 24m, 1872.
The “tempest in a teapot" inagurated last
week: over the sale of arms, has been blown
‘ into a fierce political tornado, and the end is
not yet. The wind shifted yesterday, when
Senator Trumbull, in an able and well pre-
- pared speech, made answer to the partizan
aspects of the discussion, and the many
forests and insinuations Concerning his own
willingness to lead the army of Anti-Grant
Republicans through a presidential cam-
paign on the Missouri platform. It is
affirmed to-night that had the Illinois Sena-
tor waited a few hours until we had received
the intelligence of Judge Davis’ nomination.
by. the Labor Reformers, he might have
changed his argument somewhat, or declined
' to have spoken at all. The point made in
”Senator Morton’s impromptu rejoinder that
be, Mr. Trumbull, came to the front with his
‘ back, all Chalked over with “Barkis is
,w'illin," was a home thrust and so well made
4mg: even Mr. T. himself joined in the gene-
ral laughter. But this whole discussion,
since the first day, has been a business
carried .on under falsc pretenses. . The de-
bate is, and has been,- disingenious from the
"start, and ought to be dropped, at least from
further seriOus consideration. Yet we are
promised another “week Of it,” with Senator
, style, on Monday. It is anticipated that
our facctious Nevada friend will go for the
comical features involved in the terrible
‘ bombs. There is certainly enough in the
matter to give him ample food for his thirst
‘ ,tor the ridiculous, and if he can heal with
his fun some of the wounds made by the
'angry discussion hitherto, he will have done
the best service . to the party and to the
country, of any Senator who has yet spoken
to the question. Meantime the 'honest busi-
ness legislation of the country must be put
aside and this lollypop of president making
go on to its ridiculous finale. -
The interest in the Alabama Claims ques-
tion has been revived by the sudden appear-;
ance here Of our Commissioner Hon. Chas.
Francis Adams. A cabinet meeting was
held yesterday, to consider facts brought
hither by Mr. A. from Minister Schenck, and
the form of reply to be made to the note of
Earl Granville. So entirely, however, are
our politicians-and public men e Tossed in
President making just now, that the Ala-
bama question is scarce able to command
an_ llours’I serious consideration on their
‘Ipa'lI‘It.’ 'It is enough to make any one yearn
I‘forI’an amended constitution limiting the-
‘ Presidential period to one term, even if that
term be extended to six or eight years.

VmCENT COLYER’S RESIGNATION.
From the correspondence in the case of
the resignation of Vincent Colyer as secre-
tary Of the Indian board, it appears that
more than a month ago the Secretary of the
Interior communicated to the board through
Hon. Felix R.IBrunot, the desire of the dc-
partment that Mr. Colyer should retire; the
Secretary claiming it to be necessary for the
welfare and prosperity of that part. of the
public service with which the Board of In-
dian Commissioners is connected. This was
.approved by the President and Commission-
er Of lndian Affairs, with regret for its ne-
cessity. Mr. Colyer, resigned his position
as a member of the Board on Saturday last.
It is understood that Mr. Colyer has not
been in accord with the views of Secretary
Delano in various matters pertaining to the
welfare and government of the Indians, and
thereby became an obstacle in the execution
of the Indian policy, hence his resignation.
The sliccessor to Mr. Colyer is a Pennsylva-
nian and is hard at work acquainling him-
self with the duties of his new position. It
is undcistood that the “powers that be,”
dared not further risk the peace Of' the party
at the far west ; where Mr. C. had sadly
disturbed “their little game” of Indian rows
and masacres.
TuE'JAPs AND THE scuoon MARM’S.
The agent here of the Japanese Embassy,
has set the school marms Crazy. He wants
to engage from fifteen to a score, to go to
Japan and teach the little Jap daughters of
nobility the rudiments of English, and also
the manners. customs and household eli-
quette prevailing here. The engagements
are for three years, and $1,500 per year, in
silver, and all expenses paid out and back,
and free soup and chop sticks-while there.
Up to this time there are only about three
hundred applications for the twenty posi-
tions, a fact not to be wondered at whenzwe
the cost of living and the miserable Day Of
from three to five hundred dollars per year,
that is doled out to the average American
school marm.
. TEE KANSAS now.
. The‘bitterncss and wickedness ofpartizan
rivalries has had afresh revelation in the
Kansas senatorial and legislative investiga-
tions. Rumor has it to night thatareport
has been forwarded to the Vice President,
which will, make some explanation neceS'
sary by the two sitting Senators. Those
who know them best, say they will be
abundantly able to prove themselves inno-
cent of all charges of corruption in securing
their seats.
DEATH OF LE GRAND LocxwooD.
The dispatch announcing the sudden death
of Mr. Le Grand Lockwood, received here
this evening, was received with profound
sorrow in high Official, as well ‘as private
circles. He was well and intimately known
to the Senate Chairman of the Committee
on Finance, as well as at the Treasury. de-
partment, and his opinions on financial
matters were frequently sought and highly
prized. But his loss to» his family and to
Norwalk, may be justly said to be irrepara-
ble. The announcement this death, comes ,
to us as a distressing personal bereavement.
At another time, we shall feel justified in
narrating certain facts, not known to the
public,’ going to show how much he lgvcd -
Norwalk and how sincerely he desired to
benefit her people. .
THE BETIIEL AND PAHQUIOQUE BANK CAsE.
The great case between the defunct Beth-
el Bank and the Pahquioque Bank of Dam
bury, involving a claim- of using $60,000,
growing out of the Judd and Nathan Seeley
difficulties, and which has gone through all
our State courts, was argued by counsel be-
with the nomination. It is'said; that a‘eonri

