. As was telegraphed you last Mopday, Le-
Grand Lockwood, Jr., testified before the
.. Ways and Means Committee in reference to
the claim made by Judge Sherman for ser-
vices rendered iii—securing the repeal of the
broker’s tax-",- It SEPPSJIL Lockwood, Sta,
applied to JuggeSher-mah,as an old friend
in whom heghadcontidence‘, to secure, if
possible, a repeal of what seemed to all the
brokers an unjust tax. _,_Mr. Sherman being-
a United States_.'.1n‘dge at, the time, left the;
details ofthe b'n'siness with‘two‘ Washington

carried, mailed their retainers. The judge’s

was-so great that one of the panels of the

he one 'on the train knew him, or where he
belonged, but as the news of the accident
spread other passengers came in, among
whom was a young friend who recognized
and at once took charge of him. A doctor
was procured and he was taken home,
wherebe received the best of care. His
parents were informed by telegraph of the
accident and at once started for Spuyten

having had any such information or belief,
he very‘naturally denies the soft it'npeaeh-

with abold npd brazen air. The other wit-

general that better testimony than any yet

The Poland rCommittee’s . report took '

many by surprise, although its true import
was announced by the reporters several
days before its delivc‘ry to. the House. . The
battle is to come'iiff “Tuesday, when'Ben.
Butler is expected to “sail in” lively in de-
fence of his friend. Oakes Amos. At first it
was not supposed that the report of the
0 Committee could secure a sustaining vote
in the House, It is now reported the De-
mocracy have caucused over theJquestion‘,
and conclude their polychance is'to'assunie:
the. virtuousgdodge,sacrifice Brooks and
support the gresoluti0n= for expulsiOn by a
strictly party-vote. This action comes of a
knowledge the'rthe Republican vote will be
divided en‘théfquestion. . ’
The attempt to inaugurate a movement
for the impeachment of. Mr.,Colfax,‘intro-
duccd by the saintly Fernando Wired, has
very decidedlfreacted in Mr. Colfax’s favor.
No measure could now. gain a decent vote
outside of [the democratic'conspiracy , to ,aid.
the desperate foi’tuuésf'of ' that party, Mr,-

TheWilson committee. will claim-action
.on their bill of indictment e‘arly’ in the week.
_ The bill' our. friend Anthony Conrstock
has been; so zealously laboring to secure,
passed the Senate last evening, and was'itn-
mediately rcported to the House, where it is
quite sure to pass also. The correspondent
of the New YerkIIerold telegraphed to that
paper that Mr, .Contstock has managed to
secure himself a fat office by prevailing upon
the Senate Post Qfiice Committee to report
an amendment to the post office appropria-
tion‘ bill authorizing the appointment of an
additional special agent .whoa‘e duty ’ it shall
hc" to detect and punish violations ofthe law
prohibiting the sending of obscene literature
through the mails. It is true that such an
amendment as that described was reported,
and that Mr. Comstock will probably re-
ceive the appointment, since he has the
unanimous recommendation of the Post
Office Committee. But it is not true that
Mr.‘Cornstock procured, suggested, or had
anything to do with the adoption of the
amendment. It wasofi‘ered by a member
of the committee on hisown motion, and
adopted by the committee without consulta-
tion with Mr..Comstock. Indeed, when we
apprised Mr. C. ,of the good fortune in'store
for him, he resolutely objected,- that .he
would now be charged with Selfish endmer—
cenary motives in his battle with the incar-
nate friends who seem bent on the ruin‘cf
the young‘pcoplc-of the land. It was‘sugv
‘gested by Senator Windam as sure to in-
crease his usefulness and also a means of
safety to him, as he is constantly threatened
with assassination. These miscreants won’t
be so likely to murder an officer, clothed
with the power andauthority of the United
States, as a'poor young man, "fighting his
good fight" single handedand alone, with a
purer christian zeal in his Work. ‘

In the House, yesterday, the New Lon. i

was carried. ' Our 'delelegatiOn fought like -

The anniversary of Washington Lodge, at
Cranberry Plains, on Thursday night last
was largely attended, and. the pecuniary re-
sult-must have been gratifying. Among the
visitors from the Borough was a large dele-
gation from Concord Division. An address
was delivered by Mr. J. M. Tammany, and
remarks were made by Mr. E. W. Stuart
and others. The supperwas very bountiful.
and the only thing to mar the pleasures of
the evening was the undesired presence of
several young fellows-who ought to belong
to some temperance society but evidently
do not.

