EDITORIAL LETTER. '
WASHINGTON, APRIL 13, 1872.
There has been very encouraging progress
made by both Houses of Congress the past
week, The general desire to adjourn in
season for the Philadelphia Convention
Seems to stimulate legislation.
OUR HARBOR APPROPRIATION.
In the harbor appropriation we get one-
third of the total amount of estimated cost
to complete the work. The committee were
limited to 'a total. of $5,000,000 for all Ne .v
England, and we get our proportionate
amount. This will,no doubt, be' received
in season to commence operations the fore
part of the present summer. Bridgeport
Harbor gets $40,000 ; the Thames River,
$10,000 ; the ConnecticutRiver, entire, $65,-
000; New Haven Harbor, $20,000, and the
, Housaténic River, $15,000.
made special. efforts to get an increase for
New Haven Harbor, and SenatOE'Ferry for
Norwalk, but' without avail. It is quite
probable that as much is appropriated as
can be judiciously expended the present
season, and succeeding sessions will con-
tinue the appropriation until the whole
amount recommended by Gen. Warren shall
have been expended, andour harbor from
the sound to the stone bridge is left with a
mean low water channel of seven feet.
TIIE BETIIEL AND PAHQUIOQUE BANKS.
The long contest between the Receiver Of
the Bethel Bank and the Pahqtbque, in-
volving a claini Of nearly $100,000, and
which came before the Supreme Court here
lastinonth, has been decided in favor of the
Pahquioque Bank—or, in other wordsJudge
Clifford, who delivered the Opinion, re-
affirms the judgment of our Connecticut
State courts. His Opinion, which was quite
lengthy and read last Monday to the full
bench, is now in the, hands of ,the printer
. and will soon be out. Judge Origin S.
Seymour and Wm. F. Taylor appeared here
for the Pahquioque, and Messrs. Averill &
Brewster for Mr. Tweedy, the Receiver of
the Bethe] Bank. This will be another
heavy blow to that child of many misfor-
tunes, the defunct Bcthel Bank.
TKE CINCINNATI CONVENTION.
While I write to-night, alarge number of
hitherto influential Republicans from differ-
out parts of the country, and who have been
here the past few days holding conferences
with those supposed to sympathize with
their Object and purposes,.are having a meet-
ing, to which only the “reliable” are ad.
mitted. The success of their demonstration
in New York, last night, has filled them with
hope and enthusiasm unbounded. The two
New York senhtors seem to have had more
stock in it than all others in Congress, save
the two “senators who went over tO orate.
Senator Fenton has been congratulated to-
day quite heartily for his share in the suc-
cessful performance, and Senator Conkling
commiscraled that his brother should have,
in his blindness, gone .so far astray after
strange political gods, as to have presided
at the gathering. Surely politics is as likely
as adversity to acquaint us with strange
sleeping companions.
CONNECTICUT AND NEW HAMPSHIRE. . -
Our recent political triumph, in the New
England States still continues to be a sub-
jecgpf discussion and congratulation. The
bearing upon the Presidential canvass gives
a national significance, while the election of
U. S. Senators in New Hampshire and Con-
necticut gives a special congressional in-
terest. In New Hampshire Senator Patter-
son, the present incumbent, is opposed by
ex—CongreSsman Rollins, who wages as con-
test against Mr. Patterson, not on account of
any short comings or lack of popular confi-
dence, on the part of the incumbent, but be-
cause he, Rollins, wants the place, and as is
his right as a free and independent Ameri-
can citizen, he means to gain it, if straining
exertion will compass it. It certainly can
be no disparagement to Mr. Rollins to state
the everywhere recognized can that to dis-
place an experienced legislator of Mr. Pat-
terson’s ability. culture,high personal char--
actcrand clear—headed independence,by any
new man would prove a most serious loss to
the country, and an almost irreparable one
to the State of New Hampshire. Those best
informed concerning New Hampshire’s local
politics, are sanguine that all efforts to dis-
place Senator Patterson will fail.
THE VICE PRESIDENCY.
While it is generally anticipated that the
old ticket of Grant and Colfax is to be re-
nominated at Philadelphia, it is idle to dis-
guise the fact that Senator Henry Wilson’s
chances for the second place on the ticket
are rapidly gaining. He will have several
western states and most of the New England
delegations, it is claimed, at the outset. It
is broadly hinted that such a result would
not be distasteful at the other end of the
avenue. -- -' '
True INVESTIGATIONS
may well nigh be considered closed. The
French Arms committee are expected to rise
next week. A majority will report that
nothing has been found either to implicate
the government orany officer thereof in any
improper conduct in the disposal of our sur-
plus arms.
The Robeson investigation seems tO have
resulted in an entire failure to fix upon that
ofliccr any" intentional infractions of his
clearly defined rights and privileges, how-
ever loosely the laws may be proven to be,
and the Committee will so report.
The testimony and report of the New
York Custom House Committe are SO volu-
minous that it will be next to impossible to
get it printed this session.
TOM SCOTT’S NEW REPORT.
The House having 'aflirmed the city’s grant
of land 'for a new and commodious depot for
the new and competing railroad now being
pushed through to Baltimore by that young
railroad Goliah, Tom Scott, the Senate has
th‘e'bill before its committee, and ‘it will be
up for passage early in‘tbo week. We know
nothing of the detailed merits of the bill,but
on general principles shall rejoice, as we
know the whole traveling public will, to see
even one hole knocked through the Chinese
wall with which the Baltimore & Ohio
monopoly has for years encircled the
National Capitol. The day has passed, and,
we trust forever, when corpOrations or in-
dividuals may thwart the public welfare and
convenience by any dogfin-tbe-manger pol-
icy. Washington has really waked up to a
new era of enterprise and improvement,and
this new railroad will prove one of its fortu-
nate and valuable acquisitions.
SEWINGMACHINES.
' The great Wilson sewing machine patent
extension comes up for a hearing before the
Senate committee on Thursday. It is Op-
posed by bushels Of remonstrances, and will
have a hard struggle if resurrected.
HONORS T0 PRom-MORSE.
The Hall of Representatives is to be
thrown open for a memorial service in honor
of Prof. Morse Tuesday evening. Quite ex-
tensive arrangements are being made to ren-
der the occasion worthy the place, the occa~
sion and the memory Of the distinguished
dead. ‘
POSTAL CARDS.
The bill creating penny postal cards for
open correspondence, after the English
fashion, has passed the House and is before
the SenateCommitte‘e. It will undoubtedly
become a law. .
. SAFETY FOR THE SAILORS.
A bill has been introduced into the House
appropriating $200,000 for a submarine tele-
graph cable from the coast- three hundred
miles to the east of Nantucket, to a storm
and relief ship connected at its end; through
which notice ”Off all easterly gales may be
signalled, to thesenports and capes several
hours, or a‘-IWhole day, in advance of the
,arrival of a storm. The ship is to be a

