DEAR GAZETTE :9— 4 ‘ l The close of any session of. Congress is an impbrtant-cvent, but the winding up of the thirty-sixth Congress, with all, its checkered record of blundoring absurdities, was an oc- casion of picturesque interest The several appropriation bills and the usual routine log— islatiou seem to have been carried through. Many private claims. and great numbers of miscellaneous measures have failed. It will require many days to come, to know ~defi— nitely what of ill the great mass of bills have been passed and what lost. It is certain that not less than from 1,300 to 1.500 bills died with the 36th Congress, the largest number by far being private bills for pensions, claims and relief in other shape. Some of these measures consume days of the attention of Congress. Over one hundred bills that were on the Speaker’s table, many of which had passed the Senate, failed. Col. Waite seems to have gottenhis appropriation of $5000 for the Groton centennial spree,. and Mr. Miles overlays him by securing $30,000 to “com- plete a light house on Forked Rock, or on such point in'Stamford harbor as the Light House Board may select.” An appropriation of $35,000 was also carried for a Light House. and Fog Bell on Whale Rock at the entrance of Narragansett Bay, R. I. This is the point on which the Providence steamer was a lost last year in a fog. The funding bill was crowded through with all the Senate amendments, the House not daring to let it get into the hands of the Senate again. The bill thus went to Presi—‘ dent Hayes who promptly vetoed it in a message which is the very best of his con—‘ spicuously clear and able sorics,although they do say that Secretary Sherman prepared it for him. The Apportionment Bill as it final- ly passed the House was, in fact, the Repub- lican and not the Democratic bill. The one— my were beautifully caught in their own oraftiness. The House adjourned with the usual for- malities and the members are fast dispersing- In the Senate the new Vice-President and all newly elected Senators but two were sworn in and now sit in executive session to confirm‘the new President's Cabinet and other nomina— tions. All this, however, was secondary in interest to the one engrossingfsubject of the inaccuna'riou. Washington never were so general and universally decorated holiday appearance. There was a thousand fold more bunting fly— ing all over the city than at our former in_ augural. The public buildings, and even the long and disgracefully neglected Washington monument were most gaudily decorated, while stores, workshops and dwollings were radiant in red, white and blue from Monday to Saturday eve. Friday morning, the 4th, opened most dismally. A cold storm of rain and sleet had set in and, left two inches of ice and snow on the ground. Up to nine o‘clock a more dreary prospect can scarce be imagined. The gaudy draperies were soaked, frozen and bedraggled. The miles of stands and benches erected on either side of Penn. Avenue were so covered with ice and snow that the very thought of . sitting on them for three hours, till the inaugural procession should file past, gave an additional chill to the air. Those rough board seats had sold from two to three dollars up to late Thursday night, then they were pressed 611 at thirty cents each,.and windows on either side rose' from five, to ten, twenty and even twenty- five dollars. But just as the advancing col- umn escorting the President and President- clcct turned from Fifteenth street into Penn. Avenue, the veering northeast wind turned into the west, the clouds broke and the sun came beaming forth as if engilous to honor the august pageant with its radiant benedic— tion. Gen. Sherman, the chief marshal, estimates there were thirty-five thousand men in line of march. Certainly no such vast numbers or brilliant display has been seen since the grand army, review at the end of the war. Pennsylvania had the largest , number in the procession; New York' came next with her two military regiments, the Roscoe Conkling Club and her G. A. R. Veterans. Our own little State sent the Sedgwiek Guard, Company B, Fourth Regi- ment, Connecticut National Guard, Captain George W. Cornell, commanding; Francis A. King, first lieutenant; Wilfred T.Van Yorx, second lieutenant, and had sixty men in line. Uniform: Double-breasted dark blue coat, with light‘ blue trimmings; light blue pants, with dark blue stripes; dark blue cloth helmet, with gold spike and trim- mings; knapsack and blue blanket, armed with the Peabody rifle. Governor Bigelow and stafif did not take part in the inaugural procession owing to the storm in the early morning, but all did themselves full credit at the inaugural ball in the evening. . AT THE CAPITOL. Arriving at the capitol the President-elect, accompanied by President Hayes and the in- augural committee, passed to the east portico and there delivered his ' masons“. ADDRESS. 