Editorial Letter.
__ . NIAGARA FALLS, May 28, 1880.
DEAR zenrrnz—
‘. At no Republic“ National Convention has
there ever been snob a numerous and excited
“advance guard" as has preceded and is now
on. route and to follow the, line to Chicago
AsI write, the Blaine Club, consisting of six
Pullman cars and filled with prominent Re-
publicans from'evei'y nook and corner of the
state of Maine, is unloading its crowd of
stalwart supporters of the ‘fPlumcd Knight.”
It is headed by the Governor of the State,
with an able corps of lieutenants, such as
Lewis Barker and others well-known to
campaign fame. There is one marked char-
. :zi'terisl 1c of this Mainc delegaljon, With
hard and bronzed visages and robust bodies
and limbs, the whole ten commandments
gleam from their honest eyeballs and frank,
Opt‘ll faces. They halt here for a three
hours rest and inspection of the falls and
then proceed in their special train to Chicago.
Their presence will be felt, as will the prcs~
once of any such marked body of men, in
favor of the candidate to which they are
attached. There is no parade, show or loud
talk or blaster about this crowd, but they evi«
dently intend to “exhaust all the resources
of statesmanship" in the furtherance of their
resolute purpose to secure the nominationof
James G. Blaine. Mr. Blaine was having a
lively levcc at the New York Fifth Avenue
Hotel, last evening, but his vigilant and un-
tiriiig aid, Wm. E. Chandler,is on the ground
at Chicago, and the car of Mr. Blaine is in
close contact with the frequent electric cur—
rents passing to him from the sleepless Chan-
dlcr.
The Chicago express trains out of New
York, last evening, and for the past two days
have been filled with eager champions of the
different candidates. A new element of op—
position to Grantls nomination seems to have
recently sprung up. It is the peril which
threatens, as it is claimed, a very large num—
ber of Republican congressional districts
throughout the Union. If this shall he sat.—
isfactorily proven to the convention it would
seem that it must. have a damaging effect on
Grant’s prospects. The general drift of sea-
timent expreSsed by such delegates and poli—
ticians as have stated their views in your
correspondent's presence, is that Grant will
most likely fail of a majority’vote in the con-
vention, and when withdrawn his friends
will assault Blainc'w'ith relentless vigor and
shove him asidc'fand then flushed with a
gratifying victory over their Chief adversary
will proceed to slaughter Sherman for no
better reason than that he is the next strong-
est candidate and has dared to frankly avow
himself.willing to receive, if his friends are.
able to confer, the nomination. Washhurn
and Edmunds, too, seem to lack any earnest
following, and the only ilda‘rk horse” that is
apparently acceptable to about everybody, is
Senator William Windom of Minnesota.
May a kind Providence ' open as fortunate
and acceptable-storey out, of what just now
looks very likely-to prove, an angry and pos-
sibly disastrous convention.
That venerable and sagacious political
Richelieu, Thurlow Weed, passes over .the
road to-day‘: it, is said, Chicagoward, with
one hundred anti-Grant men from the city of
New York. ARepublican assembly of cooler
heads less intensely excited, would pay re-
spectful deference to the judgment and opiu-
ions of this unselfish sa'g‘c, but it is doubtful
if his views will have any weight with those
madly intent upon acéomplishing their pur—
pose, even to the last extremity of brute.
force.
Yet, despite the un'wonted excitement and
unprecedented temper exhibited by the
champion of the leading candidates, it is
nevertheless true that the major portion of
our most prominent Republicans are after all,
for the man who is finally nominated, who—
ever he may be, and this is the true spirit-
and the only spirit that will save our party
and the nation four years of the reign of'
Samuel J. Tilden.
Leaving the unbearable heat of New York
Thursday evening, in one of the luxuri-
ous broad gague sleepers of the N. Y. &
Erie Railroad, a cooling shower was encount-
ered just as we were rushing past the west—
ern boundary Lline unctious and creamy
old Orange County. This cooled the air and
revived the blistered herbage and made man
and beast rejoice, and today it seems as if
he had catered upon a cool September
solstice. At Jersey City the thermometer
registered 95° in the shade at 5:30, Tuesday
evening and the suffering of a whole train
load of German, Swedish and Norwegan
cmigranls with their babes and sucklings,
which left an hour bet-e us
is said to have bafiled description,
As, we whirled up into the cooler mountain
i'egimis of old Sullivan and glided along the
grassey valley of the Chenango,:Susquchanna
and Delaware, in our sumptuous Pullman
Palace Hotel car, the thought occurred how
different all this case and comfort to the
modes of westward travel a brief half century
agone. Imperial Caesar never rode the
streets of Rome in the grandest height of his
own or his country’s glory, in anything like
the magnificent state with which the bum—
blcst traveler now whirls from one end of
our continent to the other. In .what marked
contrast was the departure from Norwalk of
the father and mother and sister and brother
of John Sherman, now a possible and even
probable candidate for the presidency. With
their two horse team wagon. devoid of
springs and covered with a linen sheet over
hoop poles circling its top, this family, dis-
tinguished alike as it is, in its ancestry and
descendants, spent the better part of a whole
season, traveling from the sound to the
lakes, sleeping in and under their vehicle and
boarding themselves as best they could,
while traversing the then almost unbroken
wilderness, and this all within the recollec-
tion of scores of our older citizens still living
in old Norwalk. Such is the progress of the
age and such the glorious results of the
inventive genius and push of the indomita—
ble, universal Yankee nation. Earth, and
air and sea and the subtcrancan forces of
unseen electricity have succumbed to the
potent powers of the awakened human in-
tellect, and all become the obedient agencies
of man's progress, upward and onward. So
mote it be. As Ever, 13.
Tho Heated Torin.
We seldom have a hot wave surpassing that
of last week. On Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, the weather was exceedingly op-
' prcssive, the thermometer rising to 90° in the,
shade every day. The extreme heat con-
tinued until the middle of Friday afternoon
when a light shower came up causing a
wonderful change, in thelntmospheric con—
dition, although the fall of rain was very
small. .

