“ONCE FOR ALL.”
The circumstances attending Senator
Funnv‘s re-ciection are so familiar it is need-
less that we should attempt further details.
Suffice it then, uonce for all," to say that
' nothing has occurred to compromise thafideiflll
quohator FERRY, or any of Ms friends, to
genuine Republicanism. He will be no loss
‘ an earnest and consistent party man than
‘before, nor do the democrats or “liberals”
of Connecticut expect that he will. Neither
do we believe the sore defeat experienced by
Gen. Hawley will produce any different
effect upon him. We greatly misjudgc if
both are not found on the stump this fall
, battling vigorously and manfuiiy for the
nominees of the Republican Convention,
whoever they may be. .
Gen. Hawley is too much a man and to
ripe a politician not to profit by this tem-
porary defeat. The hard things uttered in
the heat of an angry contest should nowtbe
forgiven and forgotten. Those republicans.
who “bolted” the caucus .did so from the
most conscientious convictions of duty
They are as incapable of dishonorable action
» as any men in Connecticut. They are as‘
sincere and true in their devotion, to Repub-
lican principles as any who live. There
. was no “Grant," no “Greeley." or the slight-
est truckling to the democracy to win their
aid, as all. men not blinded by passion or
prejudice thoroughly know. They' deemed
ita wrong and an unmcrited stigma upon
a faithful public servant that he should be
'deposed, colitrary to custom, for no other
reason in the world than that another
' wanted the place. They believed, in all
sincerity, that the people of the State had not
withdrawn their confidence from their Sen-
ator, and that a very large majority of tie-
publicans desired him to be retained in the
position where he had reflected so much
. honor upon his party and our good common-
wealth. ,
Down deep in the hearts of these men pre-
vailed the incradicable belief that an undue
and unmanly advantage was sought to be
taken of the circumstance of the Senator's
ill health. In no way could they account
for‘the persistent magnifying of his illness
' beyond all truthful proportions. except it
were to, force a partial popular approval of
a change. The New York Times, with an
. impertinence only equaled by its indecency,
very conspicuously labored to manufacture
such a public sentintent for Connecticut.
“’0 are gratified in learning that the gross
brutality of its closing correspondence re-
ceived the condemnation of Gen. Hawley as
well as of his friends. '
But enough of this. That the best interests
of the party, the state and the nation have
been subservcd, and that the masses of our
people are gratified with the result are mat-
ters of conscientious belief with those whose
honest faith at least,juslified their action.
filled it been Gob. Hawley, instead of Senator
FERRY, upon whom this “supplaniing” pro-
cess had been attempted, the Republicans of
Fairficid county would, we are sure, have
evinced equal indignation at the attempted
wrong. How the inconsiderate Zeal of
friends, or Gen. Howley’s ow" desires for
office, could have thus overbornc his native
maguauimity of character is a marvel to
many of his warmest friends and admirers.
We believe he will come to consider his
candidacy a'mistakc and soon regret, if he
' does not now, acting so unhandsomely
toward a friend. His closing words, in a
late Com-ant .articlc, upon this subject,
evinces the latent nobility of his nature,
merits an .l will receive the cordial endorse-
ment of every Republican hereabouts :—
“The State of, Connecticut must not be sur-
rendered to any form of sham democracy.
Nothing can happen to justify sourness or
retirement. Duty is perpetual."

The complaint is universal that our Supt.
of Highways has not ordered a general “rak-
ing out" of our roads. They are filled with
cobbles to an extent never before seen, out
ofthe village as well as in, and these at
least ought to be removed, if no other fixing
is done. ’i‘ho‘radical defect with our entire
road system is that they are mainly farmed
out to farmers who cannot find time to re-
pair them until late in the season, or until
their plantiurr and haying are over. Titus
we have p roads all summer, and good
ones in the fall to be spoiled by winter
storms and frosts.
Returned.
T. H. Morison and family have returned
from their winter’s sojourn at Nassau. Our
friend looks as pictlioric and robust as of
yore, and well he might, in a climate which
shows an atmospheric variation of less than
ten degree in six months, to say nothing of
the healthful entertainment always supplied
by Consul Chance. Mr. Morisou’s return is
very opportunc,as his services are very much
needed in assisting to hurry up our water

Our Water works.
On Tuesday last we'visited the upper ree-
e vain, and found the work there rapidl}
approaching completion under the managt -
mcutof Messrs. Welch and. Nyland. Thi-
g 'anitc part of the dam will probably be'_all
up this week, and then it is to be filled up
and graded with gravei,a short job. We
were much pleased with the appearance of
the work at this place, the massive granitz
val] giving evidence both of great strength
and good worktmtnship, and we feel confi-
dent that whatever happens to any other
part of the works, the dam will be found to
be a fine success. The contractors are do;
serving of praise for the manner in which
the work has been carried on and finished
up.
We rode up in company with acting
Supt. Cotter, who, before starting—the dis
tributiug reservoir on Step Hill being full—
had shut ofl‘thc water so there would be
full presure on the main line of supply pipe
until he reached the upper reservoir, about
6 miles and shut the gate there. No ap-
pearance of any break was found anywhere
along the line, notwithstanding the man}:
reports in circulation of bad breaks at dif-
ferent joints. Everything proved satisfac-
tory in the highest degree to Mr. Cotter,
and the result showed us conclusively
that our people Would do well to discredit
the numerous reports floating about the
streets. About half the water in the distrib—
uting Reservoir was drawn ofi‘ last week
in order to fix me of the pipes and to
puddle a few feet of the embankment near
the gate house—a work which- mity delay,
for a short time, the testing of the distribu-
ting pipes.
The supply water pipes are being-laid
down as far as the “St. John Place,” on East

