Tuesday, March 9,1886.
The Committee’s Visit.
A line of six hacks passed solemnly and
slowly through the village Saturday morn-
ing. Some thought it was a funeral, but
it wasn’t. It was the members of the
legislative committee on New Counties
and County Seats who, escorted by sevelal
Norwalk gentlemen, were making a tour
of inspection of Norwalk for the purpose
of deciding as to its claim for the location
of the county seat.
The committee arrived on the train a
little earlier than was expected. They
were met by a committee of Norwalk gen.
tlemen and, after introductions, were es-
corted to the carriages and driven over the
following route: Down Main Street to
E. A. Woodward's mansion; through
the latter‘s grounds and .back to Main
street, to Elizabeth; down Elizabeth
to Water street; Water street
to Washington, thence to alld up Marshall
street to West avenue; up West avenue to
Elm, to Franklin avenue, to Belden ave-
nue; down Beldcn avenue to office of the
Union Mfg. 00. where the committee
alighted and inspected samples of cussi-
meres, 650., made by this concern; thence
they were driven down Belden avenue, to
Wall street; down Wall to Main; Ilp Main
to West Main and Catherine; thence to
“PnddingLane,” to North avenue; down
East avenue to Tryon’s Hill. Here the
committee left the carriages and with much
pulling and labor soon stood on the sum-
mit of the hill whence could be had a
splendid view of the town. A few min-
utes were spent here, and then, descend-
ing, the sight seeing was continued down
East avenue and acrossto the draw bridge,
thence up Washington street to Flax Hill,
to the watering tank; returning they were
driven to the Mahackemo Hotel where a
stop of a few minutes was made.
President Lockwood of the Danbury &
Norwalk road had ordered a special train
to be got in readiness to carry the guests
to Danbury and return, in order that they
might view the countrywhose natural out-
let is Norwalk. Short stops were made
on the way up and at Winnipauk samples
from the mills were taken on board and
inspected by the committee with interest.
At Bethel the train was switched onto the
Shepaug Road, and run part way around
Bethel that the importance of the place
might be seen. Danbury was reached at
12:55, and a short walk on Main street
filled up the wait.
Leaving Danbury at 1:16, the following
time was made: Georgetown, 1:32; Can-
non’s, 1:35; Wilton, 1:36§-; South Wilton,
1:39%; Winnipauk, 1:42; Norwalk, 1:44:17;
Here the speed slackencd and South
Norwalk was reached at 1:476, or, just
31% minutes from time of starting at Dan-
bury, 233‘; miles distant.
Upon the arrival of the train at South
Norwalk, the committee and other guests
were escorted to the Mahackemo, where a
bountiful dinner had been prepared under
the skillful management of Landlord New-
eomb. The hungry folks soon made sad
havoc with the viands and for fully an
hour the clatter of knives and forks was
all that could be heard. Then the ruins
were cleared away, cigars were brought,
and the followingtoastsgivcn: “Connec-
ticut,” responded to by Senator Bradley;
“The Good of the Order,” by Col. Brown;
“The Day we celebrate,” by J. H. Perry;
“Our Friends the Enemy," by Dan Daven-
port; “Ourselves,” by E. J. Hill; “Our
Neighbors,” by Senator Walsh; “Our
Neighbors on the North,” by J. B. Hurl-
butt; “Stamford,” by Nathaniel Halt;
“Danbury,”by Cyrus W. Raymond; “New
Canaan,” by J. H. Light; “The Ladies,”
by Judge Slade; “The Allied Professions,"
by RussellFrost; “Our Federal Relations,”
by Levi Warner; “Hello,” J. K. Butler;
“Judiciary,” Judge Talmadge; “Bridge-
port,” Mr. James Staples. Col. F. St.
John Lockwood then closed the dinner
with a brief but pointed speech in which
the history of the town was given for
some years past. The assemblage then
adjourned to the depot where they took
the trains for their respective homes.
Among those present at the table were
the committee, Senator Walsh, Represen-
tatives Raymond of Danbnry. Hart of
Stamford, Morehouse of Wilton; Butler of
Darien, Messrs. Talmadge, Slade, Staples,
and Davenport of Bridgeport; and Messrs.
J. W. Hyatt, E. A. Woodward, W. T.

