Editorial Letter.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18, 1880.
DEAR GAZETTE :—
This is the second week since the reconve-
ning of Congress, and yet no legislation has
developed of any special interest. Senator
Bayard, of Delaware, a genuine statesman
and honest man, thongh a Democrathas been
actively supported by Senator Kernan in his
efforts to get his bill passed for eliminating
- the legal tender quality from the national
greenback. But there is no chance of the
measure passing, so hopelessly is the Demo—
cratic party, in and out of Congress, divided
on the questions of coin and paper money.
Senator Bayard has planted himself firmly
upon the old-time Democratic. platform of
metallic lilouey. He argues with wisdom,
that to maintain a position of equality ameng
the other commercial nations of the world we
must‘mak‘e gold the solid basis of our money
system. His belief is that if the United
States cannot thus maintain itself no, other
nation can, for our annual yield of the pre4
eious metals exceeds that of all the other
governments upon the globe. But there are
Greeanck votes to be bid for, and hence
Mr. Bayard will fail in all his honest efforts
for honest money.
In the House, Fernando Wood’s committee
of Ways and Means, has agreed by a major-
ity of one to reopen the last session’s ques—
tions of amending the Tariff. There are
many things that ought to be changed in our
present law. and many items perhaps may be
altered and made more just and satisfactory,
but were a bill to be perfected for an entire
and radical change of the tariff it would as
entirely fail of a passage as it did at the last
Congress. .
The “main question,” as it is fitly called.
or the political cauldron now seething in
Maine, arouses and absorbs more interest in
the popular mind here than any matter of
legislation before Congress: The audacious
attempt to steal a State government in New
England and in the interest of the same
Democratic party that inaugurated the late
rebellion, is looked upon with the greatest
apprehension. Men speak of it as notice
served upon the nation of the determination
of the desperate men in that party to again
rule or rain this Government. Right, jus-
tice, law and order must all be subverted in
the mad efforts of these “American Com-
munists” to gain political ascendancy. The
theory that majorities must rule in the United
States, is swept aside by chicaneries little
. less alarming than mob violence. In this
threatening phase of public affairs and proper-
ty interests the thoughtful and the patriotic of
all parties, are as deeply and profoundly ap—
prehensive as in the early spring of 1861.
You will frequently hcar- statesmen as well
as politiciians remark, in discussing the Maine
iniquity, that the only way to avert another
revolution in 1881, is‘lo resolutely meet and
crush out this incipient attempt at anarchy in
Maine. The only encouraging feature about
this disquieting subject is, that in 1861, so
now, the best Democrats unequivocally con-
demn the outrage in Maine, and vividly com-
prehend and dread all its dire possibilities.
To be thus forewarned is to be forearmed,
and let all who truly love their country, hope-
and pray that honest counsels may prevail to
the end that no more dire» civil strife may
curse our fair land and again drench its soil
with brothers’ blood and burden our provi-
dent people with new mountains of debt and
taxation. .
Your correspondent by lucky chance, was
enabled to “interview” the clerical politician
and Greenbacker Congressman, De LaMatyr,
the other day. He is one of those sincere
but over- zealous and ill-informed monetary
idiots, who apparently believe that by an un-.
limited issue of paper “promises to pay,”
every man, woman and child in the nation is
to be surely made rich. Men of his kidney

backs, we opinc the same hard and‘unyield—
ing demand for “good collateral security?
would be exacted by each institution, before
it would lend its money, just the same as
now. There is the rub; and it is amgzing
that men and politicians, otherwise intelli-
gent, ean’t get this fact thrpugh their heads.
Our congressional friend clearly revealed the
present purposes of the Greenbackcrs to
hominate. and run Gen. Ben. F. Butler for
President, and with a confident expectation
of thus throwing the election into the House
and forcing the Democracy 'to support himat
the peril of seeing the Republican candidate
elected. There are several quite probable
contingencies likely to arise and'spoil this
very pretty kettle of fish, but such evidently
is the rosy delusion cherished by the Na—
tional Greenbackcrs and no doubt by Gen.
‘ Butler as well. ' ‘
Gen. Guficld has again returned to his
=eat in the House, and was the receipient of
the most hearty congratulations from Demo-
cratic-and Republican fricndé alike upon his
‘eiriuous senatorial triumph in Ohio. A
c or {our Democratic members
. .. , were asked yesterday who in
1’ - is 2:11.: . would be the Republican leader
‘. - ;_, ulaen Garfield shall have passed
I vcr to the Senate. The reply was quick
and unbesitatingly given that ann. of Maine,
by common consent, would be deemed Gar-
lield’s‘ successor in that particular. Certainly
no more able or vigilant member honors the
=1\‘;-v,. . ’7‘. a:
Republican party by his presence in that
body. .
The Presidential slates continue to receive
daily additions and subtractions, but the
leading tickets, as heretofore proposed, still
remains. First, perhaps, is Grant with
' Blaine for Nice-President; then follow
Blaine with Booth, and Sherman with Wood-
ford. A ticket still more flattering to Con-
necticut State pride, was influentially sug-
gested in our presence yesterday, is Sher—
man for first place and Gen. J. R. Hawlcy
for Vice. But we opinc that the conduct of
the Confederates, in and out of Congress,
and North and East as well as. South, will
have much to do in crystalizing Republican
sentiment as to the particular persons most
likely to be nominated-at Chicago in June
next.

