~' ~ ' The senatorial struggle still goes bravely
A on. The past week the discussion has taken
‘- a wider and more personal range, and the
questions of southern bull—dozing, ballot.
box stuffing and defiant repudiation have
been laid so here that Southern senators
begin to quail over the ghasty record, as the
mirror is held before their eyes.' In private
conversations they are free to confess that
they have had more than enough of this sort
of discussion, and would gladly give over
the contest. But the hope that they may yet
prevent any aid and support from being
given to the Mahone element in Southern
politics and thus arrest the tide they see sc'—
ting in all through the South, threatening
the old aristocratic, bourbon rule with over—
throw, forces the “solid South" in the Senate
to continue the struggle, even to the laying
bare of their terrible records. On the othtr
hand, the Republicans receive constant as-
surances from the South that their treatment
of 'Mahone is a practical proof of thepur-
pose of the party of progress to stand by and
aid the Southern Democrats who abhor the
political murders they know and confess to
have been of frequent occurrence and who
express their detestation of the forcible
methods adoped to nullify the majority in
the Southern States. SO that the struggle in
the Senate rises far above a scramble for a
few petty offices. .It is a fight against the
same defiant spirit, which declares all over
the South that the majority shall not rule,
but that the arrogant minority shall. By
standing by Mahone and welcoming him to
Republican association there is an entering
wedge driven into the Bourbon Democracy
of the South. which is sure to split it asun—
der and bring to the front men of liberal and
progressive ideas, and thus will be brought
about, as it is confidently believed, that hap-
py day for the South when differences of
opinion may be as freely entertained and
expressed as at the North, and when a free,
unconstrained and honest vote shall be
counted just as it is cast. It is the hope of
this grand‘nd glorious result on the Repub-
lican side, and the dread of the loss of
power ,by the minority, that keeps up the
struggle. '
Thursday evening, several leading South-
ern senators, under the pressure of letters
and telegrams it is known they have received
from prominent democratic politicians all
over the country, deprecating the effect the
Senate contest is sure to have upon their
party in the fall elections—gave out that
they did not think it probable that their
side could be held together, longer than next
week. Caucus dictation may force them to
a longer sguggle, but now that it is known
that the Republicans will not surrender but
fight it out “if it takes all summer," no 'one
believes the Democrats can possibly hold on
their present untenable position longer than
the end of the month.
Brave, and honest as he is brave, Gen.
Burnside gave the key-note to the Republi-
can side of the struggle when he announced
to the Southern senators that he would sit in
his seat for the full six years of his term
before he would surrender the principle of
the right of the majority to rule. There is
no just answer Or defence possible to be made
to the proposition and position of the minori-
ty in their revolt against the rule of the
majority. Even their false pretense that
they have a right to Mahone’s vote, was
all blown to .the winds when they permitted
the committees to be re-organized without
contest.
GEN. nawnav. .
The strain upon Gen. Hawley in quietly
sitting still under the restraint of new mem-
bership and listening to the wild vaporings
of the other side,must have been very severe,
but Wednesday evening his opportunity
came, and he poured such a broadside into
their demoralized ranks as drove several into
the cloak room and extorted from Beck, Of
Kentucky, the unwilling compliment that
Hawley was the most ready and effective
orator on the Republican side. >

A CONNECTICUT MAN GEN. canrrntn INQUIRED
' ABOUT.
'When President Garfield was a representa-
tive in Congress, years back, he called in on
U. S. Treasurer Spinner one day, and said
“Gen. Spinner, do you know that in one of
the lower roorrrs of this building there is at
work an old classmate of mine? He was
wonderfully apt at college. He could beat
me at my lessons, and is quick and honest.”
“What is his name ‘2" said Gen. Spinner.
“James Gilfillan," was the reply. .
Whereupon Treasurer Spinner sent for
him, made arrangements to promote him and
advanced him rapidly.
