T Norwalkdazette. Tuesday, April 22nd. 1879. EDITORIAL LETTER. Wasmnc'rox, April 19, 1879, Dean Gurus: :— , Theheaiwst blows our adversaries.havc yet rescind, were the speechesof Blaine, Logshiifanil Dawes in the Senate and of 3“views Of Michigan, yesterday in the v House. The opening of Senator Blaine was .a fierce assault upon-the enemies citadel, but not exhaustive of that senator’s argument as he is expected to close the debate for the Republican side and will bequite sure to stir up the pure minds of the democracy. very actively again by way of remembrance. Senator Zack Chandler, will also have a few ‘ brief, but forcible words as is his wont, to utter. next week, on the army bill rider and the attitude of the democracy. The speech of Mr. Burrows yesterday, in logical force and patriotic eloquence, was truly grand, and. at the conclusion, the galleries broke out, as if by acommon impulse, in uncon- ttollable applause. _ By far the most eloquent and plausible speech from the opposition side, Was that delivered by Senator Vorhces. It was a strong and vigorous statemen’of‘ the demo— cratic view of the questions at issue. The Wabash orator was dignified and corteous. throughout, and his speech was delivered with that pe naive and fascinating method and masher of which he is a so justly noted master. Mr. Beck of Ky., lost his temper in his colloquy with Senator Hoar and notionly sacrificed his senatorial dignity, but greatly 'wea‘..cned-the force and efiec- tiveness of his argument. It is expected that nearly or quite all of the coming week will be consumed by Senators in further dis- cussion of the Bill. As this whole extra session scheme was clearly inaugurated in the interest of the democratic purpose to seize upon the Presidency in 1880, it be— comes a very interesting question as to which side the partizan advantages lie and here there is but one opinion. The democrats themselves feel and admit, that thus far, they have greatly lost ground; They know and have been made to feel the re-awakening of the oldpatriotic fires of 1861, throughout the East, North and West and would to-day, gladly retrace their steps if they could. Their state o'f’feeling is "aptly illustrated by. a little incident narrated by the wife of a member of the House, who overheard the conversation on her way to the Capitol, be- tween a northern and southern senator, riding in'the same car and sitting near her. Said the southern senator to the other:— "Well, how d6 you think we stand, on the Army Bill tussle up to date a" '“I think”, rejoined the other, “that we stand a good deal as the twodrunken fellows did, holding fast to the lamp post on opposite sides of the street. One cried out, hallo‘a-there'Jim, (hie) come o-ver (bio) and help me hold up this ’l'lamp post.”4-“Got all I can do (hie) to h‘hold my own up, (hic)l" Then both senators joined in a hearty laugh at the very correct portrayal of their present partizan position. If Senator Barnum didn't say the extra session and threats of southern demo- crats to starve the government had cost the democracy a million votes, it is not because they all do not well know and fear it to be true. The intelligence, thevirtue, and the property of . the nation, will not see this proud fabric of states destroyed "by a set of mad partizans in a mean, selfish and brutal struggle for the spoils of ofiice‘. The same loyal North that sacrificed so much of blood and treasure, will not permit adestruc- tion of the Government, ,by revolutionary Legislation ’any morethan it would, when assailed by fire and sword.

