An instance of personal zeal and laborious perse- verance connected with the late election is worthy of record. The Rev MT. Dickinson, who oficiates in the Methodist Church at Georgetown in the East i ern margin of Bedding spent, the last Sabbath in New York intending to return in season to vote in the town of Bedding on Monday. Accordingly lie arrived at Norwalk in the morning train intending to reach Georgetown by the cars for Danbury but whilst he was too long detained in conversation with friends at Norwalk the locomotive started off and left Mir. D. behind. His friends at Georgetown who expected to convey him some miles to the place of voting in Bedding, were disappointed at his non- arrival and gave up his intended vote for Ferry as lost :; but not so Mir. D. He believed in persever- ance to the end. He put forward on foot. hoping to catch a ride now and then-but as he trudged along he found that every horse and wagon in tn t part of the country had gone to the election before him. Suffice it to say, that at about O clock in the afternoon his friends espied Mir. D. making to- wards them, sweating like tireless war horse having walked seventeen miles to deposit his vote Bridgeport Standard. ------~-~> s-~--

 THE CASE OF MRs HARruNa-No CoMMurArIoN I-AHany, April 7.-Gov Morgan to-day addressed a letter to William J. Hadley Esq., counsel for Mrs Hartunp rpf1Sino the appcatiOn for nufa tion of the sentence of death passed upon her.
 The Governor designates the crime of poisoning as the worst sort of murder and the most difficult of detection, and declares that he cannot conceive that he should feel authorized to interfere in any case of poisoning, where the guilt is clearly proved and especially when the murderer is the husband or wife. He expresses the belief. from a careful re- view of the evidence, that Mrs. Hartung guilty of the deliberate murder of her husband by poison ing him. He then refers to the general aversion of hanging woman, but thinks that public justice and the safety of human life requires it in this instance Therefore, he cannot commute the sentence, and re- quests that counsel will urge Mrs. Hartung to to hope for executive clemency.

 The New York Herald, in giving the result of the April elections in Connecticut. Michigan, St. Louis and Louisville, asks, (" What does all this mean r. and answering its own question, says, |" It means that the great Democratic party has gone to wreck and ruin, and that the opposition as sure as fate, hold the next Presidential election in their hands. Had the leaders, managers and Presidential cliques and factions of the Democratic party possessed any thing of the saving article of common sense, they would have profted from the Presidential election of 1856, in which they escaped destruction as by miracle.