Lockwood’s Hall for two years as an armory
with the privilege of sub letting for public
entertainments, die. We. are requested to
state that the Hall will be to real; as hereto-

Stamford people are considerably worked
up because the appropriation of $10,000 for
the improvement of the harbor was stricken
from the river and harbor bill, and Senator
Eaton has been réquested to use his efforts to
reinstate it.-—Palladimn.
If the Palladium will look gt our last week’s
Washington letter it will see that our Stam—
ford friends get twelvc thousand dollars for
their harbor improvements in the Sundry
Civil Bill, the only place where such an ap—
propriation is ever made, as it comes under
the Light House Board and not under River
and Harbor Direction.

A very commendable spirit has ssihed upon
the managersjand' lot ownersin our cemetery
towards an improvement of the grounds and
surroundings.‘ The project of introducing
the‘pablic water is new urged with a reason-
able prospect that it be done. Then with a
dozen or twenty small hydrants introduced
in the several avenues the award and shrub-
bery in the lots can easily be kept green and
thrifty. There is a determination to keep
the weeds and debris and the grass and shrub-
bcrics properly cut. The important improve-
ment under consideration, however, is the
erection of a new iron fence around the plot.
At first the error was made of selling the old
stone wall and settling upon a plan for a
wooden picket fence around the grounds. A
subsequent consideration of 'the fence enter-
prise developed a desire for an iron one in—
stead. This is the present determination, we
believe. “it: trust, howevcnthat a still more.
“sober second thought" will induce the
friends of the cemetery to erect, as the most
suitable, the most economical, a good, sub-
stantial stone wall with some suitable coping
or cappinrr. A wall, somewhat after the
style of that erected by Wm. B. E. Lock
wood, Esq , on France street, and laid in
mortar, would be vastly more appropriate
than an iron or wooden fence, and cost much
less to originally construct and keep in re-
pair. Iron fences require to be frequently
painted to keep them from corrosion and
wooden ones from decay, while the frosts
will soon throw either out of line and shape.
A stone wall can cheaply be covered with
creeping vines and ivies, which would give a
fitting beauty to the enclosure and add a
charm to this sepulchrc of our loved ones
departed. a.

