The Convention.
In character and attendance the Republi-
can Convention at New Haven last week,
was.l superior to any convened since the war.
There was great diversity of opinion as to
the best man to nominate, but never a more
loyal and hearty desire to do the best thing for
; the country and thc‘Republiean party. By
our somewhat meaningless habit of rotation
‘ between the counties and over senatorial dis-
tricts‘, the delegate at large from the 4th Con-
' gressional- district belonged to Fair-field
county. Mr. Rockwell, of Winstcd, having
' been the delegate at large, four years since,
to Cincinnati. By this usage it this time fell
to the 10th Senatorial district,but our friends
from very courteousiy yielded any claim thty
may have been supposed to have and Samuel
I-‘es-zcnzlen was unar‘.iruonsly named for the
po~itinn and his nomination as unanimously
t‘flniil‘zl’d‘tl by the convention. The selection
of the county delegate by the rule referred
i.) fell to the 11th Senatorial district and Mr.
Edgar S. Tweedy, of Danbury, was unani-
'monsly chosen for the position. At the same
informal, preliminary caucus, at which .Mr.
Fessenden and Mr. Tweedy were agreed
upon, the namc‘of the senior editor of the
GAZETTE was, with the sainc unanimity, sc-
lactcd for the position of alternate for Mr.
Tweed v. At the general caucus held Tucs-
dny ewening, this last nomination was not
brought up and ratified solely, and only,
because of the impatience to admit the Litch-
field county dclcgctes who had been long
waiting at the door to come in and report
the nomination of their county delegate and
to ratify Fairficld county’s selection of Mr.
Fesscnden as delegate at large. It having
become known that the Litcbfield county
delegates had voted to authorize both the
delegate at large and the county delegate to
select their own alternates, it was resolved
to vote the same authorization to Mr. Twee—
dy, which was done, by vote of the delegates
when the general convention resolved itself
into district conventions. Being thus author“
iacd and knowing that the preliminary can—
ons of'Fairfield county delegates who had
selected Mr. Tweedy had also selected Mr.
Byington, that gentleman zit once named the
GAZETTE Editor as his substitute, thus rc-
peating history, for just twenty years ago
Mr. Edgar S. Tweedy was the county
delegate and Mr. A. II. Byiogto'n his alter—
nate to the Lincoln convention at Chicago,
and in that case both were selected by vote
of the convention. Both modes of selecting
alternates have been followed in years past
but in either case the alternate assumes no
responsibility Or vote except in the absence
of his principal. Itidoes, however, give the
subordinate easy access to the convention,
and in the prescnt'case, that privilege, it was
the desire of the incumbent to transfer (with
Mr. Tweedy's consent) to Mr. Eben J. Hill,
who expects to attend the convention in
June, and who otherwise would find admit-
tance difiicnlt, while the writer has other;
available means of admission. We trust
that no mischievous intermedling by enemies
of our cause may thwart this purpose. An
idea seems to have gotten abroad that Mr.
Tweedy was not expecting to attend the con-
vention. This is an error, for Edgar S.
. Tweedy is not a man to accept and then shirk
a responsibility. If aliveand well he will be
at. Chicago next June, and will vote wisely
and discreetly for that man, who all things
considered, will be our best leader in the
great presidential campaign which will soon
be upon us. Mr. Tweedy, of Danbury, and
Mr. Noble, of New Milford, were the first
two of ‘the Connecticut delegation who
twenty years ago broke Connecticut’s line
for Seward and cast their votes for Abraham
Lincoln, and although we do not know his
personal preferences even, we have an im—
plicit confidence that he will so act as to
receive the approval of those earnest Repub-
licans who selected him to represent them
again at Chicago.
Hon. Amos 8. Treat was chosen president
of the convention and delivered a-rcmarkably
neat, terse and to the point speech. He duly
eulogized all the candidates named in con-
nection with the presidency, and conducted
the business of the convention with his ac-
customed dignity and despatch.
Mr. Warner, of the Cement, introduced a
resolution favoring Edmunds or Washburn,
to. the exclusion of all direct reference to
“any other man,” whereupon Mr. Sherman,
of Brookfield, created a good deal of merri-
ment by moving to amend by adding to War-
ner's resolve the above comprehensive trio of
words. The resolution was so seriously an-
tagodized by Hon. Samuel Warner, of Mid-
dletown, and Hon. Aug. Brandagce, of New
London, that the mover withdrew it and the
enthusiastic hurry of the convention continu-
ed to the final adjournment. The only ge-
solve put forth by the committee on platform
of which Editor Warner, of the Oem'antmas
chairman, is a model of loyal faith in' the
wisdom of the June convention, and an ear-
nest of the support. our ticket is to rcccivc'at
the hands of the'Republicans of Connecticut.
A: to how the delegatibn at present stands
there is nothing more definite than conjec-
ture By some it is rated 3 for Sherman, 4
for \‘(xslzhnrm and the remainder dividrd
helmet: Blaime and Edmunds. There were
prc hunt the midst earnest Grant then, wildly
c-rnlnlsinstic Blaine men, wisely conservative
Sizer-man arid l'r'asbburn men, and all afloat'
Edmunds men, but for one and all it must be
said there was the most solid determination
to heartily support the Republican nominee,
whoever he be, and to firmly adhere to the
one purpose of defeating the Confederate
nominee, whoever he be. ‘
m
Err-Selectman Charles A. Burr and a Mr.
Betts of WiltOn, have taken the store on
Main street recently occupied as a market
by J ohu Roberts, and opened a new grobery.
In fitting up the store and getting in stock,
Mr. Burr overworked himself and brought
on a severe attack of neuralgia of 'the heart,
and fears wcre‘entertained that he would not
recover. He is under-the care of Dr. Com—

