Editorial Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. 0.. Man 7, 1881.
DEAR GAZETTE :—
«The-pressure of public sentiment, 'b‘acked
A the President
e “arm‘s wishes expressed in his letter to Mr.7
3%, Dawesmas“ induced the Republican Senators
Mg. 2:19.301” vary their programme as to agree to
go into executive sessions and confirm such__
nominations and’treaties as demanded im—
mediate attention. This action the country
will deem wise~aml approve, although it .
involves the, laying aside fur the time 9f the
vitalprinciple that the constitutional majori-
ty in that body must rule, in governing the
- Senate, as in all things else. While this
very point 0f the issue was under discussion
in tlltz‘Scnate it happened that a message was
received from the President,'and Mr. Dawes
inquired ofwhat avail is a message in wri-
ting if a Senator can get up here and threaten
that it shall never be acted upon, and shall
cii‘rry out that threat by the aid of a minority?
He characterized the opposition of Demo-
crats as revolutionary, tending to weaken and
undermine the government. It- dcvolvg
upon the Republican party to maintain Re-
publican and representative government In
this country, and the Republican party again
acceptsthat responsibility. For himself, not.
speaking for others,he declared that he would
continue to the end the contest for that reso-
lution, not for what it contained, but because
of the principle involved in it, because it was
to determine whether or not‘ the Senate
should perform its legitimate functions. Mr.
Dawes said the Republicans, while maintain-
ing the authority of the Senate, could not
omit to do its duty elsewhere. Therefore,
recognizing the necessity of this, and be-
lieving the Republicans would be strength-
ened by it, he would move that the Senate,
for a short time, address itself to other
business; never losing sight ‘of the principle
they had been fighting for, but coming back
to it. ‘In order to provide for the needs of
the government he moved to proceed to the
consideration of executive business, which
was then and has since been done, many
nominees being confirmed,and all the treaties
having been disposed of as the telegraph has
alreadyfully informed the country.
A NEW ISSUE.
In the caucus action an agreement was
reached. that all contested nominations should
be laid aside and not considered. This in
effect left its agreement-to throw over till
December Hon, Stanley Matthews and Wm.
E. Chandler, though the express purpose was
well known to be to defeat the nomination Of
Judge Ronertson, or'at least to defer it till
December. It was upon the full avowal of
this purpose that the President resolved that
all of the New Ybrk appointments, not hith-
erto confirmed, should be withdrawn until
such time‘ as RObertson’s case should be acted
upon, when he gave the friends of the other
candidates notice he should gladly return the
withdrawn nominations. This action on the
part of the President created surprise and
much excitement, but the sober second
thought justifies the worldly wisdom of his
manoeuvre. It manifestly was not fair that
all those New York nominees approved by
Mr. Conkling should be run through and
those opposed by him defeated, especially, in
face of the fact that by reason only of'ithc
Robertson bolt at Chicago was the nomina—
tion of Garfield ' rendered possible. This
speck of war at thc‘utset of his adminis
tration is to be regretted, yet if it must come
the sooner the 1' better, so that it may the
sooner be thrust aside and its wounds healed.
It is believed that Robertson canmnd will be
confirmed by: a close vote, although Mr.
Conkling will now feel justified in using all
the means in his power to prevent it. The
The brainy W. E. Chandler has a still more
desperate chance it is thought, becaus‘e he is
so cordially hated by the Democrats of the
Senate on account of his uncompromising
and admit and able Republicanism. '
Tun GARFIELD-mam LETTER.
The President’s attention having been
called to the letter alleged to have been writ-
ten by him to Hon. J. A. Hubbell, from
Mentor, August 23, 1880, in which he says :'
“Please say to Brady that I hope he will
give us all the assistance possible,” stated
that there was not a line in the letter that he
would have the slightest objection to giving
to the public; that the star route contractors
were neither mentioned nor thought of; that
it was simply the expression of a hope that
Brady, a citizen of Indiana, who was report-
ed to have made an immense fortune in "Bell
Telephone stock," would respond from his.
ample means in aid of his party in the life
and death struggle then going on in his own
state.
The star route parties are evidently much
disappointed by the manner in which this
letter is received by the public. They had
expected it would have caused much dis-
quietude at the White House and produced a
. general :sensation,whe‘reas it has fallen flat
and not produced even a ripple of surprise
or regret in any quarter. An explanation
given by a Chicago paper and emanating as
is supposed from Chairman Hubbell, is to
theéfiédtithat during the. Presidential cam-
paign", Brady,r.vh‘o had become Ostentationsly
rich through telephone stock operations, as
wagifdldi‘n‘l‘ednhy. higls'clf and friends, was
solicited to invite contributions from his
friends in, the :Rspublican National Commit-
tee funds, and that he consented provided
Mr. Hubbell would first secure a letter from
ourpre'sidential candidate “requesting him
so to do." It was in response to a letter from
Hubbell to Garfield explaining Brady's de-.
sires in. the ,matter,'that Garfield wrote the’
note which was expected to prove‘ such. a
telfible bomb, but which in the mind of rib
honorable person compromises in the least ‘
the President or any one else, save Brady,
whose “hedging” motive was on the alert, it
seems, even then.
'It is well said, that the fact that' within a
month, of his inauguration as President he
discharged Brady and put the whole gang on
. trial, despite all their threats, is proof posi—
tive that they had no hold 11 n him or
powenpver him,.and that he was ready to
act decisively in exposing and stopping the
plundering operations without the slightest
'regar'd‘tb’the question who might be affected
by the disclosures.

