EDITORIAL LETTER.
Wasnmc'rox, Feb. 4th, 1884.
Dru}: Gazn'r'rn :—~T_hc committee raised
rrnder the Sherman resolution to examine
the causes leading to the political murder
of colored men at Danville and Mississippi
recently, have bad a meeting and resolved
to hold their meetings here, in ‘, so far as
the examination of the Virginia; massacre
is concerned, and to send a committee
down to Mississippi to investigate the
political murders in that state. That the
result will be as always before everyone
knows, but the nation cannot afford to
pass over without notice these repeated
butcheries of unoife‘ndod colored men,
who have done nothing but exercise their
rights of opinion and the right which the
laws confer upon them of voting as and
for whom they please. It is notorious
that these privileges are not allowed the
colored.men of the South by white Demo-
crats whatever may be said by intense
partizan orators and papers, and this Con
greesionel investigation will prove it again
for the one hundredth time andthat
beyond the power of truthful contradic-
tion. . .

The death and funeral of Congressman
Bdmu’nd W. 11. Mackoy, of the Charles-
ton or seventh South Carolina district,
was among the melancholy events of the
past week. His is the seventh decease
among those who were elected to the
present House of Representatives, an un-
precedented and pathetic mortality. He
was a man of resolute will and purpose,
and was the 'only Republican who was
permitted to take his seat in the House
from that section of ancient secession,
although it is wall known that there are
overwhelming Republican. majorities in
nearly of all the other six Congressional
districts of that state. His funeral ser-
vices wcre held in the-hall of the House,
and a short, but beautiful and appropriate
_ discourse was delivered by the Rev. Dr.
Shipan of All Souls' church. His remains
were buried here beside those of his father
who died here some years since. One of
the and features of this death was anot
exhibition oi the “brutalities of slavery.”
Not a fellow colleague from his State
could be induced to announce poor
' Mackcy’s death to the House. It had to
bc/donc by a member from another State.
The incident only goes to show how the
bitterness of patisan fooling can overcome
every sentiment of chivalry and nobility
in the hearts of these proud southrons,
and obliterate all regard for the world-
approved maxim, "De mortals m‘l m‘n‘
bonum."
TxLaGkAPnY.
On Wednesday Senator Platt introduced
a resolution, which passed the Senate
Friday, directing an investigation by the
Senate committee on postoflces and post-
roads into the co’st of telegraphic corres—
pondenco and how such cost has been
affected by contracts between the Western
Union and other companies and by large
stock dividends. On Thursday the presi-
dent of the greatest monopoly on earth,—
the Western Union Telegraph company
—Dr. Norvin Green, gave the Senate
committee on postofliees and postrosds a
very entertaining talk. What Dr. Green
does not know about the telegraph busi-
ness is hardly worth knowing, and he
does not fail to present his arguments in
the strongest form possible from a West-
ern Union standpoint. He is opposed to
the establishment of telegraphic lines by
the government, for he well knows no
‘ Congress would dare to buy the Western
Union with it's enormously watered capital
and he knows that the establishment of
compotingiinos, with chargca'based on
the honest cost of construction and main-
tainancc, would be ruinous to the interests
of the great corporation he represents.
Were there a reasonable probability that
the government could' be induced to buy
the lines and assume the liabilities of his
company at par—then, no doubt, he could
. advance many ingenious arguments show-
ing the desirability of government control
of the telegraph business. President
Garrett, of the Baltimore. and Ohio rail-
road, is letting the public behind the
scenes in telegraph management with a
most refreshing candor. Between this
gentleman and Mr. Huntington, Mr. Jay
Gould;is getting his biography written
. much fuller. than he gave it himself before
the Senate committee last summer. Mr.
Garrett, in the picturesque language of
the street, is giving Mr. Gould away. He
says that the shrewd individual, by 'a
series of manipulations, succeeded in add-
ing $81,000,000 to thestock of the' West-
ern Union at a cost to himself of $4,000,-
000. This would be called a pretty good
profit, and shows that Mr. Gould can
stand a pretty heavy shrinkage in West
'ern Union stock without much loss to
himself. hBeforo Mr. Gould went into
‘ the Western Union he described it to Mr.
Garrett as the “most vulnerable property
in the United States.” ’

