Dun Gaza-rm: :— '
The Silver Bill has been the subject of
chiefest interest in, and out of _Congre'ss,,the
past week. , Last evening a vote was reached
on the Stanley {Matthews resolution, and it
was carried by‘43 to fizz—just :one vote less
than two-thirds. Mr. Edmunds made an
able argument against it, but its passage by a
very large majority was conceded from the
beginnino. ' There were thirteen senators ab-
sent and not voting, and the silver men are
greatly elated at, the result and argue there-
from a Certain victory over a possible presi-
dential veto, when the vote on the Bland
Itill, pure and simple, comes to be the test
question. This “Bland Bill" enacts into law
the financial doctrines merely declared by the
Matthews’ resolution. It is thought, too, by
many, that the very large vote by which the
Matthews’ measure has passed the most con-
scrvative branch of the legislative depart-
ment of the government, coupled with the.
author's well-known intimacy and influence
with the President, will induce the latter
to give the Silver Bill his reluctant assent
rather than to place his individual judgment
in opposition to so overwhelming a majority
of the people’s representatives. Others, who
know the Presirh nt’s peculiarities of charac4
ter, say that in any matter where his own
convictions of right are grounded, he is as
stubborn as a government mule, and the more
effort is made to dislodge him, like that same
historical mule, the more firmly will he set
himself back in the breeching ; certain it is,
that it is the overshadowing question of the
hour and transcends party and geographical
lines. The excitement in many cases has run
into bitter, personal feuds nnd estrangements.
\Our own Senator Eaton made but a fair ex-
hibit of thestate of feeling existing among
"brethren of the same political schoo ," when
he abruptly declined to sign arequest torhavc
Dan. Vorhees lecture on Jefferson, at meat
the local churches here. The “Tall Syca-
more of the Wabash Valley," ashis enthusi
astic admirers call him, had delivered before
the Senate one of his finest, open prairie ora-
tions,gauged to the calibre of the rag-tag-and
bob-tail voter. It was full of fine declama—
tion and false premises. Asreplete with fas-
cinating oratory as it was of thin sophistries
and mischicvious deductions. And no man
is a more complete master of _all the sedue
' tive and misleading arts of the demagogue
than Vorh‘ees. The next day after his Sen.
ate effort, Mr. Eaton was asked. to sign, as
other Senators had done, the complimentary
petition. “No, I wont!” replied‘our Sena-
tor, as stubbornly as a spunky woman. “Any
man who will run off such a mess of mis-
chief and d—n nonsense, in the American
Senate, shan’t: have my name to assist him to
any more notoriety.” Mr. Eaton was right,
and it required both courage and love of hon-
(st'principle to administer such a rcbufi to
so prominent a leader in his own party.
The saddest part of all this ntruggle- and
uncertainty is the terribly destructive cfiect
it, is having upon all the business interests of
the Nation. The present Congress had it in
its power to have relieved the financial paral-
ysis of the country, "months ago. It has
failed to do, it, and now it is greatly to be
feared that the last state is destined to be
worse than the first. Said a large manufac-
turer in our hearing, “could the people only
he assured that Congress would disperse and
not meet again in five years, the business life
of the Nation would come back again and we
should at once enter upon an era of uncxam
pl'ed commercial prosperity. ' There is noth-
ing the thoughtful business man dreads so
much, said he,as the convening of Congress.”
And the criticisms and complaints are un-
doubtedly just and not a whit exaggerated.
Til-e3 7 ' . ' or ways
and Means to overhaul and revise the tariff.
Nobody, of course, knows when and what or
how such an attempt is to end. Business men
find it utterly impossble to know how or
what to purchase, when legislation is
pending relating to the currency and the
tariff, which may and probably will, upset
all previous estimates of values. And from
soon a Congress, may not: the people with an
agony implore, “Good Lord deliver us."
In the House, yesterday, the reduction of
the tax on whiskey was spiritedly discussed
as a matter of course. Mr. Wait, of Con-
necticut, asked Mr. Tucker, of Virginia,
(who had charge of the Bill) if the manu-
facturers didn’t add the tax to the price of
thei r products, so that after all it was paid by
the consumers? This nettlcd the Virginian
into a lame attempt at smartness, and he re-
plicd by asking our Representative “If ten
dollars were added to the price of wooden
nutmegs, would the people pay it f” “Of
course,” quickly responded Mr. Wait, “the
l'i‘rgz‘m‘a consumers and not the Connecticut
manufacturers would then pay the tax,” and
the House broke into roars of laughter at
Old Dominion’s discomtiturc. It is thor-
oughly well understood here, that the repub-
lican end of Connecticut’s delegation is
abundantly able’to take care of itself.