 

 

The entrance to Gazette Building is a
dangerous place for loungcrs, especially
evenings, at this season, on account of the
strong draught through the long ball. “Codes

practice is often indulged. Prowitt’s corner
is not quite so dangerous a‘ spot, and has this
advantage,Prowit-t keeps on hand an ex-
cellent assortment‘of medicines ready for

The anniversary of Washington’s Bitth-

this vicinity. The Banks remained ' closed,
and several flags were displayed, which
was about the extent of the public observ~

A brutal-murder was committed in‘ East
Hartford, last Saturday night, the victim
being Ira Bliss, a man ever seventy - years
old, a station agent on the Hartford, Provi-
dence and Fishkill Railroad. 'The deed
was committed by two men, who met him
on his way home about nine o’clock, and
knocked him over the head with clubs.
After stilling his cries they robbed him of
his wallet, which contained not ,morc than
$25, and possibly considerably less. His
watch, a silver hunting case, was taken
from his pocket, the robbers in‘ their haste
breaking the chain, and leaving a. large
portion of it on his vest. Two fellows,
Frank Dynes, of Burnside, and Oscar
Graves of Hartford, were arrested on sas-
piction, and both confessed the deed.

We noticethat Kansascolonies are being

information we possessive!“ we have friends
residing in that Statedhit anymechanic who
is tolerably well off herein old Connecticut,
or who can makeallvelihood for himself
and family, will make a great mistake in
emigrating to Kansas. Our informant, in
writing from there to a young man‘herc
who had been making inquirieswith a view
of locating, wrote to not believe'the wonder-
ful and eulogistic newspaper reports, saying
that 'they.svere frauds; and that many, very
many settlers had been badly bitth in emi-
grating tberewith the fond hope. of , a good
and comfortable homestead, as the reward
of a few year‘leebor. Laborers were plenty,
~—but employment scarce, and pay therefor
still scarcers—4an'd wages almost nothing.
In fact, men with-money were warmly wel-
comed ; and while those with large amounts
_ would undoubtedly-gmake money, (as they
-. always can at home in the old States)~ those
with smallmeans were pretty sure to loose
their all. ' - ‘

much coveted-Santa Domingo territory, is
attracting a great deal of attention,- and
though generally denounced by-thepress as
afraud and a deception,‘some ofgitsuworst
features have been overlooked; and I fear
the consequences will be thatvsome, fond of
adventure, may be induced ,to goout there,
expecting to make profitable speculations,
will either die there'or return sadly disap-
pointed, as was the case with the American
West India. Company, of' Santo Domingo,
which was started and managed by these
same notorious characters, Cazneau and,
Fabens. That company was also organ-'
ized and incorporated in New York, and
had some equally prominent and sespecta-
ble names associated ‘with'it there. A few
facts in the recent political history of the
Dominican Republic will show how very,
improbable is the success of this new schemcl
ofaunexation. ' ‘
Buenaventura Baez is, in the broadest
sense of the term, a-usurper. He was not,
elected by‘ the people, but chosen byz-hist:
own appointed agents while he :wasi.'ini
Curacoa ;‘ who, for appearance sake outside.
called themselves a National Convention."
He entered upon the presidency, then for
the fourth time, in April, 1868. The; Con;
stitution Which hcswor'e to observe, limits;
the term to fouryears, and it makes a Pres-

