Our Congressman.
While every exertion should be made for
the Presidential ticket, and for our 'State
officers, not the least important duty is to
work for our CONonassMAN. Dr. Rommr
fireman, is a gentleman whose personal
. ..- -. .- and accomplishments and whose war
.. ...-cS ought to-command the united and
: ..;nest support of every loyal voter. Indeed
A man with Doctor Hubbard's army record,
ought to have the undivided vote of every
freeman in‘the 4th Congressional District.
He is not a bitter partisan, but he is a patriot
anda true gentleman. This popularity is
best attested by the fact that a year ago last
spring, when he first ran against Senator
Wm. H. Barnum, he ran some six hundred
ahead of his tiCket at his home in Bridge-
port and some fifteen hundred ahead, in his
vote throughout the District. It requires
only the same persistent, 'vigilant effort our
opponents are putting forth, to secure
Doctor Hubbard's triumphant election. It
ought to be a matter of no doubt when such
men as Dr. Hubbard are offered the voters of
Connecticut.
Election, Tuesday, November ‘7th.
09—.—
The Republican gathering at Music Hall, 7
South Norwalk, last Friday evening was a
grand success. The speech of Col. Hoyt was
a rapid and brilliant discussion of the issues
of the canvass, and if any regrets were felt
that so little time was allotted Rev. Mr.
Thomas, these sorrows will be assnaged by
the fact that he is to speak first at Lockwood’s
Hall, next Tuesday night.
The Boys in Blue of Norwalk and South
Norwalk make a- fine street parade, and let
their lights shine in a way that made every-
thing bright except the faces of the discon-
solate democrats.
Our friends may justly expect a rare treat
at the Republican meeting at Lockwood’s
Hall next Tuesday evening. Rev. Wm. H.
Thomas is too well known as an able and
- eloquent speaker to require further endomo-
ment from us, while Hon. 0. H. Platt‘s
speeches in this campaign have approxima-
ted more nearly those of Bob. Ingersoll‘s,
than any man on the Connecticut stump.

/ What the Democratic Party has
‘ Cost Us.
It cost us the war. It cost us the terrible
burden of three billions of debt, every dollar
of which must be wrung from capital and
labor. It cost all the sufferings and agonies
of the battle field and the hospital. It cost
us not less than a million of precious lives,
destroyed. Can the people again trust a po-
litieal party with power that has already cost
the nationso much. It is high time they
shouted Reform, indeed.
Ho! Ho!
We are informed that a concerted and
persistent personal effort is to be inaugurated
towards getting Republicansto vote for the
democratic pominee for Congress. This Is
an open confession of their weakness and
should only lead every Republican to work
the harder for the soldier’s friend, Dr. Robert
Hubbard. ~
Our friend 0. E. Wilson, has returned
from the Centennial, but almost as coppery
as when he went. And yet if the solid
southern democrats whom he supports could
have had their way, we should had no Cen-
tennial, and but for the aid and assistance
given them by the northern supporters of
Tilden, we should-not be groaning under
our present burdens of taxation and business
L: -:ession.

Mr. Warner invites defeat by making such
statements in his speeches as that there is no
more intimidation of' Republican voters in
South Carolina than in Vermont. This he
stated in a recent speech at South Norwalk,
and it is alittle clearer evidence of ignorance
or something worse than his other statement
that Grant had already 128 Regiments of
U. S. troops already stationed in the South.

Reasons Why Robert Hubbard
should be ourfigt Congressman.
First—He is pro-eminently a popular can-
didate and noman in public life over pre-
sented a clearer and :rnanlicr record than DR.
RODEaT HUBBARD.
Second—He has fine legislative abilities
and if elected to Congress would make an
impartial, honest and capable representative.
Third—He has had some experience in
public life and has never failed to fulfill the
duties of each and every position to the en-
tire satisfaction of his constituents.
Fourth—He is a strong man in the partizau
sense of the term and carried his own town
in two successive occasions by a majority of
over ONE HUNDRED vorns with a popular
democratic majority aginst him of our sin:
hundred. ‘
Fifth—He was the only Republican can-
didatc elected last April in the town of
Bridgeport, which went heavily democratic.
Sixth—He is the only man in point of fact
who can wrench from Barnum his “pocket
district” from the democracy.
Seventh—He is a Union man of the straight-
est kind, and in the darker days of the re-
public, her most sincere and faithful sup-
porter, a man who unselfishly relinquished
family, fritnds, and a lucrative medical prac-
tice to dedicate his life and services to the
cause of American freedom,—su0h a man
ought never to be defeated.
Eighth—He is a practical, common sense
man, and such a man should represent us in
Congress.
Ninth—He is a genuine “Jackson demo-
crat of the old school ' and believes that the,
office should seek the man and not the man
the office. Let us therefore prove the power
of the people to elect a man nominated by
themselves and not by a corrupt clique, who
will worthily represent us.

