The Connecticut Legislature organ
lied to-day. Gov. English, in his mes
sage, says that the situation ofpublic az
fairs Is in every aspect important. He
urges that as citizens of a common
country, we should strive to extinguish
and Vindicate the resentments engen-
deTsd by the late civil war, and waged
to maintain the supremacy of the Fed
eral Constitution ana the integrity of
the Union. he stated that the great
object was not yet attained; the Union
not restored; ten States denied particle
patton in the national government by
the action of Congress; should these
measures be persisted in ! they
will transform the Republic into
despotism. He deems that the
course of legislation pursued by
Congress Is wholly unwarranted,
and as fatal to the Union and Constitu-
ton as the doctrine of secession. The
legislation of the 39th Congress, to a
large extent, was a series of usurpa-
tons and infractions of the Constitu-
tinn. He ALSO argues that Congress has
no more power, under the Constitution,
to establish military government In
the Southern States than 10 institute an
order Of nobility in England; and he
claims that Congress assumed that
power only for the purpose of more
thoroughly accomplishing the subVer-
sion of State authority; il Congress can
legislatiate for those States It is not
difficult to foresee a like interference in
other States, and rights; of States, to
regulate internal affairs In their own
way, henceforth, subject to the caprice
of Congress. He speaks of the Senate
as an arrogating power to select
as well as to confirm, bat as debating
to the President in regard to his APP
pointments. It was in pursuance of a
purpose to absorb the functions which
legitimately appertainl to other bran
ches of the Government, that 1t was
proposed to take the pardoniuR power
from the President, where the Consti-
tuition had placed 1t, and confer 1t by
an eE post Idct0 proceeding on Con-
gress. He does not doubtthe taeit sub
mission OF the southern people to the
rule provided for them, but serious
questions arise from precedent estab-
lished by Congress. The funded debt OF
the State has been reduced, the past
year 81 800. He recommends the adop-
ton of u law making eight hours a le-
gal days work. In conclusion he In
voked infinite power for wisdom and
guidance to perform the duties c0nfided