Tfiui‘s'da'y “afternoon err-Senator~ Dorsey,
with Co]. Bob Ingersoll as his attorney, call-l
ed“6n the" Postmaster-General, to arrange, if
possijhlgpnnjmmediate investigation of the
stung-outc‘contracts in which the ex—Senator
is alleged 'to have an interest. It so happen-
ed that when they called Attorney General
MacVeagh was closeted with the Postmaster
General. 00]. Ingersoll made the request.
Mtg,- mees' left the matter with the Attorney
General, who said both the Post Ofiice De-
partment and theDepartment of Justice were
co-operatlng to investigate all the star route
contracts, and‘to grant the request‘would
only impede the inquiry. The request,therc-
fore, was deglined. _
Aim-'5 "THE JULY INTEREST.
The Treasury Department is anticipating
the interest to July 1st on all six per cent.
bonds received for conversion into three and
a' half per cents. The interest thus paid to
date aggregates over a half million dollars,
and about tenmillions have been disbursed
the past week in redemption of bonds sent
in under the 101st call.

Ex-Congressman Kellogg achieved a pro-
fessional triumph here the past week, seldom
won by even the luckiest lawyers. It is
known that as attorney for the National Knit
Goods Association, Mr. Kellogg had applied
to the Treasury to have their ruling (based
upon the recent U. S. Supreme Court de-
cision in, regard to woven worsted goods)
re-called in so far as it related. to knit goods,
as under customs exactions, it closed up
every manufaetory of those latter goods in
America. The Treasury did not see its way
clear to do this in face of the court ruling
and referred Mr. Kellogg to the Attorney-
General and with the expressed hope that a
way out of the difilculty might be found, as
the public revenues were likely to be most
seriously curtailed, also. The Attorney-
Gencral after an examination of the case
and the courts’ decree, concluded that an act
of Congress would be required to set the
matter right. There could be no Congress-
ional action before next winter, meantime,
this great industry, amounting to more than
$25,000,000 in Connecticut and New Eng-
land alone, and employing many thousand
‘Operatives. must close their mills. The
gravity of' the situation, and having the
hearty concurrence of the Treasury and
Attorny-General Departments, Mr. Kellogg
luckily thought of the expedient of appealing
directly to the Superior Court in session and
pleading fora re-hearing in the case.He made
it appear so palpably that the case decided
by the court had never been properly pre-
sented, that Kellogg’s petition was at once
granted, and a recall of their decree ordered,
upon which the Treasury immediately re-
called its restrictive circular to the Custom
Houses, and the knit goods people can go on
just the same as before {involved in the tarifl
trouble. The Knit Goods Committee here,
went home delighted at the result of Kel-
logg's‘ extraordinary success and good
fortune. The Treasury Department and
others well posted, fully believe Kellogg will
be able to so thoroughly satisfy the m'inds
of the supreme court judges that an error was
committed, detrimental alike to the govern-
ment revenues and its citizens, in their late
decision, that they.will without hesitation
reverse the same-.at their next" sitting in
October next. The result thus far attain
was every remarkable piece Of work and has
crowned err-Congressman. Kellogg with the
brightest laurels he has ever won as a most
sagacious. dilligent and pains taking attorn

