great sigh of relief goes u'p'from the farther—

Judge Porter concluded his address Wed-r
ncaday afternoon at three o’clock and it was
proposed that the Court adjourn over till the
next day. The jdry however requestedthat;
they be charged and the case given to them
that evening. This action‘was looked upon
as unfavorable to the prisoner and served as
{forerunner to the verdict that was shortly
given. Judge Coxdisdcondensed his charge
so that its delivery "occupied but an hour and
at four o’clock and forty minutes p. m., the
jury retired for their consultation. During
their absence the Court took a recess Of half
an hour and all awaited the result with
breathlesss expectancy. The jury Only re-
mained out about twenty minutes, then filed
into Court and the foreman amid (the ap-
‘plause of the spectators announced "the ver-
dict of ‘fgui‘ity as indicted.” All , eyes were
then centered on Guiteau, who was seen to
turn pale and sink back into his s‘t with
the cry "God’s blood will be on that jury.” ,
That is my answer to that verdict. Mr.
Scoville then addressed the court, saying,
“Your Honor, I do not desire to forfeit any
rights I may have under the law and practice
in this District. :If there is anything I ought
to do aim to save those rights I would be
indebted to your Honor to indicate it- to me.”
Judge Cox, in reply assured him that be
' should have every opportunity; that. the
charge would be furnished tozhiin. in print,
and he would be accorded all»~the.~=.~tim’e
allowed by law within Which to file his ex-
ceptions, and that he would also be-lentitled
to four days within whichatmmove in arrest
of judgment. ' ' ' - ,1
The-Judge then turned.to the jury and
said: “Gentlemen of the jury I cannot im-
press too many thanks for the: manner in
which you have "discharged your duty.
You have richly merited the thanks of your
countrymen, and I" feel assured that you will
take with you to yourhomes the approvnl
of your consciences. With thanks, gentle-
men of the jury, I dismiss you.” _ '
With this \hnnou‘ncement the court was
declared ’adjourned, ‘and the 'now famous‘
trail, which has absorbed the public interest
and attention for none than ten weeks, was
ended. ,

The Washington P0}! in ,an editorial on
Thursday, says: Although a wide spread
- sentiment has been developed which believed
that Guitcau was insane, and though a much
larger propdrtion hoped this would be the,
conclusion, the verdict will be quite gener-
ally accepted as a just one“ A. belief has
grown up during the past few years that the
defense of insanity has been abused; that
through it many crimes have" gone unaveng—
ed; that the protection due society has been
weakened, and that by its operations many
desperate men have been turned .-loosc upon
the world. The prisoner in this case shows
such an almOst phenomenal keenness that the
public mind, little given to quibbles, has
never been ready to concede that hecould
possess such qualities and at the same time
her know on the 2d of July that he‘was com-
mitting a dastardly crime. All_tliese con-
siderations added to the recollection of the
station and the sufferings of the victim, have
tendedto smother the growth of those senti-
mental ideas so common in the public treat-
ment of criminals, Probably never before
has there been’a menu which some person
of standing in the community has not come
forward to condolc with the prisoner or to
render assistance or encouragement, pecu-
niary or‘sympsthetic.‘ Of this there has been
an entire lack, and .
the beginning of a decline in what is usually
termed maudlin sentiment in the treatment
of murders.
GOVERNMENT INTEREST.
First Controller Lawrence has informed
W. T. Hill, late postmaster at. Econ, Clark
county, Ohio, who had applied for relief in
that respect, that the government never pays
interest except as in the case of government
bonds or other cases where by express cOn-
tract is agreed to do so. Every' few days
some one having a claim against the govern-
ment writes here with exaggerated ideas as
the enormous amount of accumulated“ inter—
est that niust be due the claimant. It should
be understood that the National Government:
mar pays interest on pensions or any ordi-
nary claim. , .