0 This will live, like that of the martyr president’s, in the litefiture of our land and language. it; delivery was so thoughtfully reverent as to doubly inspire-those fortunate enough to be within hearing distance. At its conclusion the tears were plainly seen to glistcn in his eyes as he turned to the Chief Justice and firmly said, “I am now ready to take the oath of office.” The oath having been administered he turned with open arms towards his aged mother sitting near, who instantly sprang up.clasped her truly stalwart son in her feeble arms and most fervently kissed him. He then bowed and kissed his wife and the ceremonies at the capitol were at an end. Not so the magic of that mother’s kiss, which was flashed on electric lips throughout the American Union, and is still thrilling the hearts of our fifty millions of people. In that one act of filial love and reverence, the crst barefoot boy, and now President of the grandest government on the globe, betrayed to all the world the God- given nobility and grandeur of character, inherited from his God-revering mother. This evening’s Star, which is under demo. cratic control, utters the following just and gracious sentiments regarding the inaugura— tion and start-off of Gen. Garfield’s adminis- tration: ’ “The inauguration of the twentieth Presi- dent of the United States has been accom- plished not alone peacefully, but accompani— ed with the approving shouts of Citizens from every state in the Union. A 'new adminis- tration of the government never entered into power under more auspicious circumstances. Nowhere was there any demonstration of partisanship. Sectionalism, which for many years past has obtruded itself upon such cer- emonies, was nowhere visible. It appeared to be forever buried and Gen. Garfield was received and welcomed as the President of the entire country. The thousands of coun- tena'nces upturned towards the President as he delivered his inaugural all betokcned con— fidence in the man and in his future adminis- tration of the government. Every utterance of his in reference to the glory and grandeur of a thoroughly united country called forth shouts of approval from the men of all sec- tions. The-military display wasthc grandcst ever witnessed in' this country _in time of peace. President Garfield certainly has the heart of his country. with .him at the begin- ‘ ning of his administration.” ‘ Trincanlsnr. The President sent to the Senate this afternoon the followingnominations. J amcs G. Blaine to be Secretary of State, William Windom to be Secretary of. the Treasury. . . '- Wayne Mchagh, of Pennsylvania, to be attorney general; Thomas L. James, of New York, to be Postmaster General. Samuel JrKirkwood, of Iowa, to be Soc-_ rotary of the Interior. _ Robert T. Lincoln, of Illinois, Secretary of War. Wm. H. Hunt, of Louisiana, Secretary of the Navr- the Cabinet, he asked them to name 7some be satisfactory to them.- Among those named for the President to choose from was Robert Lincoln, the only surviving son-of the Martyr President. General Garfield-at once replied it- is‘ said. that it might be deemed sentimental in him, but his own mind had fixed upon Mr. Lincoln and he was delighted to find that his thus connecting his administration with :that of President Lincoln mot thc‘concurrcnt approval of the Republicans of Illinois. . Robert Lincoln is now 36 years old and a practicing lawyer in Chicago, _of conceded ability. He married the beautiful and ac- complished daughter of cx—Senator and See- a responsible and lucrative practice. , After representative Morton declined the Navy Secretaryship, General Garfield was most fortunately free t) make New York’s exceptionally popular Postmaster, his Post Master General. Mr. James will bring the very highest of ability, and that of a thor— oughly practical character to the discharge of his onerous duties. ' Mr. Mchagh is a son—in-law of Simon Cameron and a brilliant and able lawyer and orator. . No better or wiser selection, in the judg- could have been made for the Treasury. Mr. Windom is a man of broad and states- manlike views, of great experience in national affairs and the fit successor of John Sherman. , Judge Ilunt has been connected with the Court of Claims. Senator Kirlzwoodis an able lawyer and wise adviser. THE new susaru. In the new Senate there are 37 democrats, 36 republicans and 2 independents, Davis and Mahonc. A successor to Matt Carpen- ter is to be chosen and Mr. Frye will sue— ceed Mr. Blaine. The committees will be made up at once and President Garfield’s nominations will doubtlesa be promptly con— firmed, and the Senate adjourn before the vacant seat from Wisconsin can be filled. As the House will not be in session no business except that of nominations will come before the Senate, unless that body chooses to take up the Chinese treaty. ' The talk is that' the special session will not last over ten days. ‘ The democrats are anxious for an adjournment. They now hold the organization, but fear if the session is continued until republican vacancies are «filled it may be taken away from them. i’nusoxALs. ‘- _ .

