Editorial Letter.
WASHINGTON, April 18, 1880.
Dan: Gmr'rn:— .
Speaker Randall having become alarmed
at the attitude the Democratic House stands
in before the country, has induced the party
caucus to resolve upon night sessions and a
strict adherence to consideration of the ap._
proprlation bills. The fact that it has been
in session four months and nothing yet done,
is, in the opinion of the Speaker. a damag-
ing accusation, and he is now “whooping
up" his dilatory forces to prompt action on
the leading appropriations. This means, or
would mean, ordinarily, an early adjourn—
ment, but while King Caucus has set a gag
on the Democratic members and forced them
to sit like dumb dogs and listen to the Re-
publican lashings of their partizan schemes
and riders upon these bills, with a solid vote
on all matters fixed beforehand in the caucus,
very little' celerity of progress has yet been
secured. Nor is the way easy or likely to
be popular. This cast iron caucus action in—
volves the- thrusting aside all the vast amount
of pension claims, and the thousands of pri-‘
vate bills, where justice, equity and mercy
cry aloud for action, andto thus abandon as
the Democracy have done, all legitimate and
proper acts of legislation in which tens of
thousands of worthy citizens are interested,
doesn't add very greatly to the popularity, of
the demoralized Democracy in Congress, and
popularity is the only and sole thing that
‘party now yearns for. The question “is a
measure right and ought it to pass f" has now
ceased to be asked, but “will it be popular
and aid us in capturing .the next President?"
is the anxious cry. Gen. Hawley gave the
Democrats some most exasperating digs on
the question of retaining their rider on the
Army Appropriation Bill, forbidding the use
of troops to keep peace at the polls, but it
did no good,for they neither replied or failed
to vote solid for the. purely partizan feature
of thegbill. _ _ - ‘-
In the Senate the Geneva Award Bill has
been under lively discussion all the week.
On Thursday Senator Blaine agaiIn'llustratcd
most conspicuously his wonderfully versatile.
talent for' ready alertness. Thurman, by
many deemed the ablest debater on the Demo-
craticside, and Bayard the fairest and firm-
est, were both put on the run h, Blaine in‘
his usual impromptu sort of way. The argu-
ments of both Thurman and Bayard were
very elaborately prepared and Aread from
manuscript, but at the end of the day’s
encounter even the Democrats had to ac—
knowledge that Blaine had run their cham-
piont into a hole and well-nigh driven the.
hole in after them. Poor Thurman of course
got mad and sputtered at a furious rate in
self-confession of his discomfiture, while
Bayard worried and parried thedeft blows
of Blaine in unconcealed distress. “Thurman
emphasized his consciousness of being “tor-
mented before his time," by the remark at
clase of his retort, “We never had any such
work as this, Mr. President, before the Sons-
tor from Maine came over here from the
House and introduced his peculiar mode of
debate." It is but fair to saythat Thurman
is a chronic sufferer from neuralgia,and since
the loss of his seat in the Senate and chances
for a Presidential nomination have complete-
1y vanished, has grown captions and cross,
whereas he used to be one of the most genial
men in Congress. - '

