. .4 Nowell: Gazette. Tuesday, October 23rd, 1877. Correspondence of the Gazette. EDITORIAL LETTER. _ , Wasnmcrox, October .Wlhl,18774 ,. Dam Gaza'r'ra :——The extra session of the Forty-Fifth Congress has thus far developed only the great probability thatit will run up and into the regular December session. Some members, whose remote residences make their mileage as much a pecuniary object as their salaries, desire an earlier adjournment, so that they may, constructively at least. draw extra mileage. ; But a majority of both Houses now feel a degree of certainty that all of next month will be consumed in dis- cussions growing out of contested member- ships in either House, and the Army. Appro- priation Bill. Then the variOus silver schemes are sure to be thrust in to prolong the session, and all in all, the probability of being able to adjourn before December is ex- ceedingly remote. Randall’s easy walk over the course for the Speakership, seems to have left the House in an unusually amiable mood. The Poor Doorkeeper, Mr. Bell, of Missouri, has been so beset for places that he is well nigh on the verge of insanity. The Speaker very quietly slipped over to his home in Philadelphia, where he could make out his new roll of com- mittees free from the dictation and boreings of his partisan friends. Representative Warner has a Washington boy on his hands whom he desires to have appointed page, while Mr. Landers is doing all he can to secure a deputy doorkccper‘s position for our old dancing friend, Corbu- sier, of Bridgeport, while a Daubury lady is doing all she can with Senator Barnum to get her little sou appointed to a pageship. ’l‘hc pull and haul for place is just as deter- mined, but ‘not so brutal and indecent as up- der the administration of the “bigger man than old Grant,” who was Doorkeeper at the last Congress. One of the toughest specta- cles to witness is the struggle for the chap- laincy, caucus night. There were some seven or eight candidates in the field, with printed ballots, which are circulated by pages and in- terested members, while the virtues, piety and ability to address eloquent prayers to an inattentive House, are all pathetically stated in the interest of the candidates by the mem- bers acting as advocates nnd ,sparrers for the parsons. Our Connecticut chaplain of last year, lost his reelection, it is stated, in con- sequence of his unwillingness to cut short the printed form of his prayer book. “But then,” remarked the faCetious Landers to us, “we always knew what was coming, and if we chanced to be otherwise engaged during prayer time, all we had to do was to ejaculate ‘them's my sentiments,’ audit was all right.” This time a Methodist brother won the con- test, and while there is less certainty as to the nature of his petitions, we have not been able to note any improvement in reverent at- tention pending his supplications. At the seat drawing Messrs. Landers, Phelps and Wait were so fortunate as to get advanced-to the front, while our Mr. Warner was again left to the rear. This is all the more to be regretted when it is considered how much an eligible seat has to do with securing the prominence and influence of a member. Mr. and Mrs. Senator Eaton are quietly domiciled at their last Winter’s residence, and both suffering from severe colds brought with them from Connecticut. Senator Bar- num received telegraphic notice, Thursday, of his daughter being attacked suddenly and severely with diphtheria, and he left last eve- ning for home. ; General J. R. Hawley is here, looking after matters appertaining to the settlement of his Centennial Exhibition affairs. Gen. S. W. Kellogg is also here, with business before the Patent Office. He leaves to-night to visit his son, a naval cadet at Annapolis. Jas. C. Mowry, of Norwich, is also in town, with quite a large number of more or less promi- nent citizens of our State. The Senate is just now absorbed in the Louisiana question, and will doubtless spend weeks in discussing the relative legal merits of the senatorial contestants from that State. It has revised all its old standing commit- tees that were in force at the end of last Spring’s executive session, and quite a volume of business has already been referred to these respective bodies for consid- eration and report. The Senate Committee on Patents propose a hearing on the question of a radical revision of the Patent Laws, on or about the 1st of November. Several of the most noted patent attorneys and inventors of the country will be here in attendance upon that most important meeting. The greatest solicitude is felt here for the result of Senator Morton’s illness. His malady is the same as that with which the late Sen. ator Ferry was afflicted. Senator McDonald, Mr. Morton’s colleague, did honor both to his head and heart by offering a pair should he feel well enough to reach Washington and not wish to remain steadily in his seat in the Senate. This kindly return of a courtesy Gov. Morton had himself accorded McDon- ald, at a time when illness in his family made his absence necessary, greatly incensed some of the democrats of Indiana. The trouble in the case, says the Indianapolis Journal, is that Senator McDonald desires to be a gen- tleman and at the same time maintain his popularity with Indians democrats. The Connecticut delegation is full. Gov. Waite is at his old quarters on 13th street, and Judge Phelps at his last year’s boarding house on 4; Street. Landers and Warner at the Riggs House—the newest and best host- lery in the city. Senator Barnum is domicil. ed at the Arlington, and Senator Eaton at his last session’s home, at the corner of 17th and L Streets. The nomination of General Harlan, ofKen- tucky, to the vacant place on the 'T. S. Su- preme Court Bench, is received with quite general approval and it is not doubted but that he will be confirmedly by the Senate, al- though President Grant had seven or eight rejections of candidates sent in by him for a similar position. 4 - The National Coast Survey ofilce is now -1ngaged in a scientific investigation of Oys- vlr Cultivation. A vessel has been detailed l make soundings and collect specimens of lo Chesapeake Bay’s bottom, whereon the yster grows most prolifidly. The schooner . almurus has just returned from making ”lese observations. It is under the direction of Professor J. E. Hilgard, who has tested 'he saltness and density of the waters. It is .is intention to extend his tests as far north .s Maine and another year. the harbors of Da- ien, Norwalk and Westport will receive the professor's attention. The special object of he work ls to determine the quality of the vater and the kind of bottom in which oysters reach the greatest perfection. When all the data tobe furnished as the resultof thisinvcs- tigation is published, it will be of great value to those interested in the propagation of oys- ters. Five hundred and seventy specimens of :water were taken at one hundred and forty; eight stations from Havre de Grace to points fifteen miles outside the capes. Specimens from the bottom of the bay were obtained at each station and preserved in-bottles and jars, ‘o be turned over to the chemical department )f the coast survey office, where the contents will be subjected to analysis, just as soils are subjected to similar processes in the interests ofagriculture by the agricultural department. [he density of the water is obtained on board. An instrument used in the work was donated by Lieutenant Frederick Collins, United States Navy. It is a cup holding a pint,clos- ing aibtight on a cap, and worked with a rod and spring. Our Norwalk oystermeu will be specially interested and ought to be profited by this scientific exploration. Since the rep- ..utatiou of our bivalves has become world. wide-and commanded a higher price than all others;in all markets from Liverpool to Lou-y isiana, it is a subject of no slight importance to our local property. AsEvero 13- # Business appears quite brisk at our dry goods stores. . ing of Wednesday, October 3lst. Election _ Matters. The Selectmen and Town Clerk will hold sessions this week for the admission of new voters. They will act only upon such names as have been properly registered. No person who has neglected to be registered need ap- ply. Thetime for receiving new applications was up last Friday, 01d voters in town, who have been away and returned, can vote by applying to the Registrars and showing them their right to be registered. The registrars will be in ses‘ sion twice this week. for the revision and correction of the voting lists. See the ofii cial notices. Printed copies of the Voting Lists will be circulated in this town, during the week, in accordance with the new law. Persons knowing of voters whose names are still on the list but have removed from town, or of old voters whose names are not on but who are entitled to be registered, should notify the Registrars.

