politicians, who watch the drift Of public
sentiment before making up their mind, will
have to accept the verdicts already given,
for nothing in party action will be so be-l
wildering as the “Conventions” whiCh will
spawn all over the land till November, un-
der the inspiration of “all sorts of people”
and all stripes of discontent.
Senators Wilson and Nye, who did such
good service in our State, are back in their
seats and naturally feel an especial delight
‘ in our triumph.
Senators Buckingham and Ferry rpturned
early in the week and both look refreshed
by their share in the canvass and victory.
In the House, all our Representatives are
back save Mr. Barnum, and his absence is
excusable. It is the intention of our mem-
bers to present the Connecticut marbles in
the House the coming week.
Representative Starkweather and Kellog
are much improved in health, The member
from the lst District is always Strong.
A rumor is-in circulation that Mr. Colfax
has again concluded to insist upon his origi-
nal determination to retire to private life. It
is said that he has an open offer of $25,000 a
. year salary to connect himself with a great
corporation, and being new a“family man,”
and without fortune, cannot longer afford to
give his time to Official sctviee which gives
him but a meagre living, when he has the
chance to secure a competency for his
family by returning __to business pursuits.
If this rumor should prove trtie, then Senator
Henry Wilson’s rumination to the Vice
Presidency will be rendered next to certain.
No man in the country has better earned the
honor, as all concede, by a life long fidelity
to Republican principles, and no name
would add trrouter lustre or strength to our
ticket.
The President has just returned from New
YOI‘K, whither he went to see his daughter,
“Miss Nellie,” off for Europe. She sailed
last Tuesday in company with the family of
Ex-Secrctary Borie. Master U. S. Grant, Jr.,
. is expected tojoin his military brother and
sister in Germany during his June vacation.
He is now a student at Harvard.
The Senate Copimittee on Military affairs
have decided to report a general bill for the.
relief of such officers who served in the late
war as were commissioned but who failed,
through no, fault of their own, to receive
commissions. The bill will cover the cases
of a large number of officers who were cap-
tured and remained prisoners of war in the
rebel lines, and who were,consequently, un-
able to be mustered into the positions to
Which they had been commissioned.
The ways and means committee at its
meeting tC-day decided upon a uniform tax
of 20 cents per pound on all kinds of tobacco,
and a consolidated tax on whiskey of 65 cts.
per gallon. . .
The case of Bowen cs. DeLarge was
argued before the House Committee on
Elections this morning on a utqtion to dis—
miss, on the ground that Bowen accepted a
state office pending the present contest. Mr.
Hoar said the case was a novel and impor-
tant one. ' The motion to dismiss is against
Bowen, and its decision does not confirm
DeLarge in his seat.
Prince Nagaoka, who formerly ruled one
of the provinces of the north of Nephon,has
just arrived in New York from San Fran-
cisco, and is shortly to join the Embassy in
this country until he has gained a good
knowledge of the English language and of
our institutions. The several members of
the embassy now here are improving the
time in “seeing the country.” Next to riding
up and down on our hotel elevators a. ride
in a Pullman car makes up the full Of a
Jap’s sum of human felicity. All the out—
going and incoming trains are favoi‘ed by
the presence of a body of them, who are
scattering all about the country with great
“promiscuousness.”
The new J apanesc gold coins, which are
just issued from dies struck for thctn at the,
Philadelphia mint, are nine-tenths fine,
weigh three-tenths Ofone per cent. less than
our new gold coins, but are about the same
iii weight with coins in circulation, which
have diminished by abrasion. A complete
set will be presented to the Secretary of the
Treasury and deposited in the cabinet of the
Philadelphia Mint.
Their “Bank notes" or‘rather government
notes, to the used as a circulating medium
after the plan Of the ‘fmost favored civilized
nation” are also just out. Chief Clerk
Saville superintended their engraving which
was done by the very best skilled workmen
of the U. S. Bank Note 00., and are the
finest specimens Of note engraving ever seen
in this country. The J ups pay for whatever
' pleases them, and so are entitled to the best
our'country affords.
The committee on bankitig and currency
investigating the charges against Controller
Hulburd find nothing morally wrong, but
his acceptance of the present of a carriage
and pair of horses, &c., they deem subver-
sive of the public interests, and recommend
his resignation, which has been accepted.
The Controller is said to make the point,
jocosely, that he was imitating only in a
slight degree the example set him by his
chief. .
A concrete paving commission, composed
of Messrs. J. Y. Cuyler, of New York ; Kel-‘
logg, of New York ; East'crbrook, Of Phila-
delphia ; Gen. 0. E, Babcock, and Messrs,
A. B. Mullett and S. P. Brown, of the Board
of Public Works, of this city, are holding a
session here. There is a'great interest felt
here both as regards its use for roadways
and sidewalks, and if the proper kind can
- be determined upon it will be of great value
throughout the nation.
The death of the great telegraphic elec-
trician, Mr. Morse, is received here with all
the sorrow and honorable recognition his in-
calculable . service to mankind should in-
spire. Well aud vividly do we recall our
personal interest in the discussion which
'took place in the old Senate, over the bill to
grant him government aid to build a trial
line to Baltimore, and the approving laugh
that went up from the Senate floor when
one Senator moved to amend to extend the
’ line to the moon.

