The rumor comes from Washington that President Cleveland has threat- ened to call an extra session of the fifty-fourth Congress immediately upon the expiration of the present one, if his-party fails to pass his get currency reform bill, which is in effect to re- establish the old state banks system with all its wild-cat possibilities. Exclusive. There is a sort of newspaper pub- lished in town that prides itself on printing what it terms exclusives. Its latest farce in this line is the republish- ing on December 4th, the item relative to the condemnation of Fourteen-acre pond by the Health Officer, which ap- peared in the GAZETTE of November 26th, andthen on December 0th re- ferring to it as an ‘c xclusiv'e.’ The ex- clusiveness of the aforesaid sheet is only excelled by its exclusive obscure- ness. .___ - A Beautiful System- The Justice system in vogue in this town has received another scorching in the case of the Chinaman Hong. Here we find a poor Chinese confined in jail on a serious charge not made by any of the parties directly connected with the affair but by a Justice of the Peace looking for a fee. This self same Justice not only had the charge made against the Chinaman and ordered him locked up, but he Sits upon the bench to mete out justice to the man whom he has by his own in- dividual efforts had brought before him . Such action on the part of a Justice is a disgrace to the town as well as to ‘ the Citizens League that was instru— mental in placing him in office. Another Case of Barbarism. The New York Independent gives as another illustration of the fact that not every Negro lynched in the South suf- fers this punishment for the “usual crime,” the case of Frank B. Hood, an intelligent, well-behaved, school- teacher, who was murdered a few weeks ago near Liberty, Amite, County, Miss, by a mob of three hundred white men for no other crime than because he had written letters to the county school superintendent complaining that he was not receiving the salary promised. The letters were written plainly and honestly; but such talk to a superior white man was regarded as insolence. He heard that he was to be lynched, but he refused to run away, saying that he would take his chance. He took it and died. He had committed absolute- ly no offense except that of venturing to answer back to a white man. No- body has been arrested or punished for the crime; and yet Amite County claims to be civilized. Reporters and Police. The Norwalk Gazn'rrn very appropri- ately suggests: “It would be far wiser did our police exercise the same wisdom that President Lincoln did and take the reporters into their confidence. Then a powerful aid could be furnished the ‘cause of justice in a majority of in- stances and the police have all the glory they so much crave and so great- ly need.”—Danbury Dispatch. It was president Lincoln’s practice to frankly and fully inform the Wash- ington newspaper reporters who had the entree to his presence at the 'White House, upon all subjects in the line of lthier professional investigations and particularly those connected with the contemplated army and governmental movements and if the matter was such aswould prove in any way hurtful, if published at the time, he would say “now gentlemen I give you these facts 5 for your own private information and . guidance and I have to request that no ' one of you will reveal what I have told you, until such time as I can release you from the present obligation to keep the secret.” More than once did he repeat the statement in the hearing of the writer of these lines that, “never in a single instance, was his confidence 'reposed in the newspaper boys, be— trayed, and that they could keep a secret better than Odd Fellows or Masons.” There should be no antagonisms or reserves of confidence, between the Reporters and the Police. Their in- terests and duties are mutual and the Police can derive more assistance from these alert, hard-working and saga- cious and hustling news gatherers, than they in return can derive from the po- lice. Bnt both can and should be mutually helpful in the public interest and general good. .A n Entertaining and I nstmctive Home 'Joum-al’t REQQLLEQTIONS or A- . ' WAR minimums. BY THE ' Editor of the Gazette. Copyrighted 1894- CHAPI‘ER XXXIIL. The sudden recall of Gen. Butler from New Orleans and his replacement by General Banks, Was u. surprise to the Nation and as a matter of fact, was . actually unknown to President Lincoln although he had attached his signature to the order as he did to thousands of departmental papers,in a proforma way, put before him. The event was no sur- prise, however, to Gen. Butler, as his spies in Richmond had learned from the British Consul there that it was an event sure to come in the near future and the French Consul at New Orleans had confirmed the same statement. On the arrival of Banks at New Or— leans, Butler immediately took the steamer for New York, when upon his arrival, he at once started for_ Wash- ington to report compliance With the official order for the transfer of his com- mand. On visiting the White House, the President with surprise, greeted him with “ Why Butler, what are you doing here ? I thought you were fight- ing rebels in New Orleans?” “ Beg pardon, Mr. President, but I am here in response to your official order re- calling me," replied Butler. “How is that, I do not understand this, and who pray have you left in command therei?” continued Mr Lincoln. Mu- tual explanations followed and the President ended up by requesting Butler to write him out a report of the condition and prospects in the South- ern department and stating that the change would never have been ordered had his attention. been directed to it, also, that it “was all the diplomatic work of Seward.” I heard Gen. Butler repeat this narration on several occa- sions, in the presence of his private secretary, Mr. John I. Davenport, and others, and have no doubt of its sub- stantial accuracy. Subsequently I was confidentially entrusted with the state secret that this Butler and New Orleans episode, was the cause of very serious discussion between the Presi- dent, Mr. Seward, and the Secretary of War and of the Navy. The accu- sation against