EDITORIAL LETTER.

DEAR GAZETTE _:'—- .
The address of Senator Blaine delivered in
the Senate on Wednesday, supporting 1113
resolution for an investigation of the South-
ern outrages, was one of those cxceptionablc
*vcnts which arouse the public interest and
:a this'cnsc called out one .of the densest
- rowds which ever prcssed, the doors and
orridors of that vast audience chamber. It
as a proof of how keenly sensitive the
; ~1blic mindis on the Subject; to be brought
LilLIel' discussion, for Mr. Blaine had not
. signed to make any lengthy or elaborate
.eech. Indeed, as able and clear and con-
e as were his remarks, and as good as were
- responses of Thurman and Lamar from
. r-ir standpoints, there was at the end of the
waking, when Edmunds with tantalizing
ainess moved the Senate proceed to the
:sideration of the regular order,a readily
narent feeling among the crowd of “well,
iiis all there is of it?” In this self-sag.
ting question lies much prospective.
srulation. The friends of Blaine say he
ignedly refrained from opening a general
. .10, but wished only to draw out the
my by this preliminary skirmish. The.
»=.ses who pressed into the chamber, and in
ation of the rules, on to the Senate floor
cell,,.were impressed with the expectation
r a terrific onslaught was to be made all
.2: the line. Blaine-s strategy is com-
.:ded universally by his friends and even
zplimented by his opponents. What he
i could not have been better said, and he
.ciously stopped short when he had made
Joints. Thurman had been settled upon
answer him, without knowing what he
. going to say, but the Ohio statesman
:ently had been completely thrown from
scent. In his own mind, it was evident
. he had conjectured, Blaine would pursue
-.~utirely different. line of argument. The
.mcratic idea evidently had been that
me would simply assail- the South for
:lIILIng the outrages upon the negrocs,
ing ballot boxes, etc., with the notorious
as paper ballots. But when he passed
r all these as mere incidentals to his main
Egument, which was that every single
vote in the South was by violence and
:1 made to overbalance two at the North,
.v and far graver question was raised, and
. manner in which Thurman floundered
:t at his start off, showed how perfectly
.10 had captured and nonplussed him.
{ 'ac’s style of utterance was cool and
gllatic without his accustomed fervor and
' untencc, but whep he warned the South
: they might not hope to continue with
- y to themselves a system of fraud by
. -h the white Confederate soldier who
- .ht to destroy this Union was to exercise
. . .‘:Ie the political power of the white
‘ E a soldier who periled his life in opposing
- " destruction, theefiect was electric and
wand although uttered in a most unim-
~oned manner. Poor Lamar was placed
'--; most uncomfortable fix of any one,
,. was a fatal mistake that he entered the
_-. at all. In the fervor of his remarks he
ulcusly let slip the cherished hobby of
South as to the unfair preponderance of
' .cul power wielded by New England in
1pate. Lamar evidently felt that his
. .uction would expect him to say some-
, ;;, and he struggled with his unexpected
nullies as best he could. Senator Ed-
l::, of Vermont, who is the coolest and
same time the most provoking man in
, ess,who cuts to the bone as mercilessly
- :ztrgeou and as clean and as sharply as a
,. .scus blade, rose to reply to Lamar on
. .-.'ew England senatorial representation,
. i :lutened him out as effectually as Mr.
-l . . y’ did‘GeurNyc‘srhatzwhenmmflmw
in the same Senate chamber some years
Lamar’s point of answer was deemed
mly one he could make, and while its
.ilciencies is conceded it has nevertheless
. . ;‘Jt‘\!i the discussion as to the South’s best
'c: of remedying their loss of preponder-
power in the Senate. One argument

’ .. debate on Blaiue’s resolution mut inevi-
3' be renewed, as the Democrats concede
unsatisfactory way in which they are left
. :ol‘crence to it. As his speech is to be the
r. of future discussions, will become
, uric, it should be given the widest
. -ulatiou and everywhere read.
L‘hc “regular order,” which was carried by
'rillllidS, was the consideration of his Elec-
ul Bill, and which be briefly explained as
'..lllgIDg the time for the appointment of
colors from the first Tuesday in November,
-- now provided, to' the first Tuesday in
'tobcr. It further provided that the
. ectors should meet and'give their votes on
.2 second Monday .of January, instead of
..31li'st Wednesday of December, as under
.e existing law. The Electors were to be
pointed a month earlier than now, and
em to meet a month later. The object of
. .is was to give a longer time for the State

