our: wasmtvc'rotv LETTERS.
We commence to-day the publication of
Mr. Byington’e letters from Washington,
which will be continued weekly during the
session of Congress. ' No other correspon-
dent has better facilities for getting general
news, and matters of special interest to Con-
necticut people, and few journals in the land
can boast ‘of letters from the National Capi-
ml of equal interest. We have also arrange
ed with an esteemed Correspondent for a
series of letters descriptive of social life at
the Capital which will abound with amus-
ing hits at the fashions'and follies of the
day, sketches of noted men and women,
reliable gossip, &c., which will be of special
interest to the ladies. The introductory
letter appears on our fourth page today,
and we are confident that the succeeding
letters will constantly improve, as the seas—
on grows livelier at the Capital,and that
they will be eagerly sought for.

The New York dailies seem determined
to plunge us into a war with Spain if pos—
sible, and nearly every day gravely inform
us that "War is inevitable.” The President’s
message quieted the fever for a day or two,
after which war was inevitable again. To-
day the reports are reassuring, and it is evi-
dent that the Spanish government is acting
in good faith, and that its commands will
be obeyed by the Cuban authorities, and
thus peace will be secured.

The Insti tale.
The State Teachers’ Institute to be held
in Norwalk, this week, under the supervis-
ion of' Birdsey Grant Northrop, Secretary
of the State Board of Education, will open
at Lockwood’s Hall, on Thursday evening,
at 7% o’clock, when Mr. Northrop will de-
liver his lecture upon “Education in
Europe"—- a lecture which has‘attractcd
much attention throughout the State. The
regular sessions of the Institute will com-
mence each day at 9 a. m. 2, and 7% p. In.
Mr. Northrop will be aided by Prof. W.
W. Woodrufi‘, Pennsylvania; Prof. F. T.
Russell, of Trinity College ;_J. C. Bodwell,
D. D., Hartford ; Hon. T. W. Bickncll, State
Superintendent of Schools, Rhodc Island;
A. P. Stone, Supt. of Schools, Springfield,
Mass. ; Miss C. E. Brush, of the State Nor-
mal School; Mr. Chan Laisun, Commission-
er of the Chinese Government, and Dr. Ed-
win Leigh and N. A. Calkins of New York,
and others. , -
All the exercises are open to the public.
As customary on such occasions, teachers
and school visitors will be entertained by
the citizens of Norwalk. The schoolswill
be closed on Friday in order that the teach-
ers may attend.
ENTERTAINMENT on Tmcnnns.
Quite a large number of teachers from
abroad are expected to be in attcrglance
Friday and Saturday, and it is hoped that
our citizensiwill cheerfully volufitccr to
entertain them. All persons willing to take
one, two, or more teachers are invited to
confer with the committee, which, we
believe is composed of the Principals of our
schools, or to report the same at the Hall
on Thursday evening. _ \

We are pleased to learn that some are
moving in this important matter. Two or
three Sundays since Rev. Mr. Bentley, of
the lst Baptist church, announced that sev-
eral cases had come to his knowledge in the
course of his parish visitations, and sug-
gested that acollection be taken for pur-
chasing necessary articles of food, clothing,
or fuel for destitute families in this commu-
nity, without reference to their church con-
nection. .The collection was taken and
amounted to over twenty-one dollars;
The ladies of the church are now making
arrangements for a Charity Tea Party to be
given onthe evening of the 16th inst. (the
Centennial Anniversary of the throwing
Overboard of tea in Boston Harbor), the pro-
ceeds to be devoted entirely to aiding desti-
tute families of any or no religious persua-
sion. We hope they will have the cordial
cooperation of all our benevolent citizens.

