The Annexation Question


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In yesterdays issue of your paper our eye met the following unique passage: |" East Haven now consents to division and New Haven has an opportunity to acquire the harbor, the river and the whole water front from Fair Haven down to Lighthouse Point. The territory comprises the very best land in East Haven, being mostly high and pictur- esque land, the very best location for resi- dences around New Haven-Fair Haven Heights, Townsend avenue, where the resi- dences of Messrs Benedict, Townsend, Mitch ell and others are situated, the beautiful Cove and Lighthouse Point, making taxable property of one and one-half millions which New Haven adds to her grand list as now valued, and which is liable to multiply in value in the course of few years"
 For period of eighty years the village of East Haven had a conflict with the town of New Haven to be set off a distinct town, and in 17S5 their prayer was granted, and now, after ninety-five years existence as town, we find bonded and note debt of over S184, ,OO0 burdening us. We have a few good assets in the shape of :.uncollected taxes, etc., it is true, but after scraping all our odds and ends together we will have an obligation of $164, ,OO0, at the lowest figure, (and I generally figure on a rock basis) rest ing upon us. And to you freemen of New Haven we turn to help us pay the debt created, in part, by the war for the sal yation of the Union; for building of bridges (which, in equity, you ought to have built for us ;" for our highway Improvements and in other miscellaneous ways, and we suppli- cate, we get down upon eur very knees to you to take over S1, 500, ,OOO of our property to pay our obligations take us to your pro- tecting arms that we may be shielded from the destitution now threatening us.
 It is true we shall want a new Tomlinson's bridge, with draw to swing to a watch bal ance wheel nicety, and we shall want an ap.

Picture of a City at nIidnight.

That stified hum of midnight, when traffic has lain down to rest, and the chariot wheels of vanity, still rolling here and there through distant streets, are bearing her to halls roofed in and lighted to the dne pitch for her and only vice and misery, to prow1 or to moan like night-birds, are abroad that hum, say, like the stertorous, unquiet slumber of sick life, is heard in heaven Oh, under that hideous coverlit of vapors and putrefactions and imaginable gases, what & fermented vat lies simmering and hid! The joyful and the sorrowful are there; men are dying there, men are being born; men are praying-on the other side of brick parti- tion men are cursing; and around them all is the vast, void night. The proud grandee still fingers in his perfumed saloons, or re- poses within damask curtains wretched- ness covers into truckle-beds, or shivers hunger stricken into its lair of straw in obscure cellars, rouge et-noir lan- guidly emits it's voice of destiny to haggard, hungry villains while chancellors of State sit plotting and playing their high chess game whereof the pawns are men. The lover whispers his mistress that the coach is ready and she full of hope and fear, glides down, to fly with him over the borders the thief, still more silently, sits to his pick-locks and crowbars, or turks in wait till the watch men first snore in their boxes Gay man. sions, with supper-rooms and dancing rooms, are full of light and music, and h1gh-swel- ling hearts but, in the condemned cells, the pulse of life beats tremulous and faint and bloodshot eyes look out through the darkness, which is around and within, for the light of stern last morning. Six men are to b@ hanged on the morrow; comes there no ham, mering from the Rabenstein 2-their gallows must even now be building.

Riot cries aloud, and stag gers and swaggers in his rank dens of shame and the mother, with streaming hair, kneels over her pallid dying infant, whose parched lips only her tears now moisten. All these heaped and huddled together, with nothing but little carpentry and masonry between them; crammed in like salted fish in bar rel or weltering, shall say, like an Egypt ian pitcher of tanned vipers, each struggling to get his head above the other; such work goes on under that smoke counterpane But I, mein Werther, sit above it all I am alone with the stars.-CGrLyle.

HOW TWeed's ssTravels'' Forfeited His
 Insurance Policy.
 A life policy issued October 1, 1868, upon the life of William M. Tweed set forth that in consideration of $1, 1sO.90 paid, and a like sum annually during the continuance of the policy, it would pay for the benefit of plaintiffs BIC, 900 upon the death of Tweed. If he should be alive April l, 1878, and the policy in force, it would pay the sum to Tweed. The policy contained among other conditions this, that it should be ssvoid and of no effecta if the party whose life is in- sured should without the written consent of this company, previously obtained, travel upon the seas.'' On the 4th of September 1875, Tweed escaped from the cusbody of the Sheriff of New York, who held him %iisldsr civil process, and was recaptured at Vigo, Spain, in September, 1876 and was brought to this country by sea- He had never eb- tained the consent of the insurance company to travel upon the seas. Plaintiffs did not offer to surrender the policy until August 1877, when they did so, and demanded from the company paid-up policy for eight-tenths of the amount insured. Held: That the travel upon the seas by Tweed forfeited the policy and plaintiffs right there under and the premiums paid thereupon, and that there was no equitable ground for releasing from the forfeiture. On the back of the policy was printed staetment that permits will be granted by the company to the insured to travel in foreign countries on reasonable terms" Held: That it could not be claimed that the company was bound to grant the permit upon payment of 8 reasonable charge, which the court could fix and allow in this action to the company as & deduction. The company could impose other terms than a reasonable charge. The court could not act when the permit was not even asked for And the court cannot relieve from the for feiture, even though the insured returned in safety to this country.

A striking incident is Said to have occurred in the executive session of the Senate when Senator Beck, of Kentucky, spoke of the possibility of the Cabinet not being con- firmed. He suggested that, if the Democratic party wanted to make perfectly sure that it should not under any possibility succeed to the control of this government for the next twenty years, all it had to do was to raise one whisper against confirming the nomination of the son of Abraham Lincoln.
 Of all the men made unhappy by the new Cabinet the Indiana crowd are said to suffer most They all insisted that Indiana must have a representative in the Cabinet, but as soon as any name was mentioned the ma ority turned against him. They were finally informed that if they would agree on a sol dier Indiana should have place. It was ex- pected that under such encouragement they would present the name of General Walter Gresham, who would have been an excellent appointment but after great deal of bick- ering they at last agreed on Representative Calkins, man of no particular qualified tions. When the party who carried the name of Calkins to the White House arrived there the Cabinet list was on its way to the Capi- tol and Indiana was left out in the cold.
