MIR. J. II. PLEASANTS, THE DESPATCH
BEARER.

We thought yesterday that we could not
be mistaken in our recollection of Mr. Pleas
ants adventure with the dispatches. A pleas
ant thing it was, and pleasant thing il would
be-, certainly, if, on pretence of bearing des-
patches to some out-of-theway place, one could
always visit the capitals of England and
France, see the country, look at the lions, stroll
through the Parks and the Champs Elisees,
take beefsteaks at some London club house, and
wash down pates at Veray's, or oysters at the
Rocher de Caneal, with capital champagne, all
paid for by parental Government and allowed
by fond Secretary, while ones dispatches
not liable to be affected by the society or smell
of I" mechanics" and 50 on, were left to their
fate in the hands of some honest sea-captain,
along with bills ofhealth crew lists and clearan-
ces to be delivered safely, If the vessel should
safely arrive. So thought Mr.. Peasants, it
appears, and thus thinking, acted.
Not only is all this very nice and snug and
comfortable, but, thinking nobody knows any
thing about it, and that it is all forgotten,
it is positively delightful to come out and
give good scodng to other people for an
imputed, though by nomeans proved mistake OF a
similar sort, and while chuckling inwardly at
the good fun one has had with Unce SAINTS
money, TO assume the language OF a stern econo-
mist and patriot and show a vast deal OF vir-
tuous Indignation at even bare approach to a
suspicion of such msapplication of public
money.
A rebuke from Mr. Pleasant, about a
despatch bearer is certainly well in place, be-
cause Mr.. Peasants knows exactly how tricks
can be played on this service, and though him
self hardly model, may do, as the schcomas-
ter said, TO make an example Of.
Lest Mr.. Peasants should have forgotten his

to see how he '.snufls the tainted gale" when
mechanics come "between the wind and his

CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

Glorious Victory-Cider run Out--Hartford Blue
Ligh COnuention-Gone Coon-Bela Badger-Tip-
pecano and Tyler Too! The democrats have had
democratic election in the democratic State of Con-
neccut, at which the democrats assure their demo-
cratic brethren throughout these ant-demooratie u
nited States that the democrats of Connecticut have
eectected democratic Governor and democratic
Lieutenant Governor, and democratic treasurer,
and democratic lower house of the Legislature and
democratic upper house of the Legislature The
democrats are making great democratic rejoicing
over their democratic success, and they have the
democratic pleasure OF Measuring all democrats that
they have had democratic glory enough for one dem
ocrdtic day.
Before presenting the causes of the defeat of the
Wings in Connecticut we must stop to make an "a
pology to the democrats in not better succeeding in
the above attempt to initiate their style of writing.
We have performed our best, but must confess we
cannot manage to get the term democrat in thicker
than seventeen times in thirteen lines. Besides, we
can't comet on those fourishes and jimcranks worth
a cent. Please forgive
With regard to this defeat of the Wings, the Hart
ford Conrant says the opposition poed their whole
strength, while the Wings were most cupably in
different to their duty and remained at home. In
addition to this, four other very sufficient causes are
an entire independent ticket, Withdrawing large
numbers from the Wings, without any correspond
ing equivalent from the same circumstance taken
from their opponents. What few of abolitoniss
there are among the locos, seldom or never allow
their moral principles to conflict with their political
And when the two do come in contact, the former is
compelled to the latter-as was the case in the
reelection of Gag Atherton" of New Hampshire,
to Congress. The entire body of loco abolitionists
voted for him-gag-law and ALL
I'd. The [sO called Conservatives 7oted with the
opposition.
Sd. The Tyler men went against the Wings out
of spite to Mr.. Clay.
4th. Many Clay men avowedly stood aloof, to tes-
tify their contempt for captain Tyler.
How remarkably well ocoism always thrives a.
mid scenes Of anarchy, strife, confusion and reach-
cry. Such scenes its holidays--its food-s
life-its soul! 1t could no more relish the sober
enjoymens Of peace and order than Beelzebub
could conference meeting.
HARK Later accounts nsinuate suspicion that
the Legislature may yet be saved. Many towns,
said to be Wing, safe enough have not elected, and
they are to try it over again.

HOGAN AGAIN ARRESTED--ANOTHE
MLEOD CASE, AND ANOTHER CAUSE
FOR A WAR WITH GREAT BRITAIN

The following from the Rochester Evening Post
of Friday, is highly impor ant:
Last evening warrant was granted by Justice
8uchan of this city for the arrest of John Sheridan
Hogan, charged with having been one of the de-
stroyers of the Caroline, and of the party who killed
Amos Durfee and others.
Mr. Hogan, whose motions are said to have been
carefully watched, both here and in Canadh, was
speedily arrested just as he was starting for the
country in carriage; he having arrived in the Gore
a few hours before from Toronto
He was carried before Police Justice Warner,
and committed to Jail for further examination till
o'clock this afternoon.
Some persons express doubts as to whether he is
really the person, as he in some degree dsguis-
ed but if he actually is Hogan, his participation in
the Caroline outrage is matter of notoriety.
He behaved with spirit at the Police Office-ask.
ed no taUOrs-required no frends-but placed his
trust and confidence Sin the power of his country

The complainant was General Theller, and not
w. l.. Mackenzie, as has been wrongly stated.
We understand from several persons that love
affair has involved him in this difficulty, which is
very probable
P.S. Since the above was in type we learn from
the Boston Mail that Hogan has been released.

the following manner
II rejoice to hear of the fine spirit which prevails
IN North Carolina. and that the great Wing party Of
the State Is about to assemble in Convention for the
purpose OF celebrating on the present difficult and

which pervades every section of the union, and are
painfully visible in every leading interest, had rea

memorable struggle in 1910, that msrule would
cease and measures founded in wisdom and expert
ence would be adopted to restore the prosperity of
the nation. l need not say how cruelty, in some
important respects, all have been disappointed Our
actual condition may be described in a few words
Instead OF mutual confidence between the acting
president and Congress, there is mutual distrust-
Instead OF his throwing himself upon the principles
