CONNECTICUT ELECTION.
LATEST RETURNS—N0 GOVERNOR 0110an—
‘THE nusri on" THE REPUBLICAN 1'1ch
ELECTED.
HARTFORD, April 0.—-The election returns
at The Gourant Oflice, which have been
carefully revised and footed up, show that
English 5 plurality for Governor is only 17.
in these returns 1 e scattering votes are not
given, but there is little doubt that there are
enough .Of them to throw the election into
the Legislature. The ofiicial canvass of the
votes will not be made for two weeks. The
Gourant’s returns also show that all the
other Republican State oficers are elected
by the people, by handsome majorities, as
follows:
Mori'is Tyler, Lieutenant Governor, by
806 majority; Hiram Appelman Seeretary
of State, by250majority ; David . Nichols.
Treasurer. by 339 majority; Jqseph N.
Manning, Controller, by 334 majority. The
complete returns show that there is a Repub-
lican majority of 26 on ‘joint ballot in‘ the
Legislature-5 in the Senate and 21 in the
House. The House stands 130 Republicans
to 109 Democrats.
The very latest returns do not vary'far
from the above and there is no question that
the vote for Governor will go to the Legis-
lature. The democracy of New Haven have.
put themselves in that trap, even, were it
not made necessary by scattering votes, of
which 23 are already known to exist. There
had been no question raised concerning the
correctness of the New Haven vote and yet
the democratic inspectors withdrew the
sealed ballots from the town clerk, upon in»
formation being received that more votes
were needed for English and in direct viola- -
tion of the law, broke open the sealed pack-
ages, uuder a plea of “certifying their pre-
vious count.” The marshall soon put a stop
to the exhilcratiug exercise and the Legisla-
, ture will have to “verify” this audacious
villaiuy. Again, at Cheshire, the demo-
cratic inspector refused to return 53 German
Republican votes, legally given, while in
Enfield there is probability am ting
almost to certainty that one pack f 23
English State tickets were counted twicn
audagaiu in Simsbury, the whole vote was
made illegal by the refusal of the demo-
cratic authorities to appoint more than one
registrar of voters. ‘ 7 ,
It: has become a matter of interesting in-
quiry how it comes abo’ut that Mr. Jewell,
unquestionably the most popular man
among Republicans in the State, is found to
be behind the rest of our State ticket, which
is elected by over two hundred majority.
Various reasons are assigned. We believe
the true ones_to be, a jealous apprehension
on the State Capitol question, and the rival-
ries existing between Hartford and New
Haven, and on the part of a few disaffected
crotchety. Republicans a design to strike
back upon Congress and the administration
over the head of our candidate for Governor,
whom they personally respected and ad-
mired, even beyond any otherca’ndidates on
our ticket. This is the whole truth and in
a nut shell. So far as the moral force of our
grand Republican triumph, is concerned, it
is, not materially weakened by this trifling
tangle on the‘vote for Governor, which a
Republican Legislature will be sure to settle
in our favor, and in accOrdance with the
true and absolute majority of votes cast in
Marshall J ewell’s favor.
'With our Congressional representation
the same as before; our whole State ticket
save the first name, cleanly elected by over -
two hundred majority; the House and
Senate ours by a greatly increased majority
over last year, we can’t see that “the tidal
wave” which swept over New Hampshire
and was promised to eugulph little Connec-
ticut, has so greatly damaged us attér all.
Postscript,
The Fourth Ward of New Haven returns
show an excess of ONE HUNDunD VOTus
for English over the check tally, Represent-
ative ticket and all the rest of the Demo-
cratic ticket. The democratic ticket count-
ers admit the undoubted error. This elects
Jewell by the people, and if so will be veri-
fiedby the. State canvass next week. We
have, Ourselves,been to New Haven, to-day,
(Monday,) and personally examined the
check tally and record of votes, and have"
no doubt that either an honest blunder or.
wilful fraud has been committed.
- B3“ We are told by an intimate friend of
Ex-Seuutor VI oodward, that while his de-
feat was entirely unexpected, his greatest
cause ofbitteruess is the deceptions practiced
upon him by certain Republicans whom he
had pecuniarily assisted with his money and
influence, in various ways, and who had
profi‘ered him their best endeavors to‘secure
his election. We 'are inclined to think that
he, just now in his first moments of chagrin
and disappointment, does injustice to many
worthy men. Last year a great many Re-
publicans feeling that there was no party is-
sue involved, did vote for him on the score
of personal friendship, local regard and gen-
eral “good fellowship.” This year the po-
litical status of things was greatly altered,
and no true Republican who cherished his
political principles above any and every sel-
fish consideration, could yield his vote to
any social'blandishmeuts, Or pecuniary con-
sideration. It was with full appreciation 01
these facts, that we, before Mr. Woodward
was nominated, uttered, with the sincerest
good will to him, as a liberal, public-spirited,
fellow-towusmau, the following prophetic
warning: '
“Mr. Woodward’s organ announces “posi-
tively” that he will not he a candidate for
Senator this year. We know it has come
to be a fashion for candidates to decline just
before a nomination,but in this case we are
inclined to believe it sincere. We learn that
Mr. Woodward is quite likely to succeed the
deceased Mr. Watson as County Auditor in
New York. We certainly trust that such is
to be the case, for he would make a much
better officer than most any one at all likely
to get it. But in other respects we are sure
that his conclusions are wise and well taken.
He has already enjoyed all the honor that
can attach to being elected a State Senator,
and then his vote last year evinced an 'uu-.
usual degree of personal popularity which
could not be expected to be enjoyed to any
thing like the same extent this year. Of the
“past he is sure, Of the future uncertain, and
whether he is to be County Auditor of New
York Or not, he cap and will, uudOubtedly,
find his greatest personal enjoyment in
using his great wealth for the improvement
ofhis large possessions hereabouts and thus
entitling hiiuself'to the just attribute of be-
ing a foremost citizen iu‘all matters of local
advancement, liberality and enterprise.” .
' That he now wishes thathe hadinflexibly
adhered to his former resolve, we do not
doubt, but then .we cannot see that he has
anyone but himself to blame.
[3' We regret to learn that another old
resident ofthe “Down Town ” district has

