Wanneroa, Feb. 18th, 1884. Dan Quinn—That portion iof the Senatorial committee to investigate the Copiah county, Miss., political murders of colored men has reached its destination and is already at work taking testimony. . That portion of the same committee, which remained in .Washington to. investi- gate the Danville, ~Va., murders of colored men on last electiou day, lain session here and examining witnesses who have been summoned before it. 'It is all (and at both ends of the examin- ation) the same old, old story of the infuriated lamb attacking the peaceful and peace loving wolf. One poor, scared colored man, called to stand up and testify in the committee room, was noticed to ' hesitate, and quail. and actually “turn pale." .He was questioned by Senator Lapham as to the cause of his timidity, when, with eyes directgd towards the few white brutea sitting around the room, he replied e “Well. I’ve got to go back and live- down there,_and that's the memo I am afraid to testify." Senator Vance did all in his power to take the edge off ‘of this frank and honest confession, but its evident sincerity, and the full significance of those few words, were more eloquent and effective than all the other testimony yet recorded. _ It is evident that the color- ed man must make up his mind, if he would live in safety in the south, to walk up andvote the Democratic ticket with punctuality at every election, and then he will be permitted to exercise his elective franchise and live. , . run spoons. That was noble and humane act of the American Congress in placing into the hands of Secretary Lincoln so promptly a half million of dollars for the deluged sufferers along the banks of the overflowed Ohio. and property are harrowing in the ex- treme, and there is but one single encour- aging incident of the terrible devastation caused by the swollen floods. It is 'con- tained in a telegram received Thursday ‘ by the Commissioner-of Internal Revenue at Cincinnati saying that the river was seventy feet high at that place, and. that every distillery in that district had been drowned out and compelled to close. IATIONAL BANKS. The Senate is considering one of the most important matters of the time, the relation of the funded debt to the National Bank system, in a spirit of serious and disparaionate inquiry, and a bill .will no doubt pass that body, that will reflect its matured judgment. Itis given out that the House will probably wait on the Senate in this matter, though anumber of bills are before its Banking committee designed to deal with the same question. Some judicious and friendly legislation is expected from Congress on the matter, and afailuro by the House to act with wisdom in the premises will hurt the re- sponsible majority with the people. The time has gone by when any political advantage can be gained by attacking the National Bank system. Its liberality, convenience and safety have made it popular in all business communities. There is no lack of bills to deal with the financial problems before Congress, but from this very fact springs a danger that no action will be taken on any of them. The perplexities of the snbjeat are great, and the placating of all the interests conterned is a difficult task. _ Tuesday, Mr. Potter notified the commit~ tee which has his two per cent bill in hand that he has decided to'modify it so as to make the interest rate two and a half per cent with a reduction of the tax‘ on bank circulation to one-half of one per cent. This is in substantial accord with the views of Comptroller Knox, who thinks, if adopted, that it would enable the National Banks to continue business on their present basis for some years. A number 'of i other propositions - have been made by the friends of the National Banks, each one differing from the others in detail, but all treating the subject from a common standpoint. ‘If these various propositions can be welded into one prac- tical measure there is a chance that it will run the gauntlet of the two houses. "The banks,” said Mr. Beck yesterday, "are out of politics; nobody opposes , them." This statement from a Demo- cratic and western senator is significant. It shows how completely the opposition to the system has vanished, and indicates how unpopular would he an attempt on the part of i few -“Bourbons” in the House to hamper-the banks in securing the legislation necessary fur their continu- ance. In the ,‘opiniOn of the-Senate the Question is only one Of detail, 11111 as all the projects under discussion are such as will enable the banks to continue business, the material iseues at stake may be said to have already been decided. The pecu- liar ruies of the House render it less easy for that body to reach and pass on the merits of any proposition; but the pres- sure on behalf of a friendly and sensible bon'd bill is so great thatthe House cannot ignore it. Passion mus. ‘A bill was introduced in the Senate I Friday by Mr. Voorhees to regulate proof in pension cases, which is identical in its provisions with one introduced some weeks ago in the House by Mr. Eldredge, and which provides that no proof shall be necessary to establish the fact of sound physical cdndition at the time of his mus- terinto the service in the army or navy, of any applicant for an invalid pension, for any wound or disability contracted in ‘ the army or navy in the late war. This woonv onewans 112005111). The chairman of the Colorado Wool Growers’ association has determined to issue a call for a convention of wool . growers of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, New Mexico and Texas, to be held at Denver, beginning March 12th. The object is to form state organizations with the view of bringing all the pressure possible upon Congress to prevent any further reduction in the wool tarifl‘. The wool groWers maintain that any further reduction will absoluwly destroy that industry. The hope of getting the former duly restored seems to have been aban- rioned, except by-a feW. and the wool producers are now directing their eforts towards preventing a further reduction. Representative Converse still talks as if hopeful of restoring the old duty, but the general opinion of congressmen is that no such measure can be passed.

