At Washington.
The Senate has concluded a memorable
debate 0n ‘thc.';Army Billrandpassed the

awaitingiliis Sippi-oval‘or veto. The -_House
has passed the Legislative Bill and that is
‘ 'now ready to be taken up in the Senate for
furthcr debgte and final vote. The general.
Conjecture is that Mr. Hayes will veto both
these appropriation measures, with the re—
pealing of the election safeguards, attached.
If he does, the democracy will be forced to
a square back-down or to a vote continuing
last years appropriations. in lamp, for six,
months. That ‘ will permit'the government
to go on and the democracy to get down.
4 from their high-horse, in ghod order.
This
latter mode seems the only way 0981110
them short. of incipient revolution or arc-
. diculous flunk-out. If the latter course is
adopted congress can adjourn this needless
and wasteful extravagance of an extra ses-
sion, within ten days, if it chooses and by so
doing rejoice the hearts of all scnsibic and,
loyal people.
During all the forensic struggle, the grand- ~
est and most unanswerable argument was
that delivered by Senator Canning last week.
He was complimented by the august pres—
ence of Cabinet and Foreign Ministers, the
General of the rmy and over a hundred
members of th e, who rushed over to
the Senate to listen to the truly great son of
the great State of New York. He showed
most conclusively that the section of the
Union that sought its destruction and now
pays a mere 1:. .iety of the enormous taxa-
tions caused by their rebellion, is the ones
now seeking a despotic and revolutionary
control of the entire nation. The speech of
Mr. Conkling in the Senate and of Mr. Fryc:
in the House, it is safe to say are of that
class that will not be answered. Concerning .
Mr. Conkling’s speech the Tribune pertinent-
ly remarks :—
“It was especially appropriate to show
that the object of this attempted dictation
was to push still further the unnatural and
excessive mastery of that section, through;
party caucus, over the Government which so
recently the men of that section tried to
destroy.
sentatives _
majority in a Democratic caucus,
from Southern States form a
and the
Democratic party blandly obeys the dictates‘
of a caucus and controls a majority in both
houses of Congress, so long a minority of'thc
people of the United States will _rule the
majority. The aim of the legislation pro-
Conkling clearly showed, is
to enable that minority t0 intrench itself in
power by the aid of corruption and fraud.
Resistance . . _ _ _ ..
not only frompartisan motives, but it Is the
rightfu assertion by the majority of the
people of their desire to retain aproper
share in the goverment of the country.
It is said that the President has completed
his veto of the Army bill and will send it to
the House to day. One of the strong points
made in it is reported to be that the political
section of the bill is in conflict with the con-
stitutional powers of the President. The dem-
ocrats are already questioning as to the course
whichthey will pursue, but it is not likely
that they will decide upon their next step
until after the legislative bill is disposed of in
the Senate.

Tnfisiectron of 1844.
The Democrat makes a most unfortunate
allusion to the presidential election of 1844,
when Henry Clay was cheated out of his
election by the most notorious and unblushing
fraud in Lousiana ever recorded in the annals
of any state or nation. This is so notorious
and universally admitted a fact . that we
should have thought our neighbor would
have hesitated to call attention thereto.

company will adjourn to Lockwood’s Hall,

Appointment of Commissioners.
Governor Andrews has appointed the fol-
lowing commissioners:

the Oyster Laws—Robert Coit .of New Lon-
don, Henry B. Graves of Litchfield, and
Charles W. Bell of Norwalk. ,
On Prison Labor—Lucius P. Deming of
East Haven. Washington F. Wilcox of Ches-
,tcr, Edmund Tweedy of Danbury, Jeremiah
Tierney of Norwalk and Merrick A. Marcy
of Union. _
Mr. Coit is an experienced business man,
Mr. Graves an able lawyer, and Mr. Bella
practical oysterman and president of_ the
Oyster Dealers’ association. In the prison
labor comm' ion the governor has armed to
the interests involved. Mr.
Deming is a lawyer, Mr. Vt'ilcox state at-
torney for Middlesex county, Mr. Tweedy
a large manufacturer, Mr. Tierney an ar-
tisan and workingman, and Mr. Marcy a
contractor for prison labor..—~N. 11 Pal~
ladt'um.
The Governor seems to have been actuated
by a desire to have this, important matter
fairly examined and discussed, in making
selections for this committee. He gives all
sides a chance.
is Secretary of the National Hat Finishers
Trade Association, and has given this sub-
ject much thought. Ills appointment will
givemuch satisfaction to the trade, and the
Hatting interest will be well represented
by him. The appointment was unsolicited
and unexpected and is therefore an honor
to be appreciated.
M
The Carpenters and Masons.
Our builders are unusually busy. It is
next to impossible to get a carpenter ‘ or
mason now, so full of work are they. In
other matters of our every day life, indus-
tries, our laborers again seem to be em-
ployed at fair wages and with work and
bind for all, thereis abundant cause for
rejoicing.