The Boys in Blue,
will meet at the Club Room, this Tuesday
evening to perfect arrangements for going to
Danbury, Wednesday night. '
There will be speaking again, at the Tucs-
day night meeting of the Club. Come one,
come all. .
Neptune’s Reunion.
The annual rc-union- of the Norwalk Nep-
tune Club, was held at Odd Fellows Hall,
Gazette Building, Wednesday evening last.
There were about fifty members and guests
present, and after partaking of a bountiful
supper, prepared by Commissary A. J. Mee-
ker, and served by Fred. Mead, there was
such a “ feast of reason and flow of soul” as
the boys never before had exceeded. The
many curious and comical incidents of their
last long voyage, and of their unusually brief
sojourn at Oak Bluffs, were all recounted
with unusual zest and delight. From chap-
lain to gtmner, and steward to Hasher, all
seemed to enjoy the occasion of the reunion
as never before. Their week’s sail from Nor-
walk to Oak Bluffs, was afiEirmed over and
over again, to have been the most delightful
sail they ever had made. The boys asserted
this so many times that it seemed as if they
had really got to believing iLthemselves. No
explanation was made of the charge that the
only way they ever reached the Bluffs was by
turning their schooner around and heading
her for New York. But when brother Wood-
ward proposed an amendment to their consti-
tution, providing that no trip should ever be
made hereafter in less than five days, life was
no longer a failure to the Neptune boys, and
the very acme of human happiness seemed to
be thus forever secured them.
The remarks of the lady visiting at the
Bluffs during the stay of the Neptunes, that
she had never seen gentlemen more willing
to forego the formalities of introduction and
make themselves “just like one of the fami-
ly," filled the boys with all the pride of con-
scious merit, in which even the Chaplain
seemed to feel that they were deserving a
full share of the compliment. With speech
and song and letter-reading, from brethren
unable to attend the re-union, the hours sped
away, and not till midnight did the jolly
party adjourn to meet for the next year’s
cruise.
Mr. George F ‘Belden has experienced one
of those terrible afflictions that awaken uni-
versal sympathy. During the past week he
has burid two little children from diphthe-
ria. One was a particularly bright and bean-
tiful girl of five years, and the other a babe
about two years of age. This terrible scourge
of children is somewhat prevalent in and
about our town, we learn, but has not assum-
ed as yet a malignantly contagious type.
Mr. Warneris stumping his district, and
report says is making some statements, quite
as wild and foolish as his story about .the
128 Regiments quartered in the South to
intimidate white voters. Honesty is the
best policy, Mr. Warner, even in politics.
By direction of the Board of School Visi-
tors, the public schools are to commence at 9
a. m. and 1 p. m., and close at 12 noon, and
4 p. m. The intermissio t noon is short,
both for teachers and schhlars, especially if
teachers are required to be present fifteen
minutes before opening as at present in some
schools. '
Norwalk was again hugely represented
at Philadelphia, last week. David W. Nash
and daughter, A. Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Da-
vid Platt, Miss Carrie Olmstead, Miss Ann
G‘uilford, Wm. Quintard, LeGrand Betts, A.

Hattie Byington, Miss Emma Weed, Mrs'
Carlysle T. Weeks, Miss Sarah F. Aiken,

Relyea, Dr. Samuel Lynes and family, D. P.
Ely and two daughters, Thomas Cousins and
two daughters, Mrs. Geo. Seofield, W.E. Dann
and wife, Fred. Gorham Charles Church, John
Malone, Master Horace Olmstead. Probably
this lattor_visitor got as large a return for his
money a‘srany one who has visited the Centen-
nial from these parts.
The coming week about the whole of our
remaining population seem to be going thither.