FAREWELL KEIFlrt.
The attack made by ex—Spcsker. Keifcr
upon Gen. II. V. Doynton, Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnstr Gareth
and Hartford Cement, has pretty certainly
placed that devious anti brilliant Ohio
stateman’s future behind him. Those
who know the two men do not entertain
the shadow of doubt but that Keifer
manufactured his accusation against
Boynton out of whole cloth, and stood up
in his place in the House and gave utter-
rance to the col105sal lie and all its circum»
atantiai details, with brazen audacity that
would have put the ancient Annsniss to
the blush. The writer has known Gen.
B. for twenty years or more, and what
over his eccentricities'mny be, he is the
last man in Washington, upon whom such
accusations as Keiier has uttered could be
made justly to adhere. Boynton is noi-
ther is knavo or foot as all men know who
know him, and Keiier‘s charges if true
would prove him both, whereas Kolfer’l

officially established by the committee of

temptible practices while speaker. Alec

run TARIFF.
It was reported about the Capitol you
tcrdsy that Morrison was going to blister
Sam Rsndall by the introduction of n
Tariff bill, such as he knows will fill the
bill with the western Democracy. We
would commend to the perplexed Demo-
crats of the House the adoption of the
more subtle if not more lucid tariff
measure,‘which the Democratic members
of the New Jersey Legislature incubated
after sleepless nights and much caucu’sing
in order to meet the troublesome tariff
resolution introduced by the Jersey He
publicans. Last Monday the Democrats
antagonized the protective bill of the
Republicans with one that better suits the
befoggcd and befogging attitude of the
party on this subject, and, then passed a
resolution of definition, to the effect that
the Demotiratic party favors “a Tariff for
revenue limited to the necessary expendi
tures of the government, and so adjusted
as to give home protection without foster-
ing monopolies." Now, if some Demo-
crat in Congress will only explain this
explanation, the country can understand
what the Democratic position on tho
Tarifi really is, and if not, why not w
nascsu'rrns.
The dime novel has done its perfect
work here. Thursday last the police
discovered the existence in the heart of
t e capital of a secret band of j'uvenilc
'c rmiuals, with oaths. laws, grips, etc.,
the object of the gang being robbery of

The committee of the Maryland logis-
iature on Chesapeake bay and tributaries
which consists of eighteen members in
the House and seven in the Senate, had
before them a committee of the Baltimore
canned goods exchange, and a delegation
of Anne Arundeltongmen It was stated
that the exchange had sent out a number
of inquiries in regard to the oyster sup-
ply. Of over 300 answers received all
but a few agreed that the oyster supply
was diminishing, and that the laws were
not being enforced. It was thought the
closing of the Potomac river and Poco-
moke sound to dredgcs was of first
importance. The nextrn importance was
the shorter season and not permitting
oysters being taken for any purpose
during the close reason. The price ‘of
oysters this season showed that the supply
was diminishing. The price was nearly .
25 per cent. more than last year, and 75 ;
per cent more than five years ago. ‘ {
Capt. Burtis, on behalf of the tongers
said the oysters wanted rest. Dredging
should he stopped for some time. The
dredging grounds had been broken up,
and ii the longing ground were also
broken up what would they do for
oysters? Dredges, if confined to dredg
ing grounds, could not pay their Crews.-
It would take double the police force to
enforce the laws. Ho favored a dredg-
ing season from November 1 to March 1.
and a longing season from September 1
to May .1 _
The House of delegates and the Senate
adopted a resolution—for a joint committee
to visit {the legislature of Virginia and
confer with that body relative to proper
legislation to govern the oyster fisheries
of the Potomac and Pocomake rivers and
of Pocomoke sound. The committee
expect to go to Richmond Monday.

