EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8, 1876. '
DEAR GAZETTE—There isn’t much here or-
dinarily, to interest the home reader during
a Congressional recess. The several state
campaign clubs, however, by their banners
and club room transparencies manage to
give an air of unusual politicalfervor to this
territorial locality. The voters from Ohio
and Indiana have all left for home to a man,
and a greater intensity of feeling pervades
this political center than at any point outside
those two" hotly contested states.
.1. (lg-'3 Edmunds, the managing head of the
.‘~.’ . t -u:lI Republican Committe, showed us a
.i...3 .ueh last evening he had just received
2;». ,ul the Republican candidate for Governor
in Colorado, which says: “You can rely
upon 2,500 Republican majority in this state,
stre." He also says he hasn’t the least doubt
about our success in Ohio, and though more
fearful of Indiana, all his advices for the past
few days are of the most encouraging chame-
ter. We have been gaining ground daily in
Indiana, for more than a week, he says. To
show how hotly every, inch of ground is
contested, the Republicans held nine hundred
public meetings throughout Indiana last week.
Our Mr. Senator Barnum has been there at-
tempting to organize a democratic success for
Mr. Tilden, in a flnam way, as is his went,
but the Republicans have made appeals to
the heads and hearts of the voters of Indiana,
as they have no rich candidate, with open
purse ready and anxious to offer arguments
solely to the pockets of electors. Whatever
the results may be on Tuesday in Ohio or In-
diana,there doesn’t seem to be a doubt enter-
tained here of the triumph of.Haycs do Whee-
ler in November. A gentleman who has
been stumping North Carolina, assures us that
Tilden and Vance cannot carry the Pine Tar
State, for the reason that the negroes, al-
though intimidated to a considerable extent,
and all sorts of coersive means are used to
scare them away from Republican meetings
and organizations, yet they are backed up by
so strong a body of white Republicans that
their- vote will be very much greater this fall
than heretofore.
Senator Patterson is here to see the Presi-
dent and invoke military aid for his State.
We met him, yesterday, just as he came from
the White House. He says no one who
hasn’t been there can form any idea of the
reign of murder and terror there. Innocent
and inoffensive colored Re N on i' n' "“
pmunucut or Influential Willi th‘fnr race, are
shot down nightly and assassinated in their
own houses by disguised white-liners. He
says the democrats of his state openly and
defiantly avow that white men only shall
vote in South Carolina. That they spit upon
the amended constitution which guarantees
an equality of civil rights to the black. He
affirms that the democratic leaders in his
state boldly declare their determination to re-
sist this clause of the constitution even though
it lead to another war, and say they went
into the last war unprepared, but next time
they will be prepared. That they prefer
death to living in a state where a servile race
can be made equal before the law to the white
race. And to prove that this is no idle threat,
he says South Carolina sent only about thirty-
six thousand men into the rebellion and they
poorly armed, while there are now mustered
overfm-ty thousand members of white rifle
companies, every man of whom has a Colt’s
revolver and a Spencer repeating rifle: He
described a scene at a small town a short
distance interior from Charleston, where he
and Governor Chamberlain and District At-
torney Elliot—a colored man—were invited
-to speak. He says they arrived at the stand
and found it in possession of not less than
twenty-five hundred of these white-liners,
mounted on horse-back, and every man with
his revolver in his belt and his Spencer car--
blue over his shoulder. .These men were dei-
ployed into companies under their respective
captains, with a general in command of the
whole body. The general came to them and
impudently informed them that there could
be f‘ no meeting there if that d—-d nigger
was to speak." They were willing to let
himself and Gov. Chamberlain speak fifteen
minutes each, when they would reply. The
Senator told this commander that here was a
stage erected by Republicans for a Republican
meeting, that his crowd had nothing what-
ever to do with the meeting, but if they in-
sisted upon running the meeting as suited
them, he and his friends'would retire to some
other spot and leave the rifiem'en in undispu-
ted possession of the ”Republican platform.
“N o, d—~—d you," was the response, “you’ve
got to speak here in our presenw, if you
speak at a ." The Senator then remonstrafed
