EDITORIAL LETTER.
. Wasluxsrox, Jan. 9th, 187 6.
Dear: .G.tznj1"rlz.»—Tlie.mills of legislation
are again getting ready to grind. In the Seli-
ntc we have. had one set speech only, that. by
Mr. Moi-rill of Vermont, on the currency and
specie resumption question, but the commit-
tees are already'l'ull of work. Senator Eng-
lish has submitted a. bill and had it referred
to the jtuliciarycommittce, radically changing
the probate laws of this District—a reform
very greatly needed. Mr. Eaton gave notice
at the conclusion of Senator Morrill’s speech
that he should as; the attention of the Senate
at an early day, to an exposition of his views
on the great and puzzling subject which so
bothers the heads . of all astute financiers,
which practically, is, how can we pay a dol-
lar in cold With a dollar in greenbzicks.
All special interest centres in the House,
however. Our democratic friends have an
overwhelming majority there, and yet they
are not happy. Almost from the moment of
the recoiivening of the House on Wedncs-
day, l-‘ernando \Vood has pressed himself to.
theifrent in a manner that is interpreted by
Sammy Cox, Sam. Randall and other would-be
leaders, as indicative of an assumption on
Wood’s part of the leadership, under the‘
vaer of the silent Morrison. This doesn’t
‘2 he!) the incesgant pestering of the
few udrthérn and eastern democratic seekers
for positions, who have not yet opened their
eyes to the fact that none but ex-rebels have
any chance for a place under the House or-
tempers most disastrousl y, and there [sIno peace
to the democratic. Congressmen north of Mn.-
son and Dixon’s line. Said one of them in
our hearing, but a few hours since, in conver-
sing upon this matter of giving all the-sub-
ordinate plaees to rebels so exclusively,
“ The. » southern part of our party are making
d«--—d fools of themselves and ruining ns
botlu” Said another, referring to the fact that
jimr southern cx—eougressmcu had been teas-
ing for and taking cveu‘o place in the paste
room: “ \Vell, its starvation or wort, with
these poor devils down south, and they must
have an office or die.” This was said by a
Kentuckian, who added, “It isn’t so » hard
for your northern democrats not to get a place
for they know howto turn themselves and get
a living, but our best people who have become
impoverished by participation in the rebellion
must hefirl by an office some way, for they
are utterly powerless to help themselves.”
“ Pity tis, tis true." Alas, too true.
The National Republican says one applicant
for a place under the Texas rebel doorkecper
Fitzlmgh, demanded a place because he had-
killed more Yankees than his rival for the
same position. This might pass frr a grim
joke did not several repu‘l’ablc witnesses de-
clare that they overheard the remark made in
excited earnest. Nor are the rampant ele-
ments of disloyalty confined to the appoint-
ees under House clerk, door-keeper and post-
master. The Congressional Directory, pre-
, pared with great labor and pains by Major
Ben Pcrley Poore, gives, in the short bio.
graphical sketches furnished by each member
himself, a uniform and almost unbroken nar-
ration of some treasonable act on the part of
every southern democratic member of the
House. The great Mr. Morrison of Illinois,
who was active in pushing Speaker Kerr’s
f ortuncs and . rewarded therefor by being
placed at the head of the House, has ominous-
ly omitted all reference to his slight identifi_
cation with the. Union cause. But that this
might not be sufficient atonement for his loy—
alty, he yesterday appointed a southern brag—
gart tothcclerksllip of his Connnittee, whose
chief claim‘ to democratic consideration is
eolu was assassinated, he named the child
Wilkes Booth. These would be terrible facts to
narrate, were it hotfor the other fact,of which I
I am hourly assured, and' that -Iis, our north-
sick andsihggust dwith this state of things
as the Iii-21100, Cans are: Indced,-if there be
any clifffiéhéb?havingjthe most to lose and
more respénsibility, we are inclined to think
they even feel worse. , '
The attempt to reduce the regular army is
well understood to bc‘only a conspiracy to
create vacancies to which those officers who
leftit to take-part. in the rebellion, may be re—
stored. Fortunately all such craft defeats
itself. 3 I -
Connecticut has commanded special con--
sideration the past week, at the Capitol. The
Attorney General gave out recently, that the
state of Marshal C‘arll’s accounts were such
and theeevideuce supplied by Anthony Com-
stock so conclusive of intentional wrong do
ing, that he was ready to commission Carll’s
successor. This information led to a lively
but entirely good-natured struggle for the
succession. Ex-Congressman S. 11’. Kellogg,
who is always first to scent and on hand to
promptly fill any Federal vacancy, was on
hand with a candidate named Goodyear, of
‘New Haven. Your correspondent as patrioti-
cally sought the sacrifice of A. II. Camp of
our county. ‘ .The contest waxed fierce.
Both hoped to gain the alliance, the potent
aid and influence of the Postmaster General.
But early in the contest, that sagacious pub-
lic servant retired in good order from the
field. Then the bland Henry Hammond
tom, presented just the man of all others, fit-
ted by naturc,-education, location and asso-
_ciation, for the place. He secured Stark-
weather’s‘activealliance, who, like the mon-
key who played lawyer in the fable, adjusted
the cheese question between Goodyear and
.Camp. The contest ‘was not absolutely set-
tled tlll brought up in Cabinet meeting Fri-
day, when the fact that Mr. Starkweather
was now the only Republican repscsentative
from Connecticut in either House of Con-
gress, settled it that he should have the nam-
ing of Carll’s successor, which he had already
done in the person of Josern D. Barns of
. tars-ha], andiwhatever else

