Dam Guerra. —The Senate opened its
: New Year sesiion on Monday with a run-
21.111: fire all along the line on the Con-
gressional salary question. The House
0111,6111“: up first for discussion, with the
Senate committees amendment. This
latter was further amended by Mr. Pratt, of
Indiana, with a view to restoring to the
Treasury all monies paid members, in ex-
cess of the old salary of $10,000 for 11
Congress. It was pending the discussion
on Mr. Pratt’s amendment, that 0111' Senator
Ferry, gave vent to his apparent indigna
tion at the dissimulation and want of
honest courage which had characterized so
much of the discussion of this question. It
was amusing to see extended to him the
congratulations of members who were
under such restraint themselves, as to re-
fl'ain from uttering the honest sentiments of
their own hearts as fearlessly as Mr. Ferry
had done, and also to hear the short and
crisp argument so fully endorsed as entirely
right by some who had been first and fore-
most in running to the bush.
Fifteen Senators have covered their extra
pay into the Treasury, others have left it in
the Secretary’s hands, subject to call or
lapse and the rest have drawn it.
The letter of Attorney-General Williams
to the President requesting a withdrawal of
his name-has raised him greatly in the esti-
mation of many who had hitherto opposed
him. Its style, temper and diction could
not well have been better.
In response to Senator Davis’ resolution,
introduced just before adjournment, calling
for information concerning the salaries paid
Senators under the retroactive features of
previous bills, the Secretary of the Senate
prepared a statement in detail, front the
ethical records of his office.
"It exhibits the various rates of compen-
sation '."ol Senators and Representatives
fixed at various times, and shows that the
following acts increasing rates of compen-
sation were retroactive, namely:
of September 22, 1789, was retroactive for
six months and eighteen days; the act of
March 10,1796 was retroaCtive for six days;
the act of March 19, 1816, for one year and
fifteen days; the act of January 22,1818,
was 1etl'oactive for fifty-three days; the
act of A'ugust 15, 1856, for one year five
months and twelve days; also the act of
July 28m was retroactive, extending back
one. year four months and twenty four days;
the act of March 3d, 1873. was retroactive,
for two years. The total average of com-
pensation and allowances for Senators for
mileage, traveling expenses and “3.1101191?
under the act of July 28,1866. front Marc 1
4th,1871, to March 3,1872,wa.s
$5,625. Undel the same act, from Marc]
4111,1872, to March. 3d, 1873, during which
year Senators received mileage for attend-
ing a special session of the Senate, the
avelage total contpensation and allowance
was $5,92.‘2. The average total 1' 0111pcnsa-
tion and allowance _of Senlrtors under the
act of March 8, 1878, is estimate-.1 21181600.
The estimate for traveling expenses includ-
ed in the above average is base-1‘.

oflce of the Secretary of the Senate show-
ing that any Se"na101 covered intr. the
'l‘1easui y any money to which he was en-
titled by the retroactive provisions of either
01 the acts of September 221,789 Match 19,

It will be seen that of the members of the
present Senate Mr. Hamlin of Maine, and
Mr. Sumner of Massachusetts took retroacg
live pay under the act of 1856. The first
named $1,986.68; the other $3,292.95.
Under the act of 1866 Messrs. Anthony,
Chandler, Cragin, Howe, Merrill of Maine,
Ramsey, Sherman, Stewart, Chas. Sumner,
again _to the amount of $2,805.56. Henry
Wilson, Stockton and Edmunds of Ver-
mont. Of our Connecticut Senators, Mr.
Foster and Mr. Toucey, under act of 1856
received retroactive pay to amount of
$2,292.95 each. Under 1101 of 1866, Mr.
Dixon received $2,805.56, and Mr. Foster
$261.93. He having during that session
been elected President, pro tun. of the
Senate, his back pay as Senator was thus
limited, while'his total pay for the session
was at the rate of $8,008 per annum, or $15:
666.34, in exact figures.
By the above figures it will be seen that
some of those now somewhat exercised
about the principle involved in the last
ealary bill are but rebuking their own pre-
vious action. ‘
The chief feature ol the House discussion
was the speech of Hon. Alexander H.
Stevens, the Rebel ex~Vice~President, and
the reply of Mr. Eliott the calm ed member
from South Cal-011ml, on the civil rights
bill. In rhetorical finish and logical or-
gument, as Well as in eloquence of 1111111-

