sAn quarrn :—As stated in our last.
:33Forty-fou13th Congress commenced itsI
Session at meridian on Monday. After
11g the Senate to order, the President
wmporc—Ilon. Thomas W. Ferry, of
riganI3-—announcch prayer by th’b Chap-
Rcv. Dr. Byron Sundcrland. It was
{cred amid profound silence and with
nn impressivcness in the following
Eighty and everlasting God, we adore Thee
c Sup eme Ki ag. May we believe and trust
1ec as our Father' 1n heaven, the Author or cv~
lessing. As we come into this place, yctdaIrk,
the shadow of national bereavement. as Thy
mts assembled together here, and some who
with them last shall come no more, help-us to
so the truth that we too are mortal; that; our
arc suift as arrows; ,th'fit our aIwork will
kly cease; that the sunset will be upon 11s ere
omc to know it. '
I ord our God, we thank Theo for the' kindness
vn to these Thy servants, in that thou' hast
Ight them here from many distant points in
th and safety. Remember them still for good.
s ri‘hy scr1 ant the President of the Unitcil'
es, and all others' 1n authority over us. Bless
Congress now convened to enter upon their
rs. Bless this whole nation with the presence
: the power of Thy Holy Spirit, and with a deep-
Iith in Thee, through Jesus Christ. Amen.”
ftcr a few preliminary motions further-
thc organization, Mr. Boutwcll gave no-
of the death of Viccl’rcsident Wilson,
that resolutions relating to his life, char-
~r and‘public services would at an early
be introduced. An informal consulta-
had been held in reference to a similar
' .ouncement in regard to the death of Sen-
Ferry, of Connecticut, when it was con-
" .led to postpone the announcement of his
:11 until after the Holiday recess.

Senators and most of the auditors has-
:d to the House, which was the centre of
rest. Rumors were rife that there would

a motley crowd, numbering many thous-
apressed for admittance at every possi-
opening. The galleries and floor of the
158 were jammed to their utmost capac-
1, and the corridors and approaches were
sked with other thousands unable to get
r the great hall of the nation’s Represen-
~vcs.
She balloting for officers of the House
at on, however, without a bait, and the
ainees of their caucus were all declared
- . _:ted. Mr. Kerr took the Speaker’s chair
-, ', returned thanks, as is usual, for his elec-
.. 1. But so feeble as he is in health, and
‘umultuous a body has he to govern, that
predict that he will break down before
session is half over. The members pres-
having been sworn in, there sprang up
to a breeze over the admission of contest-
members from Louisiana. This quarrel

' P-. ed in the caucus 10101111111511, the nomi-
~ . ion of the Rev. Mr. Townsend, an Epis-
al clergyman, rector of the .Church of the
arnationhere, and he was elected. The
fe circumstance which gave Representa-
1'Barnum his success was certainly cred-
ile to the democratic Congressman. The
-.mble for the Chaplaincy had been quite
fierce as for the other positions. . It is
med 9. very desirable plumb to pluck, and
1tcd ballots were circulated by hired and
rested parties, the same as in the cases
all other elective ofllcers. Mr. Barnum

