.~. The 188t='hn,llrs:of Congress are always in-
'nmpleof an all-night’s session Tuesday,
and the House, not to be out-done, in true
lghéol-boy fashion, sat all night and fooled
.imc' trlfied till late breakfast time yesterday
morning; The Senate got through the Kill
Klux, , the Civil Rights, and Amnesty
" Bill's. Poor Mr. Sumner was caught “nap-
ping,“ and Carpenter perpetrated one of the
most successful jokes in Congressional an-
nals, upon the great Massachusetts Senator,
in the passage of the civil rights bill. It was
'the Senator’s pebmcasurc for which he had
labored, crafted" and fiouudercd'. all winter.
In a moment __or weakness he had retired
from the chamber and sought his couch that
fatal night, whereupon the artful Carpenter
‘ brought up, the~ bill and amended it so as to
leavc‘the Sumner “Hamlet" outVOf. the play,
and thus emasculated,passed his .bill. The
story ruins that a sagaciousAfrican about
the chamber, portending the disaster, rushed
persph-ihgly to Mr. Sumner’s bedside and
summoned his presence back to the Senate!
Be this as ‘it may, he tore into that grave
body—rail the graver for ' it‘s all-night's
‘ » “watching—and learning of the ruin that had
been wrougbtgwith the child of his tenderesl
nursing; fairly roared withjrage and discom-
fiturc. The joke was .a severe and suc-
cessful one, but hardly c‘omporting with our .
- highest ideals of Senatorial honor and
dignity.
THE SUBSIDIES.
The Pacific mail subsidy bill, we are glad
to announce, as having passed. We wish
equal good luck might have attended the
other lines. Were we in Congress, with a
vllte to give, we would, as a practical and
compensating, common-sense business meas-
ure, vote sumclent subsidy to send Otll
Chinaahips ovary whlnstead of once a
month, and twice a week from New York to
Liverpool. This is the true mode of restor-
ing our trained‘ shipping interests, and to
supply a national merchant marine. ELg-
"land hasi‘shown America how- to become
' master of the scas,as by herbounties she has
' driven on American steamers between this
continent and Liverpool. With‘her success
lin"ma‘rilime t'radehud supremacy, before
the eyes of Our legislators, we can‘t for the
life of us see how any intelligent American
can withhold his support from needful and
properly guarded subsidy bills. To our ken,
such governmental aid is of the same prac-
tical wisdom as that of the oyster-man, who
put down his oysters this year worth twen-
ty-five cents the bushel,aud takes them up
unext worth a dollar; or the farmer, who
. dresses his field witbyteu dollars of t'crtiliZers
to reap hundreds in his garnered crop.
Theengrossing interest ‘at the capitol is
the Senate’s executive sessions over‘ the
“Back .Down’ Treaty," as it, is called. A
good deal of Fourth ‘t‘f July fustian has been
expended over our claims for constructive
: damages, but very few honorable and intel-
ligent business men or statesmen have ever
had:any other feeling than that of sincere
regret that so foolish and untenable a claim
should have been foisteOin, to imp ii the
. settlement of what it just in' on claims
against England, and perhaps imperil the-
, 7 peace of two greatnations. . The truly great
man arenation will back squarely out of a
false 'pbsition. 'Hulniliating as it may be,
' and vcxatious beyond forgiveness, yet as
are in the wrong in this matter, and every
honest man knows and feels it, and there is
. no other course than to back out with such
'grsoc as" we cam-but with honor «mum:
The Senate adjourned its secret session, late
on Saturday evening, with the impression
abroad that a severe and healed contest was
being waged. The impression also obtained
lthata' vote had been had and the amended.

