Editorial Letter.
WAsuINo'rON, D.—C., April 22, 182.
DEAR GAzn'r'rn :—
The entire week has been consumed by
the Senate' in a discussion of the Mississippi
River Improvement bill. This bill is to pro-~
vidc for the navigation of the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers, and appropriates five
milliOns for the Mississippi and one million
for the Missouri. Owing to the attempt by
Southern Senators to increase the appropria-
tion and use the increase in repairing the
damaged levees and reclaiming the overflow-
ell lands, the bill, which would in all proba-
bility have soon passed in its original shape,
has dragged along and consumed an entire
week of the Senate's attention, and even yet
has not been brought to a vote.
The House has occupied its time in fight-
ing and wrangling over the Tarifi bill. On
Monday it temporarily suspended the rules
and passed the new Chinese bill limiting the
suspension of immigration'to ten years, then
resumed consideration of the Tariff, which
contrary to general expectation has occupied
the whole week. It is thought by those who
should know that the discussion will be
closed and the matter voted upon during the
coming week.
CONGRESSIONAL No'rus.
On Monday the Senate passed the Agricul.
tural Appropriation bill, the total as reported
being $414,780 or $10,100 less than the aggre-
gate as passed by the House.
The House Committee on Public Build-
ings and Grounds agreed Wednesday to re-
port to the House favorably a bill authoriz-
ing the Secretary of the Treasury to sell the
site of the old New York postofilce, provided
it shall not be sold for less than $500,000.
Mr. Galkins, chairman of the House Com-
mittee on Elections yesterday gave notice
'that he would call up the contested election
cases the early part of next week.
On motion of Mr. Dingley of Maine, Sena-
tor Fryc’s-successor, a bill was passed yester-
‘dny extending to sailing vessels the same
privileges in unloading cargoes as are now
- granted to steamboats.
The California Senators (Miller and Farley)
have given notice of their purpose to press
consideration of the Chinese bill on Monday
if the pending business is then disposed of,
otherwise on Tuesday.
The House having adopted a special order
setting apart Wednesday, the 20th, after the
morning hour, for the consideration of such
business as may be offered by the committee
on post ofiices and post roads, that committee,
at their meeting yesterday decided 'to call up
the first bill to amend the postal money order
system. '
On Wednesday the House struck the death
blow to Mormonism by unseating Cannon,
the Mormon delegate from Utah.
The House committee on commerce to-
day authorized Representative Richardson
to report favorably to the House Representa-
tivc Crapo‘s bill appropriating $20,000 for an
electric light at Hell Gate, N. Y.
From present indications the river and
harbor bill this year will recommend an ap-
propriation of at least fifteen million dollars,
which will-be an increase of nearly four mil-
lion over the bill of last year.
MODEST rrrz JOHN.
The action of the President in the Fitz
John Porter case has induced his friends to
mhkc another effort to secure favorable
legislation in his behalf. Several bills are
being prepared in the Senate and House
looking to his relief. He will be satisfied
with restoration to the armyand immediate
retirement, without arrears of pay, except
for the two years from the time of his dis-
missal to the close of the war. His case has
again been laid before the Cabinet but this
timc_hc only requests the President to remove
from him the civil disability incuried by his
dismissal. No action has as yet been taken
though the subject is under discussion.
. AND STILL ANOTHER.
First Assistant Postmaster-General Frank
Hatton has issued an order as follows: “It
having been brought to the attention of this
Department that many postmasters are using
railroad stamps and other similar stamps for
postmarking their mail matter, and as the
stamps upon such matter are often of very
great importance as evidence Of the date of
mailing, and as the value of this evidence is
materially affected by the use by postmasters
of regular stamps, postmasters are directed
in future to use no stamps for postmarking
unless it contains the name of the post-office
and the date of its use; and it must contain
no other matter, and 'must make a clear and
distinct impression, and be used only with
black ink." .
sEr'rLEs m
The irrepressible I ohn R. Belles, of New
London, dropped silently. down upon us t0»
day. We knew it would come to this .at
last, for without Belles there could be no ap-
propriation, and ergo, with no appropriatiOn
there could be no navy yard. Mr. Belles
has taken rooms here at 607 Thirteenth
street, and settled down for the campaign.
Secretary Chandler has not heard yet of his"
arrival, butwhen he does he will come down
like Captain Scott's “ coon.” Connecticut
and all» New London can depend on that.
Brandagee, Waller, Err-Senator Eaton, Ex-
Gov. English, Osgood, the . came down and
chaperoned by Col. Waite, captured the
-HOusc committee On appropriationsa short
time since, and the present week Col. Waite
has had Senators Platt and Hawley and
Representatives Miles and Buck and ex-
Congressman S. W. Kellogg to see Secretary
.- Chandler, who gave his visitors the most
encouraging assurances of his “distinguished
consideration." ,It was therefore only need-
ful that Belles should appear to settle the
question of a munificent appropriation,
'rlrlr “PBOFESSOBS.”
The crowd of professors attending the
scientific convention the past week, has led
~ to some very ludicrous jokes. The ambitious
reporters on the local papers gazetted every
arrival from Connecticut as a “Professor,"
‘thus Mr. Henry I Hoyt, of Norwalk, who
chanced to be here, is reported as “ Profes-
sor H. 1. Hoyt; a distinguished electrical
Savant from Connecticut,” while James Gal-
lagher, Esq, (who is here with his wife to
remain till the middle of May,) and John H.
Leeds, Esq , are both recorded as “ Profes-
sors " from Yale College.
BARNUM AGAIN. ’
Our Connecticut showman had the urchins
all agOg here today by hiring one of the
