The COnnec1icU1 EIee1i00-

The people of Connecticut have voted
down the Contitutional Amendment pro
posing to make intelligence, not color, the
test of admission to the ballot-box. The
vote was light and the majority was small
Though greatly regretting this temporary
defeat of great principle, we cannot say
that we are surprised at, it. Connecticut
is the most conservative State in New
England, and the toadyism to slavery, and
the malignant prejudice against the negro,
which is exhibited in some portions of that
State can hardly be Paralleled in the
North, outside Of New Jersey. The State
gave a majority for Lincoln, last fall, of
only 400, in a total Aote of 86,976. 1t is
not wonderful that the indifference and
prejudices of few Union men have led
them to vote with the Democracy on this
question and secured the defeat of the
Amendment.
But the lovers of human rights must
not be discouraged by their failure in
Connecticut In ls47 the same PROPOSE
ton was submitted and the majority
against it was four to one. Now the
State appears to be nearly equally divided
on the question. A year from now and it
can be carried. Work on, then, Union
men of Conneeticut undismayed by de-
feat, for your triumph, though delayed, is
no less certain

The reception of Gen. Grant to-day has

duced to the State officials. After which
he returned to the front steI IS of the build

the hospitalities of the city which he ac-
cepted in his usual laconic sly lie.
The honOred guest then re tired to the
Rotunda, where for an hour he received
the salutations of thousands of people
The presentation of the school children of
the city, all of whom the General took by
the hand, formed an interesting feature of
the occasion.
After making a hasty visit to the several
public institutions, Gen. Grant and suite
with numerous invited guests, partooll Of
a sum ptuous repast at the Neil House at

winian,II. Gibson ANA John c. BresIin

The Plain Dealer republishes from the
Bucyrus Forum base attack on Colonel
William H. Gibson, opening the whole
subject of the Bresl.n-Gibson defalcat.on
The Democrats should be very careful
about reviving that matter, for every one
who can claim the least acquaintance with
Ohio politics, knowns that that defaleation
wa caused by the corruption and THE very
of John G. Breslin, Democratic State
Treasurer for the term preceding Gibsons.
Colonel Gibson is stumping the State for
the Union party. The only reason that
Breslin is not on the stump for the Demo-
Gratis is that, like another Democrat in
later days his crimes have forced him to
leave his country for his countrys good.
Colonel Gibson committed grievous error
in the matter, but he was more sinned
against than SHINING, and his offence has
zzeen efaced by his subsequent services as
a soldier in the Army of the Union.

The Empress Eugene had hardly recov-
cred from the shock of the accident which
befell the Princess Anna Murat and sew
eral other ladies, whilst travelling with her
in Switzerland, when on her journey to
Biarritz, she is saddened by the news Of
the death, by apoplexy, of the dowager
duchess of Albany, the mother-in-law of
Eugenie's deceased sister.
Mr.. Renan, who has recently returned
from his explorations of the apostolic re-

The Public Debt.

We publish in another column, this
morning, an exhibit of tho condition of the
public debt at the close of the last month.
1t shows a most gratifying state of things
in the management of the public finances.
For the first time since the beginning of
the rebellion, there has been an absolute
reduction IN He amount Of tie debt The
receipts of the Treasury Department dur
ing the month of September were not only
sufficient to meet all the expenses of the
Government but to pay off no less than
$l2, 74O,O 900 of the principal of the public
debt, beside cancelling legal tender notes
to the amount of s6,O12, 600, and reducing
the interest on the debt by about $500, ,OOO
This event marks our entrance upon a
new era in our financial history. Instead
of increasing our debt at the rate of mill
lion or two day, we have absolutely de-
creased it, during the past month, at the
rate of more than half a million per day
for every weekday in the month. The
fact will exercise the most healthy inHu-
ence upon the 6BaGcial condition of the
antire country

PROTECTION.
letter from gen. Ralph p. auckland.

The author of the following letter is
among the foremost practitioners at the
bar of Northern Ohio and one of the
ablest politicians in the State. He was a
leading member of the Senate from 1855
to 1859, and in 1861 went into the war as
Colonel of the I'D Regt 0. V L By hard
service and solid achievements he gradu-
ally advanced to high rank and command.
In 1864 he was elected to Congress, and
will hold an honorable position among the
best Legislators and soundest men at the
Capital next winter:
FREMONT, o., Sept, 1865.
DEAR SIR: 1 have the honor TO ac-
knowledge the receipt of your favor
enclosing n circular from the So
ciety for Protection of American In
dustry.'
the policy of Protection to American In
dustry,' and, my faith in that policy is
stronger now than ever. 1t would have
become the settled policy of the country
long ago, but for the opposition of the
Slave Aristocracy of the South which CON
stantly opposed ali legislation having a
tendency to benefit free labor Now that
slavery is abolished, the South will be as
much benefited by protection as the
North, and there will be nothing in the
way of adopting a permanent system,
which will benefit all classes of labor, and
develop all sections of the country
Without protection, the manufacturers of
this country cannot compete with the
manufacturers of England, unless labor is
brought down to the low price paid to
laborers there, which l hope never to see.
In free country like ours, where the
Government is made by the people and
for the people, it should be the aim of the
legislator to improve the condition of the
laboring classes by raising the price of
labor instead ofkeeping it down. This can
only be done by protecting the labor of
this country against the immense capital
and cheap labor of Europe.
With a proper system of protection, We
shall soon see manufacturing establish
ments springing up all over the West and
South, giving employment to thousands of
men and women, at good wages; building
up cities and creating new markets for
IdTlleFS near likoiL tNu uOOfs. NOW the
Western farmer pays the expense of trans
porting his produce to distant markets.
But | do not propose to undertake a
discussion OF the subject. 1 approve the
general objects OF your Society. Too
much pains cannot be taken to dissemi-
nate correct information among the peo-
pie, the source of all power.
am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant
r. P. BUCKLAND.

Mr.. Baker-I did not hear the ruling of
the court, being absent.
Gen. Wallace directed the ruling to be
read for the information of Mr.. Baker.
Mr.. Baker said that if it came to the
point that he must go on without knowing
to what the witnesses would testify, he
must give up the case. He had bestowed
much labor on it and was still willing to
do all in his power for his client.
After further conversation, the room
was cleared for deliberation, and when the
doors were opened, at fifteen minutes of
the usual hour of adjournment, General
Wallace said: Mr.. Baker, to facilitate your
labors, the court viii transact no further
business to-day, and will now adjourn
until ten O'clock tomorrow morning.
The court accordingly adjourned.