Two persons on the Presidential train were killed and a number of others . wounded. B. _._.._._.'———— Saturday morning, Gov. Bigelow’s party called upon Gen. Sherman and Secretary Ev. arts, and visited the war and navy depart- ments. In the afternoon they visited the White House and were cordially received by President Garfield. At five o'clock, by re— quest of exSecretary Robeson, the Governor reviewed the Ninth New Jersey Regiment. On Sunday most. of the party attended Dr. Ranki ’5 church in the morning, and called upon écretary Blaine in the evening before ' taking the cars. at 10 O’clock, for home. 1'” Board of Trade. ‘ Two quite enthusiastic and. well attended meetings of our local Board of Trade were held last week at which matters of great in- community were considered. . ' The ofiiccrs of the association elected last year were continued, audit was voted to ask the Legislature for an act of incorporation. The officers are James W. Hyatt, President; Joseph B.

As the main object of this society is to en- deavor to promote the growth of the Bor- ough by inducing new manufactories to lo- cate here, it is hoped that all who feel a local pride in the place will join the society and help along in the good work contemplat- ed. Thc dues are small, only $1 per year, and cannot, therefore be onerous to anyone. Meetings are hereafter to be held on the 1st Tucsday evening of each month in rooms to be procured for such purpose. mm, Concord Division, S. of T. The thirty—seventh anniversary exercises of Concord Division, No; 2, S. of T. were held on Friday evening last. The attendance was large.

Before Mr. Blaine bid adieu to the Senate _ ed. Senator Blaine’s resignation goes to terest to the business 'portion at least of our. ing. the number .of tour Stat! Senatorial’Dir- _t_ri_ct to 24, the number allowed by the Con- ‘Stitution is to be considered and acted upon by the Legifiture this week. The commit- tee are to report favorable upon said action being taken and will submit a plan for the redistricting of the State. This number will give an additional Senator each to ,New Haven, Hartford and Fairfield Counties. The proposed districts for this Coupty, are said to be as follows :~— " Greenwich, -'St_amford," Daricn,» Wilton, ' New Canaan, and Ridgefield, one district. Norwalk, Westport, Fairficld, Easton, Weston, Bedding and Bethcl for another district. ' _ Bridgeport a district by itself. Danbury,‘New Fairfietd, Sherman,- Brook- field, Newtown, Monroe, Huntington, Trum- bull and Stratford, for still another district. This arrangement, it is thought, so nearly equalizers the districts in regard to population that it will not be necessary to make any changes for 20 or 30 years to come, and as towns could not be divided and must‘ be contiguous to each Other, this seems to the committee,to be the most feasible plan that could be adopted. - By this division the Stamford district will comprise ,5 towns and have 9 Representatives; tho Norwalk District will comprise 7 towns with 10 Representatives; Bridgeport District two Representatives ; and the remaining dis- trict, 9 towns with 11 Representatives. m . A Dam Scare. Late Friday evening a messenger came riding post haste to the Bridge iwith intelli- gence that the mill-dam at the old" Slitting Mill Pond, just above the Norwalk Mills, Winnipauk, was, owing to the late heavy rains and the pressure of the vast body of ice in the pond in danger of and in‘ fact was momentarily expected to give away, and if it did, it was feared the dam below at the Winnipauk Mills would also break away with the sudden rush from above, and thus the whole contents of the two ponds be let loose upon usat once, with the almost dead certainty of several buildings coming down stream with the ice. Therefore the. man .- gers of the upper Mill, who were at the scene of the threatened disaster doing what they could to prevent the breaking, by filling in at the weak places with wool sacks, finding as it had bulged out very badly in one place, deemed it expedientto senda warning below of what might be expected. Immediately on receipt of the intelligence messengers were dispatched in haste” to awaken and summon thoseof our business men who had property that'w'ds thought to be imperiled by su’ch an avalanche of water, ice and» timbers. Of course there was a prompt rally and for one hour or two men were hard at work removing goods, &C-, from rear to front of stores, and away from immediate contact with the river. _Messrs. S. E. Olmstedd & Co., of the Norwalk Foun- dry had a large force on removing patterns, flasks, &c., from the. river front, back on' to Mechanic street the upper end of which just above their foundry they barricaded with their heavy wooden flasks, &c., and did all that their ingenuity could suggest to prevent being washed away. Others along different portiOns of the river front were similarly engaged, but hour after hour wore away and the volume of water coming down decreased. instead of increasing, so that finally after making everything as secure'as possible, the men were dismissed and all returned again to their homes, and some with fear and trembling, to their beds, yet dreading to be aroused again by the roar of the advancing waters, butmorning cams unusually bright and serene and, their property was all intact the dams having very properly refused to break away and let loose their pent up power of evil, so that now all are happy and can but smile over their scare of Friday night. m , - .P. T. Barnum owns a lot of land in Bridgeport, west of Iranistan Avenue, which is just lovely. It has a magnificent grove, a grandiloquent beach; is easy of access by land and water, is just (in the heart ofthe ozone section, (having been reclaimed fr'om mud and marsh,) is the finest spot on earth for a sea-side resort, from forty to fifty acres can be had for a trotting course, and stra go to say, above all the other attractions, “it. will make a desirable location for the Fairfield County Fair.” A meefing of citizens is to be called, and the wonderful project pushed forward as fast as possible. So Bridgeport is not satisfied with its elephants, ozone and Seaside Park but must try to * gobble up our annual Fair. Well, possibly, Norwalk will survive if it doesflose that institution. Our obituary record this week includes the names of several venerable ladies well known in this vicinity. Mrs. Sally Randle, widow. of the late Samuel P. Randle, and mother of Lewis H., Henry C., and Joseph 'C. Randle, died in Vilton, on Wednesday last, in the 86th year of her age. 011 Thursday, Pally, wife of Smith Soo— field, died in the 75th year of her ago. On Sunday, Mrs. Laura, wife of Andrew Hathaway, died at West Norwalk, aged 60 years.

The question of building the New Canaan one of iron evoked some. discussion, the estimate bcing about $3,300, while a practical stone mason offered to build a stone one and give bonds for the satisfacto- ry doing of the same for about $3,500. The resolution was finally amended to read stone instead of iron for the New Canaan Bridge and then passed by a large majority. One singular feature of the meeting, something entirely unusual, was the passing of the vote ’to-build without. limiting or restricting the committee as to style or expense to be incur- red in building the said bridges. Messrs. S. E. Olmstead, Burr Smith andAudrew Sellzck were named and elccted as the Committee.

Well, President Garfield has made his Cabinet and the members have all been promptly confirmed by the Senate, while the Junior of the Gazsrrr.‘ who has been patiently waiting to be summoned to a place therein, has been passed by and left out in the cold as usual. We have heard so much the past few years from the Democracy of the rewards constantly conferred by the Republican Presidents upon all those Who had even gemotely had anything to do with securing their nomination, that we had be- come firmly convinced that we should be offered the premiership, ie. Secretary of State—though of course we should have pre- ferred the Treasury+for ea last summer when the clans ‘were warring for Grant, Blaine or Sherman, did we not ignore them and name Garfield as the coming mam—the one able and worthy for the position—and of course our having so named him, was the cause of his selection at Chicago, when the decisive ballot was taken. ' But, for some strange'reason, (perhaps not knowing. us personally) he has completely ignored in in making up his Cabinet. Pos- sibly he has something better in store for us. , For instahcc, one Connecticut journalist, Montey Bailey, has written about England from a back window; perhaps Garfield will give us a chance to supplement Bailey's Book with “views from a front window" by making us the US. Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of- St. James. We are too modest to urge the matter but patiently await the telegraphic summons from _our noble and generous Pres- ident to accept or reject the same. ' m PERSON AL‘. W. P. Foss has gone West. Wm.