Boys in Blue at Danbury.
A grand Republican torch-light demonstra-
tion is to be made in Danbury on Wednesday
evening. All the Boys in Blue in the county,
we understand, have been invited to parti-
cipate, and our Danbury friends expect to
have 1,000 torches in line. The Norwalk
and South Norwalk companies have accepted
the invitation, and expect to leave our up-
town depot at 6:24 (regular train) and return
by special train after the parade. All who
desire to go should report to the captains.
The house and home of Mrs. George Cleve-
land, on the Silver Mine road was destroved
by fire on Friday last at about 11 o'clock, a.
m. Mrs. Clevelandwas absent from home,
at work, and her children were away, which
leads to a suspicion that it may have been set
on fire. Mrs. 0. lost all her fm'niture and all
of her own and childrens’ clothing, and is
left in a most pitablc condition. Her house
was insured for $150 and Her loss in all is
probably some $300 to $350 more.

THEODORE TIL'I'ON. On Thursday, Nov
2d, Norwalk people are to have an oppor.
tunity of listening to the eloquence and
viewing the magnificent proportions of the
renowned Theo. Tilton, who has been so long
known as an editor and orator, and who has
recently been so unfortunately mixed up in
several great scandal cases.

The Republicans held a good meeting at
Five Mile River last week Monday night.
Rev. Mr. Thomas and J udgc Giddings were

The Ladies of the Norwalk Reform Club
are to visit Weston on Wednesday afternoon
and hold one of their interesting meetings in
the Congregational Church at 7 o’clock, p.

ance of the people of that vicinity.
The Blaine Mass Meeting.
Our Bridgeport friends have arranged for a
general Mass Convention of the Sohliers,
Sailors and citizens of the Fourth Congress-
ional District, on Saturday afternoon of
November 4th, at which time the Hon.
JAMES G. BLAINE, among others, will address
the meeting. It is expected that excursion
rates of fares will be arranged for on the
Danbury and N. Y. «Sr N. H. Railfoads so
that our people may turn out on. mouse to hear
the great orator from Maine.

The Sixticth Anniversary of the mar-
riage: of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Smith, was
a local event of more than ordinary interest.
The agcdcouple, were in the best of health
and spirits, and received the congratulations
of between seventy and eighty friends who
called to pay their respects. No special in-
vitations were issued and all the calls were
informal. Among those present was Thos.
Warner, Esq.- of Springfield, who inform-
ed us that J udgc Smith’s was the first house
he visited on his coming to Norwalk, more
than thirty years ago and he had never been
in town, since his departure without calling.
Mr. Wm. S. Lockwood and Eli B. Bennett,
the former about the age Of the judge and
spects to their venerable and happy friend,
although urged to ride. Mr. Bennett passed
his sixtieth anniversary some three years
and his spouse are yet hole and hearty. The
Judge’s brother, Asa Smith, Esq, who was
a witness to the wedding sixty years ag0,was
also among the happy guests. This Smith
family is a very remarkable one in many re-
spects.’ The J udgc is a lineal descendant of
old Israel Putnam, and Mrs. Smith of Gov.
Fitch, and of Thomas Fitch the first steam-
boat builder of the world. Mrs. Smith was
born and has never for her more than four
score years, lived off their present homestead
grounds. The Judge had a great uncle who
died at over a hundred years,and has an aunt,
Mrs. Hanford of Chestnut Hill, Wilton, now
living, who is 96. Of his nine brothers and
sisters, all are living, save two, and their un-
ited ages are 504 years. The eldest being 81
and the youngest 68. The ,J udge’s grand-
mother, at her death was 89. We surely
but repeat the wish of all who know this
aged pair, that they may yet live in health
and strength many years to come and at last,
ripened like the autumn leaves, drop in
glorious beauty, peacefully and triumphantly
to rest. ’

