That the House of Representatives was
organized in the. interest of Samuel J. Tildeh,
is an.undisputcd fact. The old democratic
political stagers here in Washington concede
that Randall’s election as Speaker was an
important victory for Tilden, over-all his
competitors for the dcmocraticno‘mluauon
in 1880. Randall‘s presence at the reception
given by the Manhattan Club, in New York,
imlncdiately after the close of the forty—fifth
Congress, and the absence of Blackburn, who
declined the invitation, were marked evi-
dence of the opening of the battle; and,
although th: democrats labored hard to
smother and "lppress all indications of an
internal fight, yet it; was too apparent a} the
close of the contest to blind their oppOnents
any longer. ‘ Randall has always been
claimed as a Tilden man, while Blackburn
represents that: southern element, which
still labors under the crazy impression—or,
at least feign to—that Tilden was elected in
1876; and feels that he was a moral coward
for not asserting his right to the Presidential
office and calling upon his southern friends,
try to take it by force. These were the two
candidates arranged against each other, and
up to a very few hours before the meeting of
the'democratic caucus, Blackburn’s chances
vrcre equally as good as Randall's. When
ex-Senator Barnum and ex-Seuator Hewitt
appeared upon the scene, there Was a per-
ceptible change in behalf ‘of_ Randall. The
New York City delegation met in caucus‘on
Saturday afternoon at Willard’s Hotel, and in
the absence of Mueller and Overt, merely
talked thc'matter of (speakership over, yet
enough was said to develope the fact that
they were for Randall. They met again on
Sunday, all present but Cox, and resolved to
support Randall. When this news reached
John Kelly, he immediately dispatched ex- ,
Representative Ben. Willis to the scene of
strife, with the orders of Tammany Hall and
their Great Chieftain, that a face-about
should be' made, and that the New York
City democratic members should cast their
v‘otesfor Blackburn. . But Willis arrived too
late; the caucus had decided, and refused to
go back upon their decision, and in the House ,
caucus on Monday night, New York cast
their solid vote,—excepting Cox—for Samuel
J. Randall. A great and silent work was
done by Tilden’s agents, and their rapid
passages to and from the lodgings of certain
members who had not fully - decided as to
their candidate, nearly always resulted in the
conversion of the member, if he was at all
inclined towards Blackburn. There, are
hordes of .“hangers on” .to almost every
democratic Congressman,—very few are free
from them. These men were paid to talk
“Randall” i. e. “Tilden,” to their members,
and their presence and voices did much to
help‘the cause. 'O'hio's delegation had been
counted surely for Blackburn, with the. ex-
ception of one—Frank Hurd. In the caucus,
Mr. Cox was nominated and three or four
Ohio members 'voted for him. This fact
taken in connection with Cox’s presence at
the New York caucus on Saturday, When he
presided, and his absence on Sunday, looks
. very much as if “Uncle Sammy’s” friends
succeeded in breaking into the delegation
from Thurman's state, and very adroitly
used Sam. Cox for that purpose. The demo:
cratic ‘party have surely selected Tilden as
' their candidate fcr 1880, and we shall be
very much surprised if he is not laid out a
"cold corpse,” before the election.
nnromtl.
Had Some of the faithful democrats of our
State, who have zealously labored for Eheir
party for years, and who are now applicants
for' positions under democratic rule in the
Senate and House, witnessed a scene that
fell under our observation on Monday last,
we fear that they would have been tempt-
ed to “weaken" a very.little in their party
devotion. A notoridusly worthless fellow,
from New York City, an employee of the
House, llas,been drunk for the past sixty
days, and when Congress adjourned, this
man could have beenseeu at a door of the
House, acting as a doorkecper, with a 'black
eye and bruised face, and so drunk that
chief dookeeper Field, had to send him away
from his post. His debauch culminated on
Monday, at Willard’s Hotel, where, in the
crowded corridors he was met by a Member
of Congress from New York City, who
seeing-that he was on the verge of an attack
of delert‘u-m lremens. placed him in a hack
and took him to the Providence Hospital,
paying his board for one week. On his re-
turn to the hotel the member remarked,
“well, I“ have got rid of' him for a little
while.” This must indeed be gratifying and
encouraging to those of the democratic party
of a respectable character, w ose petitions
for places here have beeni vain ;' 'while
such a confirmed incbriate is retained. It
was but'a few years since,-this same man
was a “power” in the Tammany Tweed
Ring of New' York and used to show his
soltaire diamOnda and particularly prided
himself upon a thousand dollar seal-skin
overcoat. Hence his power to retain office
under the democratic rule of the House.
WETHAVE CLEAN REBEL RECORD.
But a case of far more serious significance,
we give on the authority of a democratic
congressman. An applicant for a place
from a. {border State, urged his claims be:
cause he had resigned a commission in the
Union Army and joined the Confederate
forces where he had served all through the
rebellion,'except the first few months, when
wearing the blue. His :Senator urged him-
strongly for the place he sought, but was
told—“if would not do to glue him the place
because of his Union Army taint, while there
were so many Confident: whlz'era without a
stain upon their army records,.awaz'ting for
places." The disgust of this nine-tenths rebel
and his Senator, was too intense for repres-
sion, and he has left VWashington a sadder if
not a _wiscr and more loyal man. 'The fact
is, that northern democrats have hadno
more consideration here than a Yankee Re-
publican would have had, in the new make-
up of the. House appointees. It is charged
that the House caucus refused to nomi-
nate ' the loyal rector of Trinity
church here, but went down to Alexandria
and selected a “hard-shell confederate Pres-
byterian for Chaplain. Judge Phelps, with
great provocation and a just indignation,
gave Doorkeeper Field 9. severe “going over”
y‘esterday, denouncing him soundly and
threatening to introduce a resolution of cen-
sure, but the confederate Doorkeeper simply
laughed and defied our only democratic
congressman. In this new deal of the ofliccs,
our Connecticut democrats may just as well
recognize the fact at first, as well as at last,
that there is no show for them here. They
are not wanted. . g ,-

