[Ens Susanna]
anooukric HEADQUARTERS,
Locuwoon’s BUILDING,
NORWALK, Nov. 6th, 1876,}
Hon; Wm. H. Barnum:
Dnm SENATOR :V—Yours, enquiring as to
the state of our cause and theIefi’orts being
made by the persons named, is received, as
was also your liberal contribution towards
our election expenses. W! had a deal of
perplexity in placing the money so as to
prevent a rim among our Irish voters, who,
you know, cast the major portion of our vote.
They, somehow, have get the idea into their
ignorant pates that your money is sent here
to be divided up among them, instead of be-
ing left around at the gin mills to pay for
drinks and to cover the cost of our meetings,
refreshments, and other necessary expenses
of the committcemen, as also for the pur-
chase of any scaly black republican, whose
appetite for our whiskey may be made to
overcome his love of his party principles.
Quite a knot of these stupid Affairs had com-
bined and threatened us trouble, unless they
were paid some” of your funds. But we've
so bamboozled them again, I guess they will
pull straight to-morrow. The sorest trial
we‘ve had has been to keep the hungry horde
quiet who want a division of all the offices,
now, before _Tilden is even elected. And
what is worst of all, most of ’cm are our na-
tive born democrats. If it was only the stu-
pid Irish and Dutch we could stand it. But
it does seem as if our very best men had ex-
actly seven democratic principles-the five
loaves and the two fishes. '
Your promise to distribute ‘u the places
we are to have after the fourth 11' March, to
our satisfactibn, has only made this part Of
our “still hunt" more intensely red hot. IYou
never saw such a ravenous sot. Still, when
you consider what an army of hungry pigs,
and how few teats our old democratic sow
has got, you can account for the squealing
that‘s now going on here. Some of them we
can fool along and pacify without any great
difficulty But others are so starved out, they
swear they‘ll have blood. Warner will be
elected tomorrow to take the seat in the
House that yOu left vacant (when you left
for good I mean) and as he will draw about
three thousand dollars for the time before he
becomes a congressman, we expect he will
put a part of his back pay where it will do
the most good—to the party. His law busi-
ness has so petered out he couldn't do as well
by the boys as he wanted to, but there's noth-
ing mean about Warner, and when he raids
his three thousand out of the treasury he can
make a more satisfactory divy. The Repub-
licans here revived the charge of his coppery
state of mind when the unpleasantness broke
out between our southern friends and the
north. Our adversaries forgot that the truth Of
such a charge would only give him the stron-
ger demoératic vote. '
H. H. Barbour wants something and has
really done us good service, so we’ve spiked
his gun by promising him the clerkship of
the State Senate. He says he cleared $3,500
out of the clerkship of the House last Sum—
mer and this certainly entitles him to go to
the Senate, for nobody else could make so
much out of it. We‘ve redated and brought
forward Gen. Couch and put him up for Rep.
resentative. The general was once something
of a man, if ’ never much of a soldier, but he
got to the rear,” a good deal as he did, in the
army, and so we’ve brushed him up town
on our ticket, though what litttle there is of
his union army record may kill him as our
candidate. He has just done a dreadfully
foolish thing in publishing so much of‘his au-
tobiography, it will ”certainly hurt him. I
fear and tremble for the result. The Gener-
al will want a good place somewhere in the
public service, and you will likely hear from
him about March 4th. 'We had it set up to
nominate Gen. Taylor'withhim, but some 05
the boys swore about our having too much
general on our _ticket, but when interviewed
Gen. Taylor said, “Gentlemen, your candi-
date I cannot be," so we got easily out of
that Union soldier muss. You know Taylor
once represented Reformer John Morrissey’s'
district in Congress, and having been educa-
ted in the Tammany school of New York
politics, he is no slouch, but a cute old rat,
and you’ll find him standing ofl to gobble up
the first judgeship that is lying around loose.
We finally hit upon Win. Hanford for our
second Representative, though I wouldn’t go
for him, because he _went back on you, last
Spring in the Legislature. I haven’t forgiv-
en him for fooling his vote away on Ingersoll
for United States Senator, for we all know
the Governor never contributed a fortieth part
to the cause that you have done. But Han-
ford is about the cleanest chap we’ve got in
the party, and the majority Of our caucus
said we must recognize the respectable ele-
ment, if ever so small, and so we nominated
Hanford. ’
Jimmy Ilyatt is 0. IL, of course. He is
satisfied with being Bank Commissioner and
Captain General of the party, across the way,
at the “Horse-RailwayeDepot-Democratic-
Headquarters.” The black Republicans have
dubbed his place the “Democratic Gossip
Den,” but it isIonly envy, ’cause so many of
our faithful, caucus town affairs _over there.
The Mayor and Asa want' something of
course, but the labor has got to be light, and
the pay heavy to satisfy. Sam. hasn't been
as ferocious this campaign as usual. He‘s:
even let our new convert,'Wilson, beat him
It his own game. andItell bigger fills, and
more of them. on the Radicals. But Sam.
says he has had more honors than coppers
from the party, and if begin to have anything
from the -Tilden administration, he Wants
more substance and less sham;
Asa used to ”have a good business when
every democrat could afiOrd'to own a jug,
and keep it filled at4homc,jbut now the times

