Among the names of those likely to'
brought before the democratic congress-
lal nominating convention, we hear that of
’ 1'. Levi Warner of Norwalk, Gen. Taylor
South Norwalk, B. Q. Purdy and Wm. E.
lymond of New Canaan, Messrs. Sumner
1d Gould of Bridgeport, States Attorney
' mes H.- Olmstcsd, Judge Marsdeu, and ex-
nutor Carter, of Stamford, and Senator
uggerhof of Daricn. It is conceded that
m. N. E. Wheeler of Bridgeport, would
lily carry off-the prize did he desire 'to
:cccd Mr. Barnum, but that the‘business‘of

is not thought Bridgeport can secure the
urination on' account of going into the con-
. ution loaded with two other candidatés.
a same may bcsaid of Stamford, New Ca-
an’aud Norwalk. Mr. Raymond of New
.naan; our present capable State Treasurer,
‘ mid make ,a solid and substantial M. 0.;
t his neighbor Purdy, would be too active
rhim in securing the home delegates, and
both would belikely to be thrown out.
amford would give us a most industriods
‘d faithful Reprepresentative In Olmstead,
t with Carter and Marsden to sup the locr‘llT
lcgates, all would inevitably be thrown
, crboard. In Mr. Warner and Gen. Taylor
)rWslk would no doubt present the very
st timber the District can ofler. Gen.
lylor has already served as a war democrat
Congress, with credit to himself and with
-' tire acceptance to his then large New York
.«nstituency. Mr. Warner, tho’_ without leg-
' ative'expcrcnce, is industrious, capable and
ithful, and would soon work. into a very
, )pular Congressman. Either of these gen-
: men would eat less partisan dirt, probably,
anllny other dyed-in-the-wool candidates
at could be selected, but duality‘from any
two is likely to prove disastrous to both as-
;r. ,runts,andso we do not see but by the very
:nrce of circumstances, Senator Bruggerhof
:l' Daricn, is going to win the nomination.
"he desperate desire of the democracy to
.: )1d the; Liberal or Independent vote, now
- I rapidly escaping from them, will be a
wrong lever in the Senator's favor. The ma-
writy against the Republicans in this con.

9, as effective means used by Mr. Barnum that
. .lr friends may not realize the necessity of
_ utting in nomination their strongest man,
it they can make up their minds to one
ring and may as well’be advised Of the fact
. ow as at any time, that they are. not going

«.ruggle. The wealth, commercial position
and influence of this district, ought to ensure

One: of the most entertaining local events
fthe season, was the anniversary of the
.7th birth-day of our fellow townsman, T.
[. Morison, Esq., which was celebrated on
'hursday'evening last. His beautiful resi-

‘~lents of the larger cities. Indeed the

A couple of sneak thieves attempted a very
adroit mode of theft, at a house on Belden
Avenue, about 8 o'clock, Saturday night.
One of the scalnps went around to a side
door and knocked loudly. The lady of the
house chanced to. be up stairs and coming
down the front way to step to the rear door,
had to pass throagh the front ball, into
which the other man had just entered and
was actively at work clearing of! the hall-
wreck of coats, hats, &.c. On being thus
caught he departed instanter leaving his
booty and followed as quickly by the accom-
plicc, who was working to attract the family‘s
They were well dressed and sharp looking
fellows.

