The House; under theycrack of Sam Ban-J
dall‘s whip, itndwdcsper'atcl'y straggling 'for
an early adjOurnment. Gibson, on Friday,
introduced a joint resolution providing for
an adjournment on the last day of instant
May. The story goes that an'anxious Demo-
cratic member, who saw the necessity of se—
curing some local measure before his renomi-
nation should occur at home, demanded to_
know of "the-Speaker why he was sblpersist,
ent in his'déterminati‘on to adjourn, when to
do so meant the throwing overboard of every
description ‘of‘ legislation, outside of the ap—
propriation bills, and the probable loss to
the party thereby of several Democratic con:
gressional districts. and Randall’s reply is
thus given: "‘Don’t you know it will never
do to have Congress sit a day after Tildcn’s
nomination? The Repuplicans would raise
b—l with us." Thereis no doubt entertained
here but that Tllden himself is at the bottom
of all this scrabble to get away before the na-.
tional conventibns are held. 'l‘hcre ought to
be and ought‘to have been no good reason
why Congress should not be able to thus ad
journ without injury to any interest. Had
any dilligent 'use of the time_ since
last December been made, all needful meas—
ures might have been enacted. As'it is,
nearly everything other than the imperative
appropriation bills ‘will be shoved aside.
There are tens of thousands ciaimsand bills.
of relief affecting individuals and cdrpora—
tions that will not be touched, and the un—
popularity and complaint incident thereto
will seriously handicap the Democracy in
their approaching Presidential and Congresl
sional campaigns. But, the dread that the
Republicans in Congress will make more
damaging party capital against them in the
now conceded'event of Tilden’s nomination,
seems to induce them to rather meet the
complaints of constituents for neglect of
duty than to endure the hammering sure to
follow a continuance of the session. Opin—
ions seem to be about evenly divided as to -
the possibility of ndjourning this month,
but the probabilities would seem to be on the
side 'of the final adjournment by June 1st, as
it is understood .the Republicans will not
oppose the majority in this purpose and the'
House passed-such a vote yesterday after—,
noon. - _ - .
run KELLOGG ossn. _
The Kellogg case has“ occupied the atten—
tion of the Senate the past weekend-several
able speeches ,llave been made. That of
Wade Hampton’s, in Kellogg's defence, has
, practically settled the case. Kellogg will not-
be unsealed. '
DAVIS HATCH. ‘
On Thursday in the Senate Mr. Eaton rose
and said: I desire tonresent the petition of
Davis Hatch, a citizen of State of Connecti-
cut and of the United States, praying for
relief. _I Ought to say that I am by no means
certain that the allegations set forth in this
petition are true, and I do not know butjthat
the petition should be presented in another
branch of the Federal Legislature; but as a
representative from the State where this.
citizen resides, and as he requests that it be;
presented to the Senate,- 1 present his petition
and ask that it be read. Mr. Edmunds ob~
jected to the reading under the rule, and so
it went over till Friday then quite a spirit-
cd debate sprung up between Mr. Eaton,
Senators Platt and Conkling,which consumed
the whole of the morning hour. The long
petition of Mr. Hatch was spread upon the
Record by Mr. Eaton, and . recites in detail
the grievances he was subjectedto while in
the hands of Baez, in Santo Domingo, and
in which outrage he charges Gen. Babcock
with being a eo-(mspirator withWBaez. . The
petition was referred to Senator Eaton’s
committee of Foreign Relations. Senator
Eaton at the same time presented the follow-
ing resolution: ‘
Resolved, That it is the duty of the Gov—
ernment of the United States and its civil
and military .ofilcers‘ to'exert all proper and
legitimate means to protect the rights of
citizens of the United States temporarily
being in foreign Countries against the arbitra-
ry acts of the authorities thereof.
. THE mvnn AND nannon mm.
The House committee on Commerce has
decided to make a effort to secure the pas- .
sage of the River andHarbor bill on Mdnday
next, under a suspension of the rules. Con—
necticut has fared unusually well in’this
year’s appropriations.
run NATION’S DISGRAOE.
The closing of United States Courts, the
cutting off of gas and water from the Post
Offices and Custom Houses for want 'of nec—
essary appropriations on the part of the ob—
struction majority in Congress,is everywhere
felt to be a national disgrace, but as it can in
a party sense only be harmful to the Demo—
crats themselves, there maybe some gain in
opening the eyes of the country to the char '.
acter of the men who seek to gain national
control in the coming presidential election.
The Star here," a' newspaper under Demo—
cratic man- gement, commenting on this gen—
eral subject, says: _
“It might be supposed that the Democratic
party had learned from experience that
“cheese—paring economy" does not pay as a
political investment; but it has not. The
Democrats in the House vie with each other
in offering amendments to the legislative ap-
propriation bill to cut down the wages of
watchmen, laborers and other low-salaried
government employee. Cutting down the
wages of government employes does not
save the tax-payers of this country enough
to make it a matter of any interest to them,
and no party gains any votes by it."
One thing may be depended upon and that
