Close up the Column!
, Next Tuesday, the question is to be deter-
. mined who is to he the President of this na-
y tion for four years to come.
The merits and
.}demerits of the two candidates have been
discussed with a zeal and rancor, and per-
. sonal bitterness, we hope we may never see
repeated in American politics The question
involved, is a simple one appealing to every
intelligent American citizen and should be
, pettled by the conscience and judgment of
the individual v'oter. The personal charac-
ters of the, candidates are deserving the pub-
_ lie respect and regard as representatichmer-
leans. Their public acts and political opin-
: ions- are the proper subjects of honest ani.
madversion, of approval or ef condemnation -
' We have studiously refrained from this per-
sonal aspersion, which seems to us to have
run riot throughout the present canvas to an
.. exceptional degree. While to us the Repub-
lican principles seem too dear and too sacred
1; to be jeopardizedby any experiments what-
, ,soever, we have not deemed it wise to heap
ridicule or abuse upon such as have tempo-
._-rally left our 'political organization. , We
, may not need the help of such to elect our
candidate:for President but we do and shall
_ peed them in the future, as heretofore, in our
contests in this State, where Republican
sentiments can only he maintained by the
i ascendancy of Republican candidates. It
would seem from all the signs of the times,
that Gen. Grant’s election, like the boy’s
; 'wlristle,was sure to come ofitself,and yet all
past experience teaches that only3in effort
and labor in detail, can any political victory
- be won, when an active and resolute adver-
‘ _sary contest every, point in the way. Little
. time is now left for argument, the columns
should be closed, the last ballot polled, and
then the triumph is ours.

prove a serious' disappointment to the Grec-

this falling off in the number of names on

Woman Suffrage Concerted [by I
the Nor-walk Board-t
Saturday the 26th day of October will _
ever be a memorable day in the history of
this town, if not indeed a memorable day
for the whole American nation and the civ-
ilized world. On that day, appeared beface
our Town Board charged with the duty of‘
admitting electors, Mrs. Sarah M. T. Hun-
tington, who, with an ardent self-conscious-
ness of her right to vote and awoman’s per-
tinacity in urging her right, succeeded in
inducing our Board to administer to her the
Freeman’s oath, and enter her name among
other registered voters. On Tuesday next
she will appear at the polls of the 3d voting
,district, and cast her vote for Presidential
electors the same as any male citizen. Mrs.
‘H. plead her case with an ability that not
only swept away as so many cobwebs the
opposing theories entertained by a portion
of the Board,but bcr arguments would no
doubt have bothered many of our smartest
lawyers to have successfully combatte'd.
Her main reliance seemed to be the 15th
Amendment to the Constitution, which in
her view advanced woman to the enj oyment
of the privileges of suffrage equally with
negroes, and by virtue of that instrument
she denied the right of any law or Constitu-
tion to abridge or deny it.
Selectman Wm. S. Bouton, it is stated,
when her name was submitted as a claimant
‘to be admitted on elector, unequivocally
gave his support to the broad principle that
women are equally with men entitled to
vote. Selectman Joseph P. Hanford was
the next to surrender, and in doing so ad
mitted his inability to controvert her argu-
ments. Selectman Andrew Selleck was
more obdurate, and held out some two hours
on the general ground that usage neither
sanctioned‘or the general interpretation of
the election laws contemplated women be-
ing admitted to the privilege of voting, but
a majority of the Board against him, Mrs.
H.’s unanswerable arguments, and his own
natural gallantry finally overcanre his oppo-
sition. The Town Clerk, Henry K. Selleck,
viewed the matter with still more hesitation,
but'made no objection to a unanimous adv
mission when he found all three of ,the
Selectmen- willing to enter her name as at
least an escape from the long agitated ques-
tion. It was a bold and courageous act, and
if it be an error it is due to them all to state
that it was done in no spirit of frivolty, but
with a sincere and honest hope that some-
how or in some way an authoritative test or
determination 'of the vexed problem might
result from their action. ‘
Another lady soon after presented herself,
hoping to be also made an elector, but as
Mrs. Huntington was the only woman who
had complied with the preliminary legal
requirements, she will enjoy the distinction
of being the only lady in Norwalk, and
probably in the whole Union, who will vote
for the next President. Locally, the prece-
dent thus established has already become in-
tensely interesting. The new Greeley Board
just elected are already trembling in con-
templationof the scores and hundreds of
women who will next year rush upon them
and demand suffrage at their hands, although
it is well known their great chieftain of the
Tribune is irreconcilably 'opposed to any
woman voting. Our town too, and the
Board above mentioned, have thus become
immortalized and famous throughor' the
earth. The electric wires that span the
globe have already flashed the tidings to
earth’s remotest corners. That slimy coil
which quivers beneath the surging billows
of the Atlantic,was tremulous Saturday
night‘with the announcement made to the
European press. Erflly mdy we cbnjecture
the consternation of England’s aristocracy
which has so long battled the onward
woman movement there. La Belle France,
in the morning of her Republican aspira'
tions, and half liberated Spain may well
stand aghast as the announcement conveys
the prophecy of more surrenders to irrepress-
ible popular progess. The Sultan of Turkey,
and the Khedive of Egypt will hereafter
keep closer watch upon the olivebeauties of
their seraglios, and it will be the first and
crowning marvel for Stanley to report in his
next meeting-with Livingstone til Ujiji’.
The most intensely perplexing contingen-
cy about the case now is that Mr. Greeley
may possrbly be elected by the electoral vote
of Connecticut, and those electors be chosen
by the one cote of this woman. In such case
Mr. Greeley, who profoundly maintains that
no woman has the right to vote, would feel
constrained, by' his desire to be President,
to insist that Mrs. Huntington was so en-
titled, aud to transfer himself, bag and bag-
gage over to the camp of the most ultra wing
of the Woman’s Rights Army. We can con-
template nothing more appalling or disas-
trous to the great Tribune editor’s peace of
mind than-such a contingency, and it is only
because of its entire improbabilz'ly that we can
so composedly contemplate its possibility.
But in all seriousness, this occurrence
seems to us one of exceeding gravity. Its
ultimate results are not likely to be limited
to Connecticut, and possibly not alone to the
American nation. Many of our ablest'ch-'
islators, lawyers and publicists have already

