Wasnnvesotv, May 2d, 1874.
which have constituted the only special
feature of interest here the past week, were
in the main of the customary funeral strain.
In 'tl‘ie'Seim'tc, perhaps, a stricter effort was
made to speak of the dead Senator with
candor as well as praise. ln delineation of
personal characteristics, Senator Sherman’s
tribute struck us as being the most correct
and kindly impartial. Mr. Sergeant’s was
the most ornate. That of Mr. Thurman’s
Was as noble a tribute from the living as it
was to the dead. In constant political and
legal antagonism with the dead Senator,
Mr. Thurman, nevertheless, was unreserved
in his laudation of his fidelity to his own
convictions of truth, honor and duty. It.
was a pity such a beautiful and evidently
sincere a tribute, from the acknowledged
democratic leader of the Senate, should
have been so sadly marred only the next
day by his precipitating the unfortunate
and intensely disagreeable debate over the
reasons for Mr Sumner's removal from the
chairmanship of the committee on Foreign
Relations. Mr. Woodleigh, the new Sena-
tor from New Hampshire, and by far the
ablest and clearest headed man the Granite
State has ever sent to Congress since the
days of John P. Hale, gave a. short, crisp,
and worthy tribute to the memory of Mr.
8., and very appropriatelyand happily call-
ed to grateful remembrance that great
champion of anti-slavery, from New Hamp-
shire, whom Mr. Sumner found in the Sen-
ate battling the slave power almost single
handed when he entered it. In the fewest
words, it was one of the best things spoken
that day. Mr. Anthony concluded the ex-
ercises in the Senate by a glowing and‘
beautiful tribute to Mr. Sumner, and then
moved an adjournment. Mr. Sumncr’s seat
was vacant durinmthc exercises. A fine
bust of the dead Senator,just executed in
the Capitol by Preston Powers, a gifted son
of the late Hiram Powers, stood draped on
a pedestal to the left of‘ the Vice President,
while a boquet Of white buds, heavily
fringed with laurel leaves, stood at his right,
Many and eloquent culogies were pro-
nounced iu the-House; the most eloquent,
fervid and notable being that of Mr. Lamar,
of Mississippi. In all these speeches, how-
ever, with less than ahalf dozen excep-
tions, while laudeting in phrase, the lack of
genuine heart was most painfully apparent.
Perhaps this was inevitable from the strange
and unique character of the great Caeser
whom these orators came to bury. Nobody
could dispargc Mr. Sumner’s greatness Of
intellect, his culture, his laborious methods
of achieving and maintaining his great rcp-
utation. No breath of suspicion ever blew
its faintest breath upon his personal integ-
rity. Yet it is no doubt true that he had
seen so much littleness in the world, and
his great soul so recoilcd from and abhorrcd
it, that he often drifted into a too ready be-
lief in a want of integrity in those with
whom he chanced to differ. In short,liis
own convictions of any line of policy were
so clear, thorough and exhaustive thathe
could scarcely conceive liow another could
see difi’ercntly front himself and be honest.
Mr. Sumner was no exception to the gener-
al rule that the greatest of men have their
human weaknesses, else they would be
gods. Could Mr, Sumner, in early m'an-
liood, have been as devoted wedded to some
noble woman as he was to his books, and
as the head of a thrifty househrdd, found
his pure heart-currents flowing out in an
affectionate solicitude for an offspring that
should have anchored him to the realities
of life, the human and whatever there was
of a divine nature in him, would have ex-
perienced a growth which would have most
assuredly raised and rounded his character,
and secured for him an enduring fame as a
practical rather than theoretical benefactor.
Siicli,.we think, must be the judgment of
any who give Mr. Sumner’s character even
the most superficial examination.
Our Mr. Kellogg achieved another most
remarkable victory in the House, over both
Dawes and Garfield, chairman of the Ways
and Means AppropriationICommittce. It
was a strug e_ to cut out aclause in the
bill as reported,. compelling the Secretary
of the Treasury to get half of each green-
back and bond printed in New York, and
the other half to be done at the Treasury,
as now. Mr. Kellogg showed that while it
cost $750,000 simply to print the backs in
New York, the faces of all Government
promises to pay were executed at the
Treasury, they were numbered, trimmed,
counted, packed and boxed, ready for ship-
ment, for $500,000! Thus more‘ than
double the work was done at the Treasury
for two-thirds the cost incurred in sending
the work to New York. The struggle was
a fierce one, but there was no escape from
the logic of Mr. Kellogg’s ugly figures, and
he again won a Weilingtonian victory to
add to his last week’s lanrels. Mr. Kellogg,
by his indomitable industry, skill and can-
dor, is a growing power in the House.
Such a triumph over both Of the leading
committees has been seldom, if ever wit-
nessed before, and as a natural result Mr.
K’s congratulations were many and
sincere.
Senator Sherman is understood to be
diligently at work trying to bring some
sort of order out of the chaos of our finan-
cial antagonisms, The basis of the efforts
between the inflatiouists and rctrenchcrs is
to be established upon a system of free
banking. Caucuses of the inflationists are
held at the rooms of Senator Morton almost
nightly, but as it is settled in their'own
minds, that they can never get what they
desire, in the way of new issues, with Grant
and his stubborn vetoes in the way, they are
disposed to accept some sort Of half loaf
rather than get no bread for their clamoring
constituents. .
The vote on the veto, came out in this
case, exactly as the newspaper memredict'
ed, in advance, that it would, 30 to 84. It
was fortunate the vote was crowded
through on Tuesday, for bad the effort to
put it over to yesterday been successful.
there is no conjecturing where the flood of
talk would have ended. .
Senator‘ Norwood, of Georgia, made a
most unfortunate speech for his own per-
sonal reputation and for the good of his
constituents, on Thursday. It was weak
and mean in matter, and worse, if possible,
in manner. The effort is not yet concluded.
the first attack, it is said, making him sick,
as it did everybody who listened to his
treasonablc diatribe. Never before did the
Senate so feel the want of the presence of
.ex-Senator Nye, to “respond.” There is

