DEAR Guerra :--What with investigations
1 asl, present and future; the New Hampshire
eliwtiou gone by, and the Connecticut elec-
tion to come,——we have been and are, at
"high tide” in the way of engrossing excite—
ments.
Mr. and Mrs. Marsh have been induced to
return here by the Attorney General’s prom—
ise of immunity, and again to testify both be-
fore the W'ar and Judiciary Committees of
the House, which latter has the impeacluncnt
matter before it. Nothing in the testimony
of either conflicts with the theory heretofore
given in this correspondence. Indeed, it
rather confirms than otherwise, our version
that. Gen. Belknap knew nothing whatcycr
about thc'privatc arrangement made between
his wife and Marsh, until it was broken to
him for the first time by Clymer’s committee
when summoned to appear before. it.
Furtherinvestigation of the Pendleton im-
plication puts that gchtleman in a greatly ag-
gravatcd‘ situation. It' has come out that
vhcn he collected the vast amount of money
from the government, for the Kentucky Cen-
tral railroad, that property did not belong to
those in whose name the collection was made
and the Supreme Court of the State has since
confirmed its ownership to other parties who
got not a cent of the one—half even, that Pen-
tilt-ton divided. Pcndleton swears, however,
that he never directly or indirectly paid any
part of this fifty per cent. retained by him, to
Mrs. Bowers, the present Mrs. Bclknap. The
impression is quite general that in this hehas
sworn falsely, and proved himself. the greater
swine, to screen and protect the honor of a
lady. ‘
There are still doubts as to whetherarticlcs
of impeachment can be sustained against
'lclknap, but there is opportunity to get at
the bottomfacts before the Criminal Court of
the District, where he is to be tried. Mean-
time there goes on a perfect saturnalia of in-
vcxtl'galicn. Robeson of the Navy, Jewell of
the P. 0. Department, the Land Office, the
Treasury, the State Department, Attorney
Generals, &c., &c.
That was a. beautiful result in the demo-
cratic attempt to investigate Bristow on the
mule claim, which he, as an attorney, collect-
cd for his clients. The democrats gave out to
the rcpoIters that they had the “ (lead wood"
on Bristow sure, and his prospects of being a
Presidential candidate were as effectually ru-
ined as were l’endletou’s. Their glee was of
short duration. That earnest, honest repub-
lican reformer, who carries the ten command-
ments in every. lineamcnt of his face, calmly
told the entire story, and the mules kicked
his accusers so terribly in the face that
the case was dropped by the investigating
committee as promptly as if it were a. hot
poker.
A good and true story about Bristow may
here be inserted. A prominent gentleman
was deprecating the chances of his being a
Presidential nominee, on the score that he
was a border-state man, and our experience
with Andrew Johnson should lead us to be
careful about trusting such men; said a re-
publican, who had always known Bristow,
“You will please note the difference between
the two men. Johnson was the associate of
J eff Davis, Toombs, etc, and always a dent-
ocrat and a leader among the demagogucs of
that part y. Bristow has always been a repub—
II‘I-(m, and when about to enter the Union
army and his wife’s father besought him not
to take sides against the South, and finally
threatened to disinherit his family, Bristow
swelling with loyal indignation, replied with
more Union spirit than piety perhaps, ‘Go to
h~—l with your property. I shall stand by
my country, and if need be, fight for it, till
its authority is felt and respected in every
part of the Republic.’ And he did, and
bravely and uuostentatiously he did [his duty
in the Union army, as he has and is doing
now;” . . .
The utter absurdity to which the investi-
gating business is being carried by ur oppo—
nents, is well illustrated by the 'fact that. they
have their cavesdroppcrs at nearly every pub-
lic man's kitchen window and key-holes, and
take up the wildest and sillicst rumors and
inventions of the malicious, or the mischiev‘
ous. Scores of persons have been subponzed
and brought on here, and paid ten cents per
~milc and $4 per day witness fees, who have
caused themselves to be summoned for no
other reason than to “beat" a visit to “'ash-
ington at public expense. A half-witted
- , school boy would exercise Inorc discretion in
ascertaining the credibility of witnesses, be-
Qre ofiiciall y summoning thcm here. The
result of this gross and inexcusable reckless-
masts that a deficiency of ' a hundred thou-
”Sand dolla’has been created in the conting-
;. ' fcut fund of the House, besides an equalor
“ larger ’sum actually paid out. Let us illus-
tc their madness and folly by rclatinga

at; southern Ohio that Senator Hitchcock of Ne-
3‘~""'braska had promised to procure a Post Tra- ‘
”Sigic‘rsllip to a Mr. Finley, Editor of the Omaha