W The Hartford Courant has a theory
that incendiary fires are only prevalent in
places where they have a voluntary fire ,de-
partment, and any place by adopting an
efficient paid fire department at once escapes
the torch of the incendiary. Facts though,
stubborn facts, hardly prove the 'truth of
the eram’e theory. Bridgeporthas a paid
department, yet they have incendiary fires
about every other night. New Haven also
has a paid department, yet only on Saturday
night week they had four attempts at in-_
ccndiary fires, making twelve in less than
two months. No,no,Messrs. of the Courant

Pnornsson GARDNER, run SOAP MAN.—
aller an absence of nine years the genial
Professor has returned to Norwalk and will
soon address our citizens. He maintains
his old reputation wherever he goes, as’will
be seen by the following which we copy
from a recent New Haven Palladium:—
“ One of the plcdsantest genial, lively,
quick-witte‘d men of the times is Professor
Gardner. His patent soap has a reputation
equal to his own as a temperance and a
stump-speaker. He is as honest as his soap
is good, and his circulars say that is, good
enough to win medals from kings and letters
of praise from Governors. Here and there
the Professor’s voice is heard in the State,
though New Haven has not seen him for a
long time, and while he sells his soap he
trues hard to do his work toward betterin
hrs fellow men. The Professor cannot
back over hrs life and regret a great deal
that he has done. Perhaps there are not
many of rrs who can say that.”

