Editorial Correspondence.
WASHINGTON March 12th, 1875.
DEAR GAZETTE : -The Pinchback and
Lousianna discussion has dragged its weary
length along, and until the vote just taken
to come to a direct vote on Tuesday next,
it seemed as If this extra session of the Sea-
iltc might stretch out until May or June.
The probabilities now are that this black
Lousiana ghost “will down” the coming
week and leave nothing but the Sandwich
Island Treaty to be acted upon. If the ac-
tion at present determined upon, is only ad-
hered to, there is no good reason why the
Senate may not adjourn by the last of next
week. :
The chief event of the week is the thor-
oughly exhaustive and unanswerable speech
of Judge Christiancy, the new Republi.
can Senator from Michigan, who succeeds
the Hon. Zach. Chandler. The Judge sub-
stantially covered the ground of argument,
and‘ adopted the line of reasoning, previous-
ly presented to the Senate by Senator Ferry
of our own State. The paper read by Judge
Christiancy, was more in the nature of a
calm and dispassionate judicial decision,
than a Senatorial speech, but its effect was
‘ all the more potent. No one is so insane as
to believe that the colored Senator can gain
the scat he claims, and why so much
prcéious time has been Squandered upon
him is another of those things “no fellow
can‘fiud out.” , ‘
Among the hasty acts of unconsidered
legislation, tumbled through the last hours
of the expiring Congress, is now found to
be a clear ' enactment doubling the postage
on all transient newspapers, books. and
printed matter. The intent was to double
the rates charged on what is called “pack-
age'matter” or “merchandize” which had
hitherto paid but eight cents per pound,
with-weight limited to four pounds. To
the chagrin of everybody, but the Express
companies, it is found-that in the attempt to
raise the mercantile packages to‘ 16 cents
per pound, the whole section of the old act
was doubled, which includes postage on
transient newspapers and printed matter.
A most determined effort was made by' the
Express companies to repeal the ‘entire
“packet” permitting clause. In this they
failed, as Postmaster Jewell insisted that it
was no hindrance to the transmission of
letters and papers, did not increase the De-
partment expenses one iota, and did in-
crease its revenues, and more than all else,
was of the greatest convenience and advan-
tagc" to outlying communities where no Ex-
press companies penetrated. There Was no
objection to raising the tariff from a half to
one cent per ounce on “this kind of postal
.‘ freight, and this only was contemplated.
At the last moment, Senator Ramsey long
the chairman of the Postal Committee,
moved to reduce the wezyhl limit of 'such
packages‘from four to two pounds. This
he did without the knowedge or approval
of his felow members on the Committee.
and in opposition to the Wish of the head of
thePost—ofilce Department. He had but a
few hours remaining of his Senatorial te
and this action occasioned the utmost as-
tonishment. We heard the Senator frankly
admit that he moved the amendment to
appease the importunities of the Express
companies, who felt that the Government
had taken from them a valuable share of
their business. This maneuvere signally
”failed, a dozen Senators assesting they
would raise the limit to five pounds rather
than diminish it an ounce. Senator Ramsey
as well as Senator Hamlin, ought to have
known that the increased rate designed
‘ to cover mercantile packages only, also
covered newspapers, and theyprobably‘did
know it, and, tbr reasons of their own, let
it go through without the knowledge of any
of their-fellow Senators. The conduct of
these two Senators is severely censured, as
it deserves to be if they are really guilty of
the trick imputed to them. '
Senator Ferry succeeded in having the
House appropriation of fifty thousand dol-
lars, for the purchase of Gatlin guns, (pass-
ed in accordance with the earnest recom-
mendations of the War Department) re-
stored after the Senate Committee had
stricken it out. These arms have been
adopted in Europe and are manufactured by
the Colt’s Fire Arms 00., at Hartford. '
Our Harbor gets seven; thousand'dollprs
this year, to continue the tickling of the
channel bed. Earlier and more persistent
supplication would have secured us more,
but the proper spirit is to be thankful‘for
the smallestfayors. , Southport breakwater
gets five thousand for its repair. '
A rumor is afloat, in circles usually well
informed, that Attorney General Williams
is about to succeed Poker Schenck at St.
James, and that the irrepressible Ben Butler
is to be called to the legal portfolio vacated
by Williams. It is well understood that
Minister Schenck would be glad'to return
from the London mission, because being
without fortune, his compensation does not
cover his unavoidable expenses.
In our last letter we referred to some sur-
prising political mutations, and to the rapid
manner the greatestfi average: American
statesman drifts astern and out of sight.
One Senator leaves the highest forum in the
nation to take a post office; another takes a
collectorship, and not less than a dozen
more, would, no doubt, eagerly accept simi-t
larly lowly positions if they could get them.
Nothing is more common, or apparently
natural, for ex-Senators and Vice-Presidents
too. than to continue their attendance
here as the_“Attorneys” of some railroad.
steamship, telegraph, or other corporation.
In England this sort of service is deemed
the most select and honorable of all ppfes-
sional practice. In this country it'goes under
the equivocal and somewhat opprobrious
epithet (if-“lobbying.” In these {capacities
the select dignity attached to’their names
and persons when Senators, rapidly vanishes ‘
and very seen their antecedent-honors are
lost sight of: iudheir newer and more pic-
turesque vocations. Honest and blufi “ old
Ben Wade’; is anotable example in point.
The Buckeye err-Senator and VicesPi-esi-
dent, and once possible cmdidatc for 'Presi
dent, doubtless appreciates this peculiar
phase of the American character as clearly
and keenly‘as any of his long line .of illus-
- trious predecessors, who act as “attorneys”
before Congl'éss.‘ It is a favorite rcmar ‘ 1
his that ifotWitllstanding his former pos _
in the Senate, he “can’t new command as-
much' consideration as a discharged con-
vict.” He was at ,the White House the
other day, lamentingthe ingratitude of Re-
publics, where he gotofi' his favorite per.

