Editorial Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. C..March 20, 1881.
DEAR GAzIm-E :—
The experiences to—(lay have been a repe-
tition of those of the 4th of March, with a
driving snow storm in the morning, all ves-
tiges of which disappeared later in the day
but occurring just as the first flowers of
spring are blooming, and the tree buds burst-
ing, on all southern exposures it furnishes a
novel variation to the monotony of the
week’s wrangle at the Senate. Last‘ week,
the Senate committees passed into Republi-
c.“ control, and on Wednesday Senator
Disresiutroduced resolutions for the elcc-
tion of Republican officers of the body, in
places of those who took the positions he’d
by Republicans up to the democratic acces-
sion to power, two years ago. This loss of
party patronage, very naturally aroused the
active resistance of the democratic side and
the weary struggle has been kept up all
through the week.
The gentlemen placed in nomination by
the Republican caucus were for Secretary,
Geo. C. Gorham, of California; for Sergeant-
at—Arms, Henry H. Riddleberger, of Virgi-
nia; for principal executive clerk, James R.
Young, of Pennsylvania; for chief legisla-
tive clerk, Charles W. Johnson, of Minne-
sota; for chaplain, Rev. Dr. Byron Sunder-
land, of Washington city. Geo. C. Gorham
held the office of Secretary of the Senate
from 1868 to 1870, when we lost control of
the body. He hl’becn influential in Re-
publican councils for years, and in the
political campaign of 1878 he was secretary
of the Congressional committee. Mr. Rid-
dleberger is a Virginian readjuster and was
the author of the bill, which took his name,
for a settlement of the state debt, and which
was vetoed, after having passed the legisla-
ture, by Gov. Holladay. He has been one
of Mr. Mahouc’s chief lieutenants for several
years past, and was, until he became a candi-
date for Sergeant-at-Arms, spoken of as the
coming readjustcr candidate for governor of
Virginia. He owns and edits a weekly
‘ paper at’Woodstock, Va. He was a captain
in the confederate army and served through-
out the war, prindipally in the Shenandoah
valley. Mr. Young held the pOsition of
executive clerk under the Republican Senate,
and lost his place by the incoming of the
democratic majority. Dr. Sunderland was
the chaplain at the time of democratic
accession, and his place was also given the
present democratic chaplain.
The democrats strive very hard to enforce
their point that this is a “bargain sale,”
between the Republicans of the Senate and
Senator Mahone. The consideration being
the said Mahone's vote, by which and the
Vice President’s casting vote, the political
power of the democrats passes again to Re-
publican hands. The facts are, that so
desperate has been Mahone's fight at home,
with the bourbon democracy, and so bitter
the assaults upon him, pending his canvass,
(which was made before the people of his
state) and which assaults were again made
in the Senate in the most offensive way pos-
sible, that he could not, with any self respect,
affiliate with the democrats of the Senate.
The bitterness existing between the “re-
adjusters” and bourbon democrats is more
intense than between the republicans and
democrats and it is this hopeful fact that has
led the Senate Republicans to encourage and
aid the readjustor element, to the extent of
gracefully offering to Mahons the naming of
one candidate in the Senate reorganization.
Diligent inquiry gives this explanation of
the meaning of the term “readjuster.” The
onerous debt of Virginia, which had grown
and augmented under strict bourbon rule,
became so burdensome to the people, that
the reigning democrats sought to evade its
payment altogether, as an unjust war debt.
Then arose the Readjuster party which said
that the debt was a moral and legal obliga-
tion which could not be evaded without disn
honor to the state. But they said this debt
was created when what is now West Virgi-
nia was part ahd parcel of the mother state
Of Virginia and pro-rats, was responsible
and should pay its share of the burdens.
Upon a careful revise of the Grand list of
the state before the new stategvas formed,
it was found that West Virginia embraced
just about one-third of the rateable valuation
and therefore. the new party favored the
payment of two thirds by the parent state and
one third by the new state of West Virginia.
Able and‘upright men, familiar with all the
facts, claim this to be exactly just, honest
and fair to thetaxpayers of the two states.
A small, but inefectual party of Virginia
Republicans took the ground, that as West
Virginia had gone off and there was no way.
Of forcing her to .pay her equitable share of
this debt and she of course was unwilling to
assume any part of it, that therefore old
Virginia could not without dishonor refuse
to pay the debt in full; As the issue became
