EDITORIAL ‘LETTER.
WAsnrxoros, Feb. 27, 1876.
DEAR zesrrn z—Connecticut has had her
4 Hthird(Iaymbf Congressional mourning, the
pastsweqk. «_ {Thursday afternoon was, devoted
"to illitdxici'al alleges ofiour late Representa-
illicithE gglarnented, and universally beloved
P‘I’IE’S‘D“: II. S'rxnanx'rnsrr. Judge Phelps
announced his"deatb in'the House in fitting
Terms, and moved the customary resolutions
of respect to his memory. _- He was followed
by Messrs. Stevenson, _Hale and Garfield, In
addresses worthy oftheir dead associate. In
' the Senate, Mr. English presented the resolu-
tion forwarded from the House and paid a
sincere and truly eloquent tribute to his de-
ceased political opponent, but personal friend.
He was followed by Senators Dawes and Sam
gent, both of whom had served in the House
several years with Mr. Starluvcathcr; Mr.
liafon closed with a neat little eulogy, credit-
able alike to his head and heart.
Special solicitude'is felt as to the admission
of Pinchback .as Senator from Louisiana.
His chances seem to grow daily more uncer-
tain, and if he gets in at all,'it will be by a
“catch vote" when allopposcd tofllim are not
present. ' . ,
At the House end the financial'problcnris
just. now a. very troublesome matter, and the
cause of much unpleasantncss of feeling
among our Democratic brethren. It was
. stated last evening that the. special commit
tee raised to prepare a. satisfactory bill haal
‘. ' d in all their efforts to agree, and
for in the hands of Senator
rman. lie 35 a very shrewd and sngaciom:
politician, and his friendsfondly hope he may
be able to prepare a bill somewhat after the.
Connecticut Democraticplatform, which shall
"lull if a deer, and miss if a calf;"
Ill (belittle matter of selecting a Speaker.
rm t.<::z., it is well known that the Democrats.
of the House’dcaz'red to select. Blackburn of
{£32, instead of Cox, butBlackburn had been
2 :h a bitterrcbcl, and having held acom-
minioa‘ in' the Confederate army, it was
deemed imprudent to put him forward. He
is unquestionablv the best qttttlfied for the.
place of any DemocTat in the House, notcxj
ccpting Mr. Kerr. ,- ' ,
» CongreSS his let the District. 3. 65 Bonds in-
terest go to protest. It is as firmly bound for
the payment of these, principal and’ interest,
as for ally bond it has issued. Yet, the inter-
est on these are a month in default. Mean-
time the Democrats have been pushing their
bill to rcstorcto the Pension rolls such rebels
as were by their treason dropped therefrom.
The Republican Senators held a caucus on
this. nice little game Friday morning and
‘d as the bill allows the payment of ar-
' 23 of_pcnsions during the past fourteen
liftccn y- rs which are estimated to
amount to s...cral million dollars, the bill
might not be passed in the present condition
of the Treasury. This action will insure. its
(lUfLili, . nd such pensioners as participated in
the, Rebellion must wait until the Democrats
get. control of the Senate also. , ,
It is rumored thfi ex—Representative John
B. llawley, of.Ill., is to succeed Gen. Cowen
as Assistant Secretary of the Interior.- Mr.
Hawley will be remembai‘ed as having added
so greatly to the reported cratorical displays
( ’x i'
on the floor of the last House, by our friend_
31.13. llawley, of Connecticut.
The verdictlof “not guilty" in the case of
G p31. Babcock seems to have delighted every-
one except the’bitter few who thought by his
conviction the mud might spatter on the
President. Gen. Babcoizk has asked to be
released from his.Sccrctaryship and assigned
to duty again in the army. The President
has never wavered in his belief in Gen. B’s
nlrocence.
As stated by us last ‘week, there has
been no row in the Cabinet, and Secretary
Iirhlow' isn’t going out. _ ‘
Tie resident has sent to the Senate for
enai'irznjltion the name of Joseph D. Bates
as 7. S.'Marshal for Connecticut, vice Peter
R. Carli, allowed to resign. Oui- Congres-
sional delegation endorsed the standing of
hose Connecticut gentlemen who had peti-
tioned for his retention, and did not join di-
rectly in the request.
John Tweedy was also sent in same day as
Postmaster at Danbirry, vice Phineas Crosby.
There were no complaints against Mr.- Cros-
by’s Official conduct of the Danbury Pest-
(Illlztl‘, and the change is supposed to have
lea-en .made on purely perso grounds, as
’i .=. .13: w:22 offered and c eelincd the ap-
pointment when Dr. Brown left the ofii‘ce,
so that it might go to Crosby, for whoiifthere
was, at the time, a wide—spread feeling of
_il 1'.
: sympadly on account of domestic misfortunes.
"Civil S :rvies Reform" comprised a plank
in the Democratic platform of Connecticut,
er. neiated last week. A few Democrats

