me Connecticut EIection.


TIE Connecticut election is so close as to
afford no evidence of any change in popular
sentiment upon the great political issues of
the day. There are numberless influences
constantly operating among large masses of
men sufficient to change two or three hundred
votes out of hundred thousand, which is
all that this election indicates, without any
change in the general political sentiment
being manifested. In this instance the Demo
cratic candidate was assisted by the Federal
Administration, by Senators Dixon and Foster,
who were elevated to power by the Republ-
cans, and by many other ofhceholders who
were looking out for their "bread and butter"
very direct and powerful effort was also
made by the Democrats to turn the eight-hour
movement to political account, and pro-
bably with some effect. 1t is not unlikely,
too, that the hue and cry raised against
P. T. Barnum may have lost us something on
the general vote. Those portions of the State,
too. where the Democratic vote is heaviest,
are those most directly under the influence of
New York city. Any or all of these influences
are sufficient to account for the slight change
of three or four hundred votes that has Oc-
Cured. So far as great national questions are
concerned, the vote amounts to nothing what
ever. English was run mainly on his own
abolition record in voting in Congress for the
Constitutional amendment abolishing slavery,
and not on that of his party. The simon-pure
Copperheads had to stand back, and let man
run who was less obnoxious to popular senti-
ment than themselves, and whose greatest
claim to support was that he had acted Nth
the Republicans on the great test question of
the abolition Of slavery. The election of such
man by only three hundred majority does
not look like any very alarming change in
public sentiment.
And, as we remarked last Saturday, the
result in Connecticut makes no perceptible
impression upon the great Union majority in
the nation. We may lose now and then a
State in the North, now and then a Congress
man, but we shall more than make up for
their loss in the reconstructed States of the
South. In comprehensive view, it would
perhaps, be we'll if few small Northern States
should be carried by the Democrats, so as to
deprive their party Of its intensely sectional
character and give it some few elements of
nationality. That one OF these should be a
New England State is desirable to soften the
sectional animosity felt towards that part OF
our country by the Democratic party. II
they could now and then carry New England
State, they might not be so anxious to 'leave
New England out in the cold"

The Elections Yesterday.

ELECTIONS were held yesterday in Michigan
Ohio, and Connecticut.
In Michigan the Republicans carry the State
as usual, electing, among other officers,
majority of the Constitutional Convention to
frame new Constitution for the State.
In Ohio municipal elections only were held,
and in these the Republicans exhibit their
usual strength. Cincinnati elects the whole
Union ticket by 5000 majority, and gains are
exhibited in Columbus and other places.
In Connecticut the Republicans elect both
branches of the Legislature, but lose the Gov
ernor by very close vote, and three of the
Congressional Districts.
THE "TRIBUNE," "HERALD," AND "woRLD" ON
CONNECTICUT.
The result in Connecticut, while it has sur
prised no one who has been watching the con-
test, has created various opinions in regard to
its cause in the breasts of the Republicans,
Conservatives, and Democrats. Each looks
upon it as the result of different agencies, and
it is amusing to see the way in which the
election is received. The calm determination
of the Radicals, the all-wise Bunsbyism of the
Democrats, each shows the feelings of the par
ties A good index is afforded us in the tone
this morning, of the N. Y. Tribune Herald
and World, fit types of the various parties.
The Tribune says:-
"The time has been when a Copperhead vic.
tory in Connecticut would have seriously in.
juTed the cause of the Union. We should have
esteemed the election OF Thomas Ii. Seymour
over Governor Buckingham, in 1868 or 1854 a
national calamity; The war had not been
fought through, and Rebel victory on Northern
soil always seemed more disastrous In its inf1u.
ence than any that the cohorts of Lee could win
in Virginia. The election of Horatio Sey.
Wadsworth was reinforcement of ten
thousand men to the Rebel armies Con.
necticuL can do no such mischief to-day. The
mischief she does is mainly within her own
borders. She has put good men out of office
and bad men IN. She rejects gallant Union
soldier for q member of that party which
throughout the war reserved its admiration for
soldiers on the other side, and which, since
eulogies Of Robert E. Lee We regret Gov,
ernor Hawley's defeat but we think he car

The Tribune ascribes the defeat to the LAWS
expenditure of money, and states that it
free to say, ''thatif Mr.. English had been 3
poor man as Governor Hawley, he woul
have had no chance whatever Of an election.

Our State Loan.