Vice-President. His running for Congress
on a Connecticut Democratic facet, probably
threw our newsmougcrs completely off the
track. But ill J udge Foster’s case it stri-
kingly verifies the truth enunciated under
cover of Rip VauWinkle’s pathetic question
are dead.”
There is one family that will never forget
our President, despite these tendencies of
political parties or partizans. The story
we give was furnished us. by one who
knows its'truth, and as it has never got into
print we narrate it as evincing the fact that
Gen. Grant has a heart, at all events. The
wife of p defaulting ofilcer called upon
Gen. Grant last December to implore the
release of her husband from the Albany
Penitentiary. She told the President that
crushing as the sorrow was to herself, she
would try to bear it, but that every morné
ing, without an exception, since her hus-
band’s incarceration, her four little children
had come to her bedside with the tearful
inquiry: “Will dear papa come home to-
day ?” “This plea of my children will, I:
know, ere lonfilrive’me into insanity. ‘
And now,” said she, “my little ones have
varied their agonizing questioning, with a
pathos that is maddening tool—J Won’t papa
come home Christmas .5” ” “Madame, I will
consult the Attorney-General and do what-
ever Icau for your husband with his ap-
proval.” ' “ I know that will all be useless,”
said the grief-stricken wife. “ His decision
will only be adverse, and I may as well go
home and tell my children at once that
their papa can‘t come home, and give up in
despair.” “ Wait a moment,” said the
President, and sitting down he hastily pen-
ned a note to Attorney-General Williams,
and‘ nervously handing it to her, said, “ go
and tell your children that their papa shall
come home Christmas 1” Almost fainting,
the woman was carried from the Executive
ofllce with the open notcjn her hand. On
examining it, it was found to be a peremp-
tory order for the immediate release of the
husband and father. But this was not all.
All over the page were great blots of the
President’s fast falling tears as he wrote.
on the night before Christmas .there was a
.house in Washington as joyous as it had
been desolate, and other eyes dropped great
tears as the recital was made of President
Grant's tenderness and mercy in restoring
their long absent papa to. the children of
Paymaster Hodges.