The withdrawal of .Williambs and nomi-
nation of Caleb Cashing wasa gl'eatsltl'-
prise, and to tnost an agreeable one. The
chief well grounded objection 0;].an 15 that
he is too old for the .'V‘;posilion. . .Many able
and astute lawyers 1.1.1 hoped that Waite,
of Ohio, and formerly of 01., a son of 0m
late Chief Justice, and the active counsel at
.the Geneva conference, would be selected,
but no one ventures a doubt but that Mr
Cashing will be at once confirmed as
his great learning is admitted by all.
This nomination following so close upon
his appointment as minister to Spain' 1s a
vel‘yg 0‘teat compliment- to an eminent jurist
and able and aged statesman. Had the
Spanish Republic survived he would no
doudt have been h111ried to Madrid, but
since the downfall of Castelar and the res-
toration of military and monarchial rule
there his presence could hardly be deemed
desirable. Our government is not unaware
of the fact that one very grave source of
Castelar’s weakness, if not. the direct
cause of his overthrow and the dOanall of
the young Republic, was his determination
to adjust with this nation the Virginius af-
fair one basis of right and justice. The
advent of Mr. C-ushing with his pronounced
record, might still further embarrassc the
hopes and efforts of the struggling Repub-
lic of Spain, all in all, it is as well he
should go to Spain, if at all, as did Chief
Justice Jay, whowcnt abroad, while hold-
ing that high office, charged with a special
diplomatic diety.
Gen. Butler made one of the ablesi
speeches of his Congressional life on the
same. subject. The coloredpeople claim' in
substance, that all they want to secure by
the passage of the Supplementary Civil
Rights bill, is protection from white

A very pleasant afi‘ail' occurred at St.
Paul’s cllulch 011 Tuesday last. Quite a
large audience assembled to take part in the
Epiphany exelcises,—services commenter a-
tive of the manifestation of Christ to the
Gentiles. At the close of the regular exer-
cises, Rev. C. M. Selleck advanced toward
the Rector, Rev. Dr. Mead, ziza'iliaabrief,
but peculially appropriate .1 ld‘rgss. con rrat-
ulated him upon his "Golden”chding' 1n
the Sacred ‘.Iirlisll'y,‘ closing by asking his
acceptance 111' certain offerings by his pa-
rishionel s. l)l'.Samuel LyllCS then advanced
and placed a large package in thcllsllds of
the Rector,and Mr. George W. Cram brought
forward a large and beautifully executed
photograph of the Rector, finished in crfiy-
himself fully equal to the emergency by
a few eloquent and touching remarks, every
word of which went to the hearts of his
hearers. In closing he turned suddenly in
his assistant, Rev. Mr. Selleek, and address-
ing him in affectionate terms as one w'ho
had been very dear to him, “ more than a
son in the gospel,” who had been actuated
by unselfish feeling, the love of Christ and.
the church, presented to him the fine
portrait. This was perfectly unexpected by
Mr. Scllcck. He did not respond in words,
but took the hands of the Rector, and his
friends thoroughly cnj eyed his surprise. All
present then pressed forward and warmly
greeted both the Rector and his assistant,
and congratulated each other upon the
exceedingly pleasant manner in which the
presentations and double surprise had pass-
ed off.
The presents comprised a large and beau:
liful volume entitled "- Album of the Fas-
sion Play at Obcr-Ammcrgau,” elegantly i]-
lustrated with full~page photographs, etch-
ings and fine wood-cuts. The book cost
one hundred dollars.

Whitney, valued at $75, and is an excellent
likeness, finished' 111 an artistic manner.