THE bids for the State loan of $23, ,000, 900 were
opened yesterday, and the best proof afforded
that the capitalists of the country have the
most implicit faith in the honor of Pennsyl-
vania. About year since we urged upon our
authorities the absolute necessity of at once
providing for the payment of the debt of the
Commonwealth then overdue. We stated
that not only honor but economy demanded
such provision, and favored the plan since
so successfully carried out by our able State
Treasurer Hon. William H. Kemble. The
worse than negligence which had allowed the
loan to mature, and then remain unpaid, had
caused a.depreciation Of our bonds, and the
State Skies were selling far below par. By
the simple process of creating new debt, with
which to pay the old one, we have raised the
value of the loans of the Commonwealth, and
rescued our name from all tinge of dishonor.
The fact that while twenty y-three millions were
wanted over thirty millions were bid for,
proves, besides popular confidence, that there
is large excess of capital lying idle waiting
for some chance of safe and permanent
investment. With such an excess, we must
ascribe the present inert condition of the bust
ness world to a feeling of insecurity engen-
dered by the continued agitation of the ques-
tion of reconstruction. If both sections would
but see that the continuation of the discussion
is retarding the progress of each; that the
North has capital lying idle which the South
needs to resuscitate her exhausted energies,
and which she could have if she did but act
like sane people, much difficulty would be
avoided, and mutual benefit result to both.
The bids which were opened yesterday
ranged from par for the 5 per cent to1O5 for
| the per cent. loan. OF the whole amount,
| $16,000,O 900 were bid for by Messrs. Jay Cooke
& Co., Drexel & Co., and L. w. Clarke & Co.,
for themselves and large list of persons
whom they represented.
The debt of the State at present, less
the amount of money in the treasury,
amounts to about $34 900 only. From
this should be deducted $l2, 900, 900 in bonds
of the Pennsylvania Central, Philadelphia
and Erie, and other railroads and canals, for
which $ll ,OOO, 900 may be considered fair
valuation. This leaves but $23, 3,O00, 900 with
which we are required to deal at
present. When it is remembered that
the debt of the State is much less
than that of many of our larger cities; that it
is absolutely free from all taxation, except
such as is imposed on the national loans by
the operation of the Income Tax law; and that
sinking fund is provided by which the whole
amount can be paid off in less than seventeen
years, it is easy to account for the eagerness
with which bids for this new loan were sent
in. It is also gratifying to learn that the
greater portion of these bids were from oul
own citizens, who properly appreciate thu
superiority of this security over all others IL
the market.

ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO EVENING TELBGRAPH.l
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.
Montgomery Blair called at the War Depart
ment this morning to ask for the reinstatement
OF a clerk, discharged recently upon the reduo-
tion of the clerical force. Blair's request was
not complied with, and he left in a huff, de-
claring that General Grant would not reinstate
the clerk because he was Democrat, In reolv
to this remark, he was informed that politics
had nothing to do with the qualifications of
clerks IN the War Department, either in their
appointment or discharge.
General Steedman arrived this morning from
Philadelphia, and he and Dan voorhees, and
Jerry Black were in consultation considerable
portion of the morning with johnson, IL is sun
posed fixing up matters in regard to the new
appontee of the War Department, or discussing
the chances of impeachment, a subject upon
which just now the President Is considerably
exercised in mind.
General Candy has notified Grant that he has
completed arrangements for the coming cleo
ton In North and South Carolina, and appointed
officers to conduct the election, which takes
place the second week in November.
General Grant has not yet commenced pre-
pairing his annual reports, either as General-in.
Chief Of the Army or Secretary of War ad
interim, as has been stated.
The Treasury officials authorize a contradic.
ton of the sensational story published in last
evenings Express here, that upwards of one
million counterfeit Seven-thirty bonds had
been circulated all over the country, and that
the headquarters of the counterfeiting gang
were in Philadelphia, where it alleged the
counterfeit bonds were printed. The story ap-
pears to have been manufactured out of whole
cloth, for none of the pretended facts are known
at the Treasury Department. These reports are
highly injurious to the national credit, tending
to create distrust with all bondholders, and are
evidently concocted for speculative purposes.
Commissioner Rollins has directed expert
ments to be made with various processes for
removing cancellation marks from internal
revenue stamps, and such is the facility with
which these marks may be removed by chemi-
cal agents, that in some instances stamps which
apparently have been completely defaced have
been restored to their original condition, and 1t
would puzzle sharp observer to detect that
cancellation marks had ever been placed upon
them. 1t is understood these experiments will
be continued until the Department has secured
IA process which WIN cancel stamps so perfectly
as to prevent them from ever being used a.
second time.
