The Gazette has the largest cir- culation of any paper In Norwalk. and furnishes the lowest advertising . fates. . s. The Mugwump Dispensation. One of 'the astOnishing indications of the day, says the Washington Post, is to be found in the effect of the present administration upon the average cor- respondent. Without reference to the politics of his paper, the average cor- . "respondent finds himself impressed with the idea that there is something superior and extraordinary in the at- mosphere. This administration im- presses him as none other ever did be- fore. If he finds a Cabinet officer in- accessible or uncommunicative or . moody, it never occurs to him to com- plain, as he would have done two years ago. Instinctively he ascribes the situ- ation to noble and exalted causes. It is not that these gentlemen are lazy, or ' stuck up, or ignorant—as he would cheerfully have suggested before—but that they are so immersed in tremend- ous and sublimated thought. If things move slowly, he says that it is the fault of the Office seekers. When there is an otherwise unaccountable delay in making changes demanded by the country and necessary to its welfare, the average correspondent makes haste to say that, if the politicians would only let the President alone and spare him their vulgar and insistent impor- tunities, there would be no trouble of: any sort. , The newspapers reek withlthe inaud- lin cackle. All wholeSOmeness is gone. A fetich has been set up, and the whole . world has gone to worshiping. The _ country went Democratic on the tariff ’ issue, and all the Democratic leaders, from the President down, declared dur- ing the campaign that the people were groaning under a curse of spoliation, which they had been appointed by _ heaven to remove. But, now that the party has control in both branches of Congress, as well as in the executive de- partment, and now that there is no reason why the people‘should be denied relief, it is next door to impossible to find any one who will say that further delay is inexcusable. On the contrary, everybody goes about with his finger on his lips, tiptoeing and begging others to be still, because the adminis- tration is immersed in some mysterious and consecrated labor upon which the fate of future cycles and generations hangs. . It is like a strange dream—a phan- tasm of the summer night. All the rules that once defined selfishness, cow- ardice, stupidity, bad faith, humbug, and pretense appear to have been set aside. We have nothing left but awe, credulity, and infatuation. _ G. A. R. Reception. The memorial Window in the new Baptist church, at Danbury, which was purchased with funds contributed by the G. A. R.

A splendid performance will be given at Music Hall Saturday evening-when Mrs. Emma Andrews, the well known and popular elocutionist. of South N or- walk, will make her first appearance on the stage as an actress._ Mrs. An- drews will assume the leading roles in three one act plays, Viz: the Violin Maker, 3. strong one act romantic, drama, which had a successful run of 300 nights in Paris and London two years ago ; the Silent System, a one act comedy in which Miss Agnes Booth won so much success at Palmer’s Thea- tae recently, and the Dead Shot, Buckstone’s laughable _comedy, the best ever written by this famous au- thor. The performance will be given under the direction of Charles Leonard Fletcher, the well known stage direc- tor of New' York, and the company will include members of Mr. Fletcher’s New York company. Mr..Fletcher is a clever actor, and will ass1st Mrs. An- drews in the leading _‘parts. Mr. Fletcher enjoys the distinction of being the only artist besndes Richard Mansfield who has ever played that difficult role, Beau Brummell. His suc- cess was remarkable and compared well with Mr. Mansfield’s characteriza- tion. Mrs. Andrews has developed wonderful talent for the stage under Mr. Fletcher’s * supervmlon and her Norwalk friends will be anxious to know of the result of her new ambi- tion. Mr. Fletcher’s Wise choice of plays for her first appearance augurs well for her successful debut. Seats are now on sale, and no .one should miss this novel and interesting performance. , OPERA HOUSE. As we have seen. heretofore, an appeal for the Hospital always goes to the hearts of the people. The enter- tainment next Monday evening at the Opera House ought to bring out a full house because of this,-and because of the excellence of the attractions ofi'er- ed. The Farce, “Popplng the QueSe tion,”-"with Mr. Geo. Betts in the char- acter of the love-loin old bachelor,.is very funny, and very well acted. The Operetta is novel in its plot, and has al- ways drawn'a good audience wherever it has been presented. Music by Wheel- . , er & Wilson’s orchestra. . , 4 I At Hartford. The most sensational episode connec- ted with the proceedings of either branch of the General Assembly occur- red Wednesday morning. Gunn, Dem- ocratic leader of the House, and Heal- ey of Windsor Locks, who may be called assistant leader on the Republi- can side, were the disputants. The subject of debate was the bill amend- ing the civil