.-. lknown Episcopal pastor in this city—
- : formerly he was from Connecticut. He
no personal acquaintance with him, but
gentleman had been very highly com-
1ded to him. Another thing he would
. -Mr. Townsend had lured no ballots to be
itedfor himself and he hoped he might
' suffer for that omission. The un-eleri‘
mode of securing the place by getting
.ots printed in advance and then impor-
ing for votes seems to have struck the
1d of the caucus, and forthwith Mr.
vnsend, the clggyman with no printed
- «lots, was nominated. Mr. Barnum is not
tons as a speech—maker, but his address
he caucus was a success, and he rejoices
v in listening to .the fervent prayers of
chaplain of his choice. The Tribune
'e a little romance to Mr. Townsend’s
1d fortune by starting the story that he
s driven out of Connecticut during the
r for his secesh views and utterances. 0f
lrse, the story is untrue, and while annoy-
, to a worthy clergyman is no credit to that
1 lependent newspaper. Our recollection
Mr. Townsend is that he was pastor of
'* ~ Episcopal church in Danbury at the
aking out of the war, and was also prin-
al of a Rectory school there. If we re-
mber rightly, the present editor of the
Indium, Mr. Butler, was associated with
1 as an assistant in the church or school
Danbury, and that, while he was of the
spoken democratic persuasion and a man
: 0 did his own thinking, and was not
1.. inclined to “ argue the case” spiritedly,
e: :h any who opposed him—he was never-
"1 less free from the “peace-flag” folly prev-
nt at the time, and was never coerced or
1-. lasted in any way. If we are in error,
1 Palladium Editor and he of the Danhury
we, will set us right. He is certainly es-
med here as a most exemplary christian
nister and worthy man.
fir. Barnum was also fortunate enough to
ure one of the twelve places" 1n the gift of
31 House Postmaster, for a son of Ex-Post-
* ster Goodsell, of Bridgeport, and he was
1 only one of the twelve that could take
1 iron clad oath. There is a row brewing

:an-ts from that city. The rest of his state,
' 18 Mal'l'land, and all of the remainder o.
nation, except the Connecticut 4th Con-
ssional District, are incensed beyond
'nposure at such a SWluish disposal of the
file. A new caucus is threatened .330333 his
310val.
.‘here were forty-nine democratic patriots
e, from our state, anxiously waiting an
)ortunity to serve their bleeding country
., :2 ler the new House organization. Letters
re- received by our Senators and three
presentatives from others who had the
Idence to stay at home—to the number
nearly three hundred, 113 we were credit-
y informed. As Connecticut is the dem-
utic banner state, of the New England
axy, we may expect that our Congress.
.n will be able to secure especial recogni-
' n in _the spread of loaves and fishes. In

