The Defeated Amendments;

Despite the large vote against Biennial
Sessions, we still confidently believe the
candid judgment of a majority of the people‘
of the State are in its favor. The question;
was most unfortunately handicapped by the
proposed increase of the term of service
of the judges. The form of the printed
ballots sent. about the state could not well

.have been more confusing to the average
voter. The powerful trade influences of
Hartford, as was natural, were against‘t.
The far more active and effectual influences:-
of the united Democratic State committee
were against it. An opposition which is ex-
plained by a belief on the part of Democratic
managers that should the measure prevail it
would somehow lessen their chances of secur-
ing the next U. S. Senator. In many interior
towns, ambitious embryo statesmen opposed
it under the .delusion that their chances of
being elevated to a seat. in the Legislature
would be diminished one-half. In the cities
and larger villages were many young attor—
nies with a desire to spend pleasant and
profitable hours about the Legislature, with
strong perceptions that the more frequent
the sessions the more thrifty their engage-
ments to “appear before the committees.”
Or in the terse summing up of the New
'London Telegram:

“The “finds of the amendment, being in
fiucnccd only by a leslrelu pummel. the
public welfare, did nothing; its opponents,
having a- personal interest at stake in -mauy
cases, and being actuated wholly by selfish
considerations, were active.”

Gen. Hawley’slast hour recantation, we do
not believe changed a dozen votes. Wishing
to be loyal to the pecuniary interests of his
city, we think he. may Well be excused for
yielding to an overpowering local dominition.
His letter was so unlike his . better self that
it has provoked unkiudly criticism more be—
cause of its awkward performance than of
its injurious effects upon the proposed reform,
The Palladium very aptlyland not at all
ungenerously epitomizes it thus: .

“When General Hawley did speak, his
words did not seem like those Of a man who
hid long made up this mind, did not, indeed,
seem lilficneral Hawley. They read llkc
wordsa man was reluctantly compelled to
write against his better convictions, and
which he knew would surprise and grieve
many of his best friends.” .

The Harthrd Post sarcastically insists that
the people of Connecticut had better say no
more about high taxes and hard times :

The people of Connecticut were assured by
one of the ablest commissions ever called out
by the Législatlire, which had devoted a year
to the investigation of: the. subject, that not
less than $250,000 could be saved every sec-
ond year-by biennial sessions; and yet the
chance to reduce taxation to this extent is
rejected almost contemptuously by the people
for whose‘ relief it .was devised. What is
$250,000to them! They are not to be de-
prived ’of their “School for statesmanslrip”
_for the sake 9f any such bagatclle as a quar—
ter of a million dollars, , .

 

 

Losr CmLD.—Last‘ Tuesday , morning
Daniel Shehan who lives on the Rocks Road
cast of Winnipauk, called. on Selectman
Selleck and informed him that a little estray
girl had come to his house the night before,
and was unable to give her name or place of
residence, 'but stated she attended school,
and as near, as it could be made out, the.
North Centre school was supposed to be the
one. Mr. Shehan kindly drove there, but
no one knew anything about her. He thén
went to the Centre School and there a boy
was found who knew the child, and said she
lived on the Fort Point Road, near the, rail-
road bridge down Town. The lad was des-
patched to inform the child’s mother, Who it
seems was the widow Thomas O’Neil, .imd
who had sent it to the Down Town school
for the first time on Monday. The poor'
mother had been nearly frantic over the
disappearance of her child and the neighbor-
hood was thoroughly excited by the un-
accountable event. The mother and child
were made inexpressibly happy in their
re—union. The girl was nearly six years old,
yet had become so bewildered and frightened
that. she could not give her name even', and
this event emphasizes a suggestion repeated
in the GAZETTE recently, that the full name
of every child should be plainly puton some
garment it wears. ' ‘

‘ ’digna’nt pa cili‘all over the state for a
repeal of the transparent fraud. Nosct of
horse jockeys or thimble ‘riggcrs overdo-
vised a more cunning “skin game" to cheat
the unwary. Its operation here had a most
beautiful illustrationLin the struggle between
the champions of ~Platt Price and Nelson J.
Claw, ’Esqrs. ifor the minority place in the
Selectmen’s Board. The question and the
effort was not how Zl'nany votes each could
get for” his candidate, but how many more
“scratches” he could effect so as t0‘1hl‘OW
his competitor , behind ‘th'clother. Price’s
.Iriendsgot the? game into. their .heads too
late to save him, for the effort to victimizc
him had‘started early in the day at South
Norwalk, and so he was beaten by barely a
beggarly four votes; Minority representa—
'tion is a cheat and a delusion and ought to
be forever repealed. Let mojoriti‘es rule and
he held to accountability 'as" to how they
rule, but let not honest voters be defrauded
by such contemptilile jugglcry. _Our last
week's election in town and city, Was more
like ‘a Donny Brook donkey' 'raee, where the
last donkey in, wins the first prize, and no‘
rider is permitted to ride his'own animal,
than an intelligent expression of the wishes
of free people in the choice of their local
rulers. The Sentinel truly says .:-— '
It makes a farce of the election. The
only proper way to administer the affairs of
government in this-country is amajority
rule, and the majority party should be made
responsible. .

