DEAR GAZETTE :-

' ' . The week has been main-

ly consumed in the Piuchback and Louisi-

ana questipns.‘ After a‘n exhaustive strug-
gle,'Seuutor_West seeing the certain rejec-
r.f'foii'.of Piuehback one direct vote, moved
the postponement of his‘caSc till next De—

cember. Thus'tffidtffl the‘Pih‘chback farce.

Next cameithé‘reco'gn'ition by the Senate of

the Kelloggsgovernment and endorsement
of the President‘s-action in sustaining it.
This gave rise ‘to many caucus, sessions on
the part ofwthe Republican Senators over

various prqpbsiliousto that end. 'The fol-
sive propositions sub-

lowiug aretth'e's '
mitted to these caucusses :—

First, Mr. Morton submittedthe following

resolution :, ,
Implosion; the

to thereiudjhattbejlaws may be faithfully
and promptly: executed, life and property

rolected and defended, and all violators of
aw, State torwNational, brought to speedy

punishment for their-crimes.

Then Mr. Frolingbnysen submitted~ the

following resolution : '-

Reseloed, Th‘éit the Senate approve the ac-
tion hebefdfore taken‘by the President of the
United States in. protecting Louisiana from
dqmestic ‘violeuce, and are of opinion that
het’fihbul'd - continue to recognize in that

State theexistin'g State government.

Last, Mr. Anthony submitted the follow-

.
fr-{x .
raga“,

Srike out

which W. P. Kello

United States in that State, is approved.

Mr. Anthony’s proposition was adopted by
the lptesi’ caucus, and as I write, the Senate

is in evening’session discussing the same.

In the Senate to-day, a letter was. read
from the Vice President, requesting that the

Sophie be informed that'hc would be abscn

It was stated at; the Capitol 10-day by the
friends ofgex-Sen'atorZChancller that he had
been tendered, aifl would" probably accept,
the mission to ”Russia. Mr. George H.
Boker, recently appointed, it is said, is
about to declincthe ofiicc. ,
S'enator'JOhnson, of Tennessee, will prob-
ably be heard from now that the Louisiana
question has beeh'reopeued in the Senate.
He intended to speak on the Pinchback
resolution but changed his mind. This
afternoon, however, be was busily engaged
in looking up the facts in the case, his desk

‘emg covered with‘bcoks and papers.

Numerous letters have been received he‘
making inquiry as to whether the abolition

of the civil service rules also nullified the

executive order issued a year or more ago

forbidding any federal ofiiceholders :from

accepting any state, municipal .or 'other

office. ’ The question being submitted to the

President for decision bya member of the

Cabinet, he has decided that the order

abolishing the. civil service rules in the,
several departments in no way affected the

executive order prohibiting the holding of

two offices. The President further said it

never was his intention to forbid any

federal officer accepting any minor state or

municipal ofllcc, such as registrar, supervi-

sor or commissioner of elections, but that

the order only applied to higher ofilces, such

as membership of the legislature or a coun-

try ofiicc of trust and profit.

In discussing the political standing of
certain Senatdrs the Washington Critic
says :—-Senator Ferry belongs to the quiet,
conservative, patriotic, and safe class of
thinkers whom the Americaupeople always
trust,and Judge Christiancy is fresh from
an eighteen years’ occupation of the beach,
where he has been fed by the best talent
the State, and his own industry with the
principles of constitutional law. Why may
- not these gentlemenbe better acnepted as
the true cxpounders of Republican princi-
ples than Mr. Morton ? We imagin at
Senators Edmunds, Ferry, Carpenter and
Cbristiancy,with such other Republicans as
have sustained their views, will not suffer in
the esteem of their constituents for having
conscientiously performed their‘duty upon
this question.

Senator and Mrs. Ferry left for N orwulk
' yesterday morning. Rev. Wm. C. Hoyt and
Isaac Wardwell, Esq.,of Stamford, 1ch here
this morning for home. They are on their
return excursion trip from Florida and re-
port orangcs,alligators and the Hon. David
Clark, [who has just had a steamer named
after him,] as above par. Our clerical
'friend speaks with enthusiasm over the sue-
cess of Tom Scott’s great Floridian excur-
sion enterprise. He says thousands from
the North have visited that region this
winter in consequence of the $50 excursion
tickets from New York to the salvation 'of
the Southern railroads and hotels and the
very great financial relief of the entire line
ofSouthern travel. He suggests that our
N. Y.& N. H. R. R. should profit by this
successful experiment and arrange excur-
sions next summer to Mount Desert, Bangor,
and the Provinces. His thought is wqthy
of adoption. .
"Quite a contest has occurred over the
President’s removal of chief examiner Clark
of the Patent Office, and the promotion of
examiner- Nolan formerly a professor in
Yale College to his place. Nolan. was
confirmed as Clark’s successor, but by some
hocus pocus a reconsideration was carried
and the nice question now is whether there
is a vacancy or whether Clark hOlds his
place despite the President's removal. It is
said all our patentees would rejoice at the
supplauting of Clark by Nolan,—thatClark’s
t chief stock in trade is that be is brother or
step-brother to Grace Greenwood. and with
the capitol heavily impaired and that his
chief merit lies in an active attendance upon
- other people! business to the neglect of his
own. Such are the stories set afloat about
apoor fellow when he gets into the senato-
Oue who can't
stand being turned inside out, better avoid
executive appointments. . .-

