The election in Washington City
took place last Monday, resulting in the
complete triumph of the Radicals, who
elected their City ticket and majority
of the Councilmen. The number O
registered voters was 9,792 whites and
s,212 negroes. The negroes of course
voted solidly with the Radicals, as they
will be certain to do in all the Southern
States.

In the House, the bill allowing per cent. inter- est was discussed and tabled as would appear. The vote on Woman's Suffrage was taken, Ayes, e3 ; Noes, Ill. resolution of thanks was passed to Speaker Wait announced with a complimentary speech by Mr. Hammersley of Hartford. A silver tea set was then presented to the Speaker by NIT. Waller of New London, on behalf of the members of the House. Presents were also made to the Clerks. The Senate then appeared and took seats with the House, the Lieut. Gov. in the Chair. Hu- morous resolutions were then in order. One of them provided that the engraved phyiognomy of the member from Huntington, MT. Bennett, [who sion and opposed all appropriations with great im- partiatyl shall be borne hereafter on the bonds of the State as proofs of their genuineness. Mr Hammersley said that would scarcely be necessa- ry inasmuch as his imprint is already on the mo- nev-chest. CGreat laughter.]
 The Governor and State Officers were then an- nounced. The former made short speech, and the Legislature was formally adjourned.

In relation to the Ordination and Install lation of MT. Williams as given by your correspondent week before last. Deacon Patterson says ''the statement is incorrect and wishes you to correct it." Deacon P. ''thinks stated that the Consociation had ordained MT. Williams over the church on the Hill and that their delegate had con- sented that their church should be called by new name." Now, if Deacon P. would think again tor what would be much better look and see) he would find your oorrespon- dent said no such thing. The only cor rection needed is simply to substitute for with the appreciation of the church. The Church made no objection to the change of name on the Records of Consolation.

FOREIGN. GN.-Further rumors of war having arisen out of difficulty between Prussia and Denmark regarding >the province of North Schleswig, which. by the treaty of last year, was to. have been given up to Denmark. It is stated that Napoleon has written to the King of Prussia urging him to give up that province; that the Czlr of Russia joins in the recommendation; and the official Journal of Vienna declares that it is the right and interest of the Emperor Napoleon to enforce the treaty of Prague. The Paris Moniteur publishes an official de- nial relative to the supposed sending of a note by Napoleon to King William, and on Monday declared that the prevailing ru- mors of war were without foundation The sincerity of these repeated denials, howev- official journals of Berlin continue to urge the political affairs of Germany.

The Legislature.

We drew long breath of relief as this body finally quilted Hartford, last Satur day, promising never to return. As far as we can judge from meagre newspaper re ports they have legislated less than usual It is, in fact, an Assembly i'll calculated fo1 the transaction of business. The Democra cy sent delegation unusually strong 1T reputation and talent, while the Republi cans were weaker than usual in both res poets. The natural consequence has been that the Democrats, feeling no responsibili ty, talking we'll and liking to hear them selves talk, have consumed an immense deal of time in debate; and being, moreover, nearly equal in numbers, have done SC much bullying, fllibustering, and seeding as to delay business still more, and lose much of the influence they would other wise have had on legislation. We do not believe either, that the average value ot their talk has been anything like equal tc that of the Republican side, who, saying nothing, as general thing, unless they had something to say, have often said that something exceedingly well-especially, we hear, in the case of Mr. Smith of Wood bury.
 There is a certain amount of Legislative tinkering that every Assembly feels called on to perform, of which this year has seen its full share; but in matters ofimportance the Legislature has been far less remarkable for what it has done, than for what 1t has mot done. Our absurd Usury laws have not been repealed; we are not allowed to vote, as we should have been, on the question o1 holding State elections in the fall, nor in favor of a single capital and a single res. pectable State House; no adequate provi- sion has been made for the speedy admin istration of justice; and in fact we know oi no measure of real interest and importance that has been passed. On the other hand the Connecticut has not been bridged; the Maine law has not been repealed; our di- vorce laws have not been meddled with; our Militia and School systems have not been more than usually upset, except per. haps in the abolition of the Normal School the resolutions strangling which we hope may not be signed by the Governor.
 On the whole, looking at the evil this Legislature might have done and at the good it did not do; seeing, too, how much more chance there has been of it's accom- plishing the former than of the latter, we arc inclined to take what we have got and be thankful.

 The book closes with lecture on "Cleri cal Elocution, originally delivered before the Episcopal Divinity School in Philadel- phia, which briefly and forcibly points out some of the more common errors fallen in to by ministers. The style of reading in the pulpit is certainly very bad As gen. eral rule, the more ministers read the worse they read. Every one, probably, who has paid attention to the manner in which ministers go through iturgical service, has observed, also, that what they read oftenest, they read worst. Their sermons are often we'll delivered; those portions of the service which change each Sunday are by no means as we'll read as the sermon usually in formal, unnatural tone; while the forms that are used every Sunday are almost invariably delivered in the worst manner of all-the formal unnaturalness increasing to such an extent as to be ex- tremely repulsive to those who are not ac- customed to it by practice. The correct ness Of Holmes representation of the young Episcopal priest who so deepened his tones and rolled his IS that his own mother would not have known him, cannot be denied. MT. Gould thus comments on one of the pulpit mannerlsms of the day: "Ithe,' and miller in public speaking, and especially in the pulpit, where they are now begin ming to take the horrible proportions of a fashion, are grievous annoyances to which helpless audience should not be subject ed.''

Coop ESGL1sH-The book lately publish ed under this title by Mr. Edward S..
