WASHINGTON, D. 0.. May 14, 1881.
DEAR Gaznrrs :—
The effort to promote harmony between
the President and Senator Conkling seems to
have been the chief end and aim of Republi-
can Senators the past week. It is certain
that this laudable purpose has been indulged
to a very considerable but thus far unsuc-
ccssful extent. Various projects and expedi-
cnts have been brought to the attention of
the P.~e:ident and urged upon Senator,C., but
~neither has been able to see their way out of
their positions without still deeper and more
' serious complications. At the caucus held
yesterday it was made evident that Senator
C. was in a hopeless minority in his own
party in his antagonism to Mr. Robertson,
and this fact may make him more willing
to listen t) his own fricuds’ projects of com-
promise. But Senator ,Conkling has very
little of the compromising element in his
nature, and it is believed will go down with
all his sails set and flags unfurled. 0n the
part of the President it can most truthfully
be said he had no other motive than to secure
the ultimate accord of the two discordant
Wigs of the Republican party in the State
of New York in his nomination of Judge
Robertson. Those who know the Judge the
best also afiirm that if any man could bring
about such a wished for result he is that man
above all others. .
Judge Stanley Matthews was confirmed b
a majority of one, Thursday evening, but it
is claimed would get two or three more votes
more were a reconsideration attempted. He
will no doubt take his seat among the Asso-
ciate Justices Of the Supreme Beuch at their
next court sitting in October.
A large number of minor nominations have
been acted on in their respective committees
and most of them reported favorably and
been confirmed by the Senate. The nomina-
tion of W. E.’ Chandler still hangs fire in
committee and it is feared by his friends that
he will fall of confirmation for the reason
that the democrats are opposing him on-
purcly party grounds. It is claimed his de-
feat here ensures his election to the Senate
from New Hampshire two years hence, so
the failure tO confirm him, if it has that
result, will add immensely to the brain
power of the Granite State’s representation
in the Senate, whatever may be the present
disappointment to Chandler. -
MRS. GARFIELD ILL.
The wife of the President has beenlso se-
riously ill the past week that her physician
advises the family’s immediate removal from
the White House. Next week, therefore,
the Presidential family will move to the Sol-
.dicrs’ Home, to remain there until the warm
season is over. The sewer gases in the
White House which, are forced through
the stationary washstands, physicians. say,
make it a very unhealthy place of residence.
To~dny Mrs. Garfield, who is still down'with
malaria, is better. ; _ »
DECLINES.
The President, through the Secretary of
the Navy, invited Yale’s venerable ex-Presi:
dent, Theodore D. Woolsey, L. L. D., to be
a member of the Board of Visitors at the '
Naval Academy. In his reply he declined
on account of illness.
. ADVICE TO THE PRESIDENT.
The President is in receipt of dispatches
from his friends in different sections of the
country advising him not to withdraw the
nomination of Judge Robertson. .
GOING WEST. '
Secretary Lincoln, Adjutant General Drum
and Colonel Barr will leave here early next
‘wcck for Leavenworth, Kan., where they
will inspect the military prison. They will
be absent from Washington about ten days.
Gen. McDowell, commanding the militai'y
division of the Pacific, will meet, them at
Leavenworth on the 20 inst.
-A CELESTIAL PETITION.
A novel petition has been received at the
Post Office Department._ It is a protest
signed in Chinese characters by seventy Chi-
nese, residents of Chipper Mills, Butte Co,
California, against the removal and change
of the name of their post oflice to Wood—
vlllc, Yuba Co., California. .- .
, STAR ROUTES DISCONTINUED.
Asa result of the investigationinto the
mail service in the-southwest, the Postmaster
General has ordered the discontinuance of a
large number of steamboat routes, which
will result in an annual saving to the govern-
ment of $75,000. = .
CENSUS OF THE PRESS. ,
The census office has issued a preliminary
exhibit of the statistics of the daily press of '
the United States. The total number of
daily journals in the country during the cen-
sus year is placed at 962, which includes 80
dailies which were suspended and 114 which
were established in the course Of that year.
The aggregate daily circulation is placed at
3,581,187, and the aggregate annual circula—
tion at 1,127,337,355. With an aggregate
daily circulation of 3,581,187, at an average
price per annum of $7.33, it appears the
people of the United States pay out annually
the sum of $26,250,200 for their daily neWs-
papers. New Yerk‘ State takes the lead is
publishing the largest number of dailies,115;
Pennsylvania uext,- with 98; Illinois, 73;
Ohio and California,each 54; Missouri, 42;
Indiana, 40; Massachusetts, 35; Michigan,
33; Iowa and Texas, 32 each; New Jersey,
27; Virginia and Wisconsin,21 each; Colora-
do, 20 ;, Kansas, 19; Connecticut, 17; Geor-
gia, 16; Maryland, Nevada and Nebraska, 14

