EDITORIAL LETTER.
i} h I >3 IVAsUINGTON, May 11th, 1878.
DEAR GAZETTE i— g
I The democratic rabble in the House are
still in the dirast perplexity. The prudent
men of their own party are striving in every
way torepress 31nd suppress fthe determina-
tion of the less discreet to press forward the
Florida "investigations. . In Other words no
one has yet been found courageous enough to
hold down the heels of that mule, and :0
thus far, no attempt has been made to inaug.
urateetheggreat Presidential Fraud investiga-
tion. ,‘ It has leaked out that if such an effort
Jbe'lma'de,"Gen. Garfield, or some other repub§
liean will move an amendment to investigate
I “all frauds in all the states," and this is not
the feast for which lhe mouths of the faith-
ful are watering. The best men of the dem-
ocratic party in Congress know f all well that
a most damaging case would be made out
against their own party were anything of the
kind attempted. A prominent democrat at
the House made the remark in our presence
to-day, that “there were too many demccrats
who had been eating the same pork to make
any investigation on party grounds advis-
able.” In regard to the vote of Florida it
may be said that the Senate and House com-
mittees of the last Congress, particularly the
Senate committee, left nothing unturned that
could be reached to expose the bottom facts
of the case on both sides. Senators Sargent
and COOper were particularly earnest in their
investigation, and they found a much larger
number Of voters who swore that they voted
the Republican ticket than were recorded on
the poll-lists. The House committee also
found that a much larger democratic vote
was recorded there than the legitimate
strength of that party in that locality. There
will be no investigation of the presidential
question unless the hot-heads break away
from the restraints of their leaders. The
more cautious and sensible leaders of the
democracy are far more exercised over the
telegrams of Tildcn’s nephew and confiden-
tial secretary and managing agent in the late
canipaign,Mr. Pelton, than they are over any
correspondence or telegrams in the interest of
Mr. Hayes. All that is alleged, even in his
letters, is that Mr. Hayes, asked that the re-
turning boards should do their duty. Pelton,
the blood-relativercpresentative of Tilden,
telegraphed to his Oregon manipulators ad-
vising them to “buy a Republican elector;
make payment contingent 0111 result _ in
March, and draw for any amount required.”
There is 'so marked a difference between
those two sides of the question, that the
democrats see and feel the force of the vari-
ation.
L. G. Dennis, the Florida confessor, left
the city last evening in disgust at the back.
wardness of the democrats in commencing
the long-talked of Presidential investigation.
Before leaving he said he had no faith in the
sincerity of the democrats in professing to
desire a thorough investigation, and intimat-
ed that when they open the inquiry a state of
facts will be developed which will quiet their
cry of fraud against the Republicans. Being
asked if he had any idea how soon the House
would take action on the proposed investiga-
- tion, he replied, “I think about the time of
‘kingdom come,’, as they say. The democrats
don’t seem to havebither the ability or the
courage. Theremust - be something rotten
on the democratic side, which they are fear-
ful will be exposed. I imagine they think
the Republicans may steal their thunder." '
THE BANKRUPT LAW.
The last subject up in the Senate when it
adjourned yesterday to Monday, was the time
when the Bankrupt law should, if repealed,
finally expire. Senator-Eaton in an off-hand
speech sustained the Thurman amendment
fixing the time at the first of January, 1879.
Senator McCreary, Of Kentucky, made a very
'eloquent and forcible speech in favor of its
immediate repeal.
IN TnE noose,
