Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph
HARTFORD, Oct 6.-The Oourdnt Republican,
says:-"The results Of the election yesterday in
Connecticut were particularly gratifying and
encouraging. The Republicans claim gains in
many places in this city. The whole Democratic
ticket was elected by an average Democratic
majority of 1888. All but one of the 163 towns of
the State held election for town officers yester-
day. Wherever full vote has been polled, so
far as we have yet heard, the Republicans have
made very respectable gains. Hartford county
has gone Republican, also New Haven county;
New London, Fairfield, Windham, and Middle
sex counties. The number of towns heard from
up to this time is LOG, Of which the Republican.
carry GA and the Democrats 80; divided, g."

By Cuba Gable.
HAVANA, Oct. 6.-From Port-au Prince we
have advices to October 2.
The Haytien man. ofwar Galatea had arrived
at Petit Goave from New York, with large
cargo of arms and ammunition. She had full
complement of men, mostly Haytien negroes,
some English and French officers, and a COM
plete naval outfit. On her arrival she attacked
the rebel cruisers Sylvan and Liberte. The
former was sunk and the latter burnt by the
crews to prevent them from falling into Presi-
dent Salnaves power. The latter had left on
board the Galatea to bambard Miragoane.
Before leaving he took aboard three hundred
additional men.

not engaged, would. with show OF respect. go
with and introduce them at once If engaged
they would tell them when to call again.
General Grant invariably received his visi-
tors with courtesy, making them feel at ease by
the blandness and sincerity of his manner
The spirit which governed him reacted through
out headquarters, and we never heard Of an In.
stance of rudeness during his sojourn in our
midst. He was then at the head of all the
armies of the Republic. He had good cause to
doubt he felt proud. but 1t was the m Oldest pride

The Franc I'm erican Citizens of Michi-

TO the Editor Of the Detroit Post.
The Franco o.A American citizens OF Wayne
county have voted with the Democracy for
fifty years, and have Deen the mainslay OF that
party in this section. They have "gone It
blind" many times, but their eyes have been
opened, and they will do so no more.
Let the Franco American citizens of Wayne
county look over the Democratic ticket in the
columns of the Ffee Press, and see whether they
are represented there. They have been repu.
dated in the selection OF county officers, and
they will repudiate the entire Democratic ticket
and party this fall. Twenty-Five hundred cleo
tors of French birth or descent will vote the Re-
publican ticket In Wayne county, and many OF
them, believe, will be thoroughly converted

Inquiry was here made whether Mr.. Edwar
Worrall and q Mr.. Boileau, the latter of whom
had for a few days been clerk in the office, were
not in court and 1t was found that Mr.. Worrall
was out of town, and the Mr.. Boileau actually
engaged in making out the extra assessment
of the Twentieth ward
Mr. Smith then moved the Court to adjourn
the hearing until these gentlemen could be pro-
duced, which motion was opposed by the other
side upon the ground that every hour during
which this rule pended there was an imputation
against the official character, and the require
ments of the rule granted by the Court had
been met,
Mr. Brewster urged the motion for continu-
ance saying that IL was freely conceded that
no mputation of guilty knowledge on the part
OF Colonel Snowden in regard to these transac.
tione; but there was strong proof OF great negli-
gence in the conduct of the officer that would
draw upon Colonel Snowden the reflection of
this Court And 1t was due to that gentleman,
and Messrs. Worrall and Boileau, that they
should be heard.
After further remarks from Mr. Biddle In
opposition to the motion, Judge Sharswood
consented to grant the motion, and the matter
was continued until to morrow morning.

 e1- In last weeks "Citizen" there ap- peared a cali upon me to become candi- date for Representative of Prairie county, -ii in answer to which I desire to thank. my friends for their manifested preference, and beg to decline the honor for the reasons herein set forth. I greatly fear. that a mistaken policy will lead the citizens of Arkansas into the establishment ofa kiud of State Government detrimental to their best interests, and from which it will be difficult to extricate themselves mean by this that too much attention will be given to the election of State and Local Officers, and too little to the one great matter which is of vital importance to every true citizen of the State, i. e., eop- position to the proposed Constitution. The time has come when tue interests of our State, and our individual rights are at stake, and if we would properly defend
 l. ' them, every energy should be concentrat- ed, and the will of the people bent to the defeat of Radicalism; not in local cleo tions which require the Constitutional oath but by the rejection of the Consttu- tion they are attempting to thrust upon Us which does not is not that con slider our local elections of small import ance that would thus advise, but that consider them annulled if the Constita- ton is defeated. Believing thus, and with higher than political obligations resting upon me, am in opposition to this Radi cal Constitution. a' sA'' 'Nss -9.st Respectfully VI .ls s SIX ns .aa aass N. B. CAR.