The rumor actively circulated here that
Mr. Tilden has already, prepared a letter of
withdrawal is professedly believed by a few
Democrats, but the mass of intelligent mem-
' bers of that wicked political organization see
in it only a determination of_ their wily can-
didate to artfully keep up the interest in his
personality. Speaker Randall asserts him to
be “more of a Democratic candidate now
than ever before," and few sagacious men of
that party express any doubt that he will be
nominated at Cincinnati.
The action of the Connecticut Republican
Conventionjseems to meet approval from the
friends of all our presidential candidates as
eminently discreet and who. . The friends of
Grant, Blaine and Sherman seem to have I
hoped most from the selection of our dele- .
gates,aud had the Edmuuds boom had any
meaning in it the friends of the Vermont
Senator would also have had cause for satis-
factory encouragement. But Connecticut’s
firm determination to act for the best, when
(in the ground at Chicago, without instruc-
tion or trammel of any sort. give our dele—
gatesaposition and power they could not
else have had. '
The Convention held in Massachusetts last
week, while indicating the anticipated Bay
State antagonism to Blaine, has upon the
whole, met the popular expectations here.
The friends of Mr. Sherman believe that he
will be the favorite of a majority of the
.MaSsachusetts delegates and thus is secured
a strong accession to his chance's for the
nomination. The fact thatIllinois does not-
even respond unanimously for Grant, and has
no apparent second choice in Wasbburn,
gives Mr. Sherman's friends substantial cause
for encouragement. In the event, as many
seem to believe, that Grant and Blaine will
defeat (each other, or the development of a
feeling that it would be unwise to nominate
either, then Mr. Sherman's chancesas second
choice wbuid seem to be potential. The
unmistakable naming of the Washburn boom
and Mr. Edmund's still reiterated determina-
tion not under any circumstances, to bee
candidate, has certainly set the tide towards
our great finance minister with most encour-
aging force and perhaps justifies the follow-
ing confident assertion and prediction of the
New York Graphic:—
“Secretary Sherman is positively stron or
with the country to—day than any ot er
candidate whose name has been mentioned
iu connection with the Chicago Conven—
tIon. ' ‘ ’ _
Gen. Logan, it is said, had become so
alarmed at the havoc the Blaine men were
making in Illinois and so; threatening was
the prospect of a divided delegation from
Grant's own State, that he left his seat in
the Senate and rushed home, in the hopes of
concentrating the Illinois delegation on their
own illustrious citizen. It is thought state
pride and other energetic influences, which
have been brought to bear, will render
' Logan’s mission successful, and that Illinois
will cast her first votes solid for her great
chieftain. As' for Blaine, he has a corps of
the most skillful, indefatigeable and saga-
cions politicians in the nation, resolutely at
work in his behalf, and the general demori
alization in the ranks of other candidates,
because of this systematic and detailed
fostering of his interests, show how efiective
has been the work of these earnest agents,
and what a popular response in the public
heart they have been able to evoke. The
man who of all others,is c'oncededto be
our most alert and enthusiastic Republican
leader, who came within four votes of a
nomination at the last convention, and who
it is well knovvn, would have been the uomi~
nee. but for the mysterious providence which
prostrated him with sun-stroke'nnd which
illness was magnified to be of far graver and
more-surely fatal character, has a lead be-
fore the country and will have at the conven-
tion that well justifies the dread and alarm of
the champions of Gen. Grant, and should
Blaine ultimately win the nomination, as his
friends feel sure he will, it will ”be no ordi—
nary victory. His chances are notalittle
set back by the votes instructing the State
delegations'from Kentucky and Missouri to
vote solid for Grant, although either State is
surely 50,000 democratic.
rumours.
Ben. Davenport was assigned the defence
of Smithers, the colored man, charged with
a most brutal outrage on a white lady, but
declined. Learning that every other lawyer'
asked to conduct the defense hadalsoro—
fund to act, Davenport notified J udgc James
that he would undertake the uninviting duty,
and he is now defending the negro with such»
ability as to attract general attention and
even reflect unfavorably upon the weakness
of the prosecution. The feeling against the
negro is very intense, and it will be almost a
miracle if he escapes conviction, although
the testimony is far from being positive as to
his identity. Davenport is recognized as a
