WASHINGTON, Feb. 29, 1880.
DEAR GAZETTE :—
Our good friend ex-Senator Barnum, has
had his army of “pet lambs" in convention
here, and the 22d of June is the time, and
Cincinnati the place, for holding the august
Democratic National Convention to ratify the
cx-Senator’s rc—nomination of sly old Sammy
for President. The delegates from the rival
cities competing for the honor of holding the
convention within their corporate limits,
came tearing into town all Saturday and
Sunday last, and by Monday morning their
. “head quarters" were as near like a bee yard,
after an enraged bovine had upset the hives.
as anything we can liken it to. There is
always such an exuberance and intensity,
about the average democratic delegate,
especially when fully steamed up with his
habitual fire-water, that be instantly becomes .
an object of combined interest and wonder,
if not of admiration. There was a very
.vpiTitcd contest over the time the convention
should be held, but when it came to the place,
the contest waxed into the fiercest sort of a
rough and tumble scramble and scrimmage.
One of the Ohio delegates, with frantic voice
and gesticulat‘lons, announced that “Cincin—
nati gave the country the last democratic
President it had ever had, and the same good
luck would surely follow convening the next
convention there. This exultant reference
to old James Buchanan, set the Confederate
delegates wild, and they set themselves
solidly towards the great hog emporium
amidst the most deafening yells. But the
more thoughtful trimmers winked their eyes
as wisely as if they had been entirely sober,
and it was plain to see, did not enjoy so em—
phatic a calling up.and enthusiastic recep-
tion of the'rebel memories of Buchanan's
administration under which the treason'was
hatched and matured and launched, that
involved- the country in rivers of fraternal
blood and oceans of debt and taxation. The
~‘Washington Sunday Herald,” the most able
and conservative democratic paper at the
Capital, very solemnly admonished the in-
coming delegates last Sunday, that they were
to consider, that “much was due their con-
federalc associates. and that their preferen-
ces and wishes were to be complied with
because of “the very composition of the
Democracy—consisting as it does so largely
of men lately in insurrection”—and it was
the confederate preponderation that settled
the locality in favor of Cincinnati. There
was the usual amount of scolding and swear-
ing on the part of the disappointed ones, but
the jolly Ohioans adjourned to their head—
quarters which . were soon fairly afloat with
Bourbon Whiskey and other democratic
drink. The St. Louis democratic organ, the
Post-Dszatch,'vexed because its city did not
win, says :— '
“The claims of St. Louis to the National
Convention were defeated by bad generalship
and a big drunk." _
We fear the charge is too true, from what
little we saw of the afiair. One of the Cin-
cinnati delegates however, on his return
home gave this version of how it was
done” :-—- .
“Tom Hartshornc, one of the representa-
tives sent from Cincinnati to Washington to
further the claims of the Queen City for the
democratic national convention, has returned
home jubilant over the triumph. When
asked what arguments were used, he respond-
ed : “It was won by hard work and a good
deal of talk; we told them everything; I
nose I must have told a thousand lies my-
self. I told them, among other things, that
there was oceans of beer for three cents a
glass, and that there’d be a pipe run right
from each brewery in the city into Music
Hall, and that all could drink their fill free
of charge. That brought them to .a dead
certainty. Free beer on a hot day, in a hot
convention, ain’t to he laughed at. But hang
it all! I’m afraid we won’t be able to keep
our promise, as most of the brewers-are dutch-
republicans.
It. was also urged in favor of Cincinnati
that was close on the borders of Kentucky and
nothing but a short ferry separated the city
from unlimited quantities of the best demo—
cratic stimulant in the world.
The contest over the question of time was
more amicably adjusted. Many favored
calling the convention before the Republican,
but. a majority took the ground that they
should limp along behind,according to custom
so as to be able to take advantage of any
blunders the Republicans might make. Oh
this point the Sunday Herald was also thus
dogmatic :
It will not do for a party which asks the
country to trust it with the control of the
Government to be forever tagging alopg in
the rear of its adversary, and taking it for
granted that its platform and candidate must
depend in any degree upon the sort of plat—
form and candidate which that adversary
puts forward. . .
The waiting policy is a cowardly policy.
It has-proved fatal before, and there is no
probability that such a patent. confession of
weakness and lack of definite purpose wrll
_ prove otherwise thanharmful now.
Then, anent this halting attitude of the
Democracy, Don Piatt’s democratic Capitol
reminds them that
“The Democracy in Congress is steadily
pursuing the old undertakers style of walking
about softly and speaking with bated breath,
as if there was a corpse in the house.”
When it meets in caucus the caucus does
nothing but warn itself not to speak aloud——
does nothing that may “fetch on a general
engagement.” . _ .
And really the organlzatlon hasnothrng to
say. It is not only without principles, but it
is without opinions. The Oily Gammon it.
has made Speaker is a fair representative of
the entire mass. He is as near a vacuum as
nature allows. Holding his seat in the House
upon Republican votes, he has but one dis-
tinguishing quality, and that is his smooth,
olcaginous nature that is so apparent that,
were he to venture into the oil regions of his
own State, he would have a pump thrust into
him in fifteen minutes, from the force of sur-
face indications.
The Democracy is resolvcdinto one p‘ank :
“The belief in a name and hope of an office.”
How brilliantly successful the party has
been under this sort of policy the story
of the last six years tells us more plainly
than the writing upon the wall told Belshaz~
zar. . -
The Democracy has been weighed by the
ecplc and found wanting. .
When the masses rose in their wrath and
digust at the corruptness and abuse of the
Republican party under Grant, the Democ-
racy was rcturned to the House With a
' majority of seventy—five.
To—day its continuance in power depends
upon their ousting old Godlove S. Orth.
mThc work of thc:Democracy has been con-
fined t-c cutting down the appropriations
without touching the expenditures, while all
the monstrous evils growing out of a perver.
sion of our Government are left undisturbed.
The
shifted positions without removing the pain.
The patient who was howling in agony on
his sides goes on howling in anth on his
back. . '
We are prepared to offer a large_ reward
to every man who will tell us the difference
between the Democracy and the Republicans
other than what maybe found in a name. ,
How all this differs from “the Democracy
of history.” One turns wondering from this
political jell~flsh to the bold, defiant and
aggressive organization of the same name in
the past.”‘ ,

