Democratic Miscreancy at Work In
Connecticut.

One of the most Infamous outrages
ever committed on the records of any
State was perpetrated in Connecticut by
political partisans, sometime between
Saturday and Tuesday morning last.
The office of the Secretary Of State was
broken open, and the new election law,
passed after a very bitter and partisan
discussion ON Saturday last, was so multi
lated as to change the entire sense of the
act The New Haven't Journal and Cour-
ier of yesterday, give, the particulars of
the high handed outrage. 1t says:
"On the re-assembling of the Legisla-
ture the Engrossing Committee took up
the bill, and were astonished to find that
it had been deliberately systematically
altered in several important particulars,
so as to materially change its sense and
make it conform to the amendments that
the Democrats had attempted in vain to
engraft upon it. Some body (who it has
not yet been finally ascertainedl, gained
access to the Secretary office, and evi-
IDENTIFY knowing where the bill was depos-
tied, took it and proceeded to make the
alterations Acids were used to erase GER
tain words, and in their place others were
written so that the sense of entire sections
HCIC OildiISCu ANO lCSS lldli cI8HU VI
such alterations were detected, and there
may be others. For instance, the pro-
visions that the Boord for the admission
Of electors should only sit in the day time
were all changed so that the Board could
sit in the evening This was point
that was vainly fought for by the Demo
Gratis in both Houses and was rejected by
a party vote. Another serious of changes
was the alteration of positive obligations
on the .seIectment to simple permission.
The whole purpose was to render the
law ineffective, and it was evidently done
by democrats, and by men Of more than
usual ingenuity. No ignorant scoundrel
achieved the fraud Somebody who had
access to the Office of the Secretary
somebody acquainted with the location of
the papers there: somebody who knew
what the law was, and the precise alter
ations needed in section after section, to
make the fraud consistent with itself
somebody who was confident that he
would not be disturbed during the hours
that must huye been expended on the
work. Some such an one was in the
plot and directed its execution. That
somebody stood behind with money and
advice is not to be doubted. That they
were democrats, is beyond contradiction
Fortunately the Fraud was discovered
before it was too late, and both branches
of the legislature have taken prompt
action to institute investigation.

There is one point about Mr.. Blair

There is one point about Mr.. Blair S
letter which strikes us as very singular.
He is the first candidate for the Vice
Presidency that ever in his letter of ac-
ceptance went out of his way to personally
abuse his opponent. We can imagine
nothing so indecent as this. Politicians
on the stump, in the excitement of de-
bate, may say indiscreet and intemperate
things; but that General who aspires
to be the Vice President of the United
States should deliberately sit down and
attack Gen. Grant, especially when he
should remember that not long since he
was proud to serve under him and tc
receive favors from him, is astonishing
Mr.. Blair has always been an audacious
man; but we do not think even his owr
career can parallel his last attempt.

Rights of American Citizens Abroad

WASHINGTON, July %. The following
is the bill concerning the rights ofAmcri-
can citizens in foreign states, as amended
and passed by the Senate.
WHEREAs.The right Of expatriation is
a natural and inherent right of all people,
and indispensable to the enjoyment OF
the rights of liberty, life and the pursuit
Of happiness and
WHEREAS, In the recognition of this
principle this government has freely
received emigrants from all nations, and
vested them with rights of citizenship
and
WHEREAS, 1t is claimed that such
American citizens, with their defendants,
are subjects OF foreign states and owing
allegiance to the government thereof ;
and
WHEREAS, 1t is necessary to the main
tenance of public peace that the claim OF
foreign allegiance shall be promptly and
finally disavowed; therefore.
Be It enacted ETC., That any declara-
ton, instruction opinion, order or decis-
ion of any officers of this Government
which denies, restricts, impairs or ques-
tons the right of expatriation. is hereby
declared to be inconsistent with the fun
damental principles OF the Government.
Sec. .. An6 be 1t further enacted. That
all naturalized citizens of the United
States while in foreign states shall be
entitled to, and shall receive from this
Government, the protection of person
and property that is accorded to native
born citizens in like situa ton and circum-
stances.
Sec. 8. And be 1t further enacted. That
whenever it shall be known to the Presi
dent that any citizen of the United
States is unjustiy deprived of his liberty
by or under the authority of foreign
government, it'shall be the duty of the
President to demand of that government
the reasons of such imprisonment, and
if it appear to be wrongful and in viola
ton of the rights of American citizen
ship, tie President will demand the release
of such citizen; and if the release sc
demanded Is unreasonably delayed, ol
refused it shall be the duty of the Presi
| dent to use such means not amounting tC
acts of war, as he may think necessar,
and proper to obtain or effect such releas 5,
and all the facts and proceedings relativ'
thereto shall as soon as practicable, b.