The same James Gilfillan is today the
Treasurer of the United States, and a thor-
oughly efilcient and honest officer, as every
one knows. '
When the present Judge Loomis represent-
ed the Hartford district in Congress, Treas.
Gilfillan was publishing a spirited little
weekly and Republican paper in the con-
gressman’s own town of Rockville. He
procured for Gilfillan a $1,200 per annum
clerkship in the Treasury, and by capacity
and merit he has risen to his present high,
responsible and honorable position of Treas—
urer of the Upited States. It is thought by
some that the reason Ohio became so celebra-
ted during the last administration for her
capable sons and their ability to win and hold
high civil positions, was because of the fact
that Ohio is the daughter of Connecticut.
GEN. DAEMON.
When Gov. Bigelow was here with his
staff, inaugural week, he succeeded in
inducing the War Department to make the
bounty claims of Gen. Ferry’s old regiment,
the 5th Connecticut, spasm. This act of
justice was pressed by the Governor and
finally ecceeded to because the boys of that
regiment had been wronged in the procure.‘
ment of their bounties in consequence of an
erroneous ruling of the War Department at
the close of the war. A subsequent ruling
made in consonence with both law and com-
mon sense, granted the 5th Conn. the same
allowance of bounty given other regimen's.
But for one cause and another these claims
have dragged to the present time. The
Second Auditor is now adjusting and settling
these bounty claims in the order in which
they are received. Many have already been
paid, and the office is now at work settling
others, and Gen. Harmon, of the Governor’s
staff, is new here as agent of the state in
pressing others through to final payment. If r
thereare any of the many 5th Conn. boys
who enlisted from and about Norwalk, who
have not yet forwarded their claim for
bounty, they had better do so at once,
addressing either Gen. George M. Harmon,
New Haven, or the Second Auditor here.

Gen. Harmon,“ agent of the State, is also
t-udesvoring to recover the Revolutionary
War Muster Rolls, loaned by Connecticut to
the General Government just after the war
at 1812. By resolution of our legislature
the Governor was'inatructed to recover these
entrusted to the State Department, a nice
question of authoritative jurisdiction 'has
arisen and it is probable that Gen. Harmon
will be compelled to obtain the united action
of the President and Secretaries of State and
Interior, before he gains possession of Con-
uccticut‘s invaluable records. The General
had interviews with Secretaries Blaine and
Kirkwood yesterday, and expects to visit
President Garfieldto day in reference to the
subject. .
l’. ’l‘. BARNUM.
The (want courier-of the Greatest Show on
Earth is domiciled at the Arlington, and the
recipient of unusual attention. He was
accompanied by his bright little grandson,
Master .0. H. Seeley, and by press agent
Thomas—who is the potential motive power
which wields the levers which moves the
world. Thursday, the great showman paid
his respects to the President, and this morn-
ing the thrifty “interviewer” of the Wash—
ington Republican gives a whole column of
entertaining notes wrung from our reluctant
Mr. Barnum, the closing bon mot of which
we will append :
“I see that you called on the President to—
day," the Republican ventured. .
“Yes; I called there today. I like Mr.
Garfield and voted for him. Itold him I
was not an applicant for office, and said I
was ready to give him congratulations or
sympathy. He said he needed the latter
more than the former. Before I left I asked
him to come to the show. He said he never
missed going to Barnum’s show. The chil-
dren would go, and he would go if possible.
He would not say, however, what day he
would go.”
“Will you be here with the show '2”
“Yes; I never advertise a monstrosity
unless it appears.”
Friday morning, Admiral Dot and his still
more diminutive nephew, Atom Dot, called
on Mr. Barnum to pay their repects, and
soon the distinguished guests thronged the
parlors in a sort of impromptu levee. One
of Barnum’s happiest hits, while .here, he
got off yesterday on being presented to
GEN. MAHONE,
who had requested an introduction to the
great showman. On Virginia’s little Senator
expressing his pleasure at having the oppor-
tunity to make his acquaintance, Mr. Bar—
num with good-natured earnestness replied,
“Why, Mahone, I know you. I know all
about you and the whole nation knows all.
about you, and let me tell you if you suc-
ceed in your effort to bust up the solid South
you are destined to become the most noted
man of this generation. I've just returned
from a trip through the South and I’ll tell
you what I’d do if the country didn’t need
you just new a great deal more in the Senate.
