October Elections.
The State elections held in Ohio,
Indiana, Iowa and West Virginia, last week,
though not all a republican'might wish, have
resulted more encouragingly than was feared.
By far the most satisfactory result is. the
evidence given that the Greenback craze is
’ fast dying out at the West. The issue of
national honor and good faith is one that
rises far above mere partisan questions of dif-
ference, and every honest man should rejoice
to see it on the wane.

. A Good Day’s Work.
Our friends at the Congressional Conven-
tion at Bridgeport, last Wednesday, did a
royally good day’s work for the Republican
cause, and the 4th Congressional District.
The nomination of Hon. FRED. Mass, of
Salisbury, by acclamation, was but an echo of '
the undivided wishes of the Republicans of
the District and State. He is largely en-
gaged in the Litchfield Iron interests; is a
man of generous enterprise, and conspicu-
ously able in general business affairs. He is
a man of large heart and brain, and not only
for honest ‘money himself, but will, if elected,
. ct with those, who without dissembling, are
for maintaining unsullicd both personal and.
national honor. With~ proper organization
and effort he can be elected, and the resolute
determination of the Republicans of the Dis-
trict is that he shall be.
#
The Verdict.
The three Juries of Inquest have de-
livcred their verdicts, which appear else-
where. From the testimony it is difficult to
see how they could have been different,
severe as they are upon owner, engineer
and inspector. Greater safety and care of
life and limb are the special needs of the
times, and any effort or admonition that shall
make safety a greater desideratum than
money making, among all carriers of passen-
gers, will receive the verdict of universal
public approval.

Eurasian—Our best social circles were
very delightfully surprised and titillatcd at
the marriage, last week, at St. Paul's church,
of“ Robert S. Craufurd, (assistant cashier of
the Bank of Norwalk, and son of general‘ R.
13. Craniurd) to Miss Lawrence, o.Westport.
Mr. Craufurd is a young gentleman of ex-
ceptionally finc promise ; a universal favorite;
possessing the highest qualities of head and
heart, and best beloved where best known.
' He, with his fair young bride, will be the re-
cipicnts of congratulations most abundant and
hearty f mm. the worthiest people of Norwalk.

Sec. Schurz’s Great Speech.
The New Haven Palladium urges that our
Republican State Committee circulate Secre-
tary Schurz’s recent plea for honest money,
as our chief campaign document in the pend-
ing canvass. We heartily second the motion.
Nothing yet enunciated, more clearly, suc-
cinctly, convincingly, or crisply puts the
whole case. before the people.

Chauncey Drummond. a former clerk
here of ye old merchant prince, C. J. Gru-

from New Orleans. He .has residedthere
for about two years now as local manager
of Mr. Frederick Beldcn’s élarge business,
and was among those stricken with Yel-
low Fever this summer. Happily he re-
covered and now considers himself fully
acclimated. He returns to his post again
soon. He gives a sorry picture of affairs
there since the fever broke out. A general
exodus of the people took place and all
business, as a Consequence, was stricken
down flat, and will :not probably, recover
until frostreaches there.

Postal Conference.
A meeting was held in New York last
week, lasting two days, at which Were
present, representative business men and
publishers, from all parts of the country.
The 7discussion of postal reform or improv-
n'ient, finally crystalized itself’ into ahearty
approval of what is popularly known as
“Bissell‘s, Postal Bill." This was an im-
portant and highly complimentary triumph
' for our fellow-townsman and as it already
has the approval of the Department and has
passed both the House and Senate Postal
Committee of Congress, it will-now be very
likely to become a law, in view of this new
and influential endorsement by leading busi-
ness men of the nation. As it simplifies
and cheapens‘ the second and third class
rates of postage. on printing matter, it_is
of special moment to the common public as
well.

