Edltorlal Letter.
Wasnnrorox, April 25th, 1874.
Dean Gaznr'rn:-—The President's veto
of the four hundred million bill is the event
or the week, although there has been much
important legislation which otherwise
would have challenged public attention.
The‘veto was a double surprise. The con.
tractionists, after what had transpired at
the White House between the President
and the interviewers from Boston and New
York, were knocked completely from their
reckoning. The- inflationists, who were.
quite sure they “knew their man," were
dumbfounded. There was, among Con-
gressmen, no concealment of the delight of .
the one party and the chagrin of the other,
and the complete astonishment of both.
The inflationists. at first, were disposed to
be censorious, and Morton remarked, “The
President might as well try to dam the His-
sis‘sippi with a straw as to attempt to arrest
the demand of the people for more money."
The spirit and emphasis of his utterance
suggested a feeling in his own mind that
there should be a profane “n” as a terminal
letter on his word descriptive of the river
obstruction. A caucus was held under his
lead, and the question of the veto and the
“best thing to be done under the circum-
stances,” maturely considered. Since then
it has been given out that the vetoed bill
was not what they wanted after all, and
that the President has only convicted him-
self of an inconsistency, as the measure
pnly legalized the illegal issue made of the
reserves once drawn in and by law ordered
by the same enactment to be cancelled.
The contractionistaraver that the President
has now so fully and squarely cemmitted
himself, that he cannot retract even if he
desired to do so, and therefore the country
is safe from the dangers of any further in-
crease of our irredeemable currency. The
sentiment grows daily, that the next move
will be in the direction of free banking,
witha partial destruction of greenbacks,
as rapidly as currency is issued to the banks,
compelling the banks to redeem in green-
backs 'and redeeming the greenbacks in a
low interest bond. Judge Kelly, of Pa.,
and Freeman Clark, of N. Y., and formerly
controller of the currency, have both feasi-
ble and sensible bills substantially as above.
But the veto was an explosion that has
scattered fragments of the various financial
schemes in all direclions, and it will take
weeks, perhaps months, before a raft even
can be be formed that will float on the tem-
pestuous sea of conflicting sentiment. .
On Monday the death of Mr. Sumner is
to be announced, and on Tuesday it is pro-
posed to consider the veto in the Senate.
An effort will be made to have the debate
deferred till later in the week,but at this
writing there is no certainty that the propo-
sition will prevail.‘ Connecticut, during all
the financial contest, has been solid against
inflation. Even Mr. Barnum has so for ad-
hered to the democracy of the fathers as to
stick for a “specie basis.” He is now absent
in Connecticut, with a squint, it is said,
towards the seat so soon _to be vacated by
Senator Buckingham. Jnformation which
daily reaches us here is to the effect that
he lras the support of the live men or work-
ers of his party, and is therefore ahead in
the race—That Mr. Eaton has a strong fol-
lowing, but it is' of the “ancient regime”
and “fossils” of the party, who sit down
heavy but don’t count much where adroit,
manipulating work is to be done. While,
in a party sense, the extreme views of Mr.
Eaton and his unreserved utterances would
no doubt furnish us Republicans with the
most political capital, were he in the Sen-
ate, yet, so far as promoting Connecticut
interests are concerned, he never could hope
to attain Mr. Barnum’s success in accome
plisbing results. These be pastures green
and new to our democratic friends, and
they must pardon us for a peep into their
enclosure and an observation of their ani-
mals flushing their greedy appetites.
Representative Kellogg has now pre-
sented and carried through the House a bill
‘for the reorganization-of the War Depart-
ment, which will save about two hundred
thousand dollars annually in that branch of
the government. The General is one of, if
not the most incessant and successful work.
er in Congress. The long, patient labor
and critical toil bestowed by him in stop-
ping the various leaks in the Departmental
services, entitle him to the gratitude of the
nation, and if Connecticut thinks half as
much of her own material interests and the
welfare of the country, as we do of party
distinction, she will not soon permit him to
retire from Congressional service.
Mr. Star-kweather has introduced a bill
taxing one-twentieth of one per cent. on all
sales of bonds, stocks, gold and promissory
notes. If it becomes a law it is believed
that it would yield not less than one hun-
dred thousand dollars a day in New York
alone, and prove the least onerous mode of
increasing the revenues that could possibly
be devised. On Thursday Mr. Starkweather
was the innocent cause the freestout-
burst of treasonnble senti ent yet made on
the floor of the House since the war. In
what was known in our State as Mr. S.’s
campaign speech he handled without gloves
the utterances of Mr; John Young Brown,
an ex.-rebel fl‘om Kentucky, and incorpora-
ted-a letter in which the Kentuckian invok-
ed “shooting dowu on the spot any man
from his State who should enlist in defense
of the Union.” Subsequently Brown eu-
logized the traitor Breckenridge who vio-
lated his oath as Vice President, and march-
ed from the U. S. Senate into the ranks of
the rebellion. After “nursing his wrath to
keep it warm,” for six weeks, Mr. Brown
fired his broadside into Mr. Starkwealher.
He sent to the clerk’s desk the letter of Mr.
S. to Mr. Huntington, asking pecuniary aid
in defraying the expenses of his election,
&C. As compared with this letter of Stark-
weather’s,vthe patriotic BroWn, who is here
by the grace of the Republican vote forgivo
ing his treason, said be infinitely preferred
the record of his own letter. His demo-
cratic colleagues, it was plain to see, were
painfully anxious to have him “get down,”
for he had lost all self-possession, and was
proving amost damaging bovine in their
political crockery shop. Afler he had ex-
pended his treason, his stilted epithets and.
his wind, he sat down with a face scarlet
with ago. Mr. Starkweather, by his entire
. commas of tone and demeanor, completely
turned the tables upon his heated adversary,
and by a frank and candid statement of all
the circumstances connected with his ap-
plication for aid in his' canvass, seemed to
completely satisfy every fair~minded listen.
or of his complete vindication. He said it
was written prior to the passage of the act
creating the Board of Public Works here
and had no possible connection therewith.
That he had votcd'agaiust that measure and
his subsequent position as chairman of the
Distr-ict,Committce,had never been used by
him for his own or any friend’s advantage.
He had declined to recommend any one for
a place or for a contract under the District
Government. Nobody is likely to regret
the exciting debate except the political
friends of the gentleman from Kentucky;
least of all has Mr. Starkwcatbcr, as it is
the first fitting opportunity he has had for
explanation and self vindication. The ex-
citement ran wild, and all order for a time
seemed at an end. Mr. Woodford, of New
York, was in the clrnir, and while presiding
with impartiality and dignity, ruled the la-
multuous elements into decorum with a
magical celcrity not. excelled even by the
Speaker. Mr. Blaine stood n- r the desk,
apparently delighted with the graceful and
successful manner his turbulent boys were
being controlled. ,
The Memoriallsts have closed their case
before the District Investigation Committee.
Astrong feeling in thOr of putting the Dis-
trict Government under a Commission is
rapidly extending among members. Gov.

