This question of whether a session of our Legislature every year-as new, or once 111 two years is best for the little State of Con- necticut is-soon to be decided. The Com- mittee selected to examine into the question and reportto the Legislature, say that fully a quarter of a millio ‘ saved to the State and the towns the “011 year” by discontinuing one annual session. Will any one tell us in the face of this saving what possible interest can suffer by the omission. Is not our little State as well as the world governed too much rather than too little ? Grant’s Return. All California and apparently the rest of mankind have been on the quiez’ve for the re- lis ship reached San turn of Gen. Grant. Francisco Saturday evening, amid the most enthusiastic demonstrations of rejoicing. Full thirty thousand people were afloat on the bay and outside the Golden Horn, to welcome in the Tokio, while a hundred thousand more people crowded the streets of the Golden City impatient to do the great chicftain honor. The General was escorted to the Palace Hotel, while Mrs. Grant rc— mnincd on shipboard till Sunday morning. He is in robust health and expresses himself as rrjoiecd to n turn to his loved native land. The Battle Flags. A beautiful aru'. charming September .day blessed the soldi .- boys who went to Hart— ford on the patriotic mission to receive and place in their final resting place the “torn shreds” of the “dear old flag" under which the men of Connecticut marched,and fought, and fell during the war of the rebellion. It was estimated that there were from eight to ten thousand veterans in line, and one regi- ment, the old Inn, is said to have had every surving member present save one. The gal- ant 17th turned out the largest number of men we have seen convened since the wanand their march with, Gen. Noble at their head, was a vivid reminder of “other days” when - “war-”s lurid flame lit 'up the field and sky." Gcn. Ferry’s old 5th Conn. was out in force and shared conSpicuously with comrades of other regiments in the general eclat of the oc- casion. Hartford people covered themselves all over with glory and with transparencies, arches, flags, bunting, and almost every pos- sible device suggestive of patriotic ardor. No one could have witnessed the grand demon— stration without feeling a renewed assurance that the “country is safe.” That the heart of this free people still beats responsive “to the music of the Union.” That the strong arms of her stalwart sons, now as well as then, are ready to do and die, if need be, for the preservation of Liberty, “so that this government, by and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” ..=__——-—-———— The Fair. At this writing there are indications of rain, but a reasonable quantity is needed to settle the dust and the visitors at the Fair will find it all the more agreeable if we ex— perience a little wetting down. Great activi- ty prevails at the grounds and in the exhibi- tion building to—(Iay,and the managers prom- ise the public an unusually good show. _ The Fire Parade. "hief Engineer Raymond has decided to hold the annual parade of the Borough Fire Department on Wednesday, October 22d—if not pleasant then, on the 23d. . The officers of the Department are invited by him to meet at the rooms of “Pioneer,” this evening at 8:30 for consultation in re- gard to arrangements. M The way to do it. t is asurprlse to some of the innocent souls who attempt to run our County Fair here, that the Danbury Town Fair so far “exceeds us in its attendance and receipts. One feature of' the business capacity and sagacily that governs there, is found in the simple fact, that an extra edition of 5,000 of one of the Danbury newspapers is or— dered and utilized as a mode of advertising their Town fair. m 01:, Wherefore? Our Washington correspondent states the significant fact that ex-Senator Barnum edu- veued his National Democratic Committee at Ii’ormley’s Hotel! New Wormly is a “colored friend and brother” of the deepest dye, although a most popular caterer and hotelkeeper. Quite; recently the “Head Centre” of the Norwalk democracy, was seen quietly supping at a hotel up the Naug- atuck Railroad and a few feet below him at the same table, the sable and corpulent cock, was vigoroucly plying her knife and fork in the same invigorating exercise I “Shall these things be—— And overcome us like a summer cloud Without our special wonder 2’” WW Henry Seymour, our worthy mason, is shoving his part of the new hotel work along with great cclcrity.

