As was the case with Senator Sumner and
Vice President Wilson, so with Senator Mor-
ton,his disease and his heroic battle with the in-
evitable and visible approaches of dcath,werc
identical.withithosel-‘of our own Senator Fer-

.. . .. ‘two compcers, because, as he said, its
symptoms were more stricty and exactly sim-
ilar to his. own. In the last interview the
‘ r hamwilh Senator Morton, his conver-
on was almost wholly concerning the last
ugs of Senator Ferry, and particularly re-
.n the one particular, that while his
' ..y:. nos more complete, his neuralgic
pains as excruciating and his dependence on
morphia as unaveiablc as Senator Ferry’s, he
still int-.1 a good digestion and aperfect as-
s Ezra of his food. From this, it was
c y to see that he was entertaining hopes of
mung, \ c of life, before the fatal malady
about i it h the vital functions, and his won-
derful frame and giant brain power succumb
to the adversary, paralysis. . V
In another respect was Senator Morto
moat tenderly allied to Connecticut. Of all
the great. “War Governors,” upon whom
Preside"? Lincoln relied during the dark days
of the rebellion, there were three whom he
most confidentially depended upon, adhered
to and trusted. These were Governor John
a. Amircws of Massachusetts, Wm. A Buck-
ingham of Connecticut and Oliver P. Morton,
" Indiana. This trio, were a tower of
gth in council as well as action, to Presi-
dent Lincoln, to whom he never appealed in
rain. The Marl yr President, never tired of
ing them out as especially entitled to his
. titude, nor hesitated to openly two“? a
. .so of his obligations to them.
More than any other Governor during the
war was Morton entitled to the Nations‘s
, .titudc. He was the youngest of all the
it galaxy of war Governor’s, save Rhoda
: His State was honeycombed with
and secret organizations threatening
dilation and open revolt. The other
states had at least loyal constituencies in
‘amnt numbers, but Indiana, of all the
' stat-es was the theatre of the most

herds of conspirators withinhis own borders,
as resolutely and defiantly as he battled the
rebels in his front. His democratic legisla-
ture refused him money to arm and equip
his soidiers, but he borrows on his own per-
sonal credit and sends six regiments to Wash-
iugton in six days, all ready to go to the
front, before other loyal states had started
enlistments at all. His vehemence and bit-
terness in speech, when assailing the enemies
of his country, were terrible, but in social
intercourse he was as tender and
affectionate as a child: This was one of the
elements of his greatest power. He always
had a large and an ardent personal following.
To none was his kindness more tenderly
shown than to the poor and the humble, and
no mourners will attend his funeral on Mon:
(lily more sinccrcly grieving for his loss, than
the two colored men, John Hunt, and John
Milan, who used to carry him to and from
the Senate door to his carriage, when here.
Smarting under the recollections of the
'. oyal action of the democracy of Indiana
he delivered his great spec-ch arraigning that
party of which over two million copies were
tied and distributed cre the demand for it
ceased. Such a circulation was never given
the emanation of any political leader.

Speaker Randall at last announced his com-
mittees, which have given less satisfaction if
possible than last year. The most notable
fact is that all New England gets not a single
Chairmanship. Poor Sam Cox, who so noisi-
ly blustered about as a rival for the Speaker-
ship, he has so completely snowed under as
to excite a degree of sympathy for the dapper
and genial little Congressman. Randall surc-
ly must have forgotten that forgiveness was
the revenge of magnanimous minds. By com-
mon consent Cox should have been made
chairman of the committee on Commerce.

the Republican, has assigned him the real
post of honor as he is on'the first and most

