‘ Wasmo'rox, March 22d, 1874.
Dean GIzar'rn :—The emblems of mourn-
ing still drape the Capitol and public build-
ings; yet, so rapidly do events rush, one
after another, that present interest in Mass»
chusctt’s selection of a new Senator, leaves
the dead past to bury its dead. The pre-
po sting supposition here is that Mr.
- Dawes is the most likely to win. If he can
retain the strength he developed when
beaten by Boutwell, he will be pretty sure
to succeed to the place made so conspicu-
ously vacant. The two Hoars, and lately
the entry of Governor Washburn into the
field, will test all the strength, energy and
fidelity of Dawes' friends. Those here who
are likely to know most about the contest,
concede ultimate triumph to Mr. Dawes.
He would make a most earnest, useful and
laborious Senator. His long years of ser-
vice and leadership in the House, give
- abundant assurhncc of his fidelity, capacity,
.and deserving for the, higher place, and‘the
great State could not more worthily bestow
the honor and responsibility.
The investigation into the affairs of the
Board of Public Works of this city still
drags its weary length along. As yet the
investigators seem to have totally failed to
substantiate a single one of their charges.
It would indeed be surprising if they were
not able to find some substantiation of their
many accusations, when the hundreds of
contractors, the thousands of contracts, and
millions of money expended in improy-
_ing the city are considered; but as yet
they have totally failed. As so much
clamor prevsdes the country about assess-
ments and taxation here, let us assert where-
of wc personally know,—that the rate per
annum of taxation here, for, say the past
four years, will not average as much on the
same valuation, as in Norwalk or the city
of Bridgeport. It is our misfortune to, be
compelled to pay taxes in all three places,
and we speak by the book. The parkings,
gradings and pavings and general renova-
tion here really approaches the marvelous,
and when the extent and nature of the vast
improvements are realized, the wonder to
us is that it has been accomplished at so
light a burden upon property holders.
Still, no one objects to any exposure which
will reveal rascality, if it does exist, or in-
sure future improvements at a still cheaper
rate. Facts, however, as thus far develop.
ed by the investigation suggest other mo-
tivesthau a desire to promote the public
welfare, as the animus of the fierce contest.
Gen. Logan made a strong speech in an-
swer to Senalor Schurz, and in favor of in-
flation. The debate went rambling through
the week till Thursday, when the finance
bill was thrust aside and the army bill taken
up. Mr. Ferry earnestly opposed any post-
ponement, but insisted that its paramount
importance should give it precedence over
all other measures.
Somehow, the majority in either Houses
do not seem to realize the impatience felt at
this delay, by the people of the nation, or
the momentous gravity of at once deter-
mining some financial policy. It is death
and paralysis to business, and rccoils back
upon the Government in diminished rev-
enue.
Mr. Sherman succeeded in getting his
bill for the equalization of National bank
circulation made the special order for Mon-
day. This proposes taking twenty-five
million from New England and transferring
it to the west. This proposition, at first
sight, seems mischievous in its effects upon
our already disturbed finances, but a care-
ful analysis does not leave our banks in so
deplorable a situation, after all. For in-
stancc,supposc the venerable and sound
old Fairfield‘County Bank is required to
surrender $90,000 of its circulation. .It
comes here and recalls its $100,000 in Gov-
ernment bonds, which it sells in the market
at once for $115,000. Thus it has $25,000
more mum to circulate than before! Nor
is this all. It is released from holding the
fifteen per cent. reserve. which on the
$90,000 would be $18,500 more, so
that our Bank really haslatotal of $38,-
500 more money to lend its customers than
it had before its ninety thousand of circu-
lotion was withdrawn from it, and the
West is blessed with the privilege of having
its $10,000 on every $100,000 locked up in
the Treasury, with the premium on its sc-
curities, its fifteen per cent. reserve and all
other taxes and liabilities. If Mr. Sher-
man’s bill is a success, it will be a blessing
to his section so disguised the most astute
financier will never be able to strike it ac'
cording to our theory and contemplation. ‘
Butiwhatevcr is done, “ ’twere well ’twere
done quickly.”
Representatives Starkweathcr and Kel-
logg have both made unanswerablc replies
to the arraignment of Republican adminis-
tration by Messrs. Beck and Wood in the
House. Starkweathcr proved greater
profiigacy in public expenditures during
Buchanan's administration than any time
during Republican rule. It isn’t a much
safer thing for our democratic friends to
invite a comparison of economic adminis-
trative records than in the matter of loyalty
and patriotism.
Uncle Truman Smith, our honored and
venerable ExSenator, at eighty-three years

interest to bench, bar, and visitor.

