The Connecticut ELECTION.

Sam had "a time OF hn with the large foreign
vote In the Connecticut manufacturing towns but
had easier work among the farmers, The New
Haven journal says
The foreign vote on Monday was tremendous,
and ought to alarm our thinking citizens, who arc
practically governed by one thousand or twelve
hundred persons Of foreign birth, who can be moved
in mass by the dictston Of the Democratic leader,
and with the assistance Of less than one-third the
native-born voters, override and govern the other
two-thirds. II Is astonishing that Wings who have
year after year complained Of the influence Of this
foreign vote-who have been beaten by u every
time they were beaten--should now turn round,
a. many did on Monday, and vote the Democratic
ticket, side by side with their foreign-born oppo-
nents.

Heads OF Bureaus, take warning!

" Ii may be well for US TO caution the heads OF

from puppy, to worry clerks, chained at each en-
trance during Office hours, would probably be the
best plan to effect the purpose. These, in addition
to time tables, reporters, spies, and the sweet
whisperings of private malice would answer, and

The SLAVE QUESTION IN CUBA-The Cronica,

different and probably more correct, version Of
the debate in the Spanish Cortes on the Cuban
slave question from that we have received through
European sources. According to La Cronics, the
Minister Of State, N. Luzurisga, said
"When the question Of slavery Is discussed, our
sentiments Of humanity, and other considerations
inscpMable from that idea, are excited. But Il is
necessary 10 keep In view another consideration,
and that Is, that the island Of Cuba cannot con

more, cannot hope that II win be extnguished.
Therefore, her Msiestys government Is resolved TO
