Editorial Letter. ' WAsmNeTON, June 6th, 1874. There is continued dullness in legislation, Butler‘provoked a lively debate on Bark in the House the other day. . New York and western border farmers desire a tariff ' on Tanners’ bark. Butler, in the interest of eastern shoe and leather manufacturers fa- vors its free introduction from Canada and the Provinces. ‘_ The tariff men won tbs battle. The;Geueral further .distinguished himself by introducing a: bill permitting women to appear as . attorneys in all courts of the United States, if qualified. But the General’s field-day was in dismissing the measure laying a tax of five dollars on pass- ports, furnished our people going abroad. Years ago the price of a passport was $2, then during the war it was raised to $5, and afterwards passports were made free. But- ler wanted to, raise the price to $20 because it would fall on the rich, who are the only people who go abroad, and because it would tend to keep our people at .home. People he said, go abroad to spend their money and inipoverish the country, and buy all their clothes there, thus cheating the tailors and the weavers at home, of their chance of work, and robbing the government of reve- nue, while they get false and aristocratic notions into their heads, and 'all sorts of ex- , travagant and fooli‘sh'ideas. At'this Hol- man of Indiana tried to make a little party capital, plumped down upon Butler, with the accusatiOn thathe was the enemy of the poor naturalized man, who after having been in this country a few years and voted, wanted to return to the old country and dis- play the build seal Of the State Department to the astonished gaze of the potentates of Europe, as evidence of citizenship, and to protect them from the tyranny of European Monarchies, and Butler, he said, wanted all those poor men ‘to pay their $20, for the privilege. . Then Butler said ‘if a man was poor he could go without a passport,as four- fifths of them. did. The amount of it all was that 40,000 persons go abroad of whom 9,000 get‘passports, and the rest go without The price was fixed at $5, to take effect from and after July lst. The mo'st important cvent‘ofthp week has been the President’s cleaning out of the Treasury Department. On Thursday Gen. Bristow of Kentucky succeeded Judge Richardson, as Secretary. The resignations. of the Solicitor and of the Assistant Secrecary followed. An ungrate- ful country has made these public servants about as uncomfortable as possible. The greatest injustice has no doubt been done them in the popular clamor and denuncia~ tion hurled against them. But no one seems to have a doubt that Richardson was never fitted for the place, and everybody is appar- ently happy in his retirement. The new Secretary is an able lawyer, a clear, intelli- gent and strong man. He has opinions of his own and will not hesitate to express them. In resolute firmness and decision, he is said to be the reverse of his predecessor. The opinion was advanced in influential ~quarters that had our Marshall Jewell been at home, instead of being so delightfully situated at St. Pctersburg, the President’s choice woiild have very likely rested upon him. But it .is also . wellunderstood that the President had long since conceived a strong liking for Bristow and it will be re membered named him for the Attorney-Gen- eral’s successor, when Williams was nom- inated for the Chief J usticeship. At all events, we have an able and resolute man at the headof our 'national finances, and the change cannot be otherwise than beneficial to the business interests of the country. The auction sale of the undevised effects of Senator Sumner called together a large crowd of his admirers and trophy gather- ers. His furniture was of the most ordina- ry kinds, with few exceptions, but they brought prices, in many instances ten-fold their intrinsic value. The colored hotel- keeper, Warmly, a friend and admirer of Mr. Sumner, took the lead in bidding and so far outran his pale-faced competitors as to shame‘them into defiant bidding in many instances. He purchased the dead Senator’s entire dining-room outfit and it is said will ' fit up a “Sumner dining-ream” in his popu- lar hostlery. The Senator’s stock of rare old wines and'brandics, very naturally in- spired the most spirited bidding. These were ranged on tables extending the entire length of his. dining and sitting-rooms and brought from four to twenty~one dollars per ttle. Fred Douglas and Geo. T. Down- :fi, were