procedure code, the text of it being as follows : . “In all cases where the defendant makes default or files a demurrer which is overruled and claims: a hearing in damages either party _to the action may - file claim for an inquest in damages by a jury, and thereupOn the question of damages shall be submitted to a jury as in any other civil action.” ‘ It was assumed that the object of the. proposed act was to give relief to those who had suits against railroad compa- nieh or other corporationsand thse desire to have a sympathetic jury pass on their grievances was defeated by the familiar method of a demurrer and the consequent transmission to the court of the matter of assessing dama- ges. People who did not before under- stand it would have received some light and intelligence from the debate of to-day. Tuttle and Healey‘spoke in favor of the bill. and Gunn and Stod- dard opposed. The former argued that it was the practice of railroad compa- nies to nominally default when suits were brought against them” and there- .by defeat the purpose of the jury sys- tem. In combatting this view Gunn said there could practically be noin— justice as a judge would be more likely to fairly assess damages than a jury. About this time out broke the tempest. “I don’t wonder.” said Healey, “that the gentleman from Milford talks this way as he is in the employ of rail- road and other corporations.” ‘ Gunn was on his feet in a second. “I have heard this sort of talk before,” said he, “and I assert that the gentle- man from Windsor Looks, in making the accusation, is a liar. . Then there was a scene, the members being manifestly disturbed while they awaited 'developements. Healey was deathly White‘as he arose from his seat. He said the Milford gentleman was dis- courteous to the House and its speakers. “ I mean no disrespect,” retorted Mr. Gunn,“but I am tired and sick of these accusations and innuendoes about my being here as a representative of cor- porations. vaartly represent Milford and only that. I presume the Windsor Locks gentleman spoke hastily, and -I will apologize to this house for my lang- uage if he also apologizes and withdraws his offensive remarks.” , . ~ Mr. Healey declined to retract unless Gunn first retracted. This the latter said he wouldn’t do, as he had-been the first one aggrieved. Therethe matter was left, the two gentlemen being left glaring at each other in a parliamentary sense. Mutual friends are confident of bringing them to an amicable under- standing. Tbe bill was defeated. William Hammersly was confirmed as judge of the Supreme court, all the 166 members present voting in the af- firmative. The Senate subsequently confirmed the appointment. The House convened in making the “close session” for black bass from May 1 to June 10. On an unfavorable report the spec- ial bill giving the Bridgeport Police commissioners power to retire super- anuated and disabled officers on half pay was rejected. The objects are pro- vided for in a bill already passed. There was also rejected the bill pro- viding that the item “spirituous and intoxicating liquors,” when sold to be drunk on the premises, should include all malt and fermented beverages. The bill would apply to cider, and this the members kicked upon. They also rejected the bill that no person not 15 years of age be-employed as a driver of a public vehicle under a penalty of $15 a day. , The Senate rejected the House ac- tion of last, week in cutting down the bill for services in the quo warranto cases, and approved the original bill. On motion of Coffee these bills were approved, and also a bill paying all Democratic officials deprived of their offices. ' . . For the use of the Fish commissmn $5,000 was appropriated for the propa- gation of shad. .9 it Was a Kicker. Will DeKlyn has a summer cottage at ‘Roton Point. Will proposes to spend .a portion of his time at the Point, this summer. , He has a mortal terror for water (for nav1gation purposes,) and he is not’ much on the walk either. On Wednesday he decided to purchase a horse, to be used in conveying him to and from the popular summer resort. He wanted a combination of style and docility and_to that end tried several horses. This morning, he found one that seemed to suit, but before closmg the bargain decided to try the animal.» He had it hitched up and drove about town for an hour or two, and _finally turned into Water street for a drive past the Warden and borough clerk’s ofiices. As he, passed ' he was heard to remark, “ Now Ihave got a horse that suits me ; gentle as a kitten and as stylish as one of the Misses St; Johns’ summer bon- nets.” Just at this moment the horse stopped and began to weave and then let his heels fly, and the air was soon full of a splintered dash board, etc. Will halloaed, “ Whoa! ” at the top of his voice, but the more he halloaed the more the horse weaved and kicked. He then reined the horse up, into Butcher Keeler’s peddling wagon, whereupon several men‘ who were standing , near ran up and secured him before any fur- ther damage had been done. .Mr. DeKlyn has decided to look far- ther before making a purchase.

