Editorial Letter.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22, 1880.
Dan: GAzn-rTn :- . .

The expected call—up of the Fitz John
Porter case, took an unexpected turn and
departure. Our democratic friends found it
was a popular move to pay Porter his $75.-
000 for failing to support his beleagured
brothers in arms, but popular only on the
southern side, and this dangerous sort of
popularity it was feared would prove a two-
edged sword to cut the wrong way at the
north, where they look for help in the next
Fall's Presidential struggle. The American
people should know, and realize, that the
most desperate determination exists in their
ranks, to “count in” and inaugurate at all
hazards the next President. All legislation
is shaped to this end,\nd so the leaders per-
ceiving the eager support given the Porter
Bill by the ex-Confederates, “backed water”
and had Chairman Randolph report a substi—
tute Bill referring the whole question to the
President with authority for him to take
action in the matter. So it is requieacat in
pace Fitz John Porter. -

‘ PRBSmENTIAL.

The Blaine men are the first to “open the
campaign” here by the organization of a
Presidential Club. They have “hired
a hall,” have an attractive transparency
thrown out, and hold daily sessions and
nightly meetings, and always, it is said, with
full attendance. One thing is evident. The
Grant “boomers” have taken claim at the
thorouzlinessof the Blaine Mens’ organiza-
tion, for it is found it extends to every
state, and close and constant correspondence
is kept up with leading Republicans, in their
candidates interests, throughout the entire
Union. It is conceded by candid Grant men
that during the past two weeks, especially,
the Blaine movement has made very decided
advances in several of the states, and that
were the National Convention now to be
convened, he would be very likely to lead
all other candidates. It was this convic-
tion, no doubt that led the “third termers”
to so eagerly adopt the Tribune's suggestion
of a ticket made up with Grant and Blaine.
The Blaine men strong and confident, and
reliant on actual statistics, as they claim,
naively suggest the above ticket shouldbe
reversed and say that Blaine and Grant
would be more acceptable to them and better
accord .with the true situation of the respec~
tive candidates. Some in their enthusiasm,
go so far as to assert that by Grant accept—
ing the second place, he would effectually do
away with by far the most damaging argu-
ment against his candidate—the third term
issue. That earnest and candid Republicans
in every State, do deem this proposed in-
faction of the “unwritten law,” as a most
grave question, and one fraught with serious
possible dangers in the future, as it would be
an easy matter to urge a third and fourth
term, after such a precedent is established-
Besides, they say, it would be no humiliation
for Gen. Grant to thus enter the Senate and
quote, ex-President Adams returning to the
House, ex—President Johnson to the Senate,
&c. &c. Others, who profess to “know what
they are talking about, assert that if the
Grant men are sincere and will assent to
this, after the first ballot at Chicago shall
have proven that Blaine is stronger than
Grant, an invitation will be extended Conk—
ling to accept the Port Folio of State, to
Sherman to continue as our Finance Minister,
Washburn Secretary of the Interior or Post
Master General and everything made lovely,
and everybody happy and under such auspi-
ces, certain and prospective, this Presidential
ticket would sweep the nation as the autum—
nal fires sweep the prairies.

Bounce serves a good purpose to keep up
the spirits, but does not always “pan out” to
the full of the politician’s desires, and so all
must “learn to be patient and to wait” and
to see what we shall‘see. There can be no
doubt, however, that the Blaine forces are
the most active, the best drilled, most confi-
dent and really the best informed as to the
exact situation up to date of the champions
of any of the candidates.

The surly and grossly unjust attacks upon
Honest as well as Honorable JOHN SHERMAN
in the New York Times are universally regret-
ted and condemned here. Whatever may be
Mr. Sherman’s personal peculiarities, all
know him to be a high-minded gentleman, a
most capable and industrious public servant
and a citizen and a statesman without a
blemish of dishonor upon his personal or
ofilcial character. That his name is urged
for the presidential nomination by hosts of
the clearest-headed and honest-hearted Re-
publicans of the Nation is no decelfi: excuse
for the purely personal and malicious assaults
made upon him in a paper assuming at least
to be a leading organ of its party, But the
Times always was and probably ever will be
dyspeptic and cross just before a State and
National ccnvention, and will no doubt give
in its earnest support, acc’ording to custom,to
whoever the nominee of the Chicago Conven-
tion may be,—but how much more potent
would be its usefulness and influence, if it
,lould only learn to reserve its harsh blows
for the heads of our enemies instead of
showering them down so wildly upon the
good men and true,who conspicuously adorn
the great Republican party. There are many
who think Secretary Sherman is not going to
stand in the position of a “dark horse candi:
date” by any manner of means, when the
balloting commences at Chicago.