J., is to deliver a Memorial Address on the late Rev. Dr. Hall, at the First Presbyterian Church, Auburn, N. Y., on Thursday of this week. Other addresses will be made at the same time by other friends. Rev. Dr. Atwater was formerly a pastor in Fair-field and was well acquainted with the early life of Dr. Hall. The Memorial Services are held under the di- rection of the Faculty of Auburn Seminary, with which Dr. Hall was ofiicially connected. The Selectmen of Darien, it is reported, have decided to grant liquor licenses to resi- dent dealers but to no new comers. This will prevent the increase in the number of places in which liquor will be sold,but will probably not prevent the increase in the sale of the ar- dent, simply giving the monopoly of the bus- iness to their own residents. Parties from adjoining towns will probably soon pour their money into Daricn coffers. ' ————— PERSON A L. day. Mr. L. L. Beebe, of Bridgeport, formerly so well known here as a confectioner, was in town last Thursday. Collector Burr Smith and wife have just returned from a ten days’ trip over the New York Midland Railroad. Mr. Joseph W. Fairbanks,'Principal of the Worcester High School and formerly Princi- pal of our Center District School, was in greetings from many old friends. Mr. Eben Hill has returned from his visit to the Lake Superior copper regions. During the trip he picked up several orders for the Iron Works pumps, which are very popular in that vicinity,and in fact almost monopolize the market. Probably three times as many of the Norwalk pumps are used in the mines of that section as of all other kinds combined.

