DEAR SIR:-Your favor OF the 9th re-
ceiyed. have just returned from sew
eral weeks absence, md found former
letter waiting me. In reply to the first
letter would say that / have not yet
been furnished or been able to collect
any funds. Should / get any that could
possibly spare will be glad to contribute
something to your cause. In reply to
your last communication would say that
/ have had letter properly distributed to
the colored voters, and am waiting t.
see the effect and find out the best ones
to send the letters OF credentials to. The
great trouble about delegates going from
here is the expense, but IL can find one
or two good trusty, influential colored
men who will go will try to raise the
means to pay their expenses. We have
few colored voters here who vote the
Democratic ticket, and think some
others will do so this fall.

iition Of the entire internal revenue
system; but they deem the adoption OF
this course at present both imprarticable
and unwise, not only because the repeal
OF those taxes would create q large an

that the taxes levied on distilled spirits
used as . beverage and on beer should
be retained and the legislation to pro-

THE MINORITY REPORT.
The report Of the minority makes a
document OF twelve printed pages. 1t
begins with the statement that in the
preparation OF the substitute for the
House bill no member OF the minority
OF the committee was consulted
or informed Us TO its provi.
sions until it was reported
10 the full committee OH tho 25lh OF
September. The minority recites the
work OF the subcommittee in hearing
the statements, arguments and ap-
pcals Of manufacturers and others, who
demand that the present high rate OF
tariff taxation shall be maintained and
in most instances prompted, not by any
revenue necessities, but alone for the
purpose Of increasing their own profits
at the expense Of G0,0OO, 900 tax payers.
1t is then said that the short time Ike
substitute hRsbeen in the hands OF the
minority has made it difficult to
ascertain its effect, but the essen.
tial difference between the House
bill and the Senate substitute is
apparent and radical at the outset in the
matter OF revenue. The one is framed
in the interest Of the public treasury
the other in the interest OF privat,
pockets. The one is framed in the in
terest Of the whole people; the other ii
the interest OF 800, 900 manufacturers.
The rods out Of which the farmer
wire fence Is made are not APPARENT!

CIRCULATION.

There IN no question that the demand upon Newtown's Summer accommoda- tions far exceeds the supply. Both the Grand Central and Dicks are full and they have filled all the convenient lodg- ings to be had in the Street. Many who would have been glad to come here have been unable to do so because there was room for them Sin the inn" This is not wholly due to our bracing air, fine seen cry and convenience of access by rail. Yet 1t is what was to be expected with two such vigorous, enterprising land- lords as Mir NJ. J. Houlihan of the Grand Central and MT w. A. Leonard of Dicks. They have made their houses popular among the best class of Summer tourists by the manner in which they have con- ducted them and the BEE congratulates them on their success. They are reap ing bountifully, as they deserve. The extension of the Derby railroad will doubtless increase Newtown's growing popularity with New Haven people and, packed as the Street is, this year, the sit- nation Is attracting attention from out side capitalists. Newtown capital is slow to invest in home enterprises, preferring to run away by the hundreds of thous- ands of dollars to some outside specula- tive trap bated with promise of big divi- dends, like rolling stock. A prominent Bridgeport business man, whose enter prise has done much for the Park City's development, has offered to take big block of stock, if n company could be or ganized to build and run Summer house here that should make hay while the sun shines and be closed when blizzards roar. There is no doubt that such house would succeed, provided always that the right man ran it and the BEE would like to sec the proposition materialize. If home capital neglects Newtown, it is q satisfaction that outside capital perceives it's advantages.