_ Accident to newer-dc. Bissau. _
, We understand the factsto be these;—
The forward-truck of/bnc of- the cars. of
last, was thrown from the track at the cor-
ner of Forty-second street. After long de-
tention and fruitless effort to replace it by
ordinary appliances, the small engine that
waits on the cars at the Grand Central depot
was brought down through it to render as-
sistance. The lifting door, or gate, at the
southern end was raised to permit its egress,
but not high enough ; so that, in passing
under, the smoke~stack of the engine was
brought in collision with it and thrown
heavily to the ground. Several of the pas-
sengers of the detained train had left the cars
to ascertain thc cause of the delay and watch
the efforts to remove it, and were standing
with others just inside the door of the depot
to avoid the rain. As the engine came down
the track they stepped out near the south-
east corncr. Among them was the Hon.
Wm. H. Barnum, M. C. from thisdistrlct,
and our fellow townsman, both of whom
were struck by the falling stack. The for
mer, we were glad to learn, was not hurt
very seriously. Mr. Bissell was violently
hurlcdto the pavement, whether by a side
blow, or by the terrible cut be received upon
his left foot from the sharp edge of the heavy
pipe, or from both simultaneously, is not
certain; he thinks by the former. The sore-
ness in other parts of his body, and the
abrasion of the skin on the right leg, may
bane been caused by his full. He was
carried by the police to the station'in the
basement, on Vanderbilt avenue, eust_sidc of
the depot, opposite 44th street, and laid on a
stretcher, suffering intense pain and much
loss of blood. Among those who gathered
around him were Mr. Lewis June, of Ridge-
ficld, and Mr. Whitlock, of Birmingham,
who knew him well. Mr. Samuel Northrop
having charge of the cars at the Twenty-
sevcnth street depot, who had been occupy-
ing the same seat in the train with him, and
Mr. J. R. W. Shaplcigb, of Boston and 91
Wall street, and Mr. Henry Lawrence, of the
Merchants' Union Express and 49 East 9th
street, New ‘I ork, who were entire strangers
but vied with his friends in the most tender
and unremitting attentions. Policeman
Gleason was dispatched for his brother, Rev.
S. B. S. Bisscll, at the rooms of the American
Sunday-schoal Union in the Bible House,
and a physician, Dr. Allen, was summoned,
who applied restorativcs, and sent for one
finally and fortunately’Dr. Samuel B. \Vard
of 206 West 42d'Street, and one of the sur-
geons connected with the new Presbyterian
(Lenox) , Hospital, was obtained. He
earnestly advised his being borne to that
admirable institution, but gracefully yielded
to the wishes of the sufferer and his brother
and accompanied him to his home in Nor-
wulk. In the meantime a dispatch was sent
to Dr. Lynes, and Mr. F. H. Wiscwell, a very
kind friend from the American Sunday-
scbool Union, came up on the 3 o’clock
train to prepare for his reception here.
Mr. Northrop provided a special car and
sent it up into the Grand Central depot, fur-
n'ished with a stretcher, and to it the sufferer
was tenderly cgrried by friends and four
policemen, Who deserve grateful mention.
He bore the journey well, and with that
manly pluck and Christian fortitade which
had won-the admiration of all beholders at
the station. Every arrangement was made
for him at Winnipauk, where the special car
was switched from the Ridgeficld train upon
the side track, and instantly surrounded by
a crowd of sympathetic friends and neigh-
bors, who gently lifted the stretcher and
bore him in procession to his house. ~Dr.
Lyncs and Dr. Barbour were in waiting.
He was speedily put under the influence of
ether and chloroform, in which couditionhe
was kept’by Dr. Barbour while Drs. Lynes
and Ward made a careful and thorough ex-
amination, which disclosed the crushing of
the lowerbones and tendons, and by their
concurrent advise and the consent of rela-
tives, resulted in the amputation of the foot,
by disjointing by the knife alonc,at the instep
joint, the operation being very skilfully and
neatly performed by Dr. Ward, assisted by
Dr. Lynes. The sufferer continued insen-
siblc until all was over and the WO (1
thoroughly dreSscd, When made aware f
what had been done, he submitted without a
murmur, cheerfully conversed with his fam-
ily, and in intervals of severe pain obtained
snatches of sleep during the night. His con-
dition remains satisfactory to the boilr of
going to press. '
Never have} we known a similar misfor-
tune to so thoroughly arouse the sympathies
” of a whole community, or to elicit such uni-
versal expression of regret.
But a few months ago Mr. Greeley dc-
elared through the Tribune that there was
no office under heaven that would tempt
him to forage the advocacy of protection.
He finally managed to accept the nomi-
nation of the free trade convention by get-
ting it to pass a resolution referring the
question to the Congress districts, and now
his paper is supporting every free trade
candidate for Congress and opposing every
protectionist! This eminently honest man
has sold out his protection principles for a
nomination to the presidency, and the
journal which so long and so fiercely
prosecuted the war against the Free Trade
League, has become one of its allies.

. The Hon; Truman Smith, in a letter to a
bute to General Grant and his administra-
tion: .
“ Certainly no favors received or expected
have prompted me to support the re-elcction
of President Grant. I have acted on a thor-
ough conviction that the highest and best
interests pf the American people require
that an unprincipled coalition should be put
down, and an administration, in main up-
right and patriotic, should be upheld.
Very soon after the administration was or-
ganized, the purpose was formed and
brought into activity to break down and
destroy President Grant, by inccssant cal-
umny and abuse. The infamous New York
Sun, conducted by the, infamous Charles A.‘
Dana, opened upon the President, and has

Consciousness of unbelief is a sign of'
actual faith. lnfidels are never troubled
with unbelief. Dead men never feel cold.-
Frozen feet never ache. And a soul ivcn

in sin,bas no trouble with unbelief. _It is
only when faith shoots its first illuminating
ray into the darkened heart that the b‘alcful
presence of unbelief is made manifest. It is
only when. the troubled soul can say, “I do

