Dan Gszm'rn :—-'I‘he sudden and unan-
ticipated demise of Cmnns Smart, on
Wednesday, threw the darkest and deepest
' shadow over the Capital of any event
since the death of Lincoln, and seemed to
paralyze both Congress and people. It
will not be overstating the fact to add
that the passing from earth of no other
American citizen would occasion so uni-
versal and profound an impression through-
out the world. '
The daily press will have so minutely de-
tailed every particular-t connected with this
mournful event before this can reach the
eye of the Gamma reader that little is left
for us to narrate, save some of the incidents
passing under our own personal observa-
tion.
On Friday week Mr. Sumner occupied
the entire day in an unusually able and
ea’rnsstprotestation against the Government
being saddled with the pecuniary responsi-
bility for the Centennial show at Philadel-
phia, and which is already crying like a
horse leech, as it is, for vast appropriations
of money. On that occasion the great
Massachusetts Senator elaborated and fol-
lowed oul in logical order the few brief,
succinct objections thrown out by our Mr.
Ferry in the debate of a day or so previous.
At the close of this speech, to which we
had attentively listened, it was observable
that he had exhibiteda greater degree of
exhaustion than was common to him when
speaking. The Senate adjourned over to
Monday. He was in his seat promptly, and
with the same cheerful smile he always
bore, and as keenly watchful of everything
passing to and from the clerk's desk, as al-
ways. On .Tuesday he again appeared,
looking usually well at the opening of the
session. Later in the session he was ob-
served to press the sides of his chest with
both hands frequently, and a strange pallor
overcast his face. About two p. m., he left
his chair, and, walking to the cldak room,
dropped at full length upon a lounge.
Passing by him he spoke pleasantly to us,
and his great else had never so arrested our
attention. As he lay thus prone at full
length, he seemed a giant in all proportions.
An hour later he walked back to the Sen.
ate and the seat of Senator Windom, next
that of Senator Ecrry’s, being vacant, he
drifted slowly into it and commenced an
apparentlyearnest and cheerful conversation
with our Senator. He was conferring upon
the subject of the hyperdermic use of mor-
phia to alleviate intense pain, which Mr.
Ferry was using. After a brief conversa-
glon he passed back to his desk, locked up
his papers, and left the Senate forever!
His last conversation in the Senate was
with Mr. Ferry, and it is supposed he went
home thus early with the purpose of trying
to alleviate his sufi‘ering about the chest
and heart by a use of the anodyne as de-
scribed. He had a quiet little dinner party
at his residence about seven that evening,
and though complaining of the severe pain
in his chest, seemed usually cheerful. At a
little after nine a sort of neuralagic spasm
seemed to have swept the region of the
heart. His physicians were summoned, and
they at once expressed their fears of a fatal
result. But reaction and circulation were
partially restored, and he fell into a slum-
ber. Near morning unfavorable symptoms
again occurred,'and at about eleven o’clock
it became evident his heart was so impli-
cated in the disturbed condition of the
nerves centering in his long diseased spinal
cord, that his recovery was hopeless.
Congress met, but such was the depres-
sion caused by the telegraphic bulletins
momentarily sent up from his house, that
both Houses at once adjourned. Scarce
had the flag above the Senate been dropped
when the great Senator’s life went out.
Various causes are assigned for the and-
den culmination of his long continued dis-
ease, which had its direct origin in the in-
jury to his spine, caused by the bludgeon of
Brooksvfar back in that era, which Mr.
Sumner has himself couched in'flirnmortal'
phraze,“ The barbarism of shiny." The"
, most reasonable causes are the intense men-
tal anxiety caused by the Simmons strug-
gle in executive session of the Senate. Mr.
Sumner felt that Simmons’ triumph was a
triumph of all the baser elements in Massa-
chusetts politics. The wealth, culture and
aristocracy of Boston were bitterly hostile
to Simmous’ confirmation, and being the
element to which Mr. Sumner was especially
allied, be readily espoused their cause and
made the most earnest and spirited protes-
tations against the wrongs done Massachu-
setts. When, ailer the most desperate
struggle, he found himself defeated and
Simmons confirmed, his chagrin and de-
pression were intense. The labor and care
bestowed upon his exhaustive centennial
speech, must have still further increased
and aggravated his nervous prostration.
Then, on Tuesday, Senator Boutwcll, pale
and jaundiced in look and feeble in step,
came from a sick bed to the Senate to in-
troduce the resolution of the Massachu-
setts Legislation expurging the vote of can
sure passed upon Mr. Sumner because of
bluenatorial action in regard to the rebel
battle flags. This was the culmination of
that intense nervous strain which broke the
silver curds of. his life. Eloquent in their
touching pathos were the events of this last
day's sitting of Charles Sumner in his
wonted seat in the United States Senate.
As in his life, so was his death, crowded
thick with most interesting coincidences
and circumstances. At the moment Sena.
etor Boutwell was offering the Massachu-
setts expurging vote, there sat Grace Green-
wood in the gallery reserved for Senators’
families, in earnest conversation with the
negro Fred. Douglas, who sat by her side i
What vindication and triumph of the great
principle of universal liberty to all, which
had been Mr. Sumner’s life theme, and for
which his death was so soon to be sealed,
was there in this simple circumstance.
. There, cold on his bier, at Buffalo, lay the
man, who, as President, signed and gave
life to that fugitive slave law, which had
given Mr. Sumner the grand opportunity of
his life's great antagonism, and secures to
his memory, an immortality as endearing as
history. Who can deny “ There is a divin-
ity which shapes our ends, rough, hew
them how we will i” ‘
The dead Senator's house was the most
desolate place in which we ever confronted
the presence of death. His very art treas-
ures, so exquisitely rich, rare, and innumer~
able, seemed to make the sense of desolation
more impressive. True, all that highest re-
spect and tenderest regard could suggest,
were done. But no hair was there, and
blood is thicker than water at life's last
and. o
_ No tender tears of woman, which gave
comfort even at the cross. were there! Yet
a great nation mourns deeply the death of
her great son. The liberty loving of the
- whole world send eagerly greeting today,
and severeutly kiss with electric lips the
cold brow of the dead statesman, ere it is
laid away at rest beneath the soil of his-
tsaeh loved Massachusetts. But proud

