“‘ Dunn Grzs'rrnz—TThe" convening. of Con-
gress turns thcieycs of the nation thitherwol‘tl
with. rather more than usual expectation and,
interest. Party-wise the Republicans are
' more hopeful and cheery, and our opponents
less mogimt and denuncintory than at the
. last" session. Statesmen of both parties evi--
dently have taken in the situation, and think,
and talk, and deport themselves according to
the changed political condition of things.
The Democrats, especially of the House, are
fully conscious that they have the hot end of
the poker, and will be unable to let go. The
Republican Senators have held a caucus. to
consider thefsituation and plan out their pro-
gramme for‘the session. The Washington
Republican gives the following as the
Kev-Nor: or run rehrrrcrr. SITUATION.
The committee appointed to prepare the
important business of the session and arrange
a definite programme or policy to be followed
by the majority in that body was composed
of five members, viz: Senators Blaine, Ed'
munds, Dawes, Howe, and Christiaucy. To
this committee all propositions presented to
the caucus regarding that business were re-
ferred, The committee held several meetings
for the consideration of these propositions
ani decided upon a series of resolutions
which would have been reported to the Senate
last Thursday if the attendance of members
had been full. Upon finding that several
Republican Senators were absent, whereby
the Democrats would be able to amend the
resolutions and practically emascnlate them,
it was decided to postpone their presentation
to that body until' Wednesday of next week,
when iti's supposed the absentees will all be
' in their seats. . ‘ _
‘ The most important of this series of reso-
lutions is one prepared by Senator Edmunds
with his accustomed and well-known careful-
ness and penetrating shrewdncss. It recites
the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments‘to the Constitution, somewhat in
the nature of a preshrble, and then proceeds
to declare that their provisions have been vio-
lated in the South by the disfranchisment. of
colored voters through various means,‘ and
especially through the practical workings of
certain legislative enactments in some of the
States of that section. The further declara-
‘ tion is made .by virtue of this disfranchisment
Congress has the power, and it is its duty in
thepremises, to reduce the . ratio of repre-
sentation from those States in the House of
Representatives and the Electoral College
representation to the number of voters that
have been disfranchised. .
These resolutions will be supplemented by
another providing for the appropriation of
necessary money to. carry them into 'efiect
and to enable the President to execute the
laws in vindication of the integrity of Ameri-
can citizenship the eountry over. Under the
Constitution all appropriations must originate
in the House; but under customary p rbced-
ure the Senate will be able, having previous-
ly discussed the subject, to add to the proper
appropriation bill when it comes. over from
from the House an amendment embracing the
amount required for the purposes above in-
dicated. By this means the proposition for
the necessary appropriation will acquire a
parliamentary status, against which the Dem-
ocratic majority. in the House can struggle as
long as it may pleasethem to do so; and in
the end the question wrllbs settled by a Con-
ference Committee. . ,
Mr. Blaine will probably be selected topre-
sent these resolutions. and will do so in a
. short speech, which will naturally be follow:
ed or answered by the Democratic side, and
then one of the greatest and most important
debates that has occurred in either House of
Congress since the days of Secession will
ensue. With the two houses of Congress at.
variance on the subject it risrdifi‘lcult $2-925?
raignment of the Democrats is .concerned,
for they are now already on the defensive,
having voluntarily and eagerly assumed the
responsibility of apologizing for and shield
ing the crimes of their Southern political as-
sociates. ' '.

The Senate committee appointed to inves-
tigate and report upon the best means for the
prevention of the introduction of yellow
fever and cholera 'into this country held its
first meeting. -