Rev. I. Simmons preached his farewell
discourse at the 2d M. E. Church, last Sun-
day evening. A large congregation, com-
prising many of other denominations, as-
sembled to hear him, notwithstanding the
unpleasantweather. His sermon was chief—
ly an explanation and defense of the Metho-
dist itinerant principle. During the three
years of his stay in this place the Rev.
gentleman has made hosts of friends, and
his departure is regretted alike by his church
and the community.

broadly charges that democratswerc bought

ever waged in the State,” and that “money
was poured in here by loads.” It does not

A tax-payer in the Borough complains to
us that. the authorities have served him with
a notice to lay down a stone or concrete
walk in front of‘his premises, before the first
of May oi- they will do it at his expense, &c.
He says he already has a good gravel walk,
in good order, but that the highways
throughout the Borough, under immediate
charge of said authorities, are in a shameful
condition, and he thinks before issuing per-
emptory orders to citizens to improve what
is already good, thdt they had better put the
streets, crossings, &c., under their charge, in
something like decent condition.
Things were left mpg. shape, last Fall,
and no mistake. Too any improvements .
were attempted at too late a day. We have 3
reason to believe, however, now that Spring
has set in, that the presentBoard will exert
themselves to put things in order and com-
plete much needed improvements.

SENATOR BROWNLOW has written a manly
and patriotic letter to. the editors of the
Knoxville Chronicle, suggesting that the
State convention called for the 15”: of May
be held a month earlier. In reference to
the gentlemen who are the leaders of what-
ever therc is of a Liberal Republican party
in Tennessee, Senator Browulow speaks as
follows: 0
“ Who are the men in Tennessee who, for
the most part, are applauding and support-
ing this movement ofso-called Liberal Re-
publicanism 't’ '
, “ And who are the men who, through
the press and otherwise, are aided in getting
up a delegation to go to Cincinnati ‘2 They
are thesame fLibeI-al Republicans, who sup-
ported McClellan as against Lineoln in 1864.
They are the some men who supported
Seymour as against Grant in 1868. And
they are the same men who are now for
anybody to beat Grant.’
“ TO presume for a moment that men
with such antecedents could influence the
Republican voters of Tennessee would be
to assume that these voters are fools. The
real issue before the country is whether .tl:e
party which put down the rebellion shall
govcrn'it or the party which inaugurated
the rebellion and still hate the Government
shall control its destinies.
“ Already the rebel-Democracy are knock-
ing at the door of Congress, demanding
that the sixty millions paid into the Treas-
ury, as a tax on cotton, shall be refunded ;
which if done would add that much to the
taxation of the loyal and laboring mass‘es of
the republic. Instal this party in power,
and it would next demand payment for all
losses incurred by the rebels durin 'the war,
including payment for slaves. t would -
next demand payment of pensions to rebel
soldiers. This would be followed by the
expulsion from the South of all lo a1 men
of N orthcrn birth and native nionists.
To the accomplishment of fliese objects
they are daily looking.

