The Democratic Convention

The Democratic Convention which met at New Haven, on Wednesday last, renom- mated their old State Ticket and passed a set of resolutions. Its proceedings are thus excellently reported in the ". 7. 75'i- bnne:-
 The Connecticut Democratic Convention yester- day renominated Gov. English and all the present State officers. They carefully avoided ex- pressing preference for any Presidential candi- date, although one enthusiastic speaker [Babcock1 on his own hook, veatured to say that he would vote for English, Seymour, Pendleton, Hancock, or rStanoery, and the man he voted for would be Iiumphantly elected. The same gushing prophet says mat English will be reelected Governor by rs,.i oTo imalority-so that matter is settled. The no.auons may be briefly summarized thus: l. Denorneees congress; 2-Denounces Congress; g. SsvS tio.e congress; 4-Denounces Cohgress: B. to law. o m iavor of paying our debt according Donnsj f-Citizens abroad must le ,orntasStoS Spposes HOW and forever all shades of coIorad snf. rage: S-1here should be no laws to a,1i ~.

 Gov. English read @ written speech oe considerable length. The marked features of the resolutions and of the Governors speech are their bitter denunciation of >>ngress and their reiteration of the Gal.
 theory of State Sovereignty.

All the world is going sleighing and our Wolcottville people are not behind. We turn out here these fine afternoons and moonlight evenings some fine teams, and the s'Sledges with their silver bells' fill the air with music Sleighing without bells would be like circus without band. We notice particularly, l.. W. Goes fine team of bays, and also MT. Ransom Holly's fast span, while MT. A. Brooker, F. Par sons, A. F. Midgeon, F. L. Hungerford, and D.

"The Blue Coats and how Mey Lired, Fought and Died forhe Union; avih Scenes and Incidents in tbe G,'eat Rebellion" is the title of handsome volume. just issued by Jones Brothers < Co.,, Philadelphia, Pa.
 There is certain portion of the War, that will never go into the regular histo-
 ries, nor be embodied in romance or poe try, which is very real part of it and will, if preserved, convey to succeeding genera tions better idea of the spirit of the con fict than many dry reports or careful mar ratives of events, and this part may be called the gossip, the fun, the pathos of the War. This illustrates the character Cf the leaders, the humor of the soldiers, the devotion of women. the bravery of men, the pluck of our heroes, the romance and hardships of the service. From the be- ginning of the war, the author has been engaged in collecting all the anecdotes connected with or illustrative of it. and has grouped and classified them under ap- propriate heads, and in a very attractive form. .e.
 The volume is profusely illustrated with over 100 fine engravings, by the first artist and its contents include "reminiscences of camp, picket, spy, scout, bivouac, siege, and battlefield, with thrilling feats of bra very, wit, drollery, comical and ludierous adventures, etc., etc.
 Amusement as we'll as instruction may be found in every page as graphic detail, brilliant wit, and authentic history; are skillfully interwoven in this work of litera- ry art.
 It is just such a volume as will find nu- merous purchasers. and just sucha one as persons seeking to act as book agents should add to their list.

CORNWALL.

The annual meeting of the North Corn wall Church and Benevolent Association was held Sunday evening, Feb. 2d-at which reports of contributions for the past year were made, which were little under 1850. Also, reports from the Sunday Schools connected with the Church at North and West Cornwall, and statistics of deaths and baptisms, additions and dis missions to and from the. Church.. and o1 the state of religion. There is much of nope ln the increased religious in terest in the community. Meetings are we'll at- tended-a few conversions. and more ;n- qulrlng. There is au effort being made to perfect the roll of membership. by cores bonding with absentees, and visiting resi-. dents who are not living in the proper ob. servance of the ordinances of religion The correspondence, as far as it has gone, developes pleasing feature in the ties of early association, and wherever they wan der, they look back to the old Church on the hills as place of sacred memories, and often it is with much reluctance that they sever the connection.