more hotly canvassed, these Republicans
saw that the aim and efforts of the bourbon
democracy was to repudiate the whole of the
debt, and the readjusters were for honestly
paying two thirds, as what they believed
their state to be justly liable for, and they
united with the Readjustcrs, and hence the
new “Readjusler” party of Virginia. Ma—
hone was C]L('lt d to the Senate by the voters
of these reform democrats and republicans,
in_ opposition to tax-Senator Withers who
was supported by the regular or bourbon
democrats. But there is another feature in
the platform of the Readjusters, of far
graver moment. They are tired and detest
the wicked methods of- the«ruling solid
south, democracy. The Readjusters pro-
claim for free opinions, a free ballot and an
honest count. The latter, Senator Mahcnc
charged Ben Hill to his teeth that he (Hill)
knew was not now permitted through the
South. It is to the furtherance and encour-
agement of this last reform, that the Repub-
licans of the Senate are more than anxious
to show and prove their aid and sympathy
to those southern democrats, who are known
to be indignant at the outrages now perpe-
trated on the free exercise of the elective
franchise. .
‘ Information from many parts of the South
goes to show that the reform movementip.
augurated by Mahono in Virginia, insisting
upon a fair vote and honest count, is the
beginning of a “land slide” which is steadily
spreading and is 'sure to split asunder the
ancient and arrogant and brutally dominent
democratic party of the Southern States.
The struggle now going on in the Senate
is but a trivial incident by itself alone, but
as proving to such honest democrats of the
South, that in any stand they may make in
their respective states, of opposition to' the
shot-gun and tissue ballot policy of the
bonrbons‘, they will have the active sympa-
thy of the Administration and of the
Republican Congress, it is of the gravest
moment, and any Republican Senator would
lamentably fail in his duty to his party and
his country who should be indifferent as to
the far4reaching results of the present issue.
TIIE EXTRA snssrox.
The President had a talk with Secretaries
Blaine and Windom in regard to the extra
-session question. Secrctary Blaine is in
favor of" calling the extra session, and See.
Windom opposed to it. No decision was
reached. Sec. Windom stated that the
matter is now in such a shape that a final
decision may be reached at any moment.
The indications still point to no extra session,
as tho business men of the country are now
plying the President with telegrams depreca-
ting a summer session of Congress. Indeed,
the last two regular sessions have been looked
upon by business men in the light of public
calamities, and they desire no more of it
than they can possibly help, even though it
is to be hereafter Republican. .
rnaxcx's LOAN. '
Mister Noyes has telegraphed to Secretary
Blaine that the total amount of the loan
recently negotiated by the French Govern-
ment is $200,000,000 reckoned in American
/
x
" :22 $4.041.“ gig: ‘7. J;- 1‘ .
‘Ip }.
currency. ' The rate of interest was 3 per
cent. and the government sold the bonds at
83% cents on the dollar—16% cents below par.
The bonds are to be paid at par in seventy-
two years, there being an annual drawing by
lot for those that shallbc paid each year.
The present market price Of the bonds in
Paris and London is 85. By computations
made at the Treasury it seems that the rate
of interest realized by purchasers of the loan
is equivalent to about four per cent. per
annum.
ANTIOII‘ATING THE INTEREST.
The Secretary of the Treasury has author-
ized the payment on the 28th instant,without
rebate, interest due April lst on the4per
cent. bonds. There is such a demand for
money about April lst each year that it is
designed to give the money market the bene-
fit of the few days anticipation of the inter-
est,insasmuch as the money is lying uselessly
in the Treasury vaults.
‘ GOING To OIIINA.
Commodore Schufelt, of Stamford, whose
orders as naval attache to the American
- legation at China, have already been men-
tioned, will soon sail for the Celestial
Kingdom. .
ABOUT THE NOMINATIONS.
The Star very correctly says that rumOr
has placed Senator Conkling in so many
attitudes with regard to the nomination of
State Senator Robertson to be Collector of
Customs in NewYork city that it is fair to
conclude that the whole subject has been one
of guess-work principally. The expressions
uttered about the Senate chamber since the
nomination -was sent in, indicate that Mr.
Robertson will be confirmed. Should an
attempt be made to bury it in the commerce
committee, which is not very probable, the
senate can discharge the committee from
consideration of the case and confirm the
nomination; Senator Conkling has never
yet so conducted himself as to warrant the
impression that he thinks he, and he alone
