EVERY CITY UNION :!
'r1,,l------mass,e .afl..4z.-.T.ner-.

The glorious news which we give this week may well send a thrill of joy through the heart of every patriot. The downfall of the rebel capital, and the thorough, sweeping, Waterloo de- feat of the rebel forces in arms in Vlr' ginia, and their sympathizers here in Connecticut, give double occasion for | rejoicing, and as such is rightly inn proved by every loyal man..
 Answering the thunders ofartillery that announce the capture of Richmond, Connecticut gives back no faint cheer ofreioicing, but shows by her vote that her appreciation of the great cause, and the glorious victory for the nation is hearty, unalloyed by any copper mix turs, and complete.
 Goy. Buckingham and the Union State Ticket are elected by majorities ofTEN TO TWELVE THOUSAND ! Every County, every City, every Senatorial, every Congressional District are carried overwhelmingly by the Union men. We gain from five to eight thousand in the State over the vote of last spring, and ten thousand over Lincoln's majority os last fall. We gain the Congressional district of New Haven and Middleses counties, the Gibraltar of Copperhead' ism, misrepresented for four years past We drive out the last taint of copper. headism from the State Senate. We elect at least three-fourths of all the members of the lower House. We re- elect all our Union Senators from Litch field County by double the majorities o1 last year. We have gained on oul Judges of Probate. We have elected JOHN H. HUBBARD by six times his ma jority- oftwo years ago. In word, we hove made clean sweep of the Coun Y, District and State for the Union men and the Union cause. Is it not glory enough for one day
 We give full returns from this Coun Y, and the general result in the State hs iar IS we receive them up to last esening, Such glorious news it rarely salls so the lot of a newspaper to furn isn. Surely MONDAY, APRIL Sd, 1865 VIII long be remembered as one of the most glorious days in the history of ou, State and Nation.

We rejoice most heartily with all our loyal townsmen in the election of Dr. Bostwick to the legislature He is Q thorough going Union man, gentleman of the highest character and culture, not better skilled in his profession than in the finer accomplishments which disnify and adorn his solid attachments and sttong native common sense. He will make valuable and reliable legislator.
 We rejoice, however, in his election, no, so much on his own accouat, as on that of the Union voters of this town, by whom he has been thrice legally and justly elected repre- sentative of the town; but who were cheated out of their choice, twice by the partizan board of registry, and once by befogged legislature We are happy to believe. by the full vote boiled On Tuesday, and the majority of t,ceatyeigha thrown for Dr. Bostwick that voters of theii own party could no longer be forced Or dra, gooned into sustaining the illegal and raudu lent decisions of the copperhead Board of Sc lectmeu, or of defeating the clearly expressed will of the majority of the people

LTTcHFIELD. The election passed of quietly on Monday, although a full vote was boiled on both sides The copperhe ads got every live man to the polls, and one or two who were two-thirds in the grave when found, and even then were beaten ttoelre votes on the State ticket. On representatives the vote stood as follows: For D. E. Bostwick. u. 3O6, T. R Sedgwick. u. 300 G. NJ. Woodruff, c. 3l2, and T. L. Saltonstall, c. 306. There were seven double ballots cast for the Union candidates, which were not counted, and one for Dr. Bostwick," which would have legally elected him by one majority; but the copperhead board of course threw that vote out, and the m oderatcr declared the result tie between Messrs. Bostwick and Satonstall, thus neces- sitating another election on Tuesday.
 On Tuesday every effort was made by the coppers-and particularly by their king pin to cliIch the fraud on the people, but their efforts were defeated by the energy the Union men, who boiled 3O7 votes for Dr. Bostwck to 279 for T. L. Saltenstal. thus electing the for mer by clear majority of hcentyeight. So we had two days victory over the rebels in Litchfeld!
 - The copperhead board of registry in this town cannot disgrace themselves more than they have done by the admission of illegal vo. ters, but they should have care how they en- courage perjury in their ignorant and credible followers. The case of Wilber Guild, a lad of twenty years of age, whom they admitted to the privileges of an elector, is one on which there is proof of the most positive character that he is minor, and which may get the boy into trouble We have learned too much of the present board to believe that they will stop al any iniquity to secure vote for themselves and their party. but in the name of justice, de- esnecy and right, we hope and intend that their

Such an act of unparalleled meanness and cru city ought to be visited with summary punish ment, and we hope and believe it will be meted out to him.
 Wouldn't it be good idea for the coppers to start still another organ in this county :? The result of the vote on Monday is so oyer- whelmingly fattering to the Selectman's hand organ of this town that we think it would be willing to divide the honors with another of the same stripe.
