'Asbusn'al, the Democratic mountain has
labored and Brought forth the traditional
mOuse. Congressman Finly knew his party
when in brokeness of spirit he predicted it
“would go back on their Electoral Count-out
Bill and make it itself the laughing stock of
the countiy." Mr. Biekncll, who had cham-
pioned the nlmuturc in the’ House, with
gluon inset-it bravado, was finally compell-
d to withdraw it to save it from disastrous
defeat. beatlm: full a quarter Of his Demo-
cratic fellow merrily-rs were either absent or
if present refused to v to for it. The last
shot he was able to Ire on his ignominious

«‘ Moped by the test Vote on the measure',
when only 85 votes could be marshalled in its
{aw-r. fl yet when the Democracy came to
Vote a half—hour later for House Postmaster,
u hundred and eighteen were recorded. The
explanation of this is that there are quite a
numb-r of Democratic members, whose
pmhit y and honorable instincts will not allow
them to anstai ny such piece of partizan
intrigue. The have Garfield to have been
honestly elected and believe every business
and other interest demand he should be in-
augurated without attempted compile-tun
or legal obstruction.
'I‘hsré are two theories as to the purposes
.of Democrats in insisting upon the passage
of their Electoral Bill, and both come from
suggestions thrown out by friends of the
”Bill. One is, that under it, the vote of New
York can be thrown out and thus the election
of President thrown into the House. The
other, that after the enactment of the Electo
ral Bill, the Democratic members can leave
the Hall in a_ body and thus destroy a quorum
and prevent an election. All this is looked
upon by candid and sensible members as
childish and even idlotlcdly stupid. There
is no way to thwart the will of the American
people in the election of Garfield. and Arthur
except by open treason and revolution, and
there is no danger of that. It is a thousand
pitias the Democracy could not learn wisdom
by the past follies and humiliating failures,
and set themselves to work in aid of measf
tires of national advantage, during the few
weeks now left them in the lower House of
Congress-
“ can. errant.
The visit of Gen. and Mrs. Grant here has
greatly stimulated the social festivities of this
festival season. He is forced to attend from
from two to five or more luncb' parties, re-
ceptions and dinners per day. A State
dinner was given him and Mrs. Grant at the
White House, and one not 'a whit less pre-
tentious or elaborate was given at the palatia
winter residence of Hon. John B. Alley, one
of Massachusetts‘ able ex-congressmen, at
both of which [parties Mr. and Mrs. J. R.
Hawley, of Connecticut, were present. On
Thursday he visited both Houses of Congress,
and recesses were taken by House and Senate
to greet and haudashake the silent man of
Mars. He left again for New York Friday
evening, but will return here again in
February and remain over the inauguration
ceremonies.

Wednesday, during the debate in the
Senate on the bill for the relief of S. A. Lowe
Mr. Vest, of Missouri, said: “The people
sent out by Plymouth Church, and other
pillars of God and morality, headed by that
old acoundrcl, John Brown, who afterward
justly cxpiated his crimes on the scafiold
at Harper's Ferty,"werc responsible for much
of the violence of that unfortunate time."
He did not propose to quietly hear the people
of Missouri charged with projecting slavery
statutes intogxansas. .
Mr. Ingalis, responding to Mr. Vest, said
he did In! propose at this period of the
Nation's history to enter upon a vindication
of John Brown. John Brown was executed
as a traitor on the 2d of December, 1859.
But the Nation took up the flag that he laid
down at Harper‘s Ferry and bore it in tri-
umph through four years of war to Appo~
mattox Court-house. John Brown was about
four years ahead of his time. It was the
Nation that was laggard, and it required but
a very few years after his decease for the
Nation to occupy the platform on which be
had stood.
Mr. Edmunds said he began to get inter-
ested in the bill since John Brown's name
had been brought up, although, he added,
nothing that can be said of him in the Senate
good or evil, will mar the brightness of that
fame that will go down asthe type of honest
thOugb it may be misguided love of liberty.
His body lies mouldering' in the grave, but
his soul, thank God, is marching on.
DISEASE!) ANIMALS.
Before the House Committee on Agricul - ,-
ture, Wednesday, Assistant Secretary French i
said pleuro-pneumonia and hog cholera were
established facts among cattle and hogs in'
this country, and the only question was how
to eradicate the disease. The Secretary of the
Treasury says' to Congress that American
hams,accordin-,z to reports received of consuls,
and‘ experts, do not contain trichinis.

