General Garfield’s Letter.
It is now and then mentioned as a little
odd that the successive steps of the Republi-
can campaign, the nomination of the .candi-
dates, their notification and their acceptances,
should this year have preceded the corre-
sponding steps on the Democrat side. There
is nothing odd in that. It has been the regu-
lar thing for years. For twenty years the
Democratic party has been swimming along
like a hungry shark in the wake of the ship
of state, constantly on the lookout for the
scraps of offal and dead bodies which fall to
its share. Occasionally Trumbulls, Ben But—
lers, or other political corpses from the ships
crew have come over the rail and kept the
ravenous fish’s fins wagging and the life in
its body, and while there is .a chance‘ for a
continuance of the same diet, however
meagre, why should it go in front of the
ship? Corpses don't go in that direction, and
where the corpses go there goes the Demo—
cratic party. And so for years Democratic
conventions, nominations and platforms are
timidly put off for at least a week after it
has been learned what the Republicans would
think, or do, or say on the questions which
interest the nation. Our own party, proud
of its past, its present and its future, and full
_ of the courage which springs from a pride in
its convictions, hasjncver hesitated to express
them early, boldly, and openly. And there—
fore, whatever blunders it may have made,
the nation has always considered it infinitely
‘more honest and trustworthy in its mistakes
than its opponents has been in taking advan-
tage of them. Always first in the field, the
Republican party has never lost a vote
by its-promptnes‘s, nor will it now.
General Garfield has given us a letter
which any man of plain common sense can
understand and approve. Any newspaper
explanations of a letter so full, frank and
easily comprehended would be an importi-
nence. It speaks for itself. There are one
or.two points in it, however, which call for
special approval and congratulation. Its call
for measures to‘legec the Mississippi, and to
and statesmanlike perceptions of true national
interests which put to blushthe dodges of mere
politicians. The useful possession of the
Mississippi is one of the essentials of our
national life. Every man from the. great
Northwest who shouldered his rifle for the
march to the Gulf and the sea did so for the
purpose of keeping the head waters and the
mouth of the Mississippi under one national
government. Everything which zmakes the
navigation of the Mississippi mdre safe and
easy gives the Northwest a surer outlet for
its produCtions by way of the Gulf of Mex-
ico, and General Garfield's letter only voices
the feelings of thc’section in which he lives.
But beyond this there is another ultimate
effect of the letter. Louisiana, Mississippi,
Arkansas and Tennessee arc and ought to be
Republican states, even without taking ac—'
count of the colored vote. Their interests
and their needsfim this and on most other
questions, are identified with those of the
great Northwest to which the Mississippi
unites them. Let the National Committee
send judicious and reasonable—minded men
to preach Republicanism in these states,
taking this suggestion of Garfield's letter as
a text, and there is the very straightest road
toward breaking the Solid South, and throw-
Dcmocratic political calculations into utter
confusion.
,, The remarks upon Chinese immigration
into Calalifornia are such as will commend
themselves to every reasonable man on the
Pacific slope, whatever his politics may
be. Garfield's way to settle the business is
not to disregard and set at naught a solemn
treaty, but to have that treaty amended fair—
ly and satisfactorily, and in the mean time to
give Chinese in America no more privileges
under the treaty than the Americans have in
China, of which permanent settlement in any
part of the country is not one. »
The whole letter is worthy of careful read-
ing by every Republican and every Democrat.
The Democratic candidate for President, in
particular, cannot do better in the absence
of public avowal of his opinions, than to
study carefully the wise and statesmanlike
letter of his opponent, whose opinions since
his boyhood are a part, and an important
part, of the political knowledge of the na-
tion.
Now and Then.
What would the doubtful voter have
thought and what would have been his‘re-
ply had he been solicited to vote the demo-
cratic ticket during or at the close of the
0 war? And yet it is the same democratic
party that now coquettes for this class of
voters that aided and abetted the “solid
south" then. There has been no change in
it for the better. Make a note of it, that all
the better elements of the country and every
policy of finance, or tariff, or measure for
business improvement and prosperity, is and
steadily has been opposed by this same
unpatriotic, unprincipled, democratic party.
It has been hot weather in New York,
lately. The effect upon some of the city
editors has been to make them drop the
graudlloquent sfyle and come right dow to
short and terse “Horace Greeley En .”
For'instance: C. A. Dana, of the Sun, says
the story that on the Seawanhaka Miss Ida
Ward asked him for help and he replied,
“every one for himself," is a lie. The Truth,
which is probably no more rc-lie-ablc than
the Sun, calls Dana a “liar and a coward,”
and threatens s‘till harder language. Next
we shall bear, Tmlh will be prostrated by a
‘ Sun stroke. .
On Friday eveningvlast, the First Baptist
church voted to license Mr. H. H. Barbour
to preach the Gospel.’ It is understood to
be Mr. Barbour's intention to give up the
practice of law at no distant day, and to
enterthe ministry. He preached in Bridge-
port, in the First Baptist church, last Sun-
day, and has had invitations to preach in
Hartford and other cities.

