IIARTFORD, Aug. 2l.—The Democratic
committee met here to-day, and fixed Tues.
day, Sept. 17, for the meeting of the State
Convenlion to nominate State officers, in Mu.
sic Hall, New Haven. There was a unani-
mous feeling that the old ticket. with Gov.
Hubbard at its Lead, should be again put in
the field. There was some talk about Con-
gressional nominations. It has been general]
expected that Landers would be renomlna .
He says he is not in the way of any other
candidate, as he has had two terms, but many
of the prominent men in the party, including
the Hartford Timca’ close followers, think an
advantageous change can be made, and ex-
Statc Treasurer and Senator C. M. Pond, is
prominently named to be brought before the
convention. Should the contest be active,
Landers’ chances will be doubtful. In the
Second District, Phelps is sure to run again,
as the Greenback element is strong in that
district. No valdidate is talked of for the
Third District, as it is conceded that Wait,
Republican, will be re-nominated and elected.
In the Fourth District, Warner, who has
served one term, is out of the way, and sev-
eral Democrats want the nomination. but
the plan of the leaders is to get Hon. W. D.
Bishop, President of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Road, to run, if he
will.
There is much “casting about" for candi-
dates, by leading politicians of both parties,
just now, which the “idea” of September will
crystalizc into actual selection and nomina-
tions. For Congress, in the First District,
the most probable candidates are the present
incumbent, Lenders, on the Democratic side,
and Gen. J. R. Hewley, of the Coltrant, as
the Republican candidate. The names of ex-
Lieut.-Gov. Pond is alsofprominently used as
a possible candidate, in the event Mr. Lan-
dcrs declines a re-nominstion. Should the
latter desire to run again, it is understood he
will be put upon the track. There is quite a
general desire, also, among the Republicans
of the Hartford District to put our last candi-
date for Governor, Mr. H. C. Robinson, in
nomination, and if he can be induced to ac-
cept, it is thought there would be very little
doubt of our recovering that, Congressional
District, but as yet Mr. R. has not given the
movement any encouragement. In the 2d or
New Haven District, J udgc Phelps, although
a pronounced infiotionist and greenbacker,
will be renominsted and elected by the
straight out votes of old Jacksonlan bullion
democrats. Lyndc Harrison is now spoken
ofas most likely to be the Republican oppon-
ent of Judge Phelps In the 3d or New
London District, Col. John T. Wait, our
present Republican congressman, will be re-
nominatcd, as hefrom his conspicuous ser-
vice in the last. Congress deserves to be, and
will be reelected by a greatly increased ma-
jority, many democrats in his district having
freely expressed a determination to support
him. Tom vWaller. is supposed to bathe vic-
tim who will be again laid out by the Colonel,
as he has a clean walk over the course. In
the 4th or Fairfield District, the democrats
have candidates enough to fill the whole quota
of New England. By all put usages of the
party Mr. Warner is entitled to a reonomina-
tion. Mr. Barnum, his predecessor, was re.
turned for several Congresses, and nothing is
more clear than Warner's right to expect a
rc-nonfinstion tom his party friends. Even
his own withdrawal from a candidacy will be
interpreted by friend and foe alike as coerced
and his party has no right to subject one it
has hitherto so prominently put before the
public, to such a humiliating attitude of w
bukc. Mr. W. has tried to serve his party just
as well as he knew how and he deserves at its
hands no such public censuring and repudia-
tion. And all personal and individual con-
siderations aside, the claim! of this locality
should not be ignored. Litchfield County
has had its Representative in Congress for
years, and Fairficld County for the first time
in a decade and more, is granted the position
and Nor-walk, which has shown greater gains
for the democracy than any other town in
the district, was very justly honored by a se'
lection of its Congressional candidate, and
we insist that if for any cause Mr. Warner is
thrown overboard, some other Nora-all: dem-
ocrat should be ole eted to succeed him. This
sentiment, we know, very widely pervades
this locality and it will not be wise for the
democracy to ignore it.
Among those namedas the pcmible suc-
cessor of Mr. Warner are E. P. Weed, Asa
Smith, Thos. H. Morison, Gens. Couch and
Taylor. The three former are sensible, prsco
tical business men, and would be a vast im-
provement on what we have had. General
Couch is a soldier by taste and education and
largely familiar with public aflairl.‘ His high
character as a man and general information
would render him a most creditable repre-
sentative to his party, his district and to his
state. Gen. Taylor was a war democrat and
has already served in Congress. His capaci-
ty and better still, his experience, would reu-
der him peculiarly well-fitted for the position.
Then beside those named already before the
public from Stamford, that of F. W. Brug'
gerhof, of Dorian, infrequently suggested.
Mr. B. has had experience in our State legis-
lature, where he deported himself with credo
it. He is a clear-heeded busines man of the
highest character, and if elected would con-
fer honor upon the position. There may be
something in the rumor that President
BishOp craves the place, but we are inclined
to doubt it. His friend and associate on
the Railroad Bomd, Hon. Nat. Wheeler, is
more likely to be the Bridgeport candidate,
in our opinion. The great danger is thatin
the multiplicity of Fairfield County candl-
dates, there will be a compromise forced to
the democratic convention and the nominar
tion return again to Litcbfield County. In
such case the party most likely to obtain the
prize will be George H. Peel, of Falls Vil-
lage. The Republicai nominee should by
right and usage come from Litchfield County.
and Messrs. Miles, Coe and Rockwell are
named as possible candidates. Mr. Miles
carried the 17th District for the State Senate
(which has always been Mr. Barnum's strong.
hold,) and would no doubt carry the largest
vote of any man the Republicans could put
in nomination.

