' ‘The‘COnkling “interview” as bashed up by
the Nerv‘YSr-lé wan hits overshadowed all
other exciting" s‘r'ibjects here the past week.
While 'thel'graphie reporter had no doubt very
largely drawn on his own vivid imagination
and fringed _‘hi,sj narrative ,witlia rich lace
work of his:own'inventiou,_,sti1i: he had art,-
' , fully retained just enough of the great New
York Senators. ' earmarks , throughout, to
make it the richest reading that has regaled
the cmgressional'miud for many a year.
Vigilaht newspaper interviewers were after
the senator like hornet-s and while he would
mt admit it to be a fair and true rehash of
opinirnr he had expressed, he still admitted
enough to give away :his case and so has to
hear the general crtdit ot' i's paternity. It is
plain to see that he has been exceedingly
annoyed by it, as any man must be, at such a
betrayal of confidence and outrage on the
conimonist dccencics of life. 'lhe cxplanav
tion given, by his friends is that an apt and
ready writer on one of the New York1crty
dailies was engaged to go up to Utica and
edit the senators “organ.” That, as almost
always happens with such newspapcr ven-
tures, changes became necessary in the
editorial management of the paperand this
city scribe was discharged. That 'while Mr.
Conkling was in no wise responsible for '11:,
yet the quilldriver became impressed With
the idea that the Senator could coerce his,
retention if he only would. » As he did not,-
the writer took offence and to “get even ’ set
hurriedly to work to make over into a con-
nected narrative all the separate expressions
and desultory conversations he had heard
drop from the Senator's lips, concerning , the
Administration, his fellow Senators and cog.
natc subjects. The fellow made out such a
rich and graphic rehearsal, that as desirable
literary goods in the market, the World it is
said paid five hundred dollars for it. . _
A general synopsis of the article had been
wired over here early in the morning and
although a large extra edition of the World
had been sent, in ten minutesafter the fast-
inail arrived a copy could scarce be found at
any news stand in' the city. At the capitol it
was read with a good-naturedgzest in the
- main, yet there were certain Senators whose
names had been so unpleasantly paraded,
who could illy conceal their anger and
chagrin. Next day the vigilant reporter was
early at. the Senate and a crowd of spectators
filled the galleries awaiting an expected “rise
to a personal explanation,” from the Senior
Senator from New York. Never was a
public man the subject of a more intensely
concentrated interest but he rose not at all.
Late in the day when he got up to speak
briefly on a matter of legislation, necks were
outstretched and a rush made for front posi-
tions in the gallery, to end only in provoking
disappointment. It was not what Conkling
should say, so much as it was the opportuni-
ty his saying anything, would give other
Senators to make reply, and open fire all
along the lines which he had‘assailcd, that
gave rise to the intense interest. It was
known that Gordon and Lamar were nearly
bursting with indignation and anger and
waiting a decent pretext-of attacking their
antagonist with gloves. But Conkliu'g was
too wise and sagacious to give this oppor-
tunity. As long as he tookno public notice,
he was safe and unassailablc On the floor of
the Senate and so the day were away and
the disappointed members and gallery crowd
departed to cuss and discuss the great sensa-
tion at their homes. This severe lesson
ought to at least result in tending to curb the
growing propensity of our public men to
loose and acrimonious talking in the presence
of the ever “enterprising" newspaper repor-
ter. It is a fruitful source of needless_heart-
burnings and unnecessary quarrels among
those who ought to act together in unselfish
friendship for the public welfare.
MORE Doonxnsrnn.
And still the House is not happy. The
confederate friends of the new Doorkeeper
had scarce gotten over the shock of the dis-
covery that Gen. Field was at the date of his
election an applicant as a professed Rapid/la”
am for a consulship, and backed up by Re-
publican endorsements, when what should he
do but go and appoint as his first assistant
Col. Polk’s “diseased” democratic soldier——
v;hose battle-wounds consisted in “a sprain
of his ankle while drilling.” Our confeder-
ate friends are really to be piticd. When
they ignored every native democrat, and pene-
trated the darkness of Egypt to secure timber
fora Doorkeeper, who should have no “en-
mngling alliancrs," but have an untrammcled
record following, and then to have'it turn
out that to get consulship to Cairo in his
own, his beautiful Egypt, he should go to
this “fraudulent administration” and under
pretense of being a black-republican impor-
tune for office, was an almost uneudurable
rnortrfication and disappointment. And then
instead of steering clear » of the rocks on
which his predecessor Polk had split, he
should actually take up and promote one of
the very sham soldiers which had _ made
Polk’s conduct, unbearably ridiculous. We
can see no way'of escape for them except to
summarily eject Field and rc-elect their first
love Fitzhue, ' the “biger man than Old
Grant." _ ' t .
INVESTIGATOR crown.
The Republicans have. been kept in a roar
of merriment and the poor democrats in a
panic of alarm over the investigating ex-
ploits of Glover. With great sound and fury
he cast his drag-nets to catch some direlict
Republican official, but every, time he has
felt a nibble and twitched up his line he has
either caught the hook and jerked all the
slack out of the basement of his own pants
or dragged some erring democrat to the sur-
face. He has repeated this for the third or
fourth time till his fellow members of the
House are blackgnarding and abusing Glover
and his committee without stint, and the
democratic “organ” here, the Post, pronoun-
ces both Glover and his mousing and smell-
ing committee “nuisances that ought at once
to be abated.” How hard is the way of the
democratic trausgressor.
max PACIFIC RAILROAD BILL.
21-: ,., committee on railroads has
nsr " agreed to report a compromise
,. I. . ga- r.o the Northern Pacific railroad.
By the terms of this measurethc company. is
to be granted ten years‘ extension of time for
the completion of the road, and will be al-
lowed to sell its own lands, subject, however,
to the requirements that they shall be sold
only to actualsettlers in tracts not exceeding
160 acres each, and at a price not to exceed
$2.50 per acre.
INCOMETAX. .
'l‘hc democrats 10f the Ways and Means
Committtec‘ have succeeded in getting the
tax on tobacco reduced 'tO sixteen cents per
pound, and now go for a rc-cnactment of the
tax on all incomes over $2,000, of 2 per cent.
This, it is thought, will prove a popular
measure before the people in the‘fall con-
gressional campaigns.