SENATE lrrorrvrzns. Quite a ripple of excitement has been caused by the democratic attempt to dodge the rule of the Senate requiring the consent of the Vice President before any employee can be removed. On Vice President Whee- ler being called away by the dangerous illness of anear relative, it was at first supposed that the consent of Senator Thurman, elected president pro~tem in his place, would be all ’ that was necessary in order to shove out the old employees, but whether Mr. Thurman had no , stomach for such a use of his accl- dental ofiicial powers, or whether the party doubted his right to so act, is not definitely known, but it was determined by them to repeal the Senate law as the easiest way out of the embarrassment, so the attempt was vigorously made, but thus far it has not succeeded, though in the end it will no doubt be wiped out, as will all hindrances to their full enjoyment of the spoils of ofiice. The pressure upon each. democratic Senator is really appalling, and as much as we may dcprecatc the removal of old, experienced and well tried officers, our opponents are really borne oil their feet by the coersive power of this pressure from the rear. Our Senator Eaton has steadily opposed a general slaughter, but little or no heed has been or could, for the reasons stated, he paid to his wiser counsels. commcm's SHARE. Our State hasnot had a very liberal share of patronage allotted her in the new Senate deal, and yet, as it is the only New England State that gets anything at all, we, perhaps, . should not complain, as others,who have. had no pap at all. It is stated that our popular err-Consul to Havre and ex-Secretary of State Morris, of Bridgeport, greatly desired the position of Secretary of the Senate upon retiring from his official station at Hartford, but as ex-Maycr Chapman, of Hartford, also desired to be Sergeant-at-Arms, and both could not hope to win, it was agreed that Morris should withdraw to give Chapman a chance, but before doing so, he exacteda pledge that his chief clerk in the Connecti- cut Secretary’s cfilce, Pat. F. Butler, should be provided for, and in Confirmation of this agreement Mr. Butler has received one of the most desirable appointments under the new Secretary of the Senate, that of 2d Asst. Executive Clerk, at an annual salary of $2,250, and with duties only requiring him to remain here during the actual sessions of the Senate. Had Chapman given way and our friend Dwight Morris been permitted to have exerted his persuasive blandishments in a race for the Senate Secretaryship,he would have stood a much better chance of success, foras it turned out, Chapman could, only by the utmost exertion, muster but four votes. But what was Morris’s loss has proved to he Butler’s gain. ‘The next place secured for Connecticut is a doorkeepers or messengers position at $1,200 a year, to which the Hon. ,John W. Lake, err-County Commissioner for New Haven County, has been appointed. This is the total of our State's credit, and none others need apply. Mr. Brown, the democratic town committeeman .of Fairfield, who for two’ years had been promised a place. witha host of other home patriots. are thus left out in the cold. Mr. Brown is still here, as is the son of the late BiahOp Brownell, and their disappointment is deep and despairing. ‘ ' AT uouss: nun. We get a sort of brevct representation at the House end today, in the appointment of Hon. Joint Chamberlain, the noted gambler, as keeper of their restaurant. The Hon. ' John, we believe,- divides his time between New York and Bridgeport when not engross- ed in his pressing professional and political duties here and elsewhere. ‘ mrsn's FERRY.

It is stated on good authority that ex-Con- grcssman Rainey, of. South Carolina, has re. considered his declination of the appointment: tendered him as assistant appointment clerk of the Treasury, and will accept the ofilce.. Congressman Rainey was recommended by- nearly all the Republican members of the 45th Congress for a consular position. It was supposed about Congress that Secretary Sherman would tender“ him the 3d Auditor- ship just vacated by Gov. Austin. of Minn. Mr. Rainey, it will be remembered,has taken up his family residence in Connecticut. ransoxars. Hon. Sam Fessenden, Judge Colwell, Col. Joe. Seldcn, Charles E. Gross, Jno E. Searies, Jr., and John R.

