Republicans, Attention!
There will be a meeting at the GAZETTE
Orrion; on Wedililesday evenirzgt, {{qu 13th,
at 8 o’clock for t e purpose 0 a ing s eps
towards the, organization of a GARFIELD
d: ARTHUR CLUB. All persons opposed
to a reinstatement of the democratic party in
power are invited to be present. '
Per Order Town Committee.
The DeGolyer Contract.
We gave week before last a full outline of
the shifty and unreliable basis on which rests
the attempt to sully General Garfield's record
in the Credit Mobilier case. We proceed
now to give what some of our readers per-
haps have never seen, the other basis for
Democratic mud slinging, the DeGolyer
charges, which have basis at all. t
The charges are (1) that Garfield was
chairman of the House Committee on Ap-
propriations; (2) that the firm of DeGolyer
and McClellan had an application pending
before that committee; (3) that, for the pur—
pose of obtaining Garfield’s influence, they
retained him as their counsel; and (4) that
for this nominal service as counsel they paid
him $5,000, in reality as a bribe. Now, of
all these circumstantial and direct charges,
the first one, in which there is no guilt at
all, isthe only one which is true, and the
whole story is one of those wholesale lies,
built upon a retail substructure of truth,
which are difficult to hold and handle. ‘
“A lie which is all a' lie can be met and
fought with outright. But a lie which is half
a truth is another matter to fight.”
DeGolyer had no application pending be-
fore the committee; his application was be—
fore the Board of Public Works of the Dis-
trict of Columbia, and was only to prove the
merits of his patented pavement, the price,
if it was accepted, having been selected
beforehand. His attorney, Mr. Parsons, had
very nearly finished the case, but was called
away from Washington just as the decision
was about being made, and whcnit was most
dangerous to leave the matter unprotected.
In casting about for an attorney as lawyers
always do under such circumstances, he hit
upon Garfield, who accepted the case, finish-
tau am. uyyuuunvu, u—a -~ . ._-..'s.-.l L...
the Board. Parsons and Garfield had made
no agreement about remuneration, but some
time afterward Parsons informed Garfield
that he had received agood fee ($15,000),
and if $5,000 would satisfy him for the
work he had done, he would send him a
check for that amount. Garfield accepted
it and the matter ended.
It follows from the above statement of
facts, (1) that DeGolyer and McClellan
never had any application before the House
Committee; (2) that Garfield had nothing
to do with the firm of DeGolyer and Mo
Clellan, his service having been entirely for
his friend Parsons; and (3), that his service
was as professional and innocent as that of
any othpr lawyer in Congress who pleads be-
fore the courts in matters where their
professional knowledge makes them useful.
If Roscoe Conkling had been nominated for
President the same charges would have been
made against him in connection with his
frequent arguments in the Supreme Court
for'clients against the United States,although
Mr. Conkling is a Senator of the United
States. Mr. Trumbull, who is now running
for Governor of Illlinois, received, as an-\
other example, a fee of $10,000 out of the
public funds, from the hands of Secretary
Stanton, although Mr. Trumbull at the time
wasa United States Senator. It is highly
improbable, however, that the Democratic
press will attack him for this action, because
he happens this time to be running upon the
Democratic ticket. _
No, Messrs. Democrats,it will not do! The
two charges which you bring against the
noblest man we could ofier you as a candi—
date, who cquals your man in capacities and
valor as a soldier and greatly exceeds him as
a statesman, are only sewers which will
not hold the dirty water you carry in them.
You cannot smirch the character of aman
who has slowly and laborously accumulated
money enough to build him a house through
all his long years of public service. _Mnny
of the honest gentlemen of your own politi-
cal organization have felt themselves forced
by their own sense of right to declare the
falsity of these two barefaccd charges; and
if there are any moresuch let them use their
influence, if they have any, to stop stories
which are on their face slanders without
even a pretense at a foundation. Otherwise
every time they,rcpeat the story, behind
their hand, to some brother Democrat, or
quote it without daring to vouch for its truth
toa Republican opponent, they are guilty
knowingly'of bearing false witness against a
man who has long served them and the
whole country faithfully and well.
We cannot be tempted or forced into any
defenssive campaign, and give the above
statement, to the truth of which we pledge
our faith, as our last upon the subject.
Weak-knead Republicans and decent Demo-
crats will need no further explanation. For
the class of Democrats who would believe
George Washington a thief, and Saint Paul a
notorious liar, if nominated for ofllcc by the
Republican party, we care nothing. Let
them roll the sweet—scented and classical
title of “mule-whacker" under their tongues;
in November Garfield will whack all the
Democratic “mules” which that rty can
produce, and in the mean time let the
“mules" bray.
The State Population. .
In spite of so much emigration to the West
from old Connecticut, the State continues to
hold her own, and has even gained consider—
able in population, The returns are not all
in, but it is believed the figures will reach
very close to 600,000 against 537,154 in 1870.

