ivnwslrnirs.‘
-——The Vermont election shows a real
Union gain since last year, for though the
vote is very much smaller, the Union major-
ity is already 18,000 against 18,977 last year,
and in the Legislature, 208 towns being heard
from, 193 Unionists and 12 Democratic mem-
bers are chosen against 193 Unionists and 15
Democrats last year. Three towns have this
year made no choice as yet.
—The Maine election more than justifies
the manly'course pursued by the Union par-
ty in convention. Its platform was outspo-
ken aud frank upon the vital question of the
time, and it appears that though the aggre-
gate vote is much smaller than that of last
year, political excitement being much abated
the Union majority will be considerably in-
creased, and the number of Democrats in the
Legislature diminished.
' —The result of the election in Kentucky
was the choice of four emancipation congress-
men and five pro-slavery; the aggregate vote
for them being 54,008 and 57,502. The vote
for Neale, emancipation, state treasurer was
42,082, for Gerrard, pro-slavery 42187. The
senate is 19 emancipation to 19 pro slavery.
The house 42 emancipation to 57 pro-slavery.
The tie in the senate will prevent the elect-
ion of a senator in place of Garret Davis.
—The Massachusettsetts Republican
State Convention met at Worcester, Thurs-
wention was largely attended, Col. Alexan-
der H. Bullock was hnanimously nominated
for Governor, and Hon. William Claflin
for Lieut. Governor.
Nearly all the forts around ' Washing-
ton are to be dismantled this fall, and the
troops in that department are to be reduced
to 6,000 or less.
The other day, a lady was examining
the fine shawls and cloaks .upon the life
size frames in a store in Hartford, and finally
found a silk cloak that pleased her very
much, and she raised it up, examined it
carefully and freely, and was at the conclu-
sion very much astonished to find that she
had been making free with the dress ofa la-
dy customer who very quietly stood as still
as a stay figurehtill all the trimmings of her
dress had been well evamiued.
——A curious protest against capital punish-
ment has just been offered at Palermo. At
a recent execution the space in front of the
scaffold was almost deserted. Men who
would ordinarialiy have passed that way
went by another and circuitous route, and
the few persons who happened to be present
turned away their heads as the guillotine
fell.
A letter from Parkersburg, West Vir.
ginia. September 5, says the great well at
Burning Springs was the scene of a great
and destructive fire the night previous, and
oil, estimated at 2500 barrels, and worth at
present valuation not less than $15,000, was
burned. The fire occurred through the
carelessness of an employee at the well, who
upset a lamp near one of the tanks, setting
fire to it. The well was producing 700 bar-
rels per day. - .
—Thc Union men of New Jersey are
working with energy, determined that their
candidate for governor shall be elected and
constitutional amendment be passed by the
new legislature. The campaign is fairly
opened and the issues clearly drawn.
——-Ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown of Geor-
gia, has been pardoned‘ by the President.
Dr. Jacques, the Bridgeport doctor of
bad notoriety in the case of the death of the
unfortunate Miss Leland, has the “cheek” to
re-appear from his hiding place and resume
his business in Bridgeport, which he has ap-
parently done without molestion.
—Col. Brayton Ives, 1st Conn. cavalry,was
thrown from a wagon in New Haven, Wed-
nesday, and slightly cut in the forehead.—
ins horse ran and threw him out against a
ence.
H. M. S. Urgent passed over the lo-
cality where the Great Eastern left the bouys
of the Atlantic cable, but could find nothing
of them. The conclusion is that they have
parted and gone adrift.
Capt. Grifin, commander of the post
at Andersonville, who has just arrived in
Washington, says that the bodies of our dead
soldiers can be disinterred after the hit of
'November.
—Advices from Raleigh, N. 0. note the
fact that while crowds of women and many
men besiege the commissariut there for ra-
tions, and the chivalry with all their land,
and crops, are still vocif‘erously and shame-
lessly begging bread from the United States,
there are no colored people whatever who receive
rations there. The “lazy, sliiftless, improvi-
dent" blacks either contrive'to live without
eating or find a way to provide for themselves.
The issiue of rations to whites isto be discon-
tinued on the 12th inst.
—There are eight regular female physi-
cians in Philadelphia—all of whom are in
good practice—and one of them js so over-
whelmed with business that she keeps three
horses in constant use.
—The statementof the Mobile Advertiser
that nine hundred negroes had held a meet-
ing in that city and decided to go back to sla-
very is denied by the other papers there.
No such meeting has been held.
-——The census of 1860 represents 33 book-
binding establishments in the New England
States in that year, with an invested capiial
of $112,750 ; employing 219 male and 398
female hands; paying for mateiial, $236,692,
for labor, $149,732, and products annually to
the amount of $494,765.
———An English paper says that the quanti-
ty of coal annually raised in Great Britain is
rapidly approaching the enormous amount
of 100,000,00 tons. According to the last re
turn of the inspectors of coal mines, the quan-
tity raised in the year 1864 was 95,122,919
tons. It adds that this quantity exceeds the
productions of all the world besides except-
ing perhaps China.
—Onc of the Rochester, N. Y. Fox girls
(the rapper) claims that Dr. Kane, the Arctic
explorer, secretly married her before his
death and left her $5,000. His relutivos
haven’t paid her anything, and she is about
to publish a memoir of her late husband and
vindicate her claims.
——The Bridgeport people are having a sea.-
side park built, and they hope when it is
completed, and a commodious hotel built,
to make their city a famous watering place.
Bridgeport has also a horse railroad in pro.
grass, and talks of having one terminus at
that same sea-side park.
——Conuecticut has furnished three Presi-
dents pro tem of the United States Senate.
Uriah Tracy, born in Franklin, 1755, died in
1807 ; James Hillhouse, born in Montville,
1754, died at New Haven in 1843; and Hon.
L. F. 8. Foster, of Norwich, also born in
Franklin.
-—The Connecticut directors of the Na—
tional Association of wool manufacturers
are Homer Blanchard, Hartford; J. Con—
verse, Stafford Springs; R. Sexton, Ware—
house Point; George Kellogg. Rockville ;
Geo. Roberts, Hartford. On the committee
are S. D. W. Harris, Rockville; N. Kings-
bury, Hartford; andJ. S. Robinson, Rock-
ville. Connecticut reports fifty~six mills,
which use 11,684,500 pounds of wool.