just as soon as concludes the disgraceful

The charter Amendments.
An adjourned Borough meeting was held
on Friday afternoon last, to consider the
proposed amendment to the charter. The .
committee reported the result oLtheir delib-
erations, and after rather freer: discussion.
lasting nearly two hours, the amendments
were adopted as follows :—
1. Limiting the number of Burgesscs to
six, and allowing each voter to vote for the
-whole number, instead of limiting the votes
Of each to one-half the number as' at pres-
cut.
’2. To limit the compensation which may
be received by the Warden and by each
Burgess so that the same shall not exceed
$25 per year each.
8. To limit the amount which may be ex-
pended by the Court of‘ Burgesses upon any
public work or improvement, without a vote
of the Borough, to $500 instead of $1,000,
as at present.
4. To provide that the Warden shall be
the presiding officer at all meetings of the
Court Of Burgesses, and in case .of a tie
shall have the casting vote.
5. To provide that the Senior Burgess,
when acting as Warden, shall have no pow-
er to draw warrants on the Treasurer, for
the payment of money unless such absence
or inability of the Warden shall have con-
tinued for at least three days.
6. To provide that not less than forty lo.
cal voters shall constitute a quorum for the
fransactiou of business at a special meeting
of' the Borough. ' »
7. To repeal so much of the amended
charter as provides that upon the construc-
tion Of a sewer the Court of Burgesses shall
assess not less than half its cost upOn
people benefitted thereby, and to provide
that the Court of Burgesscs may assess such
part of such cost upon the property benfittcd
thereby as they shall deem reasonable.
8. To authorize committees appointed to
make revassessments in case of the lay out
or alteration of highways, &c., to make
their reports to the Superior Court for Fair:
field County.
9. To repeal so much of the amended‘
Charter as provides that the Court of Bur-
gesses may reject the appraisal of freehold-
ers ap Ointed to make assessments in case
of the ayoni or alterations of highways, etc.
10. To provide that any Burgess who
shall accept any fee or reward offered for the
purpose of influencing his official action, or
who shall have any interest in any contract
for the furnishing of labor or material for
the Borough,shall forfeit his office and be
disqualified for re-election thereto. And to
repeal section 12 of the Act of 1871, amend-
ing the Charter.
11. To require the annual financial state-
ment now required by the Charter to be
made and published during the first week in
November of each year.