The Tilden banner raising at South Nor-
walk, last Wednesday night, was a complete
success, in a democratic point of view. Why
our friends should have selected the (night
and sought to elevate the sorry caricatures
intended as portraits of their candidates, af.
ter dark, is an interesting query, and has led
to various unfavorable conjectures. Perhaps
the artist who got up the banner was a Re-
publican, and on mischief bent, and so cm.
blamed on it that most ugly question, about
“ Slippery Sam's" income. But there was
music, and torch lights, and flags, and ban-
ners, and noisy street urchins, and a great
crowd, and much enthusiasm and much to
work up enthusiasm uncorked, and what else
is needed for a successful democratic meet-
ing. Gen. Taylor was chosen President, and
the usual long list of Vice-Presidents, previ-
ously prepared. Then the secretaries and
the “resolutions,” read by Mr. Frisby and
unam'mmub adopted. Then Mr. H. H. Bar-
bour oratcd eloquently and forcibly, and pro-
duced about the only outbursts of levity on
the occasion. Then Judge Marsden took a
turn at the crank, but falling, into a touch of
the “sweet Irish broguc,"—wllich the real
Patricks in attendance thought to be assumed
so he won only their indignation, (Judge
Marsdeu can step down and out as a congres-
sional candidate in this district.) The “Judge"
was followed by Mr. Levi Warner, who did
the best he could, as he always does when he
getspn the wrong side of the case. Then
Treasurer Wm. E. Raymond of New Canaan,
was brought to the stand to do the heavy
work. His oratory was of the most solid
kind. He sought to cheer his dismal rhetor-
ic by administering a dose of “soothing syr.
up" to his suffering auditors, and then got
his “oil" and perfumery all mixed up, agood
deal as is done at Tilden’s patent medicine
mill at New Lebanon. But when it came to
administering a rebuke to‘ his -demOcratic
hearers who held more than one ofiice‘, of
whom there were a number present, his head
got level and he “went for them," metaphor-
ically speaking, as lively as ever he did
when battling in the ranks of the Republi-
cans. But what on earth the fact that May-
or Daskam was serving on the Board of Re-
lief while also Warden, or that our neighbor
Hyattis at one time Supt. of the Horse
Railway, and Vice President of the Danbury
& Norwalk Railroad, and Selectman, and
Representative, and Bank Commissioner, or
Platt Price Selectman and Burgess, or John
Keene Burgess and Assessor, and Chas. W
Smith Selectman, City Councilman and Col-
lector, had to do with the “flag raising,” no
one but Raymond's fertile imagination could
divine. The orntor's sarcastic tilt at such
good democratic brethren as these, was most
untimely and Ought to be resented. But
then an elephant never can be sportive,
you know, without crushing his keeper's toes.
The flagging spirits of the “vast assemblage"
were revived on the conclusion of the Ray-
mond oration, by acordial invitation by the
President to step into their club room and
see how the thing was done, and then the ju-
bilant democracy voted themselves and South
Norwalk safe.
Senator Bruggcrhof received a cablegram
on Thursday, from his son who is now tray.
cling in the interior of Italy. Much anxiety
had been felt concerning the young gentle-
man, on account of the non-receipt of any
intelligence from him, but the dispatch an.
nouuces him to be all right, and the natural
parental anxieties are alloyed. '
Next week is Connecticut week at ‘the
Centennial. Our entire National Guard will
be there—horse, foot, and dragoons. Gov.
Ingersoll will be in his glory, and will review
the troops. The soldiers will parade, the
bands will play, Connecticut people will con-
gregate at the cottage, and if the weather is
pleasant all will enjoy themselves.

The clam bakes at Gregory's Point, and at
the Grove House, last Thursday, were very
successful. The day was all that could have
been desired. The fat men, we are glad to
say, chiefly from abroad,—-were as numerous
as ever, and the spectators more so, the space
around the Dorlon House being crowded
with vehicles and men, women and children.
The Howe Band played at the Point, and the
City Band at the Grove house. YOung Per-
kins, of Waterbury, the President, weighed
893lbs. and was the center of attraction.
Patrick Murphy, who finds pretty good
picking in Saugatuck, turned the scales at
803, and in reward for so doing was made
President for the ensuing year. As usual,
somebody must have made a good thing off
of the bake, but we never heard of any
money getting into the treasury of the
Association.
The fat men of Massachusetts also held a
clam bake on Thursday, which was attended
by about 1,000 persons. The heaviest man
weighed only 263 pounds. If Massachusetts
lnen want to compete with the original asso.
ciation they must commence to fat up.

