Norwalk Gazette:
Tuesday,November 16, 1880. .
The Forged Letter.
Judge Davis, on Saturday, gave his deci-
sion fully confirming the almost universal
conviction and Gen. Garfield’s own statement
that the Chinese letter, so called, is a stupid
forgery. The Judge “sets down” with
especial severity upon the Hon. A. S.
Hewitt, who it will be remembered barely
escaped a scorching from the cipher dispatch
scandal four years ago. The J udge’s opinion
will prove interesting reading to those “re-
spectable” Democrats hereabouts, who were
so earnestly active in the endorsement and
circulation of the vile forgery. .Mr. Hewitt
howls like'a baby under Judge Davis’ lash
and protests his innocence, yet the National
Democratic Committee, of which he is an
active lllt'mbtl‘, sent three thousand copies to
the Norwalk Democrat to distribute the
Staurday before election and long after Gen.
Garfield had proved it a forgery and while
the forger was in prison. The same commit-
tee, it is said, sent a fac simile plate of the
letter to a prominent Democrat of South
Norwalk, who is reported to have employed
our friends of the Sentinel to print copies
therefrom all day Sunday previous to elec-
tion, and which copies were very appropri--
ately circulated by night about thetown.
The Tribune very justly says the logic of
Judge Davis’s decision in the Philp case
implies that every member of the National
Democratic Committee who is known to
have been engaged in publishing and circu-
lating the forged letter can be prosecuted foi-
malicious libel. That Committee purchased
and scattered broadcast over the country
hundreds of thousands of copies of the so-
called fac—simile, and sent duplicate plates to
the Democratic newspaper ofiices, wherewith
hundreds of thousands of additional copies
were made and distributed at second hand.
Not only those who heaped up the dunghill.
but those who have besmeared their fingers
with this Chinese smudge are liable to prose-
cution.
Borough Election.
The Registrars will probably post a copy
of the Registry List for the Borough Elec-
tion. in the Post Office, some day this week,
for public inspection. This list will be sub-
ject to correction in the manner provtded by
law. Voters should see that their own names
are properly entered, for on election day the
Inspectors will have no power whether to
make additions or alterations—all corrections
must be made by the Registrars the week
previous. Voters living near the Borough
line should be sure to examine the list, as
their names are more liable to be left off
than others. Last year several persons lost
their votes by not examining the list, and
putting in their claim for correction. If any
voter finds his name left off, or the name of
another person on the list who is not entitled
to vote, he should report the fact to the
Borough clerk at once.

Treason! Treasonll
Saturday’s Democrat dolefully says its
party was beaten by “the most bass treachery
of thewcal democratic managersl’ “In this
town professed Democrats taking Republican
money and basely selling out- In the ad-
joining town of Westport the old chairman
of the town committee took $350 of Crosby’s
money. This fact was known to the district
committee who, notwithstanding, placed in
the same man's hands the funds to be used
in sustaining the democratic ticket in that
town.” What a mercenary set of rascals
democrats must be, to be sure.

Beautiful Frescoing,
Mr. Borgeldt, the same artist who many
years since, justly won sormuch admiration
for his neat frescoes of the store ceilings in
the Gamma BUILDING and the halls in the
upper story has just completed a much more
artistil and elaborate work at St. Mary’s
church. The general shadings and pannel-
ings of the side walls are very finely done,
but the medalion heads of, the Apostles
wrought upon either side the central ceil—
iugs, the fourteen Scriptural scenes and the
figures back of the altar representing the
birth, crucifixion and resurrection of the
Saviour, are really gems of art. The per—
spectives, coloring and dimensions of these
various figures are so realistic and true to no-
tice that the blended harmony fills the cul-
lured eye with a fully gratified delight. St.
Mary’s as now decorated, is by far the finest
specimen of church architecture and decora-
tion in this end of the State; and it is to be
hoped that an atmosphere of so much artistic
‘beauty, may exert a helpful influence in aid
of the pastor’s efiorts to inspire his wor-
shipers with the desire to lead holler and
better lives.
#.
, The groundlessness of the agitation about
Chinese labor is suggested by the fact that
the City of Pekin, .which sailed from San
Francisco the other day. had on board eight
hundred and fifty Chinamen all homeward
bound. Some of them were returning with a
competence,but the majority were disappoin-
ed emigrants who had found out that they
were better off in their native land.