I’d tlrribble your salary to travel with my
Greatest Show oanarth, as the first South-
ern Democratic politician that you didn’t
have to hold a lamp up to in broad daylight
before you could detect a partIcle of honesty.
I know you and I know your honesty and
daring, and may God bless and prosper you
in your fight, old fellow." This salutation
“brought down the house" as may well be
supposed.
NEW ENGLAND FACTORY HANDS.
A startling specimen of the density of the
political ignorance pervading. the democratic
mind, may be gathered from the following
statement made by old Senator Saulsbury, of
Delaware, in his Friday’s speech. He said:
“If they [New England Republican Senators] 4
turned their attention to their own factory
hands * "‘ '1‘ * * a class which 2's held
in as'abjeet slavery to-day, as the negroes of
Southern States were seer held, I think it
would be much more creditable,” etc. As
many Connecticut factory proprietors are
Democrats, and many more operatives are,
they can take whatever of comfort can be
extracted from this shameless libel upon a
very large and reputable portion of the
inhabitants of our New England towns and
cities. ,

ONE-MAN BURNED TO DEATH.
On Wednesday morning, the 6th inst.,
fire destroyed the old homestead and seven
out-buildings on Carter street, New Canaan,
belonging to the estate of the late Capt.
Stephen Hoyt, the well-known New Canaan
Nurseryman, and Thomas Gray, a young
man, aged about twenty-One years, one of
the farm laborers, was burned to death in
his bed in one of the buildings.
The buildings destroyed were all frame
buildings but one, and consisted of the large
well built family mansion, originally erected
by Stephen Fitch, father of Benjamin Fitch
of Dnrien, but bought many yew ago by the
late Capt. Stephen Hoyt, who had added all
modern improvements and conveniences and
made it a complete and most desirable home.
In the rear of this was a large two story
frame building, containing on the 1st floor,
the farm office, carriage room and work
room, with sccorid fioordivided into sleeping
rooms for the hands employed in the
nursery; the cellar extending under the
whole building was filled with plants, cut-
tings and roots, intended for the spring
planting. Then came the grainery codtaining
350 bushels of corn and 00 bushels of Silver
Hull buckwheat. In the rear end of these
and extending out one side was a henery
containing 150 fowls, 25 of which were set-
ting and were soon expected OH with their
broods. Then came the blacksmith shop,
cart shed and wood house, all fraine build-
ings, and the ice house, a concrete building,
the roof of which was'burnt off. In the
wood house were 40 cords of wood, which
had just been sawed, split and piled for use.
The loss on buildings, furniture, sheds,
tools, etc., is estimated at nearly or quite
$18,000 with an insurance of only about
$8,000. It also imposes a heavy loss on the
Messcs Hoyt Brothers as it disarranges all
their plans for this years’ work, and puts
them to a serious loss and inconvenience as
regards their entire ghusiness for the coming
year, as in the cellar of the Office building
was stored their plants, cuttings roots, etc.,
all prepared for and only awaiting a spell of
mild weather tobe set out,the ground having
been prepared and ready therefore. In fact
they would have been in the ground ere this
but for the extreme cold spell of the last few
days. In this cellar were stored 50,000
Champion Quince stocks, 40,000 Apple, 35,-
000 Grape,(7,000 Asparagus, all barrelled and
ready for shipment), Cherry and Plum Seed-
lings, Berry Plants, etc., etc.
