Editorial Letter.
, WASHINGTON, Jan. 25, 1880.
DEAR GAzETTE :—
A very. lively contest was waged in the
Senate the past week, over the Bayard reso-
lution, further illustrating the want of
‘- harmony between the hard and soft money
wings of the democracy: Senator Beck, of
.Kentucky bourbon fame, and Senator Coke
of Texas, each occupied an entire day in
trying to convince the Senate, and more
especially their own limited constituencies,
that the finances of the nation would surely
go to the “demnition pow-wowsfi’ if the
Bayard resolution retiring legal tenders and
substituting actual coin, were to becomea
law. The beautiful consistency of these
democratic arguments is made conspicuous
by the historical fact that the modern
“Greenbackers” now in Congress. were the
most hostile opposers of the whole Green—
back system when Secretary Chase first
launched it as an imperative war measure
upon the country. But modern democracy
is only consistent in its inconsistencies.
TARIFF. .
There was an important conference of the
democratic members of the committee on
ways and 'means, yesterday. The object
was to come to some conclusion as to
whether or no a general tariff‘bill should be
reported at this session. The sentiment ex-
pressed was decidedly against any' bill in
lump, but there was .a disposition to make
some changes in the existing law, but in
separate bills, and to let each change recom-
mended takc its chances in the House on its
merits. -
MAINE.
The exciting rep'orts of the past twenty—
four hours, as to the further revolutionary
acts and purposes of the fusionists in Maine,
have reawakened the most serious solicitude.
A call upon the President for military inter-
vention is freely discussed, but no two seem
to have the same idea asto the mode and
manner that such intervention is to be
justifiably brought about. The hope is,
among cool—headed democrats here, as well
as among democrats elsewhere, that the
‘ people of Maine will exhibit pafriotism
enough to peacably settle this last attempt at
revolution. Here, it is universally charged.
that the' whole Maine conspiracy had its
inception. and is now furnished with all
its pecuniary' support by the same subtle
genius in New York who purchased eleaoral
votes and by cipher despalches, sought to
foist himself upon the American peopleas
their President. It is further claimed, that
by a sort of “stop thief” cry of. having been
cheated out of the last Presidency, the,
desperate followers of, the fortunes .of Mr.
Tilden, are now determined to seize and
possess the next Presidency at any and all
,, hazards. This incipient resolution set on
foot in Maine, is due notice served upon the
country of such determination. 'To the mad
and frenzied camp followers of Mr. Tilden,
.the next Presidential campaign is to be
waged not on the old time principle of a
majorit-I of votes, but upon the gamesters
fraudulent device of “heads I win, and tails
you lose." Among a large number of so
called leaders, the intent and purpose to
“count in" the next democratic candidate
for President without regard to the state of
the vote, is well known and'even indis—
creetly boasted of in public places. In the
delicate opinion of many calm, reasoning
statesmen, nothing but the firmest resistance
and most patriotic repression of the baser
and now dominant elements ofthe democratic
party, on the part of its best and ablest
leaders, will' save us from revolution in the
event of the election of the Republican
next fall. This is an alarming
» " political outlook, but neverthe—
npprehension haunts the minds (if
rand thoughtful men, in and out
s
THE onusus.
Gen. Walker is having a severe test given
his high-toned civil service theories. Ten
years ago he selected the best Republicans
he could find in all the states for his‘su'pervi-
sors and enumerators, and the very est
census ever taken in this country was the re-
