OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wasnmorou, May 31, 1886.
Dean Gazsm:——The senate adjourned
. to Tuesday because of the memorial cere-
monies of to-day. As, there are greater
numbers of Union soldiers’ graves in and
about Washington than at any other place,
it ‘ is ' meet and proper that the observance
of strewing floral tributes upon them and
of making much more . of the occasion
than in other places, should be here 011-
: served. ’A singular incident and discov-
ery has occurred in this connection in the
discovery that there are some 3,000 Union
soldiers sepulchred in the old grave yard
at Alexandria that hitherto seem not to
have been known to the Grand Army
Posts and consequently never visited on
Decoration day. Today these neglected
graves 'have been visited by comrades
wearing the blue and have been profusely
strewn with the choicest blooms. It is
likely that this discovery will lead to their
exhumation and reinterment at Arlington.
san sun PITIFUL.
It would be difiiclilt to overstate the in.
dignation and contempt felt for President
Cleveland and his Commissioner of Pen-
sionsin {consequence of his vetos of the
bills granting $8 a month to several
scarred and decrepit veterans, who have
failed to so clearly connect their disabili-
ties with their army service as to come
within the straight and unyielding inter.
pretation of the general pension law, and
who yet were able to prove to the satisfac-
tion of both‘ the committees of house and
senate, and then to these two bodies, that
under the spirit and intent of the law they
were entitled to be enrolled as pensioners.
It is stated in exculpation of the President
that “Mental and Physical Wreck” J. C.
Black, the pension commissioner, who is
in receipt of $100 per month pension him-
self, and who has his old mother-imlaw
and his intemperate brother-in-law snugly
fixed in office, is at the bottom of this
pitiful infamy. That the President know-
ing little about pension matters in general,
and about these special cases in particu-
lar, has been coaxed and cajoled into
vetoing them. Thus the contemptible
spectacle is presented of a great, rich and
powerful nation denying to its battle torn
and war disabled veterans the pitiful sum
of $8 a month pension. In a noble out-
burst of indignation over' Black’s repre-
hensible interference and agency in caus-
ing these vetos, Senator Ingalls thus
vigorously arraigned and held the Pension
Commissioner to the deserved contempt
of the senate and country :
- Mn. Dreams. Mr. President, the res-
ent Commissioner of Pensions, Mr. ohn
Charles Black, was placed upon the pen-
sion-roll by special act that was reported
during my chairmanship of the Committee
on Pensions upon the direct and positive
allegation on his part and in his behalf by
th0se who supported and promoted the
bill that he was totally disabled, and that
he was an absolute physical wreck.
The highest rate of pension paid to any
soldier at that time, I think in 1876, for
total disability was $50 a month, and Mr.
Black was placed upon the roll at $100 a
month because it was affirmed that he was
so totally disabled by disease, and by gun-
shot wounds, and by other disabilities re-
ceived in the service, that his capacit , in-
tellectually and physically, was abso utely
annihilated. .
Long before Mr. John Charles Black
was pensioned—I did not know it at the
time—shortly after he came out of the war
after there had been resection and this
surgical treatment had been gone through
with, he was active in political and pro-
fessional life. I am told that he was a can-
didate for Congress in 1866 or 1868, some
time after the war closed. I am told that
since that pension was allowed in 1876 he
has been thrice a candidate for Congress
in the district where he resides, that he
has made the canvass in opposition to his
antagonist, and he has been a candidate
for governor active upon the stump, that
he has conducted his professional avocation
that he has contended for the Senate of
the United States against the Senator from
Illinois who now sits before me [Mr. Lo.
gen], and I know of my own personal
knowledge that during a considerable por-
tion of that time he has been a manager
upon the Board of Soldiers’ Homes; and I
am told from many quarters, from testi-
mony which can not be questioned, that
he is not and that he never has been total-
ly disabled intellectually and physically.