States, have had a chance to see it practically
illustrated by the Democratic—House.
day its new and incompetent clerks were an-
able to read the journal of the previous day’s
proceedings, not having. it written up as the
law requires. They have removed every
competent clerk, and sweeper, even the old
restaurant keeperand “Aunt Polly" who took
charge of the ladies wash-room, have all had
to give place to ex-Confederates. When a
New Ilamdshire Democrat complained that
the “rebels of the South” got all the places,
one imperiously assorted there was no hard-
ship iu that. That: the Yankee Democrat
knew how to get his living at home, but a.
Southern Democrat couldn’t, and must have
an office or starve. - “There was borer a finer
hit of irony than the rebuke our Connecticut
Democrats have adlninistercil'i't'.‘ their Con-_
,gressional allies on the subject of Civil Scr-
vécc. The Post-oliice committee of the House
has for its clerk, a vagabond, discharged by
the P, 0. Department because of intemper-
nncc, and who was caught
Chicago post-office. The “'ilkcs Booth
liambleton case is still fresh in the public
memory. A still fresher case, now exciting
and disgusting all decent men in Congress,
is that of the clerk of Lamar’s Pacific Rail-
road committee, and who also acts as clerk
for the committee on Revoliltionary Pensions
which is obliged to occupy the room of the
fitnilroad committee. The formidable cogno-
men of this new bully claimant for public
contempt, is Lucius Quintius Curtius Wash‘
iugtonzu' A few days since Representative
Martin J. Townsend, of the Troy, N. Y. dis-
trict, an aged, but exceedingly affable gen-
tleman, and sgrying on the Revolutionary
Pensio Icomrni‘ttee,twent to the room of that
committee with some. ladyfriends to show
them the view of the Potomac from the win-
dows; when the clerk, who is also the. cones
p. mt of a prominent Democratic paper,
orderedhim out. Townsend protested that
had as much right there as the clerk for
whose appointment he had voted. The re-
ply‘cf the clerk (was : " You may come he e
when the committee is in session, but not any
other time. You’re a damned old rascal."
Tsir.‘TOrvnsénd reported the matter. to the
committee and declined'to abt while the man
is retained as clerk, and there has not been
any meeting of that committee since the (115‘
graceful occurrence, as the Republicans on
the committee, sympathizing with Mr. Town-
send,rhavc refused to attend, and so no quo-
rum can be convened.
-. "'id at once dismiss the insolclet
.t had in; the power, but the. clerk is the
appointee of Lamar who declines to remove
his“. The cause of the insult was Mr. Town-
,-cn:_l’s speech on Amnesty. If some action
is not taken by Lamar’s committee Mr.
Tsimscnd will report the. matter tothe 1101150.
The clerk was formerly in the employ of the
State department of the Southern Confeder—
acy. -
The House Committce on Invalid Pensions
has discharged its clerk, a badly wounded
Union soldier, to make place for an ‘ex-rebcl
Democrat. On amount of a. secret investi-
gation, for political purposes, the committee

