W”, W Tuesday, November let, 1876. The Situation. “out: FLAG is STILL runs.” The situation as—to. state of the Electoral votes, remains unchanged, except that the official count has been completed in South Carolina and the result is as has been all along claimed—a decisive Republican major- ity. Even our opponents will not longer question the Palmetto State. . Louisiana. is to cominence her ofllcial count to-day, and she, and Florida may both be expected to render their ofiicial returns by the middle of the present week. The sudden stampede [for Florida, of the democratic managers who congregated at New Orleans, would-indicate that our oppo- nents had become satisfied that Louisiana had certainly cast her vote for Hayes and their last hope and resort was the four votes of Fierida Asall three of these states have heretofore gone Republican as regularly as Connecticut has gone democratic, we don't see why the claims of our Republican friends there are not to be relied upon. We trust the question is to be who has a majority of the legal votes actually cast ? N at, who can engineer the most successful frauds. and count 11 candidate in, not elected, as Tilden and Tweed notoriously counted in Hoffman and counted out John A. Griswold, who was beyond an honest doubt elected Governor of New York in 1868. ' The Republican party- can afford defeat a tth times, rather than have success tainted with fraud, and that is the way every honest member of the party feels and will act in this perplexing crisis. Be patientthen friends; await the final result, assured that whatever it.is, it will be truthful an i right. m The Result. The only change in the condition of affairs from last week is that in South Carolina the official count gives the State to Hayes and A f Wheeler, by a clear majority, over all frauds, _ of nearly 1,000. Rightfully it ought-10 be 40,000. The count in Louisiana commenced yesterday, and Hayes will undoubtedly be found in the majority. A final desperate fight, to captule onevote, well be made by the democrats in Florida, but the Republi- (31m rt. rc are confident Hayes is certainly tut elected by one vote. 1'.

The annual Borough Eelection takes place on Monday, Dec. 4th,. the polls remaining open from 7 a. m., to 3 p. m. The officers to be elected, by plurality of ballots, are as fol- lows: Warden, six Burgesses, Treasurer, Collector, Bailiff, two Registrars ’of Voters, two Inspectors of Elections, one Water Com. missioner, and Treasurer of Water Fund. All electors 01 this State who have resided continuously within the limits of the Borough for the term of six months preceding the election, and whose names are properly regis- tered on the list of voters, are qualified to vote. The Board of Registration have made up a list of voters, as nearly correct aspracti- cable, and posted the same in the Post Office for public inspection. If the name of any man entitled to has been lest of, the name should be handed to Borough clerk Foote to be added to the list. If the name of any man is on the list, who has removed, or for any reason is not entitled to vote, his name should be handed to the clerk to be taken Off. Such names should be handed to the clerk be-i fore 3 o'clock, p. m., of mt Monday, Nov. 27th, as no names can be received after that time. The Board of Registration will hold a public session, on Wednesday afternoon, the 29th, to correct their list ’by adding to or taking off such names, as they may find such persons qualified or disqualified. The elec tion will take place at the Town House, as usual, under the charge of the Inspector's of Election and their députies. The law pro. videsthat “the presiding officer shall receive and deposit in the ballot-box the ballots of all persons whose names are found on the voting list by the two Inspectors, and of none others.” Voters will thus see the im- portance of examining the list at the Post Office, this week, and seeing that their names are properly registered. _» .

A verylarge and fine company nsscmbl ed at Lockwood'a Hall,'lnst ‘Friday evening, to partake of the supper provided by the ladies of the First Congregational church. The Hall was very attractively decorated with flowers, banners, flags, etc. In the center of the room was a long supply table loaded with tempting substantials and delicacies, which were: served from thirteen smaller tables bearing the names of the original states of the Union. At each of these tables a lady presided, and was assisted by several young ladiesin entertaining guests. Before the work of destruction commenced, the tables wares very pleasing “sight tohehold." Every one was spread with snowy linen and cOvered with-bright and handsome sets of silver ware.'~ [Supper was served early and the tables were constantly filled until quite a late hour.