Danbury News has put in new type for

handsome face.
Mr. George Hoyt, 2d, who has been a
manufacturer of ladies shoes in this town
for nearly or quite a half a century, died on
Friday last after a brief illness. He was
an industrious man, and always enjoyed the
respect and confidence of the community.
His funeral was attended yesterday after-

Y: both of whom were lost. Mr. Murray
was formerly a pupil at Rev. C. M. Selleck’s
school and was on his way to the South of
France, where he contemplated spending
the winter in hopes ofimproving his~health.
The death of these two, we understand,
leaves but one representative of the family
remaining, a son now in College—the moth-
er and another daughter having died within
a year. Mr. Le Grand Cramer, of Troy,
who was also formerly one of Mr. Sclleck’s
scholars, was a. passenger on the vessel, but
was fortunately saved. Two oer. Selleck’s
present pupils, sons of Mr. C. C. Waite,
were also afflicted by this same dispensa-
tion of Providence, but while they are call-
ed upon to mourn the loss of a sister they
are rejoiced by the rescue of a brother,
from the merciless waves.

Win our issue of Nov. 18, we published
a romantic love episode of ye olden times,
dating back to the year 1800. We this week .
had a call from a gentleman residing in
Tioga County, N. Y., who persdnally
vouches for the truth of the story. He in-
forms us that the story was first published
9 years ago, and at that time Mr. Beriah
Wells lay upon his death bed, and the pub-
liehed article having been read to him he
assented to the truth thereof. His descend-‘
ants are near neighbors of our informant in
Tioga County, and the son says it was an
undoubtedly true sketch. The only error
in it being the statementthat all the parties
had passed away, for as stated above. Mr.
Beriah Wells. was then still alive. Verily
truth is stronger than fiction.
The late concusses for the nomination of
candidates for Borough ofiiccs were both
very largely attended, showing adeep inter-
est on the part of‘citizens in the election.
At the Republican Caucus every man
seemed to have a candidate of his owu, at
first, and the meeting was in consequence
protracted-until a much later hour than usual