Acorrespondent of the Chicago Trzbune
states that the poison from the bite of a mad
dog can be eliminated from the system by
vapor baths. He quotes from an article
printed ina Paris medical journal by Dr.
.Buisson, a-cclcbratcd French surgeon, who
says : “If the disorder has declared itself, I
prescribe azsin'gle bath, and leave the pa-
tient in, until a cure is effected. Hydro-
phobia may last three days. ~ Experience
has prove’d'to me that a cure is_ certain on
the first day of the outbreak; on the second
day,‘doubtful;.and on the third, hopeless,
on accoimt of the difficulty of conveying
the-patient to thebath and keeping him in._
And as hydrophobia never breaks out be-
fore the seventh day, there is time to per-
form a long journey to obtain a bath."- Since
hydrophobia is become so common a malady
this is worth remembering.

Pleasuree ofan Ocean Voyage.
I have listened in mydtime, with more or
less pleasure, to the very rollicking songs
about the sea, the flashing brine, the spray
and t e tempest’s roar, the wet sheet and
the ing sea,a life on the ocean wave,
and/all the rest of it. To paraphrase a land
proverb, lct me write the songs of the sea,
andI care not who goes to sea and sings’
cm. A square yard of solid ground is worth
miles of the pitching; turbulent stuff.“ Its
inabilityto stand still fer one second, is the
plague of it. To lie on deck when the sun
shines, and swing up and down, while the
waves run hither and thither, and toss their
white caps, is all well enough ; to lie in
your narrow birth and roll from side to
side allnight long; to walk up-hrll to your
state-room door, and, when you get them:
find you have got to’thcbottom of the hill,
and opening the door islike lifting up a trap-
door in the floor; to deliberately start for
some object, and before'you know it, to be
flung against it like a bag of sand; to at-
tempt to sit down on your sofa, and find
you are sitting up; to slip, and slide, and
grasp at everything within reach, and to
meet everybody leaning and walking on a
slant, as if a heavy wind were blowing, and
the laws of gravitation were reversed ; to lie
in your berth, and hear all the dishes on the
cabin-table go sensing ofi‘ against the wall
in a general smash; to sit at the table hold-
ing your soup-plate. with one hand, and
watching your chance to put your spoon in
when it comes high tide on your side of the
dish;t0'vigilantly watch ,the lurch of the
heavy dishes while holding your glass and
your plate and your knife and fork, and not
to notice it whcn'B'rown, who sits next you,

Brown can assume on such an occasion ; ' to
see Mrs. Brown advance to the table, sud-
denly stop and hesitate, two waiters rush at
her; with whom she struggles wildly, to go
down in a heap with them in the opposite
corner ; to see her partiaily rccover,but only
to shoot back again through her state-room

Mrs. Livermore says: “When any one
comes to you and says that for twenty-five
or thirty yeisrs of married life not a cloud
has come over them, not a' hard word has
been uttered, the whole time has been one
of perfect happiness and a honeymoon, take
it with a large discount. If people were
idiots I would believe it possible for them
to get along with a sloppy efl‘usivcness to
the end. Bpt for people of iudependend
minds and strong wills it is not always easy
to bend. People that truly love each other
sometimes come into collision like a couple
of locomotives. The part of wisdom is then
to recedc, take notice of their mistake, and
avoid it for the future. Quietly to endure ;
never, moor to disclose any family secret -to
any one; this is the true way to make a mar-

. After'v'reading, three or four paragraphs
about recently contested wills we came to a
notice of the last statement. of Mr. Seward.
We might have predicted that it would turn
out to be, as we are told that it is, “a clear,
succinct document, singularly free .from
legal teclrnicalities.”_ Mr. Seward was not
only a lawyer, but a clear-headed and care-
ful one, so that it was safe for him to do
what it is'most dangerous for most to (lo—n
.write his own will. This, however, is some-
thing which no non-professional. person
should attempt; that is, if he intends a dis-
position of his estate in any way requiring
a will at all. We do not mean to say, how-
ever, that it is always safe to go to a lawyer,
since 'it is quite possible that he may b'e
either ignorant or careless. There are two
ways, however, of avoiding all trouble.
The first is, to dispose of your estate while
living; the second, and best perhaps, is to
leave the distribution to the law. If the
last course requires you to forgive injuries
and to do good to those who may have des-
a
_ pitefully used you, so much the better!