are all in and show a net gain of 3,304 over
the previous census. This is a larger per

between 1840 and 1850. That increase came
as a result of the building of the Housatonie

gain comes after the second year of ralroad

Our Manufacturer-cs.
J .B. Ells has received his certificate of
l appointment as special census agent to col-
lcct the statistics of manufacturers in this
town. The appointment is accompanied by
a letter of instructions which defines the
agents' inquiries to be for the object of ob-
taining a list, by personal visit, of all estabs
lishmcnts of productive industry which is
defined to mean, all mills, shops, factories
which yield an annual product of over $500.
The manufacturers of iron, wool and silk are
excepted from the inquiries of town agents.
Carpenter’s shops, blacksmilh’s shops,
cooper’s shops, painter’s and glazler’s shops
doing business of over $500 a yearvarc to
be returned equally with the large mills or
factories. Certain classes of shops, how-
ever, where the work done is mainly of the
character of personal service, are not to be
returned. Such are milliucry. dress mak-
ing and tailoring establishments doing
mainly custom work. To do away with
the objections which manufacturers might
feel to giving information about their busi-
ness, the certificate of appointment provides
that “all information to the special agent
will be held by him strictly confidential. He
is sworn not to disclose any portion thereof
to any person except to his superior ofliccr.
The facts thus obtained will be used wholly
in compilation to ascertain the general facts
and condition of manufacturing indhstry,and
will not be put to any use which can possi—
bly prejudice the interests of any individual
or corporation.” The special agent has all
the authority of an cnumcrator, and is fully
empowered to exact all the information
required by the census.

. Summer Rest.
The past weekflhas been full of glorious,
golden and invigorating hours, down at
Norwalk Islands. The sunrises and sunsets
have been indiscribably superb. The glow-
ing sunshine and silvery moonbeams, that
played and sparkled on the rippling waters,
coupled with the cool, bracing breezes that
fanned the tired brows of a family party of
restseekers, gave acharmvof strength-giving
cnchantment, long to be remembered. As
the Golden’Rule aptly and tersely expresses
it, no man “with a capacity to feel and think
can visit the mountains or the sea—side, look
upon the grandeur of nature, listen to the
many—toned voice of the ocean, and not feel
an inspiration to a higher- and better life."
In Memoriam.
Saturday last being'thc first anniversary of
the death of the Rev. Dr. W. C. Mead, me-
morial services were held at St. Paul’s
church, at 5 o’clock, p. to. Right Rev.
Bishop Quintard, of Tennessee, made an ap-
propriate address, and the Rector, Rev. Mr.
Selleck, made a few remarks. A beautiful
Lectern, or desk, ccsting some $250 was pre-
sented by the ladies of the Parish. Near
the close of the services, the audience was
surprisedby the presentation to the Society,
of an excellent portrait of the deceased
Rector, painted in oil by Miss Esther Smith,
of Hartford, and presented by Miss Jane M.
Mead. The portrait is pronounced a most
faithful likeness.

seemed to exist and after/passing a vote to
refer the matter back to the Board of Bur-V

matter will now be permitted to drop and
the opportunity for a great village improve-
ment lost to this generation.