but this Senator Hamlin, chairman of the
committee, declined, but consented -to with.

writing anything he might wish to offer.
Gov. English informs us that he has no doubt
of Knowlton’s immediate confirmation as
soon as this formal but usual courtesy is ex—

Mrs. Elizabeth M. Raymond was appointed

ing stamps outside his delivery in violation of

in this tuppenny way it shan’t be in Connecti-
cut. -
A-petition with some thirty-eight signatures,
was received at the P. 0. Department last
week, for the removal of Lewis Catlin, P.
M. of Harwinton, Litchficld County. The
signatures were nearly all written in the same
hand, and as a result were not very effective.-
“ Society" men and Women are at the acme

One of the -niost enjoyable associations
here is the Shakspcarc' Club, composed of
many of the most talented and brilliant ladies
and gents at the National Capital. It meets
weekly at the houses of its members, and the
evenings pass with parlor dramatic represent-
atiOns, readings, vocal and instrumental mu-
sic. Tire hlst one was held at the house of
)Ir. Murdock, who was some fifteen or more
years ago a plain Knight of Crispin iu Nor-
walk. The host, on the above-occasion, read
Tam O'Shanter in a masterly manner. Gen.
Twccdalc of the \Var Department, most ad-
mirably read several humorous selections,
while Misses Fesscndeu and Adams of Stam-
ford, sang and played the piano exquisitely.
Mr. ‘Chauuccy IIIickox, of the General Land
Office, but somz-tilnc since of the editorial
stall" of the New Haven Palladlmn, read to
a delighted audience, Friday evening-1110
first book of Homer's Iliad, as translated by
Wm. Cullen Bryant. Thesb II “ evenings”
with the poets, with music and scutiment,are
more highly estbemcd and deemed more select
than the most elaborate “ toilette” and strict-
ly “ social" entertainments. The fashion ed-
itox‘ of the Chronicle referring to a delightful
social gathering, says: “Among those pres-
out were the interesting representatives from
Stamford, CL, Misses Ella Adams and Fee-
senden, bright and pl ‘asing belles."
George I. Buxton, :1 Norwalk .boy, Who
graduatel from our personal staff while on
the Tribune during the .war, and for the past
Land Office, recently resigned his position
and passed several months on the Pacific
coast: thoroughly examining land grants,
mines, &c., and has now returned and
opened a general Claim and Pension agency
office here. He will win his way to fame
and fortune, ere he dies, as other Norwalk
boys have done before, with nothing to aid
him but his uprightCharacter and indomita-
ble will.

