MOW EDITORIAL LETTER, WASHINGTON, Jan. 11, 1873. DEAR GAZETTE :—The session reopened, after the hOliday recess, with all other Con~ gi-cssional interest subordinated to the Credit Mobilier Investigation. which it was voted to continue with open doors. While it is probably a fact that those Congressmen who ' undertook to profit by this stock had no idea at. the time of subscribing of doing any- thing diam-editable, their subsequent wigs gliugs and twistings has had the effect be-' . fore the country of a practical confession of guilt. The whole truth, frankly told, when this matter was first mooted, would have saved several public men from distressing embarrassment, and Congress from a very disreputable scandal. A second investiga- tion has been ordered, reaching to the con- dition of the Union Pacific Railroad, and to charges of robbery and fraud practiced upon the company by this Mobilicr Corporation. It is determined to send for thcbooks and papers Of both corporations and. institute a thorough overhauling. If this be done, we are promised a mine of richness which will cast the excitement consequent upon the complicity of Congressmen, quite in the shade. We shall see what we shall see. There is a disposition apparently innate in human nature, tO exaggerate wrongs, and it is an answering proverb that even Satan is ' Flrn Congregational Church. At the meeting of the Congregational Society, held yesterday, itwas voted to con- ‘cur with the Church in rc_-extcud@ a call to Rev. Mr. HOngh, and a committee has been appointed to visit Franklin and confer withtlic reverend gentleman. Mr. Henry Seymour has been elected lo the office of Deacon in the‘ First Congrega. tionnl church. Rev. Joseph Sanderson, D. D., formerly pastor of the Stanton . St. Presbyterian church, New York, and who has now under consideration a call fromrthe Congregation- al church in Westport, occupied the pulpit .Of the First Congregational church on Sun- daylast, preaching mornin afternoon and evening. . _' ' Next Sunday, Rev. Dr. Dutcher, of New Jersey,_is expected to preach. _ A Congregational amiable is to to beheld at the residence of W. L. Quintard,’on Main street, on Wednesday evening. ' m Our community was startled, Sunday morning, by the announcement of the sud- den death of Mr. Zalmon,Lyon,an aged and esteemed resident, long identified with the halting business ii? this vicinity. He had been unwell for some days, but. was able to be out on Thursday last. On Sunday mor- ning he 'was attacked with the hiVCS. 01‘ croup, and died before he could obtain relief.

Thomas’s Orches- tra, at the Opera House, last Tuesday even- ing, was attended by One of the finest audi- ences ever gathered together .at a musical entertainment in this vicinity. In addition to our own people, there were many present from Danbury, Stamford and other towns. The concert passed off to the delight of all, not so black as he' is painted. The Senator Caldwell investigation is be- ing conductedby the Senate committee, and a five hours session was held yesterday. A large number of witnesses are' here from Kansas, and the major portion of, the testi- mony thus far shows how much easier it is to bring charges of corruption against our public men than it is to prove them. Senator Buckingham has. introduced the following'bill for a free banking act : Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatimof the United States of America in Congress assembled : ' - ~ That the not entitled “An act to provide a national currency secured by a pledge of United States bonds, and to provide for the circulation and redemption thereof,” ap. proved June third, eighteen hundred and sixty-four, be, and the same is hereby de- clared to be, open and free for banking, and any and all persons are at liberty to organ- ize banking associations at such places as . they shall judge proper in accordance with the progision of said act, and of. other acts relating to national banking associations. Sec. 2. That all banking , associations are prohibited from paying interest, directly or indirectly, on any and every description Of deposits. The reserve which-banking ass0' , ciations are required to hold, under thcpro- visions and conditions Of the act to which this is supplementary, may include such United States bonds as bear interest payable in coin, as well as lawful money of the - United States. - All banking associations sballTedeem their circulating noteslat such localities as are now, or may be hereafter, designated by law, either in coin or in United States interest-bearing bonds, at pan with accrued interest, at the option of the associations. » Sec. 3. That United States legal-tender notes, in sums of" one! thousand dollars and its. multiple, shall, on demand by the holder thereof, be redeemed by the Treasurer of United States, either with coin or with United States bands, the principal of which shall be payable onI-demand in legal-tender notes, and the interest on which shall be payable semiannually, in coin, at the rate of three and sixty-five one hundredths per ccutum per - annum, at the option of the Treasurer; and the principal of any United States bonds bearing interest payable in coiushall, on demand by the holder thereof, be paid by the Treasurer of theUnitcd States in legaletender notes, and the interest in coin.