A
file have to beat their drinks out of the too
indulgent dealer. Asa is a fat/fj‘OIly'ahd easy
going fellow, and we only have to scratch his
back with a little flattery to swell him out
like asea robbin.‘ He's a heavy weight in
more senses than one, but he can blow and
perspire in the democratic ranks, ahead of
any man of his inches. He would like the
would kill him. And if he goesfor that, he's
got to back against about every third white
man in the party. ' ' '
Chief Justice Pinckney isgoing to vote for
us to-morrow. and we all know that means—
Post Office. Then Warner's paternal by
marriage, Deputy Sheriff Adams, expects to
have the inside track on this mail service.
He don't want it for himself (for he could
live on his present bone) so much aslhe does
for a son or two, he wants to work in as
clerks, and who need providing for. Then
Dannllas got a boy down here and would
like him to be P. M., not that he is really
necessitOus, Ibut Darin likes to be noticed you
know? 'But we'never have any trouble in
bambOozling him. We made him Burgess
once and that will last him ten years. Then
there's John Honnecker,vour right bower in
dragging in the Irish votes. He don't mean
to have his cake all dough this time in this
Post Office fight. Then Bill Hands, Platt

chell, Carl Weeks and Burr Smith, all swear.

barian, and he's no pluck for such a rough and
tumble scrimage as we are sure to have, so I
think he will prefer to take the collectorship
of the port. The revenues Of this post are
small. but the heaviest duties are receiptihg
for the salary, and that would just suit Ass.
The highest arts of statesmanship must be ex-
ercised, or this post Office bone will inaugur-
ate such a row as will blow us out of water in
local ascendancy here. Turk- is the fellow
who has'pestercd your life out of you for a
year past for a place in Washington. He's
a horribly bitter cadet when not humored 'in
all he wants. We’ve throwu him a little bone
now and then, to stop his yelping at our heels
but it only stimulates his appetite. Then
Honnecker swears that nine-tenths of Our
democratic vote is cast by his countrymen,
and his Irish is up, and he's got to have
something besides promises this time. He's
a noiily, blating son of Erin, but scents the
game and “means business." Hisboy Spider
is just’the chap for money order clerk and as
all the work can be done by the family, he is
justified in his view that it would be a real
help to him. Besides, if we expect to retain
the solid Catholic vote in the future as we
have done in the past, we’ve got to recognize”
Honrieckcr’s claims. 0n the score of policy I
am for Honnccker for Postmaster, though it
will make our native democratic Rome howl.
Bill Hands, another Of our Hibernian pat-
riots wonld like it, but he does a good .bnsiz'
ness as Wet Grocer and ought to be‘satisfled._
Besides we‘ve made him Borough Burgess
and his father Justice of the Peace, and , he '
ought to stick to his gin mill for he can .do
more'there for the party in a week than he
could as postmaster during all Tilden's term.“
Joe Roberts is expecting it, but he’snow‘g'o't':
a place on our police with no work and good
pay, and that’s enough for him. Is there
such a thing as satisfying a hungry Irishman?
Bill Mitchell and Carl Weeks will . have to
divide up on the Borough 'cOllectorship.

HACKETTSTOWN. .
A-few days ago, in company with a con-
geninl friend we procured tickets at the foot
of Barclay. street, en route for Hackettstown,
New Jersey.- After a two and a half hours
ride on the Morris and. Essex R. R., through
a charming perti‘on of that dear little state,
we arrived at the place Of” our destination. if
” Hackettstown iss thriving village of about
’ 3,000 inhabitants, in the midst of beautiful
mountain scenery about 50 miles from N.~.Y.
and 20‘milesfrom Easton, Pa; , ' ' '
But the pride of HackettstoWn is the
“Centenary Collegiate Institutes" .situated' on
an eminence overlooking the ' entire village.
It was completed two years ago, is built of
brickand cost $175,000,130rdin'g accommo-
dations for 200 pupils. We were invited by
Dr. Whitney, the president, to spend some
time in the Institution, and, as we wahdered
through the magnificent building, we found
ourselves repeatedly humming the old re-
. fraln; “Oh, would I were a. boy again.”
For here, it seems to us, the paths Of learn-
ing are made a succession of delights.
The eastern wing of the Institute [is de-
voted to the young lady pupils, the 'western
to those of the other sex. It is heated
throughout by steam, lighted by gas,and
supplied on each floor with water conveyed
from springs amOng the neigboring mountains.
Therearealso bath rooms on each floor,
with hot and cold water for the use of the
students. A . flue gymnasium is another
feature of this admirable Institution. »
. We“ were present at morning prayer in the
beautiful chapel. Here were"'assembled
about-150 attractive young persons _Of both
sexes, forming a most beautiful scene. After
the responsive reading of a portion of the

