fares. These were referred as usual to the
appropriate committees.
Mr. Goodwin, of East Hartford, sent up to
the chair the letter of the Governor to the
Governor of New York, whichllie House
refused to call for on Wednesday. He
moved to table and order it printed. Mr.
Perkins wanted it read and the clerk read it
to the House. In substance the letter called
the attention of Gov. Hoffman to the bill be-
fore the Legislature of his State reducing
the fares to two Cents a mile, and he went
on to give the histor of the conuecion of Illt'
road with New Yor , its dependence upon
the Harlem road,and the embarrassment lht‘
proposed reduction woulbeause the intend-
ed, volunlry reduction all along the line
which the company had in mind. The re-
sult of the passage of the bill in question
Would be to put Connecticut to an expense
to make up for what the road lost at the
farther end. He mad_e six points against the
proposed law: First, The road now in-
tends to make a reasoaable reduction
throughout the whole line. Second, the
limit of two cents per mile would result in
an actual loss to that part' oi the road
Third, the effect of that loss will be ‘0 pre-
'vent the company front making its rates for
Connecticut passengers as low'as it other-
wise would. Fourth, Connecticut is equally
interested with Westcbester in having rapid
and cheap communication with the com-
mercial center of the country. Fifth, West-
chestcr n0w pays on the average less per
mile than Connecticut. Sixth, that State
unity and fraternal feeling which should ex-
ist between neighbors should prompt the
State of New 'York not to impose upon these
corporations restrictions which it does not
impose on its, own corporations.
Mr. Phillips, of Putnam, moved its refer:
ence‘ to the committee on railroads. Mr.
English seconded the motion,‘and it was
pasted. Then Mr. Goodwin called up the
resolution tabled Wednesday, calling upon
the Governor for this letter and other infor-
mation, andmioved to amend it by striking
out the part relating to the letter, and to put
' the rest on its passage.
But the House seemed to be tired of the
thing and wanted"to put it off altogether.

passed. . ,

' . From the New Haven Register.
The Truth, About the “Bargain.”
Several months ago the Register expressed
the opinion that if the Republicans should
secure a majority in the Legislature the
Democratic minoril would much prefer
Ferry to Hawle . l e have not yet changed
that opinion. ow Gen. Hawley, who is
sometimes rather reckless in his statements,
charges that Senator Ferry has entered into
a bargain with Democrats to secure their
votes. This we believe to be entirely false
We certainly have never had any conversa-
tion with Senator Ferry or any of his friends
on this subject, nor have we had any assur-
ance or intimation that he would be pleased
to receive the votes of Democrats. The
statement that the Democrats have entered
into a bargain with Senator Ferr or his
friends is a malicious slander. e prefer
Senator Ferry to Gen. Hawley, because he
.is more liberal in.his views, and has less of
the partisan and politician in‘him than his
competitor. If there is any other reason, we
have yet to hear it.

From nowtill the'SenatoriaI contest is

upon those Republicans who refused to enter
into the caucus. They will be threatened,
attempts will be made to cajole them, and
the “sacred rightsof party” will be preached

fientlemen who have. taken this manly stand
ave given their reasons for doing so and no
attempt has been made to answer them.
They have now nothing to hope or gain by
receding, while by persisting in the course
they have taken they must command re-
ect. They will do well to remember this.
hatever hostility they have aroused will
not be alloyed by backing down, but,on the
‘contrary, increased. Firmly uniting, with
arguments for their action which are unan-

count eons course is now.as ever,lhe wisest,
and a so the one which will do most t'owar