Tholild granite hills have again resound-

three thousand since last year, elected their

cratic Legislature to' so district the State

For Congress,
The Republican Congressional Conven-
tion of this District, did itself honor in the
nomination it made last week of DR.
ROBERT HUBBARD. Dr. H. “is so well
known throughout- the district and State
that little need be said of his personality.
Auihn of rare good sense, united with
unusual ,acquirements in his profession
long since made him a physician of very
extended practice and even wider reputa-
tion. Worn out with incessant work and
fired by a lofty patriotism, upon the break-
ing out of the war he enlisted as Surgeon
of IR 17th Ct. Vols. Hejsoon rose to Acting
Surgeon General of the 11th Corps. But
whether in camp or battle field, or Corps
Hospital, he was, ever the same capable
and tender and laborious physician and
surgeon, and hundreds of the mutilated and
maimcdboys in blue, whosurvived the
battles shock, now live to express their
gratitude for his care and to-ackuowledge
that under God,.they Were indebted to Dr.
Hubbard’s skill and tender care for their
lives. Hundreds more, could their mule
lips speak from beneath the sod, would
gladly testify to his untiring and almost
incessant efforts for the sick and wounded
soldiers of the Republic. We remember
well seeing him spring from his horse!
while on a march after battle and reset 9.
poor boy’s arm at the shoulder with his
pocket knife, because his implements were
away and mortifieatiou threatened the
poor fellow’s life. The prompt and
humane act saved the poor fellow.
For capacity, intelligence, industry and
purity of character, Dr. Hubbard has ‘no
superior, and his- election to Congress in
this district would reflect a lasting credit
and honor upon the 4th District. We shall
greatly mistake,if the Iron Man of Salisbury
does not vote for Dnfilubbard himself, so
well does he know him and so well assured
.musthe be that he could so much better
represent Connecticut in Congress.
The Campaign Opened.
A Hartford dispatch gives us one of the
new humors of our coming election. A
German named Ehrenberg, it seems, has
been collecting subscriptions from leading
democrats for the purpose of establishing a
German compmn paper, which should
“ carry the German vote solid for the demo-
cratic candidates.” The poor fellow is un-
der arrest as a swindler, has but little of
his money left, and of course the jig is up
about starting the German paper. The dis-
patch goes on to say that he has completely
fooled the foremost men in the party. The
Courier says among the list of his " subserib-i
era” are ex-Gov. English, Senator Eaton, all
the candidates for State ofliders, except Gov-
ernor; Mr. Ladders, the candidate for Con-
gress in the First district; Judge Phelps,
candidate in the Second District ; Mr. Bar-
num, candidate in the Fourth district; Hon-
Wm. D. Bishop and Nathaniel Wheeler, of
Bridgeport; Hon. Benjamin Stark, of New
London, .E. S. Cleveland, of Hampton,
Judge Hovey, of Norwich, Judge Bradley,
of New Haven, and others in various parts-
,of the State. The gentlemen who are vic-
tims of this raid, which shows by the list
collections amounting to over $3,000, are
greatly chagriued, and-are especially ner-
vous from a fear that their splendid project
to secure the German vote will have the ef-
fect, in its lamentable expose, to disgust the
whole class of voters whom it was intending
to deceive. ‘
But we should like to enquire why these
“subscriptions” should any more subject
these good men to ridicule, than the hun-
dred dollars said to have been subscribed by
J udge Foster towards defnaying the expense
of removing a certain democratic paper to
Norwich. Judge Foster was instantly
for the democracy to run for Congress as a
return for his liberality. . Now who knows
to what high and exalted political positions
the poor German Ehrenberg may yet nom-
inate his victims? Senator Eaton’s $100
ought to secure for him a suggestion for
vice-President at least. Gov. English, Lan-
dcrs, Barnum, Wheeler and Bishop’s con ri~
billions cannot fail short‘of their being sug-
gested for U. S. Senators. it would be in.-
gratitude the basest, were Ehrenberg to fail
to name our two Judges, now running on
the democratic ticket for congress, for places '
on the U. 8. Supreme Bench. Surely such
.muuificeut liberaiity cannot go entirely on-
requited. even if poor Ehrenberg be incar-
cerated in a loathsome jail.

