Tire Elections.
It is hard telling which party came out
ahead in the elections of last Tuesday. It
being the first year after Presidential elec-
tion the vote was generally light,and as usual
in off years the democracy made many gains.
It tickles them mightily to make gains, even
in off years, and perhaps helps the Repub-
licans in the long run, because they are sure
to make a mess of it whenever they get a
chance to show their superior wisdom and
ability to manage. In New York the demo-
crats elected State officers (no Governor) but
the Republicans retain a majority of the Sen-
atc. In Pennsylvania the democracy also
\vcre successful, and have a right to crow.
The Republicans were victorious in old Mas-
sachusetts, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas
and Nebraska. The democrats elect McClel-
lull in New Jersey, and of course had their
own way in Maryland, Virginia and Missrs-
sippi.
OLD CONNRorloer.
In thisState the Republican’s were triumph-
ant. They elected four out of eight Sheriffs,
and in this county they cut down the demo-
cratic majority feirfully. On the Sheriffs
vote, in the State, we have about 1,000
plurality; we elect seven out of eleven Sena-
tors, which gives its five majority in the
Senate. In the House We have some thirty-
fivc majority. The vote in the State was
very light.
Vote of Norwalk.
In Norwalk we polled only about half the
vote of the town, but rolled up a majority of
143 for our candidate for Sherifi. We rc.
elect Mr. Betts to the House, but lost our
South Norwalk candidate—many Republi-
cans, for various causes, voting for Mr.Weed'.
We give the full vote of the Town below, by

The Speaker-ship.
Our Eastern Republican Exchanges are
quite busy just now “bringing forward" can-
didates for Speaker. We have entire confi-
dence that a House made up of the good
material our next Assembly is to contain,
will be able to make its own proper selection.
Still upon a careful survey of the whole field
we doubt if any one can be found who pos-
sesses the special qualities so necessary to a
safe and rapid chairman of the Assembly as
Judge Brewster, of Danbury. He is sound
in judgment and acts quickly, as those who
have seen him temporarily presiding over
the House, well know. We shall be very
greatly mistaken if the choice does not fall
upon him. It certainly will if our friends
consult their own best interests and com-
fort. It is no disparagement to other worthy
candidates to say for Judge Brewster that in
no other member, are the qualities for a first
class speaker, so conspicuous.
thcniowns from official returns show that the
Senate will stand 13 republicans to 8 demo-
crats, and the House 136 republicans to 110
democrats. The total vote of the State will
not vary far from 84,364, a falling off from
lasts year’s vote for governor of nearly 30,000.

We are unable to give the exact majority
of Mr. Sanford. It is variously reported at
from 208 to about 350. Leaving out Newtown
the candidates would be about even.

lature will be found, on the Republican side
of the House, Judge Briscoe of Enfield,

these, Messrs. Briscoe, Harland. Brewster
and Andrews are talked of for Speaker. On
the Democratic side there will be J udgc Mc
Manus, Stiles Sperry of Hartford, Gallagher
of New Haven, Kendrick and Boughton of
Waterbury, Lippitt of New London, Wil-
liams of Stonington, and a few others of less
prominence. In the Senate, all the newly
elected members, of both parties, with per-
haps two or three exceptions.are able and ex-
perienced men. The Legislature,” a whole,
bids fair to he one of the best of late years.
Over one hundred and thirty seats were taken
in the House, at Hartford, before 2 o’clock,
the day after election, which shows how
wide awake our legislators are getting. Mr.
Perry of Fairfield,holds the same seat he had
last year, directly in front of the Speaker.
P. T. Barnum has the first desk in the cen-
ter aisle facing the Speaker.

We hear it reported that the Republicans
of Newtown are dissatisfied with the result
in that place, and that they talk of contesting
the election of Mr. Sanford, on the ground
of certain irregularities. Mr. Sanford cer-
tainly gained a very complimentary vote in
that tewa.