_ Settlement of Damages.
An insurance agent was in town several
days last week, for the purpose of adjusting
the losses occasioned by the late fire. It is
understood; that he finally awarded to Mr.
Spiro the sum of $800 and his entire stock
of damaged goods, which award was accept—

receive nearly the full amount of their claim,

NORWALK.
The Census enumerators for Norwalk
finished their labors on Thursday and Fri-
day last, and, although the result is not as
large as some anticipated, is ncverthclcssa
good showing for the town, when all the
depressing circumstances of the past 10 years
are considered. It is true our increase has
not been near as large as for the previous
10 years, but in that respect we find very
many large and flourishing places, and
places of note—that have made even less
increase than we have. Our total popula—
tion fools up 13,960 an increase of 1,838
over what it was in 1870, or a trifle over 15
per cent. We show a better percentage of
gain than either Hartford or New Haven,
but Waterbury, Mcridcn, Bridgeport, New
Britain, Derby and Danbury exceed us in
the gains made. The full returns of the
State have not yet been had. The returns
of the Norwalk onunrcrators were as fol-
lows:—

Of which the population of the
Borough of Norwalk is 5,309
City of South Norwalk 3,739

Other places reported in the County are as
follows: ,
Wilton, 1,864, aloss of 80.
Strut-ford, 4,200, a gain of 1,000.
Greenwich, 8,000, a gain of 328, this in-
cludes 150 Italians now at work on the
water works.
Easton, 1,145, a decrease of 143.
Trumbull, 1,322, a decrease of 12.
Stamford, 11,568, an increase of about 1,-
830.
Newtown, 4,013, an increase of 830.
Darien, 1,932, an increase of 122.
Redding, 1,538, a decrease of 68.
Ridgefield, 2,025, a gain of 106.
Fairfield returns a population of 3,748, a
decrease of 1,944. Thisdccrease is chiefly
due to the annexation of a part of the town
to Bridgeport.
Bridgeport 29,237, a gain of 7,361 ; Bridg-
lport it will be remembered has taken quite a
slice from the town of Fairfield since the
last census, so that the actual gain is
some considerable less. . .
The Borough Meeting.
The Meeting called for Friday next is one

plished by the Borough buying the ground
on which the burnt building stands, including
the old market, building a good wall on the
new line of docks, and fixing up a nice little
park. It would hardly equal the Battery in
New York, or Durham Terrace in Quebec but
for a place of our present size it could be
made highly credit ible and a decided im-
provement in more ways then one.

An Explosion.
While engaged in mixing chemicals ina
pan, at the match factory,yesterday morning.
an explosion occurred and the proprietor,
Mr. I. M. Rose, was quite seriously injured
—his‘right hand, arm and the side of his
face being badly burned. He _ is under the
care of Dr. Gregory.
On Saturday afternoon last, Mrs. P. W.
Mead drove down Main street, with a
spirited ihorse attached to a handsome two
seatedcarriage. While on Main street the
horse seemed to be somewhat excited, but
was stopped and quited down, when Mrs.
Mead drove on. Near the corner of Wall
street another horse and wagon nearly
collided with Mrs. Mead‘s, (one bystander
thinks it actually struck the horse.) when it
became excited and started off on a furious
run through crowded Wall street. At the
Post Ofilce the carriage struck Mr. Under-
hill’s wagon and threw out Mrs. Mcad’s child.
In front of the Bank of'Norwalk Dr. Nolan's
team was struck and his horse and carriage
both thrown over, and Mrs. Mead was
thrown out but her dress caught in the
carriage and she was dragged some little
distance. The horse finally fell in front of
the residence of Mrs. Lynes, and was secur-
ed, trembling all over in such an intense
manner as to lead many to believe that it
had the “blind staggers.” Mrs. Mead and
the child were taken into Dr. Gregory’s
office, but were found to be not seriously
hurt. Sunday they were both lame and sore
from their bruises. Dr. Nolan’s carriage
was slightly damaged, but his horse was not
seriously hurt. Altogether it was a re-
markable escape from serious loss of life and
damage to property.

