Editorial Letter.
WASHINGTON J mm 25, 1881.
DEAR GAZETTE :— ' '
On Tuesday, an informalgathering of the
Cabinet was held at the State Department,
Sec. Blaine presiding. It was then agreed
that Secretaries Windom, Lincoln and Hunt
and Attorney General MacVeagh should pro-
ceed to Long Branch next day and meet the
President there in consultation upon import—
ant public matters. The three Secretaries
returned last night and were at their desks
to—day, the Attorney General will not return
before next Wednesday. The President is
expected to be here at the next Cabinet Meet-
ing on Tuesday, but ‘will return to the Branch
where Mrs. Garfield is to remain some time
longer. ’
The advent of tax—Senator Conkling here
to-day, has revived the local interest in the
Albany quarrel, though few see any encour-
aging outlook or settlement, as likely to soon
ensue. The purposes of Mr. Conkling’s mis-
sion are not clearly unfolded, but it is said he
came here, in part, to see a beautiful and val-
uable pct horse, which he left behind, and
which got badly lacerated in a barbed wire
fence a few days since.‘ .
GRANT AND DANA.
The reported “views" of Gen. Grant upon
the pending difiicuity between President Gar-
field and cx—Senator Conkling, wherein the
- General has freely and quite harshly criticis-
ed and condemned the President’s action,
prompts the query whether the ex-Pres. has
not forgotten his own treatment of the Hon.
Charles. A Dana at the beginning of his
first administration, and whether it is pru-
dent for one living in a house of such pecu-
liarly thin glass, to so intemperately shy
stones at his presidential successor. The
true inwardness of the Grant—Dana quarrel,
in consequence of which the Sun was trans-
formed from a stalwart Republican journal
to a fierce Democratic organ. and by reason
of which Mr. Dana has become a millionaire,
is said by those having interior knowledge of
the facts, to be about as follows: In grateful
remembrance that Mr. Dana, as Asst. Sec. of
War, had saved him from Halleck‘s envy
and hate and as determined purpose to re—
move him while in command in the. west,
Grant just prior to his inauguration, person-
ally solicited Mr. Dana to accept the Col-
lectorship of the Port of New York.
Mr. Dana had just entered upon an engage-
ment with the Sun trustees as editor in chief '
of that paper and did not at once accept
but after conferring with the Sun association
and getting their approval, Mr. Dana did no-
tify Gen. Grant that he would be glad to
accept the appointment. The General ex-
pressed himself, it is said, with far more de-
light than Mr. Dana had exhibited, and en —
thusiastically assured him that he might de—
pend upon the appointment. After Grant’s
inauguration rumors began to reach Dana
that he was in danéer of being cheated out
of his proffered an expected appointment.
Dana’s reply to these tales were always the
same, “I know Grant’s stubborn and unyield-
ing adherence to his friends and his purposes
and I have no fears that he will break his
faith and word with me.” It soon trans-
pired, and Mr. Dana was dumfounded, by
seeing that this friend he had saved from
spite,and whose campaign life he had written
with enthusiastic if not fulsome praise,
had sent in the name of Moses H. Grinnell
as Collector of the Port of New York!
The most exasperating part of the affair to
Mr. Dana, it is said, and what intensified his
“love to hatred turned,” was the fact that
Grant never by word, or letter, or next friend,
gave Dana any explanation of his extraordin-
ary (conduct. On the ex-President’s side,
it is claimed,that, he really desired to appoint
Mr. Dana in compliance with his proffer, but
for reasons Of state-craft, and party policy
his wishes were over-ruled. If this be true,
and it doubtless is, it would seem to have
been the part of good breeding if not of
gentlemanly courtesy to have sent an expla—
nation to Mr. Dana and better, sent for Mr.
Dana himself, just as President Garfield sent
for Conkiing, to come and see him, and thus
to have retained a true, ardent and powerful
friend. Your correspondent has the best
'reasons for believing the above account of
the Grant and Dana difficulty to be substan-
tially true and also, that this is the first time
its details have been as fully printed.
ICE.
The Interior Department closed a contract
for Maine ice for the next fiscal year, at
thirteen and a half cents per one hundred
pounds. ,
PATENTS.
Thursday, the receipts at the United States
Pat-cut Ollie-'2, were the largest in amount
ever paid in a single day since thc‘ofilcc was
erected. ,
APPOINTMENTS.
The President has forwarded from Long
Branch the following appointments among
others, for record at the White House : Al-
exander Jourdan, Pa, to be U. S. Consul at
Al_icrs ; G. H. Spcnccr, agent at the Crow
Creek agency, Dakota. Mr. Spencer is the
err-Senator from Alabama, whose name has
been so freely used asa probable successor
to First Assistant Postmaster, Gen. Tyner.
GOOD.
Representative Emory Speer of Georgia,
is in this city. He does not deny that-he has
informed the President that he intends to vote
with the republicans in organizing the next
House. He says, however, that he has
authorized no one to make such a statement.
STATE DEPARTMENT.
_ Gen. Lew Wallace, of Indiana,_arrived in
Washington this morning to get his'instruc-
lions, etc., from the. State Department, pre—
paratory to leaving for Constantinople, .as U.
S. Minister to Turkey. We may now look
for another quaint .book‘ from the famous
author of Ben Hur. ' ' ‘ '
Col. A. B. Wood, for many ’years the able
and affable Chief of the Consular Bureau,
sails on the 7th proximo, to take charge of
the Consulate at Belfast, to which he has
been appointed and confirmed. The Colonel