ure on the first Monday of Octob The
State Central Committee has pub” a
noble appeal to the Party in behalf o .the
Amendment, and it is time, if we wish for
its adoption, that the County, District and
Town Committees should take the matter in
hand. Ballots, properly printed, should be
prepared for every town, and means secured
for bringing every voter to the polls. Re-
publicans may be certain that every active
Copperheadwill be there to vote down the
Amendment. If a full vote is bad, on‘our’
tr
side, the result is certain. The loyal people ‘
of Connecticut are willing to allow impartial
suffrage. The Amendment simply provides 5
that every adult citizen, who can read, may
be an elector, without interpolating the word‘
“white” before the word “citizen.” It makes
no other change. If the Amendment is do:
every Copperhead and Rebel den in the
United States. Let us see to it that the op-
portunity for the enemies of the Republic
to exult shall not be given.
.‘.-.
Keep Cool.
There are many thousands of voting citi—.
zens to whom the above sentcntious advice
is applicable in the present situation of pub:
lic affairs. These good people cannot wait
for a calm sea, long enough for the waters
to subside after the terrible storm which has
passed over us. They see parties at the
North thrown into confusion, Democratic
Conventions landing the policy of a Repub-
lican President, and Republican newspapers.
halting and stumbling at that policy, they.
see both parties taking different political
ground in the different States, while at the
South, society, everywhere, at this distance,
seems thrown into confusion.
one day, of contemplated negro insurrec-
tions, and the next of wholesale massacre of
negroes by their former masters; cf con-
flicts between the civil and military juris-
dictions in the lately revolted states, of wide-
spread distress, in some sections and whole
populations feeding on government supplies,
of the bands of Law all loosened, and in-.
dustrial energies all prostrated, and they say,
impatiently, “what is to be the end of all
this ‘2" .v
Now to such we say, be patient and hope-
ful, and wait: You can
shall be evoked from the of civil war
in a few brief months. Trust the Adminis-
tration. For weal or we, the actual govern-
ment is in its hands for almost four years to
come. The President and his advisers have
every m not conscientiously, and
none to deliberately. They. are
not to b d from their duty by the.
hypocritical farming of their worst enemies.
Rely upon it they understand the real value
of the professions of Democratic Coventions
as well as you do. Rely upon it, moreover,
that they see further than you can. Your
horizon is necessarily limited. Theirs takes
in the whole Republic. Be not troubled at
the surface bubbling .at the South. The great
mass of society are going quietly back to in-
dustrial pursuits, with better prospects than
ever before. That there should be collisions
and sparks struck out, here and there, was
to be expected, but we affirm that there is no
instance in history, where at the termination
of civil convulsions, society settled so rapid-
ly as is now being done in the late theatre of
rebellion. You doubt the expediency of
leaving certain matters to be settled by the
States rather than by the General Govern-
ment. Perhaps you are wrong, but if you
are right, is it not better to render all the aid
you can, in the mode of settlement adopted,
while it remains the policy of government}
Remember that a great change for the bet;
ter has come over the South at all events.—
The worst incidents of slavery are at an end
forever. Men and women will never be sold
again in the United States. Men, women
and children will never be forbidden to read
again. They will never be deprived the
right of acquiring property again. They
will never be excluded from the marriage
tie, and the family union again. The Press
is unfettered from the Potomac to the Gulf.
Speechis free throughout the same wide re-
gion. Truth for the first time, has a fair
field in the conflict with falsehood; shall it
not prevail ?
Then, there are conservative men, as they
are called, who are in trouble too. They are
out of patience with the impatience of the
Radicals as they term them. They find it
hard to pull in harness with them, and are.
half inclined 1.0 back or stand still; But
what good will that do ? These Radicals,
after all, hOWever much in your view, they
may be in error, as to means, have noble
aims. Liberty, justice, equal rights for all,—
thcse are the objects they seek to attain, and,
when you are calm, you will acknowledge
that they are conscientious about it. Indeed,
you wish in your way, to attain the same
things. Be patient, then, one with another,
keep a firm face, and closed ranks to the
common enemy, and, rely upon it, the results