But what I protest against is that he, en-
joying this pension obtained upon those
pretexts, signalizes his advent into the
place he now holds b protesting against
the payment of smal er pensions to men
who were as greatly disabled as he was,
and that he to-day stands advising and co-
operating with the President of the United
States in vetoing little measures of relief
at $8 a month to private pensioners who
could not secure sufficient evidence to
establish their claim before the Pension
Office. I protest against his enjoying that
pension of $100 a month when he has been
lawyer, politician, Commissioner of Pen-
sions, for years and years since it was
granted to him, no more physically disa-
bled, no more .intellectually disabled than
the Senator from Indiana is, enjoying that
pension upon pretensions that do not exist
and at the same time using the powers of,
his great office to prevent the payment of
pensions which had been lawfully and
properly granted. ,.
Here was a citizen of my own state,
Robinson, a man who for nineteen years
never had seen the light of the sun nor
the face of wife or child, whose claim
had been examined and re-examined and
fought and contested for years, and was
finally allowed by the predecessor of Gen.;
John Charles Black, a thousand times
worse disabled than he is because he was
doomed to perpetual blindness and isola-
tion, and one of the first acts that Mr.
John Charles Black did after he came into
that office was to direct the ayment of
that pension to be suspende . All that
this poor wreck, incarcera‘ed in perpetual
darkness, could receive was $72 a month,
$28 less than Mr. Black receives; and he
can write his name with that disabled
hand. And yet although it had been al-
lowed after protracted adjudication he or.
dered it to be suspended by telegraph;
and] since March, 1885, that poor disabled
wreck has been endeavorin to secure
justice before the pension 0 cc, and so
firmly established was his claim upon
right and justice that, although he has in-
terposed his objections at every stage, be-
fore the Assistant Secretaliy of the Interior
and the Secretary of the nterior, at last
Secretary Lamar directed it to be aid in
spite of the protest of Mr. John ‘harles
Black. ‘
I protest, sir, in the name of all the dis-
abled soldiers of this republic against that
imposter—that imposter; I repeat it with
full knowledge of what the phrase means
——tliat imposter who is receiving a pension
to which he is not entitled by Virtue of law
or by virtue of any disabilities that he is
subjected to, and who has used his ofiicial
position ever since he has been in it to
slander and revile his predecessor, who
with active speech has hurled out broad-
cast upon the administration of his pre-
decessor the declaration that the pension
system had been used as a political en-
glue; that the department as it had exist-
ed for years under republican administra-
tion was a partisan machine; and that in
order to gain the allowance of pensions it
was necessary to give an adhesion to a
particular political organization.
Sir, in the name of the thousands of men
yet unpensioned. I protest against the as.
pcrsions which have been cast by this man
upon his predecessor, upon men of an op.
posing political faith, who were willing to
do him justice. For no man was more
active or enthusiastic in the effort that led
to the pensioning of Mr. John Charles
Black than I was. I hailed the opportu-
nity with joy of doing justice to a disabled
veteran of the Republic, little thinking
that in the years to come, enjoying that
pension to which he was not entitled, he
would use the power of that great ofilce
for the purpose of overthrowing the sys-
tern of which he is himself one of the most
conspicuous beneficiaries.
It is to be regretted that your space will
not permit the full debate on that question.
That a man should have been a Union of.
ficer and wounded as John C. Black was
and should then return home and become
one of the most bitter and relentless cop-
perhead partisan of his state and, justly
judging by his acts in office here, a hater
of the Union soldier, is one of those
strange enigmas in human character, that
though inexplicable, prove in this case
the man’s heart to be blacker than his
name. He has removed scores of wound-
ed Union soldiers who were experienced,
faithful and competent clerks in the Pen-~
sion ofiice here, for the basest of partisan
, motives and replaced them in numerous
instances with confederates. He has been.
the lackey of the President ever since his
advent here and has volunteered to act as
general usher and introducer on the occa-
sions of the President’s receptions. His
“physical "wreck” condition in a convivial
way is further illustrated by the statement
that only a few days since he was seen in
the cold waters of the Potomac up to his
middle whipping the river for black bass.
