WASHINGTON, March 28, 1880.
DEAR GAZETTE :—
'l‘he coldest wave of the entire winter
swept over the Capital the past week. For
tin: flat time long processions of ice carts
woresc’cu passing through the city streets
laden with ice of a home production. It was
about three inches thick and broken into
smallhits and dumped loosely into the ice
houses, it is said, and then when filled the
top surface is sprinkled and allowed to con-
gi-al solidly over the mass, and the crop is
saved for use for meat mark? and ice
Cl'cfilll manufacturers. Thus i is again
proved that it is an ill wind that blows no
one good. The joy of the ice men is more
than counterbalanced by the fears of the fruit.
men that the severe freezing will kill the
berry and peach crops. ‘

The Senate adjourned over from Thursday
to Monday to allow the pious clementsflin
that body to enjoy the Good Friday exercises-
which is made much of here in the. many
Episcopal and Catholic churches. The House
refused to adjourn but spent the day in idle
wrangling just as it: had the entire week.
The week’s quarrel resulted from a sharp but
unsuccessful attempt of Representative
Townshend, of Illinois, to refer a free
trade resolution to the Committee on the
ltevision pf the Laws instead of to the Ways
and Means Committee. This was in direct
violation of the rules and was stealthily
carried to the wrong committee by purposely
omitting allsuggestion of its subject matter
from the title of the bill. When the decep—
tion was discovered next morning the battle
opened and a dead lock was maintained all
the week. ‘
run near snssrox.
Some of the sdenes during Wednesday
night’s session were of a farcial charactcr,
with one episode Of a more serious nature.
Mr. Cofireth, of Pennsylvania, who is a high
tariff Dcmocrat,happened to be under the
voice of Congressman Blackburn. The latter
was denouncing Speaker Randall. He said
that he was a traitor‘to the Democratic party,
and that it would be much better if he would
move, bag and baggage, into the Republican
camp. Cofiroth interrupted Blackburn in his
denunciation of the Speaker, and said, “I will
not stand idly by and allow you to thus Speak
of my colleague, and if you persistIin doing
so I think I would feel justified in striking’
you." "Well,” retorted Blackburn, “you
have heard what I have said, and if you
mean to say that what I have said is not true
you are a liar.” At this Coffroth made a
menacing gesture towards Blackburn, but a
demonstration between the two was averted
by friends. AS Cofiroth moved away he
said, “You say, Col. Blackburn, that the
Speaker is a traitor to the Democratic party.
There is one charge you cannot impute to
him and that is that he ever was a traitor to
his country.”
or THE AMUSING scans
There was one particularly comical.‘ Mr.
Frost, of Missouri, who is the youngest
member of the House, was arraigned at the
bar and asked what excuse he had to offer for
his absence. The Sergeant—at—Arms had
dragged him from a dinner party, and he
was arrayed in full evening flrcss. His
excuse was that he had long sought to catch
the Speaker’s eye, and had never succeeded.
It gratified him, however, to be placed in a
position where he could'gct such recognition
at last. I
ma. nonnsox’s DINNER rAnrr.
At one time Secretary Robeson and several
members who had been dining with him were
brought up in a group. The err-Secretary
made an excuse that. he thought the good
sense of the gentleman from Kentucky would
have constrained him to have given up the
fight and let the House have adjourned long
ago. The others said they had been more
agreeably employed than in either fillibuster-
ing or watching fimbustcrers. Mr. Hellman,
of Pennsylvania, who was asked what his
excuse was for his absence, made answer in
the Gerrflu language, which provoked hearty
laughter, as follows: “Da Wir niehts thatcu
ging Ich und kanfte mir Eisenbahn Billette
um nach Hans zu gehen auf zehn Tage
. Urlaub.” ' . '
The session was prolonged to‘ near one
”clock in the morning. The general judg-
ment is that as far as any effect upon the
political sentiment of the country is concern-
ed, the Democrats are the sufferers by this
collision. Their party is divided and parti-
ally demoralizcd, while the Republicans
are solid and harmonious. The free trade
Democrats censure their party in Congress
because Of its failure to accomplish any tariff
legislation, while the protectionists curse the
folly of introducing the subject. There are
.froe traders among the Republicans, but as
our party is in the minority, and therefore
not responsible for legislation. can afford to
vote with the leaders on their own sideof
the House to keep alive the questionthat
divides the Democracy. It; is apparent
that the free traders are in the minority on
this question as it stands, and their ultimate
defeat will not be calculated to inspire any
better feeling among the Democratic breth-
ren. ‘ . .
Gen. Hawlcy took an active and spirited
part in the debate—looking is a my out of
the exasperating snarle.
A DISORDEBLY nousa.
The present House of Representatives, the
Republican says, will outrank any of its
predecessors in the amount of noise and
confusion which prevails during its ordinary
business session. Outsiders have been more
rigidly excluded during the present session
than ever before, but, it has only served to
show that they were not responsible for the
disorder which has never to such an extent
as now, prevailed. , » .
Whenever a debate occurs, members leave
their Seats in the rear and crowd up near the
Speaker’s desk to hear the debate. and when
nothing to attract special attention is going
on, members gather in groupes all about, and
engage in loud and often boisterous conver—
sations, making it impossible for the member
addressing the House to be heard.
No DUEL.
There has sheen a great deal Of loose talk
about the Capitol that Senator Hill would
challenge Senator Kellogg to mortal combat
on account of the severe flagellation he gave
him the other day on the occasion .of the
malignant report he made against the Louisi-
ana Senator. The people need not get
excited over this matter, for though Kellogg
is the soul of bravery, there is no danger of
bloodshed, for the other chap is rather frugal
as a hero. If Kellogg Should take Jessie
Raymond‘s baby in his arms and go for Hill,
he would drive him out of town. Ben is
evidently very much afraid of. that baby.
The likeness is too faithful to represent an
accident, at least so says the Washington
Republican. .
Anent Jessie and the baby, it is reported
that. Senator Hill’s friends have packed both
off on the cars for Georgia, the mother
showing a liberal roll of greenbacks to the
reporters at the depot, and saying that She
lied been “settled with.” '
POLITICAL.
Ex Senator Barnum has been here Several
days in conference with Speaker Randall
and other leading democratic politicians.
rIihc ‘ Chairman of the National Committee
has lost none of his faith in his ability to
secure the renOmination of his friend Tildcn.
Mr. Barnum is ready to exhaust the highest
arts of party manipulation as well as com—
~ A
mercial sagacity, to secure that result. A
defeat of Tildcn in the convention of his
party, would be interpreted as well, a per—
sonal defeat of his ablest champion, Mr.
Barnum. The Enknator is also credited
with revealing while here, a state secret as
to his party’s plans in Connecticut. The
democracy of our state, are according to the
Story, to put in nominationIthe very strong—
est possible State ticket. This includes
Ex-Governor Hubbard to again head their
procession. A most determined effort iS
then to be made to carry their State ticket
and the Legislature. Special contributions
and special work are to becontributcd. Not
only seven, but seventy times seven “mules"
will be bestowed and any obligation in the
party ranks to the candidacy of Tildcn to
be more than swallowed up in the general
whoop and hurrah of this fierce and fervent
canvass in little Cbnnccticut. '
It. may safely be concluded from these
“leakages" that the Republicans of Connecti-
cut arc to have no easy “walk over” the
political course this fall, but must be careful
to put in nomination a State ticket of even
greater ability and character.