THE 17TH RIB-UNION.
The veterans of the 17th Conn. Vols. held
their tenth annual re-union at Danbury. yes-
terday. The day was delightfully cool and
bright, and the “ boys of blue" seemingly
enjoyed themselves to the fullest measure.
Monte Bailey made the reception speech un-
der a large tent, which was full of good hits,
and proved him as good an orator as he is a
punster and story teller. The Wheeler and
Wilson Band furnished the music,_which is
all that need be said in that line. About 150
members of the old Fairfield county regiment
were present. Chas. E. Doty presided as
President of the Association. After the
opening speech by Bailey, President Doty
responded in behalf of the regiment, and
after the dinner, Gen. Noble, Col. “'hitc and
Dr. Peel were called out and responded in
happy after-dinner speeches. The tent was
pitched on the old White place in the rear of
the Library Building, on a high hill overlook.
ing the village. The Rev. S. K. Hersey of
the 2nd Congregational church, opened the
exercises with prayer. The ladies of Dan-
bury gave the boys a sumptuous dinner under
the Agriculturel' Society's mammoth tent
The boys charged on the tables as fiercely as
they did on the rebs at Gettysburg.
At the conclusion 'of the exercises at the
tent, the Band proceeded to the office of the
Danbury News, to serenade that. paper
“Our Tim” here from the grounds the. old
tattered and torn War flags of the Regiment.
Oncwas a silk standard presented by the
ladies of South Norwalk to Gapt. Fowler's
Company'snd which fiag has a history. The
other was the rich and heavy silk mounted
flag, given the regiment by its generous Nor-
walk patron, Le Grand Lockwood, deceased,
with also the state colors. These battle scar-
ed and bullet-riddled relics of the traitors re-
bellion, plead ' more eloquently than words
could do for the maintenance of the. princi-
ples for which this Regiment so bravely suf-
fered and fought. - ‘
The boys proved the old adage that “the
brave deserve the fair," for probably there
was one of the largest gathering of ladies this
yeaer ver before convened on a _ similar re-
union. - '
00. G. of the National Guard, did escort

'machinery. Already applications have been
made for power to run machinery for the
manufacture of boots, shoes, &c., and to run
Sewing Machines, fancy saws, drc. A stone
crusher willbe on exhibition, among other
articles of interest.
Our Schools.
The Center School opens Monday next
with a clean, building in thorough repair,
thanks to the energy of the committee.
There will be two changes in the corps of
teachers to fill the places of Mrs. Hubbell,
and Miss Brear resigned. The latter goes to
Bridgeport on a salary of $600 a year, and
both have our best wishes for their continued
success. Parents cannot better aid the use-
fulness of the school than by starting their
children aright on the first day, with the
determination to have them in their places
promptly and regularly. We learn measures
have been taken to secure perfect attendance
in all cases, when sickness or some other
equally good reason does not prevent it. If
rents knew how much their children were
injured and kept back by these irregularities,
they would not keep them out for trifies, but
would heartily unite with the teachers to
gain the end they desire. .
The Over River District School also com.
mences next Monday, with the old corps of
teachers. The remarks above will apply to
this school as well.
At Stamford.
At the Ball games yesterday the Norwalk
clubs had it all their own way. The Inde-
pendents played theGreenwich club in the
morning, scoring 85 to- 2. The Unions
played the Stamford club in. the afternoon,
and won,8 to 4. Tomorrow afternoon the
first of‘ the series of three games will be
played by the Independents and the Unions.
Thus the Silver Ball will come to Norwalk

