CORNWALL,

John McMurtry, who has been in de. cining health for than a year, died on Monday of this week. He had fitted up and moved into private house, hoping the quiet and leisure would contribute to his restoration to health, but disease had too strong hold on him.
 - Besides the improvement of Mrs. Nc Murtry's house, Mir. D. B. Baldwin has ad- ded piazza to his house, and Dr. Gold continues to add to the attractions of his residence. On Cream Hill, MT. Jacob Scoville is building a new house for his daughter, widow of the late William E. Rogers. At Cornwall Plain we notice new piazzas added to the houses of MT. F. Kellogg and Mrs. Payne, and at Cornwall Bridge, MT. w. c. Wadhams is building a 8 new house.
 The Housatonic Railroad now takes 13, 800 quarts of milk to New York, daily. A private letter from the city editor of one of the New York papers, says ''that during the extreme heat of two weeks ago, an average of one can of milk in eight of all that was delivered in the city was sour," and yet only one can in thirty of the Housatonic milk was sour, and the de- mand for our milk is rapidly increasing.

The Governors Veto.

On Tuesday Gov. English sent in his ye- to of the Electoral and Naturalization bills. To the former he makes the same. objections urged by Democratic legislators and the Democratic Press. Two of these only are serious: that the sections abolishlng the certificate system are unconstitutional, as interfering with the privilege guaranteed by that instrument to the elector that the sections forbidding the selectmen and town clerk from making any electors ex- cept those who have filed previous writ en application with the registrars, IS also an infringement of the constitution.
 Gov. English and the Democracy urge the theory of "once an elector always an elector," to as absurd an extreme as Euro pean sovereigns have been in habit of ur- ging their doctrine, "once subject al- ways subject" The whole Connecticut system of "electors," under which frauds practised before partisan boards are placed beyond the possibility of correction Ia system, we are happy to say, peculiar to Conn ecticut) is one that should be abolish ed. As that can only be effected by con- stltutional amendment, we are glad to see the next best thing done: restricting its op- eration as far as the Legislature can re- strict it.
 We see little force in the second obiec- tion. The Legislature has plain right to prescribe the manner in which application for the electoral privilege shall be made, and this is all they seem to have done If 8 man "once an elector is always an elect or,' it is no more than fair that every op- portunity should be given to prevent frauds, the effects of which are to be permanent.
 Gov English objects strongly to the pro- visions of the law which empower any three citizens to prosecute for the viola tion of any of our electoral laws We consider this one of the best features of the bill. As the matter now stands, re- dress must be had at the hands of the very partisans who commit the wrongs, and prosecutions are practically impossible, even for the most fragrant outrages.
 We think the Naturalization bill abun- dantly justified by recent experience. The most unblushing frauds have been commit ted by partisan Courts; and the Legisla- ture is fully warranted in requiring the judgment of impartial tribunals, and such full record of facts as will render perjury unsafe

Is popu1ar Intelligence Dangerous ?


 Not long since, the Bridgeport Farmer attempted to reply to MT. Beecher's state ment that, s.the non-reading classes are the dangerous classes.'' Itargued as fol lews:-
 To be dangerous there must be certain amour. of educated intelligence. Ignorance IS Dao, put yiciousness is worse. No great crime was ever committed by purely ignorant man or WoMal' l. the dangerous classes are those wno naVlng tne ability to plan have also the heart to do and dare . Al DaIton. Robespierre or Thad Stevens, will work more injury to the people in year, than an army of idlots can work nla century No; it is not the educated knaves who work their way to places of official trust and power, and who wield vast individual influence among the masses
 The assertion that, "no great crime was ever committed by purely ignorant man or woman," is mistake. Most of the prisoners in our penitentiaries belong to the ''non reading classes"
 Politically, these classes are most danger ous, because they readily become the dupes of designing knavery. Where the "masses'' are intelligent, there is little to fear from demagoguism. It is ''the army of idiots that makes the Danton or the Robespierre possible Educated knaves" being few, are not dangerous, unless the ignorant, through whom alone they can work, are many.
 We cannot but feel compassion when we see the Farmer chasing Thaddeus Stevens with Robespierre and Danton. It has evil dently been arguing it's own case.

Granting the Democracy repetition of their great luck in the States that voted in 1867, let us examine the figures of the Worlds second table in connection with what it claims to be a complete list of ''De. batable Districts:
 The reason why California is placed in the second table rather than in its true place in the first, becomes evident. The Second district in that State gave 1,267 Republi. can majority last fall; yet the World figures an unanimous Democratic Congressiona delfHPfftian ftiian from that State in 1868!
 tricts" are claimed; tMas ali to the Democ zvvnfy increases their representation to five, instead of the seven given in the table.
 In Missouri we find repetition of this style of figuring: Only five ''debatable" dis tricts are claimed; one of which is already Democratic. Giving the Democracy all, it would make the representation of the State Democratic to Republican, ln- stead of the to 2 of the tablet
 The Michigan estimate is simply ridicu- lous. Regarding this State the Wor1d speaks as follows:
 Like Kansas, this State voted upon the question of negro suffrage in the early part of this year, and gave nearly 40, 900 majority against it. The Radi- cal majority in 1866 was A 954. healthy growth of this kind ought to produce crop of Democrat 10 Congressmen in November. The Detroit Dis tr1ct IS so nearly Democratic that we look for gain in that quarter.
 Giving the Democracy the Detroit Dis trict land they have no chance of carrying any other) and the representation will stand D Republicans to Democratic, instead of the to of the table.
 correcting, therefore, the obvious mis- takes in the foregoing table by the Worlds own fuller estimates, we have the following as the best result the Democracy can figure TOT themselves in the coming House:
