Editorial Letter.

Dana Gaznmn :—
' The heats of debate, in addition to the
heats of summer, have made the past week
almost unbearable in and about the Capitol.
The Republicans of the Senate met in caucus
and agreed that they would not adjourn
without repealing the taxes on Bank Checks,
and deposits, on matches, perfumerics and
proprietary medicines and the. 25 per cent.
extra tax on sugars. This was enough for
the democrats, with their amazing talent for
blundcring. A republican caucus had agreed
to the above abatements, ergo the Republi-
ems \vere in.a conspiracy to help their polit-
ic il fortunes in a fall campaign by reason
thereof, and ergo, the democracy must at all
hazards, defeat this reasonable public demand
for such abatement, and consequently what
with dilatory debates and motions and pal-
try amendments. they have virtually succeed-
ed in throwing so much of tariff reform over
to the next session. Senator Morrill made a
brave and determined defense of his bill, but
was finally forced to give way to the Naval
Appropriation bill because of the long time
consumed in trying to pass his tax abatement
bill in spite of the opposition to the demo-
crats. Had the democrats fallen into line
with the Republicans and voted solid with
them for these abatements, they could have.
won equal praise and popularity with the
republicans among the masses of American
citizens, but as usual, they have put them-
selves hopelessly on- the record as opposing
the reduction of taxation, when such taxation
can better be dispensed with than not.
The House adjourned yesterday till Mon-
day, waiting for the Senate‘s action on the
unadjusted Appropriation bills. The Senate
spent all of yesterday and today in discuss-
ing the Naval Appropriation bill, into which
some objectional legislation had been intro-
duced towards a radical reorganization of the
personal of the navy, and under all circum-
stances, the House did a sensible thing in ad-
journing over to Monday, although it appar-
ently tendsvo a postponement of the time
of adjournment.
Rivas axn nmaoa.
In the River and Harbor bill as passed,
Connecticut has been exceptionally fortunate
in securing a large share of this questionable
Congressional loot. Opinion is about equally
divided on the point of the President vetoing
the bill. It would undoubtedly add greatly
to his popularity, with the masses Of the
people were he to do so and was not the
question of further delaying a final adjourn-
ment, it is thought there would not be a
doubt as its being the subject of Executive
veto.
Besides appropriations for Harbors which
is published elsewhere, in our news columns
it also has the following : ,
That the, Secretary of War is hereby direc-
ted, at his discretion, to cause examinations
or surveys, or both, and estimates of costs of
improvements proper to be made, at the
following points, namely : Norwalk Harbor,
Connecticul,Madison Harbor, in the State
of Connecticut, Duck Island Harbor, in the
State of’ Connecticut, with a view to the
construction of a short breakwater for a har-
bor of refuge, Black Rock Harbor, Stamford
Harbor and Westport Harbor, Branford
Harbor. The last items prove that our Rep-
resentative, Mr. Miles, has not permitted the
Commerce Committee to overlook the
Fourth District’s interest in River and Her-
bor appropriations.
ran va'ro.
Senator Hawley made a telling speech on
the naval bill yesterday, and in the course Of
it expressed his views strongly in favor of
allowing a veto of any section, or line of a
bill, and Representatve Flower, of New
York, has introduced a proposed amendment
to the Constitution which, in the Opinion of
many Of the best thinkers in this country,
would be a wise addition to that instrument.
It proposes to confer power upon the Presi-'
dent to use discrimination in passing upon
appropriation bills; to authorize him to ap-
prove such provisions as he deems wise or
expedient and to disapprove those he regards
as unwise or unnecessary. Under the Con-
stitution as it exists the President must
either approve or veto the entire bill. This
plan of investing the Executive with a
discriminating veto power has been adopted
in New York, and its effects are universally
declared to have been beneficial. - The river
and harbor bill just sent to the President
contains some provisions which he could and
would, no doubt, most heartily approve, but
in order to give them the force of law he
would have to approve other ‘tems which
his judgment condemns. If the President
had the power to employ discretion as to the
items of a bill,there would now be no ques-
tion as to the fate of the chief features of the
river and harbor bill.