'E‘lre Edmunds Boom.
General Hawlcy is working up the Con—
necticut Republican delegation to Chicago
for Senator Edmunds. Massachusetts is also
showing up for the Vermont Senator. If
Connecticut or Massachusetts ever had any
influence or power or exhibitor] any common
sense in a Republican Presidential Conven-
tion, there might be some reasonable hope,
for the clean unthinted statesman of the
Green Mountains. The Chicago Convention
might do worse things than nominate-George
F. .Edmunds for I’resident.——00m.Adcert[ser.
Well, Connecticut will be able to take care
of herself at Chicago, and will no doubt be as
dilligently sought after as she always has
been hitherto. ’

The New Railroad.
The surveyor in chief of the. new Rail-
road, was in town on Saturday. He was
accompanied by Henry Parrott, Esq., of
Bridgeport, and the special object of the visit
was to determine which of three feasible
lines it would be best to adopt in running
through Norwalk, Of course much depends
upon the price demanded for right of way,
but all things being equal it is probable that
the new road will cross the Danhury and
Norwalk at grade considerably in rear of
the Union School Building. The engineer
assures us that the new line will be five
miles shorter between New York and New
Haven, than the present Consolidated Rail-
road. .
The surveyors are now at work in 'Nor—
walk. Yesterday noon they planth a flag on
the premises of James Sherwood, Camp
street. The line which they are now running
passes near the residence of Jonathan Camp,
thence on to the immediate vicinity of Capt.
Lamb’s blacksmith shop.
We presume other lines will be run.
Some three hundred members of the Order
assembled at the rooms of Our Brothers’
Lodge, I. O. O. F. . on Monday evening last,
to witness the conferring of degrees by Past
Grand Comly and his assistants, of Bridge—
port. There were delegates from lodges in all
the neighboring towns. The degrees were
conferred in a remarkably pleasing and im-
pressive manner by P. G. Cornly cntireTy
from memory. So far as we have heard Mr.
Conly is the only person who is able to confer
the degrees without the aid of books. Much
satisfaction is expressed by the Brothers with
duties. The exercises closed with a sump—
which was partakeu of by probably over two
hundred members of this Lodge and their
welcome guests. _ '
The Hartford city election, last week Mon-
day, rcsu‘ted in a sweeping victory for the
Republicans. M. G. Buckley was elected
Mayor by a majority of 1369. The result in
Bridgeport was mixed; the Democrats elect-
ed D. N. Morgan as Mayor, and the Repub—
‘ licans elected Chas. E. Wilmot as Town
Clerk. The city council is half and half.
Joaquin Miller’s "Danitcs” was played by
a strong company at Music Hall, last Tuesday
character well taken. We are sorry to add
that the meagre attendance showed general
lack of appreciation of Manager Knapp’s
commendable efforts to bring the best com—
panies to his Hall. If this thing continues
we can expect nothing but the vilest of
“snide”.s‘hows in future, for no manager can
afford to hire good companies to play to
empty benches.

