" ‘Da-Aa zeem:—'- For mOnths past the air has been filled with rumors that, first one Senator and then another was to open the vials of wrath upon the head of ‘the President. One day it has been that' Senator Conkling [was loading his columbiad and wOuld‘ fire into the Ad ministration. Next day it Would beBlaine who had the mine and fuse all set for an an. nihilating explosion. Then “old man Ham- lin" was the Guy Fawkes who was to blow everybody and everything high and dry out of water, while bringing up the rear of mal- contents Don Cameron was hopefully named as the senator who should redress the wrongs of the Republican party, and of Pennsylva- nia in general and of his father, “old Simon,” in particular“ The name of Senator Howe of WiscOnsiu, had not been thus waited be- fore the public on these successive waves of rumor. When, therefore, it was announced that he would deliver a prepared speech in the Senate, in opposition to the President's policy, and the time Of its delivery stated, an immense crowd filled galleries and floor to listen to his longand cumulative arraign- ment. Surprise aided curiosity in giving the Senator the largest and most deeply interest,- cd audience of he session. The effects pro. duced by Mr. Iiowe,‘s witty. sarcastic and at times severely cutting thrusts - at the Presi-‘ dent, were both amusing and instructive.‘ The democrats seemed to enjoy the occasion as one where deserved chastisement was be. ing administered upon one whom they were glad to see pummeled. The democratic sen- ators sat in their seats and grinned and gig. gled like a boy whose, bullying _ adversary is receiving a sound drubbing at the hands of his own mother. 0n the Republican side the effect was quite varied and varying. From one Senator would come the remark, “Well, what good can come of all this ?" An- other would say, “It is all true enough, but what’s the use of furnishing our opponents with clubs of our own manufacture for them‘ to knock us down with ?" Conkling, Blaine , and Hamlin, it was plain to see, enjoyed the lashing the Administration got as hearti- 1y as ever an Irishman did a wild “motion" at Donnybrook Fair. About the best thing said by anybody was the revival of the re- mark Of Mr. Greeley, quoted by ex-Senator Matt Carpenter, that “there are Republicans enough for one party, not enough for two parties," and such a demonstration tended only to divisions among earnest and honest friends intent on a perpetuation of the same political principles. Mr. Lincoln on the evening of his last in- auguration, told the following “little story." A trio of senators took it upon themselves to visit the White House and condole with the newly inaugurated President over the unfor. tunate exhibition of inebriefy the Vice Presi- dent had made during the day’s ceremonies. Mr. Lincoln listened most patiently to their super-serviceable expreaions of sympathy for the pangs of mortification they felt sure he must have endured. At length his and . countenance all at once lit up, and said he, ”Gentlemen, you remind me of a little inci- dent that occurred Out at Springfield. A neighbor of mine had aprctty daughter and she had a bean, but the father was prejudic- ed and forbid the young man the house. But forgetting the parental admonition to keep away, the youth soon got nicely nestled be- side the girl in the parlor again, when the irate father rushed at him and kicked him furiously into the street. Early next mom- inga crowd of his chums gathered at his shop and began pitying him on account of the disaster of the‘prcvious evening. The poor boy stood their expressions of sympathy just as long as he could, when he blubbered out acrylng and sobbing, ‘Boys, if you feel as] do about that transaction you’ll stop talking about it!”’ The general :feeling among earnest Republicans as to the causes provoking that speech, is very fairly epito- mized in Mr. Lincoln’s “little story.” Senator Stanley Matthews was the only one who listened with anyexhibition of tak- ing or feeling a personal interest in the speech. ' THE REAL TROUBLE. The real trouble after all, with the Presi- dent, is a matter of habit, probably, rather than of intention. He has a reserve about him that lead many of those who would be his strongest and most unselfish friends to keep aloof and imagine the President doesn't wish their counsels or advice. Mr. Lincoln had a most happy faculty of asking every- body's advice and always doing just as hohad a mind to do. Mr. Hayes, on the contrary, is charged with being the most patient of listeners, but so auracular as never by word or gesture to give an auditor an idea Of what is passing in his mind or what his lllifll-‘ tions may be. This, it is charged, extends to the most trivial things, so that it is fre- quently remarked by those who have paid a visit tO Mr. Hayes, that he feels that he is master of- thc situation and that he 1:12:15. run the goverrr‘czj '2: :4, , ‘ :1. , ‘, it- c. -. \ll 1:1 .’ .. were" . . ’-. ,ycr it is -. u - that ‘.:-h President, by his ._ .....;,' studied reserve, leaves such an impression to possess the minds of those who could~and would prove his most valued friends. The President and his Cabinet Ministers Ought to know, if they do not, that it is the icy atmosphere prevailing in and about the White House, more than any “policy” or want of a “pulley” that is chill- ing and estranging from his administration hosts of the truest and best Republicans in the land. The case of Representatives White and Thompson, who visited Secretary Sher. man and the White House in regard to the appointment of a Register for the Treasury, the past week, is one exactly fin point, and unless a “hall” is called, the personal antago- nisms by his party friends, with the Presi- dent, will not end with the speech of Mr. Howe. - usssx-rnn. The unseatiug of Field and seating of Dean, democrat, in his stead, from the 3d Massachusetts, (Boston) District, by the House, on Thursday, has created the greatest indignation. The partizanship of Speaker Randall was never more conspicuously shown, and though nine democrats voted with the‘ Republicans for Field, who was proven to have received the most votes, yet by a single vote, and that Ben Butler's, the democrat was seated. As an- explanation of Butler’s action, it is said that he hopes to’bc elected governor of Massachusetts by the aid of democratic votes, and thus punish such Bay State Republicans as have snubbed and sneered at him. The act is the boldest par- tizan outrage yet perpetrated by the Confed- crate House, and is censured as severely, we rejoice to say, by honest democrats as by Republicans. The Baltimore Gazette, one of the cxtremest of democratic jourals, utters the following in yesterday‘s issue : “Under ordinary circumstances the dis- placement of a Republican by s_ Democrat in Congress would be viewed wIth satisfac- tion, but in this case there is something to regret. Mr. Field received the most votes, and his title'to his seat should have been recognized. As it was, partizanshtp prevail- ed over higher interests, and although nllle democrats, including, we are heppy_to say, two Mar land Representatweswoted In favor of the Republican contestant. Dean was seated by a majority of one.” It continues, with this admonition to Its party :. “it had much better content itself With lImIted pow- er than run the risk of losing public confi- dence.” . This event, will only make the re-election of Field doubly sure next time. Mr. War- ner, who voted both ways on the Silver Bill, has finally found a companion in Representa- tives-J ones of Ala., who voted on both sides in the election controversy. This he did like our Mr. Warner, from a conscientious desire of doing his full-duty. . THE DOORKEEPER. ‘ The democrats were equally successful in stlfiing action on the report of their own committee in the case of Doorkeeper Polk. The effort to get it before the House was voted down by a strict party vote and doubt- less thc matter will thus sleep to the end of the session. Considerable has been printed and said at home concerning the action of two of our Connecticut members, Messrs. Phelps and Lauders, in connection with this Doorkeeper scandal. A full knowledge of the facts, should relieve those gentlemen from any suspicion of wrong-doing. Pend- ing the disgraceful scramble for places under Polk, - that, gentleman" agreed to allot three appointments to New England. One good position, one intermediate and the last on the laborers roll. This was luck for the first man, moderate comfort for the second but misery for the third, and who by the way chanced to be a Connecticut man and most capable of the trio. In this stage of the case the intermediate appointee suggested the man above and below him shduld “pool" the pay with him and the three, to take monthly -an equal sum. This was an affair Of their own private adjusting and was sesible and satisfactory. Judge Phelps and Mr. Landcrs had nothing whatever to do with its suggcs. tion or carrying out. Literally it grew out of too much Polk or too little chance at Doorkceping. . We shall be glad to see both these democratic brethren from our state replaced by equally able and honorable Republicans, but “fair play is a jewc ” and the effort made to smirch these good names on account of an incident with which they were in no way involved and which as agreed upon, was not reprehensible in itself, is a little too phantomy for decent campaign material. Of these . two gentlemen, and especially of Mr. Lander-s it is only fair to say, that they have steadily and resolutely