O. T. Earle and Orville Grant, [the Presi-
dent’s younger brother,] have been here in
company. consummating some profound
measures of State and securing letters

The attention of the Attorney General is
to be called to the law taxing two ce on

The Senate continued its session up to
nearly midnight, before an adjournment to
Monday coultf be carried. Senator Eaton

be a jam at the Capital to hear what the ex-
President shall have to say. Mr. Eaton was
quite severe upon the administration and its
supporters. He vigorously defended the
sovereignity of the States and their reserved

eign, except in the powers which they had
delegated to- the General Goverument, and
he held that Anthony’s resolution was infa-
mous in assuming tojustify the interference
of the Federal power in the internal affairs
of a State. ‘ No not of the President in re-
gard to Louisispa had been contilntional.

Col. Fabeps,who figured so conspicuously

and a zealous intriguer for the annexation
of Santo Domingo to the United States.

Our friends of the Bridgeport Farmer,
begin to quake as with an agne, over the
personal popularity of our congressional
nominee'Dr. Hubbard. Being the family
physician of the “Iron man of Salisbury,”
the Fdnnar'seems to concede that its candi-
date will get the severest physicing he has
ever yet experienced. At last the Repub-
licans havea ch, to elect their con-
gressman in this strict and as the Farmer
justly apprehends—they mean to do it.
A

Raos. REYNOLDS is announced to return
to Norwalk on Friday next, and to give a
series of his peculiar entertainments at
Lockwood’s Hall. He has created much in-'
terest here on the subject of Mesmer's 11.: 1nd
many people will dcsrre to attend in order
to further investigate its~mvsteries. The
entertainments are also highly amusing and
the risibles of his audiences are kept in con-
stant operation. A good laugh is better.
than a dose of medicine. Go and amuse
yourselves. ’

 

Dr. Uhle, we understand, has also an-
nounced his willingness to attend the Town
poor for the balance of the year, free of
charge. - It is gratifying to know that the
town poor will not suffer for want of skilinl
mcdical attendance during the year'1875.

Railroad Accident.

An axel of the tender attached to Engine
on train from Bethel to Hawleyville broke
on Monday morning and detained the train
some hours. No other damage.

 

Assaults.

Two cases of assault came up before J us-
tice Selleck on Saturday last. The first case
the parties themselves desired to have set-
tled, and they joined together to pay both
fine and costs. .

The last case was an assault by an indigi
nant merchant upon Mr. Nat Requa for‘he
repeated publication of articles deemed
personal and offensive. It seems that he
had warned Mr. Requa to cease such pub-

but instead of doing so his paper of Satur-
day contained another article of similar
character and during the merchant to carry
his threats into execution. The merchant,
after reading the article, waited awhile for
his passion to abate, and then sought Requa,
asked if he wrote the article, and struck

- him twice. Mr. Lockwood, proprietor of

the store in which Mr. Requa is employed.
jumped up to ' terfere, when the irate
merchant apolo zed to him for having
committed such action in his store. While
attempting an explanation, Mr. Requa' ac-
c'used him of lying, when another blow
“quick and hard" followed. The merchant
then left and proceeded to Justice Selleck’s
office and waited for an officer to arrest
him. In the meantime Mr. Requa consulted
with a lawyer, secured a writ, found Con-
s‘tab - aymond, and the arrest was quietly
ma . Justice’Selleck bound the defendant
over in the sum of $25. The case comes up
to-night. "

McGeachy, of the Danbura‘an, is rapidly
experiencing the difi‘erent phases of edito-
rial life. A few weeks since having occa-
sion to denounce fast driving on the pub-
lic streets, an irate jehue immediately put
in an appearance at the office and demand-
ed the paymentpfa $50 loan; in defaultof
the instant payment of the same he propos-
ed to horsewhip the editor, but McGeachy,
happily being out the whipping was deferred
and an officer sent in with orders to attach
$50 worth of type. Hard fare that for ye
hard working editor to endure. .

