0173. WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, December 14, 1885.
DEAR GAst'rE:—To-day Senator Hoar’s
Succession bill was reported to the senate,
and the Morrison Rreforrn Rules to the
house. Mr. Boar’s bill is the same as
passed the last senate and will go through
substantially as before, and now the
democratic majority of the house will, in
all probability, permit it to become a law
as they are now in a condition to profit by
its adoption. The new house rules pre-
sented by Mr. Morrison will provoke a
lively debate, but will be carried at the
end, thus leaving that chief demagogue in
that body, Mr. Randall, shorn of his power
to defeat all legislation at his sweet ‘will
as he has arrogantly done. In the com-
mittee of five he stood alone in his ad-
herencc to the old system of sending all
appropriations to the' one committee. As
an anodyne to his mortification it is sug-
gested that he be put at the head of the
Naval Appropriation committee, so that he
may become the putative father of our to
be reconstructed navy. It is freely cir-
culated about the capital that - Speaker
Carlisle intends to honor our Representa-
tive Mitchell by placing him at the head
of the Patent committee of the house. He
was a hard worker on that committee in
the last congress, and it would be but a
graceful acknowledgement of” his deserts.
to make Mr. Mitchell its chairman now,
inasmuch as Mr. Vance, its old chairman,
has been transferred to the deputy com-
missionership of patents.
With the passage of the new house rules
the nightly'subjects purposely defeated by
Mr. Randall in the last congress will be
givena chance to receive consideration,
so that this is likely to prove a memorable
congress. The further adjustment of self
evident errors in the tariff laws; the coin-
age of silver; improvements in the civil
service laws; protection to the actual
settlers on the public domain; better care
of the Indians; foreign immigration; a
national bankruptcy law; the strengthing
of our coasts and navy; postal telegraphy;
the electoral count bill; the presidential
succession and other important measures
will be pressed forward, and no doubt
many of these bills will receive favorable
consideration before the end of the present
congress.
TEE MESSAGE.
It is curious to note how diverse are the
democratic views of the president’s mes-
sage, and yet how universally Mr. Tilden’s
brevet message is approved by leading
men of the party both in and out of con-
grass. The president seems to have for-
gogten that there is still a great national
debt, and to have overlooked the most
important item in the report of his finance
minister, to the effect. that next year’s ex-
penditures of the government seem likely
to exceed its revenues some twenty mil-
lions of dollars. Samuel J. Randall was
not slow. to use this start-ling condition of
our finances audits fatal effects upon his
party in his efforts to defeat Mr. Morrison’s
scheme to deprive the Philadelphia states-
man of his wonted power. . Randall claims
, that unless the democratic house exercises
the most rigid economy in its appropri—
ations the national treasury will be as
empty and bankrupt at the end of Cleve-
land’s term as it was at the end of
Buchanan’s administration. It is a source
of mortificatiou to the administration lead-
ers that the public debt should have in.
creased last month instead of having been
diminished as it had been every month
for years while in republican hands. The
mythical millions so freely prated about
by democratic editors and orators in the
presidential campaign as lying idle in the
treasury 'while in republican hands seems
to have as mysteriously disappeared. But
this is not the first time the democracy
has shown itself incompetent to administer
the finances of the government. It is
expected that Mr. Randall will now sulk
and assault his fellow democrats who have
aided to dcpose him by the trite and cut-
ting thrust of “I told you so."
POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
Senator Edmunds gave notice prior to
adjournment last week that he should
press his Postal Telegraph bill to a vote
after due time had been given for its con-
sideration. This will awaken a severe
antagonism as there is no monopoly on
the globe so enormous and all controlling
as the Western Union Telegraph. The
Edmunds billjmay not be the best that can
be framed, but that the people of the
United States, as well as the people of
England, should be permitted to send
their mail matter by wire as well as by
cars admits of no more intelligent and
honest doubt, than that it should now use
cars and steamers in place of old-time
stages and sailing vessels. As the postal
committee of the senate, during the last
congress, gave an exhaustive consideration
9f this subject, and the friends and one-
mie'sTaf‘the‘scheme were heard at great
length, it lSUlpt probable that the com-
mittee will dcsi?c~,to spend very much
time upon the same\ subject within this
, session. Why should the government cling
to steam when electricity is at hand and
available, or insist on using days for the
transmission of communications between
its citizens, which may be as easily and
almost as cheaply done in seconds?
SANITAnr.
The annual meeting of the American
Public Health association was held here
last week. Before it Dr. (J. A. Lindslcy,
secretary of the state board of health of
Connecticut, read a paper giving an ac-
count of the typhoid fever epidemic at
Madison in our state. Captain Henry
Lamb, of Rochester, N. Y., had ofl’cred
four prizes for essayszon matters of hygiene,
but the first one was not awarded. He
offered four additional ,prizes of $100, $75,
$50 and $25 for the best plans for houses
to cost $600, $1,000 and $1,500.
. LABOR.
The federation of Labor Unions held a
session here all of last week, and the
above bill is one of the outcomes of the
session. Before adjourment they rec-
commended to all Labor Unions through-
out the country to insist on eight hours as
a day’s labor from and after May lst of
next year. Reports were made by the
delegates on the subject of strikes and
arbitration, and all reported that the
bodies which they represented favored
arbitration, and were opposed to begin-
ning a strike unless absolutely compelled
to.
ram OFFICE BROKER.
The infant industry of post office broker.
age, which the New York World laid to
the charge of “an ex-congressman from
Connecticut,” and which was very widely
but unjustly conjectured to refer to ex-
Senator Eaton, proves to be a Mr. Brown,
chairman of the democratic state com-
mittee of Maine. Senator Hale has offered
a resolution to investigate the said Brown,
and see how lucrative his new democratic
enterprise has become. A “reform” post-
master in Pennsylvania was reported to
the post office department last week as
having “abscondcd” with the funds of his . ~
office. This is almost as bad as the case
of one of Brown’s appointees in Maine,
who couldn’t take the place of the “offen-
sive". republican postmaster because he
was in jail. *
COLLEOTor. TBOUP.
The unfounded charges against ex-
Collcctor Selden, put afloat, as is asserted,
by Collector Troup, will not make that
gentleman‘s path to a confirmation any
smoOther. It is reputed to have roused
up Congressman John T. Waite in Mr.
Selden’s defense, and Mr. Troup may
wish the evil one had him before Colonel
Waite gives up the hunt for his scalp.
PERSONALS.
Senator Platt returned to Connecticut
immediately after adjournment OIyThurs-
day, but will be in his seat here again
30—day. His son, James P. Platt, and
bride have spent several days here visiting
various parts of interest in and about
Washington
Since Mr. Blaine left his seat in the
house no man has showed such marked
ability as a party-leader as Mr. Reed, of
Maine. He has an able aid and ally in
Mr. Hlscock, of New York.
Hon. Lynde Harrison was here on legal
business last week.
Mr. Wm. F. Rockwell, of Mcriden, and
John E. Earle, of New Haven, returned
home last week. ,
Vice-PresidentReed, of theConsolidated