For Congress.
Don’t fail to work and vote for Dr. Hub-
bard for Congress. In the dark days of the
war he relinquished the largest and most-
lucrative medical practice possessed by any
man in this district, and went to the war,
slept on the ground, endured fatigue, priva-
tion and suffering in order that he might
minister to the health and comfort of the
boys in blue; fighting for the salvation of
the Union.
The canvass for Representatives has in
factbegun. We have heard the names of
Messrs. Baker, Rowan, Wm. H. Benedict,
and Judge. Giddings spoken of at South
Norwalk, while Messrs. Andrew Selleck,
Allen Betts, Winfield S. Moody, Dr. Samuel
Lynes and Rev. S. B. S. Bissell, have been
spoken of as candidates at the Bridge.
The wish seems to be universally expressed
throughout this Senatorial District that Hon.
Oliver Hoyt of Stamford, might be induced
to accept the nomination for State Senator.
If he would consent to such a nomination his
election would be triumphant.
The Winter Evening Entertain-
ments.
The first entertainment of the seasonnvhich
was to have been given on Wednsday even-
ing, has necessarily been postponed until Fri-
day evening. It is expected that this concert
by the Young Appollo Club will be remarka-
bly fine. Secure course tickets and encour-
age the managers in their efforts to provide
good entertatinments.
A very painful case of fraudulent practice
was discovered at the Bank of Norwalk last
week, involving Mr. Chas. E. Mann, who has
always hitherto borne the reputation of being
an honest and hard working person. It seems
that 'some time since, he became involved in
debt, in consequence of his liabilities from
opening a granite quarry in upper Wilton.
To relieve him from this embarrassment
Sherman Morehouse, James H. Taylor, his
father-in-law, and other Wilton gentlemen
had endorsed short notes for him which were
discounted at the Fairfield County and Na-
tional Bank of Norwalk. These were paid
in part on maturity and the balances rcnew7
ed, until the original endorsers, were as they
supposed entirely released by the full pay-
ment of the notes. But instead of paying
his liabilities, Mr. Mann seems to have made
new notes for different amounts and endors-
ed them in the names of his friends, until
last week, when Cashier Craufurd made the
discovery by the merest accident that the en-
dorsements be held on Mann’s notes were
forgeries. An investigation led to the di.-
covery that the Bank of Norwalk held some
half dozen notes aggregating $935, with the
names of Sherman Morehouse, James H.
Taylor, Harvey Fitch, John Gorham and
James Comstock, forged about and equally
distributed upon the full series. At the Fair-
ficld County Bank, it was found there were
five notes with a total of $915 on which the
endorsements of James H. Taylor and Sher-
man Morehouse, were for ed. Mann recent-
ly offered a note at the new Central National
Bank, endorsed by Harvey Fitch and James
H. Taylor, but it was declined, and the two
older banks are believed to hold all the
forged paper he had out. On being confront-
ed with his crime, Mann gave himself up,
and is now in the lock-up awaiting a settle-
ment of his forgeries or a prosecution for his
misdeeds. It seems strange that a young
and enterprising business man should thus
wantonly throw himself away, and so utterly
destroy a good reputation for so paltry an
amount of money. But it is the old story,
he intended to pay every dollar of his notes
himself and perhaps might have done so, yet
such a guilty secret in times like these would
have unnerved most. men. The signatures
were all well executed few similt'es of their
owners autographs. Indeed Mann, showed
himself a rather better penman than the best
writer among them. As such things are pos-
sible, why would it not pay to send out
printed notification slips to every endorser,
as well as drawer upon the approaching
maturity of a note, as is done in the larger
towns and cities.

tonished his parishioners on Sunday last, by
reading a letter of resignation. The best of
feeling prevailed in the Society, and he re-
signed simply because he thought he could
accomplish more good in some other field.
The Coufier says:
Mr. Hubbell has been pastor of the College
street church since the past June, 1869, and
has, consequently, been here longer than
other Congregational minister in the city; in
fact some of the churches have had two pas-
tors in that time. During his connection with
the church the society has been much pros-
pered, about two hundred and seventy per-
sons having been received by letter and pro—
fession. It is Mr. Hubbell’s intention to con-
tinue to labor in the good cause, and he will
no doubt receive numerous calls. Saturday
evening next the prudential committee of the
church will meet at the pastor’s study and
make arrangements necessarily owing out
of the resignation. The resignatIon will'take
effect in a short time.