sult. So conspicuously correct and complete
was the General’s administration of his im-
portant ofilce then, that by a sort of common
consent he was selected out in the public
mind to conduct the forthcoming enumera—
- tion. But unhappily for Gen. Walker's own
peace of mind, if not for 'the accuracy of the
work, he has been following the line of the
later political philosophers as to “civil ser—
vice reform” (2) in his selection of his assist—
ants throughout the states. He has honestly
striven to select and make his subordinates
as nearly non-partisan as possible. Those
Whoha've canvassed his list of supervisors
for the states state that about two—thirds of
the. whole number are or have been affiliated
with the Republican party, and fully one
third are unregenerate Democrats. To this
Republian preponderance. the Democratic
majority in the Senate is breathing out
threatenings and slaughter. In order to get
the batch duly confirmed,it is said, the Presi-
dent must now withdraw various Republican
nominees and give the Democrats at least
an equal political division. Had Gen. Wal-
ker presented to the President for adoption a
clean list of Republicans, it is confidently
I believed the Democratic, Senate would have
accepted the situation as a matter of course,
the same as they do in nominations for post-
masters, made no contest, but in conceding
'to them at all encourages them to demand
more. and thus a contest is kindled by the
very means our civil service reformers adopt
to avoid it. .. When will our Republican
friends learn worldly wisdom from theepracg
tices of our political enemies. The millenium
has not yet come upon the earth, either to
church or state, and that church which
should select its deacons and other ofiicers
from a differing denomination to administer
its affairs, would be just as worldly-wise as
that political magnate, be he President,Secre-
tary or Governor, who goes into the ranks of
his political opponents to select subordinates
to administer his political trusts. If a man’s
religious or political views are worth enter—
taining at all they are worth sustaining by
all proper means, and most certainly by the
employment of those in harmony with his
honestly and intelligently conceived convic-
tions.
No sooner did the Democrats get control
of the House than every Republican em—
ployee, from page up to chief clerk. was
ousted 'to make places for those of the house-
hold of faith. The picture of our retreating
army of sleeveless Union Soldiers. and the
sound of wooden pegs as other legless heroes
walked out to give their places to ex-Con—
federatcs, was not a pleasing sight to Repub-
lican eyes, yet it was the political right of our
opponents, and they hurried with indecent
haste to gobble it all and strengthen their
party by it. A still more despicable figure
Was cut by the “grave and reverend senators”
the moment the political control of the Sen—
ate passed into their hands. Old employees,
some of nearly half a century of service,
who came in under early Democratic admin-
istrations, were ruthlessly put out, and into
every possible place a Democrat and oftimes
unrepentant Confederate was thrust and in-
- stalled. This seramble for places became so
. inten'sethat our Democratic senators fell to
fierce quarreling among themselves because
some had more and others less than their fair
proportion of the appointments. Our good
friend, Senator Eaton, was and is now sound-
ly berated by some of his fellow Democratic
senators because he, with his Yankee activ-
ity and enterprise, got more Connecticut men
in than did some of his sleepy political asso—,
ciates ih that body. This does not raise us
to the high and flowery ideals of our modern
civil service reformers, but it is just what
the Democrats always giro us, when they
have a chance, and there be those not too-
wise to learn and profit by the examples set