This has become the most fashionable and
popular Mecca in America for bridal pilgrim-
Not a day passes but the Executive
Departments are graced
by these timid, shy, and always interesting
(loves arrayed in lavender. The past week
we have had the pleasant visitation of an—
other wedding party from Norwalk. Mr.
. andlllrs. B. S.Blascer; have been domiciled at
that little palace of a hotel, the Riggs House,
since Thursday last. The happy pair were
married in New York, at the residence of the
bride’s brother, on Wednesday evening last.
by the Rev. Mr. Hamilton. Mrs. Blascer,
nee Miss Scolield is a sister also of your Mr.
Seofield, of the firnr'of Scoficld 85 Hoyt, of
Main street, and is a native of Stamford, we
believe. She is certainly a lady of much in—
telligence and refinement, and our friend.
Bla'sccr is to be most heartily congratulated
upon his rare good fortune.
The abo zippy twain were accompanied
hither by an her bridal pair from Brooklyn,
N. Y., a Mr. and Mrs. Duscnbury, who have
friends living in Norwalk. The young groom
and his "fair, sweet bride," jolncd our Nor—
walk friends in their excursion to the various
péints of interest aboatthe Nation’s Capital.
On Friday they were introduced and paid
their-respects to President Hayes, and 'ycs-
tcrday they, by special luVltatlon, attended
the evening reception given by Mrs. Hayes.
The joyous qunrtette take the Pullman traln

The Board of Trade.
There was a gathering of business men at
the GAZETTE office, on Friday evening last,
in response to the call for amceting to organ-
ize a Board of Trade, and on a statement of
the purposes of the call, a temporary organ—
ization was formed with Hon. S. E. Olmstcall
as chairman and J. B. Ells 'as Secretary. A
committee of five was then appointed to pro.
elirc copies of Constitution and By—Laws of
similar organizations,and to report a plan for
the organization of such a Beard here.
Messrs. E. J. Hill, A. H. Camp, J. W. Hy-
att, E. O. Keeler and L. S. Cole were chosen
as said committee. The meeting then ad.
journed subject to call of the committee.

The mud digger has been hard at Work the
past week, near the propeller (lock, the tug
having no ice to'enconnter in towing out the

when the propeller cannot fercc a passage

So far the propeller bashed nothing harder
than fog to contend with this season.

On Tuesday last, as Mrs. Wm.E. Beards—
ley, living on Franklin st.,‘ was crossing
the street near the corner of Union
Park and Stephen Olmstcad's place, she fell
and severely sprained he ankle, rendering
her nearly helpless. It is particularly un
fortunate just at this time as Msr. Beardsley
isstill suffering from a long and servere fit
of sickness. It would seem that the cross—
ing at that place was one of unusual danger
in the winter season, for last winter Mr.
Buckley also living ,On Franklin street, fell
and was seriously injured thbrc, and a lady
living on the park had not yet recovered
from a bad knee sprain received by a fall in
the same place last February.

The Long Island ,anncx steamer G. T.
Oliphant collided with a ferry boat in New
York harbor, last Wednesday, and sunk five
minutes after. The passengers were all saved
on another Brooklyn Ferry boat. When
timd to start the boat no signal was given
by the pilot, mid when some one went to
his station to see what was the matter he was
dead at his post. If he had died when the
boat was in the stream a'great disaster must
have occurred.

