Supplement.
Owingto the press of advertisements we
have lately been unable to .give as much
readinssmw as usual. and to stake “.9 in
part we ‘toiday present our readers with a
supplement of 16 columns, containing much
important and interesting matter.
.‘on ‘
Gov. Hurley’s Message.
We commend .the Message to the careful
and .considegate attention of our readers. It,
are» and lid his point. Thentterance of“
an earnest, thorough and practical mam.
whose pinion-n is not a matter of words.
" I . ‘ O
The Senator-ships .
The question of U. 8. Senator, has’resolv.
ed itself to the triangular issue between the
friends of Gen. Falter, Gov. Buckingham
and Mr. Foster. Those in favor of the two
former, comprise an admitted majority of
the Union members of the Legislature. This
footie no perennial disparagement to Senator
Foster. He has filled the usual term of
twelve years, and there being nothing of an
unntuslch’sracter to make" a' break in the
established usage especially desirable, the
feeling is'rapldly pervading the peoplp of the
State sad: the members of the Legislature,
that the distinguished honor so long confer-
ed ’UpOn'JMr. Fester should be assigned to
another." If'thefre is anythingat all in par-
ty organisation, this principle _must be car-
ried out in practice. Lahorious service, ‘per-
sonal- sacrifices? zealous efiortsfor the success
of our" Cause, should be stimulated by the
'attainment, on all proper occasions, of the
command of the party. - If one man, or any
set ofmen are to be=in the exclusive control
or enjoyment ‘Of thé party’s honors, there
would he an end ’ of ’ all organized action
and power. -
We have in these columns, carefully avoid-
ed “a_ny-_disparsglng criticisms of any one.
Wo‘earnes'tly advocate the election of Gen.
Ferry, because we believe the peeple of this
Connt'y'sre justly entitled to the honor. We
sincerely believe; that his election will best
subierv‘e the political and general interests
of the State and nation. We rejoice to know
that thi‘shpinion is endorsed by the unam-
mill judgment of the Union members from
' Falrfield County. The First District has its
Senator, the _ Second has had its honored
and now lamented Representative, the Third
Districtnow' closes its Twelnh year,s service
in that body, while Fairfield County, rival-
ling the other counties in political and con»
mornifljinterests, has not had a Senator for
ma Quarter of a century I'
In personal ability and persorial deserving,
General ‘Ferry stands preeminent. among
the foremost citizens of Connecticut. In our
Supplement we give a brief syno sis ‘ of his
last Speech in Congress, to show is consist-
ent,‘ patriotic, liberty-loving record. For fif-
teen years past no senator or Representative
in COngress has done half the mental or
physical labor in travelling, writing, and
~spdking, throughout-this State in every po-
litical-Canvasa' And for ability, there is not
,an intelligent man in Connecticut who does
not knots‘Gen. Ferry to be the peer of "the
ablest statesman and orators in the land. It
is but a single week ago 10-day, that a lead-
ing New England Senator, who personally
knew Gen. Ferry, remarked in Our presence
that “in ability, he stood head and shoulders
shore three-fourths of the present senate,"
and another distinguished senator present
endorsed this favorable j ud'gmen t.
On the scOre of equality and good comity,
we claim the selection for Fairfield County.
On the score of personal ability to serve the
cause, the State and the nation,'w'e claim to
present the foremost son of. Connecticut.
Confident that these claims must be every-
where confessed, we leave this most grave
and important matter to the enlightened
judgment of the people's Representatives
for ‘ultimate decision.

315A citizen was fined $15 at the City
~ Conny-New. Haven, last week, for refusing
to aid tile firemen at the clock shop fire,

If these laws were enforced here a few
times, perhaps our firemen could obtain some
assistance at fires occasionally. At present,
able bodied men stand looking on. with their
hands in their p ockets and blame the over-
worked iiremen for not aecOmplishing more.

