Dun Guerra :— 2- “ Litti's‘hiswbsen none: in either House of ' Congres this week, and but for the veto of the Chinese Bill by the President, the week ' would have indeed seemed dull. The veto - ‘ Fmsr ASSISTANT Posmas‘rnn-Gmnan. imminent. of the bill was received at the Senate Tues- day afternoon and was immediately laid be- fore that body and read. 'The President in his message stated his objections and reasons therefore, clearly and concisely,ar‘id the read- ing was listened to with marked attention and interest by the entire Senate. The prin- cipal objection of the President is to the 90 years suspension of immigration, which he construesas violative of the Burlingsme ‘ treaty, and as abrcach of national faith, and and without naming any specific period of suspension, suggests that the length of the term should be experimental. There is no doubt but tha‘the veto was a great blow- to the California senators and, members, who had all along been confident that the bill would pass, while the press of the Pacific slope teem with abuse of the President. Baton the other band the east- ern press unite in warm commendation of the veto, and none but can admire the cour- age displayed by the President in adhering to the principles of justice and equity that have characterized his course thus far, even in the performance of this great duty which many a . weaker man would have shrunk from. An attempt was made to override the veto but failed through lack of the requisite two-thirds vote, and Senator Miller then prepared and introduced a bill practically the same as the vetoed one with the exception that it, limited the suspension of immigration to ten instead of twenty years. Other bills have also been introduced fixing various times from seven to sixteen years, but no definite action has as yet been tainn upon any of them. It is believed that the Senate and House will agree, upon the ten years bill and that it will be sent to the President in that shape. ‘ One important. matter that has occupied the attention of Congress is the Presidential Count Bill. It passed the Senate on Monday and has since been passed. by the House. It provides that the Presidential electors of each State shall meet and give their vol'cs on the second Monday in January next following their appointment, at such places as the Legislature of the States may direct; that such State, pursuant to its laws existing on the day fixed for the appointment of the electors, may determine prior to the meeting of the electors any controversy concerning the appointment of all or any of them; that such determination shall be conclusive evi- dence of their lawful title, and shall govern in the count by Congress; that no electoral or votes from any State from ’which but one return hfisbeen received shall be rejected except by the'afllrmative votes of the two Housbs; that if more than one return is re- ceived from a State the votes of those electors who have been appointed by the lawful tribunal of the' State shall be counted, and in the event of‘a question as to which of two or more of suchéState tribunals is the lawful one the votes of the electors appointed by that tribunal which the two houses, acting sepa- ately, shall decide to be the authorized one shall be counted; that in case of an unde- termined contest between two or more elec- tors of a State those votes shall be counted which the two Houses, acting separately, shall decide to be lawful electoral votes. The bill also provides that if the counting of the votes shall not have been completed be- fore the fifth calender day next after the first joint meeting of the two Houses no recess shall be afterward taken by either House un- til the counting is finished.

It is a practi- cal revocation of civibservice order No. 1: Post-Omen DEPARTMENT. ' Osman or WASHINGTON, D. 0., April 5, . T. A. Wmmtnn, Esq, Postmaster, incin- nati, Ohio: Sm : Your letter of 22 ultimo has been duly considered. , The inquiry in regard to whether the Exe- cutive orders, pages 321 and 323, P. L; and Reg., 1870, include employees of post-office, is answered in the negative, unless the em- ployment interfere with the eficient discharge of their duties in the post-office. A post-ofiicc clerk may, under this limita- tion, accept the office of alderman. In regard to the provisions of the order relating to the “ participation in“ political campaigns," so far as they are applicable to postmastera and other employees of this De- partment, I desire to say, the fact that a citi- zen is deemed worthy and competent to fill a public station should- -uot,1'n my judgment, deprive him of any of his rights as a citizen, solong as he does not neglect the duties in- . trusted to him. I believe it is the right'of every man louse his best eflorts to promote by all proper means the success of all public and political measures that will in his judg- ment be beneficial to his country. Earnest- ness in the discharge of their duties as citi- zens should not involve oflensive'uess on the of public servants. On this subject let me quote from the letter of General Arthur, in accepting the nomination tendered him by the Republican convontion at Chicago. His langua e is peculiarly applicable to the inquiry yo make. He says: “ I will add that, by the acceptance of public ofilce, whether high or low, one does not, in my judgment, escape any of his responsibilities as a citizen, or lose or impair any of his rights as a citizen, and that he should enjoy absolute liberty to think and speak and act in political matters according to his own will and conscience, provided only that he hou- orsbiy, faithfully and fully discharge all his official duties.” ’ - ' Within the limit indicated the. public ofil- cer is a free man, socially and politically, with a man’s duties and responsibilities to answer for. Very respectfully, . ' FRANK Barron, First Assistant Postmaster-General. This letter has received almost universal commendation, and we iyartily join in and congratulate Mr. Batten upon the admirable good sense by him displayed. . ‘ saw LONDON.