At the residence of Mr. George C. Sco—
field, No. 1,009 Madison Avenue, N. Y.
City, occurred one of those .most social and
informal gatherings of intimate friends and
kinsfolk, so seldom witnessed in thése days
of fashion and extravagance, on Wednesday
evening, January 14th. This was the occa—
'sion Of the marriage of our esteemed fellow-
citizen, B. S. Blaseer,to M. Eugenia Seofield,
of Long Ridge, Conn., the youngest sister of
the host. who seemed, with his worthy wife,
not to spare any efforts to make all enjoy
themselves'and feel perfectly at home. The
ceremony was short and very impressive,
after which the bride and groom received the
congratulations Of their relatives. The bride
Was most charmingly dressed in garnet silk
trimmed. with velvet of 'the same cplor, and
she carried a magnificent bouquet of white
rosebuds. One attractive feature of the cere-
mony was the youthful bridesmaid and
the former, and Willie Blascer as the latter,
and all were enthusiastic in the praises of
both, as they carried out their portion of the
arrangements. Everybody appeared merry,
all the details of the pro-arranged plans were
carried out without a single ‘jar or error.
About 8 p. m. the bride and groom left on a
short journey to visit Philadelphia,Baltimore

Our Town Tax Collector.
Mr. 8t.Johu the:town tax collector, has
been long at work quietly collecting the
taxes, and waiting patiently for delinquents
to make up their little accounts. The time
has come, however, when,he on wait no'
longer, and today he reluctantly commences
to advertise the property of such persons as
have failed to respond to his notices. De-
linquents should pay up at once for delay
only increases expenses.
Dr. J. G. Gregory and wife hada very
narrow escape from serious injury Monday
of last week. While taming from Main
street into their drive way they were run
into by a team coming down the street at
quitea rapid rate. The doctor's carriage
was upset and the occupants thrown out,
but fortunately escaped injury. The due—~
tor's horse behaved well or the result might
have been far different.

Fitch’s Home.
. On our to-day’s outside,will be found sun—
dry letters which we publish by request of
the venerable philanthropist Benjamin Fitch,
discussing the interest of the Darien “Home,”
which his generosity created. In a recent
interview with our aged friend, be deeply
*impressed us with his earnest desire to have
the Darien Home converted into some prac—
tical bencfaction. He fully recognized the
fact that its further usefulness as a fostering
shelter for soldier’s orphans, has for the pre-
sent at least, passed away. He would be in-
dividually glad if it could now be made to
serve the uses of a Home for crippled and
indigent soldier’s, or aged and worthy and
destitute citizens of our state, but having
still a clear business head,Mr. Fitch sees that
the Home without any self-sustaining en-
dowments, could not be thus utilized, as no
certain dependencecould be counted upon,
if its current expenses were left to the vol.
nntary contributions of our citizens. In view
of these practical facts Mn”. Fitch is disposed
as we understand him,to ask the concurrence _
\
'of the Trustees and proffer the entire pro-
perty as a free donation to the State, with no
conditions other than that it shall be forever
maintained as an asylum for- such‘destitute
and sufiering persons as may fall to the lot of
our state to pr0vide for. and support, we
most ardently' hope that Mr. Fitch’s present
and highly practical and commendable pur-
poses, may receive the hearty cooperation of
the Trustees of the Home and of the present
Legislature of our State.

The situation in Maine has been greatly
changed since our last issue, and for the bet-.
ter. During the week the Republican mem-
bers Of the Legislature assembled, organ-
ized both houses, submitted their case
to the Supreme 'Court, and adjourned to
await the verdict, promising to abide by the
decision. In the meantime Gen. Chamber—
lain baving declined to recognize Lamson as
acting—Governor, the Democratic Houses,
without a quorum, proceeded to elect n
Governor, choosing Smith and allowing
Garcelon to retire to the practice of his pro—
fession. Smith served a notice at once upon
Chamberlain to abdicate, but that official
preferred to await the decison of the Court.
The Court decided the case in favor of the
Republican legislature, which.thcn proceeded
to elect Mr. Davis as Governor, andcomplet -
ed the organization of both Houses. Mr
Davis was sworn in, and submitted the
decision ofithe Court to Gen. Chamberlain
who recognized him' lis the legally elected
Governor, dilly qualified. Smith is said to
have ordered out three companies of militia,
but 'his' authority was not recognized.
'Several members of the Fusion House have
taken seats in the legally elected House' and
it is hoped that others ‘will follow. As the
Fusionists fail to find any force to back up
their orders, it is evident that they must sub-
mit sooner or later. May the right speedilyl
prevail and that without bloodshed.