Such an errant. hypocrite should either re.
linquish his high salaried office or his high
rated pension, or else have the decency
to cease his warfare on sick. wounded
and disabled soldiers seeking pensions,
who are far more honestly entitled to them
than himself, and unless he reforms in this
respect the end is not yet with this justly
characterized “imposicr.”
ransmaur’s mouse.
The President has finally had the good
sense to secure his own and his fiancee's
peace of mind and quiet, by taking the
public into his confidence and having it
ofiicially announced that he is to be mar-
ried to Miss Folsom, at the White House,
Wednesday evening, by his pastor, Rev.
Dr. Sunderland. The old proverb has it,
that it is never too late to mend, or marry
and the President’s nuptials willbe a source
of general satisfaction to the people of the
country and of especial delight to the
“society" butterflies of the Capital. All a
matter of courses newand romantic inter-
est will hereafter attach to all'the social
features of the White House. Mr. Cleve-
land has purchased an oldfashioned but
most charmingly situated summer resi-
dence on Georgetown heights, whither
it is said he will remove, with his bride,
during the intense heat of summer. ‘
mos sraixas.
Statistics collected by Bradstreet‘s
special agents show that, within a terri-
torial area of some five hundred thousand
square miles, or about one-sixth of the en.
tire country, the labor strikes since the
first of May have cost the workingmen
wages to the aggregate amount of three
millions of dollars, and their employers
two and a half millions of income.‘ The
contracts for future work cancelled or de-
ferred on the'pame account reach the value
of nearly twenty-five millions of dollars.
These figures are stupendous. :l‘hey come
in a large measure from the building
trades. The Star estimates that in this
city has been lost fifty-four thousand dol-
lars wages within the last three weeks,
and the building contracts put aside final-
ly or temporarily, touch a value of two
millions.
. salsa-roman EULOGIES.
The senate’s attempt to pay fitting
tribute to the life and character and public
services of the late General Miller, senator
from California, were distressingly marred
by a two minutes' speech from his suc-
cessor, Senator Hearst. Mr. H. is a
grossly illiterate man, who by a lucky
chance became a millionaire, and, having
been a munificient contributor to the Cali-
fornia democracy, was sent to the senate
by the democratic governor of that state.
upon the death of Senator Miller. It is a
shame and disgrace to intelligent poverty
that such men can be so thrust into con-
gress. Efforts will be put forth to keep
Senator Hearst's “eulogy" out of the
memorial volume. It was execrable in'
conception, matter and form, and an
agony for every friend of the dead senator,
who had been a noble soldier and clear
headed man and statesman, to listen to.
PERSONALS.
Miss Cleveland returned Saturday even-
ing to put the White House in order for
her brother’s approaching nuptials.
Hon. William H. Barnum was flying
about lawn and at the capitol Saturday,
apparently staggering as usual under the
hungry and thirsty weight of his party.
Mrs. George S. Seeley and Mrs. E. G.
Lee and daughter, of Meriden, were visit-
ors at the capitol last week.
Hon. Senaca Thresher, a noted member
of the New London bar, was here last
week to meet, it was said, a very import-
ant personal engagement with the Hon.
William H. Barnum, at the White House,
with an ulterior purpose of securing some
at least of the “public good" as dispensed
by the “reform administration.”

The Dlflerence.
President Cleveland is a veritable old
Spartan in the firmnessfiwith which he re-
fuses to let James Chandler and Edward
Ayers have pensions of eight or ten dollars
a month. But he can’t see anything
wrong in General Black—who is able to
earn 85,0008 year as pension commission-
er—also drawing a pension of $100 a
month. Some men are so constructed
that a knot-hole in a barn door locks big-
ger to them than the entire barn itself.
Perhaps President Cleveland's optics are
of that peculiar sort. As for Pension
Commissioner Black himself, unless he is
a veritable Pachyderln, he must feel,after
Senator Ingall’s scathing speech, like
crowding into that knot-hole and drawing
the hole in after him.—New Haven Palla-
dium. '

Utter Nonsense. .
