Norwalk 3. Q \ Gazette. Tuesday, May 25th, 1880. Editorial Letter. WASHINGTON, May 23, 1880. Dunn (insurm— . The sporting men rather than congressmen held the public intereét here all last week. The running races at the National Fair Grounds the fore part of the week were largely attended, and Southern Congressmen formed a good sprinkling of the crowds. On Tuesday Congressman Joe Blackburn rose and shouted from the judges’ stand, in tones that might have been heard half way to’his native Kentucky, that “on the morrow that the races would commence earlfand be con— cluded in time for all present to return and witness the great Potomac boat race." This was received with wild cheering, and none more vociferously yelled than a knot of Con- federate Congressmen, who were equally full of “noise and fury” and old bourbon whisky. rI'here were a very large number of the finest and most celebrated running horses in Amer- ica present, and the races are pronounced as the most successful of any ever held south of Baltimore. run near men. A more unmitigated fizzle was never wit- nessed than the Courtney and Hanlan scull race On Wednesday. Courtney’s complete “give out" and “flunk” was most abject and pitiable, and he had the good sense to leave the city before the swearing multitudes of his former friends and backers were astir. The only thing grand and entertaining about the entire affair was the magnificent spec- tacle of one hundred thousand people lining either shore of the Potomac from old George- town down to Long Bridge, and crowding the decks of hundreds of gaily decanted vessels. Thousand of spectators had arrived from the remotest corners of the United States and British Provinces. They were at least entitled to a decent pretense of a con- test, but we have many times seen more in- teresting and exciting races up and down the mud channel of our harbor,between Selleck’s School Navy and some belated Norwalk oystcrmall. Courtney had worn such a hang-dog cast of countenance for several days before the race, that those hoping he would win began to fear that he would skulk from the contest in some way before the time for rowing should arrive, and it is no doubt due to referee Blai— kie that he put in an appearance at all. His brother asserts that he was really and truly sick and totally unfitted to even enter his boat, but the referee insisted that he should row if he did not pull three strokes. He was also threatened with mob violence, if he threw the face, by the gang of New York rowdies who had no doubt periled their to— bacco and whiskey capital. He finally prom- ised to appear and do the best he could, if the race could be postponed an hour that the heat might be less oppressive. This Hanlan gladly amented to, and at the designated time the two champions shot from the wire. Courtney had a.clear lead at the start, but after the fourth or fifth stroke seemed to give completely out, steered wildly, his strokes were feeble and uneven, and when he passed your correspondent, a few rods below the starting point, his eyes looked as aimless and wild and be lolled about in his shell in such a manner that we believed him to he certainly drunk and expected momentarily to see him tumble into the water, while Hanlan had without efiort forged full three boat lengths ahead of him. 7 It is claimed for the poor fellow that he experienced a severe sunstroke last year and that since then his nervous system gives completely out on the slightest strain or ex- citement. -His physician says he slept none the night before the race, ate nothing during the entire day and had drank nothing but water and a glass of ginger ale just as he stepped into his boat. Other doctors say that his sunstroke would be likely to produce just the symptoms, he exhibited. His appar ent want of any seeming purpose or desire to do even the best he could was so conspicuous and exasperating to the crowds, many of whom had sweltered from before noon till six p. m , in the broiling sun, that we fear more than one good man thought “cuss words" even if restrained by grace from audibly expressing them. Courtney may be more deserving of pity than censure, but if so, he will never or ought never to appear in a public contest again. His former records prove that he has made far better time than Hanlan made here, but the latter made no effort, and. his backers say he would have rowed the five miles in thirty minutes or less had it been necessary. He is a beautiful and graceful oarsman and so courteous, frank and gentlemanly in department that he won all hearts here. Growing out of his “ walk over” is a race with Riley, of Saratoga Lake, to come off over the same course on Wednesday next. Riley, by permission of the referee, started out and led the contestants by several rods, and showed clearly that he will be able to put Hanlan to his best in order to retain the champion belt now claimed by him. This race it is claimed will be honestly and hotly contested, whatever the result. but of course the public interest in the event is practically discounted. . ADJOURNMENT. It cannot be said that the outlook for adjournment is as flattering as it was ten days ago. There is a growing disposition to pass the Bayard marshal’s