Was it Rabies ?
Will some one] who never gets excited
dver elections (or anything else) please in-
form as by what mental disease it was that
our Democratic friends were afflicted during
the recent canvass. Certainly no such in—
tense bitterness,such utter recklessness of as-
sertion and assault and downright lying, has
been indulged in by our opponents in their
conduct of any political campaign within the
memory of the oldest inhabitant. Beginning
with the vilest slanders upon one whom Mr.
Beecher says. “No man dying in Ohio but
would rejoice to leave the settlement of his
estate and the care of his orphans to,”—a
v—a brutal stream of slander has been poured
out on nearly every nominee on the
Republican ticket. Nor is this all. The or-
dinary social friendships usually existing be—
tween individual Republicans and Demo-
crats have been want-only broken by excited
criminat'ons and the wildest and most reck-
less and irritating asseverations.
That. the hallucination was real and not as-
sumed is proved by their most childish,
reckless and urgent offers to bet and wager
their money on conditions deemed to the
sane mind as absolute certainties. For in—
stance, we saw a bet eagerly urged Saturday
and finally accepted that Norwalk would
give a majority for Hancock, when every
sane man was sure that it could not be under
250 for Garfield, and actually was 315.
How are such vagaries to be accounted for?
How can it be explained that men of educa-
tion, of general intelligence, of high personal
standing in the community; men who would
resent an imputation of dishonor with ablow
were found aiding, abetting, yes, even join—
ing in circulating and personally endorsing
the genuineness of one of the dirtiest, and
meanest, and thinest pieces of partizan ras—
cality a political party was ever guilty of pro-
moting—the forged Chinese letter. ‘These be
hard things to reasonably account for on any
hypothesis of a sane and honest head and
heart. Was not t‘nis marked idiosyncracy a
prophetic verification of the trite proverb,
that, “Whom the Gods wish to destroy they
first make mad.”
This spirit of bitter and reckless assault
was visited to a surprising degree here in
Norwalk, upon their own candidate for sher-
iff and as a consequence Mr. Crosby ran
largely ahead of his party vote here. To a
less degree the same malign temper assaulted
Mr. Peet, their candidate for Congress, and
the honor ran sixty odd votes above our high-
est electoral majority, Then on Senator the
tide of abuse turned and was made to sweep
over fie fair fame and spotless name of Oli—
ver Hoyt, a man of whom it may be said,
without cant, “His praise is in all the
churches," and who is knowu to be heartily
in sympathy with every generous, noble and
good word and work. He was accused of a
breach of about everything in the decalogue.
Bills and circulars were printed charging
him with being a tool of the Consolidated
railroad; of having opposed measures for
fare and commutation reductions; of having
engineered the color blindness law in the
Senate; of being bitterly hostile to the Par-.
allel railroad because a stockholder in the
Consolidated. In fine of being the most ex-
treme and bigoted of temperence zealots on
the. one band, and a wine bibber on the
other, where either charge could be made to
deter a‘vote for him. And then that there
were largeand direct offers of money made
for votes for Mr. Hoyt's opponent, here,
there can be no manner of doubt. In the
towns of Wilton and New Canaan these of—
fers were extended to votes for members of
the House, as well as on Senator. At New
Canaan $40 was known to be offered for two
votes against S. Y. St. John, who, despite
such political weapons pulled through by a
small majority. At Wilton, we are assured
that $10, $20, $25, and just before the clos-
ing of the polls, $35 was proffered for votes
for the Democratic nominee for Representa-
tive. Herein Norwalk it is a matter of open
Democratic confession that bet-ween sixty and
seventy of their own men were hired at from
$3 to $10 each to peddk tickets, ostensibly, but
in fact to ensure their noting their own Dem-
ocratic ticket straight.
Is is a wonder there is such a bad odor
about the last canvass that decent Demo-
crats, who have the instincts of gentlemen,
are known to cry out, “From another such
a disgraceful gorge, ‘Good Lord deliver us.’ ”
There is a unanimous demand in Connec-
ticut that Joseph R. Hawley shall represent
that State in the United States Senate. No
Republican will contest his seat with him,
and even the democratic members of the
Legislature are thinking of voting for him.
1Hsekhas fairly earned the honor.—Tribune,
i .
Two years ago Gen. Hawley would un—
questionably have received this. nomination
had he not already been elected to the House,
and the prevalence of a feeling that his
transfer to the Senate might jeopardise his
Congressional District. He is not a member
elect of thenext Congress, and the indica—
cations now very clearly are that the cor
popuh' will decide that “gallant Joe Hawley"
shall be Eaton’s successor.