1: Senate, in his pap 11', and that after Hitch-
. , cook’s election he aicated the editor and told
.J' him that Grant wouldn‘t let him, the Senator,
. , have it for less than $10,000. Any man

Finley evenedited'the Omaha Herald; that-
lhe Herald opposed him for Senator tin-ough-
out, and of course no one had ever solicited
him to procure a tradership. The lying wit-
, IIcSS could only ‘1‘cply that some other party,
equally unknown to everybody, had told him
.ithc ilstoxty. . This is but a single instance
among many, where this fraud has been prac.

- selves. '
-'Lct-us pause and consider for a moment
the actual condition of things here.
The business of the whole country- is para-
lyzed. livery interest is crippled. 'l‘hecyes
of the people for four‘long weary months,
have looked imploringly to Congress for aid.
Yet nothing is done. The great appropria-
tion bills necessary to the running of the gov_
eminent and which should have'passed the
first month of the session, and which would
give relief to thousands, not yet acted upon.
The tariff still untouched.- Thc finances in a
more 1 inextricablc muddle than when Con-
gress met in December. ‘ The mails come
loaded daily with letters to members of Con-
gress cntreating action on these great meas-
ures. The wires fairly groan with telegrams
izuploring action. Delegation after deleg. -
lion, embracing leading men of all parties,
come and go, but nothing can bring the ex-
Confederate mob in the American House of
Representatives to its senses. The Senate
meets and- adjourns over from day to day,
with no business from the I louse to not up-
on; and yet an ex-(Tonfederate officer from
North Carolina gets up in that body and la.-
ments the loss of an election in New Hamp-
shire ‘fi/‘orouly to the. success of. the democrat-

resolution into‘ the Confederate Congress, to
shoot down in cold blood such captives from
the Union armies as might through the for-
tunes of war fall into Confederate handr.
Yea. worse. even, with bravado confessing
that blood-hounds were used to lmnt down

influences, to pause and consider wellbefore
they give these mad-men further encourage-

freemen who love their. country more than
they loye party. .
The Washington Republican. of yesterday,
gives a tl‘ll‘lble array of unanswerable indict-
ments against the dominant party in the
House, than anything we have yet seen. It
hasfour solid columns devoted to recitals of
the individual cases. of actual want and star-
vation among the widows and orphans of such
Union soldiers as were employed in the print-
ing bureau of the Treasury. Twice has Sec-
retary Bristow been before the Appropriation
Committee and begged for the privilege of
11Sing money lying idle in the Treasury to pay
these two thousand operatives for much
needed work. But. as yet no heed has been
vtakefi'of his urgent requests, and scores and
hundreds of poor families tonight in this
Christian city are’ without a pound of ‘coal or
a morsel of food in their homes. Letius give
ken from an actual and reliable canvass among
the spf‘fermg employees:

“ I am the widow of a soldier who served
in the Union army throughout the war; died
in Washington this March. two years, with
disease contracted while in the army. He
was wounded twice while in the army. I am
entirely in a destitute condition, with one lit-
tlc girl with consumption, and my health Is
not very good. I am now In a suffering con-
dition; no money, fuel or food, and no way
to pay room rent, and no one to go to for sup-
port. I was put in the office at the meagre
sum of one dollar a (lay, and I was deprived
of that."