Mr. Kellogg -
Commissicncr Douglas, having a case in.
point, decides that under the law gas Com-
panies located within the corporate limits of
any city or town, whether in the same dis-
trict or otherwise, or so located as to coni-
pete with each other, (whether they do
actually compete or not,) shall pay the rate
of tax imposed by law upon the company
having‘thc largest production
THE JUDICIARY FUND EXHAUS'I‘ED.
The Judiciary fund has been all checked
out, and many United States marshals are
now without funds to pay their court wit-
nesses and attaches. The deficiency bill
now pending appropriates one million
dollars to this fund, which, if passed, will
carry the judiciary through to the end of
the fiscal year.
To ExCLUDE FILTH rnon TnE MAILS.’
The New York Society for the suppres—
sion of Obscene Literature has sent its pres-
ident, J. R. Dillion, here for the purpose of
having the lztw regarding the subject amend-
ed so that the penalties may be more severe
for the sending of any impure print or pic-
ture through the mails.
CONNECTICUT POSTMASTER.
The President sent the name of Leverett
M. Hubbard to the Senate yesterday, as P-
M. at Wallingford.
CONCRETE FOB. STREETS AND WALKS.
The Park Commissioners of Boston, New
been in session here for some time, in con-
sultation and examination of the various
patents for making tar and gravel roadways
and walks. They report that they have ex-
amined all the pavements laid in the cities
named—have examined the patented formu-
las for making and putting down, Of which
there are nearly One hundred. They are san-
guine that this is the best material yet discov-
ered for roadways and walks when properly
compounded and laid. Of the large number
and variety put-down in this country it may
be stated that good samples Of the most im-
portant of those which seemed to Offer any
rgasonable hope of succeess were found in
all Of these cities and presented all the ad-
vantages for observation as to length of titne
'laid abrasion to which they had been expos-
ed,and condition under such exposure,which
the board deemed of value for the purposes
of their investigation. The pavements so
examined were put down by. the following
companies: The Scrimshaw Patent Pave-
ment Company, the Scharf Pavement Co.,
the Grabamitc Asphalt Pavement Co., the
Evan’s Pavemgnt 00., the Day Vulcanite
Pavement Co., and the Filbert Vulcanite
Pavement 00., together with some others,
whose operations had been too limited to
warrant special mention.
Those enumerated had been in use for va-
rious periods from the year-1867 to date, ex-
hibited favorable conditions as to wear, pre-
sented smooth, well-formed and compact
surfaces, with fair indications of continued
durability. Less than fifteen of these pat-
ented compositions present to—day any
claims to the attention of practical men, and
perhaps not one-half of these more than par-
»italy succeeded, and somehave totally failed
for want of corr’ect knowledge and experi-
ence in combining and manipulating'mate-
rials on the part of the patcntec.
This question is interesting the people of
all our cities and towns, and the printed re-
port of this commission will be looked for
with special interest. The city of Washing-
ton is paving Pennsylvania Avenue from
the Treasury to Georgetown, with the best
known preparation of tar and cracked
stones, and itis confidently expected it will
last, with slight repairs, for scores of years.
Such a pavement or concreting of our Own
West Avenue would save the tax payers of
Norwalk thousands of dollars.
A BILL To ABOLISII THE OFFICE OF COLLEC-
TOR AQD ASSESSOR.
The Secretary. of the Treasury has pre-
pared and submitted to the Committee Of
Ways anndans a bil _olisbing the ofiice
of collector and assess f internal revenue,
and providing for not more than fifty super-
visors, who shall perform all the duties of
collectors. The bill proceeds upon the as-
sumption that all taxes are to be remokd
except those collected by the use Of stamps.
He has also directed Supervising Inspector
Houston to thoroughly investigate the loss,
of the steamboat Oceanus on the Mississip-
pi, and report.
Judge McKeau, of Utah, was before the