The principal change made in the Senate
standing committees, is the substitution of
Senator Eaton fdr Senator Morgan on the
Patent Committee. This will be good and
most acceptable news. to the inventors of the
country. Senator Morgan is a very able law-
yer, but has little taste or natural adaptabili-
ty for- the technical duties pressing upon
members of the Patent committee, ~
rxronua'rrox ron coxonnss.
Congress was in session four days and dur-
ing that time adopted ten resolutions calling
en the Departments for information, each of
which will require a greater or less amount
of clerical labor to transcribe and prepare for
transmission. In addition to this it is safe to
estimate that one in eight of the members has
personally called for information which will
take weeks of time to collate. The delays
and embarrassments to the public business
caused by withdrawing the already tea few
clerks from their pressrng duties cannot well
be conceived by the public.
‘ ' rm: r-nxsrox omen
ls already two years in arrears because Con.
gres‘s'willnot appropriate sufficient'means to
furnilllths necessary clerical force to get up
and on with the needed work. ’
run ram-r omen
Is in astill more disgraceful sltuation.‘]lvery
inventor on applying for a patent must pre-
pay the government fee Of fifteen dollars.
This and his final fee, if his patent is issued,
is .covsredinto the treasury, so that up to
thri‘dste there has accumulated in the Treas-
cry to the credit of the Patent-office nearly
0
_ fwdmt‘lh'on dollars. 'Yet, to-day, every mes-'
sengcr and many of the best expert examin-
erssndelerkshave hadtobedischarged, be-
cause the last House refused to appropriate
money enough to run the department.
Patents aredclayed and testimony wanted
, for important suits cannotbe furnished be-
cause of the 'laek of needed clerks. This
too. when the money has been so abundantly
' supplied bythe inventors themselves. In a
word, the last House denied to that depart-
menttheuseof its own money to advance
its work. How far from is downright swin-
die on the patentees of the country this dis-
- graceful demagogneism is,'it would be diffi-
‘cult todetsrmtne. '

Secretary Schurz was before the commit-
tee on the transfer of 'the Indian Bureau, for
two hours and a half, Thursday and gave his
views at length on the ._ subject, as already
given briefly in his correspondence with the
War Department and eIseWhere. In the
. course of his testimony he raked up some of
the cases of mismgement under sgmilitary

The secretary of State has sent an earnest
plea for the retention of several assistant Sec-

Mr. Thomas Wallace, of Ansonia,_Conn.,
left for home this evening. He has been
‘ here arranging for'thc introduction of his
electric light into the capitol. He will put in
two machines and light the senate chamber
immediately. It is conceded that the Wal-
lace Brothers manufacture the best electric
machines yet known to the art. Edison
says so and that probably settles it. They
are manufacturing and' shipping them to Eu.

Senator Barnum is detained at home by a
serious attack of pneumonia. A letter re-
Iceivedyesterday by Senator. Eaten from Mr.
Barnum states him to be much better. Scn- _
ator Eaton is‘in more robust health, appar—
ently, than lost session. He is (10miciled at
Gray's Hotel, this winter. Judge Phelps is
at his last winter's quarters. Mr. Landers is
at the Riggs House again. 'Mr. Warner has
not yet put in an appearance in the House,
but is reported to day to be in town some-
where. Col. Wait, is at his old quarters on
.13tb street, and does not seem to be in the
least cast down by his triumphant re-elcctiou
and the general success of his party in our
State. He is anxiously inquired of concern-
ing the senatorial prospects in Connecticut.
The hope is everywhere expressed that Gen.
Hawley will be content to serve out his term
in the House. Even if his election to the
Senate were an assured 'ccrtaiuty, eoas not to
imperil our‘ sure hold on a majority vote in
the possible event of the PreSidential elec—
tion being thrown into the next House. No
one sceius to apprehend that our State will
send here as the successor of Senator Bar-
num any other than a clear-headed, and true

The Farmers’ Convention.
It is hoped that there will be a large
attendance of farmers from Norwalk undo“
the neighboring towns, at the Convention to
be-held_this week at Lockwood’s Hall. The
Convention will open on Wednesday at 10 a.
m., and close on Friday evening. Sessions
will be held morning, afternoon and evening,
and all will be free- The public genenerally
are invited to. attend. We published the
programme in,full in last week’s Gsznr'rn,
to which we refer for full particulars. '

More Business.
Mayor “T. H. Morison contemplates the
removal of his New York manufactory,
back to Norwalk and will also remove
hither and consolidate with his own, the
Newtown Factory. This will necessitate
increasing bisjfactory' to about .donble its
present dimensions and will ultimately in-
crease his working force to sometwohun-
dred more hands. We rejoice at this pros-
pect of business increase in Norwalk and,
with us, that Mr. Morison’s enterprise gives
promise of more work.