if that harmc as been disturbed. It is

The .Senns”ship—Extraordinary De-
~ velopmelnll,
It has been well understood all winter
that two prominent candidates tor the
United States senatorship this spring would
be Senator Ferry and cx-Governor Hawley.
Up to the present time no other candidate
has been brought forward. Last fall Gene-
ral Hawley wrote to A. H. Byington, of Nor-
walk, a. letter s asking in the usual terms of
his old friend erry, and inquiring concern-
ing the iatter’s candidacy.’ Byington gave
the letter to Ferry and the latter answered
it in kindly terms, and then the matter
dropp‘ (1. each understanding the other‘s
purposes to compete honorably for the
Oman—Gen. Hawley, m Courant.
OUR REPLY TO THE ABOVE.
In the month of June last,while the editor
ofthis paper was in Hartford, he met Gen.
Hawley. The latter said that certain cer-
respondence, which had appeared in a Bos-
ton uewspaper, announcing Gen. Hawll.’ y as
the probable successor of Senator Ferry,
and written by a person in. the Courant
otiice, had appeared without his (Hawley‘s)
knowledge, and that he was sorry for it ;
that he and Ferry were and always had been
friendly, and that if Ferry should be a can~
didatc for re-elcclion,be (Hawley) would’not
run against him. He did not, as we remem-
ber, expressly tell us to communicate these
remarks, though such seemed‘to us to be his
evident expéciation, and to Senator Ferry
we did so communicate them, on our return
to Norwalk, . -
We heard no more of the matter till some
time last autumn. when we received the
letter, referred ‘0 above, from Gen. Hawley,
taking us if Senator Ferry was to be a can-
~li-‘late for rc-election,and adding that lie
(Hawley) wished to know, “as it might alter
inS plans."' This letter contained no hint of
any change from the intention he had ex-
oressed in June. We ‘ handed it to Senator
Ferry (who was then at home) who said at
once, f‘l'will answer this letter if you have
no objection; we do uot_need any diplo-
.nacy between Hawley and myself.” He
did answer the lejter, and stated that be was
ind should be a candidate for reelection,
:tnd referrel to the conversation between
Hawley and ourselves,iu the preceding June,
in regard to the Boston newspaper. An an-
swer certainly was expected to that letter,
which was written throughout on the ideas
suggested to Mr. Ferry by the report of the
June conversation, but no answer was ever
received, and it is not true that “the matter
dropped, each understanding the other'e pur'
poses to compete honorably for the 0M." Mr.
Ferry went back to his post of duty in
Washington, and the'field was left clear he
hind him. . ~ , - .
On Saturday, the 5th of this month, Mr.
Ferry received from Gen. Hawley a letter,
asking if the former knew about. the action
of the Fairfield county Republicans, and re-
questing an article for the C'ourant on the
subject.
letter. On the Wednesday next following
its receipt (last Wednesday,) Mr. Strong,» ot
Hartford, called upon Mr. Ferry, in the Sen-
ate Chamber, and said that he (Strong) had
.receivcd a telegram from Gen. Hawley, who
said he had written a letter to Mr. Ferry the
week before. and got no answer, and he
(Hawley) wanted to know what Mr. Ferry
knew about what was going on at New Hit-
ven,»aud wanted Strong to ask him (Ferry).
To which Mr. Ferry replied, “ I wrote to
Gen. Hawley last autumn and got no au-
swer. I have followed his example}? Mr.
Strong replied “ I will tell him that,” and
no more words passed.
The foregoing is an exact statement of
the facts referred to in Gen. Hawley’s arti-
cle in the Cour-ant, above quoted. A part of
the statement is of our own knowledge, and
a part we have ascertained from Senator
Ferry. We leave our statement to speak
for itself, without further note or comment.
One thing more. ‘ In another part of the
article in the Gourant, thom which the above
extract was taken, occurs the following :—
“In the meantime the democrats have
sent to Ferry asking of him to give auti-
Grant and what they call ‘conservative’
pledges as a condition of their support.”
We do not know what the “ democrats "
have done, but we do know that no such
communication or dispatch has been re-
ceived, directly or indirectly, by Mr. Ferry,
or by any of his friends.
Gen. Hawley knows we would not inton-
tionally do him a wrong. We regret more
than we can express that the impatience of
his nature should have led him to depart
from the course of action he most certainly
announced to us. Having done so, no good
can now came of any words of bitterness.
or perversion of the facts in this unfortunate
controversy. In all we have writteh or said
on this subject, we have endeavored to wrilr
nose. The published imputations upon the
part Senator Woodward .has taken in this
matter we know to be cruelly unjust to him
and his faithful endeavors to avert the pres
ent complications. There are times when
the mast independent men are forced to
yield a private judgment to an overpower-
ing local sentiment. ‘
Such false reports as that of the demo-
cratic caucus given in the Cour-ant, and in
the same words in the N. Y. Sun, but exas-
peratc meii who honestly and conscientiously
feel that they have been wronged.
Gen. Hawley is himself too much oli'a
“‘genllemau in politics” we are sum to up
prove of expressions like the following
from Monday’s N. Y. Times and interpreted
here to have emanated from a Couram
writer: .
“Nobody thought that the wish for other
was so strong in this decrepit man, that
holding to life, as he was, bya most frail
tenure, he would be willing to sacrifice his
party. to retain his place; yet this is just
what has happened.” ‘
In fine, the friends of Senator Ferry who
absented themselves from the caucus believe,
upon evidence conclusive to them, that
pledges were secured from members of the
Legislature, both prior to and since their
nomination ; that systematic personal-impor—
tunities for votes were made all over the
State prior to the convening of the Legisla-
ture ; that the boast was freely made on the
assembling of the Legislature, that “two-~
thirds" of that body were “fixed" for Gen.
Hawley ; in short, that etl‘orts were made to
sequre his nomination most extraordinary
and entirely unprecedented. If such be not
the truth, then have they been most grossly
misinformed, and a candid effort to disabusc
their minds of these impressions promises
far happier results than a persistence in
'abusivc imputations and false charges.

