'Wasumo'rorz J une 11, 1881.
_ Dam Galina :—
The notable speeches, made by ‘the two
’ more'honble Sherman brothers, the present
week,-—thc one by the General at Hartford,
dud'thc' other by the Senator as chairman .of
the Ohio State convention—are likely to
furnish texts for much future animadver-
sion. Senator Sherman epitomized the one,
universal sentiment of the non-office holding
and non-ofiice seeking masses of the republi-
can'party of the republic, when he said:
“We have no room in this country for a
leader who commands and dictates, there is
no room here for a primate or a boss, and the
man who attempts to rho-boss had better
make his will beforehand.” .
The days of dictators and “bosses” in the
republican party, at least, are fully over and
that leader however eminent his talents, who
attempts to play the role, will but re-enact
the attempt of the steer to toss the locomo-
tive from the track. The republican party
is made up of men of independent minds
and self assertion; men who think and act
upon their own views of the great princi-
plea espoused and who brook no dictation.
There was epigrammatic ruth, as well as
sarcastic humor, in the Senator’s further
assertion that “the tax on whiskey alone,
will now pay the interest on our public
debt.” There is poetic justice, at 1east,in
thus imposing the debt paying burden, so
largely upon the democratic party, for but
for that detestable, political organization,
there would have been no war debt to pay.
The proceedings of the Ohio convention,
its harmony and enthusiasm, throughout,
are the best endorsements the Administra-
‘ tion could crave and the surest augury Of
the success of our ticket in that state.
The speech of Gen. Sherman, before the
Army of the Potomac reunion at Hartford,
will challenge broad and spirited discussions,
in civil as well as military Icircles. The
General’s arraignment of J eff Davi’s untruth-
ness, in his attempted history of the Con-
federate Rebellion, was a just thOugh severe
rebuke to that defeated and maglignant
personage. The General not only convicts
Davis of “nursing his wrath and keeping it
warm,” all these years, but of the more
debasing vice of- downright lying. In the
burning of Columbia, Mr. Chester N. Case,’
well known as a former citizen of Norwalk,
had amillion dollars worth of cotton con-
sunled, which proved a total loss to him
because it has clearly been proven the fire
was set by the confederate soldiery to pre-
vent its falling into the hands ,of the Union
Army then pressing an entrance into the
town. The fact has been judicially pro‘ven,
over and over again and it is difficult "to
account for the mendacity of Davis, unless
he is as rebkless of the truth as he was Of
the lives of his own suffering soldiers. Not
only General Sherman, but those confede-
rate Generals, who have had the fortune to
live and endure the impotent displeasure of
Davis, may well rejoice in the full enjoy-
ment of the revenge so ardently craved by
old Job—“Oh that mine enemy would write
a book.”
an ALBANY,
The dead-lock in the New York Legisla-
. ture. has taken on an intense degree of
interest since the reported attempted bribery
of a Conkling man to vote for Depew.
There are many New York politicians here
who know Senator Sessions well and- who
aver that whatever else may be said against
him, no one who knows him. will ever
assert that he is a stupid fool, and that the
story of attempted bribery, as detailed by
Senator Bradley bears its own refutation, as
Sessions is one of the most adroit and shrewd
manipulators and managers, and is totally
incapable of attempting so bunglinfia piece
of work—even if they conceeded,—which
they do not—that he .would act on no
higher plane of moral rectitude. It is uni-
versally viewed here as “a put up job" and a
very thin one at that.
We have the highest possible authority
in substantiation of the statements published
in last week’s editorial letter, that the
President did send a request to Vice-Presi-
dent Arthur and to Senators Conkling and
Platt to come and see him, and set an hour
for the interview, stating he had no desire
. to antagonize their wishes in his New York
nominations. Further, that the President
waited an hour and a half, and none of them
put in an. appearance. His Post Master
General bore the message and while both
Mr. Arthur and Senator Qlatt expressed a
willingness to accept the President’s special
invitation—Mr: Conkling, like the good but
obstinate brother, for whom the elder was
praying that either his objections or himself
might be removed to Abraham’s bosom—
rose up in the midst of the prayer and
shouted back—“I won’t go. I won’t go.".
The President was quite willing to change
his New York State by recalling all the
nominations and putting Woodford on the
vacant seat on the U. S. Bench; making
Robertson U. S,_ District Attorney, and
appointing the late Vice-President Wheeler,
or some other republican of national repute—q
tion for the collectorship. All this was de-
feated and spurned by New York’s ill-
tempered, Senior Senator, and the facts
are sorwell 'known that they cannot be
successfully gainsayedror denied.
Now that me‘sup‘re‘me; Court of New
Hampshire, sitting a. bane, has decided that
the present Legislature must elect a U. 8-
Senator to fill the vacancy arising by reason
of the expiration omenator Rollins’ term,
it is strongly hoped here-that Hon. Wm. E.
Chandler will be returned, as in his selection,
somewhat of the intellectual power land ac-
tivity of New Hampshire's representatives
of other days would again be visible inithe

