I ».r- w Seawall: Gazette. Tuesday. August 16, 1881- . Secretary Windom’s Letter. ' “We give space in another column for the letter of Secretary Windom to the Bankers’_ Convention at Saratoga. It is frank, clear, Y audinode'st as its author. and will amply re- pay careful perusal by any one who wishes to understh the present financial situation of the country and the process by which re- funding was successfully completed. It has very generally been the good fortune of the country to have excellent Secretaries of the'Treasury. We have had Secretaries of the Navy who had never seen a ship, and were surprised to find “the durned things were holler." Secretaries of War who never saw anything more deadly than a cask of Jersey lightning, Attorney Generals who were like necessity in knowing no law, and Postmasters General who hardly knew their own letters; but the Treasury Department has been almost as fortunate as the State Department in the quality of its chief. offi- cers. The line begins with Alexander Ham- ilton, who “touched the corpse of public credit and it rose upon its feet," and who was. beyond a doubt, the most brilliant financier of our country. Then come at in- tervals Oliver Wolcott, of our own State, Albert Galletin, who afterwards became'the most successful of New York hank presi- dents, Alex. J. Dallas.who saved the country from utter bankruptcy at the close of the war of 1812, Wm. H. Crawford, who carried the Treasury safely through a five years' panic, Salmon P. Chase, whose greenbacks, says a Confederate authority, "did as much as the blue~bellies to put down the rebellion," Hugh McCulloch. who afterwards went to London and there founded a great and successful ' Yankee banking house,and last but not least. John Sherman, whose annual oath value to the people of the United States is now about $14,000,000, being the reduction by his refunding operations in the interest paid out 'of their hard earnings every year. To add one‘s name to such a list implies a risk which is sufficient to deter most men from accept- ing an appointment as Secretary of the Treasury; but to come immediately after John Sherman, and to venture the invidious comparisons which would inevitably be made with his remarkable administration, made up a combination of diflculties which was al- most too much for President Garfield. The public men who were qualified for the posi- tion shunned the appointment. and those who were anxious for it were rather of the Cult- enu than of the Sherman type. It was beyond measure fortunate for the country that the President succeeded in in- ducing Mr. Windom to take up the burden of ‘the Treasury. He is by birth an Ohio boy, like most other very' successful men ; and. although he was not a native of the Connecticut Reserve of that State, he was born so near it, in Belmont County, that the chances are at least a hundred to one that he has plenty of Connecticut blood in his veins (like most of the successful Ohio men).—-At all events he evinced his accustomed sound sense by coming to New England , for his wife. In 1855 he settled in Minnesota. He is not one of the bustling, pushing, self-seek- ing type of politician. and it took his new State five years to discover what manner of man he was; but. when she had once tried him, Minnesota never allowed him to leave her service from 1860 until in1877, she surrendered him to the nation. Repre- sentative in Congress from 1800 until 1870, and United States Senator from 1870 until 1877—and it is characteristic of the man’s modesty that, after seventeen years of hard and unremitting congressional work, the first thought of a full half of our blather- skite politicians, on hearing of his appoint- ment, was “Who on earth is William Win- dom i" Had he spent more time in securing “interviews" with newspaper correspondents, and less in the real service of-his country as author of the important transportation to seaboard, as incessantworker on Ways and Means and Appropriation Committees, he would have been better known to the noisier classes of “machine men," but far less valu- able as a public servant and statesman. He succeeded to a task which a Democratic Congress had as hopelessly muddled as a congress of hod carriers attempting to in- vestigate the transit of Venus could have done. How be accomplished it his letter will best tell; to attempt to analyze or make more clear his own simple narration of methods would be only painting the lily. It is very easy to say now that his plan ws‘s simple. All master strokes are simple. To discover America, or to stand an egg on end, are simple, when one is own how. When the German Prime' Minister innocently ex- plained his whole plan of action to his rival's ambassador, knowing that the whole state- ment would be set down as an enormous lie, the thought was simple, but it changed the map of Europe. Imagine the state of the Treasury if a Secretary had been appointed above such simple- ideas ; - the maturing bonds unprepared for. nothing to be ‘ done but to wait psitiently and grumble until the meeting- of Congress in [December, and the whole enormous‘but delicate .fabric of government credit exposed. after July 1st, to every breath of popular distrust or alarm l, Guitenu’s shot, mildly 2d might, then have had consequences beyond calculutidn. We are indebted. iu-brief, tO‘ Secretary Windom for exemption from a panic which would have ‘made it infinitely harder for every one of us,‘ rich or poor, to work our way through the ' next two or three years. The business of the Treasury Department has grown so immensely that it really Ought be taken out of politics, and if Our Demo- cratic friends bad sound political sense they would see that their anxiety to keep'it in politics has been the main reason why they do not succeed in politics. . Under the Con- v . :federation, a single clerk was enough to transact the little business which the Treasu- ry had to do. Even under the Constitution. business was at first so comparatively small that Hamilton felt as great a pride, in the ' saving of $5,000 annual interest as he would now in saving $10,000,000. One department after another has been taken out of the Treasury, first the Post Office Department, then that of the Interior, and still the inter- estsof the Treasury have grown until that Department is now a congeries of bureaux, each of which is really a minor dee partment. The whole requires the absorb- ed and entire attention of the very ablest‘ men the country can produce or command. The country is to be congratulated that President Garfield’s keen sense of fitness had marked the modest and retiring Representa— tive and Senator from Minnesota during the period of his work in Congress, and insisted upon his assuming before the country the station to which his‘ abilities entitle him. Now that the nation has taken him from the State which so long trusted and honored him, the nation will nOt willingly allow him to leave its scrvfi. His whole career is worthy of consideration by those who labor so hard and often so effectually, to persuade our young men that long, patient, faithful, and unassuming labor amounts to nothing,and that success must be achieved by sudden, venturesome and brilliant “check." For this reason, among others, we have thought it , fitting to direct our readers’ attention to the career of our model Secretary of the Treas- ury,who never made a speech for buncombe, who never “slapped over," who never adver- tised himself, who never shirked a work or duty, and wlao wasn't “afi-aid to succeed John Sherman." . =___———-_._..