wThe Boll. Frederick Miles.

Mr. MILES, our candidate for Congress, is
one of the large hearted and large brained,
self-made men. who in spite of early disad-
vantages has risen to distinction by dint of
his own energy and inherent integrity. Hrs
life has been spent in active business pursuits
and in developing the mineral wealth and
resources , of Litchfield County. As 'a
thorough gentleman, in the best sense of-that
word, and in social. graces, he is the peer of
the best. Ills high character and reputation
for liberality 'and enterprise is such in the
vicinity where he lives, that no other cItlzen
equals him in personal popularity. He has
never sought office, and indeed resolutely
declined it, until last year, when so earnestly
urged to run for State Senator he accepted
and was triumphantly elected, although his
district is one of the strongest against us In
the State. He ran ahead of his party ticket
nearly a thousand votes. He was made our,
candidate for Congress, against his Wish, by
unanimous acclaim, not' even delaying to
take an informalr ballot. He accepts the
compliment with all its responsibilities. He
stands squarely upon the honest money plat-
form of the State Republican Convention.
He is an upright, frank and outspoken man,
in whosc'heart there is no deceit or manner
of guile, and in whom, on all moral questions, .
there is _“no shadow of variableness.” If
elected, as all the indications show_that he
will, be, he will act in hearty accord with§thosc
who wish equal and exact justice done all
men alike, and who desire one currency
only for all classes of our people. He will
stand for the nation's honor as expressed to
its “promise to pay,” because he believes /
them as sacred as the very graves of her
patriot dead. He will do a‘l in his power
for improving the business interest of the
country, to the end that labor may be more
in demand and receive more remuneratlve
rewards. His own personal interests prompt
to this, as well as the natural ou‘tgoiogs of
his generous nature. He will exert himself
in securing just and sensible appropriations
for completing the river and harbor improve-
ments now in progress in our district, and
which have bccnldragging along for years
because of lack of earnest championship.
His election, which the best informed dcmo
crats seem to reluctantly concede, will be an
honor tr the District, State and Nation, and
no man will ever have occasion to regret that
he cast'his‘wotc for How. FREDERICK MILES,
of Sidisbury. '

.station saw “Norwalk Bridge" thereon and
so went on, supposing the next station would
be Norwalk, when he brought up, of course,
at Winnipauk. He had to walk back and
ruminate over the folly of having the word
“Bridge” on our stationvgnd why, Mr. San—
difortll, would it not be wise to have this

One of those distressing events which
have, alas, been too frequently chronicled
in many parts of the country, has just as-
tlundcd Hartford. Thomas Belknap, one of

 

its old and chiefest citizens, a former Bank '

President, Treasurer of this Episcopal Dio-
CCse Iand of the Bishop's Fund, confessed
himself a defaulter'to the amount of $11,-
600 as Treasurer of the Hartford High
School. Friends made good his deficiency

and he was then released from arrest.

\Vc have infOrmation that a conspiracy is
being concocted to injure the popularity of
Mr. Miles, among the laboring classes, by
putting out a story that he is a hard and

illiberal employer; &c. Such a falsehood

 

 

will help his vote where he is best known, .

and needs to be exposed only to furnish its
own refutation. ‘ '

Mr. Evarts is expected to speak in New
York this week. A Washington special
says he will treat of “the philosophy of
the political changes new solving them-
selves,” and will set forth the purposes of
the administration in shaping-the destiny
of the republican party, which may be
summed up under three heads:—-"To na-
tionalize the republican party; to resume
specie payments, and'to elevate the public
service.” Mr. Evarts expresses the opinion
that the republican party instead of being
like “an army whose terms of enlistment
has expired,” is like a “veteran army re-en-
listed for a new term,” which will carry
victory everywhere on its banners. ,

Samuel French was arrested last Friday
and brought before J ustice' Stuart upon the
complaint of a Grand J urcr charging him with
an assault of such nature as to lead his
counsel, Mr. Barbour, at the moment to con-
clude that the Offence could only be tried in
the Superior Court, and who therefore ad-
vised him to demur and appeal without a
hearing in the Justice Court. The State
asked that bail he demanded in the sum Of
one thousand dollars, which the court deemed
excessive, and after some discussion it was
fixed at five hundred dollars which it was
supposed could readily be furnished. French
failed to obtain bail, and went to jail to'
await his trial. We, understand that facts
have since come to the knowledge of the
Court which have led the Justice to take
steps to procure the immediate releaseof the

accused.

, Those Cipher Dispatches.