as watchfully alert as 'Wormley, that none of the Senator’s cheering bever- ages should go off at any but the most ex- orbitant prices. Of ‘ course these liquors were mainly purchased for “mementoes” rather than for tipplc. It is estimated that the entire sale netted near twenty-thousand dollars, whereas the .intrinsic value of all the property sold would not exceed five thousand. ' Wormley’s bids more than quadrupled in extent and liberality, any other purchaser. ' A genuine sensation was caused this morning by the appearance of a letter from the Prehident to Senator Jones, defining the financial viewsof the Executive. By most it is viewed ass sort of veto of the supposed agreements of the Committee of Conference on the disagreements of the Houses on the Finance Bills. L There is little doubt but that it was drawn forth,at this juncture by a little artifice on the parrot certain leading contractionists'. The President’s opinions are tersely stated, and men of equal honesty and ability, take directly opposite views of the soundness of his position. In narrating the details of what he would do,he most certainly drifts into absolutely impractica- ble positions. There are out at this date, one hundred and eighty-eight millions of the Government’s promises to pay, below the denomination of ten dollars. To at once withdriiw this circulation with any hope of at once replacing so vast an amount with gold and silveris Eimply impossible._ 7t The repeal of the Legal Tender Act would at once thump everything downj’upon‘spe- cic hard-pan, and where is the nation and the banks to get the five hundred and more millions, required for the sudden transfor- mation. Some more practicable plan than the President’s must be devised, for that can’t be made to work without radical alter- ation. The indications now,arc more favorable for an adjournment on the 22d inst. The appropriation bills are well along and gen- eral legislation as far advanced age usual at this aemove from the proposed close of the session. ' _ That abOminable cheat, the“Civil Service Reform” is likely to come to the grief its hypocrisy has so justly earned for it, by cutting off the further appropriation of money to sustain its humbug anti pedantic examinations. , ‘ Ex-Gov. Minor is still here. A represen- tative of the Danbury News arrived at Wil- lard’s this morning. B. Gold is working down again. Saturday it was under 111. Won‘t the new Secretary distinguish himself by smashing the pre- mium and getting 'us_down to hard—pan again ‘2 We are tired of these damaging fluctuations and would gain in the long-run, if not immediately, by sacrificing all that would be necessary to put us one solid basis. . _——.——— At the 1st Baptist church on Sunday even- ing, a large audience was in attendance at the monthly Sunday school concert. The exercises were varied and of superior ex- cellence. The recitation 'On the Tabernacle by the school‘of‘ Dr. Fitch, and the address at‘thc close, by Mr. H. M. Prowitt, were es- pecially interesting. The school is growing, welearn, under the efficient superintendence of J. L. Ambler. The pastor of the church, Rev. E. D. Bentley. on the Sunday before preached a powerful sermon on Temper- ance, which was so well received that he has had numerous requests to have it pub- lished. He has, however, consented to re- peat it. in his church 'next Sunday evening, and we bespeak for him a large attendance, as the sermon is full of interesting facts. . # The Beatty street case was again up be- fore,the Borough Court of Burgesses on Friday night last, and after a full discussion of the matter it was decided to leave the line as at present. Property owners on the street submitted a proposition to grade the west end, cutting out two hundred and'fifty yards and using the material to fill in the southeast corner of the street, for the sum Of $175. As it would cost the Borough about this sum to do the filling in‘ with gravel, it was voted to accept the proposi- tion. The grading at the west end, mostly rock cutting, will thus be done without ex- pense to the Borough, and the street throughout its entire length will be greatly improved. # While the ladies are moving in the tem- perance cause, our gentlemen ought to start fanity. Who will be the first man to sign a pledge to give Up the vile habit? === There are several in and about Norwalk, who served in the naval forces under Porter and Farragut, and who are entitled to the prize money, soon to be distributed.

