Two Florida Democrats, one a clerk, the
other an inspector of eleCtions, after a three
days trial have been convicted of taking out
100 votes'cast' for Blsbee, republican, and
substituting 103 votes for Hull, democratic.
Yet Hull hasbeen admitted to a seat m
Congress by this very honorable body, new
in session, ,‘notwithstanding the very great
probability there is of he, himself receiving
a sentenée to the penitentiary for fraud.
Zach Chandler does not lose one bit of
his stalwartism. He on Friday, denounced
the course of the demoCracy in the present
Congress in the very strongest manner, de-
fying them to begin the unseatin‘g of sen-

his side that at least 12 democratic senators
had poorer titles to their seats than Kellogg
of Louisiana, whom they propowd tounseat
and that they .held their seats through fraud
and violence. Senator Eaton called him to
order, but got w Irated in the melee, Chand-
ler being ruled in order by the chairman.

old friends and chilbood scenes. Glad to see
him.
Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Belden have re-

-It is reported that Mrs. Legrand Lock-
wood and her daughter Florence are now

The Stamford Herald publishes a letter
purporting to be from a hotel keeper in
San Francisco, to one of the Scofield's in
Stamford, saying that a lodger named See
field had died there and left gold watch,
ring, baggage, etc., which the honest boni-
face would immefitely forward to party
addressed at Stamford, on receipt of $30 to
pay indebtedness of deceased, etc. This is
an old and oft exposed trick, yet according
to Herald friend Ed., seems likely to be hit
by it, as he most certainly will be if he
sends the $30 asked for by the landlord.
P. S.—The same kind of a letter, nearly
word for word, with exception 0f the name
we are informed, was received here by one.

The story that our old friend Cashier

Correspondence of the Gazette.
wAsamaroN, D. 0., Mayflth, 1879.
The main topic of conversation during the
week has been ‘upon' 'the probable action of
the President when the bill popularly de-
nominated the7 Eaton—Ladd—Bourbon~Bill
shall reach him. Republicans differ not
only upon the points but upon the question
of advisability. It would be a source of
gratification to many leading republicans in
both houses, if the President should sign it,
it being held by them that while there is no
particular necessity for its passage, as the
laws already on thestatute book cover amply
what is desired by it, there is nothing in
the bill that trenches upon the constitutional
rights of the Executive, or in any _way en-
dougeruhe enforcement by the civd arm of
the election laws. As the measure is a
political one, originating in the secret coun—
oils of the democratic party, ' it was both
politic and wise for the Republican party to
solidly oppose it in Congress. It would,
however, bring the President out of line I
with his party if he should sign the bill. It
is veYy certain that he will veto the measure
undertaking-to repeal the present statute for
protecting the freedom of elections, whether
they be sent to him as riders to the appropri-
ation bills or in separate bills. There need
be no fear upon that score. The future plans
of the democratic party is understood to be
as follows: If the President signs the Ladd-
Eaton bill, then to pass the “army appropria-
tion bill pure and simple. Of course he will
sign that. _
2. Pass the legislative bill with its politics
riders. If he veto thin, as he will do, then
3. Pass a separate bill repealing the test
qualification for jurors. “
4. Pass a separate bill repealing the laws
in relation to the supervision of national
elections.
5. Whether he sign or veto the latter to
pass the legislative bill and then adjourn.
It will thus be. seen that there is little pros-
pect of an adjournment before the middle of
J one. i V
The notable speech of the week was that
of S. B. Chittenden, of New York, in oppo-
sition to the Warner Silver Bill, which he
denounced in the most unmeasured terms.
His exposure of the covert iniquity and ras—
cality of the measure was very vigorous, and
his excoriation of the Greenbackers was
much enjoyed. His thrusts at De LaMatyr,
whom he ridiculed as the beloved apostle and
high priest of that party, and whom he criti-
clerk’sdesk that the Lord would take them
(the members of Congress irrespective of
party) all to Heaven, and then straightway
made a frantic effort from his own seat to
make it warm' for “the infamous and hell-bent
bond holders,” was well deserved.
The advices from Indiana respectingthe
late elections there would seem to indicate
that that State was fast swinging back to her
Republican moorings and 'would be safe at
the Republican dock in 1881. Great gains
have been made in almost every section of
the State, and, especially in those portions of
it where least expected. Unless some great
change in public sentiment should occur the
“Solid South” in the next campaign is sure
to have arrayed against her the “Solid North. "

A copy of the Middletown, N. Y. Press,
brings us the intelligence of the death of
Gamma STEWART, at Davenport, Iowa.
Mr. Stewart has been for many years past, a
leading Dry Goods Merchant in Davenport,
but we remember him gratefully as in boy-
hood days, our kind, considerate and faithful
teacher in the public school at Middletown.
The Press truly says of him:—“He was a
man of exalted Christian character, genial
ways and benevolent disposition. He was
kind to the poor, and whatever he did in this
direction, which was not a little, was pure
benevolence that had no ulterior object but
the good of those to whom he gave a helping
hand."

