EDITORIAL LETTER.
[Our Washington letter is missing again,
this week, but we give below a portion of
the one which.mis-clu-ricd last week]
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19, 1873.
Dun GNzn'r'rE i—The Mobilier Investi-
gation continues to the absorption of almost
every other topic at the capital. The devel-
opments are at least curious and the mine
grows in richness. That there has been a
vast amount of sclisationai gossip and down
right lying concerning the men and means
employed in this matter cannot be denied.
The political press of the country, we are
sorry to add, seemed inspired by a satanic
rivalry, in throwing iuud at our public men,
all through the late presidential canvass.
But are not the Ctngrcssmen, who were
charged with an interest in the Mobilier, at
'fault in not coming out flunkly a stating
the whole truth, just as it has come out lipw
in this investigation .9 Had this been done
the people would have exhonoratcd them
from at least intentional wrong. That a
Congressman might own stock in the Pacific
railroad with as much propriety as he could
own_a gqvernmcnt bond, the value of which
must be affected by his vote, no one doubts.
That such'mcn as Senators Wilson, and Pat- ~
terson, ‘and Grimes, and Representatives
Colfax, Dawes, Garfield, Bingham, Kelly
and Wilson subscribed for stock, knowing
or suspecting it to be in conflict with their
. oath Ofoffice, the country will never believe.
The misfortune of all these good and true
' men is, that they did nJot,w‘hen first accused,
state with exactness what has subsequently
been di3closed,and betrayed an evident in-
tent or leading the public to believe that
they ricver had any, ownership or connec-
tion with the' concern, Senator Patterson
and Representative Bingham, perhaps,make
the best exhibit Of .their action, and poor
Mr. Brooks thermost meiancholly one, while
all seem to have betrayed, more or less of 9.
~ self-consciousness that stir connection with
it was not quite a straight thing. This is
the worst look the entire transaction has.
_ Our r. Bushnell came down as a volun-
teer witness,and although the capital news-
'puper calls him a “blower," and insinuates
that. he has defrauded the corporation out of
vast sums of money, by fraudulent bills and
; claims, we nevertheless think he took the
animal squarely by the horns, and lock the
same view of Congressional own‘crsbip in
the Mobilier ‘as in. National Bank Stock.
Mr. Bushnell has been prettyscverely criti-
cised for putting in an unsolicited appear-
. ance here, but a tenth part of the scandals
circulatingjabout‘ the committee rooms, in
reference to his pecuniary relations to the
Pacific railroad would start out any man
the least regard for his personal
character.
The testimony of both. Senators and Rep-
resentatives, and particularly so that of
Messrs. Wilson, Colfax, Kelly and Garfield,
give an indirect g‘hmpsc of the totally inad-
equate pay of our Congressmen. Those who
know the cost of Washingto 'ving,'witli
the fact that most members have fanliiicsr
part beinglre and part at home, in most.
. instances with a view to economy of living,
will only wonder that so few attempts are
made by them to eke out their pinched Com-
pcnsation. It is not fair or just that a great
nation should demand of its foremost men,
that they should give service so inadequately
requited. The p‘ay’of a Lieutenant in the
army is greater than ihat-ofaUnitcd Statcs’
Senator,o'r even the Vice-President, when
' the expense demands upon his pay are taken
'into comparison. Congress ought to raise
the pay of its members to at least $10,000
per year. Did the, people only know the
“makeshifts” in boarding, the rooming in
attics and 7x9 rooms,absoluteiyfor God; 1:20“
members who have no fortunes to draw
upon, they would, we are sure, clamorfor
a doubling of their pay. , '
. Senator Sherman made an able specch on
the Finances, last Thursday, in which be
highly complimented Gov. Buckingham’s
theory for free banking and specie resump-
tion. - _
Senator Morton made a clear and able
argument in behalf of a reform in our mode
..Ofelecting President. He advocates most
sensibly, as we think, a veto direct by the
people, the same as for GOvcrnor in the"
States. We would add the election of our
United States’ Senators by. the same mode.
If the recent Senatorial election scandals
don’t invite to this or some other reform,
then good bye the chivalric days of Clay,
Calhoun, Webster and-Benton.
Hon. Truman Smith, whose presence here
we mentioned in our last, argued tin impor-
tantcase before the U. S. Supreme Court
with such ability and vigor as occasioned
general surprise and. remark. 'Such an in-
stance ‘of the prolongation of mental powers
if) 82 years" of age, without perceptible im-
pairment, is'said never before to have been
witnessed in that high quorum. .
Messrs. John I. Davenport, John H:
Tweedy, Day, ‘of’ Wolcottviile, and MoWry,
but how lolig it will stay so remains to be
seen. Com. White sent the Pr'opelier Biad y
up during the week, and "she managed to
reach Gregory’s Point, where she discharged

