The effort to get up the case of Corbf’n,-
reported by the Senate Committee on Privi-5,
logos and Elections as having been legally
elected an U. 8. Senator from South Carolina
in place of Gen. Butler, of New Hamburg
massacre fame, the sitting member, was a
signal failure. Several Republicans thinking
' it inexpedient to open the case at this time
voted with the democrats and thus refused
to seat Corbin.

The Post Office Bill, as passed by the Sen.
ate, had the John Roach Brazilian subsidy.
and the Bisscli third class mail matter classi-
fication provision attached. The House has
defeated the Brazilian mail scheme, but
practically adopted the new classification
provisions, which will be a blessing to every
one who uses the mails for printed matter.
Ycung Bissell has labored incessantly and
with a discretion equal to his z’eal in getting
his new provisions attached to ‘the postal
laws, and the general publichas as much
reason as he, to rejoiceat this, successful end-
ing of his efforts. -.
Tan raxslox ABBEARS BILL.
This measure still hangs fire. ,Congressmun
bravely voted for .the payment of these
arrearages, but with characteristic cowardice
have thus far dodged all practical means of
providing the wherewithal to do it with.
The democrats now seem vastly more anxious
to make it appear that they are entitled to
the gratitude of~ the soldier element in' our
politics for having first orignated the measure
than they do to' legislate the money for the
payment of the vast sum. The real facts
- are that they are not only not entitled to the
credit of originating the measure, even, but
opposed its first introduction,” the following
record will show. In the Forty-third Con-
gress to the present time all the opposition to
it has come from the democrats, On the
15th of J one, 1874, the evening session being
devoted to reports from the Committee on
Invalid Pensions, General J. M. Rusk, of
Wisconsin, chairman of the committee,
moved that the Committee of the Whole be
discharged from further consideration of
House bill No. 674 for the purpose of being
considered in the House. This bill is iden-
tical in its provisions with the bill passed by New York, responded.
the present Congress.
Mr. Storm (dem.) objected.
Mr. Rice (dem.) moved that the bill be laid
on the table.
Mr. Rusk endeavored to obtain an under-
standing that the previous question bc order-
ed at the night- session, so that a vote could
be had on the bill in the morning.
Mr. Beck ( 111.) made the point of order
that, the session in assianed to theconsid-
oration of pension bi is, this bill was not in
order. The point of order Was over-ruled by
the chair. ' I
' Mr. Parker (N. H., dem.)-—This bill will
take $10,000,000 out of the Treasury. _ .
Mr. Rusk—What difierence if it takes $50,
000,000 out of the Treasury. If our crippled
soldiers are entitled to this money,why should
we refuse to pay it to them i , ~
Mr. Beck moved to adjourn. _ Rejected—
yas,45 (nearly alldemocrats); nays, 106.
Mr. Stone (dem.) moved to lay the bill on
the table. » ,
Mr. Beck moved to adjourn to Thursday,
and then take a recess to ten a. m., on which
he demanded the yeas and as s.
Finding the Democratic si e determined to
spend the night 'in_fiiibustering against the
bill, Mr. Rusk then withdrew it to allow
other reports to be made.
The session-terminated on the 23d of J une
without final action having been reached on
the bill. _ ‘
The following important amendment was
attached to the regular pension appropriation
bill, and this will give to all whose claims
have been “piled up" in the pension office,
on account of the lack of force to get them
out, payment of their pensions from the date
of the death br disability Of the soldier, and
not from date of issue as_the law has hither-
to been, constituted .by the Pension Ofiice.
T'oQSena‘tor Ingalls more than any other per-
son, are the soldiers and their heirs indebted
for this simple act of justice. The'following
is Senator Ingalls’ amendment; ’ .
Section 9. All pensions which have been
or which‘may hereafter be granted in conse-
quence of death occurring from a cause
which 0 ' 'nated in the service, since the 4th
day of , 1871, or in consequence of
wounds or injuries received, or disease con,-
tractcd since that date, shall commence from
the death or discharge of the person on
whose account the claim has been or is here.
after granted, or from the termination of the
right of party havin prior title Ito such
pension. Provided: he application for
such pension has been or is hereafterI filed
with the commissioner of pensions prior to
the 1st day of July, 1880, otherwrse‘the pen-
sion shall commence from the date of filing
the application; but ' the limitation herein
rescrlbed shall not apply to claims by or in
f of insane persons, and children under
sixteen years of age. .
. a Passion To JEFF DAVIS.
13y~ far the most extraordinary piece of
legislation by this most extraordinary and
chaotic Congress was the adoption of an
amendment to the Pension Bill conferring a
pension upon all surviving oficers and men
who 'mod in the M’wi'can roar. This covertly
confers a pomionon that arch traitor, Jefer.
mt Davis. Nor is this the end of the demo-
cratic programme in aid and comfort of the
Confederate statesman. It is well understood
that he is to be returned to the United States
Senate as the successor of Senator Bruce.
This is' openly and enthusiastically urged by
the democratic press of Mississippi, at the
head of which is the Meridian Mercury.
And why should he not .be received back
into full communion and fellowship in the
democratic party in Congress, for surely the,
disloyal branch is the dominating power 'in
it, and that is'what and why it will'surely go
to the wall in 1880. Thoughtful people are
alarmed at the solid march of the democracy
of the Confederate States to supreme povVer
in the government of the nation, '