A New Fire Company.
The Board of Engineers and the officers
of our several Fire Companies met awhile
ago, upon a call from the Chief Engineer, to
take into consideration the subject of a
more thorough organization, or to devise
ways and means to increase the efilciency
of the department. The general expression
seemed to be that on occasion of a fire the
firemen were annoyed and delayed by the
too ofilcious interference of outsiders and
by the crowding thereof which seriously in
t'crtered with the prompt movements of the
several companies. After mature delibera-
tion it was resolved to ask the Board of
Burgesscs to raise and attach to the Fire
Department a company of fin police of 25
picked men, the said‘ company to be a
volunteer organization the same as the
others, and to be under the controfof the
Chief Engineer and his assistants, and
whose duty it should be to repair immedi-
ately to the scene of the fire upon any
alarm being given and to place a patrol at
a suitable distance therefrom to keep back
the indiscriminate rush so (that the firemen
proper_can have room in which to do their
work, and if found necessary to remove any
goods or furniture from any building, to
take charge of and guard the same, thus
preventing the pillaging, which, in other
places, almost always occurs where goods
have to be removed.
We think the idea of the company is a
good' one and are glad to learn that the
Burgesses adopted the suggestion by voting
to raise such a company, and appointing
Aurelius J. Meeker a committee for such
purpose. After the company is raised we
think they might be sworn in as Special
Police and he called upon in special cases
as such, and when acting as Special Police
instead of Fire Police receive pay as now
provided for special police. ,

An occasional correspondent sends us the
following from Washington :—
The great speech of Senator Matt. Car-
penter recently delivered in the United
States Senate on the deplorable condition of
afi'airs in Louisana, is generally approved
and commended by the Republican press
throughout the country. Senator Carpenter
is ranked among the leading men of the
Republican party, and‘his exposure of the
wrongs and abuses that have been commit-
ted in Louisanu by men calling themselves
Republicans, and who are clamoring for the
Republican party to uphold and shield
them, is one of the healthiest signs of the
times. it shows that the Republican party
is entirely able to take care of itself. to re-
dress wrongs committed in its name, and to
reform abuses perpetrated by its members.
No man, or set of men, can use the Republi-
can party as a cloak to commit crime or
wrong without ultimate detection, exposure
and punishment by the party itself. In fact
it could not be otherwise. The Republican
party is composed of a major part of all
that is honest, decent, virtuous and respect-
able in the American people, and it cannot
do anything else but represent those compo-
nent parts of the Nation. This last speech
of Senator Carpenter has added new lau-
rels to the already welhwoven garland that
encircles his brow. As a jurist he stands at
the head of the legol profession in this coun-
try, and his eloquence, learning and inde-
pendence of thought, has gained for him a
host of admirers during his brief political
career. who look forward to the not far dis-

Stolen Bonds Once More.
Masses Barrens :—The case of Stuart es.
Bank of N orwalk, for the recovery of U. S.
Bonds, hypothecatcd to the Bank as security
for the payment of money loaned to him
and alleged to be stolen from the Bank;
and the extrordinary' decision rendered by
a Judge of our State before whom it was
tried; continuing to be the subject of gen-
eral remark, as well as of general interest
among the citizens of our community and
State, and probably more or less in every
state in the Union. That decision I regret
to say has aroused a feeling of alarm, if not
distrust in the mind of the people as to the
competency if not the integrity of thejudi-
ciary of our State, to an extent it is believed
never before known; and said to be unhesi-
tatingly condemned by many of the ablest
jurists of our own and other States. There
is no place, Mr. Editor, perhaps in our land
where the decisions of courts, are more
closely scanned or viewer] with kccner eye
than yb the citizens of this State. .
Judges of our courts therefore should not
be uumindful of the fact, that any decision
made by them so obviously at variance
with the law of common honesty and com-
mon sense, (eithe‘r both of which are con-
ceded to be the ha is of all law.) will not
fail to be regarded by an intelligent com-
munity with derision and contempt, and in
the case here referred to the opinion is very
generally cxpressedithut the doctrine pro-
mulgated in said decision, viz. : ThatBanks
and other parties demanding and holding
collaterals’as security for the payment of
monies loaned by them, can withhold their
return from their owners, after the payment
of the amount loaned, under the plea that
they had been lost or stolen from them by
burglars or others, cannot stand when
brought before a' Superior Tribunal as it
will be, and. expuuged from the records of
our courts. It is to be hoped as unworthy
of the fair fame of our State and offensive to
thejust sense of right entertained by her
people. ONLY A LOOKEB ox.