SUNSET LAND.
DEAR GAZETTE :—
It seems slrang't’that a land
which a quarter of a century since was almost cept regular subscribers.
a “terra inc nita,” should become the most
The gateway to this land by sea is the Gold.
en Gate, and its chief city is San Francisco.
This city, if not built on as many hills as
old Rome was, is certainly built on larger,
and possibly they may some day in the dis-
tant future become as historic. It iscertain-
ly making history fast. It is a busy, hustling
spot, and more truly cosmopolitan, ljtbink,
than any other city on our continent. All
nations and tongues seem to be represented
here, and a stranger can hardly fail to find
guage. Here live someof the richest men
iii the world, and probably also some of the
poorest. Here are men who, in a few days,
if not in a single day, have stumbled upon
huge fortunes. The discovery of a rich lode
'enly sends up all mining stocks, the
er class‘ carrying up with them the
worthless. After a short time they are sure
to “ tumble down,” and then woe be to the
man who held on a little too long! Every
day, and all the day, California St. , the Wall
street of San Francisco, is crowded with
crazy men anxious to make afortunc, or, if
they have made it, anxious lest they lose it,
whilst the effect upon all legitimate business,
of a few individuals becoming rich in a day,
is very disastrous. Men become uneasy ahd
dissatisfied with the slow and only sure
way of making money, by economy and
hard work, and‘so, stake all they have at'a
single game of chance, determined to have
a million or nothing. And oflener than
otherwise, it is nothing.
Stores filled with the most costly articles
of ornament and luxury are found here, and
nowhere is money spent more freely, though
it may be spent more 'wisely. Some of the
spacious hotels are alsoylound here. The
“Palace-Hotel,” now being built, and soon
,to be completed, is, I believe, the largest
building of the kl? in the World. Some
idea may be formc' of its size from the fact
that it will require sixty thousand yards of
Body Brussels carpeting for its floors, exclu-
sive of the Aixminster for the parlors; and
if it was stretched out in a single breadth it
would reach a distance of more than thirty-
four miles. Sloane» & Co., of New York,
have contracted to furnish it. The locks of
the building weigh two tons, and cost twen-
ty thousand dollars.
The number of people here who have no
home, and whose stay is short, is very large,
taxing for their accommodation all the ho-
tels to their utmost capacity. And this will
doubtless be true for a long time to come.
The majority come here for a. brief stay,
not to remain; to make money and to
spend it elsewhere. But San Francisco
must grow, as it can never have a competi‘s
tor on t” Pacific Coast. In its harbor the
largest ships in the world, if not all the
ships in the world, can find safe anchorage.
The lhviathan steamships that run to China
and Japan, can have no other port. And it
is through the Golden Gate that the many
millions of bushels of wheat are to pass for
distribution among our hungry cousins of
the British Isles, and the needy nations of
years ago, flour was brought and sold at
famine and fabulous prices, bread is now
taken in almost untqld quantities to feed the
famishing ot other-lands. We ask, what
would the world have done without the al-
most ninc hundred millions of silver- and
gold that California. has furnished during
the‘last‘tweuty-fivc years? And still more
emphatically may we ask, what could we
do to day without California Wheat?
As to the Chinese question, that I should
Judge was settliugitself. And why should

clay pipg is welcomg, here and can work

lestcd, why should not John Chinaman with
his long one, and love of curry, and opium,
and quiet ways, enjoy the same privilege?
Why should he he commanded to stay at
home and not allowed to come here and
build railroads, raise vegetables, Wait at the
table, work in the kitchen, and wash dirty
linen ?

