The Spring field Republican says We are Oa
to recorl that the disgraceful divorce seekers at NeW
Haven, Connecticut, are not of New England birth. Bev*
0. B. Judd, LL.D., is a New York Democrat, who derived
his legal title from one of that State's county colleges. Ile
was seriously accused of disloyalty in New Haven, and
his brief ministry there did not benefit the church which
employed him. His wife was the widow of a Now York
lawyer, and now lives in that city. The details which
attract an audience of as many women as men every day
ought to be summarily ended for the good of the public.
" W. W. Rice, of Worcester, Massachusetts, and
George W. Johnson, of Brookfi,:ld, were chosen delegates
to the Chicago Convention, and Major E. P. Halstead, of
Worcester, and John S. Mead, of Milford, alternate in
at the Eighth District Convention held in Worcester,
April 21.

"The result of the late Connecticut election via°
officially declared on Monday, April 27, and gives Go-
vernor English 1,757 majority in a vote of 99,318, a gal°
over last year of 787 in his majority, and of 5,175 in the
whole vote. The Senate will stand twelve Republicans
to nine Democrats, a Republican gain of one, and the
House 128 Republicans to 110 Democrats, a Republican
gain of four."

The J\'ew York World thus compares the mili-
tary expenditure of the United States with that of Great
Britain :—" The present strength of the British aril*" ie
136,650 men, and the entire sum asked for their support
for the ensuing year, for all military expenses of whatso-
ever character, for the repairs of fortifications at home
and abroad, transportation, pensions, and all other ea'
penditures, is £15,455,400, or $77,277,000 dollars. At:
operation in simple arithmetic will show that the cee"
of each soldier i, £ll3 per year, or about 565 dol-
lars. It is not really so much as this, since ill
this estimate of expense is included the appropria-
tion for pensions, which is nearly one-seventh of the whole
amount, and we do not include our own pension list In
the estimate we have made in the cost of our own army'
But the comparison we are making is sufficiently startling if
the cost of the British soldier is stated at the highest,
figure and that of the American soldier at the lowest
one. The British army estimate is made up as follows v.
Pay, food, clothing, and hospital service, £10,216,000'
stores and transportation, £1,491,000 ; fortifications, bar'
racks, &e., £968,400 ; non-effective services, £2,124,800;
military education, £655,200—t0ta1, £15,455,400. 11-114,
for this sum ac army of 136,650 men is kept in the highest
state of efficiency. Now let us look at our own figure'
When Secretary M'Culloch submitted his estimates 10r
the ensuing financial year, last December, he placed the
expenditures at something over $94,000,000. Now the
actual exp enditure is, as we have repeatedly shown, 'veil
much greater, greater by fifty per cent. in all probability ;
but we take Secretary 14 'Culloch's estimate that tiler.
may bo no possible cavil, and not the real expenditule
which Mr. Greeley dares not ask for and which the Eull4l
dare not state to their constituents. These amended esti-
mates of the Secretary were based upon a reduction of the
army to a force of 50,000 men, which is more than we no°
have in the service, and they were made up as follows
For the army proper, $37,511,512 ; arsenals, ‘"''
$1,093,`202; Military Academy, $335,012; fortifica-
tions, $580,000; improvements, $6,697,500 ; public
buildings and grounds, t 51,423,770 ; 847,592:996'
And this is ti» soul required fur maintenance of an awry
nominally composed of 50,000 men, but which really (lode
not number 40,000 effective soldiers. If the comparison
were made az, strictly as it might be, it would be found
that the cost of a soldier iu the United States is fully
double or treble what it is in Great Britain. But it is bad
enough as we have stated it. Nine hundred and fifteen
dollars for a soldier in the United States, of which the
soldier himself receives $lBO, and $565 for a soldier in
Great Britain, of which the soldier himself gets $147
The Springfield Republican says :—" The Episco-
pal bishop of New York is troubled with another centv
macious rector. Rev. D. R. Brewer, of the Church of the
Reformation in Gates avenue, has shown his sympathy;
with Mr. Tyng in several ways, since the bishop's admen..
tion. First, by taking a seat in a Methodist conference;
second, by announcing his readiness to preach in any ge;
thodist church to which he may be invited ;
thirdly, by inviting clergymen of different denomina-
tions to occupy seats within his chancel, and to tate
part in his services. At the communion sortie©
on Good Friday he had within the rails, and assist
ing in the services of the occasion—which are represented
to have been vary impressive and solemn—Dr. Waterbury
and Rev. Mr. Gleason, Congregationalists; Dr. Duryee'
Presbyterian ; Rev. Messrs. Buckley and Howe, Meth°.
dists, and Rev. Messrs. Thrall and Gallagher, EpiscoPn_
liens.

The Italian journals publish the following letter'
addressed by Mr. Seward, Secretary of State, to
Marsh, the American Representative at Florence :*"
" Washington, April 10, 1868.—1 have received your cle-o
spatch of March 22, enclosing a copy of a note address°
to you by Gen. Garibaldi. The General says:-4I lear/1
from our friends that Mr. Seward has done me the bone'
to cite my name among those of the agents of the great Be;
public. As I have never had that honour, I beg of you ti
intercede with him to get it effaced.' I have ascortaiue'"
by an examination of the archives, that the rectification
which the General calls for is perfectly correct. The 85p
sertion to which it relates was founded on an incoa o°l
and erroneous extract from a correspondence exchange"
between the American Government and Garibaldi. Care
will he taken to give correction as much publicity as the
incorrect statement which gave rise to it. You will
pleased to convey to the General a copy of this despste7
together with the expression of my regret for the
vertence, and the assurance of nay deep respect 53'
esteem.—W. 11. SEWARD."
The Legislature of Massachusetts sustained the
report of the Judiciary Committee by 119 to 74, on thcie
29th April, against the petition of Olympia Brown OA
others, for the right of suffrage for women. It was notice'
that the advocates of the measure yearly increase i°
number.

According to the Owl, the .transfer of the terri'
tory of the lludson's Bay Company to the Governorto3

Mr. Richard Grant White, according to the
