Rowland of Dnnbury, a whole year in Connecticut before he Mrs. ilenry mason, and Mr. Eben lull. minated next day in a fisticuff fight in the lobby between Representatives Cobb, of Indiana, and Laird, of Nebraska. Laird ‘ drew the first blood, landing a terrific blow on the nose and mouth of Cobb with his left fist. By the interference of- the bystanders, a regular Sullivan slugging match was averted. The two noble heroes of this disgraceful episode had previously called each other “liars" and “perjured villians" to their faces, and the fight was but the culmination of their had blood and torpid livers. Both Houses had to unite in a bill ex- tending the period of last year’s Appropri— ation bills up to the 31st of July. Last session the Democratic House was seized with the economy spasm andso cut down the estimates sent in by their own party friends, that now nearly fifteen millions of dollars will have to be appropriated in Deficiencybills, and yet the same and even worse demagogue cheese paring is going on in the House. This is about the thin- nest scheme for delnding the people into a view that Democrats are saving money and administering the government more economically than the Republicans did. The assumption is basely false and pur- posely intended and known by its authors to be deceptive. - PRESIDENT’S LETTER. By many the recent special order of the President is looked upon as merely a cunnningly devised notification to the few Republicans remaining in oflice to keep still and let the Democrats go into the political contributing and work, and such offset Mn: Cleveland’s words with his actions in sending $1,000 to help carry New York for Hill. But from the quiet profanity one hears all along the line of Democratic members who have re-elections on their hands this fall we are inclined to think the President is really in earnest about it, and means to have his proclama- tion respected by his party friends. If so, he is bound to be cheated right and left by his subordinates, just as he is every hour here under his very eyes and nose. MORE VETOEEI. The President has seriously offended a senator and a congressman from Missouri by vetoing a bill to increase the pension of a soldier from that state. The claimant is an active Democrat, who has been twice elected to the state senate and is in train- ing for another term. This veto of the President is undoubtedly a “mistake" for his friends say if he had known all the facts in the case he would have approved the bill. But this does not prevent the Democratic soldier and his Democratic friends from abusing the Presidentfor his stupidity. In the case of Mrs. Maria Hunter, widow of General Hunter, for whose relief the House passed a bill granting a pension of $50 a month, which was, vetoed by the President, the Democratic majority of the House committee sustain the veto. A minority report, signed by the Repnblican members of the committee, requests the passage of the bill over the veto, holding that it has been the invariable practice to pension at $50 per month widows of ofllccrs of rank similar to that held by General Hunter; that the President has signed a number of such bills during this session (aside from the case of General Hancock’s widow), and that there is no reason for making an exception in this case. No ACTION. Daily and almost hourly one hears about Congress the most earnest rciterations of the subject of Mr. Tilden’s warning, that the urgent business of Congress and the Federal Executive is to fortify our sea— ports and strengthen our navy, which was inspired by the knowledge that his country would be placed at a fatal disadvantage in any diplomatic controversy by its no: torious inability to invoke the ultimate argument of war, and yet no action will be taken in that direction by Mr. Tildcn’s divided and demoralized party in Congress . Tna RANDALL BILL. From computations made at the Treas- nry on last year's receipts it is estimated that the Randall Tarifl bill will effect a reduction in the government revenues of $34,977,665, and that this is more than the Treasury can stand. Randall on the other hand denies that it will diminish our revenues, but he will not consume time by pressing action on his “crazy quilt” bill at this session. NIGHT SESSIONS. Senator Platt, after a session till mid- night the day before, said that he was Opposed to these long night sessions. If the Senate could not get business from the otherHousc early enough, so that it could attend to it properly and adjourn .at the period when Congress should adjourn, then he thought the Senate had better sit only during the regular ordinary business hours of the day. Senators should not ruin their health with night sessions for the mere purpose of hurrying up the day ' of final ndjouinment. In other words, he did not want the Senate to furnish the corpse for the next congressional funeral. Mr. Cockrcll