The Secretaryship of the Senate has gone

Our new Senator is making many new and
strong friends. He is almost constantly
complimented upon his marked resemblance
. tothe late Senator Ferry. SenatorEaton‘,be-
-ing chosen chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Relations, ver. gracefully withdrew
from the Patent Com ttee that'Platt might
'take Connecticut’s conceded place thereon.
‘ Senator Ferry was chairman of this commit-
tee for seven years, and Senators Barnum
and Eaton followed in succession as fills on
the same committee. There is the best, of
reasons why our State should be represented:
on this important committee, for the records
Of the Patent Office show that one in every
'eight hundrcd of our population took out
patents the past year. Missouri’s quota was

Our new Congressman, from the Fourth
District", is destined to become one of; the
most efficient and popular members we 'have
ever had in , the House. .On his arrival here
he found about a bushel of requests frOm his
constituents for various public documents.
He at once repaired to the document room of
the House, but found that everything to
which our District was entitled had been
swept clean and transmitted to Nofwalk.
There was not even 'a sheet of wrapping
paper to the credit of the District, so close,
critical and exact had been the “clearing
out.” In this state of the case be promptly
went out into the market and purchased
sundry copies of the Revised Statutes, Con-
gressional Records, and six hundred 'copies
of the last Agricultural Report. His purpose
is to send these latter to the various post of-
fices throughout the District that those who
wish them may obtain copies. Any one not
thus supplied has only to drop him a line
here and it will be forwarded. It isa very‘
exceptional thing to find a congressman with
both the ability and disposition to thus
gratify the wishes of his constituents. Sen-
ators Eaton and Platt, Representatives Miles
and Hawley are domiciled at the Arling-
ton, Col. Wait is at the Ebbitt, and Judge
Phelps at his last session’s quarters.
A ”SCANDAL.
The decent people of Waéhington are just
now being nauseated by the trial of a. poor
woman, clearly insane, who is a plaintiff in a
breach-of-prdmise suit against ex-Scnator
Simon Cameron, (who is only- eighty three
years old. Bcn Butler is conducting the
defence, and of course the dramatic features
of the case are only exceeded by its nasti-
ness. After avowing herself as the widow
Oliver, and then f charging the seductive
octogenarian with destroying her maidenly‘
purity, old Ben suddenly called in a florid
little bald-headed man and ferociously de-
manded, “Mrs. Oliver, isn’t this your hus-
band ?” The poor Witness wilted and at once
responded, “Yes. that‘s him—but he’s chang.~
ed a good deal!” The shddenness of the
collapse of course cenvulsed bench, bar, and
assembled mob. The current theory is that,
the poor wreck has fallen into the hands of a}
'set of legal sharks, who find just enough
“method in her' madness” to excite their.
cupidity and hopes to successfully blackmail-
thc venerable statesman. Sensible people
commend the ex-scnator for the course he
has displayed in seriously contesting the
charges, disgusting as they are, instead of
paying her attorneys the demanded “hush
money.”
on, HOW LONG?
Every one is asking how long the present-