The “same result, has 'thus far followed
their secret examinations with all the depart-
ments. Eighty-two Dollars misspent in Con-
necticut, by the Postmaster General in a dis-
bursement of over thirty millions, and that
sworn to by a man so intoxicated at the time
that no police court would have taken his tes.
timony. - '
This condition of things in the way of
“Civil Service” in the democratic House is
the result of no accident. Accidents do not
so frequently repeat themselves. It discloses
the settled purposes and course of action
the democratic party, and it is an open dis-
grace to the people and public service of the
nation, and only the hopeful sign about it is that
a few decent northern democrats join in con-
demning the folly and madness of such parti-
zan action.
The 22d was quite a holiday here, but at
that staid and finished town Alexandria, it
wasa perfect gala. day. The military, fire-
m‘en, and fantastics made a. seven mile pro-
cession, and the old town seemed to have had
snow awakening. It is charged that while
the displny’of stars and stripes was almost
universal the. residence of Mr. Hflgh Latham
of the House Post-office, was decorated with
pictures of Stonewall Jackson and Gen. Lee,
surrounded by wreaths of evergreen. Not a
sign of the National colors, under which Mr.
“n reluctantly works. and diligently
draws his pay, was visible. ~-
'l‘he inauguration of Prof. D. C. Gilman as
President of the J olln Hopkins University
took place the same day in Baltimore, at the
Academy of Music, which was packed from
the orchestra. circle to the Upper gallery.
Gov. John Lee Carroll presided. Senator
English and quite a'number of distinguished
persons went over from llClC to attend the
c remouiesn _ . ,
A strenuous effort is being made in the
House for the repeal of the Resumption Act.
It will not be done however, without the en-'
'actmcnt of some other measure more practi-
callypromising specie resumption. Our Mr.
Barnum is at. work at. a bill, which, whether
adoptedby his committee or not, will evince
a practical business man's ideas. Mr. Bar-
num has been very greatly underrated in his
abilities. We very seriously doubt, if in prac-
tical,'busincss sagacity, he has a superior in
the House. Many who know him better than
the every-day wisdom that wins success in
business affairs. . -
The Supreme Court of the United States
will adjourn Wednesday, for a couplg of
weeks, in order to enable the judges to bring
up the business that has accumulated. The
pressure of business on theCourt was never
greater than at present. A private note from
Hon. Truman Smith, Of Conn., states be ex-
pects to be here again before the Court, dur-
ing the present session. It will be remem-
bered that at the age of 84, be last winter
tried and'won a very important _case before
this Court. ' ‘ - '
Gen. Fremont has appeared before a. sub-
committee of the Judiciary Committee of the
House of Representatives, and has given _his
account of his connection with the “Trans-
continental Railroad Company.” He knew
of no money being used to brihglembe'rs of
Congress to pass the bill. As t6 swindling of
the French by the Memphis and. El Paso
bonds he said that the mischief was done by
M. Pomdis, who offered the bonds in Paris
under the false announcement that they were
guaranteed by the United States. Meeting
the General the other day, he at once fell to
conversing on the bject of the first Repub-
lican campaign , e' influential part our
‘Senator Ferry bore m that most remarkable
canvass. One incident was new to him. The
speech delivered by, Mr. Ferry beforé the
Convention, when th American were strug-
gling for George Law and the then nearly or-
ganized Republican party for Fremont. The
balloting had extended far into the night
'without result, when Ferry sprang to hisfeet
and in one of those. outbursts of. magnetic or-
atory, for which he' was so noted, swept the
Convention and secured the nomination of
planse. His peoration is always brought to
mind by the fresco painting of "Westward
Ho,” on the wall of the west grand stair-ease
of the House, and where a pioneer is unfurl-
ing the Old flag on the pinnacle of the Rocky
nearly as we can now recall them:—
“The man who had the genius, and forti-
plant the American standard there, is the fit
champioir to lead this young,"»but giant Re-
publican pnrty on to victory.’_’. '
This incident, and the return here of La.-
rnar, who served with'AFerry on the Commit-
tee of Thirty-three, at the time the Southern
enator always maintained a specially warm
and generous personal-,regardj—has made pc-
cnliarly interesting a'gburried private note
from him to ourselves,-written in response to
a letter we had sent advising an unyielding
firmness for the integrity of the Union, and
which we by nlerest accident picked out of a
mass of old letters_ only a short time since.