Gen. II. E. Paine, the recent able Com—
missioner Of Patents, has resigned. The
cause is the old one, unrcmunerative salary.
He resumes the practice of Law again with
his former partners. Several names are
presented as his probable successor, but Sec.
Schurz’s well known consistent adherrencc
to his own civil service theories, will most
likely lead to the advancement of Assistant
Commissioner Doolittle. “Mr. D’s. long and
faithful service in the Patent Office and his
repeated filling (rd—interim of the Commis—
sioners position eminently fit him for the
trying and responsible duty. He is more-
over exceedingly popular with inventors and
patent attorneys and people, who have busi-
ness relations with the office. To a'clear
and comprehensive mechanical mind, he
unites great urbanity with a [rigid adherence
to all the arbitrary exactions of law. In
matters of patent ofiicc decisions, law and
precedents he is . a most reliable and well
recognized authority. The Secretary can do
no more j'ustland acceptable a thing than to
advance Assistant Commissioner Doolittle.
PERSONAL.
Hon. Frank Hiscock, of Syracuse, who
represents the twenty-fifth New York Dis—
trict, is one of the rising Statesmeu of the
Empire State and Nation. He is not- only
an earnest Republican, but one of the ablest
and clearest headed men in the House. On
the retirement of Gen. Garfield to the Senate
there will be no member left so well fitted in
all respects to become the Republican leader
of the House. Mr. Hiscock’s future career
may be watched with muchmore than ordi-
nary interest .and expectation, as his great
ability and high character eminently fit him
to adorn a Senatorial or any other station.
He is a stalwart young Republican of which
the whole nation may feel justly proud and
assuredly hopeful.
Two hundred and sixty-three, out of the
great numbers seeking clerkships in the
pension ofiicc, have undergone the} usual
competitive examination in such cases made
and provided. The successful candidates
will receive their appointments April 2d. _
The painful intelligence is received, that
the wife of J ohn Farrell, of New York, and
who was last year appointed U. S. Counsel
to Gloucester England, died on the 19th
ultimo. Mrs. Farrell was the last surviving
child of Commodore Daniels of Baltimore.
Governor Hamilton of Maryland last week,
engaged the legal services of Benjamin
Davenport, (son of Ex-Judge Geo. A. Daven-
port of Wilton,) to conduct a suit in which
that-ancient commowealth is a party. .Mr.
Davenport is recognized here as a rising
young lawyer of unusual ability and prom-
ise.
John E. Earle, Esq., of New Haven, was
here last week attending to patent issues.
Gen. Logan's. Fitz John Porter’s speech
fills ninety-one columns of Friday’s Con-
gressional Record. The positions of the
hostile forces are illdstratedI by a military
map. His arraignment is deemed fatal to
Porter’s claims. -
The Democratic determination to steal the
seats of Senator Kellogg and Representatives
Washburn and Orth, seems to be conclusive.
The nation will note the outrage.
The conspiracy of the two Kentucky Sena-
tors to jump Captain Jouette of that state
over sixteen equally meritorious officers
signally failed. After more than three hours
angry debate in executive session ThurSday,
the outrage was defeated by a vote of 18 to
26. Senator McPherson, chairman of the
Naval Committee, and'Senators Conkling,
Dawes, Anthony and Edmunds made earnest
protests against the proposed wrong. Sena-
tor Beck recently succeedcd in getting a
son-in-law jumped over the heads of fifty-
two of his fellow naval ofi‘lcers, and the
prepared outrage in the Jouette case was
even more flagrant because he'had once be-
fore been jumped over a large number Of his
associates of equal grade. The curious part
of the enterprise was the extraordinary hob-
bying resorted to, to accomplish it. Tele-
grams and letters were sent in from all parts
of the country to-Senators begging them to
aid in the scheme. 'thn the Senators
came to reveal to each other the influences
to which they had been subjected, it was
found that from Maine to Michigan, and
from the Carolinas to Oregon, the cntreaties
were all of the same character and bore the
ear marks of the same paternity. Senator
Platt received his full quota with others.
Gen. Sherman left here on Wednesday for
St. Louis to visit his daughter, Mrs. Fitch,
at her pretty suburban house. .He will
extend his trip later to Chicago and Omaha,
returning by way of St. Louis and bringing
his daughter and grandchildren with him.