= A very appropriate ironcastlng is attached to each end of the iron bridge at Brady’s Crossing, to keep in remembrance the com- . mittee appointed to superintend the same. It is all very well, but there is a possibility in future ages that some searcher after biographical knowledge may be heard to ex— claim: “Burr Smith we know all about, but whoinJupiter were S. E. Olmstead and Andrew-Selleckl” ’ -.. The President. Dr. Bliss says the latest examinations of the wound clearly shows that the ball did not 'go through the liver. The liver was certainly injured by the shot either by con. cussion or inflammation. Every indication corroborates the idea that the ball is in the region of the lilac foasa, and ”also that it is doing no harm. He suffers much from in- digestion, dyspepsia, being an old enemy of his, but Saturday he ate heartily and retained his food. ' . The Saturday report says he took a great deal of nourishment. He had the usual amount of koumiss and meat-broth. and per- haps fourteen or fifteen ounces of milk. Besides this he ate a piece of chicken at two different times, some potato softened with cream and some toast. He also enjoys fruit. To-dsy he ate some blackberries and part of a peach. Several days ago he said he would like some Bermuda onions. and every day since he has aekcd if there were any to be had. To-day some one sent him some from New York. As soon as he heard of it he ex- pressed a desire for some. One was slicedin vinegar and given to him. He said it was the best thing he had eaten. In this connection a good story comes through a Cabinet officer. He says the con- tinued high temperature of the past week could have been reduced in part if the Presi- dent iwould have taken brandy to help his strength. He asked if it was absolutely no- cessary he should, and being answered 31 the negative, declined to take it. In talking about the President's physical condition Dr. Bliss said: . “Some people think the President is help- less; that is all wrong.” The Doctor cited as one evidence the fact that the President could pick up his glasses, adjust them and hold a newspaper while he read,i the news. but roads with full understanding of all details and often comments thereon. Sunday he suffered much from his dyspep- sia again, but the-physicians say it is no cause for alarm, but to these causes the attending physicians attribute the fact that the fever remained as high as on the day before. His Doctorsaver there is no present ne- cessity or intention of another surgical oper- ation and that upon the whole, he has made a positive gain and is hopefully though slowlbe recovering. , .. The Herald‘s Washington correspondent interviewed Dr. Hamilton as to the Presi— dent’s condition, with the following encour- aging result :— "Doctor, is there any cause for the anxiety that was felt by the general public to-day ?" Before answering the question Dr. Hamil. ton said :- ‘ "Get out your pencil and paper and put down exactly what I tell you. Now, what was your question P" The above question was repeated and an- swered as follows :- _ "Not the slightest. The slight fluctua- tion in pulse-and temperature which occurs from day to day has no special significence. The causes are often obscure, but slight and transient, and‘ ought not to create in the ublic mind either alarm or encouragement. The public can judge better as to his condi- tion by'the fact that from week to week there is a general improvement—at least it is safe to say no general change for the worse. A very decided improvement cannot be ex- pected until the pus secreting surface is reasonably diminished in size, and for this more time is required than has elapsed since the last incision. You may assure the public that thepresident will recover if they will only wait patiently for the result.” He added, “Now that is as much as you want to know. I do not want you to go away from here and telegraph something that I have never uttered. Read what you have written.” ~ . After his request had been complied with the doctor remarked, “That is all right. You may add it will be reasonable to expect a mprc rapid improvement when the weather becomes a little cooler. The hot weather is one of the greatest difilculties we have to contend against. That is all I have to say. Good night.” . , P. S. The latest Monday evening dispatches re- port the President’s pulse had reached at noon 118, but was gradually subsiding. At 2 p. m. it was down to 111, a decrease of six creasing and the cause of the rise is explain- ed _by.his physicians to be due to irritation in his stomach, which has caused him to vomit several times, but which is deemed more a feature of his old .cnemy dyspepsia, than as connected with his wound. The irritation has been considerably overcome and the pat- ient himself, is still in good heart. The Proposed Shoe Factory. Mr. Shepherd informs us that the project for the Cooperative Shoe Factory, as outlin- ed by us last week. has met with the most encouraging approval with all our business men. One gentleman has . ofiered to' take twelve shares, another ten, one five, and no one yet approached has declined to take at least one share of $100. The prospects are certainly very encouraging for making the enterprise it chooses. But ten thousand dollars in capital is required and that from present appearances,will be easily obtainable. A_ meeting of the Borough Board of Trade is to be held on Thursday morning to con- sider the project further and if possible, to at once conclude and secure the Factory enter- prise. W Gazette Liberty Cap. We are not o’er given to boasting, but we. opinc there are few flag staff surmountings, which for goOd taste and beauty surpass the adornments on top of our Gazsrrn BUlLDING pole. The Liberty Cap is the same which first capped the pole. but the letter points of the Compass and Quill were executed for us by Col. Kellogg, now of the firm of Patter- son & Bros., Park Row, N. Y., and are both appropriate and beautiful. The points are ‘ set with careful accuracy by instrument, so that our town's people may always be sure of “which way the wind- blows.” The pen vane suggests its own appropriateness as symbolic of the character of the newspaper and professional enterprises conducted be- low, and also recalls the old Cardinal‘s fa- mous couplets: "In the hands of men entirely great— The pen is mightier than the sword.” These decorations were raised to their giddy heights on Saturday, under the super- intendance of Eli Beach, of painter’s brush fame, and were placed in position by Henry Britto, who combines the sailor and painter in one. The pole rises forty feet from the apex of the roof, .and being quim flexible it was no easy task to adjust these surmount- iugs, but young Britto stuck to his job until, he had successfully and faithfully accom—‘ plished it. Another had assumed the con- tract but fiunked from the daring enterprise, so that we take especial pleasure in thus emphasizing our indebtedness to , Messrs. Beach and Britto by~ whose courage and skill the daring and ventures'ome enterprise was so finely accomflished. - gags:- PrO-Nro.- The new Robert Emmet Club- announcetheir first annual Pic-nic, at Betts’s Grove. next week Wednesday, 24th inst.

