Editorial Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 15, 1882.
Dunn Gaznrrs :-— ‘
At last Washington statesmen have a sea-
action not connected either with Congress or
the wretched Gniteau family. The English
attack upon Alexandria and the destructive
bombardment of the ancient Egyptian city
has set our solons to thinking what might
happen to all our sea coast cities in event of
any sushi -:i foreign war, while we are in S"
defenseless a con-.lition as to our naval llf‘lliu-_
ment.‘ "At the state department much solici-~
tudyias been felt for the safety of the lives
and property of the large number of Ameri-
‘ cans residing in the doomed city. but. up to'
date, See. Frelinghuyscn has not been able
to learn that a single American has been .
killed, although much property must ngcessa— .
rlly have been destroyed by the English gun
boats, and it is thought very grave complica-
’ tions may ultimately ensue whenever .a de-
mand is made upon the British government
to make good these losses. The whole
bloody business is a most peculiar and waged
by England under the most transparent
false pretense. Her fleet bombarded and
destroyed the Egyptian city, for the avowed
purpose of . maintaining the constituted
authorities of Egypt in the exercise of their
lawful power ; but British powder is being
burnt really to protect the British creditors.
of Egypt. The control of Egyptian public
affairs is in the hands of a usurper, but
public sentiment so sustains the usurper that,
now that hostilities have actually commenced,
the lawful ruler, the Khedive, will, probably
be supplanted with a man in sympathy with '
the popular will.
As was foreseen, the Egyptian fortifications
with their inferior armanent and inadequate
construction were no sort of match for the
British iron-clads. The fort actually crum-
bled beneath the steady and well-directed
English bombardment ; but the soldiers of
. Arabi, though unskilled in firing heavy.ar-.
tillery, as their wild shots proved,and.thcugh
without shells, fought bravely. In short,
they made the best use possible of their.
means of resistance.
At the State Department it is deemed
more than probable that .this step of the
British Government may involve it in com-
plications with powers able to muster more
men and more guns than Egypt. Other
countries are watching, with a jealous eye,
the progress of events. It is nokto be sup-
posed that they will consent to any conquest
and acquisition of Egypt by Englu'nd.
Great Britain has never failed to finda pre-
text for the employment of brute force over
weaker powers, when English greed desired
the possession of the weuk.
The closing of the Suez canal has already
created a commotion, and what other inter-
national complications may grow out of this
fight nobody can predict, as England always
attempts at least, to extend her rational
domain whenever she explodes gunpowder.
.oarrror. NOTES.
The House committee on elections will
meet on Tuesdey, when it is thought that
the contested election cases of Buchanan vs.
Manning, Mississippi; Lee vs Richardson,
South Carolina; Anderson vs. Reed, Maine,
and Stovell vs. Cabell, Virginia, will be
acted upon and reports prepared for submis.
sion to the House. Sometime ago a report
of the committee was submitted to the House
recommending that Mr. Witherspoon, the
contestant in the Florida case of Wither-
spoon vs. Davidson, be granted leave to
withdraw his papers without prejudice,
which virtually left the contestee in undis-,
puted possession of the seat. It is now
thought quite probable .by members of the.
committee that before the final adjournment
a resolution will be introducd in the House
proposing the appointment of a special com-
mittee to proceed to Florida for the purpose
of thoroughly investigating the alleged ir-
regularities of the election in the first dis-
trict. .
run INTERNAL REVENUE BILL.
‘ Yesterday the Senate resumed consideration
of the Internal Revenue bill, the floorbcing
accorded to Mr. Bayard. After elaborately
dwelling upon the question immediately un-
der consideration the Senator passed on to
general review and criticism ofthe present
tariff system, reviewing its history from the
time of its adoption to the present hour, to
show that it had passed from being tarifi for
revenue to being a tariff for protection.
Protection should he the incident not the
principle, and it was to protection as a prin-
cipel that Mr. Beck omred an amendment
reducing ten cents per pound the tax on man-
ufactured tobacco. Pending discussion the
matter went over for the day.
PENSION BILLS.-
The Senate yesterday devoted itself for an
hour to the consideration of pension :bills,
reported by Senator Plait, a number of
Which were passed, among them one increas-
ing the pension of Elizabeth C. Custer,
widow of .Gen. Geo. A. Custer, to $50 per
month, and one (a House bill) granting a
pension of $50 per month to Betty Taylor
Danbridge, daughter of President Taylor.
AHouse pension bill was amended by the
adoption of a general provision prohibiting
the payment of double pensions.
There has been some complaint on the
part of pensioners on account of the delay
in the payment of pensions, but the payment
has not entirely ceased, as shown by the fact
that on Saturday last the Secretary of the
Interibr signed requisitions for twelve mil-
lions of pension money. , 'f
The Commissioner of Pensions has decid-
ed thatheresfter all claims for pension rising
under section 3,718 R. S. will be settled in
‘his oflce, to determine the amount ofpen-
sion due and to whom it shall be paid .in
casesof widows and. children of diseased
pensioners, as well as in case of reimburse-
ment to those who bore the expenses of last
sickness and burial of decedent.