“My mother,” says a brave gii'l,- who writes
beautifully, “ is a widow, and .entirely .de-
pendent upon me for support. I have 8. Sister
who has been in delicate health for the past
four years, and for them I have had to pro:
vidc since .the war. . We lost three members
of our family in the late war,‘and that enti-
tles us to consideration. Tell the Congress-
men for me that if they knew what it was to
rant for bread and fire, this cold winter
weather, as we have to do, probably their
consciences would urge them to do some-
thing for us. We have not a bit. of coal in
the house, and no money to buy any with,
and unless Congress does something for thc
bureaus so the work will be resumed, we will
have to starve.”

begging.”

we have had nothing but dry bread to eat. I

“ I was left a widow about one year ago
and with 'a babe In my arms, almost without

me without means and almost without hope.
I trust the appeal of Widows and orphans to
Congress may touch them hearts.”
CHILDREN onm’o Iron BREAD.
“My husband served in the late war, and
was honorably discharged at the close. He
died since the war. I have two children and
myself to take care of. This morning I had
not five cents to buy a loaf of bread. Since.
the suspension «of the Bureau 111 children
have cried for (weed. I‘p‘l‘ay Go that Con-

\Vhile this wall for bread goes up to indig-
nant Heaven, the National Banks all over' the
land are clamoring for the continuance of
the accustomed exchange of their defaced
bills and mutilated currency, and Secretary
Bristow is unable to answer their just de-
mands. Ten minutes of time would suffice,
were the House in the mood, to set all these
starving employees again at bread—earning
work. ‘But it does not! It is possible that
the democratic and Confederate majority there
is as willing these families of Union sol-
diers starve in “lashington, as they were that
their fathers, brothers and husbands should

God, sitting high in the Heavens, heed the
cry of these widows and orphans of the Inca