DEMOCRATIC CONVOOATIoN.

Ex-Seuator Barnum is to be here to mar ..
shall his National Democratic Committee 611
die mcrrow and- settle upon the time and
place of holding their Presidential Nominat-
ing Convention. It is given out that the
time will be a little later than the Republican

and the place likely to be either Chicago or‘
Washington. No one familiar with our ex-
Senator's persuasive, financial methods doubts
for a moment, that the hero of cipher alley
will again be put in nomination and his“bar’l"
again untapped to the joy of hosts of patent-
outside newspaper tramps and political hum-
mers in general,

axcunsmNs.

Large number of excursion trains have
been run to Washington the present winter,
- the tickets being good for two weeks. Sev-
eral have been made up on the Jersey and
Oswego Midland roads and the trains run
through without change of cars. A large ex-
cursion train from New Hampshire has just
departed for home, and it is wondered that
similar excursions have not been gotten up in
Connecticut. as the rates of fares are reduced
to about one-half, and hotels make reasonable
contract pricesfor the entertainment of the

crowds.

PATENTS.

The past month has witnessed the largest
Msue of patents of any month since the office
was established.

The McKay shoe-sewing machine, was be-
fOIe the Senate committee on Patents on
Thursday, on an application for an extension.
One of the novel machines was brought into
the Committee room and by hand power, put
into practical operation and shoe after shoe
rapidly turned out by an expert workman.
The widow of the inventor was also present
to bear testimony in her weeds of the hard—
ships she had endured, but the statement is’
lisped about that fully three quarters of a
million of dollars were received, by the com-_-
pany now Owning the monopoly, for last year
alone and that its royalties will exceed a mil-
lion the current year, should an extension be
secured.

1.0mm crises. .

The Post Ofilee Department has made a
most thorough and exhaustive examination
of the whole lottery and other swindles com—
monly plying their schemes through the

in preparing these expositions, arguments and
mports.

CENSUS.

Our two Census Supervisors were duly re-

Senator Eaton, and the next agony will prob-
ably bc in the selection of a fair proportion
of democratic, local euumeratcrs with intel—
ligence enough to give us a fair and honest
count of our population and our. industrial
values. .

OBITUARY.

The mournfully large number Of our 'aged
and substantial citizens who have recently
passed away is sadly augmented by the death
of Bonnier Eras, who entered into rest on
Thursday last. Mr. Ells was born in 'Nor~
walk, in January, 1805. His youth was sad-
dened and his opportunities dwarfed by the
improvidence of the father, but industry and
integrity and a desire for knowledge were
deeply instilled into his youthful heart by his
noble, large-hearted, christian mother.

The writer of this simple tribute to his well
recognized worth, has been many times mov-
ed to tears, in listening to his own recitals of
“some distressful stroke his youth had' suf-
fered.” _ As soon as the child was able to do
any service he was put to live with the late
David Comstock, Sen., Winters, where by
doing “chores" he succeeded in obtaining a
few weeks schooling during the cold weath—
er, but each Spring, Summer and Autumn he
was constantly employed in doing all in his
power for the support of his brave, good
mother and her little ones.