years. But. the same illegal organization
which created him President, .in perfect
keeping with the antecedents of Baez and'
his party when in power, have now extend-
ed his term in order {hat he may conclude -
the illicit-negotiations commenced in 1809.
in which hthe'yft’oo', are 'ihterestedi'HBut,‘
even though he had "been elected by the
people, in '1868, according to the Constitu-
tion, and was still the legitimate President,
he would have no right to make' such a
treaty. Their Constitution expressly forbids ,
“The alienation 'of the whole or any part of:
its territory," and no'attempt has been made.
to set that aside or abrogate. 'it'.’ True, they ,
have gone through the farce andpretense'of
submitti 'the treaty to a vote of the'people,
as he did the question of annexatitrn in Feb, -
1870 ; and .the vote in its favor, as then,_will ‘
be just near enough to being unanimous-to
have the appearance of being 'free'; as
though he expected the people 'of this
country to believe they were actually allow-
ed a voice in the affairs of their country
under his rule. The very conditions of re-
cording the vote indicates itsfl‘auduleutip-
tent. The people were ordered to appear
before the municipal authorities in their re-
spective districts and trim their names, pro or
con, as they pleased, always provided it was
as Baez pleased. Not one in-twenty, out-
side of a few of the seaboard towns, nor one-
half in those, can write their names or read
them when written. 'The agents of Baez
sign for those who cannot write, andof
course as theyare instructed by him, even_
though some should dare to order otherwise.
Baez was educated in France, and has
always retired there when banished from
his country. He has studiedthe manage-
ment of a plebiscite unde_r the astute Louis
Napoleon. .
But if Baez can thus set the Constitution
aud'l'aws of his country at defiance, and
trample on the most sacred rights of a large
majority of his countrymen,'can we, the
“Mother of' American Republics," having
denounced suchmeans of acquiring territory
by’tbe European powers—disregarding the‘
will of the people, and using these very
arguments to "oblige France to withdraw
from Mexico, and Spain from Santa Domin-
go,-——afi'ord to set such an example to ottr
sister Republics, as to accept of that country
from Baez, knowing that he'has no rights in
the premises ? In our intercourse with each
other, we properly regard the receiver of
stolen property, knowing it to have been-
stolen, as bad as the thief. ' How much
worse for a. nation to do this thing? Doctor
Howe, one of the principal agents in the
revival of this enterprise, makes no secret of
their designs, annexation ; and Commis~
sinner Samuels says, “under this treaty we
have absolute control over 22,000 square»
miles of territory, and nearly 200,000 souls.”
Of course, without annexation their treaty
with allits boasted rights and privileges
will end as theAmerican West India Com-
pany’s did, disastrous to all who touched it,
except its projectors and managers, sacri-
ficing hundred of lives. 'That was ale]:-

started with a fictitious M1491". '59 “"rm '
lions nl‘ a-rr...., represented by $4,000 worth

offl'ild lands in Santo Domingo. ' ~ ,

It would seem as though they count upon
the moral and, if need be, the material sup-
port of our guns to protect Baez from the
wrath of his countrymen so long as there is
any hope of success with their gigantic spec-
ulations. Whether. there has been any
promise to this cfiect by any one authorized
to make it, does .not appear, but from the
fact-that Baez has had all the protection he
wanted from our ships since Aug. 1869,
directing their movements in his interests
as he required them, they have good reason
to count upon its continuance.