bill in the House before adjournment, and it is hardly possible to do it by the 31st of May. The chances are that if ‘ Congress _is in session on the second day of June that it will stillbeiu session on the second day of July. All yesterday was wasted in the House dis— cussing thejpublic building appropriations, and in the Senate the day was occupied in a further wrangle over the electoral count Bill. , SENATOR GORDON. The Herald says the Georgia Senator has set the best example possible to: some of his fellow senators by resigning. The senator is an able man and his “methods” on a much higher plane of honesty and consistency than his colleague Ben. Hill, who is known to be on unfriendly terms with him. Gov. Brown of Ga., his successor is said to be a man of upright personal character and ability. PENSIONS. Any discharged soldiers of the United States who has not made application for pension on account of wounds or disability received while in the service, must do so before July 1,.1880. After that time pen- sions will date only from the time of appli- cation. The same is true regarding applica— tions for additional bounty yet claimed by many soldiers. NEW r. M. GEN. The appointment of Horace Maynard now Minister to Turkey, to be Gen. Key’s sue cessor is well received, though several an employed patriots can’t see why the Presi- dent need send sofar for a Postmaster General. The friends of Gen. Tyner, who had hoped for another exhibition of adher- ence to the President’s civil service theories, are quite disappointed. GENERAL Armorms'rrous. The committee on appropriations in the House have reported the Sundry Civil Bill. This is the omnibus bill or catch basin that carries all the odds and ends of government. All miscellaneous disbursements and expen- ditures under control of the various executive departments are provided for in this bill. The Treasury Department having charge of all light houses, life saving stations and buoys, &c., the appropriations for all these matters are provided for only in the Sundry Civil Bill. The resolution of Mr. Miles for an appropriation for improvements in Stem. ford harbor comes under this head and the. committee have recommended the follow- ing: . “For the improvement in Stamford Har— bor in the State of Connecticut, twelve thousand dollars; , five thousand dollars t heat to be used for the establishment of a agymark on Harbor mags, and seven ' A J. 1 thousand dollars thereof for the establish- ment of a ligw on Forked Rock.” Some not familiar with the details of congressional legislation have supposed the Stamford appropriation properly belqnged to the River and Harbor Bill, but such is not the case. Mr. Wait has also succeeded in getting included in lines 175 to 178, in the same bill, an appropriation large enough to cover the placing of several buoys in Mystic River, in his District. Col. Wait madean earnest and thoroughly conclusivo argument before the appropriation committee, Thurs- day cvening last, in support of his Bill appropriating $136,000 for the construction of a building 05x275 feet on the navy yard property of the government at New London, for a Drill Room, for the Naval apprentices. a Hospital Repair Shop and lofts for storage purposes. The Secretary of the Navy had strongly recommended this appropriation in a special report to the committee, but it ,whs rejected upon the claim that no appropria- tions were being made for theeonstruction of new buildings at . any of the other naval- stations in the country. The friends of the measure insisted with Secretary Thompson that this building was specially neeeded at this time, to furnish proper accommodations for the five or six hundred lads on board the training ship which the Secretary has deter- mined to station at New London. The Republicans on the committee voted solid- ly for the measure with one or two' democrats, but a majority of the com— mittee voted it down.'No one ever made a more resolute struggle for a measure of local importance than did Colonel Wait, and he was carried down with all his colors flying by the force of a purely partisan majority. cusnrr son suns. Connecticut has standing to her credit at the ordinance Oflice some $1,700, or just about enough to furnish one company of her Na- tional Guard with arms of the most improv- ed patterns. This sum is now subject to requisition,and if our Norwalk “soldier boys" just organized have not secured their guns now isagood time to get the Connecticut authorities to obtain them by drawing upon Gen. Bennett. ‘ , _ swarm sorroors. . The Sabbath schools of the city had ar- ranged a mass meeting upon the beautiful grounds of the Smithsonian Park, Saturday afternoon, but it was postponed by reason of a much- needed drenching rain. Secretary Thompson, Senator Ferry and Representa- tive J. R. Hawley, of Connecticut, were to have addressed them. . COOKING. The only Congregational church here, be— lieving no doubt in the proverb that God furnishes us food and the devil the cook,have had in their church parlors during all the week past, the noted instructor in cooking, Miss Corsan, giving lectures and practical illustrations in every detail of the cooking art, to the cdification of matrons and maids