: and'much consequent damage. The Nor-
walk river rose rapidly, during the night,
and was a wild torrent at daylight. Below
Winnipauk there must have been nearly if
not quite-as much water in the river as in
the “great fl'csltet" of twenty years ago.
The damage done, however, was light com:
pared with tllatfl'esllet, partly owing to
wells and embankmenls built at that time.
If there had been much ice in the stream,
the railroad bridge and town bridge below
the Union Factpl'y would undoubtedly have
been washed away. As it was they
narrowly escaped. At the Union Factory
the lower. rooms were flooded, btlt the
damage was not serious. The foundation
wall in the rear ofG. d'. S. H. Holme’s store
gave way early in the morning, leaving
and endangering the adjoining stores below
but fortunately the flood rapidly subsided
without doing further damage there. Op-
posite, the GAZETTE 11' all and embankment
suffered considerably.
In the harbor the dock at Hill’s lumber
yard gave way in two places, and consider-
able valuable lumber was carricd 06', most of
which, however, was subsequently recover-
ed. ‘ The harbor was also badly filled up in
some: places. At Wilton, Fillow‘s bridge
was damaged so that trains could not pass
over, but was repaired so that the first train
down-arrived at 2 1-2 p. .111.
damage to roads and bridges in various sec;
tions of the town, is reported. Many eel-
lars were flooded all over tow 11. Elm street
residents were particularly unfortunate in
in this respect. Thursday, Fliday and Sat-
urday, Phoenix Steam fircenginc was made
useful in pumping 0111 cellars in the Bor-
ough, and by consent of the Waran was
within city limits. Altogether 0111' citizens
have reason to congratulate themselves up:
on having sustained so compalalively small
damage.

Massns. Ens—As the meeting for voting
the annual Borough tax is called for Men-
day the 19th, inst ,would it not be well to
urge upon all your readers the importance
of ottendin and devoting a foul mmuter‘ to
they 01an interests and. thereby saving them-
‘selves hours'of grumbling and fault-finding
hereafter. In 1872 the Borough tax was ten
mills on the dollar, and the interest on the
debt was between eleven and twelve thous-
and dollars. In 1873, owing to the full
‘ ' amount of the bonds having been issued
and an increased expenditure of twenty-five
thousand dollars voted, for which no pro-
vision was made except 'to order that it
shbuld be borrowed; the interest was‘in-
creased to nearly eighteen thousand dollars.
The last Borough Report shows an expcni
diture for interest of $19, 656. '43; The dif-
ference' ls accounted for in the fact that the
last Board having the money on hand, paid
the December interestj$1‘,953._1,7'_.in 1111111191.,
saving the' rebate, but increasing their re-
ported expenditures nearly two thousand
dollars. "Will the grumblel's stick a pill
there. " _Now‘, notwithstanding thisinerease
of interest of nearly _,$6000, and this fact
was stated at the time of laying the tax,
'sevetal persons who' were willing that their
pester-ity or any one else should pay their
debts, contrived and executed the brilliant
idea of reducing the tdx'to' eight mills, the
reduction amounting to nearly five thous-
and dollars. Here was a deficiency of
near_y$11000 with which the last Board had-
to commence the year. In view of this fact
was it a w onder that the debt should be
somewhat increased. This however' is past
and gone and the Board of '1873 are willing
and able to bear the responsibility of their
own actions, we suppose, but we do urge
upon the community the necessity ofvoting
next Monday for at least a tax of eleven
mills. This with the town tax of nine mills
‘._ will makcour tax-bills the same as in 1872.
Even with this tax, our present- reform (7)
board will hays :but about eleven thousand.
dollars to pay the year’s expenseswvith, so
that the gleatest cdbnomy’wdi 1.11.310 be
used, as of course it will be (9) to prevent
the debt being increased still more. ‘ * *