that his armed horsemen. had surrounded
the staging, and every Republican, white 0r
black, had been frightened to the rear. That
he should speak under nosuch circumstances. ,
The Senator says duringall this parley,which_
lasted the best part of two hours, he and
Gov. Chamberlain were constantly insulted
by overbearing such yells as “Jerk 'em out,
hang the d—d carpet bagging sons of
b—s." He was compelled to listen to such
insults without resisting them, because on
the slightest retaliation or excuse for a row,
they well knew a bullet from some unknown
quarter would have terminated their exist-
ence then and :there. These troopers came
there for no other purpose than to break up
the meeting, and by a hoped-for resistance
inaugurate another New Hamburg murder.
When asked by us why he and Gov. Cham-
berlain did not go North and upon the stump
state the actual condition of things in his
state, he replied, “Why, if we were to state
the half of the murderous horrors now exist-
ing in my state, even Northern Republicans
would think our statements crazy or fright-
ened exaggerations. He says the people of
the North entirely mistake these people.
They don’t ask for slavery back again, as they
can get the negroe's labor now as afrec man
at a. vastly less cost than: when owned by
them as slaves. But they say their state shall '
be ruled by native white men, and no negro
shall have a voice or vote in the choice of
their white rulers, and that for this principle
they will fight and die if need be. A tele-
gram fr0m Columbia, received here yesterday
is to the eflect that the report of the deputy
marshals sent to investigate the recent colli-
sion between whites and blacks at Ellenton,
has led Governor Chamberlain to the deter-
mination to issue a proclatixation ordering
all the white military clubs or organizations
, istored.
’ ....I_
to surrender their arms and disband at once.
In case of their refusing to do so he will pro-
claim the state to be in a condition of do.
mastic violence and will inform President
Grant to that effect, and call upon him to
suppress it. ‘ '
The President returned to the White House
day before yesterday, from his summer vaca-
tion, and yesterday he was visited by over
one thousand centennial visitors to the capi-
tal. Executive Secretary Snifiln isback from
his vacation at his parental home in Connect-
icut, and busily engaged dispatching the ac-
cumulated executive business.
The Connecticut Republican club here, are
nightly at work sending documents into Con-
necticut. They have mailed some forty
thousand speeches and, public documents to
the various towns in our state where lists of
voters have beenfurnished them, and will be
glad to respond to any requests from any
source if addressed to “Connecticut Repub-
lican Club, Washington, D. C.”
In nearly all the churches here to-day, lib-
eral collections were taken up in aid of the
yellow fever sufferers in Georgia. Rey. Dr.
Mitchell made a most eloquent and pathetic
appeal to his people for assistance for the
stricken city of Savannah. As ever, B.
Mr. \Varner for Congress.
Our democratic friends, after a not over
harmonious Convention, have nominated
LEVI WARNER, Eso., of Norwalk, for Con-
gress, in place of Hon. Wm. H. Barnum;
promoted. Mr. Warner is a gentleman of
unimpeachable private character, a lawyer of
good standing at the bar—a quiet, modest
man, who takes his democracy by inheritance
rather than by natural instincts themselves.
The nomination of Mr. Warner is a tub to the
coppery or bourbon whale of that party;
Senator Eaton, may with entire propriety
look upon this nomination as a personal com-
the draft period of the war, Mr. Warner
made as bitter threats of resistance as ever
did Mr. Eaton. We have been told that sub-
sequently Mr. Warner changed his views
somewhat in regard to his southern democrat-
ic friends, and looked less leniently upon the
unprovoked war they made for the destruci
tion of the Union. Like Macbeth, he might
wish “thc‘damned spo " out, but it will not
out, for many of our citizens well remember
excitement.
There is just this difference between the
two gentlemen now up for the suffrages of
trict. Dr. ROBERT HUBBARD, the Republi-
,can nominee, was at the front during the war,
suecoring the sick and healing the wounded
Union boys, whose limbs and lives were
jeopardized by the bullets of Southern dem-
ocrats, while Mr. Warner was at home, doing
what he could to discourage the draft and en-
courage those in armed rebellion.
We concede all that can be claimed for
Mr. Warner, on the score of gentiiity and
personal integrity, nevertheless his nomina-
tion as we have before suggested, will gratify
the bunker or disloyal element of the party
more than any one else.