, ANTHONY cous'roox. _
The House committee on the revision of
l
the laws,'had..hc_forc them ‘ tosday,EAnthOny
Comstock, whoappeared'to oppose any-al-
missiou through the, mails of, obscene prints
and articles for‘immoral use. He was con-
}‘froiited by a son' of; Dr. Feats, of New
‘YOrk, who has‘heretOfore resided in summer
at Daricn, and had a depot for his peculiar
~>wares atSouth Norwalk. Young Dr. F.
argued vehemently against any restriction in
the public‘s use of the mails. He was re-rn-
forced by a lot of long-haired men, and one
‘ short-haired wOman, and one no-hair—at-all
reformer of the “free-love" school. The ar-
guments and exhibits of captures made
by Comstock wereso vile and loathsome that
there is little dairger'of the committee doing
ought‘ito retard him in his glorious work of
saving our homes and children from the pol—
lution spread all over the land by these fiends
in human slrape-the vendors of obscenity.
Comstock was backed up by Mr. Samuel
COlgate, President of the New YOrk Society
for the Suppression of Vice, who said that
those who stood beside and encouraged and
endorsed Mr. C. were the purest and best
men of the country. That Comstock’s work
was seconded by the ablcst and best citizens
Of the country. The enormous capital cm-
ploycd in this nefarious trade,and the appall-
ing-extent of the traflic almost beggars be-
lief. A “petition” on a reel of about a mile
in' length had been placed before the com-
mittee asking a repeal of the law. Comstock
presented a private circular sent out by the
getter up of the petition-offering a premium
of $25 in books of his publication for the
greatest number'of names, $15 for the sec-
ond largest, etc. Large numbers are in the
same hand-writing and seem to have been
copied bodily from directories. Its fraudu-
lent-character was frilly exposed by Com-
stock. He also stated .to the committee that
up to date he had seized and destroyed over
tit-mtg ~tons weight of this vile matter, and
quite‘ a half-million ' copies of pictures,
prints, circulars. songs, etc., of an obscene
character.
NATIONAL ACADEMY or SClENCE.
This body has been in session at the Smith-
sonian Institute throughout the week, and
closed with a very interesting exhibition of
the Edison’s phonograph. The inventor, a
modest little fellow, soon made the savans
forget all about “solar systems,” “animal-
cule," “vertebra,” etc., and had the hard-
thinking professors all thoroughly absorbed
in his wonderful instrument, by which any
utterance is recorded and can be rc-uttered in
the same tone of voice at any future period.’
Among the large number of men, distinguish-
ed in every department of science present,
Connecticut, had the largest representation.
Thcrc‘wcre' present from‘Ncw Haven, Gen.
Francis A. Walker, Prof. Silliman, Prof. W.