A Suggestion.
Why do the American people prefer a Re-
publican government to a monarchy ? Be-
cause in the former the masses of mankind
have their rights and interests entrusted to
their own keeping. Experience has shown
that in monarchies and aristocracies, the 'la-
boring classes, who always make up the
bulk of communities, are oppressed, because
they have no voice in the government. The
theory of a Republican government is, that
Law shall originate in popular consent, to
be given at the ballot-box, in the choice of
legislators and magistrates. Of course, just
so far as any class of men is excluded from
the ballot, by a distinction, at once arbitrary
and ineradcable, society ceases to be'Repub-
lican and tends towards Aristocracy. It is
just as un-republican to say that no man
with black eyes shall vote as it is to say that
no man with a black skin shall vote, and
more so. Put the black eyes and the blue
eyes on the same footing and the objection
eyes or blue eyes shall vote till they can
read, you are at least, impartial; but if you
say that blue eyes that can read shall vote,
but black eyes shall not vote at all, whether
they can read or not, then you depart from“
the fundamental principle of Republican
government, besides being partial and un-
that can read, shall be treated alike at the
ballot-box. ‘

The County Fair Horse Show
The County Fair promises to give our
citizens a fine show of Horses and speed,
very much excelling any of its predecessors.
The citizens have made up a citizens purse of
$200 to be contested for by all the speedy
horses, and so liberal a purse will not fail to
draw out all the speed in the County. ‘ Still
another purse of $100 is being raised, so that
all the Trotters can have a show. “May the
best Horse win.” We look and expect to see
more than the general good order on the
grounds during the competition for vspeed.
Vehicles should be kept off the track entire-
ly while the preparations and trial are in
progress; and we trust the Managers will
give our citizens an orderly and well-regula-
ted exhibition.

WOur Ridgefield friends always do well
in competition with themselves,at their own
exhibitions, but why can they not enter a
wider arena and compete with the neighbor-
ing towns at the County Fair. They cer-
tainly'hav'e the ability to make a creditable
display, and we trust they'w'ill not confine
themselves entirely at home this season.