agreed with the senator from Connecticut. Night sessions were not productive of good. He believed that the Senate meeting at 11 a. m., should ad- journ at 6 p. m. They would not hasten the day of final adjournment by night sessions. INDIAN TRADERSHIPS. Senator Platt is chairman of'the selcct committee appointed to investigate the charges of frauds in the appointment and conduct of Indian traderships in the In- dian country. The testimony thus far taken is very damaging to Indian Com- missioners and Indian Officers Atkins and a brother of ex-Scnator Jackson, of Ten- nessee. So flagrant was the conduct of these two gentlemen that Senator Vest, one of the most waspish and fiery Demo- crats in the Senate in the defense of his party when it is assailed,§comes outboldly in letters over his own name'and de- nounces'the wrong. Thus far the testi- mony clearly shows that Atkins had guilty knowledge of the improper use his friend Jackson was making of his Indian trader’s license. On Saturday a witness testified that he had also laid the whole case be- fore the President at least two months ago, but without securing justice. _ ransoxus. Friends of the Hon. D. A. Wells arc asserting that our Norwich apostle of free-trade and Democratic “reform” is so heartily sick and disgusted with his ex— periences as almoner of offices for the Third Congressional: district that he threatens to abandon party politics and the further distribution at “spoils” for- ever. Mr. Wells’ lot'as selected dis- tributor of the Third district’s quota of oflices has Indeed not been a happy one, cerncd, St. Paul’s ante-dates them all. And to the credit of the society and gen- eration of today be it said, that the rare opportunity of celebrating the 100th anni- versary of so important an event was em- braced with a zealous interest worthy the day and people. The exercises of the day were well ar- ranged aud admirably carried out, the details being in charge of a committee composed of Hon. Asa Smith, chairman; Dr. C. W. Many, W. H. Smith, L. C. Betts, C. E. St. John. C. F. Osborne and W. S. Moody, Jr., to whose efforts is due, to a great extent, the success of the enter- prise. The day was ushered in with rain and a threatening aspect of weather,which with- out doubt had its effect in diminishing somewhat the attendance. However, the church was well filled at the forcnoon services, and the attendance showed a marked increase in the afternoon. Visit- ors from out of town began to arrive at an early hour, and the clergy, invited guests, ctc.‘were met at the trains by the committee with coaches, and brought 10‘ the rectory and residences of their volun- teer entertainers. There were about thirty clergymcn present, most of whom were entertained by the resident rector, Rev. Howard S. Clapp, (to whom, by the way, our reporter would be glad to acknowl- edge indebtedness for courtcsies solic- ited, and for having found in him a very present help in time of note gathering.) Following is a list of the clergy present: Rt. Rev. BishOp Williams, of the diocese of Connecticut; Rev. Dr. Beardsley, of New Haven; Rev. Charles G. Adams, of Southport; Rev. John Townsend, of Mid- dletown ; Rev.C.C.Camp,of New Haven; Rev. Sylvester Clark, of Bridgeport; Rev. James E. Coley, of Westport; Rev. J. H. Fitzgerald, of Milford ; Rev. Louis French of Darien; Rev. George P. Hebbard, of Jersey City: Rev. A. N. Lewis, of West- port; Rev. H. L. Meyrick, of New Canaan; Rev. W. C. Roberts, of Ansonia; Rev G. P. Torrance, of. Bethel; Rev. William D. Vibbert, D. D.. of Fair Haven; Rev. Mil- lidge Walker, of Bridgeport; Rev. John R. Williams, of We‘stport; Rev. Thomas Bell, of South Norwalk; Rev. J W. Bon- liam, of New York; Rev. Joshua Kunbcr. of New York; Rev. M. M. Fothergill, of Quebec; Rev. Dr. Gibson, of Utica, N.Y.; Rev. W. W. Walker, of Stratford; Rev. C. W. Freeland, of Stamford; Rev. M. B. Dunlap, of Redding Ridge; Rev. W W. Montgomery, of Mamaroncck; Rev. Wil— liam Fitch, of Brooklyn. The morning services began at 10.30, With communion, which was followed by a sermon by Right Rev. Bighop Williams, who took for his text Psalms, 93d chapter, fifth verse: "Thy testimonies are very sure; holiness becometh thine house, 0 Lord, forever.” The discourse was a powerful one,—a characteristic of all the revered Bishop’s sermons—the object being to demonstrate that through divine grace all obstacles to the church’s progress had been triumphantly overcome, etc. At the conclusion of the morning excr- ciscs, the visitors were invited to partake of the collation that had been prepared by the ladies of the parish, in the Sunday school room And a collation it was, in- deed. Snbstantials and delicacies, taste- fully spread and abundant, invited the gathered host to partake, and after all had been fed, enough remained untouched to have fed a similar multitude. The ladies did nobly their share in