PERSONAL.
terday by the death of his law partner at
Norwich. Congressman Warner returned to
us yesterday. T. G. Bennett, Sec. of the
Winchester Repeating Rifle ,Co., left for
New Haven, yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. A. II.
NefI, and Frank and Miss Jessie Lockwood,
brother and sister-in-law and nephewand
niece of E. K. Lockwood, Esq., are at Wil-
lard’s. Mr. and Mrs. Neff will soon’leave
for a summer sojourn at Norwalk. Mayor
W. S. Hanford, wife and son Willie, are also
here. Mr. H. will leave for home early in
the week, while Mrs. H. will remain here
some days with her invalid son. He has ral-
lied since his arrival here from Wilmington,
and little hope remains of his long continu
ance among us; his symptoms being some-
what improved it is deemed best that he
should tarry here for a little season hoping to
rebuild some of his wasted strength.
A letter received here from Colorado says
Rev. Mr. Hamilton had left, homeward
bound, and would be in this city next week.

The Norwalk Iron Works have decided to
go into insolvency. This action, we are glad
to know, is not caused by any recent mis-
management, or loss, but on account of the
old debts which have so long been hanging
over the concern, and is hastened by a recent
suit brought against the Works. But for
this suit the Company would probably bar 0
continued business as usual. The Company
has been apparently, under very careful man—
agement for the past few years, and no new
debts have been contracted,whilc the business
has just about paid expenses—which is doing
well in this long period of depression. Un-
der the State law, the wages of the workmen
will come in as preferred claims. Outside
of these, we understand, the company has
.but fifteen creditors. Willi the old debt
hanging over them the Company can do
nothing, but a new concern, free from debt,
might succeed in building up a paying bus"-
ness. ‘

AN HONxsT Snowman—In December
1870, Milton Nobles advertised to appear
at Music Hall. He met with poor success in
this vicinity, and was oblige to give it up
up at Stamford. He sent an agent here to
collect his bills, and promised payment.
Last week the agent appeared, with bills in
hand, and paid the same. We believe this
to be the first case of the kind on record.
Mr. Nobles, having a prosperous year at
the West, will again attempt a tour of New
England with his original drama “The
Phoenix," which has proved popular in the
South and West. He will play at Music
Hall next Saturday evening. If you enjoy
an amusing play, go and hear him.