On Friday, short and simple funeral ser-
vices were observcd at the Senate chamber,
attendedby the greatest and the humblest
of the land. At three p. m., a special train
bore his remains to New York. At mid-
night, the cortege arrived at the Fifth
Avenue hotel.
puny, and at ten o'clock, Saturday morning,
solemnly out :of the 42d St. Depot. The
body, in a neat casket, was placed upon a.
dais in the center of a - postal car, and
surrounded by a guard of colored capital
police, which had accompanied it from
Washington as a guard of honor. The
train passed Norwalk, at eleven twenty-five,
crowds of our people being. at the depot
and the flags of our village being at half
mast. At Coscob Bridge the train was met
by the Executive Secretary of Gov. Inger-
soll and Col. Charnley of Gov. Ingersoll’s
stuff, as an escort through Connecticut, the
Governor being unavoidably detained.
At Stamford, Hon. Truman Smith, who
was a Senator from Connecticut when Mr.
Sumner entered that body joined the party
and 'rode to Norwalk, with the escort. At
Bridgeport, New Haven, Meridcn and’Hart-
ford, every demonstration of interest and
respect were exhibited by the crowds press-
ing around the honored dead.
The train reached Boston at evening, and
to-day, Monday, his public funeral services
will be held, and in response to his own
request, he will this evening be buried in
his mother’s lot, in beautiful Mount Auburn.
And—“the weary, rests.”
His body was accompanied by a com-
mittee of both Houses of Congress and the
Massachusetts delegation. The latter body,
through Mr. Dawes, the chairman, desired
us to express their sense of gratitude to
Supt. Moody and Samuel Northrop, for
their admirable arrangement of the funeral
train for the mcnrnful journey. J as. Denver,
the master car builder of the N. Y. do N. H.
road spent the entire night in draping the
new parlor car, Gov. Ingcrsoli, for the use
of the party. We have never seen anything
of the kind more richly or tastefully dono
The exterior was heavily draped and fes-
tooned with black and white muslin. The
interior, even more profusely draped with
black and white lace, while mirrors, chairs,
sofas, lamps, lambrequius, were richly fes-
tooncd with black and white silk rosettes
and bows. This car was the admiration of
the entire escort and the expressions of
grateful recognition so generally made,
would, could he have heard them, fully
have repaid Mr. Denver and his workmen
for their all night’s labor of love and respect
for the departed statesman.
Tuesday, Congress will again convene,
but long years will elapse before the chair
thus made vacant, will not eloquently plead
for remembrance for the dead Senator. B.