two who shriuld head such a board._.
There was a two hours’ cabinet meeting

Senator Ferry designed makinga visit
home“ the- lat of May, but the financial
struggle likely to grow out of the veto has
induced him to reconsider his purpose. .Up
to within the past two weeks the Senator’s
chronic malady seems to have been some-
what aggravated by the malarial epidemic
prevalent here. But since then, he has been
daily improving and is probably in better
health now than at anytime within the
past year. This statement of facts ought
to put at rest the rumors of his contemplat-
ing an immediate surrender of his Senate-
rial seat or breath, so industriously, but eI-
roneously put afloat.
Yesterday Senator Windom submitted
his report on Western and seaboard trans-
portation. This is the most important sub-
ject .which has engaged the attention of
Congress for years, afl'ecting as it does the
cost of bread to every household in the
land. The Senator‘s report and speech
evinced a thoroughness of examination and
grasp of statesmanship frilly worthy the
subject, and which must add' flesh laurels
to his already well recognized ability.
The name of E. G. Bidwell was sent to

A curious, and ‘as yet unexplained bur'

notified by an anonymous letter from New
York of the intended raid, and setting a
watch the chief operator was nabbed and
all the papers secured. The others escaped.

Tun Corrosion—The entertainment to be
given at the Opera House, Thursday eve-
ning, under the auspices of the New Canaan
Choral Union, promises to he exceeding-
ly enjoyable. It is seldom we have so much
talent crowded into one evening's entertain-
ment, and a glance at the programme will
convince all that -it is seldom we have so
much music for one price of admission.
Persons who have had experience in getting
up first-class concerts well know that the
entertainment would not begin to pay cx-
penses if the managers were obliged to pay
the ladies and gentlemen from abroad who
have volunteered their services for the ben-
efit of the New Canaan church. Many
of our citizens have heard these singers,
and are enthusiastic in their praises. . The
performers from Connecticut are also well-
known and will be sure to please. We hope
the audience will test the capacity of the
Opera House. Reserved seats, without. ex-
tra charge, can be had at L. Weed’s. the
side commencing this morning.
The collector of the South Not-walk Union
School District has caught the fever, and is

tax-payers, especially those who have to

property and have not the funds to do it
with; others, however, who can pay but
won't pay ought to have no sympathy wast-
ed upon them.
The ladies of the 2d M. E. church, desir-
ous of making their pastor and wife as com-

out about one hundred and fifty dollars in
improving the pasonnge,—putting down

lay they propose to give a tea party, at the
church, next week Wednesday evening, May
6th, of course it will be an enjoyable affair,
so prepare for it. .