The house was well filled, and the exercises interesting. Rev. S. B. S. Bissell, President. Rev. E. D. Bentley read portions of scripture and Rev. C. S. Wing, the new pastor of the 2d M. E. church, offered prayer. An address of welcome by the pastor of the church, and remarks by the President followed. The Annual Reports of Secretary and Treasurer we‘re read,~after which Pastors Wing and Hamilton addressed the meeting. A resolution was passed amending the Constitution so as to make the Society auxiliary to the Con. Bible Society instead of the'American Bible Society. The Treasurer's Report showed a balance of» $120.40 in the treasury. The following ofil- cers were elected for the ensuing year :— President, Rev. S. B. S. Bissell ; Vice President, Dr. MOses Hill; Secretary, J. L. Ambler; Treasurer, Selleck Youngs; Depos- itary, Andrew Selleck. ' - ' The following gentlemen were elected, who with the pastors of the churches and the ofiicersvof the Society c rise the Standing Committee :-—1st Ba church, C. S. Prowitt, Dr. G. S. Comstock; 1st Congrega— tional church, H. R. Selleck. J. R. Marvin ; 2d M. E. church, J. F. Ruscoe, J. Green- wood; Darien Cong. Thaddeus Hoyt, W. C. Crew; Westport Cong. Deacon E. W. Tay. lor, Wm. Burr; .Wilton Cong. Deacon B. Gilbert, Frederick D. Benedict ; Westport M. E. Josiah Raymond. The .Farmer is a good deal exercised about Representative MILES, just now. But then, it should be indulged.’ For more than two years it has been boiling with pent up indignation over the mal-representation in Congress of our District, and this is the first opportunity. it could safely let fly its heels. No one can wonder that it takes any method to get its needed relief. ‘ ~ m The Steamboat. _ The steamboat managers made ‘special ex- ertions to get ' the Amer-lens ready for Thursday, and succeeded in getting her started. The boat came up in the storm and made her regular trips regardless of, weather during the week. The boat is said to be in thoroughly ' good condition, and capable of making regular time easily. As 'We stated :Ioov "who“ or also our nut! pvpulln' Ieutulca are retained. Mr. Ackert and his attend- ants care for the “inner wants” of the patrons, as heretofore. The propeller City of Norwalk came up last Tuesday and is now making regular trips. The City looks like an entirely new boat, having been extensively overhauled, enlarged and greatly improved. The old city-subscriber intimates to _us that many of his neighbors think it a very strange thing for .the “servants of the peo- ple," on the plea of “economy,” to turn the public off with kerosene in the street lamps while they continue to enact laws for the people in their brilliantly illuminated Council chamber, and also permit the use of gas for all the fire department rooms. The point seems to be well taken. w The Library Committee are anxious to add .to their collection some of the English classics without .spending their money for them. Owners of these or any good- book for a .li— hrary can loan them subject to their order, and reserve the privilegeof taking them back at any time. Drop a postal card to either Rev. Mr. Hamilton, President, or Miss C. E. Raymond, Miss Anna M. Smith, Mr. George B. St. thn, or Mr. Seymour, and one of the committee will call on you. Almos ery- body can put one or two books into this col- lection that will add to its value. . Several have already done so. At the annual meeting of St. Paul’s society, on Easter Monday, the following oflicers were elected. Wardens. Joseph W. Hubbell, Jonathan Camp; Assistant War— dens, Allen Betts, James Finncy; Vestry- men, Josiah Kellogg, Edward K. Lockwood, Samuel E. Olmstead, Alfred Jackson, Chas. F. Osborn. James W. Pinkney, George Ward Selleck. On Monday the pews were sold for the ensuing year. . The Medical Society. The annual meeting of the County Med- ical Society was held at South Norwalk, at the city Hotel, on Tuesday. last. The attendance was large. Officers were elected as follows :—P_rm°dent, Dr. Bronson; Se- cretary, Dr. Burke of Norwalk; Standing Committee, Doctors Barbour of Norwalk, Lowis and Youngs of Bridgepor; Board of Camera, Doctors, Lockwood of Norwalk, Bill and Cummings of Bridgeport; Felknos of the State Society, Doctors Wile of Sandy Hook, Bill and Ward of Bridgeport, Burke of Norwalk and Bohanan of Darien; Del- egates to the American Medical (Society, Doctors Lauderand Lewis of Bridgeport, .Gieb of Stamford, Gregory of Norwalk, and Bennett of Dmbury. veral newymem- here were admitted. ~Th case of Doctor M. B.Pardeé came up and was fully discussed. LMuch new testimony was introduced, and the old charge of consulting his wife was made secondary. By a nearly unanimous vote he was found guilty of “consulting with several homecpaths,with unprofessional conduct, discourteous remarks, and false allegatiOhs regarding other physicians in sev- eral instances.” and in accordance with the rules of the National Assbciation, a vote of expulsion was passed. It now goes to the State Society for final action; This vote has nothing to do with the Doctor’s ‘ ability as a physician, as we understand it, but is simply a punishment for persistently,—as it is claim- ed.