Gov. Hawley, the defeated radical govern
or of Connecticut,is editor of newspaper call
ed the Hartford Press, and in review OF
his defeat, he attributes the result to San
drew johnson, Gideon Welles. James Dixon,
the disaffection of Mr.. Foster, the bribery OF
the copperheads, and the influx of the for
eign vote" He says: "Had Connecticut
been blessed with two senator's like severai
who could be named from New England,
the state would to-day be republican by fve
or ten thousand majority" Hefurther says
at has been the curse of the republican par
ty that it has permitted certain men II. IN the
state to act as its leaders and enjoy its offices
who have only cared for its offices, and no
at all for its principles" and he is severe Oh
the corrupt foreign vote, declaring THAT thu
extraordinary use of money has enabled the
sham democracy to use the foreign vote t.
the fullest extent We judge that he Is no

The friends of the constitution in the rad
ical ranks are beeomi g holder and boider
A few of them in New Hampshire braved
the epithets of a slandering press and voied
with the democracy, thereby handsomely re-
ducing the radical majority. More of them
defed the malice of the ''rebel' shriekers OF
Connecticut, and arrayed themselves with the
democracy in support of the Union and ofthe
constitution as our fathers framed it. The
example will spread. Let our democratic
brethren encourage the republicans who
repudiate congressional dictation, not BY
dwelling ON past names and past issues, but
BY rallyiag all true men to the support OF ths
great issue of the hour: Popular govern
ment in the states, or congressional dictatiol
to the states.

"Rebels- and rebellion" TRAITORS sand
sympathy with treason have been pretty
good catchwords and have scared many an
old granny in breeches, but we reckon that
their spell is exhausted. The people of this
country understand that the Legislation OF
congress makes the plain issue whether the
Government is to be revolutionized or not, by
clothing congress with the power to declare
"null and void" the constitutions of the
states. Even>timid republicans are learning
that it is better to be classed with 'rebels
by partisan slanderers, than to sustain consoh
dationists who would govern the country BY
a congressional directory. That is the sig
nifcance of the Connecticut election.

MOUTHS TO FEED.

In field and workshop sounds the song
From labor's brave and manly throng
IT'S mountain-echoed far and near,
IT'S joy to every honest ear.
Each anvil stroke, if we but heed,
Chimes with the burden-"Mouthst to feed
A cry that nerves the weary hand,
A mighty rhythm, proud and grand
A song that wakes the sleeping brain,
A warning note in joy and pain,
Though heart may faint and feet may bleed,
No spur like this ONE Mouths to feed"
A song for you, a song for me,
Of low and pleading melody.
Then up and toll with smiling face;
To fail or falter is disgrace.
The kindly word, the noble deed,
I Make sweet the burden-"Mouthst to feed"

Short Dresses.

A remarkable change in fashion Is the III
+rodnct;on of the s.short,' suit. Many trem-
bled while adopting so daring an innovation,
fearing ridicule, or that fashion so strange
and unexpected would vanish as suddenly as
it appeared.
The new short dress is thoroughly femi-
nine. It frees women from all the obstacles
to walking and outdoor exercise, without Of
Tending their taste or their scruples. 1t is
simple, compact, requires little material
few skirts, and those small and narrow, re-
heves the body of all supertiuons weight, and
in CONJUNCTION with the admirable thlek-soleo
walking boots now in vogue, furnishes
costume for the street as nearly perfect as
any one can expect to get IN this transitory
and imperfect state of existence. .
1t is not known how long the fashion will
continue to be accepted abroad-but it is
| Greatly to be hoped that it will be sustained
| here. A generation of short dresses would
| enable our American women to grow, and
nurse their own children, and prove great
step towards a universal millennium.
| The STYLE of making short dresses is lnt-
| nitely varied, but the prettiest are cut
| straight at the edge and open upon the sides,
over the petticoat. The jacket accompany
ling these is short and straight, somewhat
1 loose. and cut up on the sides also.
The first short dresses were universally
cut in ..dents," or teeth, square or pointed
and many of them are cut out In various
| wavs still but the palmer method is geher
/ ally considered in the best taste.
Balmoral skirts in fancy eolors, or witt
