The Infamy in Maine.
The stealing of a State Government in a
time of peace, and dcspotically handing it
over toa militliry commander, as has been
done by the mad Democracy of Maine, isone
of those alarming events that not only
awaken the greatest apprehension in the
Republican but also in the considerate Dem-
ocratic mind. It is a law, written by the
finger of God on the hearts of all honest men
everywhere, to despise meanness and to
abhor a fraud like this. And was ever a
great political party so fatally prone to self—
destruction? Even the sober Democratic
journals of.the country cry out in alarm
against it, while decent Democrats all over
the land are pronouncing Garcelon's action
an infamous and suicidal crime. Do they
not see that a party that has so vehemently
declaimcd against. military State Governments
at the South, cannot. commit such despotic-
acts as this under this feigned forms of law
and live? Even the indignant Democratic
New York W07 ld of Saturday says truly that
"nothing like the proclamation made yester—
day by ‘Major General Chamberlain,’ of the
Maine militia, has ever before been seen in
American politics.” And the Commercial
aptly replies by demanding to know by
whose fault that this most extraordinary con.
dition has been brought about? Whose but
the party the World represents! For the‘first
time in the history of the country we see a
Republican State,in a time of profound peace,
without legal head, all its machinery dislodg-
ed, and its affairs in an inchoate, dangerous
condition! The spectacle is one that cannot
be too deeply deplored,for it is one that mrrst
bring the blush to the face of every Ameri—
'can who has been proud of his country, its
Constitution and institutions. A great State
’ is 'wirhout legal head, and a soldier takes
command to preserve public property the
civil authorities can no longer protect! This
is the kind of thing that might be expected
in Mexico and the South American States,
but not in the Northern State of-Mainei The
case is one every true American should mougn
over, for it shows the world that the North
American Republic may yet be the scene of
same struggles that heretofore have been con-
fined to the petty republicsof the South! 0n
whom must the responsibility rest for this
disgrace? On the Republican Party that has
made not the slightest threatening demonstra-
tiOn, though suffering unexampled oppres-
sions and injustice, or on the party that has -
inspired every revolution the American peo-
ple have been plunged in—the party, in fine.
of fraud and corruption—which brought the
civil war and all its horrors upon us ? What
crime against the basis of all republicanism -
has not that party committed? The Maine
outrage is simply the culmination of Demo—
cratic misdeeds! They have been shamefully
cheated, and the Fusionists will now have to
back squarely dowh or continue a . soldier at
the head of the Government.’
President of the Senate Lamson, has now
made up his mind that he is Governorof
Maine, but thinks that Chamberlain, who
became acting Governor when he'refused to
fill the duties of the oflice will now refuse to
recognize him.

The Hayden Trial. .
The evidence in the above case, is a
last, all in. The arguments of counsel fol-
low and will probably consume most of the
week. when the case goes :to the jury. The
case has attracted world-wide interest, from
the remarkable extent to which scientific
and expert testimony has been permitted to
run. As the guilt of the accused has not
been proven except by ciréumstantial and
a good deal of that of a pretty firmsey
qrrality, there is little doubt entertained we
' presume, even by the prosecution but that
the jury will either acquit or at the worst
disagree. Messrs. Harrison «is Waller have

attorneys for the defense. The gonduct of
Hayden’s behalf,
the case by Mr. Watrous,in _
has been simply masterly. Whatever the
decision of the jury may be, there will be
but one judgment as to the conspicuous abil-
ty and high iawyerly qualities exhibited. by
Mr. Watrous throughout. ' . '

Gen. Garfield‘s unanimous and enthusiastic
nomination for the seat to be vacated by A.
G. Thurman in 1881, is not only an evi—
dence of the domination of the stalwart
elements in the Ohio Legislature, but isa
certain indication of the solid support Ohio
may be expected-to give Secretary Sherman
for the Presidency. The people of the
country are not feeling at all unhappy at
tither indication. It is going to be very
difficult for Ohio to fill Gen. Garfield’s place
in the House.