On Wednesday, Capt.
Crabbe made another attempt to force his
way out from South NOi'walk, and finally
succeeded, after a desperate struggle. To
give some idea of the (liflicultics encounter-
ed we state tlic following facts: the City of
N orwaik left South Norwaik dock, on Wed-
ncsday, at 2515 p. m., and bucked against
the ice until 10 o’clock, p. m., when she was
fast in ice from five to nine inches thick,
off Fitch‘s Point. Next morning, at 4,
o’clock, the crew commenced cutting the
ice with axes, and the vessel resellcd Greg-
ory‘s Point at 1:20 p. in, Jan. 23, making
the trip in the remarkable time of twenty-
thrcc hours,a distance of {abgnL 2.93.919

by bucking against the ice again, finally
succeeded inrcaching the SOutli Norwalk
dock, at 9% o‘clock, in the evening! Com.
White is drtcr'nincd to make all the trips

Sonic person started a rumor in New
York, Saturday night, that President Grant
had been assassinated, and the report spread
all over the North. Here the story was
not generally believed, but we were kept in
suspense until the arrival of the Sunday
papers, when we learned there was no foun-
dation whatever for the report. The follow
capable of playing such a heartless “joke”
deserves immediate promotion, and should
be given an elevated position between
Stokes and Foster. .9

ACCIDENTS. —0n Friday evening last, Mr.
Albert Morchouse, J r., was engaged in
cleaning out an empty kerosene oil 'tank at
the store of Messrs. Fitch & Moss, Main
street, in which work he was assistedby
James Gafl‘ucy. A lump Was held; above
the tank, when an eprOsion occurred,
throwing Young Gafl‘ncy a considerable
distance, burning his face, and injuring him
quite seriously. Mr. Morehonse was also
somewhat burned, and; his whiskers and
hair were badly singed.
Oil Friday aft‘érnoon, J oscph Donahue, a
yonlig son of Mick Donahue, wandered into
Austin’s foundery,and while there attempted
to skim a ladle of molten iron with a wet
skillet. Soon as the skillet touched the iron
the liquid fire was thrown into the boy’s
face, and he was terribly burned. \ He was
taken home and caret] for, but still contin-
ues in a critical condition. '
LECTURE—Rev. W. H. Thomas is an-
noullced'to deliver a lecture at Lockwood’s
Hall, on Friday evening. The Georgetown
Glee Club is expected to be present. It is
understood that the lecture is given by mem—
bers of Concord Division, S. of T.‘ The
admission has been placed ‘iOw, and it is
hoped the audience will be Eli-go.
MINSTBELS. .
’l‘bc lovers of Minstrelsy will have :lbun--
dunt opportunity of enjoyment during the
next two 'weeks. To-night.- at the Opera
House, we are tO‘llIlVC Carucross & Dixey’s
Minstrels, a new troupe in this vicinity, but
one of long established reputation in Phila-
dclpia. Tliey promise lots of pleasing things,
and will undoubtedly draw a large crowd to
enjoy the music and fun. '
Wednesday night, at the Opera House, we
are Lo have the old-time rivals and ever pop-
ular favorites, Sam. Sharplcyilud G. Swainc
Buckley, playing together on the same
boards, and if there is not music in the camp
it will be a wonder. There is to be a great
variety of entertainments that evening, but
thc’he minsti‘cls will be sure to have plenty
of listeners. '
Next week Tililrsday evening, at the
Opera House, the well-known Morris Broth-
ers’ Minstrels, of Boston, are to play. They
always bring an excellent qutgpsmud “19““