The Selectmen and ToWn Clerk held
their first session for the admission of vot-
ers at the Town Clerk's office yesterday.
Businesslwas quite light,—-o_nly twenty-
eight persons admitted: They will be in
session today at South Norwalk, and on
Saturday at the Town Clerk’s office for the
last time before election day.‘ Persons reg-
istered to be made, must attend one of. these
sessions or lose their vole.

 

There has been much speculation as to the
object our friend “ Uncle Lewis Raymond"
had in view, in the purchase of the Lock-
wood castle. Well, Lewis is a man who
keeps his own counsels. It matters not
whether it is a “ second mortgage.” he is ac-
gotiating-to purchase, or a barrel of cider
he is transferring to the editor’s cellar to
pay for his Gaznrrnr—and out of which he
pledges shall come gallons of the purest cf-
der oinégar,—it’s all the same—no human
being shares the confidence of his schemes.
At least they haven’t to any considerable ex.
tent—unless very recently. But “folks will
talk,” and when Uncle Lewis brushes'up

«him in extinguishing a fire on the British

Only a Girl. .

Seventy-five cars a o a pan er irl -was
throw'n adrift oi. the gorld inpong of the
counties of the Upper Hudson, in the State
of New York, and over two hundred crimi
nals in our prisons and penit'entiaries have
descended from this wretched wait, preying
on society in every possible way. As an
illustrut on of this fearful recrrd. in one
single generation of this unhappy line, there
were twenty children;of these, three died
in infancy, and seventeen su'f'vived - to
maturilymf the seventeen nine served in
the State prisons for high crimes,-au aggre-
gate term of fifty years, while the others
were frequently inmates of jails, and peni-
tentiaries, and almshousesl

Statistics show that illiterate persons pro-
duce thirty times as many paupcm, and ten
times as many criminals, as the educated
classes. Every child'snfi'ered to grow up in
ignorance and vice' beco'nies it rained
enemy ofsociety, to recruit the d erons
classes which make war on propertyfiand
treat life as a plaything when it crosses the
track of their greed or lust.

The peril of modern society is at its bot-
tom. not at its top. ‘

f Society can protect itself against its worst
foes only by enforcing education on all
children alike.

The vice and ignorance of the lower
classes are constantly reveuging themselves
for the selfish neglect of the wealthy and‘
intelligent in arson, murder, and theft.

If the above be true, how much cheaper
it would be for all the towns in this SenatOs
rial'District to withdrawthe poor children
from'th'cir-Alms Houses and «put them‘at
Fitch's Orphan’s Home. Our good people
should consider the lessons involved in the
above. " '

We are glad to learn that some of our
people have taken the, matter in hand and
that a petition to the Selectmen, is in chen-
lation, and being largely signed by our best
class of ° 'zens, asking them to calla town
.meetiugand have the subject acted upon of
transferring the children from our Aims
House to Fitch’s Home. . Wehope it will
prevail. ’ -

A “yaller” dog has covered himself with
glory as a traveler or pilgrim or quadrupe-
destrian. He was taken last Fall from
Indiana to Kansas. But he didn’t
like Kansas, and was homesick through
and through. He found meat scarce
and was averse to a diet of grasshop-
pers. So he trumped it over miles and
miles of desolate prairies; he swam the
Kansas and Missouri Rivers; and one day,
footsore, weary, and lean, he barked at the
old door. He was six weeks upon the
journey; and the first thing he did upon
getting home was to eat his dinner calmly,
the next to drive the pigs out of the yard
according to his ancient custom. He learn-
ed something, but be had forgotten nothing.
If ever dog deserved silver collar and un-
limited boaes for life, he is the animal.

This is a pretty hetty“yaller dorg” story
from the Tribune, but the animal’s sagacity
is not one whit ' .. cess of that of the
“black and tan‘ rpwhich came myster-
iously to the genral'fire-side of our friend
Trowbridge of Canoe Hill, New Canaan.
This “dog," it will be remembered'could
never be traced to any origin. It dropped
down,,seemiogly in the night; and next
morning acted well acquainted and as
much at home as if he had been reared in
the tan yard. A short time later he rode
over to the depot inVa wagon sent’ to meet
his master. The master came, greeted his
waggish friend and the team was started
for home. A few rods from the depot the
dog was seen to jump out. to the ground.
Nothing was thought of it, but on arriving
home he was found not to have followed
the team as expected he would. Early
next morning Mr. Trowbridge missed his
large wallet in which he had broughtacon-
siderable sum of money from New York.
Thinking he‘might have dropped it at'the
cars he started thither, and just before
reaching‘the depot, saw his dog lying lathe
middle of the roadway. On coming tohim
the animal rose and revealed, the pocket
book! The ni ht had been rainy, yet the
book was d d warm, and the money all
there, showing the sagacity, and fidelity of
the little brute of mysterious origin. He
had seen the pocket-book fall out, jumped
out and barked to attract‘ attention of its
owner, and failing, lay down upon it and
hovered. his' treat all through . the rainy
night, _ ..

