.; 2.2-:le edemoralizhed, democracy have hadtheir
national committee summoned here for con.
sultalion. It met at the Arlington on Wed-
iicsday,'Sen§.t'or Barnum being at its head.
It held several sessions? and the “situation"
was earnestly and 'vigilantly considered.
There were present most of the members
from the several f states, but after” due
deliberation it’ was concluded not to ‘issue
any address but to confine itself to the simple
passage of a resolution justifying the investi-
gation of the frauds in Florida and Louisiana.
The minds ofthe different members of the
committee were far from harmonious. An
effort to declare it t ) be the determin Man of
the democracy to unseat Hayes in the event
of fraud being proven, was smothered, as
was the resolution declaring such not to be
their purpose. It was ascertained that a
majority of the committeewere of the same
opinion as a large number of the democratic
senators, that the Housé had loaded the party;
down with a most Weighty and unpioluetive
elephant. But having the animal on their
hands some means must be adopted to render
him as little damaging to the "cause” as pos-
sible. The remark of Senator Eaton that
the democrats of the House were “a set of
d—n fools,” finds very general endorsement.
Meantime Mr.l‘otter and his committee seem
in a most perplexing quandary. Secretary
Sherman has thro am down the gauge of bat-
tle and in his letter to Chairman Potter de.
nouuces the charges made against him rs
falsehoods‘ and , known to be such by the
mover of the resolution. The plucky Secre-
tary has thus put the committee on the dc—
feusivc from the start, and Potter is as both-
crccl how to take hold of the subject as was
the Irishman to seize the hornet and M the
same time escape the business end of the
pugnacious little ins’ect. Meantime the most
ominous hints and whispers are given out of
the dire and dreadful things that are going to
be brought out, while candid democratslwill,
tell you its all a big scare and utter folly and
nonsense. ..
LOOKING or run nvmuxon.
Dr. Alfred Morton, of Syracusc,New York,
who prepared and fixed up the McLin Flori-
da confessions and the accompanying affida-
vits, has suddenly left the city. It was
given out that he had gone north, but a dem-
ocratic member is authority for the statement
that he has gone back. to Florida to make, the
thing more complete, as the democrats are
not exactly satisfied with the present shape‘
of the “new” evidence which they have to
place bcfgre the select investigating commit-
tee. They want more and complete returns.
It is . stated that democratic emissari‘es are
also busily at ~ work in Louisiana. Hon.
Alexander Stephens predicts that the iniqui.
ty will cost at least a million of dollars, and
only result in furtherprostratiou of business
and greater financial distress to the people.
He pronounces the whole scheme a prodig-
ious and unpardonahle political blunder. He
fears that next fall the people will reclaim
the House from the control of such a set of
mad-caps and ninnies. The democrats in the
House have already begun to weaken and
show the white feather under the demoraliz-
ing influences of letters and telegrams from
their home constituencies and the tone of
their own press. An elaborate editorial on
the Potter resolution in that leading demo-
cratic paper of the West, the Cincinnati En-
quirer. attracts considerable attention in
Washington political circles. It is urged in
the Enquirer article that the investigation is
inexpedient as a matter of political policy.
a PANIC.
Carter Harrison of Ilhnois, an erratic dem-
ocratic brother of honest impulses and there- .
fore dangerous to his party, introduced a res-
olution on his own responsibility and without
the previous knowledge of the brethren, in-
tending to protect President Hayes’ title from
attack. It was an unexpected bombshell, and
poor Potter rushed at him with ill~conccaled
wrath, and finally induced him to withdraw
his motion. The Republicans refused to
vote again and for a time left the democrats
without a quorum again. Had his resolu-
tion passed it would have placed the Presi-
dent under a sort of obligation to the dc-
uiocracy for the security of his title, which
he, or any other honest republican should
repel, he having been elected by a special law,
devised. originated and carried out by the
democrats themselves. They attempted to
play the game of “heads I win and tails you
_ loose,” and being baffled, they are now ready
to go to the extreme of another civil revolu—
tion to carry their ends, which is a seizure of ‘
the power and patronage of the government.
NEXT.