OFFIClAL CHARGES.
Among the reports of coming changes is
one that Gen. Dumont .isrto bercplaced as
supervising inspector general of steamves~
sels, by a new man. ' Captain G. W. Thomp-
son, of Cincinnati, Asa R. Cole, inspector of
boilers atgPort Huron, Mich, and Mr. War-
ing, now of New York, but formerly of‘ the
Norwalk Iron Works, and a most compe-
tent engineer, are'mentioncd as applicants
for Gen. Dumont’s place. _ '
Gen. Dumont ‘has determined that this
season the violations, of law by the over-
crowding of'llteahibOats, etc., shall be dealt
with in a rigid manner. With the assistance
of the officers of the Customs service the
scrutiny can be more complete than hereto-
fore. At the large cities, however, it will
even nowL be impossible for the United
States officers toknow all violations of this
kind, and. therefore the Department asks
public attention and assistance in these mat.
tom. It urges private citizens to report‘
violations, and points to the fact that under
the law one half of the amount of the pen-
alties recovered through ' proscb’utions goes
to the informer. e
Verbal complaint was made to the Depart-
ment a few days ago that'au‘certainpassen-
gar steamerfromNew York, frequently

added: "You will thereto in addition, to
thecase herein referred t , give especial
attention to the matter of overcrowding
excursion and other steamers in your district
during the excursion season.”
Gen. Dumont also states a curious fact
reaffirming the necessity of examinations of
steamboat pilots for color blindness. The
following case has been brought to the
notice of the ,United States inspectors of
steameevessels. The pilot of the City of
Austin, which was lost in the harbor of For—
nandina, April 24,. caused the disaster by
mistaking the color of the buoy. After the
disaster it was found that the pilot could not
distinguish one color from another at six
feet distance. The doctors who conducted
the examination argue that the use of
tobacco was the cause Of the pilot’s defective
vision. It is the opinion of the Government
authorities that the disaster would have
been avoided had the local authorities
availed themselves of the free services of
the Marine Hospital surgeons as examiners
in color-blindness.

Secretary Blaine yesterday obtained a per-
mit to build a three-story brick dwelling on
the corner of Twentieth and P streets and
Massachusetts avenu’e northwest, at an esti-
mated cost of $48,000. The house will be
fifty-four feet front with a depth of. sixty
five feet, and have a mansard roof. It will
be heated by steam, provided with an eleva-
tor, furnished with all the modern improve-
ments and finished in the highest style of

run FISH-HATOHING BOATS.
Capt. Tanner, who has been down the
Chesapeake Bay with the United States Fish
Commission boats, has hatched out 16,000,000
shad. This makes a total of 60,000,000,
more than one for every inhabitant in this
country. Many have been shipped to the
interior. He relates the interesting fact that
shed must be in a stream tributary to the sea.
Those in the Arkansas river, for instance,
travel several thousand miles every spawning
season. After the experiments are concluded
in shad, thee-commission will take up Spanish
mackerel, the spawning habits of which have
comparatively just been discovered.

' Saturday night, for the first time during
this month of roses, the moon came out
brightfias if for the special purpose of giving
mortals a fair opportunity of witnessing her
total eblipse. The little afiair came off ac-
cording to programme, and was witnessed
by many who staid up for that purpose, or
who got out of swarm bed to gratify their
curiosity in lunar matters. After the eclipse
the moon sailed on triumphantly. without
any perceptible idiminuition of brightness
and beauty.
Quebec the most intercsting and charming
city inlAmerica, was visited by another ter-
rible cOnfiagration on Wednesday night last.
The fire commenced in the French quarter,
west Of the old city walls, and destroyed
some 800 houses, driving 1,500 families into
the streets—destroying their homes and all
that they possessed. Among the buildings
destroyed was St. J ohu’s hurch, better
kno wn to Americans as the Fr ch Cathedral,
an imposing edifice with two high steeples
and one of the most conspicuous buildings in
the city, The water supply of the city is
very deficient, and when the broke cut the
water was turned off from that section and
it was nearly half an hour before a supp
could be obtained. The people secmto ha
worked gwillingly, doing what they could to
preventéthe splendor the flames, but the fire
brigade is not so well equipped and organized
.as in most American cities, although the
danger of confiagration is greater. As this
portion .of the city was largely filled -with
stores and places of business it will probably
be built up again immediately, and greatly
improved. 1 The entire loss is estimated at
from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000; judging from
the character ofthe houses destroyed, how-
exer, the buildings alone must have been
worth nearly $2,000,000, without regard to
contents. The insurance is estimated at
$650,000,
The air is still full of railroad rumors, but