OF course no man, Democrat or JAG
obine, proposes that the tax-gathcrer
shall list the farmers cattle, horses, and
sheep, for Federal taxation, any more
than he shall list the quantity of his corn
or the number of his acres for Federal
taxation.-Iinaes.
The Chicago Tribune very forcibly re-
plies to the above as follows: Why, then,
did you say in your platform, Equal
taxation of eve,y species Of property ac-
cording to its real value, including gov
ernment bonds and other securities ?"
Are not cattle, horses, sheep, and corn,
"species Of property Is not farm, a
house, or Il barn,a species ot'property?"
If every species of property is to be
taxed " equally Of course lands, lots,
houses, shops, live stock, and grain, must
be taxed on their real value at the same
rate that government bonds are to be
taxed. Imported foreign goods cannot
be taxed any higher per cent than farms,
cattle and crops; and whisky and brandy
no higher than the nations own credit,
IN the form of bonds. The language of
this plank of the Copperhead platform is
too plain for misconstruction. Its obvious
meaning is free trade and direct taxation;
free importation of foreign goods, and
support of the government mainly by
taxation on the full value Of farms, cattle
and crops. The Copperhead organ may
twist and squirm, and attempt to conceal
the true intent and purport of its platform
until after the election, but we propose
to hold 1t to strict Interpretation of It's
terms.

The English Press on the Democratic
Ticket.

Ticket.
It is sometimes good for us to have an
opportunity of seeing ourselves as others
see us, a, d perhaps the Democracy may
be persuaded of their coming doom by
reading what the English press, especially
those who sympathized with their side
during the war, have to say. They are
all astonished at the conduct of the Dem
ocrats in putting up against Gen. Grant
such an old party hack as Seymour. The
Pail Nall Gazette says:
Does any Democratic politician reaHy
erpece to a0ia that ticket? 1t is probably
indicative rather of sense of hopeless
ness on the part of the leaders than any
expectation of defeating the Republican
candidates. Had the managing Demo-
Gratis seen a prospect of gaining the day
with Mr.. Chase they would doubtless
have accepted him; but since failure is
all but inevitable, 1T is worth while to pay
some regard to their consistency"
The London Times has along article in
which it says:
II the bnet summary OF the plat
form adopted by the Democratic Party
in the United States received through
the Atlantic Telegraph yesterday is
accurate, tie DOOM Of that party ,,tay be
taken Us sealed"
After criticising its financial planks, land
characterizipg their propositions as
breaches of good faith, - it says:
''The Democratic Convention must ap-
pear as dtcttIed da,tyJightiag q lost bnt-
tie. The adoption Of a policy, which,
however disguised, is policy Of partial
reputation, must dissipate any lingering
hopes the Democrats may have had of
success to the Presidential electiol :; =
The Democratic PLATFORM as ann ,unced
by the Atlantic Gable, is forewarning of
Democratic defeat in the autumn, and
must be .toNo,eed By the continued ecclt-
sion from office, IF not Jy tie lasting dis
''uption Of the De1aocrotic Party.

The New York Sun SURVEYS the fiel

The New York San surveys the field
and concludes the Democratic prospect is
very poor. 1t says:
''The result, therefore, of this survey
of the field is, that in the North and in
the South the Seymour and Blair ticket
is no stronger than the Democratic ticket,
while in the West it is rather weaker.
From this standpoint the impartial eye
will not regard the prospects of its sue
cess as bright, but, on the contrary, rath
er gloomy"

CONGRESSIONAL RECESS From the
Proceedings Of Congress we notice that
the two Houses have passed resolution
to take recess from the 9th of July to
the Sd Monday in September. In view
of the present condition of the country
we deem this course a wise one. 4
long adjournm ent Of Congress would be
hazardous to the country at this time /;
and we are glad that the majority have
decided upon short recess, instead of
an adjournment. This body should keep
itself in working order, an It work, till
the 4th of next March. when Gen. Graut
will take the helm, and can be trusted
with entire safety to the best interests OF
the country.

In accordance with the liberal support
and encouragement which Chicago gives
to all worthy enterprises, great efforts are
now being made to secure the entire sue
cess of the great wool exposition which S
to be held here on the 4th 9Th and 9th OF
August. It will be attended by all the
principal wool growers and manufacturers
of the United States and will doubtless
have an excellent effect in regulating the
growth and traffic in this article upon a
much more even and profitable basis than
heretofore.
The Coopers of Chicago have been
holding several meetings lately to protest
against the continued employment of
convict labor in the manufacture of their
class of work. They pronounced it an
unjust depreciation Of the value of free
labor and complain Of its very injurious
effect upon their interests The same
action on the part of the shoemakers and
stone cutters, in New York, created a
great deal of excitement, few years ago
and will no doubt do so here also. The
sympathy of al classes of laborers is with
the coopers IL their protest.