Cutting down the number of clerks in the
Surgeon General's ofiiccrwill delay pension
cases some two years. The effect of this
democratic economy is thus detailed by the
Washington correspondent of the Hartford
Post. The reduction of clerks in the dc-
partments promise to work great hardship to
the applicants for pensions in 1875.. The
force of the pension division'of lhc‘ Suggetm
General's ofilcc was reduced 27, and during
the year 5,705 cases accumulated which could
not be attended to, out of a total of 20,332,
referred from the pension bureau. ~ In all ap-
plications for pensions, the case is referred to
until this history is returned. In the r’e’duc-
tion to be made,-_uudcr recent legislation the
force is further reduced thirty-four, and the
consequent accumulation of cases nuactcd
upon will be more than doubled in the year.
This will create a delay of nearly two years
in settling pensionnapplications. The cases
year before, and the number will be- greater
this year. ' . u ' - '

of the Boprd of Councilmen, on Monday

Councilmen are concerned, things are as
much mixed asicver, notwithstanding the
directions of the legal adviser. Motions and
resolutions are offered in regard of matters
not before or under the Control of the coun-
cil. Retrenchment and reform is the cry,
but a very poor plan is used to carry either
into practice. New rules and practices are
adopted which will prevent anything prac-
tically from being accomplished, except aud-
' ’iting and ordering paid, bills illegally. The

at the same time the other and same size

Wednesday, day and evening, was by far
the most exciting and auspicious. The handy
work of “George” and the influence Of that
mighty legal mind, was seen by all. 'Duriug
the day the “Music stand" of the city band
was “frescoed” with the American flags and
Chinese Tilden lanterns. During early even-
ing men were seen pecking around among the
seats and lamps, while George Norrisped the
fiowers with Whiteman aiding. ' At 9 minu-
tes before 8 o'clock, the nuterrificd from up-
country to the number’of Elli-filed around the
corner, while at the same time amid the
bursting of pop-guns and: ‘sky.rockets, the
“Tilden 85 Hendricks“ flag was unfurled
from Sword’s. buildings. The gathering to
hear the music had. increased to about 300,
many Republicans beingamong them. N.
J. Crew called the meeting to order, and
nominated N. ' Taylor as chairman, with 30
vice-presidents, including all the Town ofil-
cers and some Borough officials. Mr. Taylor
said he"- should not Occupy- the time, but
thanked them for the honor of being called
upon‘ to preside over such a vast assemblage
who had met to ratify the St. Louis nomin-
ation of Sammy J. Tilden, the greatest
statesman of the world, for President of the
United States. After the resolutions (long and
windy) were read, Mr. Barbour was intro-
duceduand in an hour'sfluent address, made
a very, sad impression upon most of his
hearers, by reason of his improbable and un-
reasonable assertions. Judge Marsde'n, 'of
Stamford was the next speaker, and was most
happy to stand among the Democracy of
Norwalk and Fair-field Co. He continued
his address in true democratic style and was
followed by Mr. Warner and State Treasurer
W. E. Raymond. ' _ _
Thursday dawned upon the city, marred
only by the debris which had been left after
the Democratic gathering In early morn.
George and his aids gleaned _‘ and carried to
their appropriate place,the Tilden club room,
all that was left of the "Wednesday evening's
show. The fragrant part, the flowers, had
been consigned to the care of Peck, the
druggist. .
The Stars and Stripes, the German and
Irish flags were all broilght into requisition
at the Flag raising. But the elevation of the
Irish flag above all the rest, while no more
perhaps than was due that class of our adopt-
ed citizens who have been made the hcwcrs
of wood and'drawers of water for the demo-
cratic party was nevertheless a piece of
fiunky demagogueism, for which even decent
Irish democrats didn’t thank them. When
these people left downtrodden Ireland, they
came here forahome for themselves and their
children and it is no pleasure to them to see
any fiag whatever, raised above that of their
new and adopted home. Pat is somtimes
queer, but not always a fool.

