Hwflk ‘Grazettg: Tuesday, April 25th, 1870. nv-__‘_ EDITORIAL LETTER. WASHING—TON, April 23d, 1876. Dani: Gazms :——Tbe sad inauguration of the Belknap impeachment trial opened on . Monday, but anadjournment-was necessitated to‘afford'the House managers opportunity for - reply to thedielknsp-plea that" “ at the‘tinlc, n and before any action ‘was ttikell' in the case by the House of Representatives, Wn‘. W. Belknap was and is a private citizen of the" state of Iowa, and not amenable to the sum- nlons issued by said House," &c. Wednes- day the impeachment court again convened, in the Senate, when the House trial commit- fee made issue that the crime alleged against ‘ the ex-Secretary of War was Well and prop- erly taken. Hon. Mat. Carpenter then re- quested a further delay, that his client might make replication to the House committee’s second averment of jurisdiction. The Senate voted to adjourn and re-open the case again this week and continue it finally. The dis- graced ex-Secretary was accompan'ei on each occasion by his counsel, Messrs. Carpenter,‘ Montgomery Blair, and Judge Jerry Black. The galleries were densely packed—mostly by ladies—who app: rently tooka most unseemly satisfaction in staring at the dishonored ofii- cial. nap each day and shook him by the hand with evident cordiality, nevertheless-be most p linfully exhibited his sense of degredation. The managers have subpenred Mrfi and Mrs. Marsh to be present during the week, from which it is conjectured that Belknap’s plea willbeset aside, and the trial proceed to_a conclusion. ' ‘ The special sensation of the past-week was the judicious issue of the secret testimony taken before Caulfleld’s committee investiga- ting the _ expenditures of. the Department of Justice. By this cunning leakagc'of garbled portions of the testimony a real and genuine sensation was indulged in fora whole day and night. The virtuous democrats on that committee dealt only in the most ominous winks, nods, and inuendoes, saying only “that we’ve got him at last." “ We [mew it was so, and now ~we havc.struck him." “Struck. who P" every one in breathless horror and startl uriosity inquired. “Got Grant," was the swift and chuckling rc- sponsc. Just enough testimony was garbled and perverted to convey the impression that the President had arbitrarily and despite the protestations of the Attorney General com- pelled a payment of over thirty thousand dollars to “little Johnny Davenport” of New York, to enable him to carry the election of New York city in Grant's interest at the time of his second election. The telegraph wires fairly crackled with the glad tidings sent forth to the democratic journals of the land. “Caught at last” was the glittering and joy- ful preface “to the astounding revelation which w. to paralyze every Republican throughout the nation with fear and ,horror. But there must of necessity bea reflux to such a high tide of exultation, and “little Johnny” was hand from. In fact in answer to summons, hurried here with more books and papers than five stalwart Africans could carry into the committee-room. “ Little Johnny," whatever else may besaid, has a level head. He at the outset assured the committee that he’v’Vas willing to makes clean breast of the whole dreadful charge. But he craved two favors. One- was that he might go ahead and tell his story through and then answer to any crossexamination the committee might desire._ After a long parley this point was conceded and pledged him. The next favor was that his testimony might' be given publicly, or if this could uot~be granted, that a copy might be furnished him. The room was cleared and after about an hour’s discussion it was finally agreed that the I testimony should be publicly given. ' For this concession we learn the country is mainly iu~ debted to Representatives Waite of Connecti- cut, and Conger of Michigan, both republican members of the committee. Nearly the first. interrogatory of the dignified chairman of the committee propounded to Davenport, was “Are you the pe known as little J’ohnny Davenport ?” The reply was much more civil than it deserved to have been, to so im- pertinent an inquiry. “ I don't know sir,” “You don‘t know,” rejoined Caulfield with _evident temper. “No, sir, I don’t know,»"rc- iterated the witness. “If you desire me to testify only to what I know I can answer in no other way. If you wish me to testify to what I suppose may the case, I do not hesi- ' fate to say, I sumac hat I am that person so called." . After considerable skirmishing of this sort, the chairman and witness finally got down to their work, the result of which, as~ far as it has progressed during the two hearings had, willbe to commend the action of President Grant in the matter in all that he did. Nor will this commendation be restricted to his partisan friends, but will be most heartily. approved by every honest democrat in the land. Davenport showed that for a long series of years the average number of natural- ized papers in any one year had not exceeded eight thousand up to 1868. That'tben one court (Judge Cordova’s) issued over my thousand. That under the democratic ring rule of New York, one gang of thirty repeat- ers registered above one hundred and fifty times. » That another gang of only eight men registered in nearly three hundred of the more than five hundred voting places in that city, created so numrouly for the special purpose of facilitating fraudulent voting. That in his work, he, as Supervisor'of Elec- tions created by’ U. S. law, had personally in. speeted the residences given in these false reg- istrations, and in one case som'eforty were registered for a shanty containing but one room 16x18. He made a mathematical meas- ure and calculation, and found it would have been impossible to have packed asmany dead men in the space. Over three hundred were located at a stone-yard, where there was no house at all.