Borough Meeting.
The Court of Burgesscs met in response
to the petitions of a large number of our
heaviest tax payers, to consider the subject
of cutting off the fronts of the recently
burned Lockwood and Merrill builldings.
It was finally concluded to leave the ques.
tion to the vote of the Borough, and a
call for a public meeting will be found in
another column.
We understand that the owners of both
pieces of property prefer to sell out entirely
for a fair and equitable price rather than to
suffer the cutting off of their front—even to
the extent of ten feet. It would seem to
be wisest and best that the Borough should
purchase the whole, and after widening the
street satisfactorily, sell the remaining por-
tion or retain it for future public uses.

Our Water Supply.
The recent rains, having been mere local
showers, have helped our Borough water
supply but very little. On Saturday Mr.
Grupc reported the water five feet below the
overflow, and but little flowing in. The co-
pious shower of Sunday may have helped
somewhat, but probably not much. In view
of these facts the Commissioners deem it
wise to continue their request to the people
to refrain from using the water for sprinkling
and to stop all possible waste, until wc.h:ive
more abundant rains.

The Railroad and Draw Bridge
_ Order.
There has been agood deal of irritation
caiised by the recent order of the N. Y. N.
H. A: H. R. R. requiring all draw bridge
tenders to refuse to open their draws wi thin
ten minutes of the time any train is due.
The order is as follows:
“12—No draw shall be opened within ten
minutes of the time a train is due, nor when
a train is within sight or within hearing.”
The Railroad justifies itself in the pub-
lic demand for more rapid trains and
all possible safety to passengers and
say this order has become a necessity
in the safe conduct of their business
and the safe tranSportation of the pco-.
pic, and that the carrying of the U. S.
Mails and great numbers of people, consti-
tute a paramount interest to the marine
rights of sailors. Commodore White's Nor-
walk propellers have been several times very
vexatiously delayed in consequence of the
above order. and he not unreasonably com-
plains of the annoyance, claiming the law
gives him the first right of way. Both par-
ties to this controversy are however, reason.
able men and Capt. Perkins has had an
interview with President Watrous. who
gives assurances that no unnecessary annoy—
ance shall be caused his boats and all damage
caused by any such occasional delays shall
be promptly compensated.

Dr. King travelled with them,~and his son,
who pleased every one with whom he came
in contact,——joined the party to assist in the
management for a brief period previous to
College commencement. The programme
was an excellent one and rendered with much
spirit. For the sake of variety Readings
were introduced, and with good effect, Mr.

nér highly creditable to her elocutionary
powers. If they should ever come this way
again we hope they will meet with better
patronage.
To Farmers.
Look out for your corn, ere it is too late
and see that the Army Worm does not get
the start of you and _eat it all up. On
Saturday iast,_at one of our stores, where
they deal in vegetables, the early sweet corn
brought in from Westport, on husking was
found in several instances to have alarge
worm, (supposed, to be the Army Worm.)
in under the husk, actively at work on the
tender kernels, ploughing through the rows
lengthways. They appear to have bored
through near the bottom of the ear, and in
some cases had gone through a double row
and turned to go back the other way. Per:
haps it would be well for our farmer friends
to examine all of their fields of corn.

Spirit Mysteries.
Prof. Cooke, who has gained great repu»
tation as an exposer of spiritualism and its
tricks, is announced to give two exhibitions
at the Opera House this week, assisted by
Miss Selome Crawford, clairvoyant and
matcriallzing~ medium. Their recent per-
formances at the Standard Theatre, New
York city, attracted much attention. Prof.
Cooke is said to be fully equal, if not super-
ior to Prof. Baldwin, who gave several exhi;
bitions hiare some time since and whose per—
formances were intensely interesting. Seem-
ing impossibilities are very quickly and
cleverly performed, and explained. Start-
ling scens of so-callcd spiritualism are per-
formed, mystifying the senses, and then one
is amused with the wonderful simplicity of
the explanation. The entertainment is
worthy of patronage, and all who attend
will certainly be amused if not instructed
and benefittcd.
GUlDE Docks—The numbers of those who

The Parallel Railroad Again;
The Bridgeport Standard is responsible for
the following :—
“Thc maps sh ing the whole line of the
Parallel railroad ave been completed and
sent to the Company’s office at New Haven.
There are three of them and they are very
handsomely executed. A gentleman con-
versant with the inner details of the enter--
prise says it is a bona fide project undertaken
in good faith and not with any design to “sell
out” to the Consolidated road, and also con—
fidently avers that it is an enterprise having
a solid and abundant financial backing. The
construction of the line willprobably becom-
menced about the first of August. The com-
pany has three months from the time of ac—
tually commencing operations in which to
file town maps in the clerk’s office of the
various towns which the road intersects.”