Avenue street cars and completely encasing
it with enormous canvas transparencies ‘on
, front, sides and rear, advertising his coming
“ Only Greatest Show on Earth," which is to
be here May 1st and 2d.
SECRETARY CHANDLER.
From a twenty years’ acquaintance with
the new Secretary of the Navy, we can cer-
tify with enthusiastic earnestness to the
truth of every word of the following from
our friend Candcc, of the Bridgeport Stan-
(la-rd:
“‘ Mr. Chandler is a man whom it has been
fashionable to vituperate on general princi- ‘
Dies. amongvthose with whom vituperation
and slander are the measure of their argu.
mentative ability,the chief evidences of their
own superiority and the standards of their
wit. This abuse of Mr. Chandler commenc-
ed in the democratic party,Which found him
- an active, ready and indefatigable opponent
upon all occasions, and which suffered so so-
verly at his hands that it must needs fallback
won abuse to relieve its laceratcd feelings.
The wholesale and utterly false slanders of
this origin, were taken up by the patent rc-
formers and model political old women in
the Republican party and retailed as an cyl-
deuce of their own purity and the naughtl-
ness of their neighbors, and thus, for a sea-
son, it wasmade a fashion to abuse him. £0
man has been nominated to the posi n
which he now‘ occupies, in the last twenty
years, whose capacity is larger, whose char-
acteris better,and against whom his enemies
can bring less. valid and honest objection.
Let the man be judged by all honorable men
according to what hcvdocs and notaccordlng
to the busily circulated defamation of his
political enemies.” .
V - NAVAL ORDERS _
Among other naval orders issued this week
I
1
was one detaching Surgeon A. M. Moore
from the hospital at Norfolk, Va. , and order-
ing him to the naval station at New London,
Conn. Also one relieving Surgeon Wu). G.
Farwell from duty at New London and or-
dering him to the naval hospital at Norfolk.
ACADEMY or SOIENOEs.
The annual session of the National Acade~
my of Sciences was held here this week. It
commznced Monday and after a discussion
of the investigations pursued by the Savants
the past year, the meeting yesterday adjour-
ned. Monday night they held a reception in
the National Museum building, which was
largely attended. Many Connecticut scien—
tists have been in attendance, among Whom
we noticed Professors Sillilnau, Newton and
Loomis of Yale College, anvarof. George, J.
Brush, the inventor of the Brush electric
light. ‘ . ~
llAlLItOADs. .
A proposition is now pending in the House
Committee on Railroads to grant the right of
way to the National Railroad Company for a
fast line and cheaper transportatiOn between
Washington and New York. The committee
will hear arguments on‘Tuesday next. The
projectors promise an air line, two hours less
time and a $5 fare. ‘ '
. PENSIONS.
Senator Plait is urged to accept the chairman-
ship of the Committee on Pensions. lie will
act as such to the end of the present session
if necessary, but will not give up his perma-
nent chairmanship of the Committee on Pat—
ents. .
HARTFORD POST-OFFICE.
Bids were opened in the ofiice of the
supervising architect of the Treasury yester-
day for stone work of approaches and artifi-
cial stone walks for the post-office building at
Hartford, Conn. There were three biddels—
H. L. Crawford, the Mount Waldo Granite
Works, and the Bodwell Granite Conlpany.
A bid was also received from George A. Lin-
coln 65 00., for iron fences, gates, etc.,for
the same building, at' $2,600. No award
was made in either case.
Supervising Architect Hill states that no
further contracts for work open the above
building will be made until the city council
dispose of the pending bill in reference t9
street lines.
EXPENSE or run ILLNESS or PRESIDENT GAR-
_ FIELD.
The committee on expenses attending the
illness of the late President Garfield, have,
after careful consideration of the services ren-
dered, reported a bill fixing the compensa-
tion of the surgeons and nurses and allowing
extra pay to the employees of the Executive
mansion. The bill pays to Dr. Bliss $25,-
000; to Drs. Agnew and Hamilton $15,000
each; to Drs. Rayburn, Boynton, and Susan
Edson $10,000 each; to W. 'J. Crump $3,-
000, besides allowing sundry other smaller
amounts to those who were Of service in that
sad time. For Surgeon-General Barnes it
provides promotion to the rank and pay of
placed upon the retired list, and for Dr.
Woodward promotion to surgeon in the
medical corps of the army with the rank,
pay and emoluments of a Lieutenant-Colonel.
some cases, but it must be remembered that
the surgeons and'nurses gave up everything
else and devoted their entire attention ‘0 the
case. Nothing less than this would have
satisfied the public and it does not lessen the
value of the services, that those who render.
ed them have neither made out bills nor
claimed any compensation. The committee
have apparently taken all the circumstances
and conditions into consideration, and it
would be most unseemly for Congress to
raise a dispute over this matter.
THE DAKOTA QUESTION.
Under the. rules of the House it will be
almost impossible to pass at this session the
bill to admit Dakota as a state. It will not
be reached on the calendar unless given
special privilege. This the democrats will
resist, and there are not votes enough in its
favor to suspend the rules to admit the terri-
tory.
‘ NOMINATIONS AND CONFmIATIONS.
On Monday, the Senate in executive ses-
Trumbull of Connecticut as Collector of
Customs for the district of Stonington. Conn.
The President sent the nomination of
Edward T. Gates as postmaster at Thomas-
town Conn, to the Senate on Tuesday.
A STOLEN BIBLE.
The copy of the Holy Bible which has
been used ever since 1829 in swearing in
United States Senators, was stolen from the
Senate Wednesday, and every effort to trace
it has proved fruitless. The conclusion is
that it was taken as a relic because of its
associations, as it was not intrinsically valu-
able, being a cheap book. It was very nicely
bound, however,and had the inscription ‘fU
S. Senate” on one of its covers. Capt. Bas-
sett, its venerable custodian. is almost dis-
tracted over its loss.