Judge Waite will find himself laboriously in-

Senator Barnum was again called away by
and Rep. Warner returned home for election.
Henry I. Hoyt and Geo. I. Buxton, Esqrs.,
of Nonvalk, are here. John A. Beckwith,
for many years a 4th class clerk in Treasury,
has resigned to return home to Norwich and
engage in business there. Major C. C. Snif-
fin, of Connecticut, so long secretary at the
White House, has, at his own request, been
relieved from his arduous duties, and expects
to be assigned to duty as a paymaster in
the army. A. H. Bissell, Esq, chief, Law
Clerk, of the Post Office Department, has
prepared a new Postal Law which meets the
hearty approval of the Past Ofiicc officials,
and will no doubt be enacted by Congress.
It obviates many of the perplexing details
and ambiguities of existing laws and greatly
simplifies the duties of postmasters. Senator
Jones’ “Silver Report," which is just out, is
challenging wide and approving attention.
The Senator has spent the entire congression-
al vacation upon it, and the report is the
clearest. as wellas the most comprehensive
and exhaustive treatise upon the precious
metals and their conversion into coin, ever
issued. It is sent for from all parts of
the Union, and numerous calls for it are
pouring in from Europe. Marshall Jewell
is expected here to-night. It is now believed
that a Commission will be created to repre-
sent the United States at the Paris Exposi-
tion, and that Gen. Hawley is most likely to
head it. The statement is also current that
President Hayes while making up his Cabi-
net seriously thought of inviting Gen. Haw-
1ey to accept the position of Secretary of
War.
The base ball season closed here this week
by a benefit game to Bannon, the old pitcher
for the Nor-walk Independents. It resulted
in a very handsome pecuniary testimonial to
the "curve pitcher” who has risen to great
popularity here. He has signed articles to
pitch for the Nationals next season, and Nick
Young, Secretary of the National Associa-
tion of Bali Players, pronounces Bannou the
best pitcher in America. The boys have se-
cured him a permanent situation in the
Treasury Department as an additional 1n-
dncement to remain, so that Bannon has not
only won the National “championship,” but a
wide personal popularity and good business
position; all of which must be exceedingly
gratifying to his former friends in Norwalk

Sheriff.
Our Republican friends in this county have
the best chance they have had in years to
elect their candidate for Sheriff. It only
requires all to come out and vote to secure
the triumphant election of Crosby.
“No License” went into operation last
Thursday. ‘Several dealersclosed their doors,
and the rooms which they occupied are to
rent. Others are selling light refreshments,
cider, beer, &c., and apparently waiting for
something better to turn up. We hope they
will find some honorable and lucrative em-
ployment.
Mr. Donovan’s case came up last week be-
fore the County Commsssioners, he having
hired two lawyers to plead his case. After
listening to their appeals the Commissioners
promptly voted the man no license. His,
case is to be carried to the Courts, and the
result will probably be large legal fees and
“no license.” The man is reputed to be
selling in contempt of the law and in defiance
of the community. In common justice to
those dealers who promptly closed their busi-
ness in obedience to law, and out of decent
respect to the community this man should be
mgde an example of at once, if the report is
true. .

do his best upon this occasion, and render
music seldom heard in this vicmity. He
will be assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Reed, of
Bridgeport, who will sing several choice
selections. The entertainment is for the
benefit of no individual but for the purpose
of raising funds towards paying for recent

attend, and that music-lovers from all parts
of the town and county will take advantage

Death of I. M. Sturgeé, Esq.
Isaac M. Sturges, Esq, one of the oldest
members of the Fairfield County Bar, died
suddenly at his home in Wilton, on Tuesday

Shortly after his admission to the bar he re-
moved to Newtown where be practiced for
years, then he removed to Bridgeport and-
has since continued to practice there. A year
or two since be determined to withdraw from
the active practice of his profession. After
closing up such business as he was then en-
gaged in, he removed his residence to Wil-
ton where he has since resided. However,
each day he went to Bridgeport to. attend to
his profession and labors.

office apparently in as good health as usual.
On that day he had assigned a case for trial

Mr. Sturges was a gentleman of great at-
tainments and culture, and during the period
of almost forty years that be practiced the
profession to which he was so fondly attach-
ed, he was always devoting his time and
energy almost exclusively to the acquiremcnt
of knowledge of the law. He by his energy
and ability a high distinction for his legal
acquirements. lle wasa man of strict . in-
tegrity and purity of character, and was
highly respected by his neighbors and by the
members of the Bar.
Mr. Sturges represented the Town of Wil-
ton in the last General Assembly, where he
took rank as one of the ablest and most
valuable members. It was his pride that he
rzpresented the same town in that body forty
years before, about the time he began his
professional life. ..
In his death the people of Wilton have lost
a valued friend, as he took a deep interest in
the welfare of that town.
He took a deep interest in the welfare, rep-
utation and high standing of the profession
which he loved, and which will regret his
loss. He was a sound and accurate lawyer,
with a practice probably second to none at
the Fairfield County Bar. And" he was
faithful in the discharge of all duties that de-
volved on him of whatsoever kind.
It was the expectation of the people of.

