CONNECTICUT ELECTION


IL appears to be settled that the Who's of Con-
SEcrIcUT faeG 70 recover their power in that State
by carrying hSclections on Monday last. Our
latest reports represent that Governor SEYMOUR has
been reelected and that the Democrats have large
maJorities in both Houses of the Legislature, which
VIII enable them to elect United States Senator
fqr null term, commencing with the present Con-
gess TO NIL the seat formerly occupied by Mr..
BALDWIN. Last year there was Democratic ma
Jprlty IN the House, and Wing majority of three
in the Senate.
Other than political questions were brought to
bear on the election Of Monday. The most promi-
nent Of these was the I" Maine Liquor Law" by pre-
sentng some candidates favorable to the support of
which it appears that the Wings lost some Of their
strongest towns A portion Of the Democrats also
separated from their party this question: but their
numbers IRE said to have been comparatively few !;
which we can readily credit as it is not unusual for
them, aftei dividing the Wings on some extraneous
ISSUE to go to the polls and vote in body strictly
party grounds. Those manoouvres have been SO
of late years that it is surprising that they
can be any longer successfully practised

JARED SPARKS AND THE EVENING PosT.-Some
months since it was alleged by writer in the Even
ing Post that there was a large number of discre-
pances between the letters of Washington as edited
by Sparks, and the original, and that Mr. Sparks
had materially altered suppressed, and in some in
stances added to the original text from an imper-
feet appreciation Of his editorial functions The
same charges have been reiterated recently by Lord
Mahon, in his history of England. To these
charges, we now see, Mr.. SPARKS replies in letter
to the Post, denying them IN toto. The only alter
alton made in the letters published, he says, are
strictly verbal grammatical and he adds that in
this process he is not conscious that historical
fact the expression Of opinion, the meaning Of
sentence has, on any occasion, been perverted OF
modified. These alterations chiefly occur in the
private letters, which were written in haste and not
intended by the author for publication.
The more serious charge of making additions Mr..
Sparks pronounces to be entirely without founda-
ton. Mr.. Sparks publishes two letters from the
late Chief Justice MARSHALL who, from the fact of
having had the originals in his possession for seve-
raj years, and studied them minutely is more COM
petent to form correct judgment of the manner in
which they had been edited, and who speaks in the
highest terms of commentator of the volumes of

On the Expedition to JAPAN the Journal Of
Commerce remarks:
1--WE infer that it has something to do with the pro-
lection and aid of between San Francisco
and Shanghai in China. The japan Islands lie the
direct route Of vessels sailing between those two ports
and such vessels becoming numerous il is 10 be
expected that there will occasionally be wrecks and in
such the Japan Islands most likely to be the
land where the survivors will be compelled to seek re-
fuge In reference such cases. is important that
there should be such understanding with the japanese
that at least the unrortunate persons 20 cast
ashore upon it's coast shall be delivered up and not
sacrificed nor mmured in prison. detained in land
Of strangers These objects quite sufficient TO justify
the fitting out Of the expedition, even II there were no
other There is to believe that IT Is sent with
any hostile intent though it very probable IT may be
designed among other things rs an intmation TO the
Japanese Government that Sailors when cast away
there must not be treated pirates but as children Of
misfortune, deserving compassion and not brutality"
The Journal also says Of the action of the Phila-
delphia Annual Conference Of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, in laying the table series of reso
lutions in favor of the Maine Liquor Law:
This was wise decision, we have no doubt. The
clergy have wide field in their undspued possession
field wide enough and important enough to occupy all
their energeswithou prescribing the political
by which desired reforms should be brought about
When they preach temperance moral duty, they are
clearly within the limits Of their calling but when they
tell men how TO vote this or that question:
though II have bearing upon public morals they are
doing precisely what they condemn in Bishop Hughes
and what the aity very generally condemn both in him
and them"
