SUCCESS BASED UPON MERIT.

It is subject of general remak, among both wholesale and retail druggists, that no medicine introduced to the American public has ever gained such @ popularity and met with so large sale in all parts of the land, in the same length of time, as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This cannot depend upon it's having been more largely advertised than any other medicine, as such is not the case. The correct explanation, we think, is found in the fact that this medicine produces the most wonderful and perfect cures of very bad cases of bronchial, throat and lung diseases, is undoubtedly the most perfect and efficient remedy for all kinds of coughs that has ever been introduced to the public, and at the same time possesses the great est of blood-purifying and strengthening properties that medical science has been able to produce, thus rendering it soy ereign remedy not only in the cure of Con sumption, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and Coughs, but also for diseases of the liver and blood, as scrofulous diseases, blotch es, rough skln, pimp1es. black specks and discolorations. It has therefore wide range of application and usefulness, and it not only gives the most perfect satisfac- tion to all who use it, but far exceeds the expectations of the most sanguine, thus eliciting the loudest praise, and making permanent living advertising mediums of all who use 1t.

 The Fair and Cattle Show of the Fair field County Agricultural Society is held at Norwa1k, this year. It commences on Monday next and continues through the week. This is without question the finest County Fair held in the State; and, ow- ing to the near proximity of Bridgeport, Stamford, Danbury, and other important towns, the attendance is always very large. The Society has ample grounds, and very spacious buildings, and the exhibitions are we'll worth seeing. The Shepaug Railroad will sell Excursion Tickets. at half regu- lar fare, on Wednesday 17th and Satur4 day 20th insts., and we are confident that all who go down will be amply repaid. 2 From the crowds we have noticed in in the streets at rehearsal times, we imag inc that the grand entertainments .adver- tised in our last for Wednesday and Thursday evenings of this week will be a. grand success. Coming back from din her, Tuesday, we encountered Julius Ca- sar, Lord Byron, Frederick. the Great, Queen Elizabeth. Cleopatra and the poet Tupper, coming up South street; while Jupiter Tonans, Abraham Lincoln. Diana of the Ephesians, Alexander the Great Mary Queen of Scots, Mrs. Hannah More, The Maid of Orleans, and several we didn't recognize were fling maiestically arounti; Mrs. Weller's corner. All the beauty, grace and talent of the village( with few notable exceptions) appear in various tableaux, pantomimes, &c., under the experienced direction of MT. c. B. Bartlett. of Bos- ton. The entertainments will commence on Wednesday evening at 8 p. n,., and on Thursday eveyening at s:5o P, m. Ad- mission, 50 cents; children, half price. Net proceeds to go into the Church Fur nishing Fund. On Thursday evening. af- ter the entertainment, the Shepaug rail road will run an extra train as far as Washington, at excursion rates, which will enable persons to come np and return the same evening.

California returns indicate sweeping
 victory for the anti-monopolists in last
 weeks election. The legislasureis prob-
 ably Republican, and certainly hostile to
 Gorham, the railroad candidate for U. S.
 Senator to- osSsucceed Mi. Casserly. The
 N. F. World undertook at first to claim
 the result as Democratic victory, but
 later returns have silenced the claims of
 petty partisanship and shown that the
 victory over the Central Pacific was gain
 ed by a popular uprising without distinc-
 ton of party under the leadership of Gov.
 Booth. The governors speech on the subject of railroad influence is one of the ablest and most instructive the great contest between the people and the rail- roads has called out. and we intend soon to lay it before our readers.
 As the tune for the renewal of licenses has come round the Palladium makes some suggestions worthy ofattention. It considers the present amount charged for a retaililicense S1OO) too small Such it unquestionably is in many cases in the city. That ought to be the minimum, to be increased where the amount of busi- ness done will justify it. It proposes a distinction, also, between vendors of fer mented liquors and those who sell distill- ed liquors, also. We doubt the expedi- ency of any such distinction least in the country. Furthermore, selectmen should not only take the responsibility of refusing applicants, but have it under stood that all unlicensed vendors will be prosecuted. Such refusals, however, should be based on some principle that can be explained and justified, not on mere personal likes or dislikes. Unjust distinctions simply render it impossible to prosecute anybody. 'l', "1- --'.. et@ -'
 The Norwalk Hour, whose editor has a suit we believe against the N. Y. .& N. 7. H. R. R. Co.,, complains that the judicia- ry of this state is so generally interested in favor of railroad companies by being stockholders, &c., that there is but one judge who, having no such interest, comes really unbiased to the trial of railroad cases. No doubt there is some ground for this complaint, though it may be doubtful whether the leaning of the judges one way more than counterbalan- ces the leaning of juries the other. Rail road companies have this advantage, how ever; they can avoid jury trial by suffer ing default" in which case the damages are assessed by the judge. There always seemed to us an impropriety in Judge Sanford's continuing to hold his position as Secretary of the New York & New Ha- ven R. R. Go. after he was appointed Judge of the Superior Court. The State pays for, and is entitled to his entire time, to say nothing of the difficulty of serving two masters whose interests are so di- verse. sr .-t- -. T@..