Sec. 1 is simply going back to first prin-
ciples. The democracy, feeling that they
are now strong enough, propose to run the
Borough machine alone, and to exclude all
Republicans from the management. When
the Republicans were in power, the democ-
racy thought the offices ought to be divided,
that politics ought not to be introduced in-
to Borough afia'irs, &c. Now they do not
want to “divide the responsibility.” At
South Norwalk, where the Republicans
propose the same actiOn, the democracy Ob-
ject, and say that it is “undemocratic.”
Sec. 2 will result in giving us fourth-rate
men for Warden and Burgesses, or men
who will accept the position simply to
grind private axes. This illibcrai section
is understood to have been etigineercd by
certain men of leisure, who are not willing
to serve as burgesses but prefer to serve
semi-occasionally as “appraisers” or “audi-
tors,” anti who charge and receive five
dollars per day (three or four hours) from
the Borough for such services. They are
quite willing to force their neighbors to fill
such responsible offices as Warden and
Burgesses for $25 per year. In addition
they tack on See. 10, forbidding a Burgess
to sell or to have interest in the sale of a
dollar’s worth of material to the Borough
on pain of forfeiting his office and being
disqualified for re-clectiou ! Rather-sweep-
ing, to say the least, and hard on the poor
democrats who are expected to fill the posi-
tions. Ifthcy are satisfied the public will
be.
Sec. 4, provides that the Mayor, in addi-
tion to his present ornamental duties, shall
preside at all meetings of the Court of Bur-
gesses,—and all for 25 per year. Very
good, indeed.
Sec. 5 is hard on the Senior Burgess. He
is required to perform all the duties of'the
Warden, in that Ofiicer’s absence or inabil-
ity, but is prohibited from drawing an order
on the treasurer until .the Warden has been
absent three days. Too bad he can’t be
trusted three days.
See. 6 is right and proper. If forty voters
cannot be found sufficiently interested in
the business to attend to the meeting,
the business ought to go by the board.
Sec. 7 should have been in force before
the West Ave, sewer was laid.
A proposition to send,a committee .of
three to New Haven to secure the passage
of these amendments—~or something else-—
was very properly quashed, and the War

“Out of the IIurly-Burly, or, Life in an
Odd Corner,” is the taking title of a new
book by Max Adeler, just issued by the
To-Day Publishing Company, Philadelphia.
It is one of the best of the many humorous
publications issued from the American
press, and unlike many of them, is really
very entertaining reading. It is witty
without being low anti vulgar, and the hu-
mor is quietly expressed in good English
without the extravagancies in spelling and
statement which has Often marred Other-
wise good productions. His pictures of
every day life are amusing, and the book
abounds in fan, wit and good nature. It is
illustrated by nearly 400 engravings by
Frost, Scheli, Sheppard & Bensell; is hand-
somely printed, and attgactively bound.
Agents are wanted by the publishers, and it
is a good book for agents toisell.

We were indebted to our New Canaan
friends, last Thursday evening, foravery
pleasant concert, at the Opera House. . In
turn they may well feel pleased with the
high compliment paid them by the fine at.
tendanee, for it is seldom, lately, .that such
an audience is gathered here. The first
part comprised selections from thcl‘amiliat
Cantata of" Daniel, which; were rendered in
a pleasing and satisfactory'm'annner. The
'chorus comprised about fifty voices, includ-
ing.thc New Canaan Choral Union, the
Baptist Choir of this BOroug, and a number
of vocalists from other places. To many
this was the best part of the programme,
for good,strong chorus singing is not heard
so frequently as in former. times. The solos
were generally very good and were receiv-
:ed'witli applause. The leading parts were
assigned as follows :-Daniel, baritone, P.
A, Thatcher; King, bass, Dr. W. G. Bron-v
son ; Queen, soprano, Miss EmilyRaymond ;
Azariah, tenor, Chester ‘Comstoek; Sister
of Azariiib, mezzo I soprano, Miss Julie
Taylor; ,Herald,,.teno_r,, Chas._ E. Hall.
Part Second opened with a recitation from
Mrs. Browning, very efi‘ectuaily rendered by
Mrs Jas. S. Earle, of this place, which was
warmly applauded. Mrs. Earle afterwards
sang a ballad,—her first public appearance
here as a vocalist. A trio, “The Old
Mountain '1‘ree,”‘by Miss Rilla E. BronsOn
and Messrs. W. F. and M. A. Bronson, of
Brooklyn, was one of ihe‘iest selections on
the programme. An Irish song, by Miss
Bronson, was encored, and was the gem of
evening; Miss Bronson has a rich, strong
contrallo voice, under perfect control, and
altogether charming. Mr. H. Sawyer Das-
kam, Stamford, sang Blume‘nthai’s "My
Queen,” and two ballads were sweetly sung
by Miss Beal, of Brooklyn. “Old Black
Joe,” was pathetically rendered, in charac-
ter, by Mr. Charles E. Hall. A duett,"'Lifo’s
Dream is o’er,” by Miss Bronson and Mr.
M. A. Bronson, was generally admired, and
a qnartette, “speed away” was sung by
Mchrs. Hail, Comstock, Corning and Slau-
son. “She Wander-ed down‘theMountain
Side” was pleasingly rendered by Miss.
Judson, of this town. A ballad. by Miss
Emily Raymond, a piano theft by Misses
Emma Comstoek and F. Bronson, and one
by Mrs. Corning and Louis Sutton, filled
out the rather too long programme. Mr.
W. 0. Coming, of New Canaan, acted as
Director, and Mrs. Corning’as organist and
pianist.
We were glad to notice in the audience
many ladies and gentlemen from New
Canaan.