Tnosa Flam—The boys are making them-
selves very merry over a string of ‘ frost fish
that the Editor, Ex-Mayor Daskam and
Young Attorney Hoyt bought and paid one,
Frank James for, and that Liveryman Dann
finally captured and ate! James was
arraigned before Judge Stuart on a charge
of obtaining money on false pretenses, and
was fined a dollar and costs. His excuse
was that he had in fact, three strings instead
of one and that while he went into Ed. Mer-
rill’s a minute “to see a man” some of those
Mitchell fellows slipped over and hid his
fish and ~ he never found them till next day,
when being so nearly changed to melt he
had too much rcgar’d for his first day’s custo-
mers and so went over and got them on to
Danni We are afraid that James, like so
many of his namesakes “is going wrong.”

Michael Sheedy, Esq, left us last Wednes-
day, accompanied by his daughter, to visit
the “Old folks.at hqpre" at Kilkane, Ireland.
He sailed in the Cunarder from New York
and ill be absent about two months. Mr,_
' Sheedy came to Norwalk when but a strip-
ling, and returning as he does with his ample
aldermanic proportions, his friends in the
Green Isle will be apt to think that America
is indeed “a fat land for the by’s.” He resi-
ded with President Lockwood for nineteen
years, and has been a watchman in the old
Norwalk Savings Bank for some dozen years
or more. He goes to his old‘ home with the
best wishes of his many friends, and will be.
welcomcd‘ack to the “land of the free"

adoption. Mr. She'cdy has been one of the now
rapidly growing numberof Irishmcn,who have
intelligence enough _to see that the best inter-
ests of their race in the United States are not
promoted by blindly voting the Democratic
ticket, through thick and thin. to gratify a
few place seekers. ‘

Rev. “1’. H. Boole’s Lecture.
By invitation of the Reform Association
of the Borough, the Mayor and leading citi-
Boole, will deliver his famous lecture on the
barbarism and usurpation of Liquor Legisla-
lation, at Music Hall, Wednesday evening of
this week. . ‘
An invitation has been extended to the
Reform Association of the Borough to attend
in a body, and probably there will be present
from four to five hundred of-the men who
have associated themselves together in'this
town in the name of. God and humanity to
totally abstain from the use of intoxicating
liquors, and to help one another. '
We understand, that arrangements are
mode for good singing by voices from all
parts of the towns Mr. Boole is well known
as a temperance speaker, and this lecture is
to be his best Those who expect to get a
seat will have to go early.
That we are assuming metropolitan airs
there can no longer be any doubt, forwe
now have in full operation in this town, a
policy shop, branch of an out of town es-
tablishment, from whence the drawings are
daily received by telegraph. Policy play-
ing a species of petty gambling arising out of
all our large cities and as it is easily under-
stood and requires but a few eents to operate
in a small way, is largely patronized by the
very poorest classes, particularly negroes
and those poor superstitious creatures who
place great reliance in signs and drea ms
With such it becomes a passion not easily
overcome, and we think it advisable for our
town authorities to look into the matter be—
fore it has grown into an evil,the'effects of
which are not easily eradicated. '
The meetings held last week at the First
Baptist church, under the leadership of the
pastor, assisted by Mr. W. W. Bentley, the
Gospel Singer, have been largely attended,
and full of interest. There have been several
conversions, and a number are inquiring‘thc
way of life. At the Ladies Temperance
Meeting, Sunday afternoon, and at the even—
ing service, the house was filled to its utmost
capacity, apd many were obliged to leave
he continued four evenings this week, (Mon—
day', Tuesday, Wednesday and Thhrsday,)
after which Mr. Bentley goes to‘Washington,
D. C., where he is to commence a series of
meetings next Sunday.
People might be advised to keep cool, and
not lose their heads over the notion that
their only escape from Grant is to take
Blaine, r that their only escape from Blaine
is to ta c Grant; keep cool, and look over
the ground for themselves, and be ready to.
make their conclusions felt in the state con-
ventions thatnominatc delegates to the Na-
tional Convention. It would not be a'bad
plan if each State should present in conven-
tion a different name to chose from one of
its own citizens if it have a man strong
enough and well known. It is not seemly
that we should all be scared in advance like
a flock of sheep. We might as well be pro-
vided with a number of good candidates, for
even the most prominent men are mortal,
and Grant is about to trust himself on the
Southern railroads, and Blaine may be dis-
abled again on the very‘eve of the contest.
Nobody is impervio s to. accident except

