OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES by Bder Murray,
is spoken Of by him with favor aud approval,
we are only to fnd out what persuasion they
are of to be well and fully advised. He is ev-

evidence that he has given in bis communica-

in defence of bis theory, We like bis pluck and
his style of expression, and we doubt not that
we should fall in with that exalted purity and

ing to establish upon the ruins Of the church,
for we are fully OF the opinion that while you
are making your mark, it might as well be
a tolersbly elevated oue so that those who
eudeavor to reach it will have to take the tip
toe OF human attainment. We have no doubt
but this is all right, but we confess we ore OF
little faith in mere human attainment. We

about the same, aud his righteous soul will still
be vexed we fear, by the evidence of human
infrmity and imperfectiOn. Indeed, we hear
with deep feeling of regret, that even some OF
those who have been laboring 10 cleanse the pol
lutions of the church and the ,worlda are offering
very earnest apology to their audiences for the
stories affecting their own purity, which the
gossiping world have somehow got hold of.
Besides, the Job Of getting this thing started
upon the new basis, might prove a somewhat
heavy one, and unless we can have aD assurance
that the aeic would be au improvement upon
the old state OF things, the disappointment
would not be little vexatious. An appre-
heusion of this, the natural coucomitant of O
weak faith leads us rather to shrink from the
effort and supiney, perhaps, to forego any
further thought or trouble in that direction.
II therefore we deciue the publication of fur
ther articles, and close up the discussion for the
present. We shall be excused by our intelligent
and earnest correspopdept.

French daily papers, large ones, are about the
same price as the London prints. Those about
the size Of ours cost from $22 to $50 year
The cost of paper and composition, and indeed
everything connected with the make up OF a
paper, is much less in Europe than in this
county, so that the American journals are even
cheaper than would appear from the disparity
of prices

TIE CoNNEcTIoUT SENAroRsHir-The
newly elected Legislature Of Connect
cut will elect United States Senator TO
serve in place of Hon. Lafayette s. Foster,
whose term expires next March. Senator
Foster, although not a prominent radical,
acts with the progressive portion of the
Union party. He is President Of the
Senate aud acting Vice President of the
United States. His course has been such
during the war as to give satisfaction to
the Union party in Connecticut, and there
can be but little doubt Of his re election.
Iu his own party bis strongest competitor
is Gov. Buckingham whose term Of Office
a, Governor terminates in Msy. II, how
ever, the sentiments of the Legislators
should seem to indicate Mr.. Foster as
their choice, we have no doubt that Gov.
Buckiogham would promptly withdraw bis
name. State pride will Go much toward
recommending Mr.. Foster for re election.
His position as acting Vice President
strengthens his position as o candidate for
reelection.