The Borough Election.
Last week we gave the result of the Boro’
election so far as counted up to the time of
going to press. The entire Republican ticket
was elected with the exeption of one Bur-
gess, and the Collector. Burgess Belts was
sacrificed because he was too efficient—a
a “straight. Republican” ticket with C. A.
Burt's name ‘on in place of Belts, of which
37 were voted, did the business. A
“Republican Citizens Ticket” containing all
the regular candidates but one, pushed by in-
enty Republicans, defeated the Collector.
Congressman Levi Warner attempted to
make the Washington night express which

Norwalk is generally represented when-
ever there is anything of importance going on
in this little world of ours. The true Nor—

his throne, and think it kindness to his
Majesty.” Capt. C. Fred Belts, of this place,
who won his bars by gallant conduct in the
war, strayed into the city of Halifax the day

mood for buéincss, he joined in the sight-sec-
ing. Being himself an “American prince”-
by right of birth, and a man of fine presence,
the hospitable people invited him to join the '
reception party, which invitation he accepted
and was preserit at all of the formal recep~
tions. He was invited on board of all the

Marquis as he was awomiu. He returned
last week, highly pleased with his visit‘to

Annual Town Meeting. R
The annual Town Meeting for the hearing
of Reports, 370., in to be held next Monday
as willbe seen by the official notice. The
meeting wrll fix the town tax, make appro-
priations for the repair. of highways, arrange
for the care of paupers, regulate salaries of
town officers, etc. We know nothing of the
that-the showing will be as. favorable as in,
manner during the year, and have no doubt
bc'approvcd by all reasonable citizens. And
here let us speak a word, for the Selectmen
themselves. At the lust annual meeting a
spirit prevailed that was not creditable to the
town, and certain action was taken
which 'secmed to 7 many unjust—voting
$600 as the entire amount to be
paid to the Board whether com-
posed of two or three members. This
was thought to be a good joke, by many,
as it was ' not more than a third of the
usual amo'unt. The idea of cutting down an
official’s salary after his election, was certain-
ly unreasonable. The Selectmen could retal-’
into on the plan of “poor pay, poor preach,”
but they wisely decided to perform their
duties to the best of their ability, and trust
to the honesty and general love of fair dealing
on the part of the people, to change the sen-
timent and give them a reasonable rcmunera- '
tion. They have given much time to public
business, have served the town faithfully and
well, and now the town should vote them a
fair and reasonable compensation,—:which
should he as much as the average paid b
other towns as large as Norwalk. ' ' . .

The Next Senator.
We learn that strong efforts are on foot in
Republican circles to elect ex-Gov. Hawley
as United Statet Senator, this winter. While
for personal reasons we might prefer some
other man from a political point of view we
think that the Democracy mi ht be benefit-
ted bv his selection as it won d leave a va—
cancy in Congress to be filled by the people
in the first district, which is now and should
be represented by a Democrat. If ex-Gov.
Hawley should be elected Senator, it would
he the duty of the Democracy at once to
nominate our excellent present Governor
Hubbard for Congress in that district, whose
election would be a foregone conclusion.
Then our Congressional vote .would be tie
between the parties as it would have been
rsnihrtbsal'bfilles‘ Bfi‘iggé‘i‘h'oiii‘zi'bii'r'hii?
trick—Democrat. .
Oh, yes, we see, now, just how it is. But
weopine that General Hawley is not quite
that kind of a Republichu to let his fingers be.
used as indicated, to pull Democratic chest-
nuts out of the fire.