ever.” but if as “ good as llsllal,”, will be
“good enough.”
’ The Insurance Companies of the country
have been holding conventions, comparing
.notcs, and compiling statistics. It appears
that while a few companies have made
small profits, about 19-20tlis of the whole
number have made none in some years, and
many, as is well known, after sinking iiiil-
liom of thc'stockhoiders’ money have utter-
ly failed. It was found impossible to bring
capital into the business to supply the loss-
‘cs unless it was made certain that rates
would be advanced so that the aggregate
premiums would pay the aggregate out-goes,
and from the necessity of the case the offi-
cers ofithe companies were bound not to ac-
ccpt business at less than 30 per cent. in ad-
vance on the rates existing at the time of
the Boston fire. This‘has encouraged stock-
holders to pay assessments of 15 to 75 per
cent. on their stock, and insurance com-
panies are now able to pay losses in full,
and property holders' can insure with as
much confidence of“ protection as hereto:
t‘ore. , ,
We give the above as the result of careful
inquiries into the reason of the recent ad-
vance of 30 to 50 per cent. in rates illI'Oilgh‘

The Dunbar-y Railroad.
Several changes in 'thc running of trains
on this road have been made, as will be
seen by the new time table which we print
to-day. The only one of special importance,
however, is the taking off of the first morn-
ihg train up, it being deemed unnecessary
to run two trains so close together during
the winter months. The morning and
evening trains'for Danbury will therefore
connect- with the Shepaug Valley Railroad.

