Dim: GAZETTE :—-The lOng, weary eight .9 ,
months’ session of the fOrty-niiith 'Con-
gress adjourned aim die.at"4 p. m., on
Tlrhrsday.‘ In many Trespects it has been
a memorable session. Many good meas-
ures have been enacted and an enormous
amount of deserving private bills were
passed by the Senate and now lie pilled
upon the House calender, awaiting action
there next winter. The general, and ROI
unjust, verdict in retrospect, will proba-
bly be' that the long session of the 49th
Congress adjourned without having done
as much injury as it was possible for the
large democratic majority in the House to
have done. .The cutting irony- of Mr.
, Baker’s sarcastic resolutions, set the dem-
ocrats of the House wild with indignation
because though introduced as a jest, they
were based on the truth and the truth was
more than the democrats could bear with
composure. There were 13,202 bills and
joint resolutions introduced during the
session—40,228 in the House, and 2,974 in
Senate. Of these, 987 were enacted into
law. The President vetoed 115 bills——
four more than all thdvetoes of all preced-
ing Presidents put together.
.The bills thatjfailed for the want Of the
President’s signature were “Joint resolu-
tion directing payment of the surplus in
the Treasury on the public debt ;” “An
act to provide for the erection of a public
building in the city of Annapolis, Md. ;”,
“An act granting a pension to Margaret
D. Marchand ;" acts for the relief of
Thomas P. Morgan, jr., Wm. H. Wheeler,
Charles T. Bowers, Francis W. Haldeniau,
J. A. Henryland others, R. D. Beckley
and Leon Howard.
Mr. Morrison was very irate because of
the President’s unwillingness to sign his
bill to reduce the Treasury surplus and
denounced him on the floor of the House
as capable of vetoing a poor widow’s little
pension and not willing or capable of
grasping a great financial measure that
Ishonld put into circulation a hundred
millions of idle money now locked up in
treasury.
That prolix and stupid Government
work the Record of the present Congress
fills 8,630 printed pagw, not including the
indexes and the appendix. This exceeds
by about 1,500 pages of the Record of any
preceeding session of Congress, and will
make unusually interesting reading on the
stump in the fall Congressional elections
notwithstanding the generally dull char-
acter of the publication.
NOMINATIONS.
The caucus of republican Senators
which convened early in the session,
adopted the rule that no factions opposi-
tion should be made to any of Mr. Clcvc-
land’s nominations, and where no good
reason existed for a rejection all such
should be confirmed. There were in all
about 5,450 names of democrats to replace
republican ofilce holders sent ,in and of
this great number only thirty were reject-
ed and these for cause and some forty
unacted upon. Not a single Connecticut
nomination either failed or was rejected.
Considerable unnecessary anxiety seemed
to have been felt (by a party not aresideiit
of our town however) Over our new post;
master’s confirmation, and both our Sena-
tors were plied with telegrams designed
to bring a pressure to bear in thé direc-
tion of hurrying up action thereon. but
these illconsidered, though duly compen-
sated efforts were »of no use or effect
whatever. Mr. Golding’s nomination, was
given to Senator Chace, Of Rhode Island,
(as were all other New England nomiua-
tions,) and as soon as he could give it atten-
tion he made an honest inquiry of the two
Connecticut Senators and others as to
whether there Were any grounds of objec-
tion and finding none, he reported it fa-
vorably. to the Postofilce Committee, of
which he was a member,.and by the com-
mittee was instructed to report it to the
Senate, which he did at the first favorable
moment in executive session, and he was
thereupon confirmed without dissent.
As there was no breath of opposition to
Mr. Golding, and Representative Seymour
had done all in his power forhim, the attack
upon Mr. Seymour by Golding’s cham'
pion, in a recent letter from Norwalk to
the N. Y. World was as unjust to Mr. S.
as it was uncalled for.
THE OLEOMARGARINB BILL.
Senator Miller says that wlilie the farm-
ers had fixed upon a five-cent tax, the rate
of tax, was not the important feature of
the bill. The evil sought to be cured was
the practice of putting on the market,
under the guise and name of butter, a va-
riety of fraudulent imitations. The ma-
chinery devised to prevent this, is retained
in all its vigor in the bill as it became a
law. Oleomargariue and all imitations of
butter must henceforth be put up in
stamped and branded packages and must
stand on their own merits, The penalties
for violation arc'severe, and the machinery
for the detection of evasion and for the
enforcement of the 1an is as near perfec-
tion as the experience of the Internal Rev-
enue Department could invent. Now let
the good work go on till all adulterations
of food and drink are driven out Of our
markets. _
CONNECTICUT sm'riis is THE SENATE.
The following members of the prolix
Smith family represented our State in the
U. S. Senate. Nathan Smith was elected
a Senator in 1833, Perry Smith followed
Nathan in 1837, and Truman Smith, of
blessed memory, came into the Senate in
1849.
OII, son A runrNIch or BLAINE!
' Two prominent democratic. Senators
were heard to remark just before adjourn-
merit that the trifling of the administra-
tion over the troubles on our Canadian
and Mexican borders was a disgrace to
(the party and the Nation, and one con-
eluding by saying, “Oh, if we could only
have Jim Blaine up at the White House
for a fortnight, wouldn’t there be an
awakening and assertion of the American
principle and patriotism? And with the
outburst of Blaine’s magnetic patriotism
wouldn't there be music in the air and a
‘ boom to business and everything truly
American 1’” . «
Even democratic leaders concede that
“one blast from his bugle horn were worth
ten thousand men."
One of the most prominent democratic
journalists in Washington, who thinks he
sees the President’s determination to se-
cure to himself the solid South in the
scheme for renomination, has openly de-
clared that as between Cleveland and
iilainc at the next Presidential contest, he
should certainly vote for Blaine, and his
is not an exceptional case.
ransoxALs.
Mr. James E. Benedict, of Norwalk,
who has been connected with Prof. Baird's
U. S. Fish Commission, has resigned his
position on the Albatross and goes to St.
Paul" to accept a more lucrative position
as partner in a large real estate, loan and
commission house. The younger brother
who is attached to the Senate stenograph-
ic corps, will visit his relatives in Norwalk
next week.
Frank J. Loomis of Vernon, Conn., a
naval cadet, was last week nominated to
be an ensign in the navy.
Surgeon General Murray has just-,been
placed on the retired list. It is generally
though that Col. J. M. Baxter, the :chief
medical purveyor of the army, will be
Gen. Murray‘s ' successor. Be is the next
in rank and is the senior colonel on the
list. He is a native of Vermont, and a
man well and favorably known, of good
ability and large experience, and in every
way fitted to fill the position with advan-
tage to the service. Hehas a large num-
ber of friends who would rejoice to see him
in the position he is so eminently qualified
to fill.
Edward A. BOWers, son of ex-Gov. r
Bowers, of New Haven, is here, and has
just been commissioned a special Inspec-
tor of the Public Lands Department,
headquarters in Dakota.

