OUR WASHINGTON LETTER-
WASHINGTON, December 7, 1885.
DEAR GAZETTE 2—Congrcss meets to-day
under circumstances of unusual interest.
The death of the vice-president made the
selection of a pro tempore president of the
senate a duty taking precedence of all
other matters of organization details. At
the first canons of republican Senators Mr. '
Edmunds, in a most- complimentary speech, .
urged the nomination of General Logan
by acclainmation. This was carried with
enthusiasm, when to the surprise of every
one General Logan very gracefully, but
resolutely, declined the honor. An ad-
journment was had to Saturday, when the
caucus with the same unanimity placed
John Sherman in nomination, and lie, in
an appropriate acknowledgment of his
appreciation Of the honor conferred, ac-
cepted the nomination.
In the house republican caucus Mr.‘
Reid, of Maine, was placed in nomination,
for speaker. There was a friendly con—v
test between the friends of Mr. Reid and
Mr. Hiseock, of New York. There is
little in the selection other than the rule,
which is supposed to govern in such cases,
that the person" upon whom the honor is
conferred is to be the leader Of his party’s
forces on the floor of the house. Colonel
Waite succeeded in securing for Connecti—
cut’s deposed internal revenue collector,
Colonel J. H. Selden, of Norwich, the
nomination for doorkeeper. The demo-
crats nominated ex-Speaker Carlisle for
his old place, and made a new departure
in dropping their last year’s chaplain and
selecting Mr. Milburn, the blind preacher,
who was once a chaplain of the house be-
fore the war. . '
Both houses are to adjourn to-day on
completing their organization out of re-
spect for the late vice-president. The
president’s message will not be sent in
therefore till to-morrow.
The first act of the senate to-morrow
will be the passage of the Edniuuds Elec-
toral Count bill, and Senator Hoar’s Presi-
dential Succession bill. Both these meas-
ures passed the republican senate last ses-
sion, but the democratic house refused to
act on them. Now as that party is to
profit by these enactments there is little
doubt that both bills ivill speedily become
laws. There will be a lively discussion in
the house over an effort to change the
rules so as to clip the obstruction wings of
Samuel J. Randall. To defeat this effort
to curtail his power and influence over
legislation Mr. Randall is accused of put-
ting forth the startling announcement that
not only has the national debt just in-
creased for the first time since the war, but
r
that the estimated expenses of the govern- .
ment for the next fiscal year exceed the
estimated receipts by more than fifteen.
millions of dollars. Other democrats accuse
him of instigating the Tilden letter urging
an immediate reconstruction of our navy
and coast defences. There is neither
logical connection or consistency in these
charges, but it all goes to show that the
inharmonious democracy are preparing
for themselves a very exhilarating and
hard winter in congress. The country
has had its last day of vacation, and there
will be no peace for the party in power or
the nation till after the ides of July. The
Sunday Capital, which essays to be the.
leading democratic paper here, in an ar-
ticle from the pen of its chief contributor
yesterday, makes the following bold if not
plausibleZaSSertions about the Tilden letter.
He says :-- ,
“I am .told that there is considerable
milk in the Tilden coast defense cocoanut.
There is something very comical about
this Old gentleman at Greystoue working
himself into a state of high public spirit
on the subject of our defenseless sea coast.
The true inwardness is something of this
sort, according to the stories that are go-
ing about: ~Thc eminent Mr. Barnum, of
Connecticut, and some of the democratic
statesmen of the thrifty sort who have Mr
' Tilden’s car have got an idea that lots of
money is to be made out of the construc-
tion of heavy guns and the steel for forti-
fications. They are said to have carefully
laid their plans to rake in the millions that
are to be got out of this business. Mr.
Randall finding out what was going on,
has be on to bestir himself 'to see that
Pennsy vania does not getleftin the grand
distribution of contracts. Mr. Barnum
and the others who are with him have
stirred up Mr. Tilden to write a .lettcr
which is thought will have great influence
with democratic members of Congress
and grease the way in both houses for the
passage of heavy appropriations. It is
barely possible that our great coast do-
fenders have ascertained that Mr. Cleve-
land doesnot take quite so much interest
in their schemes as they would like to
have him, and that for this reason they
have invoked the voice of Mr. Tilden two
days before the meeting of congress and
the publication of the president's message.”
The abovcgextract is but another evi-
dence of the Kilkenny cat love feast in
store for the democratic brethren this
winter.
NOT A ooxcizrzssuax.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Stevenson is now investigating charges

ing on a kinder}? brokerage business by
securing the. appointments of fourth-class
postmastcrs. The published statement
that the accused is a member of congress
from our state is denied by Colonel Stev-
enson. The accused is not a member of
Congress and never was, and he is not a
man of any prominence. It is charged
that the false allegation against Connecti—
cut’s fair fame originated in the New
York lllorld.