them by their adversaries. The. recent des-
\
\
perate scramble for the places at the Senate
can in no way be better illustrated than in
the figure so often seen in a farmer’s yard
when the swill is being poured down the
trough. Thestronger swine rush pell-mell
and plant énouts and fore feet in the trough
while the less fortunate stand behind split-
ting the air with their piteous squealing for
the auctions feed. As inelegant as the figure
may be to apathetic minds, it is nevertheless
the way the old-time Democracy maintained
its political ascendancy in this government
for a half century, and in a practical party
sense this democratic theory is correct. Their
rule and invariable practice that “to the vici-
tor belong the spoils," is aspractically true in
partizan campaigns as in war. No political
party deserves an existence that is not worth
sustaining.
STRANGE DEATHS.
Last Monday a Mr. J. W. Stanton, an
aged gentleman from Stoniugton, Conn,
died at the Ebbit House in consequence of
a slight cut from a glass vjal he received a
few days previous in New York. He had
the best medical attendance and every atten—
tion from Mr. Willard and other guests of
the house, but gangrene set in and he died
after intense suffering.
Yesterday, a guest at the Metropolitan
jumped headlong from a third story window
and dashed his brains out on a pile of glass
bottles in the rear yard below. He was from
Virginia and supposed to be temporarily
insane. ,
/ Last night two colored roughs» grappled
with each other on the Georgetown bridge
and scuffled themselves over its side and into”
the Potomac-and were both drowned.
THE WEATHER.
Oldest inhabitants here, affirm that never
did the sunshine of a Florida winter so con—
tinuously mellow and brighten Washington
skies. The Sun-here very truthfully says
that up to date our winter has_been an en—
tirely theo‘retical one, established on author—
ity of the almanac alone, and not marred by
Lany of the usual phenomena of winter. ‘All
the season the yellow jasmine has been in
bloom; the field daisies have scarcely
failed for a single morning toturn' their
bright faces up to the sun, and on Saturday
last we. observed a number of‘ out-door
strawberry plants in full blossom. It is a
peculiarity of all seasons, we believe, that
nobody can recollect one anything likeit, but
the winter of 1879—80 has so far certainly
been an exceptional one,so far as mild weather
is concerned. , ‘ ‘ . '
PERSONALS.
The ' city of New Haven, with wise fore-
thought, has sent on a committee, consisting
of cx-Mayor Lewis, Postmaster Sperry and
Capt. Townsend, to look aftc'r their harbor
appropriatiori, The result will be an intell—
\
' igent and adequate appropriation.
Err-Congressman and ex—U. S. Commis-
sioner of Patents and ex—Rail Road Presi—
dent Wm. D. Bishop and wife, are at Wil-
lard?s, expecting to remain a month. Quite
' 'a' number of delegates are here looking after
proposed changes in the tariff.
‘ "‘_”M'r's. Julia E. Smith Parker, of Glaston-
bh‘i'y,‘ ' the aged Women’s Rights Reformer,
is here accompanied by Elizabeth C. Champ-
ion, of Connecticut, as delegates to the na-
tional Woman’s Convention. .
guest of Rev. Peter Parker. .
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Allen and Mr. and
Mrs. Brainerd, of Hartford, are here. Ex—
Senator Barnum is hourly expected in the
interests of the National Democratic com-
mittee. -
Mr. Bentley came here direct from Nor-
walk, and is still singing at the E Street
Baptist Church. He was accompanied here
by Mrs Youmans, the Temperance Lecturer,
and her husband. Mrs. Youmaus lectured
here several times. ‘ . . _
A vote of thanks was introduced and pass-
ed, at the Woman's National Convention,
on Thursday, to Gov. Andrews, of Connec—
ticut, but what it was all about or for. did
not appear either in the preamble or resolve:
It.was none the less heartily on unanimously
passed however. , -