Hall, on Wednesday evening. m Death of Col. Nelson .L‘Whitc. The announcement oflthe death of Col. White was received here with a painful sur- , prise. He died of pneumonia on Thursday night last at his home in Danbury after a very brief illness. Only a week previously his brother, George Granville White, who had many years been a resident of Norwalk, died at his home in New York, and the Colonel had proposed to attend his funeral, as did many citizens of Danbury, but a severe cold he had taken developed into pheumonia and he was prevented, to join him so soon, on the other side of dcath’s’ dark river. , ‘ Col. White was always earnestly identified with the:politics of the country and state, but more especially with this Congressional Dist. He was one of the most earnest champions of Fremont, and the Republican cause in 1856 and our county member of the state central committee in that very remarkable canvass. His mass meeting at Bedding Station, where Judge Culver, Edward Prentice, himself and O. S. Ferry, addressed the assembled multi- tudes will be remembered as one of the most successful gatherings of the Fremont cam- He was most active in bringing forward our Mr. Ferry for Congress, in this District and took the stump in an earnest advocacy of the. then rising young stateman’s election. This friendship remain- ed stedfast, between the two until broken by the death of Senator Ferry just one year ago. When the war broke out, Mr. White prof- fered his services to his country and was ap- pointed Lieut. Colonel of the 4th Ct. Vols. This regiment was subsequently merged into the Ct. First Heavy Artillery and he served as its Officer to the end of the war. He had always been a prominent member of the Fairfield County Bar and was for six years State’s Attorney for this county. He was of most happy nature and genial disposition. To know him was to love him. The past few years he had been a leader and zealous worker in the local temperance reform movement in Danbury and vicinity. He was sixty-five, and in the full maturity of all his mental and physical powers, when stricken donn. His funeral was attended at Danbury, Monday afternoon. Bailey, of the Danbury News, is as modest as he is witty. He has lately consented to deliverafew lectures simply to please the. people. Money is no object, and he would much prefer the quiet scenes of domestic life. In order to prevent .too many “calls" upon his good nature, the lecture bureau having him in charge, ask the moderate sum of $200 per night for his services. He probably de- votes the money to charitable purposes, for what other use would a poor editor have for so much hard cash ? ' Young Folks’ Fair.

Very fcw of his friends and ac- quaintances knew that he had been ill, until startled by the sad news of his death. , He was highly esteemed by everybody who knew him, use. man‘lof high character, strict integrity, and withal a Christian gentleman. Hismany friends deeply sympathize with the bereaved wife and children, for they, too, had learned to love him for his many excellent qualities, of head and heart. He was senior Warden of- Christ Church-parish of that place, and was also an active and honored member of the Masonic Fraternity. It could truly be said of him “none knew him‘but to love him, none named him but in praise. ” .__.__—.—_. Hon. John D. Williams, senior member of the old and well known Shipping House of Williams & Guion, died in New York. last week. He was the son of Capt. John Wil- liams, whom our older readers will remember as having met a tragical death as master of the ship Albion, in a gale at the mouth of the Mersey. Mr. Williams was for many years at the head of the Black Ball Line of N. Y. and Liverpool packets, and had many Connecticut officers and seamen always in his employ. Capt. Wm. Allen of NorWalk, was for many years a master in his line. In more recent years his sailing ships have given place to steamers and his company is known throughout the world as the Liverpool & Great Western Steamship Co., Scores, if not hundreds of the present residents of Norwalk, have crossed the ocean in the ships of his line. He was aged 62' and leaves a wife and seven children. ' Mr. C. W. Bowser's Comedy Company ap- peared at the Opera House, two evenings last week.

Chapman‘s Fifth Avenue Theatre Company will produce the noted drama, Pique,at Music We under- stand that they bring their own scenery, painted expressly for this play. The Syracuse Journal, speaking of a recent performance in that place says :— “The audience which witnessed the pre- sentation of the play of “ Pique,” at Wietin Opera House on Saturday evening possesse both the qualities of size and appreciation. This was well as the performance deserved the compliment in the highest degree, Syra- cuse play goers had heard much about the play which was greeted in New York with so protracted a popularity, and the authorship of which was so unanimously discussed in the New York papers. Also in regard to the com 1: brought here under the ma n'ement of ll 1'. ‘hapman, late Of Daly’s Fifth venue Theater. New York, considerable was looked for, but taken together, play and players, we can say that gratification was afforded all present on Saturday night. The story of “Pique,” hinges on the abduction of a child borne to the heroine of the play, two years subsequent to her marriage with Arthur Standish, the event having been brought through a spirit of pique on the girl's part. At the time of the first production of “Pique” the Charlie Ross mystery was intimately as- sociated with the play, the public mind~at that time being monoo‘olized by that famous case of kidnapping. he story discloses ev. ery da happenings and introduces characters one ght meet in a day’s walk.

