 DEAR SlR:- Hartf6rd, Feb. 5, 1885.
 Your very interesting letter of the l2h was receiv ed several days since and the which have made of it 70" will have learnt f you shall have seen the Times. thought it too valuable 10 be los, The news Oi the election of Gayorne to lhe U. 5. Senate reached here 3y the New-York papers the mai, but your account was eo full and fresh posses great interest. The election of democraiic Sena- tor in Louisiana was wholly unexpected 10 me, it is Uind tan the Senate is safe oding the loss Ol Virginia, and the prObable loss of R. Island Mississippi trust will not disappoini hopes In relation to our own affairs they have undergone no great change, A, the Convention at Mddletow" there was good spirit and their proceedings went of very well. The old Ticket for State officers was re."ominaed and few good resolutions adopted ;-I delegates were appointed to the National Convention WelIes for this County. An address was approved which has since been published and should you see you will probably discover the hand of an old friend l of yours. Mir. Welies and Mir. Boies, the latter a delegate from this District were pu, on nll l.re mpor- ! pointed State Committee.

Phelps busy !" their in!rgues with the members bat appear have They have revived sheir scheme of getting up PTets, and have had several meetings of late: they may issue some numbers of Paper, but will not live three months al fartherest
 lfyam the Timesyou will have learnt that w ees has declined being candidate and whom shall u- nte upon know not. mean those opposed to LOom- bat if l.. cannot be kept ou' iu any other way. Wees ins'.ts on my yielding to he put up. This s most too much of sacrifice for me, especially as our party stands pledged District the State should succeed which will make this federal Dsiric,.
 News from all parts of the Saie is favorable and u"
 lees serious difficulties arise out of Inc Congressional this County and iD liich6elG there is good to believe that we shall triumph over whigRery.
 II. l.. Eilsw wor,h continues al Washington very modesy eeconeerng for office. Mir. Welles drew Up and got of the members of the State Conveniion to sign ii, addressed the President questing that should be appointed to any im- nor without the recommendation ofhe leading friends of the Admnis,r ,raton in the State. He enclosed the Letter to Mr. Hil io deliver the President think it will defeat the selfish schemes of Mr. E.
 leave the rest o the shee, be filled by Mr. Welles fl he s disposed to do it. Nyou see Wm. E. Seymour his father wishes you say him that his . J.M. NILES. AIY DEAR SsR:- .4 gladly improve the offer made by our friend Niles. 10 say how are you sir. Although there are ihoD. sa"d things thai would interest you could think Of them, none are in my mind.

 Tired myself of fighting battles when others receive the benefit and feeling that receiving only CUTS. es and kicks tor every sacrifice make. have made up my mind to retire from post where have abided all the sOrms that have beat for between inc and l ten years. The battle is good one. and Oaiy re- qures tO be followed up for three years longer 10 place things in the very best possible condMoD.- But have already thrown away ten years, without fee or reward.