U. s. Senator.
We are very glad to see that our esteemed.
friends of the Oolmmt are impressed with
the necessity of our “catching our here be.
fore we cook him.” We second the motion
and hope every honest Republican will work
to the one end of securing a Republican
State Ticket and Legislature, uninfiuenced‘
and unembarrassed by any entanglements as
Impossible candidates.

Among the most prominently mentioned
names for a Republican condition: for Gov-
ernor, is that of Hon. Oliver Hoyt, of Stem.
:ford. He would make a splendid run and a
splendid governor, but we think the Bepub-‘
.‘licans of the-12th Senatorial District will
have a much more serviceable use for him at
the 5:0ng election. .,

At a meeting of the Prudentialfiommlttee

It has been a mystery how some of the
cheap news-papers of the day are produced.
A recent item in the daily papers gives a clue
to what honest business men have been un-
able to understand. A recently started and
much advocated labor journal of New York
is stated to have gone into bankruptcy with
liabilities at 860,000 and assets 8300. And
still people wonder how some new concerns
can do work so much cheaper than old catch.
learn by experience.
There has been a rumor afloat that the
President intends to remove T. L. James,
from the N. Y. Post Office. The rumor has
been denied by P. M. Gen. Key, so far as
he knows anything about it, and in all prob-
ability it is a rumor. Mr. James hos the
good will of every man in business in the
'city, and they desire no chsn e. If the Pres-
ident shall remove him, it wi lbe more drfii-
cult to satisfy the people over that change,
.than any other that has been made—Hamtl.
to» Republican.
Some busy-body or other is constantly set-
,ting the above remark afloat, but asPresident
Hayes isn’t quite a fool, it probably hasn't
the slightest foundation in fact. Mr. James
is the model P. M. of the western hemisphere
and so acknowledged at Washington among
all parties and claises of business men in New
York. Radical Republican as he is, it is
doubtful if even Tilden could have faced the
current of popular favor for him so far as to
have removed him,‘had he been-inaugurated
instead of Hayes.

The “National American Bar Association

Gov. Hubbard, of this State, was one of
the signers to the call. The meeting was
called to order by ex-Lieut. Governer

Kentucky, was chosed President. Among
those present from this State, were Hon.