A Chapter of Accidents.
On Thursday afternoon last, Eddie, a
young son of Wm. E. Montgomery fell down
stairs and baoke one of his legs.
Last Thursday morning, Capt. Enos Kel-
logg Slipped on the icy plank walk in his
yard and broke an ankle.
Geo. Ferris, clerk at John Greenwood’s
Store, Bcldenavenne, while cutting dried
beef ina machine cutter, cut off the end of
one of his fingers, last Thursday.
Last Tuesday afternoon a four horse team
from Ritter‘s stable became unmanageable
and ran through Wall street, colliding near
the Horse Railway Depot with Mrs. Frank
Burritt’s carriage. Mrs. Burritt and her
mother were thrown out, but fortunately
escaped without serious injury.
New Bakery.
Mr. C. B. DeKlyn will open aIbakcry and
ice cream saloon in the new hotel at South
Norwalk, this week. He is a first-class
baker in every respect, and his store up-town
has ever been a credit to the Borough. The
city folks are to be congratulated upon his
opening a similar store in that section of the
town.
Quite a flurry was caused last week, by
telegrams announcing that fears were enter-
tained that Gen. Grant had been lost at sea
on his way from Tamplco to Texas. The
fears were soon dissipated, however, by his
arrival at Galveston safe and sound. and
with his head level as usual as is evinced by
the sensible and patriotic speech which he
made at the public reception tendered him.
I. O. O. F'.—Past Grand Comly, of Bridge-
port, and his assistants, by Special invitation
will visit Our Brothers’ Lodge next Monday
evening, April 5th, and confer the five
degrees. It will be an occasion of unusual
interest, and Brothers of the Order will be
sure to manifest their interest by prompt
attendance.