_ NOT THE SLUGGER.
The Mr. Sullivan appointed by President
Cleveland as collector of internal revenue

backed by our friend William H. Barnum,
chairman of the democratic national com.
mittee.
now rr Is VIEWED IIERE.
General Logan’s declination of the unani-
rmms nomination for the presidency of the
senate seems to have elevated him in the
esteem of his fellow senators and all earn-
est republicans in and about the capital,
however numb regret may be felt that he
could not see his way clear to accept the
profi‘ercd honor. '
' FRENCH SPOLIA'I‘ION.
The court of claims met to-day and
cilied thiozigh the docket for the Decem-
be! term. A motion was made for an
early hearing of the French spoliation
claims, but the court refused to make an
order to that effect, as it was announced
that the government counsel was not ready
to proceed in any of those cases at present.

Why will the governors of the city of

extravagant mode of repair, to say nothing
of thenuisance and danger of the cobbles.

I see you are agitating an enlargement
'of the cemetery by extending the grounds
up to Harriet street, on the west. This
would force from their homes several
poor families, who have struggled to get
their places, and though it might be done
by invoking the rigorous power of the law
would it be either wise or economical?
It could only postpone the selection of a
new cemetery plot for a very few years.
Another and better site should be looked
up rather than disturb these humble citi-
zens. Norwalk greatly needs a new park
for the living and a new cemetery for the
dead.

NORW'ALK, GAZETTE, TUESDAY DECEMBER 8 1885'
Old-Time Boycottlng. "
Enrron GAZETTE :-Boycotting .seems at
the present time to be very common. I do
not write to commend or condemn the
present mode, nor- enter into a discussion
of the merits of the case. It may be of
interest to. some of your readers, to be re-
minded of some early movements in this
line. When Wilberforce and liisassociates
were fighting the slave trade in England
the friends of the cause pledged them-
selves uot to purchase any goods that were
produced in whole or part by slave labor.
I think Mr. Wilberforce stated that 600,-
000 signed that pledge.
As early as 1836 tonuakeress ladies in
Darien, Conn., urged all abolitionists to
take the same pledge and many of us ab-
stained from buying articles produced by
slaves so far as it was possible. How far
it helped the cause along it is impossible
to know. About the year 1841 or 1842, a
man in Georgetown, Conn., built a large
house and store, and filled it with the usual
variety of goods usual in a country Store
at that time, and of course, a good Supply
of intoxicating liquors. One of his custo-
mers was a kind—hearted fellow, a goop
citizen, a kind husband and but for strong
drink a good churchman. His wife plead-
ed with the merchant to desist from selling
her husband liquor, but his reply to her
tearful pleading was, “I shall sell him his
liquor as long as he has. money to pay to
for it.” She reported her trouble to some
ladies of the church, and they visited the
dealer andentercd their plea and protest,
and got the same reply. This was report-
ed back to the temperance society, and a
committee was appointed to w .it on him,
and got the same answer. This led to
boycotting his store, which 'acted like a
charm. He laughed at the “tufts of grass,"
but boycotting were stones which brought
him down. He was obliged to sell out and
did leave the place. About the same time
a temperance movement was started in
“the Devil’s Den,” now Godfrey street.
Eli Godfrey’s storewas boycotted because
he said he would sell rum in spite of the
devil. In about six months he went up.
We next tried the Forge (Eygpt). 0. C.
Sanford’s store was in full blast and a real
“rum hole.” We tried boycotting, and in
less than a year Mr. Andrew Winton was
installed as the store keeper, and no liquor
sold. So boycotting against a public
curse was and may still be a public good.
Try it, you who weep over the dcsolating
power of the liquor traffic and believe on-
ly in moral and religious influences to put-
it down. S. M. MAIN.