should control a Republican administration.
Among the nominations made by President
Garfield for New York Mr. Conkling’s friends
have not been neglected. It has been uni-
versally admitted that the slate he preferred
for district altorney,marshal and other places
was given him in full. The character of the
nominations shows that the President is
considering the Republican party as a whole
and not by factions. There is a disposition
on both sides of the Senate chamber to
confirm the president’s nominations. Both
parties in the Senate have confidence in the
President, and the opinion is very. general
that he ought not to be antagonized at the
beginning of his administration; that the
statesmanship he has heretofore displayed
will guide him in his present position ; that
in the early days of his administration he
has enough to embarrass him ; and, further,
that it- would be unworthy the Senate to
oppose nominations on any personal grounds.
This feeling in the Senate may be counted
upon to confirm all the nominations of the
President made at this session. ,
The French Mission and New York’s place
in the Cabinet are well known to have been
given because of the parties pleasant relation-
ships to Senator Conkling as well as because
of their special fitness, and while Judge Rob-
ertson is not probably the man either Vice
President Arthur, or Senators Conkfing or
Platt would have chosen, the belief is gen-
eral that they will gracefully yield acquies—
cegce to the President’s judgment in the
matter, and that the antagonisms reported
are the sheercst fabrications of those on
mischief bent. "
Judge Robertson is well and favorably
known here because of his exceptionally
brilliant record in the House and among
those acute politicians who care more for
party harmony than individual leadership,
claim is made that this nomination is more
akin to the manner of one of Abraham
Lincoln’s harmonizing and uniting appoint-
ments than anything yet done by the Presi-
dent. The general judgment here is that
this appointment is both patriotically wise
and exceptionally sagacious, and no one
doubts that he will, be readily confirmed.
w. E. CHANDLER. ‘
Another wise and happy appointment is
the selection Of Hon. Wm. E. Chandler for
the position of Solicitor General. He was
formerly a most ofiicient Assistant. Secretary
of the Treasury, and to him more than to
any man living was President Hayes indebted
for being inaugurated, yet as inexplicable as
it may seem, no expressions of gratitude for
Chandler's extraordinary exertions and servi-
ces, or even the slight courtesy of an invite
to the White House was ever extended him
by Mr. Hayes, and it is left for his far
greater successor, to make this tardy but
abundantly deserved and grateful recognition
of his impgrtant and distinguished services
to the Republican party. The duties of
Solicitor General are thus defined:
“The Solicitor General assists the Attorney
General in the performance of his general
duties, and by a special provision of law in
the case of a vacancy in thepfflee of Attor-
ney Geneial, or in his absence, exercises all
these duties. Except when the Attorney
General in particular cases otherwise directs,
the Attorney General and Solicitor General
conduct and argue all cases in the Supreme
Court, and in the Court of Claims, in which
the United States are interested; and, when
the Attorney General so directs, any such
case in any court of the United States may be
conducted and argued by the Solicitor Gen
oral; and in the same way the Solicitor
General may be sent by the Attorney General
to attend to the interests of the United Slates
' in any State court, or elsewhere.
ANOTHER r. M.
'The President to-day sent in‘ the name of
Capt. Leonard A. Dickinson as postmaster at
Hartford, in lieu of Hon. Wm. Faxon, who
was confirmed a few days since, but who
having accepted an important civil posi—
tion in Hartford, declined to qualify. It
is to be hoped this new appointment may be
promotivc of harmony in the Republican
ranks in our capital city. H. N. Trumbull,
Esq., was also sent in as Collector for the
port of Stonington. Both are sure of con-
firmation.
SENATE DELAY.
The fillibustering still going on in the
Senate .is likely to open afresh next week
and to then become more a test of physical
endurance between the two parties. Thus
far it has proved a personal convenience to
the President, as it has given him time for
deliberation in the selection of rival candi-
dates and the opportunity to send in a larger
number of appointees. The democrats now
boast they will remain and Call the yeas and
nays till December before their political
appointees shall be removed, but the Repub-
licans accept their boasts as more of their
“last ditch” vaporizings and propose to
crowd them to the wall and vindicate the
constitutional right of a majority to rule “if
it takes all summer.”