, We had two very severe storms, last week,
beginning with snow and taming to" rain,
either of which was creditable as a line
tom, Considerable damage was caused by
first of last Tuesday, but ' that. of"’Saturdi1y
caused even larger freshets and resulted in
great disasters. In this immediate vicinity,
while much damage was caused to roads,
bridges, sewers, &e., the loss was compara-
lively small. ' All day Saturday the cold rain
came down in torrents and ran off in streams
without soaking into the ground, causing
great freshets. All of our sewers proved too
small for the emergency, and water backed
up over the streets and sidewalks-in many
places, making travel very difficult. The
river was higher than it has been for, several
years, but fortunately no dams, important
bridges, or buildings were carried away, and
the floods subsidcd‘rapidly, with little loss of
property. Roads in different parts of the
town were badly guliied, and the cost of re-
pairing will probably be quite large. Wall
street, West avenue, 'East avenue, Cross
street. Riverside avenue, were submerged in
places.
‘ Bark Mill brook was lively and the outlet
p‘ed much too small. The water set back
into the lots, flooding Morehouse‘s stables and
causing nmch anxiety and trouble.
At the Bridge the riVer rose so high and
rapidly as to cause much anxiety. Fortu-
nately the flood subsided without doing any
great amount of damage. A section of wall
in the rear of Bennett’s building gave way,
but the foundation wall of the building was
not undermined. Property owners here had
a lucky escape from serious disaster.
Water backed up into Mr. Lamb’s lot,
Main street, forming quite a lake, reminding
us of the old skating pond in days gone by.
In the Broad River District, the (flvert
on 'Rivcrside Avenue, near New Canaan
road was undermined and 'sank, making a
large hole about 12 feet in diameter and 5 to
6 feet deep, making travel very danger.
ous. "
The Culvert on the new road near Charles
Kellogg’s, leading to Silvermine, undermined
and choked up thereby, forming a large pond
the water from which penetrating the porous
embankment, washed away for a space of
about 20 feet wide and'5 to 6 feet deep, leav-
ing the Berough main ,water pipe suspended
in the air; forturfately‘ it did not give way,
but travel is wholly cut off' on this road; '
The culvert on the road leading to Com-
stock’s Ridge became clogged causing the
water to follow the highwayseveral rods to
the Silvermlne road washing nearly all the
oath off and making deep gutters its entire
length ; travel is quite hazardous by this
route. , - ~ .
James Burns, near New Bridge, 'had his
1151111 luck‘ou such occasions, the water tear-
ing away fences and removing about 1 foot
in depth 0f soil from his garden plot.
Henry F. Guthrie, also‘ partook of his
share by having a portion of his barnyard re-
moved into his pond.
'Iu th‘e‘city, the bridge on. Woodward Ave-
nue is nearly washed away and the walks in
different parts of the city were badly dam-
aged; the road leading up the hill by Gosling
brook, recently 'dug up to lay city water
pipes, was badly washed.
Down EastAvenue the bridge near Rufus
E. Raymond’s,at the head of Benedict’s Pond
is nearly ruiivd, so that it will, cost about
$250 to repair it. A little further up near
where the old School House used to stand, a
bad hole was washed out exposinga number of
human bones, the road here having been
put across, what, years ago, was a part of
the old town cemetery. . T .
In most of the above cases the damage can
be traced to poorly constructed culverts. The
great trouble throughout our town in making.
of culverts and sewers is, that they are all
made too small; it does not cost much more
while they are being made, to make large
ones, but our authorities seem to always fig-
ure to see how small they can be made and
answer the ordinary purposes of a culcht,
never making allowances for extra large
storms. We are satisfied that a very
large porportion of the Highway damages
every Spring is caused by having too small
culverts and sewers. We think it would be
far cheaper to make sewers and culverts
large enough to carry off any possible accu-
mulation of water.
Travel on the railroads was seriously inter-
rupted. Parties who left New ’ork at 5
o’clock p. m., did not reach South Norwalk
until after 2 ‘o’clock, a. m. The track was
undermined near the entrance at Woodlawn
cemetery, and a breach made about twenty
feet wide. A temporary bridge was finally
constructed and travel, resumed. A break
occurred at Clinton, in this State, delaying
Shore Line Road trifins half a day. or more.
The damage in the eastern part of the State
is estimated at several hundred thousand dol-
lars. All through New England, Railroads
havebccn damaged, mill dams and bridges
carried away, roads' gullied, cellars flooded,
&c. Seven lives are reported lost near -Nor-
wich. The damage in the vicinity of Wor-
cester is reported as high as $100,000 ; three
stone arch bridges were totally destroyed
among other things. .At Putnam, in .this
State, one street was gullied thirty feet deep
and fifteen wide. At Holhston, Mass, first
reports puts the damage at $300,000. On
Clear River, Rhode Island, the damn,
estimated at $200,000. I ‘ A

Full returns form New Hampshire show
that the republican triumph hnsbeen even
more complete than as first announced, Gov-
ernou Cheney’s majority over all was. 3,242.
The Council stands three republicans against
one'democrat, with no choice in the Third
District; and the Senate nine republicans
against three democrats. The prohibition
candidate polled exactly 380, votes. New
Hampshire points the way for Connecticut.
Our Candidate for Senator:
Speaking of Mr. SLJohn’s nomination the
Stamford Advocate says :—
“The choice of this gentleman is ri ht in
the line of excellent nominations whic has
been the policy of the party in the State tick-
et, and which characterizes a great many,
of the local nominations already made. He
is a man of good ability and sterling charac-
ter, who enjoys in an exceptional degree the
respect and confidence of his fellow citizens.
In New Canaan, which for some years has
been democratic, Mr. ,St.John was elected
last fall for town clerk by eighty 1najority~
a conclusive proof 'of his standing in the com-
munity where he is best known.”

