The meeting of the Constitutional Re- form Association at New Haven, last week, did little besides develop 8 plenti- fal difference of opinion. The current of that opinion can be readily gathered from our report in another place. Most of the RefoEmers oppose any change of the sys- tem of town representation in the lower House. We agree with them so far as the District system is concerned. It Is probably foo early in the agitation of this great question to expect much favor from s0 conservative a state as Connecticut for any plan of minority representation; yet, as our readers are aware, we look to its ultimate adoption as the only true solu- tsoa of the dificulties that lie in the way of aIl propositions for representative re- form

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27, 1873.
 MR. EDITOR Since, your correspond ent, w. started on his travels, items in Washington have not been duly chroni- Fcled, and we must retrospect little. The great social event of this month was the golden wedding of D. O. Whittlesey, Esq. Father Time has dealt so leniently with the venerable couple that it seems scarce ly possible that they have journeyed to- Egether half 8 century, but such is the fact, and judging from appearances we Imsy not unreasonably hope that they may live celebrate their diamond wedding, If the bachelor son who was present at the golden wedding had been as consid- crate as he might have been, the occasion would have been made yet more interests ing; as was the case when the last previ- ous golden wedding was celebrated here. Then a granddaughter of the aged couple stepped forward with her bridegroom, and surprised the guests by wedding pri- mus. Perhaps the Capt. will do better next time. A word to the wise is suffi- cient. : *-'ifaff3' aa@ '.'@ lt.ss "ss :,
 The topic of interest last week was the purchase by MT. F. W. Gum of Mir. Henry Woodruf's house on Brinsmade avenue.

Since we have learned by the Enquirer that 'sMine Hill" stone, is really granite. its value has been greatly enhanced, and now that there are railroad facilities it is likely to be much used for building purposes.