J eems Mitchell, the live real estate dealer, has been seeing snakes. and it makes one shake to hear him tell the story. , 0n Satur- day last, in company with a Mr. Hull.of Ggenfleld Hill, he went 9 Stamford, near the Darien line, to view some property. On getting over a fence Mr. Hall saw a big black snake, which made its escape. Once in the lot then Mitchell commenced seeing them, first one then four at a time. The party then armed themselves with sticks, and Mitchell's old skill at slaughtering was brought into requisition. The two gentlemen did not stop until they had killed eleven black snakes, the largest of which was five feet long. Then they crossed the road where they killed one more. In an orchard, after- wards, they saw another, and when Mr. kill the snake another go snake darted out. When they reached e road again they found another large snake which somebody else had killed, making fifteen dead snakes left on the field of battle. If the snakes are waking up at this rate spring must certame have come to stay. ‘ Telephonic. The line between Norwalk and Stamford is now in good working order, and on and after the 10th inst. a charge of fifteen Cents will be made for use of the line between the two places, in fact the company have now made that the rate for any and all users from. one town to any point rei'ched by the com- pany outside of the limits of the town in which the user is. The line between Bridge- port and Norwalk is expected to be finished in about four weeks, and this will connect us with nearly all parts of the State. Instru- ments at residences have been reduced from $36 to $30 per year. Stores, factories, etc., however, will probably, about July let, be Astounding! The attempt of the New Haven Jeffersoni- an Club to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of that distinguished statesman was ap- propriately refreshed by letters declining to be present from Gen. Winfield S. Hancock, Bank Commissioner James W. Hyatt and Samuel J. Tilden. ' But the most astounding fact reported concerning that evening is that -Ex-Senator Bowers, Frank Marden, “Long Tom” Sanford and E. S. Cleveland actually consented to “make speeches" on that festive occasiob. Had they left out “01sec" it would have been more easy of belief. large property,.wbich has been the subject of_ some liti ation. . The widow, a second wife, was isshtiaflcd with the provision made for her and sued the estate. Last Fri. day she was paid $20,000, the amount of the ante-nuptial contract. This, with the $5,000 received as a wedding gift frOm her late hus- band audthe $1,500 allowed her during the settlement of the estate, makes $26,500 she has received thus far. It is probable that the litigation will be settled amicably. The daughter of Mr. Gu died about a fortnight sincennd left a wi l in which she bequeathes to Charles L. Rockwell, the cash- ier of the bank of which Mr. Guy was presi- dent, the bulk of her property, be receiving about $50,000. Mrs. Emeline Cook, wife of Luman Cook, of Fair Haven, a sister of Mrs. Guy’s mother is to receives watch, chain and Paisley shawl and $10,000 in cash. The only other legateesiare Nancy G. Allen, of Con- stableville, N. Y., who is to have a diamond cross. a solitaire diamond ring, a horse, etc.. and $5,000; Kate S. Allen, who is to have a cluster diamond ring and $10,000, and Mrs. Sally M. Allen, who is to have an onyx ring. Under a former will Mrs. Cook.of Fair Haven was to have nearly all of Miss Guy’s property. —E:sc}iange. - , The above is substantially correct with the exception of the amount left our deservedly popular young friend Rockwell. It is well known that be occupied” very confidential relations with Mr. Guy, ghe aged. president of the Merideu bank, (which Mr. Rockwell left Norwalk to take the cashiership of). and that Mr. Guy made him the executor of his will. The daughter and only child of Mr. feeble health and having no immediately near relatives, revealed to Mr: Rockwell ber pur— poseof devising the bulk of the fortune she had inherited from her father to him. Mr. Rockwell at once sought by every means to discourage her from this purpose, and find- ing her still persistent employed an attorney to dissuade her from it, Rockwell (with the unselfish modesty for which he is noted) feel- ing that while there was no real impropriety in it, it was repugnant to his sense of delicacy and would expose him to embarrassment.