DIAIL ROBBERY.
Thursday morning of last week Special
Agent B. K. Sharretts of the Post Office' De-
partment, arrested J amcs L. Benedict a young
son of Mr. Lewis B. Benedict, Mail Agent be.
tween our Post Office and the N. Y. & N. H.
Depot at South Norwalk, on the charge of
stealing letters and packets from the mails.
It appears that for a tinic, extending back to
last November, mail matter for many of the
offices on the Danbury & Norwalk Railfoad,
above the Norwalk office, has been missing.
Numerous complaints have been received at
the different post offices during this period,
of missing letters ' and packets and duly
lodged with the proper authorities. The evil
became so alarming in the office at Danbury
that oh Monday last Pestmaster Crosby vis-
ited New York and laid the matter personally
before Special Agent Sharretts, who soon
Satisfied himself that the peculation was com-
mitted on the Danbury road. The morning
of the arrest he caused a couple of decoy
packages to be placed in the mail pouch for
the Danbury route agent.’ On the arrival of
the mail train at South Norwalk this pouch
Was, asfis usual, quickly transferredlto the
Danbury mail car, when the rout t, as-
sisted by Benedict, commenced to separate
the mail matter for the different offices up
the road. Mr. Clark, the route agent, had
previously b'een informed of the suspicions
against Benedict and of the decoy packets,
and before the train left the depot he made
an excuse in order to get Benedict to leave
the mail car for a few moments, and then an
examination showed that the bait had taken,
as the packets in question‘were gone. Be-
fore the train reached the Bridge the Special
Agent with the Danbury Postmaster entered
the car, seized Benedict, and demanded the
stolen packages, which were immediately
produced accompanied with a denial of hav-
ing taken anything else. Benedict was taken
into Postmaster Olmstead’s office where his
person was searched, resulting in the discov-
cry of forty or fifty opengd letters, which had
been previously stolen. Ile confessed to
having at. his home other letters, together
with several articles of jewelry, clothing, &c.,
which were afterward secured, and will
whom they were originally intended, Bone;
diet was remanded to the custody of officer
Berwick who took him to New Haven where
he was brought before U. S. Commissioner
Platt, Assistant U; S. District Attorney
Trowb'ridge appearing for the Government.
He was committed without bail for e‘Xamina-
tion to-day, preliminary to a final trial. The
proof of his guilt is overwhelming, and pun:
ishment of from one to five years in Statgs
Prison must be'the result of his crinfe.
Benedict is a bright active young man, and
for a year or more has been assisting his
father in the Baggage Express business and
as Mail Messenger. Ilis custom was to take
locked pouches from our pogt office for the
N. H. road, and riding in the Danbury mail
0111', where he had been permitted to assist the
route agent in his duties and in this manner
gained access to the stolen mail matter—al-
ways performing his duties as an assistant to
his father promptly and satisfactorily, but.
temptation was too strong for him and he has
fallen, wringing with grief, confiding hearts.
.We are informed by Postmaster Olmstead
that there has been no opportunity for him to
tamper with mail matter at:his 0 cc, as his
duty was entirely with locked p _ es. He
may, and probably has been, unfaithful with
letters intrusted to him by outside parties for
mailing on the cars, but” no access was given
himto matt’nailed at the office.
Mr. Lewis B. Benedict, the father of the
young man, is faithfully serving as Mail
Messenger, and has the sympathy of the com-
munity here, where he is well known and re-
spected. ‘ ‘

It was also voted to reduce the pay of the

At the close of the war the state debt' was
$10,400,000. Under republican management
of state affairs this was reduced, so that in
1874, when the democrats for the first time
secured control of the legislature, the debt
'was reduced to $5,014,500. The report of
the first year of democratic rule showed that
the debt was not reduced one cent, while the
expenditures of the state government exceed-
ed the receipts nearly $100,000, which
amount was drawn from the amount on hand
in the treasury at the beginning of the year.

Republicans of Connecticut! You are call-
ed upon to say by your votes whether you de-
sire the national government to remain in the
hands of those who saved it from destruction,
and who are now determined to save from
corruption, or whether you desire to have it
turned over to a combination of northern dcmL'
ocrats and southern ex-rebels—to a combina-
tion of men, who while denouncin fraud in
others carefully conceal it or defén it among
themselves. It is led in Connecticut by the
Bill Eatons and the Barnums; In New Hamp-~
shire by the Marcys ;‘ in New York by the
Fernando Woods and Kelleys ; in Congress by
the Ben. Hills, Clymers and Schumakers. A
democratic success this spring will do very
much to assist these men in seizing control of
the national government: Isit not a duty to
work eamestly to avert such a catastrophe?