young lawyer of unusual ability and prom-
188s '
Gen. Wm. T. Clark, who has for several
years, been a general supervisor of the In—'
ternal Revenue agencies throughout the
country, has just been assigned to the chief
clerkship of that bureau at the Treasury De—
partment. His remarkable ability as an
organizer, and his efficient executive quali—
ties, led to his selection for this important
post. Gen. Clark, it will be remembered,
won the reputation while on Gen. McPher-
sou’s staff. of being the most systematic and
efilcient Adjutant General in the Union
Army, and left the field the youngest Major
General in the service. His Norwalk friends
will be glad to hear of his continued success.
Mayor Bigelow and Postmaster Sperry of
New Haven, were sent here last week, by
the city to look after their Harbor Improve-
mept appropriation. - .
Ex—Reprcsentativc Leeds of New Haven,
was also here looking after the liquorice
question, before the Ways and Means Com-
mittee, which is likely to affect the interests
of the Stamford Cove Spice Mills.
Commodore S. A. Gardner, Jr., of the N.
G. 85 Norwich Transportation Co. of New
London, has also been here to look after the
appropriation for dredging the Thames
River from New London to Norwich. These
missions are productive of important results
in the matter of their needed appropriations.
A delegation of citizens from. West Mer—
iden are after Senator Platt, hoping to secure
a consolidation of the two Meriden Post-
ofilccs under the one name of “Meriden.”
They hope to accomplish this result in con-
formity to a recent order of the P. 0. De-
partment, cutting of the too common prefix
of North, East, South and West and other
similarities of names of post offices in the
same vicinity. ' ~
There are about fifteen hundred names of
small post ofiices in the country which are
either similar to other post offices or are very
complex. The Post Ofiice Department will
proceed to gradually change these names to
ensure a more prompt delivery of the mails,
and also simplify the books and business of
the department. All the names that will be
changed are those of the smallest offices.
Senator Platt opposes the change in Merifl
den until he can secure the introduction of :f
the letter carrier system into that wideawake;
and most-thrifty manufacturing town, and
as preventative of 'local row of the first
.magnitudc, it would seem that the Senator
had decided wisely.
Wm. R. Beers, Esq, formerly of Nerwalk,
happened to stop over here on his return
from Florida, on the day the sad news reach-
ed us of the death of his brother Sidney W.
Beers, and left on the first train for home.
Mrs. Wm. K. Lewis had only left here for
Norwalk on the day previous. ,
United States District Attorney Childs of
Stamford, sent here to the War Department,
last week, for a “record” of the case of Wm.
Knapp of Norwalk, who was a soldier in
20th and also the 5th Conn. Vols. Knapp,
charges that he placed the cellecti‘on of his
pay and bounty in the hands of a Norwalk
lawyer, who asseverates that he couldlnever
collect the same. The records show that
the money, to the amount of 8378,65 was
paid by the “(in Department through G‘eo.
E. Miller, cashier, on the 25th of October
1867, or some twelve years ago i The sig-
nature of Knapp to the assignment receipt
for the money is sodifierent from his signa-
ture to his claim that a suspicion is awaken—
ed at the Department that it is not genuine.
At all events, Mr. Child’s has the papers in
the case and the implicated attorney will
have an early chance, no doubt, to “risefiand
explain.” 0n the statement of Knapp, the
case has an ugly look, and it does not seem
credible, that any one knowing the penalties
for such an act, would take such a chance of
criminal prosecution, but a full and explicit
statement of the case, (which ought to be at
once made in answer to the public charges
now on record in the Department) will, it is
to be hoped, entirely change the threatening
aspect of the case.
Mrs. Solmous and Miss Cox of South Nor-
walk, have been visiting here the past week.
Dr. Butlér, of the Hartford Insane Retreat,
with his wife, are guests at the Misses Rosi-'
ter’s, formerly of Norwalk.
Rev. Dr..and Mrs. Childs, who have been
on a trip to Georgia and Florida, will on
their return, also stop with the Misses Rosi-
ters for a brief visit here.
Rev. Augustus J acksou. brother of Alfred
and Legrand Jackson of Norwalk, and who
has long been a sufferer from malarial inoc—
ulation, is seeking a respit from his clerical
labors here, by an assignment as U. S. Chap.
lain, to some one of the frontier Indian posts.
Senator Platt has called on the President in
furtherance of- Mr. Jackson’s desires, and
has received some encouragement that his
application will be accorded. . '
Chas. Dudley Warner and J. W. Hooker
of Hartford, have been here. '