Middletown, N. Y. He is a graduate of
Yale, and related, on his mother’s side, to the
Bissell family of Norwalk, and theBurr’s and
Sherwocd’s of Fairfield, and is every inch a
representative American and a gentleman.
vs. TEE WOMEN.
Secretary Hunt has spoiled the too common
practice of using the naval vessels for Excur.
sion affairs, for the wives and sweethearts of
the officers and middies, by issuing the fol-
lowing ordcr :—-Women shall not be allowed
to reside on board vessels of the United
States navy in commission for sea service,
nor shall they be taken as passengers on such
vessels under any circumstances.

The Band Concerts. -
The Union Band gave a pleasant open air
concert, on Union Park, last Tuesday even—
ing, attracting quite a crowd of listeners. It
is possible that arrangements will be made
by which they will play alternate weeks on
the Green and Union Park. It is not yet
settle-ti whether they will play this week or
not. 9
No concert was given in the city, Saturday
night, owing to a death in the Punzelt fam-
ily, notice of which was received as the
members were assembling. Three or four
. Punzclt brothers are members of the Band.

The Ever-Glorious Fourth.
Is due next Monday before daylight.
The probabilities are that it will be aw—
fully hot, with circling thunder showers be-
fore nighté—if the comet does not interfere.
Are your plans all laid for celebrating and
parties made up ?
ere are you going ?
Who will ring the bell ?
Is there to be a salute?
Who will make the best display of fire-
works for the public benefit?
How many packs of fire crackers have you
got ?
Do you go to Roton Point, Coney Island
on the Adelpbi, to the Fair Grounds, down
the harbor or under the shade at ome ?
Drink soda water, keep cool, amuse the
children and teach them the lessons of the
day, treat your wife to ice cream, and you
will come out all right.
m
4th of July Excursion.
Our readers will remember that the 4th of
July excursion by the Steamer Adelpbi, this
season is to Coney Island. No more attrac—
tive place for spending the 4th can be found.
If the day should be hot, as the 4th usually
does, the sail will be cool and delightful, and
a bath in old ocean refreshing. The fare is
quite reasonable, and the time of returning
seasonable.
Excursion Week.
The long—anticipated excursion of Our
Brothers’ Lodge to Coney Island and Rocka-
way,came off on Wednesday last. Fortunately
the day was clear and bright, the sun being
‘warm but the air rather too cool for comfort.
The steamer Columbia arrived from New
Haven- early in the morning, and waited
until flood tide, about eight O’clock, when
the Adelpbi, with some difficulty pulled the
mammoth steamer around. About 8:30
the Columbia started with some 1,000 or’
1,200 people on board. Capt. Merrill,the pilot,
handled her very skillfully, taking her suc-
cessfully out of the tortuous western passage.
A fish horn salute—notes of triumph—from
Tavern Island, was perhaps a special con-
gratulation to him. Off Roton, Ackcrt’s
Columbia~d resounded, a “send—OE" for all.
Seldom does the Sound wear so many tints
as on that morning, and the sail was lovely.
The people wandered from one deck to an—
other, andthat clear upper deck was fully
appreciated by all who wished to enjoy the
sights. Below, the Wheeler 6t Wilson Band
first rendered concert music, and then the
string band furnished music for dancing,
which department was specially in charge of
Mr'. J. T. Prowitt. The sail down East
River, under the Bridge, through the Nar-
rows and out into the ocean was delightful.
At 12% all that desired were safely landed at
which the steamer kept on to Rockaway.
At the latter place the greatest attraction was
the surf-which came in quite strong. At Coney
Island the attractions were fully enjoyed.
At neither place, however, was there much
of a crowd, the cool weather all this month
preventing a rush. Our passengers also
missed the concerts which did not commence
until time for the departure of the steamer.
The Island is in fine condition, and the hotel
people are ready and waiting for the harvest
to commence. At 4 o’clock the steamer
reached the Pier,. and the passengers were
soon safely on board, despite a momentary
alarm caused by the breaking of a timber as
a sudden lurch sent the steamer against the
temporary landing. The sail home was
made in four hours, the steamer coming in