Work on the Extension.
The work on the extension of the D. & N.
R. R. to Wilson’s Point has progressed fa;
vorably for the ~past fortnight, more than.
two-thirds of the track is graded to sub‘
grade, and nearly or quite three-fifths of the
total number of yards of cut and fill are
completed. The masonry for the tunnel
under the New Haven road 'is being pushed
forward so that the north end will probably
be completed to-morrow night. This work
is now so far advanced that there can be no
doubt but that it will be completed on or
before the first of June, as‘contracted for.
The cut on the Seymour property is,.coneid-
cring the character of the material to be
taken out, making fair progress, though it
does look as if ,more men were needed on
rock work. » The embankment across Sher-
wood’s building lots will require about ten
days more time to fill the gap. The north
abutment for the bridge over Main street is
partly up, and will make a good show with
the granite blocks from the Mine Hill Quar-
ry. The abutments for the bridge ht Village
Creek-arc completed, as well as most of the
grading from Meadow street to the crossing
of Main street above the westerly entrance
of the Wilson place. The ledge near the
Wilson farm house is nearly cut, and the
grading across the head of the creek cove
has been commenced. The dredging for
the steamboat pier and wharf at the point is
completed, and the pile driving will com-
mence on the arrival of the timber for pier
and wharf, now about due.
Telephonlc.
Miss Bassctt has resigned her position as
day operator at thb Telephone Central office,
and Miss Leah Murray has- taken her place.
The line from Bridgeport to Norwnlk is pro-
grossing satisfactorily, and when that is com-
pleted the South Norwalk circuit is' to be
improved.- -
It has been explained to us that the charg-
iug Of patrons for communication with
Stamford is absolutely necessary owing to
certain contracts made by the company with
an “ inter-state company ” which controls all
service betwaen different exchanges. It is a
sort of wheel within a wheel arrangement
for which the Telephone company does not
seem to be responsible. The price, however,
we are assured will be reduced.