has been visiting friends here, has returned

It is a wonder that more people‘ have not
been killed at the railroad crossing, Main
street, city. . It is an exceedingly dangerous
crossing, especially in. summer when crowds
of people cross the tracks on their way too
and from the steamboat. People who are
most familiar with its dangers have been in
constant fear of fatal accidents at that point
cast are specially dangerous because they
cannot be seen until close‘upon the crossing,
and they often come -in at a high rate of
speed. The one flag man at the crossing
probably does his best to prevent accidents,
but we have seen him almost frantic in his
efforts to keep carriages from the boat clear
of the track when a train was approaching
from the east. The only safety is in gates
swinging across the public roads when a train
is due and over the track when a train has
passed, as in Springfield, Montreal,- and other
northern cities. They might be a nuisance
in a certain sense, but a ._n_ai_saace which
would be as‘cbeerfull-y submitted to as the
law compelling traifiaiécome, 10.0.1011 stop
before crossing drawbridges. ,.

The situation in Maine still continues uu~
satisfactory. Both legislatures are still in
session. Upon information that the Fusion-
ists were preparing to capture the State
House and hold it by force, Gov. Davis
called out the militia and placed several
companies on guard. As he' is backed up by
the Courts‘and the militia, he is evidently
master of the situation, and peace and quiet—
ness must soon ensue.‘
The jury in the Haydenmurder case was
finally discharged last Monday night, having
failed to agree. One juror stood out for'
murder in the second degree, and all the rest
favored acquittal. Mr. Hayden was then
remanded to prison where he is still waiting
the slow movements of the lawyers. Having.
so signally failed to convict_ after such an
exhaustive and costly trial, the State should
enter a Mlle at once. There is no prospect
of a new trial, and to keep the man in prison
on indefinitely looks like- malicious spite. He
may be guilty but if his guilt cannot be
proven he should be set free. '
Found Drowned.
A man named Arthur M.ell,of Stamford,
was found drowned in the harbor, at South
Norwalk, about 4 o’clock on Sunday after-
noon. 'He Came here on a vessel, and was
supposed to have gone home on the ears.
An inquest was held, and the verdict given
that he came to his death by falling over—
board in attempting to go on board while in
a state of intoxication.
A Fatal Accident.
-A strange accident occurred at Winnipauk,
on Thursday nightlast, resulting in the death
of a young man named James Ross, aged 22
years. . He was sitting up reading by the
light of a kerosene lamp after the family had
retired. Just how the accident occurred is
not known, but his father heard his cries and
rushing into the room found his clothing in
flames, and the lamp broken.‘ He was so
badly burned that the doctors who were sum-
moned could give no encouragement. He
died the next day.

a journalist. He was given a position in the
GAZETTE Office where he remained several
years, subsequently removing to the Most

nals. His" father died, and his southern
property is supposed to have greatly depre—
ciated during the war. Young Gilbert made
several trips home to look after affairs, but
with what success is not known. -He was an

The Coldest Town on the Globe.
People who are not satisfied with New
York winter weather, may go to a town
which Humboldt and other travelers have
pronounced the coldest on the globe. , This
is Jakatsk (or Yakootsk,) chief town of the
province of that name in Eastern Siberia, on
the left bank of the river Lena, 62 deg. 1
min. north, longitude, 119 deg. 44 min. east,
and distant from. St. Petersbnrg 5,921 miles.
The ground remains contidunlly frozen to
the depth of 300 feet, except in midsummer,
"when it thaws 3 feet at the surface. Dur—
ing ten days in August the thermometer
‘hiarks 85 dcgrces,‘but from November to
February it ranges from 42 to 68 degrees
below zero, and the river is solid ice for
nine months out of twelve. The entire in—
dustry of the place—population about 5,000
——is comprised in candle-works, and yet it is
the principal market of Eastern Siberia for
traffic with the hunting tribes of the Burials
The former, mostly nomadic, baviuglarge
herds of horses and cattle, bring to market
butter, which is sent on horseback to the
port of Okhotsk. The Burials, also noma—
dic, bring quantities of skins of sables, foxes,
martins, hares, squirrels and the like, and
many of them are sold at the great fair in
June, which wilh May, is the active period
of the year. In May the collected goods are
conveyed to the seaports, whence they are
sent in every direction. The merchandise,
chiefly furs and mammoth tusks, sold at the
fair amount in value to 400,000 roubles ($300,-
000.)—N. Y. World. ~ .
A water Spaniel recently followed his mas-

and while wagging his tail briskly got too
close to an oily shaft, which was making
150 revolutionsper minute. The hairs were

before the dog got ready'to wag his tail the
other way. Immediately there Was yelping.,
The shaft made 37ivrevolntions in fifteen
seconds; and the dog likewise. before his
master discovered his predicament and shut
the gate. After his adventure the spaniel
was very much out of breath, but was not
seriously hurt.