by the eastern passage. At 8:10 the steamer
quietly glided up to the dock, and without
the slightest delay the passengers were al-
lowed to disembark. All were greatly
pleased with the Columbia and her able"
management. Capt. Holton was in com-
mand, and Capt. Perkins specially lhonored
the'occasion with his presence to see that ev-
erything possible was done to enhance the
general enjoyment.
On Thursday morning,thc excursion steam-
er Long Branch arrived to take out the City
Reform Club excursion to Mount Pleasant
Grove. Some delay occurred in turning
around, and it was after 9 o’clock before the
vessel left the wharf.‘ The day was quite
pleasant, very similar to the previous day.
The first part of the trip was in the same
direction as the excursion of Wednesday,
but upon reaching the city the boat turned
.into the Hudson River and proceeded North
to the grove “over in New Jersey,” where
the passengers were landed at about 1:30 p.
In. Here the passengers had about an hour
and one-half to enjoy the attractions of the
place, the boat leaving at 3 o’clock. The
sail home was without special incident, the
boat reaching her wharf soon after 7 o’clock.
The Union Band acCompanied the excursion.
There were some eight hundred people on
board, and the friends of the club will be
glad to know that the excursion was pecun-
iarily as well as socially successful.
The weather continuing pleasant on Satur-
day morning the Congregational church bell
announced in cheerful and unmistakable
tones that the Sunday School Excursion to
Brooksic’e Park,Rcdding Station, would take
place that morning. Nearly two hundred
persons assembled at the freight depot, and
were taken up the Road in three cars at-
tached to regular mail train. Arriving at
Redding Station the entrance to the charm-
ing grove was found to be close by, and soon
all were enjoying the delights incident. to a
pic-Die in the woods. The' large, handsome
Pavilion was the center of attraction; it
contained good tables, and easy folding seats
'in abundance. The structure will shelter a
host of people in case of a storm, and the
large grove furnished the most delightful
shade. This season the pretty entrance gates
have been ornamented with the name of the
Park in large gilt letters. and the brome
figure of a stork has been placed onan
eminence from the mouth of which spouts a
minature fountain. A very pretty fountain
is playing under the trees, and the basin for
a much larger one is being comtructed.
There are several ;fine . {croquet plots,
Swings, boats, etc., for the amusement of
visitors, and an abudance of neat tables and
seats in all parts of the gonads for the free
use of guests. A force of about fifty men
are still at work making improvements. A
very pretty brook and two lakes of clear,purc
water neatly encircles the grove, adding
greatly to the general appearance and at-
tractiveness of this pleasing summer resort.
The grove is supplied with pure water con-
veyed in pipes from a fine spring situated in
the woods one bill some distance from the
Park.’ There is also:a house fitted up for a
restaurant, and a kitchen with a range, and
other conveniences, and a neat little cottage
for the keeper.- Supt. Sandiforth evidently
intends to add all necessary conveniences to
the natural advantages of the place, and to
make it popular by making it as attractive as
possible.
The surrounding scenery is very pleasing,
and from the hill east of the Park can be
seen the town of Danbury’s new summer
resort, Terrc Hautc, on Thomas Mountain.
Those interested in historical matters will
find several places of interest, a short Walk
from the Park on the east-Gallow’s Hill
where a soldier was hung during the Revolu-
tion ; a house where Gen. Putnam was fired
at by British Soldiers while looking out of
a window; and the Old Barlow place, in the
north chamber of which Joel Barlow, wrote
most of his noted poems.
But to return to the pic-nic. During the,
afternoon Supt. Gibson assembled the child-
ren in the Pavilion, where a short time was
spent in singing, Mr. Punzeldt accompanying
with thc'cornet. At 4:30 the train started
for Norwalk, arriving before half-past five,
all sec‘ming to have enjoyed the excursion
thoroughly. It willbeapleasure to all in.
terested in the school to know, also, that the
receipts were rather more than the expenses.