Death of Matthew Wilcox.
We are called upon thiswcek to record
the demise or Matthew Wilcox, a prominent
and esteemed citizen of South Norwalk, who
died last Friday in the eighty first year of
his age. For more than hall'a century Mr.
Wilcox has taken active part in local affairs.
We remember-him as a. constant member of
the Board of School Visitors in our boy-
hood days—evcr good natured, pleasant
faced, and always closing up examination:-
with a few cheerful words ofcncouragemenl
and advice. He was an earnest christian,
and for many years an active member ofthl
First '11. F Church. He-lleld the position
of Secretary of the Methodist E. Quarterly
Conference, for score twenty-five or thirty
.years Several times he represented our towl.
t in the General Assembly, and for a numbej
of years was a member of the Board of Se-
lectmen. In the year 1861 he was selected
it a caucus of the Republicans of South
Norwalk for Poschter at that place, and
received his commission from President
Lincoln. He retained the position until his
death. ‘His funeralyas attended yesterday
afternoon, Rev. Mr; Thomas preached tht
funeral sermon, and Rev,'D. A. Goodsell—
his pastor for t ast three years,—makltt,e
an address. Rev. ir. Dunning of the Con-
vices. ‘
Another“ and break is made in the rankstol
our young men, by the death of Spencer
brief and painful illness. He was a boy 01
rue amiahility and worth. He had one o.
the kindest andtruest of hearts; was beauti-
fully artless and ingcnnnus, atld thoroughly
conscientious and Christian. ‘ The profusion
of choice flowers tastefully wrought into ap-
propriate. designs, and used to decorate biz-
casket on the occasion of his funeral, at onct
symbolized the-unsullied purity of his char-
acter, and indilsttes_$the esteem in which he
was held by his nssocialees. While his
death is deeply mourned by the entire circle
of his acquaintance, to his parents especial-
ly the loss of such a son is felt-to be irrepar-
able. Mr. and Mrs. Douglass desire grate-
fully to acknowledge the kindness and sym-
pa'tb'y shown them during this their season
of affliction. "
The long-talked of amateur dramatic per-
formance is to take place at the Opera
House next week Thursday, when “ Solon
Shfilglc” and “ Toodles” will be presented
by local talent. The programmes, with cast
of characters, ctc., willsoon be issued, when
the oft-repeated question “ Who are the per-
formers .9 " will probably be answered.

The Treaty Accepted.
Wasnmo'ron.'May 27.,
A despatcb has just been received at the
State Department from Gen. Schenck,our
Minister at theCourl of St. James,'dated
to-day. ' ' ' - 3
He announces that he has been [notified
by the British government that the amend-
-ed supplemental rule, as adopted by the
Senate, is acceptable.
The treaty, it is believed, will be ratified
by the Senate at once.
We regret that we have not room this
week to print the finding' in the Westporl
Bridge case. It seems to us that our friends
in \Vestport would do a wise thing in ac-
cepting-the decision of the Court, instead of
squandcrirlg more money in law suits. IVe
know there is strong feeling in this matter,
but the bridge has been built and undoubt-
edly will prove a great public convenience,
worth all it cost, and the town in the end
will be the gainer by accepting it now.

- Mr. Geo. II. Rice. announces that he has
secured the'agency forthe town of Norwalk
for the “ Christian Union." There are al-
ready many subscrib s in town to this ex-
cellcut religious wee 'ly, but most of them
have had trouble in securing the promised
chromos of “Wide Awake and Fast Asleep,”
but-Mr; Rice has taken the matter in. hand‘
and is now deliveringthc‘pictures to all who
failed to receve them. He will also take
new subscribers, and deliver paper and pic-
tures promptly. Mr. Rice is an energetic
agent, and is in frequent and direct commu—
nication with the office in New York, and
we have no dOllbt willbe able to carry out
his promises to the letter.' The Christian
Union speaks for. itself, and the chromos
have only to be seen to be admired. How
paper and pictures can be offered, so cheap
is a mystery. Mr. Rice . has on hand the
frames offered by. the. publishers, or. manu-
‘ factures to order to suit individual tastes, at
low rates. Orders can be left at Mr. Rice’s
factory, to his address at the Post. Office, or
at E. Apt-11’s, Wall street.
Mr. Bowles, of the Springfield Republican,
proposes as a ticket for the Philadelphia
convention his two personal friends, Colfax
and .fltlwley. The convention might—
probably will—do a much worse thing' than
that. “Such a‘ ticket,” he says, “would have
special advantages. Butler and Morton and
Conkling ahd Tom Murphy would naturally
- be disgusted With it, and‘ feel like going a.
fishing for the summer." But its clean-hand-
cdness and clear-beartedness would deter-
mine, to it at once many republican votes
that, as between Greeley and Grant, are now
doubtful, but in the end are almost certain
to go for Greeley. It’s names would inspire
a confidence in their discretion and tact
that neither Greeley nor Grant does with a
large portiou'of the republican parly. They
would represent, better‘tlian perhaps any
two men, the best average sentiment of y the
republicans as a party.”