~ As his ofiicial action was re- stricted under U. S. law to the votes on Mem-' bers of Congress, in one voting. district'but thirty-sis: votes were cast for Congressman while three hundred and My votes were cast against Stewart L. Woodford, republicancan» didate for Governor, alone. The -ht_)nellt-_can--~ vass showed that'there were only about tliire ty entitled to vote in that precinct. At the last Presidential election he issued a little over twelve hundred warrants of arrests for these fictitious names corruptly registered; bllt only about forty put in an appearance,for the reason that on the morning of election the New York Tribune and Tim published the fact that warrants were in the hands of U. S. Marshals for the arrest of all parties il- legally attempting to vote. In addition to evidence of a like’ character to the above, Davenport presented a stack of over three hundred fraudulent naturalization papers, with the affidavits of the parties in whose names they had been filled out, stating that they had never presented themselves person- ally at court, as law required, and in most cases the parties confessed themselves not entitled to their papers or a vote. The committee begin to feel that they have caught a Tartar in Davenport, and would no doubtbe glad to drop him. 'cstcrday the democrats on the committee tried twice to dodge their agreement to let Davenport go on in his own way. But he comes t6 torment them again next Wednesday. Before closing his testimony yesterday, he quietly volun- teered the committee the information that he 'drew up the law under which he had acted, and caused its passage by Congress and was tolerably familiar with its provisions, and all that he or the President had done was in strict accordance with the law, 'and he ' had conclusively shown the committee the neces- an of suchalaw. ' . he House has at last passed one public measure. ' The poor Indian was on Friday by act of the House, transferred fromthe In- terior to the War Department.

It is whispered about in Democratic circles that there is an lmder current setting in quite strongly towards Senator English, of our State, as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency. The wire-pullers of _ the party say that the chances for Tildel'ure daily grow- ing more precarious, and they must have an Eastern democrat of established reputation to fallback upon, andno man they claim can so fully fill the bill as Gov. James E. English. He is right on the fintnnal question. Ilis war record favorable for the loyal vote, and his having voted for the abolition of slavery in this District and his high personal charac- ter likely to give him the votes of the Liberal Republicans. It is furtller stated that several members of the National Democratic Com- mittee strongly express their partiality for Mr. English. It is a; mast extraordinary and interesting combination of circumstances that gives to little Connecticut two men so prom- inently mentioned as the possible Presidential candidates of their respestive parties. The Senatorial question is. growing still more interesting here. Whatever the chances may-be lie between Senator English. and Mr. Barnum, it is evident the latter gentleman has the whole state so completely under contribu- tion to him , that not a single move can be made in the interest of Mr. Englishwithout 'Mr. Barntlm being instantly apprised; For instance," when a few days since the New Haven Register gave notice that all parties were expected to step aside for Mr. English and give him the election uncontested—the fact that copies of the Register with this arti- cle marked, was mailed to every democratic member elect of the Legislature was promptly telegraphed here to Mr. Barnum. Senator English went over to New York last week, as was stated to attend a meeting of Adams’ Ex- Hartford informed Mr. Barnum that Mr. E. was then holding a levee at the Hartford De- pot with his political friends. - Barnum is one of the sharpest and smartest business men in Congress and he is evidently conducting his Senatorial contest on strictly business princi: pies. tween the two rivals here, but no little acer- bity is exhibited over the alleged fact, that Governor Ingersoll has taken an active cham- pionship for Mr. English. - The President and Mrs. Grant left Friday for the Centennial grounds and were escorted through the Buildings by President Hawlcy.

