EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, May 28, 1876.
Dana Gazsrrs :——-The Senate has continu-
ed its consideration of the Belknap jurisdic-
tion question throughout the week. There
was a resolution carried late last evening, on
motion of Senator Edmonds, to come to 9
vote Monday p. m. This Was carried by- so
small a majority that the issue may be post-
poued to Wednesday, although the Senators
announce themselves heartily wearied of the
Our Mr. Eaton made a
short but forcible argument against the Sen-
ate‘s right to jurisdiction, and significantly
warned some of his fellow Senators of the
their friends in, in case such aprecedent were
established. He took the position, a good
one it was deemed, that by the constitutional
law, "‘ treason was a crime,” and the mere
congressional pardon or abrOgation of politi—
cal disabiliticsnvould not exempt any mother’s
' son of them frOln being arraigned for inl-
peaclunentjf their treason were coupled with
office holding. The more the question is de-
bated the more its importance and magni—
tude are made apparent. It is now thought
the Senate will avow its right of jurisdiction
by from two to three majority. Senator
Barnum has avowed his intention of declin-
illg to vote on thequestion because of his not ‘
having been a member of that body at the
time of the trial. Werehc to vote he would
vote against the Senate‘s right to try the fall—

take it upon themselves to lecture their dem-'
ocratic friends in- the. Senate most roundly,

rics in both~the diplomatic and home civil
service bills. They had engineered in the '
House, a very beautifulscheme for the em-
barrassment of the Government at home and
abroad, by not appropriating pay enough to
secure the accomplishment of its imperative
requirements, and arcin a hut! because their
party Senators will not aid thcmpin their
dirty work. . ,
The House has settled down one dead-lock
on the Diplomatic and Consular Appropriai
tion Bill. Either the Senate or House must
give way. The same fate awaits the Sundry
Civil Service Bill. If this childishness, or
rather downright wickedness, is persisted in
by the House, Congress cannot adjourn be-
fore August, and the public service must suf-
fer irreparable injury. , '
The star-chamber investigations of the
House are being pushed with such indecency
as to challenge the severest reprobation of

take of I refusing his just and reasonable re—

vate bank account befOre the lady became

the public printer in afesrful may of char-
ges, but have just been brought to their sen-
ses by the opinion of about all the members
of the judiciary committee, that Mr. C. is an
ofiicer of the Senate and the House has noth-
ing to do with him. The question is being
seriously considered whether there is any
limit to the arbitrary rights now being assum-
ed by these House committees.
A very comical scene occurred before the
Naval Committee while examining a witness
ted by the democratic chairman as to whether
he had had ever contributed any money for
electidn purposes. Swift, the witness, beg—
ged not to have the question- pressed, as he
preferred not to expose his purely private af-
fairs. But the democrats thought they had
him in a bag, and now was their chance to
smirch Robeson and the Republican party!
80 the witness was squeezed to answer. But,
horror; What an unexpected result! The
kick back was worse even than that from
Bristow's males. The witness 'reluctantly
confessed he had. " When, and to whom i”
came the inexorable questions. “ Well,”
said Swift. “I paid $10,000 to Elect James Bu-
chanan.” The Committee were surprised and
bewildered at the response, but still thought
they had the witness, and insisted he should
tell any other cases. “ I paid $500 toward
Gov. 'i'ilden’s election in New 'York; $500
to the. democrats in New Hampshire, last
spring, and $500 to Gov. English’s campaign
in Connecticut.” He said he had always been
a democrat, his father had been before him,
and he expected to. always remain a demo-
crat. It is needless to add, the witness was
after this- plied with an 'entirely different
set of interrogatories.
Emnf, poor Fitzhughl “ He was another
victim of misplaced confidence,” said a dem-
ocratic congressman in our hearing, “ we
could forgive him for his arson and perjury,
but not for being such a dL—d tool as to write

The Fourth of July!
Pres. Grant has issued a proclamation cal-
ling attention to the Resolution of Congress
in regard to a proper celebration of the cen-
tennial anniversary, and recommending the
people to celebrate the day in accordance
with its spirit: The State Legislature is also
talking up the matter. So far Norwalk has
done nothing towards arranging for any
celebration whatever.’ Danbury has taken
the lead and is getting up‘a jubilee which the
entire county can enjoy. There is no feeling
of rivalry here, whatever, and our people
apparently do not care to divide the honors
with her. But while a large part of our
community will be willing to join with our
Danbury friends in celebrating the day, there
is still a feeling that old Norwalk ought not
to allow the Centennial Anniversary of our
Nation’s Independence to pass without some
recognition. It has been pr0posed, therefore,
and we think the proposal will meet with
general favor,—to dispense . with the usual
day .observances,—the hot street parade,
spread-eagle oration, dinner, &c.,——and ‘in the
cool of the evening to assemble on the pub—
lic green "and enjoy a brilliant display of fire-
works. Wc understand that at our last 4th
Of July celebration the committee had quite
a respectable sum of money left over—aston-
ishing as such it statement may seem. It is
proposed to take this amount, and add to it
enough to pay for a good display. A meet-
ing of citizens is called for Friday evening,
to talk over the matter, and it is hoped that
the meeting will be wclLattcnded.