their old places from which they were re-
moved when the democrats secured the
chairmanships of the Senate committees.

Death oI‘Dr. J. Gr. Barbour.
I): James G. Barbour died on Thursday
last, at the residence of his sou-in-law,
Frederick B. Raymond, on Union Park, of
paralysis. He was out but a few days be-
fore, apparently in his usual health. He
came to Norwalk about the year 1852 and
purchased the Storrs Hall school property on
East avenue for a summer residence. He
then had a dental office in N cw York city
where he had been practicing for some twelve
years. In 1853 be arranged to devote three
days each week to the practice Of his pro—
fession in Norwalk, and soon after gave up
city .practice entirely, continuing his busi-
ness here. Of 1. early life we know but
little, but- we have heard him speak of cross—
ing the Atlantic, and are under the impres—
sion that one time he followed the sea.
When he first came to Norwalk he joined
the First Congregational church, and was
always earnest and active in church work.
In politics he was an active Republican from
the first organization Of that party. He
raisedalarge family, his eldest son being
the late Dr. James E. Barbour, who was so
well and favorably known inthis community.
Two of his daughters are married and living
here, while his eldest daughter and several
sons are living in ornear Chicago, we be-
lieve. His- funeral was attended yesterday
from the First Congregational church, the
pastor Rev. Mr. Hamilton preaching the
sermon, and the Rev. S. B. S. Bissell offer-
ing prayer.