yesterday, the principal subject discussed
was a measure to establish and conduct inter-
state commerce. The Honse is getting well
forward with the Appropriation Bills, and
there seems no reason why an adjournment
may not be reached by the first Of July, un-
less the time is frittered away in trifling and
absolutely absurd investigations whid have
been conducted all throughthe session for no
other purpose than to gather some material
for the. fall campaign. Thus far there; have
been scarce any but democrats caught ‘as der-
elict, very much to the amusement of Re-
public-ans and disgust of, the democracy.
Glover has made himself the butt of ridicule
in his own party paper liefeand among his
allies in the'Hou'sc, be€ause thus far he has
been able‘only to catch men ’of his own par-
ty. A most amusing incident occured in the
investigation going on in the public printing
office; {hinted at" Mr. Ciapp, the cxpublic
print'crrhnd“ wliO now edits the Republican
n cwspapcr here. Mr. Defrces was called on
to testify. as to whether “political printing
had’nOI been gratuitously done at his office.”
He replid not a pcnny’s worth while under
his management. He was then asked if such
was not the fact under his predecessor, Mr.
Clapp." Defrces replied that the books of the
Office indicated that work had been done and
charged, and against which charges there
were no credits of payments. Here the eyes
' of democratic investigators began to flash
with-delight. "‘Can you give the names of
these men, Mr. Defrces ?” blandly continued
the chairman. “Yes sir,” responded Defrces,
“there is Senator —, of one the Carolinas;
Representatives so and so~present members
of th'é‘lHouseth stand charged for printing.
All of them are democrats with the ex-
ception of Gen Butler, who stands charged
with stimuli unliquidated'bill. The counte-
nances of the investigators fell below zero at
this revelation, for they had not supposed that
a democratic congressman would be allowed
credit there to, the least degree, especially as
it is in direct violation of the law to do any
printing at the government office except for
the cash down.
ANOTHER ONE on THE voncmms.
And now Chairman Glover, who is running
over the vouchers of expenditures for the
Morrison-Louisiana committee, has found a
voucher for $196 for champagne, brandy,
claret and whisky. '
OUT or worn.
As a sample of the numbers pressing on
all sides to procure employment it _ may be
said that at the examination which has been
conducted at the Treasury 'Department the
present week to fill vacancies in cadetships of
our revenue marine service. and W there
are but four vacancies; there were forty con-
testants, and at the Surgeon Generals office
where there are but thirty places to be filled,
there were overcaethousand applicants.
Speaker Randall to-duy received adispateh
from a member of the Ohio legislature stat-
ing that the house had passed the bill to re-
district that state. Randall has taken a
special interest in this redistricting scheme,
and has written a letter tO the democrats in
the Ohio legislature, urging it as a necessary
coup (Z'clal, to maintain democratic ascen-
dency in the next House. - ~ - .
PROPAGATION or men.
The effortsiof the U. S. fish commissmn
for the propagation of salmon and their iu~
troduction into the suitable rivers of the
country have been wonderfully successful.
They are beginning to be caught in the Mer-
rimac, the Delaware and the Connecticut.
One ‘was received here a few, weeks ago
caught in the Delaware weighing :23 pounds,
and another a day or two ago from the Con-
necticut weighing some 15 pounds, beth of
them hatched from the fish , commission’s
'ova. These salmon bring from 70 to 75
cents a pound. It is expected that in time,
by a proper development of our capacitits in
this respect, we will export salmon into
Canada instead of importing them from that
countl')"