That Soldier Case.
In our editorial letter from Washington
under date of April 18th, the following para-
graph appeared, in reference to a charge
made by :1 Norwalk soldier, to the effect that
his back pay and bounty had been collected
and wrongfully withheld,thc details of which
had already obtained local publicity be—_
fore any of the facts came to our knowledge:
“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
the 20th and also the 5th Conn. Vols. Lnapp
charges that he placed the collection of his
pay and bounty in the hands of 9. Norwalk
lawyer, who assevcrates that he could never
collect the same. The records show that
the money, to the amount of $338.65 was
paid by the War Department through Geo.
E. Miller, cashier, on the 25th of October,
1867, or some twelve years agol The sig—
nature of Knapp to the assignment receipt
for the money is so different 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. Childs has the-papers in
the case and the implicated attorney will
have an early chance, no doubt, to “rise and
explain." 0a the statement of Knapp the
case has an ugly look, but 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.”
We are more than gratified in being able to
state that Assistant U. S. District Attorney
Hart has reported to the Department his be—
lief that Knapp’s signature to the assignment
is genuine. The District Attorney but con-
firms our own personal view of that part of
the issue, and it is the view we strenuously
maintained in exculpation of the attorney at
the Department before this report of Mr.
Hart’s was sent in. It seemed to us then, as
clearly as it does now, that Knapp’s charge
that a fraudulent withholding of his money
was tainted with forgery also, was most im—
probable. We repeat, we rejoice that our
prior judgment has been thus “officially”
confirmed.
While Mrs. W. J. Gunning was leaving
“Stonehenge” in a victoria drawn by.a pair
of spirited horses last Saturday evening at
about five o’clock, one of the horses became
unmanageable and started to run while the
team was going down hill from the place.
The coachman guided them safely down the
hill and over a bridge until near the residence
of Mr. Saunders, when he drove them against
a stone wall hoping to stop their progress.
This was accompished but Mrs. Gunning and
the coachman were thrown out ; the horses
reared, plunged and turned so as to pass over
the lady as she lay prostrate. Mrs. Gunning
however escaped injury from the horses but
sustained a fracture of both bones of the left
leg above the ankle joint on account of the
wheel ' the heavy carriage passing over the
limb. rs. Gregory and Lockwood were
with the injured lady until late at night, and
at this writing she is comparatively comfor-
table, and seems to have sustained no other
injuries, which is considered fortunate after
such exposure to fatal accident.
V _————
In returning from Danbury last Thursday,
a member of Co. B, named John Reid, of
Bridgeport, liada frightful experience. At
Branchville a number of soldiers left the
tr..in to get some water,and as the train start-
ed olf again they ran to get on board. Heid
in some way fell or missed the step, swung
to one side and dropped between the cars
and the platform. Captain Betts, of Co. F,
witnessed the accident,and at once pulled
the bell rope and sfopped the train. Every-
body supposed the man was killed, but he
was found alive and unmutilated; the toes
of both shoes were cut off as if done with a
knife, the flesh not being torn. He was
somewhat bruised, however, and in consider-
able pain, and it was feared that he had suf—
fered internal injuries. When will men learn
‘the danger of running and jumping on trains
of cars in motion ? ,
The OperaHousc was wellfilled last Fri-
day evening by the parenls and friends of the
pupils of the,0ver River School, who gave
'a very enjoyable entertainment. The first
part was performed by some forty of the
younger children of the school, and consis-
ted- of an Operetta entitled “Grandfather’s
Birthday." It passed off in a very pleasing
manner, the youthful voices being fresh and
clear. Miss Terrell presided at the instru—
ment. A “School Extravaganza” followed
in which sixty or seventy of the elder pupils
appeared. This was all in one scene, a
school room at the close of the term, the
teacher calling upon the scholars for‘songs
and exhibition pieces. The teacher is called
out and places the school under the charge
of a monitor,with permission to amuse them-
selves, They continue singing and reciting
exhibition pieces of an amusing character,
and when the teacher returns he brings sev—
eral friends, who in turn favor the audience
with several fine selections—this quartette
comprised Messrs. Green, Price, Hoyt and
Youngs. The musical part of thc entertain -
meat was under the direction of Mr. Green
of Danbury, their music teacher. The sc—
lcctions were all of a humorous nature, and
mum parts were well rendered, the entire
entertainment passing off very smoothly and
in a manner creditable to all concerned.
The census cnumerators will ask twenty-
six questions, but there is no knowing how
many the poor fellows will have to answer.
They will ask the name of every man,woman
and child who resided in the house J one 1,
the color, sex and age of each, whether mar-
ried or single, widowed or divorced, the re—
iationship of each one to the head of the
family, whether wife, son. daughter, servant,
boarder or other. the occupation, trade or
profession, the health, whether blind, deaf,
dumb, idotic, insane, maimed, crippled, or in
any way disabled, whether able to read or
write and the birth place of father and
mother. .