the undertaking, and many words in commendation of their work were heard. The afternoon services began at 2.30 o’clock. After the reading of the evening prayer, the Rev. Dr. E. E. Beardsley of New Haven delivered the following ad- dress: Well nigh three score years have passed away since I, a stripling youth, came to Norwalk to attend school and be prepared for college. The institution hero denom- inated Episcopal Academy was conducted under the patronage and auspices of the Rev. Reuben Sherwood, then rector of St. Paul’s church, and the building where learning was to be acquired was a con- venient edifice of two stories, one for the male and the other for the female depart- ment, and it stood on the site, or not far from the site now occupied by a less classical structure of your arish. The head master was Allen C. It organ, after— wards admitted to holy orders, and ulti- mately appointed to the charge of the Episcopal Academy of Connecticut, lo- cated at Cheshire. I was rector of the church in that place when he entered upon his duties there. And thus he who had been the instructor, became, in the provi- dence of God, a parishioner, and sat as a humble bearer at the feet of the pupil whom he had instructed. The old church, which filled my vision when I first made the acquaintance of Norwalk, rose like the present one from amid the surrounding graves of your ancestors, and, as I remem- ber it, had externally an upside] or semi- circular chancel in the due orient position. It is said to have been of the exact dimensions and on the same foundation as the church burned one hundred years ago, when the town was invaded and burned by a British expedition under the command of General Tryon. This con- flagration swept everything before it, and spared the possessions of neither friend or fee. The venerable Jeremiah Learning, the missmnary in charge of the parish, and he people were deprived of their homes, and the property of those who afterwards fled from the town was con- fiscated, and a portion of the proceeds used to pay the appropriation of £500 or- dered by the General Assembly to “assist Pi-esbyterinns in rebuilding the meeting house." ‘No such allowance or favor up. pears to have been extended to the Epis- copalians, but they rallied from all ,dis- couragcments even before they rendived their dwellings, and erected a temporary edifice in which they assembled and’iwor- shipped for a time, inviting Dr. Dibble,- of Stamford, to come over occasionally and officiatc. ' The Rev. Dr. John Bowden was the rector of the parish five years, from Dec. 1784,,and though the country was ex- hausted by the long war, and the people were in every way in straightened circum- stances, yet under his influence and direc- tion they began, in 1785, to “rebuild the church in an elegant manner,” and flu- ishcd it with the aid of generous donations from friends in New York. That was the church which was standing when I was a school boy in Norwalk, and it was the first church consecrated in this country accordingto the forms of our ritual by any American bishop. The exact date of its consecration has not been found, but contemporaryevidence fixes it near the seventh anniversary of the burning of the ante-Revolutionary church. .. It happened in the fortunes of war, dur- ,mg the struggle of the colonies for inde- pendeiice, that three of our houses of worship in Connecticut were destroyed by the torch of the royal army, with whose cause they were supposed to be secretly in sympathy. The rebuilding of the churches at Fairficld and New London was delayed a little b selecting new sites, but there was no hin rance of this kind in Norwalk. The old site and the old foun- dation were the single and natural choice of the people, and if, like the ancient Jews made visitations to the older and stronger parishes of the Diocese to observe their condition and administer the Apostolic rite of confirmation. It was not till _thc autumn of 1787 that he penetrated into Litclifleld county and spent the best part of a month in cheering his clergy and awakening an interest in the church among the laity of that region. But by way of explanation itInust be remembered that he had an impoverished parish to serve, as well as a poor diocese to ad- minister, and the facilities for traveling and the means of his support were both limited. He was burdened, moreover, with great anxieties about the settlement and union of the church in all the states, on right (principles, and his mind was active an his pen busy in shaping the accomplishment of so important an object. He was especially diligent and faithful in ordainin and sending forth the ministers of the ord togestore the waste places, and prepare the waiting peOple_for his coming amen them to exercise his Epis- copal ofllce. gl‘hey had been so unused to the sacred rite of confirmation that they needed instruction on this