Kentucky, Louisiana and Maine, 11 each;
Minnesota, 10; Arkansas and Oregon, ‘7 each;
Alabama and Rhode Island,6 each; Dela-
ware, Mississippi, South Caroliua and Ver-
mont, 5 each ; Florida and West Virginia, 3
each, and 41 in the Territories and District
of Columbia. ,
ADJOURNMENT.
It is now generally believed that the Senate
willbc able to adjourn by the last of next
week. It adjourned over yesterday, after a
very brief session, till Monday. “
PERSONAL.
The annual address at the commencement
exercises of Kenyon College, Ohio, this year
announced to be delivered by Secretary
Blaine. A cousin of President Garfield is one
the young lady teachers at a school in
Dunkirk, N. Y. ,
E. Blackman, formerly of Norwalk, has
just had an interest in I. M. Rose’s patent
percussion lamp-light, assigned‘fo him at the
Patent Office. It is a novel and valuable
device. ‘
There is quite a lively row going on at the
Post OffiOe Department again, over the
Westport post office. Mr. Belden, a son of
H. H. Belden, Esq, has been quite influen-
tially recommended for postmaster, and he
is antagonized by many leading republicans
of Westport, by the president of the late
Garfield and Arthur Club, and Mr. Salmons,
the Republican Town Committccman. The
protest of Mr. Salmons is endorsed by Sen-
ator Hewley. No action will be taken in the
matter without the recommendation of 'Rep-
resentative Miles, as .it is recognized at the
Post Ofiicc Department to be within his 0111.
cial bailwick, and no one else has the power
influence needful to change the office.
A few evenings since, on visiting the an-
cient Rock Creek Church, (which was or-
ganized some two hundred years ago and
the bricks of which it is built were brought
from England), your correspondent’s eye
caught the following inscription, on a marble
stone, just in the rear of the church:
BREV’T. MAJ. GEN. WM. scOTT KETCHUM,
born at
NORWALK, CONN., JUL! 7, 1813.
died at
BALTIMORE MD., JUNE 21, 1871.
This is the General Ketchum who was sup
pOsed to have been poisoned by his boarding
house mistress, who administered tartar
emetic to him in his drink and food, and
whose long trial on the charge of murder,
will be recalled. As a nativebf- Norwalk,
the General must have been rememberd by
many of our older town people.
E. N. Gibbs of Norwich, is in town.
The thermometer registered 90° in the
shade at 9 a. m. yesterday‘ and the whole
week has been intolerably hot.
Ex-Senator Wm. H. Barnum of Connecti-
.cut,, J usticc Stanley Matthews of Ohio, and
Judge A. W. Tourgee Of North Carolinn,were
in town Yesterday.
Of the eight men who ran on the four
Presidential tickets of 1860 only one is alive
today—Hannibal Hamlin. .
Sir Edward Thornton has unofficially c )m
municared to the Secretary of State and to
his colleagues 'of the diplomatic corps the
fact that be has accepted the tender Of the
British embassy to Russia. He has not yet
been advised-when he will be expected to
take his departure for his new post, 8nd his
formal leave taking of the President will be
postponed until that time.
Capt. C. E. Henry, of Bainbridge, Geauga
County., nominated as marshall of the Dis-
trict, is an ,intimate personal friend of the
President. They were boys together in
Ohio, living in adjoining counties, and kept
company all the time. They were together
at Hiram Institute, the President as principal
and Capt. Henry as student. At the break-
ing out of the ’ war, the college principal
became colonel of the 42d Ohio regiment,
and selected Capt. Henry as his adjutant.
After the war Capt; Henry was appointed
special officer of the Post Office Department
through the influence of Gen. Garfield, and
now retains that ofi‘lce with headquarters at
Cleveland, 0. He is expected here in a few
days.
Secretary Blaine has purchased fifty-five
acres of coal land in Washington county,Pa ,
at $90 an acre, He already owns,large coal
tracts in the same county.
Minister White, it is said, intends resign-
ing and coming away from Berlin in August.
It is on dit that‘ Gen. Lew. Wallace is to
be sent in next week as Minister to Turkey.
Senator Edmunds left for his home in Ver-
mont last night and will not return till De-
cember. . - '
To-night it is claimed that the controversy
over the Robertson nomination is virtually
settled. NO more suggestions of compromise
are to be made, and the Republican senators
generally say Robertson will be confirmed
next week. .
As to the confirmation of W. E. Chandler
it cannot be ascertained that a Single demo-
rat will vote for him, and it is known four
Republicans, at least, will vote against him;
Chandler has been urged by his friends to
have the President withdraw his name. This
he will not consent to. '
The committees of the Grand Army of
the Republic are actively engaged in making
the necessary preparations for the ceremonies
on Decoration Day—Monday, 30th inst.
Col. John T. Wait, the indefatigable Con-
gressman from the 3d District, reached here
this morning to attend to the interests of his
constituents. It" is rumored he also has a
post Office-row on his hands at Niantic.
The weather the'past week has been terri-
‘bly hot, and yesterday. was the hottest day
in May of any year since 1868.
As evc‘r,‘ ' B.

