- Legislative.
The General Assembly of Connecticut
chuvcucd at. the new State House, at Hart‘-
fOTd. onlwcduesday last. Col. Dexter R.
“$.31“, pf ,Ncw Haven, was chcscn Speaker
of thc'Housc, and last. ytar’s Clerk was
chOsenirfbcth House and Senate, Gilbert
.W. Phillips,‘of Putnam, was elected Presi-
dent pro tem of the Senate, and on announce-
ment that there had been no election of Gov-
nrnoi:all(lOll1C1‘ State officers by the people.
the two Houses proceeded to elect the same
from tirose candidates who had received the
highest number of votes. On Thursday the
Senate met the House in joint convention
ror the inauguration Inf the Governor and
swearing in of the State officers.
Andrews and the full Republican
ticket were duly installed and the annual
message was read by Gov. Andrews to the
Assembly. 11 is a clear and comprehensive
document and touches on the subjects of
principle interest to the people of the State.
Tire Governor’s diction will receive greater
ngprecintion among the matter-of-fact farm:
crs and toilcrs of the State rather than among
those endowed with tastes for the refinements
of a higher scholarship. In composition it
id plain and direct even to bluntness, and has
little chance to be misunderstood.
Governor Andrews announces his staff as
follows: Ad j'rtant General, Edward Har-
land; Quartermaster General, Leverett W.
Wessells; Pegrnastcr General, Frank D.
Sloat; Conrorssary General, William H.
lulkiey; Surgeon General, Horace S. Ful-
State
" ler'.
Ashford, Charles T. Morse of New Haven,
Wilbur F. COO of Winsted, and Charles
Evarts of Salisbury.
Very great disappointment was felt and
quite warmly expressed. that Gov. Andrews
had omitted to place Col. H. W. R. Hoyt
upon his stall. Col. Hoyt was chairman of
the convention that had put the Governor in
nomination, had taken the stump and done
lrcreulcan work for the election of the ticket,
and the omission was, to draw it mild, a
political blunder, for but for the desperate
struggle put fortir in Fair-licld-County Gov.
A. would have have had no opportunity to
select a staff. It is confidently believed.
however, that the successful work. done in.
this county is likely. to receive a higher
- recognition.
TH E SENA'I‘OHSIH l'. .
All interests are thoroughly subordinated
to the one great question—“Who is going to
be our next L'. S. Senator '2” All the week
the surging columns of friends of the differ-
cut candidates, were exciting and excited by
alternate hopcs and fears. The most zealous
championing Of favorites, has not yet had
the effect to cause one single angry assault
or outburst," and a most remarkable state of
friendship and good will for all, seems to
have been maintained. And it: certainly is
a cause of rejoicing and not of anger that
Connecticut has so many sons deemed worthy
to wear the higir honors of national senator,
and although there are not more than five
prominent candidates, the names of those in
the background and waiting to ride in on the
“black horse" are legion. In fact the “black
horse" business is being f'earfully overdone.
.it the time 'thc Legislature adjourned.
Thursday evening the contestmay be said
to have been decidedly “mixed.” Marshall
Jewell had a decided plurality of the legisla-
rive vote, but not having a majority it was
difiicult to conjecture what combinations
might be or were most likely to be made
against him. Gen. Hawley, it was‘belicved,
had lost strength rather than gained, because
all the suspicious anxiety of the democrats
so freely expressed for his election. If it were
not that he is already inpossession of a seat in
the House, which place, in the event of being
made vacant, would be thrown open to the
uncertainties of another and more hotly
contested election, he would be the next most
formidable candidate. As it. stands, it iis
believed that Gov. Minor will be next 'to
Jewell, and‘that Plait will lead Harrison,
so that the final pinch seems very likely to
mme between Minor and Plait. Still all
‘lris may be changed before or at the caucus
(.1 be held on Wednesday evening. IIOn.
Henry B. Harrison isthe second choice of a
great many, and his elevated manhood and
:nvcrless abilities will be apt to. capture a fol-
! uring from among those not otherwise
securely committed. In the several county
("arouses and on informal ballotings there
1‘. ill be no end of scattering votes and candi—
dull-S. In Fairfield County, it is said at the
.Erst, there will be twofor Hawlcy, two and
‘1 rssibly three for Harrison, two for Treat,
one for Brewster, nine for P. '1‘. Barnum,
' rr-.i the balance for Minor. This will mate-
rially change, of course, as the county.wise
ballotings proceed. Gov. Minor-and I’. T.
Barnum will also have scattering votes all
over the st rte. The former has gained largely
outside the county, while many have signi-
ti l their purpose of voting for, the latter as
;. mmplimcnt to his conccdcdly great. business
in militics, his good nature and generous
: I . r 'rise, and to help swell his world wide
lulnr of having the ‘ best show on cart/I.” '
in .lew Haven County Plait is claimed to
have a full half-of. the Republican vote, S.
W. Kellogg five, and H. 13. Harrison the
balanc . llad pur friends in that county
been able ti:- havc solidly united upon one
candidate, their chances of success would
have been'bcsi. The fact that Hartford has
had two Ministers Plenipotentiary, thrcc‘
Cabinet Members and three U. S. Senators
since New Haven has had a Senator, is used
with damaging effect against’Hartford candi-
dates. What complicatcs the situation is
the attempt to play the present game so as
to determine the situation two years hence
when Senator Eaton’s term shall .have
expired. All in all it is a most interesting
and exhilarating, and up .to the present,
good natured struggle, and may the best Re-
publican for the Party, State and Nation win
the so much coveted prize. - .