At St.“ Paul's. The customary Easter services were held Sunday morning; the Rector preaching the sermon._ There was a fine display of flowers arranged by Mr. Robert Hsnford, the florist. In the afternoon the Sunday School held an Easter Festival, at which carols were sung, addresses made, and the children were pre- sented with beautiful Easter tokens, etc. The offerings of the children, by classes, amount- edgo the handsome sum of 3180. At the evening services the Rev. Mr. Sanford preached his farewell sermon. having accept- ed a call to Christ church, Middle Haddam. His successor has not yet been named.

First Baptist Church. 1 Easter Sunday was celebrated at the First Baptist church in a most appropriate and impressive manner. The floral decorations were extremely beautiful, the altar and plat- form having been transformed, under artistic hands, into a complete garden of flowers whose fragrance made the atmosphere redo- lent with perfume. The pastor, W. E. Wright, who is an ar, dent admirer of the beautiful, alluded to the day and timely decorations in a touching manner in the course of his remarks froui the text, “Go tell the disciples and Peter." Al- though Mr. Wright has been in Norwalk but a few months, and has not appeared outside of his own pulpit but a few times, the public are fast becoming acquainted with the fact that lie is a gentleman of rare culture, a most polished, entertaining orator who holds his audience with winning ability. His evening discourse was the third lecture of the Pil- grim‘s Progress series, entitled “The Inter- preter’s House.” These special sermons from the immortal Bunyan’s’ work» are deeply interesting, incident following incident, told in graphic language. A cordial welcome is ever extended to all who desire to listen to one of the finest speakers Norwalk has ever had the pleasure of calling her own. * The Steamboat. An arrangement was made yesterday, April 10th, with the managers of the Dan- huvy & Norwalk Railroad 00., so that here- after a sure connection will be made by the Adclpbi at South Norwalk with the train that leaves at 5:55 p. m. or Q arrival of the boat. The patrons of the steamboat from Danbury and all intermediate stations on the road can now: depend upon getting home without any delay by missing the train. Obituary. mum c. JONES. The subject of this sketch was born in New Hampshire. He went to Salem, Mass, when a youth and came to Norwalk in his 16th year as apprentice to William Clark, down town, to learn the trade of a shoemaker. For sixty years he was a resident of Down Town District and knew and was known by every inhabitant of the district, and by the older inhabitants of the entire town. He was long a member of Concord Division, S. of T.,when ‘Gould D. Jennings, Dr. Hill,Robert Ella and associates were leadin members. For a num- ber of years he carrie excursions in his sail- boat when Nauvoo and Shefiield‘s Islands were the leading resorts, and when Uncle Lewis Whitlock welcomed all parties to the hospitalities of the lighthouse before Roton resort. Commodore Jones was the title by which he was familiarly known in this and adjoining towns. 0n the 4th ult., occurred the 50th anniversary of his .wedding day, when many tokens of esteem were received. The; celebration of this event was prevented by his serious illness. In his death the com- munity loses an aged and upright citizen and his family meet with an irreparable loss. . WARREN narrator. Mr. Herriot, who has long been an invalid, went South during the winter hoping to benefit his health. Finding that he was rapidly sinking, he left San Antonia, Texas, and came directly through to Norwalk, to the residence of his father-iu-law, Henry M. Prowitt, Esq , East Avenue. Upon his arrival North a telegram was received an- nouncing the death of a brother at Yonkers, which had the effect to still more depress him. 