by Andrew Penfield of Bndgeport. It was
owned by Major John Tucker, of Fairficld,
an officer in the Continental army. A round
oak table, also 9. part of Major Tucker’s fur.
niture, derives additional interest because it
is a counterpart of a table which compnsed
part of Washington's furniture at Mount Ver-
non. Mr. Rogers, of New Fairficld, contrib—
utcd a chair over 200 years old, Mr. William
Johnson, of Bridgeport, an ancient screen, a
sconce with snuficrs and tray were purchased
of Mrs. Hudson of Bridgeport, and Mr. E.
A. Nash gave a pair of brass candlesticks and
a set of andirous. The most interesting part
of the collection is, however, a piano import-
cd from England in 1788, .by J ohu Jacob As-
tor, who was then a dealer in these instru-
meats. It is small in size, with a plain square
top, and small plain legs. Its general condi-
tion is rather rickety, the keys bein stained
and dingy, and the uncertain soun which
come from their touch “ out of tune and
harsh." The pianois mahogany and has draw-
ers on each side for music. The ladies pur-
chased the instrument of Mr. William Leigh.
The articles have been touched up‘ a little
and put in condition to bear the journey.
When set in place, Connecticut’s room will
be worthily furnished. The ladies of Bridge-
port deserves the thanks of the common-
wealth for their patriotic effort.

Having been interviewed. in Vermomt, Mr.
Bristow said; “ There is a good prospect of
some of the Southern States going republican.
They have 'a clear republican majority, if
their citizens are allowed to vote without in.
timidation, and whether they can do this
peaceably may depend u n the results of
elections in the Northern tates which vote
early.” Mr. Bristow, by the way, succeeded
in exasperating the Burlington democrats to
such an extent that they flung stones at his
carriage as he rode through the city. These
are democratic arguments.

democrats for having denounced the Ham-

the massacre as “ a horrible crime," and
courts repudiation from all those “ who wink
at such deeds asthe killing of unarmed and
defenceless negroes."_- Final] it describes
the massacre as follows: “ here was no
earthly doubt that the whites, without au-
thority, undertook to disarm a-body of color-
ed men, and that when the fight that ensued
was over, five of the captive negroes, unarm-
ed and defenceless, were killed in cold blood.
These facts stand uncontradicted to thlshour,
and upon these facts, and none other, we
based our denupciation of them."

Sunday afternoon the promenaders along
the shady walks on the “Green" saw a happy
sight. _ A near relative of one ‘of' Our carmen
amc driving the carman's horse with his tw 0
seat open wagon. The driver had three pas-
sengers. The four rode along with faces
beaming brightly in the August sun and sug-
gestive of recent feasting with abundance of
fluid extracts. But no hilarity disturbed the
Sunday quiet. All were grave and scrche.‘
In fact the serenity of the two men on the
back seat was s.) profound as to verge on
somnolency. When in front of the Baptist
church, something tempted the driver to
touch up his horse. He gave him so severe it
cut, the horse sprung from his sleepy walk
with a quick jump and jerk into a trot that
carried him the next twenty or thirty rods at
the rate of six miles an hour. This roused
up the driver and he cried, “That’s a bully
gait, boys” and turned to the back-scat for a
confirmation of the assertion. As he turned,
his beaming face was a picture! A picture
of consternation and amazement! His
wagon had no back scat,—seat and the two
boon companions were gone! He gazed be-
wildered on the vacant place; he pressed his
hands to his own head to be sure that had
not also disappeared. “Where, oh where are
the friends of my youth that but just now
were here,” he Cl ied. “And’be jabcrs what-
ever has become of the byes now" he also
cried. Well “the byes" were lying in the
road in front of the Baptist church with the
back seat atop of them, lying just as they fell
when the sudden jerk fiung them from the
wagon! And were they killed, they lay so
still? or badly hurt? Well not much. They
were fast asleep! They had not yet wakcd
up! And when the bystanders roused them,
they thought they were yet riding and they
said to the driver, “\Vhip him up, Gobd boss,
lick him up."