Legislative Correspondence.
HARTFOEDJJ an. 24th, 1880.
The proposition for the State to appro-'
priate $3,000 towards celebrating the centen-
tennial of the “Battle of Groton Heights,"
“Massacre of Fort Griswold," “Burning of
New London,” September 6th, 1881, meets
with unexpected favor. The resolution has
been reported “favorably" from the House
committee on Finance, and will come up for
debate early this week. The Hartford
(Jam-ant favors it. The Evening Post says :
“There is a feeling among the more con—
servative citizensvthat it would be abad
precedent for tho Legislature to make the
proposed appropriation of $3,000 in aid of
Groton centennial celebration. Such enter—
prises, it is thought, belong to the communi
ties interested and to such persons as they
can induce to contribute.”
THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.
The graduating exercises of the first class

THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION.
is about to present a new law to elevate the
standard of publIc school-teaching through—
out the State, Practically it puts the whole
p0wer of appointing teachers into the hands
of the State Board. First the board appgints
a County Board of Examiners, who after
satisfactory examinations, grant certificates
to teachers for from six months to three
years, according to qualifications. Second,
it appoints a State Board of Examiners, who
after careful investigation, appoint teachers
of the higher grades of study for from three
years, seven years and for life.

Query. .
Why do we find a member 'of the Board of
“Assessors sitting with the Board of Relief.
Have the people been so unfortunate as to
select imcompetent men on the Board of
Relief, who are unable to judge ,forthem—
selves as to the proper valuation of‘property?
If so it devolves on the people to exercise
better discretion in' the future.
The Board of Assessors have completed
their labors, and ought to retire from the
field. The Legislature has wisely provided a
second Board called a “Board of Relief," to
whom thejpeople may go for relief, whose
duties are to “equalize and adjust the valua—
tion and assessment lists of the town” and
who ought to- act independently of any
opinion of any Individual or Board of indi-
viduals. .
The law created these two Boards with
separate and distinct functions, and each to
act independently of the- other, and dis—
tinctly marks out the course each is to opur—
sue. ‘
Hence we see no prOpriety in a joint board
of-the Assessors and Board of Relief, no law
or custom authorizing it, but very bad taste
on the part of the Board of Relief in per-
mitting it. 4
Further, it is exceedingly unpleasant to be
set upon by the Board of Assessors when
seeking relief from those whose business
alone it is to grant it.
We venture to hope the Board of Relief
will act on their own unbiased judgment on
the claims presented for equalization, and
not be governed by the opinions of those
who have nothing t0_say in the matter at
this time. A Tax Pavel:

We are not in the habit of pufilng any sort

lend aid to what may be an imposition. But
we happen to know Dr. David Kennedy, of
Rondout, N. Y., and can personally testify
to the excellence of the medicine which the
doctor calls “Favorite Remedy.” And if a
word of ours will persuade anybody to use
it and thus find relief from suffering, no
professional etiquette shall hinder us from
saying that word. For diseases of the blood,
kidneys and bowels, it has no equal. We
would not be without it for five times the

In Memoriam.
Death has again entered our midst, and
taken from our ranks, one whose life as an.
Odd Fellow, outranks the history of this
Lodge.
By the death of the late Past Grand Asa
E. SMITII, this branch of the Universal Order
of Odd Fellows, loses another of its charter
members. .
In its early history, our departed Brother
was zealous and unceasing in his efforts to
iestablisb the principles of our order in this
communit’, and in laying broad and deep,
the founda ions of .Our Brothers Lodge.
We. therefore, deem it fitting, that an ex-
pression of our appreciation of the character .
and worth of our late Brother should be
given, not only as an exhibition of his official I
relations with us, but in those also which he
sustained, as an active and valued citizen.
- Although modest and unassuming in charac-
ter, yet he was often called by his fellow
citizens to positions of rcsponsihllity and
trust, the duties of which were dlschargcd
with rare fidelity and success.
His departure, has broken one more link
in that chain, which binds the early, with
the late history of this Lodge. Let it be the
aim of each surviving member, by his in—
creased activity and interest, so to cement
these severed links, that its iuture usefulness
and prosperity may be worthy of its found—
ers. ,
We tender to the bereaved family, our
warmest sympathies in this, their sorrow,
and for their consolation, would point them,
to the rich legacy, which our deceased
Brother has left, in the remembrance of a
long life well spent, crowned with earthly
success, and laid down in the glorious hope
of a blessed immortality.
Resolved, that these minutes be spread
upon the records of this Lodge, also publish—
ed in the Norwalk GAZETTE, and that an,
engrossed copy properly attested, be put in
the hands of the widow of our late Brother.