DEAR GAZETTE: Upon my return here on Thursday morning last, I found there was a very firm belief that the States of South Car- olina, Florida and Louisiana had gone for Hayes and Wheeler, and the announcement bullctiued at the headquarters of the Nation- al Republican Committee on F street, that “ Hayes qus 185 electoral notes and 2's elect- ed,” was not placed there until Mr. Chandler was perfectly sure Of what he was saying. The dispatch received this afternoon, saying that “South Carolina has given Hayes and Wheeler 600 Official majority," definitely set- tles that state as far its electoral is concern ed, but Governor Chamberlain will probably "argue” the election of Gen. Hampton, as evidences of fraud in some of the districts are too glaring to be passed by without an examg ination. South Carolina has been considered the only one of the three states above named, in which there was even a a slight doubt, and to-night much excitement and enthusiasm is manifested among the Republicans over the good news. As for Louisiana,a dispatch was received here this morning, saying “ eVery- thing is all right here, and there is no ques- tion at issue that cannot be settled by law in favor of Hayes and Wheeler.” A gentleman arrived from Florida to-day, and reports that State as “ sure Republican for the state ticket as well as the National ticket.” The democrats and rebels here in Washing- ton have been quite jubilant, and have suc- ceeded in partially covincing themselves that there was a faint glimmer of success ,for them. They have had nightly meetings of the “ Tilden and Hendricks Reform Club,” and various speakers have rid themselves of superfluous gas. On Thursday night they were addressed by one who called himself Colonel Lull, of Connecticut, (7) and he was reported in last evening’s Star as having told them that “ Connecticut democrats will not come here seeking ofilce, after Mr. Tilden is’ inaugurated, but they will insist upon Mr. David A. Wells being made Secretary of the Treasury, in order that he may look over the books and see how much the ‘thieves’ have stolen." Yesterday morning I was called upon by Col. Lull, and he informed me that he was from Tolland Conn, and short of money, and asked me loan him five dollars to defray his expenses to his home. Much curiosity prevades here in regard to Senator Eaton’s return to his home, after hav- ing reached New York, on his way to the south, in response to Hewitt’s invitation for. leading democrats to visit the states from which the vote was wanting, and assisting in counting the votes. There is a strange desire on tne part Of the democractic leaders tO keep our “Senior Senator" under abushel‘ and there must be a reason for it. When he made an effort to gain admission to the State Dem- ocratic Convention he was held back, and now when he starts for New Orleans and when he reaches New York, he is turned back, and no explanation. - What a grand thing it would be if they would Only turn him back when he starts for Washington next month. Gen. Butler’s election causes great joy among his friends, I think that includes every Republican in Washington. There are many who did not favor Gen. Butler previous to the election who are rejoiced at his success, and all admit that his services are needed in this as well as thc'Forty-fifth Congress. OCCASIONAL O Mackerel are plenty in Vineyard Haven, something never known before. 0 One hundred and twenty-thousand persons perished during a cyclone which passed through eastern Bengal, Oct. 31st. CITY unvigs. a. or our: LOCAL subunits. Our city Election; \ngltatmgf he public mind. It has been iinnOuuced that a "from- ination” does not mean “election” as hereto- fore. There undoubtedly will 'bc‘two- full tickets in the field, but who,...thc candidates will be, is only conjecturedaud‘ who will be elected can better be told after the 4th of Dec. It has been decided by the chief that J udgc Craw, Bouton'aitd Selleck,‘ must retire to private live, but how'to select six out of the remainder, he has not decided. He is willing to accept Cunningham, he being so good a disciplinariun and:so. kind an [acting Mayor. Fitch would be acceptable because of his attention to Lamps,’ Gns,‘and streets. Adams, having served only 4 months, the Select- . chief’s mind is not fully made up. man Smith can stay of course, for he makes no trouble, and only in one instance has he been known to Object. Messrs. G. W. Smith: Ferris, Zelluff and Russell, are in his esti- mation on probation, and Councilman Ray- mond must be retained, as he is so good on the finance question. Before election, how- ever, others may prcfcr to have a say about this matter. Possibly, some of the old and experienced councilmen, such as Hanford, Lane, N. J. Crew, Doty, C. W. Iont, Wil- cox, Lester, Elwell, Dibble, and J. R. Ray- mond may be called upon by their constitu- ents to serve again. We only hope, good, cimpetent, careful, consistent, and con- scientious men. may be elected to do the legislatingan(l care for the interests of the city and not of individuals. The prominent candidates mentioned for Mayor, are Ely, Doty, Rowan, C. W. Smith, Stillson, L. Dibble, Guyer, Hunford, Lane, Crow, N. Taylor, Raymond, and our George. The medical profession seem to be in some-. what Of a ferment. An allopathic' practi- tioner is charged with the flagrant act of con- sulting with an Homoepathist. The ' charge is denied by the accused, but the fact that the charge is made, has given both the accused much extra prominence, and a largely in- creased business from every quarter, except to visit on town orders. For all of the long weeks in the month of October there has not been a meeting of our City Board of Councilmen. so