Last Wednesday, (May 10th,) on the day
when the grand Centennial exhibition was
‘ opened in the city of brotherly love, the la-
.dies’ Mite society of the Congregational
church held their last evening meeting for
the season at the residence of Mrs. Joseph .
Andrews, in what we here call the Upper
Parish. The meetings will hereafter be held
during the afternoons only. \Ve need not
say that from the well-known kindness and
. hospitality of host and' hostess, the .meeting
was avery pleasant one and passed of de-
lightfully, though a heavy thunder storm was
raging in the evening. We are sorry to say
that Miss Louise’Coley, on her return home,
met with quite an accident, caused by the '
upsetting Of her wagon. The darkness was
intense and aflash of lightning frightened
plentifulneséand cheapness of shad at the
present time as proof of this assertion. In
the years 1865 and ’66 shad were sold at
thirty cents per pound, retail—they .now
retail at fifteen cents' apiece in \Vashington
market, New York. Connecticut was the
State in which shad were first hatched arti-
ficially. The wonderful increase and the re-
duetion in the price of this excellent fish has
compensated the people of this State more
thana thousand times over for the small
appropriations given for this object by the
Legislature, and if the present system is con-
tinued there is no reason why salmon, now
sold at fifty and sixty cents a pound, may
not again become a very cheap article of
food.

It has been proposed to commemorate the
Centennial year by planting trees in the va-

remain to'adorn our public places as well as
serve as patriotic memorials. Now is the
time to set out such trees—another month
and it will be too late.

'Tlle Senatorial Fight.
The Democratic caucus was held on Wed-
nesday evening, and the contest between the
two money bags was lively in the extreme.
The New York Herald correspondent, in a
long report, tells the story, which we con-
dense below :—-—- '
The fight for the United States Senator-
ship in Connecticut is practically ended by
the result of last night’s Democratic caucus.
No danger exists of a bolt, and nothing now
remains but the mere formal election on Tues-
day next, which will legally endorse the
choice of Mr. William H. Barnum.
If the complexion of this Senatorial contest
is tobe taken from the English standpoint
thereis justifiable reason for the com' laint of
bad treatment in the House by Mr. nglish’s
me is as follows:—Sh0rtly before last elec-
tion approaches were made to Mr. English
for funds ‘to conduct the campaign. The
“ mighty dollar ” was wanted in Connecticut
to carry the State for the Democrats, asit.
was announced that a vigorous campaign
would be inaugurated by Republicans to se-
cure victory for their party. Mr. English
“defrayed liberally his share of the expenses.
Then came an. actual pledge, in an indirect
way, to' Mr. English that he' would have no
competitor for the United States Senatorship.
Thus all appeared to be clear sailing. A vic-
tory was anticipated by the Democrats in
April, but they did not contemplate such an
overwhelming majority on joint ballot; out
of twenty-one Senators eighteen Democrats
were chosen. In the House of Representa-
tives, 158 Democrats secured seats out of 246.
eyes, and at once declared himself a candi-
date. He saw victory within his grasp. Had
the majority been a small 'one he might have
hesitated ;- but he started out with almost the
entire vote of the Fourth Congressional Dis-
trict representatives behind him as follows:—
Fairfield County - ‘-
LitChfield County -'
Total . - - - . 53
In caucus 91 votes were necessary for a
choice. It then required only 33 more repre-
sentatives outside of Litchfleld and Fairfield
counties, and the battle was won. Mr. Bar-
num is said to be a very active politician, and
as ~ an organizer ahead of his competitor.
While the latter lay quietly on his oars in the
early part of the canvass the Congressman
was at work securing a majority of the can-
cus.
told how closely Mr. Barnum and his friends
had calculated when the tellers announced :—
William H. Barnum
James E. English 78
It was too late to repair the disaster when
the err-Governor found that he had been out-
witted. While he slumbered over deceptive
promises the ground had been cut from under
his feet. . ' ' -
THE BAiZNUM SIDE OF THE STORY.
An entirely different complexion is given
to the contest by Mr. Barnum‘ and his co-
workers. ‘ in an interview thegfollowing con-
versation t- .ok place :—- ’
“ Mr. Barnum,” I- inquired, “ the Sena-
torial fight being practically ended, I wduld
like to know whether there was any pledge
given by you to Mr. English that you would
not run against him ?” ‘ .
"‘None whatever,”, he answered. “I"know
that statements of this description have gone
forth, but there is not a particle of truth in
them. I had a' conversation with Governor
English some few days since, an we both
agreed to abide by' the result of th caucus.”
‘ “Do you suppose these difficulties will
have any effect upon the harmony of the
Democratic party in this. State '1’" ,
f‘Wlly, no. [he caucus has decided that
I am its choice, and there the matter stands.
I see_ no law against a nian standing up as a
candidate if he wishes to do so."
“Did Mr. Burr, editor of the Times, .Con-
gressman Lander, or any other third'party
come to you and exact a pledge that on
would: not be a candidate against Mr. n-
-glish ?” '
' “ Nothing of the kind. I did not announce
myself as a candidate, however, until recent~
ly. Ido not see the necessity of a man’s
trumpeting to the world every day his inten-
tions. Neither did Mr.‘English declare him-
self a candidate until lately. I presume it is
his motto, and avery proper one, that.the
‘ office should seek the man and. not the man
the office.’ Ihavo no bitter feelings‘in the
matter and I see no reason why an should
exist on the , of: Mr. Enghsh. e have

0th aspirants have done their state much
political service, and have always been liber-
al contributors to the election funds. The
Question of who gave the most seems to enter
into the canvass. The friends of Governor
English assert, for instance, that he gave his
party this year 381,500. while Mr. Barnum’s
advocates retort by saying that their man has
given more than twice that sum annually for
years. From this fact it is inferred that con-
siderable money was spent in Connecticut at
the late election, and that the democratic pile
was heavier than that of the republicans.