I As a newspaper THE SUN believes in getting
all the news of the world promptly, and present-
ing It in the most presentable shape—the shape
that will enable its readers to keep well abreast
of the age with the least unproductive expendi-
tllc of tune. The greatest interest to the great--
est number—that is Illclaw controlling its daily
make-up. It now has a circulation very much
larger than that. of any other American newspa-
per, and enjoys an income which It is at all times
prepared to spend liberally for the benefit of its
readers. People of all coudItIons of life and of
all ways or thinking buy and read 'I‘IIIa SUN ;' and
they all derive satisfaction of _sornc sort Irom its
columns, for they keep on buying and reading it.
Iuits comments on men and affairs, 'IIIE Sux
believes that the only gnldc of policy should be
common sense, inspired by genulne American
principles and backed by honesty ol‘purposc.
For this reason it Is,aud will conunne l0 bc, ab-
solutely independent of party, class, clique. or-
ganization or interest. It is for all, but of none.
It will contlnuc to praise what is good and repro~
bate what is evil, taking care that Its language is
to the point and plain. beyond the possibility of
being misunderstood. It Is uninfiuenccd by the
motives that do not appear on the surface: it
has no opinions to sell. save those which may be
had by any purchaser for two cents. It hates in-
justice and I-uscality even more than it hates IIn
necessary words. It abhors frauds, pitics fools.
and deplorcs nincompoops of evcrv species. it
will continue throughout. the year 1880 to chas-
tise the first. class, instruct the second, and dis-
cofintcnance the third. All honest men, with
ll est convict-ions. whether sound or mistaken,
are its friends. And Tm:- SUN makes no bones
of telllng the truth to Its friends and about its
friends whenever occasion arises for plain speak-
1112.
These are the principles upon which THE SUN
will be conductedduring'thc'year to come.
The year 18.20 will be one In wlIIch no patriotic
American can afford to close his eyes to public
ofi‘airs. It is impossible to exaggerate the im-
portance ol‘the political Events which it has in
store, or the ucccssrtv of resolute vigilance on ‘
the part of every citizen who desires to preserve
the Government that the founders gave us. The
debates and acts ol'ConIrI'ess, the utterances of
the press,the exciting contests of the Republican
and Democratic parties. now nearly equal in
strength throughout the country, the varying
drift of public sentiment, will all bear diréclly
and efi‘ectlvcly upon the twenty-fourth Presiden-
tial election, to be held in November. Four years
ago ncxt November, the will of the natioil, as
expressed at the polls. was Ihwarted by an abom-
Iuable conspiracy, the promptcrs and bcneficia- .
rics of which still hold the oifiws which they
snolc. Will the crime 01‘1876 be repeated in 1830?
The past decade ol‘ycars opened with a corrupt,
extravagant and insolcnt Administration in-
trench‘c at Washington. Tm: aux did some—
thing toward dislollging the gang and breaking
Its power. The same men are now intriguing to
restore their leader and themselves to phiccs
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. TIII; SUN will be on hand to chronicle
the facts as they are developed. and to exhibit
them clearly and fearlessly in their relations to
expediency null right.
Thus with a habit of'philosophicai good humor
inlookiug atlirc miner affairs of lifc,zmrl in great
thlugs a sieaol'ast purpose to maintain the rights
of the people and the principles of the Constitu-
tion against all aggressors. TIIE SUN is prepared
to write a trutlIIuI. instructive. and at the same
time entertaining history of 1580.