{We believe that we express the generbl
sentiment of the people‘ot Nor-walk in say-
ing that‘no similar announcement has ever}
caused m‘Ore excitement and regret throughl
out this community, than the ' sad tidings of
the cxtreme’illn'e‘ss Of LcGrand Lockwoml,
whiCh the telegrams of last Friday conveyed,
followed ,by the painful assurance of his
death on Saturday morning. The anxious
inquiries that were upon all tongues, made
with tearful eyes and quivering lips, told
how strong and deep was the public sym--
pathy. '
The people of Norwalk were proud ‘of
their fellow-townsmau—of his nativity, his
prosperity, his character. He wasso identi-
fied with them that his successes were their
gain, and so excited no envy, but only
congratulation ; his disasters were felt as a
public loss, not only because he was a pub-
lic benefactor, but because of their admira-
tion and love of the man. -
_In these hours of suspense not only did the
community remember and appreciate the
many improvements already made by him,
Contributing so greatly to the public con-
venience and prosperity, and to the beauty
of their town,—and others contemplated by
his large mind and generous soul,—but
numerOus individuals bcthought them .Of
private aid and relief received from his open
hand ; and all recalled the genial smiles of
his sunny face, and the pleasant words which
enhanced the value of his kind deeds and
gifts. I _ -
“_ When the ear heard him, then it blessed him;
And when the eye saw him, it gave witness to him;
Because he delivered the poor that cried.
And the fatherless, and him that had none to help
him.
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came
upon him:
And be caused the widow's heart to sing for joy."
' J on 29: 1143.
Those who were admitted to the inner
circle of his friendship, his home, and his
hospitality, can testify to the warmth and
constancy of his domestic alffl social nature,
that he was at once the strength, the light,
and the joy of his home, in whose love and
happiness hecast off all cares Of business,
and gave himself to the dispensation of the
bounty and the pleasures which he so fully
enjoyed. Here his remOval will _be most
poignantly felt. But here we must drop the
vail. ' 4
It did not seem to his fellows thfisuch a
man could be spared; that one so robust
could die in the prime of his life and vigor,
but God has judged otherwise, and in His
wise, and holy will it behooves all to
acquiesce. ’
Mr. Lockwood was first confined to his
chamber on Thursday, the 15th inst. His
disease was pneumonia. On Sunday and
Monday it was hoped that the crisis was
passed; but, afterward, the lung that had
been spared was assailed, and paralysis of
the right side supervcned, and then the
strong man was compelled to succumb.
' The best medical skill was baffled.
When convinced that his end was near,
having clung to a life that seemed so impor-
tant to his family, and firm, and various in-
terests, he quietly expressed his entire sub:
mission to the Divine Will, and his sole

away a part of the old bridge before naviga-
tion can be resumed. This work, it is ex-
peeled, will'be done.at once, and all ob-
structing removed. The new bridge presents
a much better appearance than the old
structure, and is undoubtedly much safer.

member of the firm of Geniu & Lockwood,
and, on the retirement of Mr. Genin in 1856,
became senior member of the firm, which
has always been one of the most prominent
in the street, and until the Autumn of 1869
wielded a controlling influence at the Stock
Ex'change. The September gold panic Of
that year, which caused such wide disaster,
forced the firm into a. temporary. suspension,
and entailed large losses ; but on settlement
of accounts the house resumed business and
was in a fair way to regain its old position.
' Mr. Lockwood was identified with the late
i Henry Keep in.the management of the Mich-
igan Southern railroad and was for a num-
ber of years Treasurer of the Company. He
was also a director in several railway and
banking corporations, and at the time of his
death a Director in the Pacific Mail Steam.-
sllip Company. As a business man Mr.
Lockwood was prompt and decided in all
his transactions, rarely made mistakes, and
was regarded as one of the shrewdest finan-
cicrs in the street. Honorable and generous ~
in all his‘dealings, he made money rapidly
and gave freely to every worthy charitable
object presented tO his notice. His strict
integrity was~ almost proverbial. In social
life he was a genial gentleman, and had the
respect of a large circle of friends, while In
his home he was generous and unselfish,pro'-

regret and condolence were adopted in his
honor by the Stock Exchange on Saturday.