We are informed that a very general desire
for the elevation of the bar of the coun‘r],
both in personal standing and higher legal at-
tainments had much to do incalling this Con-
vention together. Hon. Asa B. Woodward

a man named Clary, from Stamford, ac,
companied ,by two ladies, was riding in a
carriage on Main street. When near the we-
tering trough, the horse took fright, upset the
carriage and started got! down the streetv
flagging the vehicle bottom side up. At Mr.
Sherry's upper gate he dashed for the side-
walk, the carriage striking Mr. J. M. Kilboy
who tried to save himself by jumping
oyer the fence. Mr. Kilboy was struck in the
leg and knocked over the fence, hanging sus-A
pended to a picket upon which his clothing
had caught; fortunatelyho was not severely
hurt. but the wound was painful. The horse
kept on down the street, but could make but
little headway, and finalay brought. up at S.
E. Olmstead’s iron gate; he was quite badly
hurt. The two ladies picked themselves up,
but were not seriously injured. Mr. Clary
was struck in the head by the horse’s toof,
andwas taken into Dr. Birch’s house, and Dr-
Nolsn was summoned. He was found to be
not dangerously hurt, and was sent home in
another carriage to his mother's. 'i h: carriage
was but little damaged. All the parties had
a lucky escape from serious injury.
The many friends of Miss Nettie Ross,
will be saddened by the announcement of her
death, which occurred Sunday night last at
her house in West Norwslk. She 'had been
a great sufierer for the past few months from

young life and the only hope of her widowed
mother, fella sacrifice to its fatal ravages.
Her funeral will take place this afternoon.
A South Norwalk subscriber explains that
the “dorg movement," down at the city,
furnishes a very lucrative field of enterprise,
and a good living to the parties on 'in
it. That the fees amount from.$_81to $12 in
each case, all of which, excepting the one
dollar the town gets, is divided up among
the dog-men and lines the pockets of officers
and witnesses. Ergo, either kill or register

Ye Fat Men.
The Fat Men were favored with an ex-
tremely fair and auspicioqu day for their
annual bake, on Thursday last, and therefore
as a matter of course there was a large crowd
present, though,- apparently not so many
heavy weights as formerly. Landlord Foote.
, of the Dorlon House, says that he prepared
a larger‘bake than had ever been eaten there
before and that a larger” number than ever
partook thereof, but yet the bake gave out
before all had been supplied. The crowd
was extremely good natured and more quiet
and orderly than at any previous gathering.
Hardly a drunken person was seen, while in
sOme previous years, there was a very dis-
gusting and disorderly number of drunken
men present. Mr. Foote deserves credit
for his able management.
Commodore Perkins brought up quite a
large party from New York City on the
steamboat Josephine, all of whom appeared
to enjoy the country clam bake.
, Ive's Band furnished agreeable music for
the day. ,
C. W. Bradley, of New Haven, was elected

“Patent Outsides.”
The Herald's quarrel with a leading News-
paper Advertising Agency has drawn into
the debate and with a large sbarge ' of con-
demnation, the modern spawn of‘whst‘h’re
technically called “patent outsidesJfl As we
have been several time's askedftho meaning
of the term, we will state that some few
years since certain organizations were formed
in the larger cities, whose business it isto
print outside: of any number of newspapers
for which they may be able to get orders,
simply changing head lines and send the
some by express or otherwise to the provin-
cial towns where they are ordered. The
matter for these papers, be the number one or
one thousand, is all the same. The type for‘
the advertisements and the reading matter is
but once set up and as the pay for the adver-
tisements all goes to the city concern supply-
ing the outside, the parties in the country
have no interest in or control of their outside
columns. The advertising is usually
“lumped” as it is called. That is, a contract
is made to insert a given advertisement in a
score, a hundred or a thousand different
papers, as the case may be, and thus the
sheet practically becomes a mere advertis-
ing hand-bill. As a large revenue is obtain-
ed from this class of advertisers, these out-
side sheets are either sold for about the price
of the original white paper or else are given
outright to the party who will secure a local
printing of its insole. This means, that the
money and employment which would be
given to issue a paper wholly printed in any
place, is but half and ,really less than half
expended in its publication and it is because
of this, that all over and all about the
country, so many little feeble newspaper
bantlings are published, that never could
exist, if it were required they should be
wholly printed in the place. It is needleso
to state to any intelligent reader, that no
really substantial or firsticlass paper, is ever
so conducted. They take advertising cheap,
but with few exceptions their rates w0uld be
dear at any price, as those having had largest
experience with them 3 most vehemently
assert. The experience of all who have
made advertising a business or a study, will
affirm, that there is no medium equal to that
of a Well established and reputable news-
paper.
We are confident the Gamma has a larger
bond-fills subscription list than all the papers
of whatever sort combined, published in the
town and it is no spirit of boosting or vain;
glory, but with the livelie titude that
we can always point to our ‘ _“rtising col-
umns for evidence that our patrons fully
recognize and appreciate these simple facts.