To Sabbath-keeping New England people
a very unpleasant feature of “The Brighton

open ’on Sundays. ‘ We presume that the
Point has really been kept open on Sundays
always heretofore, in a quiet sort of way,
but under the new management it will prob-
ably attract more people on that day than
ever before—in fact will be very like similar
popular sea-side resorts in the vicinity of

floor being comfortably filled, and continued
until the Small hours of the morning. The

One of the petty annoyances which tries
the temper of housekeepers is‘ the frequent
ringing of the front door hell by urchins
circulating quack medicine almanacs, show
bills, or wanting to sell newapaper, etc.
These, added to peddlers,,and others who
have 'no right to a moment of your time and
who, are, seeking to benefit themselves ex—
clusively, keep up a din from morning ‘till
night, compelling some one to run to the.
door constantly. Can nothing be done to
abate the nuisance P ~

The steamboat.
On her trip up Saturday, the Adelphi had a
“series of mishaps. Of the first the New
York Time of. Sunday says:
The .eteemsr Adelphi, of the Norwalk line,
leaves Pier No. 22 East River, daily, at 2:45
o’clock p. in. As she was about to depart
yesterday, two schooners were lying at the
end of Pier No. 23, and the tug Mary Clinton
was fast to a bark at Pier No 24. Both the
schooner and the tug were projecting into
the stream beyond the pier lines. As the
Adelphi steamed into the stream, the tide
was at the flood. The strong current forced
her toward the shbre, in. a direct line with
the schooner Vanila and the tug May Clinton.
Seeing those vessels imperilled, the pilot of
the Adelphi endeavored to turn her out of
the way, and finally stopped her machinery
altogether in his attempt to avoid a collision.
The tide was too strong, and she was carried
against the Vanilla, carrying away the latter’s
flying jibboom. She then crashed into the
tug-boat. The force of the collision stove in
the side-house of the tug and damaged some
of the machinery. Part of the forward
railing of the Adelphi was wrecked. The
Adel phi continued her journey .to Norwalk.
—N. Y. Times, Sumlay. .
Arrivingin our ' harbor the boat suddenly
careened to one side, giving some of the
passengers'an impression that she had struck
upon White Rock. She righted at once,
however, and we understand, reached her
wharf in good time, and returned to New
York as usual Saturday night. , H

The Housatonic Road have finally bought
what has been known as the BrookfieldBranch
for something like $80,000. It extends from
Brookfield to Danbury, and was originally 5
portion Of a line intended to run from White
Plains; N. Y., to Brookfield, Conn; it was to
have connections with New York city and
the West. It is thought by some that it will
yet be built and run by the Boston and
Albany, and HousatOnic, and thus make an-
other through route to Booton.