Arriving at man’s estate, he had establish-
ed a solid character for industry, integrity
and frugality, and a relentless hate of every-
thing. that could intoxicate. He' married
Miss Elizabeth E. Bishop, a daughter of
Benjamin Bishop and a sister of George
G. Bighnp, Fig.1., who aurvivor-himr'nlgnl‘.
children were born of this union (two sons
being the junior proprietors of the Gamma)
all of whom are living and of every one of
whom, it may be in simple justice said, they
have honored him in their lives. Mr. Ells
was a man of remarkably clear comprehen-
sion-and practical wisdom. His firmness in
what be conceived to be right was proverbial
and years agone, because of this strong char-
acteristic, he was well known by the sobri-
quct of “Plymouth Rock.” In the fierce
contest which was waged in our town some
years since, in the effort to change our old-
time district schools to the present graded
system, he took a zealous part, ”and one
speech he made in the Town House in behalf
of better education will long be remember-
ed by all who heard it. Regardless of the
rules Of grammar or rhetoric, his speech was
so earnest, so direct to the point, that it was
conceded to be more convincingly eloquent
than any uttered in behalf of the schools by
our lawyers or doctors Of divinity. At its
conclusion, the writer well remembers, the
late Senator Ferry,who with most others had
been absorbingly interested in his discourse,
remarked to us that “had Robert ,Ells been
blessed with the same educational advantages
he would have been the peer of Daniel Web.
ster.” It was no idle compliment and is
appropriately recorded here. .

He united with the First Congregational
church early in life, and became a member
of St. John’s Lodge, F. & A. M. in 1820,
was one of the first members of Our Broth-
ers’ Lodge, I. 0. O. F., and was a charter
member of Concord Division, Sons of Tem-
perance.

Something over thirty years ago Mr. Ells
started the experiment of storing and selling
ice in Norwalk, and by persistent labor over-
ncame all obstacles and succeeded in establish-
ing the business with which he ‘ has ever
since been connected.

Some eight years since he had a ‘partial
sunstroke, from which he never recovered,
but has gradually declined until released by
death. Well has he run his course—in hum—
ble life it is true—yet the humblcst instru—
ments the Good Father selects, are equal to
the mightiest work He designs. To all who
mourn his departure there is this great con-
aolation, that his earthly career has closed
without a stain, and his upright character is
left as a rich heritage to wife and," children
bereaved. . , '

REDUCED FARas.-The committee appointed
by the Fairfield County members of the Leg-
islature to investigate the matter of reduced
rates on the Railroads, held a conference
with President \Vatrous last week .aud he
encouraged them to believe that the New
York, New Haven do Hartford Railroad
would soon make considerable seductions in
the price of passenger fare and in rates for
freight carriage. 0n the strength of this as—
surance the bill introduced by Mr. Colyer of
Darien, will be held in abcyancc until after
a meeting of the directors of the road.

The Now‘ffiMur'der Trish}

The secoudtrial'of'wm. Bucholz‘ffor the
murder of John H. Schulte at South Nor—
walk, in December, 1878;"1he court Came in
last Tuesday at Bridgeport, Judges Park and
Martin presiding. Tuesday and Wednesday
were consumed in the selection of eleven
jurors and the twelfth was finally accepted
on Thursday mOming. Jurors were challeng-
ed‘because they read the newspapers and
formed opinions, and one man was thrown
out because he did not read the papérs and
therefore could not be a man of average in-
telligence. As finally, constituted the jury
is as follows: _
’ William D; Gregory Of Wilton, Victor' H.
Russell of Greenwich, Frederick B. Knapp
of Greenwich, George S. Bates of Darien,
James N. Lake of Newtown, Edwin P.
White of Ridgefield, Sherman Morehouse of
Wilton, Thomas P. Bristol of Brookfield,
Henry I. BronsOn of Huntington, Charles
Beard of Huntington, Ferdinand W. Burt
of Ridgefield, Bradley Hull of Weston.

The first witness was F. Gruenwald, who
came from Germany with Schulte as his ser-
vant. He was followed by several Germans
and Mrs. W ariug, their testimony being sub-
stantially the same as before.

On Friday a new witness was intrduced, a
convict who gave the name of R. S. Hiue.
man, in jail for forgery.

