U. 8. Senator.

The election of our next U. s. Senator,
 by act of Congress, takes place on the 18th of May. Coming thus early in the session of the Legislature, it has already given rise to much preliminary voting of journals throughout the State. The candidates who
 have received the most general support
 are Ex. Governors Buckingham and Hawley. Between two men so well known, and so much respected wherever known, we scarcely ly regret that it is not our duty to decide. When two ex- eellent candidates are, each, strenuously supported before nominating caucus, there is always an excellent chance for a third to come in between them, as Gen.
 Ferry came in between Buckingham and Foster in 1866. This chance the Press seem inclined to award to MT. Orville H. Platt of Meriden, native of Washington, in this County, who has, within few years, served in both branches of the Legislature and is at present Chairman of the State Central Committee Besides these gentle men, we see mentioned the names of Messrs. Cyrus Northrup, Henry B. Harri- son, B. K. Foster, and Chauncey F. Cieye- land. The contest bids fair to be close

Fenian Assassins .

The assassinations which have of late disgraced the Fenian organization, are DO. litical blunders as we'll as atrocious crimes. The assassination of Darcy McGee, brought home as it has been to prominent Cana. dian Fenian, will go far towards tue utter destruction of the order in that country. The Habeas Corpus is suspended, numbers of Fenians arc being arrested and impris. oned, and detectives worm their way into every important circle.
 The attempt upon the life of Prince Al fred, in Australia, is another act of incon, ceivable folly. The Prince, if what the Australian papers have been saying is true. was not behaving extremely we'll, there, lin fact, every other generation of the pres ent royal family of England seem to be predestinate scapegraces). Now, however, semi-assassination will make hero of him and, we fear, iniure the cause of Ireland just when English Liberalism is taking il up.
 
 was exhibited in the expulsion of Richard McCloud by Fenian circle in Norwich. for speaking in favor of the Republican nominees before our late election. Now, 6 Fenian is not necessarily a Democrat, SC that this act cannot be justified on any DO litical grounds. Neither is Fenian pro hibited from discussing and voting upon tho. different questions presented to the American citizen, for that would be to make the organization essentially treason able The simple truth is, that the Nor wich Fenians, mostly Democrats, lost theil tempers, and expelled Mir. McCloud with out even show of reason.
 Fenianism will have to become far wiser than it has shown itself of late, before it rules America and conquers England.

THE EXPRESS QUESTION. .the mana gers of the Housatonic Railroad and Ad- ans Express cannot agree as to terms, the former have decided to establish the 'Hou- satonic and New York Express, which is to commence next Monday. It is to be run on the evening trains, and probably on the morning trains, also, in short time
 An arrangement has been made with the Bridgeport Steamboat Co.,, by which it will be through express to New York as early IS the next morning, and leaving New York at noon, and arriving here at half past nine in the evening, thus making it really the most expeditions express between the city and different points on this road. It is to operated by the Railroad company. and IS therefore home institution, and though it is somewhat of an experiment., Ii properly managed and fairly patronized, 1t will undoubtedly become permanent and constantly increasing, benefit to the com pany and the public. Packages are to De collected and delivered in New York with in reasonable limits free of extra charge, and the enterprise gives token of success in the general arrangements for it's execu- ton. All contracts will be guaranteed by the Railroad and Steamboat companies, and we think the project will prove great accommodation to the public-quite as much so as the Adams monopoly ever did. --Berkshire Courier. -s~t..

Southern Elections.

1 While the country has been taken up with New Hampshire and Connecticut cleo tions, with impeachment, and with prepa- rations for the approaching presidential campaign, results have been reached at the South of vastly greater importance. The Reconstruction question has at last been settled. Elections have been held in Ala bama, Arkansas. South Carolina, Louisia- ma, Georgia, and North Carolina In all theso States, with tue single exception of Alabama, Constitutions founded on uni versal suffrage have been adopted, Repub- lican legislatures elected (except perhaps in Georgia), and a large majority of Re- publican Congressman chosen. As soon as these legislatures can meet, the 1eouire- ments of the Reconstruction Acts will be complied with, and five States restored to their old places.
 These results have been accomplished under every Encouragement. In every State, the local civil authority, and in some the military also, has been hostile to the proposed Constitutions. The Republican party, newly organized, has met storm of Rebel opposition that seemed irresist- lble. Union whites have been threatened With exclusion from white society, with business ruin, with personal violence: blacks, with loss of employment and conse quent starvation. Nor have these infuen- cas been without effect, as the returns plainly indicate. Nevertheless, in spite of the bitterest political opposition our gen. eration has seen, the Republican party has swept every State with majorities varying from five to forty thousand!
 Nor has the conflict been q conflict oi races; the negro Republican vote has hoota n,"oi. lighter than was expected, the white Republican vote much heavier In Arkansas there was white majority on the registered vote, of about 10000; in North Carolina, of about 32,OOO. Yet we carry the latter State by large majority the Re- publican party polling, in fact, nearly if not quite majority, of the white vote in hotly contested election. On the one hand, many negroes have evidently been compelled by Democratic employers to vote the Democratic ticket This seems to have been the case in Georgia, particularly. On the other hand, the white fmmer South, seems to take to Republicanism, as natu rally as the same class, North.
 These Southern elections have success fully accomplished three great objects: they have started into political life genuine southern democracy, not negro only, to meet the long dominant aristocracy; they have so divided the South into parties as to arouse healthful political action where for years before all has been stagnation: they have settled the question of universal suffrage, ,forever-It may indeed prove that the political ascendency of Southern Re- publicanism will be but temporary; but it is evident that Conservatism cannot suc- ceed without help from the negro, and it can never get that helptill it ceases to be 6 "White Mans Party"

p3- The Bridgeport Famer comments on an extract from speech of Henry Clay. delivered a generation ago:
 'T am Mr. President, no friend of slavery but prefer the liberty of my country to that of any other people, and the liberty of my own race to that of any other race. The liberty of the descend ants of Africa in the United States if it were DOS. sible could only be established by violating the m contestable powers of the States and subverting the Union. Aud beneah the ruins of the J'niof sooaild b. buried sooner Or tater, THE LIBERTY ol BOTH RACES"
 It would be well if the people would give heed te the warnings and predictions of our dead states men. They were extraordinary men and true pat rlots and when living discharged their duties with rare fidelity and sagacity. They earned the con- hdence of the people in their time; and their coun- sel now that they are dead, should not be forgot eens nor their predictions unheeded.
 In 1899 no one believed that slavery would be insane enough to levy war against Inc government! But such a war having been begun and slavery having been beat en and destroyed, does any one suppose MT. Clay would have favored its restora- ton, or the establishment of any similar relation between the black and wb;te races?
