Connecticut Election.

In old times, when there was no Tele-
graph and no Railroad between this City
and New-Haven, we used to arrange our
expresses in and from that State so as to
have the returns from two thirds of the
towns in our office within ten hours from
the close of the Polls, and so tell how the
State had gone in our next mornings paper.
But never since we have had two or three
Telegraphic lines through that State have
we been able to give clear account of any
Election the morning after lite occurrence;
and, since the State has been all chequered
with Railroads centering on our City, we
are unable to give the result in full even
the second day. We must contrive way
to reform this.
This year we relied mainly on the ar
rangements made by associates in Tele-
graphing, who seem to have consorted en-
tirely with the Loco Foco concerns at
Hartford and New Haven, and so sent on
Election night only the worst news for the
Wing party. We had early returns from
all the Cotton holes in the State, with ac-
counts of Loco. Foco triumphs here and
gains there, but nothing to show the strong
counteracting gains made by the Wings of
other parts of the State, which more than
overbalance the prematurely boosted sue
cesses of our adversaries. The general re-
suit throughout the State ShOl0s WHIG
GAIN from last ysar-of that, we are con-
fident, though we do not yet know, owing
to the utter arrangement of all the Tele-
graph lines by last nights tempest, which
party has the State. All depended on the
result of the secondary elections to fill
vacancies in the House, which took place
yesterday amid raging storm, and from
which we have, at this present writing, no
single word. But on the returns of the
first day the Wings gained in the House,
gained in the Senate, gained 1--WE are con-
fident) Charles Chapman over and in place
of Loren p. Waldo to Congress, and we
trust have reelected Thomas B. Butler in
spite of the Cotton treachery in Bridge
port and its environs. Our adversaries
have reelected Chauncey F. Cleveland by
the Abolition vote, without which ne
would have been beaten out of sight, and
chosen Colin M. Ingersoll in place of
Booth by the Cotton diversion in New
Haven and vicinity. (All is fish that
comes to their metz We cannot say how
the State Officers will be until we have
seen the result of the ond-day elections,
but we believe the Wings have at least an
even chance for them, and more than an
even chance to return Roger 5. Baldwin
TO the u. S. Senate. Is that result TO
cry about in these timesl Here are such
additional details as have reached us;
Hartford Congress District.
We have returns from all the towns in the DIS

give the following aggregates:

Fairfield and Ltchfeld District
Our returns from Fairfield, which lies at our
door. are more defective than those from any other
mart of the State. We have enough, however, to
show that the vote for Governor is very nearly
even, and it appears that Mr. Butler rams ahead
of Foster Litchfeld has given small Wing
msjority for Governor-ssy 200. Unless Butler