The Conn. Natlonal Guard.
While the importance of maintaining at
all times an effective State military organi-
zation has nevcrbeen seriously denied, leg-
islative efforts for that purpose, in this and
other States, have in general resulted in
failure.
Every State undoubtedly been right to
the military service of those of its citizens
who are able to perform such service, but
the practical ass‘ertion of the Claim, so as to
produceand maintain an efficient military
force in time of peace, has not been generally
successful in this country". The result of an
indiscriminating‘ application of 'the princi-
ple was shown in the general trainings at
which, in former years, our citizens annually
squared up their military account with the
State, and which, though delightful IO‘ look-
9MB. and profitable to peddlers of beer and
burlesque, an interest whiéh demanded a
. clear appreciation by its citizens and legible-
LOIS.
to devote the time and attention to drill
necessary to fit them for the prompt and ef-
ficient performance of that duty, would be'
unnecessary and therefore unjust, and, more-
over impracticable; for whatever may he,
done under the sharp discipline of actual ser-
vice in time of war, or whatever ofthe kind
may be accomplished under forms Of gov-
ernment different from our own, in this
country no militia system can succeed which
is based simply upon compulsory personal
Service. If, in avoiding this extreme, it
were left entirely optional with each, citi-
zen, whether to perform his military duty
or not, though the patriotism of our people
is large, yet, without the stimilus of actual
corporals guard throughoutthe State.
The problem therefore for our legislators
has been to make that adjustment between
the influences of compulswn and persuasion,
which would secureaweil-tralned and in-'
slautly available force, without imposing
for complaint, and without calling upon the
State ’to 'pay for that service to which it was
justly entitled without payment. This, we
think, hasbeen effected by the present Mili-
Its logic is that
those who owe military duty to the State
to induce others to perform it for them. The
State does not need the service of all who
are liable, yet as the burden should be equal-
ized as far as possible upon all, it requires
those who desire to avoid perional service,
and whose services are not acttially needed,
to pay the neéessary expenses of those who
are willing to serve, and who must be arm-
ed,equipped,uniformcd and drilled ready for
service whenever called _upon'—an arrange-
ment eminently just and satisfactory, which
has given us, in place of the few small com-
panies which pr’eviously constituted our ac-
tive miltia, the present Connecticut N ational
Guard, an organization which is already an
honor to the State.
1 One object of these remarks is to call the
attention of our young men to the liberal
provisions of the law as to compensatiOn.
Uniforms, arms, equipments, Armories, etc,
are furnished without expense to the mem-
b-ers, $2.30 is paid directly for. each day’s
sorvice required by the law, while exemption
from poll and commutation taxes (which ex-
emption continues after the expiration of
the term of service) brings up the actual pay
for each day’s service to about $4 00., The
inducements, it will thus be seen, are much
more liberal than are offered in any other
State for similar service; and if properly
,brought to the notice of our returned veter-
ans and young men generally, should imme-
diately fill up the ranks of the Conn. Nation-
al Guardto its maximum strength of 6,000
men:

BIBLE HOUSE, Aaron PLACE, N. Y.—In the early
part of February, 1865, I was sufi‘ering from a violent
cough, for which I had been treated during six
months proviously without benefit. I had Night-
Sweals which completely prcstrated me. In the
evening. boarseness would come on, which would
prevent me from speaking above a whisper. I had
then had two attacks of homorrhage from the lungs-
hiy Family Physician assured me that he could do
no more for me, yet I was growing rapidly worse.
and had been compelled to leave business for nearly
two months. All my symptoms indicated, unmis- ‘
tnkably, the presence of CONSUMPI‘IOM. In the
beginning of February, Mr, HENRY Flsnnn, Treasu-
rer of the American Bible Society, presented In“
with a bottle of the PBEPARED PRESCRIPTION.
In a few days, my appetite (which I had entirely
losl,) returned; within a week my cough had 311308“
left me ; and in less than two weeks} the Night
Sweaty were broken up. Thenceforwllrd I regained
strength rapidly, and am now regularly attending to
my duties as clerk to the AMERICAN BIBLE SOCI-
ety, in whose'employmcllt I have been nine years,
lam now enjoying good health. Your PRESCRIP-
TION effected a CURE, when my friends despaired
of my recovery. THOS. J. CONGER.
“I have had NERVOUS or SPASMODIC ASTHMA for
eleven years. Dltriugthe last six years Illave new
er had an uninterrupted night‘s rest. It. often seem-
ed to me that I should die before 1 could air into my
lungs. 1 was huggured and spiritlcss. and suffered
so greatly from ‘ehol‘luens of brulith,‘ that I was
compelled to lake frequent rests in walking t‘rom m y
residence to my plnce‘of business.
"The night before I‘ Obtained the ‘PREPARED
PRESCRIPTION, was the worst 1 ever passed. Ou
obtaining the remedy I took a teaspoonlul ill. noon
and again at night, and slept all night without wak-