The subject of admitting that class of
witnesses known as experts in the trials 0f
causes in courts has been attended in so
many instances with such results as to be
the cause of very general complaint. We
notice that in the State of Massachusetts a
committee appointed to memoralizc the
Legislature, have made an important report
upon the gsneral subject of cxperttestimony
together with the reasons why, in their
judgment some efficient measures of reform
should be adopted.
In our own courts we have witnessed the
conflicting evidence of experts especially in
reference to the mental condition of the
same person viewed from almost the identi-
cal stand point of the opponents and it has
been almost impossible to find the prepon-
derance of evidence for, or against the
soundness of the object of inquiry, while in
other cases experts have been allowed
partly by reason of the possibility of secur-
ingl’any number of that class, especially
where money is abundant to outnumber the
afilrmations of facts, from eye witnesses of
those facts, so that the Judge, and'some-
times the jur y, in cases when the jury is not
evaded, not being themselves conversant
with the reliability of the evidence, have re-
turned verdicts which the actual facts have
not seemed to warrant. The object may
well engage the attention of those in -our
own State as well, who would see to it that
the honor of our courts is vindicated from
exhibitions of trumped-up testimony and
pretended skill and science which may have
have at times signalized important judicial
trials. .
The paper which has suggested this
notice says; “The mischief at which they
aim is becoming more glaring every year,
and public attention in various quarters is
being called to it in a significant manner,
both in England and‘our own country." P.

Barrens GAZETTE—I was rather surpris-
ed to hear Dr. Bush, in his very interesting
lecture on Tuesday evening, endorse the
popular fallacy that the Chinese people are
our autipodes. As every one knows the
word antipodcs means those whose feet are
opposite, and as our feet, when we stand
erect. point to the centre of the earth, and
their’s must do the same, it follows that a
line joining our feet and those of our anti-
podes must pass through the centre of the
earth, and form a diameter of it. Therefore
such a line drawn from a point in latitude
north, will come out at point in latitude
south; one starting in West longitude from
Greenwich, will come out in East longitude
from Greenwich. Let us apply this to the
case in point: New York is in latitude
about 40° north (exactly 42° 40/) and
longitude 74° west. The parallel of 40°
passes through the city of Pekin,China, but
its longitude is about 110° cast, so that a
line drawn through the earth from New
York, crossing its axis ht latitude 40°
would come out in Tookistan, and not in
China, evenon tbeprinciple suggested by
Dr. Bush. . But the point really opposite
our feetis in south latitude about 40° and
cast , longitude 74°. This point will be
toundin the South Atlantic Ocean about
500 miles W. S. W. from the Cape of Good
-Hope. 80 that there are no people (unless
on ship board) whose feet are directly oppo-
site ours. '
In this statement I have not aimed at
accuracy, but have tried to illustrate the
principle. K. W.

Mn'ssas. Enrroas :-—The “Old man named
'Latha'm,” referred to in a recent issue of the
Sentinel, is a gentleman honored and be.
loved by many friends who know his Worth
and the record of his unblemished life.
His piety is reverent and toned with good
sense. It isa mistake that he prop fcr
prolonged life, or asks to reach his hun-
dredth year;he_ only waits with devout
confidence till the time of his welcome re-
lease shall come. He became a member of
the Christian church of the Methodist com-
munion in 1796, and continued in unbroken
connection therewith until now.——more
than seventy-eight years. He became a
member of Harmony Lodge of Free Ma-
sonry, in the City of Hudson, N. Y., in 1800.
He was born April 14th, 1876; and is there-
fore nearly three months older than the
Declaration of Iudependsncc,—born a little
too late to be a Revolutionary hero, he has
however, quite vivid rcmembrances or
some important events of that period, not
a few interesting incidents whereof he was
witness to in the city of New York, where
he spent his boyhood. H. D. L.