Mr. Seward was that he had yielded a too willing ear to the social blandishments of the British Minister, who was intensely hostile to Butler, as was also the French Minis- ter, and that Seward had persuaded Secretary Stanton that a change: of commanders at New Orleans would prove a wise act of statecraft and that he had led these foreign diplomats to infer that he, Seward, would have But- ler replaced, etc. By them the news was communicated to ltichmond and New Orleans to their respective Con— suls, either via Europe or by clandes- tine mail, as there were than existing, no legitimate modes of communication between the cities of the Union and of the Confederacy. Gen. Butler was never esteemed by the highest military authorities, as in any sense a great strategist or army commander, but his civil rule in New Orleans was a most patriotic, able and successful one, and all of his army ex— perience, proved him to bee man of genius if not a genius in war. Heat least always held ,the confidence and highest esteem of President Lincoln, and was by him often defended when assailed by the ridicule of military officers and others. When he tried the concussion experiment upon Fort Fisher, by the explosion of several hundred tons of powder in old hulks before that monster sand fortification. I was the first reporter to interview the President upon the news of the fiasco reaching Washington. Mr. Lincoln knew intuitively what brought me so suddenly to him and beforeI could ask a question he started in by saying, “now don’t go to poking fun at Butler and putting the blame on him for this Irishman’s tree toad, for it was my scheme and I talked him and Porter into trying it. I’ll tell you all about it. I saw a report in the papers some little time ago of the explosion of several tens of powder in a chalk mine in England and the atmospheric con- cussion broke glass and knocked a man down ten miles away. Now that was the newspaper story, and I thought there was enough in it to justify a test of the experiment on the rebel forces corralled in Fort Fisher, inasmuch as our heaviest artillery could make no impression on that mountain of Cape Fear sand- So I broached the scheme to Butler, and got him earnestly in- terestedin an attem t to demonstrate its effectiveness and am the only one to blame for this Patrick’s tree toad.” “Well, please tell me your ‘tree-toad’ story, and what that is, and what has it to do with this powder explosion farce at Fisher ?” I asked. “Why,” said4 he. “twp Irishman landed iii-Boston and having heard about the deep, dark forests here and the wild- monsters roaming about them, got their clubs and left the ship to saunter up the dock and soon found themselves at the gate of Boston. Common, and seeing the great number of trees, thought them- selves at the edge of one of our great forests. Almost immediately on pass- ing in, they heard a new and ear-pierc- ing screech about one of the trees. They clasped their shillalahs with a firmer grip and round and all about the tree, but could see nothing. Finally Pat says to Jamie, ‘come away, me b’ye, its noth- ing but a dombed big noise,’ and this k is all my powder plot has proved—an Irish tree toad, or a dombed big noise, skurried round and - but don’_t you fellows put the blame on Butler, it is I and not he who deserves i . * _ Such was Mr. Lincoln’s sense of jus- tice, he was more than solicitous’ that Gen. Butler should not-bear the odium of that fiasco, and yet the Gener’al‘ was’ most unmercifully lampooned,‘ derided and abused by press, 'Army and Navy, for; the failure of that experiment,j which was not his own, and heroically bore all without a murmur, explana- tion or attempted reply. ' ' Gen. Butlers’ administration in New Orleans clearly demonstrated him ‘to be the right man in the right place; His prompt trial and execution of the traitorous Mumford for tearing down, the Union flag from the U. S. Custom House, had a most salutary effect on the large dominant and aristocratic, treasonable element of the city. His putting Southern “gentleman” broom is. hand, to sweeping and cleaningthe streets and alleys of the Crescent City, soon silenced that defiant element. After bearing innumerable insults from the rebel “ladies” (?) such as hissing our flag and soldiers and finally spitting in the faces of his staff officers, Butler issued his famous order so excessively denounced by rebels and their sympa- thisers on this side the ocean and in the British Parliament and in England by the some classes, which instantly put an end to that sort of exasperating warfare. In fine, all rebeldom saw and felt that Butler was master of the sit- uation and intended to remain so. The city was never before nor has it been- sinceso cleanly and healthful as dur ing his resolute and patriotic control. of it. He sent north for cargo after cargo load of brooms and lime to purify its noisome places by hands red with treason, and it is true that the better element there were honestly and deeply sorry for his departure, as life and property under his rule were safer" than ever known before. One of his staff. officers told me an incident I have never seen in print, relating to his seizing the great St. Charles hotel as his headquarters. On his capture of the city, the owner of the property instantly closed the noted caravansary. Butler as quickly seized and opened it, took a part of it for his headquarters and utilized other por- tions for hospital purposes and ordered its former servants back to duty. The proprietor came to the General to com- plain and failing in all arguments, thought to intimidate the General by suggesting a fear that the servants might be tempted to poison him or some of his staff. “What!” ejaculated the General, "Sir, if I or any of my soldiers are poisoned, the stomach pump may' save us but I’ll swear it won’t save your neck sir, from 9.2., halter.” It is needless to..say.no.one_ was poisoned because of his nseof the St. Charles hotel, and to this day, prominent Louisianians, frankly com- mend Gen. Butler’s rule there and 'express the regret that he was not per- mitted to longer govern the city. This is a sufficient answer to all the bitter Ialiid detestable calumnies charged upon im.