Editorial Letter.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7th, 1873.
DEAR GAZETTE :-—The opening of, the
forty-third Congress has been looked to by
the people with more earnest expectation
than any which has preceded it since the
Rebellion. The flame of ,war, which so
suddenly and violently flashed over the
country, and the conflicting statements con-
cerning our relations with Spain, gave rise
to the gravest apprehensions. The Presi-
dent’s message was awaited. with unusual
interest in this par‘ticular, as a paper that
should be an authority on the questions of
peace or war. Butthc one question that
most engrnswd the minds of the business
men of the country was and is the financial
cmbarrassmcnis growing out of our abnor-
mal lD'lnclaal‘ :vsteur. Letters, petitions,
and personals i0 Congressmen are innumer-
able. Already tl-t- larva-“beration is heard
in the voluble speeches launched upon the
galleries and into the v'tolumns of‘ the Con-
gressional record on financial subjects.
Nearly every member has a panacea. In-
deed, thc greatest fear to be apprehended is
that our disturbed finances will receive too
much tinkering. Senator Buckingham has
re-introduccd his last year’s bill with such
changes as the recent monetary panic have
suggested as most wise and practicable.
What every Congressman would be glad to
do seems to be about what every business
man would like to have done, and that is
the plain impossibility of eating your cake
and still keeping it. The project of free bank-
ing, based upon a low interest bond, seems
to have the preponderance in favor at this
time, so far as it is possible to determine
the weight of opinion. The President‘s
message on the subject, while commanding
approval in the main, is slightly criticised
that it does not more clearly point the way
to easy times, or indicate what would be
the Executive’s ’rcmedy. Probably, of the
whole number of members of Congress,
fully one-half are connected with or inter-
ested in banks. There are amofig them
large numbers of bank directors and several
directors of Provincial banks. The finan-
cial wisdom and far—reaching acumen of
those gcutle cn are marvelous to contem-
plate. Congiss can, and no doubt will do:
much to relieve the country of its financial
complications. Yet, after all Congress can
do, it must depend upon the people them-
selves—upon their more rigid economy,
their greater wisdom in investments, and,
above all, in thoroughly restored confidence
among commercial men and financial insti-
tutions, before.wc can count upon that
prosperity to business enterprises we have
hitherto enjoyed. ‘
Mr. Ferry had a friendly debate with
Senator Sumner the second day of the ses-
sion, in consequence of the Massachusetts
Senator attempting to press his supplement-
al civil rights bill to instant consideration
without reference to committee-the usual
course of proceedure. Mr. Ferry’s remarks
were substantially as follows :—
Mr. President, the Senator from Vermont
[ML Edmonds] yesterday expressed an in-
terest in this bill, and an earnest desire that
it should be referred to a committee. I
sympathize with the feeling of the Senator
from Vermtfit, that the bill should be so re-
ferred ; and especially at this time is there
a reason why the bill should be referred,
because the constitutional question which
was prominent ’thc former debate on this
bill has been submitted to the consideration
of the Supreme Court of the United States,
and their decision promulgated since the
Senate last met. Certainly, after a decision
of that court, we ought not to proceed
hastily to pass a bill involving the very
questions which the :court has considered,
without a reference of those 'que ' us to
our own appropriate committee. e Sen-
ator from Massachusetts, with some signifi-
cance. reminds us that our colored fellow-
citizens have votes. If they also have that
intelligence which an American citizen on-
titlcd to vote ought to have, they will not
be willing that a measure whose oonsonancc
with the Constitution or the United States
is gravely doubted, whose constitutionality
in principle has been by the Supreme Court
of the United States substantially decided
against, 'shall become a part of the law of
this land, when other remedies in entire ac-
cord with the Constitution have been pro-
vided and may be provided to secure them
in all their rights.
The Senator from Massachusetts and
many Senators know that from the outset I
have opposed this bill. It is easy to charge
upon those of us who stand in that position
hostility to human rights, and therefore at-
tempt, by casting opprobrium on us, to in-
validate our arguments; but the ground
upon which I stand is simply the Constitu-
tion of the United States, as it was. We
have been long enough setting aside that
sacred instrument upon every occasion of
mere expediency, upon every occasion of
fancied wrong, nay, even upon every occa-
sion of real wrong. Remedy the wrongs of
our people wherever they exist in conform-
ity with,not in violation of the Constitu-
tion ofthe United States. Itkis because this