The State board of health report he phy—
Sicul condition of the commonwea h to be
very good, with the exception of a slight ir-
ritation between the Hartford Coua'ant and
the. N orwalk Gazette—Danbury News.
And the “irritation” was all healed by that
most sensible resolution, prepared and repor-
ted by editor Warner of the (Journal at the
state convention, as our common party plat-
form. The healthful conditions were never
more promising at this end of sloop naviga—
tion, and with Sherman or Washburn as our
candidate for President and Gen. Hewley for
Vice, the air would be full of ozone and allthe
boys full of enthusiasm.
Africa walks to the Front.
The great six days walking match in New
York terminated Saturday night. Frank
Hart, a colored boy from Boston, scored 565
miles and 165 yards, or twelve miles more
than Blower Brown’s record, heretofore the
best record ever made. Seven men Scored
over 500 miles, and eight scored 450. Hart
was up'at 7 o’clock next morning and off for
a walk to Central Park. It is said that be
will clear $17,000 altogether. Pegram, also
colored, won the second place.
Third Trial for Life.
. The third trial of Bucholz for the murder
of J. H. Schulte is expected to open to-day
at Bridgeport. Judge Beardsley, it is re—
ported, will be on the bench.
Our trial syndicate ofiStatc causes, Messrs.
Stuart, Barbour, Perry, &c., have had a
lively week of it. What with Cobble Hill,
a lunatic bride and that universal confidence
operator, Frank James, the strain on our
village morals and the public treasury has
been unusually severe: We hope to see the
“reform movement." pushed ahead with en—
ergy, until all evil doors, are forced into
correct living by the terrors of the law, so
faithfully administered by the above trium—
virate.

On.Friday evening next it Music Hall our
people will have the opportunity of seeing
Denman Thompson in his . great creation of
“Joshua Whiteomb.” He is greeted every-
where by crowded houses, and his audiences
retire delighted with the actor and play. We
hope our people will show that they can ap-
preciate a good performance by a large at-
tendance. The New Haven Courz'e‘r says:
“He has secured a strong hold on the affec-
tions of New Haven theatre-goers. His per!
formance is an artistic triumph, because it is
absolutely true to nature. and justly entitles
him to the commendation be everywhere re-
Thc play will be given afternoon
and evening, and the house will be packed
on both occasions.”
During the [past week Humphey & Mead
have been exhibiting the Ghost Mystery in
Wood’s building, Main street. Performan—
ces are given every hour during afternoon
and evening. The sudden appearance and
disappearance of spectres,-—‘true to life,—-is
surprising if not startling, and by this means
the little sketches are rendered very amus-
ing. Change of programme this week.