>LETTEX§ FROM SENATOR FEB“ Ya
_ . ii asumo'ront,’May 16, 1872.
Hon. .7. B. Ferris, Stamford, Conn. : .'
MY DEAR Sm : I thank you for your con--
gratulnlions. They are peculiarly gratify-.
ing from so old and valued a friend as your-.
self. I do not know why any . one should
niisapprchend my political position‘on ac-.
count of what has happened. I have never
concealed. my opinions: My record, in the
Senate, is open to everybody. I believe as‘
firmly as ever in the doctrines which I have
advocated for the' last sixteen yells—ever
since the fipublican party had a national ex-
istence. There are' certain ideas, indeed,
which have grown into prominence, since
the passage of the acts of reconstruction, in
which I do not belicilc. I do not believe in
the continuance of political disabilities, other
they have become a need'css and mischiev-
ous irritation without a single good result.
[do not believe in miscnlled “civil rights” ,
bills subversive of local self-government and
destructive of the'school system of whole 1
groupes of States. I do not believe in the re-
cuactulent'of the Ku-Klux law, after it has i
ckpired by its own limitation, and has ac-
complished all that was originally alleged.
to be its purpose. .
The truth is that, since theadoption of the
last three Amendments to the Constitution
of'the United States, and the closing up of
the war question, our foreign relations and
our domestic policy in matters of .finance
and revenue are a sin assuming their natu-
ral prominence; 1‘0 entrust these great in-
tereststo an,administratiouunade up and
controlled by Mr. Greeley Would ‘be'mere‘
midsummer madness, The administration
years has preserved for the nation on hon-
cate and, embarrassing complications, both
with Great Britain and Spain, while that of
the treasury‘bas steadily enhanced the pub.
lic' credit and promoted the business intero'
ests of the country. I do not appreciate the
wisdom of those who, instead of all this,
would press on untenable claim upon-Eng
land at the risk ‘of war; would recognize
contrary to every prirci le-ofinlernalional-
law, and would .diminisr permanently ‘tbe "
specie reserves in the federal treasury to ten.
or'twclvc millions of dollars, til ‘whalever
hazard to the public credit. .' ’ ' T , . ,
There- are other ma‘tters‘to which I might
allude, butlhescare perhaps enough. You
and I will. continue in. the old republican

Box. A. H. Brannon—Dear Sin—A
copy of the Norwalk Guam, of a recent
late, containing an approving notice of my
course in regard to the re-electlon of Senator
Ferry, has just been received. Although
the article was kindly intended, it does no1
correctly represent my conduct or motive!-
in the premises, and I know you will bl
rlcased to make the dire correction. It is
stated in the Gamma that I said in thc
democratic caucus, that I had written to
Senatortirry to know if the support of tilt
democrats, in the legislature, “would bt
lgreeable to him, and if so, what considera-
tion at his bands they might expect,” nut;
that Mr. Ferry promptly replied that “h
was thoroughly republican, and that nothing
that the democrats might do could influencl
either his poliliticalconviclions or actions.”'
It is. added that if. had [answered differently,
I“should have deemed hinra party trimmer
-nd illtriguer, and he never would have my
support." . n ’ ‘
Now it would have been very improper
for me to have asked Mr. Ferry on what
“ooncr'deratrbm” he would receive the demo-
_crlic vote, and it would have been very rude
in Mr. Ferry to say that “nothing the dem-
ocrats might do could influence either hi:
political convictions or actions.” He is to«.
much of a gentleman to- make such a reply
to a kind and complimentary letter. I wrott
to him, with the approbation of_.'some lead-
ing democrats, stating that my political
friends and associates were grateful to him
for. some of the votes he had given and tht
speeches he had made in thecausc of amnes-
ty and local self government, and that whilt'
they would elect a Senator from their own
ranks if they had the power, yet they would
rather vote for him than for any one who
held to different opinions'.ou the subject:
named. Senator Ferry replied, in substance,
that he knew that his opinions and action
on those subjects had met' the approval of
many members of both’ parties, and the fact
gave him great satisfaction. Nevertheless,
'he added, in regard to his reelection, f‘he
was in the hands of his republican friends,
and they must. do With him as they thought
best.” So be neither courted or refused
democratic support. His letter was just
what I hoped for. Had I asked forpledges.
my letter would have been dishonorable to
me. Had he proffered any, they would
have been dishonorable to him. Everything
of the kind Was avoided, and hadl heart
that he had made any pledges to his politi-
have trusted him. These are the facts.
Now for a word or two of comments. Mr
Ferry cannot, with propriety, if he would
treat lightly or with contempt the entirl
vote of the representativesof the democratit
party of Connecticut. They comprise a part
of his legal constituency, whose right:
and interests he is bound by his oath tt
respect and pro-eel: according to his best
judgment. He OWes this allegiance to every
man, woman and child in the State, irre-
spective of party ; and besides all this, tbt
common obligations of gratitudevwili induct
him to frettt,not only with justice but gent--
rosily, the opinions of those, who althougl'
not of his party, were'wiljng to trust him it
the. future for what they had seen of hi:
earnest convictions in the past ; and the)
saw, too, that so long as he remained ll‘llt
to those convictions-the logic of events woull.
inevitably make him one of them, as it did
Senator Doolittle and thousands of others
unless the republican party should changl
it’s policy and come upon his ground, whicl.
. is not probable. This the democrats stil:
believe. Yet they regard the Senator ant.
themselves as free to take their own inde-
pendent course. . _ »
Honor, conscience, and .the public good.
fearless of personal consequences, must b.
the guide of all true men. These considera-
tionsmust guide Senator Ferry, as I know
they will’guide us.’ ' " ' ?