resisted the efforts made for the removal of the wounded Connecticut soldier, Lillibridge, whose appointment on the. Capitol police was secured by the late Representative Stark- weather. ' HOW TO DO IT. Representative Wait took before the com- mittee on commerce yesterday a delegation of prominent citizens of New London and Norwich, to urge a larger appropriation than had been reported by the committee, for the dredging of the channel Of Thames River. Judge Wait made an able and forcible argu- ment himself and called upon his visiting friends to verify the statements he so earnest- ly made. The committee have us down for only $6000 for dredging Norwalk Harbor and a similar effort made by our shipping inter- ests would be likely to have an equally favor- able result. ' arm. sores. Senator Eaton is in receipt of many letters applauding his course in reference to the out- rage perpetrated upon Benjamin Noyes. The Senator says he takes no sides with Noyes pro or con in the matter of his insurance complications, but that his action is simply based upon a determination to vindicate the rights of American citizenship. which were violated in the kidnapping of Noyes and rushing him Off at midnight from the capilOl to New Jersey. He expects to call up his .resolution, now in the hands of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday night. cox. sonurnnnr. Commodore Schufeldt of Stamford, and Of the U. S. Navy has‘written a very sensible letter to a member of the House Naval Com. mittee, in which he deplores the action of the present House in its attempts to cripple the efiieiency of our already too feeble Naval Marine, and recommends Government subsidies for specific steamship lines for the reason that these ships may be so constructed as to serve not only "as commerce savers in time of peace, but as commerce destroyers in time of war." In other words, he proposes that they shall become a part of a navy util- ized in commercial pursuits in time of peace, and as skirmishers of the ocean in time of war. The mail service requires that they should be fast, and their great speed would clothe them with decided advantage to their own Government and make them formidable as a foe. The Commodore recommends a subsidy to steamship lines for carrying the mails on certain specified routes at specified. rates. These ships to be of the heaviest tonnage ; to be manned by American seamen, and com- pelled to take as apprentices five boys to every one thousand tons burden, and to have a speed Of thirteen knots. After giving his views at considerable length on the subject of ocean marine com- merce and its collateral questions, the Com- modore suggests that a new department of the Government be organized, to be styled the “Secretary of Marine,” in which the lighthouse service, the coast survey, the revenue marine, and the life-saving service shall be grouped as bureaus, and rendered more efficient and economical in their admin- istratious.

From the men,in the first class, a team for the inter-state match at Creedmore, will probably be selected. The number of rounds Of ammunition issued to each member of the National Guard will be increased from 1,000 to 1,500, in order that all may have sufiicient for plenty of practice.

Her time of leaving New York will be the same as last year—Market street at 2:45 and 33d street at 3 o’clock, instead of as printed in the adv. last week. The dining and re- freshment saloon will be greatly improved, it is expected, and will be under the person- al direction of A. R. Eckert, of New York. It is evident that the managers fully intend to increase the popularity of the line. The New State House. The new State House, incredible as it may seem, has been built without any increase of the appropriation. The statutory limit Of $400,000 a year has not been exceeded, the building has been paid for out of the pro- ceeds of current taxation, and the State will not owe a dollar on it when it is completed. Moreover the last report of the commission- ers sets forth the fall in prices during the last three years has been such as to make it pos- sible to‘introduce some extras not originally contemplated. ” The Rowayton amateurs were honored with a better audience than very many trav- eling dramatic companies draw, but did not, probably, realize much material aid for their church. The entertainment passed Off pleas- antly, and the audience seemed pleased and good natured. The first part consisted of quartettcs, duetts, and comic songs, including “Mortgage the farm," in character. The closing part comprised the interesting drama “Among the Breakers.” The performance here, it is understood, is the last of this series. Leanna—Good lectures in Norwalk have been few and far between of late, and we are glad to hear that the Rev.