Election next Tuesday.
We hope that the people generally have
not lost si ht of the fact that our annual
State elect on is to take place next Tuesday,
November 6th. There is no governor to be
chosen and no State ofiieer; but a legislature
is to be elected. and this is by no means un-
important, Eleven Senators (in the odd
districts) and all the members of the lower
house are to be chesen; and a sheriff in each
of the eight counties. All those who have a
vote should go to the polls and cast it outhat
day. Recollect that it is a sacred dut . It
is an obligation .on our manhood, saving
aside the-fact'that it s the high privilege Of
citizenship. We exhort our fellow-country-
men to not neglect the performance of this
right. Stimulate others to do so; enco
now and hereafter those who are not citizens
to become such as soon as practiml ;. and fail
not on eve occasion to exercise each one
the perogattves that are ours asan American
Sovereign. Be one of le. The bal-
lot, in attaining grand resu ts, is more potent
than the bullet, and in casting it, be sure that
you do not waste it among petty divisions,
nettberthrow it away on worthless candi-
dates. Remember your friends. Remem-
ber those who do not scorn yourrace or reli -
ton. Beware of those who would divi e
your vote, and so weaken your influence to
attain good ends. There are those who
blandly smile on you these days that skulk
into know-nothing lodges under cover of
night. But, above all, do not fail to go to
the polls, and perform your duty like men
and citizens to the best of ‘ your judgment.

the Irish vote they could never carry an elec-

How this is accom-
plished is shown by a recent illustration,
which is a copy of the method practised in
Hartford,‘New Haven, and other cities where
Greenwich is an
old democratic town, and like all other
country towns both parties have heretofore
made their nominations in an open caucus to
which all voters were admitted. But it was
found that the Irish residents, who do the
bulk of the voting, were inclined to attend
the caucus and have a say about the candi-
dates. So the managers have decided that
hereafter they will hold a convention in place
of the caucus, and that each school district
shall send so many dele ates. In;this way a
district which has 0 y four fdemocratic
voters (the keeper of the poor-house and three
of the inmates,) has as much voice in the
convention as a. district witha hundred demOe
erotic majority. or course this brings the
Irish district into a weak minority in the
convention and enables the managers to fix
things to suit themselves. In'this way the
select few do the nominating while the un-
do the electing. It's a very

was Neptune Anniversary.
The interest manifested in the Neptune
Club by its members is certainly not on the
wane. The annual reunion, held at “the
Norwalk Hotel on Wednesday evening last,
was very largely attended—about fifty per-
sons being present,-—and certainly the club .
never enjoyed a pleasanter reunion. The
business meeting was harmonious, and the
old officers were unanimously reelected ac-
cording go the custom of the club. The dln'
not by mine host Rood was a general surprise,
and exceedingly creditable to the Hotel lar.
der. Certainly the members and their guests
enjoyed the tempting viands so profusely
offered. After this substantial reposta feast
of reason and flow of soul followed
in the parlors. This band of brothers are
certainly gifted with silver speech. In re-
sponse to calls from the Secretary, many
happy speeches were made, songs were sung,
and wit and humor abounded, while the ut-
most good naturc prevailed. The reminis-
cences of cruises and reunions were amusing
and interesting even to strangers. Ministers,
lawyers, editors, merchants vied with each
other in making the best. speeches, and the
result was one of the most interesting reun.
ions we ever attended. We missed some
few of the bright lights of the club who gave
brilliancy to former anniversaries—Wood-
ward, Bissell, Gibson, Willis and others—
but ifthey had been present the reunion
would hardly have closed before daylight.
At one o‘clock, however, Commodore
Tompkins, took the floor, and closed
in one of his enthusiastic addresses, after
which Rev. Mr. Adams led in singing several
songs,accompanying on the piano. Altogether
the re-union Was one long to be remembered.
A Washington correspondent of the Boston
Herald rega_rds Senator David Davis as the
most interesting member of the Senate, and
compares him with the late Senator Orris S.
Ferry. Senator Davis, he says, “has such a
mind and will exercise in the Senate that pe-
culiar and admirable kind of power that was
wielded by Sumner and Schurz, and after
them by Ferry of Connecticut, who was a
sharper and more pungent reasoner than
either of them. Ferry had a great power of
trenchant statement, and Judge Davis has
the same power, perhaps in even a. superior
degree.” The tribute to Senator Ferry is no
more than he deserved. In all the qualities
that make up the highest intelligence and the
most practical statesmanship he was vastly
the superior of Senator Sumner. His untime-
ly death was a great loss both to the Nation
and the State—Palladium.