Doctor Howe tells us that Baez is popu-
lar with his countrymen, and that his treaty .
anti the annexation project is almost univer- ,
sally approved by them. That the doctor'
heard no one say anything against Baez or.
against his '_ policy, but, .On ,the contrary, 3
those with whom he came in contact,know-i
ing the. object: of his visit there to be in the
interest of Baez’s projects, availed of the op-
portunity to manifest their. approval of- whnt ;
they dared not oppose,'and to' which it was
even dangerous‘to appear indifil'dent,‘ is well :
understood byttlroise who know the despotic
and tyrannical character of the man,and that
he holds and exercises “unlimited powers,"
conferred on him by the illegal organization
which created him. Baez’s oft repeated,
calls upon the‘commanders of our ships for
protection and assistance against his coun-l
trymcn, pending the negotiations for the
salejot‘ his country. the~last four years is con- 3
elusive evidence that the doctor has been
deceived. And the traitorous conduct [of
Baez during the Spanish occupation, in__ae-
cepting a Field Marshal’s commission in
their army has bribe to his acquiescence in.
an act effected by his inveterate encmy,;
Santana,'utfd in holding on to» his commis-
sion during-their long and unequal struggle,
enjoying its boners and emoluments, nn'til
.six weeks after that government had passed:
the act of abandonment, is sufficient to con-
d emu hint in the minds of all true Ameri-
cams, and should forbid our government and.
people having any intercourse with him,
socially or politically ; remembering that,
but for the persistency of Mr. Seward in
pristesting against it, Spain would now, in
all ,probability, still be in possession of Sn-
mama, and perhaps some other seaport
towvns which her ships ‘could’command with '
their guns. Cabral was the master spirit in
that war, and a greatvsufferer pecuniurily ;‘

Steam vs. Flt-e.

 

 

. . Mussnanrrons—This subject is not yet
heating by exhauator live steam.
Tbe'application ; of steam to heat spart-E
ments is 'a valuable economy. Safety.
cleanliness and comfort thus combine in
giving a genial “warmth for every purpose of
private accommodption or public 'manufac-
tory with your own boiler; steam, sufilcignt
tolreat every room .in the Gazette Building,
may be had and your use for power he ever
ready. I give a statement of ascertained
facts, not new, as Mr. Wait is the authority :
“It has been ascertained thatoao eubr'cfoot of
boiler: will heat about two. thousand feet of
space in a cotton mill,’whose average heat
is from 70° ’to 80° fah. . And if we allow
25; cubic feet .of . a boiler for a horse power
in}: steam engine» supplied" by it, such a
boiler would be adequate'to the'warming of
fifty thousand cubic feet. ofispace'. It has
been also ascertained that 'one square foot of,
surface of steam“ pipe is“ adequate to thy
warming of two hundred cubic feet of space.
This quantity, Messrs. Editors, as you will
res 1in see, is adapted. to a well-finished
ordinary - brick or stone building. The

:fety valve on the boiler should be loaded
with 2% pounds for and area of'a square.
'.inch, as is the rule given for Mr. Watt’s en-
gines. Cast iron pipes are preferable to all
others for the diffusion of heat. Freedom
of expansion must be allowed, which in cast
iron may be taken at about the tenth of an
inch for. every ten teet of length. The pipes
should be distributed within a'few inches
of the floor.‘

Steam is now used extensively, it is un-
derstood, in drying muslin and calicoes in
all European manufactories. No fires have
up to this present time ever been occasioned
by it, in either factories or dwellings. In
muslin and calico manufaetories large
cylinders are filled with steam which, diffus-
ing in the apartments a temperature of 100 °
to 130° , rapidly dry the suspended cloth.
Occasionally the cloth is made to glide
round aseries of stream cylinders, closely
arranged in parallel rows. It is thus safely
and thoroughly dried in the course of a
minute. Experience lfls shown that bright
dyed yarns, like scarlet, dried in a common
stove heat of 128 ° , have their color darken-
ed and acquire a harsh feeling, while similar
goods laid‘ directly on steam pipes, heated
up to 165 °, retain the shade and lustre they
pessessed in the wet state. The people who
work in'steam drying rooms are healthy;
those who were formerly employed in the
stove heated apartments became soon sickly
and emaciated. These injurious effects were
ascribed to the action of cast iron at a high
temperature by fire on the atmosphere.

The hosting by steam of large quantities
of water-or other liquids,‘either for baths or
manufactories, may be'efi‘ectcd in two ways;
that is, thevsteam pipe may beplunged with
an open end into the. water cistern, or the,
steam may. be diffused around the ho) '. i" .