 

in question. This conversation was all vol-
untary on the part of the accused. He said
that Bucholz occupied the cell next to him
and thought the witness was a detective. The
witness frequently conVersed with the accu-
sed and used to go to Bucholz's cell to cook
articles. The witness said to Bucholz that
if he could get out of jail he could do him
good. He could get some tools and cut the
bore of ”his cell and help him ’ get out. u-
cholz said if the witness could help him out
he would never regret it as they would then
go to Germany, Paris and other places and
have a good time. Bucholz said to the wit-
ness that he had a sweetheart in Germany
who thought he was in a bank and making
lots of money. The witness said he told
Bucholz that if he got out he would pledge
his word to help him out. The witness tore
up a sheet to make pants of and Bucholz
sewed them up. Bucholz told the witness
he would give $6,000 in cash to get out of.
jail. Bucholz also said to the witness they
were not so very smart or they would have
found more money. This was said in a con-
versation about Mr. Somers, the detective,
when talking about the manner in which he
got into Bucholz’s confidence. Bucholz said
he would_uot tell him where the money was,
as he was afraid if he, the witness, should
get out first and know where the money was,
he would be in the witness’ power. Bucholz
said he would fix him well if he would get
him out. He told him that Stark’s evidence
was the only evidence there was against'hi'm
and if it was not for him he would be all
right. He proposed that ,witness should go
to New York and find Stark and get him out
of the way until after the trial. Bucholz
said to witness that if it had not been for
that detective they never would have known
that he had done it, nor known 'Where the.
money was, and he would be a free man.
He said to witmess when talking about get—
ting out .of jail under a disguise that he
could color his hair and change the color of
his eyes, and wanted witness to ask Dr.
Philippi, who was also a prisoner in the jail,
if the eyes could not be colored, but not to
say that he wished to know it. Bucholz said
they could change the color of the eyes in
Geruiany. The witness had received two notes
from him. Witness first told of this conver-
saliou between himself and the accused to
detective Taylor. He read from two memo-
rauda of the words spoken by Bucholz, the
entry being made a few moments after the
conversation was had. Witness told Taylor
of this in order that he might get the money
in order that he could get .bail.

Cross-examined—He said he was born in
the state of Kentucky. When asked his
name he refused to tell until ordered by the
court. The court decided that he should
give his name. He then gave the name of
John W. Wills. He' said he was known in
New York, Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco
and other places by that name. He was
asked who he knew in New York. This he
refused to tell on the ground that it would
criminate him in other matters. The state
thought the witness should have the benefit
of his counsel in order to ascertain his r‘ivghts,
and said he had been sent for. Mr. . C.
Wildman appeared as his counsel, but the
counsel for the defence objected to his giving
the witness any instruction in the presence
of the court and jury. The court sustained
the defence and instructed the witness to
give the names of the parties in New York.
Witness then gave the name of one Burns
who was studying medicine. He could not
tell whether he was there now. or not. He
also knew one Harry Hart in Philadelphia, a
wealthy and respectable man. Also cue
Wiley of the same place, a son of a clergy-
man. He could not tell where his father
and mother lived at the present time, as he
had not had any communication from them
in about a year. When asked what he had
been doing during thepast year he replied;
“I have been buying stOcks, &c., in company
with Frank Camp.” When asked where he
was, he replied “I would like to know my-
self.” He was then asked where Camp
lived, he replied: Next door to Mr. Samuel
J. Tilden. When asked as to whether Camp
ever speculated with Mr. Tilden in stocks
he replied, “I suppose he did. I don't know
whether he did or not.” He was asked
whether he had any brothers or sisters. - He
replied, “I have a sister," but refused to
disclose her name when asked. He was
asked when he made the memorauda as to
what Bucholz said. He couldn’t tell the
date. He said he made the one in regard to
the money in order to show them to Bucholz
when they got out, so that he would act
square with him. He said he stopped at the
Paisley House in New York prior to his
going to, Utica, where he was arrested, but
could not give the date’Or under what name
be registered. He was asked what business
he was in during his traveling about from
place to place. He was then asked if he was
a man of means and replied: “Sometimes.”
When asked what business he was formerly
in he replied: “In the wholesale boot and
shoe business in Philadelphia. The court
then took a recess until two o’clock.

Considerable discussion was had on both
sides as to whether this witness should
answer several of the questions put to him
that was liable to go against him on his
coming trial. The court finally granted him
the privilege of consulting his counsel after
the noon recess in regard to answering some
of the questions asked.