Board of School Visitors of the town of
Norwalk for the year ending August 81,

tered in any public school of the town,
0,120? average attendance. 1,870; whole
number registered in public schools, 001;
number not attending school at all during
the year, 058.
Forty-two teachers were employed
during the year, whose salaries aggregated
021.1” 00. , The cost of maintaining the
schools during the year was 029,871 :1;
receipts of the various districts, 020.754.—
07. The appropriations by the joint
board of Selectmen and School Visitors
for the necessary expenses of maintaining
the schools for the current year amount
to $24,784.45. '
At that meeting it was also voted that
no school maintained by the town of
Norwelk should make any charge for the
tuition of scholars from other districts In'
the town. . '
Forty-one teachers are employed for
for the current year, the salaries varying
from $270 to $1,480. ‘ ‘
The terms of school and the vacations
for the current year are as follows: The
Fall term of Isa-opened Monday, Sep-
tcmber 8d, and closed Friday, Dgcember
21st. The Winter terns opened Thurs-
day. January Id, 1884', and closes with
Thursday, April 10th. The Spring term
opens Ionday, April 21st, and, closes
with Frlds!.;Juric near. The 11 term
opens, the first Monday of 'Be ember.
There is no school on Thanksgiving day,
and the day following. or on Washingv
ton's birthday, or on Decoration day.
Thcsecre'tsry says that, until the past.
year, there had been much complaint and
much cause for complaint from the
diversity of text-books used in the
schools. With a view to making the past
action of other boards more certain the
whole list was reexamined and adopted.
With very slight exceptions the prescrib-
ed bcoks arc the only ones in use in
any school in town. The principal change
was in the books for teaching the Bug.
lish language, and was made because the
prevailing instruction in this important
branch was two artificial. and ran into
the extreme refinements of definition and
analysis. The books now proscribed are
intended to displace a part of the work
on ,formsl grammar with a large body of
exercises in ‘taiking and writing the
language. ‘
The improvement in the primary
schools, hinted at in last year's report,
still continues. In this department. in
the larger schools especially, most of the
children are pleasantly and usefully em.
ployed during the entire school day.
The old AB C method. so celled, has
gradually passed out of practice. with its
four exercises a day for each child with
long intervals or play, and in its place
has come a new method, which may be
described as one that teaches things
rather than letters and words; that lends
a child to observe closely and quickly,
and to talk about what he sees. and that
keeps his faculties awake and active and
always occupied with a great variety of
exercises. To those who huve'nevor
known anything of the changes going on,
the daily work of some of our primary
rooms would be a revelation.
On the 10th of June lest the Board
passed avole prohibiting ccrporslpurv
isbment. Though it is probable that the
schools were none the worse for the
change, the result of the action was such
as to cause the Board to rescind the vote
alone, and in schools of only one teacher
such teacher is permitted, on investiga-
tion, to inflict corporal punishment by
whipping, and is required to report to the
secretary of the Board on the first day of
each month. all cases of corporal
punishment occurring during the pre-
ceding month with the particulars of the
oflensc for which such punishment was
indicted.
The Broad River school end the pri-
mary departments in the South Norwalk,‘
Down Town and the Center sehoolarc
sometimes considerably overcrowded, and
provisions for the increase in attendance
in these schools have been made.
On the whole, the schools may be said
to be in a promising condition, the
teachers, with hardly an exception, on-
thusiastic in their work, the pupils cm—
bitious and diligent.

Not (lenient With Being The Best.
Whatever may be said in regard to the
propensity of the management of greeg
railway lines to provide for the public
only what is actually demanded in the
way of accommodations‘and comfort, can
in no way apply to the management of
the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Bail:
way, or, as it is more familiary known,
“The Great Rock Island Route." This
line has for years been recognised as the
best and most comfortable route be«
tween Chicago and Kansas City and the
Southwest, and has been abundantly eblc
on this account to successfully cope with
its competitors. But not satisfied with
this success and its already elegant; equip-
ment. its managers have caused to be
turned out of its shops at. Chicago, a
magnificent line of dining-cars which go
into immediate service or. the Kansas
City line. These cars containell the con
venicnees of well furnished dining rooms,
are elegant in design‘ and tln_ish,’and
models of the advanced railway art of the
day. Within them meals are furnished
equal to those of any first class hotel in
the land at the low rate of severityfivc
cents. Travelers on this line now find
on its trains all the comforts and conven-
iences of first-class hotels. Besides the
best of first and second class coaches there
are parlor chair cars, (which no free to
all passengers holding through first-class
tickets), Pullman palace sleeping cars and
dining care. <
This company's lines—all of which are
equally well equipped—also extend to
Council Bluffs and the West, and Minno-
apoiis and St. Paul and the Northwest;
and the deserved praises bestowed upon
it by returned travelers who speak from
experience, make it noted throughout the _.
We bespeak for the owners and mana-
gets of this magnificent railway Jmple
returns for their generous provisions for
tho wants of the public, which is, as has
’ already been proven by the patronage ex-
tended to this line, quick to appreciate
and patronize those who prove by their
deeds and generous treatment that they
are devoted to its comfor‘nd welfare.
Messrs. W. B. Hell «b 00., the leaders
of the dry. flods business in Bridgeport,
have a wide reputation for clocks and
silks, and this season have really outdone
themselves. From all parts of New