Then was introduced the Wilsou'umeuda
tory -rcsolution enlarging the scope of the
Potter investigation to all points “where the
committee have probable cause to believe”
frauds were committed in other states. The
practical result of this,-also, would have been
to enlarge the scope of the investigation, for
with such a committee “probable cause”
would exist only where the democracy had a
point to gain. The brilliaucy of Cronin's 1b
boiled lobster-claw nose, would have blinded
them to the attempted purchase of an Oregon
elector, nor would they ever have found
“probable cause” anywhere where Tildeu’s
Southern rssassins reddened his claims for
the Presidency with the life-blood of mur-
dered Republicans.
ms KEMPER COUNTY mssaonus.
The Chisholm memorial services took place
at the Metropolitan M. E. Church. The pas-
tor, Rev. Dr. Naylor, previous to commenc-
ing, stated that the services were in commem-
oration of the death of three persons who
were shot by lawless men, April 29th 1877,
in Kemper County, Miss—W. W. Chisholm,
his son and daughter. The time and.
place was appropriate, as nearly a year
had elapced since the fearful tragedy, which
was surrounded . by such circumstances . as to
prevent public religious services, and this
was the church where Judge Chisholm wor-
shipped when in this city. Dr. Naylor dis-
claimed any intention to sketch the events of
the past, and said his object was to point the
- bereaved family and friends to the Saviour
for consolation. Bishop Haven followed
with an culog , in 'the course of which he
said :
“One Indian massacre arouses every part
of the land, be it the Modocs of Oregon, the
Sioux of Minnesota, the Utes ofColorado, or
the Comanches of Arizona ; indignation and
wrath leaps from end to end of the continent,
and‘lhat, too, when no one, dreams that the
dread fee is to start again into eastern homes
and renew his horrors at Wyoming and
Schenectady. But this deed has univer.
sal national weakness, it breeds universal na-
tional disaster. A people that cannot protect
itself is no people. It falls to pieces when it
allows its members to be cut to pieces. We
must carry forward and complete the. work
in the national protection of every citizen in
his every right. We must defend freedom of
speech and freedom of ballot, or we perish
from the earth. To this coming perfection
of national peace and power this sad event
will contribute. This family group are mar-
tyrs to American equality of light, to the
Declaration of Independence and to the pre-
amble of the Constitution. It was for the
cause of equal rights the father pad the fam-
ilyfcll. It was for the protection of every
citizen at the polls, for true democracy, the
government of the voters, legally and fear-
lessly expressed, for the American nation,
for the rights of mankind, that this Citizen of
America,with his brave son and brave (laugh:
ter, laid down their lives. Their cries of
agony shall never be forgotten—never below,
never above. ‘Thcir means the voice rc-
doublc to the hills, and they to Heaven.’ ” .
The Post, the democratic “organ" here, in
criticising the remarks of Bishop Haven, as-
serted that the murderers of Judge Chisholm,
his young son and daughter, were the “chain-
pious of Southern Society.” .

.The Democrats-madca botch johot the
Shields matter, as they do of everything re-
quiring patriotism and common sense. Their
first blunder was in preferring a rebel to him
for Doorkeeper of the House. Then to con-
done fhat piece of rank injustice to a brave
soldier they luudertcok to do what was not-
consistent. with the law and policy of the
Government in placing him on the retired
list of the army when he had no status to
justify it. Their great blunder was in not
doing a brave old soldier justice when right
and law gave them the opportunity. But a
rebel had to be'cared for. The scheme was
defeated in the Senate by both democratic
and republican votes. It was an easy way to
extricate the democracy from their unpa-
triolic and uncomfortable record, by raiding
on the treasury and making a great pretence
of generosity for a Union soldier, with the
peOple’s money. ' '
5‘ GONE TO THE ADIRONDACKS.
Vice President Wheeler, Mrs. Hayes,
Fanny Hayes and Dr. Woodworth, left
Washington for a visit to Malone, N. Y., Mi}
Wheeler’s birthplace and residence. From
Malone they will viSit the Adirondacks. Mr.
Wheeler has camped in the Adirondacks
every summer with one exception, for the
past twenty-five years. Mrs. Hayes has
never experienced the pleasure of catching
trout in the northern lakes. The visit to the
mountains is made early in the season to avoid
the pestiferous .lunc files find mosquitoes.