There was a peculiar humid- ityto the cloudy atmosphere that made the darkness almost impenetrable, and although by almanac there was “no moon" to be cal- culated upon, in the earlier part of the night, no street lamps were lighted. A collision between two carriages in" front of Rev. S. B. S. Bissell’s gccurred about eight o’clock, and how many hair breadth escapes we could not begin to report. .Wc may as well be plain abbut the matter. The Borough War- den and the. Burgesses were denounced in turn and by name, with unusual freedom and ' l-tcmpcr. Yet in justice to them, we doubt if they are responsible for the gross neglect of lighting our streets on such a dark night and that a Saturday night, when more than any other, our streets are filled with vehicles and pedestrians: There is a growing feeling among many of our tax payers that gas ought to be substituted by kerosene, at least in those portions of the Borough remote from the Bridge. Such an omission as' Satur— day night will do more to promote such a change than anything that could occur, and we trust that hereafter our street lamps will be lighted when it is dark and not by almanac. ' Camp Meeting. The annual Methodist 'Camp Meeting, at Brooksidc Park, last week, was new largely attended, especially the last part of the week. Norwnl'lr was largely represented, as usual.

Seymour, who has long been seriously ill, died Friday morning at his borne in Litchfield at the age of seventy- seven. He was born in Litchficld, February 9, 1804, and‘gmduated from Yale College in the class of 1824. He was a. member of the legislature in 1842 and 1843; also in 1849 and 1850. The latter year he was elected speaker. In 1851 he was elected a member of Congress from the Fourth district, and was returned two years later, serving four . years in all in the national House of Repre- sentatives. He became a judge of the .su- perior court in 1855. and cOntinued in office until 1863. Judge Seymour was then nomi. noted for governor by his party and suffered defeat. A few years ago he was rc-electcd to the bench as chief justice, and retired up- on reaehing seventy years of age, the con. stitntionai limitation. m Our Churches. Rev.

