R9- The Corperheads, in their honorabl e efforts to carry Connecticut for Johnson and English, rather overdid the thing in Green wich. where they increased their majority, ,by stu6fng the ballot boz. more than l50 votes. The result is that there were sixty or seventy votes more ia the count than were names on the list, and on an investigation by the Legis- lsture. the vote of the town will probably be thrown out, giving the Republicans the Sher, if for Fairfield County.

B9- Horace Maynard has expressed the opinion that pub lie sentiment in Tennesse and North Carolina is more inclined to justice than in Connecticut and Pennsylvania. The ques- ton of negro suffrage in Tennessee he says, will be settled by and by in favor of the black man, and I should not wonder If Tennessee gave the black man the right to vote before Connecticut does. And the black man will probably vote sooner in North Carolina than in ennsylvania.'

 bSr A party of original traitors held a meeting in Washington, last week. to revive the National Democratic Association' which was long time ago suppressed for incipient treason. At this meeting Senator Salisbury of Delaware, who proclaimed in the Senate on Friday, that every inch of Delaware soil would be red with blood before the Civil Rights Bill could be enforced there, was the chief speaker and the tenor of his remarks wa about as fol. lows He said he was tired of supporting a man who would not help himself. lie was a warm personal friend of President Johnson, but he was tired of supporting man who let the Connecticut State election go against him, when he could have prevented it; who gives his offices to men who are his personal enemies; who keeps Cabinet about him not one of whom is friend to him, and who has scarcely a member in Congress to support his measures. . Let him stand by the Constitution, and then I will think of going to work again. Reorgan- ize your old Democratic Association and stick to that. You will undoubtedly succeed in time.' He believed to-day that revolution is pending. and President Joh6ssn could have better work for Southern men yet than hanging them. He believed that when Jefferson Davis left the Senate he was better Union man than Abraham Lincoln. This he should say on the floor in Congress before he got through. This work of Congress amounts to usurpation, and what it passes are not laws. Nearly all the Democrats in Congress wara siclr at heart be- cause the President would not attempt to help himself He still clung to the vilest of the vile, Edwin M Stanton, and to Secretary Sew card who had brought all this trouble and war upon the country.

Passed.

| Q -ls ~ sH sse
 The Civil Rights Bill passed the Senate or Friday, notwithstanding the Presidents veto. by vote of thirty-thres to fifteen, and passed the House on Monday by vote of one hun dred and twenty-two to ferty-ene. It has therefore become law. This .result is very gratifying to friends of liberty eyerywhere.
 The bill declares that all persons bora in the United States, excluding Indians not taxed, without distinction of race or color, gre citizens of the United States. and shall enjoy equal rights to make and enforce contracts, to sue and be sued, to be parties and give evidence, to inherit, purchase, lease. sell, hold and con vey property; and shall be subject to the same penalties and panshments. Another section provides tbat any person who, under color of any state law, shall violate the first section by subjecting any person to any restraint, punisb- ment, or deprivatiou, on account of having been held in slavery, shall be punished '.by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, or Imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both in the dircretion of the Court" The subse- quent sections of the bill make further provi- sion for the execution of the law. .@ ~' We believe that this act is an eminently just and wise one, and we are glad that, al though the President did not see fit to sign it upon it's first passage, he has expressed his willingness and avowed his intention to see ii properly enforced.
