 .'* Two weeks ago the ENQUIRER published letter from here, signed "Citizen." replying to one of week before in it's columns and relating to the Deputy-Sheriff ship. etc., So strange was this letter that I for the first time was induced to to investigate the matter of which it discussed, and should have stated the facts last week but for want of time.-The letter of 'sJitizen" states that the former one signed Standard Bearer,' contain ed great deal of fiction. But find that the latter was quite correct in its assertions, and am shocked at the bold untruthfulness of "Citizen's" letter, which my investigation re- veals. "Cltizen" represents the delegates from Winsted who assisted in Botsford's nomina tion. as having endangered his election and as having advanced Capt Hornes claims. Let us examine Newton, Fyler, Roraback and Futile were delegates to the convention. Tut tie defaulted before election day, and voted as he openly declares for Hubbard, and opposed Home with all his might. Roraback moved from town just after Election, and had noth ing to do with the matter at all. Newton and Fyler favored Horne. it is true, because Thompson, as he himself comfssses worked for Hubbard, for time at least, (thongh he says he voted for Botsford-"on the fence" you see.) And this was all there was about it "Citizen" says that these little great men, (the friends of Horne) "came down from their high stills and pleaded with those they had abusedC making all sorts of promises There is nc real truth in this, and but shadow o it on which to found this declaration Sundry per sons, bolted the regular Republican Repre- sentative ticket on sectional town-wise grounds and threatened to vote the Demo crat ticket. This was ia open meeting called by themselves. The State Central Commit tee, Mr. Newton, thought best to conciliate these disaffected parties and did so as such committee and not as interested in the ques- tioL as to who would be the next Deputy Sheriff. We'll, the most of these disaffected and boiling parties were the most strenuous for Thompson's appoln tment.
 As to Thompson's withdrawing his name, as Citizen" alleges, find that pure fiction of Citizens own brain, for Thompson 8 friends now say that it was not so Besides, Horne was not appointed on account of the petition in his favor (which, by the way, was larger by hfty names, than that for Thompson,) but for young man of capacity and unblemished char acter, in contrast with man whose political character was always questionable, to say the least of it, and who allowed himself to be rep- resented by men of copperhead tendencies or who as. in Tuttles case, (his strongest friend) avowedly voted for Hubbard

LITCHFIELD.


 Since the first of July change has come over the town, becoming gradually more and more marked up to the present time. Every now and then people ride by in slow uncer- tam way on gay colored horses, others are driven about in small wheeled vehicles of great size and uadulating proportions, boarding mouse pianos play unceasingly, and innumer able light dresses float over our sidewalks all indicating the presence of our summer visi- tors. Their dssipations, so far, are not of a description to shock us. Croqust all day. an occasional hop at night. and now and then an excursion in the dingy picnic. wagon form pretty much all the outward demonstrations j; yet there seems to be much informal enjoy ment, Etch6eld serving as sort of bow win dow into which quiet city people like to step. out of the heat and press, to cool.
 At sunset, the pride of our day, it is never ending source of entertainment to watch the various couples as they traverse the streets en- toying the gorgeous spectacle
 First comes pair courting clumsily after some old-world precedent; then dashing young person charging down in the open field on the adversary whose arm she takes, confidently then passes nice insidious soul stealing into the heart of the companion whose arm she touches lightly, dangerously; while here and there move along staider couples, walhinGuaG1i1Esag together in the calm confidence ofl at has stood the wear and tear of life.
 Not the least characteristic are our Sunday l evenings, when the streets are at their fullest and the elms and moonlight seem to coax every living thing out into the open air. Just before day turns to dusk happy change brings the Episcopal Church together, and as the darkness is adding solemnity to it's closing services the eye often wanders to the chancel window whose colors deepen and soften in the twilight. as the harsh old Jewish dispensation melted into Christianity, and 1t times it takes an | almost human expression, that of kind face growing soft and sweet as it transmits the light from friendly heart beneath. As the evening closes in the piety of the village seems no longer to fear melodious expression bu waxes sonorous, hymns and semi-spiritual song' going up on every side, while as we wend oul way home the last object on which the ey, dwels is the old Congregational Church shin ing out grandly in the moonlight, like man! another good Puritan deed in this naught! world. ... = An exceedingly interesting game of Bas Ball was played here on Saturday between l the Mechanics Club of Wolcottville and tn Dutton Club of this place resulting in the sue

In letter written by the. chief editor of the New Haven Register to- his paper from Canada we find the following. ,1 l''' -lt
 "We met, accidentally, with Hon. John c. Breckinridge, (who happened to be day here with some friends,) and with whom we spent pleasant half hour. He is in splendid health and condition, Q little bronzed by ex- posture, a few more gray hairs than when we last met him, seven or eight years ago-but the same noble demeanor, the same polished gentleman, He hopes, with us, for the early re-establishment of real peace and unity, and brighter days for the Republic. We trust it will not be long before he is permitted to re turn to his native State, and to councils sohich his statesmanship adorned; for think as you may of his part in the late disastrous war, land with him it was an honest part.) he has few superiors among the men of his age, in either section. He bears his exile like man with becoming dignity. s,. s:e.- Now if there is man whom the people of the United States can never forgive it is John Breckinridge; His treason has no psllia- ton; he stole out of the Senate of the United States into the Confederate army long after the war began, not being led into crime but leading others into it, fighting in cause which left him no excuse for his double treason against his State and against his country. And yet the above article discloses the hu- initiating fact that there is something infinite ly below John Breckenridge. That old ser vile spirit winch led the Register to betray the patriotic Douglas in 1860 reasserted itself when the Chief Editor found himself once more in the presence of his master. One thing, however, is here unwittingly cleared up. We think we now understand the old Southern contempt of everything Yankee and we freely admit that if there had not been . very differ. ent breed of New Englanders from the Editor of the New Haven Register, MT Breokinridge would not now be an exile in Canada.