He was found to be profoundly ignorant of
whether Mr. Tilden desired to be a candi-
date again or not and ‘assured us that he had
never exchanged a word with him on the
subject. He was more pronounced however,
on our side of the Presidential issue. He
much apparent sincerity, expressed his dc
light at the prospect, assuring us that be
deemed him the easiest candidate for them
to defeat. We are inclined to put some faith
in his assertions concerning Grant, but when
his brother democrats, opposed to Tilden,
come around and assure the ex-Senator of
slicing at this very moment, overrunning the
whole South with his agents, engaged in
contracting for their delegations to_Cincin-
nail in detail, our crcdulity is a little over-
straincd. It seems to be conceded that
Thurman has gained nothing by the conven-
lion meeting in his state. Indeed, that Til—
den will be renominatcd by hook or by crook,
none seem to seriously doubt. Even the
effort made by the committee to get the two
thirds rule abolished is looked upon as a
Tilden maneuverc by dissenting democrats.
Was ever seen a “more distressful" party?
REPUBLICAN rnoerc'rs.
The New York Convention, in the opinion
of many, settles the question of Grant lead-
ing at Chicago. But Blaine’s champions
seem to be more thoroughly encouraged than
ever. They say this settles the matter in so
far as General Grant is concerned. ‘That he
cannot possibly be nominated except at the
as Grant will not tolerate. Others who pre—
fer merely “the best man” and have no set-
tled, personal afiiiliation, argue that Grant
and Blaine are most likely to be evenly
impossible and in such event, the Grant sup—
port would go to Washburne and the Blaine
men mostly to Sherman, in which event,
Sherman would be certain to win the nomi-
nation, as he undoubtedly has a strong
support throughout the southern delegations.
There is some local interest to Connecticut,
growing out of the various theories. One is,
in the event of Sherman’s nomination, that
our Gen. Hawleystands a leading chance for
second place on the ticket. Another is, that
in event of Grant’s nomination Marshall
Jewell will have a good show for the same
place as no eastern man could better furnish
the civilian balance to the General's ticket.
The statement that Jewell is outspoken for
Grant. and Hawlcy for Sherman, suggest
these possibilities as the reasons for the faith
that is in them. The forgiving spirit of
Jewell in this connection, is made a subject
of frequent mention and jocular comment.
The unfair and bitter attacks made on See.
Sherman have unquestionably ' greatly
strengthened his prospects.
The speech of Senator Conkling at the
Utica convention is deemed the key-note of
the forthcoming campaign, and all who are
familiar with the rebel mutterings and
threats here, well know that there is abun-
dant cause for the great Senator’s grave
warnings.
CONGRESSIONAL Tim's.
There has been no legislation of any general
interest the past week. Senator Edmunds,
who wields a Damascus blade, rose in‘execu-
live session to oppose a confirmation because
he said the man had been a defaulter. Thur-
man jumped up and said the man was from
his State. He had not intended saying my
thing,but when Vermont began shying bricks
at an Ohio man he must resent it. Edmunds
instantly retbrted that it had got so of late
that one could not shy a brick in any direc-
tion without hitting an Ohio man,thus bring-
ing the logy Senate down on Thurman. In
the House, the other day, a debate on the
mail service caused Gen. Hewley to explain
that he had had nothing to do with the Post
Office Department paying $25,000 extra to
the Consolidated Road for running up the
early New York newspaper train, and indeed
said it was averse to his interests because he
published a paper at Hartford. ‘ ‘Then," said
his interrogator, “we are made to understand
by the gentleman’s admission that the people
of Hartford don’t want to read his paper,”
and a great laugh followed this remarkable
sally of wit. But then it is well to remem
bet that a funny incident so tame that it
would escape notice among the children of
a country school house,will oftlimcs set Con-
gress into uproarious laughter. Reprcsenta—