There will be a solidity and imposing dignity about the building, possessed by no other in the young and thrifty city, and the rapidity with which it isbeing hurried to completion is both remarkable and creditable to all the contractors. Violations of the Excise Law. Prosecuting Agent J. W. Wilson, Esq, made complaint last week of William High- land for selling intoxicating liquors without a license, and on Saturday he was arrested and brought before Justice Stuart, tried and convicted, total fines amounting to one hun- dred dollars and costs. Highland appealed to the next term of the Superior Court. Stephen H. Holmes, bondsman. Three suits have been brought against J. G. Charlton, for violating the liquor law. Two remain to be tried next week, the first resulting in the discharge of Charlton. Several persons were seen last Saturday reeling through our streets in a state of. beastly intoxication. _._._._..— The Ridgefield Fair takes place next week and the managers hope to see old Norwalk Well represented. The Danbury Town Fair opens on the 7th - of October, as will be seen by adv. The managers have made some improvements at the grounds this season, and seem‘to be alive to everything that helps to make such Fairs attractive. They may expect a good attend— ance from the shore towns—if they patronize our Fair well. flu“...— Irs. Chisholm’s Story. We shall give in next week’s GAZETTE the pathetic story of the widow of the murdered Judge Chisholm, so that our readers may see to what a state of barbarism at least one southern state in the Union has relapsed. The cold—blooded and deliberate murder of the father and still more atrocious murder of his young daughter because she would shield his person by her own, and the killing of her little brother like a dog, and all because they belonged to a Republican family, are patheti- cally described by the mother, with all their revolting necessaries. ~ Death of Dr. J. P. Thompson. . The cable yesterday furnishes the sad in— telligence of the death of Rev. Dr. Joseph P. Thompson, on Saturday, at Berlin. Dr. T. was the pastor of our schoolboy days at New Haven, and our life long friend. We knew him ever as a pure and holy man, an ardent friend, a ripe scholar and most genial and engaging gentleman, and a man of blessed memory. n of dollars may be, It BUCHOLZ’S TRIAL. The testimony in this case was all con- cluded on Thursday when the State“restcd." There was an under current murmur yet and ible, among the lawyers sitting near the writer, that the State had failed to prove the prisoner guilty of murder. Mr. Nelson Taylor, J r., as assistant States Attorney in the case, opened the argument on the part of the p secution. The maiden effort of Mr. Taylor was quite creditable to anything that was said by his senior associate Mr. Olmstead. Mr. Bellman replied for the prisoner, ingeniously weaving in to his argu— ment the confessions his client had made his counsel as to the manner'hc had robbed the body after the murder. He very dexterously filled his argument with bits of exculpa- tory evidence and his contrast of the condi- tion of his client, a lone and friendless boy, without means or a. knowledge of the lan- guage even, while against him was all the power of the State of Connecticut, of the vast wealth of the Schulte family, the power and influence of the whdlc German Govern- ment as represented by its Consul and the secret and relentless powers of the detective system, was so pathetic that for the first time during the trial the prisoner gave way to con- vulsive grief. Quite a number of the ladies present were also moved to tears of sympathy for the prisoner. He denounced the whole plan of the State as extraordinary and unheard of. The prisoner had even been approached by an agent of the State and advised not to trust his own counsel. Mr. Olmstead followed in probably, the most elaborately prepared argument of his life. It showed many evidences however, of the lack of careful revision and condensa- tion, but he did not fail to impress bench, jury and audience of the fact, that he had started out to convict Bucholz of the mur— der of Schulte and felt fully conscious in his own mind that he had succeeded in his purpose. He concluded his long argument on Friday, carefully and always persistently coloring every bit, of testimony and circumstance intoasupport of his theory that the prisoner and none other was guilty. His theory was very far from being accepted by many who had heard all the testimony, for there were many facts proven entirely inconsistent with the idea that but one person committed the murder. In fact, if some of the state’s own witnesses testified to the exact truth, it 'was impossible that Bucholz could alone have perpetrated the crime. This conviction seemed to quite generally pervade the court room to the end of Mrj Olmstead’s earnest argument. Gen. Wm. Randle Smith began the closing and by far the most able and exhaustive argument, early Friday forenoon and con- tinued to speak for five hours. There was no attempt at ornatcoratOry by any of the speakers. But General Smith had listened to his client’s story. told him in confidence as his counsel, and so perfectly did all he re— lated, tally with the incidents brought out in the testimony, that to the very depths of his soul, he believed him innocent of the murder and only guilty of robbing the body, which he freely confessed to have done after the bloody crime had been committed by others unknown to him. He saw too, in the many ofiicious acts of persons seemingly determined to manu- facture testimony against Bucholz, that there might be a motive and purpose to divert suspicion from themselves. The staggering fact of the mony being found in the posses— sion of his client, and the difficulty of making his client’s explanation of that fact as clear tojothcrs as it was to himself,the great peril of the poor boy and his own terrible responsibility as chief manager of the de~ fence, with the states attorney’s apparent determination to convict at all hazards, so wrought upon him, that at times his emotion was touchingly appirent, and the tears that started from his eyes, became more earnest and eloquent in their pleadings, than any words that were uttered. He freely ad— mitted his client had stolen the old miser’s money, and most adroitly related (what he had no means of showing in testimony,) Bucholz own narration of how and when he didit, and how and when and why he hid it. His most concl'hsive point was the physical impossibility