We are indepted to Mr. Ransom clerk of the Superior Court for copy of the fol- lowing ancient officers receipt:-
 Salisbury October 21st 1757.
 Received by me the subscriber Gabriel Butcher of said Salisbury, of Oliver Vol colt of Litchfeld, Sheriff of Litchfeld County, four Negroes. The one of said Negroes is named Tom, aged about fifty; another named Mary, woman aged about fifty; another named Zack, boy aged about eleven; another named Adam, aged about six years. Which said Negroes were on this day taken by ye said Wolcott by Vertue of an execution granted out, Octo- Der, third day, A. D. 1757, and signed by by Isaac Baldwin, Clerk of Litchfield Coun- ty Court, in favour of Jeremiah Hogoboom of Claverick, against John Butcher of Sails bury Said execution demands G94:7:2, New York Money, debt &c. and said es- tate was taken from ye said John which said Estate hereby promise we'll and safe ly to keep till ye tenth day of November next. and then redeliver ye said negroes to him ye said Wolcott or his order at ye pub- lick sign post in Salisbury, as witness my Hand GABRIEL BUTCHER. 7"
 We always favor the publication of an cient documents like the above, since they afford great pleasure to men of all parties ito us of the radical persuasion, for the evidence they furnish of the immense ad- vance single century has brought about in New England, to people of the Conser- vative faith, for the evidence they furnish that the New England ofa century since was no further advanced than they are
 We publish it, also, in some sort as a peace offering to our friend of the Sentinel. To his conservative soul we presume it will give moment of exquisite delight to see the State of Connecticut, through her sheriff at the Salisbury auction post, endorsing his favorite theory, that "A state of dependence is the normal condition of the negro. It is only under the tuition of masters that he advances"

9S Zaleucus, the Locrian law-giver, or dalned that he who propos ed new law or change in an old one, should appear with rope around his neck, prepared to be strangied where he stood, in case his prop osltlon was not accepted. Were our Ste- venses, our Buffers, and our Schencks held to a similar accountability, &c.-Senlinel
 zaleucus was evidently genuine Con- servative his style of proceeding shows that. He was law-maker by profession, and after he had made code of laws pro- posed that nobody should change them, ex- cept under the embarrassing circumstances above described. Just so the Democracy for sixty years had monopoly of law -mak- ing, and now they modestly propose to bowstrins whoever offers to change their en- actments! We have no objection to their trying such plan when they get into pow CT; it would offer a mode of eliminating g Wood, Morrissey and other noted Demo cratic legislators from the political problem in style peculiarly appropriate to their way of life.

Ras~ The men who hold the reins of pow CT are wholly irresponsible and stand req dy to commit any outrage that will tend to enhance their party's power. Nothing but the fear of publicity restraints them from Crime. If they believe it to be for their interests that Wm. H. Barnum be deprived of his rights and the mountebank snowman so signally rebuked by our people, put into his seat it will be done, irrespective of law, right or justice.
 In the first place it has not been propos- ed to place MT. P. T. Barnum in the seat now occupied by w. II. Barnum. If, how ever, the bribery and corruption practiced by friends 9fthe latter gentlemen at the last election can be bropgh home to him, he will undoubtedly bd busted and a new election ordered. Does any honest man of any party object to that?
 If, furthermore, the men who control the Republican party stand ready to commit any outrage that will tend to enhance their party's power, why do they refuse to inn peach Johnson?

Litchfield County Incomes

We doubt very much the propriety of the practice, which has become so general, of publishing the incomes assessed under the Internal Revenue Act It may be right that the Government should enquire as carefully as it does into the condition of mems affairs, with view to an equal taxa tion; but is it acting honorably when it allows the results of those enquiries to be published? Under the former arrange ment, one advantage, indeed was gained by the publicity; people could judge for themselves of the honesty with which their neighbors had made their returns Now, however, the income from the stocks of banks and other corporations paying this tax direct to the government, is omitted; and the published returns are consequent ly much less certain indication of the correctness of individual assessments.
 When matter of this general interest has been made public, our readers are en- titled to it. and We subjoin the list of coun- ty incomes which has appeared in the Wins ted Herald:

Congress.

The business of Congress is substantially finished On Saturday the bill amending and explaining the Reconstruction bill passed both houses and was sent to the President. It's esrly return is expected and with it's passage over the Presidents veto the business of the session will end. The provisions of the new bill are substantially as follows
 Sec l. Declares that there are no legal State governments ill the seeded States, and that the present governments are in all respects subordinate to the authority of the military commanders, and to General Grant
 Sec. f. Ratities removals and appoint ments already made, and makes it obliga- tory to remove all ,lisloyal officials.
 Sec. ,. Provides that the oath of an ap- plcant for registration shall not be conclu sive of his right to be registered. but that i he may be examined under oath and that other evidence may be taken. All names rejected, however, to be returned with ob- iections, to the Commanding General
 Sec. 6. Defines the term executive or judicial office, '' having held which, before or during the rebellion. disiIanchises un- der tie original act
 Sec. T. Extends the time for completing the registration till October ?. 1867.
 The remaining sections arrange matters of detail, provide that no District Com mander shall be bound in his action by the opinions of any U. S. civil officer, and that the Reconstruction acts shall be construed literally.
 On Monday, the President sent into the Senate one of the most remarkable mes sages promulgated during the present Ad ministration. Having been enquire of relative 10 the probable appropriation which would be required to carry the Re construction act into effect, he estimates the necessary expense at SIG, ,000, ,OOO which, he says, "would be largely increased, if the United States, by ab olishing the exist ing State governments, should become re- sponsible for liabilities incurred by them before the Rebellion" amounting to SlOO,- 900. So preposterous an idea found no supporters even among the Democrats ill the Senate.

The Judgeships.

On Wednesday of last week the House concurred with the Senate in electing Messrs. Sanford and Granger, Judges of the Superior Court / Neither of them are leaders of the bar in their respective coun
 ties; still, as both are, as age is reckoned among lawyers, young men," it by no mems follows that they have not the abil- ities that would qualify them for such position. Mir. Granger, the appointee from Litchfeld county is probably known personally to most of our readers as law yer in good practice and as a more than ordi- narily popular member of the bar. He will take his place on the bench with the cordial good wishes of his legal brethren.
 We have opposed the election of these gentleman. strenously, thinking that the State stood in need, just now, of men of larger experience in the transaction of jul dicial business and who had already been proved exactly the men for the emergency. We have especially disliked, too, the sec tional jealousies and combinations which have led to the rejection of the best names proposed. While, therefore, We think the Legislature has run an unnecessary risk in selecting comparatively untried material for such important positions, We sincere ly hope these appointments may prove q check to that manifest deterioration of the bench which has been going on since the passage ot the constitutional amendment limiting the term of office to eight years.