At Music Hall, this evening, we are to be favored with “Deacon Crankett,” a New England idyl by the author of “Helen’s Babies.” The company hails from the Union Square theatre, New York, and Ben Magin- ley who was here not long ago in the. “Danites,” plays the title role. The play is 'a pronounced success, and Haverley is said to have offered as high as $40,000 for it. ‘ It has the freputation of being pure in tone as well as deeply interesting. , At Music Hall, on Wednesday evening, there is to be a treat in the way of minstrelsy by the mammoth company of Barlow, 'Wil son, Primrose do West, with a host of end men, interlocutors, clog dancers, ballad singers, comedians, instrumentalists, etc. , numbering forty altogether. Certainly noth- ing more; can be asked for than the perform- ance‘of the promises of the managers. We have few minstrol entertainments lately, and this will be sure to draw a good house. Music Hall was a sight last night, for it was packed from pit to dome—the aisles, up stairs and down, ' c filled with those who could not obtain seats. The audience has never been exceeded in size, and never by. one in better humor. The rise Of the curtain was hailed with applause, the first joke with roars of laughter, and every selection in the long programme rcCeived tokens of approval.

He will be the guiding gen- ius ofthe Administration, and 'will prove, it we mistake not, the best Secretary of State the Nation has had for years; and thermal: agile Republican Senate ever seen in the Capitol could not have confirmed President Garfield’s Cabinet with greater celerity than was manifested yesterday.” when they find it in danger of running out. peat them,‘whcn London swore they were The New Haven Register, in what is ap- parently meant to be‘ an exhaustiveland un- answerable argument on the color-blind law, rather sharply overhauls.‘ Dr T. W. Bacon’s report to the State Board of Health, and at- tempts to correct him as regards a stat out made about the Norwalk railroad acct eat. The Doctor says: “A member of the legis- lative committee which investigated the causes of this disaster told me a few days ago that, according to his recollection, the testimony at the time of the trial showed that the red ball, the signal to stop,wa5’prop- erly displayed, but the engineer took it for the green ball, which meant to go on carc- fully, and drove his train off the bridge into the river." The Register man interviews one whom he says is an old railroad man, and who would seem to convey the idea byhis talk that he was an engineer, but his statement of facts is so very far out of the way that we cannot hardly swallow even the Ilegistor’s endorse- - meat of his being a- railroad man. He says: “At the time of the accident there stood but a short distance from thc'bridge and di— rectly in line between the cab and the signal ball at the draw a tall and very thickly foli— aged tree. This would often hide the ball from View, and I have driven over the track when that tree stood there and have been un- able to tell whether the ball was up or not. S 1 I have slacked up and held my engine un- der control so that after passing that tree I ' could act as would be necessary. * It it! * It =l= iii * “In point of fact, there is only one ball used, and that ball, no matter what the color, signifies that the draw is open. Supposing Tucker to have been color-blind, the accident would not have happened, for the sight of anyball would have caused him to stop. Al— lowmg him to have been absolutely unable to distinguish red from green, the accident could have happ ed if he c'ould,have caught alght. of the sigma , for no one will claim that a man who can see at all cannot distinguish the difference between a large round ball, which meant death, and a slim, straight sig- nal gallows, which meant safety. The theo- tree are all fallacies, and the cause of the ac- cident was the existence of that tree, which prpy’ented the engineer from seeing the sig- nu . Now the real facts are, as remembered here in Norwalk, and that were brought out by the coronerls inquest, was thatga tree was the cause-but not in the way stated above. The signal could only be seen at certain points, it was not in continuous light, and from one of the first points of observation could be seen nearly in direct range of and at nearly the same distance a cedar tree which had been so trimmed or grown that nothing but a round top was visible, and that about the same size as the bell used for a’ signal, and the general conclusion at the time was, that poor Tucker, looking from his engine at the first point of view, saw this round top cedar and. mistook it for the bell and therefore did not slacken, and when he got on ‘whcre he (could distin- guish the difference it was too late to stop. Again the Regular man says that the tree hid it, so that he could not tell whether it was up or down, and the sight of any ball would have made‘him stop as he could not have failed to distinguish between alarge round ball which meant death, and a slim, straight signal gallows which meant safety.” New here comes in our doubt of the Regis— ter’s man being a Railroad 'man, for from .time immemorial on this road the signal. has been the reverse of his statement; the ball up betokens safety, for it is only 10 wer— cd when the draw is about to be opened and is not again hoisted until the draw has been closed and properly secured. So that an engineer seeing the ball up had no occasion to stop or slacken speed, but if the ball was not visible then he must promptly come to a full stop. The Register was rather too hasty in its congratulations of giving, after a lapse of thirty years, “the true reason for the cause of the terrible accident.” ' m Telephone Service.