The committee will continuethe hearing
in the matter at Hartford to-morrow.

VVoman’s Rights.
To—morrow will be conspicuous in the
annals of woman suffrage agitation in this
state. The woman suffrage committee of
the legislature will give a hearing to we.
man’s lighters from all over the state and
outside of the state. on a proposed bill to
grant to all women 21 years of age and
otherwise qualified, the right to vote ill
presidential, town, city,iborougll or school
district elections. The members of the
committee will flower out in their prettiest
neckties, with bouquets in their button-
holes and cotton in their ears. Senator
Staub of New Milford, chairman of the
committee, whose gallantry, politeness,
accomplishments as‘a billiardist, and pro-
fuse whiskers,eminently qualify him fortlle
post of honor on the committee, is, to an
extent, prepared for the ordeal by reason
of the repeated button-holings and inter-
views by various strong minded females,
td‘which he has recently been subjected
in that capacity.

The Car Drivers’ Strike.
The car drivers of New York City
'struck last week, and for two days horse
car travel was almost wholly'suspended.
In the end the drivers were victorious and
travel was resumed unmolested. While
some of the actions of the strikers may be
criticised, it should be borne in mind'that
they were rendered desperate 'by over-
work and underpay and that their cause
was just, and in their victorious protest
they had the unqualified sympathy of
every lover of justice and equality. The
terms of the compromise give the men an
advantage over the former schedule, both
in hours and wages.

Our New Armory.
The military committee have reported
favorably to the house on the bill grant-
ing Norwalk :1 new armory. The sum up-
propriated is $25,000. This was thought
to be the wisest step by the committee,
for, in event of the appropriation being
larger, it was feared that Hartford might
step in and take it all to use towards the
private armory now rented ill that city.
The committee therefore appropriated on-
ly $25,000 so that Norwalk could have no
opposition.

