So far as there has been any expression of opinion among Senators in :regard to, the . proper rate of intcrut to be fixed _in the fueling bill, it has ,been in favor of 3; per cent. and it is quite probable that in that; body that rate will be aceepted. In the Houseg while the three per cent. proposition was adopted in oornmlttee of the whole. the pro- pODderanco of financial ability in that body: was against it. The Greenbackcrr. who are; opposed to a funding bill. voted for the low rate of interest. The only two questions; .- ”oriented with the measure are as to the khteof interest the new bonds are to bear- . and the time at which they are to mature i. but these are very important questions. Our: four per cent. bonds areznow selling at 19}? above par, and this is cited by the advocates . bf thenow rate of interest as lnsufiicient‘ psortb'st a three per seat bondwillfioat.; There are some able financiers iii the Senate, and inthat body the bill will, no doubt, receive the calm consideration tit merits. That the'intcrest of'the new bonds canbe redaesd'bdow' tilt of the lowest existing bonds 1- unlvsrmlly admitted. but whether it .can stand a reduction of 25 per cent.— from4t08—or not. is the question. The indications are that the Senate inclines to 8} per cent. as the mfmt rate :of interest. me xxnnooo CASE. Itis the intention of Senator Saulsbury. chairman of the committee on elections,» call up the Kellogg case next week, and urge it to a vote, The Democratic mem- ers of the committee say they have not been advised of any change of opinion among Senators intregard to the case. but they do not~ behave the democratic majority will permit Mr. Kellogg to retain;his seat. The democrats on the elections committee insist that democratic ascendancy in the next Senatadepends upon ousting Mr. Kellogg, andthey are not prepared. so they say.to “' believe that democratl will vote to deprive their party of the last hold it has upon pewer in the government by voting to sustain Mr. Kellogg. At any rate, the committee are determined to have the question settled nt the earliest moment practicable, and there is no hesitation or delicacy in stating as a reasonfor this late action, that it is to retain party ascendancy in the Senate. so that de- mocracy in the U. S. Senatsis not upon a much higher moral plane. than democracy in the National Committee issuing cipher dis- patches for the purchase of the electoral votes of-states, or distributing forged letters to defraud the simple out of their votes. rinse. Thais are at present over 7,000 bills upon the calendar of theHouse of Representatives and there remain about seven weeks of life. to Congress. orjust time enough to clear the dander if an average of1.000 bills per week could be dispomd of. Notwithstanding this state of aflairs. 126 new bills have been in- troduced this week. Is it reasonable to sup. pose that the makers who are still intro. ducing measures have any expectation of ever getting them considered. Mr. Miles willon Monday introduce a bill appropriating 01,500 for the erection, of a fog signal at or near Norwalk Light on the extreme point of Norwalk Island. The Light House Board will also establish addi- tional buoys about Sheffield Island Reef du- ring next summer. . GIN. oars-r. . The bill to place Gen. Grant on the retired list of the army was killed. Thursday, in the House Comndttee on Military Afiairs. The sub committee having the subject in charge, made an adverse report upon the bill, and they were sustained by the full committee by a vote of six to three. This was a strictly party vote. The report may and may not dispose of the measure at this session. It eanagalnbe brought upin theHouse on a motion to suspend the rules, or may pass the Senate and thus cometo the Housefor action independent of the Committee. In this annection. let the loyal men of the country remember that these same men whose partisanship has led them to vote against placing upon the retired list the great captain of the ago. through whose skill and valor the rebellion was conquered and the nation saved, voted to a man to reinstate Fitz John Porter, convicted of. treasonable negligence, and to pay him 075.0(1) for leaving our beleagurcd m hammerearros. __ Thespecifl conimittee to investigate the allegcdfrankingprivilege abuseshada short; session yesterday,'and heard the testimony , or an employs of the democraticCongrei-lonal committee, who testified. that Emmi—not minus-blew put up in frankad pgchgu by that committee. m u. s. remembers sooner.

This work was distributed to subscribers fin town last week. We have before, after hastily scanning it. spoken of‘ its fine general appearance—iii handsome letter press and rich binding.Upon close examination we find evidences of hasty work- if the book had been hurried from the p to the subscrib- ers. As to the contents of the book the general plan seems to be in every way satis- factory, but there are many faults in de- tails, which we regret to see. In fact it has most of the faults usually found in works of this kind, gotten up by strangers with the one view of.making money. The History of Norwalk embraces nearly one huddréd pages, with about a dozen portraits. The early history is made up largely from Hall's Nor— walk, supplemented ‘by sketches from the pen of W. S. Bouton. Esq., in which he thorOughly squelches j “Au'nt Phebe" and ‘O-ne" as authorities and settles everything entirely to his own satisfaction. His article on “The Cannibals of Norwalk” will be read with interest, even if classed with other traditions of its kind. _ The one feature of the book which should have been made the most reliable—the Mili- tary Record—is, in tho case‘of Nor-walk at a record can never be;complete, but this has been very carelessly handled. While scan— ning it the other day in the presence of three “old vets,” belonging to different regiments, two from this town and one. from Danbury, we looked for their names and could not find one. This led to a further examination,.de- veloping the following points, among others: Our “foot cavalrymeu" of the Old Fifth, of whom we are so proud. are not mentioned; the names of our boys in the 12th Reg. are omitted; our “sharpshooters” in the 13th Regt. are overlooked; the entire list of ofil— cers and members of Co. A, 17th Regt. is left out while Co. F is given in full; and our brave boys of the 27th are not even mention- ed. Certainly more care should have been taken with such an important record in a work which aims to bd an authentic history. While we regret these imperfections, proba- bly due to hasty work in finishing up. sub- scribers generally will be pleased with the elegant manner in which the work has been produced.