The matter of medical attendance upon
the Town poor, which all thought settled
at least for one year, is again receiving pub-
lic attention. At the town meeting in De-
cember the matter was brought up and the
Selectmen werehnstructed to make con-
tracts with one‘or more physicians. The
Selectmen, undoubtedly acting as they
deemed for the best interests of the town,
some one who does not speak his own lau-‘ advertised forfproposals. One only was re-
waved, so no contracts were awarded. It
as finally arranged that the poor should
call whatever physician they preferred, and
the town was to pay the bills. When the
first month's ‘bills came in they were found '
to amount to a pretty round sum. At the
close of the second month the bills were
found to amount to somewhere in the vi-
cinity of $800, or more than the contract
price for the entire year. The Selectmen
evidently anxious to keep within proper
bounds, felt called upon to take some decid
ed action in the matter. The result is that
the Medical Society of the town has passed
a vote to attend to all cases, for the balance
of the year, for nothing, and their oti‘er 'has
been accepted.
The society is composed of Drs. Samuel
Lynes, John A. and John W. McLean, Jas.
E. Barbofir, William A. Lockwood, M. B.
Pardee,:John Hill, REA. Higgins, James G
Gregory. Drs. Mosman and Hitchcock also
come into the agreement. We do not un-
derstand that all of the members were pres-
ent and ,voted, or that; they feel bound by
this action of the Society. The majority,
however, consent, and agree to attend all
cases, and that medical attendance, if con-
fined to themselves, for the balance of the
year shall cost the town nothing, even
though it prove a year of pestilence and ep-
idemic. By this action the town will come
out about square 'at the end of the
.year. What is to be‘ done after that will re-
main to be decided at the proper time:
This action of the Medical Society of
course gives offense to the friends of the
Doctors who are left out in the cold, and is
also the subject of general discussion." In
another column we have allowed a corres-
pondent to express his views upon the situ-
ation, and we wish it understoo hat the
other side shall have the same privilege.
The policy of employing a town physician-
should be fully and fairly discussed. It is
understood by'every voter.

the ball of the season was given in Military

and is hoped was a pecuniary success for
the Truck boys. '

among us who are as changeable, politically,
exciting the Wonder at least of the com-

in their views and acts, willing to take of-
fice from any source, are now, since the
conventions have lne’nd made nomina-