BASE BALL.
The contest between the New Havens and
Nationals this afternoon is the all-absorbing
topic among base ball admirers in this city.
The fetter have been playing an exception-
ally strong game duriug their tour southward,
and Bauuou has been practicing his “curves”
With special reference to this contest. An
immense concourse are out at the National
Grounds as we‘ write, the game being still
contested. In the pool-selling last evening,
the New Havens were. favorites, the odds
being about $20 to $15. The bidding was
very lively and a large sum was deposited in
the pool-box.

Mrs. VanColt on Temperance.
The desire to hear Mrs. VanCott on the
subject of Temperance is so general, that
we presume the attendance at her lecture
at the 2d M. E. church, on Wednesday even-
ing, will be limited only by the capacity of
the church. The small admission fa will
few from attending.
Death of James II. Hoyt.
News was received on Saturday of the
death of Mr. James H. Hoyt, which event
occurred at noon on that day, at Norwich,
Conn. In boyhood he was apprSuticed to
James Reed, then. pulisher of the Gaza-urn,
to learn the printing business. Subsequently
he was connected, for a short time, with.
Mr. Byington, -iu the publication of the
paper. In 1850. he closed his connection
with the GAZETTE, and moved, we believe,
to Rhode Island, since which time we have
seldom heard from him. For several years
past, we understand, he has been prostrated
by disease. Many of our older citizens will
remember him. .

The Americus.
We do not wish to really find any fault
with the management of our Steamboat, but
it does seem to us that if the annoying built
of some of the passengers being allowed to
Smoke in that part of the boat allotted for the
use of females could be stopped, it would be
a great relief to that portion of the public
which contribute so largely to the patronage
of the boat—the ladies. Capt. Perkins says
that he has done all he could do to notify
people, and we know that he had signs
posted all through the saloons of the Adel-
phia last year forbidding the practice. Sev-
eral editorials have been written in regard to
the matter, but still some of the patrons seem
to pay no attention whatever. That part of
the boat where the Captains ofiice is, should
not be used as a smooking room, it being so
near the ladies‘ saloon. 'The officers of the
Boat should in all cases politely caution the
thoughtless travelers, and by so doing we
think eventually the nuisance would be en-
tireiy abated. Smokers should understand
that no smoking is allowed aft of the wheel.
A reduction of the freight on vegetables has
just been made on the Steamboat as follows :
Barrels of vegetables 12% cents; Crates
of vegetabless cents; Crates of Berries 10
cents. - »
This looks as if the Steamboat Co. meant
to accommodate us in freight rates as well as
on the fare.

About 10 o’clock the Lodge adjourned, and

A Lamehtable Affair.
On Friday umaoalmonnmanity
was startled by the new; of onc'of those sad
andstrauge affairs which have of» late years
become so frequent—the suicide of a prom-
iuent and esteemed citizen. Mr. Wm. T.
Comstock,]; his bottle in South. Norwalk,
during temporaryaberrntiousof miudptook
his. life by cutting: liisflthroat with a razor.-
At first some hopes were entertained that his
that 'iiight he was relieved from his suffering
by death. The cause of the act was simply
disease. He had been for years a chronic
suflcrer from neuriilgia and dyspepsia. and
could find ' no permanent relief. In 1876
he accompanied 'Dr. Barbour to Europe
and for some time after his return seemed
somewhat improved in health.- Reoently he
has with'difiiculty been able to attend torbus-
ness. Last week he was confined tojhis bed,
and by advice of Ila-Barbour he was careful-
ly watched for fear that he would do himself
some'iujury. ‘ Friday morning he said to his
wife that she had better go down and see
about dinner as he thought he would go to
sleep. She left him a few minutes, and upon
her return found him lying on his right side
on the edge of the" bed, with his throat cut
and arm gushed. The horror-stricken wife
gave the alarm, and Drs. Lyrics and Barbour
were sent for. The doctors say that there
were five gushes in the throat, and a cut on
the wrist. .