is these penny whistle dcmagogu'cs in Con-
gress will never be caught cutting down their
own salary or iopping off. a single one of the
many perquisites attaching to the Congress-
man. -
THE ROOMS.
The angry split in the Republican ranks at
Chicago has started out a fresh herd of
“dark horses.” Mr. Windom, the clear—
head and warm-hearted Senator from
Minnesota has been much talked of, and
certainly the Republicans at their coming
convention could do a vastly weaker thing
' than to honor him with the nomination.
Ids—Secretary of State Hamilton Fish is also
frequently mentioned with commending ad-’
miration for the place. Roscoe Conkiing has
many friends who urge his prominent abili-
ties and great oratorical and statesmanship
qualities. Perhaps in and about Congress,
more of the wise and thoughtful have turned
with longing eyes to the venerable Senator
Kirkwood, of Iowa, who was one” of the
famed number of Lincoln’s favorite “war
Governors,” and who now in his second
term of service in the Senate, is deemed one
of the celest-headed and largest-hearted
men in that body. Every one relies on his.
good common sense and innate practical wis-
dom. In every matter of state-craft or leg-
islation, his judgment is always relied upon
as comprehensive and unerring. Would
that the country nfight be assured of a presi-
dent equally wisc and good. ,
The sharper politicians do not hesitate to
avow that the row in Chicago has virtually
defeated both Grant and Washbum and
many go so far as to say it must needs
. slaughter Blaine's chances as well. Well-
posted Illinois Republicans assert that it is a
personal quarrel between Logan and ex-Con-
grossman Farweli, for which Blaine can in
no way be held responsible. While admit-
ting the‘ damaging nature of their quarrel
upon the prospects of either Grant or
Washbnrn, they claim it, isnot deserving the
serious national consideration given it. But
the conceded loss of congressional districts
likely to grow out of Grant’s candidacy, will
'be very likely to ‘fatally affect his chances'for
the nomination, thus leaving Blaine the next
strongest candidate in the field and the con-
jecture, and it might be said, the fears of the
Blaine men are that all the opposition will
combine to slaughter him as well. Be this
as it may, there is no disguising the fact
that since the Chicago quarrel the Sherman
. spect and ecstasy and have engendered .‘no‘f
“boom" has attained proportions never at-
of Congress, at the hotels and on the streets,
that inasmuch as thc_’Sherman men here it.”
treated alliopptonentsiwith considerate 1'"
hostilities, his chances for the nomination
are at this date the begt of any candidate.
‘Hisl'ofiicial honesty and purity of personal
character; his familiarity with and conspic-
uous ability in the admininistration of public
affairs, all concede, and render him a safe
and Eunassailablfie. ,candidate,. while if“ suc-
cessful management of our financial affairs,
"which has so gloriously resulted in bringing
work and bread for our laboring masses once
't'noré, render'him, in the judgment of .our
'wisest Republican leaders, really the most
3 aeal'ktble candidate that can be put in nomi—
nation. Certainly Connecticut would have
jest 'cause for a proud satisfaction in a con-
summation so devoutly to he wished. In.
connection with‘tlle growing probabilities of
Mr. Sherman‘s nomination, the name of Gen.
H‘owlt-y is freely canvassed for the second
place on the ticket. He would give a swell
of political enthusiasm to any ticket, and
gratify the soldier clement, now so rightfully
recognized by the National Repupublican
mentioned as a possible and, popular candi-
date for the same place.
. : PISCICUL'I‘URE,
It is known that the government is now
doing much towards stocking the waters of
our country with the best fishes. Quite
= extensive hatching ponds have been con—
structed near the Washington monument,
and the past week the Carp, brought from
ermaliy three years ago, were transferred
ponds. These Carp are claimed to. be even
superior to our salmonpr brook trout. They
are the aristocratic fish ‘of the Continent of
Europe at least,'and grow very large and
very ,rapidly and multiply with enormous
prodigality. There; were fish. Only three
yea‘rs‘old which'we saw taken opt that must
have weighed from four to seven pounds.
The purpose is to place them in the waters
about; the counrtry for propagation just as
soon as sufficient numbers are raised fora
fair and general distribution.
l om: orsrnn TRADE.
Mr. J. R. Sutton, local inspector of marine
productsgeports the amount of oysters arriv-
ed here from the 1st of September, 1879, to
the 3:0th of April, 1880: In 170 different
sailing vessels, 324,475 bushels; 'in‘ three
steamboats, 46,934. bushels; total, 371,429
bbshcls. Total number of bushels condemn-
ed w ‘ 10,939. - The reports on this branch
‘ of tho subject further says that aiming the
food (reports of America, which have attain-
ed so ‘remfirkable . ‘a growth "during the past
half dozen years, oysters hold an honorable
' place; In 1875 a few barrels’ of- them were
sent to England as an experiment; the fol—
lowing year,~5 upwards of forty thousand bar-
rels; the year after. upward of fifty thou-
sand;iin 1878, nearly eighty thousand; in
1829, lininety thousand; while the present
year will probably show an export of a bun-
dred thousand barrels, worth half a' million
dollars. In this shipment. of oysters to
Europe Virginia and Maryland hold the
first \place'and Connecticut the second.