The Danbury R. B. Low.
. As much interest is felt in the proposed
“new departure” of our littleDanbury 85
Norwalk railroad, we are permitted to
state authoritatively that the project was
first broached by the Housatonic 00., and
after due deliberation and careful survey
of the whole field of present and projected
railroad schemes, which could at the pres-
eat or near future affect the Danbury's in.
terests, the board of Directors met and by
a unanimous vote agreed to recommend
the Honsatonic’s proposition to their
stockholders for approval and adoption.
This stockholders‘ meeting is expected to
be held at the Danbury Co.'s office in
South Norwalk on Wednesday, Sept. 15,
at 2 p. in. Meantime a copy of the pro-
posed lease is on file with Secretary Wil-
liams at Danbury, and D. 85. N. stock.
holders are invited to call and examine
the same if they so desire. Of course the
idea advanced that the Housatonic Co.
has in contemplation a removal of any of
its shops or works to Norwalk, is all bosh.
A double-tracking of the Danbury road
may be among the contingencies of the
future, and even'more'important develop-
ments and connections are among future
probabilities, but while a transfer of the
Daubnry’s franchises to the Housatonic
R. R. CO. must necessarily prove advan-
tageous to all Danbury stockholders, the
Housatonic will secure through the Wil-
son Point extension of the Danbury, the
most advantageous water connection, for
its heavy freighting business, to be found
anywhere on the Connecticut shores of
Long Island Sound. The business sagaci
ty and enterprise-exhibited in this scheme
by the Directors 'of both these corpora-
tions, are entitled to all commendation.
. ' More Snakes!
Mr. P. T. Barnum writes to the Boston
Journal :-“ Your valued paper of Thurs-
day, July 29, contains an account of an
enormous sea serpent, which, according
to the testimony of eight or more intelli-
gent and respectable witnesses, was plain-
ly near the shore at Roekport, Maine, on
Saturday, July 24. There really seems to
be no reasonable doubt that this reptile
did make his appearance -on the coast as
represented. Equally strong evidence of
sea serpents has frequently been given by
veracious witnesses in different parts of
the world. In order to stimulate seamen
and others in any part of the world to at-
tempt its capture dead or alive, I will pay
$20,000 for such a specimen as is describ-
ed in your paper.
And this terrible sea serpent was‘dis-
covered in a Maine Law state at that 1
But the most terrifying of all the entire-
ly reliable snake stories, comes from Wis.
cousin. A party of picnickers adjoining
the lake, heard a furious scramble in the
bushes and on looking in the direction of
the unusual noise, a monster serpent was
seen forging for the lake. His body was
estimated to be sixty feet on the ground,
'3.
dicular heighth of about thirteen feet!
And Wisconsin also essays to be a prohibi-
tion state. These last snake stories set-
tie the matter with us. When we go on
our summer vacatiOn, we shall give Maine
and Wisconsin and all such cold water
states a wide berth and we' are going to
stay in after dark.