The COmmissioner of Pensions has issued
the following rulings governing the issue of
pensions: “When it is shown that a soldier
was captured in the line or duty and'it ap-
pears that he was‘°afterward an inmate Of a
rebel prison and has not since been heard
from, his *death shall be presumed: to have
occurred in the service and line of duty and
the day after he was se'en or heard from,may
be accepted as the dated death. When it.
appears that the‘ soldier was sound at the date
of his release from rebel prison, the origin of
said disabilitynnay he assumed to have been
in the service rind in line of duty, provided
said disease was incident to the service, or to
sucthiprisonment.” _
Abill has been introduced into the House
authorizing the Secretory of the Interior to
place, on the pension roll of the United
States, upon application and proof being
made to the satisfaction of the Department,
all honorably discharged soldiers and sailors
of the Federal army and navy who during
the late war were captured and confined six
months 'or more in' any of the prisons of the
Confederate States, and who- are not now
beneficiiiriehmr'cntitled to become sounder
existing pension laws. The bill provides
that the'rate of pension shall begin from the
date of the discharge of the soldier or sailor,
at the rate of $8 per month in cases where
the term of imprisonment shall have been
more than six months and less than on; year
and one dollar per month additional for each
fall mOnthiof such iinprisOnment in excess
of one year. '~ _,_.
Other-"bills relating to pensions have been
introduced as follows : .
To pension soldiers of the late war who
were confined ,in so called Confederate pris.

To fix at $37.50pcr month the pension of

it to Comptroller Knox, who has had the
. necessary blanks sent to South Norwalk ‘to
be filled out, tire. When these are duly exe-
cuted and returned, together with such an
amount of bonds as the new organization
desires to bank on, authority will be given
to commence business, although it willztake
.some thirty .days before the department here
- can get their bills engraved and printed. The
title of the bank will be “ The City National
Bank of South Ndrwalk.” The appliCation
was signed in the following order by R. H.
Ilowan,Christian Swarlz, Jolui ll. Knapp,
A. J. Crofut and J. M. Layton. It applies
’ror a charter with a capital of $100,000, but
-it is probable that not more than $50,000 in
bonds will be sent on at. the beginning, upon
which $45,000 in currency will bc_issued.
Should the whole hundred thousand in bonds
be sent theii $100,000 in bills will be printed
and forwarded them.‘ The prospects are
here represented to be unusually favorable
for the new organization, and some Of its
friends are enthusiastic enough to express the
belief “that the First National Bank may dis-
cbntinue business upon the expiration of its
charter, which has not long to run. It is
indeed possible that Mr. Ely may be able to
find far more remunerative channels for his
charter expires, but if not he will not find it
difficult, we opine, to get it reneWed or ex-
tended“'under some one of the numerous
laws, now in contemplation. to accommodate
the many lapsing charters of the older Na-
tional Banks. 2 ‘ _

' The persuasive Brandageewas here recent-
ly and got the question of the desirability of
a railroad drawbridge across the Thames
river between'jthe embryo navy yard and .the
sea, referr'éd to ii commission Of naval ex-
perts. They reported, as was desired and
'proper, that. such a bridge would be of no
especial help to the navy yard. Thereupon
Editor and Collector Tibbitts, made his
presence felt at the Navy Department, last
week, and ex-Congressman S. W. Kellogg,-
and the “silvery tongued" mayor, Tom.
Waller, raided the same department of punk
and dried hulks, this week. The result is
the Secretary of the Navy has agreed toa

whenever both parties to the bridge contest
will agree upon the time. The entire Con-
necticut congressional delegation have been
variously plied to induce them to mix in the
fray, by friends on both sides of the issue,

our senators and members have wisely con-
cluded to have nothing to do with the matter
on either side.
I run PATENT orrion.
The President has been greatly embarrass-
ed by the unexpected turning u of ex-Com-
mission'er‘Marble who has mad an earnest
appeal to him to be allowed to withdraw his
resignation and resume his old position as
commissioner of Patents again. Neverthe-
less, there is still good reason ‘to hope and
believe that Hon. Charles E.rMitchcll, the
Conn, will be appointed. Mr. Mitchell is
not an applicant and has never sought the
omce, but the office has sought him. No man
wss ever more earnestly or influentially en-
do'i‘sed, and no man is better 'fitted for the
place. Indeed, the high attainments in pat-
ent law and practice and the unsWerving in
te'grity of Mr. Mitchell are qualities especial-
ly needed just now in that very important
branch of the public service. There is is
marked fitness. tee, in the commissionership
being accorded to Connecticut, the state that
exceeds all others in the per capita number
of inventors by fully eight per cent.
AN IMPORTANT BULING. .
Messrs. J. &T. Cousins,Norwalk's former
shoe manufacturers, got hold of a bad cus-
tomer in one of our Washington Israelites.
Some time ago they shipped a consignment
of goods to a party here, ‘and after they had
been delivered received intelligence that the
party to whomthey were sent was contem-
plating a maneuver common to the people of
hand to make over to friendly parties the
major ,par‘t'of the stock and thengo into
bankruptcy to avoid full"payment. Messrs.
Cousins immediately instituted proceedings
to protect themselves and prevent the assign-
ment of or otherdispbsal of the goods. In
the Equity Court‘syesterday,’ a ruling was
made in the case. - The bill filed by Messrs.
Cousins alleged'tliat the defendants had ob-
tained the goods from them by misrepresent-
ation and in‘ furtherance of a scheme of
future insolvency, that the goods were 'pur-
chased with the intent of not payingffor.
assignment for the benefit of certain prefer-
r'cd creditors. The mini; held that if goods
are purchased with the fraudlent intent. as
aforesaid, the title to them does not pass to
the purchaser hilt the vendor can retake them
wherever he find the goods, and a prima
facie case'being made out from the billand
the defendants answers, he would grant an
injunction reslgaining defendants from in any
way disposing or interfering with the grinds.