long a recess, great interest was felt in the manner that they would roll off the heavy accumulation of business. A session was held on Monday evening of last week, all members, except councilman Fitch, prekent. Nearly the whole evening was consumed in considering routine business, after which, the matter of closing up the tax books on the list of 1870, ’71, and 72 was considered again and laid over. Our, efficient street commis- sioner, Edwin Adams, Esq, tiring of the honors of an office without emolument or labor, resigned, stating, that with so efilcient a committee on streets and sidewalks, and so accomomdating and independent contractor, the city did not need a street commissioner... This act of the commissioner is regretted, it is so difilcult to get a competent man for that position, he being the fourth selection in six months. The mayor’s pluck holds out, although his duties are assumed in a measure, by his chief. Weare happy to record the last act of the councilman, the considering of Washington street improvement, which has been so serious and unpleasant a matter to lawyer Camp of the Borough. Have patience, it will be done soon, so says Charbra. Since the news from Louisiana and Florida have become so mixed, politically the plan ning out of ofllces has about ceased, and yet some feel more sure of the coveted prize of the post Office, titan friend H. H. B. can of his clerkship in the Senate. “Lawyer Brown” and wife were arrested last Tuesday for keeping a disorderly and improper house at Whistleville, found guilty and fined $50 and costs. which they paid, and agreed to leave town immediately. “Be jabers,” said Mike, on looking up at “Tuck’s” sign. “The Tildrix club is opened again, I’m gone in for me grauebhcks.” Our community was shocked on Thursday morning on learning that during Wednesday night, Miss Fanny Booth, a pupil of the Union School, and Miss Julia Hotchkiss a teacher, had died. Both were young ladies held in high esteem, as was manifest at the funerals. Miss Hotchkiss’ made a' present to the widowed mother, and contributed a floral wreath, and a scholar a bud and gera- niumdeaf, beautiful for its simplicity. Mem- bers Of her class attended and sang at the funeral. Miss Booth’s classmates attended her funeral, as did most of the members of the sabbath school of the Congregational church. - At the last meeting of the Board of Coun- cilmen a communicatibn was received from Mayor Ely, and referred to the committee on ordinances relative to Bonds of all city offi- cers who receive money on behalf of the city. The Mayor wants no exceptions, and as he receives money fOr Licenses, thinks that he should give Bonds as other city oflicers are required to do. The committee are somewhat perplexed, finding no warrant in Law or precedence, compelling the execu- tive officer of a city, state, or nation to give Bonds. If the Mayor is thus required, the city attorney also should be. Facts in regard to the generous acts men- tioned last week have been learned, which make the not much more commendable. The fine was paid by our chief city ofiicial, he not knowing or ever having seen the girl who is now living with her sister, in Gloucester, Bradley and Hoffman started on a gunning expedition among the Ducks, on Thursday, returning heme minus the ducks, but bring- ing a pair of gray squirrels. Now that the city authorities have rid us of a pest house, ' it is hoped that the town authorities will be as efficient in their duty to rid the town of the places of the saute kind well known to them. ' ' We print elsewhere the annual report of the Borough Officials. It will be found very complete and full, and so plain that every- body can understand its meaning. The showing is creditable to the present board, and the condition of Borough finances is ap- parently better than last‘year. Read the Report. . Mr. George H. Hayes suntan, Conn, is the victim of campaign abuse. The Nor- walk Gazette alluded to him on the morning of election day as “the retailer' of 25 cent sandwiches at the Stamford depot. ” Mr. Hoyt says this is an error, and asks as “a matter of justice” to have it corrected. The correction is made with pleasure. ' Every traveler on the New Haven Railroad who has been laid up with a lame jaw after a vain attempt to masticate at. Stamford sandwich will appreciate Mr. Hoyt’s wish not to be held responsible for these instruments of torture—New York Tribune. The impression has been universal, that Mr. Hoyt was in some way connected with the Stamford Restaurant and the sale of fruit on the cars, and we have never heard it con- tradicted till now. But we personally know Mr. Hoyt to be too honorable a gentleman to prevaricate on so trivial a matter as this, and so most heartily give him the full benefit of his denial. There was no intended slur upon the business, but the public have ‘long deem- ed the pn’ocs charged there as exhorbitant and it was the 25 cent feature only that we desired to emphasize in our squib. We are willing to go further than the Tribune and say that the coffee and sandwiches are exceptlbnally good, nevertheless the opinion very generally. pre- vails that the prices are too strong, and that was the only nail, we were trying to hit on the head. - The Sentinel announces a Thanksgiving story under the very cheerful and pleasing title of “The Dead Man’s Comer.” >.r—.—-————- As $20 will purchase as much now as $25 would two years ago, Hans thinksthe salary, of Warden and Burgesses ought to be reduced. 0 Gov.

' These Pills are alterative, and produce a healthy action of the liver, without the least danger, as they are free from calomel, and yet more cfiica- cious in restoring a healthy action of the liver.