The tworhouses of Congress are not in
very cordial relations towards each other at
present. The course of the House in at-
tempting to assert authority over the number
and pay of Senate employees, and in refusing
to allow the item of appropriation for the
mileage of Senators who attended the extra
session last fall, has stirred the wrath of the
upper body. '
now 1r WILL srann.
The next House will contain 325 members,
32 more than the present, and this increase
of membership is a somewhat perplexing
feature in making estimates. The Republi-
cans are counting upon a majority ranging
from 15 to 25, while the Democratic calcu-
lators are sure that the advantage in numbers
to their side will not be less than a dozen
or two. One of the possible events is that.
both the old parties may fall short of a ma-
jority in the next House. The spirit of inde-
pendence, which is so prevalent, may be
represented in the next House by members
enough to wield the 'balance of power. This
is a contingency which the organs seem not
to have considered yet; but the condition of
parties in New York, Pennsylvania, Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio and
other States gives an aspect to the canvass
that is quite hopeful to the Independents.
WANT orrxcn.
There are twenty-four hundred applicants
for office at the hands of Secretary Teller on
file already, and there is no telling how many
more may be put in. If any man feels en-
vious of the head of the Interior Department,
let him, just for a moment, contemplate his
position as the victim of twenty-four hun-
dred Office seekers in mid-summer. It is
thought that the Sens tors and members have
enough more to swell this list to five or six
thousand. If the increase of pension force
bill passes, as expected, the Secretary of the
Interior will have about 600 additional clerks
_to appoint, and the various bureaus of thg
new department about one hundred and fifty
more. It is safe to say that not one appli-
cant in ten for these clcrkships is likely to
succeed.

While P. T. Barnum was here with his
“ greatest show on earth," he engaged your
correspondent to make a search of the Revo—
lutionary war and Colonial records in the
State Department, to get the names of all the
Connecticut Barnums whose patriotic ser-
vices in that era had given them a place in
the files of the Department. The following
is the transcript of the Official record:

l’y KNlT GOODS BILL.
' Last Wednesday’s New York Tribune has
a special telegraphic dispatch from here, giv-
ing the facts in regard to the Knit Goods
bill now before the Senate for the correction
of a clerical error, made in transcribing the
tariff law in the last edition of the statutes.
adhere to this error, every knit goods factory
in the country is closed up (as it admits the
manufactured goods some twenty-two per
cent. lower than the wool out of which they
are made); but the metropolitan journal's
enterprise is made conspicuous by the fact
that the entire case was given in the Gazs'r'ra
correspondence three weeks ago.

The Sundry Civil Appropriation bill,which
was reported to the Senate to-day, aggregates
$25,764,000, an increase over the House bill
of $1,788,000. Among the principal items
of appropriation which have been added by
the Senate Committee are the following:
For a steam tender to be used in New
York harbor, $60,000; increase of the appro-
priation for coast and geodetic survey (to re-
survey the coast of Long Island), $16,000;
navy yard, New London, Conn, $25,000;

On motion of Senator Windom the House
bill was passed granting to the widow Of
Henry H. Garaett (colored), late Minister to
Liberia, an amount equal to her husband’s
salary for one year.
The House bill known as the Deuster bill,
for regulating the carriage of passengers by
sea, was taken up by a vote of 25 to 17, and
passed without objection. The other House
bill upon the same subject was also passed
by the Senate.

The Extension.
The surfacing and bringing the track of
the extension to grade, has been greatly de-
layed by the frequent excursion trains run
during the past week, which have prevented
the regular running of the gravel train, and
by the discovery made by contractor Phil-
lips of “ Seems’ Hole,” which now appears
to have been no myth, but has always
existed, though not before discovered, about
midway of the crossing of Cove Creek, by
the roadway of the extension. Thousands
of yards of gravel dumped at this fill have
gone out of sight, and the cry is “Mere!
more l" while there is no telling, as yet, of
this hole’s capacity. Already the embank»
ment at the base measures seventy feet in
width, and soundings give the depth of mud
to be displaced by hard material an average
of twenty feet, and in length about one hun-
dred and fifty feet. It is now‘hoped that
this fill will be compteted this week, and as
soon as it is completed short trains will be
run to the Point. The time when steamboat
connecting trains will be commenced, de;
pends upon the procuring of a boat accepta-
ble to the railroad extension committee.

ants for the discovery 0 “ Seems’ Hole,"

required to purchase and conduct the busi-

er went down to make a short visit in Brook-

feeling as well as usual, but suddenly, while
preparing to go to the boat to return to Nor-'
walk, a blood vessel in her head burst, the
blood spouting out of her nostrils in large
quantities. Several physicians were imme-
diately called and Captain Crabbe sent for.
The physicians finally succeeded in stopping
the flow of blood by plugging her nostrils
with cotton. On Wednesday last. they re-
moved the plugs, an operation accompanied
by distress and danger. The patient then
gradually improved, and on Saturday last
the Captain brought her home, and now
hopes for complete recovery.