Danbury Fair.

Our friends had a large and exceedingly
improved exhibition within their several
buildings, The horse part of the showlis said;
to have been inferior'to sonic of former years,
butif so it was more than made up in the‘
side shows, skin games and other outside en-
tertainments. Au immense concoursevisit—
ed the fair. The weather was hot and roads
dusty but despite these, discomforts every—
body sccmed jolly and happy.

Theodore Barnes claims to have been
robbed of nearly $300 in money and a gold
watch. A_ South Norwalk visitor had his
pocket picked of $23 in money and his‘m-
mutation ticket on the New York d: New
Haven road.

We are indebted to Noam: A 17‘ 5--..--
and W. B. Bartram, for the following fig-

ures giving the number Of admissions to the
Fair the last two seasons:
1878—chnesday,2,27_8; Thursday,6,65S ;
Friday, 10,632; total 19,558. _
1879—,Wednesday, 2,106; Thursday, 6,903;
Friday, 10,591; total 19,600.

 

An Improvement.
The school house in the Down Town dis-
trict is being repainted. The building will
be greatly improved thereby in appearance.

 

 

 

'Much interest is manifieSted in Huntington,
L. I., in the project of establishing a'stea'm
ferry between, that place and Norwalk, in
order to furnish a good market fer Long
Island produce. . The-talk now is to build a
boat for $15,000 to run to New York three
days in the? week and to ~ Norwalk the alter—
nate days. A meeting recently held was at—
tended by about two hundred citizens. ‘

 

Another New Business.

I. M. Rose'& :00. have been for months
past quietly pushing a most prosperous and
growing new business here in Norwalk.
Their modest little manufactory-is on the"
“Sticky Plain” Road, a few rods northwest
from our cemetery. ‘ _Here a newly invented
pocket and parlor match or “magazine,” as
it is more strictly denominated, is made to
the number of spine 3,000 boxes per day.
They are so constructed that the flilminates
will not explode or even ignite without posh.

burning, and for householders and smokers is
conceded the best device in the market. The
welthy inventors and manufacturers are
as yet unable to fill one half of the _ orders
pouring in upon them. May success atten
their industry and ingenuity. ' _ .

The Colfax Lecture. ‘

. This lecture to be given On Wednesday
Evening, October 29th, will prove far- more
than ordinarily interesting. A special train
will run down from Ridgefield that evening
for accomodation of persons livingalong the '-
Danbury road. Tickets at 'usual excursion
rates for the trip. Tickets to the lecture are
35 cents, including a reserved scat, are now
selling at Selleck’s Book Store. f

' Liberal. . .

'By the intervention of Mr. Andrew Sci—-
leek, the publishers, Ivison, Blakcman, Tay—
lor & CO.,of New York, gave the Library
Officers leave to select from their publica-
tions of educational and other works, any-
thing they wanted without cost. This offer
was accepted and' selections were made with
a liberality at least equal to that' of the pub—
lishers,as the following list will show : Gray’s
New Manual of Botany, Gray’s How Plants
Grow. Gray’s How Plants Behave, Eliot and
Storer’s Manual of Inorganic Chemistry, El—
iot and Storer’sElcmentary Manual of Chem-
istry, Hitchcock's Anatomy and Physiology,
Fasquelle’s Edition in French of “Napoleon,”
“Telemaque” and Racine, Frobisher’s Voice
and Action, chtt’s Questions for written
examinations,'cxpecially for the use of teach-
ers who want to struggle .with the annual
conundrums of the school visitors; Kitto’s
Cyclopedia of Biblical Literature, 'two vols.
large, McLee’s Alphabets, being patterns for
fancy letters; Dana’s Manual of Geology,
Dana’s Geological Story Briefly Told. All
thesevaluable works (sixteen volumes) were
presented by a firm in' New ‘ York, without
any personal interest in the Library, without
restrictions as to a single work, on their list,
even the express charges to NorWalk being
prepaid by them. Will not somebody in
Norwalk with a personal interest in the Suc-
cess of the institution not give, but loan, a.
set of Dickens. Those who have made loans
of this sort have never 'cOmplained that their
books were ill-treated,“ and only one book has
beenulostualrd for that a new one, has
beenibrderjedtoifill its place. A "loan of
’Onh‘hbok‘i‘vorth ‘reading=is'4‘1f favOr“"iaiid an