aged spouse whom. he ever cherlshed most
tenderly.
His Religion.-
Thc Rev. Irving A. Scarlcs offlChicago,fla
pastor of the denomination knownas “Chris-
tians" or “Disciples,” and sometimes as
“Campbellites,” the sect to which General
Garfield belongs, sends to the Tribune of
that city the following summary of the creed
and practice of his church: ‘
1. We call ourselves Christians, or Disci—
ples. The term “Campbellite” is a nickname
that others have applied to us, as the early
Methodists were called “Renters." 2. We
believe in God the Father. 8. We believe
that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living
God, and our only Saviour. We regard'the
Divinity Christ as the fundamental truth in
the Christian system. 4. We believe in the
Holy Spirit, both as to its agency in conver—
sion and as an indweller in the heart of every
Christian. 5. We accept the Old and New
Testament Scriptures as the inspired word of
God. 6. We believe in the future punish-
ment of the wicked and the future reward
of the righteous. 7. We believe that the
Deity is a prayer—hearing and prayer—ans—
wering God. 8. We observe the institution
of the Lord’s Supper on every Lord's Day.
To this table it is our practice neither to
invite nor debar. We say it is the Lord’s
Supper for all the Lord's children. 9. We
plead for the union of all God’s people on
the Bible and Bible alone. 10. The
Bible is our only creed. 11. We maintain
that all the ordinances of the Gospel should
be observed as they were in the days of the
Apostles.
The Christian Church has about half a
million communicants in the United States.
Gen. Garfield united with this church
when but eighteen years of age and has
always maintained an unassuming, modest,
Christian life. He was never “ordained" as a
minister, yet his gift of extcmpore speaking
was so remarkable, and his sincerity and
earnestness so attractive, that greater audi-
ences were drawn together by his impromptu
discourses than by the regularly ordained
ministers of his denomination, just as
was the case whenever the late Senator
Ferry was induced to occupy the platform
and address the congregations which always
crowded to listen to his eloquent and feeling
appeals for the higher and better life. Gar-
field’s desolate and unpropitious childhood,
inspired only by the love and devotion of a
toiling mother, is so full of hope and en-
coui'agement to every poor boy in the land
that it cannot be too often or too'closely
studied. Without advantages of birth or
friendly aid, hp was ‘left alone to battle all
the difficulties of childhood life, but he grew
strong and robustin soul and :11in and body,
by the very struggles he was forced to make
for existence, until today we see how
grandly the strength thus acquired has lifted
him, in the hearts of his loyal countrymen
to the first position in the nation. It is-an
old and true saying, that “oftentimes our
best men are most vilified," and that political
malignity never seeks the justice but the
occasion of assault, and the “occasion" hav-
ing arisen, it is not surprising that partizan
heat and intemperance should seek to elevate
another by traducing him.
It has been the writer's pleasure to have
known Gen. Garfield ever since he entered
Congress, and a more open, honest, candid
and straight-forward man was ever called
to serve his country in field or forum. We
can assure the voters of Connecticut, that
just as soon would our sainted Governor
Buckingham have touched a dishonest dol—
lar as would JAMES A. GARFIELD. As was
well and truly said of another just as falsely
accused of participation in Credit Mobilier
speculation, “slander can find little to fasten
its fangs upon in one whose chief use for
money was to do good to others, and whose
only use of power was for the public good.”
No poor laborer in shop or quarry; no toiler
in mines but can find hope and inspiration in
the life and character of such a man. " No
poor; fatherless boy, struggling for life and
recognition in this sclfish,grasping world but
will be encouraged to more earnest and hon-
cst endeavors by the example Gsnrmn has
set. No parent, however pinched by pover—
ty, but will “thank God and take courage”

Camp Meeting.
FOR THE saw your: mar DISTRICT ‘ -
The old ground at Redding,Conn., has
been improved and b‘eautified at a cost of,
$8.000: named “Brookside Par ," and de—
signed as .a permanent place for an annual
camp meeting of the primitive Methodist
type, with no lot selling or other money
making scheme attached. A handsome, large
pavilion, floored andl‘roofed, open on every
side and comfortably seated, has been built,
so that the cqngregation can worship without
annoyance from rain or sunshine. A neat
house has been erected with four rooms and
cots to accommodate fifty sleepers.
Excellent wrter has been brought to the
place -from neighboring hill. Among the
attractions are a fountain, lake, forest and
beautiful landscape. The grove is within
five minutes walk of the Bedding station of
the Danbury and Norwalk railroad,st miles
south of Danbury and seventeen miles north
of Norwalk.
The meeting of this year will be held (D.
V.) from Monday, August 9, to Saturday,
August 14.
Good board, will be provided by C. B. D’
Artois, Esq., of South Nor’walk, at $4 for
'the meeting, and $1 per day. Ample lunch
accommodations will be provided, without
intoxicating liquors or tobacco.
Persons or churches having tents can pitch
them free of charge. We have a few tents
to let. S. B. Squires, Esq., of 358 Fairfield
Avenue, Bridgeport, Conn., will be on the
ground Saturday, August 7th, and during
the meeting to superintend the erection of
tents, and other matters. Lodgings at fifty
cents per‘nlght, or $1.50 for the five nights,
can be pro-engaged of‘him (the money to
pay for the cots, &c.) The Connecticut roads
will convey passengers at half fare. The
Danbury and Norwalk and New York and
New Haven roads will carry preachers free.
Preachers will find- it. not to cost them
much to attend this meeting, and they are
invited from all districts-"It is held solely
for the religious benefit of the people, and
we shall endeavor to make a profitable
meeting. The railroads connecting with the
Danbury and Norwalk are .thc New York &
New Haven. Housatonic and Shepaug.
People residing on these roads can easily and
cheaply reach the place. The dbove described
improvements, except beds to furnish the
lodging house, are paid for, and accordingly
there will be no begging of the congregations
to pay heovy debts. .
The large expense of fitting up the beauti-
ful grounds at Redding,the free use of which
is offered us for a’district camp meeting
August 9—14,has been incurred by the en—
terprising Danbury and Norwalk Railroad
00., under the direction of its gentlemanly
superintendent, L. W. Sandiforth, Esq. Said
grounds are offered free at all times, except
August 9—14, for Sunday school and other
picnics, temperance meetings, etc. I make
this statement lest it might be inferred from
the circular that the camp meeting managers
had made this outlay of money, an act which
we cannot lay claim to. ‘
Will not our people from all parts of the
New York East District make this, their
annual camp meeting, a districtinstitution,
attend it in large numbers and thus become
acquainted with each other, and receive
great spiritual good to themselves and their
churches?
If you would have a rich blessing, come at
the beginning and remain to the close. Come
also to work for Jesus and win souls.

