ELECTIONS TO.

Elections are held to-day in Connecticut
Michigan and Florida
In Connecticut, the election is for Governor,
Secretary of State, Treasurer, Comptroller,
and members of the State Senate and House OF
Representatives. Last year the Democrats
elected their candidate for Governor by eS7
majority. In 1S65 the Radicals had a majority
OF 81. The total vote for Governor last year
wss:-Democratie, ~ r565; Radical, 1850; scat
tering, n. In the State Senate last year there
were n Radicals and 10 Democrats, and in
the House, 12i Radicals and ia Democrats;
Radical majority on joint ballot, II. The Re-
publicans seem confident to-day OF carving
the State by a small majority.
The election in Michigan is on the adoption
or rejection of the new State constitution. The
following propositions will be voted on sep
arately Whether there shall be an annual or
biennial sessions Of the Legislature; whether
the Legislature shall or shall not prohibit the
saleof ardent spirits as beverage, and whether
negro suffrage shall be allowed. In 1866 Mich
igan gave the Republican candidate for Gov
eInor 29,"3e.

THE INDUSTRIAL HOME SCHOOL.

An application was made by the managers of
this institution last week to the City Councils
Tor an appropriation in aid of their humane
enterprise. Although the cramped state of
our Corporation finances advises to &c norny.
we think it would be judicious, even in AN
economical point of view, 70 make a small
appropriation IN behalf of the school. 1t is
certainly cheaper and better to prevent pauper
ism and vice than to support 1t. Georgetown
has already made contribution, we see. and
Washington has much larger share of the
benefits OF the undertaking than our neighbor
city.
The Industrial Home School is not a reform
school proper, but rather a home for all chill
dren whose parents are either so helplessly
poor or wretchedly wicked as ID incapacitate
them TO take care Of their offspring 1t is the
example OF Just SUCH parents that laws the
foundations for vice in their children which
later costs the community so much to control
IL is not an institution where the commission
of crime is prerequisite admission, as in
the case Of Reform Schools and Houses of
Refuge. A class of children is provided for
here not reached by any other charitable instI.
tuition. instruction is given in the ordinary
branches OF education, sewing and manual
labor. and the inmates are supplied with one
substantial meal day. Some forty children
are now provided for at the school, and no WIS.,
itor can fail to be impressed with its great USE
fulness. The officers of the institution wa
should add, are among our best citizens, who
have not only contributed largely of their
means 10 its support, but have given inyalu
able time to Its work.

THE CANAL.

ball passed the Board of Aldermen some
months ago for cleaning the Canal What has
become OF lit The season during which the
Canal can be cleaned with safety in a sanitary
point of view, is rapidly awning to a close
and we shall soon have the hot sun of summer
fostering the contents OF this four-mile pool of
denominations. The argument that the Canal
franchise should be given over to a private
company, and thus save the expense of clean
irg II. is not sound one. No city can afford
20 put its main artery of sewerage out of its
control, and some day IL will BE- absolutely
necessary for the health of the city that Tia.
Canal shall be covered in, al least that portion
OF II used a sewer. A portion, only, Of the
priyy drainage OF the city now finds its way
into the Canal. but at the present rate of tap
ping the sewers for this purpose IL will not be
a very long time before the Canal will be filed
with this kind OF drainage, and as the Canal is
not running stream We shall have its death
dealing contents swashed backwards and for
wards through the heart Of the city at each
tide and never finding an exit sufficiently tree
10 carry of its impurities
We must wake up to the necessity CT putting
cur own shoulders 10 the wheel instead of CALI
ing upon Jupiter 10 help us out of the rut
Congress IS likely 10 do very little for us in the
way OF appropriations this year; but not for
that should we fail to carry ON the work of i'm
proving the city. The future prosperity of
Washington city depends in a large measure
upon its beng made attractive; an agreeable
ana beautiful place of residence. Some day
there will come more serious and vigorous
effort to move the Capitol OF the nation else
" here than has Vet been made, and the most
powerful and effective argument in favor OF the
scheme, will be the discomforts and disagree
bies OF living in Washington. We must pre-
pare ourselves IN advance 10 do away with the
force OF such an argument, and above all of AL
lowing no lapse in the sanitary condition of the
City.
IL this connection the Canal is the first OBJ
Ject needing attention. II should be PROMPTLY
cleaned out from end TO end. and the contents
used TO fill up the malarial swamp near the
Monument, according 10 the bill above
referred TO. This done, it should be kept
Clean by dredgers. Responsible parties
agree TO contract 10 keep it clean for four or
five thousand dollars year after il has once
been cleared out. We do not anticipate that
the Corporation VIII ever realize any great
profit from the Canal, bat the income will GER
.sinly pay more than the interest Of the money
required to clean II, and the sum required 10
dTedge II annually. The Canal can be but little
more than the great main sewer of the city: n
must b. treited a a sewer, cleaned a. a sewer
and some day II will b. requisite to veil its Of
fensiyeness by covering it. The city must
never lose control over it.

COUNTING CHICKENS {,

Among the political gossip floating around
Columbus is an item to the effect that the
Democratic majority in the Ohio Legislature
propose 10 keep that body in session until af
ter the impeachment trial has been concluded.
in order 10 elect Senator to fill the place thew
claim will be made vacant in the event that
Senator Wade is promoted TO the Presidency.
rice A. j., deposed. Those pretending to know,
even go so far as TO declare that his successor
has been decided upon, and intimate that Hon.
II. j. Jewett, at present a member of the lower
house OF the Ohio Legislature is to be the
happy man.
On the other hand the Republicans hold, of
course, that no vacancy will exist by reason of
the contingency referred to, which they admit is
likely TO arise. They argue that Mr.. Wade can
only become or continue to be President by
virtue Of the fact that he is a Senator of the
United States and President pro tenn of the
Senate, and that If in accepting the Presidency
he yacates his place in the Senate he would
necessarily cease to be President of the United
States. They insist, in other words, that h.
only holds the latter Off because he holds the
former and that the trainers of the Coustitu
tion could never have intended to do so awk
ward and foolish a thing as to make the filling
Of az Office according to the requirements of
that Instrument disqualification for holding
the same.
The matter is one upon which a good deal
may be said upon both sides, and it is attracting
considerable attention in Ohio and elsewhere.
However 1T may be finally settled we doubt
whether the Legislature will remain In session
so long Il time as will likely be requisite to
meet the emergency expected to arise and thus
prevent the appointment of Mr.. Wade's sue
cessor, when required, by the Republican Gov
ernOr. The members of that body are paid a
per diem compensation, and the taxpayers of
the State are FESTIVE under long sessions.

AN IDEA OF PRoeREss.-It Is talked of seri
ously to form a company in the United States
for the purpose Of selling motive power, trans.
mItted by compressed air in iron tubes from a
central focus to any machine shop or manu-
featuring establishment in any part of a great
city. 1t rs eontended that such motive power
Is equal &c any other now in use, aud can be
transmitted to any given point like water or
gas This idea, if practically developed to the
anticipated extent, would cause an immense
amount OF work now done by hand to be done
by machinery. 1t would reduce the cost OF
machine labor one-half, cause tall chimnevs
and steam engines TO disappear, reduce tho
danger OF explosion to comparative nauvbt
and be Of great advantage in q sanitary asnec,
The idea originated in France.