For the Centennial. Mr. Wm. Youle had the handsome hearses he has built for the Centennial EXhibition, on show at his factory, Hoyt street, for a few days last week. They were viewed by a great number of our citizens, who were sur- prised and delighted at their ‘ beautiful and superb appearance, and the very fine workmanship displayed by our own home artisans. " One is a large city hearse, the other a small light hearse, built specially for country towns. The large hearse is what is called the Venetian style, the pattern entirely new, and designed especially for the Centennial;'the “Hogarth’ldine of beauty is, in a measure: adopted, in conjuctionnwith'aVenetian.order: of / architecture. The front and back are round. Much skill is noticeable in carrying out the design in the construction of the back. The mouldings on the side are very massive, tapering from the center of the body to the ends; on the mouldings are three gold bands running all around, which bring out the beauty of the design in a very bold manner; the cornice around the roof is after the same design ; the boot or dickey is an adaptation of the “Salisbury" boot, the back of which is brought up to sharp angles. The iron work on the hearse and running part is noticeable for its strength, fine lines and finish, the de- sign being carried out with great taste. . It is well painted and the gliding is well done. The trimmings are very elaborate, and of a new and most costly design; the trimming next the glass is fine black cloth lined with rich gray silk, edged with massive gold fringe of the finest make, the whole is beauti- fully relieved with gold cords. The plat- form on which the cofiin rests is of black' walnut, the sides are Italian walnut, French polished; the mountings on the platform are of the .Mediaival pattern, and gold plated; the platform has a most beautiful appearance. The lamps are the finest ever seen on a car- riage. Tire tlrnson the roof are also of a new pattern. The hearse as a whole is a splendid piece of workmanship. » . , The other one is called the Norwalk pat- 'tern. it is lnucll smaller titan the Venetian hearse; ill design it is an oval, with fine rich mouldings on the sides, with gold bands; it has a neat roundlback and front; the boot is very compact and graceful in all its lines. The trimmings arc of the some beautiful de- sign as the other hearse. The mountings on the platform are all gold-plated; as a whole, it is made and finished all through in the same creditable manner as the Venetian hearse. ' Mr. Youle deserves special praise for the neat and tasteful manner in which he puts his productions before the public gaze, relieving as he does in a great measure, the usual som- brcness of this necessary though mournful vehicle.

We are inclined to think the last statement correct. Mr. Mathews has been here to inspect the property, but it is evident that no sale has been consummated from the fact that no deeds have been offered for rec- ord. We can only trope that some gentleman will succeed in purchasing the place, and that it will be continued as a private resi- dence. ‘ ‘P.

The pond is an unmit- igated nuisance; ‘ Judging from the very full attendance during the latter part ‘of theweek of the club rooms and social gatherings, the injunc- tion so frequnently board within the various churches, “ Come ye out and beye separate from them,” has been forgotten. . Rev. Mr. Dunning made some very happy' allusions during his Sunday morning’s dis_ course. Speaking of men working in the Lor ’ vineyard, he said some can pray better th‘lg, some can learn better than‘ they can teach, some can practice better‘ than preach, ministers differed in the same way, some ministers excelled in seeing persons in the street”. We hope his dream will be fully realized: Thflnccting in the interest of the‘ city is now being held. Matters have accumulated, and notwithstanding the protests and effors to reformtbem, have remained until now the peopleubegin to see‘that a change is need- ed. But how to get at it_is the question. Capt. Hiram Bell is about to retire from his connection with Mr. Hilsdon, at the old market stand on Railroad. Place. No'lmcr- chant will be more missed.- He was always at‘ home and always pleasant. Charles Jennings has removed his family from Brooklyn, L. I., and has located at his father‘s house on West streets—a welcome’ac— eession to our city'rc‘sidents. . :NO arrest by thc'fpolice, no robbery, ‘no :nothing' buts dog fight, and that nuisance of Railroadpond. , Rev. J. 'M. Taylor, of the Baptist Taber- nacle, discoursed to a large audience, on Sun- day nigllt, on the subject of Baptism, from the text “ This is he that came by Water and Blood, even Jesus Christ” 1 John, 5 and 6. The service was closed after the baptism of one female and five male members of the church. ' ~ A closing episode at the Methodist church was most unfortunate, and will result in an arrest and law suit. A smile wits on almost cvery face at the expressions used by a good brother in prayer—theone accused was not alone smiling—all should have been settled without _a resort to fisticuffs. IS?