Under the new law the .recently elected
Selectmen have already commenced their la-
bors. Norwalk was fortunate last year in

members working together in harmony. Mr.
Burr, the minority representative, was fear-

"less in the discharge of his duties, :1 man of

good judgment and worked more for the in-
terests ofthe town than for mere party. As
political opponents we desire to acknowledge

his merits and give him the it justly due.
His svvnr-pscnr. 11’.- l‘._.-._, 1...... lulu muuu CA-
perienee in public affairs, has the confidence

of the people, and will undoubtedly make a
valuable town officer.

_ O
Suicide. ,

The dead body ofJames H. Hodges, a man
about 48 years of age,and well'known to our
citizens as a vendor of fruit, fish, &c., for a
number Of years, was found dead in an upper
room Of his father‘s house, on Carter street,
New Canaan, on Sunday last at about half-
past eleven. Two,two ounce bottles labelad
laudanunl were found by his side, one of
which was empty, the other full, so that it
was an undoubted case of Suicide. He leaves
a wife and, three children,—the youngest
about two weeks old—who are living near
corner of Main and West Mainstreet's, in this
Borough. NO cause is given for the act, but
it is supposed that be had become discour-
aged over .the resulfif his business ventures
and had finally in a fit of desperation con—
cluded to'end his life. It is thought that he
got into the upper'room at his father’s on
Thursday, during the absence of the family,
and they had no knowledge or thought of
his being n'ear home, until having occasion to
go into the room, an unused one, on Sunday
morning they were horrified at finding his
corpse lying on the floor. An inquest was

held by a NewaCanaan jury.

Great disturbance on Spring Hill, Saturday
evening! Monahan on the war path and
bound to keep a dog!_ Mrs. M. equally de-
termined that he shall not, hence a fearful
scene of domestic hair pulling and vituprea—
tion in regular Monahan style! In, the melee
the dog got the woi'ist of 'it by being mashed
“agin” the knee. MOnahan also stood ready
to fight any man in the neighborhood who
was likely to interfere with his domestic
affairs, and was very emphatic in his requests
for “Tommy” Silk to-come over “tillIfix ye
011.” Mrs. M. finally retired to a neighbor’s
house for safety, leaving Monahan master of
the situation, determined not to be “bossed”
by the best woman that ever put “fut"‘in a
shoe. At 2 O’clock Sunday, a. m., Monahan
was out with a‘ lantern looking, for the re-
maing of his pup and bound to hold the

shanty at all hazards.

The, sudden death of Risky WORKMAN,

pf tetanug' has on‘account Of ,lnanygcircum-

stances "peculiarly piiilrful’in theirrecital,

enkindled the widest and deépest sympathy,

and left..the memory of; thisvmost- exemplary

and worthy young man, more beloved and

revered, (if that were possible) than was his

honest and winning nature When alive. He

grew up here in Norwalk to early manhood,

with . little to encourage, 'and much to

depress, yet be attained and maintained, the

esteem and even admiration of all who knew

how nobly he had risen above the adverse

circumstances of his childhood. He was a

member of Pioneer Hook & Ladder 00., and

a general favorite there as everywhere and

his comrades will do all they can to honor

his worthy memory. A short time since he

accepted an engagement in'the Milford Shoe

Factory, and soon after had two of. his
fingers cut of]? by one of the machines he

was superintending. Hiswound was dressed

and bid fair to rapidly heal. But a few
days ago he was about our streets, expecting
soon to return to his employment. Last

week he ' returned to Milford, but having
taken cold in his wound, lock—jaw set in and
on Friday death came to release him from
all earthly’sorrows and hoped for joys. No
parent was present to assuage the pains of
the dying boy, although sent for, but the one’
“nearer and dearer than all others" was
present to wipe the death-(lamps ‘from his
brow and solace his departure to the realms
celestial. ‘

His remains were brought to South Nor-
walk on Saturday, and’his funeral attended
from the residence of Rufus Richards, Esq.,
whose youngest daughter was his afilanced
bride. '

In his life, it could be truly said of him
that he was a' youth now alas, too seldom»
met :—

“Who nobly earns whatever crown he wears,

Who grandly conquers, or as grandly dies;

And the white banner of his manhood bears ,
Through all the years uplifted to the skies t ”

And in his untimely death, his virtues
will perpetuate and doubly _endear his
memory.