The Council called to examine Mr. H. H.
Barbour, with a view to his ordination to the
Ministry, met at the First Baptist church
last Tuesday at 11 o‘clock. Rev. E. D.
Bentley called the Council to order, and Rev.
J. M. Taylor,’offered prayer. Rev. A. C.
Hubbard was chosen Moderator, and Rev.
E. M.» Ogden, Clerk, ; the call of the Council
was read by the church clerk. On account
of the continued illess of Mr. Barbour, it was
thought to be imprudent for him to go out,
and the Council adjourned to meet at his
residence at 1.30 p. m. During the inter-
mission the delegates and friends partook of
dinner, prepared in the Vestry by the ladies
of the church. At 1.30 the Council again
met, and Mr. B. made statements as to his
christian experience, c'all to the Ministry,
and views of doctrine. These were so full
and complete that but few questions were
necessary to satisfy the Council,'and they
unanimously voted to ordain him to the
Gospel Ministry. Mr. Barbour is now in
Danbury recruiting his health, and is rapidly
recovering. He will probably be ordained
next Tuesday evening, Nov. 23d. Rev. Dr.-
Lathrop of Stamford, will preach the ordi-
nation sermon.

Responsibility of the Forged Chi-
nese Letter—Judge Davis’ De-
cislon.
The first stage of the legal proceedings in
Kenward Philp‘s case has ended with Judge
Davis' decision that the prisoner must be
held on the criminal charge of libel to await
the indictment by the grand jury. The pub-
lic, however, takes small interest in Philp. It
is evident that he was only ahuman tool.
Whatever becomes of him personally is of
very little more importance than what he—
comes of a pistol or a bludgeon with which
a murderous attack has been attempted. The
implement is an object of but feeble and
transient curiosity. The vital and enduring
interest of the public is to ascertain and pun-
ish the malicious hands that wielded it.
Judge Davis fully recognized this in the
ample opinion he read in announcing his de-
cision. The proofs which have satisfied him
that the Chinese letter imputed to General
Garfield was forged “in body, signature and
all its parts,” are marshallcd with force and
clearness befitting the gravity of a crime
which narrowly escaped determining the for-
tunes of a Presidential election and the gov-
ernment of a great country. “In the light of
the evidence,” he declares, “the conclusion
is irresistible that no such person as H. L.
Morey named in the letter as the corres-
pondent of Gen. Garfield ever existed,” and
the letter itself is “altogether a forgery per—
petrated for the purpose of deceiving the
people and defrauding them, and General
Garfield of their votes." But “the conspira-
cy points to men in other quarters and of far
higher positions" than Philp “of whom he
may have deen an accomplice or only the
dupe.”
Who these greater criminals may be this
frank and lucid opinion also indicates in no
uncertain language. It points the ofllcers of
the law to the filthy aper which first printed
the forged letter, and) to the political agen-
cies which co-operated to spread it.
Is the manner in which die opinion deals
with William H. Barnum. the chairman of
the Democratic National Committee, and his
companions, Samuel J. Randall, Speaker of
the House of Representatives, and Abram S.
Hewitt, :1 member elect of the next Congress,
associating them by name, active agents in
the publication and circulation of the letter,
“in a moral forum” with the original crimi—
na s.
It is a sad event for Mr. Hewitt, aftera
life of more than halfa century distinguished
by the display of personal abilities of a high
order and a public spirit of more than ordi—
nary merit, to be thus pilloried from the
judicial bench for complicity with villains of
the vilest type. Intense partisanship and a
blind self-will have brought him to this
wretched pass. How he will meet the
charge we do not know. But we trust for
his own sake that he will not meet it with a
spirit of reckless defiance—N. Y. Herald.