' Day before. yesterday he delivered quite an“ able and elaborate argument in support of his measure. It is scarcely to be expect- ed that it can be got through before adjourn- ment, and if it could, would no doubt be so_ changed byamendment that its originator would scarce recognize his bill. There are believed to be mOrc currency doctors in Con- gress than anywhere else on the globe. . Gen. Hawlcy made an eloquent and stirring speech yesterday in‘ the House, in Opposi- tion to the payment to disloyal Southern claimants the moneys, assigned to them by the Court of Claims for cotton seized, sold and conveyed into the Treasury subsequent to Lee’s surrender. The general is one of the most engaging speakers in that body, and his yesterday’s speech is highly praised although his opposition did not prove avail- ing. , , - The Female Suffragists are preparing to’ carrythe capital by storm, and the “week of prayer” is tO be followcdby their annual convocation.

We give below one or two notices of Mrs. Gulaghcr’s suco ccss in a recent concert at Irving Hall, in renderinga par‘of the Opera. of Lurlinc :— From tluc Post. Mrs. Gulaghcr sang most charmingly. Her exquisitely sweet and effective voice proved well fitted to the graceful melodies which Wallace has so freely lavished upon this opera ; and in the brilliant song, ‘Takc this Cup of Sparkling Wine,’ she was enthusi- astically cncored. Altogether, this poi» formanccs will do much to enhance the reputation oers.

A first~class hotel is much needed in this town, and will not only be a great improvement butapublic benefit Mr. W. proposes to raire a joint stock company, with a capital of eighty‘or one hundred thousand dollars, which amount he thinks will be sufilcient to carry out the proposed plan, i. c. to build a hotel Of one hundred or one hundred and twenty-five rooms; the present hotel to be moved back to give room for the new one. The present house ’ can easily be rented to private families for one thousand 'Or fifteen hundred dollars a year. His plan is to build up the whole front on Wall street, with stores underneath; four stores that will rent forflone .thousand dollars each,— and he will subscribe liberally to the capi- tal stock. It is a "desirable property—a beautiful place forahotel and convenient ' for stores—lthe best in town. The inhabi- tants should rejoice in the enterprise and subscribe . the amount Of- stock, at once, so that the work may' go forward early this Spring. Who. ever embarks‘on board the old ship' enterprise, Mr. Weeks will land them" safe on shore; he is a man 'of' few words,a good financier,'movcs carefully and makes no mistakes; he thinks the stock will pay ten percent. Idon’t know why it will not, for the rent of the stores and ' of the present hotel for private families will pay five per cent on one hundred thousand dollars: the hotgl will pay five per cent. more, and that makes it a geek! investment.- Every merchant and grocer should take right hold and subscribe from one to two thousand dollars‘ each to'the capital stock. The amount of stock subscribed is to be paid into the treasurer, when elected, as necessi- centage-on the fiamount subscribed, as the work progresses.