The Probate, Town and Borough offices will all be freshened up and greatly improved. T The Democrats Alarmed alarmed, at their condition. They have been here five months and have been preaching economy and practicing extravagance. Though finding fault with the Administration for its management of the departments and bureaus, their own conduct of the fevrofilces connected with the House has been as bad as could be. The country can see what would be the condition of the civil service if a Democratic Administration were in power by watching the conduct of the House clerk, doorkeeper and postmaster. Every Repub- lican has been turned out ; the law has been violated to give places to notoriously in- competent persons, and things __ generally about the House are in a very bad way. Clearly “Democratic reform willjnot answer. —“ Van," in the Springfiehl Republican. _——.—¢.-—.———-—- Watered Raflroud Stock. The special committees appointed by the last Legislature to investigate the charges against railroads and railroad commissioners made by Henry L.Goodwin,of East Hartford, have made a report. The following named companies have watered capital (stock for which no equivalent was paid in money) as follows: Danbury and Norwalk, $262,583 ; Shore Line, $256,029; Naugatuck. $590525; New Haven andNorthampton,$548,000; New York and New Haven, $952,625; Hartford and New Haven, $1,517,100; making a total of $4,129,862, while the paid up capital is $12,749,038- The report says that the issue of this watered stock was concealed and re- ported as “paid up.’ The] committee says that “the issue of watered stock by the said companies enables them to conceal very ef- fectually from the public the amount of their earnings on the money actually invest- cd,” but they recommend no legislation. .0—‘——- The New York Herald thinks that there is a danger that the Democratic party is des- was made ridiculous, it says, by its “Biger- man-than-old-Grant," and it is now apparent— ly hesitating before Polk, who seems to be a “Biger-mau-than-the-wholenDemocraticapar- ty." The Herald paternally advises the Democrats not needlessly to exhibit them. selves as the mere tail of Mr. Doorkce er Polk; and it adds, with no little force, t at “if they have not moral courage enough to remove a’glaring abuse in the administration of a petty office of the House of Representa- tives they will never get the country to trust them with the Federal Administration.‘ ‘ __.___-. 0—... + . .._ The project of the Harlem River improve- ment is making progress at Washington slow- ly but apparently surely. The House Com- mittee on Commerce considered the subject again on Friday, and heard several forcible arguments in favor of the enterprise. Mr. Willis, of New York, called attention to the practical advantages which would flow from the proposed deepening of the river,and claim- ed that the improvement would reduce the cost of transportation at least two cents for every bushel of grain exported, and insure a proportionate saving in the cost of trans. portation of other agricultural and manufac- turing products, this cost being in effect an export duty upon the farmers, artisans and laborers of the whole country. It would also diminish the cost of every imported article, and thus alleviate the burdens of the people in another way. . . . - .4.