'He died last. Thursday, a few days after his arrival. Funeral services were held at the residence of Mr. Prowitt, Friday ‘afternoon. and the remains were taken to Yonkers for burial. ' 'l‘hat Main Street Bridge. We learn that the ;Daubury ab Norwalk Railroad Co. have purchased additional land at the junction of Main and Meadow streets, for the purpose of curving the travel path of the two streets so that the approach to the driveway under their road will be. at right angles with the abutments of the bridge. The opening for the driveway will be eighteen feet at base, and twenty feet at top of abutment, and the height under the dated road, at the junction of Spring and Concord streets, is but nine feet. The last public meeting of the Mutual Im- provement Society, city, for this season, was held last week Mouday'eveniug. _ The pro- gramme included cornet and organ music by ~Messrs. Punzelt, Hope and Disbrow; Piano selections by Misses. Selieck, Ambler and Dayton; an Essay on American Literature by Miss Brockaway; song by Miss May Gilbert; violin and piano duet by Misses Smith and Benedict; song by Henry P. Price; an address on oAmericsn Politics by Prof. Johnston; recitation by Miss Maggie Norton. After the entertainment the old board of ofilcersjwas re-elected. “He Came too Late." The efforts to save the musical instruments in “Austin’s Lake" we regret to say have failed, and the poor frogs that have not. been culverted to the salt sea, and speedy death, have been caught by the small boy, the medium sized boy, and the big boy, so that none remain to utter musical sounds to passers by. ” The Adelphi brought up about two hun- dred passengers last Saturday night.

To fill up the time they played in the "Opera House Monday and Tuesday evenings and then grant to New Haven for three nights. The companywss an excellent one, and the comedy highly amusing. The characters were all well taken, and some of the specialties received rounds of applause. ’Agnes Hallock always had to repeat her de- lightful echo song “The Cows are in the Corn,” and Kate Castlelou, the sweetly scu- timental Miss was always sure of a recall, ' while Frank Bush as "Levy”‘was a show in himself and kept the audience in a roar for half an hour at a time. A. W. Media, as Doctor Pilleu, danced, himself into favor, and Thropp, and the other actors, filled their parts to the general satisfaction. 0n Tues- day evening there was rather more than usual jollity and telling local hits often brought down the house. . Wednesday evening, gave very general satis- faction. ' On ‘Friday the Liliputian Opera- Company gave two performances at the Opera House of Cinderella. The little folks gave a Very pleasing entertainment. Saturday the Opera House was occupied by Anthony'& Ellis’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin." produced with bloodhounds, donkey, jubilee singers and other accessories peculiar to this company. ' . ' This evening Manager Knapp is to favor us with “The World” by the Boston oThea— tre Company. This play has been agreat success. and abounds in realistic scenes and spectacular eIects seldom seen outside of the theatres of large cities. The costumes and “my are said to be very elaborate. and the ompany a strong one. At last Manager Mitchell has managed to capture Haverly’s Company in the great suc. cess of the day—"Patience, or, Bunthorne’s Bride,” Gilbert & Sullivan's latest Esthetic Operh._ As this is Haverley’s‘ regular com- pany we are sure of a good performance. The company advertise forty .artists, a good orchestra,a complete set -of scenery, fine costumes, and lively music. Rapturous Maidens and Heavy Dragoons “swell the chorus." It in already evident that our peo- ple will show their appreciation of Manager Mitchell’s efforts to secure the best compa- nies of the day by filling the cosy Opera House on this occasion. On Thursday evening also, Manager Knapp has a great attraction for Music Hall. “The Banker‘s Daughter,” a strong play by a strong company. It has been given at this house before to a iiighly pleased audience. An exchange says :— It was decidedly the finest audience of the senses, that witnessed the representation of “The Banker’s Dan hter" at the Rayner Opera House last riday evening. The Collier Combination is composed of the best cast of characters that have ever appeared br- foreaMason audience. The play is one of the best society dramas of the day, and its ren- dition by this powerful cast is superior ’to anything we have before witnessed in this city. . ' An Excellent Show. _ In this age of extravagant advertising it is a source of pleasure to find one manager who does not claim to have everything in the world under tents of sufficient capacity to cover an' area equal to half an ordinary county, but who modestly and truthfully ad- vertises exactly and only what' he does ex- hibit. ’If other more pretentious shows would follow his example there wouldbe; less complaint after ,they had exhibited and dissatisfied the