Legislative Correspondence.
Han-ream), Cr., Jan. 6, 18825
Dear: Gaza'r'rr:
The contest for legislative offices this year
has been unusually barren of interest. The
members began to gather at the Allyn House
and the United States Hotel early on Tues-
day, but found there was no contest except
for the assistant clerkship and minor offices.
During the evening the various caucuses
were held in the Capitol, which was illumi-
nated throughout. All the important nomi-
nations were by acclamation.
Senator Colt, the newly elected President
protem of the Senate, has already made his
mark as a careful and judicious legislator.
The chairmanship of the Judiciary Commit-
ee lies between him and Senator Bradstreet,
who is a very popular and able young lawyer
from Litchfield County. Mr. Charles Perrin,
last year’s House clerk, was promoted to the
Senate and received the usual compliment of
a unanimous election,the democratic senators
making no nomination for this position.
Senator 'Baker will probably act as chair-
man of the Committee on Finance, a position
for which his service as State Treasurer will
especially fit him. Altogether the Senate is
an unusually strong and able body.
Hon. John M. Hall of Windham, the,
newlyelected Speaker, will prove an excel-
lent presiding ofiicer. His address on taking
the chair was a gem of oratory. As he has
temporarily occupied the Speaker’s chair
during previous seesions, his duties are by
no means new to him.
Mr. Chas. P. Woodbury,the asssistant clerk
of last year, was promoted to the clerkship
according to the usual rule. The newly
elected assistant clerk, Mr. Donald G. Per-
kins, is a rising young lawyer of Norwich.
As a whole the House is composed of new
material. «The» leaders on the Republican
"sid'é'fiill' be Messrs. Johnson of'Eufield, Gil-
lette of Waterbury, Ripley and Congdon of
Norwich, Scofield of Stamford, Owen of
Manchester, and Cleveland of Brooklyn.
There is quite a number of young lawyers
who will doubtless develop into excellent
working material, among others are Messrs.
Paige of Sherman, Taylor, of Danbury, Hub-
bell of Wilton, and King of Stafford. The
chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee
will probably go to Mr. Johnson of Enfield,
who besides being an able lawyer has had
extensive experience as a member of the
House. .
The session bids fair to be long and inter-
esting. Railroad matters will demand more
attention than usual. The Danbury road pro-
poses to extend its line to Wilson’s Point;
the Shore Line wishes to bridge the Thames,
and there are projects innumerable for build-
ing air lines between New York and Boston.
The Windham . County court question is
already being agitated. 'There will also be a
spirited contest between the steam and sail
dredgers. ’
There are several portions of the Govern-
ofi message which will demand careful con-
sideration, such as the abolition of justicesr
courts, and the appointment of an alter-
ney general etc. There is also said to be a
project on foot to favor a new county of
Waterbury and the adjacent towns.
The death of Treasurer David P. Nichols
removes a very familiar face from the Capi-
tol; he has served eight years as Represen-
tative and Treasurer, an unusually long term
in this State where public offices rotate so
regularly.
The appointment of Commodore James D.
Smith to fill the vacancy is very acceptable
to all sections of the State.
The election day parade was omitted as a‘
matter of economy, it is said. The Govern-
or’s message was delivered by his secretary
and not by him in person, as has been the
custom.
m
stsns. Entrees z—So-called Newspapers
are very numero'us in old Norwalk, and in
the absence of legitimate local items they
often seek to please their readers with scan-
dalous attacks upon this or that citizen. A
noticeable peculiarity of these papers is,when
one editor airsa private grudge against any
person the rest all jump in and bound the same
individual, until another more . “promising"
victim appears. Just now thesbeditors are
pitching into Frank Foster, simpli\because
he has respectfully asked to be reinstated
upon the police force, and because he hap-
pens to be a Republican. What Foster has
done to bring down so much abuse upon
his head, is more than I know. Possibly he
appeared to some “_editor” or “reporter”
when he was not wanted, and perhaps he
may have invited some of them into the
lock-up. At any rate he is not popular
with them, and that is easy to be seen.
But the people are just as good judges of the
merits of the officers as these gentlemen of
the press, and the public at large fail to see
the faults attributed to Mr. Foster. He has
had long experience, no one doubts his
“pluc ,"and he is ever ready to do his duty.
Warden Hyatt often showed his confidence
in him by putting him on the force. His
application is entitled to fair cpnsideration
from the new Board of Burgesses, and un-
doubtedly will receive it. Fan: PLAY. f