-—disobeying the laws of the Societies he had agreed .to sustain. After the transaction of business was concluded. a fine dinner was served by Landlord Bartlett. =——_—._— There ‘was'another great six day walking match in New York last week, 'and'now there is another f‘champion.” and his name is Panchot. Fortypedestrians “started in the race Monday, and ten were on the track Sat- urday. Merritt, a Bridgeport man, was se- cond and tried hard to catch up to Panchot but-failed, scoring a little over 475 miles to the latter 480 miles, both thus beating Ennis. Panchot is said to have secured $1,000 and Merritt $750. The attendance was large. The Town Meeting. _ The meeting on Tuesday afternoon lut, was fairly but not largely attended. Mr. Charles Olmstead was chosen moderator- The first business was the question of em- powering th d of School Visitors to hire teachers. _r. John S. Seymour offered a resolution to that effect, adding the clause “after consultation with the committees." It was very evident that a ' large majority present had already made up their minds to vote against the measure, but we are very glad to state for the honor of our town, that the majority permitted the minority to fairly state and discuss the question, and we hope their example will always be followed in the future. Upon the presentation of the reso- lution, Mr. A. S. Gibson asked for a state- ment of the present conditibn of afiEairs and the benefits to be derived from the adoption of the new plan. Lawyer J. W. Wilson, of the Board, was called upon, and presented the case fairly and clearly. He was followed 'by Mr.,John Ferris, of South Norwalk, who spoke earnestly against the “innovation.” Mr. W. H. Benedict, city, moved an amend- ment designed to kill the resolution. Lawyer Seymour, formerly principal of the Center School, then made a' forcible speech in favor of the resolution. Rey. Mr. Hamilton, of the School Board, then took the floor with evident reluctance and advocated the passage of the resolution with great earnestness and power. Seldom has such eloquence been heard in the discussion of Town affairs, and certainly no such speech has been made in our Town House since the days of the lamented Ferry. He was followed by Messrs. J. W. Pinkney C. Swartz,Stephen Olmstead, and John A. Honnecker in opposition, Mr. Knudson made a few remarks in favor of good schools, and Mr. LeCount corrected a statement in regard to the cost of running 'our schools. A vote was then taken and the resolution declared lost. It was doubted and a standing vote showed 95 against the resolu- tion to 22 in favor. The crowd then left, leaving but a few to complete the business. The claim of the Cranberry Plain district,an outgrowth of our present school system was voted down. It was then voted to remove sign post to a place near . the Second , M. E. Church and the meeting adjOurned. 3:222: PERSONAL. ' Rev. Dr. Thos. S. Childs was in town last week.

His place was well filled in his absence by Mrs. Fitch. , Mrs. and Miss Leonard have left Colo- rado Springs. homeward bound, but will make several stops On the way and will probably not arrive here until the season is well advanced. It gives us much pleasure to state that Miss Ells, teacher in the Over River district school is gradually recovering from her late severe sickness and proposes to leave here to-day for her home in the pleasant village of Walton, New York. We wish her a safe journey, and a speedy recovery of health and strength. » Mrs. Geo. S. Benedict, of this place, has so far recovered as to be able to return home from the hospital in New York, where a dan- gerous operation was recently performed on her. She was under the care of Dr. N. A. MOsmau, and speaks in high terms of the care and attention she received from the Dcc~ tor and his estimable wife. . o Only a Farmer’s Daughter. This piece, played on Thursday evening last, at the Opera House, under the manage- ment of the veteran J. C. Myers, was one of the best and most thrilling dramas produced here in a long while, and the acting as a whole, was as good as any that ever graced the Opera House stage. It was unfortunate for the company that the evening was so stormy, for they really deserved a full house, and (we think they will get one whenever they play here again. =3;- A man was recently arrested in Bridgeport, for breaking in the plate glass window of a store on Water street, with a stone, and fined $50 and costs, bound over on a charge of at— tempted burglary.