Obituary.
s'rnrnax n. ALDEN,
Of Westport, died at the residence of Mrs.
Dr. Blackman of that place, on Friday even-
'ing of week before last, after a severe illness
of several months. The funeral took place
on Sunday evening, July 11, atfi p. m. from
“Ccmpo” house, and the remains were re-
Y., in charge of his sons Charles and San-
ford, for interment in the family burial
ground at that place. Mr. Alden was 58
years of .age, and up‘ to within a few months
of his death had continued to exhibit that
wonderful and restless energy of character
which characterized his entire career. He
had a remarkable aptitude for financial
affairs, and engaged at' different times in
operations of the greatest magnitude and
consequence. He was President of the Al~
bany Exchange Bank for nearly fourteen
years, and when first called to preside over
that institution was the youngest bank presi-
dent in the State of New York. During the
war he was appointed United States Fiscal
Agent for the Northern District with his
headquarters at Albany. His transactions
for the government during this period were
enormous, reaching as high as fifty millions
a year, not one .penny of discrepancy was
ever discovered in his accounts. He receiv—
ed at this time an immense silver service as a
compliment voted him by the government
for the faithful discharge of his onerous
duties. At this time be fitted and equipped
at his own expense a regiment for service
in the war. His charities at this and later
periods were boundless, and ran into thou-
sands of dollars yearly. Later in life he re—
tired a millionaire, but still later, being again
drawn into Wall street speculation, he be—
came a heavy loser and involved in litiga-
tions which no doubt, in the intensity of
their worriment and annoyance helped to
hasten his illness and death. "‘ "' *
Samuel W. Bradley,former.y of this town,
died at Helena, Montana, on the first day of
J uly,of consumption. He was 28 years of'age.

WILTON.
The Misses Annie and Mamie Emery,
daughters of Dr. Emery, formerly of Wilton,
are in town as the guests of Miss W. B.
Marvin. ' _
The Congregational Sunday School will
probably pic—pic at Brookside Park sometime
during the present month. '
In the last Gazer-rs; the population of
Wilton is stated as being 1804. The census
report for 1870 states that Wilton had at that
time 1994 inhabitants, so that our town has
decreased in its population 130.
The “Summitonians,” alias Bald Hillites,
enjoyed a moonlight sociable on Wednesday
evening and expect to repeat the same to—
morrow evening. '
Mr. A. W. Merwin has been improving
his mill property by painting the same, and
we understand he expects soon to introduce
a new water wheel and improved machinery.
The conscociation met on Tuesday at the
Congregatiodal church. and broke the last
link which bound the Rev. Mr. Merwiu to
his people. We presume, that Mr. Merwin
will continue to reside in Wilton as he has
here every convenience for so doing,and Wil-
ton could ill afford to lose a gentleman
who has such a combination of those quali-
ties which go to make a desirable citizen.
Whatever may have been the causes which
led to this dissolution of a twelve years'
pastorate, there still remains the fact that
Mr. Merwin was a fine scholar, an able ser-
monizer, and his private. record without
stain. »
Our public schools are beginning to close
their summer terms, which afford the pupils,
thereof an opportunity to recuperate their
overworked systems by weeding onions.
The Mission Band met at the house of
Mrs. A. W. Merwin, on Friday evening
laat, and were hospitably entertained. '
On the evening-of the sixth Mr. Matt
Marvin favored his friends and neighbors
with a generous pyrotechnic display.-
Cannon Station has furnished two acci—
dents from scythes. W. H. Scribner while
mowing stepped into a woodchuck’s burrow
and fell on his scythe cutting his knee in
'such a way that Dr. Gorham fears a perma -
nent disablement. Mr. Samuel Marvin
entered his barn one morning last week and
accidentally ran his head againstascythe
cutting an artery which bled profusely.
Mr. J. M. Haines who recently moved to
North Salem, N. Y., is now engaged in
harvesting on his Wilton farm. We regret
to say that Mr. H. has decided to locate.
permanently at North Salem, for by so
doing he has deprived Wilton‘of an energetic
and honorable citizen. Mr. Haines, it will
be remembered, was at one time one of our
sclectmen and his official career was satisfac-
tory to all . WILL ToNx.