The Parade.
Preparations for, the firemen’s parade
are being vigorously pushed, and the pa-
rade is an assured fact. Committees haw.-
becn appointed by each of the fire com-
panies to cooperate with the board of en-
gineers and a most efficient working force
is thus enlisted. Subscription lists are in
circulation, each having the names of
parties to be approached for subscriptions,
and so arranged by Chief Engineer Prow-
itt that onlylonc paper contains the same
names. There are five of these lists, and
those circulating them report that our bus-
iness men are responding liberally to the
call for co-opcratiou. Last night the
court of burgcsses without hesitation ap-
propriated $100 to the good cause. War-
den Hyatt has headed one of the lists with
a subscription of $25. A meeting of the
executive committee will beheld to-mor-
row night, when the scheme of prepara-
tion will be still further systeinatized as
to details. Later on, sub—committees will
be appointed.
The committee propose to raise $1,000 in
cash, besides the donations of eatables
which will be collected by special com-
mittees to be appointed for the purpose.
It is confidently expected that there will be
from 1,800 to 2,000 men in line, not count-
ing bands and drum corps.

Death of 8. J. Tilden.
In the death of this noted political lead-
er the democracy has sustained an almost
irreparable loss. In sagacious statesman-
ship and in his influence upon his fellow-
men, he was preeminent among all the
great leaders of his party. It is a singular
fact that five prominent Presidential Can-
didates of the democratic party should
have deceased within the pashfew months,
viz: Seymour, M’Clellan, Hancock, Hen-
dricks and now Tilden. The adherents of
President Cleveland are already voicing
the suggestion that these departures again
evidence the “good luck" that has follow-
ed the President all through his remark-
able career. The democratic party has
been most unfortunate also in the deceasc
‘Of such leaders as John Kelly and Hubert
0. Thompson and the forced retirement of
Daniel Manning.

\\ herever high license has been tried,
it has accomplished two things. It has
closed up the lower sort of groggeries,
and it has increased the local revenue.
Springfield Mass., a few years ago went
from license to no license, After a year’s
trial it went to the‘ other extreme, voted
for license, and the commissioners licensed
by wholesale. This year the more sensi-
ble plan of a high license was adopted,
and the number of licensed saloons in the
city was. reduced from 163 to 60.

A new fangied preparation is in market

keep the most tempting meat market
counter free from files for half a day.
Billy Banker made an experiment with it
a few days ago on his dog, to whom flies
made life a burden. The result was more
effective than satisfactory, for Billy said a.
couple of days later: “I sprayed the stuff
over him just once. Instantly the flies
took to their heels and disappeared. SO
did the dog, and I haven’t seen him since!"

A Charming Drive.
The newly improved road winding
around and along the eastern shore of the
harbor from South Norwalk Bridge to
Benedict Mill is one of the most charming
drives in Norwalk, and what a pity it is
that this delightful boulevard could not
now be extended down and around to
Dorlon’s point. A prettier drive could
not be found in all the state.