Waiting for the Verdict.
The Hayden case was given to the jury on
Friday” noon last. The charge of Judge Park
was deemed unfavorable to the prisoner, but
the jury seem to be in no hurry to make up
their minds for they are still out. No anxie-
ty~ need be felt for them, for they fare
sumptuously every day and are furnished
comfortable sleeping quarters every night.
Sunday night they are reported to have held
a sort of praise meeting which they started
off with “Lord dismiss us with thy blessing.”
It is evident that their will no. bra-a f“ a
verdict of guilty, and that they [W111 fall to
agree. .
P. S.-—The jury came in yesterday after—
noon and reported that they could not agree.
The judge then sent them back and told
them to remain until they could agree. So
some juror must surrender his strong belief
in order that the jury may“ get “Out of Bond-
age.” .
Among the possible presidential candl-
datés to be presented at the next Republican
National Conventlon, the name of Gen.
Chamberlain of Maine ought to train the

rare {executive “power, in such a trying
ordeal as that just passed through in‘ Maine,
and who by good judgment and perfect
handling of the means at his command suc-

certainly be trusted and is worthy of being

Leglslatlvc COrrespondence,
The work of this session has fairly corn-
menccd, Wednesday, February 4th has been
fixed upon as the last day for receiving new
business. It is already evident that the
usual amount of legislative work will be
done. In point of ability the present Legis—
lature will compare favorably with others
that have preceded it. The Senate is
stronger than last year, Messrs. Brewster,
of Danbury, and Coit, of New London, are
a gain to that body, but a loss to the House.
Messrs. David P. Nichols ofDaubury,Repub-
lican, Dwight Morris of Bridgeport, Demo-
,crat, Colyer, of ' Darien, Rowan, of
Norwalk, Johnson, of Easton,‘ Belden, of
Wilton,.Lcc, of Ridgefie‘d, Lyman Mead, of
Greenwich, all Republicans, are among the
more experienced men from! Fairfield Co.
and will keep their end of the State well up
to the work. Five chairmanships of import-
ant committees fall to their share.
Colyer—3Education.
Nichols—Finance.
Johnson—School Fund.
Beldcn—Fisheries. ‘
Rowan—FedrarlRelations.
The Governorls message was well received,
and an extra number of cepics ordered print-
ed. 1113 recommendation for a survey of
the State and a new map, is all ready to
report back favorably from the Committee
on Education, and the Governor is requested

~cials in the Way of expenditures.

Snwnn Gas axn DISEASE.—-Tlle authorities
at one of the largest hospitals in London
lately took measures to ventilate all thevdrains
and sewers in connection with their institu—
tions. Up tc the time these alterations were
made, pyaamla and erypsipelas had almost
driven the medical staff to despair. When
the whole of the ventilation was completed,
and as soon as the pressure was removed
from the traps of the closets and laboratories,
no fresh cases were found to occur. For
months the hoapital wards were free from
both erysipelas and ppmrnia. Suddenly, how-
ever, there was a. fresh outbreak of these
diseases, but it was noticed that the epi—
demic was confined to one of the surgical
wards, built apart from the main building.
on _the pavilion plan, and having only one
story. Close investigation proved that the
ventilation pipe in ;this wing had been
stopped up by a careless workman, When
this was remedied,'all traces of the epidemic
disappeared.-

Obituary 701' Mrs. Louisa A. Smith.
Will the GAZETTE permit a friend to add
a few words to what was so well said, edito-
rially, last week, respecting this estimable
lady. “Mrs; Smith formerly resided here"——‘
not only being a native, and descendant on
her father's side from some of the oldest
families of Norwalk. Her mother was of
the Judah family, of Westport-oue of the
most beautiful of women,sister of the mother
of John H. and WilliamKeyser, and of the
well known clergyman of the Episcopal
church, formerly rector at Bridgeport and
Troy, Rev. Henry P". Judah .
Hnr father,Captain William Gregory Betts,
early commanded vessels and died of yellow.
fever at Kingston, on the Island of Jamaica,
West Indicsfat the early age of 37, on the
12th of January, 1 25—on' which day, 55
years after, Mrs. S. was buried. A slab, sa-
cred to his memory, stands in the cemetery
on Town Hous'e Hill, by the side of the
graves of his father and mother. Tilly. father,
William Maltby Betts, so long postmaster of
Norwalk, married a sister of Capt. Gregory,
father of Commodore F. H. Gregory. An-
other of their children .as Hon. Thaddeus
Betts, U. S.Scnator, and another! still was the
mother of Wm. B. Swan.
Mrs. Smith grew up here in great loveli—
ness, and was educated in our Norwnlk Aca
dcmy when it. could boast of such preceptors
as Hawley Olmstcad, Willis Hall and Edwin
Hall. At the.car1y age of “sweet sixteen"
she was married to the brother of Mrs. Ed-
win Hoyt, then a prosperous hardware mer—
chant here, in the house now Occupied by
George R. Cowlcs,Esq., so near to which
she now‘slecps. '
In the midst of great trials and sore be
rcavements she bore herself with great for—
titude and dignity, exhibiting indomitable
energy" ”or oha-nnvl'VI, urru ner life as a
mother and a teacher, were well summarized,
in the Gazrr'r'rn of last week, and her funeral
services were fittingly conducted by Rev. C.
M. Selleek, and attended by many friends.