The New I. a: L. Truck.
The committee appointed to procure the
new Truck for Pioneer H. & L. 00., were
in New York last week, and after careful
examination decided not to purchase one of
thelBabcock Trucks, as they were, in their
opinion, too frail. They finally contracted
with Chas. E. Hartshorn,the builder of the
present Truck, for one of his latest Goose-
neck Trucks with a co‘mplcte set of Ladders
and Fixtures. It is to} cost about $1,000
and the maker is to take in part payment
the Sickle’s hand-engine formerly run by
Phoenix Engine 00., and as Pioneer Com-
pany took the old truck at $500, this will
leave little or no money for tthorough
authorities to expend for the apparatus. It
is expected to arrive here, ready for use, the
latter part of this week.

The City of South Norwalk is trying to
enforce the Sunday law.
The same thing was tried, but unsuccessx
fully by our Borough a few months ago.
Nearly every Sunday Our ministers allude
to the prevailing habit 5f Subbath desecra-
tion by the dissolute portion of our commu-
nity, and urge upon their congregations to
do something for the suppression of this
great evil.
Now let our churches and authorities
work together to this end, and will they not
succeed ?
The authorities should strictly enforce
the law closing the Liquor and Cigar stores;
and the churches should give their members
to understand that they should not stand in
the way of the law but that it is their duty
to uphold it or give a helping hand to our
Ofllccrs in every way possible. That such
of the church members, or the regular uttend~
nuts on divine service, as own or have pos-
session of buildings, anhpart of which are
used in this Sunday traflic, should insist up-
on thci-r tenants obeying this law or quit-
ting their premises. Public opinion is cer-
tainly in favor of quiet Sabbaths, and this
concerted action by the churches and au-
thorities would be one great means towards
the desired end. ’9

Wasmxo'ron, March 11th, 1874.
Ma. W. E. Baum:
President Y. M. C. A., Meriden.
DEAR Sm: '
On the 0th inst. I received
your letter, in which, by request of the body
over which you preside, you express the re-
A funeral train of three stead of Geo. W. Cram,tbcnce in a direct grct of its members at my opposition to
cars was made up by the New Haven Com- line easterly to the highway lending past what you designate as u the bill for a tem-
perance commission of inquiry." While I
attached ‘0 “10 express to Boston, it WSW] and others, and following the center line of am sorry that we dissagrec, I am grateful
for your letter. It affords me an opportun-
ity to say some words that may remove
misapprehensions. The bill proposes to
inquire into the effect of the alcholic liquor
traffic upon “ pauperism, crime and social
vice,” (I quote its language,) throughout the
United States, and also, to “ enquire and
take testimony as to the practical results of
license and restrictive legislation for the
prevention of intemperance in the seVeral
States.” The results of such enquiries are
to be transmitted to Congress. This is a
common mode of initiating legizlation in
that body, and the present inquiry is un-
doubtedly expected to produce that effect.
Now, in all my official action here, there is
one authority to which I must submit, and
that is the constitution of the United States.
That instrument has not conferred upon
Congress the power to legislate upon the
matters which are made the subjects of this
enquiry, and I am convinced that the sever-
al states are, in fact, as they are in law, the
depositoriea of that power. The proposi-
tion to make the enquiry assumes the au-
'thority to legislate upon the conditions
which maybe disclosed, and such an as-
sumption is in plain contravention of the
constitution. A few weeks ago the Repub-
licans of Connecticut, at their Convention,
resolved that “ The'Statee should be left to
regulyte their own internal afalrsuithoulin-
inference,” and the principle of that resolu-
tion I have found myself called upon to
protect against legislative assaults .almost
ever since I have been in the Senate. I can-
not now violate both it and the constitution
which a , s it, even for an object in which
I so entirrly sympathize as the extinction
of drunkenness. For this is the real object
of thousands of petitioners who have signed
a printed form asking for this commission
of inquiry, and I do not think that the
Young Men’s Christian Association of Meri-
den will do me the injustice of believing
me to be opposed or indifferent to such a
consummation. I mourn with you over the
misery which the sin of drunkenness is
bringing upon such numbers of ourpeople.
Irejoice with you in the great revival of
interest in the cause of temperance, and
while I deprecate some of the modes of de-
velopment of that interest, especially in the
west, I would not lightly regard any honest
effort in its behalf. Pledges of total absti-
nence, temperance societies and prohibitory
laws each may accomplish something, but
the great instrumentality for the extirpa-
tion of every species of immorality, drunk-
enness among the rest, is older, wiser, and
better than them all. The Church and
"the foolishness of preaching” are God's rs-
mcdial agencies for the sins of humanity,
and while other agencies may have their
’valuc, if the former are set aside for devices
of man’s invention, the result will be a fail-
ure. Writing to a “ Christian" association,
mayI not suggest that a revival of dis-
tinctively Christian effort, through the di-
vinely appointed channels, is the great ne-
cessity which the experience of the last
fifty years forces upon our thoughts! The
most encouraging symptom of the present
awakening is the disposition which Idis~
corn, in both churches and ministry, to enter
more actively upon this field of Christian
duty. Yours very truly, 7