bridge has the appearance of being very
strong and durable, and is a very graceful
looking structure. It seems to be the uni—
versal opinion that it is just what was need-
ed, and that in the long run it will be coo:
nomical. The entire cost including the mas-
sive stone abutments and the bridge over the
canal is just about $2,500. In this structure
the Corrugated Iron Company have a stand-
ing advertisement which they can point to
with pride, and. the town abridge which is
in every way creditable. The committee,
Messrs. S. E. Olmstead, Burr Smith and

ner in which they have performed their

It is stated that during the recent small-

sons were vaccinated at the expense of the
town. If a similar scare should be experi-
New Haven be follO ed, or would our citi-
zens be compelled ay from $1.00 to $1.50
each for the operation ? There are numerous
men in town who cannot afford to have all
the members of their families vaccinated at
present ruling rates. In view of the whole-
sale character of the practice, why cannot
the local Medical Society encourage vaccina-
tion by reducing prices to a reasonable point.
Certainly the doctors could well afford to do
so, and the increased patronage which would
undoubtedly follow would remunerate them
well.

Dark Nights.
Again we have been requested to say
something about the non-lighting of the street
lamps during those fearfully dark nights of
last week. We have spoken of the matter
so many times in the past that we are tired
of it. All admit that if the night is dark and
stormy the lamps should be lit, even though
the almanac says ' “moonlight,” but the
BorOugh authorities and the Gas folks are in
an old rut which has become so familiar that
they seem to be unable to get out of it, and
even seem to think the complaint unjust and
unkind. We certainly do not want any ad-
vantage taken of the Gas company, whatever,
and believe that they should be fully paid
for every night that the lamps are lighted.
The entire difficulty seems to be to so arrange
matters as to giv‘c proper service on such
extra nights as needed and at the same time
provide proper remuneration for the extra
supply of gas. We simply add the hint that
to satisfactorily arrange this matter‘would-be
afeather in the cap Of the ofilcial having the
matter in charge.

sin begets another, a direct power in sin to
propogate itself. It shuns the light—“be-
cause our deeds are evil.” Bitter fruits the
outgrowth. A divine power requisite, and

Drs. Burke and Gregory,substantiatcd by the
opinion of,Dr. Hubbard on examining their

Of a shock caused by an attempted abortion.
The jury brought in a Verdict to the effect
that Mrs. Cullen came to her death in the
office of Dr. Trowbridgc, on the evening of
TuesdapMay 31st in an attempt at abortion,
at the hands of Dr. W. H. Trowbridgc and
William F. Tillman
As stated in our last, Dr. Trowbridgc was
arrested and placed under $10,000 bonds,
while Tillman fled the state. On Wednes—
day, the doctor was brought before Justice
Clark, for examination, Julius B. Curtis ap-
pearing as his counsel. The examination was
postponed until Friday, J une 17, to give
counsel time’to examine the case and prepare
his defense. Mr. Wm. H. Hubbard became
surety for the Doctor, and he was released.
Mr. Curtis has associated with him Mr. J.
B. Hurlbutt of Norwalk. Dr. Trowbridgc
was here on Saturday in consultation with
Mr. Hurlbutt.
The Doctor claims that he is not guilty,
and thinks he can prove himself innocent.
Circumstantial evidence, however. is fear-
fully against him, but at the same time if
redily guilty it may be very difilcult to pro-
cure legal proof sufilcicnt to convict him.
On Saturday afternoon the body of Mrs.
Cullen was exhumed, aid the brain exam-
ined by Drs. Burke, Gregory and Hubbard.
Capture of Tillman.
Early in the week, State's Attorney Fes-
Ienden sent one of,Pinkerton’s detectives
here in search of‘ traces of Tillman. He
secured an excellent portrait of Tillman, and
picked up what information he could. On
Saturday it 'was known here that Tillman
had been captured at Auburn, N. Y. He
consented to come on with-the officer with-
out waiting for a requisition from the
Governor. Yesterday;he waived an exami-
nation, and was taken to Bridgeport jail in
default of'bon'ds. While nothing is known
about the matter, it is surmised by some that
he will turn State's evidence and thus secure
his own release.