Bucholz face was deeply flushed when
this witness first took the stand, and seemed

"Mr. G. W. Longstaff achieved a decided

. success in the part of Martin Heywood, his

elocution being exceptionally good. The
other bits of the performance were made by
J. B. Strange, whose acting as Bullfrog were
as excellent and effective as is often seen
on the amateur stage. Mr. W. Goddard
personated the‘ Plotting Steward, an

acted the part admirably, and F. A. Fairehild,
was well u to the requirements of his
part as the oung Squire. Mr. E. McGlinchy
displayed considerable dramatic talent as

acted their parts very satisfactorily. The
audience was quite appreciative any specially

HARTFORD, Feb. 21,1880.
ransom“! miss. '

The Senate Jilted unanimously to' approve
and adoptthe settlement of disputed boun-
bary lines between this state and New York
as recommended by the joint commission
between the two states and favorably re-
ported by a majority of the judiciary com-
mittee. The one stumbling block has been
Fisher's Islandwhich lies so near to our
shore that it would certainly be desirable to
have it within our jurisdiction. But the
fact remains that for over one hundred years
New York has heltfundisputed jurisdiction,
and to refuse to ratify the decision reached
by the recent commission will not gain us
the land, while it. will leave thc whole
boundary question as unsettled as ever. By
the proported settlement it is claimed that
we will gain undisputed right to the waters
of the sound for half the distance across, in-
cluding several islands which have always
been in dispute,and thelwhole of the valuable
oyster grounds which lie in front of our
soundcoast. The bill will be' made the or—
der of the day in the House this week.

CONNECTICUT OYSTER GROUNDS.

Messrs Robert Colt, Henry B. Graves, and
Charles W. Bell, were appointed by Gov.
AndreWS last spring, a special commission to
report a plan for the gradual disposal of the
grounds in the waters of the state which are
suitable for oyster cultivation. The com-
mission finds that most of the available
grounds for oyster planting within the limits
of the towns, other than natural beds, have
already been marked out and occupied. The
attention of “the commission has, therefore,
been devoted chiefly to the question of dis?
posing of the grounds under the waters of
the sound which are available for oyster
culture. Ultimately it is hoped that these
grounds, covering a large area, will be made
a source of profit to oyster, farmers and a
revenue to the state. The main obstacle at
present is the Want of uniform and efficient
laws, neighboring towns having diverse and
conflicting regulations. The commission
found a unanimous sentiment in fever of
state control of these fisheries, and in this
opinion they concur. They recommend the
establishment of an oyster commission of
three persons,each to have control of the oys-
ter groundslof a district; one forthe waters

 

of New Haven county, and the third for the
waters of New London and Middlesex coun-
ties. It is‘ hoped' that in this manner,
through the experience acquired by the com-
missioners. such modifications of existing
laws may be secured as are needed to foster
this growing and valuable branch of indus-
try. In this end the commission recommends"
the passage of an act to carry out the sugges-
tions and give the state exclusive Control of
the oyster grounds.

snipers naTwafiN TOWNS.

At almost every session of the “Mature
the question of maintaining bridge between
towns comes up in one form or another.
This year a bill is pending which Equires
owns between which bridges exists to pay
the cost of maintaining the same according to
the respective grand lists. A similar bill has
been:before several previousjlegislatures.

CONSOLIDATED RAILROAD.

On Friday in the House, Mr. Beardsley
of Monroe, moved to recall from raierad
commissioner’s office the lease of the Consol-
idated railroad with the Air 'Line railroad

Mr. Colyer of Darien explained that the

nothing to do with this motion,as they were
now in a fair way of getting all they sought.
The papers asked to be brought into the
House were now in the railroad commis—
sioners‘ ofilce, where any citizeh could have
access to them. Mr. Beardsley’s resolution
was rejectd. ~ ‘
SENATE Busmnss.

The bill passed in the Senate. to replace
messengers and doorkeepers after this year,
with pages, to be selected by the comptrolter
was tabled,on motien of Mr. Colyer of Darien,
to accommodate Mr. Rowan of Norwalk,who
Was absent.