doubtful by both parties, held her election

Another Sad Accident.
The aged relict of Ezra Hoyt‘deceased,
Down Town district, was killed by the cars
of the N. Y. & N. H. Railroad, on Tuesday
morning last. The venerable lady was about
86 years of age, and had wandered out un-
known by the friends with whom shc resided,
and had evidently been out across the rail-
road track to look at a garden belonging to
the family, and which was on the opposite
side of the track and down a little distance
from the house. It is thought that she had
crossed the track on her. return and being
seen by the engineer of the approaching
,. . . L— ....a cave": nut. "mun: LU WIII'II HUT,
but that it had the effect to confuse and
affright her, so that she did not get clear off
the track, but crossed again and was struck
in the head by some part of the locomotive
and knocked down. The train was stopped
and she taken up and carried into Mr. Fitch’s
residence, where she lingered along several
hours before she died. Her untimely end is
mourned by a large circle of friends and ac-
quaintances.
The sympathies of the public have been
most deeply stirred, and hope and expecation
followed by despair, in the distressing cir-
cumstances attending the loss of young Bur-
banks. The clinging hope that he might
have saved himself in his skiff, was dissipa-
ted on Wednesday last, when it was discov-
ed that the small boat had been dragged
down with the sailing craft and was still
attached to it, with no trace of the missing
young man. His boats have been brought
home and the grounds dragged in all direc-
tions from where she sank, with a hope 'of
recovering his body. On Friday, the Bridge-
port oyster men very humanely volunteered
to drag all day for him, but we are pained to
to say, without success.
About five years since, Mr. Burbank lost
another son by drowning on the New Hamp-
shire coast, and but a short time since, an
accomplished daughter died in Paris, and
now, he has lost his only remaining child,
and is denied the consolation of laying his
remains beside those loved ones. who have
gone before, but must wait for the sea to
give up its dead, at the final judgment.
Ma'yVHe who tempereth the winds to the
sham lamb," comfort and sustain those
stricken parents in their great sorrow.
The only child of Mr. and Mrs. George 0.
Keeler, was taken away under most painful
circumstances. She was an unusually healthy
and robust girl, just budding into a beauti-
ful womanhood, when she was seized with
what may be termed the “Centennial fever. ”
For five weary weeks she alternated between
hope and terrible fears, when a marked con-
valescence seemed to be assured. The hearts
of the parents bounded from their long agony
of fear and felt their daughter’s recovery was
a certainty. But, as if in mockery of their
fond hopes, a relapse came, and before the.
light of Thursday morn had tinged the orient,
the child of earth, had passed to the realms
of immortality. Buta few brief months ago,
the daughter watched beside the mothers’
bedside, while life and death seemed to ebb
and flow, as the tide, but the dear Saviour
saw fit to spare the mother and receive the
child to His arms, where free from pain and
sorrow she now reigns in joy supernal, a
spirit glorified.

Our democratic friends seem inclined. to
carry things with a pretty high hand Feel-
ing very confident of their strength in this
old Republican town, they occasionally let
their desires get the best of their judgment,
and loose their heads. At their recent caucus
to nominate '[ own officers they passed avery
remarkable resolution, calling upon the Se-
lectmen to dismiss the Republican at present
in charge of the Town Lock-up, and hereafter
appoint none but democrats to ofiice. and to
purchase all supplies and give all town
patronage exclusively to democrats. Upon the
passage of this remarkable resolution, Capt.
Hanford—who frequently owes his electiou
to Republican votes-promptly offered his
declination as a candidate. This unlocked
for action on the Captain's part brought them
to their senses and they reconsidered. The
action however plainly shows what they
mean by the cry of "Reform."