WASHINGTON, D. C , May 16, 1881.
On the opening of the Senate tc-day, Sen-
ators Conkliug and Plait both resigned and
departed. B. I

All Old soldiers, sailors, and Others inte-
rested in the proper Observance of Decoration
Day, are invited to meet at the Headquartcr’s

Mr1 J amcs Golden has retired from the edi-
torial management of the Sentinel and with-
drawn from the firm of Golden Brothers, of
which firm he was senior partner. He goes
to Lee, Mass. up the Housatonic Railroad,
where, it is understood, he will conduct the
Valley Gleaner. He is to form a. new part-
nership with some one even “closer than a
brother.” May happiness and prosperity
attend them. '
Excursion Decoration Day.
By an arrangement made' between Supt.
Sandiforth of the Danbury & Norwalk Rail-
road and Com. Perkins, General Manager
for the steamboat, great inducements are
held out to the people of Danbury and the
line of the Danbury railroad to make an
excursion to New York Memorial Day, May
30th, to witness or participate in the core—
monies of that day in the city, which are to
be extensive. The fair from Dnnbury and
Bethel is to be but one dollar and twenty-
~ five cents, to go and returu,—less than one
cent per mile by rail and steamboat.
BRIDGES—The bridge committee have
concluded to replace the rotten bridge over
the canal at Brady’s crossing, with a bridge
constructed of iron girders and plank, thus
making the entire bridge of one character.
The girders will be so laid as to make the
bridge some seven feet wider at this end
than before. Mr. D. Mi Plait has been
awarded the contract for building the same.
The iron work for the new bridge over the
river at that point arrived at South Norwalk
last Friday, and the work of putting the
'bridge in position will commence at once.
The new steamboat landing in New York,
foot of 31st street, is on one of the widest
and best wharves on the East River, but so
far there is no protection from the hot sun,
and passengers who had to visit there during
the heated wave last week, really melted.
We are informed, however, that a building
is to be erected there for the special accom:
modation of passengers Of the various
steamboat lines using the wharf. The
structure will not be a mere shed, as on 33d
street pier, but a comfortable building with
windows, etc. We can ~Only hope that its
construction will be pushed rapidly to com-
pletion.
The Adelphi now reaches her first landing
in New York about 10:30 a. m,, making the
trip in from two hours and a half to Atwo
hours and forty minutes. Her machinery is
so nicely adjusted, and she runs so easily
and quietly that she does not seem to he go-
ing at all fast. She is now probably the
swiftcst boat on the Sound.