Mr. J. W. Milner, the assistant U. S. fish
commissioner, who returned, recently from

HOME FROM THE wsnm‘ac.
Secretary Sherman, General Sherman and
General Van Vliet returned to the city to-
day from Cieveland,0hio. It will, of course,
interest the Norwalk friends of Mrs Senator
Cameron, nee Shermon, to know that a very
large number of distinguished people from
this city attended the wedding. There were
fully one thousand invitations issued to the
wedding at the church, and several hundred
to the reception given the bridal party at the
residence of Mr. Hoyt of Cleveland.
The principal gifts received were the
groom's present of a necklace and bracelets
of diamonds worth $55,000, a gold horseshoe
set Of diamonds from a near friend, diamond
earrings and breast-pin from Gen. Sherman
and wife, a check for $5,000 from Secretary
Sherman, and innumerable articles of gold
and silver to the amount of not far from
$100,000. 0

At the 2d M. E. Church.
Mrs. VanCott continues her meetings at
this church, and they seem to be constantly
increasing in interest. She talks every af-
ternoon and evening, and conducts numerous
special meetings. The attendance has been
large, and shows no indication of falling off.
On Sunday last she was present at the Sun-
day School session, and Sup. Adams, after a
customery opening exercises, gave her charge.
One hundred children rose for prayers, and
subsequently fifty-five gave "in their names to
join the church on probation—making 92
probationists in all, from the Sunday school.
The school is in a very flourishing condition,
having 407 names on the rolls. The great
interest manifested is shown in the fact that
321 were present last Sunday. Next Satur-
day afternoon Mrs.VanCott will give her fare«
well talk to the children, and invites all the
children in town to attend. Last Saturday
the attendance was large.
Meetings are to be held this week, daily,
at 3 and 7% p. m.
Next Saturday night Mrs. Van Cott will
close her labors here, and has promised on
that occasion to delivers temperance address.
Next Sunddy she has an engagement in New
York city. Next month she proposes start-
ing for California.
The collections at her meetings have been
quite large. The money goes to the benefit
of the church, but out of the fund raised
the church will be able to ntender Mrs. Van
Cott liberal renumeration, although we under-
stand she makes nostated charge for her ser-
vices. ' »
In addition to our own residents, people
throng to hear her from all the adjhcent
towns.

On Thursday noon, the First ‘Congrcgao
tional church was the scene of one of the
most brilliant social events of the season—the
marriage of Miss Fannie M. Bissell, daughter
of Rev. S. B. S. Bissell, of this place, and
Mr. Theodore Cuyler Patterson, a young law-
yer of Philadelphia, Pa. The day was not
propitious, but the hard rain did not prevent
the assembling of a large audience to
witness the interesting ceremony. Mr.
Gibson entertained the assembly with choice
his skillful manner. As the guests arrived
they were escorted to reserved seats by the
gentlemanly ushers, the elegant toilets of the
ladies attracting much attention. Many
friends of the family were present from out-
of-town. Amongtlie gentlemen, we specially
noticed the Rev. Theodore Cuyler, Of
Brooklyn, and Gen. Brayton Ives—brother-
inolaw of the bride. Rev. J. A. Hamilton,
Pastor of the church, was seated on the plat.
form, which was profusely decorated with
flowers. Promptly on time the doors opened
and the procession marched up the aisle.
The bride, leaning on the arm of her Reverend
father, was elegantly dressed in white silk,
with long white veil, and carried a bouquet
of lilies of the valley. The bridegroom fol.
lowed escorting Mrs. Bissell, who took a seat
with the guests. Three little nieces and a
nephew had the honor of “standing up.”
The ceremony was perfomcd by the bride’s
father,Rev. Mr. Bissell,who was visibly affect-
ed, but who made the service very impressive
After the service the out-of-town guests
were entertained at Rev. Mr. Biiisell's resi-
dence. No display was mide of the presents
received.

The store of Orrin K. Scofield corner of

thieves on Monday night of last week. They
were evidently _ after hard cash, for they did
not stop to cury off many groceries. Their
haul was small. The same night the saloon
of J. Matheis, Main street, was also entered,
but the thieves were hardly paid for their
trouble.

rustic scene, for the taking of what is known
as' “picnic pictures.” As the combination
admits of some twenty changes, they are
admirably adapted for groups, 'as well as
single pictures. For children they are un-

positions, not compelling the little ones to
sit bolt upright as in the Old style. They

Letters From the People.
Masses Enirons:—Will you kindly sug-
gest to the ushers in some of our churches—
wc do not know if it is the custom .iu all of
them,—the impropriety Of [seating persons
during morning prayer? To those who.dcsirs
to join in spirit while the minister presents
the united prayers of the congregation, the
interruption is a most serious one. The
average worshipper has seldom self-control
enough in resist the inclination to observe
who is passing in especially if squeaking
shoes and an elaborate toilet call attention to
the late-comer. Is it not the proper thing to
do, for all who mmt be late, to wait by the
door till the prayer is ended ? BIENSEANCE.