The Speakership
The nomination of Mr. Perry, of Fairfield,
for the,Speakership, seems to meet with very
general favor. The Stamford Advocate en-
dorses the nomination as follows:
* * While we speak this justly of these
gentlemen, we call attention to the fact that
B‘airfield has elected a representative—John
H. Perry, Esq.-—-—whose friends will urge his
selection on the ground, first, that it is about
time that Fair-field county should have some
recognition for the important work it has
performed in wiping out democratic majori-
ties, and turning defeat into victory during
the last three years. Second, because Mr.
Perry is every way qualified to fill the bill.
Third, educated, graduate of Yale College
and Columbia Law School; a lawyer who
stands high in his profession, the House can-
not find a better man for the place. Mr.
Perry has twice been a member of the Gen-
eral Assembly—in the year of 1877 and 1878,
In 1877 he was chairman of that most im
portant committee—Incorporation as well
as chairman of Contested Elections, and
member of Military Affairs. In 1878 he was
chairman of the Committees on Banks. Se-
cond, to none in the House and frequently
called to the. Speaker‘s chair, he invariably
showed his ability .in presiding over the de-
liberations of the House in each of these
years. A clear, pure man. free from rings
and cliques, he can be trusted with every in-
terest.
We bespeak for him the unanimous sup-
port of Fairfield county, and say to the mem-
bers of the House from other counties, you
cannot do better than ratify the choice of
Fairfield county.
The Bridgeport Standard says:
We notice with pleasure that several of
the newspapers have already mentioned the
name of John H; Perry of Fairfield, for
speaker of the next house of representatives.
This is the third election of a democratic
towu and that he is every way qualified for
that office many old members of the house
will certify. We see no reason why he should
not receive that honorable testimonial of his
political services and personal qualities with-
out a why or a wherefore.
Foot Ball.
Saturday afternoon the First Eleven of the
Norwalk Latin School went to Stamford and
there defeated the Betts’ Military Institute
by a score of one goal to nothing. During
the first half hour the two teams were very
evenly matched. In the second half hour
the Norwalk boys forced the ball constantly
up to their opponents goal; and in the last
half hour the ball was kept there all the time.
It was kicked over the string across the
Stamford goal seven times, but these did not
count, as the rules required the ball to go
under the string. The Norwalk boys then
tried to force the ball through by sheer
weight. It went through three times, but
each time Stamford claimed and was allowed
a foul. At last, just one minute before time
was to be called, the ball was kicked through
without dispute and the game was won.
Prof. Johnson acted as referee. After a
collation had been enjoyed by both teams,
the Norwalk boys left for home, Another
game is on the carpet for next Saturday.

The Hon. John Quincy Adams wishes to
be set down as a “disgusted Democrat," and
gives the Boston Traveller this reason for his
state of mind: .
“A party which allows itself to be dictated
' ..to in a National Convention by one man, and
that one a man like John Kelly, and then
places the direction of its Presidential can-
vass in the hands of men like Barnum, mer-
its condemnation. I am, for my part, greatly
disgusted with the practices of the party,
and shall take very little further interest in
it until it returns to its senses and more hon-
est conduct.” ,
That is undoubtedly an accurate photo—
graph of the emotions of every decent man
in the Democratic party. Barnum is making
them feel “more so” every day by his sense,
less yelps of fraud.

H. Elwell, who was too feeble to undertake

modern manner—stick by stick, or “dry
raising,"'as the carpenters term it. Judging
by the elevations and specifications the
house is not only to be commodious and con-
venient but one of the handsomest residen-
ces in town.

The holidays are fast approaching and our
merchants generally are making preparations
for a lively trade. Readman Bros, in this
issue, call attention to the fact that it is none
too soon for those who intend to have holiday
pictures made to attend to it, as by waiting
till the last end they are too busy to fill all
their orders, and so many are disappointed.
The suggestion is a timely one, and it will be
well to heed it.