The Cobb-Bishopmurder trial, in Nor.
wich, increases in interest, and rather sur-
passes the average dime novel in astonishing
situations, and nearly equals the' Beecher
trial in its lies. On Thursday. Mrs. ,Katc
Cobb was placed on the stand. and told a
very plausible story, declaring her entire
innocence ‘not only of murder but of the
other crimes charged against her. She says
her husband and Bishop were very intimat e'
friends, and Bishop’s wife had been her-
friend since childhood. Cobb was first
taken sick on New-Year's day, 1878. Bishop
furnished the household with groceries and
nearly everything- clsc, and was .there
almost constantly on business‘or visiting
with his wife. Bishop's wife died, but she
had nothing to do with giving her any poison.
'(‘ub‘i was often sick, but nearly always
nib-r Bishop hail prepared something for
him. She does not pretendto know that
Bishop poisoned him, but insinuates that l 8
may have done so. Sire denies pOSitiveiy
that she ever had an improper intimacy
with Bishop, and says his. stories are sheer-
falsehoods. A searching 'CI‘OSS examination _
did not shake her testimony. Bishop’s
cowardly attempt to Save himself by con~
vieting her, has disgusted everybody, while
her testimony surprises e public and
puts her case in a much 1) er light' than
before. '

for the past six months and the statement
shows an increase in both gross assets and

as a business is much depressed, but the man-

how to find profits in the business, and they
start the new year with clean assets amount-

We are not called on now to tell all we

in a highminded consciousness that personal
character is superior to all the positions of
life; and he has sought to promote the good
of his state rather than the lesser good of one '
politcal portion of it. In our long line of
governors ire has highly maintained the dig-
nity of the ofiice and, what is quite as impor-
tant, the simplicity of it. In our good old
theory, the governor is a gentleman and :1 mt-
izcn, clothed with authority for 3 time, but.
with no call to make a display or be person—
ally conspicuous. it has sometimes been said
that Governor Hubbard carried this vrrtne
too far in his natural reluctauceto ceremony.
We like the old ways, howovcr, and have
only to repeat that Richard D. Hubbard has
been an excellent governor, and by his pres-
ence in the office lrasincrcascd the good name
of his state among its sisters.

Congressmen are dying so fast that» there
must be some speCial cause for it, and by
many it is attributed to the defective venti-
lation of the House Natural light and air
are carefully excluded, and thecffect of .the
deprivation rapidly tells upon the constituv
tion of all but the strongest, and compels
many to imbibe more alcoholic beverage
than is good for them—Palladium.
There is without a doubt something con-
nected with the conditions of the two Halls
.of Congressf detrimental to health. They
are metalic coffins, in practical effect, all the
natural sun‘rays and air being rigidly exclud-
ed and the latter pumped in' and withdrawn
by machinery. It is a fearful architectural
blunder, and certainly detrimental to health.
In the Senate, there have been Senators
Nye, Ferry, Cattell, Wilson, Colfax, Morriil,
of Maine andothers stricken with attacks of
Blaine and Ma y, and others have been
similarly effected. The death of nine mem-
bers of the present Congress, of form within
a month, ought to lead to an examination 'of
this vital subject.
When the sirbjectOf license legislation

derived from the old systemof a license tax.