building was entirely destroyed, including a

The Bridgeport Standard has the follow-
ing account of G. A. Wells’ Distribution,
which is advertised in another column :—«
A NEW THING UNDER THE Sum—How
two dollars could be given for one, would
have puzzled Solomon, who declared there
was “ no new, thing under the sun.” But
our townsman, Mr. Geo. A. Wells, is work-
ing out that problem. From the extraordin-
ary facilities that Mr. Wells" travels and.
acquaintances in Europe have given him for
purchasing in large quantities at immensely
reduced prices for cash, added to this gentle
man’s well known Yankee tact and shrewd-
ncss in “bargaining,” he has succeeded in
landing upon our shores a vast. amount of
useful and ornamental goods, in great vari-
ety, most of which lie-can afford to sell at
less than one-half the usual price. To these
he has added his houses, lands. vineyards
and building lots, as well as [bank stocks,
United States bonds, horses, cattle, yachts,
boats, diamonds, watches, chronomgtcr. his
splendid gallery of oil paintings. in fitct, all
of his valuable personal property which his
removal to Europe renders it necessary to
dispose of. .
While he sells one-half of the property at-
such cheap roles he is able to give one free
share in the distribution of the other half
for each dollar‘s worth of goods- purchased,
thus giving to somebody for only one dollar
his dwelling houses elegantly furnished,
worth $18,000, while thousands of others
receive for one dollar awards of $9,000, $3,-
000, $2,000, $1,600, $51,500, $1,000, ctc., down
to one i undrrd dollars and less. This mighi
all be easily, accomplished if many other
thousands of persons paid their (lt liar and
got. pothing in return, but the peculiarity of
Mr. Wells‘ gigantic enterprise is, that all
persons receive their'fuil dollar’s worth of
property at the time of purchase, and are
presented with the shares in the distribution
besides.
Mr. Wells fully sets forth in his mani-
festo, published in our columns to-day, and
even more fully in his small bills the marina
operand-II by Which he is able to perform this
achievement. I: is indeed as Mr. Wells says
“Everybody gains, while nobody loses, or
risks a fulfilling!” It is fortunate that Mr.
Wells is so careful to explain why and how
he can (to what he promises, and to show
that this is band jc'a'e, and not to be confound-
ed with lotteries, gift enterprises, or other
schemes ofehanco. _ ' A
It must be gratifying to Mr. Wells that all
of our leading and most respected citizens
have voluntarily certified that he is an honor-
able and substantial gentleman, forty years
a. resident of Bridgeport, and that his valu-
uabie houses and real estate are entered at
no more than t_ircir,fai' value. We have
no questim. that. the shares in this Grand
Distribution will go off like hot cakes, and
that. at an early day Mayor .Goodscll and
the D1 ‘ ributittg CommiticerofSititrcltoldrrs
of r; , l lli‘ is Chairman, will commence
their pleasant duties of placing more. than
half a million or dollars in the hands
of those who. had already received
full value for each dollar expended.

a‘ren. Ferry has occasion to feel proud of
the devotion of his friends in Fairficld
County. With the exception of twu mem-
bers who misrepresented their constituents,
every voteiu the county was cast for the
Senator. Every- conceivable expedient had
been resorted to to break the column but
without success. The men who took their
stand for the re-elrction of Gen.Fcrry did so
with their eyes open; and after looking over
the whole ground, and tltcyqvcre not to be-
buliicd or win-edicd out of it. We must. ad-
mire their courage and rejoice that so litany
from our own Count were found ready to
stand with them. 'lhey are standing fora

to the State, and there is more honor in u, -

From the Ashtabulo Ohio Telegraph.
The Connecticut Senato’rship is in a fair
way to lead to a little livclincss. Senator
Ferry,_who has filled the place so honora-
bly to his State and the nation, is likely to
have an earnest competitor in Governor
llawley. Though an able and Wm thy man
enough, we can see nothing to be gained by
an exchange. On die other hand, there are
good reasoas for the continuance of a tried
and faithful public servant, the stronger for
the experience that has been gained in the
routine of public business. Senator Ferry,»
too, is in the prime of life, and his powers
ofusefulness in fullplny, and an interrup-
tion ot‘theirexercise, we can not but look
upon as much to he regretted. We earnest-
ly hopc he may be retained.