Early on Fridaynfternoon last the firing of cannon and beating of drums down the harbor announced the safe arrival of the Neptune club. Their fine schooner .soon arrived at Hill’s wharf and the cruise of 1881 was ended, The boys report one of the best trips yet made,—the last trip made is notoriously always the best,—a'nd were de- lighted with the’ vessel, the weather, the places they visited, the friends they made and the sights they witnessed. They started with many strangers and return—a Mutual Admiration Society. ~ Circumstances often necessitated changes in their programme. They had abundant opportunity for enjoying the delights inci- dent to life on the ocean wave “off Point J udith,” but yet there were some,even there, who believed that “we never are, but' always to be blest,” and cast longing" looks behind at Watch Hill, or forward to the prospective delights of Newport. At the latter place they were fog bound—but where is there a more delightful place even to be fog-bound in? It is a thousand times better than Tar- paulin Cove. Then the codfish banks and the outside trip had to be given up—but who cared for that? Then nfter Nantucket shoals had been safely crossed, it was deem- ed unsafe to attempt to enter the harbor, but we fear that the retreat upon Oak Bluffs was really considered an advance by the younger members who cared more for the beauties of Cotiagc city than all the delights of quaint Nantucket. But to others this must have been a keen disppointmcnt, for of all the isles of the sen upon the New England coast there are few equalling in attractiveness good old Nantucket. The stay at Cottage City was delightful—for who can withstand its novelty, its pleasures and ever-recurring delights of sea and shore? When fairly started for-.llome it was realized for the first time that the vessel was not a steamer; time flies faster to homeward bound voyagcrs than to others. The wind in the Sound was light, but the vessel steadily gained, and finally entered the harbor. Ex-Vicc Commodore H'. W. Lester and Lieut. Ferd. B. Smith recently made a trip to Boston, and thence to Martha’s Vineyard, where they joined the Neptune club for sev- eral days. While they were there a party was made up for bluefishing on the south shore. The fishing prizes offered by the club were captured as follows: Fcr heaviest fish, ten pounds, A. J. Crofut, cup; for greatest number of fish, Ferd. B. Smith, ornamental napkin'ring; for smallest fish, three pounds, Chaplain Taylor, ornamental thermometer. Returning to New York, Messrs. Smith and Lester visited Coney Island. ‘ DISAPPOINTED.-—-Oll . Friday, of last week, the schooner David Carr, from Norwnlk, Conn., with the Neptune Club on board,- came to anchor off the bar; but it was as- certained that the vessel drew too much water to allow of her coming into the harbor, consequently, the anchor was reluctantly weighed, and she proceeded to Edgnrtown. On Tuesday several of “the boys” ran down here on the steamer to renew old acquaint- ances, among them being Mr. Andrew J. Crofut, of South Norwalk. Conn., who made us a call, expressing regret that their plans had been so sadly interfered with. Another company of the club came down on the Monohanset. Wednesday, among them being Commodore C. H. Tompkins, whose cheer- ful face appeared in at our sanctum door just previous to noon, and we settled down for a “gem" with our old friend. who had not recovered, from the disappointment, of being shutoff from the contemplated visit to this place which had been uppermost in his mind for weeks. “They all know me down here,” he said, “and I’m dreadful sorry we have been obliged to go by? another sea- son. We were going to have a hifalutin’ time, too.” It has been a disappointment for him from the start, for besides losing his visit to , this place, he was completely broken down by attending the fox hunt at Katamn. We cheered him up as best we could, promising more water on the bar an- other ycar,‘and the commodore bade us fare-' well feeling a little more .cheerful. Our people regret as much as the club their absence here during the week. But try again another season. boys, and bring yourselves in a lighter-draught vessel.-—Nantucket Mirror.