The Enquirer calls it “a new epistle to the Corinthians,” and thinks his denial of furnishing corruption money in the campaign inconsistent with the fact that he gave the comparatively large sum of $500 for one day’s use in Cornwall, etb. The Enquirer advises Peet to write “a second and more candid epistle to the Corin- thians of Western Connecticut. He cau,if he pleases, tell us just how much mOuey he put into the canvass himself, and to what agents he intrusted with it.

Conn., and before long remov- ed to New York where he became cashier and first bookkeeper with the firm of Hoyt, Sprague & 00. His inclination, however, pointed to W all Street life, and about fifteen years ago he became a partner in the firm of Jameson, Smith & Cotting, where he still re- mains. He has in this time been a director in many large corporations, among which may be mentioned the Panama RailroadCom- puny, the Pacific‘Mail Steamship Company, the Third Avenue Railroad, the Quicksilver Mining Company, the Union Pacific Railroad Company, the Kansas Pacific Railroad Com- pany,‘ and the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph the Woodlawn Cemetery, and was largely interested in its success. His stock opera— tions have been large and very successful. In the panic of 1872 he was one of the few operators who had money on hand, and he used it to advantage in buying good stocks for a tithe of their value. His profits are‘ said to have run up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. When Jay Gould put up Union Pacific, Mr. Smith was in and sold out at a high profit. In politics he is a Republican. Stratfw‘d.—LYMAN SHELDON CATLIN was born at Harwiuton, January 21, 1840.

When this regiment was mustered out, he was com- missioned First Lieutenant, ahd made R. 0.. ‘M. in the Fifth U. S. cavalry, where he re- mained until 1866. Since that time he has been chiefly occupied in life and fire insu- rance and banking. Mr. Catlin has held a. number of borough and school-district offices, and has been secretary and treasurer of the Mechanics and Farmers Savings Bank of Bridgeport since its organization in 1873. In politics he is a staunch Republican. Rev. II. II. Barbour. As many of our readers were distressed. recently, by the rumored death of our late fellow citizen. and as all are interested in his welfare, we give an extract from a letter just received from him by one of his denomi- nation. “I have, I think, most recovered my health at last, although last week I was troubled a good deal in breathing. Still I was able to be at all the meetings of the Week of haw“? a blessed week it was. My wife has been uverted and a number of others. The'attendance at our prayer meet— ings is averaging about 300, and I do believe, from the warmth of the prayers, that God has great things in store for us. Pray that the future may so show.” Many more, no doubt, will respond to this request, earnestly desir- ing his success. We copy the following from the Religious Herald, of Hartford, 0. State journal which is heartily commended to Connecticut patronage: Another Lois and Eunice and Timothy. ‘ In perusing the memorial volume “My Wife and My Mother,” by ‘the late Judge Barbour, since the ordination of his son, He- man Humphrey, who was before a lawyer, to the work of the Gospel ministry, we are :32le with the following paragraph, page “Heman and TOmmy were very sick with the scarlet fever in the mouth of May, 1868, and we thought they would die; but God heard our prayers, as we believed,and spared their lives—we hope for some good purpoaes; we did not ask that they should live unless they would live holy and useful lives. He— mau had, as he said, a most beautiful vision of angels, one night, while he was, as we supposed, on the extreme verge of life. His eyes and his countenance showed that his impressions were very pleasant indeed. They may have been the effect of medicine, or of disease. I will not pretend to account for them. He was quite willing to die. The future may prove that it would have been. better for him and better for the world if he had died then. I trust not." These last words, italicised by us, and those which precede in regard to the prayers and faith of the parents—abundantly attested in other parts of the book—may solve the question of this turning from the practice of law to the preaching of the Gospel. We give the extract and the fact for the encourage- ment of other parents. According to Professor Proctor, the end of the world is postponed until 1897, when the earth and a comet are to pass each other on the same track.

One is to paint the feet with Iodine,, which is not always efficious. The second one is to have a foot tub of water so hot. that you only dip cue toe and quickly take it out, keep on in this way dipping and withdrawing until the whole foot can be held in the water for a second or two at a time, say five minutes. The swelling of the feet after this operation may continue for a day or two but the afliic— tion will be removed. Letters from the People. EDITORS NORWALK GAZETTE :—- .