NEW ' CANAAN.
E. L. Arnold fell from'a ladder while pick-
ing apples, and was taken up unconscious.
He has been confined to "his bed since, but no,
bones were broken. -‘
The Boys.in.Blue held their final jubilee
parade Saturday night.
When New Canaan really sets out to cele-
brate any event, it does so with great spirit
and enthusiasm. The people all join in and
a glorious good time is sure to result. Last
Thursday evening the Republicans of the
town assembled to celebrate the great politi‘
cal victory, and such a celebration has never
been known in this vicinity. We copy the
following report from the Messenger:
* * * “As the weather was very stormy
in the morning, it was ,thought the affair
would have to be postponed, but as it clear-
ed up a little after 12 o’clock, the prepara—
tions went on, and the result surprised even
the_most hopeful. The Dana building was
again trimmed and decorated as a banquet
hall, both the upper and lower floors being
usd on this occasion. There were four large
tables running the entire length of the large
rooms, capable of seating nearly two hu'ndred
at a time, and some idea can be obtained of
the‘ immense amount of provisions used when
we say that more than one thousand hungry,
non-dyspeptic and good-natured persons
were fed until they cried “Hold! enough.”
There was everything placed before the com-
pany that one could think of or imagine in
the way of victuals. Chickens, turkeys and
meats, cooked in every conceivable way;
bread, biscuits, rolls, buns, crackers; vegeta-
bles served in a dozen different ways; pies,
cakes, puddings, the, &c., and so on &e.,
again. Though we'heard of a number of pigs
discovered during the evening, we saw only
one and that one was furnished by Mr. Edwin
Hoyt, but it was a four-legged one, and it
took the premium, too. His porkship was
‘dressed” for the occasion and presented a
fine appearance. Mr Porky wore a very be-
coming suit of brown—in fact it was “done
brown." The “roast-pig” was one of the
most “taking” things of the evening—at least
It was all taken. Of course the building
where the supper was given could not ac—
commodate such a large number at once, but
this difficulty was soon bridged over by hir-
ing Raymond's Hall, which was tastefully
decorated with flags and pictures. The peo—
ple first gatheredin the hall where they were
given tickets for the supper as fast as they
could be accommodated; at the tables. At
the first table 175 were sent from the hall,
yet It was packed so fullthat even this num-
ber was not missed. While those that were
in the hall were waiting’for supper they were
entertained by speaking and singing. Speech-
es were made by EM. Bliss, Rev. Mark Sta-
ples of Silver Mine, Dr. Brownson, Rev. G.
A. Graves, S. Y. St.John, Rev. J. Nelson,
P. A. Thatcher, and others. A glee club
was formed by some of our best local sing-
ers, and many stirring campaign songs were
sung. Early in the evening the Garfield
Guards, dressed in their fancy suits, marched
into the hall singing “Marching through
Georgia,” and during the entire evening
they made their presence felt. Col. W. G.
Webb, notwithstanding the fact that some
scouudrel spiked his cannon, had his long—
mouthed orator doing duty all . the evening.
Every one heard distinctly what the Colonel
had to say. To sum up everything it was
conceded by all present that it was the most
successful and enjoyable affair ever gotten
up in this town, and we say again that New
Canaan can beat any town of her size in the
State for true patriotism andxliberality—es—
pecrally Orr/the part of the ladies.
,/" . to
President-elect Garfield received more than
150 letters of election day. After deciding
some gardening matters, . drove to the
little town hall in the grove and deposited
his vote in the ballot-box. Eight venerable
men of the township, all over eighty years
old, were taken by a four-in-hand to vote for
the Generalu The ojdest, a bale and hearty
antique over a hand cars old gave three
three cheers for his can idate as he voted for