' “ hli'lre and Super-heated Steam. Mussus. EDITons.+-There have been so‘ inany theories advanced, regarding'super- heated steam as a cause of the origin of the late fires, we beg to say a few words about the matter. . ' - Fire Marshal _McSpedon (who ought to be recognized as good authority,) attributes the cause to superheated steam in many case's. He says he can prove that after steam is shut off the pipes are liable to be- come réd hot, and will do so if '_any person will go to his ofiice, .&c., &c. Now, Mr. Editor, we have not been to his office nor do ' we believe his theory, . nor do we think any person does who has ‘had any practical experience On the subject. To believe it' would be to set aside all the well-known and established physical laws regarding “heat” and “steam.” In fact We believe it to be absolutely false,and is either the result Of unpardonablc ignorance on the subject or the most remarkable. misunder- standing, or it is one of those inexcusable misstatements which arelsometimes purpose- ly introduced by dishonorable persons into newspapers, which do a vast deal of mis- chief in misleading and alarming the public. .We'do not say that Mr. McSpedou did it to alarm the public, but that his card has done a great deal to alarm and cause a‘ vast deal ,of trOuble and expense, none can doubt. But we are happy to. see that his wonderful theory‘is notsustained by any persons who may be looked upon as authority on the subject, not .even his predecessor, cx-Fire Marshal Baker, who very" quaintly remarks that “his theory does not hold water.” If we look'iuto thetheory of the mattcrit may,help us in our practical Observations. The sensible heat or temperature of steam. (or that which is indicated by the thermom- eter) at the boiling point is 212° Fah., at which temperature it begins to exceed the atmospheric pressure, and the temperature ,an, t‘ZOO‘poundspressure. is 387.§°‘ we wish tO find the temperature of stea my the pressure being given, it may he found by the following rule: Multiply the 6th root of its force in inches of mercury by 177, mainder will give the temperature in de- grees “tah.”r .- - ~ Now, the usual pressure allowed for low pressure or warming apparatus, such as was probably used at Barnum's Museum, is 1% to 5 pounds per' square inch,but even admitting they' had 200 pounds per square inch, it would have required about 350° ad- ditional to ignite charcoal or carbonized wood. Under these circumstances a far more fatal result would have been the con- sequence,viz.: a boiler explosion. In fact Mr. Editor, it would be impossible to obtain, such atemperature under any steam appa- ratus made. In all of this we have been speaking of saturated steam, or the steam that is formed and used ,in its normal con dillon. ' Superheated steam,or dry steam as it is best known pmong practical men, is saturated steam passing over or through pipes when additional heat is applied to it ,from some other Source after it has led: the boiler where' it was generated. It is mostly used for its mechanical results as a gain-in fuel when needed as a motive power. It does not heat itself , Steam has no .inherentpowcr to gen- erate heat. If there is such‘ a thing as super- heatcd' steam in warming apparatus which we question, it"must be heated by, raised .in temperature it must be borne in mind that the pressure is increased, at a cor- responding ratio, with the above rate. ,The‘whole theory of Mr. McSpedon is erroneous,.and should be rejected by all,- bht especially by those that it isintcndedto injure. - ' ‘ R, .Nouce Extruordlna ry.

" ‘ New York, New Haven ac'flartford - Railroad. . . . NEW HAVEN, Jan 9th. The first annual meetin of the stock- liolders Of the New York, ew Haven and Hartford Railroad company was "held in Brewster Hall, Wednesday the 9th. There was quite a large attendance. The meeting was called to order by the president, Wm, D. Bishop, and he remarked that_‘as the re- port had been printed, and was ready for oistribution, there was no‘ need of reading t. Mr. Goodwin, member of the Statc' legis- lature from East Hartford, at this point arose and said that before an election was held he would like to call attention to some facts which did not appear in the Directors’ re ort and which were not generally known. , Ir. Goodwin said that he was placed in a position last year where it became neces- sary for him to make some inquiries, andlie did attempt to make them at the annual meeting, buttthat meeting adjourned before he had a. chance to do so. He then remark- ed that an auditor; had been elected by the stockholders to audit the accounts. This be supposed had been done, buthe did not find the auditor's certificate in the report. He wished to know why that had been omit- ted. Therc was another fact which did not appear in the report, and that was the re- ceipt of some $250,000which did not ap- pear in the report. Again there was the same amount of expenditures which did not appear. He also desired to know how much money had been paid to the Harlem road during the year, and there was also a deficit of some $389,000 which had not been ex- plained, although it was on the. company’s books, 1,900 shares of the stock had been put down at$100 per share when the mar- ket valuewas about $140, making a differ- ence of some $40,000. Again the real es- tate had been put down at $700,003, being $592,000 more than in the previous year, and there does not appear any correspond- ing account of any real estate having been purchased. . ' He believed that One-fifth of the gross earnings ofthe Harlem road came from the New York, New Haven & Hartford road, and he thought that all these lookedos if 'the road was run more in- the interest of ,Vanderbilt than Of the stockholders. He then Offered a resolution to the effect that a committee of inquiry into the Condition of the road be appointed and requested to re- port by March 5th. President Bishop said he knew very little about the accounts. These were on- trusted to n bookkeeper and treasurer, and ue‘p'resumed that ,these gentlemen kept the accounts in a fair and straightforward man- ner. These accounts have been audited by Mr. Henry White, and he has found them to be correct. The company had never in- cluded in‘ their was receipts the amount paid to the, Bar cm road, that being their sharcof the receipts for running Over their track into New York, and therefore if it was published it could make no difference with lhc. accounts of the company. The present Officers were not responsible for the amount paid to the Harlem road. That had been arranged by contract in 1849, subject to adjustment every five years, and there- fore thc ofiicers- could not avoid the contract if they would. Whether it‘was too much or too little he could not say. . But it was the only entrance they could have into New York. The Harlem mass is ‘-now about to spend $4,000,000 sinking their track, and any new route into New York would cost at least $20,000,000. The gen- tleman from East Hartford has said that the company has paid nineteen per cent. on its capital stock, but the officers of the com- pany cannot be'found fault with because this is so. He wished it was 50,100 or 1,000 ,per cent. It is a fact that the report is not so minute this year as usual, owing to the fact that the consolidation was effected last year, but next year there will be a more explicit one made. Vice-President Bunnell explained the mat- ter by saying that there was a difference on account Of a' litigation once had between the New York and the Hartford roads, but this had been cleared away by the consoli- dati’on. When this was made the New York road made no credit for the corres- ponding debit of theHartford road, making a nominal deficit Of about $400,000, but not a real one, and this was explained by a note in the report. . Mr. Goodwin said he had seen no such note as that represented. As to the Harlem road, if it cost $20,000,000 to build a new road into New York the amount paid to the Harlem road yearly would be ten per cent. of this, and it was but right a least that the stockholders should know how much was paid toth‘e Harlem road. The present oili- cers are also responsible for letting the time of adjustment with the Harlem road in 1371- pass by without attempting to do anything of the kind. The president has not ex- plained either the apparent expenditure of $600,000 and told where it was expended. But the, motion to table his resolution was carried. The meeting then proceeded to vote for directors. Every one of the old directors was revelectedexccpt Mr. Carhart who is away in Europe and cannot attend to the duties. Mr. Miller was therefore chosen in his stead. The following is the new board, with the stock vote for each member: Wm. D.'Bishop 85,444, Wm.:P. Burrall 86.464, Wilson G. Huiit 86,454, C.