We have had two of the liveliest sort of
funerals here on record. One, was the f une-
ral obsequies affected at the Catholic Cathe-
dral over the death, of Italy’s King, Victor
Emanuel. There was a high and imposing
catafalque erected in front of the altar, sur-
mounted with a very costly, but of course
empty casket. Wax candles, four feet in
length, were burned around it,and thousands
of dollars worth of white rose buds and ex-
otic fiowers scattered all about the pile. The
mass and anthem singing and organ music
were of the sublimest character known tow
the Romish’ church. The President and
heads of Departments and Congress, with
the Army and Navy and the full Diplomatic
corps, were represented, while not less 'than
ten thousand of the populace stood outside
unable to gain an entrance to the immense
church. The Marine Band was stationed on
the porch and at intervals rendered some of
its most artistic music.
The next. funeral occasion was the presen-
tation to congress of the statue of Maine’s
first Governor, Wm. King, to the Old Hall
of Representatives. In the course of his
otherwise appropriate address , Senator
Blaine revived the History of his State’s
separation from Massachusetts and the latter
states rather surly treatment of her scccding
daughter. It was quite generally deemed
ill-timed and out of place, but it none the
less, made things very lively on the republi-
can side of the Senate Chamber, for a season.
Senator Dawes and Hour resented and re-
pelled the attack upon Massachusetts with
justifiable spirit. The sharp antagonism is
very generally regretted and deemed by all,
to have been in the worst of taiste on such
an occasion. The universal interpretation is
that Blaine being well sustained by the his-
torical facts, improved the occasion to re-
compense Massachusetts for her bad faith
and worse conduct towards'him at the Cin-
cinnati Convention. Some assert there is a
secret history which specially nettlcd Blaine,
and that is, that his own friends in Massa-
chusetts were at special pains to have Senator
Hoar made a delegate to Cincinnati because
of his avowed preference for Mr. Blaine as a
Presidential candidate and that when he got
there, Hoar proceeded to sell him out and
ensure his defeat with all the freezing in-
difference of the modern “independent
statesman.” As we have previously remark-
ed, the affair constituted the liveliest funeral
occasion we ever attcndcd. Our Senator, Mr.
Eaton, (Mr. Barnum was not present) lost
one of the best chances he will ever have of
making a happy hit and capturing the ap-
plause of an interested crowd in the gallery.
When the two belligerent statesmen waxing
hottest. over their patriotic and unputriotic
events in the war of 1812-and both states
claiming the glories of the naval fight and
victory off the , shores of Mainc,he should
have rushed boldly between the angry
athletes and announced the historic fact that
neither Maine .or Massachusetts had cause
for pride or quarrel over this incident
because the skipper who commanded this
naval engagement belonged to Connecticut!
Senator~ Eaton was tempted to make the
interruption, it is only fair to say, but then
he became, we presume, so interested in ' the
family quarrel of his political opponents,
thatlike the Hoosier whose wife fought the
hear, he lost all interest. asto who should
win the battle and so lost this grand oppor-
tunity.
The Senate com
mittee on commerce, at its
meeting on Thursday. agreed to report. ad-
versely on the nomination of George William-
son to be ' collector of the port of New
Orleans. Both of the Louisiana Senators
opposed Williamson’s appointment, and have
done their best to secure his defeat in the
Senate, and now with the powerful aid of
Senator Conkhng, it is said, the Senate again
triumphs over the President. But he gets
in a Roland for the Senate‘s Oliver, if the
following statement proves true, as is-now
asserted. ThePrcsidcnt snubbed the Con~
gressional politicians in two notable instances
yesterday; first, in his appointment of Van
Zandt to be chief justice of Utah. The
Michigan delegation got information that the
President contemplated giving that office to
Michigan. They helda caucus, which was
attended by all the members except Senator
Christiancy. A candidate for the office was
agreed upon, and his name was sent to the
President. Subsequently Senator Christisncy
went to the White House and named Van
Zant for the place, and he .was nominated.
In Maine two offices were vacant. The
Maine delegation urged the President to.
retire one, and retain the other. The Presi-
dent indicated that such recommendation
being in accordance with his civil service
policy, he would be glad to heed it. Next,
the delegation indicated its preference as to
who shouldbe retained, and communicated
the fact to the President. Yesterday the
President surprised the delegation by reliev-
ing the one recommended to be retained, and
retaining the one recommended to be retired-
There is no disguising the fact that the
breech is widening between the White House
and Capital.