._We are informed that a large quantity of
powder, in kegs, has been left unprotected
and unsheltered, on the late Samuel Seymour
place, near the Darien turnpike. It was
formerly stored in an old powder house
which has been sold and moved away. Our
informant does not know who it belongs to,
but thinks it is the property of out-of-town
parties. Fires have recently'been started in
the vicinity. The owners or the authorities
ought to remove it and prevent the possibil—
ity of accident. '

We have received in years past for publi—
cation, many interesting communications
descriptive of the delightful climate of Flor-
ida, its delicious fruit, beautiful flowers,

friend Dr. Swift sent us one last week “for
private circulation.” which was the best and
sweetest it has ever been our lot to receive
from that charming country—a box of choice
sweet russet oranges. We never before
realized that the dark and speckled Florida
oranges were so much superior to all other
kinds. We wish all our readers might have
ataste of them, but as they unfortunately
cannot, they must take our word for it that
they were delicious.

was done to the vehicles. In this connection
it may be well to again warn people against
the criminally 'careless and too universal
habit of leaving horses unhitched‘ in the
public highways. With this habit so in
vogue the community is constantly threat-
ened with an unnecessary danger, for there
are few things more terrifying to man and

Day Policeman.
We regret to see a movement on foot to do
away with ‘the day policeman recently placed
on duty by the Court of Burgesses. We
believe in the old adage “an ounce of pre—
vention is worth a pound of cure,” and
honestly think that the mere fact of their
being such an ofiicer tends very materially
to render our streets safer and pleasanter for
our women and' children. The unlicensed
liquor sellers, we think, are a little more
careful about shoving their finished work
out on our streets, after his money has been
all spent with them for rum and made an
object of terror to timid ones. And as rov
cards the expense, we very much doubt if at
the summing up at the end of the year, it is
found to be an additional expense, from the
fact that he looks after and collects license
fees from street hawkers and vendors, who
otherwise would ply their vocation without
paying anything into the Borough treasury,
now they have that‘fec to help put them
more, as regards expense, on an equality
with the dealers who hire stores or rooms
and pay taxes with us ; thus in a small way
helping to protect the regular dealer. No,
gentlemen, think the matter well over, ere
you decide to do away with the day police—
man.
(lamp Fire.
The G. A. R. camp fire, at South Nor-
walk, last Tuesday evening was largely at-
tended, delegations being present from Dan-
bury, Bridgeport, Newtown and New Haven'
posts, and from Buckingham post, borough.
The Douglas Fowler post received their
guest at the depot and escorted them to the
Hall. As the Bridgeport post had a fine
drum corps with them, the parade was quite
effective. At the hall, after the; customary
interchange of civilities, the guests were
invited to partake of the “spread,” which
comprised baked beans, hard tack and coffee.
All are supposed to have been delighted
with the menu, unless it wasComrade Tay—
lor, of Bridgeport, who was singled out as
the largest eater of beans. He was formally
presented with an enormous spoon made out
of somebody’s tin roof probably. He res-
ponded “in a few happy remarks”—-—such as
bean‘ea‘ters only are inspired with, and of
which the following is a fair specimen :—
Comrade Taylor, of Bridgeport, was pre-
sented with an immense tin spoon as a token
of his claim to the title of the champion
bean cater. The remarks made by Mr. Tay-
lor in accepting the gift, contained some
good-natured hits at Norwalk. He said:
The principal business of the place iS' hat-
ting, ' oystering, loafing, selling without a
license, making locks for jails and furnishing
prisoners for them in‘order that the security
of the locks may have a practical test. The
principal hotel fronted on seven different
streets, including an alleyway on Sunday.
Norwalk was an enterprising place, although
far behmd Meriden and Bridgeport in produ-
cing cases of small pox. A street railway
connected Norwalk with South Norwalk for
the accommodation of people who were not
in a hurry. South Norwalk had a splendid
water front, especially at the west side of the
depot after a heavy rain. Every fall a fair
takes place at Norwalk. Many who visited
it did not know that it was held for the pur-
pose of allowing three card monte men, pool
wheel proprietors and dealerszin prize pack-
ages to distribute large sums of money that
they had inherited from rich relatives,among
the needy. Norwalk was noted throughout
the land for the flavor and quality of its oys-
ters, those caught ofi? Bridgeport harbor by
N orwalk oystermen beingprated as No. 1, and
those taken off Norwalk rankingas No. 2.
Comrade Wood read a poem, and speeches
songs and stories filled up the time until the
visiting guests were obliged to depart.
m
Fred. S. Partric, who some time since left
this place to accept a position in the railroad
shops of the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy
Road, has had, we regret to learn, one of his
hands badly injured, which will render him
unfit to labor for some time. He has taken
advantage of his injury and entered the
Illinois State College, at that place, until able
to resume work.

Danbury still holds good to its claim of
“the Brits” in the matter of muddy streets,
and is in danger of losing a large portion bf
its infantile population unless they speedily
have a. spell of warm, drying weather. A
few days ago a little boy, who bravely essay-
cd to cross the street near the News office,
became completely mired when about half
wayacross, and was unable to move in either
direction. He was finally rescued by a man
who drove up to him in a wagon and pulled
him out, but his boots were left. All this
was in sight of Bailey’s front window.