In France, all patent medicines must be

themselves into a National committee which

the itching accompanying the piles as the
only reliable remedy in the market. It is a
poor rule that wont work both ways. 4t50

The discovery of a deserted city, sixty
miles long, cut out of the rocky face of a
winding cliff, rewarded the efforts 0 f Mr.
Stevenson’s Smithsonian Institution explor-
ing party during its researches in New Mex-
ico and Arizona the past season. This is by
far the'most important find yet made among
the ancient haunts of the cliff dwellers.
Some of the houses contain four or five
dwellings, one on top of ,the other, and on'
the plateau above the cliff were found- many
ruins of temples of worship built of well-cut
square stones. A comparison of the collec-
tions of pottery and implements gathered in
the cliff houses by the exploring party with
those obtained, in the Pueblo villages
strengthens the theory that the Pueblo
Indians are the degenerate descendants of
the once powerful race that built the ruined
cities of the plains, and then, retreating before
some more warlike foe, carved out these sin-
gular dwellings on the sheer walls of dizzy
precipices, and found in them, it may be for
centuries, both fortresses and homes. Per-.
haps the hieroglyphic inscriptons seen by Mr.
Stevenson will one day be deciphered and
be found to contain the tragic histoiy of the
wasting away by wars and families of this
ill-fated people who, like the coneys of the
Bible made the rocks their refuge.—New