'. tax notices hypostal card, as" had been done , by the previous dollector fer the past two years, to each tax payer of the Borough; dis cussed and voted not to furnish such notices. A new petition was read from residents of , France street and, other, asking. that in' the proposed widening and altering of said street, . that the dwelling and buildings of Tru- man B. Dickerson -be removed from the small triangular space at the lower end 6f the street, believing as they did that they were on a por- tion of the old original highway. Received committee to report thereon at the next regu— lar meeting. . - . The report of the committee on highways open the first petition was then called up, when Gen. W. R. Smith arose and in behalf of Mr. W. B. E. Lockwood protested against the alteratifl as proposed by the committee, as not being substantial improvement and not going far enough. The street being 00- feet wide nearly its whole length, he could not see the propriety of leaving it at the lower end only 32 feet in Width, thereby making a fun- nel of the street. Mr. Hoyt also protested in behalf of Mrs. Chas. Hoyt and heirs. The subject was talked over for some time,tabled, afterwards called up, and on motion of Mr. Asa Smith, it was voted that the highway committee proceed and have the straighten- ing, widening and alteration made on France street and North Avenue as per map and re- port of said committee. _ Petition of S. E. Omstead asking for per- mission to erect a wooden store-house on ‘ his property on Mechanic street, for the purpose ’ of storing iron castings, etc., said building to be about 50 feet north of his foundry; also for permission to erect a smallbuilding 11x14 east of foundry on the river side, to be used for the making of wooden flasks, a coal shed, etc., be having taken down a barn and an old coal shed contigious thereto; permission was given for both on condition that be ould first obtain the written permission of ad- .jacent property owners. It was then voted that hereafter the Court of Burgesses‘ will not receive or entertain any propositions for the erection of- any frame-building within the fire,limits, until the party applying. has first procured the written consent of the adjacent property owners. . ' " Chas. G. .Street asked for a grade of Johnson street so that he could 'ercctla fence on his street line on grade. Decided that Court had no authority for making a grade for fence line.

Uhle to take down his sign- board extending over the Main street sidewalk in front of his store, it being adjudged dau- gerous. ' ' ' Voted that no license fee be required from the Jubilee Singers for their concert to be ' given on Sunday evening. . _ ' As the street cross-walks are often obstruct- ed by'the standing of teams across them, it was voted that ‘all hitching posts standing within twenty feet of any creasing on Main (and Wall street be removed within‘one week’s time, and the Clerk instructed to adv. in the Gamma a notice to property owners requir- ing them to remove said posts within said time. . The committee on sewers reported in favor of an 18 inch sewer on Eltu street and a 15 inch sewer on Franklin Avenue, the expense of which would be about $2,200 if vitrified pipe was used, and about $400 less if cement pipe were used. Action was deferred until next regular meeting. . Voted to pay Mr. Harvey Fitch, street con- tractor, the sum of $200, to apply upon his said contract. T. Morgan property report that he had had said sewer uncovered and found it filled up with debris of all sorts, bad it cleaned out and it was now in good order. Committee appointed to confer with Se- lectmen in regard to purchasing the broken stone for highway purposes, reported that they thought the expense of macadamizing the roads too much, as according to estimates which they had obtained it would cost about $10,000 per mile.