The Fall River Steamboat Company signed a contract with John Roach 85 Son, Monday, for the construction of an. iron steamboat which is to be completed ready for service before May, 1882. She is to be the largest and finest vessel running on the Sound. Her length over all, on deck, will be 395 feet ; length of bull, 380 fett; extreme breadth of beam across the guards, 87 feet; breadth of hull,50 feet, and 17 feet depth of bold. She 'will be built upon the cellular syst’em,tbnt is, with two hulls—the most recent type of ship- building iusuriug safety—tile cellular spaces at the sides being two feet deep, and along the bottom three feet deep, between the bulls. The spaces between the two hulls will be di- videdg’nto ninety—six water tight compart- ments, and, in additiOn, there will be six water-tight bulk—heads from the inner bull to the main deck. The new boat will be provi; pad with a steam steering apparatus, and an independent or safety- steel-ing quadrant aft, in case of accident to the steam gear. The means for extinguishing fire, fOr 0101;; one compartment from another, and other provi— sions for safety, will be on the latest improved methods. The engine will be on the “Will"- iug-beam” principle, with 110 inches diameter of cylinder and fourteen feet stifle. There will be four main boilers, their construction being such as to warrant carrying a pressure of steam fifty pounds to the square inch, al- though the working pressure will be about twenty-five pounds to the square inch. The paddle-shaft will be twenty-six inches in di- ameter, and with the piston-rod, connecting- rods and rock-shafts, will be made of the best wrought iron. The machinery will be inclos- ed in a compartment of longitudinal and athwartship bulkheads, carried up to the hurricane deck. The passenger nccommoda - tions are intended to be superior to those of any steamboat now afloat.

Barnes 6; 00., New York; price 50 cents. ..,._.__ O The North American Reoz’ew for February is the literary phenomenon of the month. First we have an earnest and patriotic article by General Grant, advocating the Nicaragua Canal project. The genial Oliver Wendel Holmes, follows with an essay ‘fThe Pulpit and the Pew.” Under the quaint title of “Aaron’s Red in Politics,” Judge A. W. Tourgee emphasizes the obligation imposed upon the Republican party by the Chicago platform, of making provision for educating illiterate voters. The sixth of Mr. Charnay’s papers on‘the “Ruins of Central America” isdevoted to a description of the Pyramids of Comalcalco, which must rank among the most stupendous monuments ever erected by man. . a The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company has published for gratuitous circulation a. new edifim of the “B. Sb 0. Red Book,” with the complete ofiicinl election returns in every congressional district of the whole country, also the returns from each district in 1878 for comparison. Interspers‘ed through the neat little book are articles of the- Balti- more & Ohio Railroad, and while it is an advertisement in one sense of the word, its great value as a reference book renders the fact that it is an advertisement a matter of secondary consideration, for if people will do a good thifig for the public, who is not will- ing they should make money by it? The company has in press still another “B. (it 0. Red ’Book" which will give in full the official returns Of the vote cast for President in the late election and also the presidential vote cast in 1876.

About a Sleigh Ride. A story is told by one who knows the facts, of a sleigh ride Mrs. Hayes to )k recently, as illustrative of that lady’s unspoiled nature and hearty sympathy with others, especially with children. A search in the loft over the stables belonging to the Executive mansion discovered an old shabby sleigh, left there by the last. administration. Mrs. Hayes, whole always keen for an innocent frolic, had it brOught out, on one of the days when the snow was deepest last week and the horses put to it. and set out for aride. The vehicle was so shabby that she directed the driver to keep off the more public thoroughfares. While driving through the quieter streets :1 small urchin, who was playing in the snow, called out, “Please may I ride on the run— ner ?" She laughiugly consented; and soon after he had climbed to his perch another asked the same favor, to which she agreed, and presently other gamins besought her for a ride, and she tool? one On the seat beside her and allowed another to sit with the coach- mnn. She gave all, including those on the runners, a pleasant ride, putting them off at 'their homes before—she returned to the White House, leaving them without a suspicion that they had been enjoying a. sleigh ride with the wife of the President of the United States. She enjoyed it. far more than if she had bad a magnificent sleigh drawn by six horses and the highest poteutate as companions. I.»— During the year 1880 there were 7,207 miles of new railway track laid in the United States. As would naturally be the case the largest additions to mileage were made in the territories and in the more rap— idly growiug states, no less than 1,632 miles, or 22% per cent. of the whole, having been laid in the territories alone, while 2,236 miles were constructed in the states of Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and Texas. Two states only, New Hampshire and Mis- sissippi made no additions to their railroad mileage. In the whole of New England there were only about 128 miles built, of which 35.70 miles are set down to the credit of Connecticut. Rhode Island only laid Seven miles, but her apparent lack of enter— prise is perhaps excusable on the ground that she put down all she had room for. Of all the states and territories Dakota leads the list with 680 miles, Texas coming next with 658 miles, followed by Ohio with 525, New Mexico with 519, Iowa with 445, Colorado with 401, Nebraska with 385, Kansas with 344, and Illinois with 342. New York state laid only 41 miles, while Delaware fools the list with one mile. ' ' —————.—‘.a—.-——-—-—- What the Democratic party wants is n icy. It hasn’t had any for the last twent- years.
