Editorial Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. 0., Dec. 12, 1880.
DEAR GAZETTE — ,
The PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Is deemed by
' our leading Republican statesmen as a clear
and candid rather than’particularly brilliant
or ’ able document. Gen. M’Cook has by
common consent, in his bill, improved on the
President’s plan for “providing for,” as it is
generally put, but as your correspondent
thi'rks would be far better and more truly
exact, if the phrase were altered to “doing
‘ justice to Gen. Grant.” The Utah part. of
the message will invite legislative action.
Presi 11:111. Hayes has doubtless hit: upon the
most effectual plan 01 suppressing [.o‘ygamy
by depriving every n an who violates our
common law in this respect the right. to vote,
The average Mormon, however much he may
love his pl ul‘alll)‘ or a‘ives,is said to IOVclliS po-
liticalgiglrts and p: ivi eges‘far more, and will

tory, now 5,, a-nbirious to become :I state.
The: C vil Sl-r'vic: Ilrcor-ies advanced in the
meson: lllUt-l. universal approval as abstract
theo , but r3: t one intelligent congressman
or r-r intelligent politician we have met,
of crane party, believes it possible, in our,
elect form of government, constantly
champ? g our rulers and law makers, from
Preside..t down,_ that in practice any such
theorier can be made to harmoniously work,
The new President comes in and must
have his own selected rctinue of private
secretaries and clerks. The Cabinet Ministers
will have their sons, nephewa or intimate
personal friends as their nearest, confidential
assistants. The Senator or member of the
House who chances to get abhairmanship of
a committee, must and will have his trusted
clerk, not only to arrange and conduct the
business of his committee, but more especi-
ally to relieve him of his overwhelming bur-
den of private correspondence and duties
imposed by the home constituents. So that
from the White House down to the most
obscure' Light House on our coast, these
changes in office are inevitable and cannot be
avoided without serious friction and indeed
positive injury to our public service. Then,
again, there is just and solid ground for
opposing the introduction into our American
system of public service the European grades
of office-holding aristocracy. “Rotation in
office” is far more popular with the masses of
,our people than the modern Civil Service
Reform theory of “once in office always in
office." It is said that President elect Gar-
field has some clearly defined practical ideas
which he will recommend, as to the routine
clerical positions held in the public service,
where competency and good conduct are the
only needed qualifications. These positions
clearly ought not to be made contingent upon
a clerk’s political, any more than upon his
religious or denominational preferences.
Such positions in their perpetuity can well
and might beguarded by law, but any such
comprehensive Civil Service system as is
outlined in the message, can never be made
a practical success and beneficial to the whole
public service unless our elective system of
government is also changed.
ooxcnnss.
Senator Morgan, the bright and cute Ala-
bama lawyer, has elaborated an Electoral
Bill, which has occuped the attention of the
House to the exclusion of all other important
legislation. The Republicans resist its
present consideration under the belief that
our opponents have a mischievous purpose in
so tenaciously insisting upon its present
consideration and adoption. The Democ ats
protest there is no African in {he fence, but
that it is honestly and only what it seems.
But as they have been so often impeached in
their truthfulness where their party was to
be advantaged, it is not proposed by Repub-
lican members to allow them to by any indi-
rection an opportunity for increased partizan
supremacy. The very pcrsistency with.»
which they are trying to coerce their measure
thr‘ough the House, belies all their protesta-
tions that their bill has no partizan signifi
cance. On this account, if for no other, the
Republicans will resist the proposed enact—
ment to the last extremity. Mr. Robeson
made a constitutional argument against it on
Wednesday, that surprised and delighted
even his most ardent admirers. Mr. Robeson
is now accorded, with unchallenged unanimi-
ty, the high honor of being about the ablest
constitutional lawyer in the House.
PATENTS.
Connecticut still holds her lead as the
most prolific of all the states in the number
of her inventions. Per capita, our State
leads all the (thers by about eight per cent.
in the number of patents issued to our citi-
zens. The past year, was one of largely
increased business at the Patent Office,
showing that the improved general prosperity
of the country has also very greatly stimula—
ted the inventive faculties of our people.
SESATORS.
The many friends and personal acquaint-
ances of Secretary Sherman, will rejoice in
the assurances givcrr rrs by Ohio politicians
that Mr Sin-rump is as sure to be returned
to the. Sen In from that stain, as “Gallant
Jo.- is from Connecticut. Such a
result is Cause for just pride to O'nioans and
-of national congratulations. In the election
of no other man to succeed President elect
Garfield, could Ohio gain so much glory to
herself, or the nation be blessed by the ser—
vices of so wise and rarely experienced and
In“ In)".
- eminently sagacious a legislator. Mr. Sher-
man is in the highest sense, an accomplished
statesman, and his fitting place is in the
United States Senate.
It is claimed to be equally certain that
Galusha A. Grow is to be returned from the
great state of Pennsylvania. This,.if true,
will send a thrill of enthusiastic rejoicing