black silks, seal clocks and choice dress
goods. They keep constantly on hand
the five loading makes of black silks and
three of the best American silks. In
addition to this they are the agents for
the Bridgeport silks, which they sell with
a written guararitoe.‘ As will be seen by .
their invent-smear they will during the
month 0; February give free return fore .
to all persons who shall purchase not less .
than ten dollars at one time. Close

Kitchen Lottery Swindles.
......—a
(New York independent.)
We are glad to learn that the authori-
ties in this city In“: commenced crimi-
nal proceedings against the moat insidi— 5
one and dangerous form of the lottery '
business yet devised for the purpose of ‘
swindling honest country people. We .
refer to the scheme adopted by several f
manufacturers of cheap and inferior goods !
by which prizes or tickets are given cnti— l
tling purchasers to “a gift” it they chanec i
to get a lucky number with the package I
bought. It is somewhat refreshing, how- .
turer of a laundry soap, and also a spice}
dealer, who in this way offered gifts to
purchasers of their packages, have been ‘
arrested upon indictments of the United
States Grand Jury for lottery swindling,
and are now awaiting trial in this city.
The latest candidate for criminal prosecu-
tion in this direction is the manufacturer
of a baking powder, ‘who is endeavoring,
by a similar lottery trick. to palm off
upon servant girls ‘and unsuspecting
housekeepers an article called baking
powder, but which really is an alum com
pound of a corrosive nature and detrimen-
tal to health. It is, therefore, really a
source of congratulation that the authori-
ties have taken the matter in hand; for
while all forms of lotteries are iniquitous,
they are infinitely more so when made the
aids to swindling, which profits at the ex-
panse of the health of the poor and un-
wary. We are informed that this form
of lottery in being not only peddled from
house to house, but that, under the prom-
ise of larger percentages or’proilts than
the swindlers are entrenching themselves I
behind the counters of many grocers. by
getting them to offer the objectionable
goods with‘ the price tickets inclosed,
thereby shifting the liability to prosecu-
tion. in a large measure, upon other and
perhaps innocent parties. Every grocer
or dealer, for instance, who sells or 01ers
for sale any of this gift baking powder is
a criminal in the eye of the law, and upon
conviction is liable to fine and imprison—
ment. This is a predicament in. which we
do not believe our grocers will care to
place themselves when aware of the fact,
more especially now that the attention of
the criminal authorities has been drawn
to the matter.
Aside, however, from the criminal
liability thus incurred, the immoral ten-
dency of such a business is so great that
it'should be most severely denounced and
discouraged by every one having the best
welfare of the community at heart. The
purchase of an article of food with a gift
ticket inelosed in this way is made to ap-
pear es s trifling stair; but it is no less
immoral and an oflense against law than
are the big lottery swindles which the
Government is trying to suppress. Be-
sides, as evcry teacher of morality~knows,
it is the apparently trifling sins which are
winked at where large ones would daze,
that form the entering wedge to under-
mine the conscience and harden it for
greater ones. We cannot believe that our
- business men will care to aid in any such
swindles.’ nor that the people on their
second thought will expect to benefit by
purchasing baking powders, or what not,
which may be offered under such strept-
ciocs circumstances.