ROSIHIIOII.
At the meeting of. the Directors of the
Fairfield County National Bank, last Tues-
day, Joseph W. Hubbell, Esq., tendered his
resignation as Vice President and Director,
health. The resignation wal‘accepted w'it
regret, and the Directors passed a series of
resolutions of ahigbly complimentary nature,
which will he found in another column.
Capt. Hubbell has been a Director for ov'er
forty years, and has always been one of the
most prompt and reliable members of the
Board. When he first became a Director in
1842, Thos. Warner, Jr. was cashier. After
serving three years he became “State” direc-
tor, the State then being represented in the
Board. Continuous election for 'so long a
term speaks volumes for the estimation in
which the Captain was held by the ofiiccrs
and stockholders of the institution.
After accepting the Captain’s resignation
the Board elected W. 8- Moody: Esq o Presi-
dent of the Fairfield County Savings Bank,
as his successor.
More Surveys.
Another corps of surveyors arrived in town
last Tuesday, putting up at the Adams
House. They are engaged in re-snrveying
the line of the “Inland Railroad" through
Norwalk. They are putting down number-
ed stakes, and the line runs through
Broad River district near the house of Wm.
L. James, thence on through Winnipank
between the residences of J. 0. Randle and
E. C. Bisseil. '

Mr. L. J. Curtis had a very unpleasant
experience last Thursday. By mistake be
swallowed a small dose Of muriatic acid 'and
zinc, in water. The stuff burned his throat,
and when an investigation revealed what he
had been drinking he was taken home where
an emetic was atonce given him. Dr. Hitch.
cock was called in, and administered an anti—
dote, and he was out again next day apppar-
ently fully recovered.
' They are pushing things down on the
Foundry property. Workman are now on-
gaged in excavating the cellar for a new
,building, and carpenters are at work getting
out timbers for the same. The plan of
raisingthe concreted building has been given
up and the roof moved into the yard to be
used as a shed; the walls are to be torn
down. . _
A Beacon Blown Down.
During Friday afternoon the wind ffom
the westward which, according to Captain
Anderson of the steamer Adelphl, was the
fiercest he has experienced this season, the
spindle erected by the Government.on Long
Beach, opposite Keyser’s Island, was blown
down. - A few Years ago, as readers of the
GAZETTE will remember, the Steamer City of
Norwalk ran foul of the. stone work upon
which the shaft supporting the spindle
stood, nearly demolishing it. Ever since it
has been a kind- of an eye sore to sailing mas-
ters. Though frail and in an unsafe condi-
tion it yet hung together till Friday when,
a ;lever, it succumbed and is now a shape-
less ruin. the narrowness of the channel
at.this point renders it important that the
Light HousesBoa-rd take early action in be-
half of mariners.
Extension of Side Track at South
Norwalk.
The Consolidated Railroad Company are
extending their westerly siding from near
the middle east and west line of the nursery
house, having purchased a bulging strip of
land of Mr. Ira Seymour ,jor that purpose.
This extension will be some five or. six hun-
dred feet in length, and will render the
switching of the cars for the Danbury do
Norwalk road much less vexatious than now;
as it frequently requires half an hour to
switch out two or three cars for that road
they being sandwiched with cars of local
freight. When this siding is completed, the
cars with local freight will be switched in on
it. while those for,the Danbury road will be
set on siding now used for both roads.
Shipments from Hoyt’s Nursery.
We have been surprised at the enormous
shipments of trees, shrubs, etc., from Hoyt's
New Canaan Nursery, by express and rail-
road, by trains going both-east and west and
we are sure this large sale;on the part of the
nurserymen is evidence that their uniform
fairness and honesty, in their representations
as to the character Of their stock, is being
knoyvn and appreciated, to an extent that
must be as gratifying to them, as it is to
their numerous friends in this vicinity.