The “sensation" of the time is the mar-
velous presentation by the Tribune of a ser-
ies of cipher telegrams passing to and from
the residence of Mr. Tilden and his agents
in Florida and SoutlI'Carolina', clearly show—
ing an cflOrt to purchase the electoral'vmcs
of those states. The dispatches, or the keys
to their truthful translations, do not seem
to he impeached, but Mr. ’l‘ilden and Mr.
Marble are both out in cards denying-their
knowledge of them. This is hard for even
their party friends to believe. It staggers
ilitclligent credulity, that such vast sums of_
money could have been not only promised,
but actually raised and put in hand, for
consummation of their bargains, without a
man of Mr. Tilden’s known sagacity in finan—
cial affairs, being fully aware of what wés
being carried on in his own house, and by
his most intimate political and personal
friends. And yetit is fair to weigh' the
denial of Mr. 't‘ilden in the light of his
past clIaractCr for frankness and truth. Has
his life and his personal characteristics
been such as to inspire a belief of his in—
noccnce? Never could a past life Of probity
and high integrity, better servc’a public
man. Has Mr. Tilden these sure founda—
tions to stand upon ? We think the candid
verdict of his own party friends will be
against him, and with this terrible exposure
01' at least criminally corrupt intent, will
end" Mr. Tildcn’s career as a Presidential
candidate, and end as well, the senseless cry
Of.“,fraud,” “fraud," which has been-howled
at the present administration, since the day ,
of its inauguration.

We give below a few of the sample spec-
imens of the South Carolina telegrams and
their translations. The negotiations being
for the purchase of the electoral vote of
that state, and the first we copy in order
is a translated answer to dispatches sent Mr.

The Great. Difference.

We most heartily concede that Mr. Brug—
gerhof, the democratic nominee for Congress
in this District, is a superbly courteous and
honorable gentleman, and that his errors in
politics are of the head and not of the heart;
in fine, that his nature was never designed
for the degradations of modern democracy.
How could it be otherwise with‘a man, until
. so recently an earnest Republican.
all his gentiemanly instincts he is neverthe-
less harnessed in the democratic mule team,
and hang back and chafc in the breaching as
he may, he will of necessity be dragged along
with the worst elements of his party. Even
now, as a' candidate, we can imagine him in
the ludicrous plight of the late Mr. Greeley’s
military company marching up Broadway,
'who found it utterly impossible to keep step
to the music at the same time dodge the
omnibusscs.

Mr Mass, on the other hand, is openly and
fearlessly committed to honest money and
patriotic administration, and all his surround-
:ings are of a kind to fortify him in his high
resolves. 'In courteous demeanor, genial so-
cial qualities and local popularity, he is in
no degree excelled by his political rival.

Presidents, John‘Jerman, Thomas II. Fin—

they mean to win this election.

A True Son of Connecticut. '
The civic wealth of a State is in her good
and useful citizens. Last week we met that
venerable patriot Ex-U. S. Senator Truman
Smith, and from him we received the hearth.
cst endorsement of our candidate for Con—
gress. “I have known MlLEs all his life,”
said ‘the aged statesman, “and a noble and
true man he is. No better selection eduld
have been made." ‘ né was born in Goshcn,
in Litchfleld county,,in 1815. Attended the

district school and then the adademy, and

when in his 17th year he was apprenticed 'to
the dry goods business in New Haven at a
salary of $30 dollars per year and board.
Some two years subsequently he returned to
his native town and entered a store, where
he served as clerk until 1888,when he'entered
into partnership with his father. The worthy
father and son did a fair business till 1838
when they sold out, and our worthy nominee
moved to Salisbury and worked a farm till
1861, when he entered largely into the iron
b Isincss, which he has successfully continued
ever since. He has always been held in the
highest esteem by'his neighbors and business
associates. During Gen- Taylor’s adminis-
tration, upon the solicitation of. our then
Senator, Mr. Truman Smith, he was made
postmaster for the accommodation of the
people of West Goshcn, and conducted that
office in his and his father's store. With this
exception he has always refused oflicc until

elected State Senator last November in that

overwhelmingly democratic 17th District.

It is told of him that on his return home
from New Haven he rendered his father a
faithful account of all his expenses for 'clotb.
ing, &c., while away, the total amount being

less than $65. This incident‘not only shows

how 'ftimes have changed," but gives that
key to. his prudent and correct habits which
laid the foundations of his subsequent suc-
cess. It moreover furnishes a powerful ex-
ample and incentive for the poor boys ofzthe
present day, who may with equal energy,
economy and correct principles, work their
way u}? as he did, to competency and enviable
position. No fairer example than the career
of FREDERICK MILES can be held up to the
emulation of our Connecticut boys of to-day.