mil Revenue Law,) but e are fully
satisfied of its justice.
MESSRS. Em'rons:
The Springfield Republican of the 9th inst,
in an editorial review of a book entitled
“Internal Revenue Guide,” does great injus.
flee to a particularly “well abused," class
of government officers. The closing sen-
tence of the article is as follows.
l'Dtmore direct value t ‘ rs of the
revenue, it will be found to every
tax-payer, explaining full his duties
to the government, and protecting him
against’the imperfect knowledge, or errone-
ous judgment of assistant assessors.”
Now is it not a fair, in fact, a natural de-
duction‘from'the above, that the assistant
assessors are ordinarily, if not altogether, of
' “imperfect knowledge” and “erroneous judg-
ment,” in relation to which, permit me to
say, that a careful, critical observation of the
Internal Revenue Law, from its inception to
the present time,,in several districts, not'on-
1y .of this, but also of other States, supported
by a comparison of views with prominent
manufacturers from five other States,will jus
my me in saying, (notwithstanding. occasion-
al conflicts. of opinion with them,) that these
officers have a most difficult and disagreea-
ble duty to perform, requiring keen discrimi-
nation, and in many - eases. great independ-
ence and decision of character, this being so,
it is'really"surprisiug, that so many of them
should have discharged their onerous duties
so acceptably to the people-and yet so faith-
fully to the government. I will avail my-
self of thisiopportunity to add, that it is my
impression" that no other government offi-
cers are so poorly remunerated for services
rendered, as are the assistant assessors. This
could be readily demonstrated (as you Messrs.
Editors well know) from our own district,
this matter however, I will leave to th econ-
sideration. of the “Board 'of Commissioners
of the Revenues of the United States,” mere-
ly adding, that the article alluded to is only
too well calculated to “ beget doubt, where
doubt is dangerous” to the interests of the
government, and is, at the same time doing
great injury to a worthy body of officers.

Q
What a Pity.
Many of our readers will doubtless be sur-
prised, and some shocked to learn that the
“waterfall,” that of late universal appendage
to the back of young, middle aged and En-
certain aged, female heads, has in of a sud-
den _become unfashiouable; but such is the
fickleness of fashion, and we shall soon in
vain look for those huge bags of doubtful
contents, that have of late adorned and bean-
tified the heads, necks, and even backs, of
woman-kind. If any are disposed to doubt
the fact that the waterfall in the fashionable
world, is doomed, we would refer them to
the latest lesmodcspdrfisiennes, and to a re-
cently published. letter from Saratoga, in
which the writer who is aufait in such mat-
ters says, ' you would as much expect to find
a cataract in the eye of a fashionable lady,
'as a waterfall on her head.” Again we say
what a pity l

Mr. Lohr has few if any superiors in the line
of fine cabinet work, is moreover a man of
entire honesty and faithfulness, and his
charges are more reasonable than those of
any similar house with which we are ac-
quainted. We can confidently commend
our readers to give him a call, knowing they

The County Fair.
The Norwalk Gazette says that Danbury
was slimly represented at the last County
Fair, and wishes to be ratified this year
with at least one case of ate and a bushel
of Beans. We hope there is no slur intend-
ed in the last article. The trouble with our
people is not a lack of astonishing products
to exhibit, but in an 'overplus or modesty,
which prevents them from more frequently
electrifying the world than they do, and as
“they are more capable of doing. We have
got the men and means to help out your
Fair nicely, and to carry all more premiums
thanyou can shakca stick at, and we sin-
cerely hope that the men and means will
remember their destiny.
The Fair opens on the 26th inst. and we
advise our Manufacturers and Farmers to
hurry up with their medal producers.

What is right, friend Manton, stir up
the people and not allow their modesty to
get the better of them. The society offers a
great many premiums, and you are welcome
to them all, if you will only bring on your

Horrible.
Wednesday morning, as the two o‘clock
train was passing between Westport and
Norwalk, a crazy Catholic priest by the name
of Philip Hammel, from Newburyport, Mass.
took out a razor and cut a terrible gash across
his'throat. He dropped the razor and
changed his seat, when Conductor Franklin
picked it up and put it out of his reach. He
then tried to use his knife in the same way,
but was prevented. When the train arrived
at Norwalk, he kicked out one of the win-
dows and jumped out head-foremost, but
struck on his/feet. Nearly half an hour was
spent in endeavoring to secure him, as he
kept running around and throwing stones
at his pursuers. He was finally secured, and
after a fierceLStruggle his legs were bound,
and he was held by four men until the train
arrived in New York, when he was taken to
Bellevue Hospital. Yesterday morning he
was considered sane, but the physicians
thought he could not recover on account of
the great loss of blood. The man is about
thirty years of age—Courier.

priest who, while laboring uner an insane