Ferry deceased: No better selection could
havoibccn made. Mr; W. is one of the
ablcst-lawycrs in New England,’apd,withul,
. a moat perfect counterpart of Mr. Ferry in
his unsiverviug integrity and fidelity to du-
ty. Mr. IKernan, of New York, is the new
Democratic member added to the commit-
.te‘e. He is also a high- -min3'd3ed gentleman
arid very able lawyer. The first meeting of
the committee will be held: immediately up-
on the re assembling of3tl1~e SIIIcnalc after the
first of Jan3ual‘v.3
Much excitement prevails 110103 over the
bill of rudielmcnl found by the St. Louis
jury against Gen. Bsbcock the President‘s
private secretary Charges 11,111] even indict-
ments of Grand- Juries are 131301 al'ways con-
'elusive of guilt, and both the friends oi the
"accused and of the President, are earnestly
in hopes that this young officer, who has
hitherto_ b‘orno -a,_n unblem1shed character,
may be 3.a3ble3 to prove his innocence of the
dishOnIorable conductof 1' hich he stands ac-
cased: His immediate friends assert that
his gravest fault has been his relations of
personal intimacy with the whiskey-ring
villains. The air is thick with rumors 1n-
solving a member .of the President’s family
in similar wrongs at Chicago, but not the
slightest proof has been; adduccd' 1n confir-
,r'uahon' of the3 insinuated charges. There
would be no delay i113 putt-ing such proof be-
fore’thepubhc1f1tex1stcd . , .
The zealous c saous‘al of the th1rd term
nonsense of the Methodist Bishop Haven,
occasions much merriment among old polit-
cal managers hcl'..e Thé Methodists are un-
doubtedly the most powerful body of relig-
iouists in this Country. Should they com-
bine to take up President Grant for a third
term they might sorely perplex the profes.
sional politicians. It' is but-fair to believe
Gen. Grant simply honest when he says he
don't want a re-election. Whatever else the
President may be, or may have been, he has
never attempted the character of a dissem-
bler.
Postmaster General Jew _ell remains in the
Cabinet and Postmaster Burt of Boston,
who was going to hurl33 him therefrom, isn’t
Postmaster at Boston anymore. Postmas-
ter Burt was a wealthy and 3highly influen-
tial man at the Hub, but this did not pre-
vent Mr. Jewell from insisting that he
should attend to the duties of the Boston of-
See, instead of attempting to run the Post
Office Department here,as he seemed de-
termined to do. The contest, the result, and
the lesson may be profitably contemplated
by others in the public service.
Gen. Hawley was here the last of the
week, extending an invitation to Congress
to visit the Centennial grounds and build-
ings thiaawcek. A special train will con-
vey them' to and from Washington.
We had designed to again refer to the
issues in our-Slate politics, raised by the
Bromley letter, but this correspondence has
run out to such length that we must defer it
for this week. As ever, B.
THE WEEK.
We are to have more than the usual num-
ber of entertainments this week, and all of
the right character. ,
Camilla Urso.
To-night this gifted lady is to make her
second appearance in Norwalk, at the Opera
House, this time under engagement with
Phoenix Engine Company, the occasion be-
ing their anniversary. This “White armed
Juno” of violinists is to be supported by a
full concert company of her own selection,
and the entertainment is sure to be delight-
full.
School Exhibition.
Owing to the fact that the entertainment
for the benefit of Fitch’s Home is to be held
on Friday evening next, the time of holding
the Over River District School Exhibition
has been changed to Wednesday evening.
This entertainment is to be for the special
benefit of the lower grades of the school.
The exercises by the children will be of the
usual character, and of general interest.
The exhibition is to be held in the School
House and the admission has been placed
low. ; ,
Carl Schurz.
On Thursday evening the Hon. Carl
Schurz, the world-famed orator, appears in
the Winter Evening Course of Entertain-
ments. The Opera House will be crowded
with the best audience Norwalk can muster.
We hope to see many present from adjacent
towns. As an additional attraction the
South Norwalk Band will be in attendance
and discourse some of their best music.
Benefit of Fitch’s Home.
On Friday evening the Opera House will
be occupied by the children of Fitch's Home,
who will give amentertainment of Reading,
Recitation Music, Essays Juvenile Operetta,
850. General intent seems to pervade the
community to gave them a rousing “benefit. ’3
The 1nst1tut1on rs needy and deserving, and
our citizens will certainly respond liberally
to this call. See adv.
Town Meeting.
The a.nnual meeting for the hearing of
Town Reports is called for next week
Monday. It is always a meeting of much
importance, but this year there will be bus-
iness of more than usual interest. Read the

The Message.
President Grant’s Annual Message was
somewhat lonaer than his previous efforts.
We have not room for it entire, but give the
closing. ‘
L
RECAPITULATION.
As this will be the only message which I
gress before my successor is chosen, I33. will
repeat or recapitulate the questions which I
deem of vital importance which mny be
le islated upon and settled at this session. .
irst—That the States shall be requiredt
to afford the opportunity of a good common
uchool education to every child within their
imils
Second—No sectarian tenets shall ever he
taught' 1n any school supported 1n whole or
in part by the state, nation, or by the pro-
ceeds of any tax levied on any community.
Make education, compulsory, so far as to
deprive all who cannot write from becom-
ing Voters :13 3,890 disfraucbising none,
'ho'vvevor,o ,ground of illiteracy, who
may be voters at." the time the amendment
takes effect. -
, Third—Declare Church and State forever
separate sud distinct, but each free within
their proper spheres,3 and that all church
property shall bear its own proportion of
taxation.
Fourth—Drive out licensed immorality,
such as polygagmy and the importation of
women for ii itimate purposes.'~. To recur
again to the centennial year, it would seem
as though now that wté‘ are about to begin
the second century of our national existence
it Would be a at fitting time for these re-