OLD YALE.
The Yale Alumni Association of the city
of Washington gave their annual dinner at
the Arlingtoil last evening. About sixty
members were present, Justice Strong pre-
siding. Prior to the banquet the association
held a business meeting, at which Colonel
Clark, of the Educational Bureau. read a very
feeling and eloquent tribute to the memory
of'Gcneral A. S. Williams, who presided at
last year’s banquet, during a portion of the
evening’s exercises and."who it will here-
membered, recently; died here. Gen. W.
was a native of Lyme in our state, a graduate
of Yale and a man of very distinguished
charateristics and abilities. Col. Clark’s
address was beautiful as well as heartfelt
presentation of the virtues ofhis dead friend.
Prof. Thatcher came on from New Haven
to represent Yale- at the banquet. After
the dinner Justice Strong made a few very
feiicitous remarks, when he announced the
following toasts: ‘
“Alma Mater.” Responded to by Professor
Thatcher.
“Yale in the Judiciary.” Chief Justice
Waite responded. '
“Yale in the House of Representatives.’
Responded to by Mr. Gibson of La.
"‘Yale at the Bar." Responded to by
Hon. 8. W. Kellogg, in a short, but neat,
pithy and eloquent speech.
“Yale in the Army.” Responhl to by
Colonel Mallory.
“Yale in the Medical Profession.” Re—
sponded to by Dr. C. 'C. Cox.
“Yale on Education.” To which Profes-
sor Barnard, of Hartford, Connecticut re-
sponded.
“Yale in the Press." Responded to by
Mr. Elliot, of the New York Evening Post.
“Young Yale at the Bar." Mr. Blaine, of
“Yale homage to Responded
to by Mr. Milburn.
These Were followed by volunteer toasts,
which met with happy responses, until the
night had worn itself into the morning.
the ladies.”
The young son of Senator Blaine, made
one of the wittiest, brightest and most
unique responses of the evening. The boy
is evidently bound to do honor to his dis-
tinguished father’s reputation asan orator.
MODEST.
An admiring constituent of our retiring
Senator, Mr. Barnum, residing not a thou-
sand miles from Bridgeport, wrote him the
other day requesting that “all the historical,
geological, geographical or other scientific
or general publications ever issued by the
government, he sent him on receipt of
which the‘recipient would be duly grateful
&0. Senator Eaton seeing the appalling
solicitation, naively remarked that it would
take more than “seven mules," to cart out
all those books. i
. PERSONALS. _
Ex Gov. Jewell has just paid as a flying.
visit; Gen. Hawley and Gen. Kellogg, and
Senator-elect O. H. Platt are now here. Our
new Senator was on thefioor of the Senate
to-day, and was introduced by Senator
Eaton to the major part of his colleagues.
Rev. Mr. Perrin, of Wolcottvillc, is here.
Dr. Child's left to-day for Philadelphia,
where he is to preach to-morrow. His
family expect to join him there next week.
Mr. Serealls, of New' Haven, is here on the
sugar question, as is also, David A. Wells of
Norwich. Mrs. Rear Admiral Lanman of
Norwich, left for home yesterday, having
been successful in her application for an act
granting her a pension. Mr. R. Lockwood,
Esq. and daughter of Norwalk, was here the
past week. Ex-Gov. Ingersoll and Repre-
sentative Leeds of New Haven, left for home
on Monday last. Commodore Gardner, of
New London, was here after the appropria-
tion committee and got the Thames River
allowance nearly doubled in the River and
Harbor Bill. Senator Eaton hopes to get
the clause, which has been stricken out,
appropriating to construct a Fog horn signal
at the Lighthouse on- Execution Rocks,
restored. This certainly should be left in
the Bill, if anything is to remain.
_ ' _ As Ever, '
P. S.—SuNnax, 1030 r. M.
The House received the Presidsnt's veio
last night and tried to pass the bill but could
not-raise the requisite two thirds vote. The
Senate reconvened at 2 o’clock this after-
noon and the House at 9 to-night and expects
to continue in'session till morning. when a
recess will be taken, and then sit till Tues;
day noon. With this last day vigilance,
an extra session still seems most probable.
The conference committee has reported a
disagreement on the Army Bill. The Senate
has worried thre‘h the River and Harbor
Bill and all the increased appropriations for
Connecticut have passed without alteration.
If they survive the House we shall be ex-
ceptionally fortunate, as our increase amounts
in the aggregate to about fifty thousand
dollars.
Iu-iiio House debate on the Sugar bill was
resumed last night, but Mr. Robbins (Dem.,
N. c.) withdrew it, which buries it for' this
session. Mr. Vince (Dem. N. C.) moved to
suspend the rules and pass the bill amending
the Patent laws. Rejected. Our Connecti-
cut Inventors should thank Representative
Waitfor his able and efficient labors-for the
defeat of this mischievous bill.