their place of nativity as Jerusalem. The
two first named spoke and wrote their name

PENSIONS.
Thursday, the regular Pension Bill of fifty
millions passed the House. Mr. Hubbell,
Who had the bill in chnrge,made a statement,
showing that $24,000,000 has already been
paid out under the Arrearges get and that,
supposing 30_ per cent. of the 281,000 claims
now pending under that act to be rejected,
197,000 more first payments, averaging $1,—
100 each, will be required. To meet these
and some other claims, which will average
about 8567 each, will require over $219,000,
000, making, with the amount already paid,
about $243,000,000. This will be required to
meet first payments only. The average age
of pensioners, Mr. Hubbell says, is 41 years,
and he estimates \that the annual payments,
when all the pending claims are disposed of,
will amount to $46,000,000. Mr. Hubbell
declared that the present pension laws do
not afford sufficient safeguards against at-
temptsto defraud the government, and he
reciteda number of successful attempts to
defraud the government under the present
system. He declared, on the authority of
the Commissioner Of Pensions, that probably
about $4,000,000 is now paid yearly to pen—
sioners on papers which have been fraudulent-
ly obtained. Despite these admitted frauds,
there are thousands of deserving pensioners
whose cases have been hanging for, in some
some cases, twelve or more years, and some
new system ought to be adopted by which
such delays might be obviated.
It should not be forgotten however, that a
Democratic Congress in the hope of captur—
ing the soldier vote, hurriedly passed the
‘
ime, to hamper the Republican ofilcials who
were faithfully executing the pension laws,
they refused to supply one quarter of the
clerks needful to examine and issue the pen-
sions their bill had authorized.

Sad Accident.
On Tuesday afternoon last, Mr. Allen Lane,
a young man about 20 years of age, nephew
of Mr. Henry F. Guthrie, was killed at
Guthrie’s Saw Mill, Silver Mine. It seems
they had hoisted a large log upon the skids
and he went up the derrick to throw it out of
gear, but he seems to have made a mistake
and not done so, or at least not so far but
that it slipped back and the handle revolving
rapidly struck him upon the forehead crush—
iilg the skull in ; he lingered about-3 hours
in great pain. The deceased was said to be
a young man of great promise and the event
cast a gloom over the community.
“
Emory Whitlock an old resident of New
Canaan, well known in this vicinity, died on
Tuesday last from the effects of injuries re-
ceived a week before, while hauling wood.
It seems that he was walking alongside of
his horse, and striking the animal with his
cane to start him along a little faster, the
horse jumping one side, stepped on a rolling
stone which caused him to fall and in falling
he rolled over on Mr. Whitlock, and so
bruised and injured him that he died as be-
fore stated, on Tuesday.
An Easton Defaulter.
Eastou and vicinity have been much ex -
erg'sed the last week by the abscouding of
a local cattle dealer, named Arthur Tucker,
who has it seems victimized his friends and
neighbors on all sides. He bought all
the cattle he could in Easton. Redding, etc,.
and also got his personal friends to endorse
for him to a considerable amount and then
he decamped for parts unknown. A day or
two after he left, and in fect,the first intima-
tion to his creditors of it, his brother Floyd
sent circulars from Bridgeport informing
them of it and that his brother’s liabilities
were $3,600 and his assets two horses and a
carriages and offering to €settle for 20
cts. on a dollar. The offer has not been
accepted and something over $4000. has been
counted up by the‘Easton people as his
liabilities. Mr. Tucker has hitherto been well
thought of in the community and in 1878
was elected by the Democrats a member of
the lower house of the General Assembly,
and his short comings now, cutting as they
do among those who have befriended him,
cause the most bitter exccratious, and the
victimized ones propose to follow him up,
catch him and punish him if possible.
#—
The air has been full of rumors for some
days, of a serious defalcation in the Board
of County Commissioners, all sorts of stories
being told of various large amounts and all
coupling the name of Commissioner Wright
of Greenwich, with the credit of being
the defaulrcr. Last week the town of
Bridgeport entered suit against the Board
Of County Commissioners for about $4,000
due them on liquor licenses. It~ is claimed
that Mr. Wright, as Treasurer of the Board
has, without the knowledge of the other
members, misappropriated money paid in for
licenses, and has ,not so far made the
amounts good. He has a good bondsmen to
the amount of $5,000 so that probably it
will all be made good. Examinations of the
books have been made, it is said, by t‘hgother
commissioners! but they are reticent as to the
result and nothing definite can be found out
from them. The report that Mr. Wright
had absconded is untrue and we understand
that his friends claim that what now appears
crooked in his;uccouuts can be explained,
when he recovers from the illness which has
kept him from attending the meeting of the
Board for the last week. We trust he will
be able to do so, if not, let him be punished
the same as any and all defaulters should be,
not let it be condoned because a Democratic
Commissioner was spared a few years ago,
who defaulted for a much larger amount, the
same town Of Bridgeport which is now first
and foremost is pushing this matter of Mr.’
Wright.