conclusion that the present lav'vs justify

daily skimming the Potomac in their shells
preparatory to their race on the 19th. An
immense concourse of people are expected
here and already the police report the city

thieves; The horse racing excitement pales
before oarsmen, which is {Erhaps an encour—

iron fence around the cemetery instead of a
wooden picket f'enccas contracted for. The
iron fence, we are informed, can now be
erected at a comparatively moderate cost,
and the difierencei'betwcen an iron anda

AS" the time of holding the Republican
National Convention approaches it is evident
that there will be. nothing for it to do, but, to
go through certain forms and reel off the
requisite red tape necessary to put the ”nom-
inations before. the people properly. The
leading papers have all settled the Presi—
dential nomination in advance,and can fix up
the other nomination at a day‘s notice. One
has the vote all figured out beyond reasona—
bic doubt that the great Captain of the age
will lead the Republican hosts to victory,
while another has positive figures showing
that Blaine is certainly the coming than.
Still others insist that Sherman, Washburne
or Edmunds will secure the requisite num-
ber of. votes, and everything has all been cut
and dried-However, some of the great Pres-
'ident makers may slip up in their conclusion,
and the Convention may not prove so tame
an afiair after all and some man not yet men-
tioncdf for that position may carry off the
prize, ‘and, why may not that man be Gen.
Janus AJG‘ARFIELD, of Ohio. Who more.
modedt, more worthy, than'he, or who would
fill the chair to the satisfaction of the whole
American people, than be? If a new man is
to hav:e it, let Garfield be the man, say we.
' m
'- ThelpersiSteht attempts to save the life of
Edwin Hoyt, the Sherman murderer, failed,
and the sentence of the court was carried into
effect on Thursday last, in the jail ynrd, at
Bridgeport. The hanging was witnessed by
several hundred people. After he was pro-
nounced dead, experments were made by
physicians to revive himby means, of electri-
cal apparatus, ‘ but withodt success. His
remains were taken to Sherman for' burial.
The story of the‘ murder is still fresh in the
minds of the people. i
The Excursions.
The Odd Fellows have taken hold of their
Rockaway excursion with considerable vim,
' and'evidcntly intend to make it a success, in
spite of opposition. They have all the ne—
cessary funds pledged in advance, and can
efford to be liberal in management. No' one
need stay at. home from fear of a crowd,
however, as the three spacious decks of the
steamer will accommodate as 'many as three
or four ordinary steamers.
The Reform Club of SouthfiNorWalkmaseu-
gaged the same boatzfor an excursion on the
following Monday, alone 21st; to the same
place. .The managers evidently rely upon
drawing out all the friends of temperance for
many miles around. ‘ » .
Change of Pier.
Yesterday the steamer Adelphi made the
long-talked of change of Pier in New York.
Mr. White has abandoned Pier 37, foot of
Market‘Street, and hereafter, will occupy
Pier 22, at Fulton Ferry. This pier is one
of the most convenient, in point of location
of any in the City, and as it is close to Ful-
ton Ferry it is as convenient for Brooklyn
passengers as the landing at Jeweli’s dock.
This change will delight all passengers hav-
ing business down town, and will also be
convenient to shippers of freight by the pro-
peller. Let it be remembered therefore: lst,
"hat the steamer stops at 33d street, each
way ; 2d, that the lower landing i5 at Fulton
Ferry instead of Market street ; 3d, that the
landing at Brooklyn has been given up all.
together.
The Telephone.
The new Stamford and Norwalk telephone
managers have not been a nactivc as they
seem to have been. They 'have been waiting
in order, to obtain recently invented appa-
ratus which is claimed to be far better than
that now in use here, desiring to give their
patrons the best .to be obtained. Among the
improvements contemplated is the introduc -
tion of an apparatus by which calls will be
sounded only on a single bell, dispensing
with the constant jingliug of bells calling
other people. This change will add im—
mensely to-the’populari'ty of the telephone.
The central ofiice in Norwalk is to be remov.
ed to the :Post Office Buildingycity.
On Friday evening next, a special meeting
of stockholders will be held at Stamford, to
consider a proposition offering the- company
additional territory including. Bridgeport,
Fairfield, Trumbull. Stratford, 620.; also to
increase the capitol stock if the proposition is
accepted. '