revived, and now .surpasses in extent all
former production in that line. Frank Mead

The coming presidential campaign will
have a tendency to withdraw attention from

On Tuesday afternoon last water was
turned into the pipes at the upper reservoir,
and on Thursday morning was discharging
into the distributing reservoir on Prospect
Hill. It has since. continued to flow, and
the reservoir is now about half full. This
will pretty effectually stop the croakings of
those persons who have all along been so
positive that the . engineer had made a mis-
take, and that the distributing reservoir was
higher than the receiving reservoir.
We may soon look for the testing of the
pipes on the west side of the river, and the
introduction of water for tire purposes.

Young Men’s Chxlotltu Auocluuou.
The anniversary meeting or the Young
Men’s Christian Association was held at the
Second Methodist E. Church on Sunday
evening last. It was a union service, and
the attendance was therefore large. The
exercises were unusually interesting from
the let that the meeting was Conducted and
largely participated in by members of the
association—which has not been the custom
at meetings of the association heretofore.
Rev. Samuel Dunham, of the First Congre-
gational church, opened the exercises by
reading a hymn ; Rev. J. Pegg, Jr., the new
Methodist minister, ofi'ered prayer; Mr.
Aaron S. Hall, the newly elected President
of the Association, made a short address,
.when Mr. H. B. Wigham, ex-president, read
a report of last year's doings of the associa-
tion, and Mr. Charles S. Prowilt submitted
the treasurer‘s report ; brief addresses were
then delivered by Messrs. Greenwood, James
L. Ambler, Joseph W. Wilson, Rev. S. B. S.'
Bisseil, Rev. J. Pegg, In, and Dr.'Asa Hill.
The collection of the evening amounted to
about forty dollar's, reducing the debt to
fifty dollars. '
We noticed a “new departure” in the
church choir. The instrument has been
inovcd to the front of the gallery, and the
singers circle around. But the great change
is in the style of singing. Mr. Richard Dun-
ning, a professional teacher, having been en-
gaged as leader and ,to instruct and drill the
choir, with the view of more artistically ren-
dering church music. This change, of
course, causes increased expense, which, we
understand, is paid by subscription.