A New Haven visitor, "S," has been doing Newtown up in the New IIa- ven News. s'S' twas sent over to fine old mansion, that of Gen Nichols of former days, with hall as wide as that of Queen Anne house and, indeed, dat ing back nearly to her time. The main street Is on the ridge of a hill overlooking the Housatonic valley and reminds one of Stockbrdge. Without having yet as many fine residences with closely cut lawns and tennis courts, there is the same wide stretch of roadway bordered with noble old trees, the hills rising on one side, the river sinking away on the other and no fences about the newer places. New Workers are rapidly discovering that the high rolling table land in this part of the State Is nearly, if not quite, as beautiful as that of Litchfield and Berkshire and the handsome Summer res idences, miscalled cottages, in Newtown, Ridgefleld and other of our old Fairfield county towns are bringing in q new ele- ment of life and trade. It is great thing to their owners to be able to spend their Summer so near the great city and yet amid all the natural attractions ol Lenox or Stockbridge. New Haven has been the home of good many Newtown born people, Judge Alfred Blackman Gov Henry Dutton, John Beach ant Johnson T. Platt among others. Go' Toucey and Charles Chapman of Hart ford, also, were of Newtown stock. Tn great industry Is the rubber works of tn New York Betting & Packing Co.,, em ploying some 400 people, mostly of Iris blood. They generally own their ow homes and are thrifty, industrious cit zcns, who try to keep the taxes dowr The Catholic church is much the larges in the town.''

Dicks hotel Is like q busy hive, whose accommodations are too narrow, so that the surplus guests must swarm into neighboring houses. The lodging ac- commodations have always been limited and, in the present Summer rush, are positively inadequate. Yearly guests, like Mir Sidney Cornell and Dr Wilcox son, and the Leonard family occupy Q large share of it's accommodations, so that, once the Summers business begins, lodgings are in great demand. The rooms i'm the house have been full since the first of July and, not only is the Windsor full as the old Dr Erwin place is called across the Street, but Mine Host Leonard ha' had guests, this week, lodged with Mir IT. T. Nichols, Mir l.. C. Morris, Mir G w. Stuart, Mir c. +. Beardsley, MT r. II SlSidmorc, Mir Charles Jonas and Mir johl c. Gay. If this continues, the hote would find it profitable to put upa build ing expressly for Summer lodgings.

 But while we enjoy the glories now gwen, Let us strive to attain endless glories in Heaven.
 The paper for July, 1853, announces the removal of the post office to the building north of Johnson's store and the appoint ment of Jerome Judson as. postmaster also the marriage of Homer J. Dikeman and Lydia A. Northrop. August, 1853, informs us that Rev Dr Burhans, then in his 91st year, preached at Trinity, July 24. ssHis step is as elastic as that of many men at 60 and his voice stronger and better than the voices of many cler- gymen of half his years Alfred D.

The rally of the Newtown Democratic association at the Town Hall, Saturday night, was presided over by Hon Will liam N. Northrop, with Messrs Charles Northrop, Aaron Sanford, George F. Sanford, Thomas Bradley, Thomas F. Bradley, Charles Jonas, Clark R. Shell ton, Edward Murray, Robert A. Clark, Edward Taylor, F. Ready, Charles H. Peck, William H. Hubbell and Philo Northrop as vice presidents. Mir Daniel Davenport of Bridgeport first addressed the meeting on the subject of tariff re- form. The government, he said, has 5000, ,0OO, ,000 of the $2, COG, ,000, 900 of cur rency locked up in it's vaults and the problem he presented was to reduce the governments income and prevent further increase of this surplus. The govern ment revenues he stated at $3S0, ,000, ,000, of which $220, 1000, 900 is derived from du- ties on goods imported into the country and $l25, 1000, ,000 from whiskey, tobacco, oleomargarine, etc., made at home. The question was whether to take the tax from the imports or from the home whis- key and he illustrated the Democratic preference for the former course by the tax of $2,500,0O0 on wools imported to make carpets, claiming that it increased the price of carpets by so much. Judge of Probate w. J. Beecher, the secretary of the association and of the meeting, es- pied Hon Simeon E. Baldwin of New Haven, in the audience and Mir Baldwin was invited to the platform and address ed the meeting. He was mugwump in the last presidential campaign and now declares himself Cleveland Democrat on the tariff issue.