C. =2: FATAL AccmENT.-—Information was re- ceived here on Saturday last, of a fatal ac- cident to Mr..Alfred Lockwood, which oc- curred in London, England, on Friday last, June 5th. While riding out the horse took fright and ran, and he was thrown out, striking his head against the curb stone, re- ceiving injuries causing his death. Mr. Lockwood was formerly of this place, and a nephew of Edwin Lockwood, Esq. A large an 'enee convened at the 2d Methodist E. ,‘urch on Sunday evening last, to hear the views of the new pastor, Rev. Mr. J ones,-upon the old, but ‘ever ab- sorbing question of Temperance. We hear the sermon highly commended by men whose hearts are in the cause. ~ The Selectmen are about making needed repairs to the bridge over Norwalk river on the New Canaan road. The bridge will be partiallyre-planked, and some new timbers will be needed. The female sufiragists of Connecticut had a hearing before the legislative committee last Tuesday. The noted Misses Smith of Glastenbury, Mrs. Middlebrook of Bridge- port, Mrs. Huntington of Norwalk, and Su- san B. Anthony,'were among those in at- tendance. In giving her testimony Mrs. Huntington said, in substance (as reported by the Palladium) “that she had been ad- mitted by the selectmen of Norwalk,an elector in 1873. The registrar had stricken her name from the list and her vote had been refused. She desired that the right to vote be restored to her, as ‘once an elector, always an elector.’ She also wanted the registrars punished for striking her name from the list, and the box-tender who did not allow her vote to be deposited. She had brought suit against the registrar, who was defended by Senator Ferry, and that man told her that she had no more right to vote than his horse had. lf things had come to that pass, and women are thought no more of than horses, then the country was going down.” Another hearing was held on Thursday afternoon. Mr,Eaton is to resign without favoring us with that promised formal and labored speech upon National afi‘airs. For this much we are grateful to his timid managers. Let us have peace until he takghis seat. TEMPLE 0F Horton—The Grand Temple of Honor met at New Haven lastweek. The _attendance is represented. as having been good and the reports graifying.

Our amusement lovers will be delighted to know that Mr. Frank Mayo is to return next Saturday evening, and give us another personation of “Davy Crockett,” a charac- ter in which heis meeting with wonderful success. His late performance here gave 'unusual satisfaction, and he is sure to be greeted by a full house upon his return. He will be accompanied by Miss Rosa Rand and a carefully selected company. All who like “character” acting will be sure to at- tend. A tramp entered Theo. Harrison’s store Wednesday night, as the clerk was about closingup, and stole a $7.00 pair of shoes which be hid under his coat. The wide awake clerk, however, had an eye upon him, and securing the assistance of a lad named Wallace, managed to get the fellow into the hands of the police, and they are entitled to credit therefor. The thief was tried next day and sent up. MOD—k“ Now is the time for a rare, genuine Buf- falo hunt without going away 2,000 miles to the Plains. A buffalo, said to be a fine specimen, is reported to be roaming the woods and valleys between Norwalk and Danbury.

Miss Nettie Wood, daughter of Capt. Enoch Wood, formerly of this place, but ,ncw residing at Perth Amboy, New Jersey, is attracting attentiqt as a;vocalist. She took part ina recent local Concert, and the Perth Amboy Guardian compliments her as follows:—-“Herc Miss Wood had an oppor- tunity of demonstrating her vocal powers, which she did splendidly; the audience remaining perfectly quiet, and save the rich and melodious tones of Miss Nettic’s voice,- a breath scarcely escaped one of the vast assembly. But we cannot pass on without some mention in relation to Miss Wood. We look upon Miss Wood as being no less a vocalist—only in power of voice, experi- ence and age—than was the renowned Jen- ny Lind. We feel an inclination of pride, when we say that Perth Amboy is possessed of such a rare musical talent, in the person of such a young lady as Miss Nettie Wood, whose age is only about seventeen summers.