of Bucholz having had time to commit the murder in the 27 to 30 minutes only, proven by the state to have elapsed from the time he left Herscher’s saloon, until pale and frightened almost out of ‘his senses, he plunged into the Waring house back door. He had Messrs. Charles Crew, and officer Dayton walk rapidly over the same ground—more rapidly than by a chance witness he had proven Schulte walked that fatal night—and they had not been able to go over the ground in less than 27 minutes. The murder, the rifiing of the body and scattering of the'deceased’s effects could not in any probability have_been accomphshed in the time,'by any one person. That is still the judgment, we believe, of every dis- passionate analyzer of all the facts surround- ing this most extraordinary case, and this point of Gen. Smith’s made a profound im- pression, we are quite sure, upon the jury as well as audience. As the General progressed with his argu- ment, 772's theory of his client’s innocence of murder, seemed to he at least, quite as con- sistent with all the mass of circumstantial evidence as wcs.thc States theory of he being alone guilty. We think it was much more so, and when he had concluded, it was the universal belief that the jury would either disagree as to the murder or at worst render a verdict in the second degree. The charge of Judge Park, although designed to be fair, no doubt, clearly indicated the Judge’s belief in the prisoner’s guilt of murder, and the fact of a misstatement as to the precise manner the prisoner became possessed of the first pocket- book,did not seem to shake the general belief that the prisoner would escape conviction of murder in the first degree. The far-seeing sagacity of General Smith’s peculiar manner of conducting his cross examinations, became plainly apparent as his argument developed his line of defense. As the General has had little to work for but fame and an honest conviction that justice would be outraged by the execution of Bus cholz for a murder he thoroughly believed he never committed, it is due to truth to say that he has conducted the defense with :1 won- derful tact and ability that must advance him to the fore front among the criminal lawyers of our State. run vnnmcr. It used to be a favorite remark of the late Judge Bissell, that Solomon should have added to thefithings too uncertain to fathom —“the verdict of a Connecticut jury." This sentiment has a forcible illustration in the verdict of “murder in first degree” against Bucholz, brought in after being out nineteen hours and one return to the 'court with the report that it was impossible for them to agree. JudgejPark sent them back at about nine o’clock with a very distinct intimation of what he considered it their duty to do, and at noon on Saturday they came in agreed. Among those reported to have “stood out" against the verdict rendered, was Selleck Youngs, of this place, a rumor we very much doubt, because he is a man who would have been likely to have stood by his convictions of what was right till doomsday, did he be— lieve the prisoner did not commit the murder. It has been a curious and most intensely interesting case throughout. There will long continue to bea feeling that Bucholz was not the murderer of Schulte, and his counsel will apply for and" in justice ought to be and doubtless will be granted a new trial, and that justice and right may prevail will be the prayer of all. The New York Herald thus voices 'the better judgment, we think, of all :who listen- ed to the carefully detailed story of Detec- tive Stark. But for his narrative and fatal finding of old Schulte’s fortune, Bucholz could never have been convicted of the mar. der, and testimony thus procured should not be hastily accepted as true in all particulars, so long as the law provides that no man charged with crime shall be called upon to say anything to criminate himself. It says; his'abllities as a lawyer, and as effective as’ “Itis extremely difiicult to draw the line where detective Ingenuity should be stayed in hunting down such a crime as this, but it seems to us that the revolting work done by Stark is very close to that line. How infor— mation thus obtained is to be viewed as evi- dence is a much more practical question to answer, and in this trial it seems pretty clear that it required eflicient support before being acceptable to the jury. As to the morality of the matter, if the end justifies the means all is said that can be said. There must have been something like false swearing necessary to procure a commitment on the charge of attempted robbery, or else a laying with legal forms in which some ju icial ofllcers acted afarcical part. The whole procedure has a disagreeable aspect and savers of the uncleanly methods of governments which we call despotic. Bucholz is without doubt a despicable character, Lawyer Olmstead a de- termined prosecutor, and Stark a clever sim— ulator; but those who concur in the verdict may still regret that justice .had to stoop so low to secure a conviction." PasSea Away. During the past week, two individuals,who though locally better known as‘moving in the lower walks of life, were yet of such marked personal characteristics as to be do. serving of passing notice. The first GIDEON Luncs,has been long noted as akind—hearted, inoffensive and very poor man. He had his failings, and who of us have not our faults, yet fifty years ago Gideon Leeds was recog- nized among the manufacturers of Norwalk as an upright man, and so skilled in his busi— ness that his prospects for success in life were as prophetically assured as that of the foremost citizen of the town contemporary with him. But financial cmbarrassments, business and other discouragements, instead of developing that higher resolution which fights the harder, as reverses come, led him, insensibly at first, to seek relief in that de— stroying solace,that continued, never has but one end. The other, was JonN NASH, a faithful, ‘toiling man, whose prodigies of physical labor and endurance were for a third of a century a marvel to all who knew him. He, too, with all his faults and failings had an honest nature and kindly heart. And who shall say that in the hereafter these two hum. ble souls may not stand justified and glori- fied, when the rich of the earth shall meet deserved condemnation from the Father of All, “who judgeth not as man judgeth." . PERSONALS. E. S. Quintard, Esq., of New Haven, was in town yesterday. Miss Hattie Quintard has returned from her visit to the West.