Letters from the People. \
NORWALK, Jan. 9th, 1882.
To This GAZETTE:
The Seminars account of “The Town
Meeting” and the communication from Re-
wayton I hope will be read by every tax-
payer of Norwalk, and that they ,will inves-
tigate the charges made and consider the ad-
missions. We have allegations and admis-
sions of dereliction of duty by the Selectmen
which demand explanation. First two have
refused or neglected to issue or sign a call
for a meeting upon petition to them, as by
law they are requested to do, and this where
that call is one wherein their employers de-
sire lo say to' them what they desire them to
do and what they expect to pay them for
their- services. Second, that they have urg-
lected to compel “Ben Sturges,” as the ar-
ticle calls him, to disgorge what he has got
belonging to the town. These two charges
have led me to inquire why this dereliction,
and I find that the charges against Sturges
are untrue and that a full ventilation of the
doings of the Selectmen would be made and
the amount and value of their services esti-
mated and fixed. This failure to meet the
people and show reason why they ought not
fix their salary, and attacking Sturges, looks
like the boy who attempted to whip another
boy but got a black eye for his effort, and
when he got a little way off saying that if he
couldn’t whip him he would make faces at
his sister. To fix the salary of the Selectmen
is what the town has done before, and profit-
ably to the town as the records show. In
1879 the Selectmen, Andrew Selleck. Charles
A. Burr and Wm. C. Sammie, received
$999.99 undera limitation fixed by the town,
and they so managed the affairs that the ex-
penses for outside poor were only $3,961.64;
almshouse, $2,075.07; medical attendance, .
3550;,school.visitons, $85; town clerk and
accountant, $382.90; assessors, $454.55 and
Board of Relief, $50, against $5,984.32 for
outside pbor; $2,595.76 for almshouse;
$600 for medical attendance ; $465 for school
visitors; $435.65 for town clerk and accoun-
tant; $485 for assessors and $60 for Board
of Belief in 1881, when the Selectmen drew
$1,514.31 for (the articles say).so jealously
guarding the treasury of the town. But Mr.
Rowayton says the Selectmen had extra ex-
penses on account of the washing of the
public highways and would have us
infer that they repaired them. , At this in-
ference I think. the people will smile, for
worse roads couldn’t be found in Fairfield
County than the roads of Norwalk last year.
Their close watch of the treasury prevented
them from seeing them, I suppose. The cit-
izens of Stamford ought to read the Sentinel
so as to see the “absurdity” of their action in
doing just what Mr. Hill’s resolution pro-
posed. The Sage of Rowayton would un-
doubtedly be looked up to as an oracle for
discerning and showing the absurdity of
their action in selecting which of their citi-
zens they desired to have most to do in the
management of their affairs. Business men
who have thought it right, just and necessary
to direct which of their employee shall per-
form certaiu labors for them and fix their
compensation, will 0) when they see the
absurdity of such a course, hereafter allow
their employee to select of their own num-
ber who shall do this or that service and fix
their own pay. This truly is an awakening
to a business millennium. To the Sage of Ro-
wayton and the other champions of the der-
elict Selectmen belongs the honor of the dis-
covery of this new business principle. I fear,
however, that the benighted business men
will fail to appreciate the worth of this illus-
trious citizen’s discovery and cling to the
old notions, and I believe that at the next
town meeting they inaugurate a new system
as to the management of town affairs, pat-
terned after their own management of their
private affairs. The result will, in a few.
years, reduce the number of figures required
to express the amount of the town debt.
Will the Sage or any other citizen tell us
why, if Ben Sturges owes the town, the debt
has not been collected? Will the old board
of Selectmen tell us why they did not accept
Mr. Sturges’e offer when he desired to sub-
mit to arbitration the differences between
himself and the town and agreed to enter
into a bond to pay the town anything the ar-
bitrators should find against him if the town
would agree to pay him what the arbitrators
should fifid due him, if they found anything
due. It seems to me that if he owed the town
that the watch dogs of the treasury held the
door too tight when they thus prevented from
going into it what the Sage says he owed.
Were they afraid that such men as Representf,
alive Thomas Sanford, of Redding, County
Commissioner Nathan M. Belden, of Wilton,
and J udge of Probate S. B. Sherwood, of
Westport, to whom Mr. Sturges offered to
submit the question. were so venal as to be
controlled by wire-pullers or paupers against
whose onslaught upon the treasury the Sage
says they watched so gallantly?
Now are the Selectmen afraid to talk with
their employers as to the compensation they
shall receive? Is that the reason they did
not sign the call for the meeting ? Do they
or their champions think that abusing Ben
Sturges will help the cause or prevent a town
meeting determining what is for the best in-
terest of the town? If they do they will find
themselves mistaken, if I do not mistake the
intelligence of the town. I believe that they
ought to he paid well for their services and
that the board last year get no more than a
fair compensation for their services. \As
men I respect them, each one of them; would
vote for them, but at the same time they
should remember that they are but servants,
not masters. I wbuld not in the slightest
sense impugn their honesty, but I have a
right to criticise their judgment. I do not.
believe that a single signer of the petition for
a meeting designed or desired to do any in-
justice to either of the Selectmen, nor do I
believe ,that either Mr. Hill or Mr. Sturges
did. The gentlemen who signed that peti-
tion, representing as they do nearly one-
tenth of the grand list of the town, are not to
be brushed aside by the charge that they are
controlled or influenced by any one. They
were entitledto be heard for their cause, ,and
when met in meeting not one of tli'em would
have voted for any resolution that was not
just and for the best interest of the town.Let
me say to that Selectman with whom Mr.
Olmstead shook hands, that if he does “dis-
approve” that it will not need Mr. Sturges
to dispatch him politicallyif he sets out to
carry out _n_i§_‘tdimpproval"'by refusing to
sign‘aveall for a town meeting when [Resent-
ed with a petition signed by the number re-
quired by law, for the act itself will do the
deed. The Selectmen, knowing of a desire
of such a representation of the tax-payers for
a meeting, ought not wait for any other pc-
tition to compel them to calla meeting, but
should at once call a meeting.
Yours, A. B. C.

have appropriated $50,000 in the purchase
of coal at wholesale prices, which is to be
sold to private consumers at cost. The coal

I purchased five bottles of your Hop Bit

ter, and am well pleased with the Bitters.
They did her more good than all the medi—
cine she iras taken for six years.
' WM. T. MOCLURE;
The above is from a very reliable farmer,
whose daughter was in poor health for seven

until she used Hop Bitters. She is now in as
good health as any person in the country.