Loursrana nnatoona'rs Alto THE TARIFF ‘ on snoaa. ‘ Adelegation of prominent and influ- ential men of Louisiana is now here in the interest of sugar protection. They insist that the tariff upon sugar must be let alone absolutely. They declare that any reduction will cause widg-spread disaster among the sugar planters and will, in fact. result in bankrupting all connected with that interest. Aside from the flash. cial feature of the question, there is a political phase of no little importance, according to the men of this delegation. They say that if the Democratic majority of the House pass, or even permit the , passage iii a bill reducing the sugar tariff, it will cost that party ,the vote of Louisiana. The people of that state, say these gentlemen, are not going to follow any party to their own financial ruin, 'and if the Democrats touch sugar in tariff legis- lation the Leuisianians’ will endeavor to save their interests by acting with the Republicans. Representative Blanchard, of Louisiana, however, says the idea that that state will desert the Democratic party because of any change in the sugar tariff is absurd. ‘He says Louisiana will stick to Democracy. . rosr nouns. '. The adoption by the Senate, Thursday, of the House bill making all public highways post routes is a step in the direction of relieving Congress from the burdens of special legislation. If, now, the mass of claims could be referred to i the various departments having natural jurisdiction or to special courts, Congress would have some elbow-room and could attend to, at least, a fairmfraction of its ,legitimate business. nonoas To a Jasxsarra nano. .The Secretary of the Navy has given instructions to ,Rear Admiral Simpson, commanding the League Island navy yard, to arrange for the participation of the naval forces at that place in,the re- ception to be given by George G.

Provision is also made wherby the imprisoned person can breathe and sustain life for twenty- four hours at least. Such precautions do not seem wholly absurd in-the light of the the newspapers contain. ’ ' PRESIDENTIAL. - The following clear and probably as nearly corrects diagnosis of the presi- dential situation as it is possible to give at this time, is clipped from the Star of Friday evening: - Representative Forney, who was one of Mr. Randall’s supporters in the speak- ership contest, said to a Star reporter to- 'day, that it looked as if the favorites were going to be left out of the presiden- tial race. “McDonald," he said, “is at present'ahead of any oncclse on the Democratic side, but he won’t get the nomination. He has now more votes than any other one ,man, but he has not half the whole number, and the opposi- tion of Hendricks and his wife would beat his nomination. We’csu’t afiord to carry any dead‘weight in the way of de “ cided opposition, and this puts Mr. Mc- Donald out of the race." asked the Star. “Mr. Randall is strong," he replied. "He could hold Penusylvanid and would carry all the doubtful states, but is una- vailable on account of the opposition in the south. Morrison and Carlisle will both be left out also on account of strong opposition. The party could unite on no one of them in convention. Each is just strong enough to kill;the others. Here is where the dark horse will come in. Some one not much spoken of, and to whom, consequently, there is no well- defincri opposition, will come in and carry the convention. It is uncertain who that will he ;‘probabiy Flower, of New York, or some one else occupying about his posi- tion. Flower will make a first-rate dark horse ;'he would be certain to carry‘New York.” “Who is going to be the Republican candidate 7" asked the Star. "They are in about the same uncertain position we are. If the Democrats go on as they are ‘now going, and make no serious mistakes, the Republicans will probably nominate Geo. W. T. Sherman as a safe man. If the Democrats, on the 'other hand, make a few blunders and put up one of their favorites and make a fight of it; Arthur, Logan, Edmunds and Blaine will in that event have to fight, it out between themselves. and it is a question which would come out of the sconvention alive.” PIRIONALS .