BURoI.ARv.—Tlle house 'on‘ Beatty street,
owned by Mrs. Catahrine Baird, and occu—
pied by herself and the family of Henry 0.
Bundle, was forcibly entered by thieves early
last Thursday evening, during the brief
absence of both families." 'As Mrs. Bundle
left the house with her daughter a man
stood near the front gate, and as she passed
on to West Avenue insulting remarks were
made by three young fellows standing near
the house. During her absence Mrs. Baird
returned and was surprised to sea lights
moving about in unoccupied rooms. She
tried the door but could not get in, and rang
the bell to which no one responded. She
soon found that something was wrong, and
called upon the neighbors for help. Upon
gaining entrance it was fOuhd that the thieves
had ransacked the house and piled articles
together to carry off which they were com-
pelled to leave when disturbed. The
thieves forced a jimmy under the win-
dow sash, and by prying broke the
top fastener which they had previously
failed to open with a thin steel knife.
They made off with a new silk-dress which
Mrs. Randle had just completed that even-
in, a silk dress of Mrs. Beard’s, table clOths,
&c., in‘ all valued at overSIOO. These
little events are becoming unpleasantly fre-
quent in,'Norwalk,.and our authorities should
put on additional watchmen, if necessary,
to prevent their recurrence.

This gentleman yesterday put in nominar
tion for State Senator again for the 12th Dis~
trict,.is well add favorably knownito all "our
people. He has served the State for the two
years past as our Senator and although great -
ly preferring to’rctlre‘, such was the unanim-
ity of his friends in the District that the
Convention had only to ratify its Choice.
He is a superb type of the christian gentle

man. Benevolent without ostentation, and
devout without cant. .Iiis election will be
an honor to the District and State, and to
every man privileged to cast his vote for so
pure and capable a candidate.

Hon. Am. B. Woodward.

- The above gentleman has been most justly
and wisely‘re-nominatcd for Judge of Probate.
He has filled the responsible position with
great carefulness and to the people's entire
satisfaction. This is one of the offices which
should never be made a.purely partisan one.
It has not been so made in years past. Re-
publicans have united with democrats in
keeping the best man ' for the place, and we

know that manydemoerats will now follow
Republicans in‘ keeping the best man, in.

The otlice has to do with the most responsi-
ble, delicate and sacred trusts. The great-
est interests of the dead, the widow and or«
phan are committed to its care. It should
be in the keeping of a man of good judg—

ment, sound wisdom and highest integrity.
All these qualities Mr. Woodward will be
conceded to possess. We hope and trust he
will be elected by the unanimous vote of the
District. This place, of all others, should be
put high above uleolitical scrambling for an

office and a place. .

. There is no class of people on, the'jacc Of
the earth so- ready to extend a cordial wel—
come to artistic merit as the Americans.
That is why all the noted players and singers
sooner or later visit our shores. . All are wel-
cOmed cordially, but now and then, one with
more of that artistic magnetism which elec~
trifies an audience appears, and then follows
an ovation. The instrument seemingly most
difficult to master is .the violin, and the
players who have obtained notoriety on that
instrument can be cOuuted on the fingers of
man’s hands. Of women several have at—
tained mediocrity, while only one has become
famous, that one is the subject of this article
She and she alone has won for herself a name
that may be enrolled by the side of Paganina,
Wienowski and Wilhelmj. The simple
announcement that this talented lady, sup—
ported by a first class Conncert company is
to appear in this town, should suffice to
crowd the House, and we trust the people of
Norwalk will not let the opportunity pass
without taking advantage of it. The Con-
cegt will take place Tuesday evening, Oct.
29th. Let us hope all our readers will be
there to hear it. Sale of tickets will com-
mence on Friday at Weed’s jewelry store.

A Valuable Invention.

Some few years since the legislature of the
State of New York, passed an act authoriz-
ing the payment of one hundred thousand
dollars for an invention which would move
canal boats by steam, without injuring the
canals, and which could be used at an ex-
pense not exceeding the cost of horse power.
A large number Of men attempted to: receive
the great prize, but no one was successful,
there being some radical defects. in every in~
vention ' that was submitted to the State.

Mr. Emmet Austin of Norwalk, has de-
voted a great deal of time and attention to
the subject, but did not get his ideas per-
fected in time to contest with the others. In
the fall of 1875, however, be secured a patent.
for an f‘improvement in Chain Propellers,"
which good judges declared to be the pre-
cise invention, which has so long been need-
ed 'for canal boats. Mr. Austin’s wheel
makes no wake and consequently can cause
no damage to the canals. ‘

The coat of running canal boats by horses -
is twenty-five cents a mile. Mr. Austin
estimates that to draw them by his invention
at a rate of speed 'equal to that of horse
power, including the expense of an engineer,
would be at the outside, not to exceed fif-
teen cents a mile. Another great advantage
which this invention has over horse power,
-is that a canal boat can be taken at the same
rate Of expense 2th rough rivers and sounds, as
well as through the cabal. The invention
has not as yet been utilized, but Mr. Austin
and a number of gentlemen interested in
canal navigation are now perfecting arrange-
ments which will§bring it prominently be-
fore the public, and. it is believed, meet a
want which has long been felt but never me

until now. ‘ -

Gov. Hubbard said the better we educated
our children the more Franklins we would
have and the fewer Kearneys. .
Many of our teachers attended the annual