entertainment cqiialiiiig in general inih'cst
the one given on Wednesday evening last -
by the young ladies of :jthc Mayfliiwer Mis-
sion Band. Everything seemed to favOr the ‘
enterprise from first to last. The Band was
harmonious and willing ; a general public
interest waseariy manifested, and tickets
sold rapidly ; the weather, on Wednesday,
was all that could be desired ; the vocalist"
seldom have we beéujfavored with ailoca -
and pianist arrived promptly; the house
was wcil filled by an appreciative audience,
and the entertainment passed off smoothly,
to the deiight'ot‘ all.
The Entertainment Opened with Thai-
bcrg's “Moses-in Egypt,” by Prof. Herman.
on the piano. The first tablet} _'_w_n_s after
Roger's statuettc, “Coming i9 lie-Parson.”
It was a faithful copy,,,élOs31§ljii§E¢mbii“g
marble, and seemed to astoiiiéii'tli ,iiiid-iénce
by its beauty and excellencc,wihning.gener-
a] admiration. Mrs. Gulnghcry Of New
York, then appeared in a song entitled
“Waiting,” which she rendered finely, mak-
ing 'a good impression, and receiving .ivarm
applause. Jean Ingelow’s ‘:Songjs of Seven"
followed, illustrated by tableaux firescnt-
ing Childhood, Girlhood, MaidenhOod,
Motherhood, Widowhood, Giving in Mar-
riage, and Longing for Home; as each of
_thcsc tableaux was shown, appropriate se-
lections were readibehind the scenes, by sev-
eral young ladies Of Miss Stevens’ school, in
'a very impressive, pleasing and creditable
manner, cvincing careful training and much
natural ability. Several young children
were introduced in the first two scenes, and
acted their parts to perfection, unawed b‘y
facingsuch an audience, or by their strange
surroundings. Prof. Herman, who had been
engaged as an accompanist to Mrs. Guia-
gher, kindly offered to help “fill in” by sing-
ing anew Swedish song of .his‘own compo-
sition. .The“Afternoon Nap’f was true to‘
life, and was greeted with roars of laughter ;
the ' aged village pcda‘gog'uc was shown
“ fast asleep” with a score of mischievous
urchins holding high carnival in the school,
closing with “flap frog" as the curtain fell.
Mr. Gibson hcr'c favored the audience
with piano music, and received warm ap-.
please. The tableau of “Rebekah at the
well,’ in three beautiful scenes, was then
given. Mrs. Gulagher sang “The Message,’’
by Biumenthal, and in‘ response tO'an en-
thusiustic encore, delighted the audience
with a song of theSeasons. The next scene
was announced as a “Humorous Piece" and
proved a great surprise. ' It was “Mrs. Jar-
ley’s Wax Works,” pelt upon the stage in
fine style, and exhibited by, Mrs. Jarley‘s
servant, “Pompey.” Six young ladies, rep-
resenting various characters, were standing
upon pedcstals, when Pompey came in at.
tired in “hobby” style, examined the group
and suddenly took it into his head to exhibit
them on his own account. He wound them
up, Client a time, and then in glowing lan-
guage described them with historical fidelity
as he had heard his mistress do at herifin
hibiIions. He was in the midst of a
rhapsody. over the iast figure,‘he heard a
noise and scampered off as his mistress
entered. Mrs. Jarley was in the best of
humor," made. a complaisantbow to the au-
dience and turned to her figures only to find
them all in operation. The curtain fell be-
fore her astonishment had subsided. The
ladies performed their parts admirably, 'exc-
outing various mpvements in a mechanical
manner that 'was very amusing. Pompey
was a “great shccess,” and won hearty ap-
plause. His “get up” was faultless, and the
ease and grace with whichhe conducted the
exhibition was only equalled by the witty
and gushing manner in which he described
the several characters. Mr. W. H.‘
was the pcrsonator, but few could’pen it:
his disguise. The character of Mrs. Jurley
was admirably taken by one of the ladies,
who won her full share in the applause.
The second part opened with selections
by Rrof. Herman, played in a very satisfac-
. tory manner. Mrs. Gulaghei' folloWed
with the pleasing song which Clara Louise
Kellogg sang here, ” She wandered dovfi
the Mountain Side,” which she rendered
very sweetly. ABibie scene was then given,
representing Ruth, Orpah and Naomi,—
Orpah turning to her own people, Ruth
clinging to Naomi, forming a pleasing tub-
lcaux. ' Mr. Gibson played Tiialberg’s Noc-
turne in E, op. 28, and won deserved ap-
plause. The thrilling Tableau “Blue Board”
was here given; first scene, B. B. and
Fatima; second scene, Fatima opening the
door and gazing upon the suspended heads
of Blue Board’s seven wives. It was a little
,on the horrible optical-illusion order, bill
was extremely effective, and the girls \suf-
fcred but little during the time their tresses
were tied. Another song was given by 1“;-
Hcrman, after whit-1. cause; [he ‘fdmiilfll‘
an...“ ul‘ vuoody Blake and Harry Gill :" the
shivering of Harry, in' the last scene, was
very effective, “bringing the house down,”
figuratively speaking. Mrs: Gulagher and
Prof. Herman rendered a duet from Wal-
lace’s“Luriine," when the closing tableau
was given. In the first scene,.Faith is shown
clinging to the cross, on one side Hope,
leaning on her anchor, and pointing to the
» cross; on the other side, Charity, kneeling,
bearing a globe—bringing the world to the
foot 'of. the cross. This scene was shown
once, and a moment after the curtain slowly
ascended revealing the group surrounded
by some forty filing ladies, the first'row
kneeling, the "xt sta‘nding. The effect
was magical, and the admiration universal.
Al the close the ladies were warmly con-
gratulated upon their success and a strong
desire was expressed for an early repeti-
tion. The ladies are certainly entitled to
much credit for the able manner in_ wnich
the entertainment was managed. In the
details they were assisted by a committee
of gentlemen, each of whom cheerfully per-
forinrd the special duty'assigncd him.