earth to the realms celestial, after a few
brief days of illness. She has been stronger
in mental resolution and brain force than
in physical strength ever since her acci—
dent in the army, when on one of her
she received the injury which had, ever
since, been a constant source of debility
and suffering. She was taken with a
severe cold about a fortnight since, which
at first caused a severe sore throat, then a
disturbance of her digestion, and finally
developed into pneumonia. Her stricken
husband and friends had seen her so fre-
quently much more seriously ill apparent-
1y, and y , with her immense power and
mental resolution, recovered, that at the
first they did not deem a fatal result as at
all probable. But when pneumonia be-
came fully developed the gravity of her
situation became apparent to. all. Her
death, nevertheless, came as a shock in its
suddenncss. Mrs. Hawley was a great
favorite in official society circles here, as
sllc always was among the stricken “boys,
ill blue” during the war period. She was
born in Gnilford, Conn., her maiden name
being Harriet Footc, and was a sister of
the authoress, Mary I-Ialleck Foote. She
accompanied her husband to the war, and
was one of the Florence Nightingalcs of
our army. She did noble work at the hos-
pitals hereiand also in the field, but per-
‘haps her most llerculean and patriotic dc-
votion to our soldiers was done at Wil-
mington after Terry’s capture of that city,
and the release of our Union captives
from the rebel Salisbury prison. Here we_
saw her day and night succoring the fever
stricken, starved and scurvied wrecks of
humanity that rebel barbarities had not
entirely bereft of life. Mrs. Gen. Barlow,
a. strong and robust lady of English birth,
was Mrs. Hawley’s aid ill this heart-
reading labor of love and devotion, but
Mrs. Barlow, strong as she was.soon con-
contracted 'the hospital fever and died,
while the more delicate and more resolute
Mrs. Hawley survived the trying ordeal.
In Moore’s “Women of the War” is given
a fitting tribute to her self-sacrificing
labors. She was a lady of fine literary
taste and culture. Here she was a mem—
ber of the Women’s AnthrOpological and
Literary societies, and was beloved and
esteemed by a large circle of its members.
She was deeply interested in the amelior—
ation of the conditions of the American
Indians, and her rooms were decorated
with many specimens of the Indian’s rude
art. She was especially devoted to chari-
table objects and was actively interested
in the Garfield hospital. She0 has always
been her husband’s private secretary, at-
tending to his correspondence, and aiding
and advising and supporting him in all
his public career as few wives are ever
able to do. On Thursday’s session of the
senate, Senator Platt arose and said :—
“Mr. President, Senators are no doubt
advised of the great affliction that has be—
fallen my colleague. Mrs. Hawley died
last evening at 6:30 o’clock. There are to be
simple funeral services at the residence of
my colleague, at No. 312 C street, at 3
o’clock this afternoon. Many senators
have already left for the purpose of attend—
ing, and others desire by their presence to
testify their sympathy for my colleague ill
his great bereavement. I therefore move
that the senate do now adjourn.”
The motion was agreed to and most of
the senators formed in line and marched
to Mrs. Hawley’s late residence, where
the Episcopal burial service was very
effectively read by Rev. Dr. Addison, of
Trinity church. Her remains were cm-
bowered in masses of floral ofl'crings from
her many friends and admirers. The
president sent from the executive con-
servatory a beautiful pillow of the rarest
flowers. On one side, at the head, stood
a leaning cross of canlelias. white roses
and white carnations, set on a base of
white azaleas. 0n the other side stood a
floral harp unstrung, of lilies of the valley
and camclias, with the letter “H” wrought
in purple. On a table at the head of the
casket was a stand covered with wreaths
of roses and camelias, and a jar in which
was placed a handful ofloose marguerites.
The head of the coffin was draped with
fringed white China crepe. Across the
foot was festooncd the American colors,
in honor of Mrs. Hawley‘s noble war
record in hospitals and elsewhere. The
top of the coffin was covered with
crosses and crowns of white flowers. The
head was resting on a bank of white
violets, and the breast was covered with
Parma violets and white calnations; only
the hands appearing from under the blos-
soms. In the space between the coffin—lid
and her breast were two very large calla
lilies. Tllc face appeared peaceful and
sweet, butibore marks Of recent severe
suffering. Mrs. John Sherman’s contri-
bution was a cross composed of camelias,
white carnations, Cornella Cook roses and
lilies of the valley, and a trinity of calla
lilies tied with white Ottoman ribbon.
Mrs. John Logan received the arrivals.
Chief Justice and Mrs. Waite, Senator and
Mrs. Dawes, Senator and Mrs. Mahone,
Mrs. Sherman, Mrs. Ingalls, Senator and
Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Frye, Mrs. Sabin,
Mrs. Palmer, ex-Secretary and Mrs.
Chandler, Mrs. Senator Eval'ts, and Sella-
tor Logan were among tllose ill attend—
ance. Her remains left for Hartford in a
Pullman train Friday morning for inter-
ment, accompanied by Senator Hawlcy,
Senator Platt, Representative Buck, Miss
Foote, sister of the deceased, and Major
Winship. The pail-bearers were Senators
Platt, Palmer, Manderson, Sabin,CockrcIl
and Ransom. Mrs. Hawley leaves an
only child, an adopted daughter about
five years old, the child of a deceased
sister, to whom ,she and the general had
become devotedly attached. The major—
ity of senatorial houses were closed to
callers on Thursday, Friday and Saturday
out of respect to her memory. The
Washington papers were all elaborate in
praises ofher excellencies. The Capitol
thus epitomizes these unstinted culogies:
“Her death was very unexpected, and
takes out of society in Washington a we.
man who rendered noble service to the
soldiers during the war, and was one of
the most intelligent and refined ladies that
has ever graced a senator’s household.”
Senator Platt is expected to return here
this evening.
THE BLAIR BILL.
. The Blair educational bill, as amended,
to more directly aid the rising colored
population of the south, went through the
senate with flying colors. The bill now
goes to the house, where its reception' is
doubtful. Probably a majority of the
representatives would favor the measure
if a vote could be reached, but it is In
the power of an obstinate minority to 011-.
struct a bill of this character indefinitely.

