bad weather and deep snow. GOV. Straw

Mason by the liberal republicans and John
Blackman by the prohibitonists. The pres
ent congressional delegation. Messrs. lib
bard, Bell and Parker, are democrats and

special despatch from Jefferson city, which
rial was drawn up at the Planters House in
St. Louis on Sunday by several leading DEM
ocrats in and out Of the legislature and for
warded to the committee on privileges and
elections at Washington, which contains
some new testimony in the alleged Bogy
bribery matter. The purport Of the tes,imo-
ny it is said is that during the last democratic
Senatorial caucus, after Gen. Phelps had
been dropped, Col. MoAfe, the law partner
of Phelps, determined to urge the Phelps
men to vote for Blair, and with this view
called some of Phelps friends out of the eau
Gus and told them that Phelps desired that
his friends should vote for Blair, and that he

On motion of Mr.. Chandler the Secretary

how mary superficial feet of clear space is ac-
corded to each steerage emigrant on ship

The Senate resumed the consideration of
the Caldwell case. His statement was read
He puts lis defence upon these grounds
First, the election Of a senator, like the enact
ment OF a law in its sovereign capacity and
the motives of members voting cannot be in
CURED into for the purpose OF invalidating it.
Second, in Judging of the qualification the
Senate cannot add to those prescribed by the
constitution in Judging of the returns the le-
gal requirements cannot be amplfied, and in
judging of elections, the only questions to be
considered are, was it the legislature of the
State that made the election, was it held at
the time and place and in the manner pre-
scribe1 by act of Congress: Ard did the
certified person receive a majority: In this
case these questioes are all answered in the
affirmative. Third, not dollar is traced
from Mr.. Caldwell or by his authority or from
any body else to any member of the legisla-
ture as il consideration for his vote Mr.
Caldwell concludes by solcmnly declaring
that he never directly or indirectly paid or
caused to be paid, one dollar or any other
thing of value of any consideration whatever
for any mans vote for senatorshipIand by de-
nouncing the wicked conspiracy against him.
Mr.. Carpenter spoke on the defence of
Caldwell. The testimony against him was
not such as would be submitted by count to
jury as to Caldwell's guilt. He should vote
agains: the expulsion Of the senator and asked
senators before they cast their votes to dis
grace him at least to read and study the tes-
timony. He would ask for Caldwell, what he
would ask for any man charged with crime.
He would ask the court to discharge its duty
10 matter what might be said by mobs outside.
Without proceeding further in the debate
the Senate at 80 went into executive ses-
SION and afterwards adjourned.

THE TuwN MEETING.

The people OF this ancient town assembled
at Andrews Hall at Fairfield village. for their
annual town meeting On Monday. Owing to
the storm the attendance was comparatively
thin. The business was transacted with har-
mony and dispatch s. s. Brown, Esq, was
| Calvin G.. To.man, Nahum Tozcr and Sias
| B. Starbird, selectmen, assessors and over
seers of the poor; Virgil Conner, S. s. COM
mttee. Twenty five hundred dollars were
raised to be expended in schools in the ord-
binary way. This with thirteen hundred dol
lars remaining in the treasury unexpended,
makes more money than was raised last year
for this purpose. In addition the town voted
to raise five hundred dollars to be expended
in free high school, in accordance with the
provisions of the law Of the last session of the
Legislature. There was one item in the war
rant which elected considerable discussion
Ito see whether the town would instruct the
selectmen to call future town meetings at the
Town House" Ever since the incorporation
of the town the meetings have been held at
what is called the center. The people in this
village thought this hardship, as a majority
of the voters can be better accommodated at
the village accordingly, previous to the cleo
if the town would hold its future meetings at
the village, and by large majority the town so
voted. An effort was made to get this back
again, but the town by large majority voted
to pass over the article so the town will hold
its future meetings at the village.
A Pleasant SURPRISE.
Some Of the ladies Of the Methodist con-
CATION, learning incidentally that Mrs. Ran
dali, the wife of their pastor, was to pass on
the sth inst. to the venerable age of fityyears,
got up very pleasant surprise in honor of
the occasion. Ladies and gentlemen to the
number OF some seventy, came rushing into
parsonage, took possession and had things
their own way. As there were so many of
them, the pastor and his lady judgedi it entire
ly useless to resist SO they made the most Of
it they could. However, no harm WAS done
to the parSon or premises. \ bountiful sup
per was served, the evening spent in social
conversation, singing and prayer. At the
close of the interview, Mrs. j. F. Nyc in a
very neat, appropriate speech, presented in
behalf of the ladies, to the pas tors wife two
! valuable and pretty dress patterns with trim
| ings, and also very nice dress for the daugh-
| ter, with other valuable presents. The pas
tor and wife were perfectly surprised as no
| intimatiun of what was about TO happen, had
been given (who says a woman cannot keep
| a secret:) The Wife although lady Of deeds
| rather than words, did make some very APP
proprate remarks in reply, in which thanks
were expressed for the kindness manifested
not only upon this occasion, but SO frequently
before. The occasion was very pleasant one.
To such conduct on the part of his people |
think no pastor or pastors wife would object.