Fltch’s Home for the Soldiers.
N o. 61 FIFTH Avnnnn.
Naw Yonx, March 22,
Messrs. Editors .'
Mx' DEAE Sms :—-The Legislature of Con-
necticut has g'ranted my request and the
charter of “Fitch’s Home for the Soldiers,”
at Darien, has been amended accordingly.
' By the terms of the charter as it now ex-
ists, Gen. D. N. Couch of'Norwalk, .Tal-
madge Baker also of Norwalk, and F. S.
Fitch of Darien, arc to be trustees of the
institution in place of the more numerous
body of gentlemen who have heretofore held
the office of trustees. I purpose placing in
the hands of the new trustees control and
power of disposition of most. of my real
estate in the town of Darien, and, for the
present, if permitted, to advise with them as
to the most profitable way of dealing with it
for the benefit of the Home.
Such provision has wisely been made by
the law that the little ones now in occu-
pancy of the Home will conclude there their
school year in the coming summer. There-
after the Home, I trust in improved condi-
tion, will be open, as by the original terms of
its charter was contemplated, for the soldiers
of the Republic, if any, whose needs may
entitle them to entrance, and to the orphans
of soldiers as well as to such aged and in-
firm people as shall seek its shelter. The
now trustees, with concurrence of the old,
are about to beautify and improve the place
at. once, in order that we may be ready on
the first of July ncxt‘fi receive such bene-
ficiaries as I have named.
Yours truly,
'

Hitching Posts.
The attention of the Board of Trade is
called to the lack of facilities for hitching
horses in the Borough. People from the
country complain that it is hard work to
find hitching posts here, and that often when
they hitch their horses where they suppose
no damage can be done by them a policeman
steps up and orders them away or unhitches
the horses and takes them elsewhere.
Country people are unused to such interfer-
ence, and are ten very sensitive about it.
Some of them eclare that on this account
they never come to Norwalk more than ab-
solutely necessary. While a member of the
court of burgesses Gen. Couch suggested the
erection of suitable sheds, in convenient lo-
calities, but for some reason his excellent
plan'was never carried out. This is a matter
of some consequence, and we think the
Board of Trade would do well to consider it
and thus encourage our country friends to
visit Norwalk'oftcn.
S. or T.—The following ofiicers were
elected on Friday evening last, by Concord
Division Sons of Temperance, for the en-

Mr. Faxon, of Hartford, who was recently
appointed postmaster of that city,has declined
the appointment, to accept the presidency
of a Trust company. Upon examining the
condition of the post office he is said to have
made up his mind that the salary was not
sufficient to remunerate him for his labors
and responsibilities. On Staturday Gen.
Leonard A. Dickenson’ was appointed to the
position, and will undoubtedly be glad to
accept.
The flow of gold to this country continues
whicharrived yesterday brought $1,000,000,
the Wyoming on Tuesday brought another
million, and the bank of England yesterday
parted with over $600,000 for shipment to

has been so serious that the bank has sus-
ket gold is at a premium of % of 1 per cent.

The Rev. Ralph B. ‘Hoyt closes his con-
nection with St. Paul’s parish, April 1st.
His has been a successful ministry. Son of
the eminent poet clergyman, whose name is
familiar to all, he has enjoyed advantages
such as few others ever receive, and that he
has accepted of them can be seen in his
scholarly sermons and the able manner with
which‘he handles’them. His first parish was
at Tenafly, Diocese of Northern New Jersey,
Jersey. where he remained about'six years.
During that time he raised a large sum of
money, paid the church debt and started a
mission which has since become a consecra-
ted church with a thriving parish. Of course
a man like that could not long remain hid—
den, and at the expiration of six years suc-
cessful Work he was called to a larger field in
Jersey City, Parish of Holy Trinity. Under
his rcctorship there a considerable sum of
money was raised to pay off the church debt
beside. contributing largely to the mainte-
nance of Christ Hospital and other charities.
Of his .work in this parish it is too well
known to need comment from us.

“There isa story current,” says the London
Cuckoo, "that the late Mr. Carlyle was a ter-

would come downgrumbling; and, glancing
at the well-spread board, declare the food
to be unfit for a dog. Mrs. Carlyle hereupon
would order the girl to take the despised
viands back to the kitchen. Presently, when
the philosopher was beginning to get' desper-
ately hungry, his spouse would order 'the
same dishes to be brought back, which her
husband immediately proceeded to devour
wrth infinite relish and without any more
ado. No wonder that the sage considered his
wrfe a greater women than either George