charges brought by Mr: Goodwin that it had
made “inaccnrrate and untruthful returns to
the railroad commissioners, tending to sup-

ings." The committee say that they have
heard the testimony and have visited the of-
fice of the company in New York and ex-
amined its accounts, and that the accusation
against it is not sustained.

The First Congregational Church
At a meeting of the Society last Wednesday
evening, Messrs. Alex. Johnston, F. St. John
Lockwood, Asa B. Woodward, Chan. ‘0.
Betts, and Edward C. Bisseli were appointed
a committee to confer with the Rev. Mr.
Hamilton to see if an arrangement could be
made whereby the pastor could accept a
year’s leave of absence and thus obviate the
necessity of severing the pastoral relation.
The committee was instructedlto report at an
adjourned meeting to be heid this (Monday)
evening. As we 5 go to press, we understand
that the pastor, in justice lo the church and
to himself, deems it his .duty to adhere to
his letter of resignation. He will remain un-
til after the May communion.

Struck by Lightning.
' The first thunder storm of the season came
up last Wednesday night, and the electrical
display was quite brillant. The next morn-
ing upon opening the Danbury depot the
rooms were found full of smOkc.’ Upon in.
vestigation it was found that lightning had
come into the ticket ofilcc on the telegraph
wire, set the cotton covering of the wires on
fire and finally the flooring over head.
Some of the timbers were badly charred, and
the firehad évidently obtained considerable
headway. It probably burned out for want
of air. The when will now be brought into
the building in such a manner that there will
be no fear of fire in the future.
Church Entertainment.
The ladies of St. Paul's Parish announce
an entertainment for the evening of Thurs-
day of next week, May 4th, which is to take
place at the Sellcck School. As a matter of
coarse the-attendance will be large. The
price of admission includes refreshments.
The Library Enthrtainment.
The entertainment to be given at the Cp-
era House, Friday evening of this week, is
of a rather novel nature, and promises to be
instructive, as well as amusing and entertain-
ing. There are to be large Ster opticon pic-
tures illustrating the history of is country,
with appropriate songs and recitations by
children Of the public and private schools.
Aleading feature will be a chorus of fifty
voices. Asthe entertainment will be worthy
of patronage in. itself and the object is one
in which all ought to be deeply interested
we trust the attendance will be such as to
encourage the managers to renewed efforts.

Maggie Mitchell.
Good Hall amusements is the rule in Nor-
walk now. On Wednesdayfevening the pub-
lic's old favorite, Maggie Mitchell, is to ap-
pear at Music Hall in an entirely new play
“The'Little Savage,” and will be sure of re-
ceiving a welcome.
MAGGIE MITONELn—Th'at Maggie Mitch-
ell's popularity in Utica and vicinity is as
great as ever was attested by the magnificent
audience of 1,300 or 1,400 which gave her
hearty greeting at the Opera House last even-
ing. In her new play, “The Little Savage,”
she appeared to excellent advantage, and was
applauded when she first stepped upon the
stage, approaching the audience under a can-
opy of flowers borne by attendants, and at
the end of the second not she was called
before the curtain accompanied by- the veto-
ran actor, L. R. Shewell. The new drama is
well constructed, its lines are clean and
pleasing,while many of its situations are very
laughable. It affords more opportunities for
actors other than the star than do plays of
the kind generally, but in the hands of
Shewell, Russell and other members of Mag-
gie’s excellent support the good points in
. the play are all ably presented. An efiort
was made to secure the company fOr another
date in Utica this season. but that as found
impossible, Manager Paddock sta ing that