' Organize! Organize 2!
All that is needed in this and the adjoining
towns, is for our Republican friends to per-
.feet a thorough organization. This means
work, work, from now till the day of election.
Let the Town and School District Clubs at
one be formed and a thorough canvass be
made of all the voters, and in this way and
this way only, can the Republicans of Con-
necticut achieve a victory that will win the
plaudits of thc'hones't and patriotic every-
where. We have not had so good a chance
to wrest this Congressional District as now ;
it can and will be accomplished if the needed
organization and work be done.

Election of Colonel. a
The field and line officers of the Fourth
Regiment, 0. N. G., assembled at Bridge-
port, Saturday, to elect a successor to the la-
mented Col. Faircbild. As high as .tliirty
votes were cast. The leading candidates
were Lieutenant-Colonel G. S. Crofut of
Bethel, Major Charles E. Duty of Norwalk,
Major Skinner of W insted, and Captain T.
L. Watson of Bridgeport. On the first in-
formal ballot, Major Doty secured one-third
of the votes, leading all others. The first
formal ballot resulted: Doty 13, Skinner S,
Crofut 4, Watsgn 5. On the fourteenth ballot
Crofut was elected, the vote standing, Crofut
15,Dot‘y‘ 12,Watson 2. Maj.Doty although de-
feated, may feel proud of his vote, especially
as Colonel Crofut was in the direct line of
promotion. Major Skinner was unanimous’iy
chosen Lieutenant-Colonel, and Captain Gray
of Stratford, was elected Major.
An examination into the cause of the
Adelphi- disaster commenced yesterday in

President Julius Seclye, formerly of Bethel,
in this County, but now of Amherst, in a
speech at Boston last week, argued “That
that man who cannot see the mischievous
delusion in the fiat-money measure is not
wise enough to be trusted with the adminis-
tration of any Government, and the party or
the man that sees the mischief and still
advoéates. it, is not honest enough to be
trusted. Concerning local issues, particularly
the prohibition liquor question, which be
briefly touched on in closing, he argued With
much force that the one duty of honest citi-
zens is to turn aside from all other issues
and meet the present danger here and now,
face to face. A fiaunting force, be said, of
mingled ignorance and sin is Openly pro-
claiming war against public pledges, but‘is,
really directed against the very existence of
social order. It isaheterogeneous host, led
sometimes by rash and foolish men, and
more often by wily and unscrupulous men,
having as its watchword, indeed, opposition
.to wrongs, but as to its guiding spirit, the
overthrow of rights. He regarded the grow-
iniT strength of such a force the darkest dau-

to Faderland and the reception he met with
there. He, of course, had grown out of the
recollection of old acquaintances and even of
relatives, having left there in his youth.
He' sat and conversed as a stranger with a
sister for half an hour, who felt certain she
would know Joe on sight. She was ever-
joyed to find it was himself, instead of a
friend, to whom she was talking. He
brought mementoes from the old country to
a number of friends here, one of which, a
handsome engraving of the monument
erected to the great reformer—Martin Luther
- —we gratefully acknowledge the reception
of. The monument has a large central
pedestal {surmounted with a statue of
Luther, and this is surrounded with the
statues of his friends and fellow laborers in
the great reform; altogether it makes a very
handsome memorial picture.

Secretary Evarts has a farm in Vermont.
He keeps seven men to work it—One to blast
out the rocks and the other six to haul ’em‘
off on another man’s land—Free Press.
This is a sample of a series. of squibs going
the round of the press, which, while they
may provoke a smile, are nevertheless totally
untrue as to their inferences. We personal-
ly “inspected” this farm of the great Jurist
and Secretary, and no more fertile or pro-
duclive place can be found in the rich valley
of the Connecticut. Mr. Evarts subsequent-
ly assured us that his farm far more than
paid its expenses, and what is better than all,‘
he could raise seventy-five bushels of corn to
the acre by intelligent cultivation, and do it
profitably, while his neighbors, farmin g after
the old methods, continue to raise only about
half as much and but for” their doing their
own work, would grow the lesser crop at a
loss. It is evident Mr. Evarts is not of the
Greeley school of practical farmers. '

