The House, to its exceptional credit be it
said, passed the Naval Appropriation Bill
without stopping to mangle, higgle and talk
it to death. Several attempts were made to
get up the accustomed quarrel over amend-
ments but Representative Willis keeping his
forces in hand, ._ fought 03 every attempted
change in his Bill and passed it through the
House “on the run." The democracy have
been admonished from all parts of the land
that it was necessary for them to get on with
the imperative legislation of the country, if
they hoped to carry the text House at the
coming fall elections. By this one vigcrous
act of legislation at least a month's time of
the session is saved and if the other appro-
priation Bills are similarly rushed, an ad-
joulnment may be reached in June intend
of broiling here till August.

The poor doorkeeper is still “hanging upon
the ragged edge.” The committee investi-
gating his violations of law make a divided
report. The majority censure him for mal-
feasance, but tone down their condemnation
on the ground of his “rawncss,” whatever
that may mean, and end by advising an
abolishment of his office. The minority re.
port is to the efiect that he has done nothing
really criminal, has mixed up his official
affairs deplorably, but it was the result of his
good heartcdness in yielding to the impor-
tunities of democratic members who dragged
his life out for places for their friends, &c.
Meantime-Polk believes more fervently than
hitherto that his place is nearer akin to the
gates of perdition, than being a delightful
sinecure, as Doorkeeper in the House of the
democrats. The Republican press has made
quite merry over the ludicrous exposures of
Polk’s short-comings, and some party capi-
tal no doubt will be coined therefrom. Our
democratic friends now are determined to
hide their own mortifiestion over the failure
and fizzle of their third attempt to keep
door, by attempting a return fight upon the
Republican organization of the Senate, and
we are told, are threatening to make matters
very uncomfortable for Sergeant at Arms
French. Senators Barnum and Eaton claim
to have some very damaging‘afildavits and
' other evidences of misconduct on the part of
this Republican official which at the proper
time they will expose to the Senate and call
for another “Investigation."

Mr. Davis Hatch of Norwalk is here and
before the Heuse Committee on claims,
with a petition for indemnity from this
government for the losses and sufierings he
endured while he was in prisoned at Santo
Domingo pending the Grant annexation
negotiations. He charges his misfortunes to
the direct complicity of Gen. Babcock with
President Baez'ina conspiracy to rob and
destroy him and as Babcock was the agent of
this government, he holds the United States
to. be responsible for his acts. Mr. Hatch
madca very clear and forcible statement
before the committee, and while it may not
result in any pecuniary recompense to him,
it will of necessity, re-inaugurate the old
Santo Domingo scandal that was so lengthily
investigated by a committee of theSenate
under a resolution introduced by the late
Senator Ferry. The present investigation.
being in the. hands of the democrats, they
will take especial pains to bring to light (as
is their right) every act of Gen. Grant’s
Administration, that can possibly throw dis-
credit upon him or the Republican party,
and with this the matter will end, for we
have no sort of belief that the Democrats
will ever vote a dollar to restore to Mr.
Hatch the fortune he has lost or the injury
done to his health. The treatment he re-
ceived was simply outrageous and as the
House Committee has power to send for
persons and papers. we trust a complete ex-
posure will be made of ‘ all responsible there-
for and then “let no guilty man escape."

The Kidnapping of Mr. Noyes and carry-
ing out of the city without any authority of
law, has created quite an excitement here.
The Republican newspaper has had several
very severe articles concerning the Outrage
and yesterday Senator Eaton introduced a
resolution into the Senate to have the matter
fully investigated. The following is the
official record :—
Mr. Eaton offered a resolution reciting that
it is alleged that on the 11th of March, Ben-
jamin Noyes, a citizen of the United States,
and of the State of Connecticut, was arrested
without due process, and while so under
arrest his kidnappers took from him valuable
papers and property, and directing the Judi»
ciary Committee to investigate the circum-
stances, with power to send for persons and
papers.
Mr. Eaton then proceeded to detail the
circumstances attending the arrest of Mr.
Noyes, substantially as stated in the daily
press, and said it was made hours before the
requisition of the Governor of New Jersey
reached Washington and eleven hours before
any warrant was issued by the local authori-
ties.
Mr. Eaton said that Mr. Noyes had been
arrested without authority of law, and car-
ried outside of the District without law!
Where kidnapping was‘the beginning of the
transaction all that followed was illegal and
wrong.
After further discussion the resolution was
laid over until Monday.
Mr. Noyes had been here several weeks
looking after a bill introduced some time
since for a repeal of the charter of ' the
National Capitol of Washington Life Insur-
ance Company. This is the company into
which he had “merged” his New Haven
company. Senator Ingall's had had the reso-
lution under patient consideration and had
reported a bill to the Senate to rescind said
charter, which bill now stands on the Senate
calender. Mr. Noyes was endeavoring to
induce Senator Ingalls to accept a substitute
Bill, authorizing Hon. L. W. Sperry of New
Haven to act as a Trustee in the interest of
the policy holders and public, and in event
of the Company’s inability to satisfactorily
fix up its deficient assets, then to wind up
the same. His request seemed reasonable
and would no doubt have been accepted, but
for this sudden and unfavorable turn of
events.