“ God bless you Bylngton. Your letter
comes like dew upon the thirsty round. It
is absolutely awful tobe here an, meet these
tremendous responsibilities face to face; to.

serve .the Government.” 0. S. Fanny.

the past week. Mr. Hoyt is still after Secre-
tary Bristow in, regard to a better protection
of bonded securities from burglarious raid-
ers. Arthur H. Bissell and wife were pro-
pounded today for admission to membership

If any of the readers Of the GAZETTE, know
of _any portrait or likeness of the. late John
Fitch, who first applied steam to propelling a
boat in' this country, he will oblige us. by
sending information Of it: or if~ he can ob-
tain the likeness or portrait he will please send
it to Mr. Edward Clark, architect of the Cap-
tol, that the portrait may be copied on one of
the panels of the Senate, and the features be
preserved to future generations of thebriginal
steam boat man of America. It is Mr. Clerk’s
design to have the portrait painted above the
door of (the Senate Committee Room on Pat-
ents, in company with Fulton. John Fitch
having so many, descendants in and about
Norwalk, it is hoped some likeness of him
may be founl to copy from.’ If so, notice
sent here or left at the GAZETTE office, will
be gladly acknowledged.

The Concert given by the choir of the Con-
gregational, church, South Norwalk, on Fri-
day evening last, under direction of Mr. D.
E. Disbrow, passed Off verypleasantly. The
attendance was fair, but not so large as we
expected to see, which was undoubtedly ow-
ing to the religious meetings at the other
churches. . The first part consisted 'of Bor-'
niedby the organ and Punzelt’s orchestra.
The second part comprised miscellaneous se-
lections. ‘ Miss Grace Perkins, the Misses
Pennell and the Pennell Brother's sang the so-
los and quartettes inn very pleasing man-
ner,and the chorulse's were also well rendered,
the choir numbering about tvventy' voices.
Altogether it was every enjoyable concert.
Miss Ross D’Erina gave two entertain-
ments at the Opera House on Friday and Sat-
urday evenings Just. This lady bass fine per.
sonal appearance, dresses elegantly, has a
rich and powerful voice under thorough con-
trol, and sings with much expression. ' She
accompanies herself 'in a skilful manner upon
the piano and organ. Saturday evening she
gave a lecture upon the “Music of Many
Lands," introducing selections from the
French, Spanish, Italian, English, Irish, 850.,
ment. Sunday evening she gave sacred‘on-
cert in St. Mary’s church.
Rev. J. W. Coleman, formerly pastor of
the Presbyterian church of Darien, has been
invited to become pastor of the First Presby-

Coleman washighly esteemed during his pas-

Closing his labors at the, latter place about
one year since, he spent the summer at Sara-
toga, where we enjoyed frequent converse
with him, and had opportunity to become ac-
quainted with his many social qualities _and
his earnest devotion to work of the ministry.

particularly edified until a. report was pre-

Clerk was asked by the reader to refer to the
records, that the “extracts” quoted by the
Committee might be verified by him, which
was done.
Proceeding with carefulness, giving day,
date and page, when “extracts fpm the
minutes" were made, the reading was con-
tinued, every moment fame of painful sus.
pense, not knowing what was to come. The
end of the report was reached and the recom-
mend of the Committee made:
The report was accepted, but as I under-
stand it, was not acted upon. It would ap-
pear that legislation has been made‘ careless-'
ly, and thus was the four years efforts almost
a nullity. , -
But enough; it is aconsolation to know
,that in the present Board of Councilmen,
there are men capable of revealing such de-