As we Expected.
A delegate to the Democratic Congres-
sional convention held at Bridgeport a fort-
night sinco, informs us that there wasa
feeling in the Fairficld County caucus that
gross injustice was being done Mr. Levi
Warner, by not only ignominously driving
him from the field, but in not even giving.
' him a complimentary vote, or mentioning
his name at all. Thcrc were those present,
our informant assures us, who earnestly de-
sired to prevent this humiliating injustice,
but they were overslaughed by a majority
who would notpermit his name or the sub-
ject to be introduced, under the pretence
that it would precipitate the convention into
a row, which would be still more mortifying
to Mr. Warner and his friends. Thus it was '
that Warner was silently kicked out of the
way. The proceedings were however, far
from being harmonious. Our old friend
Dan Davenport, exploded the first magazine
of dynamite, by rising and stating that
Litchfield County had agreed tllatif Fair-
field County would unite upon a man, Litch-
field delegates would confirm the selection.
He said Fairfield Collrad united unanimously
upon a candidate. Here a delegate. from
Litchfield County rose up red in the face and
demanded of the too unanimous Dan, upon
what authority he had committed Litchfield
County to such an endorsement. The flame
spread and a Fail-field County delegate, with
a very red, nose, fire in his eye; and de-
clared, that the statement made by Driven.
port that the Fairfield County delegates had
agreed unanimously upon a candidate, was
false! Davenport midly said that the dele-
gate had stated a moral u ntruth. - Another
delegate said he refused to be bound by the
action of the caucus. He spoke . at some
length and urged the claims of Mr. Taylor.
Mr. Davenport demanded that the record Of
the action of the caucus, be read to settle the ‘
question of veracity. Hercupon Mr. Rear-_
den, of Danbury, jumped tohis feet and de-
manded to be heard, amid the charges of
falsehood and lying which were flying about
the convention like hail-stones. Reardbnk
was shot from the track by precipitating :an r
angry dispute as to his being adelegatc to
the Convention, at all. As the tempest was
rising higher and higher the cunning chair-
man announced that the “previous question"
had been ordered and a vote for proceeding
to a formal ballot for a Congressional candi-
date was taken and lost. Then the courtly.
and diplomatic John Cotton Mather Smith,
the sweet-smelling “Rose of Sharon," in-
dulged in some quieting remarks to the effect
that for tenyears Litcbfield county had fur-
nished the candidate, ‘but that Fairfield
county had nominated Mr. Barnum the last
few terms because he was the strongest can—
didnte. He said the next election. would be
no boy's play anci‘ that if the Republicans
brought forward Mr. Miles, it would take a
good deal to beat him. .Mr. Miles was an
exceptionally strong man, and it would re-
quire the democracy’s best efforts to beat
him. [Cotton for once in his life, knew
what he was talking-about] Dan Daven-
port, still uneasy and continuing the role of
bull in the china shop, again gbt the floor
and while spreading the American Eagle in-
the most extravagant manner and dilating
upon the superior claims of Fairfield county
for the nomination, by reason of its greater
wealth, enterprise, intelligence and popula-
tion, he was again choked off by another
motion for a ballot. Hereupon a delegate
withdrew the name of Hon. Wm. F. Taylor,
of Danbury, and upon being in turn lietch-
eled for so doing, frankly admitted that he
had not been authorized to do so. Then
Gen. Nelson Taylor, of South Norwalk,
presented the name of Frederick W. Brug—