The time is approaching for these annnual

occasion is to be from the new song book
“Jasper and Gold will be used."
Miss Ada Dyas, the noted and famous
actress who has resided here in Norwalk for

highly enthusiastic notices of her beauty,
style and acting, and declare her to be the
very best that ever prefermed in their city
and, giving the manager great praise for hav
ing favored them with so delightful an ac-
tress call upon him to permanently engage her
for his leading characters. ' ‘his of course
must'be most gratifying to Miss Dyas show—

Safes.
Attention is called to the advertisement
of Morris 6: Ireland of their safes. Their
record is an unusually good one and their
safes are now being introduced very exten-
sively throughout our state. These safes are
claimed to be both burglar snd fire—proof,
and are provided with a first-clues 4 wheel
combination lock, and look to be all they
are represented to be. We have bad faith
enough in them to invest in one for own
use, and it can now be seen in our office.
They went through the great Boston fire
with a most enviable record and do not ap-
pear to be afraid of comparisons with any
other safe company in the country. They
manufacture different sizes, and their prices
will be as low as good safes can be put at
in any market. For a full und complete
description, we refer to their adv. which

The new and revised edition of Zell’s

pages printed in small but clear type. There

and complete, the latest being Italy, Turkey
in Europe and Greece, and some 2800 wood
cuts. The publishers say that nearly every—
thing within the range of human knowledge
meets with treatment in this work, and
their claim is apparently substantiated.
They have given all they promised to do on
the start, and more too, for the last number
has a supplement of 23 pages, five columns
each, giving a pronouncing vocabulary of
English and Foreign proper names. The

A story is told of a Kentucky girl who had
agreed to elope with a lover whom her 'par-

descended the ladder in the night and started
with him on horseback. “Now you see how
much I love you,” she said; "you will always
be a true and kind husband, won’t you ?" He
answered grufily, “Perhaps I may, and per—
haps not." She rode in silence a few minutes,
when she suddenly exclaimed: “Oh! what
shall we do? Ihave left- my money behind
me in my room!” “Then,” said be, “we
must go back and fetch it." They were soon
again at the house, the ladder was again plac-
ed, the lady rcmounted, while the ill-natured
lover remained below. But she delayed to
come, so he gently called, “Are you com—
ing ?" When she looked out of the window
and said, “Perhaps I may, and perhaps not ;”
and then shut down the window.

The Society's Committee and Treasurer of
the Congregational Church, of South Nor--
walk, reported at their annual meeting, the

been paid off and a small balance still left in
their treasury. This is a state of financial
prosperity quite unusual with a majority of
churches.
Sabbath sen ices in , the various city
churches, were interesting, the Lusual morn-
ing services being held, Sabbath school con-
certs following in the evening. At the Bap-
tist church the evening was mostly occupied
by Rev. Mr. Taylor in an address. At
the Methodist church the services were more
elaborate. An address by the superintend-
ent, followad by a recitation by a very little
boy, one the recitation “String of Pearls”
by 10 Misses dressed in white, wearing
crowns and sashes, were the chief attractions
except always the singing. At the Congre-
gational church the usual form and prepar-
ation was followed, the "motto" being
“Jesus,‘the rose of Sharon." The recitations,
singing and addresses were interesting and
appropriate.
Now that the councilmen have commenc-

Compliment to It Popular Con-

Conductor Frank Hermance, who has

.scized on Saturday morning on his down
trip, by his old commuter friends, and forced
to listen to a speech complimentary to his
uniform cure and” kindness to his patrons,and
then compelled to receive a packet as atoken
of their kind remembrance of him. The
package was found to contain fifty dollars,
which had been hurriedly collected on the
train from the “boys,” and most cheerfully
given as a token of their affection and
esteem. Hermance was caught, almost, in
the same predicament of Gen. Scott, and

that he could find no other words than

tlemon"—in which to express his grateful

The road from Norwalk to New Canaan,
has not quite stone enough on it yet to call it
a pavredroad but there are loose cobbles
”1°“le on it to make it the meanest road 'to
travel on in thianéfion.
If Norwalk wishes to secure patronage
from the surrounding towns the first thing
to do is to see that all the main roads into
Norwalk in particular are kept in good con-
dition. Grade the hills while labor is cheap
and nowhere is this needed more than on
the above road to NEW CANAAN. .
Our Selectmen and the Roads.
Msssus. Eol'rons :—-0ur Selectmen should
at once order every road superintendent to
go over the highways in his District and rake
the loose stones out of the road beds, as in
some places the cobbles so fill them that it
is unsafe to drive a team over them. The
winter and spring wear and frosts, have
losened an unusual quantity of cobble-stones
on all our roads which should be removed
without further delay. The road over the
hi“ lusteast of the Church homestead on the
Westport road, is completely covered with
cobbles,and many other highways are equally
dangerous to drive over. Doo'ron.
Mr. W. J. Gunning has already made a
great improvement at his place at Cranberry
Plains; which has one of the finest locations
in the town for a full view of the surround-
ing country. The old road leading. to his
house has been put in first-class order by
the Carpenter Brothers of Portchcster. The
buildings are being pushed along rapidly'
under the' direction of boss carpenter Rey-
nold's, while engineer Rider looks after
water, sewers, roads, &c. Water has been
successfully forced up the hill, nearly half
a mile, about 150 feet high, at the rate of
1 gallon per minute. While Mr. Gunning
is giving employment to quite an army of
laborers, he will also be of great value to
the town, and for this the town should see
that the highways loading to his place are
put in at least fair'oondition to travel over.
CnANllEnnv PLAINS.
Workmen are engaged in making quite
radical changes and improvements in the
old Mott place, astructure noted for inter-
esting local associations in days long 'gone
by, when stage coaches were the most rapid
means of conveyance between Boston and
New York. The large addition to the rear,
grown dilapidated with age is to be en—
tirely demolished, while the front will be
fixed up and re-painted, and made to assume
a more modern aspect. This action on the
part of the owner will specially rejoice the
neighborhood and . please the community at
large.

labors. in the Providence diocese, and is gen-
erally respected among ‘Catholics and Prot-
estants alike for his sterling worth and in—

SURGICAL OPERATION.—Tlle operation of lith-

made aware of the real cause of his complaint.
The Doetor was wqrmly congratulated upon the

make a good recovery.

al of stone from the bladder (says the Rondout