According to' the Bridgeport Farmer,
"‘Sport," the great American hero, is an im-
postor and a fraud. William Canfield, who
was with him during his famous Bridgeport
walk testifies that be marked Sport twenty
milcs extra every morning, run about ten
miles every night for him while he was sleep-
ing, and that Sam Merritt was also running
for him in the same rnatch,—all counting on
Sport's record. W. D. Cook also testifies
that he saw the scorer mark Sport up ten
miles on the last day's walk. Now, boys.
that bubble is prickcd, and you might as well
ccasc putting faith in such fellows as Canfield
and stop distorting yourselves “a. lff/ Sport."
Why not go to the other extreme now, and
try to imitate some person who has brains
and can set you a high and noble example?

Governor's Message.
' The message of Gov. Andrews is of about
the usual length of such documents. -lIe
(commences by accepting machine ’.v'with
gratitudsfto the people, with hdeép'sense
of'the_rtsponsibllity which,“ brings. He
welcomes the legislators to the' new capi—
t)‘, and congratulates the State upon its
near completion, is pleased with its beauty
and considers it everyway satisfactory. A
gratifying circumstance is the fact that it
will be completed at a cost wit'rin the origi-
nulchtimatcs.
He thinks the resumption of specie pa)“-
rncnts will have a beneficial influence on all
our industries, and predicts a revival of busi-
ness and the return of prosperity. .
He appmves the, joint rules appointing a
committee on engrossed bills, and thinks too
much care cannot be taken in making copies
and thinks it would be still better to print
the bills instead of engrossing them.
He approves the action of the lastlegiss
lnturc in regard toa provisional adjourn-
ment, and lbinks- ita good plan to follow
acting only on matters presented by the
governor after rca'ssembling. “He concurs
with Gov. 'ilubbard in desiring a tirorough
reunion of the joint stock laws. He also
agrees with Gov. Hubbard in regard to
Probate courts. '
11c approves minority representation on
.boards of selectmen &c., and wohld have
it extended to include, as far as possible, all
offices and all parties. . ' .
He suggests several changes in the laws
in regard to the property of married women,
in imates that women of property should be.
permitted tovote in city, town, borough
and school meetings, because they are
taxed.
He next discusses State Taxation, and
then gives the following condition of the
State finance:—
sru‘n FINANCES.
The treasury balance at the begin-
ing of the year was ......... .95 732,414 33
Income for the year... ....... 1,652,270 31
Making an aggregate of ........ . . $2,384,984 64
The expenditures for the same
year, including $9,000 state'
‘bonds redeemed were.....-. ...... 1,542,612
Balance to credit of new year S 842,372 11
This apparently .large balance may be
misleading in that there is in‘cluded in it
about $600,000 of taxes paid in the month
of November, and which will be needed to
meet expenses for the current six months
The total amount of receipts'ovcr expendi-
turcs is $109,957.79. Only .the sum of
$9,000 of the state indebtedness has been
paid. 3 '
The estimated income for the
current-fiscal year is............$1,556,200 00
The estimated expenditure is... 1,530,946 00
The estimate bf income over ex—
penditure ..... . ........ . ....... 23,354 00
These figures do not include the above
balance to credit of new year.
tax for the year has been one and one-half
mill on the dollar. . .
The number of convicts in the state prison
on the 30th day of Noycmber last was 278.
Tire income of the prison for the past: year
has been $30,951.89. The expenses for the
same term, $32,369.09. 133" these figures
- the deficiency appears to be $1,417.20.
‘1 am informed that there are some classes
of artisans in‘ the State who greatly fear
that. the labor of the convicts in the prison
will be so applied as to do great injustice
to them. They will ,ask you for some leg-
islation. I- confess to so little knowledge on'
the subject of prisOn management that 1do
not feel competent to give advice. Ican-
not, however, resist the feeling that the
labor of the prisoners can'be utilized in some
form that will not discriminate unjustly
against the labor of hOncst men.
There are 267 boys in the Reform school—~
average during the year 250. He thinks the
school has been conducted too much as a
prison for the punishment of its inmates and
too little as a school for instruction and re-
fOrur. Tire Industrial school for girls at
)Iiddletown has 130 inmates, and seems to
be successful, and is an agency that the Sum
cannot afford to neglect. .
He suggests that there be no lack of legis-
lation to preserve the integrity of every in-
surance company and to keep their reputa-