Golden Wedding.
The venerable Mr. and Mrs. Gideon Leeds
reached the fiftieth anniversary of their
marriage, on Saturday. In the beginning of
the present century Mr. Leeds was a promi—
nent woolen manufacturer on the Norwalk
river above Winnipauk, but adversity follow-
ed upon youthful enterprise and success, and
now in his old age he has little left beside
what comes of the sympathies of generous
friends.

New Barn.
John Honnecker is completing a new barn
in rear of his bakery. Its north front is of
the wooden tinder-box, character so popu-
lar just now about the Borough, while its
south front is of brick encased in a wooden
frame work. It will be a commodious
stable but as a work of architectural art, it
is about as badily mixed up as our friend
John’s democracy.

Mr. Doolittle, managerof the Bell District

Saturday, looking after affairs in connection
with the starting of a company here. He
states that the names of subscribers recently
. obtained here for this purpose have been sold
tothe Western Union Telegraph Company
for a “liberal consideration,” and Without
consultation with said subscribers. He has
connected Bridgeport, Derby, New Haven,
&c,, and desires to add Stamford and Not-
walk. If he succeeds in carrying out his
plans a local company will be formed.

‘ anyone who chanced to pass throughthe
street": of our Borough on Saturday evening
last, and saw the crowds wending their way
of supplies of all kinds, could. longer doubt
that there is a genuine revival of trade in thi?
vicinity. That there is a more hopeful out—
look for the future than for many years past.
Fortunes may not be as quickly acquired as
formerly, but they will not be as suddenly
lost, and when once wor, they will remain
with the diligent possessor. ‘ Courage, hope,
industry and‘a wise economy are the needs
of the times, and with the exercise of these
qualities an enduring prosperity will be
inaugurated.

' ’
Horse RailWai’-
Supt. Hyatt's gang of track repairers have
at last reached the Bridge, after a thorough
and exhaustive campaign along the lower end
of the line. This invaluable convenience
will never reach the public requirements,
however, until the three present switches are
continued into a double track from the 1st to
the 2d M. E. Churches, so that the cars can
remain at the South Norwalk depot to take
up passengers from every incoming train not
more than five minutes behind. The skill
' with which these cars are frequently made to
dodge around Ely’s corner just as a belated
train makes the depot, and a rushing mob of
men, women and children run, and are pulled
after their vanishing shadows, could~be ac—
complished with the present proverbial stuc—
ccss only by reason of the long years spent
in what, oftentimes appears to be a most
earnest effort to eludcpassengers. Join up
your switches and thus make, practically, a
double track, and the public 'will applaud
your increased ability to accommodate its
needs.
We wish that a certain class of people Who

*is bound in full Russia, and contains over a

Mr. Raymond has had long experience in the
business in this place, and Mr. Nickerson has
been well known in another trade. They
have a good stand, plenty of pluck, and
mean to succeed.
MeseruI. A. Meeker & 00., pulled up

Several of our merchants during the last
week have given evidence of a revival of

The reason it always comes so natural for
Banks Morchouse to furnish his patrons not