BY OUR LOCAL REPORTBBS. Owing to the continual indisposition of J nsticc E. W. Stuart, the suit of George W. Smith vs. the city, was indefinitely postponm ed. . Many changes of' residence have taken place even before the usual time of moving, April 1st. .W. N. Raymond, of Raymond Bros, occupies the house on Washington street lately owned by R. I. Tolles. Mr. Huntington has moved to his new residence on the hill. ' Mr. Slater is moving into the premises lately occupied by Mr. Rockwell. J. A. Brown has removed to Mr. Hoyt’s house on West street. On Saturday night, a week since, our city was left without guard, while our battalion of police and town constable went to Ely’s Neck to attempt to quell a drunken row and arrest the offenders. Many will recall the circumstance of the robbery of the post office some years since, and also that .both the po. lice officers were called away by a man under the pretence of recovering a stolen horse. During their abscence the robbery was com- mitted, and it was thought it was a put up job. It certainly is risky to leave the city centre without guard, but it may be that itis done oftcner than it is made known. It 'ap- pears that the officers had a hard tussle with the brawlers, and arrested only two, the oth— ers escaping and are yet at large. The two who were arrested were released by the mayor. In regard to the authority Of the mayor, we know that Mayor Hanford, like his predeccs. sor Mayor Ely, is willing to take the respon sibility of enforcing and interpreting the char- ter and the city laws as they find them, with- out referencc to the views, opinions, or pref-‘ erence of penny-a-liners. Prisoners arrested by our police are confined in the “Town lock up" by sufierancc, but by virtue of his office he has full authority over them for 24 hours, and he will exercise it, too. C. W. Sawyer commenced a series of Gospel Temperance meetings at the Baptist church, on Tuesday afternoon of last week, and continued them in Military Hall on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night. Great interest was manifested, and crowds gathered nightly to hear the speaker, scores being compelled to stand during the service. A committee of citizens was appointed to prepare a definite plan of action, and make provisions for the meetings to be held in Music Hall during the present week, when it is expected Mr. Sawyer will be aided by some well-known and effective speakers. The committee of arrangements called a meeting at the Baptist church on Sunday afternoon. The chairman J. S. Dunning, called the meeting to order. After stating the object Of the meeting, a question was asked by Mr. Knudsen if the sub-committee appointed to collect subscriptions was ready to report. Answer was made that the com- mittee had not commenced their work, and would suggest that a Treasurer for the fund be appointed, and that the collections be postponed until all became interested and enthusiastic in the work. Mr. Knudsen was chosen Treasurer. Mr. Golden of the Executive committee made a statement of the action of - that committee, and said he hoped all the churches would rally to the sup- port of these meetings, if so there would be no want or lack Of money. The great work would be to retain the converts, to watch over them, after the speakers had gone. A gentleman here suggested that he had just read in a Peekskill paper, that Mrs. Van Cott was to be present here during the last of the series of meetings, so the Lord was pro- viding for additional workers and aids. Doubtless the meetings which will com- mence tonight in Music Hall, will be largely attended, and deeply interesting. Preparations are being made on a liberal scale and rehearsals are often held under the management of Professor Disbrow, chair- man of the committee for the Easter Sunday School concert, to be held on the third Sun- day evening of April, in the Congregational church. It will not matter what other exer- cises or attractions occur on that evening, those who wish a rare treat will need go early to secure good seats. A. large number from the city churches assembled at the Methodist church on Sun- day evening to hear the last sermon, and the farewell words of Rev. W. H. Simonson. After reading the 111th Psalm, singing the 47 and 50 selections of the Gospel Hyms and prayer, and taking a collection for the sup- port Of superanuated ministers, which the Rev. gentleman said he should be happy to receive from any who had not satisfied their conscience by previous contributions, be delivered a sermon full of good suggestions from the words “And the peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ.’, Many were disappointed that he said not _a word in regard to his leaving, and others tarricd after the close of the service to bid him an affectionate farewell. While the audience were passing out, the choir sang “Sweet By and By" with much feeling and good effect. Mr. Simonson leaves a host of friends, who will remember him wherever he _ may be. _ (43‘ Read Bennett, Nash dz Street's adv. ———-—-——o——- ' 'Leiters'From the People. To Enrrons or run zes'r'rn: I have been informed the Pioneer Hook & Ladder Company feel aggrieved over a card in last weeks Sentinel in connection with the St. Mary’s church fire, and that they blame me for it. I did not put the card into the Sentinel, nor/did I _ know of its going in. On F-I‘iday last I was in South Norwalk and accidently meeting a friend I told him sub- stantially as it appears in the Sentinel (and which is the same as I heard personally from Wilson and Jackson when the Truck Company passed up Main street after the fire). I also told him thé Democrat refused to print an item on the subject which I brought there, but which made no mention of Jacksons name. He tOld me if I would take a note to the Sentinel office he would get the matter inserted there. It was then near noon and I refused on account of time, saying perhaps ,I would call down after noon. He told me it would be to late as the Sentinel went to press that afternoon. I ghurriedly left him not thinking he would put an item in the Sentinel. I have never said anything against the Truck Company, in fact I could'not, they have always done their duty as firemen and I consider the reply of Jack- son'as boyish and unworthy of notice. But what has been printed is substantially true, both of the parties have been friends of mine. But I could not keep to myself the fact that even those friends by these expres- sions showed to my mind and I am sure to the mind of every good citizen that they are regardless of the property of others. If it were the poorest house in town and owned by the meanest person I wouldn't conceal such remarks and how much more so when it concerned my own church, the property of i of the inhabitants of the town. No disre- spect was at :all intended the firemen, and none can be taken rightfully. I trust the members of the Truck Co. will not allow themselvesto be used to cover Doc. Wilson. Yours Truly, P. SLATTERY. Norwalk, March 3131:. — EDITORS Gaza'r'rn :-—I desire through the columns of your journal to publicly deny the charge made against me by a correspondent in the Sentinel, of Saturday last.