LETTE‘: 3‘ FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Tr am Poor and the Medical So-
clely. .
Masons. EDITORS:-Tllc position which
the “Norwalk Medical Society,” as they
title themselves,,havc taken in this matter
of medical attendance upon the town poor,
can be compared to nothing else than that
of a school boy wading over the top of his
boots in a mud-puddle. No sober-minded
person for a moment supposes ’that these
gentlemen have. been so struck with a spirit
of benevolence as to be willing to do 1191‘-
haps a thousand dollars’ worth of hard
work for the town without expecting some
day to reap a reward from it. The afi‘air
shows nothing but personal spite and spec-
ulation on the face of it; and the right or
the Selectmen (even though they acted im-
— partially in the matter) in accepting such a
proposition as this, letting alone its legality,
is very seriously to be questioned.
It is naturally to be questioned, also,
what kind of attention the poor are to get
under such an arrangement. These doctors
are not going to get up nights on udge
around in all sorts of weather, an do all
sorts of unpleasant duties with any sort of
grace, with the on core biting them at the
heart that they are doing it all for nothing.
The vain glory of the thing may keep them,
up for awhile, and then they will begin to
wilt like a structure of frost in the sunshine.
3h wi ”'s'oon imagine. that he is doing
e than his share of the labor,-—that this
one and that one are“ playing it s p” and
squirming out of their part of e pro-
gramme, and when a poor person comes
along for assistance, he will be toted ofi‘ for
this doctor and for that one,—-run from one
end of Norwalk to the other, and then per-
haps gohome without one, and wairuntil
the quarrel is settled among them as to who
shall attend the patient. Tax payers, we
are confident, will not countenance any
such nonsense, and that the matter will
simmer down_ into this sooner or later, is
beyond all doubt, for who ever heard of a
doctor living within rifle shot'of another
‘but that they were continually at logger-
heads at something. , ,
Because a ulna is poor is no reason he
should be imposed. upon in this way. The
town of Norwalk is suppqsed to be willing
to payareosonable sum'for his medical
care, when prostrated upon a bed of sick-
ness, and wants it bestowed faithfully and
conscientiously, and not because it must be
done, as under the present circumstances,
as a matter of cunning policy. ’
The office of “Physician to the Poor,”
with a legitimate and proper salary attached,
should be established by a vote of the town,
and then at the regular annual- racet-
‘ings such a regular and responsible physi-
cian appointed as shall be elected by a vote
of the people—the p'oor themselves, if this
qe more suitable or necessary. The physi-
cian should consider it his duty to watch
over the poor in time of sickness and be-
stow the little (or big) attentions that are
necessary with such a spirit of kindness
and interest in their welfare as would cheer
them up and tend to lessen their burdens of
life, which. among this class of people, are
,‘by no means inconsiderable. He should
also look after the interests of the town, and
see that on the one hand the deserving poor
were properly provided for, and on the
other that-the town was not imposed upon
by imposters. He should have the power
of calling aid to his assistance when neces.
sa‘ry, providing liule articles of comfort, as
in his judgment were for the good of those
under his care, and, if he failed to transact
the business properly, keep him out of of-
fice another year. This would simplify the
matter in no.time,hd certainly no one
could in the least object .to it. If the
_“ Medical Society” did not wish to accept
such a position for money, they might leave
,it alone as savagely as they had a mind to.
Medical societies must frame different laws
respecting their attentions to the indigent
poor and similar i ' ces under salary.
.The public demand tit shall be done‘,
and it is through the public that medical
societies get their bread and butter.

‘fProgress” in the Gazette of the 9th inst.
says :—"The name Silver Mine is said to
have originated from the finding of such
ore in that locality in the past century.
“If “Progress," (after the snow is gout
’will call upon Capt. Stephen Hoyt of New
‘E‘Manaanmc can probably show him “the
Jocnlity of this Silver Mine of the past
century” also the spot on which the “old
DSilver Mine barn" was built for the use of
the miners, some % of a mile southeasterly
from his pleasant residence, on land then
belonging toflhis grandiather John Carter.
A local history of that mining affair
wornlld' undoubtedly bciuteresting to your
readers, and probably'ncw to a. large por-
tionof the inhabitants of Silver Mine Dis-
trict. .
Sixty years ago 1 often heard the Carter
family talk about the “Old Barn” as then a
thing of the past.“

may find a mind of information worth your
attention in .that looality. C. A. H.

Miss Potter had her usual experience in

The committee appomted by the Superior
Court to reassess the benefitshnd damages

down the assessment of the Norwalk Hotel
property from $500 to $300. Thee latter
sum would undoubtedly have been paid in
-the.first plgec by the proprietors, without
legal prolie'eliings. As the assessment was
reduced, the costs of the aprfiigatiorbwill
fall upon the Borough. The committee ere

Real Estate had a decidedly downward
tendency last week—under the hammer of
the insatiate tax collector. Mr. Camp sold
astrip of land from the rear of the Earle
place, West Avenue, to Dr. Barbour who
owns the adjacent lot. More of the prop-
perty is advertised for Sale to-day. Elmen-
worth, beautiful Elmenworth, was sold to
satisfy the claim of collector Raymond. The
palace, lodge, carriage house,—in fact every
thing above the ponds at the lower end, was
knocked down to Mr. Lewis Raymond, of
Wilton, for t_he.sum of $892.73. It is natu-