Mr. Blaine has settled upon Monday even;
ing, the 27th proximo, as the time when he
will deliver the Garfield eulogyflii the Hall
of the House of Reprenentatives. '
In many, perhaps a majority of cases, the
culogies delivered in Congress upon deceased
members are merely a matter of form, and
the words of reverence and esteem prOceed
only from the lips. But this was not true as
to the late Senator Burnside. His former
associates felt all they expressed with regard
to him.» The address of Senator Anthony
was most touchingly eloquent and beautiful.
He and the lamented Burnside were as inti-
mate and loving as brothers, and used fre-
quently to‘be hailed as,“ Cliang and Eng)",
when walking arm in arm together as loving-
ly as a bride and her spouse. Probably Sena-
‘ tor Anthony was Geri. Burnsidc’s most sin-
cerc and sorrow-stricken mourner.

can never tell just when to expect the arri-

venience to the Borough public for they can-
not be going or sending two miles everyday

One is that everything at South Norwalk is‘

CUT LEGIILATURE.
HARTFORD, Conn.,,Jan. 24th.-The much
talked of new railway enterprise for a fast
line betweensNew Yorknnd Boston has got
-into shape for Legislative action in Connsct—
icut, and the following petition was filed in
the Secretary of State's office, this afternooa=
“ The petition of the undersigned respect-
fully represents that the construction of a
railroadfroui the New, York State line, at
some point in the town of Greenwich,
through said Greenwich, Stamford. Norwalk,
andBridgcport to Newe-Havenmnd thence
in ii north—easterly direction through the
counties of New Haven and hiiddlescx to
the Connecticut river at or near Middletown,
and thence in the same general direction .
through the counties of Middlesex, 'l‘olhinu,
New London, and Windham lo the Massa-
chusetts or Rhode Island State line in the
town of Thompson, Putnam, or Killingiy;
also the construction of a railroad from New
Haven, in ii general easterly direction,
through the towns of East Haven, Branford,
Guilt‘ordi and Madison, in New Haven county
and in'Middlesex county, to the Connecticut
River at or near Essex, and thence in as di-
rect a line as may be to the town of Nor-
wich, and thence to the line of Rhode Is-
land, in the town of Voluntowu or Stirling;
said railroads to cross all navigable waters
upon their respective lines by bridges with
suitable draws; is greatly demnnded for the
accommodation of public travel and the
transportation of freight. Your petitioners
therefore ask for an act of incorporation
authorizing and-empowering them. and such
suitable persons as are and may.be associa-
ted with them, to construct a railroad upon
each of the lincs_hereiubefore described.”
The signers of the petition are the Hon.
Marshall Jewell, of Hartford; J. E. Red-
field of Essex; Charles Mitchell, of New
Haven; Charles L. Smith. of Stamford, of
the firm of George C. Richardson & Co.,
and manager of the New York _,end of their
business, and Henry R. Towne, President of
the Yale Lock Company, of Stamford. All
matters relating to the surveys for the new.
road and the necessity for its construction
will be laid before the Legislature. Mr.
Jewell, when asked today about the project,
said the gentlemen who are back of it are
fortified with plenty of capital and mean
business, and they believe the charter asked
for will be granted, which will insure the
buildingof the road on one ofthe two_routcs
indicated. The names of the corporators
will be submitted when a formal resolution
is introduced in_the General Assembly.
Our readers will remember that we alluded
to this project some eight or ten weeks since,
or to that part of the line that would pass
through a section of this State now poorly
supplied with railroad facilities. The South-
ern diverging line of this new project; guns
from New Haven to Fair Haven and thrOugh
the second tier of towns from the sound, be-
.tween Fair Haven and the Connecticut river,
where it crosses the river between Essex and
Deep River, between five and six miles above
the bridge at Saybrook, thence ' through a"
valley to Norwich, and from Norwich to
West Providence, where it connects with the
Boston and Providence Railroad,thus making
to Boston. A glance at the map will show.
that the line is one that will accommodate a
large section of the state that are now. quite
distant from any existing line of railroad, and
that Norwich and the 'towns between that
city and the state line of Rhode Island and
between Norwich and New .Haven will be
greatly bencfitted by the construction of this
line of road. That portion of the road that
connects with the .Valley road at 'Or near
Middletown will give a direct and competing
line via Middletown, Hartford and'Spring.