poned, or transferred tonic Mile River.
The Boys in Blue with a» double drum
corps, a Battalionof the Borough Boys in
Blue and many .of the residents of the'CIty
formed aprocession, marched to ~ Five Mile-
River, where they found the Boys in Blue
from Darien, and a large assemblage 0f the.
residents in that part of Norwalk, listening
to the address of Rev. W. H. Thomas, on
the political aspects of the day, comparing
\ the acts of the democratic party with that of
the Republican party, and referring to the
manner in which the democratic party were
now as always, governed by the same party
of the South. He said for the good which the
Republican party had done, and for its prin-
ciples of honesty, equality and freedom; it
was entitled to the support of every well
wishcr of the Nation. Judge Ami Giddings,
spoke well upon the same subject, and hum-
orously referred to the copperheads, North
and South.’
The South Norwalk Glee Club sang several
campaign songs, after which the residents of
Five Mile River treated‘the Boys in Blue to
a bountiful supply of coffee and sandwiches.
Many of the houses were illuminated from
top to bottom. The account froni‘ that 10-
cality will tell on the right side on the 7th of
November. ' ‘
The Tilden and Hendricks entertainment
advertised for Wednesday evening, did not
take place.
Mayor Ely, and Alden Solmons, Esq., rc-
tumed from the Centennial, on Saturday. R.
H. Rowan and family returned on Thursday
from an extended Western tour. ' '

ing of Nov. let for the benefit of the Society.
; A Union Republican rally is contemplated
in West Norwalk, on Monday evening next.
The Boys in Blue of Norwalk and Darien
have been invited, and good speakers have
promised to attend. .
The meeting of the Union Republican
Hayes and Wheeler Club on Friday evening,
at Music Hall, was a complete success. More
than 2500 people were present, to hear the
truthful, manly and eloquent utterances of
Col. H. W. R. Hoyt andRev. ,W. H. Thomas.
The danger of allowing the Democratic party
the ascendancy, was fully discussed, and the
facts of their incompetency to govern well
and justly, was fully proven by fuels and
figures. '
The regular meeting of the Hayes and
Wheeler Club on Friday Evening next will
be addressed by Daniel L. Millard Esq. and
Charles E. Jennings. It is rumored, that one
of our city Councilmen will, at the same meet-
ing, reply to and “expose some-of the many
fallacies, propagated by James H. Olmstead
in his address to the Democracy on Saturday
evening ” at Military Hall;
Al: the close of the Hayes & Wheeler
gathering on Friday evening, two Irishmen
met, one coming from Music Hall, the other
from work. Barney enquires, “Where have
you been Riley ‘2" "Sure to the Hayes meet-
ing, and I am going to vote for him,——an I’m
to vote for “Tildrix,” he’ll commence making