The committee on Cities and Bor- oughs of the Legislature on Wednes- day he_ld cheering on the question of consolidating N orwalk, South N orwalk and East Norwalk into one city to be known as the city of Norwalk. South Norwalk was represented by J. Dono- van, James andRichard Golden, Attor- neys Light and Nelson, Taylor, J r., Councilmen Judson, Fox and Volk,Jus- tice Barrett and G. C. Stillson. Editor Maples and Attorneys Hubbell and Hurlbutt looked after the Borough’s in- terest. At the request of Chairman Pierce, Mr. Maples explained that the charter was constructed from the Dan- bury charter at the_ request of the com- mittee; that the citizens of the Borough had nothing to do with its construction and were not acquainted, with its pro- vnsnons, He also stated that the Bor- ough did hotdesue to force it upon South Norwalk if the people of that city did ,not wish to consolidate. He read a care- fully prepared statement showing the population of the three districts,as well walk compared with Bridgeport, Stam- ford and Danbury, and took the posi- tion, rightly as we think, that it was caused by the internecine warfare con- tinuously waged between the sections. Attorney Hurlbutt followed with a lu- cid statement of the condition of affairs in Norwalk and South Norwalk, and al- so stated that the BorouGh had nothing to do With the proposed charter and did not desire to force it upon South N orwalk if that city did not Wish it. He suggested that the committee allow the charter to be published and the citizens to vote upOn its adoption,in which case he thought a large number of those, in the city who had signed the protest would_vote_ for its adoption when made acquainted With the provisions of the proposed _. charter. After giving the committe a thorough insight into the condition of existing affairs in N or- walk, Mr. Hurlbutt left the matter with them to decide what they thought would be for the best interests of Norwalk. Borough clerk Hubbell followed with a similar statement and suggested that the committee decide what would be for the best interest of the people. Mr. Light, for South Norwalk, followed,ob- jecting to.the proposed consolidation, basmg his objection upon a remon- strance signed by about 700 voters of the city. When asked several times b Chairman Pierce as to what effect it would have if the citizens were given a chance to vote upon the question of adoption he adroitly dodged the ques- tion and referred to the remonstrance. Nelson Taylor, Jr. followed Mr. Light and startled the committee with the “statement that the citizens of the city .of South Norwalk were human beings. He then branched off into ancient ani- ‘Norwalk and the boys of South N or- walk of which he personally knew noth- ing as he was not a resident of the town at the time. What the remainder of his argument intended to convey was lost in Mr. Donovan’s personal attack upon the Borough. Mr. Donovan relieved himself of considerable spleen against his neighbors, entirely losing sight of the fact that the proposed consolidation had originated with the committee. After Mr. Don'ovan concluded his re- marks the committee took the papers find will render a decision at a later ate. . ——--—<+ Target Practice. Co.