BY OUR LOCAL REPORTER.
The Council meeting, Monday evening,
was a fizzle. The dampatmospherewet the
ardor of a sufficient nuiiiber to. prevent their
being present to make a quorum, so an ad-
journment was had until the 29th instant.
The news from the Legislature has caused
7 some little uneasiness. It appears that the
amendments to the’ City Charter hachbeen
presented, and if printed before they are acted
upon by that body, the expense must be
borne,by the city whether the act passes or
not. -
Messrs. Ash St Hancock have nearly com-
pleted the changes and repairs to the factory

the engine and motive power.
' ' There was a good attendance at the meet-
illg of the Ladies Temperance Union, Friday
evening, in the Temple of Honor Hall.~ To
many of the city residents it was new, but‘
they are now convinced that what Rev. Mr.
Hamilton there asserted, ‘is true. The great
work of temperance reform has been for the
ladies to do, and your christian workers need
not be ashamed of their success. Accom.
panving the ladies were the Brothers of the
Temple of Honor residing in thc‘Borougll,
and Messrs. . Swan, Harlem, Hodge and
others. The meeting was so interesting, that
the ladies have yielded to a pressing invita-
tion, and are to hold another meeting to form
a “Union," at the same place, on Friday
evening next, at half-past seyen o’clock.

Joseph W. Wilson petitioned for a grade
for curb, gutter and walk on lower end of
Camp street. Referred to Highway Com-
mittee with power to establish grade.
Remonstrance presented from Messrs. E.
K. Lockwood, Michael Murray, S. E. Olm.
stead, J. Bagan and other property OWDCI‘S' on
Franklin avenue, against the order requiring
flag or concrete walks to be laid on westerly
side of said Avenue. Referred to Committee
on Highways. ' ‘
Highway Committee recommended that an
order be issued for the laying of curbs and
gutters, and also the making of a gravel or
concrete walk on the northerly side of Beatty
street. Adopted and ordered to be 'done by
the first of July. - Burgess Price was also an-
thorized to have a proper railing pllt up on
southerly side of said street.
The question of awarding the contract for
lighting and caring for the street lamps for
the ensuing year was then taken up and elicit-
ed warm discussion, the Lamp and Gas Com-
mittee being desirous of rejecting all bids
offered and of contracting with the present
incumbent, Mr. Cotter, at $50 per month,
feeling as they did that he had fully and
faithfully performed all _that was required of
him the last year, and it being as little in their
opinion as it could or ought to be done by
any responsible person, they thought it to be
for Ithe best interest of the Borough to re-
cmploy him. On the other hand it was
claimed that equally competent and respon-
sible men had in good faith, in answer to the
order calling for proposals, made bids at
much less figures, to do the same work, and
therefore in common justice to all, the Board
should award the contract to the lowest bid-
der, thus saving at least 951% a year to the
Borough, Upon a motion to reject‘all bids
received, the vote was a tie, and the Warden
ca'stin'gr his vote in the negative, the motion
was lost. After another lengthy discussion
it was voted to award the contract to Stephen
Hodge, at $40 per month, he to give bonds
in the sum of $300 for the faithful perform-
ance of the duty, &c.
Request made from the night police that

IJefl'iDavis and B. F. Butler.
- The fact that Benjamin F. Butler is still
alive, is the best evidence in the world that
Jeff Davis hainn his time experienced dis-
appointment in some of his ambitious aspira-
tions. When he was President of the South-
ern Confederacy, he issued a proclamation,
from which the folloWing' is an extract:
I pronounce and declare Benjamin F. But-
ler to be a felon deserving of capital punish-
ment. I do order that he be no longer con—
sideredor treated as a public enemy of the
Confederate States of America, but ‘as an out-
law and common enemy of mankind; and
that, in the event of his capture, the ofiiccr
in command of the capturing force, do cause
him to be immediately accented by Imaging.
And I do further 'order that no commanding
ofiiccr of the United States taken captive
shall be paroled before exchange until the
said Butler shall have met with due punisll_
ment for his crimes. That all commanding
officer-sin the command of said 13. F. Butler
are declared not entitled to be considered as
soldiers engaged in honorable warfare, but
as robbers and criminals deserving death,
and that they and each of them ,be, when-
ever captured, reserved for execution.
I It is unfortunate for Jeff that B. F. But-
leris not now in Congress, to aid in securing
.amnesty for the proscribed err-Confederate

Rnnubvis the most effective medicine I have
ever used ln my practice, for Dropsy and Kidney
Diseases. I can safely say lIUNT'S Rum-21w has
almost raised the dead.
To all, particularly invalids, spring is :1. try-
ing season. Indications of sickness should at
once be attended to. Fatal diseases may be
caused by allowing the bowels to become con-
stipated, and the system to remain in a dis-
ordered condition, until the disorder has time
to develop itself. An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure, is‘an old and. truth-
ful saying. Therefore, we advise all who are
troubled with the complaints now very prev-
alent—headache, indigestion, disordered liver,
want of appetite, nausea,‘or feverish. skin, to
take, without delay, Schenck's Mandrake
Pills. \Ve know of no remedy so harmless
and decisive in its action. It at once strikes
at the root of the disease and produces a
healthy tone to tho-system. People never
need suffer from any disease arising from a
disordered condition of the liver if they would
take this excellent medicine when they feel
the first indications of the malady. Families
léaving home for the summer months should
take three or four boxes of these pills with
them. They have ‘an almost instantaneous
effect. They will relieve the patient of head-
ache in one or two hours, and will rapidly
cleanse the liver of surrounding bilo, dad will
effectually prevent a bilious attack. They
.are sold by all druggists. ' 4:18