Civil Service Reform.
Our Democratic friends continue to keep
up a hullabaloo about Civil ice Reform,
and, having been disappOinte their efiorts
to turn out altogether the Republicans still
in oflce, they are now trying hard to make
the tenure of office permanent by way of
keeping in the Democrats whom President
Hayes has appointed during his ill-judged
efforts to conciliate the Solid South. .Now,
as fat as a desire to improve the Civil Service
is concerned, there is no difference in Opiu-
ion anywhere in the country; the Democrats
mightas well devote their time to praising
the Ten Commandments as to attempt to ex-
alt themselves on this score. But. as to when
this is to he done there is a grout. difference
of Opinion. S lme ruttlc-bruined theorists
assure us that it is to be done by pulling',r the
candidates up in a row and ca'ntmining them
on “The Ptoession Chile-Equine“ among
the Ancient Etruscnns," or, “The Result Of
an Irresistible Fm'ce applied to on Imulovn-
blc Body," to determine their fitness to be
lcttcr-sortcrs or assistant.sub-doputy-inspcc—
tors Of whiskey—barrels. And they assure
us that it" this is done, and the appointees
get permanent ofiiccs, everything will be
lovely. .
Now the fact is that all this has been tried
and found wanting. It does not. suit; agov-
ernmcnt which must be changed every four
years. In the first place the examination is
not a test of fitness. The best and most efli.
cient clerks at present in the Departments
are not. highly educated men, but. men who
know the routine of their Official duty thor
oughly; nor, On other band, do highly edu-
cated men, full of the hopes and ambitions
which education brings with it, make the
most efficient clerks. Now in the second
place, examinations are not, and cannot be,
fairly conducted; influence is always too
strong for them. Even in those branches of
theserviee where examinations profess tO be
everything and influence nothing, those can-
dldntes who are backed by influential Sens.—
tors and Representatives invariably come out
of the examinations with flyingr colors.‘ It’s
a queer fact, but it's incontrovertible.
But, any the theorists, look at Postmaster
J ames' New York Post Office; see what the
examination system has made of it! The
New York Commercial Advertiser, whose edi-
tor knows more Of the grue‘inwerdness of
New York politics than all 'thé theoretical
Civil Service Reformers from Dormau B.Eat.-
on to George William Curtis, has assured the
public, without contradiction or fear of it,
that the examination system in the New York
Post Office is carefully managed so as to do
no political inj ury,and that Postmaster James
knows perfectly well what he is about.
In a country like ours, where every man is
interested in politics, and where politics con-
sequently takes all the similitude of war, ap-
pointments and removals must necessarily be
governed in great measure by political reas-
ons. From the President down to the Survey-
or of a Port, no man will willingly or know-
ingly appoint to a subordinate Office nperson
who is constantly engaged in efforts to turn
the appointing power out of office. Such a
heavenly frame of mind may become common
some time during the millennium, but proba-
bly not: during the next four years. Not
much! '

‘A Grand Reputation.
Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure has
reached a reputation that is not limittd by
the confines of section or country. There are
no injurious substances, nor false aud‘tetu—
pornry stimulants in the preparation. It. is
purely vegetable, and compounded under a
formula that has passed severe tests, and
won endorsements from some of the highest
medical talent in the country.-—Nezo York

Of course. What else are w ore for?
For example: Mr. Ass F. Bearsc, 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
liken burden on his back. Just then his
friend, Capt. Hondy said: “Asa, why don’t
ou send to Dr. David Kennedy, of Rondout,
N. Y., and get a bottle of his “Favorite
Remedy 't’" It will only cost adollar, and
ashort time was sound as the dollar with
which he bought the medicine. To be sure.