The printed Voting Lists for the several voting districts are now being distributed. Examine them carefully, and report all errors to the Registrars who will hold two sessions this week for the revision and correction of their lists. Old voters of the town, who have been back six months, can have their names re— stored to the list by the Registrars at these sessions. The number of names registered under the head of “To be made" was 37 in the First District, 31 in the Second Ditrnict, and 4 in the Third District, making '72 altogether. Of this number hardly one-half will be made this yera. , More Burglaries. On Friday night last several dwellings in and near Mott Park were burglariously en- tered—in most cases through windows by forcing back the kctch—and silverware, clothing, etc., carried off. The heaviest loser seems to have been Mr. J. T. Prowitt, as they “gathered in" nearly all of his wife’s solid silverware, presented to her on their wedding day. They also got Mr. Prowitt’s best-Sunday clothes, and going up stairs car- ried off Dr. J. G. Barbour’s clothes, but thoughtfully took out his bunch of keys and left them down stairs 111 a chair. They also entered the houses of Geo. F. Quintard and Mr. Belts facing the Park and Gen. Crawfurd on top of Prospect Hill, where they were frightened off by a little dog before they could commence operations. Mr. Prowitt offers a reward for the return of the articles stolen from his house. m Westport Pinaforc. The W estport amateurs were honored with alarge and fashionable audience at Music Hall, last Friday evening, to witness their rendering of Pinafore. The entertainment passed elf very pleasantly, the performance giving general satisfaction and pleasure. At first there was much natural timidity exhibit- ed by the performers, but when they realized that their auditors were very kindly disposed they took courage and improved wonderfully and the last part especially was rendered in a manner “greatly to their credit" and to the pleasure of their listeners. The leading, parts were generally well taken, and the choruses rendered with spirit. As an amateur performance it was certainly very good, comparing favorably with many professional renderings of the opera. If the company should decide to come here again we: have no doubt they would receive a sim- ilar reception. On Monday night of last week, Mr. Ros—' well Benedict’s place on the Step Road was visited by thieves who entered the stables, harnessed the horse and drove off witha wagon load of poultry. Next day alot of the chickens were found in a cellar near Round Hill. It ls said that they were found in the woods, and put in the cellar for safe keeping. The horse and wagon was also found and restored to the owner. W Humpty Dumpty'as young and lively as ever, is coming to town again to amuse the people.