V e seems to be a' general lack" ,
knowledge in reference to the relational?
tho'Town, the Town’s poor, and tbé’Physi-
clans;...esd.sosseqsemly an inability tom:
terpret justly'the action of the Medical So-
ciety and _ths Selectmen.
Known-that for some time previous to 1875,
bids w’ere‘received from the physicians and
the contract to treat the Town’s poor given
to the lowest bidder. In 1874 the town dis-
charged its obligatibns to its poor for about
700. At the beginning of 1875 the Select-
men consulted the doctors, and afler due
consideration determined 'to allow the poor,
as other people, to select their own physi-'
clam—the bills being charged to the limo.
This system has been adopted satisfactorily
and-successfully in other places. No one
doubts but that the billsmay be made enor-
mous if they are framed with that intent,
as, for instance, if a physician should call
at the Poorbonse and see a dozen patients.
making charges to all,‘ and full arges to‘
all upon different fioors, something, we are
glad to say, very rarely done in private
practice. Certainly no such pay isreceived
under, the contract system. , Since then
such imposition upon the town is possible,
and since this system, with that understand-
ing'aflbjectiou wastrecommended by the
phys H . good faith on their part has
been violated. Most have sent in smal bills
or none, and yet. we have positive knowl-
edge that they might have increased ma-
terially the expense to the town if they had
been so minded. It is not for a moment to
be supposed that there is a physician in
town who has done nothing for the poor.
But let us suppose that one physician did
all that kind of work, he could not consist-
eutly, in face of the understanding, charge
the town at the file of $2,700 a year, when
willing to do the work by contract for
$700; and much less would this.be right
when doing only a part of the work. 7h:-
paym will grant that there was need of
action on the partof the Selectmen. when
such action consisted in protecting the town
against the physicians. Tau Gazu'm'n of
last week, in “a letter from the people,”
brings out a remarka fact,namely, that
“ Tax-payers will u countenance free
medical treatment of the poor ;” and judg-
ing from the bills sent into the town durin
January and February, that was the view"
of at least one’medical gentleman. The
bills for these two months consequently
were more than for the whole your previous.
Tax-payers then need not feel imposed up-
on because the poor are to betreate‘d for
nothing during the balance of 1875. If
they cannot confine their generosity within
these 1imits,,,‘they can easily find worthy
poornpou whom to bestow their goods. It
was said,'moreover, in the last week’s
Gaunt; that no'sober-miaded person sup-
poses forVau instant a willingness to do a
thousand dollars' worth of hard work with-
out expecting some day to receive a re-
ward. This is all true, and the physicians
expect to get their reward. It is a Well-
kuown fact that in civil law and in every
man’s conscience'the right of reputation is
as iuviolable as the right of property. The
good faith of the physicians towards the
to , as has been shown, has been violated
—oousequent l y their reputation has snfi‘ered
and its preservation is the principal reward
they seek. As the bills stand they can ask
nothing for the year, and leave the town as
the town had a right to expect. In addi—
tion’to this motive, the desire to protect the
system which allowed the poor to select
their own physician has had its influence.
Now certainly, as far as the reward is 'con-
corned, all are equal. This principal,
which certain have attempted to over-
throw, is 'worthy of consideration, and we
would suggest that in the future a certain
sum be appropriated for this purpose and
divided among all the physicians in pro-
portion to "the work done by each. This
would insure justice to the Town, justice to
the Town’s poor, and justice to the physi-
cians. A Woman Tax-Paras.

The full vote of New Hampshire in the
late election; is now ascertained to have been
79,202, of which Cheney, the republican can-
didate for governor, received 39,285, and
Roberts democrat, 89,163 the prohibition
and scattering vote aggregating 754. The
aggregate vote for governor in 1874 was 71,-
875, or 7,327 lcs than in 1875. The aggre-
gate Cong’ressional vote in 1874 was 66,309,
against 78,902 in 1875, a gain in favor of the
the latter year of 12,593. The Congression-
al vote this year fell but 800 behind the vote
for governor. The democrats gain this year
3,565 votes and the republicans 8,147, while
the prohibition.and.'scattering vote is 1,885
legs than in 1874. The increase in the total
vote over those for previous years is as fol-
lows :—-Over 1878,11395; Over 1872, 2,848;
Over 1871, 9,478. The result in the Senato-

remains as previously reported, the republi-
cans having a small majority in the legisla-
ture, and the. democrats three .out of five

members of the governor’s council.