The temperance people at Washington
turned out last night and gave Mrs. J. Ellen
Foster, of Iowa, aperfect ovation. Masonic
Temple was filled. Mrs. Foster spoke at
great length about the prohibition victory in
Iowa, and was loudly cheered. After the
speech she held a reception which was
largely attended.
Among those from Washington in attend-
ance upon the thirty-eighth annual session of
the National Division of Sons of Temperance
of North America now convened at Concord,
N. H. is Mr. Wm. Hamilton Armstrong, the
able and efficient Chief Law Clerk of the
. Internal Revenue Bureau. Mr. Armstrong
was for many years secretary and treasurer
of the national division and will with his
wife, make a tour flat the White Mountain
regions after thendjournment of the nation-
a1 divisions session and on his return to
Washington contemplates visiting friends in
Norwalk.

It is estinfiltcd that the revenue reduction
bill, when amended in accordance with the
action of the republican senatorial caucus,
will reduce the annufil taxation about
$40,000,000. The amendments making rc-
ductions in the tariff will probablylbe readily
adopted in the Senate, as the democrats
favor that policy. The extreme protection-
fats in the House 100 with disfavor upon
such tariff changes, a (1 they oppose the
Senate amendments. It is general admitted
that the consideration of this bill, in its
amended form, will carry the present ses-
sion of Congress along into August anyhow;
and should conflict of opinion arise between
the two houses, the session may be extended
tothe middle of the month. Some of the
republican leaders are strongly of the opin-
ion that it would be unwise, from a party
standpoint, to ‘ let this Congress adjourn
without making some provision for a sub-
stantialreduction of taxation. They think
that course would help the party in the com-
ing camp'aign. The indications are that the
majority intend to pass the bill at this ses-

sion, oven at the expense of the discomfort
of working in hot. weather. One of the ob-
jections made against the House bill is that
it cuts off such taxation as the masses do not
feel, and that to pass it in that shape would
in a party sense, be worse than to leave the
taxes as they now stand.

The Boston Express due at South Nor-
walk at 11:42 p. m., had a narrow escape on
Saturday night. This train stops at South
Norwallr, and at the usual place the engine
driver reversed his engine and put on the
air brakes, but for some cause the brakes did
not act, and five fierce blasts from the whistle
sounded for the hand brakes, which' were
immediately applied, but the train being
heavylwas not brought to a stop we are in-
formed,'until it had passed and knocked
down the drOp signal which is operated by
the opening and shutting of the draw bridge;
and the train was only stopped within a short
distance of the open draw. The patent air
brakes in use on this road evidently need to'
be looked after, he constantly as any other
apparatus connected with passenger trains.

Mosquitoes.
A correspondent from South Norwalk
writes thus: "Perhaps you country people
don’t have all of the luxuries that pertain to
city life, and for such omission are greatly to
be pitied; but there is one that we city folks
would doubtless be glad 'to divide, or even”
make over in full, if your people Were in,
good biteable condition, and that is the mil-Z
lions of mosquitoes that infest this city and
the shores adjacent. The highway leading-
size we feel confident that this thoroughfare
would take the medal. There seems to be
tists as to the mosquitoes particular love for
the people of this city, though it has been
suggested, and perhaps it may be the true
cause thereof, that owing to the frequent and
prolonged inquests, our people have become
fat at public expense, and thereforeoffer a

The papers are working up another boom
for Edison, by claiming that his incandescent
electric light is really a success after all.
The light is to 'be supplied to dwellings, in
New York, from district stations. In Boston
it has been tried, and the papers say that the
light is soft, very bright, steady, pleasing to
the eye, not dangerous, and fully 50 per
cent. cheaper than gas. We can believe all
this more implicitly when the elaborate
preparations for lighting New York city
have been tried and found satisfactory.

