Little To“ llootinxs.
All “011' year" in politics is not likely to
develop any dangerous excitement in the
little annual town meetings. But good
selections for town ofilcers are of the most
vital consequence to tax payers, and any in-
difference here has to be paid for, as no
other neglect can be. We urge our friends,
here and elsewhere, to put the very best
men in nomination for all local oflcers. It
matters not so much what church the nomi-
nee attends, or whatbe the cut of his outer
garments, if he be honest, intelligent and
faithful to the trusts conferred upon him.
There are good and true men in every com-
munity willing to serve the public,and who
will do it faithfully and well, and such men
should bc-selected. Since the war the bur-
dens of texation have borne heavily on the
people. The true way to lighten and lessen
these obligations of citizenship, is to select
only upright and prudent men for our local
ofilces.
The one capital question is also to be
settled. As a question of mere geographical
locality, the citizens of this end of the State
very naturally prefer New Haven. As a
question of expense in the maintainance of
two capitals and of the probable appropria-
tions requisite for the erection of a new cap-
ital building at New Haven,‘many prefer
Hartford should keep the elephant she evi-
dently has on her hands rather than it should
be transferred to the treasury of the State.

The past week has been more of the Au-
gust dog-day character than weather 'be-
fitting the last days of September. Never-

russet,oraugc and crimson autumnal tints
and all nature seems in holiday attire.

There is no‘great loss without some'small
gain, says the old proverb. The stringen-
cy in the money market has brought down
the speculator’s advance on coal and re-
duced the prices of bread-studs,—a god-
send to the poor for the coming winter, if
the prices can be made to stay down.
Death otCh-ries Thomas.
The venerable Charles Thomas expired at
his residence on East Avenue, in this town,
yesterday morning, aged nearly 82 years.
He has for a long time been in failing
health. Mr. Thomas was one of our oldest
and most esteemed citizens.
years he was the leading lumber dealer
here, and displayed an active and earnest.
interest in everything appertaining to the‘
good and welfare of Norwalk. On one
occasion, at least, he represented the
town in the General Assembly, being
elected on the Whig ticket in 1844, by a
handsome majority, with the late Deacon
A. E. Beard'as his colleague. In all the
relations of life he maintained an upright
and honorable csreer,—revered and respect-
edby all who ever knew him. Peace to
his ashes.

so that there will be uninterrupted ingress

Harry Nash, of Chestnut Hill, bought ’one
pound of Thornburn’s late Rose potato, in
the ‘s’pringfof ’78, for which he paid a dollar.
His last year’s product, from that single
pound, was sixty pounds. These he cut into
1491 eye's, last spring, planting one cutting
to a hill. ”His product this fall is an average
of a-‘bushel to twelve hills. and the total from
his sixty pounds of seed one hundred and
twentyfour'bushels. Some weigh two pounds
a piece. A pretty good increase on a dollar
investment.

Will MONETARY PANIC. _. ~-
The panic in Wall street, which raged so_
fiercely at our last wri'ting,‘nnd which was
then thought to have spent most of its force,
broke out afresh and increased in violence,
and extended widely over the country, The
failures, or, more accurately speaking, the
“suspensions" of sundry national banks and
private bankers, following so soon upon the
failure of Jay Cooke 85 00., seem to have
destroyed confidence everywhere, and the ‘
circulating medium of the country all of a
sudden became locked up either in Bank
Vaults or the pockets of the people. Green-
backs became so scarce thatthe city savings
banks had to refuse all depositors who called
for more than a hundred dollars, while the
national banks, by common consent, resorted -
to the certification of their depositors’
checks in lieu of bills which they hadn’t got,
and claimed they could not procure. Gen
eral business was more or less at a stand
still, although the money stringency had not
extended to the merchants to anything like
the extent it had to bankers and brokers,
On Friday the tide seems immeasurably
-to have turned, and the New York banks
commenced discounting, to a limited extent,
for their customers. The government pur-
chased some fourteen millions of bonds, and
thus released this vast amount of greenbacks,

