Pretty Well Settled.
Our Roman Catholic citizens held their
town meeting, as was their right and privi-
loge, on Saturday last. The meeting was
very large and the result just what any dis-
passionate person might have apprehended,
where a sectarian issue was thus forced up-
on the people of a town so overwhelmingly
Protestant. The fallacy of the proposition
of dividing up the pauper children accord-
ing ,to the various creeds in which their
parents were supposed to have been reared
or associated, was too transparent to mis-
lead anyone, The simple proposition was
to take these young and helpless children
from a place where their morals and self-
respect were sure to be destroyed and place
them at Fitch‘s Home, where only the ex-
istence of a God and the fundamental truths
of religion are taught and no proselytiug
ever attempted, and by kindness, care, and
culture to rear them to become useful and
self-respecting citizens. There wafino more
just cause for our Roman Catholic friends
taking umbrage at this course than the
Methodists, Episcopalians, or Baptists. It
would seem that no one had any just _rca~
son to complain of a change so benefi-
cial to the ’temporal and eternal welfare of
these hapless little ones, unless it be indeed
true, as was stated by Selectman Selleck at
the meeting to be his belief, that every one
of the cildren at the Alms House, over three
years old. were from Catholic families,
save one little colored boy. If Mr. Sel-
leck’s statement be true, it assuredly
shows that those interested in attempts to
change a vote so overwhelmingly passel by
the best people of Norwalk, have a duty to
perform towards some who are outside
of the Alms house. Most of these poor
waifs are there directly and absolutely in
consequence of the free sale and use of rum,
but it is not fair and neither is it reasonable
to charge the Roman Catholics with an en-
tire monopoly of indulgence in that de-
basiug and soul-destroying vice.
This question should be fairly and square-
ly met. We think our friends have made a
grievous error in starting a sectarian issue‘
for strong as they are they cannot win.
There is no desire or wish on the part of
anyone to make a Catholic child a Protes-
tant. The only desire is one of simple hu-
manity towards the helplessnessof child-
hood. Our friends cannot have mistaken
the predominant sentiment, and if they can
stand it to have their children remain pois-
oned by the demoralizing surroundings of
the public poor-house, and can’t stand it to
have them clothed, fed, educated and cared
for like human beings at Fitch’s Home,thcn
they must adopt some means for their with-
drawal from the public charge for their
support.
The meeting on Saturday was a credit to
the intelligence and humanity of Norwalk.
Our worthy P. M. presided with a dignity,
and with an ability and decision as supris-
‘ ing as gratifying to those who had never
witnessed him ina similarly trying posi-
tion. Few men even of largest legislative
experience could have held such a meeting
so well in hand. We sincerely trust for the
credit of our town, and the best interests of
all classes in our community, that this
question may' now be’ permitted to rest
where so overwhelming a vote of the prop-
erty and character of the community has
placed it, and that these poor children may
beat once sent from their' present containi-
nating influences.
The answer of the Parallel Railroad com.
pany to the suit brought against them by
Stanton & Balch, contractors, of New York,
which has been filed, admits the allegation
that they are aregularly organized company,
but gives a general denial to all the other
allegations. ~
The democracy are disconsolate. A com-
promise has been eflected in Louisiana, and
there is a fair prospect that peace will be
restored to that long distracted common-
wealth, unless they can manage to stir up
some fresh trouble. They have flourished
upon the sufferings of the people of that
unhappy state, and now they will have to
look elsewhere for their political-effect
thunder.
Now that the New York, New Haven 83
Hartford Railroad has no need of legisla-
tive action, the Company will undoubtedly
be much gratified to be relieved of the bur-
den of carrying dead-head legislators to and
from Hartford daily. As they established
the practice it would have been difficult for
them to get rid of it, but Goodwin, of.East
Hartford, as full of “ zeal” as Midshipman
Easy, comes to the rescue and has succeed-
ed in getting the Superior Court to enjoin
them from issuing free passes to members
of the legislature. The case is not to be
tried until July, so this spring the company
will quietly scoop in money from legisla-
tive commuters to use for “ incidental ex-
penses” in fighting Goodwin.
It cost the city of New Haven over $10,.
000 for printing at the Reent election, and
other cities in the State as much in propor-
tion, and all owing to that “New Revision”
of the State laws. The cost to every town
for registration of voters is large, and as
the democratic officials construe their own
tinkering of the law, the whole thing is a
farce. Our people will get tired of such
“reform” alter a time.