‘ BREATHING.—-Tlle habit, so common. of
breathing through the month has many dis-
advantages. In this way a great volume of
air is quickly taken in, lohded with dust, ma-
larious or contagious impurities, etc., of which
we are utterly unconscious, until the blood
has been poisoned, and serious, and perhaps
fatal, dise been inaugurated. The cold air
being taken in, in great volume, and with
great rapidity, chills the lungs, whereas, if
breathed through the nose, it would be
warmed before reaching the lungs.

it' “via Brindisi,” and dispatched the, same

~ 7A Cause or Porsoxrxo EerernD.—The
Worcester (Mass) Spy of Wednesday says :
—,-“Several members of a family in this city
recently found themselves troubled yvith red
bpots and blotches on their bodies, the disease
appearing somewhat like ivy ,ison. Not
understanding thecause, the famrly physician
was consulted, and he suggested that it
might be the result of the careless use of
copper utensils in cooking food, 'and was
clearlycf opinion that it was due to porson
in some form. Further investigation devel-
oped the fact that the servant girl, in her
ignoranCe, had been using from the hot
water faucet for making tea and coffee, boil-
ing potatoes, and, in short, for all cooking
purposes. This at once furnished a solution
of the problem. The hot water in this case,
as in nearly all cases where hot water comes
from the pipes, is dmwnfrom a large copper
boiler, which, by its situation. in respect to
the pipe, can never be thoroughly cleaned
out, and in course of time collects sufficient
impurities from the water and particles of
the copper to render it poisonous for all use
for drinking or in cooking. It is further
rendered noxious by its passage through lead
pipes, and by its never be'mg fresh, as
"is the cold water, which usually comes direct
from the street main. It \vould not be sur-
”prising if many cases of sickness in this .and
other cities could be traced directly to the
cause we have indicated above, and house—
keepers should watch their domestics vrgl-
lantlyto see that only the water from the
cold-water pipes is used in any part of cook-
ing for the family.” -

Carl Schurz says in his letter to this paper:
—“A spectacle of helplessness more melan-
choly than the democratic majority In the
house Of representatives now offers can
scarcely be found in the history of parties.
What great things were prophesied when
this party should get into its hands even a
part of the power of government! And
now the possession of_ this power in the house
of representatives has only afforded. a; new
opportunity for one moral overthrow after
another, until the best heads. of the party
curse their victory in the year 1874, because
it has only brought their impotence to light
and inspired their antagonists with new vital-
ity. And yet you see the machine mana ers
busy at work, not to carry through the 1;"
ination of one of theifbest men for President,
but that some one ‘who entirely represents the
mots of substance and principle in the part ,
in order that this way they may keep the o (1
concern somehow together.”

ACllincsc doctor says that Americans boil
tea, and therefore lose the flavor, while the
Chinese make it by infusion. They place a
small quantity of the leaves in a bowl, pour
boiling water Irpon it and then cover the bowl.
Tire strength of the tea depends on the time
the tea is allowed'to draw. “And,” said the
speaker, “when making an infusion do (not
boil the water hastily at. first. Milk or sugar
should never be used with tea.”

Cossalrrrlvns, Tam: Norton—Every moment

depends on the judicious choice of a remedy. The
amount of tcstlm'ony in favor of Dr. Schenck’s

Almanac, containing the certificates of many per-

restored to health, alter being pronounced incura-
ble by physicians of acknowledged ability.
Schcnclt’s Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many,
as these evidences will show‘: but the cure is often
promoted by the employment of two other reme-
dies wlIichDr. Scllcuck provides for the purpose.
These additional remedies are Sent-Deb‘s Goa \chl