Henry Workman was 'a .member of Pio-
neer HOok and‘Ladder Company,wliieh com-
pany attended his funeral as a guard of
honor, as didqalso the entire Fire Depart—
mentsof the Borough‘and city. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev Mr. But-
terworth of New Jersey, and Rev. Homer

 

ment took place at Pine Island Cemetery.
It was the largest funeral seen in this city
for many years. ‘ v

A CARD.

Wnnnaas,lit hath pleased Almighty God
in his mysterious "wisdcm, to- remove from
among us, by death, our comrade HENRY *J.
WOBKMAN, now, therefore, we, the PIONEER
Hoox & LADDER Co. No. 1, adopt the fol—
lowing resolutions

In Mcmoriam.

Resolved. That, while we bow in humble
submission to the will of Him, who "doeth
all things Well,” we sincerely regret the un-
timely death -of our young comrade, whose
blameless life, and many virtues had won for

Resolved, .That we extend our heartfelt
sympathy to those to whom he was dear—as
comrade, brother and friend—realizing our
loss, but- believing—from our knowledge of
his true and manly life, that our loss is his
gain, that now, Of him it maybe truly said,
“It is well with my soul.”

Resolved, That the resolutions be publish-
ed, and that an engrossed copy be sent to the
sorrowing brother and sister, and to the dear
friend who will cherish his memory most
sacredly. E. S. WILCOXSON,

tion. The Providence Journal thus speaks
of the company: '

“Anthony & Ellib’ Uncle Tom’s Cabin
Company gave in Low’s Opera Heuse last
night a better representation of that celebrat—
ed story, than we supposed were poss' e in
asingle evening’sentertainment. The ar-.
acters were exceedingly well sustained
throughout the entire cast! Topsy as Miss
Minnie Foster, and little Eva by little
Mamie Gilroy who traveled all last season
wilh Modjeska,.were surprisingly fine. Mr.
Dudley performed Phineas Fletcher to an ad-
miration, and Mr. Hart carried the difficult
role of Marks to perfection. Uncle Tom
was most faithfully portrayed by Mr. E. R.
Lawrence, and the Miss Ophelia by Miss
Cannon. The humorous, pathetic and vil—
lanious were finely blended, and carried the
audience along with the phaze of sentiment.
It would be silent and angry at Simon Le—
gree. tearful at the sufferings of Uncle Tom,
and the death of Eva and Mr. St. Clair, and
wild with delight at the funny rendition Of
the parts of Phineas, Marks rthuaker, and
the Deacon, The house was ineonveniently
full, ,and th. wish was often expressed
that an opportunity might be offered to wit—
ness the performance again, The Jublee
Singers were very fine.

Harlem’s Opening.

A comical Irishman convulsed Gus Frank’s
barber shopflhe next morning after the
“opening" at Harlem’s corner the night
before. Said Pat, “yees ought to have seen
the Judge last night. He got full, 'standin’
over the grates and smellin’ the beer from
the liquor saloon doWn stairs and he ran
forninst Nichol’s first, andthin fell through
the winder and let the lights out and his
liver in, and thin yecs ought to see,Sullivan
”run over there, and Squire Steuart, and
Squire Perry, not to enjoy the-diversion but
to get a job ivery One of them, and thin
over cum Pinkerton’s detective to get a job
too, and thin Sullivan arrested the “Judge”
who was drunk and peaceable, and left . tlze
crowd that was making all the noise, and so
the ruetion indid, so it did.” The joke lay in
'the fact that Pinkerton’s detective was
sitting in Frank's _chair with‘ face covered
with lather and convulsed with bgaring the
Irishman’s story, who was unaware of his
presence. '

The Lass that Loved a Sailor.

At last Norwalk has had “Pinafore,”-—the
genuine article. Mr. Henderson's Standard
Theatre Company at the Opera House, last
Wednesday evening, rendered the opera in
the most satisfactory manner, ,delightinga
cultivated audience. The absence of certain
scenic effects was soon forgotten and cheer—'
fully pardoned as soon as the rare ' excellence
’of the company ‘was made evident. We
have seldom seen such a strong company
throughout. Every character was well

ken, no prompter was needed, the singing
was remarkably _fine.’ the acting unusually
good, the orchestra satisfactory, the costumes
rich and handsome, the ladies beautiful, and
the audience happy. Hereafter Mr. Hen-
derson’s name as manager will be sufficient
to win the confidence 9! our people. We
hear that negotiations are.being made. to
bring the company bereiagain' under local
auspices ' ' ’ '

Large numbers of our citizens attended the
Danbnry fair on Thursday and Friday.