The Borough mceling held on Friday
afternoon last was largely attended, and
some features about it ere rather strange.
The most noticeable hug, perhaps. was
the number present; we have attendeda
Borough meeting when the sum of $25,000
was voted away, when it was necessary to-
send to the Bridge to drum up enough
voters to make‘ the number required bylaw,
—-twenty. Another thing was the democrat-
ic cast of countenance of the large majority
of voters present. The Mayor, a democrat,
presided, as was proper and right. The
first business introduced was by an ambi-
tious young man, strangely enough a demo-
crat, praying the appointment of a com-
mittee with unlimited power to amend the
Borough charter and to petition the legisla-
ture to legalize the same. This document
called for the appointment of‘a committee
of five, including the name cf the mover, and-
a strange coincidence, four of the five per-
sons named were active democrats. Several
Republicans innocently inquired what
amendmentswere desired, but the moderator
was entirely unprepared to state, and no
one present volunteered any information.
Finally several other names were added to
the committee, and the proviso made that
the committee report at an adjourned meet-
ing to be held next Friday afternoon.
When the next business was introduced,—
the respectful claim of a tax-paying citizen
for damages actually sustained, and appar
cut to all,-—the Mayor produced an “opin-
ion” from the Borough atlorqey as to
.wlrether the Borough had the right to pay
any damages that might be awarded, at
this meeting, by vote of the Borough.
The official may have been prompted by
“zeal,” and nogby a desire to forestall the
action of the meeting, but the cost of the
legal opinion will help to swell the taxes so
much groancd about. The prayer for dam-
ages, respectfully made, instead of being
respectfully considered,as became honest,
fair-minded men in Borough meeting as—
sembled,'was treated with contempt and
voted down in away certainly unbecoming
American citizens in the exercise of public
duty. ‘Tlre meeting adjourned until next
Friday to hear the report of the committee
on amendments.

Water question, did not amont to much
except as it gave an opportunity for a few

sister village and appeared determined not
toafi‘ordany protection to their own citi-
zens against fire or do'anything to quiet the
clamor raised by the masses for water, if it
must come .in any way or shape through
the Borough! A committee of five wcr
appointed to estimate and survey new plan
of introducing water. ‘

' If South Norwalk really wants water,

should be glad to sec‘the gentleman’s pecu-

all children: Religion, the mother-tongue,
including writing and grammar, arithmetic,
practical elementary geometry, “alien (com-
prisin geography, history, the elements of
natura history, and the rudiments of phys-
ics), drawing, singing, gymnastics, and, for
girls, needlework. To each of the last four
branches the pupils of the upper classes
are required to give two hours weekly. In
giving the gymnastic exercises, the teacher
must follow the course laid down in the cm-
cial manual prepared for the purpose. The
Prussian teacher finds plenty of time to
teach all these branches cfi‘eetively, since he
uses the text-book only for reference, and
as an aid to the pupils-in preparing reviews.