and opportunely defended Chairman Reagan
and Speaker Randall from the false accusa—
tions of. an over—zealous scribe.

sion case occupied the time of the Senate
committee again on Thursday.
The Gill hat body forming extension case,
reported ' adversely by the House Patent
Committee, is to be reopened and another
hearing given it.

Piatt‘s “Captital” furnishes the following
pleasant personals :
Senator Carpenter—Matt. Carpenter as he
is called—is popular because of his pleasant
naturalness of manner. John P. Jones, of
Nevada. one of the brainlest men in the Sen-
ate. is simply lovable in his ways.
But of all princes of cod fellows give us
Blaine—Jim Blaine- of aine. Possessed of
more personal magnetism than any popular
leader since Henry Clay, he gives it full
swing, because he can afford it. There is no
man living, drunk or sober, who would dare
slap Blaine on the back and call him Jim;
and yet every one feels near him, as if he
would like to put an arm about his neck and
say: “You dear, good fellow. I know you
are a devil ; but I love you all the same.”
As ever, B.
State’s Attorney Olmstead evidently be-
lieves that “blo'od will tell," for he-had a
Boston expert to testify in regard to the
blood found on the Waring family axe and
Bucholz clothing. Now if we wuld only
have a little expert testimony on arsenic in?
troduoed, this end of the State might hold
its head almost as high as New Haven.
Recent disclosures in the Maine caliSpira-
cy case will be startling reading for the friends
of honest government. It is shown that

turns “fatally defective” that returns
made in a similar manner by democrats

ficials for correction according to instruc—
tions, or corrected at Augusta, and out-and-

mitted in order to count out the Republicans-

held in the Borough of Norwalk, and evinced
the deep interest of our people in the cause
of saving the fallen. On both evenings the
Hall was crowded with People, and ‘on the
last night was fairly packed. Elaborate ar—
rangements had been made by the committees
and so far as we can hear all were well served
by the small army of workers. Various
manufacturing establishments of the Borough
were largely represented in the management
and took charge of special features. After
the supper the net proceeds were found to
amount to_the handsome sum of,$586, when
additional contributions were voluntered
swelling the amount to $602.29. The Asso-
ciation is to be congratulated upon its almost
unheard of success. That the funds thus
obtained may be wisely used and be the
means of accomplishing great good is the
wish of every true friend of humanity.