“ Educate men without religion," said the

to excel in forms of kuavery which the ig'

from being devoted to base purposes. There
is but one answer—circuit culture. The mor-

the horse disease now raging is not uncom-

ment is very simple and cfl‘eclual. Sulphur
is used as a prophylactic. A few ounces of
common sulphur are burned on a pan of
coals five or six times daily so that evcrv
part may become fumigated. The animal lit
at the same time is well cared for and blan-

Opinion of a Veterinary Surgeon.
NEW Yonx, Oct. 25.—It is the opinion of
a veterinary surgeon that the distemper may
not prove fatal, but the horses willzsufi'er
some time from weakness.
The sanitary committee rcportcd to the
board of health yesterday that the disease,
though general, is not fatal or contagious.
The course of it' seems to be, say, Friday,
the animal appears weak; Saturday, worse;
Sunday, the malady attains its climax;
Monday, the horse improves ; Tuesday, it is
nearly fit for work. . .
The effects upon business have not yet
been very severely felt, but already the cost
of draying cartage in some cases has risen
to war prices.

hundred strong—every uniform—notwith-
standing thc unpleasant weather. Both
companies took passage in the favorite
steamer Nelly Wits, which left the wharf
at seven o‘clock. The trip over was made
without special incident, the boys enjoying
a lively time, and no delay'or accident what-
ever occur-lug to mar the pleasures of the
occasion. Rounding into Bgidgcport har-
bor a very pleasing view was presented by
etc. Arriving at the wharf at 9 o'clock,
were received by marshals, and promptly
ushered into line which was being formed
close by in Water street. The New Haven
companies having just arrived the procession
was complete, and started without delay,
passing through many of the leading streets
of the city and East Bridgeport.
The residcnces and places of business
along bclinc were brilliantly illuminated,
and handsomely decorated, and the streets
were throngcd with ladies, gentlemen and
children who received the procession with
enthusiastic cbeers,waving of handkerchiefs,
discharge of fireworks, 850. Many in line
were astonished to find Bridgeport such a
beautiful place, and—before they completed
the line of march, a city of such magnificent
distances. The illuminations seemed almost
universal, nearly every house being par-
tially or'l‘ully illuminated, frbm the small
borne of the laborer to the palace of the cap-
italist. Many of the decorations wcrc club-
orntc, and quite a number of exquisitely ar-
ranged tableaux were witnessed _on the line
and delighted the bebolders. ‘
It was a general remark that a Greeley
procession passing over that line of march
would have a dark time of it, for there was
certainly not much left to illuminate. The
procession itself was remarkably fine, com-
prising companies from New Haven, Water-
bury, Ansonizr. Birmingham, Stratford, Nor-
'vaalk and Bridgeport, with six bands and
several drum corps, numbering altogether
from '1,500 to 1,800 men. Norwnlk had
reason to. be proud of her companies, for
there were none in lrnc composed of better-
material, larger in number, better drilled or
making a better appearance. Each com-
pany was preceded by good marching music
and handsome banner. Tire Tanners had
two large men dressed as Indians for Pio-

tention.

The following case for violation of the
new liquor law will be found of interest to
all parties:
Henry Liski was convicted on the 30th. in
New Haven, for violating the license law,
and a point arose which will be of interest.
Judge Harrison said that as the law read
“ any person who shall sell.” etc. Now
Liski did not sell and take money on the
spot, and hrs counsel tried to clear him on
that ground. The Judge said that if such a
defence could prevail, the law would be
substantially a dead letter, for in no case
would liquor be sold and payment directly
received, but there would be a certain under-
standing as to future payment. Or a per-
son would buy a plate of crackers and
cheese, with the liquor thrown in. In
Liski’s case, he claims that be treated them
to a bottle of wine, though one was a total
stranger. So that it will be understood that
giving or loaning liquor will not clear a
person. Tbejudgeimposcda fine of $100
which he said would be the lowest penalty

Q>+—-————
TAXATION—The rate of taxation in Hart-
ford is felt to be very heavy, and the Cour-
ant says the burden of" taxation there is
very much greater and more severe than in
any other city in New England. They
want a system of equalization, and says:
“By comparison it appears that while Bos-
ton pays $11.70 on every $1,000 in the grand
amount. If ‘all.property was put in the
list on an equality, the lists here would be
increased and the rate of taxation would be
reduced correspondingly, and in this reduc-
tion the ruiddlc class. of property holders
would be‘ very much relieved.” In New
Haven the rate is $16.50 to every $1,000,
and this notwithstanding the great outlays
for public improvements. -