Finn—on Monday night, or last week,the
bells in both Borough and City sounded .an
alarm. The fire proved to bethebarn on the
premises of Justice E. W. Stuart, West Ave-.2
nue, near the line between city and borough.
Both city and. borough. fire departments ro-
sponded, but the fire _had gained so should
headway the firemen couldde little but pro
tect adjacent property. It is thought the
barn was set on fire in three places. Some
three hundred dollars worth of agricultural
implements, _tools, &c., were burned with
the barn, which was entirely consumed. The
barn was partially insured.
The cause of the fire was undoubtedly in-
cendiary. Why it was set on fire is a ques-
tion yet unsolved. As the judge has tried a
number of liquor cases the present month and
during the past year, and found most of the
parties guilty, there are many who believe
the fire was instigated by some one in the
liquor interest.

The Masonic Excursion.
Our Masonic friends are to be congratulated
Eupon the success of their first steamboat ex.
.cursion. The people having confidence in
the management assembled early on Wednes
day morning, in .large numbers, to participate
in the promised delights. . Before the arrival
'of the Danbury excursion train the boat was
crowded, and when those passengers were
:udded there were rather too many for com-
gfort. On the:start .the boat rolled unplease
klntly, but soon settled‘down to steady work,
and made good time. The sail down the
Sound, under the East River Bridge, down
inc bay and through the Narrows, was quite
delightful. At one o'clock a landing 'was
made at the west end of the Island, and the
passengers trudged across to the Pavilion on
the Ocean side. ' Here, it must be confessed,
there was general disappointment, when it
tvas discovered that the popular resorts were
two or three miles off, and there was no time
to visit them. This, however, was said to be
the only steamboat landing, and there was
nothing to do but to make the best of it. At
all events the beach was the same, and the
ocean, and many indulged in bathing, while
crowds looked on to enjoy all the fun there
was. Some thirty or forty hired wagons and
drove over to the fashionable resorts, but they
got left and came back in the cars.
Probably nine-tenths of the excursionists
carried their own provisions, and it was for-
tunate for them that they did, for the prices
there were exh‘orbitant. In view .of the
prices charged, —fifteeu cents for a glass of
ice water, two straws, and abitter lemon
peel, for instance,—many were amused by
notices posted conspicuously, specially re-
q‘uesting'visitors to see that the waiters did
not overcharge.
'Two hours passed quickly, and M3 o‘clock
the passengers returned to the boat, and soon
after were steaming through the Narrows:
and up the bay passing cast of Governor’s
Island. The sail around Staten Island and
up the charming Kill Von Kull, was reluc-
tantly dispensed with by the managers. after
consultation with the captain, because the
skies were threatening, and the sail would
prolong the trip so much that the arrival
home would be late. As it turned out, the
committee acted wisely. The sail up the
sound was very pleasant, the steamer merely
entering theedge ofvantorm whichmust have
been severe on the New York and Connecti-
cut shore. A few minutes before eight the
vessel ‘reached the wharf at South Norwalk,
and discharged her passengers. The Den-
bln'y,train was in waiting, four two horse
cars rind innumerable carriages so. that pas-
sengers proceeded, to their homes without
delay. (:1.‘ ’
The steamer Schuyler carried on this occa-
sion, about thirteen hundred passengers, but
Often carries several hundred more. Fred
Mead; was the caterer, and seems tohave
given entire satisfaction. The demand was
large but his supplies held out, and the quan-
tity of ice cream sold was enormous.
The music by the Wheeler & Wilson
Band, was, 'of course, greatly admired.
:Dancing was indulged in to 'a limited extent.
" The committee of arrangements exerted
themselves to please, and ' did all in their
power to make the excursion pleasant. They
have every reason to believe that their efiorts
were successful, and that the passengers very
generally enjoyed the excursion. We are
glad to learn that the Lodge will realize
about $225 net profit. With the experience
gained this time, the Lodge will be able to
give a still better excursion next year, and
perhaps on the “Columbia” or“Greut Re-
public" direct to some popular resort.