The Parallel Railroad.
We hear nothing really reliable in regard
to the long—looked for surveyors. They are
Popularly supposed to be at work somewhere
between Bridgeport and Westport, running
their lines westward. Just where the Road
will run through Norwalk is still a’mooted
question, and one which probably has not
yet been decided and will not be until e
surveys are completed. In this connectr ,
however, we state the following, which can
be taken for what it is worth: A Norwalk
gentleman who recently had a conversation
with contractor Ramsdell says that gentle-
man told him] that the Road was to be a
through line to Boston, to be as straight as
they eculd make it, that the' Danbury Road
would be crossed at grade, and that the.
depot will be located near the head of Main
street, where the grade on the Danbury
Railroad is the highest, and that the track
will wind around the high ridge west of the
village from the north instead of from the
south. Engineer Rider informs us that this
is the shortest route, and the right of way, it
is apparent to all, will be far less expensive.
However, when the right of way has actually
been purchased we shall all know just where
to look for the line of the Road.
The Library. ,
At the annual meeting of the Library Cor-
poration, Saturday night, it appeared from
the Secretary’s report, that during the year
$345 had been received, $264.72 had been
expended for books, $11.38 on incidentals,
and that there was now in the treasury
$85.65. It also appeared that 104 volumes
had been received from the old book club,
that 311 volumes had been bought, that 25
volumes had been given,.and that 590 vol-
umeS had been loaned. Whole number of
volumes now in the library 1031. The good
usage which the books have received, is
noticeable and gratifying; thus far it has
been necessary to withdraw for rebinding
only six volumes, only one of these a loaned
book, and all of inferior binding when put in.
Soon another installment of . new books
will be put in, and by the first of July prob—
ably four hundred new volumes will be
bought. The latest additions in the way of
'loans have1been made by Mr. George B. St.
John who has added to his otherwise large
loans to the library, the twelve volumes of
Grote’s History of Greece, and the twelve
volumesof Froudc's History of Rome. Mr.
Andrew Selleck has secured twenty—four
new books and placed them on the library
shelves. ‘
Any one who has even one good book on
American History to spare, could put it
it to the library. The committee want such
books to come in before making out their
list of, purchases in that department. Any
person having a good juvenile book him
away would also be helping on the cause by
loaning it to {this growing institution. The
library is‘, already a success; discriminating
loans together with what books will be pur-
chased, can double the number of books in
Six months. - ~

Who Shall be President?
The next President will be nominated by
the Republican National Convention at
Chicago; that Conventionwill be composed
of delegates appointed by the various State
Conventions; the Connecticut St‘ato Conven-
tion willbe composed of delegates appointed
by “the little town caucuses.” 3' It will thus
be seen— how really important 'will be the
caucus which is to be held“ the Town
House next Friday evening, April 2d. Re-
publicans attend. and see that good men rep-
resent Norwalk in the-State Convention.

Easter came rather .too early this year.
Sunday was a partly stormy: cold and dreary
day, and the attendance at the churches was
consequently limited. 'At St. Paul's the
usual Easter services were held, with a
children’s festival in the afternoon. Appro-
priate sermons were delivered in the other
churches, with music selected especially for
the occasion. An Easter Praise Meeting
was held at the First Congregational church
in the evening.
At the 2d M. E. church, in the evening, a
very interesting Sunday school concert was
held, with Easter as the theme. A cross of
white‘flowers surrounded by a small nursery
of plants and flowers nearly filled the plat-
form. The services comprised singing by
the choir and school, scripture reading by
classes, recitations, &c., lasting about one
hcur and a half, testing the full resources of
the large school.
Amusements.
Concert at the First M. E. Church last
night.

pleasing programme.

