The democratic convention which met at New Haven, Jan., Sth, spent much of it's valuable time in denunci- ation of any attempt to impeach An drew Johnson, declaring that it would be just cause of civil war. Prominent among the State journals which sus- tain this view is the Hartford Times. It and it's associates can see no other course for themselves but war, if Con- gress impeaches a " coordinate branch of the government" the executive. How differently they talked when they supposed that Mr. Johnson was a radical" After the disgraceful scene in the Senate chamber March 4th, 1865, when he was sworn in vice president, Mir Sumner urged his inn peachment. The PRESS among other journals, said that he should be de- posed by impeachment.
 The Iin,es at that time had no ob- lection to impeachment it urged the immediate arraignment of Mr. John- son. s-a.- a
 March 7th it said the vice president was ESQ beastly drunk that he was un- able to go through the inauguration ceremonies" It is an occurrence to make every American hang his head in shame" ''It seems that the vice president had not been sober for a | week, and that on this occasion he was beastly drunk"
 l March Sth it followed the matter up "Will MT. Deming vote for a bill of impeachment, charging Andy Johnson with drunkenness ? If not let us have a man that will, seeing that all parties are agreed upon the | propriety of such proceeding"
 March 9th it returned to the charge: "We second the motion" of the PRESS. ''Mr. Mitchell will pledge a vote to that great step redressing the na- tional humiliation. Will--Mr- Dem ing"
 Now, we do not hesitate to say that we have just this confidence in the sincerity of the Hartford Times and the democrats of Connecticut: if the President to-day held to the op- inion he expressed April Is, 1865, | that "the American people must be taught that treason is crime, and must be punished;" and had stood by his declaration to a delegation of following, that 's consistent Union men only should be appointed to fed eral offices in southern states" the Times and the democrats of Connec- I ticut would still be urging the i'm peachment of Andrew Johnson. -Hart.

AN INSURANCE AGENT SoLD.-A pleasant item concerning an elderly gentleman in that city is told by the Springfield Union: On Thursday evening he was visited by an itlner.

 ant insurance agent who seemed bent se- curing his promise to take out policy, The kind old man bore with the agents tedious rehearsals of the worn out stories of the bene- fits of insurance-which good and smart man at the business never tells-wishing to give him a fair hearing; and after an hour or two the visitor came to be quite bold and oc- cupied all the time, leaving his victim noth- ing to do but to listen and endure. When nine o'clock came the talk was but begun, and the man of the house thought it time for the agent to look for his bat and mediate departure, and so took out his watch and looked ait. Fifteen minutes later he thought to make an impression by the same means and 90 drew forth his repeater second time but all to no avail. At ten o'clock he tried the same experiment with like result; and then abandoning all hope of getting rid of him by such gentle reminders, concluded to nerve himself up to the task of tiring him out The agent, thinking he saw signs of future success, continued to ply his arguments and perSuaSiOnS, and with redoubled earnestness' He kept up the talk until one o'clock in the morning, when his nearer, becoming too much fatigued to sit uI, longer, and thinking it his turn to speak, said it was bed time, and be- sides, one of the insurance men in town board ed at his house, and he had just insured all his property, and consequently there was no use in talk. The joke is going the rounds among the insurance men of the city, and they enjoy it very much.

Tha Old Threafs.

The old policy of intimidation and threats, is again resorted to by the CopperhtAds of Con- necticut The men who in 1860 Threatened to resist the passage of Massachusetts troops through the State, on their way to the defence of the capital and who boldly arowed their purpose to resist the draft, and to shoot down any officer who attempted to arrest them, are again at their mischievous work. They com menced it two months ago, when they threat ened the country with the bayonets of the s'Maryland Militia, and their presses are still talking it up at intervals. Tae New Haven Register goes SO far as to say 1SSat the whole rebel army has not yet entire surrendered, and holds up threat of resullfi ffon of hostil- ties by "the Trans Mississippi ;semy, number ing nearly two hundred thousand mem" This is the sort of language it uses in connection with the recent passage of the Military recon struction bill. After denouncing the law for sending" Northern satraps '-by which term it designates the Union army-to govern the South, it says:
 Are we prepared for such declaration ofwars Are we that 1t will not be followed by the clash of arms, and the gathering of squadTsns again in the the Trans Mississippi numbering nearly two hundred thousand men, never formally surrendered to the Federal authoiity-certany, neves Surrendered their arms After the equalization of Generals Lee and Johnston, they dispersed to their homes in Texas and the other territory lying west G the Mississippi river apparently willing to acquesce in the authority of the Federal to the extent of the terms ns they snbmit to this military scheme of partition, which the Radicals would impose upon thems And if they resist will they be alone in their resistance
 For such language as this, we ask the care full perusal of every patriotin Connecticut. Consider we'll the character of these threats, and decide then whether after five years of such fighting as we have had, after purohas- ing Union victory at such a fearful cost, we are ready to be cowed dow by copperhead threats of another rebelion.i g. aa5a