' Mr. Albert Austin, of Sufficld, said that was not the proper motion. Others discussed upon this point, and it was stated that a motion to rccommit was in order. ‘ Mr. Goodwin then said, I move to rcco mil. - .

He said Mr. Goodwin had stated‘ upon his honor, before the'legislature,'tbings proven to be a tissue of falsehoods. statement in toto. . _ Mr. Goodwin said that there was no inti- mation in the report Of what was paid for. haulage or paid Vanderbilt for the use of his road. . From what he could gather it appeared that Vanderbilt got nearly a q uar- ter of the earnings of the road. The motion to recommit was lost and the report accepted, every stockholder in the room vo ting. aye except Mr. Goodwin, who voted no. i .

A correspondent of the Boston Adcertiaei- thinks that be has found a better route than that. Boston and Halifax 'arc now connected by rail. But the route is not so direct as it might be, fOr in going to Truro it goes sixty miles east of Halifax,'over which it has to return. The proposition now is to run still farther east of Truro, one hundred and. twenty miles, and take ship at White Haven. This place, it is claimed, possesses the finest harbor in the world, as it isolso the most easterly, and consequently the nearest harbor on the American continent, permanently open at all' seasons Of the year to Europe—from which it is distant. by steamship five and one-half days in time. White Haven is one hundred and fifty miles nearer to Liverpool than Halifax, and would be within a few -milcs as near to Boston Or New York as Halifax is, were the intervening gap Of only seventy miles between New Glasgow and White Haven spanned by railway; so that by making the point of departure and ar- rival between Europe and America, a dis- tance of one hundred and fifty miles by vva- tcr, and sixty miles by land, in all two hurl- drcd and ten miles would be saved—or in time, over twenty hours, at least, by the White Haven over the Halifax-route. But Admiral Owen, only requires three or four miles of pilotage even in foggy weather—é * while the headlands of Halifax harbor, from the indenture of the Nova Scotia coast, are at least forty miles out of the track of Euro- pean steamships, and fro; the headlauds themselves, when you have made them, you require. according to the same authority, some twenty miles Of pilotagc before when- ing the harbor. Halifax stands in the way of building this road becauscit would injure her position and render her efforts on the European and North American road valu- less. The plan is an'eminently feasible one, for White Haven harbor is free from ice at all access. by rail from New York.