The Grand Division, S. of T., held its
day last. All the officers attended 'pt
Grand Sentinel Northrop, of Southpor't». R.
L. Ells, of Concord,was appointed G. S.
G. W. P. Davenport read his report’, giv-
ing an account of work done and the Divi-
sions visited by him. G. Scribe Tucker
gave his report, giving the returns from the
Divisions and such other matters as needed
to be acted upon bythc Grand Division:
G, T. Batchelor reported about four hun-
dred dollars in the treasury. These reports,
with bills'and communications received,
were referred to the appropriate commit-
tees. .
At the noon rt czss the members of Hand-
in-Hand Division, whose guests the Grand
Division was, took the Representatives home
with them to dinner. All those who re-
mained to the close, or over night,were alto
provided for by their kind-hearted brothers
and sisters of Meridcn.
After dinner the early ones at the hall
were favored with a song,“Autumn Leaves,”
finely rendered by Bro. Rcdfield, of Meri-
den.
Thc recess over, matters of interest to the
Order were presented and acted upon. The
reports of the various committees were then
rcadand accepted. The following resolu-
tions, suggested by the G. W. P. in his re-
port, being approved of by the Committee
on the State of the Order, were 'then fully
and ably discussed scriatim,u'nd unanimous-
ly adopted:
Resolved, I. That wehcarliiy rejoice in
the new‘ and widespread interest manifest
in the cause of temperanceuand hail it as
the dawning ofa better day.
11., That we 're afllrm our faith in the Dr-
der we represent as an efficient means of
extendin c'or‘réct temperance principles.
In. hat we urge upon our subordinate
Divisions the duty of rising in the spirit of
the time to a more efficient prosecution of
their appropriate work.
IV. That “we recommend to such of
them as think their interests would be ad-
vanced‘thereby,tosuspend for atime the
by-law requiring a fee of all initiates into
their membership.
V. That we recommend the holding of
conventions of the Sons of Temperance at
such times and places as the Grand Worthy
Patriarch may think best to call them.
The Divisions throughout Fairlield coun-
ty seem to be the most thriving, as many.r.f
them are adding largely to their member-
ship. '
Hand-in-hand Division is comparatively a
newone, yet it has many members among
its reformed men of whom it may well be
proud. The ladies of Meriden are also
holding meetings intended to advance the
cause in that town.
Concord was represented by the W. P.,
R. L. Ella, and the G. 0., Mrs. W. A. Kel-
logg. ' ‘
A new Division of the Sons has been
formed in Bethel and numbers some thirty
members. Friday evening last Concord in-
itiated six new members.
It must'be very gratifying to the relatives
and friends of 'the deceased Jonathan
Camp, J r. ,—a former fellow-townsman, and
one who was much loved and respected by
all who knew bim,—to feel that by hisgen-
ial manners and manly conduct he had won
for himself. such respect and esteem as is
_ shown in the series of resolutions printed
in anozb.~r column. .
The funeral services of the deceased were
last week, and were e'onductcd by the asso.
ciate Rector, Rev. C. M. Selleck, who made
some very pleasant and impressive remarks.
After the services the casket was placed in
mains. We noticed quite a numer of his
Jersey City friends, who, as they look a
last look of their friend, plactd on
his coflin a small floral offering as a
token of sympathy. The floral emblems
were very beautiful and suggest-
ive. That, from his late partner, of the
dove on the broken shaft, was placed at the
head of the deceased. The ‘Nreath encir-
cling a heart on which were worked the
letters “J. 0.,” a token of sympathy from
the employees of the Board of Public
Works of Jersey City, and many other de-
signs, from his numerous-friends.

JI‘hc Presidents courageous action in
Veloingthc inflatioir bill, has wrung the
semi-annual session at Meridcn, on T urs- following fromthe Hartford Courant, one of
the papers which has been-“picking” at him
or several months past 2-—
Putse and Thanks.
General Grant has won for the country a
second Appomattox. He has risen above
the ignorance and prejudice of congress
and again saved the country. It required
no little firmness to do this under all . the
adverse influences about birn. He has
vetoed the currency bill. He has, for the
time at least, stopped inflation. He has
been true to his record, true to the consti-
tution, true to the interests of all men who
earn their bread by work ; he has again de-
clared for honestyjagainst dishonesty, lie
has kept the public faith. ’
It is a great victory, a great escape, and
we dcvoutly thank God for It; and we thank
the President of the United States with all
our heart. This vein is the noblest jewel in
the President’s renown, anti it will grow
brighter as years pass and we look back to
the abyss of national dishoner and disaster
into which we so nearly plunged. -
\Ve shall not allow ourselves to believe
that this action can be overturned, or that
the principle upon which the veto is given
can be departed front. This is, that there
shall be no more irrcdecmablc paper issued,
and that we shall set our faces towards
specie payment and a sound currency.
Whatever legislation may come, we shall
believe that it will look to an elimination of
the depreciated paper, and an invitation to
sound money to return and invigorate all
the channels of business.
We trust that the country—all in it that
loves honesty and good faith, and admires
pluck—will rally to sustain the President in
his noble position. We hope it will do this
with all the more enthusiasm because recent
events have ledit to fear a different resul
But General Grant has kept his own coun-
sel, and, at the opportune moment, he has
used most tellingly his great constitutional
power. No man in his place has ever used
it more bravely or in a better cause. And
history will hold him in great honor for it.
No single actof his will give him a higher
place than this.