Mr. Spofford the able and erruditc Libra-
rian of Congress, presented yesterday, his
annual report at the first meeting of the Joint
Committee on the Library. It exhibits an
increase of 20,021 volumes during the year
1877, besides a large quantity of pamphlets,
periodicals, musical compositions, 'maps, en-
gravings and other works of art. The
Library new numbers 831,118 volumes, and
110,00.) pamplets. The librarian exhibits the
fact that in its~ present confined quarters it
has become increasingly difficult and at times
impossible to accommodate the readers who
throng the library, and the embarrassment
of producing books and information from the
accumulated heaps is constantly growing.
Nearly 70,000volnmcs are now piled upon
the floors. The point is made that Congress
having invited by liberal legislation the con-
sultation and use of the library of the govern-
ment by all citizens, and having gathered at
the Capitol an immense and invaluable
library, owes it to itself to remove the ob-
structions which now restrict its usefulness,
both to members of Congress and to the pub-
lic, and to put. a stop to the increasing injury
to the books themselves.

. Result of the Liquor Trials.
Len. aquoxovm Fonxn Guru-rm. ‘
The Donovan liquor case, which was on
trial‘when we went to press last ' week, was
brought to a close on Wednesday last; when
it was announced that a deeision,--to-,
gether with a decision in the Isaac
Lee case,—.—would be rendered on Saturday
S'rnan'r read his decisions, in which he found
both parties guilty, on both counts—-rcpute
and selling. Both cases appealed. '
At our‘reqnest, Justice STUART has per-
mitted us to print his decision in the Lee
case, in full,-as follows :—
The suits of the State rs. Isaac Lee and
State as. J. Donovan have excited an unusual
degree of interest, as evidenced by the crowds
in attendance during the protracted hearings
which have occupied thc'week past at the
Town Hall. , ,
In the argument of counsel for the accused
allusion was made to the personnelof the
Court to cheat that the antecedents of the
J usticc holding the Court were suggestive of
conviction. It is proper for me to say that
had "I been sensible of any bias which Could
have interfered with a full and impartial ex-
amination of the accused touching matters
alleged in the complaint, I should have refus-
ed to sign tlnuvarrant which the informing
officer called upon me to sign,and would cheer-
fully have submitted to the penalty for such re-
fusal rather than to have entered upon this ex-
amination under the influence of any prejudice
whatever, and I may dismiss this allusion
with the statement that of the eight suits of
similar character which I have been called
upon to adjdiucate, three have been dismissed
and the accused discharged for want of evi.
dencc beyond the admission of a doubt of the
guilt of such accused persons.
The complaint of the State or. Isaac Lee
contains two counts. The first charges him
with the crime of keeping, on the 8th day of
January, a house, store, 'shop, saloon in
which for a long time previous it had been,
then was, and still is reputed that spirituous
liquors and intoxicating liquors, ale, lager
beer, and Rhinewine are kept without having
a license, therefore against the peace of the
Sale, of evil example, and contrary to the
statute in such case made and provided.
To prove» the reputationof Mr. Lee's store
or saloon, the State has introduced many wit
nesscs, most of them claiming to be in busi-
ness in the Borough, some of them within
sight of Lee’s saloon, and all. of them, with
a single exception, testify that the reputation
of his place is, that he is reputed to keep a
place where spirituous and intoxicating
liquors are kept for sale. The exceptiOn is
that of Mr. Fancher, who swore that he did
not know but the reputation was that of
a Temperance saloon, while one of the wit-
nesses swears that sincethe 8th of December
he thinks he has been in Lee’s place three
times, that he saw a bar, bottles and tumblers
upon the shelves, saw men drinking beer
there—that at one of his calls Mr. *Lee set a
tumbler on the bar, took a bottle from under
the counter, and the witness took a glass of
gin. _ ‘ ‘
_Thc witnesses for the State have been,
subject to a protracted cross examination
and while for the most part they have not
given names of persons with whom they
have converscd, nearly all claim that their
knowledge of Mr. Lee’s place has come to
them through the ordinary channelsof busi-
ness, and that the reputation of his place as
testified to is an accepted and accredited fact.
The second count charges Mr. Lee with
selling and offering for sale and exchange
spiritous and intoxicating liquors without‘a
license. To prove thischarge the State have
introduced, Marcus S: Smith, who swears
that he stopped at Mr. Lee‘s several nights,
spoke with Mr. Lee, heard him called Lee,
Saw sign up with the name Ike Lee; heard
on people, saw bottles on the shelves and
people drinking there ; has taken meals there
and paid Mr. Lee, and at other times the man
"employed there, had bought what was called

chiefly on a “gold basis." One of the wed-

”W
Important Town Meeting.