The directors of the Masonic Benefit
Association held their regular monthly meet-
rng in New Haven last week, when twelve
new members were admitted, and $2,000
benefits were voted to the heirs of three mem-
bers of the Association recently deceased.
Assessments have been collected for the first
two deaths, leaving the assessment uncollect-
ed on 'one death. It has cost but $12 for
$2,000 insurance in this Association during
1880. One $2,500 death claim has been paid
without assessment. The permanent fund
now amounts to about $14,000.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
State of Connectibut, Charles '13. Andrew
Governor and ammunder-in-Ohief—By
his Excellency the Governor. ~
A PROCLAMATION.
Our forefathers planted our State in the
name of Almighty God. To His service
they dedicated their lives and consecrated
their children. They were accustomed an-
nually to set apart a day for special remem-
brance of His manifold goodness and mercy.
In reverent obedience to their great exam-
ple, I hereby appoint Thursday, the 25th day
of November current, to be observed by the
people of this State asa day of public thanks-
giving and praise. -
The Lord hath established His throne in
the Heavens. His kingdom ruleth over all.
He is otrr help and our shield. It-is He that
givcth salvation. In His hand is power and
might, which none is able to withstand. To
Him alone belong ascriptions of lory, for
He is the only giver of victory. et, then,
the high praises of God be in our mouth, and
with united consent let us seek to be di-
rected, sanctified and governed by His infi.
nite intelligence and love.
In the meditations of His house let us be
thankful that our gamers are full, affording
all manner of store ; that no pestilenbe hath
walked in the darkness of night, nor lrath
any destruction wasted in the light of day.
Calamity hath not overwhelmed us, neither
bath the enemy destroyed.
In the gladness of our own dwellings,when
we have eaten and are full, let us remember
that the day requires us to imitate Him who
hath never deserted the faithful, who gather-
eth together the outcast, and who healeth the
broken in heart. And may we all hereafter
so apply our hearts unto wisdom that life
shall bring no shame, and death no fear.
Given under my band and the seal of the
,AJA State, at the capitol in Hartford,

We find the following in the Jersey City
Herald, of Saturday last:
Marriage of the Hon. James K.
Selleck.
The- many friends in New Jersey, and
especially in Hudson county, of the Hon.
James K. Selleck will be pleased to learn
that he was recently joined in wedlock with
ascron of one of the oldest, best and most
prominent families in Connecticut—-Miss
Kate Curtis, daughter of the well known
Mr. Stiles Curtis, of Norwalk. Mr. Sel—
leck may be congratulated in the posses-
sion of a lady of grace, refinement and the
highest culture; and the friends of the lady
may felicitate her on a husband who has no
enemies, and who is admired for his worth
as a man and his usefullness as a citizen.
He represented his constituency ably and
honestly in the Legislature of this State. He
is held in the highest esteem by the citizens
of this county, and there was nothing but
regret everywhere expressed when he re-
moved to New York. Had he remained in
New Jersey this district would have sent him
to congress. We wish Captain Selleck and
has accomplished wife a long, peaceful and
happy life. ’
Prof. Alex Johnston of this place, author
of the History of the American Politics, has
closed an arrangement with Messrs. Rand,
McNally &Co.,of Chicago,to edit the depart-
ment of American Political History (500
pages,) in their proposed “Encyclopedia of
Politics and Political Information." The
foreign departments are in care of various
German, French and English writers. This
is an honor of which Prof. Johnson has every
reason to feel proud.
Mr. Alden Solmans is quite an expert with
the rod and gun, as well as a manufacturer
of first-class hats. Last week he took a trip
up the Naugatuck valley on a gunning ex-
pedition, and hugged some fine game—S. N.
Republican. -
We think Mr. S. has before this, proved
his success as a hunter “up the Naugatuck
Valley,” in a way that might excite the envy
or admiration of almost any sportsman.

“Our present State’s Attorney, Hon. Sam-
uel Fessenden, just fills the bill in the estima-
tion of many of them. We predict that
should “Sam” take it into his head to occupy
a seat beside his friend, Senator Blaine, for
six years to come, that the old Republican
stagers will find him a tough customer to
beat.—Democrai..
Well, if the senatorial lightning should
strike “Sam” the sky hereabouts would sud-
denly become darkened with the hats of the
“boys.”

A correspondent of the GAZETTE, signing
himself “Rex," who has in a humorous and
happy way been showing up the failings or
shortcomings of the would—be leaders of the
Democracy in these parts during the recent
campaign, on Monday last purchased a
“canaler” and extended a cordial invitation
and a free ride to those of his Democratic
friends who were en-routc up Salt river. The
boat was quickly filled, and as 'she moved
down our harbor curses intermixed with
cries of “fraud” and “Rex” Were heard until
at last the poor fellows floated from view.—