pornt, and hence Bishop Seabury, in his first charge to the clergy, delivered at Middletown, said: “As it is unreasonable to expect that people should comply with a rite be- fore they are convinced of'their obligation to do so, it lies upon us to‘ explain to them its nature and meanin , the foundation on which it stands, the o ligations they are under to comply with it, andthe benefits they will receive from the Institution-if they come worthily to it; and then, it is to be hoped, there will be no backward- ness in the members of our church to sub- mit to it." . _ All the Episcopal churches in Connecti- cut, built before the beginning of this cen- tury, were constructed of wood: and after an order of architecture quite in accord- ance with the life and culture of the age. They were for the most part used for pub- lic worship in an unfinished state, and o ened with some special religious servrcc. he Rev. John Scovill, writing from Waterbury in the spring of ‘1761, _to the venerable society for the Propa ation Of the Gospel, said: “At the beginning of last winter I preached a sermon at the opening of a church at Cheshire; also have electcda vestry, clioscnaclerk and church wardens, since which they hive met to. gether on Sundays and read prayers and sermons.” . The old churches were in this way opened and consecrated by the. prayers and praises of devout worshippers. . So long had they echoed their vorces and been used for the sole purpose of _ worship according to the book of Common Prayer, that they did not need any new setting apart to the service of God, and the people did not ask or expect a bishop to separate them by formal act or cere- mony from “all unhallowed, worldly and common uses." There is but one ante- Revolutionary church left in Connecticut —-—the church at West Haven—and this has undergone so many alterations that it bears but few marks of the original struc- ture. The ancient churches have disap- peared, only to be replaced by those built mainly of more substantial materials, With more convenient chancel arrangements, and in a style of architecture suited to the requirements and taste of people wliolive in larger. richer and grander dwellings than their fathers. Whether the worshippers in these days are more sincere, hearty and devout is a question which suggests another line of reflection. It is certain they are not more self-sacrificing or more steadfast in up. holding primitive truth and Apostolic order. Our lot has fallen to us in an age Of great wonders and perpetual excite. ment, and because we cannot get away we ought ever to keep in mind that a re- ligiou for the world must be a religion for all changes of society, for all forms of political life and all directions of hu- man activity. The Christianity of the New Testament takes no thought into it which does not belong to us as to our fore- fathers, and the two chief properties of public worship—the two grand requisites of genuine devotion—are the same now as they always have- been ;- zeal for the glory of God, and desire for the salvation and sanctification of man. There are loud voices abroad—we all know—calling us in the name of Truth to ive up our guiding light of the world. Too many heed these voices, and so for- sake the teachings of the church. and ask questions and indulge in theories of hu- man life, which only serve to overspread their minds with darkness and doubt. “My parting injunction to you,” said Dean Hooker, when he was about to leave the parish at Coventry and take another field of labor, “is love the church; you live in evil days when evil tongues are railing against all that is great, good and holy in the land.” “Evil tongues” have not ceased their “railing," but the “great, good and holy" rise above them, and, thank God! with- stand their influence. Distant be the day when the thousand associations that whis- per to us between the lines of our treas- ured prayer book full to come home with kindly guidance to Christian people. Those who have a good heritage should prize it and hold fast to the simplicity of the faith without really shutting their eyes to the controversies of the day, or being disdainfully indifferent to the progress of thought and the result of investigation. Truth abideth‘like Him who hath vouch- safed to call Himself by its namcc ontinn- ally. It is the same yesterday, to-day and forever, and the time will come sooner or later when it shall shine forth as the sun, and be acknowledged and glorifiedthrough- out the universe. Map it be acknowl- edged and glorified to a 1 your hearts! If I may be allowed a word of exhortation, it would be in the verse of the Psalmist, applicable to Chistian believers here, now and always: “Give unto the Lord the glory due unto llis name—worship the Lord in the beauty of His holiness." At the conclusion of Dr. Beardsley’s dis- course Rev. Charles M. Selleck, of Nor- walk read