Editorial Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. 0., May 0, 1883.
Dean GAzuTTn :—
The Chinese Bill which passed last week
has now been sent to the President. for his
approval or veto as the case may be. It was
read and informally discussed at the cabinet
meeting yesterday, but so far as is known,
no decision upon it was reached. It will be
again considered at the next meeting when
the President's action will probably be de-
termined upon. The impression seems to
prevail that he will approve the Bill. .
This week the Senate has divided its time
betvrecn the Court of Appeals bill, the bill
to remove Political Disabilities from ex-
confederates, and a resolution offered by Mr.
Voorhees relative to the alleged improper
use of money by the Whisky Ring. 'The
Political Disability question raised quite a
breeze in that august body. The old war
issues were revived and the staid old sena-
tors fairly quivered with excitement. The
remark by one of the Southern Senators that
“no one but God knew which side was
the right," in the recent unpleasautness,
brought Senator Hewley to his feet, and
with his whole frame shaking with indigna—
tion, he hurled an impetuous volume of long
suppressed rhetoric at these democratic
defenders of the rebellion and announced ll‘l
thunder tones, that this treason was forever
wrong and the defence made to preserve the
Union, was eternally right.
. ,Mr. Voorhees‘ resolution created quite a
stir but it was not acted upon save to be in-
definitely postponed. It has been claimed
that the distillers &c., have massed a large
sum of money together to influence Congress
in the liquor bills now under way, but the
statement though not traced to any reliable
source, was by Senator Windom, deemed of
consequence enough for him to move a reso-
lution of general inquiry.
The Tariff bill has dragged its weary way
through another week, but has finally about
reached its end. Fifty-three prepared
speeches have been made upon it and now
that the matter has been so thoroughly
talked at, the probability is that the forepart
of next week will see it disposed 'of as far as
this Congress is concerned. The Commis-
sion bill'passed the House late this evening
by alarge majority, and it will go again to
the Senate and soon be adopted and gotten
out of the way there. Judge Kelly made
one of the best cfibrts of his life in discuss-
ing this bill, in the House yesterday. In-
deed lt was without exception, the ablest
and most exhaustive speech of the session,
His tilt. with Hewitt completely knocked
that expectant democratic candidate for the
Presidency, out of lime and out of breath
and he was only too glad to dry up and haul
off to repair damages.
CAPITOL TALK.
The House Committee on Pensions Mou~
day agreed to report favorably the bill grant-
ing a pension of fifty dollars per month to the
widow of Alfred B. Meacham, who received
fatal injuries at the time Gen. Canby was
killed by Captain Jack and his band of Modoc
Indians. At that time Col. Meacham received
severe wounds and was only saved through
the interposition of an Indian squaw whom
he had befriended. The story is familiar to
many of our readers. Col. M. having lectured
several times in Norwalk,
' Mr. Lapham has introduced a bill in the
Senate proposing an amendment to the Con-
stitution prohibiting any denial or abridge-
ment of suffrage on account of sex, which
was referred to the committee on. Women
Suffrage. ‘
The Senate Tuesday listened to a speech
by Mr. Saunders advocating a constitutional
amendment providing for the election by the
people of post-masters and other ofilcers now
appointed by the President.
The democratic Congressional Campaign
committee has assessed each member of
Congress $50. A Mississippi Bourbon mem-
ber has refused to pay, and says he will run
his own campaign to suit himself, and does
not want any documents sent into his dis-
trict. '
The public debt statement issued Monday
shows-the reduction of the public debt dur-
ing the month of April to be $4,415,823.74
The old' Senate Bible, of the mysterious
disappearance of which mention has hereto-
fore been made, was found by Doorkeeper
Bassett Tuesday morning on’.the Secretary’s
desk, where the purloiner of this time-honor-
ed relic had secretly replaced it [since the
Senate chamber was last accessible to the
general public. The volume was purchased
for the use of the Senate by Capt. Bassett’s
father in 1827, and had been in service from
that yearuntil the date of its disappearance.
It will now be restored to its principal if not
its only function, in the swearing in of new
Senators.
The Post-Office Department was closed
yesterday out of respect to the memory of
the late Postmaster-General Maynard. The
building will be draped in mourning for
thirty days.
I]. s. MAnsnALs‘ TRAVELING EXPENSES.
Judge Lawrence, first controller of the
Treasury‘department, has decided that U. S.
marshalsare allowed to be paid the whole
amount of actual and necessary traveling ex-
penses without any limitation, in summoning
jurors, instead of mileage fees, which with
the 33% cents for each juror, are not allowed
to exceed $50 at any one term of court.
mz JOHN PonTEIt's DISABILITIES REMOVED.
The President has relieved Gen. Fitz John
Porter of so much of the sentence of the
court martial in his case as debarred him
from holding any office of honor or trust
under the United States.
LOST on Brown BONDS.
On Thursday Senator Anthony offered a
resolution directing the Finance Committee
to inquire into and report upon the expedi-
ency of providing by law for the payment of
called or-overdue handed the United States,
to the true owners thereof, in cases in which
any such bonds shall have been lost, stolen
or destroyed and under suitable regulations
for the security of the United States against
any loss in such cases. He explained in re-
ply to Mr. Morrill that his object was to ex-
tend the existing law so as to provide for
stolen as well as destroyed bonds. This, if
it should become a law, will be of special
interest to sufferers by the bank of Norwalk
robbery. -