gerhof of Darien, and John Cotton Mather
Smith, stilI'having a fear of MILES, before
his eyes, eloquently and forcibly presented
the claims of George W. Peet, of North
Canaan, as the strOngest man the democracy
could nominate. [Cotton is an old singer,
and he plainly saw the danger of nominating
any Fairfield County man, after the cruel
and unjustifiable slaughter of Warner, and
here his head was again level] After an
informal ballot as follows :—
F. W. BruggerhOf of Daricn, 44
Francis A. Marden of Stamford 13
G. W. Poet of North Canaan, 46
Wm. F. Taylor of Danbury, 22
E. W. Seymour of Litchfield, 8
A Stamford delegate explained that Mr.
Mardcn’s name was withdrawn in the caucus
for the purpose of breaking up the deadlock.
with the understanding that it was to be
presented again, in the convention. This
brought Barbour down from the chair on to
the floor and precipitated him into a speech
in which he with great vehemcnce asserted
a mere nomination of their candidate would
not now be equivalent to an election, as in
beautiful and glowing peroration for Hon.
F. W. Bruggerhof of Harlem, when the con-
vention proceeded to take a' second informal
ballot, but before it was decided 8. Stamford
delegate withdrew the name of Francis A.
Marden. The ballot resulted as.follows:—
F. W. Bruggerhof, 72
George W. Feet, 46
E. W. Seymour, 1
Wm. F. Taylor, 12
I A delegate withdrew the name of Wm.
F. Taylor and moved that Frederick W.
Bruggerhof Of Darlen, be nominated by ‘ac.
elamation. ' '
The motion was unanimously adopted,
when Mr. Bruggerhof came upon the plat-
form and thanked the convention for the
honor conferred upon him,'and said he re-~
mained unpledged, an independent Demo-
crat, declared himself a hard-money man,
«170., &c., " but even his assuring eloquence
was not equal to clearing away the every-
where prevailing atmosphere of sulks, in
which the convention adjourned. The
feeling, particularly of the Litchfield men
was [fairly epitomized in a remark of one
of their delegates, who was overheard to say
on leaving the ball, “well, we’ve been stuck'
again with another d—d Fairfield County
man." . [But Mr. Bruggerhof 2's not
“another,” in the sense in which that epithet
was intended to be used by the disgruntled
delegate from the mountain county. He is
and superior to the present incumbent, and
this makes us regret all the more, to see him
set up by the truculent democracy, for cer-
tain defeat] ' ‘
The real causes. which robbed their con-.
vention of its wonted harmony, asourin-
formant assures us, lle‘ in the facts that Mr.
oMarden, who would have been nominated
two years ago, but for the interference of
Hon. James H. Olmstead, (who is accused
of not wanting the candidate to be taken
from Stamford, and so engineered the nomi-
nation of Warner) had been led to expect the
nomination. That Hon. W. F. Taylor, Of
Danbnry, who had nearly the 11th District
solid for him, and whose horn is all covered
with scars and wrinkles won in bpttling for
the :democracy for nearly half a century,
was not happy in the thought that any new
comer could rise up and rob ,him of the
dearly earned laurels he had hoped to receive
and crown his brow ‘with in his old age.
And much less. could he and his friends
tolerate the idea that ajmauwho had always
been an earnest Republican up to the date of
the Greeley craze, should new step in and
become the bell—weather of the ancient
and honorable democracy! And last and
least, came little Warner with his friend,
smarting under (say 'what you may) ajust
sense of the dishonor put upon him,—
“wounded in the house of his friends.”
Can it be wondered at that dcmoralization
has seized upon the democracy, and that so
many of their best men concede the election