M.»— We have heard a faint whisper that possi- bly Bylngton might come to Bridgeport and start a live Republican newspaper. What a godsend that would be to Republicanism and good journalism in this suffering city.— 81m. The ab0ve is all news to us, and “if the courtlunderstunds herself, and she thinks she do,” there are'in itsE opinion, about as many papers of the “tramp” species already in Bridgeport, as can possibly wring fortunes out of the suffering people of that lively lit- tle city. Here in Norwalk where one such. paper seems to be required to every dozen of population, it is different and the field is still open to a score or so more papers,pamphlcts, tracts, cards. etc. ,. to accommodate the Nor- walk business man’s vast capacity for adver- tising inéuseless places. - #3: On Wednesday, after three weeks of ty- phoid fever, Charles F.

It has become a fixture on the stage, and this season there are at least three good companies producing it “with varia- tions.” Last night the Jay Rial company appeared at Music Hall. Next Monday even- ing Robinson’s “Colossal” Trick Company will make the people roar at the Opera House. The New York Herald, in speaking of this company says : “Probably no traveling Pantomime or Specialty Company on earth ever commanded such vast audiences, or achieved so wide and popular a re utation, as the troupe of Col. Robinson. 0]. R. and his artists are known today throughout the whole length and breadth of the United States. This is the only troupe suppOrting four clowns,two pan- tsloons, two columbincs and two harlequins." A most popular feature of this company is their free show before the Hall nightly, without price. ——--—O—¢.

' Reunion of‘ the Old. 5th C. V. The annual Reunion of the old Fifth Regiment C. V., was held at Seaside Park on Tuesday last, the anniversary of the battle of Cedar Mountain. The day was pleasant, and the affair passed off pleasantly. Every company was represented, there being about sixty veterans altogether in attendance. At the business meeting Captain D. B. Hamil- ton, of Waterbury, acted as president, and Rufus Mead, of Greenwich, as secretary. Letters were read from a number of officeris and men' unable to attend, and speeches were made by Captain "Marvin and Sergeant Lewis of Hartford, Judge A. B. Beers of Bridgeport and others. It was voted to hold the next annual reunion at Osprey beach, New London. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows ': Presi- dent, Capts'yl H. P. Rugg, of Bridgeport; vice-president ev. Horace Winslow of Sims- bury; secretary, James Forsoth of Hartford; executive committe, ColOnel Warner and W. W. Parker of Mystic River, George W. Meeker of New London, Perry P. Wilson Of Putnam.

White, U. S. A. was this after- noon committed to earth at Wilton. Dr. White had a splendid war record, it was his lot during the memorable seven days fight on the James River to furnish the supremest test of courage, for in the discharge of his dutyhc was caught without weapons in his hands, save the merciful implements of his profession, between the hostile lines and there while striving to mitigate the terrible consequences of war he was exposed to shot and shell. During a long intimacy no ment- ion of this ever escaped his life,,but so it was written. A quiet earnest noble man, a tender father, an affectionat husband, a devoted friend, and faithful citizen is missing from among us— no smaller share of virtue has be taken away from us to his eternal home. His relatives and friends are poorer, the world is poorer because he has gone ; if however we will earnestly consider and imitate his illustrious example the world may at last he made richer and brighter, and the loss shall be not lasting but temporary.

Their system of marking all goods in plain figures, at low and uniform'prices, their constant aim to present a succession of special bargains, their gentlemanly clerks, their attractive salesludies. and well ventilated and pleasantly lighted store, combined with the best assorted and cheapest stock of goods in Bridgeport, make it one of the most attractive places for shopping in the state.

But no more will be made with shells in such demand as at present. Dealers think that next year they will have to bring shells from Baltimore.