As Ever, B.
The Weather.
People are apt to forget when remarking
and complaining about the cold weather
during the last half of April, and the first
half of May, and from year to year, we hear
the usual complaint as to the cold weather
we are having, and the damage it will do to
the growing crops of frg't rind vegetables,
when, if they would :consult the record of
- the thermometer, and the phases of the
weather,yeariy reported, they would find that
from about the 20th of April, to the 1§th of
May, easterly winds do, and have prevailed,
almost interruptedly, as far back as such
records go,and that during the period of such
winds, cold chilly weather prevails; and but
little rain falls.
From a record kept by a shipping house
in New York, it- is shown that on the twenty-
fifth day of April, (the regular day of their
vessels sailing), for thirty years, the wind
has been from the east with but one single
exception.
The cause of this term of easterly cold wind,
was attributed by one of the oldest, and
most intelligent, ship captains in their em-
ploy, who sailed for forty years between
New York-and Liverpool, to the ice fioe on
our coast, at this period of the year, while
the ice is passing from the Arctic regions to
the Gulf.
We usually have mild and even warm
weather for the first fifteen days of April,
but this has been an exceptional year, there
having been but little mild and no warm
weather, and this maybe accounted for,from
the fact that the ice fioe commenced unusually
early this season, and still continues in large
quantities, and we must expect the continu-
ance of the present uncomfortable weather
until the ice asd‘hisappeared from our coast.
Change of Pier. ‘ _
_ Steamboat patrons whog'o down town will.

General Agent of the line, to state that on
Saturday last he succeeded in engaging Pier
27, foot of Dover street, for the lower land-
ing of the boat. The Same Pier will be used
by the Propeller City of Norwalk. While
the location of this Pier is not quite as good
as the other dock it is more commodious.

The Irish cause has again been stabbed in

Under Secretary for the Irish department.
The deed was committed by unknown men,
in Phoenix Park, Dublin early Saturday even-
ing. All friends of Ireland will . denounce
the deed. Mr. Parnell says :—“ I am horri-
fied more than I can express. This is one of
the most atrocious crimes ever committed.
Its effect must certainly be most damaging
to the interests of the Irish people."

Au Enjoyable Entertainment.
The entertainment given by the ladies of
St. Paul’s Parish, at the Selleck School Hall,
last Thursday evening, was a pronounced
success. The Hall was filled with ladies and
gentlemen, evidently wondering what the
up-rising of the curtain would reveal. The
young ladies and gentlemen. A series of
tableaux vivants followed which might have
been named ‘f The Sculptor’s Dream," reveal-
ing. an artist at wcrk upon one of the loveli-
est pieces of draped statuary it has ever been
our fortune to witness. Piano music and
more tableaux followed, including an elabo-
rately arranged " Blue Beard" series, which
was received with much pleasure, as evinced
by warm applause. The Stage entertain-
ment closed with a novel feature, the Broom
Drill by a “ brigade" of young misses in neat
uniform who handled the "woman’s weapon”
with skill, obeyed orders without a murmur,
and performed military and un-miliiary evo-
luiions in a manner delightful to behold.
Capt. Kate Camp distinguished herself, and
all the members marched off with the honors
of welLearned applause. James Mitchell ap.
peared upon the scene and auctioned'ofi the
decorated brooms and dust pans carried and
worn by the fair soldiers. The-Captain’s
dust pan brought $1.10, another 60 cents,
and none were sold for less than the “ quar-
ters" asked, while the brooms were sold for
from 75 cents down.
At the cloae of this part of the entertain-
ment, the company proceeded down stairs
where tables were set with light refreshments
and all were invited to help themselves,
which invitation, it is needless to state, was
“unanimously" accepted. Altogether the
entertainment was one long to be remember-
ed, and We hear the hope expressed that it
may be repeated. '