‘For this reason, fishy should not every

' Friday afternoon We were permitted to
listen to the usual weekly exercises of decla-

so, as its superioradvantages become known.

A Connecticut” Hero in South
. Carolina.
Mr. Benj. P. Chatfield, formerly a promi«
nent citizen of Waterbury, in this state, and”
brother of the lamented'Col. John L. Chat-
field, of the 6th 0. v., killed in the war, is
now proprietor of a hotel at Aikens South
Carolina. He was always a strong democrat
at the North. Miss MarthaScofleld, a teach-
er of a colored school, at Aiken, in a recent
private letter to friends in New York, which
is printed in the Tribune, after detailing the
condition of affairs there, and speaking of
the fact that her family objected to - her re-
turning to Aiken this Winter, fearing for her
safety, says : >
"We who have been as leaders to this peo-
ple must not desert them in their hour of
need. I would be sorry to have my house
burned, but I am willing to lose my life if
necessary. I made up my mind'to this long
ago, and if justice and right will come
quicker” fer the sacrifice-I am ready. This
is my feeling, yet I do not think there is yet
any probability of personal injury. Twice,
hundreds of armed. and mounted white men
have ridden into Aiken ; the last time the
three companies of soldiers sent here met
and dispersed them ; the first time the blacks
hearing the signal to gather, flocked in,

but you must not open the attack. You
must not begin the fight. Separate in squads;

in frOnt Of'the pointed rifles and showed no
fear, though some were yelling, ' “Stand
aside, Mr. Chatfield, we don’t want to shoot
you. Stand aside." His answer was al-
ways, “Shoot me if you shoot at all; you
will kill me if you kill any.” His heroism

THOUSAND KORE VOTES CAST IN THE STATE
THAN EVER BEFORE—CONVINCING EYIDEIICI
O!" FRAUD.
[From an ooam'onal Correspondent]
, Hartman, Saturday, Nov. 18,1870.
The democratic leaders are so ready to
lively, that it is rather surprising that they
haveOverlooked one notable instance much
nearer-their head-quarters than New Orleans
or Tallahassee. If there ever was apresump-
tive case of fraudulent voting, the - state .of
Connecticut offers one in its last return, and
the evidence of it, after a little sifting, shifts
from presumptive to direct and conclusive.
The gentlemen who are now insisting, that the
president who inaugurated next March must
be shrouded with no suspi‘cionof getting the
high honor by fraud, will do well to give the
figures given below at least ‘a‘ hasty consider”-
ation. . Even that will convinces fair-minded
man. '

very nearly to one hundred and‘tw‘en'tyz-two
thousand. ‘ When this resultiwas aaiiouheed,
not only the people who ,tak‘ébut little5active
interest in politics, but the politicians—”those '
who supposed they could tell ”within” four or
five thousand votes what thetotal w’ouldbe—‘t
”were dumfounded. ' There is not a” mall to be
found in the State who is‘hohest, and who
had any knowledge ,Of affairs, political and
economical, who does not freely admit that.
the figures are fartOolarge to have been hon-
estly obtained. Such a balief, ifIrounded On
a surmise, should, ,of TcouI-se': have little
weight . when so grave or charge may hinge
upon it." A careful examination of the popu-
lation .of the State; of the previous record,
of votes cast; of the great gain Oh‘all Other”
totals has been made up, together rwitl'i a
knowledge of the ease with which,- under
the State laws, fraudulent voting may be
done, proves that no other belief could be
honestly entertained than that an immense ‘
fraudulent vote has been cast here. '
The largest vote ever cast in the State pre-
vious to the one of the: 7th, wssvin' April,1875,.
when the total vote for Governor was 100,983,
so that in a year and a half the vote .was in.-
creased some twenty-one thousand. The vote
in 1875 has always ”been regarded as suspi;
ciously large. Now, the average of voters in
the State to population hasbeen- about as one
to six. In 1870 it was a trifle larger than” this.
The census of 1870 gave the State 587,454 in-
habitants, an increase over the census Of 1880
of about seventy thousand, and this was the
largest increase for a decade ever reported,
with a single exception. The vote Of 1870
was nearly eightyonine‘thousand, which, mule
tiplied by six, gives 534,000 for the popula~
tion, showing that one to six is about the
right proportion. If we apply this test now,
we find that the population of the State, as
indicated by the vote of the 7th inst., is 782,-
000, an increase since 1870 of nearly 200,000,
and at this rate the population in 1880 will
, _be nearly 900,000. - That there has been any
painmenton the large organ recently purch- '
such an increase every one knows is absurd.
If the urshtieaisrflsz. Methionine,

