The closing scenes of the expiring Con-
gress were of the usual varied, interesting
and exciting character. - We have never
witnessed better decorum and less excesses
than during all of Wednesday night. Even
those of brilliant propensities, seemed to
have “ nourished” themselves less than usu-
al, and less, perhaps, than might reasonably
have‘b'een expected-under the circumstances.
'If the closing scenes of the Forty-third
Congress were entertaining in the Senate
they were doubly so in the House. The,
ovation from floor and galleries, to Speaker
Blaine, at the conclusion of his admirable
farewell address, was spontgneous, earnest
and entirely without precedent. The out-

The reorganization and convening of the
Senate in executive session, yesterday, was
aitcnded by an immense crowd of specta-
tors. It was accomplished after the sim-
plest forms, and exhibited the easy elasticity
and durability of our government. The
changes were unusually significant as to its
membership’ yet there was less excitement
than there would have been in changing a
district school committee. The departure

Concord Division S. of T., held its thirty-
rst anniversary exercises on Friday eve-
ing last. The routine business of the reg—
ular meeting'was speedily dispatched and
the meeting was then open under “Good
and'Welfare of the Order.” This brought
forward the special business of the evening,
the Anniversary exercises. Though an un-
favorhble evening, owing to the storm, the
attendance was large. -
From New Haven came G. R. Bill, G. W.
P., F. L. Grumman, G. 8., Wales French,
and Sylvanus Butler; Friendship Dlvision,
of New Canaan, was represented by a few
of its members; Pequot, of Southport, and
the new Division, at Silver Mine, were
each of them represented by about twenty
of their members. This new Division has a
membership of nearly forty ladies and gen:
tlemen. Mr. Turner of New York city was
also present. . '
The exercises commenced, and were in.
terspersed with music and songs by the la-
dies of the Division. Mr. George E ely, of
Sonthp‘ort, sang two or three song nd a
member of Concord gave a recitation. Short
speeches were made by Francis Aiken, G-
W..P., Bill, G. S., Grumman, Wales French
and Sylvanus Butler, and the W. P. of the
Silver Mine Division. The committee in
charge of the Anniversary were new to the
knowing that everything resulted in suc-
cess. They had prepared a table and filled
it full to overflowing with refreshments;
ter the reading of a letter from Mr. Edwin
Hoyt, of New Canaan, who was unavoida-
bly detained from the meeting, and-which
letter was well worthy of the applause
which its reading called forth, the commit-

Karma PUTNAM.—The Katie Putnam
Comedy Company is to appear at the Opera
Hohse ‘o-night in that capital play ‘of
“ Fanchon," of which the public will never
tire, and,to-morrow night in the popular
“Old Curiosity Shop.” This is Miss Put-
nam's first‘appearance in this vicinity, she
having confined herself heretqt‘ore to the
South and West, where she is said to have
gained a fine reputation as an actress of
merit during the past six yearsf A Trenton
paper speaks of her as follows ;-
last night, though slimly attended per rea-
son of the awful storm, was one of the best
that has visited Trenton fora long time.
Miss Putnam’s acting, as anvintellectual
endeavor, attained the highest measure of
success, and the audience paid an expres-
sivc tribute to the wonb of the representa-
tion by vociferous plaudits and recalls be-
fore the curtain. The unblemished Maggie
Mitchell's personatiou of this particular
character has won the udmiratibn of the
ublic, but it would not be awarding Miss
utnam any too great praise in considering
her representation equal in, every detail to
that of the first mentioned lady.

The dwellers in Raymond's Block, Main
street, were alarmed on Sunday, evening
week, by an unusual commotion and the
sound of breaking glass in the store beneath
occupied by Messrs. Demmon & Newcomh.
Cautiously opening their front window
they called for the Police and these ever
vigilant guardians of our Borough prop-
erty promptly responding to the summons,
were informed that burglars were at work
in the store. So taking positions they be-
gan to reconnoitre and spy out the premises,
not finding any appearance of anyone hav-
ing broken in, one of them leaving the other
to watch, went off after the clerk. Return-
ing with him the key was applied to the
front door, the door gently opened, when-
lo—out bounded a dog all bleeding and
covered with gore. Investigation show ’ .
that the dog had accidently got locked
when the painters who had been working
there until 12 o’clock left, and his presence
having been discovered by the store Tabby,
she resenting the intrusion‘ on what she
probably considered her own private do-
main, in the language of the t gamins,
“went for him" and the livesF time. they
were having up and down the store was
what had awakened the lodgers above. In
their melee they had broken glass and sash
out of a rear window, but that being guard-
ed on the outside from burglars by iron
bars, they were unable to get through and
out and so continued their fight in the store,
but fortunately did not break either of the
large front plate windows, although the
curtain to one was badly ripped and slashed.

The Tribune, of Saturday, is forced to say
that“ Pres. Grant is entitled to the thanks
of the people" for his action in regard to the
bounty bill. This bill would have required
the expenditure of hnknown millions of
dollars—some authorities put the amount as
high as $317,000,000, which the state of the
treasury could hardly stand in these times.
To politicians Pres. Grant may be’a fool,
but to the people there is “method in his
madness” and he is earning their thanks as
often as any President we have had.

Thomas entered the armv in 1823, and se-
cured rapid and frequent promotion, his
rank as Brigadier General having been at-
tained in 1861. He was Secretary of War
“ad interim" under President Johnson, and
in thislpfilcc became quite conspicuous for
a. time. Lieutenant Thomas, who was
killed in the Modoc war, was a son of the

The tell a queer story of the Domino.
tion 0 Judge Foster, to the efi‘ect that it
was designed to make a place on the b nch
for it defeated democratic candidate; ad
here comes another of the same sort from
New Haven. Another democratic politi-
cian is itching for a seat on the bench: “It
is true there is a faction of the New Haven
democracy which has triumphed in the de-
feat of Judge Bradley, and a still smaller
faction,or ring, that has helped to bring
about the nomination of Judge Phelps.
This smaller faction. or ring, is composed
on the friends and personal following of a
young lawyer who Is ambitions of a place
of the superior bench. He has already
enjoyed honors at the hands of the peo-
ple of New Haven. He has represented
them in the lower house of the general as-
sembly, and in part in the senate. He has
resided over the city court, where his
rather now sits. He has presided over
the court of common pleas, and did it re-
markably well. There is no reason, that
we are aware of. why he should not make
an excellent judge of the superior c urt,
and in time, it the legislature so do res,
rise to the supreme bench itself. It is, how-
ever, rather a novel proceeding, at least in
Connecticut, to mix up judgesb' s and
politics, and to nominate a judge or con?
gress so that he may make room on
the bench for an ambitious young lawyer.
And yet this is .precisely what has been
done, and there is no secret about it.