IMPORTANT LIQUOR DECIsIoN.-The Bos- Journal learns from reliable authority that the question that has been sent up to the United States Supreme Court, as to the eff feet of the taxation upon liquors, in which the liquor dealers claimed that the fact of the gallon gave them authority to sell in order to get back their money that they had paid for taxes, has been been decided adversely to the liquor dealers. This affects those cases that have been waiting for the point to be determined, some 2500 in all. . .ssz rss

With the advent of the XLth Congress Connecticut ceases to be represented by MT. I afayetta s. Foster. who retires from the Sen

ate after twelve years of active service in that body. As a parliamentarian MT. Foster has few equals in the country, and for many months he has filled the honorable position of presiding officer in the upper house of the national legislature with unimpeachable dig nifty, courtesy and impartiality. He had pre- vionsly, during more than one term, presided, with equal ability, over the deliberations of the State House of Representatives. He has been twice chosen United States Senator, having first taken his seat at the opening of
 date of his election uo the vacant chair of the presiding officer he took a prominent part in the debates on the important measures which have been brought before the latter Congress es.

 AppREc1ATED-Mr. c. W. Gibson of this city, who has. made himses quite prominent of late in connection with edtical movements and who officiated as President of the Work ingmen's Convention, at New Haven, receives & very fattering notice frcm the New Britain Record. The editor of the Record was dele gate to the Covention and had an opportunity of reve1ling in the delights of Mr. Gibson's per sonal presence. The Record says of the Con- vention:
 It was late in the afternoon before perma. nent organization could beefected, and it was then hoped that presiding officer had been secured who would be impartial in the per formance of his duties Bnt in this the Con vention was sadly disars s,ointed, for the per smanent President WAS ysd not to possess the slightest qualification for his position, and his dishonesty was so apparent that even his friends were ashamed of him. Indeed it is seldom that every quality necessary to make both fool and knave can be found so per fectly blended in one person. If motion was made that he thought would not please the men in whose employ he evidently was, he would not entertain it if any one, unknown to him, was nominated he would pay no at tention to the nomination until sly wink from one known to be in favor of carrying out the programme of the, democratic managers assured him that he might safely proceed. Such conduct necessarily disgusted the better part of the Convention with the whole pro ceeding, and many delegates who had come to the Convention hoping that English would be nominated found the efforts in his behalf so shameful that they steadily opposed them. Had it not been for the presence and the par ticipation in the doings of the Convention of scores of men in the employ of English, the gathering would have been quiet and an hon or to the workingmen, as it was, it was dis grace to the state, for which the democratic leaders are responsible.

A HARD HEARTED FELLOW.

During the first year of the rebellion
man living in Georgia left home and
family, came North and joined the Union
army. He left behind him in his South
ern home wife and two children, boy
and girl. Months passed away and no
tidlngs came to this little family of the
absent husband and father. at last there
came well authenticated rumor that he
had fallen in some one of the sapguinary
battles which we're so frequent in those
dark and bloody days. Time passed on
and the widow again married in the full
belief that her first husband was dead.
By this second husband she had one child,
a girl. During the closing scenes of the
rebellion her second husband fell in defense
OF the Southern Confederacy. Since that
time she has supported herself and three
children by teaching, for she is lady of
education and refinement.
A short time since she received intelli-
gence which led her to believe that her
first husband was still living and that he
was in the oil region of Pennsylvania.
OVerJoyed at this news, she gathered her
means together and started on her long
and weary journey in search of the hus-
band whom she had SO long supposed
dead, not doubling that be would be the
same as of old. Last week she arrived
in this region and found her husband, but
instead of being rejoiced to see her, he
coldly Informed her that she was no more
than stranger to him, that his affections
were entirely alienated from her. She
then besought him to make some provi-
sion for the bringing up and education of
his two children. This he positively de-
clined to do with any of them. The poor
woman, finding him inexorabie, turned
sorrowfully away With her three chill
dren she started on her journey Southward.

TO THE RAINBOW.

BY JULIA ToBIN.
Triumphal Arch! that spans the sky
When storms prepare to part,
l ask DOT proud philosophy
To tell tne what thou art.
Still seems, as to my childhood's sight,
A midway station given,
For happy spirits to 0light
BetWixt the earth and heaven.
Can all that optics teach unfold
Thy form to please me SO,
AS when dream'd of gems and gold
Hid IN thy radiant bow ?
When science from creations face
Enchantment's veil Withdraws,
What lovely visions yield their place
TO cold, material laws!
Ard yet, fair bow, no fabling dreams,
But words of the Most High.
Have told why first thy robe of beams
Was woven in the sky.
