Editorial Letter.
Wxsmxorox, March 281b, 1874.
DEAR GAZETTE :—The legislation of the
current week has been of the'gravcst char-
acter. On Monday the House, by a large
votc,passed a bill legalizing the issue of
, theforty-four millions reserve. On Thurs-
day, after a long and weary debate, the
Senate passed its bill (by a‘ vote of 29 to 2-6)
to the same end. So that after all these
years, we find ourselves back again to pre-
cisely where we were at the end of the war,
so far as redemption of our greenbacks is
concerned. .
Itwill be remembered the outside limit
‘- -ever authorized by law was four hundred
millions of paper money. During the last
days of Mr. McCullough’s treasuryship
Congress passed a law that “four millions
per month of this issue should be retired
and cancelled.” For eleven months this was
done, so far as the retiring part of the en-
actment was concerned, and forty-tour mil-
lions were thus'piled up in the vaults of the
Treasury. There can be no honest doubt
that the phrascology and intent of that law
clearly meant that this four million per
month should be so “cancelled” or defaced
as to be unissuable again. And were there
a doubt the discussion at the time the act
was passed would have put such a cavil at
an end. Subsequently, and following, as a
natural result, after the great Wall street
“Black Friday” panic, a law passed that
there should be no further reduction. This
left our legalized issue at three hundred and
fifty-six millions. And this was our finan-
cial condition, when, early last fall, Mr.
Richardson, then Assistant Secretary, but
acting Secretary in the absence of Mr.
Boutwell, yielded to the pressure caused ‘by
the panic and opened the vaults and'brought
forth this retired stock of promises to pay,
and immediately commenced their issue.
It is fair to him as present head of the
Treasury, that in this self-asserted and
clearly unwarranted action, he had the
President’s and Secretary Boutwell’s ap-
proval,—the exigencies of the times and
of the country justifying this extraordinary
stretch of power. ' -
Up to the present time twenty-six mil-
lions of this once retired circulation has
been put afloat, and the present action of
Congress not only heals and justifies the
action of the Secretary of the Treasury, but
authorizes him to issue the remaining
eighteen millions now in hand, and which
is the balance of the total forty-fourmillions
once retired. This, as soon as put into cir-
culation, returns ‘the national issues to the
grand original foil-r hundred millions.
While the contractionists in Congress
view their signal and overwhelming defeat
with undisguised apprehension, it may yet
be fraught with satisfactory results, if only
some wise and practical mode be now de-
vised, by means of which some sort of re-
demption may be inaugurated. One thing
is of the greatest consequence to the busi-
ness public,—-the fact is now established
that there is to be no further contraction.
All calculations and enterprises will now
be made on the basis of more and not less
greenbacks. To use the apt simile of the
eldquent Senator from Missouri, Mr. Schurz,
our yardlstick is going to be lengthened and
not shortened. Sagacious financial men
will forecast their afiairs accordingly, and
this great growing and glowing nation will
ride the crested wave of expansion.
This action also pretty clearly settles the
question that there will be no additional
taxation imposed. Nor will the tarifi‘ be
materially changed. Sprague, of our sister
state, was the only New England Senator
who voted with the infiationists, and one
so badly needing money as he, is per-
haps justified in such action. Eight demo-
cratic- Senators flew into the face and eyes of
all their party’s hard-money doctrines, and
voted with the inflationists. .
Mr. Sherman introduced a sort of com-
, promise financial bill providing for the re-
tiring of the volume of our legal tenders by
their conversion into ‘a five per cent. bond,
which were to be the basis of free banking.
Gov. Buckingham gave this measure his
support. But the inflationists had it all
their own way, and there was no sight for
anything squinting towards resumption on
such a field day.
We are inclined to think the feature of a
convertible bond bearing three hundred
and sixty-five one-hundredths per cent. per
annum, such as Mr. Buckingham advocated
last summer, would secure a very influen-
tial if not a successful following. Gen.
Ncagley, of the House, has abill embracing
substantially this feature, and is attracting
deserved attention. He proposes to have
these bonds in denomination as small as
ten dollars and multiples thereof, and the
interest payable monthly and quarterly,
with a view of makings sort of savings
bank security of them for poor people.
His bill also designs to allow the national
banks to deposit them as security for their
notes, and also increase their present circu-
lation twenty-five per cent. under certain
restrictions of redemption upon the basis
of this new class of bonds; then bpa grad-
ual substitution of them for the present de-
posits of five-twenties and ten-forties for
the security of their circulation absorb
same five hundred millions of them.
Gov. Buckingham gave notice that he
should-call up -on Monday his bill to pro-
vide “' 'frce banking and resumption of
.iyments upon the issuance of five
' bonds, and urged its consideration.
an. Howard investigation thus far
Lows him to have been the same victim of
misplaced confidence that Gen. Spinner was
when his subordinates stole under his nose,
and that other officers have been who have
had rascals for subordinates.
An absorbing interest is felt in the sena-
torial contest going on in Massachusetts
over the election of Mr. Sumner’s success-
or. The Republicans of that state, whoever
their choice may be, cannot aflord to have
it go forth that they propose to administer
a chastisement to so old and faithful a. pub-
lic servant as Mr. Dawes simply because he
did or did not see fit to champion one side
or the other of their bitter Simmons fight.
We belive the facts are that he sided with
neither party, but kept himself entirely out
of the domestic quarrel.
The liveliest possible interest is also felt
in our own state election. All the later in-
formation trom‘difi'crent sections of the
good old commonwealth go to show a new
awal’ ng,—incrcascd activity and decided