suppose, of intense interest, yet matters
which we may suppose might be discussed
elsewhere. Please, gentlemen, consider the
convenience of others.
Town Clerk Henry K. Selleck was married
early on Wednesday morning last, to Miss
Mary E. Taylor. The ceremony was quietly
performed at the parsonage of the 2d M. E.‘
Church, by the Rev. Mr. Wing, after which
the happy couple were conveyed to the cars
and departed on a short wedding journey,
returning Saturday. They age now happily
domiciled in their pretty new ”model” cot-
tage on Berkeley Place. Hosts of friends
join in wishing them all manner of happiness.
“Gleanings from Fuller’s Field.’
We are indebted to on? kind friend, Rev.
'Mr. Fuller, for a donation of mammoth
strawberries of the Sharpless variety, of his
own raising. He had specimens measun'ng
seven inches in circumference. Twenty
berries, he says, filled a quart measure. If
he can grow such berries he ought to
commence telling the world what he knows
about fruit culture. '
A fine lot of Sharpless strawberries from
Mr. Eben Eaton's garden, accompanied by
by many varieties of beautful roses, found
their way quietly to a certain private table
we wot of. We are glad to see that our
friends are meeting with such success.
Mr. Geo. C. Comstock left us last week a
fine sample lot of the splendid Comstock
Seedling Strawberry, a variety propaga'ted
on his mother’s well-known strawberry farm;
they were luscious. The bulk of his berries
Mr. Comstock ships to New York city.

Veteran Odd Fellows.
The annual re-union and dinner of the
Veteran Odd Fellows Association is to be
held on the,12th of July at Roton Point. It
is intended to make it more interesting than
ever before. No more delightful spot could
have been selected fbr the re-union.
m
WHAT Dons IT MEAN f—The first time that
Dr. Trowbridge was hailed his bondsman
was the Rev. N. Mead. Last week he was
released from jail, his bondsman being Rev.
Wm. C. Hoyt. When all the world turn
their backs upon him fearing that he may be
guilty and abscond, the clergy step forward
and show their faith in him by risking $10,-
000 l ' Who can explain it ? >
The Advocate has the following:
Hon. J. H. Olmsteadhas been employed
by the veteran soldiers who belongs to the G.
A. R. Post in S ford as additional counsel
to defend Dr. T owbrid’ge in the coming trial
at Bridgeport. This is a very proper and
kind act on the part of the veterans.
The only inference is that they consider
him innocent and persecuted, and desire to
give him every possible chance to clear him-
self. .
The new steamer, Mabel L. Stevens, Capt.
W. I. Stevens, will make trips between
Roton Point and South Norwalk on the
glorious FOurth as follows : Leave Steamboat
Wharf at 10 o’clock a. m. and 2, 4 and '7
o'clock p. m. ; returning will leave Roton
at 11 o'clock a. m, and at 3, 6 and 10:30
o’clock, p. m. Fare each way 25 cents'. '

atmosphere cool is somethinguo luau-cani
find out, and the appearance cube-sleaze
tailed celestial strangers in such seasons may
be a mere coincidence, unless, indeed, in
passing between the earth and. the sun they
shield us from the full and direct rays of the
sun.
The COmet.
We announced last week. the discovery
of a‘ ‘OOmet by Dr. Gould, a South American
astronomer. During the week a brilliant
comet suddenly appeared here, visible to the
naked eye as soon as announced by the as-
tronomers. By some it is thought to be the
same seen by Dr. Gould, while other as-
tronomers think it cannot be the same.
Scientists seem to have been taken entirely
by surprise, and as yet have been able to
furnish but little information in regard to it.
The New Haven Palladium tells about all
that is really known of it in the following :
“The calculations made in 1807 were,
however, that the brilliant visitor would
not appear again in 1,500 years. In conse-
quence of the calculations there was some
doubt regarding Dr. Gould’s identification of
this comet with that Of the early part of
the century. Astronomers have now,
however, virtually decided that it is the
comet of 1807 and Professor Newton of Yale
is of this opinion. It has passed between‘
the earth and the sun, its nearest point to us
being 30,000,000 of miles. It is now seen in
the northwest near the constellation Capella
and is visible all night. 1807 it was visible
twenty-eight weeks. Although it has passed
its nearest point to the earth it will be visible
a number of weeks. It will also increase in
brightness as its course will be higher reach-
ing nearly to the constellation Of the Great
Bear, and it will be removed from the haze
of the horizon. , It has a tail six degrees long
and Professor Newton‘s o inion is that if it
is the same comet seen by r. Gould in the
southern hemisphere, the earth must have
gassed through the extreme end of the tail.
his tail according to his theory, is vapor,
thrown off'by coming in contact with the
tun, and resembles the smoke~thrown of!
from a locomotive. If itis the comet of;1807.
its orbit extends about thirty-five times the
distance ‘of the sun from the earth, it going
out a little farther than _the farthest known
planet, Neptune.
» Only a casual observation has as yet been
made of the celestial stranger, but a glimpse
through the telescope shows that it has a fan
shaped tail.”, _ . . , '