statement that teachers find often in the
possession of the smallest children the nasti-
est and most repulsive books and pictures.
A case came to on 'oWn knowledge recently
where pictures oft is kind were found in
possession Of some of the smallest children
of one of our public schools.
Is it asked how such books find their
way to the young? The answer is ready. ,
Newspapers professing to be respectable
admit advertisments telling where such
books and pictures can be obtained and
sent through the mail. The Windows of
our news venders are filled with the weekly
sporting-papers, from which any evil-dis-
posed child can find out where to get the
indecent stuff. Some of these. very ,papers
have been driven outof other cities; but
they seem” still to hold their ground. Now
it; is perfectly, evident that the law and
society both can do much to , suppress this
evil, if they will only make the effort. Is it
not worth while to make it? Let parents
ask whether they are willing to run the
risk, and to let their children be exposed to
the danger of corruption which no amount
of subsequent teachings or preaching can
ever elface. Mothers might insist that the
law should protect their children, and to so
contrive thntpure girls can at least have
the privilege of looking into a shop-window
without having a lot of vile, dirty pictures
paraded before them. No more soul-dc-
stroying evil threatens the youth of our land,
and no nobler and more Christlike reform
is being battled for than that i ugurated

Howe-9 London Circus and Sanger,-
English Mepngerio of Trained Wild
Beusts.~
This complete and extensive exhibition
will visit Norwalk, and give two entertain-
ments, on Wednesday, the 17th inst. The
Managers say that it is beyond question the
largest and most cxpensively equipped es-
tablishment that ever visited this section,
Prominent among the grand display of ani-
mals will be found five trained African and
Asiatic Elephants; six trained Zebras; six
trained Bengal Tigers ; fourteen trained
Laughing Hyenas ; the largest den of train-
ed Lions ; and an exhaustive array of nov-
elties'in the animal kingdom. The circus
comprises an extensive English equestrian
troupe and a fill] corps of aethletics, gym-
nasts, acrobats, evolutionists, tumblers,
trapegists, vaultcrs, leaps and general per-.
formers ; Three new clowns ; four lady
riders, etc. The scale of prices to the entire
show has been reduced to ante-war prices,
adults twenty-five cents, children ten years
and under, fifteen cents. This new depart-
ure will afford an unusual opportunity _ for
all to attend the great show, and, certainly
the liberality and enterprise of the proprie-
tors Of this magnificent consolidation ‘will
not b nappreciatcd, but on the contrary
we [rt-met that their mammoth pavilions
will be‘ crowded upon both the aft'eruoou
and evening exhibitions. The grand street
display for which this troupe is famous is
of the most gorgeous description. N 0 less
than six golden pictorial massive chariots
appear in the street together with an im-
mense array of Knights in steel armor, the
teams of rare and curious beasts and import-
ed English horses. The procession will- be
given at nine o’clock on the morning of the
exhibition. The perfbrmances takes place
afternoon at 1 o’clock and in the evening
at 7 o’clock.
. At the second meeting of the' “American
Association for the Cure of Inebriates,” re-
cent] held in New York, Dr. Joseph Par-
rish elivered an essay, the result Of his
long experience in the care of inebriates.
He divides the latter into three classes; the
first cOnfirmed inebriates, or professional
debauchees, whose purpose in life seem to
be limited to the gratification of appetites
or passions; the second is the emotional
class, who are described as persons“without
a decided intention to do wrong. afid with-
out any abiding purpose to do right, and
who are the victims of their own moral
weakness, or of the cupidity ar recklessness
of others;” and the third are accidental in-
ebriutes—“mcn of good principles and char-
acter, who know and acknowledge their
infirmity and endeavor to overcome it.
Students, authors, salesmen and overworked
business men furnish a considerable per-
centage of this class.” The ma'ority of the
first class, according to Dr. Namsh, are
incurable, and he recommends that such
persons be detained in special hospitals.
Of this class Dr. P. has had eightyhfour
under his care, twenty-four of whom im-
proved so as to be capable of partially at-
tending to business; seven were radically
cured, and two‘became insane. Of the
second class, the Doctor has had as patients
scvonty-two,of whom forty-two were so
improved as to attend most of their time to
their affairs, and twenty-one were cured of
their infirmity. He has had in charge, of
the third class, sixty-six persons, forty-
seveu of whom were entirely cured and
sixteen ofwhom are nearly so.

