The“ past week in Congress has been one of
the most interesting of the session. In the
House, the Mormon and Chinese bills have
been the 'most exciting topics of debate.
The Mormon bill, has passed and hereafter
no delegate, guilty of the disgusting practices
of a polygamous life, can hope to hold a seat
in that‘body. . The prompt passage of the
bill, is a conspicuous illustration of the power
of public opinioii.. The democrats, ‘ as a
political body were on the sidoof the MOI-I
mons, almost to a man and other members
whose private lives were not above reproach
and who passedthc issue by as a vulgar joke,
were by force of public sentiment, in mnny
instances, induced to resolutely champion
the bill and espouse the decent side of the
issue. ,
JOHN CHINAMAN.
If John Chinaman must not go, he is not
to be permitted to come to our shores, as a
laborer, for the next score years. John has
developed so poorly as a voter, that both
political parties in the Pacific states aIe
“agin” the Chinee. He 'would persist in
minding his own business, keeping sober and
civil, working for low wages, living economi-
cally and paying for the little he purchased
and not voting, hence how» could he he tole-
rated by our other foreign elements and
politicians seeking pliant voting timber.
run arms.
The subject of the Tarifi Commission as
submitted by our Mr. Eaton during the last
of his senatorial term was taken up and ably
. discussed in the Senate. The democrats
have been in a worry all the winter as how
best to reduce the tax on whiskey and
tobacco. Somehow they ‘ seem impressed
with the idea that this taxation bears an-
equally and is practically burdensome upon
democrats. General Logan made an elabo-
rate argument pleading for its perpetual con-
tinuance and that the revenues derived
therefrom be. forever distributed pro rate
among the states for the support of popular
educationin allthe states of the Union. The
taxes on these two articles are high, but cer-
tainly as regards whiskey, it is confessed to
be an article, the common use of which is
conducive of evil only, and the high tax is
designed as a penalty upon its sale as well as
a source of revenue. No one is compelled to_
bear the tax on either article. No one but
would be the better for not indulging in the
use of either. Therefore the tax, however
high, cannot but be a voluntarily assumed
0110. Moreover the taxation of whiskey and
tobacco is the only possible way that any
portion of the enormous burdens of the war,
can be laid upon a certain class of “beats”
and “hammers," who evade all other modes
of reaching them in the‘way of taxation.
The tax of whiskey and tobacco resches
down to the slumspand is the most thorough-
ly collected of all our national revenue
taxes.
In a running debate yesterday, Senator
Beck of Kentucky, who is‘ a red-hot free
trade man; asked Senator Sherman to explain
why it was that at Windsor, Canada, right
opposite Detroitfdlm‘an could rent a better
house for six dollars a month, and get a
better suit of 'clothes'forten dollars, than he
could for double that amount right across
the ferry in Detroit. M_r_',‘IS_herman promptly
replied that it was for the very same’reason
that Windsor was a little one hopes town and
Detroit a rich and.thrifty city. That the
laboring man could get more than double
the wages in Detroit he could in Canada, and
live everyway more comfortably, even if he
did have to pay a little more for the‘necessi-
ties of life. General Frye also stated that in
Maine, hundreds of Canadians came down to
work in his state, but a’ Maine yankee was
never known to go up to Canada to work
and all because of our protective tariff, which
ensures better wages, more comforts and
' better living. The debate will continue next
week. and it is more than likely that both
our senators will be drawn into the debate
before it is concluded.
wnsns: Is was. II. Barnum?
The newspaper wise-acres reported when
our Ex-Senator Barnum was here, that he
had been sent by Mr. Tilden, to coaxGen.
Rosecrans to take himself out of the way and
allow representative Flower to be elected
chairman of the congressional democratic
committe, on the ground that he could un-
hoop a “biger bar’l.” We had democratic
assurances that there way many grains of
truth in the goasip yet as usual, with such
testimony, the facts show its fallacy. The
California representative was chosen'for the
head of the committee, apparently without
a struggle, and he was afterwards unani-
mously elected chairman of the sub or’
executive committee of seven to co-operatc
with a similar committee already selected by
the democratic members of the Senate. The
appointment gives—satisfaction to the repub-
licans, but was unquestionably a disappoint-
ment to Messrs. Barnum and Flower. '

bought of the New York Mutual Life insur-
ance Company, for $32,000, and on very
easy terms of payment, although generally .
esteemed here to be worth fully $50,000. It
is admirably fitted for the purposes of the
Y. M. 0. A5, and a double good is efiected by
its transfer. . _
. ,m ADMISSION or DAKOTA.
The Senate Committee on Territories yes-
terday adopted the House Committee’s bill
for the admission of Dakota as a State as a
substitute for the Senate bill. An amend-
ment agreed upon by the committee provides
more clearly for the transfer of the present
Territorial officers to what will be the Terri-
tory of North Dakota if the southern part be
admitted as a State. '