ON BOAuD SCHOONER “HousiuN,”
NEW Bapronn, MAssJ’,‘ Aug. 6, ’86.
Mr DxAir GAzaTTii :——0ur farewell to
Smith’s dock, and Dorlon’s and friends
was witnessed and participated in by
many of the loved ones, whose regrets at
the parting made ours the greater. The
delay in the coming and fitting of our
schooner had made less difference to the
club than _we had feared, thanks to the
untiriiig labor and the splendid executive
ability of our Mr. Meeker. [Meekl he is
anything but it when anythhg dependsl]
But as the sails went up he went down
the side of the vessel, called home by a
grief that gave him the honest sympathy
of the entire club. We look for him to
rejoin us here.
Our night was perfect both on deck and
below decks, as well as in the heavens.
The vice-commodore did not break over
his word Lest.a worse ill should come
upon him—but he didn't want to do so,
and he kept all quiet besides. He kept
his word, and the dreaded “first night" of
the Neptune club is a thing Of the past.
At 12 o’clock we were OE Faukland
Island, and at 6 in the morning we had
entered Plum Gut, rounding Oyster Point
at 7 o‘clock. Through the evening we
had singing by our whole company, and a
rare male chorus it is. Most of the men
have fine voices, and several of them are
firstclass leaders of song with a large
repertoire. At 5:30 we had our first ser-
vice on board, with the 10311 Psalm and a
prayer and songs from “Moody and
Sankey." The course was marked out for
Shelter Island, New Bedford, Onset Bay
at some time in the cruise, and Nantucket,
with Martha’s Vineyard. The log—keeper,
chorister and organist were chosen, and
then groups formed for songs, stories and'
the watching out for the great steamers.
By half-past ten all were in bed, and si-
lence reigned till mornihg. We dropped
our anchor on Shelter Island at 11:30 on
Thursday a. in. '
A ramble about that beautiful place put
us all in love with it. Old Neps who had
been there before told us Of its growth,
and when we mounted the observatory
the view was entrancing. I never saw so
remarkable a sweep of land and water,
each threaded in and out of the other, as
though it were the warp and woof of a
carpet of marvelous coloring, and we saw
it under a matchless sunshine.
But a fine breeze sprang up and we
hove anchor at 4 o’clock, and with all the
breeze we wanted started down the bay
for here. In the night off Buzzard's Bay
a heavy squall threatened, and our careful
captain (mindful of the tragedy at Sandy
. Hook) quite excited the men by the rapid
orders that came, and that we could dis-
tinctly hear below : “Haul down the fly-
ing jib—the main jib—the foresail—the
fore stay sail—the mainsail—and be quick
about it i"
The heavy “chuck". of waves under the
bows seemed as though we were striking
on the rocks of the "Hen and Chickens,”
and the sea as we lay . under bare poles
gave some of the boys thoughts Of home.
But morning dawned under alight breeze
that carried us slowly—too slowly for the
long sWell — .up the bay, so that our anchor
struck the water at 3 o’clock. is. A.
ViNarAun HAviiN, Aug. 7, ’86.
Dan GAZETTE :——I left you at our anchor
before New Bedford. The schooner was
all quiet at 10 o’clock at night, and your
correspondent was in his bunk asleep.
NO one pretends to sleep after 5 o’clock in
the morning, and especially when prepar-
ations are being made to trip anchor- and
set sail. We were under weigh at 6:30
with a pleasant breeze and Were pointed
for Quick’s Hole, as neither captain nor
sailing master knew the channel—or what
interested us as much, the rocks—of
Wood's Holl. But no one cared as it
would give us some thirty miles more sail
during one of the most beautiful days one
could ask. The weather is cool (ther-
mometer 69° Fahr.) and the sun is just
enough shielded by light clouds to give a
charming view of Gay [lead as we came
out of Quick’s Hole by 9 o'clock. It was
a quick trip anyhow. The sea was pass-
ably calm, and we tacked up Vineyard
Sound with enough breeze to heel us over
pretty well.
We have a capital body of men, and
everything is more than harmonious; it is
jolly. There are a number of good sing-
ers on board in the club, and the evenings
are given to song. Last night at New
Bedford we had red fire, Roman candles
and rockets for fire works, and our vessel
was surrounded by small boats, with a
racing shell or two, gazing on the brilliant
pyrotechnic display.
We made three or four tacks (I forget
which) from Quick's Hole to this sheltered
harbor, in which we are glad enough to
be. The wind shifted to E. N. E. and in-
creased to a gale, but our captain only
housed the fore and main and jib top-sails.
All at once, with a loud report, our fore.
sail split——the leech-rope had parted. He
found it was like tow. A reef was taken,
and we put in here and dropped anchor at
about 2 o'clock off Norton’s wharf on East
Chop.
Clouds gathered rapidly and soon rain
began to fall. It has been a pitiless rain,
cloudy. cold and cheerless. Eleven of our
men went to Cottage City, and were pre-
vented by the rain and from coming back.
Late in the evening there began a tre-
mendous commotion" on deck, which was
added to the thumping of the waves.
Our second anchor was being run out, for
under the heavy wind we were being
drifted ashore. Two great anchors, held
by massive chains, now look us to our
resting place and we feel safe.
I do not know what arrangements will
have been made for service to-uiorrow,
but we shall know in the morning when
the commodore and secretary return.