States, I submit the rest to Congress.

in securing that twenty-five dollars per an-

board, and of all the intricacies of bowing,
he produces a most beautiful tone, especially
full and resonant where most‘ violinists are
deficent—in the “harmonies.” He was en-
thusiastically recalled after Ernst’s “Hunga-
rian’ Fantaisie,” and in response played
Pazzini’s “ Witches’ Dance." Mr. Hartde_
gen is a fine violinccllist, and perform d in
an artistic manner; his tone is remarkably
free from the nasal quality characteristic
of so many performers on his instrument.
Objection may he made, however, to his too
frequent use of the sudden crescendo, or pf-
nally. Miss Schirmcr, who seemed not in.
good voice, used the same effect rather more
than was necdful. Mr. Belz kept his aim
cult instrument in good tune, and played
wit-h much expression, and a frequent use of
the “echo”—much to the admiration of the
audience. Mr. Weiner played the flute very
acceptably. The ensentbla effect of this ac-
complished s'cxtett was very fine, and to
those unaccustomed to unravel the devious
courses of orchestral music, much more sat-
isfactory than that of Thomas’ orchestra.

Dream," was the most ofl'ectivefielection;
the Hungarian Rhapsody needs‘ this: instru-

Camilla III-so.
Atgtgfist dippcarance of Camilla Urso,
e ample proof- of her rare power
over the 1101111 playing a polonaisc from
Spohr with superb finish. Her playing
shows a m-1sculine breadth of style, combi-
ningwlth1t an inexpressible sweetness,a
delicious tenderness, together with a cer-
tain fascination afm'elhod. She awoke the
enthusiasm of the'audicnIce by her render-
ing of the polonaise, and 1h response to the
encore gave an admirable se.cc1ion,a spark-
, fig: gemgin which the music fairly rippled
I er‘ mow. At her second appearance;
when she gave an another difficult selec-
tion with the same characteristic sweetness
and beauty, the audience became more on-
thusiastic and rather exacting. In response
to their encore Madame Urso gave “The
Last Rose of Summer, " unaccompanied by
the mono, W1th entra3ncing cflcct amid the
most absolute attention, which brought an-
other encore to which3 she. grace1ul'y re-
sponded with another beautiful selection.
Madame Urso possesses wonderful power
over the violin. She handles it, m01',e0ver
with apparent case.——l_2,'tica Observer.
Her execution has lest none of its old
charm, as was amply attested by the favor
wnh wh1ch it was received. And in part
second of the programme she met with a
perfect ovation, and was t11'1ce1ee'tllcdl.c-
fore the enthusiastic demonstrations could
be quelled ——Aubur n Ada-er tfser.
Her playing is faultless and charming.
Under her skillful hand the instrument pro-
duces the sweetest music, charming the souls
and winningthc praises and pleasures of
km hearers. Her playing is certainly be-
yond criticism. —-Elmi1 a Gazette.
Of course, the great feature was the su-
pcrb playing of Madame Urso, 11 hose solos
were enthusiastically encorcd.

it is no ordinary discovery in medical science to

dreaded by mankind, and acknowledged to be de-
structive 1n the extreme to the human system.
That the properties of certain vegetables comprise
all the virtues of calomel without its injurious ten-
dencies, is now an admitted fact, rendered indie
putablc by scientific researches; and those who
use the Mandrake Pills w1ll be fully satisfied that

It is :1 mistake to suppose that C. tstona' IS not ad.
opted to grown persons as 11 oil as Children. They
only need to mercase the quantity. But children
have so many complaints for which Castoria is
adapted—likcI‘VIndCOIic,Sour Stomach,Worms
Tetter, Teething and Group, that it is especially
recommended for them.
Its effects are more certain than Castor 01]. It
contains no alchohol and is as pleasant to take
as honey. It never gripes. By regulating the
stomach and bowels the Castoria cools, the