Willie Cahill and a number of his friends had a merry time at his home on River street last evening. Willie was fourteen years old yesterday and the party was given in honor of the occasion. Games were played and a splendid collation served. William Banker was the victim of a surprise partfl at his home‘corner of School and am streets last night. There was a large crowd of merry- makers _and the happiest kind of a happy time was had. “Billy’s” sur- prise was complete and it was a long~ time before _he recovered from the shock. Dancing was indulged in fol- lowed by a banquet. Miss Katie Smede was given a sur- prise party at her home No. 51 Main street, last night. Some fifty or more young ladies and gentlemen were pres— ent. Music for dancing was furnished by Allen and Shipman. . A happy social gathering was he] at the home of Homer Merrill 'last night. The occasion will ever be pleas- urably remembered by those present. Saiva—cea. _ “Robert Fitzsimmons, the pugilist, who is to fight James J.

Chicken Catchers Caught. Yesterday, the Gamma made note of the fact that a number of persons had been_,arrested in Wilton for stealing chickens, and that the culprits would be prosecuted by Attorney Lockwood of this city. The prisoners were Dari- iel, Theodore and Edward Wood, Addi- son Banks, and Mrs. Morton and son Frank, who were given a hearing be- fore Justice N. M. Belden. The testi- mony was somewhat conflicting but probable cause was found and the whole party were bound over in the sum of $500 for trial before the Supe- rior£court. The men were brought to the station-house in this city .and this morning taken to Bridgeport by Con- stable Morris Buttery, who had caused the arrest of the whole crowd.

' At'the time the St. Mary’s church was frescood among the men who came here to execute the work was one Joseph G. Hossfeld. He met and fell in love with Miss Anna E, McDonald who then and does now keep a saloon on Water street. He proposed mar- riage and was accepted and the wed- ding was solemnized by one of the local clergy after Hossfeld had present- ed satisfactory evidence that he was unmarried. After the marriage Mr. Hossfeld as. sisted about the saloon and won a num- ber of friends. About a year after, Mrs. Hossfeld from something her hns. band remarked, became suspicions that all was not right, and quietly instituted a search as totthe record of her hus- band with thec’result that she found he 'had a wife and children in Germany. She then acoused him of the fact and he did not deny it, but asked for clem- ency on her part and prayed' that she would not prosecute him. _:In order that no publicity might be given to his perfidv she acceded and some five weeks ago gave him money to leave town. , _ He returned again a few days since and Miss McDonald gave him money to go to his home in Germany with the advice that he provide for his wife and family. Fearing that he would expend the money. she engaged the services of a friend to see him ofi' on the steamer and is assured that he has left the country, To a zenrrn reporter she says, “Joe owes me nothing. I am sorry that it happened but he belongs to his first wife and what else could I do but let him go. I think that the cause of his drinking so much of late Was thoughts of the mean thing he had done in getting me to marry him. He was a good husband for a while, but if I were his, wife I would almost wish him dead.” . The license for the saloon this year was made out to Miss Anna McDonald. Her friends feel very sore at the trick played upon her but she is apparently trying to make, the best of it and wishes Joe “naught but good luck” There are no children by the latter union. - ‘ HA" " a Phenomenal Low Price of Wheat The low-price record made by wheat shows pretty well the present state of the world’s granaries. The low price is not due to a great surplus in this year’s American harvest, which was short. It is due to the excess of the world’s wheat crop in 1894, which the Liverpool Corn Trade News estimates at 2,056,000,000 bushels, against 1,986,- .900,000 bushels in 1893 and 1,956,000,000 in 1892. In future American farmers will have to get along with still lower prices for their products than the prices now rul- ing. New lands on a large scale are fast coming under cultivation. Im- proved methods of cultivation will make them more prolific, while in- creasing oversea transportation will bring their surplus products to com, pets with our grain and cotton in every market of the world. It is silly to lecture farmers against overproduction of crops, for he must get all he can out of his land or let it run to waste. Compelled to sell his products if at all, at low prices, he can- not escape financial disaster while what he used to sell to thrifty and well-to. do working people at or near his home, cannot now be purchased by them, for the reason that the new tarifi‘ has de- prived them of work and wages and so this large class cannot purchase now as formerly, their family supplies of the farmer. —-——-—-—+~O>¢-—-——- - Company K Election.