'field to Boston, forming two independent"
lines between New Haven and Boston, and a
new line from New York ‘to New Haven,
thus affording the traveling public a choice
of routes, lower fares and quicker time. The
readiness with which the legislature of this
state has granted during the past twenty
years all the charters for railroads, that have
been applied for except between the western
line of this state and New Haven and most
of such charters granted being for competing
lines. with than existing roads, leads to the
inquiry why have our legislators so acted?
The answer, we are sorry to say is, that it
has been through the use of money, and it is'
well understood that money has been offered
to members of both houses to secure their
speech and votes to defeat such applications
for charters from the state line to New Ha-
ven, and in one case the sum offered a sen-
ator for his vote, was not paltry hundreds of
dollags, but reached thousands! Is this
method again to be revived with reference to
this new application? We hope not, and we
when members of the General Assembly can
be bought and sold, and that the present leg—
‘ islature will grant the’application for the
new line and thus plit all parts of the state
on equal footing with regard to competing
lines of railroads. __
This paid for legislation, which has pre-.
vented the building of such competing line,
has greatly retarded the growth of ‘this
state, both in population and in its manu-
facturing interests, in consequence of the
higher rates for passenger fares and freights
to points,in this state. than have existed on
lines of railroads in the states of, New 'York
and New Jersey, terminating in, or opposite
New York City. We hope and trust that
the present legislature will grant the charter
asked for, and also repeal that 'portion of the
sectionwf ‘the frea- or general railroad law,
which requires an application to the General
Assembly, for authority for “bridging of
navigable waters" which portion was , in_.
carted in said section by a species of trickery
only known to “artful dodgers,” and which
has left parties desirous of- building a com-
peting line between New York and New
Haven,'to the 'tender mercies _of a series of
legislatures that have had ‘such humane
views with regard to the “widow and
orphan” stockholders of one road, while their
hdmanity did not see that other poor widow
and orphan stockholders in other'roads would
suffer in consequence of 'competiiig lines 0‘
road which they readily-voted to charter.

._ The Opera House.
We are glad to state that the improve-
ments of the Opera House have all been com-
pleted in the tilde specified, .and that the
Hall will be in readiness far the admission of
,the public on the opening night, as advertis-
ed. To accomplish this end has been no easy
'task. Promptly on Monday, the 2nd of
January, although a holiday, the work com-
menced, and during the month carpenters,
painters, plumbers, etc., have been hard at
work carrying out the plans, all seemingly
working together in perfect harmony. Mr.
Golding had charge _of the carpenter work,
and pushed it forward to completion in a
very satisfactory manner. Mr. Prowitt gave
his personal attention to the frescoing and
painting, and under, his direction the work
did not drag. Mr. Schnell, the fresco artist,
painted tin ceiling, assisted in his work by
Horace Burr,whose decorative work is found
in so many of our residences. Mr. Glover
attended to the pipe laying. and the new ar-.
rangemcnt of the gas pipes by which nearly
all lights can be managed by one man on the
stage, without stirring from his posit'pn, is a
great improvement. The stage has been
greatly enlarged without interfering much
with the seating capacity of the Hall. The
dressing rooms have also been enlarged and
improved, and fitted with modern cOnvcn-
iences. The stage entrance has been reopen-
ed and widened, and a stove is to be placed
behind the scenes fully protected. There
are water pipes-on both sides of the stage
and on the south side a line of hose is attach-
ed ready for instant use. The private
boxes have been refitted in fine style. The
orchestra, or floor of the Hall, has been re-
seated with , cane-seat chairs fastened to-
gether like settees. The putting of them to-
gether was no little job, requiring the use of
5,000,screws. The chairs. are of a pretty
style, light in color, and substantially made.
The painting is .in bright, cheerful colors,
giving the Hall a cosey appearance, while
the arrangement of the seats gives a good
view of the stage from all parts of the Hall.
The owners have been to large expense in
making all these improvements for the grati-
fication of the public, and we feel sure that
our citizens will appreciate their efforts to
please. .