throughout the nation.
Ever since we saw him rise up in his seat
in the House, now twenty years or more ago,
and with a well aimed blow, send the inso-
lent son of South Carolina chivalry Keit,
(who had left his seat. to come and brandish
his fist under Grow’s nose,) sprawling at full
length down the aisle, we have continually
yearned to see Grow Senator or President,
one or both, and for either of which posi—
tions he is abundantly qualified in ability and
character. '
Representative Hlscock of Syracuse, it is
said, will be a very dangerous competitor for
the New York Senatorship. Congressman
Morton will also be a formidable candidate,
it is asserted. An effort will be made to
create a “boom" for Representative Chitten-
den, of Brooklyn, and who failed in his re-
election but it is not believed his candidacy
is likely to be at all dangerous.
Congressman Frye is believed to have the
best chance of receiving the successorship of
Mr. Hamlin of Maine. Should Blaine be
prevailed upon to accept the Portfolio of
State, about which there Seems to be no
doubt as to rts being subject to his accept-
- ance, Eugene lI-Ile will then be practically
certain to so III: the then vacantScrIaturslrip
The Pine—Em.- Slate would thus have an
infusion of young blood, and commanding
talent in the Senate.
Gen. Ben. Harrison, a grandson of Presi-
dent Harrison, is said to be almost certain to
secure United StatcsSenatorship from In-
diana.
PACIFIC RAILROAD, $20.
This morning’s Sunday Herald has the
following tilt at crrr Connecticut delegation.
Whether the divisions stated really exist be-
tween our members is true or not, in this
instance, we do not know, but we do know
that many a good position at home and
abroad has been lost to some good Republi-
can of Connecticut, for the simple regison
that .two of our congressmen could agree
' on any one candidate. We. hOpe it will not
prove so in this case, but to the Herald’s
stow. “There is a vacancy on the Board of
Directors of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company. occasioned by the resignation. of
Daniel W. Chadwick, who has been appomt-
a
cd United States District Attorney for Con-
necticut. There is a squabble over the
position, although the pay is very small. Mr.
Chadwick being a Connecticut man, the
Connecticut delegation concluded that his '
successor ought to come from their state
also, and accordingly each member present'ed
a name for the place. The delegation called
upon the President yesterday about the matg
tar, and he told them that if they would
agree upon a suitable person he‘would ap-
point him, and this, as yet, they have not
been able to do.”
' WEATHER.
The weather here singularly, has been a
“leetle” colder than in Connecticut, for the
past week. The ice cream vendors and
meat men are now'harvesting ice from six to
eight inches thick and are in ahey~day of
delight. The large goverment pond, which
has been used for the propagation of the
gourmarrd’s favorite fish the Carp, has been
drawn off to three feet depth and allowed to
freeze over and here daily and nightly,
thousands of old rrrcn and matrons, and
maids, and young men and maidens, clril—
(iron and almost babes and sucklings, are to
be seen wildly sliding and skating with an
intensity of delight, born no doubt of the ex-
ceptional rarity of this kind of sport lrcrc
EXTRA SESSION. '
There is talk of an extra session. It is not
now believed probable. If the Dsmdcrats
occupy all this session in their attempt to
force through their electoral bill, then of
course, in extra session will be inevitable.
Members talk of a short holiday recess, ad—
jorlning from Friday the 24th inst, to Mon-
day the 3d of January.
' CHEAP PoserE.
Senator Blaine believes that letters can be
carried for two cents if postal cards can for
one cent, and will introduce a bill for such a.
reduction of letter rates. Many favor en—
tirely free postage on all newspapers to bona
fide subscribers, in the interests of popular
education. If the people so will it, they can
just as well pay the whole or any part of
their postal expenses by general taxation as
they now tax themselves for the army and
navy. The lowest possible rates for all mail-
able matter, will certainly prove popular-
with the great masses of the’ people, and we
rejoice that Mr. Blaine has the'sagacity to
see and act upon it.
INAUGURATION.
Among the many organizations which have
notified the inauguration committee of their
intention to be here on the 4th of March, are
80 members of the Bridgeport Scdgwick
Guards.
PERSONALS.
Postmaster Dunning of South Norwalk, is
before Senate Committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads, for approval of his recent re-
uomiuation and to which there is of course,
no objection.
Mr. Manice Lockwood of Norwalk, "re
viewed” the capital last week with his fair
young bride. '
Rev. Dr. Childs is preaching to delighted
audiences here. His, family is housekeeping
in a furnished house near Gen. Garfield's
winter residence.
Major Gen. Alfred H. Terry of Conn, it
is reported, is likely to be selected by the
President to take charge of the West Point
Military Academy. .
Both Houses having adjourned over from
Friday to Monday‘ our members have had a
chance to do up the little chores of their
constitunts at the Departments.
Gen. Woo-Tsze—Tung, the Chinese Com-
missioner of Education at Hartford, accom—
panied by W. H. Keller, Esq. of Hartford,
arrived here Saturday morning. In the
afternoon, in company with various mem-
bers of the resident Chinese Lagation, the
General visited the Patent Ofiice. He was
specially pleased with the models and took
the address of several inventors of novelties
that interested him. As Ever, B.