to all o'ur'oldei- residents as a successful far-
mer and respected citizen, died on Saturday

OUR WATER VOICES.
The Water Commissioners'f have been
busily occupied throughout the winter in
digesting plans and ‘-adjustiug'-' deta'ls as.
carefully and. maturely as it were possible
to do, and nowthat spring hasopened,‘ they
are in readiness to issue proposals for con-
tracts, for the execution of the various de-
tails of work to be executed. It has been
determined to dam the Silver Mine, or more
properly the Silver Spring brook, near Chas.
Gruppc’s, in New Canaan. Thence to carry
the water in a 12 inch main, following the
highway, mainly, in a direct line to the
summit of Spring Hill into a distributing
reservoir there upon lauds belonging to
Francis Skiddy and Mrs. 'L. M. Stevens.
Thence to supply our Borough through a
system of distributing pipe of various sizes-
The line of main pipe from the supplying
to distributing reservoir will be about five
and a half miles.
gi‘he extent of pipes of distribution
through the Borough, we judge, will be not
far from ten miles. The' kind of pipes will
be what is termed the iron and cement pipe.
The receiving reservoir will contain about
50,000,000 of gallons. The distributing re-
servoir will' be of the capacity of about
4,500,000 gallons, which, we judge, will be a
supply for use at present, for about ten or
twelve days. This will be ample to meet all
contingencies of accidents, &c., to the main
pipe. The main pipe will deliver into' the
distributing reservoir 1,000,000’daiiy, if re-
quired.
The land has been obtained for, both re-
servoirs,ab'out thirty acres for the receiving
reservoir, and four acres for the distributing
reservoir. The right of way for the pipe
through private lands has been obtained, in
part, and .the remainder will no doubt soon
be secured on mutually satisfactory terms.
New Canaan has promptly and cheerfully
voted us permission to use its highways
when necessary, and our thanks are due and
most gratefully tendered to the town for
this. favor. The water has been analyzed
fully, and is pronounced to be 'of excellent
' quality, indeed none Of equal purity‘ is now
in use in this State.
_ It has been thought by some that the dis-
tributing reservoir on Spring Hill was not
necessary, but after very mature considera-
tion and the advice of hydraulic engineers
of great experience, it was judged that it
would be a very important addition to the
systerm, especially so, as nature had houn-
teously thruished us an Opportunity to do
so, at comparatively, a moderate expense.
We believe that all will think so when the
works are completed, and its‘advantages, in
cases of fire, and the furnishing power, are
fully seen. The elevation of the receiving
reservoir above high tide is 290 feet, and the
elevation of the distributing reservoir above
high water is 190 feet. Consequently it will
be seen, that the elevation of the upper re-
servoir above the lower reservoir will be
about 100 feet, which will be ample, to in-
sure an abundant delivery of- water.
The contract for furnishing and laying the
pipe has been given to the Patent Water and
Gas Pipe Company of New York, of which
Mr. McRee Swift is manager. We think
the terms are very good for the Borough,
and that the tried character of the pipe and
‘of the company, insure us a good work,
with a guarantee which they give to keep it,
in perfect order for five years. As will be
seen in another column of to-day’s issue at
the GAZETTE, the commissioners advertise
tor proposals. for the trenching and con;
structiou of the distributing reservoir. It is
hoped to break ground in earnest by the
first of May and- complete the whole work
by the first of December next.
We think our friends at South Norwalk
have greatly erred in not joining with us in
this most important enterprise, yet it is
gratifying to know that our whole commu-
nity are united in the desire that our com-
missioners should go ahead and furnish us
just the beat and most effective system of
public water works, compatible with a rea-
sonable outlay. Indeed the only anxiety of
our people now is that some false notion of
economy may induce ,the commissioners to
omit finishing up these works in the best
manner known to modern engineering skill.
We implore them, not for the sake of sav-
inga few thousand dollars 'to commit the
fatal error, almost always committed, and
which cost Hartford nearly a million of
dollars, viz., by not building the works with
suflcient capacity and as durable, as'a wise
economydemands. We know that such is
the wish of the people of Norwalk, and if
fifty, or even one hundred thousand doligrs.
are required to fulfill this expectationhit
will be cheerfully granted, in fact no other
course will be tolerated with‘ composure _or
patience by our people. All hail the era of
pure cold water for N orwalk !
WCan nothing he done to check the
rapid and fearfiil increase of-profanity and
obscenity in- this community? The vice
hasso rapidly increased of late that it is
almost impossible to find a boy 'or young
man here who has not already become its
slave. Such a strong hold has it gained
that its devotees have become fixed in the
habit, and careless, so that ladies, even, in
passing through our streets hear blasphemy
and vulgarity on every side, and thus are
forced to become more Or less familiar with
the disgusting vocabulary. Many young
men, well dressed, apparently decent and
respectable, are , disgustingly vulgar in
speech, while the boys-A-who are the coming
men—indulge with a freedom horrible 'to
contemplate. If you haveany idea that we
are exaggerating, go whenever you can find
a dozen youths"- together—on the ball
ground, at the church door, or wherever
you please—and listen for yourselves. If
boys could be made to see themselves as
others see them, we think they could be in-
duced to make an effort to keep their months
at least as clean as their clothes.

