Cattcll,tii the Vultcrt State Scnittt, December 1S 1B06. . ' ' ' ', Hon. r. W. Fr itcEnuyun laving al U'.'l H.e Bciiatf, and taken Ms scat, Hon. A. G. Cat til obtained the floor, and "aid: Mr. President, I om painfully oppress-''! with tbe reflection that the lift wor.ls whi.Ti it eeirna my duty to utter In thin Chamber muft ke words of sad noss, bhcii its are bPtlttintf the announcement just made by my colleague, thnt death baa Benin invaded tli. Senatorial circle. You have listened to the otlirinl announce ment that Senator William Wright, ol -New Jersey, i no more. He closed a lonir. active, and honorable life on the 1st day of November Jftft, in hi own homp. In the city of Newark, where he had lived for nearly half a century nirrouudprt by his lamlly and Iricnls, rainii tered to in his last hour by those he loved beet on earth, and sustained in his pasiairo through "the (ink valley" by tbe consolations cf the Christian's num. ,(.h hn hns iicrora la mi tne rni'iiy wwu .. f aid. h.ive done eo much to develop the resources kuU promote the prosperity of our great coun try. He was a self-made man, the architect of bis own fortune, and throughout a lomr business life, in which he accumula'ed his large fortune, be exhibited the leading trait9 ol a true mer chant, intelllpence and integrity, combined with industry nnd energy. He whs also a man of political distinction. New Jersey, the Slate ot his adoption, honored him with the liiirhest poi-ition-i within her rift, navinu twice elected him to a .-eat in this body, and I can bear testimony to his fidelity to the principles and measures of the political P'trty which juvested him with official power. 1 had i!ot the houor to serve with him in the Senate, but I am sure he brought to the discli irire of his duties there, a sound and discriminating ulnd, with a store of valuable information in regard to the tra Je and commerce and manu factures ot tbe nation which could not be otlier wiae than uelnl and important to the Sen ite and the nation in the position he for wm years occupied of cliairmau ot the Senate CommHtcii n Manufactures. I am aware that during his loner senatorial career he never ventured to enter the arena ot debate In this Chamber. 1 am not surprised at this. Mr. Wright was naturally a modet man, a virtue not so common in these latter days as to be altogether despised. lie made no claims to facility in the forms of speech. Merchants and men of business arc seldom men of many words. They are usually men of actions, of deeds. They write their thoughts in the endur ing moiiuments of great enterprises which mark "a nation's proeres in her onward march to a higher civilization. The active, earnest, stirriua; life of a business man, with its engrossing CBres and manliold annieties, especially in tiiis country where the brain is always ruu to its maximum capacity, affords no time to cultivate the Howere of motoric r the graces of elocution. If you would have facility in th forms of speech, readiness and efficiency in debate, with the pofferof eloquence and the graces of oratory, "The applause of list'ning senates to command." you must look for those high attiinments in the learned protessious to which the scholars and men ot culture of our laud so naturally gravitate. Bat if you would originate "enterprises of great pith and moment," if you would open up inter course with lar distant lands, with Ethiopia aud the islands of the sea, and widen the boundaiies of your Christian civilization, you must then look to the men of action, the men who control your trade and commerce and send their white winged messengers into every sea under the heaven, carrying the Bible and the missionary to the uttermost parts of the earth. Nay, more, if you would put a girdle about the wvih, nWut . v. or n Wv rtnUln lightning as t'uo'courler of your thoughts and, wishes through "the dark untalhomed eaves of ocean" from continent to continent in the twinkling of an eye, you must call from the countlng-rcom the indomitable will, the sleep ier enerey, and the sublime faith ol an Ameri can merchant to perform the service. If, then, the lact be admitted that my late colleague hesitated to eugatte iu the discussions of this auirust body, let it be remembered that his busy life afforded neither time nor oppor tunity lor training in thisdiiectioo. He studied men. rather than book9; and, 1 am sure, arkno .v ledgiug the value even in this Chamber of such knowledge as he po-sessed, you will appieei ite the modesty, and approve rather than condemn the motives which impelled him, lu such a pre sence as this, to remain ti1?nt. That Mr. Wright was a kind hearted, courte ous gentleman, scrupulously regardful of all the proprieties of domestic, Kioial. and public life, the Senate and all who knew him will bear testimony. His private character was, I believe, without a stain. He enjoyed the respect and confidence ot the people with whom he lived so long; aud occupied a prominent place in tin) biHuess community in which he moved. He lived to a good old age, huvlnn passed the allot ted years of threescore and ten, and now "lie rests' trorn his labors." "And here, perhaps, having paid my tribute of yespect to my departed colleague, I should pause. .But the Senate will indulge nie in a single re flection. Four times during the current year ihe aueel ot death has thrown its shallow over this Hall. Collanier uud Foot, and Laue aud Wribt have fallen at .ilwir post of dutv. And s-hull we not draw Irom these Ics'om, following each other iu such rapi I succession, fresh admo nitions that ve,too, aru niortnl; that senatorial robes nre as vulnerable to the shafts of d:itli as the tattered gaiments of tlie lowliest poverty? And gathering instruct ion and wi-clom from these solemn events remembering that life is fdiort and duty prei-smg. "And our benrts. though stout and brave, Still like inulllod drams are beating i' uueral marches to the grave," shall we not draw therefrom fresh motives for renewed activity and zeal in the performance of the giave Untie that lie before us, and iu viow not only of the brevity of human life, but aUo ot the nucertain'tenure by which it is held, bs led to adopt the invocation of the Psalmist, "So teach iiB to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom r" An Unpubllalicd Letter from Cieutiul ValiluKtou Inlerextlug Political Illatory, The following letter from Ceur-ral Washington, says the incinnatl inquirer, has never beeu published. It contains ome interosting items of political hit-tory, bearing upon tho udoprioii of the prceut Constitution of the United Mniugj It was written shortly after the adjournment of tbe Convention which framed that instrument, and bctore it was ratified by tbe several State. It is noticeable from the lact that General Washington believed that Patrick Henry would not be tiiendly to the Constitution, because "it was an etlectual bar asaiust the emission of paper-money," Henry being a paper-money man. , . copr.