‘ Among the bills introduced and referred
in the Senate yesterday were the following:
For the erection of a public building for the
use of the Geological Survey ; for the print-
ing of 30,000 copies of the memorial address
outhe life and death of James A. Garfield,
late President of the Unith States, delivered
by James G. Blaine before the two Houses
of Congress, with -thc pioceedings on that
occasion (10,000 for the Senate and 20,000
for the House), and the printing to accom-
- pany the same of the memorial card pre-
pared by the bureau of engraving and print:

The Speaker laid before the House yester-
day a communication from the Secretary of
War, transmitting in response to a resolution
ofiered by’Mr. King of Louisiana, estimates
of the number of people made destitute by
the ovérflow of the Mississippi river and its
tributariesand'thetime for which the neces-
sity of Congressional aid will continue.’ The
committee estimate the number otI. persons
rendered destitute at 85,000, as follows:
Missouri, 2,200; Illinois; 2,000; Kentucky,
300; Tennessee, 5,000; Mississippi, 30,000;
Arkansas, 20,000; Louisiana, 25 000, and
statesihat 713,000 rations have been distrib-
uted. ffI‘hel‘cdmmunication further states that
the appropriation already made is sufficient
to pur‘éhkse’SOOflOO rations of a- substantial
kind, and estimates that the supply will be
exhausted'i'n Arkansas, Mississippi and Lou-
' isiana about'thc 21st instant.‘ No estimate
this bill
can be made of the time during which the
necessity for Congressional aid will continue.

The House Committee on Posi-ofilees and
Post Roads had under consideration yester-
Mr..Bin ham’s bill to modify the postal -
groyney ordergsystem. The main features of

Admiral Porter, Commander Evans, United
States Navy, and others on board the torpedo
boat Alarm, steamed down' the Potomac
yesterday as far as Mt. 'Vernon, when a
number of tests of surface and submarine
torpedoes were made. .The party returned
about 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon. The
Alarm is provided with Major Mallory’s
steering and propeller wheel, and he and his

VICTORY 1x MAINE.
The Maine delegation is much elated over
the fact that the Republicans have been mak-
ingaclean'sweep in the spring town elec—
tions in Maine. The essential point in this
result is the fact that the Democratic Green-
backcr coalition has been practically annihi-
lated. .
nsnucrmx or POSTAGE.
The bills for the reduction of postage were
considered at the meeting. of the House Pos-
tal Committee yesterday, and is to report
whether the Government should reduce let-
ter postage to two cents for half an ounce or
maintain the‘present rate and increase the
weight to one ounce; also whether it would
be well to authorize a two-cent postal card.

that the postal receipts are increasing and
that in the March lettings for the far Western
country $100,000 had been saved over last

. SLPATBICK’S DAY.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry R. Treadwell of
'estport, left for their home yesterday. -
Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Jones of Nor-
walk, with Mr. Treadwell’s daughter-in-law,
are still aisiting here.
Ex-Mayor Samuel Daskam is here and
made a mysterious visit to President Arthur-
yesterday. . He has also held private inter-
viewawith Senator Sherman and other lead-
ing Republicans here, and we apprehend fur
ther disaffection in our Norwalk Democratic
ranks. At all events ‘I‘ it 'are a coincidence,”
as the elder Weller would say.
Ex-Senator Eaton has been gazetted by
some one of the unreliable Capitol reporters
as counsel for the Peruvian Company. As
the Senator knows no one connected with
that company, don’t know that there is really
any such company, and has never received
or been promised a “ retainer," it is ,fair to
conclude he isn’t counsel for any such thing.
Hon. Rover Averill and daughter are here.
Mr. A. left Hon. 0. 11. Perry, of Southport,