Seldom, if ever before, has the Opera House been so crowded at a musical enter- tainment, as at the presentation of Pinafore last week Monday evening.

The new sewer through West, Clay and Franklin street is about completed. It is suggested by some that our clergy should visit cur dock: on a Sunday and ad- dress some of their eloquence to the Sabbath breakers who spend their Sundays in fishing. There are some youngmgn around here who think they have splendid voices for singing, and there is just where they are mistaken. It is very pleasant of a Sunday night, when on your way to church, to hear two or three of these fellows belching forth with their melo. dious 0) voices in selections from Pinafore, or some other opera. Let up, boys, or go out“ in the woods where no one can hear you. Rev. James V. Saunders, previous to his sermon, on Sunday evening, referred to the nuisance of the lounging about the church before and after services, ,and'requeated its discontinuance. But we understand the re- quest had but little effect. It is suggested by some that the names of those who persist in lounging about the church be published, and we don’t know but that would have the dc— sircd effect. .

City election in No weeks, who is to be mayor and councilmen? By the new law the democrats and the republicans have the same representative in the board of council- men, and probably there will be a big fight for the honors. The republicans have several candidates for mayor, D. P. Ely is spoken of as one, and some think because he is build- ing the new hotel he is entitled to it. We hear Major Doty spoken of as another, Charley would make a goodru'n, as many who belonged to his party when he ran the last time, voted against him, think now that he was wrongfully used, and only want another opportunity to vote for him. P. L. Cunningham is also spoken of as a candi- date, and would undoubtedly make a good Baker, and R. H. Rowan are on the list. The republicans have gbod timber to select from, and are easy about the election. The_ democrats are also looking about for a candi- date. Mr. Swanz, who made such a good run last year, is spoken of as the coming man by some, but we doubt if he will accept the nomination. Mr.‘ .Swurtz is very popular and is a good candidate, Henry R. Fitch is also spoken of, he is well liked by everybody, and would poll a heavy vote. General Tay— lor would make a good candidate, but we doubt if he Would accept the nomination. There are lots of candidates for councilman, and we hope the nominations will be good ones. Hatters are all busy, and times are looking well for every branch of industry. Stillson has had good audiences for the past ' two weeks, to hear him describe the trial of Bucholz, and he can almost give the trial from beginning to end from memory. The verdict in the Bucholz case took all by surprise. Some say it is too severe, others say it is justice. Counsel Smith has secured a stay of judgment until next Wed- nesday, and when the Supreme Court opens, which will be in a week or two, will argue for a mtdal for his client. -. The city correspondent has returned home after an absence of some time, and hereafter will try and keep the readers of the szann posted in what is going on in the city. Our people feel proud of our young lawyer Nelson Taylor, Jr., for the manner in which he opened the argument for the state in the Bucholz case last week at Bridgeport. The New.YoI-k Times speaking of his argument says : “He made a brief review of the evi- dence and a strong argument against the prisoner. Mr. Taylor is a slow and careful speaker, and he held the attention of the jury for about an hour." The Railroad company have been repairing the platform about the depot. Robert St.John is back again and this time to stay we hope. He is with VanHooscar. There was quite a number of our horse- men on the new track on Saturday.

Salem was planted in Sept" 1862. Skelton and Higgiuson, who arrived in June following, were the first putor and first teacher of the Salem church. The organi- zation of the church was completed August 6 O. S., corresponding to August 15, .S. The simplgplatform upon which the ‘church was found was the following: "We cov- enant With the Lord, and one with another, and do bind ourselves, in the presence of God, to walk together in all HIS ways, ac- cording es He is leased to reveal imself to us in His ble Word.