'rovided that-each State, by law passed
clorchan'd, should provide for the trial and-
:.,-termiuation of any questions: to who may
.. {vc been chosen an Elector. The fifth
- ~etion was about the same as the present
, .tv, which provided for the Executive of the

ext section provided for the ceremony or
mm of counting the votes on the second

rhould declare theltruc one; or that, where
~‘.c State- failed to provide for itself, in case
it a dispute, as to who were its Electors, no
2 wte should be received unless upon the
iii-mauve vote of the two houses of Con.
--=‘ess. The next section prohibited debate
r. hen the two houses were in joint session.

vo houses upon any question arising,’and

ounce of becoming a law. '
In the House, the pious Fernando Wood
as been in tribulations over our little friend
.ohuny Davenport. Davenport prevented
Arne immaculate democrats from voting at
m late election in New York City, on fraud-
zcnt naturalization papers, hence Fernando's
:ngS. Yesterday-he got his resolution of in-
.estigating Davenport before'thc House, and

The festival given by the Ladies’ Temptr-
aucc Union, at the Opera House, list Wed-
nesday evening, was quite largely attended,
and the ladies cleared over $50 for their treas-
ury. The concert occupied about an hour,
and although of an informal character was
quite pleasing. Miss Alice Selleck and Mrs.
Raymond sanglsolos, the Misses Warren rcn:
dered a duett, and the Adelphi club gave a
variety of jubilee songs. Mr. Frank S. Fau-
cher recited Damon and Pythias' in a man-
ner that would have been creditable to a pro-
fessional elocutionist. The quiet and order-
ly conduct of boys and young men (l) on
this occasion can only be accounted for by
the presence of so many ladies. After the
concert refreshments were served.
V The annual meeting of thc Fairficld Coun-
ty Agricultural Society is to be held at the
Norwalk Hotel, on the 18th inst. It is earn-
estly requested that there be a full and gen-
eral attendance of all shareholders, as this,
the annual mcetiugfis the only one during
the year at which they can have a hearing
or take any part therein.
The storm- of last Monday and Tuesday
was especially severe at the North and East.
The rivers in many places were higher than
known for years. Bridges were swept array,
and Railroads damaged. Westfield. Mass,
was inundated, the water being ten feet deep
in some of the leading streets. The estimat-
ed damage to the place is about $300,000.
Large losses were sustained in many other
places.
After db illness of seven long years, Mrs.
Burr, wife o‘Rcv. Z. B. Burr, .of Southport,
passed away on the 7th inst. For several
years past Mr. and Mrs. Burr have spent the
winter at the South, in hopes of benefitting
her health, and during those trips he has
favored the GAZETTE with extremely interest-
ing letters. Our readers ivho thus became
interested in the invalid wife will sympa-
thize with the bereaved husband.

If the opinion expressed by Judge Brews—
ter in regard to the liability of bondsman for
liquor dealers is correct, it behooves every
such bondsman to resolve himself into a
special policeman or private watchman. In
case of conviction for Sunday selling, or
other offense, the bondsman Are liable for
the full amount of the bonds. Heretofore
,“giving bonds” was a mere formality, a' legal
farce,—now it is a serious matter and bonds—
men must look sharp or be ruined.