While the family of Mr. Edgar Scribner,
of Weston, were at their breakfast on Satur-
day morning last, Mr. Scribner on finishing
his, got up and went to the corner of the
room to remove a loaded double-barreled
fowling piece standing there. In taking it
up, the hammers caught and were accidently
both barrels into, and through the side of
Mr. Scribner's hand. Dr. Lockwood, of this
place, was immediately sent for and by
amputating the little finger thinks he will
succeed in saving the hand.

OBITUARY.
JONATHAN CAMP.
In the decease of Mr. Jonathan Camp, re-'
corded in our obituary column, Norwalk
loses one of her oHest, most respected and
enterprising inbabitantsnnd one whose mem-
ory will long be honored by our citizens.
Mr. Camp was born Sept. 15, 1801, his
Jonathan ; his grandmother vvas Mary Bur-
well, one of the Burwell family, having fab-
ulous estates in England, which repeated ef-
forts lIave been made to obtain but without
success. His mother was Hannah Bonton,
one of the Benton family that were among
the very first settlers of this town.
Mr. Camp was brought up a farmer and
began to acquire land before he was of age,
and he died one of the lsrgestlandholders in
-th3 town; was a thorough farmer and took
great pleasure in improving his lands and
,stock; notwithstanding his devotion to-farm-
ing he was ever foremost in works of public
improvement, and to his energy and perseve-
rance the Fairfield County Agricultural So—
ciety are principally indebted for their spa-
cious grounds and buildings in this town.
He was President of the society for many
years, and continued to not even after his
first attack of paralysis, and his retirement
was regretted by all.
Mr. Camp was vestryman and warden of
the Episcopal church and one of its most
liberal supporters. .
_ Mr. Camp leaves four children in the wife
of S. E. Olmstead, the widow of the late
Theodore ’E. Smith, the wife of Rev. Eugene
Patterson, of Bethel, and Albert N. Camp,of
New York, all of whom are members of the
Episcopal church.
Mr. Camp was elected member of the first
Board of Directors of the Danbury dc Nor.
walk Railroad, was chairman of the execu-
tive committee and was most active in pro-
curing right of way and assisting in its con—
struction andhcontiuued an active working
:director as long as his health permitted. He
also was one of the projectors and president
of the Norwalk Paper Co.,was one of the
original directors of the Bank of Norwalk,
and was one of the first directors and took a
great interest in the Parallel Railroad—now
about being bdiltfi He was for several years
deputy‘sheriif of this County, and held many
- other ofiices of trust and enjoyed the confi-
dence of the public. Mr. Camp’s first day
of duty as one 'of our militia was the ever
memorable first Monday of September, 1822,
known as the day of the great Sept. gale,
and his experience in getting home after the
“training" was far from agreeable, he being
obliged to take to the fields, as the roads
were choked up with fallen trees, rendering
them impassable for man or beast. In this
gale the salt spray was blown from the
Sound to the high grounds of Redding, some
fifteen miles inland. The funeral was attend-
.d from St. Paul's church, yesterday.
J anus -F. VAIL.
Mr. James F. Vail, an old and respected
citizen of South Norwalk, died on Friday
last, at the advanced age of_80 years. He
had been in feeble health for many years yet
at times was able to be about and to his usual
occupation. He will be long remembered
by his quiet and humble life, going out and
in hmong his fellow men, beloved and re-
spected by all. Two sons survive to mourn
his loss—Theodore Vail of South Norwalk,
and John J. Vail, cashier of the Continental
Bank, Brooklyn. , .
He was born at Sonthold, Long Island, in
December, 1799. In 1839 he moved to Nor-
walk where be resided for three years, from
thence he removed to South Norwalk, where
he remained till his death. As a Christian
and a 'man of integrity be was a worthy pat-
tern.
.—
EnwAnD P. WEED.
Our community wds startled and shocked,
yesterday morning, by the announcement'of
the sudden death of one, who in years, was
but in the prime of life, EDWARD P. WEED.
He came down as usual and opened his drug
store on Sunday evening, and a friend going
in about 7 o'clock found him stricken down
with what has since been ascertained to be
congestion of the lungs. A carriage was
procured to take 'him home where medical
attendants were immediately on hand to care
‘ fofhim, but it was too late—he expired
about 10 o'clock.
Mr. Weed was the only child of the late
John A. Weed,long and well-known through-
out this whole vicinity as Norwalk’s old and
able Town Clerk. Edward P. succeeded his
father in the old established drug'business
which he has continued until the present
time. He was modest,quiet and unassuming,
of sterling worth, and as an upright citizen
held'in high esteem by his fellow townsmen
as evidenced by his having been twice elected-
as one of our representatives to the 'State
Legislature, in 1874 and again in 1877, even
though he was a Democrat and Norwalk was‘
in the habit of electing none but Republi-
cans. He also held the position of War-
den several times, Chief Engineer‘of the
Fire Department,and other municipal offices;
also for several years he was Vice Presi-
dent of the National Bank of Norwalk.
He leaves a wife (daughter of the late
Samuel Lynes) and several children, who
will have the deep sympathy of the commu-
nity in this sad hour. of their bereavement.
They were unfortunately away on a visit to
friends in New York State, and returning
yesterday morning on the first train they
were met by friends at South Nor-
walk with the sad intelligence. Verily this
was a sad home—coming indeed, tofind thus a
kind and indulgent husband and father, who
but a few days before in u‘sual good health
bid them a kindly and loving good-bye,
now on their return, without any previous
warning or_anuouncem'ent, still and rpld in
death: ‘
Mr. Weed will be missed by the commu-
'nity at large as well asby thelmore immediate
circle of family friends and relatives, as he
was held in much esteem by all who had
acquaintance with him; He was but about
48 years of age. His loss will make a sad
voidin the business circles of our town.
SYDNEY W. Barns
Died on Thursday last, at the residence of
his father-in-law, W. K. Lewis, Esq, ill the
thirty-fourth year of his age. He was the
second son of the late Isaac S. Beers, of this
place. Since arriving at mauhOod's estate he V
has chiefly resided in New York and vicinity,
where he was engaged in business. His
death was quite sudden. He leaves a wife
and several children. His older brother,
Henry, died suddenlyseveral years since,
and the youngest brother is now the only
surviving member of the family.