The entertainment given under the auspi.
cos of Concord Division, last Wednesday
evening, passed Off .very pleasantly. The

ford and musical selections by Miss Carter,

in Nerwalk, June 8d, 1790, anddied'iu‘New
York, Dec. 25. 1822. He was of an old
Norwalk family. In DhHall’s. History of
Norwalk it is recorded, page 206, “Samuel
Grumman, State of Fairfield, took‘towifo
Rebecca Betta, daughter Of Mr. Daniel Belts
Of Norwalk, Jan. 10, 1821.2.” They had a
son Samuel, who was one of‘an important
committee, with Dr. Thaddeus Bette, Mr.

to draw up instructions to Capt. JObn Can-
;non, Thomas Fitch, and Capt. Benjamin:
Isaacs, chosen delegates, Aug..20, 1770, to
attend the general meeting in New Haven
(p'127)‘ o
Sam'l Edwin Grumun was the nephew of
Sarah and Betsy Gruman, who are remem-
bered by many asliving in an old Museum the
Green, where now stands the First Baptist
church and the residence of F. Belden, Esq.
They were received into the Congregational
church on confession, April 2d, 1807. Sarah
died Feb. 1839, at the age' of 82, and Betty
was burned to death, in her house, Oct. 25th.
in the same year, at the age of 81.
Mrs. Maria Cholwell Gruman was the
mother of Catharine E., wife of F. Belden, .
Esq., who died, April 28, 1804; of Samuel
C. J. Gruman, who survives. She was re-.
ceived into the First Congregational church,
with her daughter, on confession, May 3,

Spring Parade.
The soldiers had a pleasant day for their
annual muster, on Thursday last. Compa—’
nies D and F turned out fol target practice
in the morning,the ranges being 100, 200 and
300‘ yards. In Go. D, (Burnside Guards),
Corporal D. E. Godfrey made the . best score
at 100 yards, Sergeant Elwood at 200 yards,
and Sergeant Kline at the longest range. In
CO. F, Musician Bassett made the best score
at 100 yards, Capt. Betta at 200 yards, an
private Cornell at 300 yards. ‘
In the afternoon both companies assembled
on Union Park, where they were formally
inspected by Major McCrea of the First U.
S. Artillery, stationed at Fort Trumbull,
New London. 001. Crofut and several offi-
cers of his staff were also present. After
the inspection the two companies united in
Battalion drill under command 'of Major
Crowe. Shortly after 5 o‘clock, the Stam-
ford company, which had been inspected in
the morning, arrived on the ground and
joined in the drill, At the dress parade
which follOwed, the drum corps were massed
and each command was divided into two,
making six companies altogether. After
dress parade the six companies marched
down West avenue, company front, making
quite a fine appearance. . '

The Borough Scales have been placed in
position and are apparently ready for use.
The Burgesses, however, have-failed to pass
any law in relation totheir use, and it begins
to be evident that the original intention of
forcing cerrtain dealérs to use them will
not be carried out.-‘To single but certain
dealers and say that they shall weigh the
articles which they sell on these scales is a
direct imputation upon their honesty, es—
peciaily as their scales have been officially
sealed. As a charge would be made for,
weighing, also, it would force them to charge
more for their articles than Eitydealers, and
here comes in the question whether our bor-.
ough officials can make city dealers weigh
goods on the borough scales which they de-
liver -in borough limits? There are several
interesting points to be considered and de-
termined by the board before the scales can
be generally used:
an
Burglary at Stamford.
A burglar entered the clothing store of
night, and made up a package, of about $400
worth Of goods, and donning an entire new
suit proceeded with his bundle to the depot
where he was discovered by the watchman
just as he forced an entrance into-a freight
car; not daring to close the car door and thus
caging him through fear of hissetting the car
on fire, the watchman drew his revolver, but
it missed fire, and thefellow jumped and ran
hotly pursued by the watchman and an as-
sistant. Finding they were gaining on him,
he stopped and deliberately stoned them back
to the depot and then disappeared. On
Sunday night he was again seen around the
cars, again chased and again got away. A
good showing] for the officials. The firm
recovered all of their goods, we understand,
except the suit which the fellow wore off.

