THE ELECTION
liniecllilllllrlnml
.__-——-§————
A hard fought battle was waged by the
Republicans of Connecticut yesterday, and
victory, MOST GLORIOUS, has crowned their
earnest efforts. Surely it was “notagpod
year for democrats,” but then our triumph
proves what earnest effort, coupled with
it oroug‘I organization with accomplish.
The returns in detail, show us to lave the
Senate by seven majority, and the House
from 30 to 40. Our State Ticket runs ahead
of the democratic from 2,000 to 3,000. The
greenback voteis about 7,000, so that our State
Oliicers will be elected by the Legislature.
This ensures us a United Senator in the
place of Hon. Wm. II. Barnum, whose term
expires 4th of March ’79. _
Gen. Joe Hawley is elected in the First
District; Phelps, soft money democrat, in
21 ; ioyal, John T. Wait in the 3d, and last
but not least, gallant FRED Minus in our own,
the 4th! Glory enough for one day. We
carry Ridgefield, Danbury, Fairfield, Green-
wich and Bedding with their 2 Reps. each,
Wilton, New Canaan, Bethel Westport, Wes-
ton and Darien with their one Republican
Reps. each.
fl
ELSEWHERE.
In New York city Tammany is defeated
and Cooper elected. We also carry the Leg-
islature and also gained seven Congressmen
in the State. We gain two in Connecticut,
one in New Hampshire, one in Maryland, and
probably one gain in Pennsylvania. Ben
Butler is completely snowed under in Massa-
chusetts, the Bay State going Republican by
an old-time majority. , “

New HAVEN, Nov. 5.—The Republicans
have won a great victory in this State. The
result may be summarized as follows :~ In
the First Congressional . District, Hawlcy,
(Rep) replaces Lander-s,(Dem.;) in the Fourth
Miles, (rep.) replaces Warner, (dem.) by 100
majority; in the Third, John T. W’ait, (rep.)
is r'e-elected by a handsome majority. In the
Second, Phelps democrat and Greenbacker, is
elected by a smaller majority than at the last
election, and this is the only victory the Dem-
ocrats have won. The election of -a State
cxpcctedly Andrews, Rep, leads Hubbard,
Dem., by 2,000 or 3,000 votes, the Greenback
vote being about 7,000, and the Temperance
vote 2,000. The Republican State ticket is
as good as elected, for the Republicans have
increased their majority in the Legislature,
being sure of 30 or 40 majority in the House,
and of five majority in, the Senate, with a
probability of a majority of 11 there, and a
possibility of a majority 'of 13. This condi-
tion of things renders certain the election of
place of W. 11. Barnum, and this will crown
to-day’s victory. The result exceeds the
cans. Many hard- money Democrats have

PROVIDENCE, November lit—The , election
in this state has been very quiet and an ex-

opposition, polling nearly 4,000, votes to
about 850 for Davis (dem.) In the western
district Barnaby (dem) had every show of
being elected, and up to the close of the
polls was assured of victory. Later returns
however, give Ballou (rep.) a majori.y of
500. The greenbackers made _a terrible bad
fight, less than 500 votes being cast in the
western district, where there are the most
greenback men, while the entire vote can not
be over 600.

NORWALK,CONNECTI
Sunday in Philadelphia. and Paris
There is such a difference between a Sun-
day at the Philadelphia. exhibition in 1876,
and a'Sunday at Paris exhibition in 1878,,tliat'
a reference to it may not be out. of place. The
doors of the Centennial were closed on the
Sabbath to the poor paying public, and gra-
tuitously open to the rich and favored few ;
b'ut‘this pitiful inconsistency that would have.
broken down any ordinary affair was over-
looked in the general pride and joy of the
people over their. magnificent celebration.