Entertainments.
Last January we announced the return
from London, of Miss Kate Field, and her
intended appearance in Norwalk at an early
day, in her new and novel musical" monolo—
gue "Eyes and Ears in London.” Owing to
the sickness of Mr. Lombard, her manager,
the tour has been necessarily deferred until
thepre'sent time. Miss Field is a woman of
great ability and versatility having gained re-
nown in this and the old country as a journ-
alist, actress, lecturer and vocalist. Of her
new entertainment the following from the
New York Tribune will give an excellent
idea :—e
“It has been heard at private rehearsals in
this city, and is admired for its variety,
piquant playfulness and brilliant vocalism.
The entertainment is a musical monologue,
illustrative of the scattered aspects of social
life in London. Miss Field speaks a run-
ning commentary on different subjects—here
and there imitating a character, singing a
song, telling a story and reproducing some
characteristic colloquy. Tbe'music has been
written for her by Mr. Grossmith; the text
is of her own composition. The design is to
amuse, by a light, touch and- o satire upon
the fashionable foibles of ondon society.
Miss Field shows decided growth in dramat
ic ability, sings with spirit and finish, and
exerts a comic humor that is remarkable in a
woman—for, as has often been noticed,
women in general have no humor at all,
neither the sense of it nor the faculty.”
This. will be her second public appear-
ance in America since her return. Next
week she goes to Boston.

Gilmore’s “Columbia.”
The Grand Concert by Gil more’s Band, of
New York, is to take place next Saturday
evening, at Music Hall. Mr. Gilmore, of
Boston Jubilee fame, will wield the baton,
and there will be vocal as will as instrument-
al music. The production of Mr Gilmore’s
‘National Anthem, “Columbia,” will he a
grand feature, in which a local chorus will
participate. This will be one of the grand-
est concerts ever given iu town, and seats
should be secured at once. Of a recent per-
formance in Boston the Herald says:
“Encores were' the rule rather than the
exception, and the audience was well nigh
exhausted with its 'rcpeatcd demonstrations
of applause before the presentation of “Col--
umbla,“ the finale, and, in point of novelty,
the crowning attraction of the evening."
We are requested to say that thelocal sing-
ers who are to take part in the chorus are
requested to meet at the First Congregation—
al Church, on Friday evening next, at 7:30.

Reduction of Fares.
The reduction: of fares promised on the
New York, New Haven 8.7 Hartford Railroad
has finally been announced, to take effect
April 1st. The reduction; is only on local
rates and amounts to ten per cent. This will
make the rate between Norwalk and New
York $1.04—cleveu cents less than at pres—
ent. Why not call it an even dollar ass

History of Fairfield County
Agents are now in town canvassing for the
proposed History of Fairfield County, which
will be published in fine style by Messrs. J.‘
W. Lewis & Co , of Philadelphia, if sufiicient
encouragement is given by the public. . The
book will“ necessarily cost the publishers a
large amount. to bring out in the handsome
manner which they propose, and they show
proper caution in first feeling the public
pulse. Tile contemplated work will be full
and complete, comprising histories of all the
towns, with all matters worthy of record.
We hope the agent will be ctlrdially received
by our people, and allovved to show the scope
ofthc work, style, «Sac.
We regret to leiiru that Mr. Harlem has