The public schools of the state are in a

the number of children between the ages of
four and Sixteen‘was 138,407; the number of
children in- public schools was 119,803; the

The Connecticut Hospital for the Insane
at Middletown has for several years been
crowded to its utmost capacity; At the end
of the year there were 481 patients in it, of
which number only twenty-sevenzwere pay-
ing patients. From year to year the number
of poor insane people seeking admission to
the hospital has constantly increased.
He speaks advisedly of the necessity for
some reform in our modes of legal procedure
a subject which will commend itself in these
days of tardy litigation. He says, “By all
means do away with continuanccs, certainly
after the first term. It seems to me that a
wise system of costs would adapt its pay-
rncnts to the progress of the cause; in other
words; that a certain sum should be payable
each time the cause advances one stage, as at
the entry of the action; when issue is joined;
and at final judgment. Let it be fixed in
some way so that costs shall be aspnr to dili-
gence and not a premium to delay."

THE SCHULTE MURDER.
The inques on Saturday {was confined to
tracing up some money received by'different
parties, salesmen and others in .Eouth Nor-
walk and vicinity. Sevqml bills we traced
back to Buchholz the object being apparent—
ly to show that it belonged to Schulte and
was some of the effects of the murder. After
the adjournment which was made to next
Monday, Buchholz was formally committed
to Bridgeport jail by justice of the peace W.
S. Bouton. The German Consul Mr. Scim-
makcr,. 'as present from New York watch—
ing the proceedings, and the cOnvictiou is
now pretl y strong that_thc origin of the crime
was in Germany; that a censpiraéy was
formed there or a party-hired to follow
Schulte by person or persons there who
might be benefitted by his decease. Tire
Consul on being interviewed said: “The
truth is that all persons yet mentioned in
connection with the murder are Germans in
the true scnse’of the word. They are not
American citizens and cannot even speak
English. it is my duty therefore to see
what there is in all these reports that I have
heard arnl read. They are not even natural-
izcdcitizens, and the German. government
punishes a German for having committed
murder“, no ma'tter wherethe crime he locu-
tsd. Imay possibly exceed my authority,
but I know the government. at Berlin will up-
prove of the deep interest I take in this
case."
The New York Herald reporters any of the
discoveries .madc in looking over Schulte's
papers on last Saturday, that “A theory
often breached before ‘but never traced was
followed up and it became evident that even
in the old fatherland there existed deep-seated
enmity toward the man who was killed with-
outa moment’s warning in the grounds ad- '
joining his farm at Roton Hill; Experts
schooled in German chirograp‘ny, examined
carefully the memoranda, diaries, statements
and other books left behind by the murdered
Schulte, and it was ascertained that three
days before Schulte embarked for America
he was fired at twice on ,his own farm at
Dortmund, in westphalia, and ‘ the man
charged with investigating the matter re-
ported that the son of Schulte's own brother
the very man who so aviously telegraphed
. about" the fate which had befallen Johann
Schulte, was detected among the party who
made this unprovoked attack. The. murder-
ed man was an eccentric, queer individual,
who made notes not only of his expenditures,
but of-ali events that occurred round about-
him. The following is a translation of a
memorandum found in Schultc’s diary writ-
ten in German, bearing on this subject: “On
September lst (Sunday morning) at seven
o'clock, a man followed by four other per-
sons, all having the appearance Of hunters,
accompanied by dogs and carrying their guns
fired into my (Schulte's) former bed-room.
Schulte (the writer constantly speaks in the
third person of himself throughout his diary)
was still in bed. These men repeated the
same and fired again into that room. At
about 9 o‘clock in the morning they went
through the adjoining wood, and also to a
potato plot near by, and _made all sorts of
movements as if to give the, impression that
they were, hunting; but there was no game
anywhere. Mr. Becker has investigated this
matter and inquired all he could about it,nnd
he has ascertained that the son of Schulte,
my brother, from Barup, Hanover, was
among the party.“ _ _ ' ,
The Consul General when questioned in re-
gard to these matters, declined to give litter-
ancc to any ideas ire had formal on tiis
subject, but it is well known here that cable
messages irave passed to and fro between
New York and Berlin in regard to this mat-
ter during the past few days. The private in-
terview held between State Attorney Olm-
stead of Fairfield County, and the Consul
General at New York, on .Thursday, adds to
the importance of the clcw which the author-
ities are now following up, and if I am not
mistaken European detectives are to-day
watching the arrival out of steamers hav-
ing .on board the three murderers whose
tracks the American detectives have thus far
been unable to trace on this side of the At-
lantic.”