It is reported that ,Norwalk newsboys
have been informed by their customers
that if they continue to sell the Mechanics'
JWf'Ml the customers will not buy other
papers of them. The Journal is the work-
ingmen’s paper and if this is true, is likely
to have a taste of be cott idea working
hind end foremost. e don’t believe in
in the boycott principle, but if it must be
used, we don't see why it shouldn‘t cut
both wan—Bridgeport News. ' .-
Thc above may be condensed into one
word—rot. It is barely possible that one
such incident has occured but as for it be-
ing a general movement that is all sheer
nonsense. 'The very people who most die-
like the Journal are people who have sense
enough to know that a silly boycott would
be the immediate signal for a long career
of prosperity for that paper.

the Danbury dc Norwalk railroad Wednes-
day and as we predicted in last week’s
Gama-s found every thing in a first class
condition. Friday’s Bridgeport Standard
says:
The Railroad Commissioners ex ress

of the Danbury and Norwalk railroad.
Under the supervision of Superintendent
Crawford many improvements have been
made during the last year and passengers
who pass over the line daily are satisfied
that their comfort has been taken into con. -

The Town Meeting. '
The special town meeting called for
Saturday afternoonto take action in the
matter of buying land for a new town
house was the largest meeting ever held
in this town. The hall was packed to the
limit of even standing room,“ and many
climbed up into the windows from the
outside. More than ahundred who sought
admission could not get in and were
obliged to retrace their steps. '
» Hon. Asa Smith was chosen moderator
and, after the reading the call, Mr. Eben
Hill ofiercd a series of resolutions appro-
priating $8,000 for the purchase of what
is known as the Marvin Brothers’ lot on
West avenue as a site for a proposed new
town house. Mr. W. Thompson offered
an amendment that all work dohc on the
lot or building be done by citizens of the
town. Carried unanimously. Mr. J.
Belden Hurlbutt then took the floor in
opposition to the original resolution. ‘He
said the borough debt was 11 per cent. of
the grand list, and the town debt was 3
per cent. If this matter was carried it
would increase the debt so that citizens of
the boroughwould owe 16 per cent. of the
combined grand lists of town and borough.
He showed that the proposed position for
the town house was in no wise central
and would accommodate no one. If the
matter of a scldiers' memorial could be
divorced from the town house matter he
would vote for any sum needed by the
soldiers, but in the present circumstance
he most earnestly opposed the whole
matter.
Jerry Donovan said that if the memorial
committee said that the lot in question
was worth $8,000, the committee's idea of
dollars and cents was of no value. The
people did not want to throw money away.
He quoted a report that the same lot had
been offered for sale within a compam
tively short time for $5,000. ' '
General Couch warmly advocated buy-
ing the lot and said it was well worth
$8,000. The Marvins were honest and
public spirited men, and wanted nothing
more than right. They could get $8,000
for it today, but they would not sell
it at that price to anyone but the towa.
[A voice—“Good reason why."] In a'fcw
years the land would be worth much
more than $8,000 and it ought to be
bought now.
Mr. John S. Seymour wanted to know
if thecommittee had any guarantee that
the Marvins would sell for $8,000. Mr.
Hill stated they had. Mr. Seymour then
accepted the spirit of General Coach's re-
marks but doubted their correctness as
from the town tax book, sworn to by the
assessors, he gathered the fact that the
land .was only assessed at $750. [Laugh-
ter.] He referred to the report that the
land had been oflered for $5,000 and said
no savings bank in town would loan more
than $2,000'on it if the owner was a poor
man. He thought $4,000 amply sufiicient
and moved, as an amendment, that that
sum be appropriated.
Mr. Hill said it could not be bought for
that and there was no use in ofiering it.
General Couch, Jerry Donovan and Mr.
Townsend spoke on the amendment,
which was finally carried overwhelmingly.