_ There was no insurance on ice, house,
henery, cart shed, blacksmith shop or wood
house. ' '
The fire swept off all the buildings on the
south side of the carriage way leading into
the nursery grounds. ‘
The origin is somewhat mysterious, but it
is thought to have been incendiary. The
Messrs. Hoyt’s were first aroused and warned
of the fire at about one o’clock in the morn-
ing, and at that time the fire was at work
on the ofiice building. Men were immedi-
ately set at work with buckets of water, in
an endeavor to extinguish the flames, and
others were stationed at the exposed build-
ings to keep the exposed portions wet down
and prevent the fire from spreading, but al—
though all prescnt worked manfully it was
of no avail as concerned the buildings
south of the ma .1 way, for the wind blowing
fresh from the northwest carried the flames
and sparks to the homestead and'that was
soon in flames. Mr. James Hoyt was severe-
ly burned and nearly: suffocated in trying
to save the books and papers 0!" the firm,
kept in this office, but he succeeded in
saving his account and order books; the
packing book, a large quantity of printed
price lists and also circulars just ready for
sending out were destroyed. ‘
By having a plentiful supply of water and
extraordinary exertion of the men pres-
ent the fire was kept from spreading across
the drive way to the large farm barn, stables,
sheds, etc. If they could have had the help
of two or three more good men they think
the house could have been saved, but it-being
so far out from the village, and no fire
apparatus available, they could not secure
the desired _aid. They, however, did re-
markably well and may well feel gratified
in having been able to keep the fire within
the bounds they did.
In regard to the origin of the fire, as we
said before,it is wrapped in mystery. It was
at first thought to have been communicated
from one of the stoves in the lower part of
the Ofiice building, but since then some
things have transpired that throws doubt on
that theory and points towards its being the
work of an incendiary. Three'of the cm-
ployecs had been over to the village during
the evening, two of them the Gray brothers;
on their way home they stopped at the
Gray’s house and left there, so the surviving
brother states, at about 9:45 and got at the
farm at about 10:30. The Gray boys im-
mediately went in through the shop, up
stairs to bed, and everything was all right at
that time. The other man, went to an out-
house, and on going into the shop, fifteen
minutes later, says, he found the floor on fire
in the shop and tried to extinguish it, but
being unable to do so, immediately rushed
up stairs and awakened the men sleeping
there, and it was supposed that all had made
their escape, but on mastering the men after
the fire had been extinguished young Thomas
Gray was found to be missing and in the
winning his bones were found in'the cellar
of the burnt office building. His father and
the family had worked for years in -the
nursery and his and death cast a gloom over
all. The point throwing doubt on the
origin of the fire is in the statement made by
these two men who had been over to the
village. Gray stated that they left home at
quarter before ten, and it therefore could
not have been more than :half-past ten when
they went through the shop to go up stairs
and he then saw no fire or any indications of
any except in the sieve; the other man
claimed he went in fifteen minutes afterward
and found everything ablaze, and the
Messrs. Hoyt says it was one o’clock when
they were aroused; so there is a discrepancy
of some two hours according. to the state-
ments by the men. The stove is one that
has been in that same position for the last
ten years, and the man who had care of it,
says: he shut up the stove, closed dampers,
etc., as usual when he retired for the night.
The Messrs. Hoyt’s with their well known
energy and pinch had carpenters to work on
a new office long before the ruins got
through smoking, and men at work the next
.day in packing and shipping off their trees
and shrubs, and will not let the loss of stock,
heavy as it is, interfere with the successful
filling of orders.
The coroner’s jury rendered a. verdict on
the death of young Gray as follows :
“That he came to his death on the night
of April 6th, 1881, in consequence of the
conflagration of the building in which he
slept, which took fire from causes unknown
to us.”
The funeral of Thomas Gray was attended
on Sunday last, at the Catholic church.

Sons .of the Plantations to represent them-
selves; but “Callender’s Georgia Minstrels”
furnish one of the most interesting entertain-
ments given here in many a year. They are
artists in their line, and as genuine embodi-
ments of healthy fun as ever trod the stage.