extra session is likely to continue. 001.
Wait and Representative Frye are of opinion
that the democrcy will “give in” on thcii
demands for a repeal of the election laws,
but several other senators and members your
correspondent has interviewed are even more
confident that the session will be a prolonged
and angry one. Such senators as our Mr.
Eaton, and Bayard, of Dclawarc,are desirous
both for party reasons and an honest regard
for the business welfare of the countl‘y,‘that‘
the session should be short, and the appro:
priation bills passed with the least possible
delay. The hot-heads, who unfortunately
seem to dominate, are for carrying the ex;
tremest partizan measures if thereby the
scssionis carried to next December. ,
THE causes.
The '1’rcsident-yesterday: sent in .to the,
Senate the name of Gen. Walker, of New.
Haven, to be the head of the new Census"
Bureau. At the same time he‘ 'sent in the
nomination of Clarence King as chief of the
new Surveying Bureau of the Interior Dc
partment. Prof. Hayden .has virtually
performed the practical details of this new
department for many years,and it is expected
he will still serve" in his former capacity in the
field. ‘ ' ’ "‘
Speaker Randall is hard at work making
up his list of committees but if it is devel—.
oped that the session is to be' a brief orie he
will not announce them until Congress is”;
about ready to adjourn, which will have the"
cfiect of choking off general legislation.
TnnoA‘or SENATOR BELL.
The Senate‘Commiftee on Privileges and"?-
Elections yesterday afternoon heard the Hon.‘“
Charles H. Bell and Senator Rollins, of New '
Hampshire,in argument supporting the valid-.
ity of the former‘s appointment, by the gov-.
crnor, to fill the New Hampshire vacancy in '
the Senate. After some informal discusssion -
on'tbe part of,.thc members of the committee
the further consideration of the subject was.
that had Senator Wadleigh been appointed
his own successor, such is the respect enter-
tained for him by his former associates in
the Senate that no opposition would have
been raised to his admission.
.CIIANDLER'S srnnell.
Senator Chandler’s reply to Senator Lamar,
of Mississippi, who eulogized Jeff Davis on
the floor of the Senate, when Shields‘ amend-
ment was offered tothe Arrears of Pension
Bill, giving the survivors of the Mexican
war the same benefits that are derived by the
soldiers of the' Union army in the late
rebellion, has gone “booming” throughout
the land, and strikes a responsive chord in
the heart of every .loyal man, woman and
child in the country. Three hundred thousand
copies have been ordered printed at the- gov-
ernment printing office, being the largest
number of any one speech ever ordered from
that bureau. Representative Miles has
ordered and paid for 10,000. copies.
MORE FRAUD. ‘4‘
The latest accusation is that the box from
which the members of the House drew their
names for the choice of seats, was ‘ftampcred
with” or “fixed” beforehand. The charge
a
, 'is that all of the New England members’
i'namea were written on slips of heayy. card-
board, whilc the names of those from the
South and West were on the thinnest of
writing paper. By this means the heavy
slips settled. at the bottom of the box, and
New England drew in about a solid body the
last of all about on the outer circle of seats.