Norwalk Wake up.
An opportunity is now offered our citizens,
if they will act promptly and energetically,
to secure and locate here a desirable business
enterprise which will employ at least 800
operatives. This of course would bring in
many new families and could not help but
add largely to the trade of our Merchants, in
every branch of merchandise, and also make
a demand for new :buildings and building
lots, thus improving business and enhancing
the value of real estate on all sides. _
This concern has been in active business
in Chicago for about twenty years.
jector having made his fortune out of it
proposes to retire and leave the business in
the bands of his coadjutors, but though re-
titing from active participation therein he is
willing and anxious to continue a large stock-
holder in the company. A removal of the
Works being necessary. and it being evident
to the managers that the manufacturing, can
be done to much better advantage and with
more profit in the East than in Chicago, they
desire to establish the Wink; somewhere in
this vicinity where they can have superior-
land and water communication with New
York, and pleasant, comfortable and healthy
locations for employees and their families.
It is proposed to raise a joint stock com-
pany of $250,000, of which they want our
citizensto take only $50,000, they furnish-
ing the major part themselves. They are
willing to allow the President to be chosen
from among our Norwalk business men, and
claim confidently that the business will pay
from 15 to 20 per cent. peryear.
They propose to have the stock and
machinery of the present works appraised by
fair and competent judges, and then turn it
in for so much stock in the new company:
and claim that when removed here and ready
to start, that there will be a solid cash value
of $100,000 in the works alone.
In their search for a properlocation the
managers came here last week. They visited
our iron foundries to see if any had sufficient
facilities for doing their castings, examined
Phoenix Block to see if it was suitable for
their main works, looked at dock property.

preferred to rent suitable buildings ‘if such

again soon to confer with them, and claim
that they can show it to be an opportunity
seldom offered to any place to take hold of.
We hope our citizens will immediately
ivestigate the matter, and if everything is
found satisfactory, secure it at once as one of
our industries. p
A meeting of the Board pf Trade, as will
be seen by sdv., is called to consider the
matter, and all interested in the welfare and
growth of our town are invited to attend the

The Egyptian War.
‘ The English war ships commenced the
bombardment of Alexandria on Tuesday last
and the result has been the destruction of the
earth forts and almost of the entire city,
what was not damaged by the cannonading
having been done by fire started by marau-
ders. The Arabi Bey’s troops soon evacua -
ted the city and it was left to pillage by the
prisoners and vagabonds of the pits. Ad—
miral Seymour however landed a small body
of men to protect persons and property. The
Khedive took refuge on a war‘ vessel and is-
sued a mandate deposing Arabii‘Bey. The
joint powers have invited Turkey to occupy
Egypt with an armed force. Further troubi
les are anticipated.

The week will probably complete ..thc

it is hoped that the sidings and turn-table,
at the Point will be in working order by the

' As there have been some published errors
in stating the length of main line and branch-
es of the road, we now give the official fig-
ures: Main line from Wilson Point to
Danbury, 26.45-100 miles; branch from
Bethel to Hawleyville; 6 miles. branch from
Brunchville to Ridgefield,4 miles; making in
all 36-45—100 miles. There is in addition to
this (including those about to be laid
on the‘extension and in yard in nursery
pfoperty) “eight. miles of sidings. making a
total length of track of 44-45-100 miles.
The company own 8 locomotives; average
weight including water, 50 tons each. '
_12 passenger cars. ' '
”17 boxcars. _
‘.73 flat cars, together with caboose and
eight hand cars.
The whcle of this equipment at this sea-
ao'n of the year is in constant use, and th
almost daily large excursions to‘ Brookside
and Wilson Point. necessitate the frequent
borrowing of passenger cars from the Con-
solidated road '
The time for commenping steamboat trains
to the point had not at this writing, been
fixed, the committee having the matter in
charge, having decided not to run such
trains until an acceptable boat is procured.
In, the mean time excursions, and regular
short trains will be run 'as soon as the track
is in order.