back bearing the burden of his drunken
master, who, no longer able to sit up was
lying prostrate on the horse’s back. The

other brute in a safe place to sleep off his
stupor. About the same time a mule draw-
ing a load of hay came up without any
driver. The oflicers took the entire concern

driver, who had probably fallen from the
load,but could find nothing of him. The
mule had been shamefully beaten. The

Judge stranger’s Boolelon Agiiinst'iEe
Bank of Norwalk. ‘
Nonwnx, March 14th, 187-1.
means. EDITORS :— , .
I find in your last pa-
per, the note of Judge Granger, dated Aug.-
17tb, 1873, addressed to the Clerk of the
Court, containing his decision under the dc‘
murrer of the Bank, by which they escaped
the verdict of the jury.
The contents of that note which were an-
nounced immediately upon its reception by
the Clerk, have been the very subject of
comment from that time to the present, so
that its reproduction seven months after it
was made public, seems to have added noth-
ing to the knowledge of the case already in
possession of your readers.
So far as relates to the decision of Judge
Granger, I may say that it was doubtless
his right after having overruled the object-
tion to the admissibility of the expert cush-
iers, to accept their testimony as obtained
by the bank, and it is certainly no dispar-
agcment to admit, the fallibilily of all human
judgments; which would render it impossi-
blc for any man though possessed of the
acutest mental 'powers, and profoundest
knowledge, to be able in all cases to discov-
er a combination to carry a point, as was of
tcrwards admitted by one of their expert
cashiers, to a gentleman supposed to be a di-
rector of their bank. And to this impossi-
bility of discovering with qlnerring certain-
ty, under the most favored conditions, the
influences that away the mind and heart of
awilness, may ,perhaps be largely traced
the cause of the almost proverbial uncer-
tainty of the result of all legal proceedings.
It is not my object in this article to find
fault with the construction of our courts or
the laws upon which their rules {are based,
yet I trust that the Legislature will pass an
act abolishing the right of wealthy corpora-
tions or individuals by the confession of
nominal damages to escape a trial by jury
or a " retreating to a safer place,” as the
bank defined their action at the time, and
which the New York Herald said was a
“confession of weakness on the part of the
bank.” ‘ A
The announcement of the verdict in my
favonof one dollar of the fifteen thousand
claimed, was received by the legal gentlemen
of other states, as well as by our own citi-
zens, unacquainted with the peculiar rule of
our courts, with expressions of surprise at
its seeming inconsistency, and reminded one
of the lawyer in a western court, who, hav-
ing tarried too long in the bar room of his
hotel, was summoned by the judge to know
if he appeared in the case on trial; ap-
proaching with unsteady step replied “Please
your honor, partly I appear and partly I
disappear.” Mr. Editor, It is not my inten-
tion to give your readers a repetition of my
statement of facts heretofore published in
your paper, as the testimony may hereafter
be printed verbatim. ’ _
I have only to say that to that statement
I appeal with “malice toward none and
charity for all" connected witn the bank ;
never having charged, nor even entertained
the thought of “deliberate conscious” false
hood, a5 was most unjustly charged upon
myself, towards any of its oficiais, but
made the simple assertion that they denied
my statement, which‘deniai was heard by
all who listened to their evidencc,-while I
may be excused for stating that I have
reason to believe that Judge Granger, never
question.-;i the veracity of my testimony,
but based his views upon other points as
suggested above. , ‘
There are, Mr. Editor, still important con-
siderations connected with the several
claims on the bank which have not been
touched in the'discussion of the case, and
which It might be unwise to state at pres-
ent in view of other proceedings and un-
settled accounts, which may possibly be
carried to the courts, although it is thought
that tae bank will exhaust every effort to
settle rather than allow another case to be
tried.
But, sir, I must close. I can never cease
to admire the justice and sincerity of the
admission ofonc'of its largest~stockhold~
era and a director of the bank, recognizing
their liability for collateral pledges for
loans.
customers must pay their loans, both prin-
cipal and interest, but that the bank should
not make good the borrowers’ property in
their possession for their own security, have
gone to their account, and the others are
following on with rapid step. Let them
improve the brief period remaining to
adorn and make illustrious their closing
years with acts’of justice and deeds of mer-
cy, in daily anticipation of that tribunal
from which there will be no “ retreating to
a safer place,” and no half way confessions
entertained in order to escape the full
measure of accountability.