Healey’s Minstrels. . E
To night, Tuesday, April 23d, Healey's
Hibernian Minstrels will make their appcau
ance with the Mirror of Ireland, at the Opera
House in this place. This troupe gave two
entertainments her two;yeats ago, and our
readers will remember that their per-
formance and panorama . of Ireland was very
satisfactory. The troupe now numbers 18
talented performers with a superb Band and
Orchestra. The newspapers throughout the
state are speaking in high praise of their per-
formance this season, and from what we
have seen in our exchanges they are deserv-
ing of all the praise they receive. The scene-
ry is entirely new, giving a graphic descrip-
tion of ancient‘ruins, and ,other places of
interest in Ireland, and our readers ought
to take advantage of this opportunity to see
in minaturc a portion of the scenery of Grand
Oid Ireland.

Great London Show.
This immense consolidation of Sanger’s
Menagerie of trained animals, Dockrill’s
Superb Parisian Circus.,and all the rare fea-
tures of the great London Show, once so fam-
ous throughout the length and breadth of the
land, has been playing the most brilliant en-
gagement in New York on record. It will
exhibit here on Monday, April [29th, in all
its stupendous entirety. Its grand successin
the East last summer, and the popularity of
its theu‘fitished performances are a guaran-
tee of a repetition of its former triumphs dur-
ing its present tour. The New York Daily
Telegram, of March 30th, says of it:
“This magnificent exhibition seems to have
an extraordinary firm gfip on the public, and
its success this season bids fair to surpass
even that of last fall,when the attendance was
than any place in the city, Iras been literally
packed with delighted men, women and chil-
dren, and the applause has been enthusiastic
and spontaneous. The verdict of everyone
is, after sitting through this superb entertain-
ment, as such an exhibition as that given by
the Great London never had its equal on this
side of the water. Everything seems singu-
larly neat. The acts follow each other in the
ring with entertaining rapidity. The jokes of
the Irish and French clowns strike one as re-
freshingly new; the music by Robinson’s
Band is wonderously well selected, and the
entire performance is unique and grand. The
visitor fails to discover anything lacking in
the entire entertainment. Madam Dockrill,
that superb artist, and James Robinson the
famous bareback rider, fairly divide the hou-
ors between them each performance, and

The hurdle act of WilliamGorham is the best
we have seen in the ring for 9. Ion -time. and
the juggling act of Miss Pauline e is some-
thing to be seen and wondered at. The five
performing elephants, in addition to their
other marvelous performances,now go through
a regular drill with the accuracy and intelli-
'gence of human beings. Tire Mention of the
circus cannot be surpassed. and the finest
class of people patronize it. '

The Ocean House, Nantucket, is to be sold

Openings, has issued invitations to the gen-
tlemen to attend an opening Of spring goods