. Since a‘gallon of water in the fornr of
steam will beat 0 gallons at 50° up to the
boiling point, or 102°, 1 gallon of the for-
mer will be adequate to heat ‘18 gallons up
to 100°, making a libero, allowance for
waste in-the conducting pipes. Cooking of
food for man and cattle is likewise another
useful application of steam.“for," says Dr.
Black, “it is the most effectual carrier of heat
that can be conceived, and will deposit only
'on such. as are colder than boiling water.“
Hence in a range of pots,kettles,&c.-, when-
ever the first has reached the boiling point,
but no sooner, the steam will go onwards
to the second, then to the third, andthus in
succession. Inspection of the last will there.-
fore satisfy us of the condition of the'pre-
ceding vessels. How. few ever give this a
thought. Neither will one in ten believe
this to be the fact ; it. is not the desire of the
writer that they should, but rather that they
take some practical meansto demonstrate
the fact. . ' U ‘
Distillation has been lately practiced by
surrounding the still with-a strong metalic
case, and their filling the interstice with
steamheated up to 260 ° to 280 ° , yet there

The unexpected; result—of these experiments

be expected in the :manufacture of ardent-
spirits by distillation in vac'uoa. _ For 'we;

which was carried, thus refusing'to hear a
report from one of their own regularly ap-

pointed committees. The Ticket as well as

the meeting seems to have been made up

with a. desire to catch disaffected-voters:
them any and whatever source. Firstly

they bid for disall'ccted New Haveners by

nominating Ingersoll, then they try to bind

the liberal republicans to their democratic

ranks by-nominating Geo. G. Sill a liberal

of Hartford for Lieuta Gov. and William

Edgar Raymond a liberal of. New Canaan

for- treasurer, and then on their resolutions

they adopt bodily a series from an outside
band 'of agitating society disorganizers (hop-
ing to,gain‘other votes thereby,) which had‘
been previously ofi‘ercd to the Republican
Convention and which {hat Convention had
'manquy rejected, containing principles
which most of the democratic papers in'this-
state have frequently denounced.

By nominating Mr. Raymond for treasu-
rer, the party had to sacrifice honest “ long.»

position of Comptrollena place which be
has heldfor several years past on theticket. '

The Ticket as made. up~is .as follows :—'-—

Hartford; Sec. of State, Marvin H. Sanger
of Canterbury; Treasurer, Wm. E. Ray.

The resolutions adopted are as follows :—

constitution declared at Cincinnati and Bal-
timere; it is firtn in the conviction that its
cause is just and that its final success cannot

Reso red, 'Ilhat we arraitrn the President of
the United States for using the parmning
power in the interest of the ballot-box
staffers and repeaters ; for prostituting the
high trusts committed tohis hands at a time
of extraordinary demoralization and public
wrongs, to the interests of those who make
sport of the ballot, and debauch the elec-
tions; for striking down a faithfhl Cabinet
officer, to please a corrupt ring, and persist-
ing in retaining another, who pays out to
greedy cormorants vast sums of the people’s
taxes in violation of all law ; for using the
arm to crush the civil power and tire rights

Q .

Resolved, That the interference of federal
office-holders,from the President downward;
in political affairs which are exclusively
under State jurisdiction, has already led to
results which should rouse thoughtful atten-
tion and prompt action on the part of voters.
A governor, receiving no votes from the
people, foisted upon a State by presidential
orders ; the creation of a State Legislature
by executive decree ; and the destruction by
Congress of electoral votes of two States,
and parts of the electoral vote of another
State, among the alarming results of central-
ization and usurpation practiced by the ad-
ministration party.

Reached, That the sympathies of this con-
vention, and of all who believe in national
independence and republican government,
are due to the indomitable patriots of Cuba,
in the arduous struggle for freedom and just
government, which the have so long and
so bravely maintained in the face of enor-
mous odds and unprecedented difficulties.
Though the administration at Washington
has been against them, the hearts of the‘
American people have never ceased to feel
for their sufferings, or to pray for their suc-=
cess.

Resolved, That we welcome Spain to the
sisterhood of republics, and look forward tor
the freedom of Cuba as a necessary and'
early consequence. . - ‘ .

