The CONNECTICUT ELEcr1oS.-The State
election in Connecticut on last Monday was
hotly contested and called out a large vote.
The telegraph says 10 total poll OF 81 535
votes, Hawey, the Radical candidate, leads
English, Democrat, 5e4 votes. In 1865, 10
a poll Of 72,7l7 votes, Buckingham, the
Abolition candidate, was elected by major.
'ty OF 1905. Liucon's majority 10 1864,
was 1882. Accepting the telegrsphic &C.
count that English has been defeated BY the
meager number of 594 votes, the Democrats
and Conservatives have cause for congratula
ton in the splendid fight that has been made,
"oe will accept it as an evidence that the
people are rallyiog to the support Of the
President and the Democracy in dstermin'
alton TO have . return 10 good government,
and the rs-establiehmeot of the Union on
The basis Of the Constitution. The gain Of
lo,5oo votes 10 a single year in Connecticut,

and it will BE- accepted throughout the couu
try BY the Democracy in that spirit. If the
Radicals can derive any comfort from the re-,
suit, they are welcome to it. They will 6ud,
however, that it is the premouitory tolng Of
the bell that will ring their death knell in
the fall elections. A relative gain iu the
vote OF tho States Of New York, Psunsylva.
nia, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, will give
those States to the Democracy by large ma.
jorities; and that such will be the result. the
signs OF the times will not permit US to
doubt. The future is cheering and full Of

A Proclamation Of Peace...Another Veto
upon the Radicals.

On the the 2d inst, the President Issued
proclamation declaring the iusurrection in
the seeded States at an end and the coun.
try at peace. This important document,
while it sends thrill Of joy to the heart of
every man who sincerely desires to see the
reinstatement Of civil authority 10 the land,
to the end that the country may again EN-.
bark upon career Of prosperity. that feel
ing Of fraternity may be fos,ered to bring
the discovered sections together in harmony
and unity, and that the Union OF States may
become in fact the Confsderacy contemplated
by The organic law-will be to the Radical
element-to the turbulent men, who design
to rule the country under the influence Of a
satanic hatred toward the insurrectiouary
States, - 40 additional provocation TO con.
tinus their malignat warfare against the
President, and an additional reason for them
to place distractions iu the way Of bis efforts
to carry out measures to restore the States
to their proper equality in the Union.
But however they may rant and buster in
defiance, this proclamation will place the
Radicals at disadvantage before the people
The country desires rest-and the people
will hail the assurance Of the President that
peace has at last arrived, and they will 20.
tolerate the Radicals 10 persis,ing 10 con,in-
40 the country 10 a state Of war, when. there
is no armed enemy TO 6ght.
The proclamation will have the further
effect to render ridiculous the operations Of
the Reconstruction Committee of Congress.
That caba may As we'll close up business,
and discontinue taking testimony on the
condition Of the South. The Presidsn, has
relieved them of the necessity of further
work 10 that direction, by declaring the
South at peace, and 10 longer any impedi'
ment existing there to the exercise Of civil
authority. Reconstruction is now accom-,
plished 10 spite Of the Committee, and little
more remains to be done beside admitting
'bs Southern States 10 a representation in
Congress. This the present Congress may
prevent, but they cannot undo what has
been done BY the President in the work Of re.
ssoratiou, and State officials and Legislatures
will exercise their legitimate duties With
out improper interference. johnson, if he
has not killed the Radical snake, has dss-
troyed much of its power for harm.

STAFF OFFICER SERVING IN VIRGINIA.
Edited from the MS. of Col. Surry, by
JOHNESTEN COOKE,
Author of
"THE VIRGINIA COMEDIANS.
With four Illustrations, by
w N S Low HOM X r.
This is a Confederate war novel, including Les
JACKSON, STUART, AsHBY, and other Confederate
celebrities, among its dramaatis persone. 1t is
very spirited, graphic, of absorbing interest, and
the delineations of its historical characters may
be relied upon closely faithful. The author
served on Stuart's staff, met the Confederate
Generals daily, and has portrayed them exactly
as they were. The incidents Of the story are all
in Virginia, and are as romantic, stirring, and
interesting as any could wish. 1t is, OF
course, South-side novel, but confines itself to
the deineation of adventures and incidents, most
OF which were of actual occurrence. A better
insight into life in the Confederate army during
the eventfu early periods of the war cannot pc
obtained; while the work, apart from its warlke
incidents, is excellent in style, and full of inter
est. For sale by