Chief Justice Park has rendered an opin-
ion, concurred in by associate judges, con-
cerning the constitutionality of the act,
that every person shall be fined who is re-
ported to keep liquor for sale without a li-
cense. An appeal was made in the case
against Thomas, and the lower courtficcid-
ed the act to be constitutional. The Su—
preme Court sustains the decision. Judge
Park says the object of the act is to pre-
vent the unlawful sale of liquor, and the
act takes it as granted that where rum is
kept for sale' it will be sold. A shop is as
customers are easily distinguishable from
others. They loiter about the establishment
as drones about a hive and constitute a sign
for the place as unmistakable as one in let-
ters over the door. The defendant claims
that the reputation of the place is made the
crime, but the fact is that the .crime consists
in the character of the place; and its reputa-
tion, unexplained and uncontradicted,is taken
as evidence that liquors are sold there.

DETEOIT, June 22.—A bold bank robber
was perpetrated at the First National Ban
pf this city this noon. A small boy was
sent into the cashier’s private office where he
and the president were both engaged in
signing new currency, requesting him to
step to the sidewalk to see a man. The
cashier stepped out of the bank, leaving the
president busily engaged signing sheets of
currency.
The man proved to be a stranger who de-
sired a loan, and detained the cashier a long
time. Meanwhile two confederates went
into the private ofilce; one boldly stepped up
to the president, and inquired for the cashier
by name. The president told him he would
be in in a minute. The other scooped .up a
pile of signed bills, slipped them under his
coat and quietly sauntered out, followed in a
moment by his confederate. The amount
taken was $2,080.

Calvin. The following clipping from an ex-
chanfi is an apropos sequel to the good pas-
tor's vindication of a much abused man.
‘ CALVIN AND ms INTLUENOE.—Bancroft, the
historian, speaking of John Calvin, says:
“We boast of our common schools. Calvin
was the father of popular education, and the
inventor of the system of free schools. We
are proud of the free States which fringejhe
Atlantic. The Pilgrims of Plymouth were
Calvinists ; the first settlers in South Carolina
were from the Calvinists of France; William
Penn was the disciple of the Huguenots; and
the ships from Holland that first brought
colonies to Manhattan were filled with Cal-
vinists. He that will not honor the memory
and respect the influence of Calvin knows
but little of the origin of American liberty."

On a Brief Vislt.
We are happy to inform our readers that
Dr. S. D. Howe, the consumptive specialist,
of New York city (b request), wilt make
his second visit to orwalk, July 8th and
9th, stopping at the Adams House, to give
advice and examinations to all desiring it
(with the respirator,an instrument ’that gives
a correct condition of the lungs), free pf any
charge whatever, neither has he medicines to
sell. They can be procured of his agent, ,H.
S. Belts, druggist. During thelast forty
years Dr. Howe has examined more than
0,000 consumptives, and of course must
have become an expert in his specialty. He
does not profess to raise the dead nor to
work miracles, but believes 80 consumptives
out of 100 can be restored to health with
proper bygenic care and a faithful use of his
Arabian. milk cure, tonic and pills. Dr.
Howealso gives particular attention to all
"chronic diseases of the liver, kidneys, heart,
nerve, skin, blood diseases, female weakness,
etc., for which one or all of his Arabian
medicines are specially adapted. Dr. Howe
is already known to our Norwalk pebple,
and certainly hm made some very remarkable
cures, consequently many old friends will be
gladto greet him again. Those who may
need advice and wish to learn the exact con-
dition of their health, should not fail to call
upon him while here. You will find him a
gentleman who comes highly endorsed by
the physicians, clergy and press .of New
York and other cities. The Dr. will also be
at the Mabackemo Hotel, South Norwalk.

The Yale Crew.
The Yale crew took their first practice
spin since their arrival on the Thames, last
evening, and notwithstanding the incidents
of’ the day, which had interfered with their
training regime, they came down the course
in splendid style, swinging along at an aver-
age stroke of thirty-eight to the minute,with-
out a break or a splash, and the eight brown‘
backs bending in absolute time with the pre-
cision of a machine. Every one who saw
them admitted that such a stroke had not
been pulled in the river since the first uni-
versity race was rowed here, not even ex—
cepting the stroke of Bancroft’s former crew.
Mr. Wood hasreason to be satisfied with his
work this year, and if no accident happens,
the race is likely to be even a bigger walk