CORRESPONDENCE.
COLORADO." ‘
Coronano Seamus, April “5, {880.
ELM Gazn'ru :—Situated About ,four
miles from the base of the Rocky-Mountains,
~0n-a beautiful plateaujin the valleylcf' the
Fontaine qui Bouille, on the Denver and Rio
Grande Railway, seventy-film miles south of
Denver, is this charming city. The town
site as originally laid out in 1871, by the
Colorado Springs Company, included an area
of abdut 300' acres, but it has since been
greatly enlarged by two additions and now
covers some 1200 acres, the streets'of which
run at right angles nearly. north and south
and east and west, the former bping OVCr two
miles and the latter about three—fourths of a
mile in length, and from one‘hundrcd to one
hundred and forty feet in width. Irrigating
canals have been built along each side of
every street, outside of the sidewalks, and
over seven thousand shade trees have been
planted, at intervals of twenty-five feet, and
they are growing rapidly, which which will
soon give to the place the appearance of a
vast/grove. Water for drinking and culinary
purposes is obtained from Ruxton’s Creek, I
stream that has its source in springs near the
top of Pike’s Peak, about four miles distant.
The permanent population is about ‘five
thousand, but the number is greatly aug.
mented in the summer by the large number
of invalids who seek this climate for their
health. A large mercantile business is done
here, in addition to which is an extensive
business in wool, therebeing something like
seventy firms engaged in wool growing in
this county, most of them residing in and
drawing all of their supplies from Colorado
Springs, besides a large trade in. horses and
beef cattle. All of the principal religious
denominationslare represented here, and they
have well built churches with large and
growing congregations. The scenery around
Colorado Springs is of the most beautiful de-
scription, and within an hour’s drive. over
grandest combinations of natural views upon
the continent. Manitou Springs, Cheyenne
Canon, Ute Pass. Iron Springs, Manitou
Canon, Pike’s Peak, Garden of the Gods,
Glen Eyrie and Monument Park are some of
the places of interest that are ”visited by all
who come to this locality. That Colorado is
the grand sanitarium of the country is gener-
ally cOncoded by the medical profession, and
that Colorado Springs is so‘ considered par-
ticularly, is evidenced by the large» number
of invalids here. In this connection I would
state, that a Life Insurance Agent after a
two weeks thorough canvass of the place,
d'rew out disgusted, and upon leaving he of-
fered to wager that there were not over a
dozen sound men in the town. In leaving
Colorado Springs, with the most favorable
opiniOus, as expressed above, I desire to say
that the writer has no personal interest in any
hotel or boarding house in the place. Nor-
walk is represented here by Mrs. Charles T.
Leonard and daughter, Mr. Leonard having
returned East a few days ago.
No liquor is sold here, as every deed con-
consequeutly Colorado Springs is entirely
free from traffic in'this soul destroying fluid.
“resonance-r.”
The term "tender-foot," in applied to all
new comers in a mining camp, but through-
out this State there seems to be a more gen-
eral use of it, and it is quite refreshing to
hear-bow readily it is applied by a party who
.has been here two months to one who is anew
arrival of a week. When a “tender-foot." ex-
presses admiration of the climate, or surprise
at some curious mineral formation, «be is met
by the “old timer" with the remark, “just
wait till you have been here aslongas I have,
then you can talk," which reminds one of tho
Southerner's “b‘efoh dc wah !” One of these
“old timers,” with a windmill attachment to
his tongue, having for four or five evenings
amused a half dozen guests at a hotel in a
town in the south part of this State with
his adventrircs, had thoroughly disgusted
them, as he had proveu himself a liar of the
crudest sort, for by actual calculation, as
made by one of the party, the number of
antelope he claimed to have‘killed would not
have left tour in the whole State. “0. T.”
claimed that the town in which the party
were lo'cated was the healthiest in the world,
and he had never heard or known of a case
of hemorrhage of the lungs, in the town, on
the contrary knew of parties coming there
who had suffered with bleeding which Il-
ways ceased as soon as they arrived. One of
his listeners, thinking to give “0. T.” a
slight shock on the next evening, supplied
himself with a pocketful of cranberries, and
upon the arrival of "0. T.” the party assem-
bled as usual, and by a previous arrangement
the climate was made the topic of conversa-
tion. "0. T." renewed his assertions of the
"lo and positive in his statement thab“w
'man ever bled at the lungs in that towii.”
In the meantime one,of the “tenderfeet” had
been occasionally putting a cranberry into
his month until it became filled, and the
berries of course had gone through a
thorough course of mastication which had
reduced them to a fine pul'p. “0.,T." had
just finished his final declaration, which he
probably suppbséd would dispel from the
minds of his hearers, a suspicion even, that
a person could bleed in that place, when a
noise from “tenderfoot” attracted attention,
and a sort of subdued cough was followed by
a mouthful of blood, as “O. T. " supposed,
and be at once arose to his feet, and insisted
that “the Colonel must be taken to his room."
“Get some salt,” he cried to the‘porterof the
hotel, “while I go for the doctor ;” but the
others induced “0. T.” to be quiet and they.
took the “bleeding tenderfoot.” to his room,
where be rinsed the cranberry juice from his
mouth, when the clerk of the hotel told
the “O. T.” that it was a joke. The follow-
ing day he started out of the hotel and never
during the stay of the "tender-feet” did he
return. Yours occasionally, A.