Smith had' an idea, -how curious, but it was an idea,-—and he gave it gratuitously to the anxious group. He whispered it to them; but in their EX- orrnuss'r they repeated it aloud, and the incubator was received with enthusiasm. Butter tabs were procured, lamps, old bed- quilts, sand, tin pans, thermomctors and all the other paraphernalia of the incubating process gathered together and placed imposi- tion, the eggs carefully placed in the sand, and the flame of the lamps and gas regulated so the thermometer marked 92 which was the proper degree of heat, said Smith, and he stopped lighting his pipe to say it, “Shucks’ on the chickens and the pipe 1 he exclaimed, as he. dropped the match, snapped his burnt fingers and gyrated around the cellar to the intense delight of all. His laugh comes now, —they had theirs three weeks ago—Now they know they are badly burned, and Smith laughs. “Afters. storm comes a calm,” true in this instance it never before. Mysterious visits to the cellar; a mysterious sprinkling of water on the eggs, we suppose a Religions incantation to keep the devil and tom-cats away. Mysterious conversation carried on by winks and nods were the only outward evidences of the terrible, raging anxiety within. We have not time to detail all the l incidents transpiring in those three long weeks. How Ed‘s gas jet played out and he set on the eggs himself until Joe ran to the gas house to get it righted and forgot all about his errand, and when found by a messenger from the anxious setter was talking to Dave Sterling about licensing him to sell Plymouth Rock eggs at 50 cents per glass. But as every thing has an end, so those three weeks came to an end, and what was the re- sult? They gathered around the magic egg hatchers and nary a pip was heard, nary an egg was chipped, some of the eggs were broken, and were found to be in an excellent state of preservation, a failure, alas, 'vain hope, Joe refuses to be comforted because his chicks are not—andjwill sell his share in those eggs for 15 cents per dozen and incub- ators at any price. Ed guesses the women folks have been meddling with those ma- chines, and he may be right. Tommy thinks he has learned the process of preserving eggs and Ike finds true consolation in the fact that if that Is a failure, he has made a sac. ces in another line.

Sir Emilious Bayley B. D , must be accounted a bold man, for ht: introduced the subject at the Female School of Art, London, after the annual prizes had been-awarded. 5 He started out by saying that women always seemed to be in extremes, and always contrary to sound taste. Some years ago complaints were made of crinolines, with their exuberant circumference. Now the elongation was in another direction, and gen- tlemen were always in danger of stepping upon the too. ample trains of the other sex. He thought, too, that high heels were asin- consistant with good taste as they must be with comfort. Female head-dress in the present day were fairly open to criticism. He hoped the time would soon come for their emancipation from those coteries of Paris dressmakcrs and cozifl'mrs which dictated the fashions. He did not see why, when a lady found a bonnet becoming to her, she should not go on wearing it. He had heard- of a husband who, having accompanied his’wife to a milliner's and ascertained that she was quite satisfied} with the choice of a bonnet, told her she could not do better than order a dozen at once. This last incident seemed to cdify his fair auditors, and Sir Emilius stop ped short. It was high time. .e—.——-— Marie Roze, while singing in Chicago kissr ed a child who handed her a bouquet from a proscenium box.