As we said before election, we doubted
the possibilities of Gen. Kellogg‘s election,
yet- if anybody on earth eould overcome

was that man! Well, he has,- just as we

would. Kellogg is not only the-luckiest
man in the world, but also the most persist--
rent and sagacious‘ worker extant, and be
thoroughly demon his success. His
victory is also most complimentary to the
better portion of the democracy of that
district, who regardless of party tramtnels
voted for a good and true friend and zealous

that district and of our State. .

of the house, and finding nothing wrong

bed. A window in the bedj'oom, opening
to the ground was, open, and his coat and.

of his money. The inference is that
the murderer approached the house either
by calf pasture road or in a boot up the
beach and raised this window, which Mrs.
G. thinks was not fasteneih In front ofthe ‘
window was a table on which were a tea-
pot aud a cup and saucer. These hadbeen
taken outside and were also found on the
stoop. In the corner of the room was an

were inflicted, although no blood was vist-

was called, who probed the wounds and
took therefrom several large pieces of

ties with this menagerie and w ich can be
seen in no other exhibition in America, is a
young Bactriau Camel, born in Danbury,
Connecticut. about three week's since,.the

of the Connecticut eleciou; says . “Connecti-
cut has often deserved the grateful blessings
of the republicans of her sister States but
she never did IO well under circumstances
so embarrassing and disheartening, as yes-
terday. The Sumner quarrel, the clamor
against the President with regard to San Do-
mingo, the New Hampshire surprise, and a
hundred other make-weights, operated to
discourage and paralyze her working repub-
licans, while inducing the weak brethren to

gave English 1,764 majority in the spring of
1868, they have exceeded all reasonable ex-
pectation. 'All hail gallant, glorious Cou-

, Propeller City of Norwalk,-while lying at
the steamboat dock, at South Norwalk, last
Friday'nigbt. While engaged in unloading
SOuthNorwalk freight, the vessel suddenly
careened over on one side, filled with water
and sank. Saturday morning the hands
succeeded in: removing the freight to a
schooner, and our steam fire engine was
sent for to pump the water out, but on its
arrival the tide had commenced rising and
nothing couldhc done; until night. About
6 o’clock p,m.,;the steemerwas again taken
down, and during the evening succeeded in
pumping out nearly all ofthe water, so that
fires were started'under her boilers and her
pumps set to work. The damage to cargo,
we learn, was slight, and the vesSel is ex-