The U. S. Senate sale of arms committee
made a report last week in which they state
that alters most thorough and impartial in
vestigation, they have found nothing which
can reflect dishonOr-upon our government.
The sales were made inconformity to the
seitied construction of the statute in lllC.WaI'
Department with results exceedingly "favor-
able to the government. Therefore they
find nothing in the-conduct of'tbé Secretary .
of War or his subordinates deserving cenr

Hon. A. H. vao'ron,
Dunn Sim—I am aware that you have not
supported the Hon. Horace Greeley for Pres-
idcnt ct I know you would not allow an
injustice to be done to him in this communi-
ty. It has been publiclv stated by a gentle.
man whose word and opinion are respected.
that "Horace Greeley is a very profane man,
cquallin in profanity the worst man in this
town." , on were long associated with him
in your profesion‘ and know his peculiarities
wr I you please through the Gszum say if
such statement is true or false and 'obligc.
. Yours respectfully, B. S.
WWc answer candidly, that no man
probably ever heard Mr. Gree'e ' use the
name of the Deity with irreverence. The
extremest verge of his profanity never ex-
15tf
.tended to onr'knowledge and belief beyond
a casual “d—n it," and that only under stress
of great exasperation.
It would be distressing indeed were the
pious instincts, of those democrats, (who
now propose to make Mr.Greeley President.)
to he wounded by so baseless a slander.

We take occasion ,to publicly inform our
friend, Mr. Hatch, that the only reason why
his communication addressed to the Gm'r‘rs:
was not printed in our last was because it
was not received until after we had gone to
press. We cheerfully give our opponents a
chance to be heard.

It appears there are circumstances under
which General Hawley’s friends may be in-
the democrats. Should they, however, be
driven to that course they will go the whole
figure, and instead of voting for a republi-
Can candidate, will insist upon sending a
democrat to the United States Senate.
They have already selected their candidate,
who is the Hon. James B. English. The
selection does honor to their shrewdness, for
he is probably the most popular democrat
in the State, and there was a time when the
republicans offered to nominate him for
Congress. Thit such a scheme has been
concocted we learn from that staunch
Hawley organ, the Meriden Republican.
which says “it may be politic for Mr.
Hawley’s friends to unite upon Mr. English.”
Vic shall not dispute their right to do so,
but we must remind them they can only do
it by “bolting," for they. have held a c tucus
and said they consider themselves bound by
its decrees. It is worthy of note that the
first journal to recommend a coalition with
the democrat: . and that too, to return a
democrat-to the Senate, is an out and out
Hawley organ, which in the same remarka-
ble article cracks the party whip over the
' shoulders of Mr. Ferry’s friends, tells them
they “will become marked men in the
future,” and that “for ourselves we should
have to possess a much larger degree of the
spirit of forgiveness than we .now have.
before we could for rettlieir want of fidelity
and again support i cut tbr any position of
trust." The threat is an alarming one, it
must be confessed. Would it not be quite
as well for the Hawley organs to stop talk‘
ing wild nonsense and breathing out threai-
enings and slaughter, when one of them,
,ver near Hartford, too, is coolly talking of
ma in a coalition with the democrats to
send overnor English to the Senate?
Some of the Hawley organs have been
drawing inferences from the bogus report of
the democratic caucus compiled by the re-
porter of the Com-ant, and industriously
circulated allover the State. Were We to
imitate them, we might construct a very
ingenious theory out of the remarkable
coincidence that the candidate nominated
by the democrats happens to be the one
upon whom a Hawley organ informs us “it
may be politic for Mr. Hawley’s friends to
unite." As we do not intend to conduct the
campaign in that ,fashion we shall only
regent our advice of the. other day:
“ entiemen keep cool and clear your minds
