THE RESULT IN CONNECTICUT.

Connecticut has gone CoppsrhOHd BY =
few hundred votes. This result is not on .
which will seriously AFFECT the pOliIicAlpro-
grAmmO. Although the Johnsonitss have
carried three out of four representatives.
and elected English. = thorough-gOing
re actionist, for Governor, We have still
. strong enough majority to override the
PrssidenI's vetOes. and carry forward
the great work Of reconstruction.
Nevertheless, We have an important
moral to deduce from this result. We
must be more careful Of the personal
character Of the men We nominate for
public positions. The third c0pgressiOn-
al district and the State we're lost simply
because the Republicans nominated P. T.
Barnum for Congress. They could not
have done mere foolishly. Barpum hAa
for twenty years been known as the most
thoroughly dishonest and shameless hum
bug o the continent. He had no pas
record of dignity, culture. or high achiev.
meDt Of any sort, to fall back upon. He
had done nothing for the Anne rican people
but to cheat and sWiudle them. The
balance Of political power has always
been doubtful in Connecticut, and the
Feejee Mermaid, the WoOlly HOrss, JOios
Hsth. and the Pstri6sd AmszoDian. we're
enough 10 turn the scale.
We hope that Republicans throughout
the United States will apply the moral Of
this disaster, aud avoid re psaling the or.
ror of our friends in Connecticut. A
lifelong record Ofmoral worth. intellectual
ability and high integrity. should be the
only passport to the nations high
places.

What's Coming In the New DispensasiOn

What's Coming In the New DiSPensaaiOn .
Nor PosTED.-The Topeka Tribune
gives the following amusing incident,
growing out of the present suffrage move
ment. Two parties arrived at the Capt.
tai House in that city, the gentleman be-
ing registered as DR.. Blackwell, and the
lady as Lucy Stone. The register, IS it
appeared, did not appear to show to the
Clerk OF the Capitol that the parties were
''man aud wifi" but simply two different
aud unconnected individuals. The gen
tlenan remarked that they ''Wished a
room" The clerk thought Of course that
the two could not occupy single room.
but Was informed that Ons room would be
quite sufficient; thsreuPon. s cool IS pos
sible under the circumstances, our friend
said: ''But We don't do business 10 that
way" Explanations followed. and the
matter was Amicably arranged. so that DR..
Blackwell and Lucy Stone occupied the
same room.-Leav. Conservative.
We endorse the following pointed COM
ment on the above from the Leavsnworth
Bulletin:
at is a matter Of taste, but We think
true Womanbood would sooner sink indi-
viduality and assertions of independence
of her husband. upon = hotel register 4,
than incur the just suspicion involved in
such efforts to show the world their
rights"
To avoid any Misrepresentation or trOub
le on the part of hotel keepers or others
in this part of the State who may have
the honor of entertaining the above par
ties, We will state that Lucy Stone aud
Doctor Blackwell are man aud wife, or
rather. woman and husband, having ''con-
Iracted" to that effect eevsraI years ago.

RE oBJEoT.

We respectfully and earnestly object 10
the effort being made By the Spscial ErisadS
of female suffrage to ran The two PROPOSE
tons to change our constitution together,
under the captivating heads Of ''Univsssal
Suffrage" Reform" etc. Not that We
are opposed to ''fsmals suGrAgs." but for
the reason that there are hundreds If nol
Thousands Of voters 10 the State who are
In favor Of what Is commonly called ''ns.
gro suffFags" sbO will not support the
proposition to strike the word ''malS''
from our State Constitution. We like to
zee every tub stand on its own bottom.
There is danger. If these two propositions
are to be run side By side. that both will
be defeated. Many voters who are in f..
vor Of manhood suffrage" and not in
favor of "fsmals suffrage" think it = rad
ical step enough, to be taken 1t once. to
give the negroes the right to vote. They
don't wait too much aG once. An over.
dose may disgust them and drive them to
90 against both. Our friends who are
making "femals suffrage" their specially
will pardon as for tayiug that We consider
tie proposition to strike out the word
white" far more important, juet nov.
than the one to which they are dsvoting
their special efforts. The granting Of
suffrage to the negro lie the natural 6uish-
ing stroke to the abolition of slavery.
We consider it of great importance to
finish this job now. The South brought
on the war to save and PerpstuAts slavery.
The Republican party, after improper de
lays. was compelled to iuscribe upon lie
banners the total abolition of slavery.
When it did this it conquered the
rebellion. Slavery abolished, the ques.
ton as to what should be done with the
colorsd race arose and WAS discussed.