The‘ death oer. Sum-
ner has so thoroughly occupied the mind of
everybody: that little has transpired of pub-
,lic interest since that and event. His house
adjoining the Arlington is an object of inter-
est to all and the owners of ‘the great
hostlcry are quite anxious to secure it to
attach to their hotel. No disposition can
be made of the Senator’s personal property
until his sister living in San Francisco is
heard from. The administrator ,has made
up a list of all his books devised to Harvard
College and had them packed ready for
shipment.’ His pictures, marbles and arti-
cles of virtu remain in their old places,
and will be disposed of according to his
will.
The funeral party returned on Wednesday
night from Boston, but isn’t it a curious ex-
hibition of Congressional human nalure that
both House and Senate were depleted very
much more greatly Thursday, on the occa-
sion of a free excursion and free lunching
at Chester Pa; where the Pacific Mail
Company’s great Steamship was launched.
Apropos of funerals, we had a case up in
our Circuit. Court yesterday, which is but
another evidence of mortuary extravagance
and rapacity. If Washington is a dear
place to live in, it is a very much dearer
place to die in. But the practice of over
charging at funerals is by no means confin-
ed to this place. The present case however,
is a very marked example of the exactions
sometimes made on bereaved friends unable
to bear extortions. In 1872 a Mrs. Mills
fell from the 8rd story window of the Metro.
politan Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue and
was killed. August Burgdorf ofiiciated at
the funeral as'undertakcr, and presentel
his bill, amounting to $2,279.00, which Mr.
H. E. Pelham Sutton, her son, refused to
pay, on the ground that it was exorbitant.
The remains were taken to Massachusetts
for interment. Among the items in Mr.
Burgdorf’s bill are: Casket, case, plate,
etc,. $985; embalming and attendance of
four men $168; hearse and carriages at
Washington, $146.50; eight pail-bearers,
$65; attendance, with three assistants, $00;
crupe, gloves, and ribbon, $48.50; wreath,
cross, and loose flowers, $68; box for
flowers and freight for the same, $27.72;
tickets to New York, $58.75; at Williams-
town, Mass, crape, gloves, and opening
grave, $26; for services, $450; for services
of assistants, $900; lor sundries $21.
If the statement of Mr. Sartoris can be
taken as authoritative, his marriage to Miss
Nellie Grant will not take place until
October next. During a. conversation with
some gentlemen at Welcker‘s a few even-
ings since, he is said to have remarked that
the President and Miss N ellic were anxious
to have it postponed until the Fall, so that
some particular friends who are now travel-
ing in Europe could be present. “That
suits me and my people as well as any
other time,” said he,“becausc they can all
be here by that time; and furthermore, I
want to take a short run over home before
my marriage,” Yesterday, afternoon Mr.
Sartorisand Miss Nellie took a long drive
behind the new four in hand turnout. They
attracted much attention, as a matter of
course and all the envious young people re-
marked,such an exhibition might be suited
to the young John Bull, but so much horses
and so much outriders and buttons and
velvet and livcries, didn’t become plain,
American Republican life and manners.
Miss Nellie is a sensible and pretty well
behaved young Miss, and it is to be hoped
she will have enough of her father's firm-
ness to make her young future husband
part the sandy locks on his high, intellect-
ual head, elsewhere than in the middle, as
now.
Miss Grant made the acquaintance of her
afiianced on the European Steamer last
summer, and it is said to be a true love
match. May peace and happiness attend
the innocent young pair.
A decision hard upon the jchus was ren-
dered Yesterday in the U. S. Supreme
Court, in the case of your Ct. Traveler-5’-

was decided in favor of the company, the
court deciding that it was against just such
reckless driving that the company intended
to protect itself by the terms of the policy.
Yesterday Mr. Carpenter. the acting Vice-
President, convulsed the Senate and galler-
ies by presenting the following pointed evi-
dence that the“Temperance Woman’s Tidal
Wave” was about to sweep over that an-
gust body: ,
NEW Yonx, March 18,1874.
To Senator Carpenter, President of the
Senate: ‘
As the tidal wave of the temperance cru-
sade will soon reach Washington, in behalf
of the army of women who are alive to the
movement, we ask you to join our ranks.
Your high position, your well-known elo-
QIIencc, and your championship of women
mark‘you as the man to step to the front.
We want you and Senators Chandler. and
Sprasue to form a committee to receive our
praying band at the bar of the Senate.
Congress is beginning to recognize this
leading reform. The hill just passed to in-
vestigate drunkenness proves this. Will
you read this appeal to the Senate, asking
permissron to receive our band under the
escort of your chaplain ?
Yours, in behalf of the crusaders,

No. 41 West 20d: street.
This letter was unanimously endursed at
Harry Hill’s saloon muss meettug on Sun-
day evening, with the request that the ans-
wer be read at an early meeting of the
crusaders. Mus. P. R. Lawnnucn,