At Lockwood’s Hall, Tuesday evening Oct. 23, at 8 o'clock; the Ladies’ Temperance Union, having secured the valuable services of ELI JOHNSON, Eso., extends an invita- tion to the Friends of Temperancefthc Rum- seller and his Victims, and to all others that feel interested, to be present and listen to facts never before uttered by any lecturer or speaker upon the temptrauce rostrum. Mr. JOHNSON will show up the rum-seller’s “tricks in trade." With his “Magic Tin Box" (such as is used by traveling agents of whole- sale liquor dealers) hc shows how' almost ev- ery kind of intoxicating drink is made, both in England and America, without any of the genuine article. Recipes for manufacturing fine brandies, whiskies and choice wines, “that will do their work in the shortest pos- sible time,” and costing] almost nothing, and no government tax to pay either.

An interesting feature of the meeting will be sketches of successful The Romnncc ofa Poor Old Man. The formerly highly esteemed and much fawned upon “Boss" gentleman of New York, has recently presented a statement of his receipts and expenses since 1871. Before the little exposure which led him to ask the question “What are you going to do about it 7’” he considered himself worth fully $3,- 000,000 and enjoyed the reputation of having secured unlimited wealth. He lived in the style of a man who could not spend the in- terest of his money. , His family turned in to-assist, and he- says that this “family ex- penses,” niche, for three years, amounted to $180,000, while the family expended in a trip to Europe in -one}of the same years, the modest 'sum of $80,000. Few' “American Princes” spend $60000 per year, ‘forfIthree successive years, in: simply family expenses. It must have cut his folks awfully to .come down to hard pan so suddenly. 'When it be- came advisable'for him to “realize” something on his real estate for an emergency, be ex- perienced fearful losses; aggregating‘he says over one million of dollars. Some folks must have secured pretty good bargains. He spent in his vain attempt to get away from the inevitable, the sum of $00,000—a modest fortune in itself. .But perhaps his most ex- pensive and foolish luxury was his indul- gence in lawyers. He says they gobbled up $445,000, which was dbing- pretty well for the limited time for which they were employ- ed. Undoubtedly they would have done a little better if _Mr. Tweed had retained more money ready at hand. Judging’; from the benefits be derived from their able services, he probably thinks he paid pretty dear for the whistle. In accordance with the spirit of the times in which he lives he now pleads poverty, and hereafter is willing to be “poor but honest,” if he can only be free. # The annual meeting of the State Teachers’ Association is to be held in Hartford this Week, commencing on Thursday and closing Saturday. On Thursday, Rev. W. M.