EnoobuaeING.—As a sig“ of business
having improved with our merchants, Com—-
stock Bros. the well kndwn clothiers report
that their sales for the season thus far is in
excess of_ any previous one since 1875. A
noticeable feature of it is, they say, an in—
creased demand for the better class of goods.
The telephonic connection between their
two stores is of great value, giving their
customers as it were, two complete stocks to
select from, and when the telephone is com—
pleted to their manufactory in New Canaan,
which they confidently expect in the near
future, their facilities will .be unrivaled.
Messrs. Comstock Bros. have by their pru—
dent, tireless business managementattained a
position in the trade second to none, and
well deserve the fine success they have met
with. ’ -

Rice’s Evangeline.
_ Manager Knapp announces another big
card for Music Hall—Rice’s celebrated
“Evangeline" Company, of Boston. This
company‘has established an enviable repu-
tation all through the country, , The Detriot
Free Press of'a late date speaks of the com-
pany'as follows : '
“The reappearance of Rice’s Evangeline
Company last evening was hailed by a very
demonstrative and reasonably large audience.
The popular extravaganza, from which the
company takes its name, has lost none of its
old-time attractiveness., On the contrary,
since it was last seen here two years ago, it
has been materially strengthened by the in-
troduction of considerable good music, and
the engagement f . M'llc Jarbeau, Louise
Searlcand Geo. . Fortesque, who sustain
the roles of ‘Evangeline,’ "Gabriel' and Cath-
erine; in a manner to command genuine ad-
miration. M’lle Jarbeau as Evangeline, is
graciousgandvvivacious in action, and'her
singing is uncxceptionable. The exquisite
rendering of her duetts with Miss sear-le,was
acknowledged by vociferous applause, and
numerous recalls. Miss Searie's 'Gabriel,’
was an extremely ‘natty’ performance; and
Mr. .Fortesque’s 'Catherinc’. was indescriba.
bly ludicrous, but nevertheless artistic.
Harry unter has considerably elaborated
the Lone Fisherman—a creation that stands
alone, _a_nd that has provoked mere laughter,
perhaps, than any other conceit 'with
which present theatre—goers are acquainted.

Wmsss, It hath pleased Almighty Godto
remove from our midst by death, after a long
and painful illness, our friend and fellow
citizen, CHARLES ll. S'rnnnr, late Director
and former Treasurer‘of this institution, we,
the surviving members of the Board of Di—
rectors do place on record and express our
feelings at this sad bereavement, therefore,
Resolved, That .in the death of Mr. Street
we lose an associate who was among the
first of the charter members of this Bank;
one who was long known in this community
as an honorable and upright man. It is. but
a just tribute to the memory of our departed
friend to say that in regretting his re-
moval by death from our midst, we mourn
for one who was in every way worthy of our
respect and regard.
Resolved, That the Directors of this Bank
attend the funeral and that a copy of these

A Valuable Paper ofTobacco. ‘
A distinguished Connecticut clergyman
performed the marriage ceremony fer a
wealthy couple. I Immediately on its conclu-
sion the groom fumbled in his waistcoat pock-
et, and extracting With his thumb and flu—
ger a small package, handed it to the clergy-
man. ,It is not considered etiquette to ex—
amine such a package until after its donor
has departed. The emotions which agitated
the soul of that clergyman. on finding that
the package was nothing but a paper of to—
bacco would be difficult to describe in type.
On the return of the happy pair from their
wedding trip the parson called on them and
took the liberty. of asking the gentleman if
there was not something wrong as to the
fee. With profuse. apologies the gentleman
replied that there was, and that he had in—
tended to 'hand over a one_ hundred dollar
banknote, but that in consideration of the
mistake he would now make it $200. De—
light now; took the place of disgust in the
heart of the clergyman, who gracefully of—
fered to return the tobacco. This‘was as
gracefully declined. and the reverend gentle-
man joyfully pockcted. the weed and the
greenbacks. ' . W ' '