Connecticut Bible Society.
At _the monthly meeting of thc nuance
committee of this institution held in Hartford
yesterday, it appears, from a careful survey
of the affairs of the society, that it is accom—
plishing more and better work than ever be-
fore. Five towns have been finished since
the anniversary in May, viz :—Monroe, Wil-
ton. West Hartford, Suflield, and Sterling.
The society has more, and, as the committee
think, better workers than ever before, at
one time.
Mr. John Petit is laboring in Meridcn; Mr.
Eli Kimberly in Salisbury; Mr. C. E. Her-
bert in Cheshire; Mr. George W. Savory in
Hartland; Mr. J. B. Devins in Griswold; Mr.
J. F. Robinson in Brooklyn; Mr. C. Mack
who has just finished Sufiield, is about to
canvass Marlboro, and Mr. J. H. Kopf is ex-
pected soon to undertake the work in
Thompson.
Some of the towns recently visited are
preeminently missionary fields, and the work
in them, as well as in the larger places. has
been a great blessing' In one town, nearly
half of the Protestant families represented
themselves as not attending any place of
worship. A large number of Bibles were
sold and donated, but not a dollor was con-
tributed to the society. In such towns the
avails of books sold go to pay for the work
done.
The society is using a great many Bibles,
and needs money to pay for them. As the
treasury was largely depleted last year, the
committee appeal to all who desire the con—
tinuance of its beneficent work to send
prompt and liberal aid to the treasury. There
are fifty towns which should be visited at
once if the work could be properly introduced
and sustained. The society intends to reach
them all as soon as practicable.
The annual report and the anniversary ser-
mon of the Rev. Dr. L. T. Chamberlain on
the ‘-‘Semi-Millennium of the English Bible,”
are now ready, and will be forwarded forth
with to the pastors of the churches.

In 1865, after the war, Gen. Hancock be—
came President of a Petroleum Company,
and many officers and soldiers, through con—
fidence in his name,were induced to purchase
stock. It turned out to be a bogus concern—
one of the wildest of “wild cats,”—and the
investors lost every dollar. Probably Gen.
Hancock was imposed upon—no one believes
that he would willingly cheat his brother
officers or the public,——but he ought to have
investigated the matter before allowing the
use of his name. Certainly a man who can
be so easily duped ought not to be made
President of the United States.