Friendly Greeting Division .S. of T. of
Silver Mine, celebrated their Fourth Anni-
ve'rsary on Thursdayrevenlng, Dec. 5th, with
alarge number of invited guests from Con-
cord of Norwalk, Friendship of New Canaan,
and Wilton of Wilton. The G. W. P.,
Theodore Raymond, of Danbury, was also
present. After the usual business of the
meeting including the initiation of three new,
members, the anniversary exercises were
commenced by Doctor Bronson, of Friend-
ship, iu a few well chosen remarks, followed
by the G. W. P., who gave a brief account
of the Temperance work in Danbury. The
W. P. then stated that the ladies’ of the
Division had something of interest to bring
forward, and proceeded to declare a recess,
when those present were served with re-
freshments in the bountiful manner character-
istic of the ladies’ of Friendly Greeting.
After the good things had been discussed,
the meeting .was again called to order
and the remainder of‘the evening was occu-
pied with short speechcs full of encourage-
ment to all who feel an interest in the Work
of Temperance; some very fine recitations
were given. At the close of the meeting all
present felt that they had attended one of the
best anniversaries cvcr celebrated by this
Division, and that their members have reason
t‘o.bc proud of the .work they have done, and
are still doing, and the whole community
owes them a debt of gratitude. May the
noble work go on and their numbers in-

As Warden Morison has been personally
congratulated by more Irishmen, (who claim
to have worked and voted for him) ‘ than his

the native-born voters went to, as he is cer-

voted for him. As Pat wouldn't lie about so
trivial a thing as his vote, it is evident there

The projectors of WideAwake aim to fur-
nish at a low price a magazine absolutely
pure in its influence, excellent in literary
merit, and beautiful artistically. The De-
cember number closes' a v0 ume, and the
announcements for 1879 are made. _ The
serials will 'be “The Dogbemy Bunch," by
Mary H. Catherwood, a' story of seven
children, profusely illustrated by Mary A.
Lathbury; “Royal. Lowrie’s Last Year at
St. Olave'e," a story of American school-
boy life, by Magnus Merriweather, illus-
trated by Miss Humphrey; “Don Quixote,
Jr.," by John Brownjohn, a funny story
\fno; liitle boys, with comic pictures by
pkins; and “Our American Artists,"
with portraits, studio interiors, and engrav-
ings of paintings, by .S. G. W. Benjamin,
an attempt to popularize art in the family.
There will be shOrt stories, poems, sketches
of traveling, letters from. children, puzzles,
music and the like; the natural history
supplement will be continued; there willbe
funny double page poems, illustrated, land
papers on some novel schools, including the
history of an English cooking school and
the Perkins institution for the blind. The
December number is full of stories and ver-
ses which amuse and also teach valuable
lessons. The last of the papers on the
child-toilers of Boston streets tells us about
the telegraph messenger boys The J uuuary
number will be the holiday one, and it will
contain good Christmas andNew Year’s
stories. Miss Farmau has found, in the
editorial chair, a work for which' she is
peculiarly well fitted. [D. Lothrop &Co. 30

A n:— mnrds album 01-. David Kennedy
Taken from the Rondout 1V. 1n, Daily Freeman:
“While Dr. Kennedy has proved himself an ex-
cellent .hysmran, and discovered the mos: valua-
ble me rcrne ever offered to an afllicted public it
must not be forgotten that he deserved y stands
second to none rn this country as a surgeon.”
For instance we would cite the case of Mr.
Abram Elsworth, of Port Ewen. Ulster 00., N.Y.,
who had suffered more than TWENTY. years from
the pain rncrdcnt to a disease involving the great-
er'portron of the left thigh bouc,and during all
this trmehe had been kept in,blissful ignorance,
by the runny doctors who had treated him, of the
real cause of his suffering. He often expressed
to the author of this article that he had not ex-
perrenced the pleasure of one whole night’s sleep
in twenty years. Although a cripple, and suffer-
ing pnrn rind inconvenience of carrying an almost
useless limb, he has acquired a~comgetency far
beyond what most men would have one under
similar-circumstances. Mr. Elsworth was induced
to consult Dr. Itennedy, who at once realized the
‘srtuattonmnd plainly and frankly told the buffer-
cr that the disease had so for advanced that nothz
mg was left for him to do but submit to amputation
of the leg. Consequently on the 15th ofMay,1871.
in presence of, and assisted by several medical
gentlemen, Derennedylamputatcd the log. about
three inches below the ip joint. The bone was
found to be perfectly rotten from end to the other,
and thus proved the correctness of Dr. Kenn cdy’s
din IIOSlSa Mr. Ellsworth made a rapid recovery.
an remains to this day the perfect picture of
health. , ,
Dr. Kennedy does not hesitate to say that the
happy result of this and other cases of a similar
character, was due to the use of the Favorite
Remedy. It was this medicine that purified the
Blood. It was this that regulated the Liver and
Kidneys. and thus gave tone and strength to the
system whrch had become debilitated by the dis-
ease, and in this way prevented a return of the
disease which necessitated so dangerous an op—
eratron.