South Norwalk had another scare, (and
fortunately itwas only a scare,) on Tuesday
morning last. About daybreak a fire was
discovered in Merrill’s'saldon, in the base-
ment under Peck’s drug store. An alarm
was promptly sounded and a messenger
dispatched to the Borough for help. The
citizens quickly responding to the alarm,
were enabled to quench the fire before it
could get a fail; start, thereby undoubtedly
preventing a serious conflagration. As it
was, the damage by fire was confined to
that one building, and the entire damage
was more by water and the removing of
goods than by fire. For safety the post
office was removed across the street into
Mr. Ely’s new block. Our Borough fire-
men promptly respondcd to the request for
aid, and the Phccnix boys had started with
the hand engine, (the steamer being out of
town for repairs.) when they were stopped
by another messenger who announced that
the fire was out, so they returned back to
the house with their apparatus. Mayor
Weed gave his consent for the engine and
one hose jumper to go down.

your vote. Look well to your tickets, and
trust mine that the enemy have turned over
against you. Be careful to see that you
vote for the right men. REMEMBER that a

vote to REPEAL your REGISTRY Law.
Now that Spring has opened‘and people

posts, and not leave it piled up half way
across the street as was the practice of last
season. The work so left is not only un-
sightly but very unpleasant for those riding

only annoying but hurtful on accountof the
unpleasant jarring. “A Word to the wise.”

THE BIBLE SOCIETY.
The annual meeting of the Bible Society
of Norwalk and its vicinity, was held at
the 2d M. E. church on Sunday evening
last. The. attendance was very large, the
church being crowded. Dr. Asa Hill,
President of the Society, conducted the
exercises. Rev. S. B. S. Bissell ofi‘ered the
opening prayer ; J. W. Wilson, Secretary,
read his annual report; Rev. M. N. Olms
stead, who has been employed asaMis-
sionary for the past. three months, read a
report of his operations; addresses were
made by Revs. J. A. Hamilton and E. D.
Bentley, and Dr. A. Hill. The election of
ofilcers resulted as follows: President, Dr.
A Hill; Vice President, Rev. S. IB. S.
Bisscll; Secretary, Joseph W. Wilson;
Treasurer, Jas. L. ZAmbler; Depositary,
Andrew Selleck. A collection was taken
amounting to $20.85. The music was by
the Methodist choir, under the leadership
of Mr. Dunning. It; was announced that
Rev. 2,11. N. Olmstcad , had been engaged as
Missionary for the ensuing year, at a salary
of $1,000. The meeting closed with the
benediction by Rev. Mr. Pegg.
MEssns. EDITOR—Being present at the
Temperance meeting at South Norwalk on
Sunday, I was much surprised and disap-
pointed with A. D.Bl‘ush, who attempted
to malign and call to account the acts and
judgment of the Hon. 0. S. Ferry in regard
to his ideas of Constitutional and State law
as shown by his letter to the Young Men’s
Christian Association of Meriden. While I
hope the Senator will survive under the
shock,I fear by such talk and assertions
the Temperance cause will retrogade, for
an animated discussion ensued immediately
after the meeting. He also thought those
who took the GAZETTE were unfortunate,
and those only fortunate who did and
thought as he did.
The public have had enough of such.