Two more Unfortunates.
On Monday last, the Alms House was in-
vaded by a woman named Maria Gill, who
had been employed at the Weston Military
School. When found she Was in a .nude
condition, and in answer to questions she said
that “she had come there to meet her death."
She was cared for and evidently being out
of her head was put in a cell. On Tues-
day night she managed to get hold Of a piece
of glass by reaching between the bars, with
which ahe cut a horrible gash in her throat.
Drs. Gregory and Kendell were at once sum-
moned and dressed the wound. She will
probably recover.
On Thursday morning last a man was
noticed lying on the ground near the corner
of Catharine and Fair streets, a somewhat
out-of-the-way place, and yet one where he
would be sure to be seen. A lady living on
Fair street passed him, and afterwards
thinkingthat he might not be drunk, went.
with a neighbor to’look closer. He was
very pale and motionless, and they thought
him dead. As they were m0ving Off he
made (a motion of turning a} bottle up and
pouring something on a handkerchief, which
he applied to his face. They then noticed a
, paper on his hat on which was written
“read this.” The glote stated that his wife
and child could be found at the Danbury
depot or at the hotel. The ladies went to
Mr. Scofield’s store at once for assistance,
and Dr. Kendall was sent for. Mr. Scofield
and Mr. Eaton went to the man
and walked him up and down the
some time. He had been
inhaling chloroform, and gave it to be un-
derstood that he thus intended ending his
life. His wifeand child, a daughter eight
years dd, were sent for, and much sympathy
was manifested. They claimed to have come
all the way from Michigan to‘ New York,
where he hoped to get work. He also
claimed to have friends in Kansas City, and
desired to go to them. He bought an ounce
of chloroform here, and seemed to be quite
familiar with the article. It is doubtful if
death would’;have ensued from inhaling it
in this manner, and it is a question if death
was really intended. They were taken into
lhejhouse of Mr. Marquardt,wherc they were
very kindly cared for until Saturday morning
when they departed on the boat for New
York.
The Selectmen paid their fare down, and
sympathizing citizens raised a small sum for
their benefit.

EXC URSIONS.
rolooxav ISLAND.
It is hoped that the weather will clear up
and settle down before the time' arrives for
:the Odd Fellows' excursion to Coney Island
and Rockaway, on the 22d. The managers
want the three decks of the mammoth steam-
er Columbia well filled on the occasion, be—
lieving that all who go will spend a very en—
joyable day. Mr. J. T. Prowitt has consented
to take charge of the dancing for which good
music will be provided. Nothing more in
that line could be desired. The Wheeler &
Wilson 'Band will_ furnish delightful music
throughout the excursion. Passengers will
be allowed the choice of landing at Coney
Island or of going on to Rockaway Beach at
the same price. The boat will ' probably re—
turn early in the evening.

The temperance excursion up the Hudson,
on the 23d, by steamer Long Branch, will be

Alice, daughter of Gen. and Mrs. Darius N.
Couch. The ceremony was performed by the
Rector, Rev. Mr. Selleck. Mr. Jackson
presided at the organ, winning much praise.
The floral decorations in charge of Mr.
Hanford, were very fine and a large marriage
bell was specially admired. After the mar-
riage ceremony a reception was held at the
residence of the bride’s parents. The happy
couple departed with the best wishes of hosts

“Fly. .
as it went. But, when the Honorable Court
again take a hand at it, to make rates, they
ought at same time to arrange for the final
completion of the imposing structure, for to
my eyes it is as yet, far from being as com-
plete as such a highly useful and ornamental
undertaking undone of such importance to
the Borough, should be. In all great works
undertaken for the benefit of mankind, it is
usual to have neatlyremblazoned on some
portion of the work to hand down to
posterity, the names of the builders, orig-
nators or committee who had oversight in the
construction thereof. Therefore we think
it incomplete until the projectors of this
great borough work have their names put on
it sample of their work in blood red letters
or letters of gold, say in some such shape as
this :—
1881
BOROUGH OF NORWALK.
Erected by the
HONORABLE Corm’r or Bonoassas.
' .Wardcn.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
'1 Burgesscs
proper names of the Board in order of son-
ority.
And then how would it answer to sur-‘
mount the whole structure with a fine figure
(in brass) of Justice, holding her symbolical
scales with, say, in one side the “unprinci-
pled Coal Dealers" of the Borough and in the
other the members of the Honorable Court 1
Perhaps some might object, thinking it
unequal there being only four coal dealers,
and eight of the honorable authorities, but
they should bear in mind the old proverb:
"Vanity is Light," and then it might not be
considered so very unequal after all.
