The RESULT IN CoNNECTICUT.-The n.
I. Tribune says: On the morning of the
Connecticut election we estimated the vote
for Gov. Hawley at 46,0O0-a majority of
any poll ever yet made in the State. Haw-
leys actual vote was 46, 57S-which is .Ss7
more than Lincoln highest vote, lin 1864, J
which was the highest ever polled for any
one till now. English beats him by the mos
enormous expenditure of money ever yet
made in State election-an expenditure
which was especially efficient in hunting up
alensand running them through the Natu-
ralizatlon mill but which was operative al
so IN bringing to the poll every one who
could be coaxed or bribed to vote. the Dem

An Australian paper announces the recent
discovery of new species of liquid gum
or oil, in that country. A tract of land not
less than ten miles square had been discov-
cred, which everywhere abounded with bub-
bling springs of this gum, or oil, while all
around were vast quantities of the gum sol
idi6ed to the consistency of India rubber.
This when exposed to a fire, burns with a
bright fame, accompanied by thick smoke,
and smell like old grease. The substance
is light, and floats in water.

NoMINATED.-Rev H. Ward Beecher
has been nopinated in Brooklyn, as can
didate for election to the State Constitutional
Convention-a rather interesting and unu-
sual proceeding in New York. In that
State, clergymen are seldom put up for of.
flee, and scarcely do we find them seeking a
nomination for any political position. This
habit seems to be good one, and strictly in
accordance with enlightened propriety. The
position for which Mr.. Beecher has been
named is an exception, however, and there
are many reasons in favor of the proceeding.
In recognizing the fundamental law, the
best minds of all classes and professions in
the land, should be called to take part.

The French exposition seems measurably
to have lost its intero st in the minds of our
people, and is not likely TO attract the crowds
of visitors from this country that were an
ticipated. The dullness of visitors and the
reports of the extortion which the Parisians
have arranged to practice on visitors have
induced many who prepared to 60 to recon-
slider the matter. and postpone their Euro
pean trip to a more favorable season, when
they will be likely to suffer only the ordinary
amount of fleeing at the hands of our Euro
Yean cousins.

It's LATITUDE Commercial says ::
Persons who speak of our newly acquired
Northwestern possessions as region so cold
as to forbid the idea Of population, civiliza-
ton and the arts of commerce, should re-
member that It's southern boundary is south
of large part of Ireland and England, and
Russia in Europe, and all of Scotland and
Denmark, and Sweden and Norway-popu-
lous kingdoms. The prosperous aud famous
cities of Belfast and Londonderry, Carlisle
and Newcastle, Copenhagen, Stockholm
and Moscow, are all north of that line, and
St. Petersburg is several hundred miles
north of it, 1t will not be many years be-
fore free American cities north of it will RI
val many of these we have mentioned.

THE NORTHERN DEMocRACY.-Th New
York correspondent of the Charleston Coa~-
ier, in speaking Of the occasional ''hings"
made by Southern men at the Democracy
of the North, establishes the following
points
l. That the only friends the South have
are in the Democratic party.
2. That the Democratic party would have
stopped the war and secured Southern indie
pendence had they not been 'overborne by
the sentiment of the Northern people.
8. That the Democratic party would have
redeemed its promise to stand by the South
and prevent coercion, if at the critical mo-
ment it had not been deserted by many OF
its prominent men.
4. The consistent Democrats who were for
throwing themselves into the breach in aid
of the Southern rebellion now constitute
the backbone of the Democratic party. and
should not now be abandoned by the South.
The people will appreciate this candid
statement of the Democratic situation; and
we may add, that what is thus admitted is
only what was charged on the Democracy
during the war by all the Republican jour
nalists of the loyal States

1.-The Voice of the People" f"

The Hollidaysburg Register, in comment
ing upon the failure Of the Free Railroad
Law, in the last Legislature, also suggests a
remedy, which, if seconded by the people,
cannot fail to procure the passage of such a
law as the wants of the country seem to de-
mand. 1t says:
awe ad hoped that the Legislature of the last
winter would readily hearken TO the voice of the
people. The House was anti railroad, or 1t SEEM
ed So from some of its decisions. Their duty will
be TO keep it so next year, and in the mean time
the Senate must be reformed. If necessary our
warmest per sonal friends must be discarded, If
they do not ma Ike up their minds to agree to the
most liberal legislation the railroad question
Pennsylvania demands more than one through line
from the Great West She will have it and those
who propose to be candidates for the next Legis-
iature may make up their minds to pledge them
selves to this doctrine If they do not, there will
be hope for them in many counties. We utter
this belief in all candor, because the manifesto
tions of the people indicate it. This demand re-
quires no sacrifice of principles-no betrayal oil
former pledges, and whoever is not willing tC
take this side will scarcely be considered as worthy
of public confidence"
The opinion here expressed by the Reg
lister, is but a reflex of the general senti-
ment of the State None bat faithful men
should be sent to the Legislature, if possible.
Those who have been faithful in the past,
should be remembered in the future. And
if any have been unfaithful heretofore, OF
have manifested a weakness in reference tc
the wishes of the people, they should be
thrust aside as unworthy the suffrages of a
free, liberal minded, and progressive con.
stituency that considers the improvement
and development of the State as paramount
to all personal or individual interests.