Passed away, yesterday morning, after a

John Conlin, of Bridgeport, must have as
many lives as a cat. A few weeks since, he
was buried alive at So. Norwalk, in a sewer
but come out all right. Last Thursday, while
at work in the bottom of the sewer excava—
tion he was struck in the head by a heavy
maul which slipped from the hands of a fel-
low workman ten feet above him while driv-
ing a plank to keep the bank from caving
He was supposed to be dead, but was'takeu
up, came to, and is now apparently in a fair
way to recover. His wife is here taking
care of him.
Under the lead of a man who tried to get
his_own salary raised $100 yesterday,-—and
failed,——the Town meeting voted not to pub-
lish the annual reports in the two leading
papers, as customary, but to print the same
in pamphlet form, at acost not to exceed
$85. The folly of printing such reports in
pamphlet form will probably never bere-
peated in Norwalk. The statement of cost
of the publication in the papers, made at the
meeting, We believe to be erroneous The
average cost, per year, for the past five years,
we believe to be not more than half the
amount stated. Last year the cost was
above the average, we judge, and still prob.-
ably one-third less than stated. As to the
convenience and value of the two modes of
publication there can be no question.
A delegation of 25 men in uniform
from Phoenix Engine Co. and Pioneer II.
&L.Co. of the Borough Fire Department
went over yesterday (Monday afternoon) to
Bridgeport on invitation of Howe Drum
Corps to attend the ball on Monday even-
ing, of the said Drum Corps. They have fur.-
nished music quite acceptably several times
lately for Phoenix and this is a friendly re-
turn of courtesies between the two com-
panics.

The case of Lockwood- as Keeler, last
week resulted in a verdict of damages for
the plaintiff. If the case can be appealed
it probably will be. The damages were fer
false imprisonment, as we understand it,
and not for ejectment or assault. As the
arrest was made on the spot by a Boro’
policeman, it is difficult to see how Mr.
Kceler can be made to pay damages for
imprisonment. If policemen cannot make
arrests without first obtaining warrant-s we
might just as well dispense with them alto-
gether. But the ways of the law are past
finding out.
Acollision occured at Noroton on the
evening of the 5th, Dec. between teams
of Ira Scoficld and John W. Weed,. Weed’s
team driven by Mike— formerly in the
employ of Weed. Mike returning from

the bridge near E. B. Hull’s on a slow trot,
l-Mikes horse taking a shy towards Scofield
hooked hisshaft in Scofield‘s hind wheel
breaking the shaft back of the hold-back
strap and clearing from the wagon with
part of the shaft and impaling himself
on S. C. Morrison’s door yard fence which,
that o'r the shaft caused his death. Mike
was thrown out of the wagon and badly
injured. Scoficld received no injury either
in pcrson,horsc, wagon, or harness. Mack
is recovering and is about as usual.