Hotel Needed. _,
If there is any place in the State of Con-
necticut that needs a hotel built in modern
style, and kept as such a hotel should be.
that place is Norwalk; and it is time that
our citizens should take measures to secure
one. It has been proposed by some, that
such a hotel should be built on or near the
site of the old “Mott House,” and that loca-
tion would certainly be a pleasant one, but
the question is, would a hotel built on that
location pay ? We fear that it would not, as
it would be too far away from the business
center for stores to rent well, and it is safe
to assume that no hotel that should be built
in the style and manner that the times, and
the public demand, could for the present be
made to pay without renting the first story
for stores, shops, &c.
A hotel for this place should have one
hundred or more feet front, and the grounds
should be of such character and deep enough
to allow a central rear extension of at least
one hundred feet in depth, with pleasant
views from either side of the extension.
The first story' of the extension could be
used for dining room, and in rear of dining
room, kitchen, store room, wash room, Sm,
while the stories above could be plainly and
neatly furnished for summer boarders, and
could be kept closed during the cold months
of the year. From the second sicry of the
extension, as broad verandah should extend
the entire length of sides and rear, thus afford-
ing guests of the hotel a promenade two
hundred and fifty feet in length, some por-
tion of which at all times of day is shaded,
and the hours this verandah would be in use,
could be so arranged as not to interfere with
the sleeping comfort of the occupants of the
rooms. There are but two sites that occur
to us at this moment that will give all of
these requsites, the Norwalk Hotel, and
adjacent property to the line of the residence
of’Geo. G. Bishop Esq., and the Lynes prop.
erty opposite, from the Bank of Norwalk
west, either of which would be favorable
locations for' the renting of stores, and the
last named property particularly favorable
for the extension, as the grounds are ample,
well shaded, with an extensive lawn ; and a
hotel on this plot of ground would be, if
well kept, and at reasonable prices, filled
during the summer months with boarders
from New York and other places, especially
as the completion of the extension of the Dan-
bury & Norwalk Railroad to Wilson’s Point,
will give summer boarders, as well as our
own citizens in a ten minutes ride, access to
as good bathing beaches as can be found on
our Sound shore. That a hotel so built will
pay a fair interest on its cost, and that it
would be for the best interests of our prop-
erty owners and business men, that it should
be built, none we believe can doubt; andosa
hope that the right ones will push this mat-
ter so that we shall have such a hotel as the
interests of our borough demand. With a
first-class hotel so located, within one minute
from the trains, by which New York'can be
reached by all rail in one and one half hours,
or by boat from Wilson’s Point in two and
one quarter hours, with horse cars every ten
minutes, we think that it is safe to say it
would be well patronized, and would pay
the keeper as well as the company that built
it. By all means let us have a first class
hotel.
First Congregatio-la Church.
The Fairfield West Consociation met in
the First Congregational. Church, May 2d,
and formally dissolved the pastoral relation
of Rev. Mr. Hamilton to the people, of that
church. In testimony of their feeling in the
performance of this ofllcial not they voted
to record the expression of their “high up-
preciation of Mr. Hamilton’s warm and“
kindly fellowship with the ministers and
churches of this body, and their earnest.
prayer that he may speedily regain his health
and be restored to active service in the
Christian ministry in which he has been so
long and so eminently successful." They
also expressed “hearty sympathy with the
church in the loss of so efficient and
faithful a pastor, and prayers that the
.Good Shepherd who has cared for the people