, v ' ARREARS or PENSIONS.
During the-night Senator :Ingalls got in an
amendment to the appropriations of 825,-
000,000 to ,pay arrears of pensions, but it
was ruled out of order, but later it was
amended and passed. A motion to recon-
sider followed its passage and it now lies
tied up on the Senate Table. What will be
the ultimate result no one can now accurate-
ly, conjecture, but it is to bc‘fcared that the
whole measure may finally fail. As this
Bill was largely engineered through by

lated for their use, there being plenty of light
which is very desirable. The location is
also remarkably good. being close to the Rail-

years was found dead near the boundary
line of Norwalk and Wilton, and near the
residence of. T. M. Raymond, Esq, on the
new road recently opened on Belden’s Hill.

cut wood and was found lying alongside of
a log on which he had evidently sat down to
rest after working awhile, and had been
attacked with heart disease and had fallen

have caused suffocation, if he had merely
fallen insensible. His body was discovered
at about 1 o’clock by a Mr. J elliffe who was

Hatfield was until recently a milkman and
had a milk route in Norwalk. His funeral
was attended on Sunday.

The debate at the Temperance Reform
Booms between Messrs. Harlem and T. W.
Gibson, was decided on‘ Friday evening
last in the amrmative, in the favor of Mr.
Harlem. The discussion drew quite a large
number to' hear it, and the question was
ably handled on both sides. Mr. Gibson in
his argument claimed that. the appetite was

showed that the so called special nerves have
the influence for the craving appetite, while
the will or mind had nothing to do with the
offices of these nerves, only as they may be
abused by the indulgences of the appetite.

All Down Town is excited over a cattle
case. Mr. Wm. Peck recently took up five
head of cattle and impounded them on his
premises, claiming they had damaged his
grape vines and other property to the amount
of $50. The cattle were tied to trees, it is
said, and kept four ‘or five days exposed to
'bitter storms. Mr. Enos Osborn. the owner,
tendered poundage and claimed the cattle,
but Mr. Peek at first demanded ten dollars
additional for damages. The case was
brought before Justice Bouton, who awarded
Mr. Peck fifty cents damage. Mr. Osborn
then had Mr. Peck arrested and brought be.
fore Justice Stuart. charged with cruelty to
animals. The case was commenced on Sat-
uarday last, and adjourned until next Satur-
day. ‘ .

The financial embarrassmentsof Archbish-
op Purcell are even more serious ”than was.
first announced. All the claims against him
have not yet been audited,but from $100,000
they have grown to $3,500,000. No one
“suspects the Archbishop of anything worse
than carelessness, and there is a very general
'sympathy felt for him—Palladium.
* Such "carelessness" is, simply sublime.
The people who sympathise with him so
deeply ought to make up the little amount at
once and relieve him of his unpleasantness
until he can get a fair start again.

Not to be behind the age, the students of
Trinity college, Hartford, have been out in
Open'rebellion. At their Washington anni-
versary celebration they réfused to submit to
the censorship of the Faculty, hired a hall in
the city, and talked and sungas they pleased.
On Monday eight were expelled. I The other
students escorted them to the cars, and threat-
ened to follow. Parents were telegraphed
for by the Faculty, and the affair created a
great sensatioa in the city. Finally the quar-
rel was patched up by the students signing a
paper admitting they had acted against the
regulations, when the Faculty condoned the
offence and recalled the expelled students. ‘