spite by taking a “pot shut? .at the back of
any distinguished officer who rashly exposed
himself by advancing too far in front of the
linc against the common enemy. For some
time past‘the New York Times has been in-
dulging some personal spite of its‘own in the
same honorable fashion. ' The Secretary of
the Treasury, Mr. John Sherman, instead of
lurking behind the lines and “waiting for the
call of the party," etc, before making head
against Democracy, has taken up like a man
the duty nearest-his hand and has done it
nobly and well; has frankly declared his wil-
lingness,if necessary,to serve either as ofilcer
or private; and has shown his capacity for
command by advancing so far in front of the
line that he has become a fair mark for any
one who prefers a Republican back to a Dem-
ocratic front for that purpose. Whereupon
the Times promptly turns its guns upon him,
and, by editorials, correspondence, and all
the machinery of newspaper warfare, endeav-
ors to make things unpleasant for the Secre-
tary. Wherever a suspicious local politician’s
imagination sees traces of the Treasury's
workings, a hint to the Times brings a correq
spondcnt to dose out “another of John Sher—
man’s manipulations." And the editorial
columns of the paper daily show the Secre-
tary as an ubiquitous schemcr, now at work
in California, to-morrow in-Florida, and next
day in Maine, to compass his own nomina'
tion. Every rise and fall in stocks is attribu-
ted to his cunning devices for increasing his
own chances, and if any lucky rain storm
should haply result in the appointment of
Sherman delegates at a county convention it
would probably be ascribed to John Sher-
man’s artful influences over the Weather
Bureau.
"Who makes the quartern loafand Luddltes rise?
Who fills the butcher shops with large blue flies ?”
John Sherm on!
Now we need hardly say that the GAZETTE
has no particular choice as yet for the Presi-
dential nomination. Any one of a number
who have been suggested would suit us as a
standard bearer. But we protest against
these cowardly efiorts to smirch the record
of a man whose record has never yet been
smirched, to turn a candid expression of
willingness to serve a party into a scheme for
controlling the party, and to,perhaps, furnish
Democratic newspapers in advance with
bushels of campaign extracts from “the .pre—
vious and honest opinions of that distin-
guished Republican journal, the New York
Time, as to Mr. John Sherman.” TheTt'mes
forgets that it is not the absolute property of
its nominal owners, but that it belongs in
some measure to the great Republican party
throughout the Union which in the long‘past
has admired it,supporte‘d it,and made it what
it is. ' It has ' no right in simple honor
and honesty to use its influence, thus ac-
quired, to weaken the character of one who
possibly may be the candidate which the
Times itself, however unwillingly, will sup-
port in the rapidly approaching campaign.
If Mr. Sherman’s brilliant success in estab-
lishing the public credit upon a solid footing,
in restoring honest money to, ourpockets
and our accounts, and in checkmating the
enemies of the national finances, is not
enough to armor him against the petty spite
of some influential conductor _of the Times,
let that paper at least treasure up its concen-
trated venom until the Chicago convention
has acted. If that body nominates 'John
Sherman let the Times bolt the nomination,“
it is so mad as to do so, and "attAck the nomi-
nce as it sees fit. If John Sherman is not
nominated. it can then openly attack him as
a “convention wrecker" without endangering
party success by party treason.
Mr. Sherman comes of a Norwalk family.
The GAZETTE is interested that no injustice
shall be done him, without its protest, for
Norwalk claims some property in him as it
dmu all those from its limits who have
but p a new “Land of Steady Habits” in
Ohio, and have naturalized there a multitude
of such Connecticut township names as Nor-
walk, Fairfield, Ridgefield, Sherman, Lyme,
New Haven, &c. If he is nominated for the
Presidency in J unc we can safely promise
him as hearty a support and as heavy a vote
in Fairfield county, Connecticut, as in the
Connecticut district of Ohio. Whether he
is or is not nominated the GAZETTE is proud
to avow its belief that he is, as he always has
been, a pure and upright man, who will
not do a mean thing even to be made Presi-
dent thereby, upon whose shoulders rests
easily and fittingly the mantle of Alexander
Hamilton, the first great Secretary of the
Treasury, and to Whom may Well he attribut-
ed Webster’s glowing tribute to Hamilton:
“He touched the corpse of American credit,
and it rose upon its feet.” ’

You have seen persons afflicted with ery-
sipelas ? Well, it as an awful thing. It dis-
figures the face almost beyond recognition
and is as dangerous as it is repulsive. “St.
Anthony’s Fire." Mr. S. B. Carpenter, of
Grandville, N. Y., had it in both legs, and
was cured by Dr. David Kennedy‘s “Favor-
ite Remed .” His health is now perfect.
“Favorite emedy" is the very life of the
blood. It cannot hurt you and is sure to help.