and the hopeful delight of the lords of crea- tion. 0 . PERSONALS. Ex-Goveruor Minor was among those caught here last Week, although he will-not admit that he came hither to be swindlcd on a boat race, and he probably didn’t. Judge Cowell, of Waterbury, who was once a law partner of the now famous Finley, was sub— poened here by the latter to testify as to his, Finley’s, handwriting. Yesterday William S. King was subpoened on the same subject matter. Geo. E. Miller and Eugene L. Boyer were here to witness the boat race. Though disagreeably fooled on the sailing, they never saw the nation's capital at better advantage. A. W. Sanford, of Stamford, accompanied Governor Minor here. Dr. Poet of Bridge- port, staid over to witness the boat race and was assigned a place on the press boat by referee Blaikie. The Doctor sails for a sum- mer’s sojourn in Europe in J une. Hon. Gideon Hollister, of Litchfield, was here last week, as was Editor Troup of the New Ha- ven Union and Friend Smith of Bridgeport. Lewis Stanton of Hartford, who was‘chair- man of ' the last House of Representatives, is here on his first vis’; the Capital. Com- mOdOrc'S. 0. Gardne , -- r., of New London, was here, Friday, looking after the Thames River appropriation in,_the River and Harbor Bill. The “clans” are preparing for an exe- dus to Chicago the last of the week. Senator Platt has gone to Connecticut for a few days. As ever, B. SchOol Entertainment. The pupils of the Over River School annowcc an entertainment to take place at the Opera House on Friday evening, of this week. The programme is in two parts, comprising an Operetta by some sixty of the younger children, and-an Extravaganza by the elder pupils. The entertainment given by this school last year was very largely attended and gave excellent satisfaction, and we have no doubt the Opera House will be crowded on this occasion. The admission has been put at the low priceof 25cents, including reserved seats. Seats can be secured at Stanley's and Piaisted’s tO-mor- row. m Masonic. On Monday e'ning of next week, May 316i, Grand Master John H.Barlow of Bitin- ingham, will pay an ofiicial visit to Old Well Lodge, and confer the 3d degree.

Hoyt. The painful and startling news of the sud- den deathiof NOAH W, Home, of New Canaan, spread rapidly through our community and the state, on Thursday lash. At the time of his decease and from the period of Mr. Lin- coln’s first administration, he had been postmaster at New Canaan. He had many times represented his town in the Legisla— ture and held local ofiices of honor and trust.- He was friendly to all, and had fewer enemies than any man we ever knew of such pronounced and resolute convictions. But he was so conscientious and transparently upright and honest in all he thought or did, that none could reasonably take offence however ‘much they might differ with him in opinion. Always earnest and zealous in all he undertook or did, be naturally was looked up to as a leader, and in the politics of our state and nation few were better, or even so well informed, or more successful in inspiring others with confidence in his con- victions. He was 'a true and steadfast friend. Aman in whose heart there never was a shadow of guile. He was widely known throughout our state as an ever active and earnest Republican worker, and where- ever and by whomsoever he was ever known he was esteemed and beloved. His death is a sad blow to his stricken family 'and an almost irreparable loss to the community in which he lived so long and was in so many ways so helpful. Our state, which he served with fidelity and wisdom and honored with a pure and blameless life and a noble citizenship, also suffers loss, while those: who like the writer, have enjoyed his inti macy and affectionate regard for years, cx— periencc all the pangs of the tenderest per - sonal bereavement, and will ever cherish his memory as among the most sacred and pricele54 of treasures. God grant that the unexpwted bereavement, which so impres- sively reminds us of our own mortality and the littlencss of all earthly concerns, in com- parison with the eternal realities to which we so rapidly tend, may prove a chastened sorrow, softened by the recollection of his goodness and the abiding thought that a. friend has departed, against whom no human tongue can justly speak ill. Peace to his ashes. 'rns FUNERAL. The funeral took :plsce on Sunday after— noon, at St. Mark’s church. the attendance being very large. The religious services were conducted by the Rev. '1‘. B. Fogg, assisted by the Rev. Mr. French, of Darien. He was buried with Masonic honors by Harmony Lodge,of which he was a member,t.he exercises being conducted by Brother A. C. Golding,of 'Norwalk, as a representative of the grand Lodge. The 'Masonic Lodges of Norwalk, South Norwalk, Darien, Stamford and Ridge- field were invited, and large delegations were present. The Odd Fellows were also out in large force, the New Canaan Lodge being joined by lsige delegations from Norwalk -and Stamford. Many citizens of_.Norwalk and adjacent towns swelled the numbers in attendance, and only a small portion of the people present could gain admission to the church. ‘ M Danbury & Norwalk Railroad Bonds.