It is now stated that Gen. Butler has re-
ceived two of the beautiful houses of the
Grant block for his fees as counsel for Grant
as the Hartford Phtnnix Life Insurance Co.
This 00., it is stated, loaned $150,000 at 10
per cent. on this block, and now lose their
entire loan, principal and interest, because
of Butler having discovered, as is claimed,
that the loaning board of that Company had
taken $10,000 of Grant for passing his loan
The truth or falsity of this scandal ought at
once to he authoritatively settled by Commis-
sioner Steadman, for it is actively circulated
here to the discredit and injury of every
Connecticut Life Insurance Company.
NEW LONDON NAVY YARD.
Representative Wait called upon the Score-
tary of the Navy, this morning, with Mr.
John R. Bowles, to get the Secretary's views
as to recommending'an appropriation, as had
been reported by' the naval engineer, etc.
Secretary Thompson‘ said he considered the
New London Yard one of the most valuable
and important to the Government of any in
the country, and he would aid in any way he
could to have it completed. He said the
Navy Yard here would very soon have to be
abandoned for all ships drawing heavy
draughts of water, because the stream was
fast filling up, and his hope was to induce
Congress to permit him to make New London
a Yard of construction because of its great
depth of water at all times and its superior
facilities for the procurement of supplies and
good workmen. He was far more enthusias-
tic and confident of the future of the New
London Navy Yard than was ever our own
citizen and Seerctary,the late Gideon Welles.
It is believed that the Brooklyn Yard will it
length be removed thither.

Information reached here yesterday from
Pueblo that Mr. and Mrs. Chas. C. Belts

Ex Sheriff Buckley is still “waiting and
hoping” fora place under the democratic rc-
girne of the House. He has been escorting
James Sturges of Weston, and David Van
Hoosear of Wilton, about the Capital and
showing them the attractions of the govern-
mental city. If more of our honest, com—
men-sense people from the farms and work-
shops of the country would make a winter
visit to Washington, it would do them and
the nation a marked benefit. One of the first
results would be the sending hero of a better
and abler class of congressmen to make our
laws.
Hon. Henry Buggies, who has been for
several years in the Spanish Consular service,
was tendered an Austrian position, which he
declined. As Connecticut has received absc-
lutely nothing from the present administra-
tion, Mr. R. might certainly hope for a more
desirable position in adherence to strict
“civil service reform” (?) rules. President
Hayes would have saved himself much vcxa-
tion of spirit and added honor and dignity to
the national name, had be nominated Presi-
dent Woolsey to the English Mission. This
venerable and learned Doctor of international
law might, and probably would have de-
clined the honOr; nevertheless the tender
would have been a compliment so fitting as
to have won the approving acclaim of culti-
vated mankind.

The New Canaan Trials.
On Wednesday, the case of Charles Scott,
for liquor selling, came up in the Superior
Court. The evidence was given by the two
detectives from New York. The defense
contradicted their statements, as a matter of
course. The jury brought in averdict of not
guilty. The other five cases were then
nolled by States Attorney Olmstead, who
thought the evidence would be no stronger
in , them. Perhaps he was right, but after
all the jury might have convicted one dealer
out of the six, for looks of the thing, if
nothing more, and even one conviction might
have had some effect to restrain illegal sales
in the future.

The Stamford Temperance people were
very successful in their liquor cases before
the Superior Court. Nearly every dealer
either put up and shutnp of his own sweet
will, or was tried and promptly convicted.
The New Canaan and Norwalk people's luck
was just the reverse, and ended in defeat
almost before they were commenced. One
New Canaan case was tried, and because it
failed all of the rest were nolied. As the,
evidence was substantially the same in these
cases, however, perhaps it was well not to go
through the forms with the others. But
the Norwalk cases were different. When
the case of Mr. Lee was called, it was dis-
covered that somebody had‘ blundered and
the charge of selling did not appear. The
trial proceeded on repute. Half a dozen
witnesses gave evidence to prove that this
saloon was one in which liquor was reputed
to be sold, 350. The evidence was deemed
positively conclusive by many, and the Judge
assured persons in waiting that conviction
was sure. The jury came in with a verdict
of “Not guilty.” The acquittal astonished
the District Attorney and evidently discon-_
certet-l him. He at once held a consultation
with some of the Norwalk prosecutors and
the result was that all of the other cases were
at once polled. It was thought that if con-
viction could not be obtained on such evi-
dence, it was useless attempting to try any
more cases before that jury.
Possibly the conclusion was a wise one,but
it will not strike all men so. Mr. Lee’s case
was the weakest of the lot, for various rea-
sons. The cases against some of the other
dealers, for sale, were entirely different, and
the evidence positive. Certainly the cases
against Donovan, for instance, were too
strong to fail, even before a one-sided jury.
The dealers are, of course, jubilant over
the result, and naturally so. They will now
feel as if they had been justified, and in a
certain sense licensed to continue selling, for,
as those cases have utterly and totally failed,
it is not presumed that any more expensive
and vcxatious attempts will be made to cm.
force a law which has proven worthless.
So far “N 0 license" has certainly restricted,
in large measure, the public sale of liquor in 1
Norwalk. We fear this failure will result in
a vote for license hereafter, for if No license
cannot be enforced what is the use of voting
a sham? . '
But the end is not yet. What will come
next remains to be seen. The establishment
of a healthy public sentiment against the use
of liquor asabeveragc, would close up sa-
loons more effective] y than any law yet
framed.