,, Mnesns Enl'rons: -— .
This 18 the anniversary
of Gen. Jacks0n s great New Orleans vic-
tory. The day when the old hickory hero
found safety behind breastwmks of cottOn
Mid set that example of prudent heroism
which so many of our valiant .men have
continued to imitate, on occasions, front that
day to this. In the youth and ourily of the
old Democratic party,'I' ant teld. this used
to be the chief day on the calendar. In
those days Congress would as soon sit of a
Sunday as not adjourn over the 81b of J an-
nary. But you weald not now get an idea
or a suggestion that it had ever been a day
of note from any public recognition given
it or the memory '01" its’hero. Nothing but
the almanacs—those gravestones of our his-
toryavperpetuate- this. and many other of
our historic events. To- day, the faintest
hint we get of the 8111 of January at New
Orleans is in that fashionable deformed
femininity that bulges great ' packs of cot-
ton before you—11' cruel deception to baby-
itood, a base cheat. to manhood, and a dis-
gust to the honest prudery of womanhood.
Congressmen are back “ in force." Mad-
. ams and Mes'dal'nes of the charmed govern-
mental circles are in giggles of. expectation
and delight over the prospective “ season"

There was the funniest bridal pair at the.
Capitol yesterday, I have ye't seen. Indeed,
I could not helpgetting provoked as 1 gazed
at the 111 matched pair. The bride was a
nutty little Miss, much undersize, bllt cer-
tainly not over seventeen or eighteen. She
was neatly and not “ stunningly” dressed
was all attention and smiles, and as artless-
ly reliant upon her tnaturer “lord" as a
child would be towards its grand-pa.Tl1e
groom, as might be anticipated, were .1101-
Irid spectacles. They were gold, of course,
but of largest size, and seemed made ex-
pressly to compress his brain and keep his
ears down. He could not have been less
than fifty years of age. His clothes were
new, but ill-shapen, ill-fitting, and came
from some wholesale slop- shop, I am sure.
Ithought how much bettel your Mr. Com-
stock could have done for his appearance in
respect to. 'his ready-made clothing. .His,
face was cleanoshaven; his brow was bereft
of its earlier underbrush, and a beautiful
place was there for the family monogram.
I don’t know whether he was doctor, law;
yer, minister, or professor, but I do know
that he was a sour, unsympathizing, dried-
up old curmudgeon of a miserly bachelor!
There was noneof the soft-sweetnessof the
widower about him,.110t.a' bit. 'I don’t
know where 'they cant.” from or whither
they are going, and yet from the bottom of
my heart, I pity that_child-wife. She is
bound to have a “ t'me of it" with that sub-
ject, I know, single as I am. The instincts
of a woman are unert'ing in these matters.

bait, I can’t divine,but I suppose he is rich,
--(in money)-—sueh creatures always do
grow rich' to stocks and bonds, but oh, how
abjectly poor in heart treasures.“ Well, I
suppose. the bride took -‘the poetic view of
the alliance, and— .
“ 1 011th and agesmbracc
As April violets fill'with snow.” '
For once,I was satisfied that I was yet
single. I’d sooner yoke mysc‘t'to a Connec
ticut steer ._tltan with such; a -.pinched-np
specimen of a- man. A‘ "-’case “comes up
flom Kentucky which eclipses the Bliss
family discipline and shows that other
places are just as queer and awful as Wash-
ington. This time it is an old minister
named ' Reynolds, living in Muhlenburg
county, Ky who 1s charged with brutally
beating, with'a'eowlride, his daughter, aged
eighteen years, because she refused to ac-
cept a young man iii the neighborhood for
a husband. 3'11. 1s stated that the whippings
were so frequently repealed that ’she at last
consented to‘ the marriage. The evening
before the wedding was to take place the
girl escaped'fl'om home through the inter-
vention of neighbors. Her ‘-‘ cruel parient”
is the pastor of a flourishing church. There
wis much feeling againsthim, but no legal
proceedings have been taken, 01' course not
—-for it’s nobody but a woman. who' IS thus
outraged in person and in. feeling. The
brute Bliss, here, was discharged, and ex-
cept the lashings he got in the nethpapers,
he has escaped all punishment. Will such
things be and overcome us like a‘ summer
cloutl—twhen women rota—without our
special wonder? I trow not.
It isn’t just,however, to lay all the wrong
doing to you men; This mornings police
records furnish the following harrowing re-
cilals of domestic infelicity,and as it may
b‘e “comforting” to you gentlemen, I will
give you'tlle stories. ‘5 What’s the use of

it was for the worse, received the sentence

When Henry tried to stop the rash proceed- ‘

by the laglm= 1' Mary, who planted three full-