The first announcement of a Festival is a rather novel one. Instead of being held in a warm hall, with Old and familiar surround- ings, it is to be held under a Tent where everything will be fresh and cool.

Do not confound them with tax collectors, mil— itary enrollment men, highway robbers,‘or— book agents or life insurance men. Ofiicer Sheldon arrested a man named Device, Sunday, for being drunk and disor—‘ derly. The man resisted, and in the melee following, the large plate glass window in Betts’ drug store was broken. It cost at least a hundred dollars, but was insured. . o The Census. ‘Enumerators will commence the work of tak- ing the. 10th Census on Tuesday, the 1st day of'IJune instead of on Monday, the 7th, as per former announcement. Each enumerator is obliged to visit each house in his district and? to collect his in- formation personally, not by. deputy. He has four chief schedules to fill out, relating re— spectively 10‘ population, agriculture, manu— factures, and mortality. The schedule of population requires information of each person’s name, age, color, sex, condition (married, widowed or divorced, or single,) occupation, and various other personal eta. tistics. The agricultural schedule embodies 100 questions, as follows: ' . The person who conducts a farm is to state If he is the owner, or if he rents for money or a share of; the products ; what part of his farm is improved and what unimproved, the value of his farm, including land, fences, buildings, farming implements, machinery, and live stock; the cost of building and repairing fences, the cost of fertilizers, the amount of farm wages, the number of weeks of hired labor, including housework, the es- timated value of farm productions, and the average of grass lands mom and the pro- ducts harvested in 870; the horses, mules and neat cattle, and heir products on hand, June 1, 1880, the milk disposed-of, and the butter and cheese made in 1879 ; the num- ber of sheep and lambs on hand June 1, 1880, and the number born, disposed of slaughter- ed Or lost froni different causes In 1879; the amount of fleeces; the inumbcr of swrnc on hand June 1, 1880; the number Of poul— try cn band June 1, 1880; the eggs produced in 1879; a statement of the crops in 1879 of barley, buckwheat, Indian corn, oats, rye, wheat, Canada peas, beans, flax in its differ- ent forms, hemp, sorghum and maple sugar and molasses, broom corn, hops, Il'lSll po— tatoes, sweet potatoes, apples and peaches with the total value of orchard products of all kinds, the value of products sold from nurseries, the grapes sold and the winemade the value of produce sold from market’gar- dens,the honey and wax produced,the amount of wood cut in forests and the value of all forest product. The census enumerator’s oath isas follows: I — an enumerator for taking the tenth census of the United States, do solemn- ly that I will make a true and exact enumeration of all the inhabitants within the subdivision assigned to me, and will also faithfully collect all other statistics therein as provided for in the act for taking the tenth census, and in conformity with all law- ful instructions which I may receive, and will make due and correct returns thereof as required by said set; that [will make and file the list of inhabitants required to be made and filed by the sixth section Of‘ the not approved April 20, 1880, and‘ that I will - not otherwise disclose any information con- tained in the schedules, lists or statements obtained by me to any person or persons except to my superior ofiicer,so help me God. .....____.__.

The Danbury folks talk of erecting alargc tent under which to serve the collation on the day of the Soldiers’ Monument Celebra-' tion.

The banquet was served at the Sterling House, and was a very claborgte affair, it taking two and one—half hours to discuss the viends before coffee, cigars and speeches were in— troduced. ’ Census Supervisor Disbrow is compliment- ed by the Bridgeport Farmer because he has made appointments of enumerators "in full accordance with not only the letter of the law, but its nonpartisan spirit. They are equally divided politically, and the men are all fully competent to their duties. For having thus fairly executed the law, he is entitled to and will doubtless receive the commendation and support of the Democrat- Ic papers.” Park street has a mystery. Under the shadow of three churches evil ways abound, and poultry is abnormally active. One gen— tleman has lost many chickens, another a lot of ducks, and still Others more chickens. The cause of their taking off is unknown, and many are the spec 'ons. Some body increases the interest these mysterious disappearances by avefring that they have heard noises at night sounding like a strange animal running up and down Bark Mill brook, while others say that most of the missing chickens were just right for broiling and intimating their belief that they were taken by “two—legged rats.” Nsw Boone—A.