the historical address. It was an able paper, full of interest and instruc- tion, and dealt with the record of St. Paul’s parish from its earliest expel-lends, long before the Revolutionary period, to the present; detailing the trials and afilic- tions, which were its portion during the “times that tried men's souls;" reviving the memories of older members with the rehearsals of events of later date, but still far back in the past; making mention of all its rectors, vestrymen, etc., from the 'first to the present esteemed and efficient incumbent, the Rev. Howard _S. Clapp, and abounding in interesting historical data concerning the growth, development and improvements wrought in the parish and property. The historical address re- quired nearly two hours for its delivery, and held the interest of the listeners to the close. . -—-———‘*D—.-——-—- "- .It Flows with Milk and Honey. The Warner House at Canaan, up in Litchfield county, is having a large pat- ronage from summer boarders, who find the pure, refreshing ozone, the beautiful scenery, pleasant drives and healthful moral atmosphere and influence of that quiet town, beneficial. The WarnerHonse is unsurpassed by any country hotel—and hardly equalled in more pretentious cities —for the excellence of its appointments, table, rooms, beds and all the requisites of a first-class hotel, including a well equipped livery stable. Its charges are astonishingly low, and a significant com- pliment to the place is the fact that city people who once enjoy its hospitality in- variably retnrn there the following season and influence others to do the same. Land- lord Warner and his estimable wife, with from the conditions under which we live, day, we infer that when the threat is car- ried into execution Wood will shoot some- body—that is, if he can make the old thing go off. Editor Cheney of the Port J clfcrson News-Letter has just come into full control of that excellent paper, and signalizes the event by changing the form,and other im- provements. We are glad to note Clic- ncy’s prosperity.

The church centennial celebration last Thursday was not without its amusing in- cidents. The members of the committee were adorned with a distinguishing badge of blue ribbon. A couple of these mem- bers, while awaiting the arrival of a train, ’ to receive expected guests, were approach- urbs, who had come to town with his other clothes on, his cowhide boots all' cleaned off and lubricated with tallow, his hair scrupulously pasted down with lard, (thus almost “making both ends ment,") with a piece of ribbon in his button-hole, a paper bag full Of doughnuts in his hand, and a woe-begone expression in his coun- tenance. Ills demeanor indicated a man overwhelmed with disappointment, who seemed to find relief in the discovery that others were in the same boat, the ribbons of the committee leading him to observe : “Too darn bud, lrilin’t it? I s’pose we might jest [as well take off our ribbings an’ go lruni ag’in." “What do you mean?” asked the com- mittee, in evident surprise. “Wa'al, I swan‘! liain’t you heard on‘t yet? the darn thing is postponed. Jest my gol blasted luck too. Worked like a hose to get the 'hayin; got the cowcum- here all liusked; grub all put up in this ’crc bundle; quart o‘ peanuts all bought— an’ new b’ gol! the rain knocks it all in . the head. ’ “Knocks what in the head?” ~ . , , “Why, the excursion to the High Rock temperance picnic—I tell you there liain’t _ goin’ to be none, an’_ you might as well go hum.” ___._‘+.___ He. Didn’t Go. Col. W. ll. Gilder, of New York, was to have started Wednesday for the Arctic regions for the purpose of painting the North Pole red. Owing to “circumstan- ces over which he had no control,” how- ever, in the shape of a warrant for his ar- rest, he dccided to defer his departure, and the North Pole still revels in its native freedom. He is accused by “Dollie" Adams, the famous “Water Queen," of having fllchcd from her a $1,000 bond. Knowing ones, however seem inclined to the belief that he repented of his deter mination to embark on a five years’ expe- dition in the frozen north, and “put up the job” on himself as a pretext forstaying at home, his heart failing him at the last minute at the dreary outlook of such a long period in that cheerlessrcgion and the possible extremities to'which he might be reduced. The stoutest heart wrll quail at the prospect of living in exile among the icebergs, where there are no ten-cent shows, no female scminarics, no salvation army; where the most ambitious mercury never aspires to anything higher than a thousand degrees below zero, and where the bill of fare is likely to be reduced to fried boOt heels, suspendclébuckle soup, fricasseed coat buttons, etc., with an ce- casional dessert of comi'ade’s liver. Col. Gilder is to be congratulated on his well-4 timed arrest. - List of Patents Issued from. the U. S.