Here the gates are open to all, and though the
English and Americans do not show their
wares, and some of the other foreign socie.
ties are closed, the French, Italians and
Spaniards, are in their glory, the water rushes
from below the gallery of the Trocadero into
the basin, and the French bands fill the air
with the music of France. The admission
fee is one franc (20 cents), which, small as it
is, is too much for many of the working
classes, who pour along the lovely quays of
the Seine, crowd the public gardens or sit
under the luxurious chestnuts that line the
Champs Elysees, where you get a comfortable
chair for a son (one American penny.) Inside
the exhibition you have abrilliant human
equally varied products of human skill and
toil, Paris is your true cosmos in miniature,
and it needed no such extra attraction to call
here the citizens of the world. More of them
come, of course; but Paris is always the
magnet of the nations and all the nations are
at home in Paris. Every lauguag‘eis spoken
here, and as you wander through Lthe exhibi-
bition you seem to be in another Babel.
Drunken men are never seen, within or with-
out. The sober Turk, the silent Chinese, the
courteous Japanese, the stolid English, the
solid German, the blonde Russian, the native
American, are at their best, as if to prove
that art, besides refining the human race, also
educates and elevates it, .
There are some curious incidents connected
with this Sunday question. In London the
chief agitator for opening tbe‘English gar-
dens, museums, art galleries and libraries is
the Right Reverend Dean Stanley, of West-
minster. In a recent speech he used this
characteristic language : “The English mode
of observing Sunday was different from the
continental mode, whether Protestant - or
Catholic. The opportunities afforded by this
one free day were originally neglected in this
country. To a vast number of the working
classes in our great towns Sunday was the
only day which afforded an Opportunity for
innocent and healthy recreations and studies.
In the direct interests of religion and in the
interests of morality, which, after all, was
only religion under another name, he advocao
ted the enjoyment of that opportunity. It
was well said by Richard Baxter: ‘The devil
was a great undoer by overdoing.’ In over—
doing great religious observances there was
great risk of undoing the vital, essential elem
ments of religion itself.” Lord Shaftsbury,
however, and his school are as earnest for the
Covenanter’s severe observance of the Sab-
bath; and there is a reactionary Catholic
member. of the French Chamber of Deputies,
Count dc Mun, who is a lay preacher,devoted
to a more rigorous observance of the Sabbath
in France. His seat is contested and he will
lose it on the ground of corruption at the
elections. Count de Man is one of the aris-
tocrats of the Right, and when he goes forth
on his religious errand he is dressed in a din-
ner coat and white cravat—a curious costume
in which to appeal to the people to pay a
more austere attention to the first day of the
week.
Mme—Some few weeks ago there wasa
very serious outbreak Of diphtheria in the
neighborhood of St. John's Wood, Kilburn
and Hampaead. Something like forty or
fifty cases are reported to have occurred
Within a few days and as many as twenty
to have terminated fatally. Strangely enough
the disease did not attack the poorer and
more densely populated portions of the dis«
trict. The majority of the sufferers were
‘ children whose parents occupied large and
presumably well built houses, commanding
a high rental. One of the medical ofilcers
of the local government board is at present
conducting an investigation into the causes
of the outbreak, and he will, it is believed,
come to the conclusion that it was due to
contaminated milk supplied from one par-
ticular dairy in the neighborhood.
The disease is said to have first showed
itself in a house where there were several
children; but, strangely enough, it attacked
not the children, but their mother. This
lady noticed in the morning, when presiding
at the nursery breakfast table, that the milk
smelt strangely. She tasted it, and felt even
more doubtful. She refused to let the chil-
dren touch it, but imprudently drank a large
cupful herself. Two days afterward she was
attacked with diphtheria in a most pronounc-
ed form, while none of her children sufiered..
Whether this especial case is or is not the
inataittz'a lampadi's which will guide the
medical officers of the local government
board to the conclusion he seeks it would be
rash at present to conjecture. It is certain,
however, that contaminated milk is, next to
impure water, one of the most fruitful sour-
ces of diphtheria.
At Weybridge there has been an outbreak
as severe as that at St. John’s Wood, and we
learn that in between twenty and thirty cases
the sufferers had all milk from one dairy.