The Minstrels.
This evening, at the Opera House, our cit-
izens are to be favored with an entertainment
by the famous San Francisco Minstrels of
New York City. Of late years Minstrel
shows have been scarce here, and when such
a noted company as the present comes, they
are sure of being greeted by a large and fash-
ionable audience, for people dearly love “ a
little nonsense now and then" especial-
ly when combined with goodc'nstrument'
a1 and vocal music, and no kind of en-
tertainment abounds more in good music,
wit and character sketches“ than the

She has evidently made a careful study of
the role, and to her thorough rendition of the
music she adds the rather rare but exceed-
ingly pleasurable sensation of graceful and

over her register, and possessing quite a re-

of lnterpolcting all kinds of .pretty little trill:

Obituary.
'One who warmly appreciated the many
excellent virtues which combine to make up
the true Womanly and Christian character of
the late' Mrs. James W. Pinkney, places the
following in our hands, and it affords us
much pleasure to give it insertion in our col-
umns. -
The melancholy death .of that estimable
and universally beloved Christian lady, Mrs.
Sarah Ann Jarvis, wife of James W. Pink-
ney of our' town, has thrown deep gloom
over a wide-spread circle of mourning rela-
tives and friends. '
Endowed with rare qualities of heart and
mind, and pmsemd of a cheerful and happy
disposition, Mrs: Pinkney was an object of
affection wherever known—was one of whom
'it may be truly said, that whilst passing
through the long journey of life was never
known W word or deed to wound the feel-
ings of any human being. To the most ele-
vated in society and to the most humble was
'she alike considerate and respectful—accord-
;ing the same kind treatment to all. She was
the eldest daughter-of the late Mr. Samuel
Jarvis, of this town, and granddaughter of
thargood old patriarch, Hezekiah Jarvis, of
St. Paul’s church. She was educated in the
best seminal-lea of learning of her day; was
born in the Episcopal church and firmly at-
tached to its doctrines and devoted to its wel-
fare, yet ever regarded the convictions of her
fellow Christians of difiercnt names about
her. '
Although grieviously afilicted with a pain-
ful disease, on which, as she was well aware
was leading her steadily and surely down to
the grave, yet not a murmur escaped her
lips during the protractedperiod of suflering
.which ended finally in death. A tender and
affectionate wife, mother, and friend, her.
presence always diffused sunshine, and she
was a beautiful example in every relation of
life. The void created in her family by her
' deceue can never be filled. Every member
of her family, love a distant one, lovingly
ministered to her- to“ the last. Love and
sweet peace to her memory.
On the same morning that Mrs. Pinkney
passed away, her'near neighbor, Mrs. Lo-
renzo Hubbell died of pneumonia. The even-
ing before she seemed to be quite cheerful
and conversed freely with her friends who.
little thought 'she was so near her end. Mrs.
Hubbell belonged to one of our oldest fam-
lies and was well known and esteemed by all
old residents of the place. She was ever
thoughtful of Others, and her neighbors speak
in praise of her consideration for the sick
and contributions to their welfare. ~
On Sunday morning last, ‘ after h sickness
Of about a week, Mr. Isluw Reed Doty was
removed by death. He was first taken with
typhoid-pneumonia, Saturday week, and last
Saturday was apparently improving and his
friends were hoping for his recovery, when
his disease was complicated with paralysis.
He was in his sixty-ninth year. He was a
man of earnest nature,firm in his convictions
of right and wrong, and could not be swerv-
ed from what he believed to be his duty.
His family originally came from New York
State, but hevhad been a resident of the
town for probabl half a century at least.
He was on. of afamily of seven children,
and the first to die. He was a Republican
in politics, andvfor many years served the
town as‘ a constable 'and grand juror. His
funeral will be attended Wednesday after-
noon. ' ‘ .
Mrs. J. B. Bette has an announcement
elsewhere that will interest the ladies of this
vicinity. She has .a full line of everything
new and fashionable in the millinery line,
and knows how to put them together in the
most tasty and effective shape, and our ladies
will probably fare much better by dealing
here at home with those they know than by
trusting themselves to strange and sharp city
dealers.