"There is 'an earnest eflort being made by
the one legged and other wounded soldiers

ers to defeat theabove bill, on the ground
that they do the work than boys could, in
arranging the files on the Callandcrs Journal,
etc., ; that their appointment divides the
patronage with Hartford, who would secure
all the positions if boys were appointed by
the Comptroller, 85c. '

 

All the draught teams in the village that
could be hired were employed in hauling the
steam shovel and fixtures to section five on
[the New York and New England railway on
Thursday. The section master in charge of
the shovel it is said will employ two sets of
hands and run the machine day and night, in
order that he may the sooner enter upon a
contract lately made with the Parallel rail—
road company. The cap of the immense arch
over the highway at section four is to be re—
moved and the wall of j masonry lowered
eightaen inches, after which the cap w' be
replaced. The new survey of the ma ne-
cessitates alterations in the level of the grade

The total number of .commitments to
the Hartford County Jail during the year
ending Nov. 80, 1879 were 825. Of. this
number, 422 were habitually intemperate,
and 399 were moderate drinkers. That
leaves only 3 as total abstainers. Can a
more forcible proof, of the demoralizing
and sinful effects of rum drinkirig be
required ? If the liquor traffic could be sup-
pressed or if all the people would become
total abstainers. our jails would be compara—
tively empty, our. police would have little to
do, and taxation would 'diminish two-thirds
In view of the blessings which sobriety
brings. let us all labor and pray more earn-
estly for its advancement.

Three Things.

A thoughtful man once said that two things
settled the question of our happiness and mis-
ery, viz., our relationsto our Creator and to
women. There is one more—our relations
with our own blood in our veins. Impure
blood will produce tumors. It did so in the
case of Mrs. Walter Hinckley, of Cotuit,
Mass. The doctors could do nothing for
her. A neighbor brought from Dr. David
Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y., a bottle of his
“Favofite Remedy.” She tried it and became
better. “No woman,” writes Mrs. H., “can
mord to be ' without ‘Favorite Remedy.’ "
It will cost you only One Dollar to make the
experiment. The good result is sure. 2t?

We Can’t Talk

Without showing the condition of our teeth.
Every laugh exposes them. In order not to
be ashamed of them let us use that standard
dentifrice, SOZODON T, . which is sure to
keep them white and spotless. No tartar
can encrust them, no canker afi‘ect the’enam-
C], no species of decay infest the dental bone,
if SOZODONT is regularly used. It is a. ho-
tanical preparation, and its beneficial effects
on the teeth and gums are marvelous, as it
removes all discolorations, and renders the
gums hard and’ rosy. 41:5

The Women at Home.

Our mothers, wives, and daughters! Home
is not home at all without them. Yet they
may die and leave the house silent and sad
any day. Husbands and fathers, a word in
your ear, The ladies are not always to blame
when they are low-spirited and “cross.” They
are sick. Don’t you be fools of brutes, and
think they'll come out all right if you are
only “firm" and mean yourselves. Put a
bottle of Dr. David Kennedy’s “Favorite
Remedy" on the shelf, and tell them to use
it. The color will come back to the cheeks
and the laugh to their lips. Go and get it at
once down-town, or mail one Dollar to the

Army Experience.

The efiiciency of Warner’s Safe Pills was
first rendered unquestionable by their use in
the English army in malarial regions, where
the stomach and bowels were peculiarly sub-

the best of army medicines in such regions.

A CARD,

The extensive approval bestowed by the more
particular class of consumers in 'New .York City,
upon the French system of bottling milk, has in-
duced the owner of Ledgewood Farm to offer
through its dairy, the same advantages to a limit-
ed number of'residents of Norwalk and Vicinity.
The method will be that adopted by the “Sweet
Clover Purim? and others, name] , of serving the
dairy in its pure state. in sealed g ass bottlescon-
taining one quart. ,The promoter, uncertain of‘
the favorable reception of this system, though
fully aware ofits advantages to cor sumers, would
respectfully request that those destrous of being
supplied Will make application by letter during
the present mouth, mentioning the approxxmate
