 DS We trust m net will bs brought for ward at tho session of the incoming Legisla' tire, and passed, embracing something like the following points. for the greater safety oi the elective franchise and the purity of the ballot-box.
 lst. That no candidate tor o6scs shall sit with the Board of Selectmen, to decide upon the qualification of proposed electors.
 2d, That no candidate for office shall pro side at the Polls, as Moderator. or ia any oth CT capacity. on Election day.
 3d. That the ballot-box shall be kept under lock and key, from the opening to the close o the Polls.
 These provisions, combined within stat ute law, would obviate various little suspicious an esteemed correspondent suggests to us and, it sesms to us, such law would be emf nently right and proper. The suggestion that such law should be made, may seem super fluous to members from some towns. but VI can assure them that becoming modesty, and the strictest impartiality in t.ess 90 delicate and important matters, do not always prevail everywhere.

The first attack upon Sumter, under Major Anderson. was remarkable from the circum- stance, that neither party killed man by hos tile shots, during the whole day. The second attack upon Sumter has been almost equally bloodless. The Charleston Mercury of the lith of April, sums up the results as follows
 !" fort Sumter, although somewhat pitted, today is, we believe, as strong as it was when the fight begun. We deem that if the attack IS renewed as before, and there is good reason to believe that it will be, the six monitors left and the Ironsides will come out the defeated party, with worse results than those attained in their hrst attempt Nous uerrons The enc my hred about eighty shots-mostly 15-inch and steel-pointed shells-at Fort Sumter This estimate was made from Sullivan's Island. Forty-one struck the work. One lO-inch gun was temporarily disabled by shot. One co lumbiad of old burst. One 7-inch rifed gun dismounted by recoil, and one gun was disa- bled few moments by fracture of the eleva- ting screw through recoil. Not person was killed in Fort Sumter from any cause Ser gsant Falkener, and privates Chaplin, Minnix and Fenn, were injured by a shower of bricks thrown from traverse on the rampant by a large shot from the enemy. A drummer-boy. Ahrens, was struck on the head by the explo- sion of Q shell over the parade. A negro la- borer was also wounded. All, we learn, are doing well, and there is no danger of losing a life or lilnb."

A
 Ne give mon the first page of our issue to. day. the address of Mark Howard, Esp, of Hartford, upon the sulject of senator Dixon' and in another place reply by the Coarsrns' on the .ul,ject of Mark Howard We give bo,h articles as matter of curiosity, and az the fitting Jfnale of , controversy which has long agitated tue political circles of Hartford, and which has culminatcd, Ut length, we hope, in this display of elegant rhetoric.
 We do not care to go into history of the affair, which from 2 personal quarrel, seems to have set our Union Republican friends by the ears, but prefer onlj to give both sides fully a hearing, that our readers may judge which has the best oft. The only phase of the matter to which VI object, is that which, by inuendo at least, brings Gov. BUCKINGHAM into the dis pute since ws are quito sure that the Governor cares nothing at all about the mattel, and has no interest or concern in it whatsoever, and re- eards the whole lair as of as little moment as does everybody else outside of Hartford.
 The sympathies of th. general public, 50 far as they have any interest in the matter, will incline to whichever of tho parties seems best abused As for ourselves we express nc opin- ion upon that point one way or the other. since both sides are 50 nicely balanced, and can only repeat what we believe will be the general ver- dict of the public upon reading both sides, that the whole matterjs simply ridiculous, and not worth the highly perfumed and variegatedcan- de that iliuninates the controversy.

TIE WESTERN VIRGINIA VoTE.-Thirty.fouI counties in Western Virginia, in the late cleo tion, gave twenty-seven thousand seven hun. dred and eiRhty-fve votes for and only five hundred and seventy one against the amended constitution. This is more than majority oi all the votes ever at any time cast within the bounds of the new state, leaving fourteen counties yet to hear from. The Wheeling h. telligencer says in reference to the vote:
 1t is worthy of note that while the vote for the new state constitution last spring, which did not provide for the gradual emancipation or slavery, was only, in the thirty-6ve counties heard from, sixteen thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, the vote this spring on the amended constitution, which did provide foi the gradual emancipation of slavery, was in the thirty-four counties so far as heard from, twen tv-seven thousand seven hundred and eighty five. In other words, thirty five counties last spring gave eleven thousand less votes for tho unamen1ed constitution than thirty-four coun ties this spring gave for the amended constitu ton. It would seem as if Congressional doc trine,' abolition and all such ogres and gor gons dire are rather popular than otherwise ir West Virginia"