In a clever burlesque of the Jenkins style
of describing weddin s, recently published
in the Indianapolis ewe, the bride’s dress
is described as a. white megat herinm silk
trimmed with prussic acid blue pompaded
front and lambrequins of the some, looped
up with cally lilies flecked by furiginated
potassite and mellaced trivere—imported
expressly for her. Her vail was a biased
polonaise, trimmed with doubled fluted
ruchings, surmounted with a wreath of the
snowy trichinalis. Some Of the presents
were a set of teeth 'and an oyster-freezer,
from the bride’s mother ; a. gold-lined hash-
rcceivcr and a set of chaste and elegant
terra-cotta jewelry from the groom ; a. quilt
pieced by the donorwhen eleven years of
age, and a package of cabbage seed from
the bride’s grandmother, aged ninety, who
can read fine print without glasses, and
who cracked all the nuts for the banquet
with her own teeth.
Don’t all speak at- once. An Indiana

Who Shall be Senator?"
With characteristic modesty; the New
York Times, in advance of any public dis-
cussion of the question in our own newspa-
pers, hasundertakcn to instruct the people
of Connecticut as to whom they should
elect to the Senate of the United States for
5 the term beginning on the 4th of next
arch. The Time; does not deem it worth
while to discuss the fitness of the present

confidence in its own judgment to declare
that Gen.J. R. Howley is ‘the man of all
others for the honor and the duties in-
volved. That our readers may see the argu-
ment prepared forthe columns of this out-
nuumbent,but proceeds with the utmost years
public opinion, we have elsewhere reprinted
the article entire.
It is not our purpose to say one word in
derogation of the claims advanced in behalf
of Gen. Hawley. All that is said of his abil-
ity and his devotion .tO Republican princi-
ples is strictly true, and would be equally
true if any one of halfa dozen names were
substituted for his in the article.
that Gen. Hawley has merit'does not touch
the real question at issue. He maybe every-
thing that is claimed for him and more, and
yet not entitled to supplant the good and
faithful servant who now comes» before his
constituents for a verdict upon his steward-
ship and a re-election ifthere be no insupera-
ble objection.
The fact
It is best to meet the question fairly and
frankly—why should Gen. Ferry be displac-
ed aud Gen Hawley substituted? All other
things being equal, it is the part of wisdom
to retain a faithful and experienced repre-
sentative rather than select a new and
ntried one. Gen. Ferry has served one
term, or a portion of one term. It is not to
much to as that he has surprised those
who knew im best bv the ability he has
isplayed in the handling of the great qpes—
t is
onccded on all hands thata'sa debatcr he
is the peer of any man w‘to stands in that
b
Ody—that few equal him in logical force
nd oratorical power. His character is
absolutely beyond reproach, and his treat
ment of every question and of his fellow-
members is so candid and courteous that he
is always listened to with marked attention
and respect. ' Those who heard his master-
ly speeches during the rdcent canvass can
well understand that such a. power of anal-
ysis, acuteness of perception and breadth of
views must give him weight in any b y of
We do not think it will be pre nded
by anybody that Gen. Howley' is! the supe-
rior of Senator Ferry in this respect.
Now as to legislative experience. Gen.
Haw lcy has never held a seat in any deliber-
ative body, while Senator Ferry has served
in our State Senate, two years in the lower
house of Congress, and five years in the -
United States Senate.
comparison can be drawn. He, to, served
with distinction in the field, and no man
ever questioned his bravery or patriotism.
If Gen. Ferry, then, has the ability and
the character to maintain a distinguished
place among his fellows, the experience
which gives confidence and wisdom, why
should the people of Connecticut be urged
to make a change? Everybody knows that
an old member, familiar with the rules and
prevailing customs in Congress, and inti-
mately acquainted with the members and
personnel of the departments, can serve his
constituents better and wield a greater influ-
ence than a new member who has to win
his place. As a matter of principle we are
opposed to frequent changes of our repre-
sentative; unless weighty reasons can -be

Baldwin would have had a second term but

doubt, have had a third had he not proved
unfaithful to his party. Gov. Foster also
had two terms, and we shofild have been
better suited had he been returned for a
third. ,If he is willing to serve, we think
the people would best consult their own
interests by re-electmg Gov. Buckingham
at the close of his present term, and we have