The Danbury Fair.
The annual Fair of the Danbury Agricul_
tural Society was held last week. We were
present during Friday, when we found the
attendance very large indeed, and general
satisfaction was manifested on all sides. The
Danbury people take great interest in the
Fair, the leading citizens acting on commit-
tees, &c., and the result this year was an ex-
hibition cveryway creditable to the enter-
prising community. All departments were
full, and many displays by merchants were
quite elaboratc?and arranged with taste.
Crowds of people thronged around A. E.
Smith's Sons stand to see how Norwalk peo-
ple make earthen ware. A collection of con.
tennial objects also attracted much attention,
and included a wagon labeled 1690. Our
neighbors of the News made an interesting-
exhibit of the journals published in Danbury
from 1799 to the present time, including a
Washington. D'Artois was present with five
assistants, dealing out refreshments rapidly
and incessantly. Outside there was much
life and variety, Crowds lined the race
course, a large dancing tent was throngcd,
and there were side-shows, clowns, athletes,
targets, a steam engine playing a hand organ
one turning a dozen wooden horses, peanut
stands, cider barrels, candy and balloon ped-
dlers, cement sellers, and innumerable dining
tents. The Wheeler 85 Wilson Band dis-
coursed fine music, and there was incessant
piano and cabinet organ playing. Altogether
the exhibition was large, good and interest-
ing.

-CHICAGO, OCT. tie-Elbert A. Woodward,
confederate of :William M. Tweed in the
great Ring frauds in New York, for whom a
arge reward has been offered, was arrested
here this afternoon at the Palmer House,
where he was registered as A. Wallace of
Liverpool. He was recognized by a New
York gentleman, and pointed out to the po-
lice, and locked up atvthe Centeral Station
Where he will belretainsd until further steps
are taken by New York authorities. He was
veryuncommunicative to reporters, but said
to the‘Policej Superintendent, Mr. Hinckley,‘
that he had just arrived from England, by
way of Savannah, and that he had not seen
Tweed for six years; A man registered as J.
H. Bearodt was with him at thetime of the
by permission.
New YORK, Oct. 5.—The arrest of Wood-
wardin Chicago brings again to light the
fact that there are four indictments in the
district attorney's.ofiice against him. Two
for forgeries on warrants, one for $44,388.88,
and the other for somethin over $42,000,
drawn in favor of John . Keyser. The
other two charges are for larceny m stealing
the two warrants alluded to and obtaining mon
ey upon themfrom a bank. The statute of lim-
itations can be of no avail in this case as the
indictments were found within the time lim-
ited by the statute. On forgeries he can be
sent to prison for any time between five and
ten years,,and on the‘ larccnies for five years.
Wheeler H. Peckham, who procured the
indictments, says he is pretty sure Wood,-
ward will go to prison for twenty years if he
should be found guilty on the four indict-
ments. When asked if Woodward would be
used as state evidence, General Barlow re-
plied that a limit to state evidence must be
:drawn somewhere. Garvey, In rsoll and.
'Keyser already had been grante immunity
for giving such evidence and he could not
see what use could be made of Woodward
unless he would consent to uncover the i1-
ty tracks of Peter B. Sweeney, so care ully
concealed. At present the only idea enter-
tained is to put the prisoner on trial at the
earliest possible moment and push the suits
through. Detective Keely, started to-day
for Chicago, via. Springfield, Ills., and if no
legal obstacles are thrown in his way will
probably be back with Woodward by Tues-
day next. '

Are the only medicines that will‘ cure Pulmon-

Frequently medicines that will stop a cough

the liver, stop the circulation of the blood, hemor-

the very organs that caused the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia. are the causes
of two-thirds of the cases of Consumption. Many
persons complain of a dull pain in the side, con-
stipation,, coated tongue, pain in the shoulder-'
blade, feelings or drowsiness and rcstlessueSS, the
food lying heavily on the stomach, accompanied
with acidity and belching up of wind. '
These symptoms usually Originatc from n disor-

Shenck’s Pulmonic Syrup is an' expectorant
which does not contain opium or anything calcu-

from head. to foot in the paroxysms of fever and,

to the response of the malaria-stricken to this in-

inhabitants are tormented with the shivering
plague comes an increasing demand for the only
genuine preventative and eradicant of malaria pro—
vided by science. The denizens of fever and ages

what are these but poisonous palliatives, which