The Ashtabula, (Ohio) Telegraph, edited
by James'Reed, Esq., formerly of this place
and long editor of theiGAzn'r'ra, contains the
following tribute to a life-long friend :_-.—-
Minimum—Died at Norwalk, Ct., 'on
the 17th inst, MrJRoberLElll, a native
of the: towufin his 76th’fiyear. He was a
familiar friend of the writer, from boyhood.
who revered and honored his worth and
sturdy and manly virtues. Without the ad'-
vantages of education, and gaining a liveli—
hood by his daily labor, he was a character,
and his reputation was such as any man
might envy. The golden rule was his model
and stern integrity and principle regulated
his daily walk. Duty was never neglected
or forgotten. The powers of his strong and
well balanced mind were available for ex-
emplifying and defending his principles and
professions—prominent amon which were
religion and temperance. e, however,
never wavered or flagged in the discharge
of his whole duty. The post of duty was
to him the post of honor. and neither in,—
timidation, threats, or impending sacrifice
deterred him from his pu ose. His was
the purity and stearnness o the puritan. of
whom he became the synonym, and died
with the 1mm do plume of “Plymouth Rock”
—a name alike honored and conferring honor.
His name and memory are a legacy to the
community he has left, worthy of monument-
{ill-corpmexmoration. All honor and peace to
is as es
A CARD.
At a regular meeting'of OUE Bnornnns'
LODGE, I. 0.0. F., No. 10, the following res-
olutions were adopted :—
NoEWALx, CONN Feb. 28, 1880.
We are again reminded of the uncertainty
of human life, by the providence of God, in
fizmoving from our circle, Brother Roaaa'r
us.
As a citizen among us, he was always a
warm advocate of the right, boldly defending
what be deemed was for the good of his fel-
low-men ;—warm in his sympathies for the
weak and owing, he was one with whom
also suffering heart could with safety con -
e.
His life was marked by the strictest ad-
herence to the principles of honesty and up-
rightness. Let us then emulate his example
by doing our duty faithfully, fearlessly—pre-
paring ourselves for whatever God in His
providence, may call us to pass through.
'l‘o mourning friends, we tender our
heartfe sympathy in this their bereavement,
and point with confidence to an all wise God
in whom alone‘ the sorrowing heart finds
consolation. ,, .

In Memory _
0f Bno. ROBERT ELLs, a Charter member
of Concord Division, No. 2, Sons of Temper—
ance, who for nearly thirty-six years was a
true and faithful member; whose death sev-
ers another link in the chain that binds the
years long gone by in the histor of the Di-
vision with the present ; whose life was veri-
fied in the language of .Holy Writ as found
in the Proverbs: “The hoary head is a
crown of glory: if itbefound in the way of
righteousness."
The undersigned Committee to whom was
referred the reporting of suitable resolutions
on the death of our deceased brother would
respectfully submit the following for consid-
eration and adoption by the Division:
WnEiullAs, God in His wisdom has re-
moved by death our aged brother and called
him from labor to rest; and in view of the
uncertainty of life and the certainty of death,
and
. . eas, From his long and faithful ser—
vice in the cause of God and his fellow-man,
his life and character is worthyof our imita-
tion, therefore
Resolved, That it becomes us to bow in
humble submission to the Divine Will, re-
membering that life is uncertain and that
death is sure, therefore let us heed the words
of Scripture that, “Whatsoever thy hand
findeth to do, do it with thy might, for there
is no work, nor device, nor knowledge in the
grave whither thou goest.”.
Resolved, That we recognize in our de-
parted brother one who possessed firmness of
principle, strong convictions of duty, earnest-
ness and decision of purpose, a remarkable
Committee.
Christ as the sinner's Friend and Savior, and
we have the assurance that he possessed the
Christian hope of a blessed immortality.
Resolved, That these resolutions be re.
corded on the minutes of the Division and
published in the No'RWALx Guerra, and
that a copy be sent, properly attested, and
placedl in the hands of the family of the de—
cease .