Since our last issue Commissary Meeker
succeecbd in chartering the schooner Jaoon
I. Housman for this yearfs cruise. The ves-
sel arrived here on Friday, and was soon
fitted up for the occupancy of our Neptune
boys. She is a fine, roomy boat, of the same
class as the Car-ll which the club had last
year, andiwill pronably give good satisfac-
tion, as she is evidently a good seller.
The club began gathering early on Monday
morning, and our streets were soon alive
with their scurrying here and there, resplen-
dent in bright new semi-navy uniform, blue
coat, brass buttons, gold trimmings, &o.. and ‘
at 2.15, with colors flying, guns firing, drum
corps playing, Nep’s cheering and ladies
waving handkerchiefs, the new tug Freddie
W. Decker pulled the Housman from Hill's
Wharf out into the stream and down the
creek to South Norwalk, where they made
their first stop, tying up at the Steamboat.

iff's Officer, who had in tow the Club's Com-
missary, be having got left by the Housman
leaving up-town ahead of time._ After a
short tarry, gathering up Odds and ends, the
club at 3.45 finally started off on their cruise
for the “Isles of the Sea,” being accompa-
nied down the harbor by quite a number of
friends, ladies and gentlemen, who returned
home on thetug. Postmaster Keeler, by the
force of habit, was the first man to jump

t you try Carter’s Little Liver
by burglars, during the absence of the
family, who have been spending several
weeks with Mr. Waterman’ssister, Mrs.
Wm. H. Swords, at South Norwalk. The
Brooklyn Times gives the following account
of the affair:
One of the boldest operations yet reported
is the robbery of 115 Reid avenue, the resi-
dence of C. E. Waterman, a well-known
photographer, whose family is spending the
summgr at South Norwalk.
On Saturday last Mr. Waterman also went
to South Norwalk, securely locking his doors
and windows, but neglecting to notify the
police Of his proposed absence.
He returned last night and was surprised
to find his front basement opened. Thinking
it might be left Open by his own carelessness
he went up stairs and was further astonished
at a strong smell of camphor. Then be con-
cluded that his house ,
HAD BEEN ROBBED.
Lighting the gas, Mr. Waterman commenc-
ed a most thorough investigation and found
that burglars had forced open the front
basement door by means of jimmy, the
marks of which were plainly visible. In the
(lining room, the buffet had been stripped
and rifled of all the silver ware, knives, forks
and spoons, and table linen. The silver plat-
ed ware was found in one corner by the win-
dow broken up where it had been tested for
solidsilver. Some lager beer in bottles, and
the food that had been kept in the house,
served to make a fine rcpast for the intruders.
A box of fine Reina Victorias, which had
been presented to Mr. Waterman to use in the
country, but forgotten by him, had also been
stolen. Every movable article of value in
the parlor was taken,rand all the sleeping
rooms above, closets and trunks had been
rifled; and the articles not wanted were
strewn over the floor. Even the beds did not
escape the search of the burglars, for they
were stripped of their linen. In fact. all the
table and bed linen in the house had been re-
moved. .
Mr. Waterman found that a new $45 suit
of clothes, and in fact, all of his other cloth-
ing was missing. Mrs, Waterman’s fur lined
cloak, valued at $00, and a silk dress, valued
at $60, together with-all other articles of
clothing belonging :to her, her children and
the servant girl had disappeared.
The house is in the centre of a row of
brown stone fronts, on Reid avenue, between
Quincy street and Lexington avenue, with
vacant lots in front and-ream: Thcloss is be-
tween $300 and $500.

A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
. To our late Brother, Increase Allen, by
Our Brothers’ Lodge, No. 10, I. O. O. F.:
Resolved, That in the death of Brother‘
Allen, who so long was a member of the
Order of Odd Fellows and of this Lodge, we
lose a valued member and esteemed friend,
one whose interest in our Order and Lodge
was of sincere regard, and although in conse-
quence of his infirmities he was for along
time obliged to be absent from the meetings
Of the Lodge, yet his brotherly esteem for
the welfare and prosperity Of our Lodge was
boundless and heartfelt to the end of his life.
Resolved, That we m'onrn his loss, both in
the circle of Fraternity and in the commu-
nity. Brother Allen always held our respect
as a man of sterling integrity, faithful to his
friends, true to all the obligations of citizen-
ship and neighborly considerations; peaceful
and kind in disposition, none knew him but
to regard him as apattcrn and- example for
them to follow. Our friend and brother has
gone to that abode where the wicked cease
from troubling and the weary are at rest. To
his afflicted family we tender our heartfelt
and brotherly sympathy at this their and
bereavement, believing that He who carcth
for us all in our afllictioas, will give to them
'that aid and consolation so much needed in
, this hour of their trial.
Resolved, » That a copy of these resolutions
be spread on the records of the Lodge, and
the Secretary send a copy to the family of
our deceased brother.