Bridgeport is rtill fear‘fully excited over
the steamboat war. The old company has
recently put on the Arrowsmitbmhich form-
erly run on the Norwalk route,and the Rose-
dalc has apparently all she can do to hold
her .vn—in fact the Arrowsmith occasion-
ally beats or corires in even. Last Friday
they nearly collided in, entering the harbor,
both boats claiming to be ahead and to have
the right of way‘. Of course neither boat
carries as much steam as the law allows and
there is no such 'thing.as racing, but when a
boat load of passengers is sent suddenly into
eternity there will be a great awakening.
Mr. W. H. Haywood came near experien-
cing a very serious accident in jumping from
the night express to the platform at South
Norwalk, Tuesday evening. He supposing
the train had slackened its speed so that he
could safely jump from the cat; steps, leaped
on to the platform in the darkness and was
instantly whirled upon his face, receiving
quite severe contusions of the head and
shoulders. Had his twirl been. inward in?
stead of outward, his life . no doubt
would have b'een the forfeit of his over-con-
fidence. Oldtravelers seem to need to be
cautioned more than amateur' excursionists.

On Thursday last news was received here
of the death of Mrs. Louisa A. Smith at her
home in .Hartford. Undertaker Raymond
at once started for that city to take charge of
the remains, and they were brought here yes-
terday for interment. Mrs Smith formerly
resided here and was well-known as the
Principal of the Hillside Seminary, an insti-
tution which flourished for many years under
her management. She first started the school
on North Avenue, but _ as it increased in
numbers she afterwards had erected the
fine building now’ occupied by Dr.‘J. C.
Fitch’s School for Boys, where she continued
her Seminary, assisted by her daughters. A
few years since she removed with her family
to Hartford, where she has since resided.
She was an energetic business woman,a leader

what she could for the moral, social and edu-
cational advancement of the community}

Mr. Harry S. White, eldest son of R.
Cornell White, Esq, of Brooklyn, died at
his father’s residence last Suuday morning.
Mr. White was well known in this vicinity,
having resided for a while on a farm in
Weston, and frequently driving to Norwalk.
Stricken by disease he gave up his residence
and sought other climes in hopes of deriving
benefit but all to no avail. ‘ His death will be
a sad blow to his devoted parents.

ing next. The sale of seats has already'been
unusually large, and the prospect is .that the

the customary variety of minstrel songs and

to win applause. , '

After the installation of the ofircers of Our
Brothers’ Lodge, last week Monday evening,
the members indulged in a supper at Fred.

affair passed off very pleasantly,_therc being
fifty or more members present. We cannot
resist the temptation ;of suggesting, how-
ever, what probably many members felt that
this practice of "treating" has already gone
too far,and should be stopped, it being undig-
nified, improper and of evil tendency. ' No
officer in any society should be allowed to
pay for honors in this manner although
he may do so ever so cheerfully and will-
' ingly.