Mr. Comstock was a partner in the well-
;kuowu firm of Comstock. Brothers. clothing
dealers, and was {man esteemed by all who
knew him. He was of genial disposition, a
man of character and integrity, an upright,
honorable citizen, and devoted father. He
leaves a wife and daughter who have the
sincere sympathies of the entire community
in their deep affliction. Bis funeral was
attended yesterday, and the remains were
taken to New Cauaau,—his native place,—
for interment.
The annual session of the State Medical
Society was held in New Haven, on Wednes-
day and, Thursday last. The President of
the Society, Rev. Dr. R. Hubbard, of Bridge
port, presidcdgovcr tli‘e‘deliberatieus. All
sections of the State were well represented.
DrRiarletou, of Norwich, was chosen Presi-
dent for the ensuing year. ' Dr. Samuel
Lynes, of Norwalk, was appointed on the
committee to nominate professors for the
Medical Institution 'in Yale College. The
following were elected Fellows from Fairfield
County in 1878: Dr. James E. Barbour, Dr.
James G. Gregory, Dr. Robert Lauder, Dr.
N. E. Wordin, Dr. G. A. Shelton. A com-
mittee of one from each county was appoint.
ed to draft an act to regulate the practice of
walk, was appointed on the committee, for
Fairfield County. Dr. J. G. Gregory was
appointed a member of the committee on
Unfinished Business, and Dr. Jas. E. Barbour
was appointed on a committee on Estayists
and the Nominating Committee.
The case of Dr. M. B. Pardec, of South
Norwalk, recently expelled by the County
Society, was taken up at the evening session,
and the action of the Convention is reported
as follows by the Courier .- ‘ '
ones or int. PARDEE. -
Report was made in the onset Dr. M. B.
Pardee, of South Norwalk. expelled from the
county society b a two-thirds vote, that the
case be referred k to the Fairfield County
Society. A minority report was presented
that the, action of the society ought to be sus-
tained. Remarks were made on the aspects
of the case by Dr. Wordin, who did not vote
for expulsion. in favor of the minority re-
port, and Dr. Russell. of Hartford, spoke in
support of the majority report, in res use
to remarks of inquiry by Dr. Wainwrig t, of
Hartford. There were things, he said, that
Jacked as if Dr. Pardee had. given aid and
comfort to the enemy, and there was sworn
testimony that he had net consulted an irreg-
ular practitioner. Dr. Pardec’s wife, the ir-
regular practitioner referred to, became a'
physician some time since. Because Dr. Par-
dee had said of a case which his wife was at.
tending, “Go on with the medicine.” was
hardly sufficient reason for expulsion,without
other basis for conviction. Dr. Russell liked
a man to stand to his colors (without in this
referring to Pardee) and not get nstride the
fence and claim fealty to both kings and take
tribute from both sides. Dr. Barbour, of
Norwalk, thought it mi ht be politic to expel
Dr. Pardee, and that if r. Pardee had come
out and said, “I am guilty, but won’t do so
again,” the society would not have voted as
it did. Mrs. Pardec was a lady of refinement,
and had a perfect right to be a homeopath-
ist, as she would have a right to join the
Baptist church if she chose. The speaker
detailed a case in point at len th bearing on-
thc situation. Dr. Gregory, of orwalk, went
into the hearing with an impartial mind. Dr.
Pardee was found guilty on only four counts.
On one he was excused. -
The speaker did not; think that Dr. Purdue
ought to have been expelled on thecvideucc.
and stated the action of the society for the
enlightenment of the members. The county
society the speaker thought was hasty in its
action. The State society, removed from 10-
cal excitement, was very properly the tribu-
nal, and the majority report was the proper
re ort.
r. Wainwright favored reference back to
the society.
Dr. Lauder urged that the State Society in
I justice to a man resting under charges should
investigate the case, and if Dr. Pardee was
{Innocent to exonerate him, and if guilty expel
m.
The convention remained in session until
midight, when the report was referred back
to the Fairfield County Association.
On Thursday, Dr. Hubbard the retiring
President, delivered quite a long address, and
a number of essays were read, including one
'by Dr. Barbour on “Empyema.” and a
contribution by Dr. Burke on “Hemiplegia
Alternans.” At 3 o’clock the doctors and
guests partock of a grand dinner at the New
Ilaveu House.