The Fireman’s Celebration at '
New Milford,
The lively scenes in our Borough Streets
early last Wednesday morning reminded our
icitizens of the good old times when parades
'of the Fire Department were at their grand-
est. Enthusiastic firemen, all aglow with an-
fticipations of “a good time” about to be real--
ized, hurried through the streets, red shirts
and blue shirts were seen everywhere, .and
the air was filled with the strains of martial
music. The various Companies marched to
.the D. a N. R. R. freight depot and careful-
ly loaded their “bright and shining" apparat-
us upon the platform cars, to be attached to
the special train. At 8 o’clock the train
started, having on board Phoenix Steam En-.
zine Company with the Stamford Drum
Corps; Pioneer Hook do Ladder Company
with the Americas Drum Corps of this place,
Hope Ho'se Company, a delegation from Old
Well Truck prany, and a number of old
firemen and others anxious to enjoy a pleas-
ant excursion, view the parade, and partake
of the hospitality of the New Milford people.
The day being clear and bright the excur-
sionists enjoyed a pleasant ride over the Dan-
bury St Norwalk Railroad to Bethel, thence
over the branch to Hawelyville, and up the
Housatonic Road to New Milford, the trip
lasting two hours. Upon arrival our firemen
were received by the Water Wich Hose Com-
pany and escorted to the public green, where
the apparatus was deposited and the firemen
taken to the Town Hall where they were re-
galed with a nice lunch of coffee and sand-
wiches, after which they had 'about an hour
to examine the towa, and to greet the fire-
men from other places. At 12 o’clock the
procession, embracing sixteen companies,
five brass bands, six drum corps, under the
direction of a marshall and five assistants,
took up the line of march. The parade last-
ee some two hours, when came the “trial of
speed" by the Hose companies, “Humane,"
of Danbury carrying off the prize of $25.
Hope Hose made a good run for it, but ow—
which could' not have been foreseen, they did
not make the‘ hydrant. They “hope" for
better luck next time.
The Steamer Phoenix gave a specimen of
her ability to throw water, which exhibition
attracted quite an audience.
' A splendid dinner was served in the Town
Hall and the ladies took good care that all
wore well served, after which there was a
rush for the train which arrived home about
7 o’clock. A large number were left behind
and had to come by way of Bridgeport; some
spent the night in Danbury and came home
the next morning—some even as late as after-
noon: Three of the Stamford Drum Corps
got as far as Danbury and finding there was
no way of getting down,‘ started on foot to
walk home but were overtaken at Winnipauk
by the morning' train, which they boarded
thinking they had had a pretty long line of
march for one fire parade.
Taking into' consideration that New Mil-
ford' has only 1,500 inhabitants, and that they
received and entertained about 600 guests
and sent them home well pleased, and saying
it was the best parade they‘had ever attend-
ed, is something for them to be proud of.‘
Among the Marshalls was John Treadwell,
formerly of the Fairfield County Bank. ,
Among the Bethel firemen were found
Charley Freudenthal just as happy as, he
ever was among the Norwalk boys. -

A gentleman who was on the train recently '
wrecked in New Jersey describes how Gen-
eral Grant behaved. He says: “I knew the
car was off the tack and had not made 'my
miid what to do about it, when General
Grant got up, and stooping down in the aisle,
grasped the iron-work of the seat On each
side. I- said to myself, -‘Old-man, your head
is lbvel, if'you are a general,’ and I got up
and followed‘hls example. Hardly had' I
changed my' position when the car gave an
lurch to the right, and then went down what
seemed to be an- interminable distance. It
finally settiedinto the water, lying on its left
side. The right side was above water, and
General Grant, poking out the window, drew .
himself up and climbed out of the car."

Miss Dyas at Newport.
The Newport correspondent of the Boston
Herald, of last Tuesday. says:
The engagement of Miss Dyas to act at the
first performance of the series of representa-
tions which are to be begun at the Casino
Theatre on Wednesday evening next, the
13th ist., is a stroke of policy which does
rare credit to Mr. George Holland, the mana-
ger of this enterprise, for the appearance of
this accomplished artiste at once stamps the
entertainments as of the superior character
which alone can hope to attract the summer
residents of Newport. As the leading lady
of Wallack’s Theater, Miss Dyas gained a
secure place in the affections of the best class
of theatre-goers, and her entree as Esther
Eccles in “Caste," and a role which she
acted many nights in England, and virtually
created in this country, is certain to be ap-
plauded “with both hands.”
The New York Herald of Thursday has the
following :. .
The performance of Robertson’s delightful
comedy>“Cast_e" at the Casino Theatre this
evening was in every particular a success.
The comedy was presented with commend-
able correctness of detail, and the scenery
and stage properties were tasteful and effect-
ive. The appearance of Miss Dyas, after so
long an absence from the stage, was a most
agreeable event. She acted as charmingly
as ever as Esther Eccles, .and nothing could
have been more cordial than the reception ac-
corded her by the audience. '