Entertainments.
This evening the Opera House will be
occupied by the Blanche Roosevelt Concert
Company Of this company, the Hartford
Oozlrant of yesterday says:
* * f‘Those who atten , were regaled
with an unexpected treat. ot a member of
the company but waLfirst class in every
respect, and a programme rich in attractive
numbers, called the most hearty applause
from the audience. Miss. Roosevelt has a
fine voice of fair power and an excellent
method Her best effort, “The Nightingale,”
Called forth an encore which she responded
to with the familiar melody “Swanee River.”
Signorina D‘Arona pleased greatly with her
rich full contralto ’ voice. and was twice re-
called after her song in the second part, re-
sponding with the “Brindisi” from “Lucre-
tia." Mr; Carl Lanzer is a most excellent
iolinist and played his numbers with great
nish, he being also encored. Signor Len-
cioni gave two numbers of the buflo order
which evoked the liveliest expressions of
pleasure. Signor Montegriffo has a fine
tenor wide, a good method, and be was also
obliged to respond to an encore. Miss Lizzie
Priest, the pianist of the company, has a
beautiful touch and played her two numbers
with taste and good execution. It is to be
hoped that this excellent company will again
visit Hartford when they may assure them-
selves of a large and brilliant audience."
A New York paper says that Miss Rooae-
velt is “probably the handsomcst prima
donna on the American stage.”
On Wednesday night, at Music Hall, the
well known Miner 65 Rooney Combination
will’give one of their variety performances. '
Play-goers know that the programme will
“not lack interest and variety, and will be
sure that the various acts will be performed
in the best, manner. The Pittsburg Daily
Post closes up a long notice of this company .
with the following: “ The closing feature of
this brilliant programme were Cronin and
Sullivan, in their own creation entitled ‘ Life
in a Tenement 'House,’ which is one of the
most life-like pieces of comedy which has
ever been produced here. These g ntlemen
have imitators but no equals. _ Mr. Sullivan’g
new 'song, ‘ The Irish Wedding,’ was uproar-
iously received. and he was obliged to repeat
it four different times before the audience
were satisfied. As a whole, this is decidedly
the best vaudeville organization now travel-
ing, and deserves the unprecedented success
it is meeting with everywhere.”
“Our German Senator’.’ will be “elected
by a large majority” again at the Opera
House, next week Monday evening. when
Mr. Gus Williams and his comedy company
will rule the roast. Mr. Williams ought to
be quite familiar withIhis part by this time,
having played it so long. The Philadelphia
Press ’says:—— . '
“This play has before received the stamp
of popular favor in this city, and it has been
improved by the suggestions growing out of
frequent performances. Mr. Williams is an
adept in German dialect dialogue, besides
being an acceptable comic singer and a good
specialistl The dramatic interest of “Our
German Senator" is brought out very strong-
ly, and the performance, as a whole, is very
entertaining.”
The entertainment at the Opera House, on.
Wednesday evening last, for the benefit of
the volunteer members of the 2d M. E.
church choir, was a very enjoyable one and
His a shame that the house was not crowded,
as both the object sought to be benefitted
and the programme provided, deserved a
better reboguition from our people. A very
pleasing feature of the exercises was the
reading of choice selections by Miss' A. Lulu
Raymond/the elocutionist. She was charm-
ingly piquant and attractive, and was de-
servedly applauded for the fine rendering of
the pieces chosen. She could .entertain an
audience an entire evening. It is unneces-
sary to state that the musical part of, the pro-
gramme was rendered to the full satisfaction
of an appreciative audience. -

' The General Railroad Law.
The proposition to amend the general rail-
road law so that no honest corporation,mean-
ing to build a road in the State, will need a
special charter,~inspires the Hartford: Qt”:-
ant to the Igpllowing .most' opportunefind
practical conclusions. Nor can we setsny