, .The storm of Sunday interfered seriously‘
with the’ plans of the Soldiers in regard to?
the attendance at the church exercises, but
the programme was duly carried out. At the
First Congregational church the Rev. J. A.
Hamilton, chaplain of Buckingham Post, G.
A. R., delivered an able sermon, taking'his
text from lst Peter, 2d chapter, 13-17 ver-
ses. Notwithstanding the storm some fifty
members of the two Posts of the G. A. R.,
attended and were seated in abody. The
music was under the direction of Mr. Gibson,
and the choir was augumentcd for the occa-
sion. There was a fine display of white
flowers and green lives, very tastefully
arranged:
..In the afternoon delegations from the
Posts visited Rowayton where the graves (in
Union cemetery were decorated with flow—
ers. The exercises arranged for the occa-
sion were dispensed with.
Sunday evening the members of ,thc G. A.
. R. again assembled, and marched in the rain
to the East avenue church where the Rev.
Mr. Haulcn beck preached a sermon specially
prepared for the occasion. _
The rain continued through Sunday night,
but Monday morning was clear, bright and
pleasant—delightful weather for Memorial
day. A devoted band of ladies assembled in
GAZETTE Building to arrange the flowers
which were sent in. The floral offerings
were quite abundant, but some ladies must
have practised much self-denial and robbed
their places of all their choicest blossoms.
Flags were displayed at half—mast from
public places, and all along the line of march
the “Dear old Flag" was waving in the
breeze from private houses.
In the afternoon places of business were
very generally closed, and crowds of people
assembled on the streets to view the proces—
sion. . ' '
At half-past one the up-town companies
formed on Wall street. and marched down
West avenue to Elmenworth,where they were
met by the City companies and the line was
formed in the following order :—
Marshal, W. O. Merritt.
Assistant Marshalls, Dr. Ellery C. Clark,
‘ Henry VanHoosear, I. M. Hoyt, H.
' Edmunds