the interior arrangement of this church. An
addition is to be erected in the rear, and the
organ and choir will be placed back of the pul-
pit. The gallery now occupied by the choir will
be fitted up with arm chairs which will be
rented. When these improvements are com-
pleted an organ concert will be given.
The entertainment announced to be given
by the social and literay society of. the church
on the 3d of June, has been indefinitely post-
poned, on account of the repairs.

The ladies of Trinity church have reason to
feel well satisfied with their entertainments
given at Music Hall last Thursday and
Wednesday evenings. The weather was fa-
vorable, the attendance large,aud the receipts
very gratifying; amounting, we hear, to over
$400, and netting about $300. Tuesday He'-
ning the farce “Poor Pillicoddy" was played
by local talent,cousistiug of four ladies and
gentlmeu from the Borough, and one lady
from So. Norwalk,—membcrs of the “Ladies'
Own." Thefarce was highly amusing, the
parts were well taken, and each performer
won hearty applause. At the close of this
entertainment, the seats were removed. and
the audience were at liberty to promenade,re-
gale themselves with strawberries and cream,
and everything else which goes to make up
articles. The flowers were abundant and
beautiful, and were contributed, we hear, by
John H. Smith. The table of fancy articles
was very attractive, and sales were brisk.
Small supper tables were arranged around
the Hall, attended by young ladies as wait-
resses, and were constantly filled until a late
hour. On Wednesday evening a concert was
given by ' ladies and gentlemen of Nor-
walk, which is said to have been very fine
and highly appreciated by a large audience.
As some of the Firemen are also members
of the Burnside Guards, some of the com-
panies may not be able to turn out with their
usual number of men.
’The School Festival given by the scholars
of the Union School, city, last Friday even-
ing, was an exceedingly pleasant entertain-
ment. This school has attained an enviable
notoriety in the way of public exhibitions,
and on this occasion Music Hall was well
filled with the patrons and friends of the
school. The programme consisted of recita-
tions, choruses, calisthenic exercises, decla.
motions, a Latin oration, one dialogue, and
a piano duct. The chorus singing by as
many of the children as could stand on the
large stage was very fine, each child seeming
to enter into it with heart and soul ; and their
manner of retiring from the stage, by
marching to music, was one of the prettiest
scenes of the evening. The dumb bell exer-
cise by thirty boys, in uniform, was perform-
ed with scarcely a single mistake; this, as
also the calistheuic and wand exercises, by
thirty-six girls dressed in white, with wreaths
of smilax, evinced much careful training and
practice, and both girls and boys presented
a fine appearance on the stage. The song,
cutitled;“Rcubcn and Rachel,” by the two
little "Quakers,” Master Wallace, Mc Quhae
and Miss Iola Swords, was very cunning and
very gracefully responded by singing another
Quaker song, but their third appearance on
the stage to secure a boquet which had been
thrown them, Was considered the best of all.
“Mother Goose and her Friends” was a very
amusing little farce, in which was represen-
ted “Mother Goose,” “Little boy Blue,”
“Little Tommy Tucker," “Little Jack Hor-
ner,” “Jack and Gill," and other characters,
in costume. The Bachelor, who was forced
to go to London to buy himself a wife, and
his little bride in the wheelbarrow, were
much admired, and all wondered how such
little chicks could be taught to perform their
parts so perfectly. The “Song of the Frogs,"
by a number of boys in green jackets was very
laughable; they were encored, and returning,
played a game of Leap Frog. The reading
“Good Night Papa,” by Miss Blanche Whit-
man was very nicely done, The representa-
tion of Dicken’s “Odd Couples” was not. so
enjoyable, owing, partly to considerable
noise and talking on the part of the scholars,
who had become tired and restless. Miss
Alice Fitch, however, performed her part
with great animation, and could be heard
distinctly. The entertainment was a suc.
.cess, and reflects much credit on both teach-
ers and pupils. The singing was under the
direction of Prof. Wilsou,‘of Rev. Mr. Sel-
lcck's school, and Miss Libbic Selleck pre-
sided at the piano.