Mr..E. A. Woodward then moved that the
whole matter be indefinately postponed
which motion was carried with a rush.
0n the matter of the sale of land near
the Benedict Hat Factory to provide for an
enlargement of the factory Mr. Perry arose
to speak on behalf of the Selectmen. He
said he had a set of resolutions he wished
to offer. Jerry Donovan raised the point
that Mr. Perry was a non-resident and had
no right to participate in the meeting.
[Laughter,] Mr. Hurlbutt then moved-the
resolutions held by Mr. Perry and was
seconded by Winthrop II. Perry. The
resolutions were read. Gen. Taylor ofifer-
ed a subsitute resolution which was prac-
tically the same and which released the
property wanted, to the Benedicts for $1.
This was carried unanimously and the
meeting adjourned.

St. Paul’s Centennial Celebration.
Of St. Paul’s Episcopal church in Nor-
walk, the Hartford Telegram says :—‘
On the 15th of next July St. Paul’s
Episcopal church in Norwalk will cele-
brate the one hundredth anniversary of its
consecration. This was the first
church censecrated in America and there-
fore the centennial cclebration of that
event will be one of much interest to
churchmen of this and neighboring states.
On June 27, 1785, Bishop Scabury ar-
rived in New London on his return from
Scotland, where he had been ordained as
the am American bishop ofvthe Protestant
Episcopal church. He at once proceeded
to organize the church on this continent
by conferring the rite of confirmation on
such as were presented. On August 3,
1785, he heldthe first ordination service in
Christ church, Middletown, where four
rsons were admitted to the deaconate.
our days later he conferred the order of
priesthood on Colin Ferguson, who was
the first to receive that order in America.
At thistime the few churches here were
poor and in debt and consequently could
not be consecrated. The first to extin-
uish its indebtedness was St. Paul’s, of
orwalk; hence it was the first to be con-
secrated, the ceremony taking place on
July 15, 1786. At the time of its conse-
persons. who came. frdm all the ,sur.
roundln country, many of them traveling
twenty. ve miles to receive the rite.
From that time to the present St. Paul’s of
Norwalk has been one of the most success-
ful parishes in the diocese in every way,
especially so in the priests who, have had
it in charge. The venerable Dr. Mead
was its rector for nearly half a century.
At his death, which the congregation
keenly felt, it was thought it would be
hard to secure a satisfactory successor, but
one was secured in the person of Rev.
Howard .S. Clapp,‘ who has fully come up
to the required standard of this intelligent
and refined congregation. We doubt not
but the centennial celebration will be one
of much joy and gladness to both priest
and people.
While on this subject we will refer to
the phenomenal advancement of the Epis.
copal church in the United States. At
the expiration of forty-five years after
Bishop Seabury’s ordination in 1830, with
a population of 18,000,000, the church had
less than 31,000 communicants, less than
one-fourth of one per cent. Now in Con-
necticut alone it has about 24,000 commu-
nicants. One diocese, that of New York
city, has over 40,000. At the expiration
of seventy-fivmars, 1860, with a'popula—
tion of 31,000, , its covnmunlcants had
increased nearlyfive fold, or to 147,000,
(about one-half of one per cent. of the
population.) During the last twenty-five
years, while the population has about
doubled, the church communicants have
nearly quadrupled, amounting to nearly
600,000, or one per cent. of the entire pop.
ulation. Taking into consideration the
fact that the communicants do not exceed
ten per cent. of those who attend and are
in a measure identified with the church
these figures prove the rapid strides the
church is making towards christianizing
the country at large. , .
One hundred ‘ears ago the church con-
sisted of one fee le diocese that did not
contain one consecrated church. To-day
it has sixty-six dioceses comprising nearly
4,000 churches and missions, whose com-
bincd contributions last .
the enormous sum of $10,000,000.
TheIa'nnAls of modern history does not
contain an equal record ,to compare with
the peaceful and quiet prosperit and ad-
Amen‘ca. ‘