Free return tickets will be issued over the Dan- bury Road, and the New Haven Road will sell-tickets .at half-fare for round trip to those ; Sheriff. I The Democracy nominated Aaron Sanford, Esq., of Newtown, on Thursday'last, as their Sanford is an old singer who has sought and fought for the nomination for the last twelve or fifteen years, but whoat each convention has had to step aside for “a better man.” Now that he has got the nomination, perhaps the independent voters of the county will take it into their heads to say nay to his life- long ambitidn, and quietly shelve him. They can do it if they try. Will they try? It will be seen from the list of Deputies published herewith of those holdingthe position for the last twelve years, that Sanford has been all along a feeder at the public crib, as a. Deputy, and it does seem as though it was about time :he stepped down and out and made room for lsome other man; he has had his full share of public ofiices. The Sheriff is elected for a term of three years. The present incumbent is Geo. W. Lewis, of Bridgeport, and his Deputies are Alf. A. Heath, Sellcck N. Osborne, Samuel Pike, John Dayton, Gideon M. Wakelee, Wallace Dunn, ‘Aaron Sanford, Charles Adams, Nelson J. 'Craw, Stephen N. N ew- man, Abijah McEwen, J. Lewis Hunt, Rufus D. Cable. ‘ ' : ,Edward A. Leeds. of Stamford, held the position for two terms, six years, next pre- ceediug Lewis, and his Deputies were, Geo. W. Lewis, Alf. A. Heath, Selleek N. Osborne, S. N. Newman, Gideon M.‘ Wakelee, Aaron Sanford, J r., Theodore Scarles, R. A. Leeds, Abijalr McEwen, Samuel Pike, Rufus. D. Cable, E. Sherwood, J. L. Hunt, David Lewis. Matthew ,Bulkley was Leeds predecessor and his Deputies were, Geo. W. Lewis, A. A. Heath, Sellcck N. Osborne, E. Sherwood, David Lewis, Aaron Sanford, J r., Harvey Fitch, Edward A. .Leeds. It will be seen by scanning the above list that the same set has held continued sway for the last twelve or fifteen years. Now haven't they fed at the public crib long enough. Hadn‘t the principle of rotation ought to be applied to thorn and some new men given a chance to hold publicofiices? At the State election last fall, the vote on Senators in the 7* three districts in this county, viz :—-the 10th, 11th, and 12th, showed only 1107 majority for the democrats. Now this majority can be overcome by per- sistent work and by the aid of independent people will only take hold of it with— a will. Will they do it ? * .

Manager Knapp has engaged the popular Reader, Miss Helen L. D, Potter, to give one of her enjoyable entertaiumEnts at Music - Hall, next week Tuesday evening. S'ae is so well and favorably known in this vicinity that no commendatious are needed from us. To show how wide her reputation is, howev- er, aud what is thought of her in other pla- cos, we copy the following fromga long arti- clc in 'Muscatine Journal, Indiana :— “Her apperauce and manner at once won the favor of her audience. She is a lady of probably thirty-five years, of medium height, fine, full figure,handsome face,expressive fea- tures, and a voice of remarkable purity and compass. After an evening with her one feels somewhat as if he had been entertained suc- cesssively by the eloquence of'Murdoclr, the ' tragedy of Siddous, the'humors of Alf. Bur- nett, the drollcries of Andrews, and the pa- thos and power of Gough. Added to her rich voice and expressive, plastic face, she possesses the gift of ventriloquism—the ap- parent ‘throwing’ of the 'voice, as .iu the chime of bells, echoing sounds, etc., which aid hcr wonderfully in her peculiar style of performance.” National Congregational Council. : The week, was attended by about three hundred delegates.

In the columns of our local journal it was announced that troubles had commenced, and there was to be a contest for the possession of a petty office in the gift of the Board of Councilmen. If report is true there is likely to be a contest in regard to “Registrars." In 1876 our city charter was hurriedly amended, and in January, 1877, the General Assemby amended the election law providing that “Each town shall choose at the annual town meeting. by general ticket, registrars of voters, to hold office one year from the first day of the’succceding January.” Each reg- istrar shall be present during the taking of town meeting, or city election in his town or district.

The somewhat isolated residents and tax- payers of West Monroe street, near the nur- sery, are truly grateful for the attention which the highway in front of their premi- ses has received from the powers that be, and would feel more grateful if the work could be completed, so as to enable them, without the command of the council, to grade their side-walks. It would be well to have the bushes out now standing on the north walk of East Monroe street. " A sad and fatal accident befel George E. Smith, son of Mr. Smith of the firm’of Bou- ton 85 Smith. It appears that young Smith had started on a gunning ”expedition, and while crossing the fields alone, and when climbing a fence, he slipped or fell, causing the double-barrel gun, which he held on his shoulder, with the barrel downward, to dis- charge, one charge-lacerating his body, the other entering his bowels, making a wound large enough for the surgeon to insert three fingers. He was taken to the residence of Wm. Mayhew, where'jDr. Pardee attended him, and his parents and friends did every- thing possible to restore him, but without avail. He died on Friday night. _ The marriage of Miss Hattie Downs to Mr. Frank W. Smith was solemnized at the resi- dence of the bride’s parents on West street, Revs. Dunning and Simonson ofiiciating.