been far more prosperous Elfin even the best
informed of its citizens had supposed. But
if we‘look at it in another way, this aston-
ishing growth is equally marvelous. Last
April the vote of the state was 97,889. In
seven months it has increased about'25,000.
Now, it was to have been expected that the
presidential vote would be larger than the
gubernatorial, but that it would be one-quar-
ter as large again was such an absurdity to
claim that one might as well have said that it
would have been doubled. Surely enough has
been given to show beyond reasonable
doubt that the vote Of the State is out of all
proportion to the population. Now, where
does this increase come from, and who is re-
sponsible for it? The Republican vote for
Prefident in 1872 and 1868 was nearly 51,600.
The Democratic vote for president in 1872
was nearly 46,000, and in-1808 nearly 48,000
the diflcrence representing .Democrats
who 'would not vote for Greeley. The Be-
publican vote, then, since 1872, has increased
about 7,000, the Democratic about 16,000;
or, allowing that 2,000 Democrats did not
vote in 1872 who did in 1808, the total is 14,-
000, or just double the Republican increase—
an absurdity on the face of it. Let us go
further, however, and see just where the Re-
publican get their increase, and where the
Democracy get theirs. Taking the twenty-
One largest cities and towns, and comparing
the vote with that of 1872, the following sig-
nificant result is obtained :
It will be seen that nearly 9,000 of the dem-
ocratic gain was Obtained in these .larger
places, 4,000 of it in Hartford, New Haven
and Bridgeport, while only 8,000 of the Re-
publican gain is obtained in the same places.
But if we examine the smaller towns and
farming villages, we find Republican gains of
from ten to twenty, thirty, &c. This is ex-
plained by two incentives. First,- there Was
awakened sentiment in all these places which
tended to bring out the Republican vote; and
further, the Chairman of the Republican
Committee, Hon. N. T. Sperry, had sent per-
sonal letters to many of the Republicans who
had been rather indifferent of late,” urging
them to come out and vote. This they did,
and it is in these, towns that the bulk of the
Republican gain. is found, and. is so widely'
distributed as at once tolprecludé the idea of
fraud. It also explains why the Republicans
won such a substantial victory in seem-ing
the Legislature, although the majority against
thgm last Spring was eighty-sixion joint hon.

The civil damage law, by which a wife or
child may recover damages from llQuo'r-sel-
lots for death or injury caused to a husband
or parent by their immoral trafilc, is‘not alto-
gether a dead letter in this State. At Pough-
keepsie, on the 5th instants; suit was brought
by a wife against ‘a liquor—dealer, claiming
five thousand dollars damages for losses sus-
tained by the death of herhusband, who it
was proved had drank five” times in quick
succession at the defendant’s bar, and died
soon after, and before reaching his home, of
congestion of the brain. . The jury rendered
a verdict-in favor of the wife, for eight hun-
dred dollars, and an: allowance of five per
cent. In the Circuit Court at Kingston, N.
Y., a similar case was tried, with the difler-
ence that the husband when drunk from im-
bibing at a rum-hole, upset his Wife from a
wagon, fracturing her wrist and otherwise
injuring her. The jury brought in ”a verdict
Of one hundred and seventy-five dollars dam-
ages. A few verdicts like these will touch
the rumsellers in their tenderest point, their
‘pOckets. And if temperance associations
generally would guarantee to then-hundreds
who are too poor to bring suit, the funds nec-
essary to prosecute such cases, an efiective
bar .would be placed in the way of the bran-
dy and whiskey ban—Ohrlbtl'anIntelligsneeru

Dear Sir—When about six months old I was vac-
cinated. The parties who were vaccinated from
the same virus died from the humor. The humor
spread over me to such an extent that! was rolled
in bran to prevent me from scratchln my person.
The disease finally settled in my lies . I remained
in this condition about twenty years. troubled all
the time with sores breaking in my head and dis-
charging corruption from my ear. At this time a
small kernel appeared on my neck. (gradually in-
creasing in use until a_ tumor tonne of such ini-
mense size I could see it by turningmy eyosdown-
ward. 'All this time I was taking various remedies
for my blood without any substantial benefit.