bill, which has been discussed here at two
sessions upon grave constitutional ques-
tions, has, in its )rinciple, been considered
by the Supreme ‘onrt of the United States.
Mr Sumne'r——When, and on what occa-
sion ?
Mr. Ferry, of Connecticut—In the New
Orleans slaughter-house cases ;_ and l have
read in the newspapers of‘ the countrygpge,
ing my recent vacation who} pum‘“; PC
be the opinion omnaeSu-was the OplnlOD
,icmuup‘reme Court, that court, by a. ma-
jority, holds in principle that the bill which
the Senator has presented is oviolation of
the Constitution of the United States.
But, sir, that is not all. * We have here in
the Senate, since the last discussion of this
bill, a large number of new Senators,_ who
have not partEipated in thafidiscusston at
all; who have card no report of a commit-
tee upon it; who are unaware of the fact—
which I believe to be a fact—that the Ju-
diciary Committee of this body reported
against the bill which the Senator presents,
and asks us now to pass in hothaste, WItlI
out a. reference to any committee at all.
And, sir, in common courtesy to a Senator,
who here yesterday asked that .this bill
might not be pressed upon the consrclcration
of the Senate now, and who ishimself the
chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and
happens at this time to be out 'of he seat,
I think the Senator from Massachusetts
ought to consent that the matter should'lie
over, at any rate until that Senator is in his
place. ' ‘
The vigor and earnestness exhibited by
Mr. Ferry in his few remarks were a gratify-
ing surprise to his friends, who had suppOs-
cd him incapable of so resolute an effort
from,reports of his ill-health which had
preceded his arrival here. At no time duL
ring last session did the senator’s health
seem better or more assured, than at; the
present time.
Senator Buckingham is at his own house
quarters on 'G st. Messrs. Kellogg, Stark-
weather, and Barnum are at Willard‘s Ho-
tel. Gen. Howie; is at 907 G street.
The House has got itself rampant upon
the back pay question and it is said a
little finesse is to be experienced there at
the expense of the Senate. The story runs
that the Senate is to be canvassed, and if it
be found that it will not act in the matter,
then the House will glorify itself by a repeal
of the increased salary not But should this
ruse fail and the Senate not be found safe,
then such legislative legerdemain is to be re-
sorted to as will seem to attempt a reform,
but result in leaving things about as they
are. The pure deceit and dcma'goguism
which has been exhibited over this pay
question is truly lamentable. The pay as
now established is not. too high, no man not
worth it should be sent to Congress. The
aggregate taken from the Treasury cannot
be much, if it be at all, in' excess of what
has heretofore been expended in"‘cxtras”
such as papers, stationery, mileage and the
like. The $7,500 now paid, is in lieu of all
other allowances No Congressman, with a
family, can live here at all gentecly, on five
thousand dollars, and meet the constant and
inevitable expenses incident to his official
position. Could the people be made to fully
understand all there is in this pay question
they would be quite content to let it remain
as it is, The temptation to invest in Credit
Mobilicr and other questionable enterprises
would have been much less had the pay of
former Congresses been equal to the mem-
bers’ proper and needful expenditures.
Mr. Kellogg introduced ,on Thursday for
the information of the country the follow-
111g:—
Resolved, That the Special Committee on
on 15th st. Mr. Ferry at his last winter’s,
the Reduction of Salaries: be directed to in-
quire into the actual amounts paid to all the
members of the House for" salaries, mileage,
allowance for stationery; and other allow-
ances in the Forty-second Congress,'before
the‘ increase of salaries of March 1873; and
to report the amounts of cach,_and the gross
amount, to this House, with the average
amount for each member in the Forty-sec-
ond Congress, as the law existed before said
increase. ~
This will show whether more ill the aggro-
gregafe is now paid to Congressmen, than
before the increased pay. ' ,
The improvements made in the city du-
ring the recess have been very great and we
do not think the President cxaggcratcs the
fact at all, when he says in his message that
in no other city has so great 11 transforma-
tion been effected at so small an expendi
turc.- One of the most gratifying incidents
connected with the moral and physical
changes and improvement at the nation’s
capital is the construction and successful
operating of Tom Scott’s new Baltimore &
Potomac Railroad. Now we have a new
road-bed, steel rails,ncw and clean cars, con-
veying passengers on rapid time from New
York to Washington, all,thc way by steam
power, dispensing with the old horse haul
and howl and blast of tin horns, through
Baltimore. Let all our friends in coming
here be sure and take at J erscy City, those
trains only which run over the Baltimore &
Potomac line if they would enjoy the per-
fection of railroad comfort and safety.