interests (nevi s6 gravely embarrassing our
Legislature and threatening the peace of the
State) which will prove so efle‘ctive and just
to all parties, as by perfecting our general
railroad law, in the manner urged by us in
the GAzarrn of the 7th inst., and which is.
here so fully seconded by our friends of the
'Oourant:~
“It is proposed in order to remove all rea-
sonable objectionnthat persons who honestly
desire to construct new railroads through this
State may urge against organizing under the
general railroadJaw, to amend that law in
some particularityintroducing some new priv-
ileges. First, it. jé'proposcd to make the lime
in which the company shall commence work
two years instead of one; second, to allow
the bridging of navigable streams at such
places as the railroad commissioners of the
State may approve, the only restriction being
that the location shall not. be below existing
bridges; third, the issue of bonds shall be
proportional to the amount expended as now
but the evidence of the railroad commission-
crs shall be required in addition to the sim-
ple cvidenm of the constructing engineer and
president of the company as to the amount.
actually expended. The adoption of these
amendments, and possibly others, will make
tholaw snfiicicntly liberal to allow the build-
ing of any road through this State by any am-
bitious-projectors of railroad schemes who
“mean business,” whether they be "shore
lines,” “parallel roads," “bee lines," “in-
la de,” “uplands,” or “air lines.”lPass a
la of this liberal character, and the legisla-
ture will not necessarily be called upon to
listen to long arguments each year upon pe-
titions for new railroad charters, and they
will be saved from listening for an entire ses-
sion to the advice of a “third house” more
numerous than the legislature itself. This
2's the easiest way to settle the whole railroad
- business, sofar as the interests of the public
a re concerned. and these are what the legisla-
ture have in charge.” \
The Bridgeport Standard copies the
Courant’s article with the following sensible
endorsement:—
Thc above suggested changes in the law
would seem to remove all reasonable objec-
tions now existing to it and to énable all
honest organizations to go forward and do
what they desire to-do, without fear or favor.
While there has been a strong feeling in favor
of a Parallel .road stirred up by schemes of
the Consolidated road, there is also a feeling
that it is time that some of the Parallel
schemes cameto a head and demonstrated by
their works that they "meant business.” We
are aware that heretofore the plea has been
urged that such enterprises could not com-
mence under the existing law, and that, for
sary. Let us have such changes in the gen-
eral law as will remove all objections and we
shall then see whether there is any bottom
to the projected “bee line” or not. Nothing
will go so far to justify such a project with
thosewho are still on the fence, as to com-
mence to put it through with the energy and
spirit which show an honesty of purpose and
...n ability to succeed. With such a showing
there will be a very large proportion of. pub-
lic favor and no factions opposition will be
allowed to succeed against it.

The Sentinel says the GAZETTE is working

confidence.
gard for the exact truth that we ,know he
would not otherwise permit the publication
of such bold falsehoods in regard to the po-
sition of the senior 6f the GAzarrn on the
railroad question. As our neighbor could
not have read what we so emphatically said
on the subject, we will republish it for his
benefit: : ' . '
[From the Gazette of March 7th.]
‘4‘ * * That law [‘the General Railroad
Law] as it now stands on the Statute Books,
is a child of ”our Parallel advocates own
begetting. If we were cheated in the law,
we cheated-ourselves in craving ii, in pre-
paring, adopting and aiding in its passage.
We for one, do not propose to plead the baby
act now,and>violate the pledges that were then
made that it should be accepted by the con-
testants, in good faith, and honorably abided
by. ..As stated, the friends of the Parallel
scheme eagerly accepted the law exactly as
it now stands,as a compromise with the New
York and New Haven Railroad Company.
But the spirit of that compromise was that
the law'should prove such an enactment
as under it, any one having the means could
build as many railroads as the prospects of
remunerativc business might warrant. It is
now claimed (by some, not by all,) that ex-
perience has shown that a railroad cannbt be
built without almost insuperable difficulties.
under all the restrictive provisions of our ex-
isting law; If this be so then let the Legis-
lature be pressed to amend the present law so
that the buildingof railroafi may be as free
to capital as the building of steamboats or
the starting of new Natlonai banks or news-
papers. The Connecticut lnw was drafted
substantially from the New York General
Railroad Law. We are told by lawyers,who
ought to know, that the later Massachusetts
General Railroad Law is an improvement on
ours. That under it two years is allowed for
crgarization,aud that permission to bridge
navigable waters is guaranteed, only it. must.
be done under the direction of the State Board
of Railroad'Commissiont-rs. which seems a
judicious and not unreasonable provision.
With the money in hand we believe the Par-
allel can be built under our general law just
as it now is. We know it has many times
been the purpose’of the promotors to thus
build it. We now have Mr. Olmstead’s assur-
ances that if a special charter is denied it
willbe built under the general law. * * We
beg'our legislators to amend the general rail-
road law, if it be inoperative,‘bo that all the
roads that can command the money for
their building, may be constructed. At all
events we entreat the Lcjz'slatz'ce Railroad
Committee to recommend such a law as will
give us the some unrestricted freedom in
building railroads as is given in our joint
stock and other general laws, to all other
kindred enterprises, to the end that the legis-
lature and the people behind it, may be for-
ever. rid of the excitement, demoralization
and nuisance of these annual railroad con-
tests. Do this much.— Messrs. Legislators,
and every honest, disinterested constituent
Will gratefully thank you.