The funeral of one of our oldest colored
citizens, familiarly known as “Clarkic.”
drew quite a large congregati on to the First
Church on Sunday afternoon at four o’clock.
It was pleasant to See so goodly and credit-
able a gathering of those of his own race,
while a large number of whites shOwed their
respect for the dead and the occasion. All
the appointments of. the funeral Were very
respectable.

Thc City authorities ought to adopt some
high-sounding, grandiloquent name for that
mud hole which cools and flavors the at-
mosphere in front of the big injun hotel, the
railroad depot and Uncle Sam’s post-office.
Ifs appearance might be greatly improved by
the introduction of a Scow or two and a few
» ducks. But, seriously, what is the Wash—
ington street sewer good for if it cannot be
made to drain Railroad Square ?

There is nothing mean about the average

the same time in a Golden-Crows.

Clark Lockwood, familiarily known as
“Clarkie,” died last Thursday night and was
buried on Sunday. He was probably at least
75 years of age,.and was known to all of our
elder residents.
hood days by the Lockwood family, and took
their name. For many years he was sexton
and bell ringer for the First Congregational
Society, but of late years has been lame and
feeble. He was a poor colored man but rich
in gentle nature and kindly disposition, mak-
ing friends’of everybody.
Man Killed.
On Saturday afternoon last at about 6%
o'clock, Martin Lawlor, who kept a small
store on W ater street, went out into the mid-
dle of the street to speak to a man; after
finishing his errand he turned to go back to
the walk, when just as he turned 'a double
team belonging to Mr. John Gregory, of
Weston, came trotting up the street and the
wagon pole striking Mr. Lawlor on the side
of the neck knocked him down, when one
of the horses stepped on him before they
could be brought to a stand still. Mr. Law-
lor was taken up, carried into his house and
and a physician sent for, who did what he
could for him, but he died at about 12%
oclock. -We do not bear that any blame
attaches to Mr. Gregory, but we do know
that there is a great deal of careless and rep.
rehensibly fast driving indulged in on our
streets, in violation of our by-laws, that
ought to have a stop put to. We t find
as any official examination has been made,or
is to be made, regarding Mr. Lawlor's death,
but think that it ought to be the subjectof
one by either the Town or Borough authori-
tics. It don’t seem exactly right that a man
can be run over and killed on our public
streets and no enquiry made as to who was
to blame, by our legally Constituted conser-
vators of public health and safety. Happen-
ing on our Borough streets we should deem
it the duty of our Borough authorities to in-
vestigate. Mr. Lawlor was 52 years of age
and leaves a wife and three children.
Mr. Gregory was in town all day yester-
day, wc are informed,-seeking an investiga-
tion of the matter, but failed to find an of-
ficial who would order an inquest or court of
inquiry. We presume the reason is because
the sad affair is generally looked upon as
purely accidental.
Mrs. Lewis Richards died at South Nor-
walk, on Tuesday last, at the advanced age
of seventy-seven years She was a woman
highly esteemed and respected.‘ Her funeral
was attended on Friday last.
Senator Conkling is reported to have said
awhile ago, while referring to his course in
the Robertson nomination, that it was either
suicide or murder with him, and now, after
having failed in his technical» attempt at
murder he seems to have deliberatley com.
mitted suicide and unfortunately drags down
his colleague with him.
One of the new subscribers of the Tele-
phone had urgent use for it Sunday evening,
to quiet a rumpus in his East avenue resi-
dence, caused by a beilicose Milesia n damsel
’who had been ofiiciating for awhile as cook. '
taking offense at a fellow servant’s flbeau,
attacked him with whatever came handy
and made fearful havoc with crockery and
glass-ware. Dr. Brush was immediatly tele-
phoned to for a policeman, and he soon had
Ofiicer DeForcst on route for the scene ,of
the disturbance, which he reached in four-
teen minutes after the call had been made
on the Doctor. 'DeForest not being able to
handle her alone, other assistance was
telephoned for, and, as she laid down flat
and refused to move it finally took a force of
four men to transport her to the lock-up.
Yesterday morning she was taken before
Justice Mead, who, on her promising to
depa'rt for New York and never again visit
Norwalk, made the fine as low as possible,
which after demurringjto for ahwile she paid
and departed, bewailing the strange laws we
had here in Connecticut.