A special Town Meeting has been called
for next Friday afternoon, to consider two
petitions, both of which are .of importance.
The first, in regard to tramps, will probably
mect with general approval, for however
distasteful it may be to provide for these
gentry at public Expense, something should
be done to relieve the people, at th_cir homes,
of what has become to be an intolerable
nuisance. Until some better plan is devised»
we know of nothing better than the way
adoptcdlast‘vcar'oflodg'ng and feeding all
'who come, at the Town Lock up. It will
cost the Town money, it is true, but nothing
like as much as it will otherwise cause the
individual families of the ToWn, to say noth-
ing of what will be gained in safety and
freedom from annoyance on the part of the
people. If any arrangement can be made by
which the gen‘ ry can be induced to labor to
help pay the cost of the meals served, so
much the better. ‘
. The second object is also one of importance,
and should receive fair consideration from
all who really have the interests of the Town
at heart. It is simply to provide more com
modious rooms ,for the Town officials, and
by so doing afford better accommodations to
all for the transaction of public business.
The room at: present in use is abundantly
good enough, and is conveient, but is entire-
ly too small. If used simply by the Town
Clerk nothing better could be desired. Now,
however, this single room is used by all man.
nor of Town officials, and Clerk, Selectmen,
Collector, Assessors, Registrars of Voters,
SchoolVisitors, &c., are all huddled together.
Often the room is crowded with people con:
sulting the Selectmen or clerk, ‘tax payers
paying taxes or examining their iieighbors'
assessments; paupers applying for aid or
waiting for their monthly orders, lawyers,
cashiers and other interested parties hunting
up the Records, etc. Strangers coming in at
such times, on business, bitterly complain
and go away talking about the niggardliness
of the Town in providing such accommoda-
tions. The Boards of Assessors and Relief
are forced to hire rooms outside at Town ex-,
pense, because they cannot do all of their
business in such a place. Herctofore this
has been put up with because suitable rooms
could not be had in the village without large
expense. Now, however, excellent and
commodious rooms can be had at a -very
reasonable price, in the new building of
Curtis & Weeks, west of the Norwalk Hotel.
These gentlemen having been applied to,
offer to erect a suitable vault and rent ' their
commodious rooms to the. town at a rate we
understand, but little larger than the T0wn
now pays. By taking these rooms the Town
would also gain a fine Court. Room—some-
thing which is growing to be. an absolute

These, it appears,'linve been made principally
by an Englishman named \Vood, who, like
Schlieman, at Troy, was efficiently aided by
his wife. They commenced in 1863, digging
at their own expense, and at the end of six
or seven years, aided, to a small extent by
the British Museum, their patience was at
length rewarded by the discovery, first of the
great theatre, where St. Paul was threatened
by the mob; next of the tombs of St. Mark

The defence relies solely upon the claim
that the proof of sale by the evidence of the
witness Smith should not be received because
of their claim that he was/acting under pay
for procuring evidence to convict Mr. Lee
of violating the liquor law, by first inducing
him to sell in violation of law and that the
temperance work he claims to be doing is
that of a sneak, and that no honorable man
would engage in such business
, That to form a combination to detect rio.
lators of the law by offering the means for
such violation, is conspiracy; also that the
witness Smith had contradicted himself in
thi3,that he said he came here to Sell terrimry
and road scrapers only, and that he did not.
know of any agreement for compensation,
while upon further inquiry he stated that a
Dr. Church. of Stafford, gave him a piece. of
paper introducing him to one Nelson, and
that from the remarks of Church he suppos-
ed they wanted some one to see if the liquor
luwavas bring violated in Norwalk. ‘I. do not
find this admission inconsistent with his ex-
planation, that while he came with the only
ostensible object of prosecuting his canvas
for Saw-sets and Road Scrapers, he had an-
other motive in coming which‘was suggested
by Mr. Church. and that while no agreement
was made with any one, he expected that he
would be paid for his services, and as I do
find that the witness stated that he came to
sell territory “only. ” I am unable to find that
his explanation is in any material point irre-
concilable with his pronounced object of
coming to this place. '
The defence having introduced no evi-
dence in rebuttal, the accused was found
guilty and fined seventy dollars together with
the costs of prosecution.