We are to have another election next
month for representatives, and we heat (as
“91131) of a number of candidates. Judge
Austin is one of the aspirants, and probably
will make quite an effort in the caucus.
Charles W. Hoyt has also_announecd himself
as a candidate, who, we understand, wants to
go to the legislature in the oyster interest.
Charley will, undoubtedly, make a strong ef-
fort for the nomination. The probabilities
are that R. H. Rowan will receive the nom—

ination, and, Without a doubt, he is the
strongest man the Republicans can nomiriate,
as he made many friends in the last legisla—
ture. The stand he took in regard to the
convict labor, and also in the matter .01
dredging for oysters by steam has made him
hosts of friends. He will, undoubtedly, re—
ceive the nomination, and if so, Will be elect-
ed by a large majority. We have not heard
who the Democrats propose to run: .we pre—
sume they will put up a strong candidate, .lf
Jerry does not capture their caucus as he did
at their city nominations. We don't know
but what Jerry is a candidate himself; If he
is, all he has to do is to announce it to his
friends and they will be on hand to nomin-
ate him.

The setting baek of the fence at the foot of
Washington street, by Mr. Langdpn, will be
appreciated by the traveling public.

Henry R. Fitch is restocking his yard with

The Look Company are very busy, and are
enlarging their foundry.

Either the architect or the masons made a
mistake in laying the brick on the new hotel
Monday, and lost about two days work. The
masons say that it was the architect’s fault,
and the architect says it was the masons;
however, it had to be taken down and laid
.Over.

We are sorry to see that the partition walls
in Mr. Ely’s new hotel are all to be of wood
above the first story. ‘

Mr. Briggs is soon to retire from the em—
ploy of Mr. Plaisted and accept .a position
with his brother in Waterbury. . Mr. Brlggs
has made many friends, while in our city,
who will be sorry to hear of his departure.

Doc. Sammis was in town last week.

Will Hoyt took a vacation of one day
(Monday) from college, to help elect his
brother Mort. to the position of registrar of
marriages, births and deaths, and he did some
good work for him. After the electlon he
acted as one of the counters.

Bob. St. John and Herman Snyder, both
.with H. VanHoosear, have been sick during

the past week.

Our city was visited by thieves on Satur-
day night. They succeeded ln getting Into
the residence of Mr. Bronson, also Mr. Mc-
Kenzy and h . Baxter’s all on Chestnut
street. They k some clothing and a small
amount of money from Mr. Bronson and
something of small value from Mr. McKenzy.
They did not succeed so well at Mr. Bax—
ter’s, as they were heard in house and
were frightened away by com the family.
It is sup sed by some that they were some

' of the thieves that attended the Danbury fair

during the past week.

Last Monday was a lively day in the city,
it being election day. Both parties did their
utmost in getting out the voters, and a large
vote was polled, and most everyone seems to
be satisfied with the result. Mr. Swartz. al-
though belonging to a arty which. is in a
minority of over a bun red votes, was elect—
ed to the position of Mayor by the handsome
majority of forty-eight. The GAZETTE of
last week was very wrong when it intimated
that as Mr. 'Ely was “pouring out money like
water” (?) that he should be elected May-
or. We would ask if Mr. Swartz has not
been doing considerable for our city in the
past five years. and if he was not entitled to
the office i’ We, think so. and that this city
is under obligations to him. He is a young
man, enterprising and has all the qualities to
make one Of our leading citizens. Let us
give credit where it is due and encourage a
man of that stamp.

A sad, though ifleslstably comical scene
was witnessed during the progress of our
election. Jerry kept “open house” and Dan
Townsend, and Jack Bartram, seized upon an
equally bibulant. democrat and suggested
that they should repair down to Jerry’s and
get up an amateur Pinafore troupe as their
chum made such a capital “Dick Dead Eye."
The bait ' took and when in the rehearsal it
came to the issriance of the order for “double

.w.n....v v: 5 5 9. W... _. “Luann, - nun
liberally carried out, that “Dick Dead Eye”
got so “seas over”_tbat his two chums had

enough to return and go on with the re-
hearsal. _

The retiring City Councilmen, or a portion
of them, seem determined to wage war
against our Fire Department to the bitter
end. They have passed a By-law forbidding
any apparatus belonging to the Department
being taken out of the city limits to any
neighboring village unless a request is first
made by the authorities _of the Town, City or
Borough wishing their aid, to the City au-
thorities and consent obtained from them.

to veto it and see it' they can pass it over
his veto. The fire boys are quite justly in—
dignant over being tied down so closely, and
are watching the course taken with marked
_interest. We dust the law will not be
passed.

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
is 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 statician food for grave thought
and yet for bright anticipation. 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’.’