Public Schools; its proper place and
methods.” Prof. Worman.
He was cared for in child— .
them for their making'sevcral such trips dur-
ing the season. As a means of recuperating
and even of keeping good health, it is in our
opinion, one of the cheapest and best to
which the vast multitude have ready access.
For a day’s healthful and pleasant relaxation
from business, or of recreation with ones own
family, a trip by steamboat to New York,
thence a few hours in Central Park and back
home at night, by boat, is ahead of anything
that can be obtained anywhere around for
the small expense it involves lut, our
merchants generally and more especially our
dry goods men complain that the boat kills
business here in the summer. as everybody
owing to cheap fares, rush to the city and
spend their money there for goods that could
be bought just as cheaply at home. We
think, there is perhaps luqch reason and
truth in their complaints, and think that if
our people when going down on a shopping
trip. would first post themselves on home
prices they would buy far 1183 in the city
and make their trips of mo‘rc real pleasure
by simplymaking calls,‘or leisurely strolling
around to objects of interest, instead of over-
heating themselves by hurrying from one
store to another after bargains that they
could just as readily obtain at home. For
instance we have heard of several cases lately,
in one of which a party went down and
bought quite a large bill of carpets, and a
few days after their return having by chance
looked at one of our carpet dealers stocks,
freely confessed that our Norwalk dealers
really carried a large and fine stock. An-
other party having heard much of the cheap-
ness of such things in the city made a tour
of some of the principal stores and found
that the best grades of Brussels and Ingrains
were no cheaper than the same grades were
sold here in Norwalk, in fact at one large
house, they found a pattern identical with
one they had seen home, but it was five cents
a yard more in the city than in the Norwalk.
store. You can probably buy your carpets
just,as cheap here with Messrs. VanHoosear 85
Amblers, Scofield do Hoyt, or A. Dickermnn
& Son, as you can, the same quality, at any
city store. The prices in the city appeared
to be uniform and wherenot any lower than
found here at home. Again. we repeat, by
all means take as many trips by boat for the
sake of health- as possible, but if you go for
trade get well posted first with home prices
and quality.
Conkling cannot Rule and the American
people will see that he does not ruin the
country.
Weddings.
Cards of invitation are out for the wed-
ding Of Miss Frances E. Terrell and Mr. 13.
Frank Coburn. The ceremony is to take
place at St. Paul’s church, Wednesday
afternoon, 18th inst., at 3 o'clock. ‘ ’
Mr. James Golden, late editor of the
Sentinel, is to be married on Thursday even-
ing, to Miss Emma Louise, daughter of
Major J. C. Crowe, city.
Mr. George Lockwood and Miss Ella
Squires are to be married this evening.
_ On Tuesday last there was a “church
wedding" at Trinity church, city, the con-
tracting parties being Miss Helen M., daugh-
ter of C. W. Tufts, Esq, and Mr. M. B.
White, of Albany, New York. Rev. Dr.

AGood Thing.
The worthy mayor of the City of South
Norwalk has greatly favored the public by
detailing a policeman at the Steamboat
landing to relieve the passage way from the
boat ‘Ofi the dock, owing to the people
crowding up to the gang plank so that the
passengers had great difiiculty getting off
the dock and sometimes the boat. It cer—
tainly is a great benefit to the traveling
public and should have been done before,
but many thanks will be heaped upon the
head of his honor Mayor Adams, for his
timely rescue. Warm weather is fast
approaching and the number by the boat
increasing so that a good thing is done none
to' soon .
m
Now Conkling and Plath will fight to be
returned. It is their little game.

with reasonable success,to avoid second place
in the race to material prosperity. Let the
response to the promoters of our Library Fair
be such as to demonstrate the impossibility
of establishing a better library in any other
part of the town.—Lz‘brary Fair Bulletin.
Well, go right ahead and do it. We are
modest people here, and while we desire a
reasonably large and well-selected library for
our own use, we shall not feel bad if you can
secure a better one. The result of your Fair
will show that your despised neighbors as
usual have rendered you great assistance in
your efforts to obtain first place. Again, go
ahead and get a good library, but don’t dis—
courage your neighbors. _ ‘