An inspector came down, visited the dairy
in question aud‘-found that the milk pails,
cans and basins had, been washed and rinsed
with water from a foul well. Every house-
wife knows, or ought to know, how suscepti-
ble milk is to contamination. A few drops
of sour milk will pollute, or, as it is called,
“turn," the whole contents of a dairy. It is
the same with those organic poisons which
are the germs of epidemic disease. The
milk from a can which has been rinsed out
with water from a tainted well may, and
often does, carry death into a dozen house-
holds—London Standard. -
——
The True Wife.
What do you think the beautiful word
“wife" comes from ? It is the .great word
in which the English and Latin languages
conquered the French and Greek. I hope
the French will some day get a word for it.
instead of that dreadful word “femme.”
But what do you think it comes from?
The great use of Saxon words is that they
mean something. Wife means “weaver.”
You must either be housewives or house-
motlis; remember that. In the deep sense,
you must either weave men’s fortunes and
embroider them, or feed upon and bring
them to decay.
Wherever a true wife comes, home is al-
ways around her. The-stars may be over
her head, the glowworni in the night cold
grass may be the only fire at her foot; but

Another “flying-machine” is threatened.
The inventor Is and M. Cook, an old elec-
trician residing near Mansfield, 0., who has
full faith‘in the ultimate ability of mankind
to navigate the air at will, and who has con-
structed an egg-shaped flying-machine of
sheet iron, eight by five feet at its greatest
diameter, which he proposes to propel by
electricity. He is now constructinga gene-
rater of 200 horsepower to carry out his
ideas, and claims to be able to govern it
as he pleases. It is said that- he entertains
confident expectations of sending travelers

Although the election is over the follow
ing extract of the closing speech of the
campaign delivered by Gem-ml Stewart L.
Woodford in Brooklyn Saturday evening,
is still good readingz—Rcferring to the re-
cord of the republican party, he said :
We know that the republican party was and
is the party of liberty. It so approved it.
self in the old days of struggle that ended
with our triumph in the first election of our
saluted martyr president. We know that
the republican party was and is the party
of loylty. It so approved itself in those
days of war that closed with the surrender
of Lee and the fall of the confederacy. We
know that the republican party was and is
the party of equal rights and of equal pro-
tection to all the citizens of the nation. It
so approved itself when it gave the billott
to the freedmen and forever wrote the result
of the rebellion in the amendments of the
constitution. ,It will so approve itself
whenever folly, prejudice, and passion
make it necessary for the nation to bare its
arm and protect its citizens. '
In concluding General Woodford referred
to the acknowledgment of our success as a
nation made by Mr. Gladstonein his recent
paper entitled “Kin Beyond Sea.” and said :
that kept the nation undivided. WOvae
won this success by the economy that has
sought to repair the waste of 'war. We
shall keep this success if we are still brave
enough, wise enough to'pay aawc promis¢d
and to keep credit unbroken and honor
nutarnished. The hand of courage gave
victory in war. The heart, of truth, the
brain of wisdom. and the :arm of labor shall
others falter if they will. They have falt-
ered before. Let others 'keep silent if
they will. They have kept silent beforc.
But for the republican party there is no
place except at the very forefront of this
battle for an honest dollar and for the
preservation of the nation's faith. For re-
publicans there is to-day no creed but honor
and no' watchword but honesty.
m
The Verdict.
It is a victory all. along the line. This
city has overturned Tammany. The State
has chosen an‘ Assembly overwhelmingly
Republican, has elected a Republican
Judge, and has sent twenty-two Republi-
cans to the next Congress 'in the place
of the seventeen in this one. Massachusetts
has buried General Butler. under an ad-
verse majority of 40,000. Pennsylvania
has handsomely reversed the Democratic
vote of last year, carried the Legislature,
and saved the United States Senator. Con-
necticut has secured her- Legislature, and
so ended the career of Barnum," the mule
buyer. New Jersey rescues the majority
of her Congressional delegation from the
Democrats, and so insures a Republican
vote, if the next Presidency should be thrown
into the House. .
It is all done, too, with the emphasis of
right positive votes. Edward Cooper is
Mayor of New York by a majority of.
nearly twenty thousand. L. P. Morton de-
feats Willis by 6,000. McCook is re-electcd
by 5,000. Chittenden goes back to stand
for hard money by an increased vote. In
the interior the majorities, especially for
Congressmen, are almost unprecedented.