It was the writer’s good fortune to visit

its clowns. None will regret it who visit

The New Library.
The Norwalk Library is a corporation
capable of suing and being sued. It has
funds, about two hunredbobks, and before
the week, is out will have added about a
hundred new volumes. to its collection. * It
will make a beginning, in the way of loaning
books. to its members aboutthe 10th of May.
It makes no boasts and no extravagant prom- ,
ises, but, its members will be sure of a choice
from at least thrce'hundred volumes, most
of them recent publications. The committee.
are anxious to add standard works of the
olden English classics, without the expendi-
ture of the funds of the corporation. They
know that the materialvfor a large and useful
collection of books exists in town and would
be glad to avail themselves of it. Their
plan is to receive loans of books subject to
the order of the owner. The Secretary will
give a receipt for such loans specifying the
titles and the numberxof volumes, and these
books are put in circulation on the same
terms and in the same way as the books
actually owned by the corporation. At the
same time .‘ the owners can withdraw
them at' any time, and will thus have a
guarantee that their property will be well
taken care of. If at any time the owner of
any such book saw it was receiving rough
. treatment, he could. take the book back.
The collection has already been increased by
much valuable matter in this way; Mr.
Gibson loans his International Scientific
series of twenty-four handsome volumes, and
possibly'the Encyclopoedia Britannica; Mr.
F. T. Betts puts-in forty-five volumes in—
cluding Humes, Smollets, Dwiglits, and
Rollins Works; and Dr. Gregory, Cooper’s
novels, others have done similarly. The
committee make this; a personal appeal to all
judicious buyers of books to help on this
movement. Let any one of them know that
you will lend your books, and you will be
called on at. once. And if the books you
can spare, are such as will be of real value
b’dwlil‘fi‘ Ti‘li‘énd'drrnliifiled"'Illelil3 ‘Hdt’h‘li‘l'ie?
ever, in the discharge of their duty to reserve
the right to reject any book offered, that is
of no merit, or that would only encumber
the shelves. Every reasonable precaution
will be taken to have books carefully han-
dled, and the owners of handsome editions
and fine bindings may feel sure that their
loans will come back to them in as good
and tear only excepted.
The following works especially are needed.
Shakespeare, the Waverly Novels, Dickens,
Thackeray, George Elliot, Cooper, Charles
Reade, McDonald, Miss Mulock, Mrs. Alex-
ander, Anthony Trollope. Any of the works
of Prescott, Macanlev, Froujle,’ Freeman,
Wordsworth, Bryant and snob volumes as
are not .now in the collection, of the works
of Bacon,Carlysle, DeQuincy, Ruskin, Coler-
idge, Emerson, Addison, Swift, Lamb, and
Hawthorn, and any,recent scientific works.
Recent purchases comprise over fifty
books of standard or recent fiction, about
thirty volumes of juvenile literature, twenty
volumes of historical matter, fresh books of
travel, and several volumes of poetry.
,By the first of July there is a reasonable
prospect of having a thousand yolumes, not
of trash, but of fresh or standard literature.
The authors named are enough to show the
stuff of which the .collection is made up,
and yet no one from the ten year old up can
say it is-not full of interest and entertain-
ment. Two dollars secures the right to
draw a book twice a week fora year, and
twenty—five dollars secures the same privilege
for life. -
The Waterbury American gives a thrilling'
account of the heroic manner in which Miss
Kemble saved the' life of a child at the immi-
nent _ risk of losing her own, in that city.
Miss Kemble is a member of Myers’ compa-
ny which recently played “Only a Farmer’s
Daughter” here, and played the part of
“Molly McCann.” Miss Bidwell, Miss Kem-
ble, and others were returning from a long
. walk, and were caught on the railroad track
in a_ cut, as a train came rumbling along.
The party scattered and scrambled up the
banks on either side as best they 'could to
save themselves. A little child belonging to
one of the party, finding himself on the op~
the track and becoming frightenedstood still
with the train thundering down upon him.
Certain death seemed staring him in the face,
and a thrill of horror ran through the compa-
ny who seemed powerless to help him. Eloise
Kemble by chance was standing a few feet
from the child. She gave one look at the
the train dashing along and her mind was
made up. With one hound she cleared the
hill and jumped upon the track, seized the
child in her arms and leaped aside. pressing
.the child and herself close against the hill,

Although the court has adjourned and
the verdict to expel Dr. Pardee has been
given, the discussion on the merits of the
case still continue. It seems to exercise the
minds of outsiders who have no particular
interest in the matter, far more than it does
the doctors. Many condemn the dignified
language used towards Dr. Emily Pardee
and her “Pi-baula horse” but admit that it
showed the “animus"-of the liberal minded
physician who uttered it. ‘ It is rumored
that another case may be presented to the
association, against one prominent in the
Prosecution of Dr. Pardcc, the charge
being procuring medicine and not paying
for it. .
There have been quite a number of new
cottages built in the city during six months
PM. most of them are rented. Captain

ready for occupancy until after the first of
May. ’
We have had about a month's experi-
ment with the new style of light: With
which to see the darkness. 0n the score
of economy in the expense, the success has
been great, only, that the extra quantity of
matches used to find the way to the lamp’
pos‘ , and in lighting the lamps cost about as
much as the oil.
A remarkable exhibition of lecture was
given at the Union School building on Fri-
day afternoon. A Professor attempted, and
did very successfully read the characters
of many of the pupils, after inspecting their
heads, hair and countenances. ,
The result of the Town meeting is gener-
ally commended by our residents, and the
fact that the result was greatly due to_.the
efforts and powerful addresses of our young
and growing statesman is conceded. You
should be magnanimolis and also admit it.
Judging from the appearance of many
copies of our “local journal", we are led to
suppose that something was the matter and
not sufficient .news to cover both sides of '
the paper. It may all be accounted for,
when we look at the date April 30, and
find that it is next weeks paper. .
Our mayor has taken a little responsibility
in placing an extra patrolman upon the
police force at night. The Councilmen elec-
ted only two policemem, and by this act
compelled his Honor to fall back upon the
provision of the charter which gives him
authority to appoint “Special police” .who
shall have larger authority than those .ap-
pointed by the Council. His Honor, how—
ever, declines to have anything to do with
prisoners arrested by the Police and placed
in the lock-up, claiming that then it. is a
“Town” matter and not “City.". It is remar-
kable how many ways the charter ordinances
can be interpreted.