Most .of our city churches have fur the
present, postponed their extra efforts incon-
ducting their moathly Sunday school con—
certs. The exception is the Sunday school
first to inaugurate the new plan, and has con-
tinued it successfully, without losing inter-
est. The concert of Sunday evening last .
under the direction of Mr. W. O. Seymour,-
Charles St. John and Miss Seymour, as com.-
mittee, was of greaginterest. The exercises
were opened with singing by the school, and
prayer by the superintendent. Recitation
“work for the little ones," was given by 7
missesand 4 boys. f‘Entrept me not to leave
thee” was finely sung by Miss Davis, and. was
followed by a recitation by Master Russell.
The infant class added much to the pleas'
ure and profit of the concert, by their songs.
' The subject of the evening’s concert was now
announced to be “Character” which was
illustrated by a solid unmovable foundation
and Christ proven by quotations, recited by
‘the scholars from the Bible, and by an men
over which were placed 15 blocks, secured
at the top by a key stone, called “Faith."
During the building a miss recited a. very
touching poem on “Temperance," and Miss
Annie Sellcck sang a‘ song. '
. Rev. Mr. Dunning in his remarks referred
to the foundation “Christ” and the key stone
“Faith." W. H. Benedict, superintendent.
remarked that for 43 years he had refrained
entirely from touching intoxicating drinks,
and. implored the young men to build up a
character for Temperance. The committee
for the next monthly concert is Nelson Dick-.
erman, Mr. North, Mrs. Rev. H. N. Dunning
and Miss Annie Gilbert. The exercises
closed with the singing and the Benediction.

.while preaching in the Second Presbyterian
church, at Tw‘enty-first and Walnut streets,
Philadelphia, was seized with vertigo, and
sank unconscious in the pulpit. He, how—-
ever, soon recovered, and concluded the ser-
vices. Later, when he was going t6 the
same church, the pavements were very slip-
pery from the light fall of snow that had
'frozen upon them. Shortly after starting
out Dr. Plumer slipped and fell, cutting his
face and receiving other injuries. Dr. Plum-
er was in the Oltriatidn at . Work office afew
days before the accident, looking well and
hearty. Our readers will join trs in the hope
that the venerable and venerated pastor will
soon be restored to his usual health—Olms—

Many friends in_Norwalk sympathize in‘
the sorrow that has befallen thavenci‘able
Dr. Plumer, not only in his bodily infirmity
and injury, but also in the death of his be-
loved wife, Oct. 30th, 1878, which has béen
followed by the serious protracted illness of
his eldest daughter, Eliza Douglass, caused
by ,her unremitting and devoted attention to
her mother during her long sickness. »

Norwalk Mills.
Most of our town’s people are aware of
the fact that there is situated in the north—
erly part of the town a woolen manufactory,
known as the Norwalk Mills,aud yet the'yare
without the slightest idea of the amount of
business done there, and of its importance
to the town as one its industries. There is
not in all New England a more substantial
building for the purpose than are the Nor-
walk Mills. The water privileges is good,
furnishing power for at least eleven months
in the year, and the water, which is a very
important item to the woolen manufactur-
ers, is exceedingly pure. This establish—
ment was built and equipped for what is
know as a 12 Sett Fancy Cassimere mill and
has always been run as such under the old
as well as the new company, and the goods
manufactured here havc'been and still are
first-class, having a repptationas broad as
this continent for excellence and purity.
When we say purity we mean that the
goods_manufactured at this establishment are
made from pure wool without (my admixture
of “Shoddy” or anything else that can de-
tract frdm their value. When the Norwalk
' Mills were erected and put in operation, la-
bor, material, and machinery, could only be
cost more than double what it would to
start a similar establishment at the present
time, and this without doubt, is one great
cause of the non—succcn of the old company:
The present company commenced operations
at the above namedmills, November, 1877,
by starting one-half of its machinery upon
Spring and Summer “styles” and notwith-
standing the uncertain conditions of the cloth
market, and the precarious and unsettled
condition of business generally the entire
' prodtlction was sold and a handsome profit
netted.~ _W. S. Moody, Esq., is President,
'John A. Osborn, EquAgent, and Mr. Jessie
Pollard,Superlntendent of the new company.
‘The trio are gentlemen eminently qualified
for their respectiye positions and with
such officials the success of the Norwalk
Mills, is not a problem but a fact.
The fullcapacity of the establishment has
not ben e employed during the whole year
that hasjust expired, and yet some idea may
be had of the business done and of its im—
portance to the community from the follow-
ing facts and figures. There has been 575,—
000 pounds of wool consumed; and there
has been paid for the item of labor alone
more than $60,000 and when there is added
to the above other itars such ~as coal,
dye-wares, oils, soap, and other innumera—
ble “findings”-the figures are simply start—
ling to the uninnitiated and show at a glance
the importance of skillful and cautious of—
ficials in the purchase and disbursements of
the necessary items which are “legion by
name.” The public can see that their tastes
.have been catered to whom they are inform—
ed that there have been more than 360 styles
of'goods manufactured for the .Spring and
Summer of 1880. Surely any taste from a
Harlequin to a churph deacon can be suited
out of this variety, no matter how fastidious
their tastes may be.( ‘ -
’We cannot dismiss this pleasing subject,
without a few words of commendation for
the Norwalk Mills goods, from the fact that
the aim of the company is. so diametrically
opposite to that of the majority of woolen
manufacturers in as much as nothing but the
best of wools are used in the fabrication of
their goods, and the best of results obtained
as the increasing demand for them testify.
Success t0' the Norwalk Mills and every
other establishment that aims to give an hon-
est article to an honest people, must be the
wish of every true citizen of the town.
Honesty should be the rule, and not the ex-
ception as it is in this case.
Here we will dismiss the Norwalk Mills
for the present, and on our “next appearance
before a Gaza'rrn audience,” we will dis-
cus “Shoddy” and “Shoddy Goods” at length)