To alarm the iwople seems to be the ground-work of his plan. :he want of a qualified navigation act Is already declared to be the means bv which the produce ot the Soul hern States will be reduced to nothing, and will become a monopoly of the Northern and Eastern States. To enumerate all his objections is unnecessary, because they are detailed in the address of tho seceding members of the Assembly of I'eniisyvlania, which no doubt you have seen. 1 scarcely think that any powerful opposition will be made to the Constitu tion being submitted to a convention of tho people ot this state. If it is given, it will beat that meeting, in which, I hope, you will make it convenient to attend. Explanations will bo wanting. Nona can give them with more pre cision and accuiacy than yourself. The senti ments of Mr. Henry, with respect to the Consti tution which is submitted, are not known in these parts. Mr. Joseph Jones (who, it seems, was iu Alexandria a lew days belore my return home) was of opiniou that they would not be iiiimi'al to it; others, however, conceive tha, as the advocate of a paper cml-sion, he cannot be friendly to a Constitution which is an effec tual bnr.

I iucloe you a copy of them. "James Madison, Jr., Esq." A "Congicss" of Fashion. The Paris correspondent ol a London journal save: "The arbiter vlegatuiaruui of Paris is M. Eugene Chapus, of Le sport. M. Chapus tells us thut 'the Directing Committee of the Ilieh World ot Paris' held' a meeting recsutly to de liberate on the reform of certain social rela tions. The committee came to the conclusion that a gentleman or lady at table may or may not, as he orshe pleases, follow the old customs ot breaking on the plate the shell ol the egg that has been eaten of not pouring coffee into the saucer, however it may be of breaking, not cutting, bread and ot not eating or drinking the w hole ot what is served but that he or she must not, under pain of social ostra cism, 'allow the fork to travel irom one hard to the other. The fork,' adds M. Chapus, 'must be kept invariably iu the left hand, and the knife iu the riaht, without permitting them on any pretense to rook, as is done with certain pieces on the chess-board.' Your readers will see that this is in aecoidauce with the Knglish rule, though I believe the English table code, more merciful, does not punish a man witn death lor taking his fork iu his right hand. But it must greatly embarrass the bulk of the French people, whose rule it is to cut thotr food into biia, nl iben cHi ry it to I be mouth by the ioik in that hand, it must still more embarrass the Cermans, who, in the conveyance of their aliments, use the knife, or the knife and fork combined. However, the Diieetisg Committee knows best what is good for us, and we must obey its maudutes without murmuring. "Another cuotom which it has had under con sideration is taking ladies Irom dinner. It pro bounces against the present practice ot awarding a particular lady to a particular gentleman, or of live or six gentlemen competing for the arm of one lady. 'Each lady,' is its decree, as recorded by M. Chapus, is'hcuceloith to choose her cavalier herself. But the best thing would be to abstain completely troni enchaining together two per sons who are oftou aratisers one to another, and from forming a ridiculous procession. Besides, irom the manner in which ladies dress nowa days, they can display more entce iu walking isolatedly !'' 'Amen!' will be the response to that decree from every unfortunate dame or w iht who has had the misfortune and who unknot ? to be coupled at table with a being antipathetic to him or her and bv every mail whose legs liave been hurt in collisions with ui noline." The Origin of Friction Matches In 18J2, a man by the name of Fbillips, living in Oakland, Manchester, Connecticut, invented and patented a match that would ignite by friction. He made them upon a small scale, as his means were Hunted; put them in tin boxes of oue hundred each, and sold them to the inhabitants about, carrying them In a pocket handkerchief. Many persons still recollect the tear aud consternation in the minds of the people at that time, lest their houses and barns would be burned by the hand of the incendiary; and many thought that he should be restrained from scattering his tire biaudsintbe community. Phillips afterwards removed to Springfield, Massachuetts, where he formed a copaituership with a man by the name of Chupln, under the title of "Cuaptu Si Phil lips," when they laraely increased the produc tion ot matches. The first matches were made and dipped singly by baud; afterward Phiilios inven ed the card matches. Such, in brief, is the early history of this little article that is now considered au indispensable necessity. There mii6t be many persons now living in Hartford who will recollect the red wairon, paiuted in large letters upou the side, "Friction Matches," as it passed through the streets, drawn nv one horse.