The dispatches at 1 o’clock this morning
were talking of 4,000 majority for Hiscock,
3,000 for Warner Miller, the same for Wood,
2,500 for Dwight, 8,000 for Ketchum, and
so on throughout the State; while the
,_..,_. =..__._—_—_—__-.g _ .‘47 - » .
DIPHTHERIA Error-mm CAUSED BY Innuff‘fieglsmmr": Wm‘ih 13‘ 10301‘0039 the SUC'
cessor to Roscoe Conkling, is even more
heavily Republican than that which elected
him in 1872. The voice of the people
elsewhere is equally emphatic. Massachu-
setts defeats Butler by as large a majority
as she gave Hayes. Pennsylvania claims a
larger majority now than she gave in 1876.
Connecticut not only tells Barnum to leave
the Senate, but she sends Hawley Iback
to take the place Of a Dimocrat in the
House.
In one word, so far as the news has yet
reached us, the Republican masses have
everywhere come solidly into line once more,
as they always do when a real emergency
confronts them. They have ended the
apprehensions of those who feared the
Republican party was going to pieces. They
have laid the rising spectre of unrcsisted
Democratic control in Washington. They
have at least won handsome fighting ground
for 1880, and have probably enabled us to
enter upon that Presidential contest with
the advantage of position, and the chances
decidedly in our favor.
It is a splendid victory for honest money.
The platform and the canvass in New York
were as explicit as words could make them,
and Mr. Conkling's admirable speech at
Saratoga gave tone to the whole campaign.
The ringing hard-money speech Of Galusha
A. Grow at Oil City, at the very outset
of the Pennsylvania campaign, did the
same for that State. and next to Governor
Hoyt, Mr. Grow has been the speaker
most in demand throughout their canvass.
In Massachusetts the issue was yet more
sharply drawn, and will be long before
another man of power throws himself away
on the theory that Bay State voters really
prefer rascality in National finance. All
the more impOrtant victories yesterday
were won in a square fight for the National
honor, and against the lunacy or dishones-
ty of Greenbackers and their allies the
Democrats.
It is the public verdict about Fraud. The
cars of the country have been dinncd with
that cry long enough; the chosen President
of forty millions has been insulted at home
and the good name of the Nation has been
smirched abroad as long as the people are
willing to stand it. Voters have made up theii;
minds as to where the “Frau " was in
connection with the last Presidential elec-
tion. They have read the secret corres-_
pondcnce of Gramercy Park, and yesterday's
ballots tell what they. think of it.
It 1'3th public verdict on thecourae of the
.Democratic party inpower. The last session
of Congress showed what that party meant
to do. It was given just about rope enough
to hang itself, and it made the best possi-
ble use Of what it had.. Incoherent, ir-
responsible, ignorant, rapacious, wholly unfit
to govern, its recklessness has disgusted
that sober class Of voters who stand in the
independent middle line and decide elec-
tions. Their best judgment is shown in
the increased returns of Republicans to the
next House. ..
It is the Northern verdict on the altitude
oft/w South. Never was a defeated peOple
SO. generously treated; never did a victor-
ious Administration make such sacrifices to
coaciliate its enemies and promote harmony.
The. renewal of bulldozing in South Caro-
lina, Louisiana and elsewhere has been one
Southern response. The firm alliance be-
tween the Solid South and the dangerous
elements at the North for soft money and
raids upon the National Treasury, has been
another. The Northern people have seen .
these responses, and the vote shows that they
understood them.
. 0n the whole, the judgment Of the North-
crn peeplé' is that the destinies of the
country are still safest in. the hands 01 the
party that" freed the slave, preserved the
Ulliofl. and stands now the bulwark of the
National honor, and the champion of na-
tional finance; Yesterday’s work made
this judgment lain. We may now con-
fidently hope ”If... .1... work of 1880 will
make it plainer‘a am. For the first time

Autumn.
BY 0. M. II.
The Autumn leaves new the ground.
The solemn winds sigh through the wood;
Yet v0iccs murmur all around,
The Lord, our God, is kind and good.