Decidedly the event of the week was the joilihcstion supper, given by Hon. John H. Hubbard to his friends, at Lords Hotel, on Monday evening. Nearly two hundred guest. were present, among whom we noticed several from other towns, in,luding Hon. T. A. War. ren, Senator elect from the 18th district, Col Hctchkiss of Watertown, Vim. K. Peek, Esq. of Norfolk. Judge Butler, and the celebrities of our own town. number of ladies also graced the occasion with their presence and smiles. and added greatly to the general fes tiyity. The supper, per .e. was all that could be desired, and gotten up in. the Lords best style. After.supper speeches were made | by the host. Mr. Hubbard, who was in his happiest mood, Judge Adams, Wm. K Peck Esq, the venerable Stephen Deming, Cyrus Catlin, from ..the east side of the brook" Dr Ward, and others, all of which were received with great appreciation
 Mir. Hubbard enters upon his Congfessiena term with the assured respect and regard o1 all hi. frieuds. IL is a good thing, and an cn couraging ons to have live Congressman te represent US, and while we are taught by ths Scriptures that Congressman's speech should be only Yea, Yea, and Nay, Nay, we trust ", shall hereafter have more equal mixture, oi these, if we have nothing more
 Wsmust not omit to mention the perform ances of the Coruet Band. on the occasion which diseoursed really excellent music under tho leadership of Mir. Eugene Meafoy.

A correspondent informs us, with regard to further changes of real estate in Warren, that the farm formerly owned by Mr. Jackson, has been purchased by Mr. Troy. of Cornwall Bridge. Also, that the house and shop lately owned by Frederick Coleman, has passed into the possession of James Singleton, of Bethlem. and that several minor changes in the holders of wood lots, &c.,, have been made. as that ot the purchases of Wm. Forestell from the late Talmadge Estate, and Mr. Gibson of the Starr Estate.

A Richmond correspondent says that the State of Virginia lost $l 100000 and the Con federate States, nearly g. 100000 by the recent fire at Richmond. The Sentinel is newspa- per, established on March llth, and appeared on half shee'. The hotels at Richmond charge ss day for board. The writer says
 "There is many poor clerk having family to support at the above high prices that only gets l,000 per year. It is only by walking upon the very verge of starvation they can get along Rents are enormous. This is rational enough when we consider the fact that there are one hundred and twenty thousand people here now, against forty thousand two years ago."

The Nineteenth Regiment.

Our latest intelligence from the Nineteenth Regiment, c. V., is, that they are still in camp at Fort Worth, and the impression appears to be that they will yet remain there, though there seems to be some uncertainty with regard to the matter. It is now reported that they are to be drilled in heavy artillery, and kept in the forts around Washington.
 We have refrained. heretofore, from noticing the reports which have very generally obtained through the County, with regard to Lieut.. Col Kellogg, of this Regiment, hoping that they were untrue, or at least that they could be ex. plained but we have yet heard of no explana- ton of the fact if it is fact that he is absent from the Regiment without leave, and is, in fact, at large as deserter. We have been quite unwilling to believe that so strict disci- plinarian as Col. Kellogg, and so thorough a soldier as we supposed him to be, would be guilty of 50 fragrant breach of military disci plne, or would subject himself to so severe and humiliating punishment as will be sure to follow,if hs is guilty ef wlful assertion from his regiment.
 Col. Vessels health still remains 50 deli cate that he can take no charge of the Regi ment the Major and Adiutant are both quite sick, and the command of the Regiment has, of late, devolved upon Capt. Bissell, of Com pany A. We learn, however, that the Regi- mens is being drilled in Artillery practice by an officer of the lst Connecticut.
 The Winsted paper, in allnsion to the condi- tian of the Regiment last week, informs its readers that the Regiment is under command of Capt. Deming of Go. A." As there does not happen to be such captain in the Regi- ment, las the Herald can ascertain by referring to our file containing full roster of the Reci- ment.) and as AdjMtans Dsming is sick in the Fairfax St. Hospital at Alexandria, we are at . loss to perceive the accuracy of the Hsrald's information. as

PREACHING ILLUSTRATED BY PRAcr1cE.-Th, New Bedford Mercury says Cough, the elo quent lecturer, practices as we'll as breaches His lectures are full of noble sentiments, and his life is full of noble actions. We happen to know some facts which increase our respect for the man, and which it is just should be sta ted. Of some $30,000, the avails of his lec- lures in England, he brought home but about $l,6OO-the balance, beyond his personal ex- penses, having been given to charitable ob- jects. Ho is now supporting seventeen young men in college; and a large portion of his re- ceipts as a lecturer last year was, given in aid of the war. in recruiting regiments, furnishing hospital supplies, &c., &c."