Ba‘so Ball.
On Saturday, Prof. Johnson's boys sent
their first. nine to Stamford to play the first
nine of the Betts’ Military Institute. A num-
ber of the young lady members (if-the school
also went» to Stamford as spectators. The
game was- decidedly one-sided, the score
standing 23 to 0 in favor of Norwalk at the
,end of the third inning. Oneof the Norwalk
boys then batted the ball completely out of
its cover,and a softball had to be substituted,
which moderated the batting. The game at
the end of the ninth innings stood: Norwalk

To match this beautiful "vehicle Mr. Benn
has had constructed a set of “English" har-
ness, very similar to that owned by Wm. H.
Earle, Esq., ,which has recently attracted so
much attention on our streets. The harness
was made by Mr. Buckingham, Main street,
and it certainly reflects .much credit upon
his' taste and skill. ~With 1| pair of fine
horses, the establishment will make an ap-

‘ A lady- only twenty-four years of age died
in New York city, last Tuesday from lead
poisoning, the effect of the excessive use of
cosmetics containing white lead. Her phy-
sician says :—
‘t‘Lead-poisoning occurs more frequently
than is generally thought. The public rarely
hears of such cases. It is only once in a
awhile that c‘a’ses'likc that of Miss Blanchard
attract the attention of the public outside of
the medical profession. The use of any
kind of cosmetic, even if not habitually
indulged in, is attended with danger. There
are very few, if any, that do not contain
white lead. This poison is used in the
manufacture of face powders, face washes
and hair dye. Minute particles enter the
skin and are taken up by the blood and
communicated to the system. , It produces
various effects. Paralysis, colic, prostration
of the nervous system and insanity are among
.. the most frequent results of its introduction
into the system. A very distressing case
came under my notice a few years ago in the
wife of the Governor of one of the Western
States. She had been in the habit of using
a certain, hair dye—I forget the name at the
present moment—which contained white
lead in large proportion. She became hope-
lessly insane, and death ensued finally. An-
other case was that of a young lady who used
a so-called iBloom of Youth. In this case
paralysis preceded death.”

Rev. W. H. Simonson, the new pastor of
the North Methodist church, returned from
New York On Saturday and occupied the
gulpit Sunday morning and evening. Mr.
imonsonhas-the reputationof being an ex:-
cellent preacher, and his sermons Sunday
were much liked by the large congregations
which heard him. It is no small compliment
to _a Methodist minister who has been a
member of the conference nearly twenty years
to say of him that he has always stayed his
three years at each appointment. This has
been the case with Mr. Simonson, and at one
society, the Norwalk first church, he has
served the second full term of three years.
His appointments have been James church,
Brooklyn, Norwalk First church, West Win-
sted, Flushing,Norwalk First churcb,Brook-
lyn and Grecnpoint Tabernacle. Mr. Simon-
son was cordially greet in his new appoint-
ment, Sunday, and a' pleasant and prosperous
year is anticipated both bypastor and people.

Discoveries in Egypt.
A New York Telegram dispatch from Cairo
says: M. Maspero has just opened some
more, pyramids at ,Sakkara, enclosing the
tombs of kings of the fifth dynasty. The
mortuary chapels '_' of, each contain about,
eighty square metres , of the smallest and
most closely written texts, giving precise de-
tails of the religious belief of that age. It is
a complete coup de grace to Osiris. The Ma-
sonic theory and all previous conceptions are
entirely upset. , Except the finding of: the
Rosetta stone in 1799 no discovery in Egypt
equals this in scientific value. The entrance
passage is difficult and dangerous on account
of the loose rocks that encumber it. An
Amprican Egyptologist and your correspond-
ent were the only persons allowed to visitthe
interior with Maspero. The latter explorer
returns to Paris next month and will publish
the discovered texts. All the Sakkara pyra-
mids, about sixty in number, will be opened
as soon as possible.