public. Ryan's great show, which is to bé, here on Tuesday, the 18th inst., makes no promise which it ever fails to fulfill. ’I he exhibition is beyond doubt a very clean, pure and excellent one and will leave behind it a degree of satisfaction con- spicuously absent from nearly every show which visits this. section. The Menagerie embraces in a well and excellently selected catalogue none but rare animals. The lair of performing tigers, liens. leopards and pauthers. manipulated by Charles White, is an exciting sight, and the ring exercises of tho big-cured African Elephant, Romeo, and the trained steers, Prince and Duke, are of scarcely less interest. These with a complete and thorough Menagerie presented in a sepa- rate tent from the Circus, will afiord the visitor an hour of innocent and instructive recreation prior to the Circus entertainment. No person could deny that James Robinson is the foremost bareback rider on the broad earth. He rides simply and grandly alone, the champion unquestioned and the inventor, parent and daring performer alone of his own great and inimitable specialties. He is to the arena what Booth is to the drama, Paul to the opera, or Emerson to minstrel- sy, the best, greatest, and most conspicuous example of his great art. The remainder of the company will bear favorable comparison and make up a pro amine which for variety, great excellence, doubted merit, is match- less. We like the single ring and so does everybody else, and there is no doubt but that Ryan’s show day will be an occasion of pleasure and an event long to be remembered. The “One More Sociable,” at Music Hall, is to be held on Friday evening of- this week, instead of Thursday as at first announced, in order that the members may beable to attend the opera of “ Patience.” _ The ladies comprising the Norwalk Chris- tian Temperance Union and a large number of invited guests from the societies of South Norwalk and Stamford, with quite a large number of gentlemen well known as temper- ance workers met at the residence of Chas. P. Turney, at ‘_tbc close of the afternoon meeting held at the 2d M. E church, Friday p. m. and enjoyed a social tea together. Al'- thougb- much disappointed at the non-appear- ance of Col. Bain, who was to speak in the evening,they seemed determined to make the —best of it.and have a good time. About fifty sat down to well spread tables, and the re- past was heartily enjoyed by all. After tea, and a little time spent in singing, a meeting After devotional services,remarks were made by Revs. Hamilton and Wright, Messrs. Starr and Youngs, and Mrs. Barbour of the South Norwalk Union, Miss Berrian and Mrs, Andrews of the Stamford Union and Mrs. Lounsbury of the Cold Water Army. At nine, the company separated, all pleased with this meeting of the combined unions of Norwalk. Southfiorw‘alk and.Stamford. We understand that a rather novel enter- tainment is being arranged for the benefit of the Library Association, to be given on the evening of the 19th inst. It is to be in the form of illustrations of American History, and among other things will embrace care— fully selected stereopticon views, recitations and singing of national songs by the children of the public schools under the direction of Mr. Gibson. The affair is in excellent hands and we doubt not will prove deeply interest8 ing and achieve success.

I j of SOflP, one of the most important things used in the House. .JVo one would think of using“ dirty wax , tcr to wash with, then why use a cheap Soap.- which. is made of the poorest kind of grease, rendered mostly from diseased animals? when ~ for a very triflemore you can buy a. PURE SOAP, made from the best of tal- low and warranted pure , andabsotuiiely free from wdulterations. . We refer to FISK’E’S PALE SOflP, in’ Bars, and FISKE’S WHITE PRUSSZflJV, in Cakes, which is equally good for washing 0r toi- let use. Many of the Doctors claim that much of the ‘ skin diseases so prevalent at the present ,timeis due to the use of low price, poor quality Soaps. You find the ' White Prussian Soap at every store. Be sure and get some of it, and if the store where you trade does not keep it in stock, send direct to the Whole- sale flg‘ents HOLMES é‘ KEELER, and you will be supplied. Then if you want an ar. tiole of Washing” Powder we would recommend you to try KAZIW‘E, and for Starch would say use MORJVIJVG SEE/1R, do, which you will find or. very superior article.