The Buchholz Case.
On Wednesday last the grand jury came
into the Superior Caurt, at Bridgeport, and
, presented a true bill against Buchholz for
the murder of Schulte. The prisoner was
ordered to stand up and listen to the read-
' The various counts
in it allege the killing of Schulte .by the
accused by the infliction of two fatal wounds
in the head with a hatchet and with some
instrument unknown. Death is alleged
from each of the wounds singly and from
both together. The prisoner heard the in—
dictment read without understanding it.
It was explained to him, however, by an
interpreter, through whom he pleaded not-
guilty. His face was slightly flushed dure
ing the ceremony, but he showed no other
sign of being disturbed. The court order-
ed that he be remanded to await trial.
In regard to this case some new facts have
come to light since the coroner‘s investi—
gation in Norwalk. Buchholz said thata
portion of the money found in his posses—
sion was seutVto him by his sister from
Germany in a letter. The day he said
this he went into a closet in Paul Hercher’s
saloon il Norwalk with Constable Dayton
and when he came out he had a roll of
bills in his hand. The letter in which the
money came he said he had just destroyed.
The theory of the prosecution has been that
he actually did receive a letter from his
sister, but that it contained no money, and
that be destroyed it in order that it might
not contradict his story. State Attorney
Olmstead has a deposition from the sister
in Germany showing that she never sent
him any money at any time. Buchholz
also testified before the grand jury at Nor-
walk that he loaned Schulte some money,
and that not having any small bills Schulte
went to New York and got some $20 bills
and came back and repaid the loan. The
marked $20 bills were produced as the
ones paid him. Mr. Olmstead has aletter
from a German banker stating that the
marked bills were purchased of him by
Schulte before he left Germany- for this
country.
The following is from a letter received by
a friend from-Mr. S. F. Peck. We hope his
“north ear" escaped injury.

How a. Cat, Probably, Saved a
House from Burglary.
Last Monday evening between ten and
and eleven o’clock, as Mr. Edward Chasmar
sat reading in his home, at Five Mile River,
he noticed some strange movements on the
part of a pet cat, which had been lying by
the stove. - ,
The cat suddenly sprang up, pricked up
his ears and passed into an adjoining room;
then back again, appearing dissatisfied with
something. Mr. Chasmar spoke quite sharp-
ly to the cat, calling him by name; but it
still seemed to be listening, and Mr. C. spoke
again, when it became more quiet and finally
lay down again by the stove.
On going out the next morning, Mr. Chas-
mar discovercd the nosing of both bolt and
lock on his basement door had been started
and were hanging by one screw; but on
investigating he found that the door had
not been opened, although the door frame
and door showed marks where some kind of
pry had been inserted.
A little later in the-day Mr. C. heard that
some one had entered a neighbor’s house by
prying open a window with a large screw—
driver, which they had left pushed in be—
tween the frame and sash, to hold the latter
up, and stolen a watch.
Comparing the screw-driver with the marks
on his basement door, Mr. C. found them to
correspond ; and as the neighbors had heard
a dog barking furiously about the time of his
cat’s peculiar conduct, he concludes that the
tramps or burglars were operating on his
door at the time he spoke to his cat, 'and
took the alarm and left. '

the Hduse of Representatives last sessibn
and was continued to this General Assembly
as prescribed by article eleventh of the
Constitution, the complaints in: some pa-
pers that the mémbers of the present legis-
lature have done a selfish thing in' voting
for it is absurd, for there may be _no extra
session called next year. .
If the sessions of the General Assembly
are to be held every other year, then it
is desirable that the odd years shouldj be
selected,,-thc elections being held in the
even years. There must be elections in the:
even years for Representatives in Congress
and every fourth year for President and Vice-r
President of the ~United States. But itis
essential to the security-of the State that
there shall be at all times within call of
the Governor a General Assembly, or mem-
be called together should any sudden emer-
gency arise calling for their presence. So
while it is most unlikely that the present
General Assembly will be called together
again, it was eminently wise and proper
that the term of its members should be ex-
tended so that the corporate existence of the .
Legislature might be preserved till the next
regular election. .
The bill placing the property of religious

A bill was passed Friday, providing that

The House Thursday, concurred with the
Senate in appropriating $5,000 to be ex-
pended at the discretion of the State Li-
brarian for library purposes. This approp-
riation comes just at the right time, as it
affords money to be spent in purchasing
books from the Brinley Library. ' It is un-
derstood that in that collection are many
books of interest to the State. .
The Senatc? passed a resolution on Friday‘
morning, regretting the resignation of Sena-

The representatives of Fairfield county,
met yesterday to consider a proposition to

An examination of the piers of the dome
of the Capitol and as to who is responsible
for the very bad mason work in their con-
struction, has been going on, during the
past week, and some timely talk has been,

Commissioners Superintendent, _ and con-
tractors would all snifer in reputation—for
the work has been of the most shoddy kind.
As the outer edges only of the great blocks
,of granite were dressed square, and the
inner surfaces were left hollow, the whole
of the enormous weight of the structure
rests on these edges, and these are giving
away; great masses of them having stufied
off. Molten type metal is being poured
into the joints where the mortar should have
been. It is a disgraceful job.