. Obituary.
In the death of Mrs. Jane E. lenses, which
occurred yesterday morning, the worthy
poor of this city have suffered an irrepara-
ble loss. For years she devoted herself with
'a singleness of purpose to deeds of charity
and of the manner in which she accomplish-
cd- her self-imposed task the needy speak
in no uncertaiq tones. She was the wife
of the late Isaac 8. Issues, a forwarding
merchant in this city for many years, and
the only daughter of the late Samuel Hawley
who for years was postmaster here.
came to this city many years ago, while
in her childhood, with her parents, who
removed from Kinderrhook, Columbiacoun-
ty. She was related to the Van Buren
family, and between President Van Buren
and her family there existed a band of more
than ordinary friendship. Her deeds of
charity will live green in the memory of
scores of our people. who were the recipients
of her unostentatious gifts. She was early
enlisted in the care of orphans, and for,
years, even to the time of her death, was
a directress of the orphan asylum. She was
one of the prime movers in founding the
“Home of the Homeless,” was elected a
directress, and while her health remained
took an active part in all that tended to
promote the comforts of the old ladies.
She was a member of Christ church, and
entered with a true christian spirit into
everything that promised prosperity to the
.. ‘ I. a JA-AL ...-_.-_._- -n x --_-_ -._.-_
of'Hon. Alvin Bronson, her home for several
years. The funeral will take place at
Christ church to-morrow (Sunday) afternoon
at 3:3OL—Osrcegc Herald, April 19.
I. S. Isaacs the husbandof the above named
lady, was a son of Judge Benjamin Issues
of this place who lived many years at
the old homestead adjoining the National
Bank of Norwalk, now occupied by Mr.
Joseph I. Lynes.
The managers of the American Bible
Society announce a change of policy by
which, instead of relying upon auxiliary
societies alone to effect a sale of their pub—.
licat'ions, they design to secure a wider cir-
culation of their books though the channels
of trade. As the Society does not seek profit
they offer their books at marvelously low
prices. They send us a specimen Bible
which they offer at only 25 cents, and a
Testament at 5 cents, which are handsomely
printed and bound,—the binding alone being
worth more at ‘wholcsale prices. At such
rates there never need be any lack of Bibles
in the land.
Samuel 0. Hoyt, a printer recently from
Connecticut, is missing, and it is believed he
has been murdered. A mysterious postal
card signed “Coroner,” has been received by
his employer, saying that his remains were
in said coroner's possession,but no name was
given. None of the regular coroners know
of such a case—New York Papers. '
Don’t worry about Hoyt. He will never
die early.

On Wednesday last, at the Norwalk Mills,

the heading of the article, “Homeopath and

From the Rondout “Freeman.”
A Clear Inference.
It is too true that most of the atented medical
preparations thrown on the mar ct emanate from
men who can lay no Just claim to a professional
cducatron,and w_ o are. consequent! , totally nn.
qualified to originate in really valuable prepara-
tion. But we have the pleasure of stating that
we know of one, exception at least to this rule.
We refer to Dr. hennedy, of Rondout, .N. Y., the
discoverer and proprietor of the pepular medi-
crne entitled the Favorite Remedy. He is not a
stranger in this region of country. but a regular
and favorably known physician and surgeon of
Rondout, where he has practiced his profession
for 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 a graduate 01' the College of Phy-
sicians and Surgeons of the city of New York, and
was .t‘or three years a surgeon In the United States
army during our late war. He has also been a
member for several years of the Ulster County
Medical Society. As a surgeon he has no superi-
or in the State—being singularly bold, skillful and
unprecedentiy 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 people
that the Favorite Remedy purifies the blood,
thereby curing Scofula and all Scrot‘ulous All'cc-
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 givmg tone and strength
to the system of his patients —which had become
debilitated andweakencd by disease. '
In conclusion we hope that no one who may be
suffering from any of the diseases for which the
Favorite Remedy is recommended will hesitate a
moment to secure a bottle and test the truth of
what we herein allege. We are willing to pledge
our veracity for it that none will be disappointed
or deceived.