The letter was referred to the Committee
on Finance and ordered to lye-printed. amid
much merriment.
A fresh boquet of buds and cut flowers is
daily placed upon the Senatorial desk so
pathetically made vacant by the sad ion
and untimely death of Mr. Sumner. Mr.
Ferry, of Michigan, has entered a request
for the seat, and will occupy it in the. fu-
ture. * '
The Treasury ladies join in a very
earnest appeal to our Representative, Mr.
Kellogg, for some just and adequate scale of
compensation for their work. The most
unequal-and indefensible rules prevail for
the payment of lady employees, while every
boy messenger and negro sweeper is paid
according to a regular and systematic rule.
Then when the pay is fixed as it should he,
let the Congressional Committee call archi-
tect Mullct’s attention to the abominable
ventilation. or lack of any ventilation,
existing through the Treasury Department.
The atmosphere breathed there by young
girls and delicate matrons, is enough to kill
a horse. Sunken eyes and sick-headaches
are the rule with these poor women. It is
adisgrace to our modern civilization that
in one of the finest—I think the finest—
public buildings the Nation mvns, there
should be such an utter dearth of fresh and
pure air. '

‘ There are many reasons why the success of
the Republicans next month is strongly de-
' sirable, but there is no reason more powerful
than the necessity ofmaintaining our present
registry law, and the certainty that the law
'will be repealed and the floodgates of fraud
reopened if the Democrats are allowed to
come into power. That they intend to repeal
the law and tear down the obstacles which
it throws in the way of illegal voting has
been plainly evident from the first. The par-
ty leaders make no concealment of their
designs in that direction; and now, one of
the party organs, the Litchfield Ssnfincl,
boldly avowa the design as part of the Dem-'
ocrats’ intended policy, saying:
We hopgto see this registry law and also
the law embarrassing the naturalization of
aliens. either totally repealed or amended in
important particulars, and we confess that
we are personally in favor of their unquali-
fied repeal. They were conceived in party
iniquity, and merit the just condemnation of
those they were enacted to afi'ect, and we
make hold to say that so far as our journal
is concerned our voice is repeall repealll
repeal! l i.
This expresse's the determination of the
Democrats in unmistakable terms. It rc-.
mains to be seen whether the honest voters
of Connecticut, of whatever party. will en-
dorse this shameful policy, and decide to re.
establish the old system of fraud and cor-
ruption which so olten led to the most dis-
graceful violation of the purity of the ballot
box and cheated the State out of its honest
verdict at the polls. The preservation of
the registry law is a matter which vitally
concerns the honest men of all parties, and
for this reason alone, and laying aside all
other considerations, we do not see how
any one who is desirous of maintaing justice
and public and private integrity can consent
to aid in putting that party in power which
openly proposes to restore the old fraudu-
lent practices which formerly made our
larger cities infamous and promised to sad-
dle aminiature Tammany upon the State.
Republicans should also remember that
with the registry law repealed and the Demo
ocrats in control of the machine of Govern-
ment, it would be a matter of great difficul-
ty to regain the State, on account of the
fraudulent votes which would be cast
against us by Democratic repeaters, as in
former times. In a word, the continuance
of honest government in this State is now
seriously menaced. The freemen of Con-
necricut should understand the issue, and
meet it boldly—Nero Haven Courier.

Thonuscum of Art.
The trustees of the Metropolitan Museum
of it have made a most wise appointment
in selecting as the executive officer of that
important institution, Mr. Vincent Colycr
in whose charactcr and capability there is
abundant warrant for confidence. Under
Mr. Colyer‘s management the Museum will,
we feel sure, move forward to take its prop-
er place among (or at the head of) our most
popular local attractions, and. at the same
time continue to be the subject of conscien-
tious devotion on the part of all interested
in its affairs. There is an infectious zeal
about the newly-appointed manager, which,
added to his long experience in the work of
organizing and carrying out artistic,philan-
thropic, and religious projects, will compel
the public to take an interest in the great
work undertaken by the Metropolitan Mu~
scum of Art, and thus lift it promptly to its
proper place in the minds and hearts of the
masses. That Mr. Colycr is precisely the
right man in the right place for the accom-
plishment of this work, no one who knowa
him will doubt. The Museum of Art has
of late gained quite a hold upon popularity,
as is evidenced by the crowds attendant up-
on its free exhibitions. During some of
these free days more than two thousand
persons have visited the Museum. That
this popular appreciation of one of our
most public-spirited enterprises will grow
to a remarkable degree under Mr. Colyer’s
managerial tact and skill we cannot permit
ourselves to doubt. The Museum ought to
be our greatest local lion, Central Park
alone excepted; and we now shall confi-
dently expect it to become still more widely