The Syracuse Journal of March 9th, con-
tains the following, which willbe of intere§t
to the many friends of the Rev. Augustus F,
Beard:
At the morning service at Plymouth
church, alter a brief discourse by the pastor,
Rev. A. F. Beard, eighty-two persons were
received into the membership of the church,
three-fourths of the number being in adult
life, and thirty-one being heads of families.
The rite of baptism was administered to for-
ty-four persons. The church has doubled its
membership within four years; having re-
ceived more than two hundred and thirty
new members since 1870. In 1870, it re.
ceived at one communion by profession,
seventy-one new members, and during that
year ninety-two. lts present membership is
four hundred and sixty. The church was
beautifully decorated with fresh flowers and
the attendance was very large.
Connected with the church is also a mis-
sion school—Good Will Mission—located in
the Fifth Ward, having a chapel and lot
owned b the church. There was an attend-
ance at this school yesterday of two hundred
and one teachers and scholars.

what they say down here,) he cap’t be much

be such a poor “ guesser.”
Our Treasury ladies have had true cause
again to be grateful toReprescnta live Kellogg
of Connecticut. In Mr. McCarty’s Bureau,
where the poor wives, and mothers, and sis-
ters, of our dead soldier boys are struggling
to keep soul and body together. on salaries,
so, mean and jewish that private business
firms would be disgraced for paying so inad-
equate compensation, it had been resolved
to wilhold fifteen per cent. of their pittance,
because the appropriation was running low
for this particular Bureau. Gen. Kellogg is
on the Investigating or Reform Committee
having the several branches of the Tcasury
Service especially under his supervision.
Seeing the lust pay-rolls thus made out,he
at once entered his protest and in answer to
his pleas that the nation should not be thus
disgraced, and a pledge that Congress would
provide for these hardest worked of all the
government employees, before their present
appropriation was exhausted—a new pay-
roll was made out for the full pay of a dol-
lar and socmtyfiee cents per day, for their 8
hours of hard and continuous labor.
This, McCarty’s division, as it is called,
has the printing of the government moneys
entirely in its charge. The ladies are em-
ployed in counting the sheets of paper both
before and after the printing; in the print-
ing, the numbering and registering of them,
etc; and the rapidity and critical accuracy
with which their work has to be done,
causes such a strain upon the mental facul-
ties, that few delicatc or nervous women
would undertake the service except from
the direst necessity. If there are any ambi
tious or uneasy maidens in Connecticut,
yearning for a place in the Treasury, let me
implore them to accept rather the first: good
chance they have at household service at
home rather than come here and fret and
stow their own and all their friends very
souls out, to get such a place, and then to
worry out their own lives in trying to fair
til its requirements. There are a few ladies
especially fortunate in possessing the requi-
site influence and superior accomplishments
who have copyist’s positions, and for that
get $100 per many]. Another large class of
ladies in the Redemption, Currency, and
othenbureaus, get $75 per month. On these
salaries a lady can live genteely if single, or
support her little family, if widowed, by the
most prudent and frugal living. But‘ even
these ladies are kept in a constant state of
nervousness by the dread of removal, the
gibes of' gossips and the soul-consuming
anxiety togucceptably do their duty. Say
what you may in disparagemcut "of our sex,
the men clerks never worry and fret With