In New Hampshire and Vermont the rate is reduced to five per cent. and works satisfactorily. The rule directing sixty per cent. of the de- posits to be loaned on real estate he did not consider a hardship. The recommendation to include town, city and borough bonds with real estate he thought would be advan- tageous. He thought it would be an accom- modation to loan more than 10 per cent. on personal securities, as many are obliged to go to savings banks for such loans. Twenty per cent. would be sufficient. He thought it would be a good idea to have savings banks of discount also and desired that a charge of interest upon interest be allowed in the cases of delinquent debtors. The number of corporators he thought too small. There should be nine directors, three to go out every year, and a proviso should be inserted that not more than one-half of the number shall be directors in any other bank. —————.—d.

What a cnllfktffili’dii lady Sees in Vthe wedding cortege,'when he led Miss ever responsive to the calls of thirsty mor-. tective Reilly, to answer to the charge Of' .i. www.m- That wedding at the White House certainly wasfia real novelty, being the first one that had occurred there in a generation. Our Presidents have been singularly unfortunate in respect to daugh- ters, either having none, or having parted with them before they came to abide in the National ~Mansion,and thus has the Nation been cheated of a great felicity. It was a national afi‘air—ycs,ah inter- national afl‘air—nnd came very near being a centennial, also. How strange that old England should come In and share half the glory and carry off all the game! Aro‘ wc coming under British rule again? I desire to know. Time was when the pesky Brit- lshers couldn’t come tip the Pgtomnc and take prizes right under the guns of Fort Washington. They burned the White House once, to be sure, but didn't get away with anything valuable, as Sartoris has done, and not one of our young men ever attempted _tO_fly to arms. But this was because Miss N c‘llie so will- ed it, exercising her woman’s right, and it shows that times have changed, and we are no longer afraid of the British. The fidlng. itself was like others in high life, splendid in all the appointments, and honored by the presence of the rich and pawerflil. I—suppose I need not write any more about it,’ for none’of your lady readers will 'probabl'yie'ver be married there, and of course will have no occasion to copy the programme; and the splendor of the mar- riage is a ridiculously small factor in the happiness which follows or fails. The girls will ,please remember this; and that it is better to go up in the scale of happiness than to go down. 3 . Everybody, of course,, is afflicted with reflections in consequence of the wedding, and all the young men feel as Towlinson, the coachman'Of Mr. Dombey, when that gentleman selected a Frenchman to arrange Skewton to the altar, and are ready to de- clare that “no good ever came of foreigners —there was Bonaparte, the head of ’em, and see what he was allus up to.” The city_'reporters detail the following curious “culmination” following all this flood of wedding excitement: Last March a marriage license was pro- cured for Mr. George W. Rosevclt and Miss Ida Goldberg, both clerks in the Pension office, and the day, after the publication of the same, the lady in question appeared at the City Hall with an air of utter surprise, and desirous that any such license should be stricken from the books. This, she was informed, could not be done, but she was pérmitied to write across the face of the license: “The-clerk will cancel this license by my personal order," signed, “Ida Gold- berg.” It was thought strange at the time, as the gutting-a license did not necessitate marriage, and the sequel is that the cancel- lation :abovc mentioned has been erased within :1 few dayspast, and the parties mar- ried on _Monday, which fact was yesterday certifiul to in the record book by Rev. Mr. Harris, who performed- the ceremony. The groom is a well-known clerk in the Pension office, and the bride is a very esti- mable young lady. ' Old Rear-Admiral Shubrick, the eniOr officer of the U. S. Navy, died on fines- day, at the age of>84. He was what is call- ed ajgentleman of the old school, and 1‘ have noticed for some time that most of the gentlemen who reach that age are apt to be regarded as of that so And it is not a bad school id be in either. The Admiral was a good specimen of an old salt,hale, courageous, punctilious, with a good deal of roughness and politeness intermixed. He was many years at the head of the, Light Honsc Board, having succeeded Admiral Davis, who was not quite so much of a salt. There was a messenger in the office named Brown, said