Execu'rivn MANSION, l
Wasnmoron, D. 0., Sept. 28,1873. 5
Messrs. H. B. Claflin and Chas. L. Anthony :
GENTLEMEN.——In response to the views
you have communicated to me touching the
present stringency in the money market of
the country, and the necessary steps to re-
store confidence and legitimate trade and
commerce, I have the honor to communicate
the following: The government is desirous
of doing all in its power to relieve the present
unsettled condition of business afi‘airs which
seaboard and a market. Confidence on the
part of the people is the first thing needed
to relieve this condition, and to avert the
threatened destruction of business, with its
accompanying disasters to all classes of the
people. To re establish this feeling, the
Government is willing to take all legal
measures at'its command, but it is evident
that no Government efforts will avail with-
out thc active-cooperation of the banks and
moneyed corporations of the country. With
the $14,000,000 already paid out in the pur-
chase of the Government indebtedness, and.
the withdrawal of their large deposits from
the Treasurv, the banks are now strong
enough to adopt a liberal policy on their
part, and by a generous system of discounts,
to sustain the business interests of the
country. Should such a course be pursued,
the $44,000,000 of reserve will be considered
as money in the Treasury to meet the de-
mands of the public necessity, as the circum-
stances of the country may require. Close
attention will be given to the course pur-
sued by those who ave the means at their
command of rendering all the aid necessary
to restore trade to its proper channels and
condition. With a view of strengthening
the hands of those who carry out the meas-
ures above indicated, orders have already
been issued for the prepayment of the inter-
est accruiug in November. U. S. GRANT.
Here in Norwalk, while all thoughtful
business men were gravely solicitous as to
the ultimate effects of the panic, nothing like
a halt or cessation of any man’sfibusiness was
Indeed, it may
truthfully be said that Norwalk has not felt
the panic 0r seen the fruiis of it, only in the
.remotest degree. No unusual callhas been
made upon our savings bank, now with its
thousands of depositors and its millions of
deposits. One candid old lady, with a little
less than fifty dollars there, called last week
and frankly told what she had heard about
the banks failing, and wished to know if she
could have her money. She was told she
could and the greenbacks Were counted out
for her. " She‘ hesitated, ahdtlieu afik’éd—ifihe'
could surely get it bye and bye, if she should
want it. She was assured she could'havc it
now or any time she wished. With child-
like faith, she believed the cashier’s assur-
ances, and, giving him five dollars more, said
she guessed she’d leave the money where it
was. This is a simple story, but the simple-
minded old lady strictly exemplified the
feelings and action of our sharpest bankers
for the past fortnight. Want of confidence
and wild speculation has caused all the dis-
tress and ruin of the late senseless monetary
panic: '
The feeling yesterday seemed to be indi-
mum of more confidence and a better state
of things. We certainly trust the worst is
past. With winter coming on and manu-
factories and workshops closed, and busi;

ing that Sunday, October 26th would be the

ed to be the business agent. He had the
usual printed forms used by agents, and
seemed pretty well “ posted.” Hetalked
too much, however, and suspicion was-
aroused. On Tuesday he was ' arrested on
charge of Mr.Stedman.of the OldiWell Hotel
'who had furnished him board, and several
other Hotel keepers who hadbecu.defraud-

examination was held before Judge Craw,
last Friday afternoon, which resulted in his

All rsre luxuries are both troublesome
and expensive. Our city friends below find
this axiom vexaiiously true. A muddle ac-
crued as to the election of certain officers,
and a “healing act” was esssyed to make
things legal and smooth. . 1 Weare requested
to publish this bit of legislation, which is
simply as follows: , 3
“An Act amending the charter of the
City of South Norwalk. General Assembly,
May session, A. D., 1873. Be it enacted-by
the Senate and House of Representatives in
general assembly convened:
That the Board of Coun cilmcn for the City
of South Norwalk, shall be the final judges

Elections, and qualifications of its own mem-
ers. ,
Passed and approved, July 11, 1873.
But like Banquo’s ghost, the troublesome
Conucilmam question will not down. A
second election is bad and the contestants
claim confirmed by a large apparent major-
ity, but the occupant claims the electiomto
have-been'illegal, and-to have discouraged
all voting: in' his' favor. '.The- caseis still
running in the mama, and somebody-must
pay for the luxury,‘ despite the legislative
enactment, which‘it is now claimed cannot
rctroact. We see nothing short of the U. .
S. Supreme court as likely'to end the contest.
When-the'qtiaifrel is finally concluded, and .
all the streets graded, paved, and sidewalk-
ed,-why wouldn’t it do for city and Borough
to return to. the old Town system just to-
see how it would seem? But What would-