The New Haven Health Officer make the
following reference in his annual Report to
the prevalence of ' ’
DIPHTHERIA
during the year. This is everywhere recog-
rrizedasafifth disease—i. e., as being far
more prevalent and more certainly conta-
gious and fatal where dirt abounds con-
spicuously or where the air is poisoned by
the foul efiluvia of hidden cesspoois, or ill
constructed drains. While on the other
handthis disease seldom appears and still
more rarely spreads where cleanliness pre-
vails and the laws of- hygiene are observed.
The roll of the dead from diphtheria during
_the year numbers nearly sixty names, while
the' survivors from it are doubtless still
more numerous. Your reporter has visited
personally many of the homes of its victims,
andabout most of them there wassurely
occasion enough to justify the appellation of
filth disease, and also to confirm the belief
that timely and proper attention to the
neglected drains, cesspools and like collec-
tions of filth would have prevented the oc-

New Year Calls—Addenda.
In the pleasant New Year article furnish-3
ed us last week by a correspondent, the
author, of course, mentioned 'those “places
which came under his own personal knowl.
'edge.‘ Tire article was written somewhat
hastly, during many interruptions, and com-
ing to us late on Monday, when we were
over pressed with business, was- hurried
into type without an opportunity for ad-
ditions or corrections. In lookingit over
we find, many omissions, and therefore
desire to add the following list of ladies who
“received” on that day:—, '
At. cx-Mayor Samuel Dnskams, East

the Misses Wilcox, Mrs. Burr Knapp, and
probably‘many others whose names we were
unable to obtain.
General M. A. Picasanton, in an article on
the battle of Gettysburg in the Philadelphi—
Weekly Times, says: “Had General Meade
followed Lee on the 4th of July the surren-
der ‘of Lee would have been unavoidable.”
\Ve have not a doubt of the truth of the
above statement. On thatpmcmorable day
we personally pushed on in advance Of our
army and plainly saw the enemy a disorgan-
ized mob in that horse shoe circle of the Po-
tomac at Wilhamsport, the river in‘a freshet
and they pushing themselves across as best
they could on rafts made of stolen lumber
from an adjacent timber yard. We hastened
to the nearest telegraph station and dispatch-
ed to the Tribune the condition of the army,
which that paper published in its afternoon
edition with an editorial prudently intimating
a doubt as to Lee’s army being in such a de-
.moralized condition as its correspondent
supposed. We also telegraphed President
Lincoln and Secretary Welles, as was our.
custom, the exact situation, and supposing
our own army could not fail to come up, we
too confidently, informed the latter that the
Whole remnant of the rebel army was ours.
Secr‘etary Welles subsequently told us that he
never, during all the vicissitudes of the war,
saw Mr. Lincoln so much disappointed and
cast down as when he found Lee hpd re-
crosscd the swollenl’otomac without any
effort to capture or even harrass his flight,
The President’s moods of greatest sadness
seemed most provocative of his inevitably
and comical illustrations, and when General
Meade came down to see him after the great
battle, he smilingly said, “General, do you
know what you made me think of when you
let Lee get away and over the river 2"” On
receivi'nga negative response, be instantly
added, “I couldn’t think of anything but an
old woman shoving her ducks across a
,pond.” . 4

A Good Bcusonfor Happiness.
0n the 13th of September, 1876, a man of middle
age and gentleman] y appearance—his face beam-
ing with pleasure—entered Dr. Kennedy’s_otiice
and inquired of the patients in waiting if the
Doctor was in. Being answered ip‘the affirma-
tive. he took' a chair to await his turn for an
interview. In due time the Doctor reached the
stranger and said: “Well. my good friend, what
can I do for you?” Wherenpon the stranger repli-
ed: hMy nameis Washington Monroe. I live in
Catskill, Green county, N. Y., and have come to
Rondouti’dr no other purpose than to see and

the facts of my case in as few words as possible.

which the physicianswirom I cfinsultcd concern-

out obtaining any permanentreirefmnd fora long
time my case was regarded hopeless. All who
knew the circumstances stud I mustdic. Finally,
my wile induced me tc try a bottle of your Favor-'

of, or seen advertised. Without the slightest.
truth in it, but solely to gratiiv her, I bought a.
bottle of a druggrst in our Village. I used that
and two or three bottles more. 31111-10 make a