‘Our Cooking Club. -
When the deer ladies—God bless them—
organlzed the “Norwalk Cooking Club,” the
hearts and hopes of many poor benedicts rose
high in their breasts. That is to say. it exci-
ted their appetites and greatly‘vstilnulated the
digestive apparatus. The“moral forces,” as
it were, of the married men whose wives
were to join, concentrated more particularly
in and about the thorax and viscera. It is
true, the great “moral force" of lighter
drafts upon the pocket, which were to result
ill prmnoting greater economy in the culina-
ry art, deluded the imaginations of these
Lords of creation and led them to urge imme-
diate membership. So the club was formed
and its membership filled, nod cookery as a
high art entered into with a zeal that would
water the mouth of every epicure. That
was a year or more ago, in our chronology.
At first it was resolved, for prudential
reasons, and to avert unfavorable criticism
before due experience were acquired, that all
of the male gender should be inexorably ex-
cluded from the stated feasts of baked
meats and rarest delicacies. This was not
as the good husbands had anticipated, for
they had Supposed all this culinary science
was to be put into practice for their special
delcctation. But they bore the ostracism
with heroic fortitude, buoyed with the ex-
pectation of its short duration. Alas, for
the uncertainty of "human expectations!
Hope thus deferred made their hearts sick,
for the summer were away and yet they
were not admitted. No mystic Lodge of
Masons was ever more secure against invasion.
None but the feminine elect could enter and
sit at the table of our'Cooking Club. _ Thus
'the his} winter and summer wore away‘
and the muttering; of discontent, at first
faint and confidentially imparted to the fond
partners of their bosoms, at length grew fierce
and audible, until all was revealed to the un-
tiring Gaza-rm, « reporter. One benediet,
' confidentially interviewed, declared that his
wife took out of his house provisions
enough to feed half of the town’s poor, on
every occasion of one of the stated “ feeds,”
as he called it, of the Cooking Club. Another
said his wife never could sleep after “gorging’!
one of their late dinners, but tossed and tum-
bled and groaned in spirit all the night
through. Another charged his wife with
screaming 'out in her sleep in afright and
vowing that a full tribe of savages were
whooping after her scalp. Still another wo'uld
yell, murder, murder, at the top of her lungs
between her fifth! naps. Still another would
start and spring upright in her sleep and
slw‘b got him away from inc—he's gone he‘s
deserted me I” and then would go off in a
swoon. One was so :ungallant as to accuse
his wife, although with bated breath, with
kicking, clawing and snoring outright, every
night after having attended one of the club’s
late dinners. Last Friday night the club
again met at one of the most delightful
homes on West Avenue. The sound of the
revelry was heard for blocks away, and the
smell of the savory meats, the potted birds,
the boneless and jellied fowl, the escallopcd
oysters, the dainty relishes and toothsome
deserts, perfumed the evening air far around.
But no one of'the sterner sex was allowed
admission. Even the lord of the mansion
had to provide his-deleful evening meal Out—
side his own house. No one. did we say?
We mistake, for little “Matt Bird” crept
stealthily in, and hiding under the table, was
an eye witness to the high feasting and revel~
ry. And now for the on ination. The de-
barred men, ~kayo banded together for reform
and greatercoon‘fiiy, as they ilvow, but more
probably for revenge. Thpy have met and
organized a club, for table’reform. They
have resolvedxlhatiin times like these, every
man can, and of ’a‘ right ought to subsist on
thirteen cents a day, and this is a copy of
their first dinner bill of fare : One oyster on
the half shell for an appetizer. One tomato
in half a gallon of water for soup fortwelve,
One herring each as brain food and supply of
wasted phosphorus, or if preferred, one clam
in a half-gill of'water. Half gill oatmeal
mush and skimmed milk, for main course.
For desert, pne baked apple, no sugar. Half
a silce stale bread or one sdlla cracker. This
it is claimed will sustain life, not clog diges-
tion and ensure the needed reform in table
expenditure. The men are to “get even”
with their wives by not letting them in to
see this masculine cooking, tablesctting or
dish-washing. They say‘thc poor, dear crea-
tures will just die of curiosity to see the men
perform, but we are incredulous. We don't
yet hear of one who could be hired to attend.
Besides the ladies gather up the fragments of
their feasts and distribute among the poor.
We pity the poor who rely upon the frag-
ments left from the masucline table. So we
still adhere in our allegiance, to the Ladies
“Cooking Club,,’ though we may never sit
around their festive board or ever lap their
ices, russes and creams.

Rev. Mr. Hayden, of Madison, has been
re-arrested for the murder of Mary Stannard,
upon a bench warrant issued by J udgc Hitch-

istered a large dose of arsenic as a quick
medicine for her supposed difficulty, that she
was in agony and started for home to tell
her friends, that he then knocked her down
with a stone, and then‘ cut her throat. A
large quantity of arsenic has been found in
her stomach, and as he testified to buying ar-
senic for killing rats, the circumstantial evi-
dence seems strong against him.