The Secretary then voted for the following officers who were declared elected: Presi- dent, Lt. A. W. Peck; recording and corres- ponding secretary, Lt. R. L.

It was then voted to hold the next Re—union at New town. Col. Wm. H. Noble was elected Command- er for the day with power to appoint officers.

Hamilton, vice president; Chaplain, Horace Winslow, secretary; D. B. Hamilton, W. M. Mix, H. H. Rugg, executive committee. There are 175 present. The story that is going around the news— papers about the yacht that President Hayes has purchased, is untrue. It finds its origin in the fact that Mr. George W. Gustin, the President's stenographer, has had a yacht of ten tons burden built for use upon the Poto— mac, and has named it Fannie Hayes, after the President's ten year old daughter. The yacht was built in Philadelphia, has a six horse power.eugine in it, and will carry about twenty-five people comfortably. Mr. Gustin brought her around from Philadelphia early this week, and was caught in a terrific storm offgthc eastern shore of Maryland, having a very narrow escape. Mr. Gusti'n will be re- membered as Governor J ewell’s popular pri- vate secretary while he was Postmaster Gen- eral. Obituary. Mrs. Charlotte Strong Blossom, the esteem- ed wife of Mr. Thomas Blossom, died at the family residence, No. 258 Pearl Street, Sat- urday evening, after an illness of only a few hours. The immediate cause of her death was neuralgia of the heart, and so quick did the dreadful disease do its work that Mrs. Blossom was only ill from about two o'clock Saturday morning until half past six in the evening, when death ended her sufferings. Mrs. Blossom was born in Windsor, Con— necticut, February 14th, 1814, and was there- fore sixty-five years of age. In 1830 the fam—_ ily removed.to this city, whére a year later she was married to Mr. Blossom, and since that time has always lived in Buffalo. The deceased was one of the best known ladies of the city and was eminently noted for her pure Christian character and unsel— fish conduct through life. For a great num— ber of years she was a member of the First Presbyterian Church and was closely identi— fied with its interests. Her numerous deeds of love and charity are well known through- outthe city. In her home she was especially lovable and was a noble helpmeet to her hus- band during almost half a century. ' She leaves an aged mother, Mrs. Strong, and three sisters, Mrs. E. G. Spaulding, Mrs. S. F. Pratt and Mrs. H. M. Kinne, besides a son-owing husband to mourn her sudden death—Buick) Courier, 15th inst. ‘ " She was a neice of the Rev. Mr. Eaton, a. former pastor here, and also an aunt of Mrs. Frank B. Smith, and was well known to many of our older citizens. YOKOIIAMA. Sept. 8.—General Grant has had a series of demonstrations unparalled in Japan.

Three calculus or stones of the phosphate of lime were removed, each being about the 8128 and shape of a large almond.

It is descriptive of a three thousand mile stage ride before the Pacific Railroad was built, from the Missouri River to Denver, Salt Lake, Nevada, California, Oregon, and Washington Territory to the Straits of Fuca and Vancouver’s Island. The Lecture treats of the Plains, the Mountains and the Mines, —the Yosemite, Geysers and Big Trees,— Mormonism and our duty towards it, &c. The Albany (N. Y.) Evening Journal spoke of this Lecture, editorily, as follows: “Twee- dle Hall was filled. last night to hear Mr. Colfax‘s Lecture, ‘Aeross the Continent,’ most of our leading citizens and a full quo- rum of the Legislature being present, and all were delighted. We never heard. so much of the beautiful, interesting and instructive crowded into ninety minutes. The Lecture in a. splendid panorama, presenting to the mind the various scenes described, with the vividness of the pencil. But it is not in its word-pictures merely that this Lecture is at— tractive. Its review of Mormonism, and its compact and graphic survey of the mineral wealth and' agricultural capabilities of the vast territory lying between the Mississippi River and Pacific Ocean, furnishes the states- man and the statieran food for grave thought We thank him in the name of all who heard him, for having given them an opportunity to join him in his delightful ride ‘Across the Continent'.” 36 Probate Sale.