Letters _from the People.
Eorroxs Gaznm:—I was very glad to
see in your last 1, issue, that complaint was
made of the immorality and rowdyism ram-
pant on West Ave, and it is certainly due to.
the community that prompt measures of re-
pression and eradication be taken. On the
upper part of Main St., from the head of
Pudding Lane to - nearly the Bridge, the
citizens suffer substantially“ the. same evils“:
the making of evening and night hideous by
boisterous singing, shouting, yelling, cursing
and fast driving. Is there really no remedy?
Must such a state of things continue without
redress ?_ Let the authorities set the policemen
at work, and if necessary, let special con-
stables bc appointed to patrol these streets,
and see that order is preserved. A few
heavy fines and costs would be a very proper
dose for the rank disease with which rowdies
in Norwalk are affected. No taxpayer would
regret the cost of putting down this vile and
intolerable nuisance of rowdyism.

Nor-walk Cemeteries.
If the civilization and culture of a commu-
nity be estimated by the reverence paid to
their dead, as evinced by the care taken of
their cemeteries (sleeping places) then a just
judgment passed upon the citizens of Nor-
walk must be nary severe; for our burial-
grounds are in a shameful condition.
Speaking only of the Union Cemetery and
that on Town House Hill, while some private
lots in the fermer are always kept well,
others, as also the avenues and alleys, are
overgrown with weeds, specially wild carrot
and parsnip, to say nothing of parts deform-
ed by cobble-stones and gravel and this is
true of all the ground on Town House Hill
except where an opening has been made by
private enterprise on the north western
corner. .
These noxious weeds are now in blossom ;
and unless speedily cut down or—bctter still
—eradicated, will soon be propagating them-
selves even more thickly (if possible) and
disseminating their pestifcrous seed, for and
wide, upon private grounds and fields as
well as beside streets and roads. There is
pressing need of prompt action. .
When we bury our dead we hoard their
dust, as being more precious than gold, in
costly caskets, and bedeck them with flowers
in profusion; which afterward, for time and
seasons, we scatter upon their graves, over
which also we erect monuments, more or less
expensive. But is it not a sad and shameful
suggestion of short-lived affections and
memories, if we permit offensive weeds to
take the place of the flowers, and the green
turf to be poisoned or covered under their
growth, and monuments to be defaced or
obscured? Let us revive the memories of
our loved ones, and cherish their resting
places.
P. S.—Since the above was written another
walk to Union Cemetery discloses the pleas-
ant fact of a beginning in the work of de-
strOying weeds in the avenues and lots.
Also on Town House Hill the same work has
been completed and trees have been trimmed
—all by the same public spirit and liberality
which, two or three years ago, erected and
painted the new picket fence on the same
premises.
Adams’ Express Company.
Considerable gossip has been indulged in
over the loss of'a package containing $4,600
received from Cashier Curtis, of the Central
National Bank, on the last day of July, by
Mr. Batterson, the driver of the Adams' Ex-
press wagon. ‘Batterson receipted for the
money, and to the best of his recollection,
states that he placed it under the cushion of
his seat and on his arrival at South N orwalk
handed it to Mr. George E. Smith, the agent,
just as he had done times without number be-
fore. Mr. Smith has no recollection of ever
having seen the package, and, as he has no
record of it, is equally sure it never came into
his hands. The money was for Controller
Knox, of the U. S. Treasury, and not getting
any acknowledgement of its receipt, Cashier
Curtis sent a letter 'of inquiry to Washing-
ton, and then learned that no such package
had ever been received. The company at
once set about making a most thorough in-
vestigation, and Mr. Batterson was suspend-
cd from duty, although his personal honesty
was not questioned. The theory is that the
money was stolen from'his wagon, and this
suspicion, of course, entirely exhonerates Mr.
Smith from blame. Mr. S. has acted as
agent for the company here for a quarter of
a century and no breath of suspicion of evil
ever has or ever can justly attach to his name.
The personal integlity of George E. Smith is
beyond the possibility of impeachment!
The Express Company, with their usual
promptness, have refunded the money to the
Bank.