The Farmer’s Convention.
'. Our citizens missed a rare treat last week
in not more generally attending the season
of lectures and discussions open to them at
Lockwood‘s Rubin the session of the so-
called Farmers Convention, but it was of
benefit to others than farmers and we regret
that our people were not present in larger
numbers to seek the riches thereof. There
was a good’attcndancc from abroad, especi-
ally iron the eastern part of our State, and
quite a numbcrpf our prominent agricultural-
ists from Weslport and New Canaan.
The show of apples was good, and to that
we were indebted to friends abroad rather
than at home.
Hon. E. H. Hyde presided at the regular
SCISIODS with ease and dignity.
At each session a paper prepared for the
occasion‘ was read upon some prominent
topic and afterwards the matter discussed it
large by those present.
Prof. Brewer gave several able and in-
structive addresses and took an active part
in the several discussions and was always
listened to with a good deal of interest.
The veteran secdsman J. H. Gregory of
Marblehead, Mass, read on Thursday, a. m.,
a paper upon source, care, &c. of seeds and
readily replied to all questions pertaining
thereto. He thought old seed never was re-
liable; seed ought always to be new and
fresh. This was followed in the afternoon
with a paper on‘secd breeding by Dr. E. L.
Sturtevant of Framingham. Mr, Miles
showed summer apples that had been kept
in his fruit house during the fall.
“Does freezing benefit an agricultural
soil" was a question from the box that elicited
much discussion, of which the affirmative
seemed to have the best of it. In the even-
ing Dr. Cressy, the State Veterinary Surgeon
spoke of the internal diseases of cattle and
was listened to with apparent pleasure. after
which a long discussion upon cattle disor-
ders took place, participated in quite gener-
ally.
Friday morning lE’rof. Brewer opened with
a paper on Vitality of Seeds, after which the
question box was resorted to as follows:
“Arc leached ashes beneficial, at what
price, and where are they obtained 1’”
Mr. Wakeman, Westport—We buy them
at fourteen cents per bushel. They come
from Canada. Their application has proved
very profitable in this section of the state.
Mr. May of Woodstock thought the effect
upon land in his vicinity was temporary.
Mr. Terrell of Middlefield had used ashes
with unfavorable results. .
“Is there any evidence that lime in any
condition is beneficial to the soil of this
state ?"
Mr. Plumb inquired if there had been airy
analysis made of lime burned in Trumbull.
Professor Brewer thought not.
“Can any young man with $2,000 buy a
farm for $4,000, paying one—half, and by any
system of farming, high or low, pay for his
farm ?" .
Mr. Webb thought he could, if a good
manager and industrious.
Mr. Plump thought he could, if his wife
were a helpmeet. Economy, industry and.
persuasion would accomplish a great deal.
At the afternoon session, Mr. J. H. Bow—
ditch of Pomfret read a paper upon the
outdoor propagation of nursery stock. He
gave plain and practical directions for the
propagating of vine plants from cutting and
seed,
Every town ought to have a farmer’s club,
and every farmer should belong to such an
organization and assist in the finding out and
dissemination of knowledge, each taking up
such a branch, horticultural or otherwise, as
he or she may be inclined to investigate. ,
Mr. Jennings of Westport spoke strongly
in favor of farmer’s clubs.
Professor Atwater of Middletown wanted
to know what grape he had better plant in
his garden, where the old varieties were
dying out.
Mr. Bowditch recommended him to try
Mr. Henry Randle pruned out his old
wood, kept away heating manure, such as
horse manure, and applied ground bone ashes
and like fertilizers.
Mr. Augur trusted the assembled farmers
would deeply consider the ideas advanced
by the lecturer. He doubted whether it was
best for every farmer to try and be his own
nurseryman. He advised people to buy of
reliable nurserynien, never of unknown tree
peddlers. .
In answer to a question regarding the use
of plaster, Mr. Gold said the beneficial effects
of plaster were not as certain or reliable as
was the case a few years ago.
Professor Brewer said the farm of his
father had been treated with plaster for many
years, audit was still beneficial.
Mr. Randle found that plaster remedied
mildew on his grapes.
Professor Atwater said in reviewing the
reports from a large number of experiments
in which plaster was among the articles used,
it was beneficial in but a small minority of
cases.
In the evening Prof. Atwater of the Conn.
Experiment Station gave a Chemical Lecture
of much interest after which a long discus—
sion took place. _
The meetings have been full of interest to
all who have attended, and the discussions
well participated in. The princiblc ones
taking part were Dr. Sturtevant of Fram—
mingham, May of Woodstock, Avery of
Groton, Augnr of Middleficld, Sedgwick,
Human, Gold, Fenn, Boroditch, Hart, Wake;
man, Jennings, Hoyt and Randle.
The Board expressed themselves highly
gratified with the meetings held here, but
we sincerely hope that whenever they hold_
another Convention here that our citizens
will fill the hall at every lecture.

A few Words about Dr. Duvld Kennedy
Taken from the Handout N. Y., Daily Freeman.-
“ While Dr. Kennedy has proved himself an ex-
cellenttphiysicinn, and discovered - the most valua-
ble me l'c us ever offered to an afflicted ublic it
must not be forgotten that he deserve y stands
second to none in 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 incident to a disease Involving the great-
or portion of the left thigh bone, and during all
this time he had been kept lu.blissful ignorance,
by the many 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-
perienced the pleasure of one whole night's sleep
in twenty years. Although a. cripple, and suffer-
ing pain and inconvenience of carrying an almost
useless limb, he has" acquired a com etency far
beyond what most men would have one under
simllnrcircumstances. Mr.Elsworth was induced
to consult Dr. Kennedy, who at once realized the
situation, and plainly and frankly told the suffer-
er that the disease had so far advanced that noth-
ing was left for him to do but submit to amputation
in presence of, and assisted by several medical
gentlemen, Dr.Keunedy am timed the leg. about
three inches below the hip oiut. The bone was
found to be perfectly rotten from end tothe 0 er.
and thus proved the correctness of Dr.Kenne y’s
diagnosing Mr. Elsworth made a rapid recovery,
ahndltfiemams to this day the perfect picture of
ca .
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 which hnd become debilitated by the dis-
ease, and in this way prevented a return of the
distant; which necessitated so dangerous an op-
era on.