The long expected “Easter Concert" was
held in the Congregational church on Sun-
day ‘ev'enin'g. Elsborate preparations had
been made, and the-decoration of- the pulpit
and cross with flowers-"was superb. The
exercises were opened by the 8011001 sing-
ing “Up from the sealed tomb,” the chair-
man Edward Beard reminding all not to be
much absorbed in the subject, as to forget
the object, for thc'exercise was not alone
for an hour’s entertainment, but to remind
that Jesus died for all. Mr. Beard read a
portion of scripture and Deacon Ferris led
in prayer; at quartets “He is risen” by Misses
Scott and Pennell and Messrs. Pennell, was
sung, f0110wed by-readiugs of L. J. Blake
and J. M. Layton, in answer to questions by
the leader, after which many questions and.
answers were given by the school. “Behold
the hallowed place” was sung. by the school,
Miss Benedict accompanying on the piano
and Punzelt on the Clarionet. Miss Maggie
Norton recited an appropriate piece in the
Resurrection, very distinctly, and with much
expression. Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. St.
John sang the two part song"‘When the
Easter bells are singing" very sweetly and
with much pathos. Here followed a series
of questions and answers from the Bible,
probably of great interest to those who
could distinctly hear the responses. The
portion of the . school seated under the
North and South gallerieschanted answers
to scripture questions by the leader, Profes-
sor Disbrorv-leading and accompanying on
the piano. A recitation by Miss M. Nash
followed, she standing on the platform, hold-
ing a beautiful lily, which she placed on the
cross. The beautiful and appropriate hymn.
“Golden Bells" was sung by the school, the
semi-chorus by a part of the infant class.
In answer to the question “By what was
Resurrection followed” by the leader, respon-
ses weremade by teachers and scholars,
designated by members from 1 to 9, when
Miss Annie Selleck sang a part of the hymn
“I know that my'Redeemer liveth.” other
responses followed, after the school had
sung the hymn “He dieth no more.” Rev.
Mr. Dunning made the closing address, re-
ferring to the autumn concert, he said he
liked the old term best "fall”, for various
reasons. He asked the scholars if they ha (I
ever looked at a bean, on one side is a little
spot called the eye, all the life in the bean
is the eye when it is put in the ground, the
eye lives and the bean dies, but the blossom
and fruit of the .bean follows, so our body
dies and the soul lives. He gave other il-
lustrations, by,referring to the worm cucas
ing itself in a cocoon and after a time it
came out a beautiful butterfly. The whole
doctrine of the Resurrection is illustrated by
this. If the eye of the bean was hurt, or if
the cocoon had been harmed, the fruit
would be imperfect, Christ was the first
fruit, a perfect Resurrection. Be careful to
plant the perfect seed, that you may rise in
the likeness of his Resurrection. The school
sang in closing “Bursting from the gates on
high.” Committee to prepare for the next
concert, Dr. Kendall, C. Swartz, Misses.-
Florcncc.Bcncdict and Clara Dunning. The
exercises were interesting in the , extreme,
and attended by a very large congregation.
Many from other churches being present.
There were some ungenerous as to remark
when leaving, that there was too.much ex-
pense and show at such concerts. We would
remind them that the flowers at Trinity
church, N. Y., on Friday cost, it is said
$1000.
That poor woman, Mrs. Theo. Tilton has

Norwalk—Aims.Houscfcalciilate'd to create
falscuifnpréssions inf the' minds of, readers.
I kubvi'nothiug abodtwtlre' cOndltionin which
children have been sent previous to this
year, but Miss Davis has no reason to com-
plain of the two or three sent by the present
Board of Selectmen." In accdrdancc with
my duty as Selemman, I sought and obtained
places for thre'c or four of the Norwalk chil-
dren at the Home, thus saving to' the town
the cost of maintaining them there. I
sought to Send others to the Home, but Miss
Davis claimed that she could not receive
them 'as she had all that she could care for.
After the others were taken away she finally
consented to have their places filled, and I
instructcd the ”Aims House keeper to fit out
and send over a boy and girl. He bought an
entirely new suit at one of our stores for the
boyfand purchased the material fora new
dress, &c., for the girl, which was properly
made up; and both children wefe taken over
in their new suits. their old suits being also
sent. In the face of these facts Miss Davis
says: .
“Last Monday afternoon two children
came, the girl almost naked as far as protec-
tion went; the boy of} four years with one
suit only,—his were good, but he needed a
change. They brought a small bundle of
rags and dirt principally, although there
were one or two decent white garments.
These I returned immediately to Mr. Smith.”
The people can thus see for themselves how
reasonable her charges are. ~ '
Miss Davis closes her letter as follows :—
“I feel I am insulted by such conduct on
the part of some one or ones, and can bear
it no longer. Your children must come with
gocd garments, an entire change of every
article, and clean. To you, as heads of small
families, I ask, am I asking too much ?" ‘
As it is the place of the Home to supply
the children with necessary clothing, I think
Miss Davis ought to be satisfied and pleased
with the new clothing voluntarily furnished
The Town of Norwalk paid
the 'sum of $518 to the Home for the last
quarter’s support and maintenance of theNor-
walk children, and _I, ,certainly think the
Town is entitled to credit for liberality, in-
stead of being subject to insulting letters in
the newspapers from the matron of the Home.
Yours truly, ANDREW Shannon.