ELECTION FRAUDS.
The New York papers narrate a system of
voting frauds in that city, which, if carried
out as now begun, will exceed those of 1872,
when over sixty thousand false naturalization
papers were issued by Tweed’s J udgc Cardo-
zo, alone. The frauds perpetrated by the
Tammany Hall gangs of repeaters, were so
fully exposed by U. S. Commissioner Daven-
port, last winter before Barney Caulficld’s in-
vestigating committee, that thisReform con-
gressman suppressed the Report of his com-
mittee for fear of the results to his party. It
was there proven, under oath, that while
Samuel J. Tilden. was chairman of the Dem-
State Committee, organized gangs of sneak
thieves, piolcpockoto, burglars and murder-(ms,
were hired by Tilden’s Committee to make
as many false registrations as possible, be-
tween Castle Garden to Harlem River. That
one gang of thirty repeaters registered above
one hundred and fifty tinws‘eaoh I That over
five hundred noting districts were created for
the purpose of facilitating these frauds and
that in another instance a gang of eight of
these-repeaters registered in over three hun-
dred of the voting places. In another case Some
forty repeaters registered their! residences
from a one story shop only 16x18 by actual
outside measurement. Commissioner Daven-
port-brought nearly a half bushel of photo-
graphs of these precious employees of Mr.
Tilden’s democratic committee, borrowed
'from the rogues' gallery. These pictures gave
on the back of each a short history of the crim-
inal life of the rascal. One was rccordgd. "One
of the most expert of London burglars.”
Then a record of three conviction and state
prisOn sentences in New York were endorsed
on his photograph. Another was a noted
'pickpocket,—still ano'ther,a highwayman, and
two at least, we personally recall who had
served sentences for manslaughter. The pic-
tures of these scamps spread out on the table
by Davenport, was the most villainous mass
of rascality we ever beheld. These are doubt-
less the samo audacious scoundrcls who are
now repeating on registrations in New York
and Brooklyn, in the interestiand pay of Til-
den and Reform. In no" other way can the
enormous registrations in these cities be ac-
counted for. ' ' '
Taking a. stroll through the N orwalk Foun-
dry, bn River street,'rece_ntly, we ' were sur-
prised to see how rapidly. the.busine‘ss of the
establishment has increased Of late years.
Since Mr. , S. E. Olmstead became proprietor,
and Mr. Geo. H. Raymond, 2d, has been in
charge, the business seems to have jumped
right ahead. We presume-few of,our people
have :any idea of the extont to- which stoves,
heaters, furnaces, and Other castings are
made here. The articles manufactured here,
together with the best of parlor stCVes, &c.,
are kept on sale, at retailas well as'at whole-
parlor stove which they have on sale, called
the “New Dauntless," made by Messrs.
Rathbone, Sard & 00., of Albany. The
makers have attemptedto produce the best as
well ast he most beautiful stove in market, and
thy are proud of their success. Thtre have
been wonderful improvements in parlor stoves
lately, and the “new Dauntless” of this sea-
son, is certainly “9 thing of beauty” which‘
will be a joy to all possessors. It is made
from 'new patterns, in most approved shape,
and is ornamented with handsome nickel
plated bus relkf castings in panels on each
side of the cylinder, copied from a beautiful
work-in bronze. The mica light doors ex-
tend all around, in two rows, and can be
readily removed. All mouldings are widen-
ed and polished, the urn is of new design,
there is a nickel-plated foot rail all around, a
plated name plate, polished knobs, etc. The
stove is a base burner and base heater, a self-
feeder, has an anti-dust damper, an ash pan
easily removed, is very easily managed, and
cleanliness in working is secured. I is also
very economical, and a fire can be kept
twenty-four hours if necessary, without any
attention whatever. .A variety of sizes and
styles are made, some with ovens. The
stove is a real parlor ornament, easily manag-
ed, and economical, and should be examined
by all who desire a good parlor heater.
The Empire Heater, which received a gold
medal at the late State Fair, is modest this

Lane Cooking Range, a variety of cooking
stoves, etc.

Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmon-

Frequently medicines that will stop a cough
will occasion the death or a patient; they lock up
the liver, stop the circulation of the blood, hemor-
rhage follows, and in fact, they clog the action of
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 ot‘a dull pain in the side, con-
stipation,, coated tongue, pain in the shoulder-
blade, feelings of drowsiness and restlessn05s, the
food lying heavily on the stomach, accompanied
with acidity and belching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from a disor-
dered condition of the stomach or a torpid liver.
Persons so afiected, if they take one or two hea-
vy colds, audit the cough in the cases be sudden—
ly chocked, WIIl find the stomach andliverclogged
remamIng torpid and inactive, and almost before
they are aware the lungs are a mass of sores, and
ulcerated, the result of whichis death.
Shenck’s Pulmonie Syrup is an expectorant
which does not contain opium or anything calcu-
lated to check a cough suddenly.
Schenck’s Sea. Weed. Tonic dissolves the food,
rmxesth-h the gastric juices oi‘the stomach, aids
digestion, and creates a ravenous appetite.

NERVOUSNESS, and all derangelnents of the
nervous system, are usually connected with a dis-
eased condition of the blood. Debility is It Ire~
quent accompaniment. The first thing to be done
is to improve the condition of the blood. This is
accomplished by taking VEGE'I‘INE. It is a nerve
medicine and possesses a controlling power over
the not vous system.