Says George William Curtis in Harper's
Weekly: “General Hancock represents no
policy, no principle, no issues, nothing but
the party which has nominated him, and he
will be supported by those only who think
that the While welfare would be promoted
by bringing the democratic party into power.
Horace Greeley, commenting on Hancock’s
career in New Orleans, said in the Tribune:
“No commander in' the southern states has in-
terfered with civil authority more than General
Hancock.” The democracy must certainly
admit the honesty and competency of judg—
ment of their former candidate.
Letters From the People.
NORWALK, July 12th, 1880.
Eni'rons GAZETTE:
Will you allow me through the columns
of your paper, to call the attention of the
Sons of Temperance and their friends to the
State Temperance Picnic, to be lioldeu under
their auspices, at High Rock Grove, on
Thursday July 22d; if that day proves
stormy then on the 23d. High Rock Grove
is situated on the Naugatuck Railroad, a
few miles this side of Naugatuck, and is
said to be by far the finest place in the State
for picnic purposes. The committee of
arrangement have done all in their power to
make satisfactory arrangements with the
Railroads; fare from South Nortvaik to
High Rock and return $1 25, and no change
of cars. It was voted by the Grand Division
at its semi-annual session to hold this picnic,
and a committee of five was appointed to
make the arrangements for the same. _Bro.
George R. Bill, chariman of the committee,
urges that every Division in the State be as
largely represented as possible. All friends
of the order' are cordially invited to join
with us. It is expected by the committee
that there will be speaking, music and the
reading of a poem written for the occasion.
Let us have a large gathering from this part
of the State. Due notice will be given in
next week’s GAZETEE, of the time of leaving
South Norwalk. All persons wishing to go
or desiring further information will please
leave their name with Mrs. Wm. A. Kellogg,
Committee; R. L. Ells, at the GAZETTE
office, or D. P. Morrcll, East Norwalk.
S. or T.
FOE THE GAZETTE:
Having been rather a dissatisfied Repub-
lican during the second administration of
General Grant, and feelintr‘that many lead—
ing republicans failed‘ to cooperate with
President Hayes in his wise, honest concila—
tion policy, to whicu the party were com-
mitted, I had hoped for a new national
party that would bury old dead issues, but
the two leading conventions have put in the
field two War Generals for our sufiruges.
During the war of the rebellion, an under
rent below the cataract of Niagara, ran
beneath the two surging armies and the roar
of cannon, throughout the length and breadth
of the Demoratic party, for their political
brethren in arms against the Union. Their
constant solicitude since the war, has been
that no undue power be given to those who
were instrumental in conquering their
friends.
Now they have nominated for the highest
office in the gift of the people, one whose
only qualification is that he was brave and
efficient in helping to conquer those whom
they did not really wish to see conquered.
I speak of course of the party and not of the
exceptions.
The nomination of Hancock is like a
splendid burst on the prow on the prow of a
newly painted old craft, with a mutinous
crew. The nominee of the Republicans is a
General whose bravery and victories, cheered
the hearts of his party during the rebellion,
and who is just one of. those men, who in
war or pcacc exemplifies our best ordeal of
the possibilities of a poor American Boy.
He is a man of progress and belongs to the
party of progress. The Democratic party
has not progressed in the right direction,
would that thgy stood in the tracks of
Jefferson. But they prefer the doctrine
announced by Marcy “To the victors be—
long the spoils,” which has helped to spoil
the party, and has done the Republicans no
good. But to the party of ideas and pro-
gress, and to the cultered, sterling man who
is proposed to be promoted from helmsman
of a canal boat to be helmsman of the nation,
1 slflll cast my vote. Bannacmuon.
EDITORS GAZETTEE: .
In view of the facts that have come to
light since the first published statements
were made in the Knapp case, it is due to
Lawyer Wilson to say that every one thoro—
ughly conversant with the facts uuw admin)
that the signatures of Knapp were genuine.
Knapp also denies in the most solemn man-
ner that Wilson treated him unfairly in the
business he did for him. He says Wilson
gave him his discharge papers when he
asked for it, and not only never denied col-
lecting his money, but did collect it at his
request, and settled with him to his (Knapp’s)
satisfaction. * * *
We very cheerfully give publicity to the
above, inasmuch as it appears from evidence
now presented that inj usticc was unintention-
ally donc Mr. Wilson in our previous publish-
ed statements in the case.

General Thomas Ewing bears reluctant
testimony to the bad policy of the Demo-
cratic mud throwing at General Garfield.
He admits that the assaults will have little
effect in Ohio, because “our people are in-
clined to be both proud of the abilities andu
jealous of the good name of our statesmen,
and he will suffer, less from such assaults
there than elsewhere.” It will be hard work
for Ewing or anybody else to convince the
country that Ohio would be proud of Gar-
field if she were not convinced of his inno-
cenccand honor.

One of Brigham Young’s daughters, who
was lately expelled from the church for sue—
ing some of the rascally brethren who at -
tempted to rob her, when cntrcated to return
to the fold recently, replied: “My father,
prophet though you call him, broke many a
woman’s heart. If it required of me to
break as many hearts, and ruin as many
women as my father did, I should go to per-
dition before I would go back into the
church. A religion which breaks women’s
hearts and ruins them is of the devil. That’s
what Mormonism does. Don’t talk to me of
my father!”

IA lragrant Breath and Pearly Teeth
Are easily obtained by cleansing your teeth
daily with that justly popular dentifrice, SO-
ZODONT. Composed of rare antispetic herbs,
it imparts whiteness to the teeth, a delicious
aroma to the breath, and preserves intact,
from youth to old age, the teeth. Acidity of
the stomach will‘destroy the strongest teeth
unless its effects are counteracted with SOZO-
DONT, and this .pure tooth-wash protects
the dental surfaces by removing every impu-