An Early Start.
Commodore White announces that the
popular steamer Americus will resume her
daily trips'on this route for the season of
1878, on Monday, April 8th. Capt. Perkins
was in town last week completing arrange-
ments. He assures us that all the popular
features of last year are to be retained—low
excursion rates, quick time, sure cenncction
with the railroads, two landings in New York
and one ill Brooklyn, etc. The steamer is
always kept in good condition and during
the winter has been thoroughly overhauled
and fixed up expressly for passenger trans-
portation,—bulky freight going by the pro-
pellers. The reputation already achieved by
this line will besure to draw a large business
the coming summer.
Alarm at St. Mary’s
About 9 o’clock yesterday morning, an
alarm of fire was sounded, and the report
that St. Mary’s stone church was on fire
spread rapidly. The cntiac fire department
was soon on hand, and connection made with
two of the nearest hydrants. The basement
of the church was full of smoke. The cold
air box to one ofthe furnaces ill the basement,
was found to be on fire, and was torn out be-
forcd any other damage was done. If the
fire had happened in the night time the floor- '
ing overhead would undoubtedly have taken
fire when probably the entire interior of the
handsome church would have been ruined.
As it was the damage was very light.
Fire in Bethel.
About 3 o’clock last Friday a_ftcnoon, a
fire broke out in the boiler room of the Gil-
bcrt Brothers’ carpenter shop, which was en-
tirely destroyed. with all the machinery.
The firemen were promptly on hand, but
could do nothing to save the burning prop.
erty, although they did much to prevent the
spread of the flames. The adjacent coal
sheds belonging to Mr. Crof'ut,‘with some
twenty-five tons of coal, were also destroyed.
The depot, residence of Mr. Glover, and
other buildings had a narrow escape. Loss
estimated at about $12,000; insurance about
$6,000.
A [11:11] named Philip Mason, employed on

The Sentinel has the following in regard to
a gentleman who has made many friends in
this vicinity :—
“Our old friend, Dr. P. V. Burnett, is
about to settle in Middletown, Conn., where
he intends to practice his profession. For
the past two or three years he has been en-
gaged as house surgeon and physician in Bel-
levuc Hospital, Ncw York City. Of his skill
and probity in this position the managing
Commissioners have much reason to feel
proud. His name has been connected almost
daily by the city paper with the most compli-
cated operations and diseases known to the
medical school. We predict a successful
career for the doctor in Middletown. His
appearance talks louder than our words. but
nevertheless, we can recommend him as an
upright, conscientious gentleman."

CITY NEWS.
BY OUR LOCAL BEPOBTERS. .
Geo. Jennings, Esq, has returned from an
extensive business tour through the states of
Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
Since the decision was given in favor of
the liquor dealers, there has been a remark-
able quiet, and freedom from drunkenness in
the streets. May the good time continue.
No little surprise was manifested on the
announcement that Geo. IV. Smith, Esq. ,
has sued the city, and was determined to
claim his just dues before a competent court.
This matter of North Main street assessment
has slumbercd many years, and even now the
councilman may have advice that Mr. Smith
has no just claim. The same was said of
Mrs. Waterbury's claim, but she was award-
ed the full amount. George may be very
naughty to bring this matter up again, but
while there is life there is hope, and if the
matter is investigated, and the council record
searched thoroughly, there will be difficulties
encountered, sufficient to puzzle 9. Justice of
the Peace, and yet show that the whole
amount has not been paid to him.
Wanted, a correct standard for measuring
the height of absurdity, and a slipper from
the foot of a-daucing noon beam.
A quiet, but attractive entertainment or
- exhibition was given on Friday last, by the
principal and teachers of the Franklin Street
School. Usually the scholars are called upon
to furnish the entertainment, but on this
occasion only furnished a part of the music.
The teachers acquitted themselves well in
the various exercises of reading, singing and
piano playing. A lengthy programme has
been published, when and who will attend
the examinations in all the public schools of
the town.

Tax Payers on List of' 1876.
It has now been over seven months since
the Tax Book was put into my hands for col.
lection of State and Town Tax for List of
1876. Now, gentlemen, you must pay, or
suffer the consequences. Not wishing to dis-
tress any tax payer, I should advise you, if
you have not the money to pay with, borrow
it, and save expense, for surely it must come
and that quickly. Six per cent. will be ad-
ded to all taxes remaining unpaid on the
morning of the 61b of April, 1878. Be sure
and heed the above advice of the Collector.
