THE LATEST DISCOVERY.

As a public journalist we feel bound TO
keep our readers informed Of the progress Of
discovery, and the march Of improvement. =
The sagacious editor Of the Pennsylvania
has made most remarkable and important
development" 1t is that the Republican
party in Congress have laid deep and Of
course foul plot, for the purpose Of getting
means from the Treasury through their per
diem, to carry on correspondence. and send
out their " lbcllous publications" and the
Madsonian, too, to keep Congress IN session
and under pay until neat September! The
learned discoverer pours forth very proper
phial full Of indignation, which certainly ought
to arouse the Loco-focos in Congress, who
were before unwilling to unite with MIR. Clay
in adjourning at the earliest possible day. If
any should doubt the reality Of such plot, let
them look at the fact that the party accused
are in very decided minority, and Of course,
are capable, therefore, Of keeping Congress
in session as long as they desire!
The dscoverer did not allude to the fact,
that it is probable the majority in Congress
would be glad to have long parliament, that
the club Of officeholders who are associated
with Members of Congress in franking off
every description Of Loco-foco ware, might
the more fully profit by the happy monopoly
they enjoy Of the Postoffice, and the special
privilege Of franking more than two ounces.

THE ROAR FROM CONNECTICUT.

The delivery Of the northern mail yestcr-
day, was awaited with great impotence and
anxiety by both parties. The Loco-focos,
however, pretended 10 have the utmost conf
dence in their success, and by their bold ex-
pressions and loud Dragging produced. II must
be confessed, not little apprehension on the
part Of their opponents. When the real truth
was at length announced,a deeper shade came
over the eager countenanances Of the Loco
focos, than II has been their fate recently to
exhibit, while the Republicans displayed an
unusual degree Of grati6ation, which was
more than compensation for the anxiety
which the ofliceholders had previously ex-
cited.
The triumph is truly glorious one, and
one Of the surest presages of complete ulti-
mate success throughout the Union. 1t was
an enviable privilege, as we some time since
remarked, enjoyed by Connecticut. to open
the ball. and lead off in the grand succession
Of victories, which are to crown the efforts
of the friends Of Harrison and Reform, du-
ring the year 1910. 1t was privilege for
the freemen of Connecticut, to be the first to
viudica,e, in their persons, the confidence
Justly reposed in the virtue and intelligence
Of the people, and to the title American citi-
zens rightfully possess in the unmolested and
independent participation Of the fruits OF IL
berry and good government, and the pursuit
Of happiness.
When we saw the people of that State as
saulied by the immense power and patronage
of the Federal Gocernment--its missionaries
and lictors sent into their midst from the
north and the east, and the franking privilege
here especially devoted by numbers Of active
loco-foco partizans to the purpose Of satu-
rating the State with the poisinous tracts and
letters and libellous publications Of the party in
power, we were not without some misgiyings.
Still we had steady faith in the understand.
ing and virtue Of the people Of Connecticut,
which has been most amply justified by the
result.
Their noble conduct has increased our
faith in the ability and determination Of the
people to restore the Government to the re-
publican tack next November. Let the
friends OF Harrison and Reform every where
be stimulated by this example, and increase
their labors to establish truth amongst the
people, and arouse them to a united and effec-
tual effort to rescue the National Government
from the hands ofprofigates and spoilers.

The Hon. WADDY THOMPSON narrowly cs.
capped shocking death Oh the Petersburg Rail
Road, while OIL his way to Washington. Tile
Charleston Courier in speaking of the cir
cumstance says:
"When the Cars were within mile and
half of Petersburg, the snow was so deep in an
excavatcd part of the road. that il was believed
they cnuld proceed no further, and several
gentlemen got ont to walk to town, among
whom was Gen. Thompson. The cars were.
however, forced on. and while going pretty ra-
pidy, the locomotive propelling them, they
overlook Gen. Thompson, WIN being in the
middle Of the track, and neither seeing nor
being seen, lie wus knocked down. and the
whole train passed over him in stute oI insen-
sibiIity. We are truly happy TO add, however,
that although much bruised about the face, yet
twcnly-four hours after the accident, he was
deemed by surgeons and others to have re-
ceived no material injury; and twas expected
that he would bc able to proceed, with his fcl'
low passengers TO Washington. rs soon as the
weather should moderate and the road become
passable with safely. Gen. Thompson's brliis
cs were chiefly about the fnce, which was bli
ried in The SNOW, and must haye been cut by
the ice mud stones with which it came in con
tact. There was no indication whatever Of in
iury to his head; and although there was u lit
tie soreness about the knees, no bone was in
iured."
