THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION comes of TO-DAY.
1t will be hard fight and the loss or gain of
republican member Of Congress or two may be
determined by the state of the weather. The de-
mocracy, like "Mother Carey's Chickens" rejoice
in storms; the republicans, like porpoises, turn
up in the largest schools" when the seas are
calm and the ~ y warm, though they are not
so fearful of spring drizzle as were the 'old
line wings" in their day. We wait the result
with some interest, because we are not without
the hope of rebuke to the sectional republican
party which will spoil their calculations

WASHINGTON, April 8, 1859.
The trial Of Mr.. Sckes begins tomorrow morning at
O'clock and the deepest interest prevails here as to
what may The general opinion is that Mr. sickles
will be acquitted Whilst others in doubt. Scandal
mooeers anticipate great treat from pquant reve
atons that expected but the taste and discretion of
the Court will probably protect public decency from
needless violation 1t appears that application was
made yesterday to the President by Messrs Carlisle and
Bradley for authority to give their legal aid to the prose-
cuon but the President expressed his surprise at this
singular attempt to draw him into interference with
the usual Of justice II supposed that after this
rebuff these gentlemen will not urge themselves upon
the prosecuting attorney, who is abundanty able to
manage the case as he is lawyer Of ability and expe-
rence.
Numbers continue TO arrive from New York and other
cities to attend the trial. AS the trial approaches Mr.
Sckes grows calmer; but it is said he fears the
ordeal Of listening to the evidence Of bis we's ndety
open court than even the verdict Of the jury.
The prosecution and the defence are up TO this moment
ignorant Of the mode Of procedure that either will adopt

RAILROAD CONTACTS, SCHEMES AND SQUAD
BLEs-For some time past the four great rail-
roads connecting the Atlantic shore with the
West and its great interior seas-the New York
Central, the Erie, the Pennsylvania Central
and the Baltimore and Ohio railroads have
been connecting plans whereby they could arrange
the prices Of freight and travel on the several
roads, 80 as not to conflict with each others inte-
rests For this purpose they have held seve-
raj conventions at different points, at Wash
ington, Baltimore, Buffalo, in this city, and
elsewhere at each of which certain COM
pacts and arrangements were entered into,
only to be broken the very next week. They
could not keep faith with each other, even to
make money off the publica fact which is great
ly to the interest of said public. The more these
corporations quarrel among themselves and de-
feat their own schemes, the better for those who
have to patronize the railroads.

ANOTHER INCREASE OF THE STATE DEBr.-A
few days ago bill passed the Senate at Albany
submitting the question to the people in rele-
renee to loan of two millions and half to pay
off the floating canal debt and we perceive that
a further loan is now proposed, amounting TO
half million more to pay the interest ON the
State debt. Here are four millions accommodating
on the present Indebtedness of the State, which
will bring it up to nearly thirty-6ye millions. IF
we have to borrow this year topay interest," what
shall we do next year? Borrow again, Of course,
still larger sum; and SO IL will go on from year
to year, until, before we know where we are,
The State will be, like our railroad corporations,
dishonored bankrupt. So much for the beau
tiful legislation Of the Albany Solons.

THE WORK OF THE LEGIsLATUHE-Bu ten
working days now remain before the Legislature
will close its session, according to the rule, and
there is still large mass of business to be done
The unusual excitement which exists in reference
to the twenty railroads proposed to be chartered
in this city and Brooklyn will probably cause
considerable portion Of that time TO be occupied
with the subject. We publish in another column
continuation Of the list of bills passed up to
this time, together with those still to be acted
upon. 1t will be seen that the acts passed and
acted upon by the Executive number eighty-seven
while there are now before the Committee of
the Whole one hundred and sixty more and
ffty-seven still in the hands of committees.
1t is not likely that all the business will be
finished this session, though desperate rush is
being made by the lobby to hurry through before
adjournment the business IN which that ravenous
institution has the most interest.

THE SICKLEs TRIAI.-This day commences, at
Washington, the trial of the Hon. Daniel E. Sickles
for the killing of the late Phillip Barton Key,
Prosecuting Attorney for the District of Co
lumbia. The peculiar nature of the case-the
fact Of the accused being member of Congress,
and having been formerly Secretary of Legation
at the British metropolis, where he and his wife
were go well known as to call forth in bis
behalf an editorial article Of great sympathy
from one of the leading London Jour
nals-the fact of the killing having been
done in public square, in open day,
before several witnesses, and without at
tempt at disguise or concealment- pri-
soner's immediate surrender of himself to the
authorities-the intOlerable provocation which
melted to the deed of blood, and the whole train
of circumstances which led to the denouemcnt of
this domestic tragedy-combine to take it out of
the ordinary catalogue of criminal trials, and to
render one of the causes cflebres of history. In
view therefore, Of the interest which our readers
will take in the case, we have made arrange
ments to have the trial fully reported every day