What tho’ the whitliered leaves fall down.
And nature wears a funeral pail;
The trees will hear an emerald crown,
Bright Spring again will robe them all.
Our eyes may close ere Spring shall come,
Our forms'lie buried in the dust ;
Yet we through Christ may find a home
In glorious light, among the just.
Although death's winter long may reign,
Eternal Spring will surely bloom ;
Our dust shall start to life again,
And burst the fetters of the tomb.
Redding, Oct, 1878.
Under the Violets.
DY OLIVER WENDELI. HOLMES.
Her hands are cold; her face is white;
NO more her pulses come and go;
Her eyes is shut to life and light—
Fold the white vestures, snow on snow,
And lay her where the violets blow.
But not beneath a graven stone,
To plead for tears with alien eyes;
A slender cross of wood alone
Shall say that here ii. maiden lies
In peace beneath the peaceful skies.
And gray Old trees of hugelt limb
Shall wheel their circling shadows round,
To make the scorching sunlight dim,
That drinks the greatness from the ground;
And drop their dead leaves on her mound.
When o'er their boughs the squirrels run,
And through their leaves the robins call,
And, ripening in the Autumn sun,
The acorns and the chestnuts fall,
Doubt not that she will heed them all.
'To her the morning choir shall sing
Its matins from the branches high,
And every minstrel-voicc of Spring,
That trills beneath the April sky,
Shall greet her with her earliest cry.
When, turning round their dial track,
Eastward the lengthened shadows pass,
Her little mourners, clad in black,
The crickets, sliding through the grass,
Shall pipe for her an evening mass.
At last the rootlets ,of the trees
Shall find the prison where she lies,
And bear the buried dust they seize
=In leaves and blossoms to the skies,
1 80 may the soul that warmed it rise!
If ‘any, born of kindlier blood,
Should ask what maiden lies below?
Say only this: A tender bud.
That tried to blossom in the snow,
Lies withered where the violets blow.
What I Live For.
I live for those who love me,
Whose hearts are kind and true;
For the Heavens that smiles above me
And awaits my spirit too;
For all human ties that bind me;
For the task by God assigned me;
For the bright hopes left behind me,
And the good that I can do.
I live to learn their story
Who have suffered for my sake;
TO emulate their glory,
And follow in their wake:
Bards, patriots, martyrs, sages, -
The noble of all ages
W hose deeds crowd History’s pages,
And Time’s great volume make.
I live to hold communion
With all that is divine;
To feel there is a union
’Twixt Nature’s heart and mine:
To profit by afiliction,
Reap truths from fields of fiction ;
Grow wiser from conviction,
And fulfill each grand design.
I live to hall that season
By gifted minds foretold;
When men shall live by reason,
And not alone by gold:
When man to man united,
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall be lighted
As Eden was of old.
I live for those who love me,
For those who know me true;
For the Heaven that shines above me,
And awaits my spirit too;
For the cause that lacks assistance,
For the wrong that needs resistance;
For the future in the distance,
And the good that I can do.

For What They Yet Shall Be.
1854.
BY JOE]. SWAR’IZ, D. D.
See you my slender briar-rose,
My cactus, rough with thorn ?
Each in its coscy corner grows,
And on them both my hand bestows
Attention night and mom.
Poor children of my loving care,
They are not fair to see;
Yet they my fond attentions share
Not for the thing that now they are
But what they yet shall be
But mark, above my cactns‘ build, 4 w
So coarse, and thick, and green,
A crimson floral goblet stands;
And o'er. its rim, soft, silken bands,
Long, drooping, now are seen :
And on my brair-rosc, a crOwn
More royal than of queen.
What care I for the sharp thorns’ frowu,
Since now my roses’ lips of down
Part with a smile between!
0 ye who seek the barren heart
With graces to adorn,
And, while ye do the teacher’s part
With every kind and paticnt art,
Mark nought but wounding thorn;
Faint not, nor cease, nor weary grow
For ye shall yet behold-—
Though buds are bid, and ripening slow—
Between the thorns which grieve you so,
The richest flowers unfold!