The oyster supper given by the B B’s at
the Adams House, on Wednesday evening
last, in honor of Capt. James and Lieut.
Cousins, was a decided success in every
respect. About 80 partook of the host of good
things with which the tables were loaded,
and all pronounced the supper as one most
creditable to the Messrs. Adams. After the
tables were cleared, Mr. James Earle called
for three cheers for the guests,—the Messrs.
Cousins, which were given with a will,
followed by a Bigelow one. Then in, re-
sponse to calls Capt. James and his brother
Lieut. Joseph Cousins, each returned thanks
for the ovation, after which Messrs. Craw,
Rider, Readman and Lieut. Gruman were
Pcalle'd upon and responded in a few remarks.
Much regret was manifested at the unavoid-
able absencc of Ist Lieut. Murray. On an
adjournment to the parlOrs the subject! of
continuing the organization of the Bigelow
Battalion was opened and Messrs. C. P.
Woodbury, J. B. Ella and Capt. James
Cousins remarked thereon in answer to calls
upon them. It was decided to continue the
organization under its present oflicers, after
which music and songs was indulged in until
“break rands” started all for home.

Berkeley Street.
This new street is showing more life and
act‘wity than any street in town—“of its
size." The new houses are progressing as
rapidly as'could be expected with the Incr—
cury bobing around just below zero. _
Dr. Hitchcock’s new barn has been c rm:
menced.
A cellar has been partially excavated for
a new house which Mr. Geo. H. Raymond
proposes soon to erect.
There are but two or three vacant lots now
left on the south side of this street. Iron
water pipes have been distributed the length
of the street, and will be laid when the frost
comes out of the ground.
Christmas Cards.
We have now in stocfi the best assortment
of illuminated Christmas cards ever shown
in Norwelk; our stock includes Prangs
$1,000 and $500 prize cards. We have also
New Year and Birthday cards on hand.

The New York Tribune.
As a news and family paper the “old re-
liable” TRIBUNE has never been surpassed, if
equalled, and it is a better paper now than
ever. It is a clean paper—every line in it
can be read with profit by every member of
the family. We regret that we cannot say
as much fit every metropolitan journal. No
newspaper in this country has for the past
thirty years exerted so' great an influence,
and done so much to mould public opinion
on all important questions of politrcs and
morals, as Tm: NEW Yorur TRIBUNE, and a
high authority has said of it that it “has done
0 more to make good farmers and good citizens
than any other single influence that ever
existed in this country." We call attnntion
to its prospectus in another column, and also
to its extraordinary premium offers."

ground.” It lies about eleven miles north of
the City Hall, and is accessible by river and
railroads: and, although they do not reach it