From the first,the great hall has been crowded
with as many as it Could hold. They draw
thousands, and are one of the most pronounc-
ed successes of the season. Their fun is
fresh and wholesome, without being coarse,
and all find delight in their high standing Of
Minstrelsy."
A Novel Entertainment.
It is often that the above announcement is
made but seldom that it is fulfilled. ’ ‘hose
who know Mr. G. B. Bunnell, the proprietor
of the New Museum in New York corner of
Broadway and Ninth street, will be sure to
admit that he always fulfills what he prom-
ises to the public. On Friday .and Saturday
next, at Music Hall, this energetic mans-
ger wrll present some of the most at-
tractive and interesting attractions whien he
controls; There will be ladies, seven of
them, all sisters, who possess both hair and
music, in an extraordinary developement.
Savage Zulus in all the glory of their native
costumes throwing their spears the full length
of the auditorium. Till’s-royal marionettes
will exercise in the same manner as they did
at St. James Hall, London, where England’s
Queen, gave them her approbation. Miss
Kingsland- the only lady magician in the'
world, will please and mystify all. And we
might go on for a column or so enumerating
the various attractions ; the greatest wonder
of all is how Mr. Bunnell can give so much
entertainment for so small an admission fee.
The price to all is but ten cents. Excursion
parties from surrounding towns would do
well to attend the afternoon exhibitions.
Manager Knapp promises Scott-Siddons,
supported bya full dramatic company, for
the '10th inst.‘
- some suitable steamer will run until she is
.New.1’ork city, and Miss Maine A. Martin, O!
ing. and thereafter regular daily trips. All
the popular features of previous seasons will
becontinued, including cheap fares. The
New York landings will be at 33d street and
at the feet of Fulton street, and the time of
leaving the same as last year. The Ameri-
cus is having new boilers put in, and her
boiler room lined with sheet iron, rendering
herassafs, her owners think, as any iron
steamer possibly can be. If ready, the
Americus will commence the season, if not
finished.
to make the line as popular as ever.

IN MEMORIAM.
Brother Thaddeus Waterbury, a member
of Our Brothers’ Lodge, No. 10. I. 0. O. F..
died March 22, 1881.
Brother Waterbury’s death has removed
from the fellowship of this Lodge, a man
whom to know was to esteem. Nothing in
his life among us ever abated from the con-
fidence which was given to his sterling char-
acter. During the long period of his mem-
The managers evidently intend

bership he worthily exhibited in his inte.’
course with the Lodge, and the world at
large, the principles and practice of 0d,d
Fellowship.
By his death this Lodge has lost a respected
brother; the community in which he so long
resided, a valuable citizen! his large circle of
acquaintances, a true friend, and his com-
panion a loving husband.
We therefore express to his bereaved widow
and kindred our most- sincere sympathy, and
commend them to Him whose compassion
faileth not. .
By order and in behalf of the Lodge.

St. Patrick Potato.
H'IS variety, first introduced in 1819.cnd which
rs already a popular sort in this country, was
also thorough y tasted in England the past season
where it carried off the first premium at several
Agricultural shows whereit was exhibited. The
St. Patrick Potato Is a direct descendant of the
Garnet Chili and Early Rose; in appearance the
St. Patrick is undpubtcdl y one 01' the handsomcst
Potatoes grown; it has a smooth white skin. and
white flesh, few and shallow eyes ; in shape it is
rather oblong than round. and has no core, neith-
er is it hollow. ; it is it strong. hardy grower, and
from all accounts has witlrstoou the rot so preva-
lent last season better than uny_other sort. It
produces but few small tubers, rrpens medium
early, and is enormously productive and 01‘ fine
qua ‘ y. In regard to productivcncss, with ordina—
ry a land culture it should yield from 200 to 300
bushels per acre, and with extraordinary soil
and culture, 500 bushels. The originator has fre-
quently raised from B to 12 pounds per hill. but 6
pounds per in}! planted with ainglc eyes was a fair
average, attarncd by the use of fertilizers.

trade, such shingles are cut from butts, rotten