Masons EDITORS :-
I told you last week
that Senator J. W. Ferry had requested to
have Mr. Sumner‘s vacant seat and that it
had been allotted to him. This was true,
but the slut being on the outer tier and
while not is desirable as many there to an
active member, it was very convenient of ac-
cess. Thi led our Senator Ferry to propose
an excha c with his namesake from Mich-
igan, whi he was no doubt glad to do, as
but a bit less convenient of approach. So
that by a titling—I had almost said a pain-
fully sugg'estive—appropriateness, Senator
0. S. Fatty now occupies the desk of the
great Massachusetts deceased. Those who
have DEOII here this winter are aware that a
high, clunsy, iroqfence has been placed in
position Immediately in rear of the outer
circle ofSenator’s seats. It is a mystery
what so uncouth and unsightly an. erection
was ever put there for. It suggests itself to
my mind that it may have been to save those
Senator‘s tons and dapper httle Seeretares
(so manymf whom rt their hair in the
middle)—tnd who ', onstantly grace the
rear floor1 of the Senate with their pres‘
once—from being contaminated by the
grave and reserved Senators (?) It may
be, it was put up,.so as to have a" r”
of the Seiate. The one in the rest at
down stairs, having been discontinued—in a
Pickwicklan sense—I marvel that the Son-
ators will put up with such an annoying
nuisance Lto themselves, in getting in and
out of their seats, to say nothing of its un-
graceful appearance. ‘
General Fremont was on the floor of the
Senate Thursday. Yesterday he left the
city for California. Mrs. “ Jessie" and her
children are in the West Indies, where they
naive spent the winter. News 'was received
here only a; few days since that Mrs. Fre-
mont’s only sister, and Senator Benton’s
youngest daughter, died in France recently,
heart-broktn and poor, while her husband,
once one of the heads of the French Lega-
tion herefand where he won and married
Miss Benton, was in prison. . He was incar-
ceraIed because of his complicity with Gen.
FremontIIn the sale of Pacific Railroad
bonds, which proved to be worthless;in
Francc,such a misfortune is adjud ed and
punished as a crime. -
What a sad, sad ending of the once rich,
proud and imperious Benton family. These
all over our land. but perhaps they are more
conspicuously marked in our political bio-
graphies than elsewhere. The family names
of full three-quarters of all our Presidents
commencing with Washington,have perish-
ed from; the land, The Clays, Beptons,
Webstels, Calhouns and other giants of our
earlier political history, have died leaving
no descendants to maintain the ancestral
fame of their fathers.
A pathetic case in point, is that of Thom-
as C. Walter, the architect who designed the
Capitol and Trtasury extensions, the dome,
etc., and who lost all the savings of his life
in the collapse of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road. De has become so impoverished, it is
said, that he gladly accepted the position of
draughtsman for Col. Thomas Scott at a
salary of $150 per month. Mr. Walter has
in time past been recognized as the greatest
classical architect of this country and has
paid out for government buildings, more
than twenty millions of dollars, and yet he
finds abject poverty at the end of his long
and honorable career.
Engineers and workmen are now laying
out the new Capitol grounds under the guid-
ance of Mr. Fred Law Olmstead. The gov-
ernment ought to extend these grounds an—
other square North, East and South, and
extend the West approach up to 3rd St. on
the North side of Penn. AVenuc. Thus en-
larged, some dignity of area and beauty of
landscape arrangement and adornment
might be maria Circumsarihorl no at pron.
cut, the grandeur of the great Capitol is
dwarfed and marred.
The reigning impulse for economy and the
falling off of government revenues, have
caused a sad flutter among the lady employ-
ees of the Treasury and other Departments.
They learn that quite a number of discharges
are in comtemplation, and they being the
weakest, expect to go to the wall first. The
nervous agitation among most of these poor
women is truly distressing. While to those
who are on the ground, these places may be
a God-send, because there are no other ave-
nues open here to women for genteel and re-
munerative enmployment. At the North,
where ladies can engage in teaching school.
music, etc., or obtain respectable employ-
ment in certain manufactories even, it is a
foolish thing to get crazy as so many do, to
get places in the Departments here. The
worry of getting a place and the greater
worry of keeping it when attained, destroys
about all the comfort a woman of delicacy
can wring out of one of them. I would
rather be post-mistress at West Norwalk or
Winnipauk, than to have the best lady
clerkship here.
Gen. Grant has done more than any
President we-have ever had towards recog-
nizing woman's-deserving and capacity for
holding civil offices throughout the country
and the universal verdict is, that his ex-
periment is a complete success. Out of the
over three thousand post-offices in the
single state of Pennsylvania, about one
hundred and fifty are ofilcered by women.
The important post-office at Reading is in
charge of a woman, as also the offices at
Pottsville, Lancaster, Columbia and Maunch
Chunk. Recently the post-office at Manas-
sas over in Virginia became vacant, and the
P. 0. Department asked the retiring P. M.
to recommend a successor. He invited a
vote to be taken of all persons over 16 years
of age, who were in’the regular receipt of
their mail at this office. And to’ show the
opposers of female sufi'rage,that the women
did not take any “mean advantage,” I send
you the following vote as certified to and
sent here to the Department :—
Whole number of votes . . . . . . 328
Number ot'white voters . . . . . 213
H: “ colored “ . . . . . . 115
“ male “ . . . . . 284
“ female “ . . 94
voters betwceh1-6and 2i . . 27
The result was as follows:
(I
For Mrs. L. Adelia Pine, . . . . . 303
For Mr. Jacob Depue. . . . . . . 25
Both candidates had simultaneously
sought the office, but both good naturedly
agreed with the ex-p. m. to leave it to be
decided by ballot. The result was pleasant
for the lady but rather hard on Jacob.
Mrs. S. M. Parker has also been appoint-
ed Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue
for the 4th district of Indiana. This is the
first lady ever appointed to the position of
collector of internal revenue.
The President is constantly showing his
appreciation of the fitness of women to hold
various positions ,of honor and profit.
Heretofore most of his appointments of
women have been to the position of “post
master.” He has now appointed a young
lady, Pension Agent at Chicago, a. position
ofhigh importance and responsibility. He
was induced to do Ethis because he was
convinced from the representation of reliable
parties that she is fully capable of discharg»
ing the duties of the ofilce in a satisfactory
manner. 'The Senate took the same view
of the case, and confirmed the nomination
without the usual reference to a. committee.
Her name is Miss Ida C. Sweet, and she is
the daughter of the late Gen. Sweet, and
had shown her efficiency and capacity to
execute the duties of the office during her
father’s fatal Illness. It is the most lucra-
tive civil office yet conferred upon a lady,
and is Is said to be worth from eight to ten
thousand dollars per year! Won’t all the
nice young men he need on Miss Ada?