man, Noroton l A short distance from this
station stands that noble institution founded
by Benjamin Fitch, Esq., of which Connec-
ticut‘ should ‘be' proud, called “Fitch’s
Home ;” instituted in 1874, for the benefit of
the orphans of Connecticut soldiers. It
consists of five 'acres of excellent land as a
garden for the “Home," a boarding house,
twenty-four b ninety-two feet, and a wing
for adining. all and school room above,
forty by sixty. There is also a new sub-
stantial brick building, a short distance
from the boarding house, for an art gallery,
forty by sixty,with two high stories and
basement room, and a. tower sixty feet
high. . From a room in this tower we have
one of the finest views Of Long- Island and
the Sound, with a splendid panoramic
view of the surrounding New England vil-
lagespwhicli dot the landscape in every di-
rection. In this gallery is a fine collection
oWintings and statuary, with a library of
2, volumes, which have all'bcen selected
with great care, beth from the Old and New
Worlds. Everything is chaste and suitable,
and is calculated to promote thorough edu-
cation, health, virtue, morality. and relig-
ion. . . -
The ori inal idea of the "Home" was the
training 0 the orphans of our fallen Con-
necticutfsoldiers. But as‘ these annually
grow .less in numbers, it is proposed to con-
tinue it as a homefor orphans in general.
To aid this enterprise and promote the in-
terests of these orphans, as the State and
town aids are diminishing, a system of
hoarding has been inaugurated which Offers
inducements to many ' Of our citizens
throughout the country, not to be found
elsewhere. It is proposed to take boarders
in this Home at the extremely low price of
$12 per month, with washing, ironing, and
tuition included, embracing all the studies
taught in the high schools of our copntry.
Music by an able teacher,with use of piano,
twenty-two lessons, $8, extra. , 1
Were‘ the advantages of this “Home”
known, I doubt not it would soon be crowd-
ed beyoud its capacity. It has boarders al-
ready from the far West, from the East, and
from the city: To the readers of the Advo-
cate in allpsrts of the country we would
say, in your search for good schools and
healthy locations for your children,.don’t
forget that one 'on the New York 6; New
Haven Railroad, ues r'Noroton depot, called
“Fitch’s Home.” M. N. OLMSTEAD.
[3" We find the above in the New York
Christian Advocate. .It should be understood
that the character of the institution has not
changed, but that it is to remain permanent-
..ly a “Home“ for the orphan and needy.

and an honest administration of Govern- i
ment, OIiI' felt to be a merescriimbls form'-
ficc, andIthat, too, to be monopolizcd by the
stronger wingof the union? If so, we.
think that it is not the entertainment tO
which Liberal Republicans were invited.
We left the Grant party because Of its cor-
ruptions and iinfnithfulness iO professions
and pledges. We did not purpose to change
one set of flies for another set ; we wanted
to be rid Of the whole blood-sucking swarm.
We supposed that when we withdrew from
the corrupt administration at Washington,
and entered into an alliance with the De-
mocracy, that we did it upon acommou
plane; that all opponents Of' the dominant
reign upon the level, and would actupon met
the square for the good of the common
weal. But what do we see ?—a universal
rush by the stronger wing of the union for
every place and position, from messenger
to United States Senator. We do not com-
plain that ..Messrs. .Eaton’s, Barnum’s,
Wheeler’s and Ingersoll’s especial friends
push their respectivs claims. lut why is it
that such" men as Lafayette Foster, one of
the ablcst Legislators of the State; Mr.
Wells, one of the strongest combatants on
the tariff that our venerated chief ever en-
countered; “Ike” Bromley, the brilitest
jewel in our crown, are never brought into
account? Are we to be only “hewcrs of
wood and drawers of waler,”-simply a
tail to fly the perforated‘ Democratic kite}?
If so’, is it not time to call ahalt? “One
man may lead a horse to water, nine men
cannot make him drink.” The union party
is strong in the State 10-day. but is‘not
strong enough to ignore the history of the
past twentyycars. If'it is to come into
power in the nation,Connccticut cannot
help the movement by selecting for stand-
ard'bearer iii the Senate of the United
States any man who adheres to the dead is-
sues of the past, and who holds no sympa-
thy with the living oues of io-day,—-at least,
such is the opinion of many
' LIBERAL REPUBLICANS.

The Tl-ibime says: “ Within the next few
days a large amount of money will be dis-
bursed in the shape of interest, dividends
and rents. The sum thus paid in New York
within the fortnight after the 1st or May is
variously estimated at from $30,000,000 to
$40,000,000. In the present universal pleth-
ora of money, a large part of this is sure tO
find its way into Wall St. for investment.
This is perhaps one of the causes of the re-
vival of speculative interest and of the up-
ward movcmcut in stocks began a few days '