bly so to the president. In private talk
he intended to send to the seri—
One senator remaked, with asperity,
that “this (message) is but a continuation
of the blunder with which the administra-
tion started out; in the matter of official re-
movals. There was that “offensive parti-
san” business, accompanied by the adver-
tisements sent out by the postmaster—gen-
all or any kind of proof against republican
incumbents. Well, the responses to those
advertisements came from Tom, Dick and
Harry, and irresponsible ofllce seekers or
their friends, alleging all kinds of charges
against republican officials whose removals
were desired. This was a base partisan
conspiracy, worthy only a gang of ward
politicians. And it is these responses to
the offensive partisan advertisement that
the president now refuses to send to the
senate. He calls them unofficial or confi-
dential documents.” This message is a.
piece of. literary “crazy quilt patch work.”
The pettifogging sophistrics, ignorance of
precedents and facts, etc., are variously
assigned to himself and his difl’erent
cabinet ministers, but the unique
phrase, “innocuous desuetude,” is one of
Secretary Bayard's well remembered lega-
cies to the senate. It was one of his pet
phrases when senator.
DEMOCRATIC nonsn cnuous.
About forty democratic mombers of the
house Inet in caucus, as noted in our last,
to arrange for the selection of a democratic
congressional campaign committee. A
resolution was adopted instructing the
state delegations to select one of their
number from each state to constitute the
campaign committee. The committee so
selected is charged to meet within a week
and choose five of their number to act
with a similar number chosen by the
democratic senators, to act as a joint ex-
ecutive committee for the congressional
campaign this fall. The “mossbackers”
of that party are already expressing their
fears that they are going to lose their
present democratic majority in the house
at the next election, and there are sub-
stantial reasons for their fears.
The Republican says that Representa-
tives Blwk, Harmer, Thomas, Golf and
Boutelle. republican members of the house
naval committee, have added to their po-
litical longevity by their patriotic opposi-
tion to the shameful scheme of buying
English engines for our naval vessels.
The democrats in congress and the dis-
trict democracy especially are fearfully
wrenchcd because the presuient has im-
ported a negro fronl Albany to fill the
office of recorder of deeds here. The
negro professes to be a democrat, but the
rantankcrous and unterrified don’t believe
a. colored man can be a democrat. and
continue to say “d——n a nigger anyway,”
with just as much fervor as when that
party was turning heaven and earth to
promote slavery, and even resorted to war
for its perpetuation. The local democrats
feel about as Norwalkcrs would if a colored
man was imported from Rhode Island to
take the place of Mr. Henry K. Sellcck,
our excellent town clerk.

The Corcoran Gallery does not buy a great

PERSONALS.
The President has veryjustly nominated
brave and noble “Alf” Terry to succeed
Gen. Hancock. A tremendous pressure
was brought to bear on the President to
give the promotion to Gen. Howard, but it_
is believed that Senator Platt convinced
him that justice and light and the best
interest of the military service would be
promoted by this recognition of the “hero
of Fort Fisher.”
Frederick Douglass is to be orator on
Emancipation Day at Arlington.
The Hon. James Gallagher, of New Ha-
ven, accompanied a delegation of free
tladers was here lastweek. "Jeems" is in-
clined to believe that the reason that Bar-
num and Mitchell fought him out of the
New Haven custom house was because he
was “an offensive partisan.”
Dr. E. C. Lewis of Waterbury was here
last week.
James Holtou stole a horse here last
week and at the police court confessed
that he was from Milwaukee, and was a
disappointed office seeker; that he was
broke, and stole the team to raise money
to get home with.