that sort of over conscientious fear we ladies
do, lest we shall not please our male superi-
ors in office. Any single lady, however gift-
ed, who can have any respectable and re-
spectful consideration and employment in a
New England family at family service, is a
short sighted ninny to want to come down
here. The hot, oven like rooms of the De-
partments, abominably heated with misera-
bly constructed furnaces and almost entirely
unventilaied, are enough to break down the
health of the most robust Amazon, even
could the brain have a moments rest. I do
hope Gen. Kellogg will get a bill passed
paying to the lady employees of the Depart-
ments is uniform salary of one thousand
dollars a year, the same compensation that
is now paid to its boy and stupidest messen-
ger. Then for positions of greater respon-
sibility-and acquiremcnts, let ladies be paid
the same as gentlemen for the same work!
Why'imt?
- Hon. James H. Plait, chairman of the
. House Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds, .will soon press the Senate bill
providingfor the employment of Mr. Fred.
Law Olmstead to execute designs and plans
for the grading, dressing, planting and orna~
mentiug of the public grounds of the Cupi-
tal. Mr. Olmstead, as we all know, is a
gifted artist in landscape gardening, as has
been well attested by his success in the Cen-
tral Park, New York, Mr. Olmstead is ex;
pe’cted to furnish plans and designs for the
complete ornamentation of all the public
grounds in the Dilstrict from the President’s
house to the Capitol, which will render
them the most beautiful of anything of the
kind in the country.
But all other subjects sink out ofmind in
the sudden and unexpected bereavement
the nation has been called upon to bear in
the death of Senator Summer: I doubt if
any such feeling of sadness and personal
bereavement has pervaded this city since
the death of Mr. Lincoln. It was only
Tuesday Isnw him glide quietly down to
our Senator Ferry’s chair and hold a friend-
ly conversation with him. The Star says
he was then suffering great pain, and was
consulting Mr. Ferry, (whose malady the
supposed to be somewhat akin to his own,)
about the hyperdcrmic use of Morphia as an
anodyne. He even then seemed to betray
an unnatural nervousness, ‘and would
spusmodicaily clasp his hand across his
breast and draw his-fingers quickly through
his hair. A little after four he left the
Senate and next day the great Statesman
lay in his desolate home dead!
To day his chair was heavily draped in
crape and a beautiful vase of white flowers
rested on his desk. To-night the Senate
Chamber Will be draped and in the morning
funeral flowers will profusely and eloquent-7
ly bespeak remembrance for the departed
Senator. His funeral will be observed in
Senate at noon to-morrow. The Members
of the House willjoiu in the solemn exer-
cises when his remains will be conveyed to
the cars and under charge of the Congres-
sional Committee delivered to the sorrow ing
people of Boston. Since his death he has
lain at his former residence adjoining the
Arlington in the keeping of the undertaker.
And is such the end of one who has
reached the highest plane of intellectual
ambition and earthly greatness? No
parent, sister, or brother, to lisp a prayer
over the dying man's pillow! No wife to
kiss the death mists from his quivering lips;
no child to drop a tear upon his cold cheek?
And, shall I dare to speak it here, under
the solemunity of a great nation's sorrow—-
no love and trust in the dear gSaviour,—ns
he entered upon the awful mysteries of
death!
Oh how empty, how utterly unsatisfying
are all human glories in such a presence.
Welcome, obscurity, poverty, obloquy, all of
human ill—but save to me, Oh Merciful
Father, the Christian's hope of ablessed
immortality beyond the grave.
