The Democracy in Conn ecticut.

The ottio.ai text of the Connecticut
Democratic State Committees cal for a
convention in New Haven, January 8, OF.
'ters in no essential particular from the
New Haven telegram published in the
Wortd last Thursday. But we notice
that call is addressed, not only to the
democracy Of CoNNEoucUT, but to
"al others who would unite with them in
council, " "for the purpose Of considering
the revolutionary acts CT the present Rad
ical Congress, aud to adopt luuh meas
ures as will thwart the schemes Of the
traitors who are cndeavoring to subvert
the Constitution and the Government of
our fathers" The very closely contested
election III that State last spriug shows
that there is large amount of patriotism
IN Connecticut, and this call appeals to
more than strictly Democratic voters
There is every prospect, from the vote Of
last spring, that Connecticut will elect
Democratic State ticket in April, and re-
turn, perhaps, one or more of the four
Rcprese ntativcs to Congress. 1t has been
usual for the Connecticut Democrats to
delay nominating a State ticket till after
the convention Of their opponents. This
year they are first in the field, and they
begin the work with vigor and doter,ni.
nation which show that the loss of LIST
years election, by deficiency SO small
that ordinary effort ought to have over
come it, is to be redeemed, if possible, in
April while the national questions to be
thoi oughly discussed by this convention
will excite marked attention throughout

The Tremors of the Grand Crash,


For short time past there have been
premonitory symptoms Of that financial
storm that is yet destined to tumble down
in one grand catastrophe the g itteriag,
gossamer wealth that the greenback inAa-
ton has erected. The spectators and
gamblers in stocks, and in the necossaries
of life, have already received a staggering
blow. Trade is universally dull. The
mechanic arts anguish The shipyards
are idle. Hundreds and thousands now
in New York are out of employment with
no prospect of any ahead. The supcriu.
tendent Of the Five Points House of In
dustry says:
"As friend Of and worker among the
poor-to these who are unemployed any.
where DO not come to New York There
are thousands Of men and women here GU.
Of employment, and many of them in q
suffering condition. There are scarcely an y
branches of'work that have not an over
stock of workmen, and hundreds of men
could be hired here 70, little more than
the board. Let unemployed men 60 ony.
where in the country and work for their
board rather than come to New York;
God only knows what is in store for our
country. The madness of Abolition has
struck out Of existence at single blow
100000 bales of cotton, 1905 hogs
heads of sugar, and over 81, 000, eco worth
Of rice. These three staple articles of
commerce are nearly gone, and however
people may try to think otherwise, they
viii remain gone SO long AS the Abs.
lition policy continues to rule cur
country. This is fact that may as well
be looked squarely in the face first as last
1t is estimated that there are thirty thou
sand Southern men in New York city who
have come hero since the close ofthe war
The breaking down Of production in the
South is the sole cause oft, not the result
Of the war, as many suppose. II die labor

taroed, she would have rapidly rccupcra-
ted. The effects Of the war would even
no" have been scarcely visible But the
overthrow Of production has chaiued the
Southern people to poverty, and 10 the
end i: will drag down the whole country
with them. What need Of building ships
in New York to carry cotton, sugar and
rice when there are none TO carry? The
failures that have already taken place are
but the prelude of the financial storm -

SCEnN CHS
s E A w ED TONIC.

THIS medicine invented by DR.. J. II. Sche ncls,
i of Philadelphia, is intended to dissolve the
food and make it into chyme, the first process
of digestion. By cleansing the stomach with
Schcnck's Mandrake Pills, the Tonic soon re-
stores the appetite, and food that could not be
eaten before using il will be easily digested.
Consumption cannot be cured by Schenek's
Pulmonic Syrup unless the stomach and liver is
made healthy and the appetite restored hence
the Tonic and Pills are required in nearly every
case of consumption. A half dozen bottles ofthe
SEA WEED TONIC and three or four boxes
of the MANDRAKE Pills will cure any or
binary case of dyspepsia.
Dr. Schenck makes professional visits in New
York, Boston, and at his principal office in
Philadelphia every week. See daily papers of
each place, or his pamphlets on consumption for
his days for visitation.

The Amendment in Arkansas.

The committee on Federal relations of the Ar
kansas Senate, to whom was referred the Consti-
tutional Amendment recommended by Congress,
have made a long and strong argument in favor
of the resolution below:
ReSo!Ued, That the General Assembly Of the
State OF Arkansas declines to ratiiy the amend
mcnt adding article fourteen to the Constitution
of the United States, as proposed by joint reso-
luton of Congress
The New York World makes the following
skeleton of the committees report.
l. The State of ARKANSAS has no knowledge
that the amendment was proposed by Congress
competent for that purpose.
2. 1t was never submitted to the President.
3. The dangerous section authorizing Con-
gress to enforce it by appropriate legislation
would virtually abolish the States by divesting
them Of control over their local concerns.
4. The second section carries unborn negro
suffrage in its belly, sand tie committee are Of
opinion that every State Legislature ShOud shrink
from cUor permining the possibility Of such d ca
t0mty"
8. The DISTINGUISHING section cannot be tole-
rated.
The Little Rock Gazette makes the following
summary of the closing part of the report:
We cannot tell what might be in store for this
State; she and others may be forced to take this
amendment, aud even harsher terms but rs
valuable as restoration may be, the people OF Ar
kansas can never agree to purchase it at such
sacrifice of principle, dignity, and selfrespcct as
is demanded in the adoption of this proposed
amendment. We had better bear our troubles,
trials, and deprivations and even wrongs, in dig
ni6ed silence than commit an act Of disgrace, if
not humiliation, such as would result from the
adoption of this amendment by the Legislature
If the Congress Of the United States persist in
denying us representation unless we ratiy the
amendment, iii that event the committee can only
counsel quiet and dign6ed course of conduct
by submitting to what may be thrust upon us
but we shall not by word or act contribute 10
our own downfall or ailliction.

MoLLIB TRUssELL.-It will be recollected that
some time last fall George Trussell, one-haIf
owner Of the celebrated race-horse Dexter, was
killed at Chicago, by girl with whom he had
for some time been living. The act, it seems,
was done in fit of jealousy, and partly in con-
sequence of having been first abused by TrusseIl.
At the trial which has just been concluded at
Chicago Mollie was convicted Of mansaughter,
and sentenced to the penitentiary for one year.
Great interest is taken by prominent persons for
the poor girl, whose extreme beauty has been her
misfortune, and her pardon is looked for with
confidence by those who pity her, now that
trouble has overtaken her.