Resolved, That in the death of Horacei
Greeley the'eountr'y has lost one of its able;
and distinguished public men—one who .
showed himself capable of regarding coun-1
try before party—who kept himself pure in
a'time ofcorrupliou, and who, earlier than
most of his fellow countrymen, saw and‘cong
damned the prevalent depravity of the re-
publican leaders, and warned the people in.
these forcible words : “I insist that the legis-’
lation of your country, national and State;
needs purification, and that the leading men ;
in our government should be called to jus-
tice. * .
Resolved, That the repeal of the usur'v. law,
followed by an unusual stringency in the
money market of this and other Statés,-has=
resulted tn’ evils that call for remedy—not
the least of which is the tendency to change3
our savings institutions fkomdepositories of
the greatest safety to speculative institutions
of a questionable character. Further action

,on the art of the Legislature is demanded.

Reso red, That since the adoption of. the-
constitutionyof this'State, over fifty years
ago, new. industries and vast public enter-
prises bave come into existence. In every.
department a revision is necessary, and is‘
demanded by the generalinterests of the.
State ;' arid we recommend 'a call for a con-.'
stitutibnal convention by the ensuing Gen~_
era] Assembly. . . ,
Resolved,T at the legislation of this State
aborting childrenhas
been in the right direction, but something
more is needed; and to secure the equal and-
just advantages of education to the poor, as
wellas the wealthy, we deem the establish»
mentot‘ a bureau of labor statistics in this
State to be important. ‘ ' ’
Mr. James Gallagher, of New Haven, then

Resolved, That we demand the 're-enact-
merit -’of the usury lawa of this State, which
were repealed by the last. Legislature, be-
lieving their repeal to be in urioua to the in-
terests of honest labor an legitimate busi-
ness, its direct tendency being to increase at

increase the taxes of the already over-taxed
producing classes. '
Resolved, That t
re nire the establishment of a State bureau
of abor statistics, similar to that existing in

All great places, at one time or another,
have some great local excitement. Winni- _
pauk had one a few days ago. It seems.
that one of its short-time residents, a large,:
burly Englishman, a wool-sorter by occupa-.
tion, thought it was about time to make a‘
change of base, so he quietly prepared for a'
move to remote pails, by drawing his 'full’
pay from‘ the mufiufaeturiug company’s
treasurer. He then informed his-landlady,
to whom he was'severai weeks in arrears
for board, that he had got a good ‘ thing
down in the Borough that positively made
it necessary for him to change his domicil
down there, and promising to arrange for
payment of what was due her, be induced
her to get his things out of the weekly wash
and put up for him without loss of time.
He then went to an acquaintance and tell-
ing him that the doctor had ordered him to
wear silk stockings for some imaginary dis- -
order, be borrowed several dollars and then
sloped. Shortly afterward, friend A——..
hearing of his having drawn out all his
earnings, and also that he was intending a
sojourn abroad, immediately smelled a. rat
and posted oti‘ on the double duiek' for
J—. Then there was huryyin‘ in hot
haste, &e. , the fast nag and delivery wagon
brought out, and off went the couple at a
2:60 gait wrntlst‘ully d7;t,e.rma‘ncd to bring 4hr -
absconding wool-sorter to grief. Suffice» it
to say, that after changing on the way
down for a fresher nag, the pursuers arrived
at the N. Y. & N. H. R. R. depot just in
time to see the pursued pocket 8 ticket for
New York, when A— ferociously rushing
up. merited him and in “thunder tone" de-

he didn’t care which. Before the astonish-
ed wool-sorter could' answer, in burst the
enraged land,lady,who had taken a 2:70 nag
and gone for her board money. She talked
pretty strong, intimating that if she were
only a man, what satisfaction she would
have in giving him a drubbing, &c., and
was barely restrained by the sympathising
by-standers, from picthing in, even as it
was, then and there. However, the affair
was finally compromised by a return'hoy,
where the would be runaway induced an.