, The French steamer reported lost, in our
last issue, was the Ville du Havre, bound
from New York to Havre, with a large list
of cabin passengers. The Ville du Havre
sailed from New York, Nov. 15th, and for
the first four days encountered fog : on the
morning of the 22d ult., about 2 o’clock,
the weather being clear, the vessel collided
with the ship Loch Earn from London, for
New York. The Ville du Havre soon sunk,
carrying down over 200 passengers ; eigh—
ty-sevcn of the crew and passengers were
saved, and taken to Great Britain. .Thc
L h Earn was so badly damaged as to ren-
der her abandonment necessary. The dis-
aster has caused wide-spread grief, for the
passengers lost were generally people of
character and high standing in society.

largely attended, and much interest was
manifested in the'proceedings. __ The Select-
men’s Report was read, accepted, and order-
ed printed ; it will be found in to-day’s
GAZETTE in full. The reports of theTown
Auditors and Town Treasurer were read
and accepted. The School Visitors’ Report
was read, accepted and ordered printed; it
will appear in our next issue. The estimate
for schools for next year was some 827,000,
and the amount was voted to be appropria-
ted." A tax of nine mills was laid, payable
November 25th, 1871..
An appropriation of $0,000 was made for
Highways. The matter of the pay of the
collector of taxes on list of 1873 was voted
to be left to the discretion of the Selectmen.
The petition of Samuel Seymour and others
to divide the South Norwalk Union School
District, as stated in the call, was granted.
It was voted that the First Selectman act as
Supervisor of the Alms House. The Boztd
of School Visitors was instructed to con-
sider the matter. of arranging for scholars
living in one district and desiring to attend
school in some other district. It was voted
to refund to Robert H. Hoyt, Silas P. Tuttle
and Daniel S. Bartram, for taxes wrong-
full paid.
THE Snan'rnnn’s REPORT.
As this document is one of much impor-
tance to our citizens, we have taken much
'pains to secure a copy in order that it
might appear promptly after the meeting.
The Report is drawn up in the usual man-
ner and seems to give afull and free exhibit
of Town affairs, which seem to have been
managed generally, in a careful and
economical manner by the late Board. The
decrease of the debt for the year is reported
at $7,810.00 against $5,764.70 for the pre-
vious year. The Aims House expenses are
reported as $582.53 183 than the previous
year, while the amount paid to the outside
poor was only $308.93 larger.
The employment of a town physician
seems to have given excellent satisfaction,
and we should judge that his bill is, at least,
moderate,-but we have no means of com-
paring it with the'amounts heretofore paid.
The school appropriation, as voted by the
town, was $4,130.41 larger than last year.
The State and Commutation taxes are 802
larger. The amount 'drawn by the Select-
men for services is some $200 less than in
the previous year, but is at the same rate
per day, viz. : $8.00. It has. been a quiet
year, however, but few special meetings
have been held, rind therefore,perhaps,-the1r
services were not so often required. At any
rate their bills are moderate, and must be
generally satisfactory. The .‘seellancous
expenses are apparently about thesame as
in previous years, fl perhaps are not as
large as might be expected for a town of
12,000 inhabitants. . -
Our income for school purposes seems to
be $3,212.50 more than reported last year.
The Selectmen are entitled to special credit
for collecting liquor licenses, and the
amou ntcollected was $4,600, or $100 more
than in 1872, which will prove a general
surprise, ' as most people believed ~, the
licenses would “come slow."- The select-
men believe it to be their duty to obey the
law, f and to protect dealers paying the
licen so by the prosecution of dealers selling
in violation of law. Altogether the Report,
we doubt not, will be received with general
satisfaction.

The committee of arrangements are now
at work perfecting its plans for a success-
ful entertainment, one feature of which
will be a Christmas Tree. Full-information
will be given in their report to the Division
on next Friday evening, at which meeting a
full attendance is desired. NO‘doubt but
that this entertainmentrwill be as successful
as those of this Society usually are.
A committee on entertainments has been
appointed. It is proposed that this com-
mittee shall arrange for a course of public
meetings to be given in the division room.
If decided to hold such meetings, they will
probably take place every alternate Friday
evening after the close of the regular meet-
ing of the Division.

er'rnnn’s LIVING AGE non 1874.'-The
fact is becoming more generally recognized
every year that Littdl’s lining Age affords
the best and, all things considered, the
cheapest means of keeping well informed in
the most valuable current literature; a lit-
eratnro that embraces the productions of
the best writers in science, fiction, poetry,
history, biography, polities, theology, phil-
osophy, criticism, and art. ’
The new series, which was begun Jan. 1,
1873, embraces serial and short stories by
eminent French, German, Russian, and
English novelists ; and duringthe ensuing
year, as heretofore, besides the choicest fic-
tion by .the leading foreign nut rs, the
usual unequaled amount will be given of
tho ablest essays and reviews, the belt
poems, the finest sketches of travel and dis-
covery,’ and the most valuable historical,
biographical, scientific, and political infor-
authors. ,
The highest critical authorities pronounce
The Livmy Age the “best 'of ' all the eclec-
tics,”prescnting,as it; does, with freshness
and thoroughness what is essential to
Amey'can readers in a great and indispen-
sable literature. I_n_ the multiplicity of
quarterlies,monthlies and weeklie‘s, all of
which it represents with a satisfying com-'
plcteness not elsewhere attempted, it has
bcconl'c almost a necessity to every person
or family of intelligence and tastcfand es-'
pccially so to those who must liint the
number of their periodicals.

According to Joaquin Miller. Geneva is
full of Americans, who are rapidly building
top by the money they spend. Disgusted
by the eternal company of his fellow coun-
trymen, the poet begged an ofiieial to take
him to some little place where there were
no Americans. “He looked at me," writes
Joaquin, “fora moment with-amazement,
then he looked hopelessly up and down the
lake, and away acrdss toward Mont Blanc,
and at last shook his head. Suddenly a new
idea seemed to strike him, and he lifted his
eyes towards heaven. Possibly. he meant
something by this, and possibly he did not."