Entertainments.
On Wednesday morning last there was a '
rush for seats for the Bigelow Battalion
Entertainment which is to take place to-
morrow evening at the Opera House. Seats
went off like hot cakes and a little faster.
One person secured thirty at one time, and
his friends are comfortably fixed with choice
seats. Before the rush subsided a large pro-
portion of seats were taken. It should be
understood, however, that under the new
arrangement and seating of the Hall, that all
seats command a good view of the stage and
all are new and comfortable, therefore there
are still good seats remaining unsold: The
sale of seats is evidence that the “Opening
Night” will find assembled one of the largest
and finest audiences ever gathered in the‘
Opera House. ' v
' lN’ext Saturday evening, at Music Hafiour
citizens are to be favored with an entertain-
ment by “Helen Potter’s Pleiades,” under
the auspices of the South Norwalk Baptist
church, and 'for the benefit of their Building
fund. The Baptist 'Socicty propose raising
among themselves the sum of $1,00’to pay
on a mortgage on the church, and then will
start a building fund and build a new church
when they have raised the necessary fund.
In regard to this entertainment it is entirely
unnecessary for us to commend Miss Potter
in a community where she is so well known,
and where she has' given so many satisfac-
tory entertainments. Her company this
season is altogether different from the one of
lagt year, and we have no doubt is equally
good for her name as manager is sufficient
guarantee of that fact. With seven perform-
ers she will be able to give an unusually
varied and interesting entertainment. Secure
your seats.
Manager Mitchell has secured a great at-
traction for February 7th, upon which date
will appear Mitchell’s Pleasure Party in the
_wgll-knowp comedy entitled “Our Goblins,”
or fun on the Rhine. The piece will be
placed 'on the stage in elegant shape and no
efiorts will be spared to make this one of the
greatest attractions of the season. The'New
York Evening Post says of it :—-"Our Gob-
lins” at Haverley’s Theatre has proved a
great success. It is one of the brightest,
wittiest, and clever-est performances of its
kind ever given here.

Letters from the People.
To THE EDITOR or THE G1izs'rrs:——Why
is it that of all organizations instituted for
the protection of life and property our Fire
Department, as a general thing, receive so
little aid and encouragement? If any body
of men deserves honorable rccagnition surely
it is the brave boys who stand ready, at a
moment’s notice, to risk themselves in the
seems to them a simple
duty. - .
A good water supply, and improved fire
apparatu.are unquestionably excellent safe-
guards against fire, yet of what earthly use
would either water or engines be unless sup-
plemented by the assistance and intelligent
control of the firemen. I am glad to see a
disposition on the part of some of the people
of Norwalk to assist in the entertainment to
be given by the Pioneer H. 6.1 L. 00., on the
8th of February, and I trust other citizens,
equally generous, will testify their apprecia-
tion of the efforts made by the “boys” to re-
plenish their treasury, by giving them a ben-
efit that will convince them of the estimation
in which they are (or ought. to be) held as
guardians of the-public safety.

I understand Mr. James W. Hyatt is an-
applicant for the position of Bank Commis-
sioner. with the probabilities of his appoint-
ment very much in his favor. It is possible
the Republican party has not presented the
name of a better man for the position, if not
I think the Governor would be justified in
_ re-uominating Mr. Hyatt. But if it is true,
as I believe it is, that just as good men, if
not better, have been. recommended to the
Governor, it is not very encouraging to RC-
: publicails to work and spend their money to
elect our party friends to office if the Demo-
crats are to reap all the benefit. If the Gov-
ernondoes appoint Mr. Hyatt ‘all that will be
wanting to fill the hearts of all good Repub-
licans with joy, will be for the present Court
of Burgesses to keep in ofiice the present
democratic policemen, and to fill whatever
vacancies that may occur with just such
men, and the boys will. feel like “rallying