The great Ameriean public know_s the
value of a good name especially when at-

Blackgnardlsm In Politics.
So many good people naturally deplore any
personal abuse in politics that it is becoming
almost fashionable to lament the deterioration
in our manner of conducting campaigns.
When some former soldier of General Grant
bears his old commander accused of a deep-
scated and long—chefrisbeddesign to subvert
the liberties of his country apd establish
himself as Dictator fer life, his first impulse
is to hold up his hands in horror at the rapid-
ity with which our newspaper criticism is
degenerating into license. And yet there is
90 particle of truth in such a belief. On the
contrary political discussions are to-day con-
ducted with a’forbeararrce and moderation
which would have seemed the perfection of
rriilk-and—‘water to the “gentlemen of the
old school” who, ninety years ago, would
cross a street in the mud rather than meet
and ’speak to an acquaintance of opposita
pblitical belief.‘ To any one who reads po-
litical literature of past years, the first nota-
ble point is the violence of the language. He
scemb'to have got into a new atmosphere.
Does a man profess himself a Federalist?
Then hé is a monarchist, a bought glavc of
English gold. an aper of Eur'opean aristocra-
cy, whose only hope is to, seduce Washing—
ton into declaring himself Dictator for life.”
Does a man profess himself a Democrat?
Then he is “a Jacobin, a revolutionist by
nature, a'lover of mob law, a thief, a scouu—
drel, and a repudiationist.” These are but a
few of the examples which might be multi-
plied indefinitely if time and'space permit-
ted. '
Take as a specimen Jefferson‘s language in
an official letter to President Washington in
1701, upon the political opinions of Hamilton
and his party. “This corrupt squadron have
manifested their disposition to get rid of the
limitations imposed by the constitution upon
the general legislation, and the ultimate
object of all this is to prepare the way for a
change from the present republican form of
government to that of a monarchy, of which
the English is to be the model.” And Ham-
ilton’s answer was to taunt Jefferson with a
design “to subvert the government, prostrate
the credit and honor of the nation, and bring
the government into contempt." And Madi-
son, shortly after, begins a series of articles
with the gentle remark that Hamilton's let~
ters “have been read with singular pleasure
and applause by the foreigners and degenerate
citizens among us who hate our republican
government.“ Surely these distinguished
citizens of the “good old times" were by no
means mealymonthed.
Washington often complained, and bitter—
ly, of the language used in criticism of his
official acts. Here is a part of the benedic-
tion bestowed upon him at the end of his
second term of office by a. Democratic news-
paper of the day. “If ever there was a time
which would license exultation that time is
now arrived; for the man who is the source
of ”all the misfortunes of our country is this
day reduced to a level . with his fellow citi-
zens, and is no lopger possessed of power to
multiply etils upon the United States. If
ever there was a period for rejoicing, this is.
the moment. Every heart in unision with
the freedom and happiness of the people
ought to beat high with exultation that the
name of Washington from this day ceases to
give currency to political iniquity and to
legalize corruption. , A new era is now open-
ing upon us—an era which promises much to
the people, for public measures must,now
stand upon their own merits,’and nefarious