candidate for the speakership. We have no
efficient speaker, but there is one little fact
which should be taken into consideration.
Mr. Briscocls law partner, Mr. Maltbie,
is Insurance Commissioner Stedmans deputy.
Now if Mr. Briscoe should be elected it
would be only natural for him to ap-
point Mr. Malthie chairman of the Commit-
tee on Insurance. If Mr. Maltbie is given
that position what will be the chances for ef-
fective investigations into insurance matters
and proper examination of Commissioner
Steadman’s accounts? We simply throw this
hint out for consideration.
What are the People going to do
about it.
A call has been issued for a meeting of the
citizens of the trim, irrespective of party, to
assemble at Lockwood's Hall, Wednesday
evening to consider what shall be done, if
anything, to properly enforce the License
law. The citizens voted No License. Does
that vote mean anything? and just what
does it mean ? Let the matter be discussed»
so that some understanding may he arrived
at speedily. This, as we understand it, is not
intended simply as a “temperance" meeting,
but as a meeting of all citizens interested
whether temperance men or not. Don’t
forget it—don't shirk it.
The Steamer Amelicus continues her daily
trips to New York as usual. No time is yet
set for her withdrawal for the winter, and
she will probably run as long as the weather
will permit and the people keep up their pat-
ronage. On Saturday, notwithstanding the
unfavorable weather, many passengers were
carried both ways.
The Pumpkin Festival.
This Novel entertainment takes place this
evening, at Lockwood's Hall, and promises
to be a very enjoyable affair. In addition to
all the attractions of “pumpkin pie” and
J ack~o’Lanterns, there will be good vocal and
intrumental music, rccitations, tableaux, etc.
Prof. Crispini will also show what musical
sounds can be produced from an instrument
made of wood and straw. The Methodist

member the article to be prepared, so that a

A regular meeting of the Board of. Conn-
cilmen was held on Monday evening of last
week, all members present excepting Mr.
Craw. Water Commissioner Baker offered
his resignation. On hearing his reasons for
it, and a motion being made for its accept-
ance, the senior Conncilman, Col Cunning-
ham, expressed his regrets fhat the Commie.
sioner for any came should feel it his duty to
resign. Other members expressed their re-
grcts and suggested its acceptance, provided
the resignation dated from January lst, 1878.
The date was changed, and with many deep
regrets the resignation was accepted. After
the regular committees had reported, Coun-
cilman Selleck, chairman of a committee to
prepare a new charter, made a statement of
the progress of the committee, and reported
that the amendments werenearly cempleted,
and as only one of the acting committee was
present, only one, the chairman, had signed
the report and recommendation, but as the
time to' call a city meeting was short, (pro-
vided the legal notice was given of. the. pro-
posed amendments,) he asked that the Council
waive any prejudice and act upon the recom-
mendation. Without waiting for a. motion
the Senior Councilman ordered it to be laid
on the table. Councilman Selleck protested
against this act, and ofiered .his resignation
as chairman of the' committee. Councilman
Hallock moved its acceptance and was sec-
onded by Councilman Knapp. Selleck then
gave his reasons for resigning, to which Cur.-
ningham replied, asserting that Selleck had
been a disorganizer in the Council, and now
‘ 'shirkcd a duty for which he had been paid.
The accused replied that the assertions of the
Senior were false in every respect, and called
for the proof; that there was no disorganizat-
in the Board but the chair, and that he could
not prevent the speaker from defending him-
self from the fake caper-cams, by crying or-
der.

An expression is now common in this city,
and is given as a reason why votes were cast.
for the up-town democratic nominee in pre-
ference to the nominees of the 2d district.
“We wont vote for men who cant manage
their ' own business successfully.” If the
truth was known or made public, and this
was the test, there would be but few worthy
or competent candidates for ofiice and some
who used the expression, had better look at
home.

In spite of existing depression in our com-

have we had such cause for thanksgiving and
to the Father of Mercies whose bless-

Whilst war is dcsolating a part of the earth.
with its fiercest barbarities, the people of this
country are at peace with-all the nations of
and unity with each: other. ‘
Whilst famine is wasting - another part of
the Earth with :. suffering,’ starvation and
deat , our lands are elding up their ln-»
crease in unheard abun cc, and our barns
are bursting with the incoming harvests.
It is a benediction from on Hightimed and
proportioned to our utmosts needs—a miracle
of nature's abundance which demands from
us in return offices of kindness and charity to
the sick and needy, remembering that an
offering to the poor is athank-offering to the
Lord, and that with such sacrifices God is
well pleased. ‘
To the Giver at every good and perfect
gift, who spreadeth out the heavens and
crowneth the'year with His goodness—to our
fathers’ God who planted as in this goodly
heritage of freedom, peace and abundance—
let us then, with one consent, at all our
hearthstones and in all our temples of wor-

and grateful thanksgiving for the precious

The veteran Magazine, which lon ago outgrew
its original title of the New Mom 1:] Magazine,
has not in the least abated the popularity it won
at the outset. but has added to itin many ways,
and has kept fairly abreast of the times, thanks to
the enterprise of publishers and the fact and ms-
dom of' its editors. For whatever is best and most
readable in the literature of travel, discovery, and
fiction. the average reader of‘ to-duy looks to 1{ar-
per-'3 Magazine. just as cxpectcntly as dnf the
reader of a quarter of a century ago; there is the
same admirable varretyof contents and the. same
freshness and snggestlvclless in its editorial dc-
partments now as them—Boston Journal.