DI. SGIIEIGI'S “AIDA“ REMEDIES.
The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are Schenck’s Pulmom'c Syrup, Scltcnc/c’s Seu-
chd Tonic, and Schenck’s Mandrake Pills, and
if taken before the lungs are destroyed, a speedy
cure is efiected. To these three medicines D. J. 11.
Schcnck. of Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled suc-
cess in the trunnion; of pulmonary diseases. The
l’ulmouic Syrup ripcns the morbid matter in the
lungs; nature throws it otf by an easy expcetorn-
tion, for when the phlegm or matter ls ripe a slight
cough will throw it on’, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal. To enable the l’ulmonic Syrup
to do this, Schenck’s Mandrake Pills and Scheuck’s
Sea-weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. achcnck’s Mandrake I'ills act
on the liver, removing‘all obstructions, relax the
gall bladder, the bile starts Ircely, and the liver is
soon relieved. Schcnck’s Sea-weed Tonic is agen-
tlc stimulant and alteratlve; the alkali of whlch it
is composed mixes with the food and prevents
soaring. It assists the digestion by tonlng up the
stomach to a healthy condition, so that the food
and Pulmonic Syrup will make good blood; then
the lungs heal, and the patient wtll surely get well -
it care ls taken to prevent fresh cold.
Dr. Schenck can be consulted at the Quincy
House, Boston, on Wednesday. March 25th. A m