and machinist finds employment in the
preparation of drawings and specifications
for patents. ,
A. 0. Arnold, Esq, of Norwalk, has just
received through the above agency, anim-
porlant patent on iron safe and heavy furni-
ture casters. He has another “in the works,”
for improved window weights and sliding
door rollers. " ' B.
Water.
Make your application for the introduc-
tion of Water at an early day, so that the
work can be done to the best advantage.
As we understand, no scale of prices has
yet been established for water, but the rate
for families will probably be about six dol-
lars per year for families of five persons or
less, and one dollar per year, extra, for each
person over that number.
The work of setting hydrants has com-
menced and already about thirty have been
placed in position. About one hundred all-
together, single and double, are to be put
down this Spring.

The Nelly White. ,
Our favorite steamer, the Nelly W hite,
havfllg been thoroughly overhauled and
placed in the best of running order, is to re-
sume her daily trips commencing next week
Monday afternoon. The public will be glad
to learn that‘Com. White has secured the
pier at the foot of 33d street, for the np-tov'vn
landing in New York. This is one of the
most conveniefi landings tip-town, being
close to the 34th Street Ferry, where horse
ears and carriages can be taken to almost
any part of the city. “Mr. White seems to
exert himself to give his patrons every sat-
isfaction possible, and people will show
their appreciation of his management by
liberal patronage.