' The weather still remains warm, but clear

run HELPLESS roon.
Vigorous efforts are made by the Benevo-
lent Societics to provide for the helpless poor.
Soup—houses are set up in (different parts of
the city, where a hot, nourishing meal is giv-
’ on for about six cents! and several decent free
lodging-houses afford shelter for the homeless,
deserving poor : leaving the station houses to
keep ‘the professional tramps and beggars.
Two things are wanting to make the life 'of
the poor in New York and elsewhere any-
thing but tolerable wretchcdncss. The first
is decent lodgings, and provisions at a low
rate. It is true that rents and expenses in
generalare three time as high here as they
are in London: a- fact weighs heavily on
the rich, and is all but extinction to the poor.
High rents force the price of everything up
to correspond, in order to pay them. Nor
need any of your readers think that this
is a matter which does not concrn them; for
the tendency of prices, of work and produce,
in other towns, tends to that of the great
centres. Servants measure their wages, and
merchants their gains, by the prices in New
York. There‘isn’t a village where this is
read, that people do not charge as near the
regular rates of the cities, as they dare.
There is not a town in the states, that is not
interested; for its own sake, in the conditign
of things here; because it must feel their
influence sooner or later. The only comfort
of hard times, is, that they must bring living
down for the rich and poor. The extortion
of rents Charged in tenement houses is fright-
ful. It is a. fact that ‘thc swarming,
squalid tenements on‘filthy streets brings in
more rent than up-town dwellings. Not an
attic closet, with half the glass out of the
panes, grimy and decayed, but brings its four
dollars a month to the owner. And there
will be forty rooms in a building, the decent-
est ones calling for ten dollars to fifteen dol-
larsamonth; this, in the poorest class of
tenements.
* nu. Bowrx.
Tliirfact that it has been made to appear
that Mr. Bowen’s paper, The Independent,”
was uSed, to some extent," to further the
Pacific railroad scheme, is animadverted up-
on severely. It is astonishing how wise
people are, after the fact. At the time The
I mlepelulent was urging the building 0' the
road, that paper, like every other one in the
United States, believed not only in' Jay
Cooke, but in the road. Jay~Cooke was sup-
posed to be strong enough to carry the enter-
prise to a successful end, and The Independ.
ml is no more to be blamed for assistinghim,
than are the depositors who had their money
in his bank for losingit. I should like to go
through the safes of someof the papers that
are abusing Mr. Bowen, and see if I couldn't
find some of those terrible bonds therein.
The most of them IltllI 801115 of that pork,
and I believe they all came honestly by it.
The fact is Mr. Bowen did what every news-
paper man did, he worked for what he be-
lieved to be a good thing, and was paid for it
only what he should have been. It is queer
if a statcsnmn, like a dozen I could mention,
should have his expenses paid for ad-
vocating a scheme, and a newspaper should
not. The fact that it failed makes no differ-
ence. I have known quite a number of very
excellent schemes that. have failed. Jay
Cooke has gone, but the road will yet' be
built, and Mr. Bowen will live to read his
articles in its advocacy, with much satisfaction
and right. Here let me say that those who
are abusing Mr. Cooke are not doing the
nicest thing in nature. When he was pros-
perous, and carrying on great. enterprises, he
was the most popular man in America. It is
only since he succumbed to circumstances
that would have crushed any one, that he is
counted differently. . How many men would
have done better than he did '3 -
’rne CARNIVAL or CRIME. .
Iscrime, like cholera, epidemic? It would
seem so. The pistol, knife and bludgeon