Bantam-Conn,
~ Sept. 29th, 1893.- }
Masses. Bunions—I noticed in yonr’last
week's paper'an article stating that I had
sent to the State Librarian the order for the
military execution of Robert Thompson.
There are two errors in that article which
should be corrected. . It was signed by
Brig-Gen. Samuel H.‘ Parsons, and not
Samuel H. Harris; and the dates of the en-
dorsement should correspond. In this con-
uection I would say that Mr. Hoadley, in
concluding his letter, acknowledging the re-
ceipt of this and other Revolutionary docu-
ments sent at the same time, says . “I find
that Robert Thompson, the warrant for
whose execution you enclose, was a prison-
er in Hartford Jail, under sentence of death
by Court Marshall, and May 9th, 1777, he
petitioned the General Assembly for pardon
or a civil trial, which was not-granted. He
says in his petition that he ‘was descended
from an eminent family.’ The petition is
in Rev. W'ar VIII, Doc. 165, and I have put
the warrant in the same volume as Doc.
405.”
The other papers sent were in relation 'to
the execution of two persons at Galldws -
Hill, in Reading, during the time Gen.
Putnam’s Headquarters were in that town,
and I considered them of so much impor-
tance that before they were sent Ihad them
photographed by Mr. Rittou,who succeed-
gettiug an admirable copy of them.

ROBBED AND sIIo'r mun Ir. NASH or win-
ron'r, LAST nABcn. ‘ r,
In the New York Herald'of Saturday last
Ewas printed the full confession, of, John
, Green, alias John McDonald as one: of the
menwho brutally murdered'James'Giraha’m‘ ,
at Little Neck, Long Island, in February
last. Green was one of three" men - who
rhad been prowling about the country com-,
mitting highway robbery and murder. .By
the killing of Graham they obtained a large
New York, where they. probably tarried
until it was gone. They stayed thérefi
certainly until after March lst. " They then
set out to secure more plunder, turning
their steps eastward. According to the
Herald, they overtook, robbed, and shot a.
man in the hand and neck, when about
forty-five miles from New York. Westport
is exactly that distance 011‘. MrL‘Nash was "
shot and robbed on the night of March 10th,
at just about the time these men would
require to pass from,New York. toWeste
port. The man who made the attack and
did the shooting was short, with a fiendish
face and about forty years of age, and this
corresponds exactly with the Herald’s
description. Having fied aftcrperpetrating
this deed, the men made for: Massachusetts,
where later in March they robbed a man

'mcn are John Green, and James;Lynch,
the name of the third man is not known.
It was Lynch who murdered Graham at
Little Neck, aided by Green. Lynch also
made the attack on Mr. Nash. The cir-
cumstances of that attack are yet fresh in
the minds of our readers, and those who,
read Greens confession yesterday have no.
doubt that these men are the perpetrators of
that deed. Under. that impression Mr.
Nash started yesterday morninglfor 312535.8-

Briely Hill, a small villag on the outskirts
of the “Black Century,” London, has just
been the scene of a robbery which for its im-
pudence and ingenuity would do credit to
the most accomplished of Whitecliapel
thcives. A lad entered the shop of a pro-
vision dealer in the place, and purchased a
penny roll. Having done so, he besouglit
the shopkeeper who was aloue in thc prem-
ises, to stufi' it down for him behind, his
“smock,” alleging that he wanted to hide it
from his mate, who was loitering outside,
and who would be sure to take it from him
if he saw it in his possession. The complais-
ant tradesman did as requested, with reiter-
ated and urgent requests from the lad to
stuff it down as far as he could that it might
not be seen. While the 'roll was being
elected away in this anomalous hiding
place, the purchaser managed to steal the
tradesman’s watch. A minute or two after
theformcr had left the shop. enter an-
other lad and said, “Do you know; what u
that chap has just done ? .He’s jpl‘iggedv

his watchchaiu was dangling, his watch
gone. “There he goes,” said the last cus-
tomer, pointing to a figure just disappearing
round a corner. Ofi‘ started the Storekeeper
in per-suit, leaving, the shop unguarded.
When he reached the corner, the presumed
thief was out ot'sight. By the time that he
returned from the fruitless chase his kindly
informant had also disappeared and the till ‘ --
was eimied to its last copper. No trace, of.