benefit of the fair ones who may feel dis-E
posed to act upon ye‘ old time usage. In ‘
another placein Kentucky, the card at one
of“ their fairs was the public sale of the mar.
riageable men; professional gents brought
. about $5 a head, young bachelors without

'l'o DENIADE ELECTonst'g’ ;‘
All persons who desire to be clcciorsxmust
file a noticc.with the Registrars on on lie-,5
fore the 9th day of March, “which notice
shall be in Writing, subscriued, by the in?
tended applicant or by some elector 'of
said town, and shall state the full name of
such applicant, his residence in said town,
by street and number or other description
sufficiently to identify it, the place where
the applicant was born, the date, as nearly
as can be ascertained, when he became or
will become twenty-one years of age, the
date when be commenced his residence in
this State and in said town,~ and in case he
is an alien born, the date when be com-
menced his residence in the United States.”
Senator Ferry, whose term expires in the .
Spring Of 1873 is alluded to by a _ writer in
the Chicago Tribune in the following
terms‘:-—Ferry of Connecticut is a remarka-
hie instance ofa man stricken down with
. paralysis in the prime of life, who has yet
recovered sufficiently to take his seat in the
Senate with a cool head, and, if that were
possible, enlarged powers of slatemanship.
He is a man Of fine appearance and delight-
ful énunciation. There is a largeness and
frankness about his character which places
him in the highest grade Of public men. He
belongs to no junto, and has 'ono hyper-
ambitiOus purposes. Sustaining himself
with a truthful indignation and vigorous
assertion on all occasions, he has never had
a quarrel with the administration; but he
appears to deem it unworthy Of the hour
and the degree ofknowledge existing among
the people, and as, besides addicted to
perverse and personal methods of govern-
_ment, dangerous to the republic. You can
scarcely conceive from reading the last
speech Ochrry, how splendidly it affected
the Senate, so that even Matt Carpenter
rising to terms of admiration, spoke of it as
showing great ability of clearncss.
.Mr. Ferry stands vindicated here as one
of the three great senators of New England,
—Mr. Sumner, of course, beingr one and Lot
Merrill of Maine another. It will be hard
to match these three men in other sections
' - ofthe country. , .
SMALLI’OX REILEDY.-—'l‘be following rcm‘
edy for the small pox is published in the
Hartford Times, which says: “A friend
who tried it in Ohio in a case of confluent
small ox, where the doctors had little hope
of sav ng the patient, found it saved a
w0man’s life. Other cases were then t‘iied,
and; as he assures us, every one was sneer-ss-
ful. The remedy is said to be equally sure
in scarlet fever.” The Times knows nothing
of its merits, but'gives it for what it is
worth: “I herewith spend a receipt
which has been used to my knowledge in
hundreds of cases. It will prevent or cure
small pox even though ‘thc pittings are
filling. When Jenner discovered cowpox
in England the world of science hurled an
avalanche of fame upon his head ; when Ibo
most scientific school of medicine . in he
world—that 'of'Paris—publishcd this pana-
cea for the small pox it passed unheeded.
It is as unfailing as fate, and conquers in
every instance. It is harmless when taken
by a well person. It will also cure scarlet
fever; here it is as I have used it to cure
small pox: Sulphate of zinc, one grain ; fox-
glove, (digitalis?) one grain; half a teaIspoon-
ul of water ; w on thoroughly mixed add
four ounces of water. Take a spoonful
every hour. For a child smaller doses ac-
cording to age.” '
The Chicago .Rellef Fund.
Mr. George E. Miller, treasurer of the
Chicago Relief Fund, has furnished us‘a re-
port Of the monies received and paid out by
him, from which ,we learn that the total
amount received was $1,505.08, including
thy sum of $11.08 as interest while in the
treasurer’s hands. This entire amount was
paid over, with the exception of $13.30 paid
out for necessary incidental expenses, stated.
The following letters in acknowledgment
have been received:

This road cxten s from Logansport to Rockville,
Indiana, a distance of ninety-two miles, more than
seventy Of which are finished and in operation and
the entire line. itis expected, will be completed in a
very short time. Passing through a well-settled
country and several large towns, besides furnishing
ready east and west connections at Logansport, Col-
fax and Crawfordsvllle, as also north and south con-
nections at Crawfordsvillc and Rockville, it cannot
fail to have a large local passenger traffic. The
country along the] ne is very rich, producing corn,
wheat, oats and other articles for the market; it is
the year will task the road to its utmost capacity,
Perhaps its most important feature, however. is its
connection with the coal-beds andstone ’qnurries in