The New Railroad.
The purchasers of the right of .way for the
New Parallel Railroad arrived in town last
week, following up the surveyors closely.
They report that theyhave already contract-
ed for the purchase of about all the land re-
quired between New Haven and the Borough
of Norwalk, that they are generally Well re—
ceived along the line, and succeeded in mak-
ing much better terms than were offered
some six years ago when the Railroad pro—
ject was being agitated.
During the week the surveyors have been
at work in the vicinity of Lamb‘s shop,-
Main street, where it is generally believed
the Norwalk depot is to be located, and
thence on to West Norwalk. They were
back here again on Saturday. The line
through Norwalk seems to run vcgy straight
with the exception of the curve at Lamb's
shop. It runs through Miss A. B. Smith‘s
homestead lot, through the Jonathan Camp
farm, through James Sherwood's' place to
Lamb’s shop, thence curving to the north-
west and in a bee line through the-amphithe-
atre property, crossing Catharine street just
west of Fair street, through Mr. Wiseman’s
corner lot, taking ctfthe rear of D. Nelson’s
place, crossing the river near the powder
house and on to a low point'onthc north
slope of Spring Hill. So far as we have
heard it gets through town without striking
a single residence, which is all the- more re-
markable asthe line seems to be so generally
straight. - -

Waring, who told her story as she has told
it several times before. ‘
The cost to the State of the last trial was