Masses.- Enrrors :—
Favored as I have been during the past
season with a fair share of the Lumber Trade
in this and the neighboring towns, and be-
lieving that much of that trade has been due
to myhaving on bond at all times, a large
and well assorted Stools 6‘ §aomned Lumber
of the different kinds and gaunt-buses here;
and, furthermore. believing that in order to
sell anything it is necessary to inform the
public that in is kept for sale, I take great
pleasure in announcing that I am provided
with what I candidly believe to be the Largest
and Best assorted Stock of Lumber ever in
this market. Buying direct from the manu-
facturers andshipping entirely by water, I am
able to offer much more favorable prices to
my customers than if purchasing in smaller
lots and paying railroad freight upon them.
While having on hand a sufficient supply
of Rough Lumber to meet the wants of the
trade in that respect, experience has proved
that Dry Dressed Lumber, properly taken
care of, will shrink much less than Dry Lum-
ber newly dressed thus exposing a new sur—
face to the atmosphere. I have, therefore,
\iiimed as far as possible at purchasing Dry
Lumber, having the same dressed at the best
mills in the country, and then re-piling it
. here with lath in alternate courses, until fit
for use.
In the line. of Barn Covering and House
Flooring, where, a few years‘ago, ten and
twelve inch boards were used almost exclus-
ively, latterly the demand. has been ,forfive
and six inch. ' Of this I have to offer One
Hundred and Fifty Thousand feet, mostly of
the cut of ~1877, tongued and grooved, and
surfaced one-side, fifteen-sixteenths thick,
twelve to sixteen feet long. They are all
split. from gang-sawed sleek boards, are of
uniform widths, and for outside covering are
much preferable to that made from strips,
wlrich,'as a rule, have at least one sappy side.
' I have, also, Two Hundred Thousand feet of
ten-inch Ottawa and Michigan gang sawed
boards, tongucd and grooved, planed both
one and two sides.
In Finishing Lumber I offer of stock boards
from two to eighteen inches in width; also,
of promiscuous widths, planed both-sides and
dry.
.v“
I have, also, a full stock of Box Lumber,
both five and seven-eigblhs in thickness.
In Spruce I have five, six, and nine inch
boards, five, six, and nine inch planks, and ‘
nine inch barn floor plank—a choice lot and
at very low figures.
In Timber I offer the best Bangor Spruce,
from 8x8 and 6x10 down ~to 2x3 in size, and
in length up t040 feet. ' My Timber is bright
and free from grit, being loaded into vessels
direct from the steam mills heldw Bangor,
without rafting.
. I sell Bangor Lath exclusively at the same
figures that Calais Lath are ‘offered, thus fa-
voring the consumer from two to three cents
per bunch. If this is doubled by anyone let
him consult any mason with any experience
whatever.
I also offer Blackwalnut, Ash, Whilewood,
Chestnut, Hemlock and Southern Pine. I
-Also Sash, Doors, Blinds, Mouldings and
Ladders, Fence Rails, Pickels, Arbor Slats
and Posts.
But more than all,.I offer Two Hundred
Thousand “Climax” Sawcd Shingle, manu-
facturcd by A. w. Wright,,Saginaw, Michi-
gan. Seven Hundred and Twenty Thou-
sand xxx, w. h. n. a. 00., Sawcd Shingle,
from East Saginaw, Michigan. Two Hun-
dred_Thousand XX, of the same manufacture.
Sixty Thousand‘c. & W. Sawcd'Shingle
from Standish, Michigan, and Three Hun-
dred and Fifty Thousand of the Oscar Fenn
Parallel Planed Shingle. Also, rived-and
shaved Pine and Cedar Shingle. I
I will sell any or all of this stock of Lum-
ber as low :I'as it can be afforded with profit
to myself and a guarantee of quality and an
honest measurement to the buyer. 1 will de-
liver the same In good conditiob, by\rail or