THE SUN .
E’OR 1880.
The Sax will deal with the events of the year
t, 1880 in its own fashion now pretty well under-
stood by everybody. From January 1 to Decem-
ber 31 rtzwill be conducted asancwspapcrwritten
1n] the English language and printed for the peo-

1)As a newspaper THE Sex believes in getting
all t _e news of the world promptly, and present-
ing 1 in the mostprescntablc shape—the shape
that will enable its readers to keep well abreast
ol the age with the least unproductive expendi-
ture of tlme. ,The greatest interest to the great-
'cst number—that is the law controlling its daily
make-up. It now has a circulation very much
larger than that cl‘ any other American news pa-
per, and enjoys an income which it is at all times
prepared to spend liberally for the benclltol‘ its
readers. People 01' all conditions 01' life and of
all ways Qt thinking buy and read l.l'ul-z SUN; and
they all derive satisfactidn of some sort lrorn its
columns, for they keep on buying and reading i t.
' Inits comments on men and affairs, The Sex
believes that the only grille of policy should be
common sense, inspired by genuine American
principles and backed by honesty of purpose.
For this reason it is,and will continue to be, ab-
solutely independent of party, class, clique, or~
ganization or interest. It is for all, but of none.
It Will continue to praise what is good and repro-
batc what is evil, taking care that its language is
-to the porn: and plain, beyond the possibility of
being misunderstood. It is uninfiuenced by the
motives that do not appear on the surface: it
has no opinions to sell, save those which may be
had-by an purchaser for two cents. It hates in-
justice an. rascalitv even more than it hates un
necessary words. It abhors— frauds, pitiesfools.
and deplorcs uineompoops of every species. it
will continue throughout the year 1880 to chas-
tise the first class, instruct the second, and (llS<
countenance the third. All honest men, with
honest convictions, whether sound or mistaken,
are its friends. _And TIIE- SUN makes no bones
of telling the truth to its friends and about its
iriends whenever occasion arlscs for plain speak-
ing. 4
These are the principles upon which THE SUN
will be eonductcdduring theyear to come.
The yearJSSO will be one- In which no patriotic
American can afford to close his eves to public
Address I. W. ENGLAND, Publisher of “The
affairs. It is impossible to exaggnrate the im-
portance of the political events which .11: has in
store, or the necessity of resolute vigilance on
the part or every citizen who desires to preserve
.the Government that the founders gave us. The
debates and acts 01' Congress, the utterances of
the press,the exciting contests or thcnepnblrcan
and Democratic parties. now near-l equal. m
strength throughout the country, t e varying
drilt of public sentiment. will all bear directly
and effectively upon the twenty-fourth Presiden-
tial election, to be held in November. Four years
ago next November, the will of the nation, as
expressed at the polls. was thwarted by an abom-
inable conspiracy, the prompters and beneficia—
rics of which still hold the Offices which they
stole. Will the crime of 1876 be repeated in 1880?
The past decade of years opened with a. corrupt,
cxtravavant and insolent Administration in-
trenched at Washington. THE SUN did some-
thing toward dislodging the gang and breaking
its power. The some men are now intriguing to
restore their leader and themselves to places
from which they were driven by the indignation
of the people. Will they succeed ? The coming
year will bring the answers to these momentous
questions. Tun SUN will be on hand to chronicle
the facts as they are developed. and to exhibit
them clearly and fearlessly in their relations to
exfiedlcncy and right. -
Thus with a habit of philosophical good humor
in looking at the minor affairs of life,and in great
things a'stcadfast purpose to .maintain the rights
ofllle people and the principles of the Constitu-
tion against all aggressors, THE SUN is prepared
to write a truthtul, instructive, and at the same
time entertaining history of 1850.