ten years a valuable clerk in the General
New Year’s till now, and the police reports
show no abatement even yet. One. frenzied
man shoots his wife, cuts the throats of his
'fonr children, and then kills himself, which
last murder was the only one that the world
need be. thankful for. The number of grog-
shop homicides New Year’s eve and the night
following was frightful. And what is singu-
lar, it keeps up steadily. But the most
TERRIBLE. MURDER
on record was that at the Westminster Hotel,
Saturday night. Romaine Dillon, a wealthy
and first-family ‘batchclor of fifty, shot a
gentleman named Dilleber in the corridor of
the hotel, after a moment’s altercation, the
victim dying in a. few hours. The singular
thing. about it is, that the parties had no
quarrel—indeed they scarcely knew each
other. Dillon was offended with _Dilliber for
walking in the corridor—understand, they
were both boarders—and had shown his dis-
pleasure all day, Meeting Dilliber that ever-
ing, he ordered him to get out of the corri-
Dillon drew his Derringer and shot him.
Now the facts come out. It appears that
Dillon has been insane. for years—that when
he. was boarding at the Brevoort House he
was in the habit of quarreling with the
boarders on the most absurd pretext‘s, which
created such a fear of him that the managers
were compelled to get rid of him. 110 show-
ed murderous propensities then, but never
a word was said about it, and he went to the
Westminster. Since he has killcda man the
proprietor states that this lunatic has been
away from the house; that if any walked in
the corridor in front of his room he would
pcrenIiptorily order him away, and if be de—
clined to‘obcy, he would shoot at him coolly
as though he were a dog. But never a word
of all this was said to any one by the pro-
prietor. The Dillon family are profoundly
grieved that poor Dilliber was killed, but
they were always afraid that something of
the sort would happen; They always knew
that poor Remaine was crazy, and they ,kept
away from him, but they never said anything
about it, for the subject was painful to them.
Of course, Dillon will lfe'put in an asylum,
but had I the making of the laws, I should
provide for the punishment of several other
parties. The proprietors of the Brevoort
and Westminster hotels would go up for not
putting this murderous lunatic where he
could harm no one. Then I would send up
the entire DillOn family for not letting the
world know that their brpther was crazy,
and also had been, and that it was Ida-Igcrous
to, have him running 10030.
i run 'rnounnns or a MILLonuim.
Y a have heard of the ,‘.‘ Vinegar Bitters.”
The proprietor, or one of them, is a man
named Walker, who married a wife in Cal-
iforni: . In making and selling this horrible-
tasting medicine, “ Dr." Walker has amassed
alarge fortune, for ,his “bitters” tasted so
badly that people supposed there must be
virtue in them. But “Dr.” Wallm-‘slove
ashis lucre. In fact he got to dcspite'fully
low her money as she desired, and as she
further avers, he squandered the ducats
that should have been her comfort
upon other women. I She drags him into
court, and swears that he issquandcring his
fortune at the rate of $100 per day, and that
if he is not restrained he will run it all out;
Now comes \Valker’s story. He avers that
he is not only chaste, but fastidiously so ;-
that Mrs. Walker is a naughty woman, who
makes appointments with other men, and
does not in any sense live to the agreement
she made when she took him for better or
worse. And so the courts have got “ Dr."
and Mrs. \Valker, and the lawyers will have
fat pickincr. Both are able to pay, and ifthe
profits of Vinegar Bitters are not distributed
among the legal fraternity, all precedent is at
fault. '
run. LAST ream)
which agitates mercantile circles is the
lately-discovered defalcation of Beckwith,
manufacturer. Beckwith was in the habit
of paying out $1,300 and entering the pay-
ment for $13,000! pocketing the difference.
This little game went on till he had stolen
over $500,000! Babbitt and he quarreled
one day, and Babbitt discharged him—not for
the theft, for he knew nothing about that—
nnd Beckwith went into hiding. Babbitt’s
suspicions were not aroused for three months
after Beckwith’s departure, when an investi.
gation was had, and the stealing was unearth-
ed, and Beckwith arrested. . What is curious
Babbitt should permit defalcations to so
any one’s knowing anything about it. He
was in the habit of going away-from his bus-
iness for months, leaving cheques signed in
blank, which Mr. Beckwith filled up with
any amount he saw fit, and appropriated the
money as he pleased.
This was paralleled a few months ago by a
young man in the employ of a well-known
importing house. -He was on a salary of
$1,500 a year, but, nevertheless, be keyt
three horses and two women, and ran
through ' with $150,000 of his employer’s
money in three years. When the defalcation
was discovered the young gentleman was,
safely away, and the firm could not settle
their business without him. So they got
into correspondence with him, and forgave
him on condition that he would return and
so explain his stealings that they could get
their books straightened up. He good-
naturcdly did it, ‘for he had nothing against
them! Why Beckwith did not get away
with his plunder is a- mystery. The idiot
never left the city. Mr. Babbitt is entitled
to nosympathy. The merchant who runs
his business so carelessly offers a premium to
thieves. ’
nusrxnss
continues as dull as ever—indeed it is a little
more so. Now that the holidays are over, a
very large number of employees have been
dischargedfrom thc‘rctail stores, and much
suffering is anticipated. 'It is horrible to
swell the already throngcd ranks of the un-
employed. Thcre are unnumbered thousands
who would be glad of anything to do that
would give them daily bread. The slack
trade has thrown thousands of salesmen,
book-keepers, and people of that class, who
have always lived tolerable well, out of em-
ployment, and they suffer more severely
than others, for they-arc not used to it. The
is most anxiously looked for.