Death of Capt. Joseph W. Habbell. Capt. Joseph W. Hubbell died suddenly on Wednesday evening at the family resi- dence on East avenue, aged eighty-three years. Mr. Hubbeil had been in feeble health for some time, but his symptoms did not became alarming until Wednesday morning, when he'was taken with a cor.- gestive chilland lingered until half-past seven in the evening. Capt. Hubbell was a native of Bridgeport, and in the earlier years of the present century, .he sailed and commanded a market sloOp between that primitive village, as it was then, and New York. He is the last of a once prominent and influential family of aged citizens of Bridgeport. Something more than a half century ago he removed to Norwalk, and with a Mr. Edwin .Porter, also from Bridgeport, purchased and conducted the old bridge Mill, known to all older residents as “Can- non’s Mill." Hc subsequently purchased Mr. Porter‘s interest in the mill and continued its proprietor until its partial demolishinent by the great freshct of 1853, that also destroyed the old wooden bridge, ‘and the purchase of the mill privilege and removal of hismill-dam by the Norwalk River Protection company. He then erected the brick stores oh its site,-now on the northwest corner of Welland Main streets and which property still belongs to his estate. Almost immediately upon his coming to Norwalk he became the friend and associate of that grand galaxy of our then ,leading business men, new alas, nearly all dead, such as Eli B. " Bennett, Ara E and Judge Stephen Smith, Thomas B. Butler” Charles Isaacs, Charles Thomas, Deacon George St. John, James and Alfred Mallory, Clark and Dr. Emory Bissell, Wm. K. James, and Col. and Wm. S. Lockwood—the latter. thesole survivor, that we are now able to recall, 'of these high minded and remarkable business men who were so prominent ill Norwalk affairs in the earlier years of this century. For some two score or more years, Capt. Hubbell had been a director in the venerable and solid Fairfield County bank, and for about the same period a warden of St Paul’s church. He was the first treasurer and so continued for many years, of the Norwalk Savings society; was treasurer for several years of the Fairfield County Agricultural society; has repeatedly been a selectman‘. assessor, justice of the peace, etc., in local aflairs of our town, and always the same, faithful. conscientious, and upright man. He represented Norwslk in the State Legislature .in the years 1839 and 140. He was then a Whig and has ever since the party organization. been an earnest Republican in his politics. As we have said, nearly all of those prominent men who 1were the intimate friends 'of his youth,have preceded him to the "shadowy land.” Yet all those of the present genei'atiou who have—known him; can but revere his noble, upright manhood, and his quiet, honorable old age. At the close of a life so ripe in years and honest living, we cannot but feel that our friend has “risen” to a higher life,rather than “fallen” by the way side, with his life work left incomplete. The Christianity that he lived, as-well~as believed, teaches that to strive to make on! human lives upright, noble and divine," is the true preparation for the life of higher service and realization in the life celestial in the world to come. The life that is conse- crated to good deeds here, is the sure procurer of that eternal life where God’s children are to glorify Him and enjoy Him forever. To such a one as our de- parted friend, full of honors and of years, death is not the end of all. Rather mortality. , , The funeral was largely attended on Saturday afternoon ,from St. Paul's church, Rev. B. S. Clapp, assisted by Rev.C. ‘M. Belleck and Dr. Weston of New York conducting the services. The wardens and vestrymen of the church acted as pail-bearers. The remains were interred' in Union cemetery. In Memoriam.

To t/zevEditorof the Gamma: . ' Readers of the Gamma, lllAillCl all, newspaper readers, feel a lively interest in any items of news relative to the rail- waylines over which they daily travel; hence, I note for their benefit the fact that rumor was rife schral weeks ago in reference to the proposed changes in this New York, 'New Haven. and Hartford railroad, and it was stated, that Superin- tendent ~tevenson, of the New York division, was to become general manager of the entire line. which terminates at Springfield, Mass , on the north, ”and New London, Conn., on the east. The far: that both, since and . previous to his becoming superintendent of our division he has developed extraordinary ability as a vigorous and clear headed ofliciai, gave color to the report, and in many quarters it was credited and generally believed. Such a change, however, would by no rflns be'a surprise at any time, Set the report is premature, for, as a rule, mile road gossip is unreliable and should be taken ' with many allowances. - Before Mr. Stevenson’s accession to the superin- tendency, the New York and of the road was badly managed, not from lack of ability on the part of Mr.-.Moody, the former sup ntendent, but because the volume of (these had increased in a greater ratio than a man of his yearscould grapple with, with the facilities such as he had at command. .Mr. Stevenson at once changed over the old order of things by introducing the newest appliances and systems, by placing block or electric signals on all the dangerous curves, and running the trains entirely by telegraph, I thus effectually preventing rear collisions. , , and giving afeeling of safety and security to trainimen which they never before enjoyed. The employees have just be- come acquainted with his methods, and not one of them would care to loose him, which would necessitate the acquaintance of someone they knew acthisg of, and whom, perhaps, they would not like as well.

I seldom buy without a personal examination of the mills ti; mode of manufacture, the standard of inspection and sorting, and,the stock, from which they are made. Then the uniformity of the grade is secured and can bese‘crtred only by the brand of a reliable maker, as very many are takenln from country mills and sold under a single brand by a grocer or furnisher of mill supplies, who never owned a mill or made a shingle.