ance. The soldiers may well feel proud of.
the procession. ,
The line of march was down west avenue
to Washington street, thence over the bridge
and. direct to the Down Town Cemetery
where the graves of fallen soldiers were for-
mally decorated, the excremes closing with
three vollies fired by the Burnside Guards.
The march was then resumed up West Ave—
nue to the Bridge, and up Main street to the
Cemetery, where the graves were decorated
as before. The procession then marched to
St. Paul’s churchyard where still other
graves were covered with blossoms. The
line then marched through the Bridge to the
2d M. E. church, where the- Borough com—
panies were dismissed and the city compa-
nies marched down- the avenue to the city.
At Pine Island Cemetery the graves were
visited and'decorated. As we have publish—
ed the list of the dead so many times we re—
frain from repeating it to-day.
The exercises close this (Monday) evening
with an address at Music Hall by Col. H. W.
R. Hoyt of Greenwich. .
A Red Hot Day in Danbury.
Danbury had a hot day for its monumen-
tal celebration, last Thursday—we seldom
have one equally hot. Despite the great
heat, however, there was an immense crowd
of people there to witness the display, and
everything passed off in a highly satisfactory:
manner. -It was a red letter day—a day of
which Danbury may well feel proud. The
parade was a fine one, comprising Police,
Wheeler .87 Wilson Band, the entire Fourth
Regiment, Shield’s Guards, Monumental
Association, St. Peter’s Band, Veterans
- Drum corps, G. A. R. Posts from Danbury,
Bridgeport, South Norwalk, and other
places, the Danbury Fire Departments, Hope
Hose 01)., of Norwalk, New Milford and
Bethel Bands and Fire companies, Gov.
Andrews and staff, Gen. S. R. Smith and
staff and many other dignitaries, &c.
Ex-Gov. Averill presided at the” stand;
prayer was offered by the Rev. A. C. Hub-
bard, the monument was unveiled by Miss
Minnie E. Moore, daughter of Capt. J. E.
Moore who was killed at Gettysburgh.‘ Gov.
Andrews made an excellent opening address.
The address by Hon. S. Fesscndeu, of Stam-
ford, was able and eloquent and delighted all
who could get within reach of his voice.
The collation was served under the Ridge-
field Agricultural Society’s tent, and it is said
that 1,800 people were fed.
In the evening, in the Hall, editor Bailey
delivered the historical address, and W. A,
Croffut, of the Tribune, read an original
poem.
The Parallel.
We are positively assured that “Paul’s"
creaking in regard to this enterprise is en-
tirely unnecessary, and that the project is
being vigorously pushed, and will be brought
to a successful consummation in due time.
The building of a great railroad necessarily
takes much time. Statements about the
breaking of ground, &c., at any specified
time, have not been authorized by the mana—
gers. We are informed that the surveys,
&.c., arc being completed, and will soon be
presented to the Railroad Commissioners for
approval. Mr. Bacon, of the Board, is now
out west, but will soon return, his plans hav—
ing been arranged with a view to being pres
cut when the surveys were submitted. A
large sum of money will be deposited as soon
as the plans are a epted, when the right of
way will be purchased and the work of con-
struction commenced. While we have these
positive assurances to cheer the friends of the
Road, we are not of the number who imagine
the work is to be done by magic, or electrici-
ty, and we are satisfied to wait a reasonable
length of time for the managers to perfect
their plans and put the same into execution.
Festivals.
The Sons of Temperance Festival is to be
held under a tent, on West avenue, this and
tomorrow evenings, J one 1 and 2. “Con—
cord” deserves liberal patronage.
Next week, the East Avenue church hold
a Festival two nights.
0n the evenings of the 15th and 16th the

Festival at the Opera House. Exercises by
the children as usual.
The New York Opera Comedy Company
will present Robertson‘s comedy, “Our
School,” at the Opera House next Friday,
giving a Matinee and an evening performance.
The Company is said to be an excellent one,
comprising several children who have won
great praise as leading performers in Pine-
forc and other operas. The Matinee perfor-
mance will be specially for the benefit of
ladies and children. See adv.

pleases. Mr. Geo. Marvin has recently had
Mr. Hindley repaint his handsome residence,
and in doing so has used six or eight colors

The statement published in the Sentinel
that supernumerary policeman F. A. Scitz,of

the force for an unauthorized display of

A Surprise.
The supply of Southern strawberries has
been small and the quality very poor. We
supposed our local berries would ripen rather
late, but yesterday, May 31st, we were fairly
taken by surprise at receiving a box of her-
ries from Mrs. Comstock, fully ripe, of ex-
quisite flavor,and larger and handsomcr than
any fancy berries we have seen in the New
York market. Mrs. Comstock’s berries
never fail to ripen early, and their virtues are
never surpassed.