would seem to fully verify it; The trick

City vs. Town.
Truer or more sensible words were proba-
bly never penned, than the following from
the Bridgeport Standard. The Standard
man certainly knows whereof he affirms. Let
old Norwalk prayer continue to be “save us
from the folly of: city airs." '
.Some of the ambitious or thoughtless citi-
zens of Stamford wish to take a leap in the
dark, that is, they have askql the legislature
for a city charter. If they knew more about
cities they would care for them less. The
word sounds Well, but it costs more money
and much more bother than it is worth. Per-
haps a city government may become necessary
or proper,’when there is a large number of
inhabitants living in a small area, but towns
like Stamford can have their affairs much
better managed under a town, or at most a
borough government, than with all the para-
phernalia of a mayor, alderman, common
councilme'n, and all the ,sub officials ustlally'
hung on to a city government.

J udge_ Phelps was 88 years old—bis birth-
day annlversary having occurred last month.
He was taken down by illness a year ago,and
hls'dcath was apprehended, but he rallied,
owmg to a strong constitution. J pdge P.has
long been the wealthiest and most prominent
resident of Simsbury, where his large real
estate possessions comprise some of the best
land ln that fertile part of the Farmington
yallcy. Hcflhas been small of uncommon bus-
iness saghClty and far-seeing judgment, and
during his long life be accumulated an ample
fortune and a large estate. Unlike his.
brother, the late Hon. Noah A. Phelps, he
was not a graduate ,of any college, but he
'was admitted to the Hartford county bar,
and in the days of the county courts he was
the Judge (1850, 1851, etc.) of the Hartford
County Court. He was an influential man in
a wider field than that of his own immediate
town locality. For many years he was the
counsel for the New Haven and Northamp-
ton Railroad Company (the “Canal road”)
whose track passes through his Simsbury
domain, and his good judgment was valuable
to that corporation. He was of a long-lived
race, and one of a family of brothers and
sisters marked for their strength of character.
One of his brothers was the late George D.
Phelps, of New York,a successful merchant;
anotherwas the late Dr. Guy It. Phelps of
this~ city, the founder of the Connecticut
Mutual Life Insurance Company. He was
one of a family of five brothers and three
sisters, all of whom he has survived—Harl-
ford Times, March 21%.
Judge Phelps having been many times a
member of the Legislature in years long gone
by, and held various other offices. was well
known throughout the State. He has fre-
quently been in our town visiting his son-in-
law, cx-Mayor Ely, of South Norwalk. For
many years he was in the employ of the New
York and. New Haven Railroad as attorney,
and had charge of the purchasing of supplies
for the road. He began life very poor, with-
out a dollar,and by indomitable perseverance,
industry and frugality, accumulated a large
fortune.

The past few months have been months of
great affliction. But in the midst of all, I
have had abundant cause for gratitude to my
Heavenly Father, for his mercy and grace, to
me and mine. In the Providence of God, I
am located in the midst of neighbors the very
best; with hearts, sympathetic and kind.
And now permit me, through your excellent
Journal, to express my heart-felt gratitude,
to my neighbors. to the church, and all who
have, in the kindness and liberality of their
hearts, remembered us while passing through
the fire. May God bless, and abundantly re-
ward them, in the present life an hundred
fold, and in the world to come with a far
more oxooodias and etc: nal weights of glory.