for generations past will continue to cherish
them and speedily send them anothergpastor
to continue and carry forward the Lord’s
work among them.”
We give below the resolutions passed by
the First Congregational Society in accept-
ance of Rev. Mr. Hamilton’s resignation:
The resolutions passed by the church we have
already printed. '
Whereas. the Rev. J. A. Hamilton, for
eight years pastor of this church, has been
compelled by ill health to resign his pastoral
charge, and has felt compelled to adhere
finally to his resignation, as his decision is
more fully expressed in a communication of
this date by him to a committee appointed
by this society to confer with him as to the
"possibility of temporarily suspending, instead
of finally severing the pastoral relation.
Voted, that this society concur with the
church in accepting Mr. Hamilton’s resigna-
tion, and appoint a committee of three to
unite with the church and the pastor in call-
ing a meeting of the Consociation, and to
represent the society thereat.
Voted, that this society takes this action
with unfeigned regret and only after exhaust-
ing every effort to discover some road by
which the severance might be avoided; that
this unexpected severing of the pastoral rela-
tion was as little the desire of the society as
of the church _or the pastor ; and that, in tak-
ingi the action, the society only yields to an
or ering of Providence from which there is
evidently no means of escape.
Voted, that this society, as the more
especial instrumentality for the care of the
temporal concerns of this church, wishes to
express its deep and abiding sense of the
services which Mr. Hamilton has rendered
during his eight years’ pastorate ;.of his com-
prehensive common sense, business tact, and
financial skill through which he has relieved
this society of a debt of $16,000, has made
its church building almost a new creation,
and has put the society on a solid basis for
the future; of his unshrinking unselfishness,
which has always been not only willing, but
anxious, to spend and to be spent in the ser-
vice of the society; and of the spirit of self-
sacrifice which he ‘has not only preached,
but practiced and infused into others.
Voted, that this society will never cease to
remember Mr. Hamilton as an instrument in
God’s hands for the upbuilding of the church-
in this place, and as a faithful, efficient, and.
exemplary minister of the church~oFCIarkias
Voted, that the clerk be requested to notify
the church and pastor of the action of the
society, and to spread these resolutions upon
the society’s minutes.
On Sunday morning last a lsrgecongrega-
tion assembled to listen to Rev. Mr. Hamil-
ton's closing sermon. He did not deliver a
“farewell sermon" but preached an excellent
discourse upon the general subject “God is
Love,” closing with appropriate and touch-
ing allusions to his long pastorate here and
of his departure from the people he loved,
It was a solemn occasiOn and many eyes were
dimmed with tears, for during his life here
the Reverend gentleman has gained_a deep
place in the hearts and affections of his peo-
ple. At the communion service which fol-
lowed eight persons were admitted to
membership, taro on'profession and six by
letter; and two children were baptized.
During the communion service the pastor
was deeply agitalen, noticing which that
great—hparted veteran preacher Rev. D. B.
S. Bissell, who had left his invalid bed to be
present, went forward to the assistance of
his friend,—a kindly act characteristic of the
man. After the service crowds gathered
around and pressed the hand of the pastor,
including many aged people'who feared they
might have no other opportunity of saying
“good-by."
The First Baptist Church.
An interesting Baptismal service was held
in this church on Sunday morning last, and
at the Communion services, which were held
afterward,the candidates who had been'bsp-
tized, were received into the church. An
order of service, tastefully printed at this of-
fice, was placed in each pew, and the respon-
sive readings introduced were enjoyed by a
great many. .