EDITORS NORWALK GAZETTE:
The GAZETTE was recieved by me to-day» .
noon, and I was carelessly scanning its col—
umns when my eyes rested upon the death
of Noah W. Hoyt of New Canaan, andI
scarcely was ever more startled in sprprise
than in this announcement, as I had not
heard of his being sick, and the sad throb-
bings of the heart sent a thrill of conscious-
ncss through me that so noble and good a
man had been taken from my native town and
state, and that I would never again be per-
mitted to grasp the hand which responded
to as warm at heart as ever beatin the bosom
of man. Your beautiful tribute of him is
well deserved, and is a just recognition of
his sterling integrity and the undeviating
rectitude of his spotless character, and could
all the generous soul-inspiring attributes of
his nature, which have been sh.crcd upon
the community where he has resided for
upwards of thirty years. be given to the
world, it would fill a volume of beneficcnce,
generous hospitalities and the most cordial
greetings to all classes and conditions of
society, that is never surpassed in the records
of usefulness, and the philanthropic deeds of
men.
From 1848 when I first became acquainted
with him till I left New Canaan in 1868,
there was the most cherished relations be-'
tween us which will never be effaccd from
my memory, and the many manifestations of
kindness shown me by letters &c., will now
in his death leave a void which will be much
missed by me. B. BENEDICT.
“Anything to beat Grant” is the cry at
Chicago of all parties who desire to get in
themselves, and all possible combinations are
made to that end. Poor Grant,he is an awful
fellow, and all simply because he can count
on more votes than any other candidate. And
then Blaine must be slaughtered,also,because
he carries too many guns, while Sherman
must be crowded out because he is pure gold
and.ways at par. Well, thank fortune, we
have good men to fall back upon, and plenty.
of them, and they are all the better for not
seeking and'scheming after the nomination.
So if it should not be Grant, or Blaine, or
Sherman,lt will in all probability be a man in
most respects just as desirable. The Conven—
tion can hardly miss'selecting a good man,
and that is a great satjsfaction. ‘

We know of but one thing that the mana—
gers of the steamboat ‘_have left undone to
please their patrons, and that is to sup-
ply ice water. The water in the tanks
last week was too warm to drink,
and Was the cause of much complaint.
The want of cool water is specially felt
or? the up trip. We presume the matter
has been overlooked, and that the managers
will give directions for supplying the difici-
ency. ~ .

The business of the Housatonic Railroad
is showing a constant and gratifying increase.
The passenger receipts for seven months
endingfipril 30th, amounted to $11,000
more than for the same period last year, the
number of passengers carried being 20,000
more, This increase for the Fall and Win-
ter mchths is very encouraging. The “new
line” to Albany, Troy, Saratoga, &c., seems
to be growing in popularity, and the travel
this year will probably be larger than ever.

According to the Railroad Gazette, the
number of miles of railroad constructed the
past year exceeded by a trifle the Construction
in 1877. In 1872 there Were 8,340 miles of
railroad built in the United States; in 1874
this number was reduced to 2,025, and the
following year only 1,561 miles of new track
were laid. In 1877 the record was 2,281
miles, and in 1878 it rose to 2,620, the largest
mileage since 1873. Of this amount Minne
sofa built the greatest length of any State.
her construction being 338 miles, while that
of Massachusetts was only six miles. Con—
necticut built none.

Dr. David Kennedy’s “Favorite Remedy” is
being extensively used by'our people are as
follows: It is a combination of vegetable al—
teratives in the form of a syrup. It is pleas-
ant to the taste, adapted to both sexes and all
ages, is effective in affording almost imme—
diate relief in all cases of Kidney troubles,
Liver Complaints,Constipation of the Bowels
and derangements peculiar to women. At the
same time it purifies the blood, thus giving
tone and strength to the system debilitated
by disease or age. This excellent medicine is