In the Donovan case similar decisions

every one must have entertained in advance
very exalted ideas of the company, and the
history of Miss ‘Abbott’s life which was
quite extensively circulated, did. not fail of ,
a 'ukcninga peculiar interest in her. The
concert opened with a, piano solo by Herr

piece was moored, and thepcrformers grace-
fully responded. Miss Abbott was elegantly
attired, and was pleasing and modest in ap-
pearance, winning all hearts. Ferrauti took
the audience by storm, and Stanley, less de-
monstrative, was also called upon “to per-
form his part over again.” Arbuckle, with
his golden cornct, was delightful, and shared
with Miss Abbott the honors of a double
encore. Certainly the Concert was one of the
most delightful ever given in Norwalk.

The Herald wili give a full stcnographic
report of Mr. Buckley’s great speech.
In the legislsture, last week, friend Perry,
.of Fairfield, (Woodward & Perry,) had a
sharp tilt with New IIaven‘s representative,
Jas. Gallagher, of “K. D.” fame. Gallagher
had been worrying through a. labored speech
in favor of the Silver Bill, making many
loose statements, and going far out of his
way to eulogizc the democratic party for its
patriotism, and its loving care of the soldiers
all through the war When he finished, Mr.
Perry took the floor-,and made an impromptu
speech which we find reported in the (bur-
ant as follows. 1 -
Mr. Perry of Fairfield, made a short speech
in reply to Mr. Gallagher,and it was received
with great satisfaction. It was an cxtempo-
'raneous effort and on that account was the
more effective. He said in substance :-—-It
ill becomes me, Mr. Speaker, who am-so pal-
pably convicted of the crime of being a
young man to attempt to answer in detail the
arguments of the distinguished gentleman who
' has just taken his seat, but being very certain
of my position I venture to correct some of
the more dangerous mistakes which have
taken shape in his address. Were I in sympa-
thy with the spirit of his resolution, still I
could not vote for it in its present form, be-
cause as submitted itembodics a serious error.
It speaks of the silver dollar of 412; grains as
a. coin which for eighty years has served this
country well. In fact the dollar of 412:} grains
never had an existence before 1837. Again
the gentleman speaks of the “trick which de-
monctiged the silver dollar.” Hesecms to
forget that: the act of I 73 has times without
number during the past month been shown
and is now universally admitted to have been
as openly and fairly passed as any law on
our statute book. And in reply to the state—
ment that the silver dollar has been demono-
tized, let me say that by law and in the opin-
ion of-the secretary of the treasury, the sil—
ver dollar of 412;} grains, if one can be found,
is legal tender to-day for any amount any-
where in this broad country, and furthenthat
the act of 1873 only stopped the coinage of
_the silver dollar, and so far as that room is,
did no more. ’ That great father of the party
to whom the gentleman belongs, good old
Thomas Jefferson, with his. secretary James
Madison, in 1804, stopped the coinage of sil-
ver dollars because they were. becoming a
commodity and were not used as a coin,
and their coinage was not resumed until 1837.
From 1837 to 1853 they were coined to a hm-
ited extent, but after the latter year there
were but a very few coined at our mints, and
from 1793 to 1873 but $8,000,000 in silver
dollars have been coined. This being true
can it be said that the existence of the old
years. And now one point further: The
gentleman has seen fit to claim that because
at one time $100,000 in United States bonds
could be bought ,for $40,000. in gold; the
bondholder should only now receive 40 per
cent. of the par value of these bonds; yet
we remind him that the purchaser, paid at
that time the full market value of the prom-
ise of the United States to pay $100 in coin ;
that our country was then in the throes of an
awful struggle brought upon it by the south-
ern wing of his party ; that its credit was
staggering under the opposition of his'partv
at the north ; that in those days his party had
put George B. McClellan in nomination for
the presidency on a platform which declared
the war to be a failure and the country bank-
rupt, and more than all those were the days
when men with firesidcs to protect and fami- -
lies to care for which fireside-s their country
then protected, and which families it then
cared for, had neither the courage nor the
manlincss to Volunteer in its defense in that
its dire necessity ;:und when drafted, on in-
inquiring what they should do when summon—
ed by the drafting officer were told to “kill
'em, damn ’cm." (Great Applause.) The
gentleman has said that then his cry was for
war. Let me ask him if hehcard that an.
swcr and persistedf in his cry? Oh no, the
promise of a country which has never vct
broken its plighted faith is too sacred to'bc
triflcd with by such talk 10-day. (Long con-
tinued applause.) ..
Mr. Gallagher arid liehud given the Repub-
lican party the, usue of a falsehood for niany
years, and now would dispose of it—that he
lt'ld said, Kill ’cm, damn, ’em.