to be a brother of John Brown, of Ossawottamie, of'the new school, perhaps, and he and Shubrick didn’t hitch very well together, both being independent in their natures. Shubrick called Brown up one day and asked him a question about some small matter, and the latter replied, “I don’t know.” Then he asked him an- other, relating to the same matter, and Brown’s reply again was “I don’t know.” “Well,”_said the old sea dog, “what in the h—l do you know 1’" “Why,” said Brown, s‘l know Admiral Davis is a gentleman i” An Irishman right from Cork could not have met the emergency in better style; but Shubrick was not interested in the per- sonal accomplishments of his brother ofli- ,cer, and reported Brown to Mr. Chase as having insulted him. Mr. Chase was not a facetious man by any means, but he appre- ciated the ready w_it of the messenger, and instead of removing him for disrespect to his superior, transferred him to another Bu- reau. Shubrick was a gallant, trusty officer, and one who served well his country and added to the reputation of the Navy. The House Committee on Naval Affairs have modified their action of a few days since in regard to the pension of the widow of_Captain Hall so as to provide that in- stead of receiving a pension of $30 per month, she shall be paid $1,936, (the balance of pay due her husband from the govern- ment,) and authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to contract with her for the purchase of all Capt. Hall’s MSS. relating to Polar explorations, at a price not to exceed $15,- 000. , This sum would be much better than the pension which the committee at first proposed to give. Tim MSS., if purchased, are to be turned over to the Smithsonian Institution for publication. Speaking of lady clerks in the Depart- ment, a smart Washington letter-writer says: “All women about whom there is a breath of scandal should be made to walk, the plank, J’Eqn'ien in office should be like Ca’esar’s wife-above suspicion.” That is all very proper, but I should like to know how it should be with the noble‘Mr. Caesars who fill the Department to the exclusion of hundreds of soldiers’ wives and sisters and mothers with vastly more capacity, as well as character, to justify their holding these positions. “The woman gave me the apple to eat, else I never, never, would have touched it—it’s all her fault.” “Oh, Lord, how long i’” . Gen. Butler dropped another bomb into the House reports the other day . the in- troduction of a bill allowing any female citizen Of the United States, otherwise quail. fled, to practice as attorney and counselor in law in any court of the United States. Mr. Maynard asked if any distinction was to be made between married and single fe- males. Mr. Butler said the bill applied to any woman. , . Mr. Maynard asked what Was meant by “otherwise duly qualified.” , Mr. Butler instantly rejoined : “It means that she must know more law than the gen- tleman from Tennessee.” The General’s dead-shot repartee convuls- ed the House with laughter, but brought no peace of mind to the anti-gallant Ten- nesseean. The following scandalous item of news comes oves to us from Baltimore. Such a clergyman couldn’t persuade me half as near matrimony as Paul did Felix to be- come a christian: The Presbytery of Chesapeake met in E. C. Bakerville, of Laurel, charged with whipping his wife. The specification is, that one Sunday a short time since, the Rev. gentleman, who is the provider for his household, having forgotten 'to procure any- thing for breakfast except bread and butter, was surprised to find some eggs on the ta- ble, and being informed by his wife, in re- sponse to an inquiry, that she had borrow- ed them ifrom a neighbor, told her he 7’ Washington , . , ..WASIIING'l-iii..lk.;w .r'h,1874....

He was driving a horse 'witlia cart load of gravel down High Street, when something gave way, starting the horse. Mr.- Reagan jumped for the horse’s head to hold him but was thrown down with his head under the cart. One wheel passed over his leg just above the knee, breaking the bone. The horse kept On down the Street, and brought up against the sidewalk in front of Lockwood’s Hall, where horse, cart and gravel were thrown in a promiscuous heap. A gentleman who witnessed the accident, had just time enough to unhitch his valuable horse and to start it off on a run before the final crash oc- curred just where his horse had been stand- ingzthus preventing much damage.

It should only be attempted on a grand scale, and where there is an abun- dant extra money to be spent merely for effect. But the sort of dome tower shown in the new plan does not seem to us either ornamental in itself or in harmony with the noble building it is to surmount, but it will be a very expensive toy.
