A variety of views was expressed at the
vestry meeting of Christ church last week as
to the propriety of repairing the old, or
building a new edlficc. ‘It appeared that,
while two or three gentlemen of the parish,
each able, unassisted, to pay the . entire ex-
pense of any proposed alterations, were in
favor of erecting a new place of worship, the
rank and file of the parish 'were opposed to
such a scheme. The church ladies who have
a considerale sum of money saved, the credit
of getting which belongs to them, and in no
wiseto the gentlemen, are of this latter class,
and—they are resolved, reasonably, to have
their own way in the matter. It is likely,
therefore, that at no distant day, a marked
improvement without and within the old
church will manifest itself. The church site
is so elevated that in winter the bleakest of
north winds rake unmercifully across it, and
this fact is urged as a good reason for chang-
ing the locality. 0n the contrary, the.
church’s high position secures the coolest and
freshest breezes at all times, in summer, in
and while worshippers in the village churches
far below are sweltering by reasons of heat,
the devotions of those in attendance at this
church may be performed with measures of
a good deal of comfort and satisfaction. It
is proposed by the ladies to expend a moder.
ate sum of their own money in beautifying
the church surroundings which are character-
ized by rock, crags, trees and some earth,
and when walks shall have been laid
out, shrubbery planted, and the swards
trimmed and kept so, they flatter themselves
that their church and all belonging to it will
compare favorably for beauty with any in the
county.
Mr. Webster. of South Sandsfield, Mass,
who has been canvassing here for a bird‘s-
eye view of Westport with first-rate success,
-will be here again- in November with the
completed picture. While the work is open
to a little criticism as to objects askew and
buildings and streets drawn out of propor-
tion, its main features are very like Westport,
and the beholder not only admires, but won-
ders how a work requiring so much labor and
detail could have been executed in so short a
space of time, and offered at the small sum
$3 per copy. Years hence the picture will be
valuable as showing how this town once look-
ed, and everybody should have a copy.‘

éThe Norwalk Gazette says that “if Mr.-
Warner is thrown overboard some other
Norwallc democrat should be elected to
succeed,” and further, ‘-‘it will not be Wise
hit the democracy to ignore the sentiment.”
Norwalk is a wonderfully prolificplace for
candidates. You can buy ’em for_ three
cents a yard, cut off in lengths to suit, and
of any desired (political) color. And Nor—
walk is no way backward in coming forward
with her wares and merchandize. Its a way
she has. One would think that in the mat—
ter of democratic congressman, she could
afford to retire on her laurels for awhile. A
place of ordinary ambition, after such a su—
preme' effort, would be content to take a
rest. But ‘Norwalk- politicians—especially-
.democratie politicians—are .not so easily dis—
couraged when there are any offices in ques—
tion. Their motto seems to be
"No pent up Utica contracts our power,
We take what-Ito can grab and call it ours.’i "
—Stamford Advocate.
Our friends of- the Advocate must not be
captions because Stamford has three possi-
ble candidates for Din-Warner’s place. flu
the other hand the old GAzETTE has always
found pleasure in advocating Stamford men
as candidates and we have never found cause
to' regret it for she always furnishes good
timber. The GAZETTE as a whig paper
“ went for 8. Governor once for Stamford
who was nominated by its party, he was
elected and made a royal good one too. It.
' later, did what it could, to roll up a thump-
ing majority for a State Senator and was
first to name and urge OLIvEIr HoxT for the
same position. We claim no credit for all
this, for we don’t know where we could
have found better candidates. But don't
scold, because the poor, limping, halting,
Norwalk democracy have had bad luck.
Give ’em another chance and they must do
better—cause they couldn’t do worse.

and came to this country in May, 1864. He
lived in New York for a short time, and then
came to Norwalk. About eleven years since

Main street, and apparently prospered from

Interest in politics is being awakened, and
the eneral query is, who’s going to Con:
gress —:Senlinel.
Why Mr. Warner, of course, till the 4th
of March next. Moreover he is by every
rule of right, usage and custom of his party,
entitled to be its candidate for a renomina-
tion. He promised a friend, just before
leaving Washington, that if any opposition
were made by interested parties to his renom.
ination, he should “go in and win," it, in
spite thereof. We hope he will do so as is
clearly his right to do. Mr. Barnum of
Litclijield County, Was renominated for the
Fortieth, Forty-first, Forty-second, Forty-
third and Forty-fourth Congresses, or for a
period of ten years, and the democracy of
Fairfield County cheerfully assented to it.-
The democrats of this Congressional District
have no right we insist, to publicly humiliate
their present Congressman, by refusing him
a renomination after this his only one full
term.

A Step Toward Resumption—Sil-

WASHINGTON, September 8.—-Secretary
Sherman, late yesterday afternoon, issued
the following order to Treasurer Gilfillrn, di-
recting him to exchange standard silver for
United States notes:
Tasasnnx DEPARTMENT, September 7,1878.
Hon. James Gilfillan, Treasurer of the United
States: ‘
On and after the 16th day of this month
you are authorized, at the Treasury in Wash.
ton, and at the several sub-treasuries in the
,United States, to exchange standard silver
dol'ars for United States notes.
Very respectfully,
J OHN SHERMAN, Secretary.
Secretary Sherman says he has issued the
order after mature deliberation, and purpose-
ly fixed the 16th instant as the day on which
to give it effect, in order that the country
may have due and timely notice of its import.
It was another step toward the resumption of
specie payments. “Under this order," says
the secretary,"the pcoplec an exchan e United
States notes for standard silver do ms, and
With the latter they can pay custom duties c-r
buy the four per cent. bonds. I anticipate
a further decline in the gold premium. It is
only at one-quarter of one per cent. to-day,
and there in no reason why tint premium
should not he rubbed out.”
This is very important action on the part
of the Treasury, as it is virtual resumption.
Now let some arrangement be entered into as
to the status of the Trade Dollars. They
hear the stamp of the U. S. Government and
are designated at the U. S. Mints as Dollars
and are intrinsically worth much more than
the legalized dollar. It would seem there-
fore that Secrctary Sherman might do some-
thing in the public interests to obviate the
present difficulties involved in their circular.

still more greatly inconvenienced and the in-