I want to be plumber,
And with the plumbers stand,
A busted pipe before me,
My solder in my hand.
‘ I \ 'ith rosin then, and acid,

And while the iron heated
IWould calmly smoke my pipe.
' Then I should want some charcoal,
And send the boy for that...
- While, musing very wisely,
. _I on my haunches sat.’
And when ’twas time fa- dinner,
We’d take two hours or more,
We’d scarcely get that hole stopped
In time to quit at four.
Our bill would be nine dollars;

A wicked wink I'd tip him,
And, smiling say, “That’s old!”
Who wouldn’t. be a plumber, ,
With Jack Frost for his friend,
And countless frozen sink spouts
And busted pipes to mend?

Mr. Davis was just as guilty, no more so,

the benefit of grace and amnesty. Proba-
bly he was far less efficient as an enemy of
the United States. Probably he Was far more
nsefulas a disturber of the councils of the
Confederacy. It is not because of any' pur-
ticnlar or 'special damage which be, above all
others, did to the United States, or because
he is particularly of any special consequence,
that I excepted him—but I excepted him on
this ground, that he is the author; know-
ingly, deliberately, guilty, wilfully, ' of the
gigantic murder andicrime at Andersonville.
A member—And Libby.
Libby pales in insignificance as compared
to Andersonville. I place it on that» grormd,
and I believe that so rapidly does one event
follow on the heels of another, in the rapid
agein which we live, that even those of us
who were contemporaneously :cognizant of
what was trauspiring there, still less those of
us who have grown' up since, have failed to
realize the gigantic crime which was there
committed. Since the gentleman from Penn-
sylvania introduced this bill I have taken the
occasion to read some of the historical
cruelties of the world. I have read over
the details of those atrocious mas-
sacres under the ' Duke of Alva in
the Low Countries, which are mentioned
with a thrill of horror throughout Christen-
dom. I have read the details of Saint Bar-
tholomew,_which stands out as one of the
atrocities beyond imagination, and I here,
before God, measuring my' words, knowing
their full extent and import. declare that
neither-the Duke of AlvaI of the low coun-
tries, nor the author of the massacre of Saint
Bartholomew, nor the‘thumb screws and dun-
geons and atrocities of the Spanish inquisi—
tion begin to compare in atrocity with the
hideous crime of Andersonville. [Sensation
in the hall and- galleries, and a remark by
Mr. Robbins of North Carolina, unheard by
Mr. Blaine, that it was aminfamous slander.]
Thank God, Mr. Speaker, that this Congress
was under different control from that under
which it is to-day. With a committee com-
posed of both parties, that tale of honor was
placed where it could not be denied or gain-
said. I hold in my hand the (story, written
out by a committee of this congress, and by
its authority I state that Winder, who is now
dead, was sent to Andersonville with the
knowledge of his previous atrocities, and
that those atrocities in Richmond, were so
bitter, so bad, that the Southern papers, the
Richmond Examiner for one, said, when it
was done, thatthey thanked God that Rich-
mond was rid. of its presence. We in the
North knew from returning skeletons what he
had accomplished at Belle Isle or Libby.
Fresh from those accomplishments he was
sent by Mr. Davis, against the protest of oth-
ers in the Confederacy to construct this pen
of horrors at Andersonville. Of course - it
would be utterly beyond my scope of the oc-
casion and beyond the limits of my:hour to
give any details but one—pmigning Mr.
Davis. I undertake here to say» that I do
not ask the gentlemen to take the testimony
of a single witness. rdo not ask them to
take the testimony of a single Union soldier.
I'only ask them to take the testimony of men
who were themselves engaged and enlisted in
the Confederate cause, and if thatItestimony
does not entirely carry out and justify this
declaration, which I will take the liberty to
read, I will'state that I have been entirely
in error in my reading. ' _
Mr. Blaine then proceeded to quote from
the report of the committee on the Conduct of
the war extracts in reference to the horrors
ofAndersonville, in which it is stated that no
pen can describe, no painter sketch, no im-
agination comprehend its fearful, its unat-

Wirz was nothing in the world but a mere
subordinate and tool, and therefore there
was no philosophy in selecting him for pun-

he deserved no mercy; but» at the» same time
his execution put me in mind of skipping