DELPHIA.—AS a mere evidence of the mar-
velous amount ofwork one human brain can
accomplish, without any reference to tht
able, eloquent and exhaustive treatment of
the several subjects considered, this book of
Judge Kelly’s is of surpassing interest.
No member of this man y previous Con-
gress is mofi keenly on the alert in bi:
place, or- more ready to protect and advo-
c-lte all measures of, interest to his State or
and incessant application to Congressional
duty, there is scarce a week passing that be
is apt called upon to address some associa-
tion or advocate some‘causc or popular in
terest, and never a campaign, State, or Na.
tional, that his eloquent voice is not heard
in all parts of the land, and yet amid all the
multiplied duties as orator, writer, and
chicfest Representative of the second great-
est city and state of the Republic, he has
found time to contribute to our solid busi-
ness literature, a'book of over five hundred
pages, replete with, wisdom and practical
common sense. Though composed largely
of his public speeches audnddresscs, there is
nevertheless supplemented a vast amount of
matter bearing upon and elucidating the
questions of protection, labor and reveuut
reform, and kindred subjects.
His letter on the Chinese question andtlle
letter to the operatives in the workshops and
factories of his Congressional District, art
not only models of political epistolatory cor-
respondcnce', but evince the highest attain-
ments in advanced Statesmausbip.
We should be delighted, would our limits
permit, to give copious extracts from the
J udgc’s book. We shall, at the first availa-’
his opportunity, give the letters just referred
to. Meantime, let us_ urge all who feel an
interest in the questions here so hastily out-
lined, to send for the buck itself, hnd ple-
serve it as a ready index and reference upon
subjects n'ow more than ever occupying the
mind and attention of the American people.

Fourth of July Cele hravlorr.
Msssns. Emroaa:
We do not see why Norwalk cannot have a little of
the old spirit of joyfaldess in relation to our Nation-
al Independence. At the present rate of indifference
we sh-lll'forget that this country ever was “free and
independent," or that our siresever struggled to gain
for us the blessings of a free and independent gov"
e'fnment. ' . .
We know some of our people tellus its a “ horrid
both'er," “the weather will be hot," its_ “ noisy,'y
“ we had rather be in some quiet corner under a
. shade,” or some other objection of this kind. Our
impressions are that we could make some sensible
arrangements which‘ would remove some of these
difficulties. Say that we have a military and fire-
men’s procession from s to 10 a.m., then nshort ora-
tion and Other interesting exercises, when we could
rest until evening and then enjoy our tir‘eworlrll, mn-
slc and ice cream, feeling that we hat! done honor to
the "day we celebrate.”
We were fed last year—“ Give up celebration
now," and another year “ we will have a water cele-
bration and Fourth of July celebration together.”
_ Are we to be cheated out of both 7 We trust not,
’and hope-that our leading influential and moneyed
citizens will see to‘ it that steps are taken to have a
sensible remembrance of not only our national inde_
pcndenee, but also an opportunity to feel happy and
Joyful for the provision of water, to our Borough.
Let us have a celebration. MANY CITIZENS.
