CoNSEcTIcUr ELEcrIoN.-The election in thi.
State has resulted trumphantly in favor of the
people. The New Haven Palladium (the editor
of which has been elected State SENATOR says
Hardly enough of the opposition legislative an
didates are elected to form an imposing minority.
1t would appear that at least two-thirds of the
Representatives elected, and all but one or two
of the Senators are Anti Administration, and
mostly Know Nothngs! TINS IS VIcroRY OF
THE PEOPLE equal to any of their former triumphs,
and it is well deserved. Connecticut wheels into
the line of confirmed opposition to an Admins
tration that is as unworthy Of the confidence and
support of the people as any that has held the
reins of government in many years. Its great
fault is that it is SOLD TO SLAVERY. A thorough
anti administration, anti slavery, anti-rum ma
jority is secured in the Legslature--together with
FOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS Of the same
quality. ~.
The Democrats elected only one Senator out Of
twenty one, and but one-third of the Representa-
tives. Woodrnlf's majority for Congress, is up
wards of 1000. He is Wing and Know Moth
ing. Such tremendous political tornado never
passed over Connecticut before. '''t
RHODE IsLAND.-Little Rhody is not behind her
neighbor Connecticut, having routed the Demo
cratic candidates for Governor and Congress, by
5000 majority. We have already announced that
the Wings of Iowa have cleared the track. So

THE SHERIFF OF RAMSEY COUNTY BOUND
OVER IN THE SUM OF
lOOOy

We alluded yesterday, to the fact, that the
Sheriff of Ramsey County had been arrested on a
complaint of MIR. Secombe of st. Anthony, charg-
ed with violating the law in not making due set
tlement with the County Treasurer. He appear
ed before Justice Bostwick, of st. Anthony, on
Tuesday, and without examination, was bound
over in the sum of $4,000 on each charge. First
For failing to pay over to the County Commits
sioners on the first Monday in January, such sums
of money as he had collected, and Second-for
failing to make settlement with the Commits
sioners on the first day of February, as specified
in the Statute. 1t will be remembered that he
did not settle until the 10th day Of April. Messrs.
Stanchfeld and Joseph P. Wilson, one of the
County Commissioners, were his bondsmen in
both cases. The matter now goes to the Grand
Jury of Ramsey County, who, if they find true
bill against Mr.. Frdley, he will have his trial.
There are some cases, we think, in which it is
much better to be ''fool than knave.''
The conduct of Coroner Castner and Louis NJ.
Olivier, ESQ.,, in this matter, is deserving of all
praise. They could neithc: be bought, coaxed nor
driven. Let this be remembered.

About two weeks ago Mr.. Mclean, Couu'

Arrison, who is confed in 0 cell in the ffont
building of the jail, directed 10 Oliver Craig,
who is confined in the main jail. 1t appears
hatthrough the agency of an invalid member
OF the chain-gang, who was allowed The Tres
range of the yards correspondence took place
between Ariison and Craig. In the inter.
cepted letter Arrison says that he had a bold
project for escaping from the jail, and that as
his case was q desperate one, they must resort
to desperate means. He further says that he
expected Two OF his brothers here in q few
weeks, and that he depended more upon his
younger brother, the older being a man Of no
energy. The plan Of the escape was not laid
down; but from the strict watch kept over both
parties, there was and is but little chance Of
either of them leaving their quarters, unless
by due process Of law.-Cin. Eng.

Some eminent jurists in Pennsylvania, EN-.

Judge Woodward, have given written opinions
TO The Governor OF Pennsylvania, founded upon
the testimony, favorab lie TO a pardon of Dr..
Bedle, the Philadelphia dentist who was
convicted of On outrage upon the person Of
Miss Nudge, while the latter was under the
influence of chloroform. Judge Black, in CIV
ing his opinion, says:
"But is it not clear that the conviction is on
errorl An honest error Of course, but still an
error. Think, for a moment. This man is
convicted of an infamous and most ~atrociou,

Difficult, 10 believe The accusation, when we
reflect on the conduct Of both parties before

The Collins Line ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Of Congress.

The New York Tribune, in the course of a
strong article denouncing the passage, by
Congress, of a law giving 10 the Collins Line
an immense bonus from the public treasury,
forcibly says:
"Now, if Congress had thrown away th is
vast sum in a freak Of generosity or folly we
might have regretted The waste of money, but
we should not be called to deplore q still
more grave calamity. The evil iu this case is,
that Congress was not deluded-.i II was cor
rupted. Where the money came from we do
not legally know-we can only give a Yam
kee guess-but that money passed this bill
money not merely expended on borers and
wheedlers, and the usual oyster cellar appli-
ances oflobby legislation-but money count
ed down into the palms Of members Of Con-
gress themselves-thiS is as clear as the noon
day sun. Members who but few months
ago were breathing out threatenings and
slaughter against the Collins job have now
spoken. canvassed and voted for the still more
extravagant provisions Of the bill Of this SEES
sion.

at gives US no pleasure to speak of these
things. We would gladly bury them in obliv-
ion, but for the certainty that the fearful pre-
cedent established in this case will work i'm.

When members of Congress are bought ant

corruption will soon icfect the whole atmos-
phere Of the metropolis; speculstors will la,
their plans for getting millions out OF thu

requisite TO buy their bill through the two
Houses. Then any affectation Of virtue OF
the part OF members whose votes are 10 be hat

ais are to be benefited, without subjeclinI