The Demornlized Sentinel.
The Sentinel again splatters lrke a Fonrtlr
of July pin whet-l, in two columns of “twad-
dlc" spitefully squirted at us. This is not
the way injured innocence vindicates itself.
We will do that paper no injustice. Few
words and little space only are needed to
close the controversy. If the Sentinel will
candidly and without quibble or evasion, say
it was not doing political printing of any kind
on the Sunday prior to election, we will ac.
cept its statements as true and copy its
denial. Now, neighbor, dong/point blank,
own up or shut up. - The current rumor at
South Norwalk was and is that you were.
We do not know whether it be true or false,
but such the rumor was nevertheless,as every
Republican at South Nor-walk knows and
which the Sentinel knows or ought to know.
We think the public report was erroneous in
the precise document the Sentinel was charged
with printing. , It was not a “lie” as the
Sentinel charges for us to publish the report.
We guardedly used the exact words—“it is
said," and “is reported,” If the Sentinel
cannot distinguish between our publishing a
“report" known to every Republican at
South Norwalk at least, and our endorsing
such “report" to be true, its ignonance is to
be pitied. The error of that “report” we
believe to consist in the precise thing charged
as printed by the Sentinel. That paper says
it did not print the Chinese letter, and we
believe it states the truth. Will it be equally
frank and say what it was it did printpr that
it printed nothing at all that Sunday? If it
will, we will th‘en gratify its curiosity to-any
extent as to how (our Sundays were employed
prior to election.

“A most wonderful transformation has

given by the Rentz‘s Minstrels, as seen at the
Opera House last evening. The large
audience present will bear us our in this
assertion that it is one of the most charming

from catarrh, in fact we never saw a child of
his age so badly affected. Many times has
he been taken from his little crrb In the
morning with his-night clothes completely
covered with blood which had discharged
from his head during the night, and the
physicians have claimed that he could not be
cured—that he, Would, to an extent, outgrow
it, but could not be permanently cured. Mr.
Sutton, hearing of this fact accidently, in-
duced us, almost against our wish and with
no faith in its resulting in any good, to try
his remedy. It gives us pleasure to say that
we followed directions carefully, and in less
than one month became convinced that a
cure was being rapidly effected, and the
child Is now free from any trouble or pain
from catarrh, though he is still using the
remeg.

A Fine Thing for' the Teeth.
Fragrant SOZODON’I‘ is a composition of
the purest and choicest ingredients of the
Oriental vegetable kingdom. Every ingre—
dient is well known to have a beneficial effect
on the teeth and gums. Its cmbalmlng or
antiseptic propertv and aromatic fragrance
makes it a toilet luxury. SOZODONT re—
moves all disagreeable odors from the breath
caused by catarrah, bad teeth, &c. It is en-
tirely free from the injurious and acrid
proprieties of tooth pastes and powders
which destroy the enamel. One bottle lasts
six months. 3t49

Of course. What else are we here for?
For example: Mr. Asa F. Bearse, of Cotuit,
Mass, had been troubled for years with
diseased liver and could get no relief. He
was not fit for business, and carried his life
likea burden on his back. Just then his
friend, Capt. Hondy said: “Asa, why don’t
you send to Dr. David Kennedy, of Rondout,
N. Y., and get a bottle of his “Favorite
Remedy ?” It will only cost adollar, and
may do you good.” Bear-so did so, and after
ashort time was sound as the dollar with
which he bought the medicine. To be sure.

THE LARGEST CIRCULATION AMONG THE

During the past year the NEW Your: TRIBUNE
reached the largest circulation it ever attained.
With the surgle exception of a. short period in the
first Lincoln campaign. It Is a larger circulation,
and more \vrdely distributed over the whole
country than any ever enjoyed bv any other
newspaper in the United States. This fact may
be taken as t e verdict of the American people
on the TRIBU‘E’S political Iorce.lts fidelity to
sound principles. and its meri s as a newspaper.
For 1851 the TRIBUNE will try to deserve equal-
ly well of the public. It will labor for, and It
confidently expects. the incoming administration
to promote. a free and fair suffrage. North and
South. sound money, protection to home indus-
try.jrrdi_ctous libcra Ity in Internal improvements
and n. 01le Servrce conducted on business prin—
crplcs, on the theory of elevating, not ofignoring
or degrading politics. -
The well-known special features of the TRI-
BUNE \vrllbe sedulously maintained. Its Agri—
cultural Uepartment will remain the fullest and
best. The Household and Young Folks’ Depar.-
ments, the literary. scientific and, religious fen-