A glance at the announcement ‘of this exhibition, which is to spread its wilderness -of canvass in this tOwn, on Tuesday, April 29th, will convince the most skeptical that it offers a greater variety of interesting and attractive novelties than any other show on the road. In fact there seems to be no end to the refreshing variety of its enter- tainments and its bills read like a tale of the “Arabian. Nights." Mr. Coup has not contented himself with exhibiting a circus and menagerie only, for he says that every canvass show has these. But while others make these their main and in fact their only atmtion’ 11 has mlootod the heat oil-ou- company in imeriea with the great James Melville at its head, and a menagerie of ani- mals only that are rare and seldom exhibited, and made these a mere nucleons only for the numerous other features. For instance, he gxhibits what has never before been attempt- ed, a traveling Oceanic and Inland Aquarium in which beautiful specimens of marine and fresh water fish, and curious water reptiles are displayed in splended slate and chrystal tanks. the‘ water in which is aerated and kept in motion by means of powerful appa- ratus. Mr. Coup is the ori inator and late owner of the celebrated New ork Aquarium, and has spent both time and fortune in Berfecting this enterprise. The troupe of roncho orses are the same that created so decided a sensation throughout New England, last season, and excited much favorable com- ment from both press and public. They are beyond all dispute the best performing horses in the world. Another special and exclusive attraction is the gigantic Devil Fish,described so vividly by Victor “Hugo, in his “Toilers of the Sea.” The Japanese circus will be a novelty to everybody. as it is, the first and only. circus that ever left the Japanese Empire. Fryer's Ponies and Dogs - are described as performing tricks that borders on the miraculous. Among other novel feats is that of a pony riding a regular equestrian act on the backs of two others. Five beauti- ful dogs constitute themselves a court and jury, try an unfortunate'cur who has been accused of stealing a dog collar; they sen- tence and finally hang him in presence of the audience.

A Clear Inference. 1t is top true that most of the atented medical preparations thrown on the mar et emanate from men who can in no just claim to aprofessional educationnnd w_ o are. consequently totally on. qualified to originate areally valua le prepara- tion. But we lave the pleasure of stating that we know of one once tron at least to this rule. We refer to .Dr. Kenn y. of Bondout, N. Y., the discoverer and proprietor of the popular medi- cine entitled the Favorite Remedy. He is not a stranger in this region of country. but a regular and favorably known physician and surgeon of Bondont, where he has practiced his profession lor eight years with a degree of success which has surprised not only the general community, but also other members of the medical fraternity. Dr, Kennedy is s graduate of the College of Phy- sicians and urgeons of the city of New York,and was for three years a surgeon in the United States armyduring our late war. He has also been a member for several years of the Ulster County Medical Society. As asurgeon he has no superi- or rn the State—being slngularly bold, skillful and nnprecedently successful in his operations. In it not a fair inference, we ask, that when a sur- geon, who has Operated in so many vital cases and never lost one of them. assures the eople that the Favorite Remedy purifies the lood, thereby curing Seofula and all Scrol'ulous Afi'ec- tions._ Billions Disorders. Kidney Complaints, Constipation of the Bowcls, as well as all the large class of ills peculiar to women-that they simply take him_ at his word and are cured ac- cording to promise ? In fact the Doctor himself does not hesitate to admit that part of his success in surgery is due to the use of the Favorite Rem- edy in the alter treatment of the patient, which prevented the return of the abnormal formations removed by the knife by giving tone and strength to the system of his patients -whlch had become debilitated andweakened by disease. In conclusion we hope that no one who may be suffering from any of the diseases for which the l‘nvn-ia- m..-«r, in roocuarnondod w'l hesitant: rs moment to secure a bottle and test the truth of what we herein allege.