much to Goodwin’s credit. '

Businoss Reviving. ‘
We have nqt witnesaed so’ unmistakable
evidences of a revival of business as about
our town on Saturday last. During the day
and especially Saturday evening, all our
stores and shops seemed to be filled with
customers and all as busy as bees in lilac
bloom. A little settled, mild and good
weather just now, would help wonderfully,
and it is not. probably for distant, and then
we shall expect to see all sail set for more
prosperous business gales than we have ex-
perienced the past two years.
A most delightful social event was the
marriage, on Wednesday evening last, of
Annie, the youngest daughter of Eben Hill,
Esq. A select party of friends were gather-
ed to witness the nuptials, the marriage
having been performed by Bishop Simpson,
of the M. E. Church, at 6, p. m, the happy
pair leaving on the evening express train
for New York, and extending their tour to
Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Cincinnati.
The fortunate groom,J. B. Thomas, Esq.,
is one of the thrifty and cultured young
business men of Boston, and the happy
pair start on life's voyage with all prosper-
ous gales blowing lovingly upon them_
Friends, far and near, vied with each other
in bestowal of bridal gifts, while the beau-
tiful and appropriate floral decorations were
bewitchingly enchanting. “Pinard,” the
celebrated New York caterer, prepared a
most exquisitely tempting and beautiful
“spread,” and the verdict of all was that
its appointments were not only faultless,
but far beyond anything ever witnessed in
this section before.
May all the happy auspices under which
the morning star of this marriage so brightly
beams, be but the happy prophecy of a
long, uncloudcd, and increasingly radiant
future.

We are sincerely pained to learn that our
venerable editorial friend of the Derby
Transcript has sustained the irreparable loss
of the sight of one of his eyes. Although
he can see more with one eye than most
editors with two, such a misfortune is most
distressful. Hereafter we shall consider his
want of faith in, and prejudices against our
“Parallel Railroad,” all comes from his not
being able to look upon both sides of rail-
road questions. Nevertheless wc always
have the abiding conviction in our neighbor
Bacon’s case, that his errors of head never
affect his heart.
Last year the democracy “ reformed” the
Borough charter to suit themselves. Of
course such tinkering as made then could
not hold for any length of time, and now
the charter is to be repaired again. Well:
the laborer is worthy of his hire, and no
man should be debarred from honest trade
simply because the people have chosen him
to serve as a burgess in the Borough of N or-
walk. . You cannot force men to be honest.
by such mean legislation.

Goodwin to the Front Again.
East Hartford failed to send its most noted
citizen to the Legislature this season,but
he did not allow himself to be forgotten.
He broughta petition before the Superior
Court, (Judge Martin) as one of the stock-
holders in the New York, New Haven&
Hartford Railroad company, praying for an
injunction to restrain said company from
issuing “free passes” to members of the leg-
islature or state officers, or allowing them
to ride free in their cars; and further ask.
ing that the company shall bring into court
the list of its stockholders, to the end that
they may each and all be joined in this
action. Judge Martin has granted a tem.
porary injunction to the effect above named
and the order in relation to the stocklist,
and the case will be heard some time in
July, or after the legislature shall have been
in session over two months.
It was singular that the Presidential
party on its trip to the Lexington and Con-
cord Centennial celebrations, should have
been first to be affected by the injunction,
and the unenviable notoriety our state will
acquire in consequence leads to the query
whether Judge Martin would not have done
a more consistent service if he had limited
his interdiction to members of the Legisla-
ture, as applied for by brother Goodwin.
The President's party were the invited
guests of the state of Massachusetts, and
that great state will pay all expenses with-
out any quibble or cavil, but the occurrence
of stopping the President and his party at
the entrance door of the Grand Central
depot for ten or more minutes, as was done,
will not redound to the credit of either the
state or the railroad.
The people of the State will generally re-
joice, we think, that the New Haven Life
Insurance Company has come out of its long
trial with flying colors. If it should turn
out, as is so freely charged, that this smirch
upon the character and standing of 9. Con-
necticut company was instituted by Com-
missioner Stedman in a spirit of malice, and
that this expense to the treasury, and scan-
dal, would never have occurred had Benj.
Noyes not been connected therewith, then
there is a work for our Legislature to do in
the removal of Mr. Stedman. Such costly
quarreling should not be tolerated, for too
many interests of innocent parties are im--
perillcd thereby.