GOING Ween—The sale of the corner drIig
store by Mr. Charles S. Prowitt to Mr. How—
ard Bette, which has been under negotiation
for several weeks, was consummated last
Wednesday, and the “cfiicial” announcement
is made in to—day’s paper. Mr. Bette, the
new proprietor, is well known to our citizens
having been trained to the business at this
store, which he left several years since to
accept a position in a drug store in West
Meridcn. He is young and active and will
be sure to succeed. Mr. Prowitt leaves with
thedesign of establishing a similar business
in Denver, believing that a residence there
will prove beneficial to his wife's health.
We are very sorry to lose him, for old Nor—
walk can ill-nfiord to part with young men
of his high character. We commend him to
the citizens of Denver as a gentleman in
whom they can place implicit confidence. an
apothecary whohas been. carefully trained
to the profession, and a business man who
will be sure to prove a desirable acquisition.
May his lines fall in pleasant places, and
may prosperity smile upon him.

Barnum‘s Show Bills furnish as fresh and
entertaining reading as the latest dime novel.
As works of the imagination they are equal
to Munchausen. One instance is the state—
ment that he totesaronnd an 80 ton cannon
from which the beautiful Zazel is projected
60 feet. An ordinary platform car,we believe,
is calculated to carry about ten tons; at this
rate it would take a train of eight cars to
convey that gun from city to city. How he
manages to cart it from the cars to the tent
and then back in the night time,is more than
we can conceive—we give it up. Nothing is
said about the projecting power,but innocent
people are led to suppose that it requires a
full charge of powder to eject the damsel
from the gun and project her “nearly sixty
feet.” Really an 80 ton gun in good fighting
trim ought to send her at least the .length of
the tent.

Collision.
The steamer Rhode Island, of the Provi-
dence line, collided with an unknown schoon~

The Democrats will hold their caucus to
.elect delegates to the state convention, on
Tuesday evening the 20th, in the council
roomjon Haviland street. .
Messrs Tierney, O’Neil and Day,were elec-
ted delegatcs to attend the Hatters' National
convention,at Orange, New Jersey, in June.
"The batters have not been very busy during
the past week.
Nel Hoyt has gone to keeping house. That
is right, that is the way all young men should
start out in life, get married first,and then go
to keeping house. - ‘
The new time table on the Railroad goes
into effect on Monday, May. 3rd. We under-
stand there is to be an extra train to‘this city
in the afternoon.
The new paper did not make its appearance
this week. Cause:
The German Singing club, give a ball to.
night (Monday) at their Hall on Washington
street.
The new tenement house being erected by
Gen. Taylor, on Day street is progressing,and
will be completed about July 1st,.
H. H. Elwell is repairing his front stoop.

One to get an idea how rapidly our city is
growing should take a stroll upon the “hill"
and on looking down can see here and there
appearances of new buildings, some about
completed, others just being commenced, al—
together it lookalike prosperity. v
Charley Crnw, better known as “Muxy”
has been visiting the city for a few days.
What agitates the minds of the Old Hen
Club at present is how to utilize the banne
containing the portrait of General Guyer,
painted by the artist (2) Green about four
y'ears ago, when he was nominated by the
democrats to run“ against. Dudley. As the
club is divided politically, it is going to be
a pretty hard matter to reconcile them.
The republicans say they can use it for most
any. of their candidates and therefore should
have the use of it, while on the other hand
the democrats says it has such a “Jackson-
inn look," that it should be kept in their
party. Now, we don’t know how this mat-
ter will end, but we do think, that the orig—
inal (or the one it was intended for,) should
have something to say about its disposition.
We were satisfied in our own mind at the
time it was stretched across the streety it
would defeat the General.s Some thought
it was an announcement of a tight rope per—
formance, others said there was to be a
balloon ascension, it was evidently the peo-
ple did not recognize the portrait and it was
not knownlthnt the General was in the field.
Therefore I say let the injured party dis -
pose of the banner in the way he sees fit.
The new presiding elder preached in the

John Holland's new confectionery store is

It is only necessary for-a person to look at

beer tastes as good as the banner looks he is
assured of a good business.

which give a. momentary whiteness to the