projects can no longer be supported by a
name. It is asubject of the greatest aston—
ishment that a single individual should have
carried his designs on public liberty so far as
to have put in jeopardy its very existence.
Such, however, are the facts, and with these;
sfirring us in the face, this day ought to be a
jubilee in the United States i” '
If these things were done in the green tree,
is it any wonder that there should be at least
a trace of them in the dry ? There are many
now living who can remember half a score
of political campaigns in the past, and can
bear witness that, even within. twenty years,
political argument has .grown perceptibl y
milder. A large section of the country be-
lieved firmly in 1860 that Abraham Lincoln
was a full-blooded negro,and Hanibal Hamlin
a $ 1,200 mulatto. Political blackguardism‘
can hardly hope ever again to equal the level‘
of 1860 in future. And let-all rejoice thereat.
Appropos of a recent brutal affair-reported
from St. Louis, in which a pugilist fought
bare handed a bloodhound for a small sum
of money, from the effects of which the dog
' died and the man was badly. mangled. Im—
probable as it may appear,it comes'to us from
authentic sources, that a similar contest re-
ccntly took place right here in the heart of
our own town,in a low drinking place within-
a stone’s throw of the Depot, and al-
though conducted as quietly as possible at a
late hour of the'night, we understand it was
witnessed by quite a number of the sympa—
thizing admirers of both dog and map, who
is the dissolute son of swell-known citizen
of this place. The dog, although not a
bloodhound, was of the bull species and suf—
ficiently savage for the occasion. The con-
test was with the dog weapon, the month
only, the young man assuming the position
of the animal as nearly as possible, upon the
floor. Money was the motive also in this
case, the dog coming out second best, al-
though not without leaving many a cut and
bruise to mark the .youug'wretch for his bru-'
tality.‘ Comments upon such beastly affairs
are futile. ' ' ' * '

A CARD.
As highly exaggerated and totally false
reports have appeared in certain papers and
been talked up on the streets concerning the
Alice Oates Opera 00., and their treatment
at my hotel, designed to injure me, I desire
to state the following facts. The agent of
the company made a contract with me to
board 52's: peoplO during the stay of the com:-
pany in town. Instead of that number
twenty-one people came, but I went prompt-
ly to work and did my best to take’care of
them properly, gave them a supper, and
prepared rooms. From some remarks made
in my presence by members of the company,
there not having one bit of baggage, and the
caution of a friend as to their standing, I
deemed it best'to call on the meager and
ask if he would be responsible for the fifteen
extra persons. He said no, and that} must
look to each one of them for my pay, as we
would pay for only six, as per contract; as
he did not owe the others anything. Hav-
ing had sad experience in this line, and being
unable and unwilling to risk any loss, I de-
cided to ask each one for pay. This pro-
duced much indignation, but little money,
and it was not until I threatened to stopthe
play, just before the last act, that my just
claim was settled. If the manager had con-
tracted for his entire company there would
have been no 1trouble. Certainly no one
could (regret any unpleasantness more than
myself, and no fair—minded manager who
has ever put up at my house will belreve
that I made Emil; a “egress" without just
cause. as t u y,