action of insurance companies (noticed else-
where) in raising rates‘hroughout the coun-
try to compensate for losses in Chicago and
Boston. . But it seems that the rates in
country towns and smaller Cities have never
yielded much profit, while the large cities
have paid a profit ; and consequently that
low rates in. the country at large have been
maintained at the expensccf‘ property hold-
ers in the large cities.
For instance, we see that the premiums
on New York city property for year ending
J llIlC 1st, 1872, were $6,672,149, while losses
in New York city for. year ending May 1st,
1872, were, only $1,320,038. We learn a
similar margin, though not quite as large,
existed in Boston before the late’fire.
It would seem, therefore, that country
towns and the'snialle‘r cities have no reason
to complain of the r'cceht advance of rates.
We don’t know as .it would make any'
difference it it were otherwisc,—th'e fact be-
ing it was impossible without this advance
to get stockholders to. furnish capital to con-
tinue business anywhere. ~

AN EMIGRANT SHIP SUNK !
*1- 300 leel Lon! I -
LONDON, Jan..28.—The emigrant ship
Northflee‘t, which sailed from here several
days ago bound for Australia, with 412 pas-
with an unknown foreign steamship,
was cut to the water’s edge.
No attention was paid by the steamship-
to the emigrant vessel after the collision,
and she proceeded on her- codrse, leaving
the sufferers to their fate.
Additional particulars of the marine dis-
ester 03' Dungincsslight house, last night,
have been received. , The Northfieet was
lying to at the timezthe collision occurred.
Three hupdred and twenty-one persons
were dro vned, including the captain.
The name of the steamer which ran into
the ship is not ascertained, but it isbeiieved
to have been. a Spanish vessel, bound from
Antwerp to Spain. The Board of Trade of
this city have offered a reward of £100 for
her discovery.
. LONDON, Jan. 25,—It is reported this
morning that a steamship has been discov~
cred sunk at the scene of the collision Ofi‘
Dungincss Lighthouse on Wednesday night.
The Opinion is becoming general that the-
vessel which ran into the Northflcet also
went down with all hands before the emi-
grant ship sunk. The owner of the Span-
ish steamship Murillo, who landed at Do--
ver twO hours before the coilision'occurred,
believes it was hisvessel' which was in col-
lision with :the Northfieet, and that both
were destroyed. It is supposed that the
Murillo sank alfow minutes after striking,
'as nothing was seen of her afterward. As
none of her crew‘ reached land, it is more
than probable that all on board have per-
ished. ' . - ~

. To so many strange’ and varied uses are
public water hydrants put to now-a-days, it
behooves all towns and cities figuring to
put in public water works, to be very liberal
in their estimates for water and to be' sure
of securing an unlimited supply. For in-
stance, is is now claimed, by the' knowing
ones, that there is a great danger of a water
famine in the city'of New Haven, notwith-_
standing the fact that are two companies
from which to draw a supply. The reason
given is that New Haven hasof'latc become
the head-center of the. sausage manufactur-
ing interests for all this region of country,
and experls claim that the present compo-
sition of the sausages they send to market,
is so largely composed, of water, that it will
be impossible for any two water companies
to supply to any customers outside of the
sausage manufacturers.

the nited States consumed about ten mil-

smokers prefer the pipe to the cigar and
probably as much tobacco is consumed in
this way as in cigars. However out of the

fects that it is only just whenever a candid
statement ' is made of any test, to give it
publicity. . Recently at 'the polytechnic

edinto the habits of the 160 students there
and then made a comparison between their

He then fonnd'that in .cachgrade of the