coast of northern Ireland, and as in the first
faint glowing 'of the"'mornin‘g the words
“land ahead" rang through the saloon of our
good steamer, there wercgbut few of us who
did not welcome it as the' glad harbinger of
safety and security from the perils of the
sea, and yet the voyage had been so like a
dream, the ocean had been to us so gentle a'
mother that I could well have delayed the
sighta few days longer. Our little com-
pany, strangers ten days ago, had become
like one family, vieing with each other in
their endeavors to add to the general com-
fort and welfare. This cry of “land ahead"
meant a snapping of these ties, and a sever-
ance of the friendships‘which years of busi-
ness or formal acquaintance could not have
ripened. These thoughts, however, gave
way for the time, and we gazed upon the
mere speck over our port bow with glad-
deued eyes, and with great expectancy.
Every one was on deck with clothes hastily
adjusted and toilets in a sad state of repair,
but there, was a glow in every countenance
which amply compensated the want of
ceremony. .. ., - .
The trip from.~.sliore to shore was a red-
letier one, delightful weather, cloudless skies .
and a sea as calm and unruffied as an inland
lake. That dreaded beta Mir of the incipient
sailor, sea sickness, did not iakckpassagc
with us, and we all gained our sea legs im-
mediately. , As the rush for Europeis now
over we had comparatively few saloon pas-
sengers, but a jollier, merrier setot voyagers
never embarked in any ship. All were
Americans Save, two, and more than half
were from the West, and with that’easy free-
dom so characteristic of our countrymen.
Scarcely twenty-four. hours elapsed ere we
were on the footing of old acquaintances.
It was a very versatile crowd, and :each one
had some accomplishment to add to. .the.
general fund. One of the party had been in
China, India and Australia, and dealt out
to us his experience in liberal quantity,
Another was and is a large railroad mana-
gcr at the west, undone of the best speci-
mens of a smart, shrewd, live American I
have ever met. He is exceedingly intelli-
gent, and just bubbling over with wit, and
his quaint remarks and ready snllies will be'
.long'remembered and cherished as sweet
reminiscences of a most delightful passage.
Then there was a party of six from CincinJ
nati, four of them young gentlemen, grad-l
notes of eastern colleges, and capital musi-i
Claus, and I venture to say that the saloon?
ofour good steamer never heard such hearty,
jolly musicbefore. A fine piano furnished
excellent accompaniment. In addition to all%
these personal scoomplishmeuts, there was.
a well stocked library, abundance of music,_
and maps, guide and route books in great:
profusion, so that there was no, lack of 3
means of delightfully passing. the: time..-

siding, to answer to a charge of offending
against the good order of thekingdom, in
that they had catch their breakfast in bed.
, The defense was emotional insanity, andthe
testimony adduced in support or .it was ex»
ceedingly humorous. The ocean itself for-
nished excellent diversion. Scarcely a day
passed butadistant sail would furnish a
theme for idle speculation» ;, three times we
exchanged signals with steamers .homcward
:boun’d,-and once, by means of the inter-
national code of signals, we furnished a
passing barque with her latitude and longi-
tude. Shoals of porpoises gambolcd about
us ; sea gulls followed in “our wake, and oc-
casionally a whalcgwould rise to the surface

In such employmen'tsr and with such di-
' versions, the hours and days sped rapidly
away, and almost before we were ready for
it the land broke’ia upon us. i
It is impossible to fitly describe the beauty
and grandeur of the day’s sail along the
ceast of Ireland and up the hub of Clyde.
To us who were seeing it for the first time it
was a day of real poetry. The mere speck
upon which we gazed in the morning’s first
- light, soon grew into a range of: crags, with
. lofty precipices jutting out to sea and sloping
011‘ inland. Soon the frowning-headlands of