where it would be forever useful by loaning
Senator Edmunds and the‘
Gazette. -
Two weeks ago the Washington corres—
po‘ndence of the GAzEm announced author-
itativelythat Senator-Edmunds was not 'a
candidate before the Chicago Convention.
The matter was of interest to the readers of
the GAZETTE, and the editorial interview in'
question was communicated to them for
their information and guidance, the well de-
served reference to the Senator’s long and
faithful services being only incidental. Un—
fortunately therc are sundry Republican
newspapers which are more interested in
proving their private, particular “boOm” to
be the genuine, Simon pure, only original
Jabobs than in preparing a vigorOuS Repub-
lican campaign under whatever leader the
majority of the party shall select, and Sena-
tor Edmunds's name has been a good cover
from behind which to keep up a fire upon
any dangerous competitor. That the Senator
should decline the position of breastwork and
leave his admirersnaked to their enemies
is of course matter for regret. But the
choice,act and words are Senator Edmunds's
own. The Gazurrn. had nothing to do
with them, except to be the medium through
which news passed to its readers. Why,
then, should the Hartford Cow-ant attack
the editorial correspondent of this paper in
the following bloodthirsty fashion ?—
"And are we to accept the Norwalk inter-
viewer as authority, and is he to I decide
whether New Englandcan have the services
of Senator Edmunds? The simple question
of today is whether New England wants
Mr. Edmunds, and not whether Mr. Ed.
munds wants the support of New England.
The natural declaration of Mr. Edmunds to
the chance int lower that he is not a can-
didate is not to and in the way of the right
of New England or of Connecticut to seek
and to have the services of the best man.
There is something ludicrous in the Nor-
walk interviewer putting himself forward in
this way; and still more ludicrous is the use
that is made of his small device to secure
delegates for Blaine in our State Convention.
These patriots have discovered that Ed—
munds is not seeking the office! In fact he
says he is not. And they have made another
discovery of equal value, and that is that
Edmunds cannot be spared from the Senate l
How is this? IS it a new thing that the man
needed in a higher place cannot well be
spared from the position he now fills ? If Mr.
Edmunds were not a great man in his present
position, we certainly should not want him
for a higher."
And all this because of the simple an-
nouncement that Senator Edmunds will not
consider himself a candidate before the Chi-
cago Convention, a fact which the flourant,
if it had cared to do so.might have ascertain-
ed at any time by personal inquiry of him.
But it andcther well meaning papers have
chosen to believe that Edmunds was to be
made a candidate by violence, and that vio-
lent men might walk him, v'Iilly nilly, into
that it is discovered that he has something to
say in the matter, must the GAZETTE. be
blamed? Suppose we had put it in this style:
“Senator Edmunds shows signs of uneasi—
ness over the efforts which are made to set
him up as a presidential candidate. Accord-
ing to Washington dispatches to the Western
newspapers his friends say he contemplates
expressing in some public manner his unwil-
lingness to be considered a candidate. He
would do so at once if he thought the move-
ment in his favor were large enough to
warrant such adeclaration. He was gratified
by the action of the Vérmont convention.
because it was an expression of esteem and
confidence ofthe people of his own State,
but the idea of being a candidate never enter-
ed his head, as the office of President is one
which has no alluring attractions for him.
He much prefers the position of Senator.
. This announcement ought to be sufiicient. to
"call off" the well meaning persons who have
the Edmunds movement: in charge, but it
probably won’t be. They are annoying him
are advertising themelves at: the same time."
tence of the extract is severe, extremely se—
vere, but we beg the Courant to believe that
it was not said by any “Norwalk inter—
viewer,” but is an editorial mention in the
New York Tribune of Saturday last. And,
when next it starts a private “boom” of its
Own, w‘e cordially commend to the Courant's
attention the first sentence of Mrs.Glasse’s
celebrated receipt for making potted hare:
“FIRST catch your hare."
Rev. G. D. Pike, Secretary of the Ameri-

from their Mendi mission on the west coast
of Equatorial Africa. It was his first Sab-
bath in America. He told his simple story in
both the Congregational churches or Sunday-
schools, and also in the Mission (colored)
Church, and sang hymns in the Mendi lan-
guage. He has been instructed in' their
mission school until he has obtained a good
knowledge of the English language, so as to
be able to act as an interpreter at the mission,
by whom he has been sent to this country to
obtain a more complete education in the Fisk
University, Nashville, Tenn., to qualify him
to return to Africa as a missionary to the two
millions of the Mendi nation. He created
much interest.

Was attired in an elegant white satin dress,‘
with long veil, orange blossoms, &c. The