Norwalk is behind the lighthouse in rc~

mania is raging all over the country, and
the contests, when well conducted, are ex-
citing and entertaining in the highest de-

ceit is taken out of good scholars even, at
these trials, and how many words there are
in which one letter wrong will paint a man’s

it is, without exaggeration, the great Ameri-

Vacation this week at the Center District‘
School. The scholars were indulged in a
Reception, at the School House, last Friday
evening.
The Committee appointed by the County-
Agricultural Society are making arrange-
ments for the Horticultural Exhibition to
be held in June next.
The event of the season is to be the Lee-
ture of Hon. Scnurmsu Conra'x on the
Life and Character of ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
at Loekwood’s Hall on Thursday evening
of next week. We would advise our read-
ers to secure their seats at once, for we can
assure them, the fame of the lecturer and
the theme of his discourse will fill Lock-
wood‘s Hall as it was never filled before.
We have already had personal assurances
of persons living in Slamford,l)aricn, and
Westport, that they intend coming; and it!
Danbury and ltidgeficld parties are also
arranging to run down a special train to
accommodatethose who desire to crime
from these stations and hear, and the lee:
lure will abundantly pay for the .expense
and trouble. Having heard it ourselves, we
can testify that no platform recital to which
we have ever listened is so filled with thrill.
ing interest and information. We can but
congratulate our citizens and our Odd Fel-
low Brethren upon their rare good fortune
in being able to secure him for the first and
only New England lecture this season. We
append further notices of the press of his
masterly effort:
From the Iowa City Republican.
Ham’s Hall was crowded by the largest
audience that ever greeted a public lecturer
in this city. Mr. Colfax reached the hall.at
precisely 8 o’clock, and was received wrth
tumultuous and prolonged applause. He
stepped forward upon the platform, and
thanked the large and brilliant audience be-
fore him for the manner of his reception
upon his return to Iowa City. He was glad
to observe the presence of so many young
men—students of the University and others
—tor, above all men, the pure and noble
life of Abraham Lincoln, was worthy of
their emulation. It would do manifest in.-
justice to the grand theme of his magma-
cent oratory to attempt an - epitomized
sketch of this noble eulogy of the martyred
Lincoln.
The lecture occupied an hour and a half
in its delivery, and the audience hungiu
breathless rapture upon the finished rheto-
ric and graphic recital, of the eloquent and
distinguished gentleman.
Mr. Colfax had a very fine audience on
Monday night, to hear his lecture on “Abra-
ham Lincoln." We are glad so many of
our citizens had an equal opportunity with
those of larger cities to hcar Mr. Colfax
delineate the life and character of a true
type of American manhood, * ”i and
could follow Mr. Colfax. as he touched wrth
master hand each salient point of Lincoln’s
character. We feel ourself honored. in
ranking Mr. Colfax among our old-time
personal friends’. To us he is ever the
same genial, generous, true-hearted man. of
whom we nevercould and never will be-
lieve anything dishonorable, however much
we may differ political] .

The storm of lasf Friday evening did not
prevent the gathering of an unusually large
audience at the Opera House, to witness
the performances of the favorite Washbnrn
company. The programme was very long
and varied in character, and the entire per-
formance gave the best of satisfaction.
Manager Washburn has been in the business
thirty-three years, and has established a
first-class reputation as an amusement di-
rector. He is proud of his present com-
pany, and well he may be, for it is the best
traveling.
Comma—There is a fair prospect that
the amusement season will open quite lively
this Spring. We have received advance
copies of Howe’s& Cushing’s Court Jour-
nal containing full accounts of their great
United States Circus which has arrived
fresh from a tour of Europe and with which
they have connected the well-known New
York Circus. They also have trained ani-
mals, Pearge’s dens of performing lions, etc.
We have also received P. T. Barnum’s
“ Advance Courier,” an illustrated 24 page
paper, filled with pictures and descriptions
of all the wonderful Barnumalities connect-
ed with his mammoth Roman Hippodrome,
which has already started out from 27th
street on a grand summer tour of the States.
He calculates to “astonish the natives” more
than ever before.
St. Nicholas for next month is full of
bright sunshine and May flowers, to gladden