EDITORs GAZETTE :—
While the goodly people of the borough
were assembling in the various churches
located on the Green, last Sunday evening, a
most shocking desecration of the day and
hour was witnessed by them. A number of
boisterous drunken roughs who were out on
a Sunday spree, raced their teams through
the streets, shouting and yelling to the fullest
capacity of their lungs. Ar similar scene
transpired at the close of the service at the
M. E. church, and the parties committing
the outrage seemed to take delight in being
especially boisterous when in the immediate
vicinity of the church. Will the christian
people submit to such violations of the law.
Let the authorities instruct the police to
promptly arrest any such offender, and im-
pose upon them the heaviest penalty possible.
After a few of the rowdies have had a lesson
taught them they will understand that -Nor-
walk is not the place for Sunday horse trots;
order and quiet will prevail, and church-
goers will not have their sense of decency
and propriety trampled upon. Where are
the Blue Laws (1’) it, would be well to inforce
them on such occasions.

The New School Geographies.
For the more complete information of the
teachers and patrons of the Public Schools of
the town Of Norwalk, we give the latest
action Of the Board of School Visitors, in
the adoption of a new school geography.
At a regular meeting of the Board of
School Visitors, held May on. 1878, the
Secretary of the Board was instructed to
transmit to the Publishers of Newspapers of
the town of Norwalk, notice as follows :—.
The Board of School Visitors have adopt-
ed for .use in the Public Schools of Norwalk.
Monteith’s School Geographies.
Teachers“ hereafter, in the formation Of
new classes In geography, will direct the use
of Monteith’s Geographies.
Attest, Lonis J. BLAKE,
Secretary N orwalk Board of School Visitors.
Killed on the Rail.
Shortly after daylight Thursday morning Mr.
‘Geo. Seymour discovered the dead body of
a man undera freight car on the Danbury
track opposite the' freight depot. The body
was lying under the truck between the
wheels held tightly by the break gearing,
which had to be unfastened before the re-
mains could be drawn out. The man proved
to be a stranger—an unfortunate tramp,
about 40 years of age. His face was badly
discolored. He was of medium height and
bad light hair and very red chin whiskers.
The car under which he was found had
been standing on the side track all day Wed-
nesday, and it is thought that he had crawled
under the car last night, while intoxicated,
to sleep, and that when the night train came
in and switched on the side track the car
was moved, and the man caught by the truck
gearing, dragged back and forth, and in that
manner killed.
The body was examined by the Coroner
and jury of inquest, but beyond the initials
“J . R. V." pricked on one of the arms, there
was no clue to the identity of the deceased.
The verdict necessarily was that of accidental
death, as far as could be ascertained—Shield.

That unregenerated concern, the Stock
Exchange, is sure Of one piece of good for-
tune, anyway. Its elcction tO-day promises
to be hotly contested, but in cannot fail to
have a good President, for the name of Mr.
Brayton Ives heads all the tickets. Mr. Ives
is a gentlemen and a scholar as well as a

and is a member of the Century. The Stock

Catherine E. Beecher died at Elmira, Sat-
urday, in the 78th ear of her age. She was
the eldest of Rev. yman Beecher’s thirteen
children. She was educated at Litchfield, in
this State, where her father was settled. At
twenty years of age, she was plunged in
grief over the death of her betrothed hus-
band, Prof. Fisher, of Yale, who was ship.
wrecked. In 1822 she opened a select school
in Hartford, which becamenoied as one of
the best in the country. She was the author
of quite a number of books. mainly devoted
to the training of women, which were widely
circulated.
This has been the worst day of all with
Glover for the democrats. In resuming his
inquiries regarding Louisiana matters lie
stumbled on the unpleasant fact that Morri-
sOn’s democratic committee spent $50,000.
The first item of this expenditure proved
equally embarrassing. It was no less than a
bill of one hundred and ninety-seven dollars,
incurred in laying the foundation for a store
of suppliesfor the committee to begin work
with.’ A leading grocer of this city was
called and brought his blotter. The first item
for this democratic committee was two has-
kets of champagne, the last was one dozen
Old Stag whisky, and between were various
amounts of the best brands of sherry, brandy,
claret and cigars. There are also similar bills
which were incurred at New Orleans.

We wish that the, Norwalk temperance
people would see to it that not so much bad
whiskey is sent to New Canaan. It is too
bad that a man can’t go down there witha
load of wood, without becoming so intoxi-
cated that he falls out of his wagon on arri-
val in this village—New Canaan Messenger.