Worms.
The trecs of our orchards, fields and for-
cstslarc largely covered with the web-cater-
pillars this year. If farmers and others would
save their trees and fruit from a still worse
infliction in future years, they should make
a vigorous onslaught on these pestilcnt craw-
lers. A newspaper twisted up and tied to
the end of a pole, and lighted with a match,
is a very good way of burning up the worms.
This should be done latent evening or very
early in the morning, while the worms are
housed in their webs. On lower limbs they
may be cut off and destroyed without, gener-
ally,seriously marring the tree. At all events
these worms should be destroyed everywhere
and by everybody as far as .it is possible.

The N cw English Nautical Ballad
“ Nancy Lee.”
The Second Life Guards marched past my
window yesterday in full uniform, to the
.splendid breezy, catching melody of "Nancy
Lee.” I expect tune and song have'reacbed
you by this time. It has been the rage here
for months. The composer is a vocalist
named Maybrick. He took the song to the
Chappells, music publishers. They claim to
be authorities on all questions of musical
publications. Maybrick sung the song to
them. He wanted $100 at the time. “Give
me a five-pound note for it,” he said, “and
have done with it.” No, they preferred to
pay hlm a royalty; they did not think the
song‘would soil. It is the best nautical bal-
lad that has been published for years. Chap-
pells have up to the present writing, paid
Maybrick $7,500 in royalties for “Nancy
Lee." Theatrical managers and publishers,
as a rule, "are fools. There are “sweet little
cherubs sitting up aloft,” in the-shape of
struggling artists who now and then force
new works upon them; otherwise they
would die in work-houses, instead of living
luxurious lives and dying with “heirs, execu-
tors and assigns” in charge of handsome
properties.—7London Letter. ' ' ~-

The Superior Court Session. _ -
~ The caseof E. AT'Woodwal-d against J.
W. Hubbell, admmistrator' ' of Isaac Church,
deceased, Nellie A-Chnreh and Isaac Church,
Jr., wee closed on Thursday, last week, be-
fore Judge Culver of the Superior Court, in
Court of Common PleasRoom. "
The suit virtually tried the title to u mort-
gage‘for fourteen thousand dollars given on
the 10th. day of August, 1870, a year before
the discovery of the great“ring”frauds in
which the .petitioner—Woodward—actcd so
conspicuous a part, and undoubtedl the mo-
ney so lent came from the city of ew York.
(It struck us while counsel .were busy over
the argument that the city of New York
ought to have inter-pleaded, and_claimed that
the money if due to Woodward belonged to
the only.) No interest had been paid on the
mort e since the note was first given, 00“-
sequent y the amount due, if anything was
due, reached the good round figure of twenty
one thousand eight hundred and fifty dollars; 4
sothat the lawyers had something to talk
about. The evidence was all heard at the
last term of the Superior Court, and by
agreement of the Counsel at the suggestion
of Judge Culver—who did not have time to
finish the case-before the close of the term-—
the argument was postponed to the 10th inst.
The case occupied fourteen days in the trial,
hearing evidence singly ; and of course there
were long arguments by Messrs. Child &
Fessenden for the respondents, and Messrs.
Perry & Woodward for the petitioner. The
defence claimed that they had proved that
the mortgage in question was in fact porches.
ed from Gen. Wm. Randell Smith—the at-
torney and agent of E. A. Woodward-and
J. P. Beatty his attorney; and that the trans-
action was subsequently confirmed by,Mr.
Woodward in New Liverpool, Canada, while
on his way to parts unknown in the spring of
1872, and that the mortgage was afterwards
transferred by Woodward's tronsferree,‘ to
the respondent, Isaac Church, Jr. The peti-
tioner claimed it was wholly a conditional
bargain which the purchaser not having ful-
filled on his part was incomplete, and that
the mortgage still belonged to the petitioner.
Amidst the mass of evi ence counsel argued
all day long from 10 o‘clock in the morning
until 5 o’clock in the afternoon—Mr. Perry
leading off followed by Messrs. Fessenden,
Child and Woodward. The decision was re-
served. .
. Each of the legal gentlemen in charge of,
the case added to his already acquired repu-
tation by the professional skill shown on the
occasion—Stamford Herald.
P. S.—A decisionin this important case
Wis rendered on Monday in favor of ‘ Mr.
Woodward. We are informed that the. testi-
mony given by Gen. W. R. Smith, which had
been strongly-disputed and pronounced false,
was found to be entirely true and correct.