L. A. Bradley is here, as is also Miss
Mamie R. Pomcroy, of Academy street,
Norwalk. Miss Pomeroy is visiting a.

More About “Onesimus.”
NEW YORK, December 5, 1885.
EDITOR GAZETTE:-—Enclosed is a letter
from Mr. Peter W. Mead, of Brodklyn, N.
Y., to the Independent, (N. Y.), which the
editor kindly transmitted to me. As it is
of more interest in Norwalk than to the“
Independent, with the'latter’s permission I
send it to the GAZETTE, which copied my
article referred to in Mr. Mead's letter.
I understand that my article, when
copied in the GAZETTE,:callc(l forth sundry
communications respecting things therein
omitted and alleged‘ to be inaccurately
stated. These communicationsll did not
see in print, but only heard the substance
of them orally, or read them in letters. I
' will take this opportunity of saying that I
See no reason for modifying any of my
statements made in my article, having
carefully investigated every point, and
having apretty-full set of documents of
all sorts to draw from. Among the things
omitted, so as not to overload the story,
were the fishing episode, O-ne’s wondering
who would cut his coma in case he should
be emancipated, his having his hat picked
up by Miss Juliette Betts, his taking Miss
thbe down to church on the same horse
with himself, using saddle and pillion, (a
thing he did not do when Miss Phoebe, the
elder, and Miss Sarah both went to church),
with a number of minor matters. Just
here, since I understand that my state-
terpreted as contradicting the saddle and
pillion, instead of being [another thing, I
may say that the fact which I stated rested
upon inquiries and researches ,of the late
U. S. Senator O. S. Ferry. He had been
listening to an account of the saddle and
pillion style of going'to meeting, and won-
dered how O-ne brought the two sisters to
church together; and I believe he asked
Miss thbe, the younger, herself. And the
three-horse manner was long ago published
in the GAZETTE, I think inserted by Mr.
~Ferry himself, though anonymously, some
years after the period of his serial story,
"The Adventures of a Merchant’s Clerk,”
but quite a while before he became sena-
ator. I may also. add that while others,
who had been slavés in Connecticut, died
later than Onesimus, I am not aware that
I shall welcome the correction.
There are two inaccuracies in my article,
but they have generally passed unnoticed ,
and they are due to the printing office.
.The editor of the Independent thought
that my arithmetic was wrong, and so
wrongly altered two of the numbers when
he read the proof. ,
‘ Very respectfully,
ISAAC H. HALL.
NEW YORK, November 22, 1885.
EDITOR Independent—Having had my
attention brouaht to an article in your
pa or by Isaac . Hall, Ph. D.. headed
“ he Last Slave in Connecticut,” I would
state that I am perfectly cognizant of;thc
facts as set forth by Dr. Hall, and also in
regard to old Ony, as we used to call him,
as I' knew him well, and when visiting the
Old Comstock House, used to see Ony sit—
ting in his highback chair at the fire place
corner, he told me that he had sat in that
chair since he had been big enough to sit
in any chair; and I told Miss Phoebe that
when Ony died I wanted that chair. She
said that the chair and one other piece of
furniture she had in the house was the
oldest probably in the country, as the
elder Miss Phoebe had told her that they
came over in the Mayflower with her an—
cestors, and she, the elder Miss Phoebe,
had sat in it for over fifty years.
say that I have that chair in my possession
at.16 Cambridge Place, Brooklyn, where
it can be seen. Respectfully, '

as he was unable to awaken him, and im-

administered remedies which soon had the
sleeper wide awake and wondering what-

is seething with excitement over the trial
of a whole family charged with one of the
most revolting murders in the whole his-
tory of crime. The prisoners are abutch-
er named Tozzi, his wife, son and daugh-
ter. The victim was a 'rival butcher
named Paggi. The motives of the murder
were trade jealousy and family disputes.
Paggi was entrapped into Tozzi’s cellar,
where he yvas first stunned by a blow on
his head. Then his throat was cut, and
while he was dying he was held over a
tub into which his blood flowed. Tozzi
and his son then carved the body into small
pieces, and the fragments were scattered
in a suburban forest; the whole family as-
sistcd in this work. The murdered man’s
blood was afterward boiled into black
puddings, which; 'ere sold in Tozzi’s shop.
Tozzi's son made a full confession to-day,
and narrated the horrible story to the court
with a cold blooded cynicism which pro-
voked the fury of all who heard him. The
audience yelled :
