 Reach Plainville,s Business Men.

Reach Plainville's Business Men.
 WATERBURY, Feb. 13.-Rev. W. E. Johnson of Plainville has for some time been troubled by the fact that many in that peaceful vil- lage, particularly business men, found other places than the churches more attractive on Sundays. He talked and talked from his pulpit about it as so many clergymen have done before him without avail.
 Then he hit upon a scheme that has cer- tainly had the effect to set all the town talk ing. He sent out invitations to the business men to meet with him on Sunday evening in George L. Newton's dry goods store. About a dozen responded. He gave them permis- sion to smoke. all they pleased, to which one of them replied that he need not be jealous, as his turn would come later. It was well known that he does not consider good cigar incompatible with good religion. The plan met with such favor that next Sunday a larger house is expected and the clergyman expects to reach many whom he could reach no other way.

Boston Capitalists Buy ap she Village
 Corporation Bonds and VIII Bring
 Suit to Compel Payment.
 PENNINGTON, Maine, Feb. 13.-It is stated that syndicate of Boston capitalists has purchased several thousand dollars of the Pennington village corporation bonds issued several years ago to raise money to extend the railroad from West Pennington to this village, and will at once bring suit in the United States court to compel payment. This case was tried some three years ago in the United States court at Portland and a verdict rendered against the corporation, with the right of appeal to the United States Supreme court. An appeal was taken, but the case was thrown out of court on the ground that the Hon. E. F. Pillsbury of Bos- ton, in whose name the suit was brought, was not bona ide holder of the bonds residing without the State. There is great deal of interest manifested in the suit. The bonds representing some $sO. .00O, were issued some nineteen years ago, bearing interest at six per cent.

 mR. MANSFIELD,s VIEWS. The Consolidation of Town and City.
 NASHVILLE, Ct., Feb. 13, 1889. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 see by this mornings papers that 8 re- monstrance was introduced into our State legislature yesterday against the New Haven city plan of consolidation. AS the scare- crow introduced into all our public meetings in Westville to arouse public prejudice against it has been that it would be attended with an oppressive increase in taxation, I would like to say 8 few words in denial of such a result. Our school, town, police and electric light taxes now amount to fourteen mills. An application has already been
 
 ganize fire department, which would cost some thousands of dollars, which, added to our school debt upon which we pay six per cent. interest, may be very good thing for those holding promise to pay notes against the district if not quite so satisfactory to those who pay the taxes. A few years ago a bill was introduced into our State legislature for permission to organize borough of the Westville school district providing salaries for borough officials, if my memory serves me correctly, from one thousand to fifteen hundred dollars per annum. With an in- crease of two mills for protection against fire and the Lord only knows how much for SUD- port of borough government, how will the con6ding and hoodwinked Westville taxpay- CTS feel then?
 It would be bonanza for few pompous officials, but rather hard on the taxpayers If the bill before the legislature for consoH- dation fails, bill for the organization of 8 borough government will certainly be renew ed. A town tax of five mills and half and a half mill reduction in school taxes, com pared with what we pay now, is certainly better than anything the Westville solons have in reservation for us.

THE RRlDGEwATER SEIZURE.

Correspondence Relative Co she Ssfz- ure of an American Ship is Laid Be-
 fore the Senate-Justice Demanded. WAsHINGToN, Feb. 13.-Ths correspon- dence relative to the seizure of the American
 ship Bridgewster (owned in New York; by
 the authorities of Canada has been laid be- fore the Senate in pursuance to resolution adopted January 23. The first document is letter from W. H. Robertson, U. s. com- mercial agent at Yarmouth, N. S., contain ing the announcement of the seizure at Shell burne for non-psyment of duty on account of the sale of the vessel which had been con- demned on account of damage by storm on the ground that the cost of repairing her would be more than her value. This con- condemnation was resisted by the owners but the sale went on, and it was bid in for Harry W. Allen, and so publicly announced. Repairs were begun on her and continued and paid for by the owner until July 27, when the seizure was made, although de- mand had been made upon any one repre- senting the Bridgewater. Other phases of tine matter as they developed are given in later correspondence, down to January 2S, 1889, when the Canadian government having shown no disposition to settle the case, Sec | retary Bayard wrote to Minister Phelps say | ing: As the case is now presented 8 serious injury has been inflicted upon citizen of l the United States by the authorities of the Dominion of Canada, for which the head of their department of justice has declared no remedy is afforded by their laws. To obviate such an evident ! failure of justice appeal is now made to the plenary power of the government under ! whose jurisdiction and official agency the in- | jury was wrongfully indicted. You are | therefore instructed to bring the case as herein above stated to the attention of her | majesty's government in order that justice | may be rendered to the claimant" And 1 there the matter now stands, save that on | January g an amendment statement of dam 1 ages was filed with the State department by 1 Mary w. Allen claiming $25, ,637.

TIE sMALLs-ELL1oTT CASE.

HoUsE.-The contested election case being resumed MT. Hemphill said he had never seen the Republicans so delighted as when they had the privilege of abusing great sec- tion of the country. AS to the registration law of South Carolina, he desired to say that it had been put in the statute books by the Re publicans, and was a fair and just law. In one district where the 32, 900 colored men were claimed by the Republican party only g were refused registration, and Rou one of them appealed from the decision of the re- gistrar. All thls gabble and talk about the unfair registry law of South Carolina was the merest twaddle and was intended to st- feet results different from those involved in this case. He denied that the election laws of South Carolina were intened las had been asserted) to cheat the Republicans out of their rights. He did not say that they were framed for the purpose of putting Republicans into power. The people of South Carolina believe that white man is as good as negro. They believed that the not believe he should have all his rights and the white mans rights too, and they did not intend that he should have them (applause). The colored people had been full-fedged citi- zens since 1868 and yet in the northern States which had colored vote which could keep the party in or turn 1t out nos single instance had there been of man elected to congress who had a tinge of color in his blood.
 Can you name 8 north State-broke in Mr. Hopkins of Iliuois-where the colored vote is twenty per cent. of the entire vote?
 "Oh," replied MT. Hemphill, s'it comes to this, that unless there are in district enough votes to put in 8 man of color he never gets in. If you want colored men to vote for a white man, and if colored man is as good as a white man, why does not a white man occasionally vote for colored manF' Gaugh- ter.)
 into which entered much party feeling, often causing laughter and applause, the vote was taken on the minority report declaring Smalls entitled to a seat and it was rejected, yeas 126, nays 143, with the exception of Wilson of Minnesota and Russell of Massa. chusetts, who voted with the Republicans.