Nature has been playing some strange
freaks in this vicinity lately. Last week a
chicken was hatched with four legs and
four wings. A strange peculiarity about
the legs was that one pair was formed for
walking forward, and the other pair for
going in the opposite direction—a sort of
double under like the new style of naval
steamers. Mr. W. B. Rider has the non-
dcscript, which lived but a day or so, and
we believe has preserved it in alcohol.
Another strange freak is a calf with two
entirely distinct and perfectly formed heads
joined together on one neck, ' It has been
on exhibition at Adams Market, Main
Street. ’

Bounty torsheronnh‘and Full: Coss-
nectlcus Volt-scar Beat-less“.
By a recent 'act of Congress, members of
these regiments who have heretofore been
deprived of $100 bounty by the ruling of
certain military authorities are now entitled
to receive it. The call issued May the 3d,
1861, Offered $100 bounty to volunteers,
making no condition as to the length of time
they should serve. ' ‘
In the call issued July the 22d, of the
same year, the same bounty was offered,
. but. with the proviso that the soldier receiv-
ing it should have Served two years. The
department officers in paying bounties
have, up to this time, notwithstanding the
difference of the two calls, made no distinc-
tion between those who volunteered be-
tween May the 3d and July 22d and those
volunteering after the 22d of July, holding
that in either case the soldier must have
served two years before he was (3an to
the bounty. Through the efforts of senator
Ferry and Representative Kellogg a bill
passed Congress last week ' authorizing
the first call to be constructed literally, so
that those who volunteered between May
3d and July 22d, 1861, are entitled, provid-
ed they were rcgularly discharged and not
discharged for inability, to receive the $100
bounty if they served but a. few months.
The appropriation for this purpose has
been made, and after a few days of delay
they will be ready at the Adjutant General’s
office to receive claims.

EDITORS GAZETTE—Your notice of the
doings of a ferocious dog last week, and the
frequent reports of late, of so many mad
dogs,_should sgvcto arouse the authorities
to the exercise Of every precaution for the
protection of the peopie. It should at least
result in the enforcement of existing laws
requiring every dog to be registered or
killed ; a law which is openly violated by a
large class of inhabitants in many ways.
These dogs are a public nuisance, attacking
citizens, frightening their horses, endanger-
ing lives and should not be tolerated longer
especially as the season of the year is at
handD'when so many dogs become rabid.
The life of one citizen thus exposed is worth
more than all the dogs in the universe. S.

The Porn-alt ofJudge Butler.
The Bridgeport Standard speaks of the
portrait of our honored citizen, which has
just been completed, as follows :—Thc por-
trait of Judge 'Thomas B. Butler, ot' the
Supreme Court Of Connecticut, recently
painted by Mr. Calvin Curtis, of this city,
may be seen for a few days at the Art Gal-
lery Of Mr. D- O'Connell, NO. 280 Main
street. The portrait of Judge Butler is a
pictuge that takes rank at once as a fine
painting, as well as an excellent likeness,
and would alone secure for the artist from
whose - hand it has recently received its
finishing touches, a well merited and honor; .
able reputation. The Judgc'is represented
sitting in an easy attitude, with a look of
attention upon his face which is sufficiently
earnest without being forced, and lights the
countenance with its proper intelligence and
spirit. The look is one which his associates
and friends will'recognize as most often seen
and one perhaps the most essential, to a
proper transcription of the individuality of
the man upon canvass. The handling of the
light and shade is skillful, the coloring warm
and living without being overdone, the
treatment judicious,and the tone harmonious
and in sympathy with the subject. It is
eminently a fine picture, and one upon
which the lover of art can always look with
pleasure. we agree entirely with the‘veri
diet of an excellent critic, that it is the most
.artistic portrait of . a prOmi'ncnt man to be
found in any public collection in the State.
The members Of the Fairficld COunty Bar
are" to be'fclicitated upon having secured a
picture Of the eminent Judge, whom they,
have thus chosen to honor, which will be at
once so gratifying as a work of art, and such
a characteristic and successful likeness. Mr.
Curtis has long been recOgnized as an artist
of true ability, and this picture will serve‘to
increase his reputation. and confirm that
popular appreciation which is his due.