Bell’s rerun—d Bridge.
The long, drawn out delay, in repairing
the bridge to Bell's Island. which wa's par-
tially destroyed about eighteen months since,
is one of the beauties knownjas the “laws
delaye’flGpcrhaps it would be more correct to
say lawyers delay.) that ought not to be al-
lowed to exist, and we think the Selectmen
would be fully justified in going forward and
repairing the bridge, as amatter of public
necessity, without longer waiting the con-
venience of those havingthe matter in charge,
as we are informed that the Committee ap-
pointed by the Superior Court to whom the
matter was referred, have months since
made their report, and that it only needs
the action of the attornies to have the matter
determined- and why it has been allowed to
sleep on in undisturbed peace, is one of the
mysteries of the practice in our courts;
which we hope the commisssion recently
appointed by the Governor of this State, as
authorized by a vote of the General Assembly
will find some :adequate remedy.
Large numbers of building lots have been
sold on this island, and buildings contracted
for to be in readinesszfor this summer’s 0c.
cupancy; and the contractors are suffering
daily loss for the want of the bridge As
Bell's Island possesses one of the best, or
the best, bathing beach on the Sound shore,
and as the beach is to be put in order for
bathers, many of our citizens and our summer
visitors, will desire to avail themselves of its
comforts, but so long as this bridge is in its
present condition, they can only reach the
beach by hiring small muddy ,skifls, or—by
driving around robin 'hood's barn, over ale
most impassible apologies fop.,.roads,‘ adding
miles to their drive. The selectmc'n have
been, and, are debarred, from making the
needed repairsg-‘by’ arr i‘njpnetion sued cut
by some visionary people who desire a draw
in a bridge, ;over a private cmk, that is
only navigable at high water for flat fish.
Co. F’s Reception. ‘
One of the most delightful social events
of this or any other season was the invitation
Reception given by the Lockwood Rifles, at
their Amory, last Wednesday evening.
The armory, Lockwood’s Hall, was fresh
from the hands of the painters who had “re-
stored” the frescoed ceilings and freshened
up the entire interior with paint, bringing
back the old beauty and cheerfulness of this
ever-pleasing audience room. The, walls
were decorated with flags, knapsacks,crossed
muskets, swords, etc., and at the rear of the
stage was emblazoned in gold “We Greet
you once again," with the company. initials,
and the prize captured at New London last
Summer. Early in the evening the galleries
were§crowded with ladies and gentlemen to
witness the dress parade by the company on
the floor of the hall. Col. Crofut, with Ad-
j Itant Hubbell, and Assistant Surgeon
Burke; of his staff. and Capt. Jennings,
Lieuts.Hauschildt sndWardwell of the Burn-
side Guards, were present in full uniform.
Major Crows acted asColonel, and Lieut,
F. B. Smith as Adjutant. The Rifles march-
ed into the hall as two companies command-
ed by Capt. A. A. Betts and Lieut. A. M.
Kent. After the parade was dismissed
Capt.Betts surprised the men by putting them
through the marching drill. All the evolu-
tions were as well performed as was possible
in such limited quarters, and the proficiency
of both ofilcers and men was highly com-
mendable. The company marched down
stairs. stacked arms, and each individual
member returned to the hall to join their fair
partner in the dance. Excellent music was
furnished by the Howe orchestra of eight
pieces, and the prompter was a man who
thoroughly understood his business. About
midnight a halt Was called, and the Adams
Brothers soon had the hall transformed into
sdining room and were busily engaged in
“refreshing" the merry dances which they
appeared to be very successful in doing.
After supper dancing was resumed, and con-
tinued until about three o‘clock a... In. when
the end of the programme was rebelled and?
the fair wombn and brave men wandered
their way homeward, well pleased with the
anniversary and breathing good wishes for
the future of the Lockwood Rifles.
m
New Canaan had quite a little excitement,
Wednesday. A telephone message from
Norwalk put the local officers on the lookout?
for three fellows from Norwalk trying to
make their way “over the border” into New
York Stale. ‘ They were stopped by the lo-
cal ofiicers who were soon joined by Officers
Nelson and Lockwood of Norwalk. Two of
the men quietlvsubmitted, but the third re-
sisted and a melee £cnsued. Of course all
were secured and peace again prevailed.
The men were_broughtihere,fouud guilty and
fined.
Manager Mitchell has secured a great at-
traction for Saturday evening of this week,
at which time will appear Mr. Rosenfeld’s
great brilliant and successful comedy entitled
“Dr. Clyde." This compriny comes direct
from the Boston Museum, they having just
closed a season of four week's at that place.
The Boston papers speak in highest praise of
this company and pronounce it a great suc,
cess. Although this company is not known

De Long and His Little Party
Found Dead.
W ASHlNG'I‘ON, May 5.—Ofiicial circles,par-
ticularly that of the navy, have been shocked
by the receipt by Secretary Chandler this ev-
ening of the following messages:
LENA DELTA, March 24, 1882.
Found De Long and party dead. Found
all papers and books. .Wlll continue search
for Chipp. MBLVILLE."
The general opinion is that Chipp’s boat
capsized in the gale and that nothing but the.
bodies of himself and those with him, if
anything, will be found. The recovery of
De Long's papers is' considered extremely
fortunate. ' Following is the last letter re-
ceived from De Long. It gives the names of
the men who were with himin theboat ‘when
Every one;of the fourteen pa

who left De ng and went after succor,
perished with their brave commander and
have now been found in their icy shroud by
Melville's party at Lena Delta.
“LENA DELTA, Monday, September 19,
1881.—The following named fourteen persons
belonging to the steamer Jeannette, which
was sunk by ice on June 12,1881, in latitude
north 77 degrees 15 minutes, longitude 115,
landed here on the evening of the 17th inst.,
and will proceed on fact this afternoon to
try and reach a Settlement on Lena river.