Passed from earth to life immortal, in
Wilton, on April 9th, Ebenezer G. Betts, in
the 61st year of his age. Mr. Betta has long
been a great sufferer from a spinal and pul—
monary affection, but during all his early life
he was one of Wilton's most prominent pub-
lic spirited and valuable citizens. He was
an active and consistent member of the first
Congregational Church and always bore the
character of a wise, upright and christian
gentleman. ' In 1858 he represented Wilton
in the Legislature and won for himself the
esteem of all his fellow members. He was a
man of.more than ordinary energy and sagac-
ity ;‘ a warm and steadfast friend. a good eit-
‘izen and emphatically an honest man. ' His
memory will be long and lovingly cherished.

Attention is Called to the advertisement of
Mr. Whitney regarding Iumdscapc Views.
The success of Mr. W’s views is too well-
kuown to need further praise,—-the elegant
landscape view; he exhibited at Norwalk,
Ridgefield and Danbury Fairs, spoke for
themselves. Persons wanting views must
remember that with houses shaded by trees
the season is very short. Speak in time, in
June he is engaged to take one of the love-

‘Mr. Mathewson, of the firm of Louusbury
Brother's & 00., has gone out on a three
weeks trip.
On Sunday, in the First Baptist church,
thepastor, Rev. E. D. Bentley, preached a
memorial sermon on the death of Miss Mary
Staples, ‘only daughter of Horace Staples,
Esq., of Westport. There was a very large
attendance. The text was Psalms 119th
chapter, 151 verse. “Thou art near 0 Lord.”
The speaker said so sudden was the death
that one had said, “it seemed a flash out of
the heavens, that the blow could almost be
seen so near was the Heavenly Father." This
had suggested the text and subject, the near-
ness of God.
The design of the sermon was not. merely
to bring to view the nearness of God in
death, his justice and sovereignty, but the
heart of God beck of the “flash and blow of
death," or his love and mercy—to bring out
the nearness of God in his rounded character '
and attributes, to bring out a complete like-
ness of God in his nearness to us so fares
weak, human powers and earthly atmosphere
could exhibit it. It was shown first that God
was near us in nature, especially in the resur-
rection and beauties of Spring. Not that
God and nature were one, as taught in a cold
and desolating pantheisrn, but _ that the prin-
ciples of. life-which no human power could
discover, came from without nature, and was,
of the Spirit of God, so that, that which was
producing resurrection and beauty was of
God, and every tree and spire of green grass
and modest violet, with all the powers and
subtle laws of nature were proclaiming the
nearness of God. ‘
The nearness of God was shown in our
bodies which no sculptor could fashion into
life, which was but God could create and
which by His constant supporting power
proclaimed His constant presenCe. 4
The nearness of God in all His providen-
tial dealings was shown, especially in those
“happenings” of life, in all the messages
which come to us either of joy or sorrow. In
the omniscience of God, “besetting o'ur path
'behind and before" was God near? But 'in
our moral nature and in our hidden, Bpll'i‘u-
at life does God come nearest and reveal him.
self most perfectly. In the former, pointing
to an infinite moral nature of which :ours is
the likencss and through which God commuf
nicates with us, and the latter by which God
by the spirit touches the boul,~and “Christ, _
the hope of glory, is fortucd in us." The, I
nearness of God-in death and judgment were
also dwelt upon. as also in consolation.
God' had come very neat to the aged pa-
rents, and especially to the father, in this
death. Mary had been to him in many ways
a prep, a counsellor in his affairs, and a great
solace in all his weary and sick hours. God
had come near to the sisterhood of the church
—a sisterhood'jwhose piety was marked by
rare intelligence and consecration.
Miss Staples’ life was briefly sketched from
childhood when her mother died leaving her
but three years of age. 'Her truthfulness and
absence of all dissemblance in her child life,
her conversion and admission to the church ,
during the pastorate ,of the Rev. Mr. Gates.

thus she deduced her conclusions. On such