CRATIC INNOvATION.'
 as- The fact can not be denied that our town af- fairs are being admirably managed. If they had been we'll managed the last seven years, tax payers would not have beon so eager for g. change. And prayer is that the leaders of the Republi- can party might learn wisdom from their enemies.
 The foregoing appeared under the head of "CornwalP' in the ENQUIRER, of Jan. 23. We expect to allow our correspondents great latitude, and certainly do not intend suppressing facts which bear against our party We therefore published the article exactly as it was received. We have since become convinced, however, that it is in correct and unjust to the former Republi- can town officers of Cornwall. The state ment that the affairs of Cornwall s'are be- ing admirably managed" by the present Democratic board is premature, to say the least, since no business of importance has yet been transact ed by them. We do not suppose that our correspondent Intentionally misrepresent- ed the facts, but that his dislike of an in- dividual has greatly biased his judgement.
 We wish to add single word further on this disagreeable subject. One gentleman, who considered himself peculiarly aggriev- ed by the remarks Of our correspondent, in stead of refuting them through our columns, has trumpeted his grievance about the bar rooms and street corners of Litchfeld till we feel safe in assuring our Cornwall read CTS that he has already got all the sympa- thy he deserves.
 Beg We understand that Revenue In :. spector H. T. Hoyt and Deputy Collector E. M Rowland, seized the distillery of Benjamin Tompkins, of Kent, on Friday last, together with about 125 gallons of mash ready to be made into rum, ,Iand that they found buried under the floor Of one of the out-buildings quantity of rum ready for market The officers put keep CT over the distillery temporarily and re- moved the rum to safer quarters The N. H. Register will hardly have the face to reckon D. l., u hepuUilCdu.
 Gss~ On Monday Senator Ferry of this State made an excellent speech in the Sen ate on the new Reconstruction bill. The Tribune says of it:
 It created very favorable impression of the new Senator's ability as an orator, and was attentively listened to on both sides of the chamber. As to matter and manner it was 8 very decided success.

 ksg~ John H. Surratt is to be put on trial again on the 24th of February. Mr. Black of Pennsylvania, has been retained as sen- for counsel in place of Mr. Bradley, who was thrown over the bar" for contempt of court last summer, by Judge Fisher. No new testimony, it is said, will be offered by the government, and the trial, if it ever comes of, will be like the first, little more than farce. Catching Surratt was about as unfortunate movement as the catching of Davis-Sentinel

 What clever hit, too, our Conservative of 1903 gets into the ribs of Virginia be- cause she talks radicalism and acts conser- vatism! The closing sentences, also, we consider as good Conservative logic and rhetoric as are often seen: "Our venerable Ancestors, understood the true principles Sc. &c From their principles our peace, our equality, our prosperity, &c.'

l.)fteHuo v wo peoPte uudo OfeiJ Hull udS tue right to vote, and that the laws which re- just-that the government of this state is anti-republican, because universal suffrage is not admitted. It might perhaps stop this clamor, if 1t were known, that in many and in probably most of the other States, qualifications for electors exist; and that particularly in Virginia, none but .1reehold- CTS are suffered to rote. But itis not necessary to resort to this source for justification of Connecticut. It has been shown that the principle is coecM aUuh tue colony. Let 1t be asked from whenceis derived Me s'iost to r0te in Connecticut without the requisite qualification! Not in the original compact entered into by those who settled the state
 That establishes the opposite principle
 Not in any law or ordinance which the government of the colony or State has since enacted. They have uniformly fol- lowed the original Constitution.
 ''Resort must then be had to the modern doctrine of the 'sRights of Man" In this code it may probably be found; for it is Pandora's box from which have issued more evils than ever the world experienced within the same compass of time. Our venerable Ancestors understood the true principles of civil policy, and began their Colony, with establishing the wisest, the most free, the most just. the most truly Republican system that has ever yet ap- peared in the world. From their institu- tion, our peace, our equality, our prosperi- ty and our responsibility have proceeded. These blessings are too highly valued by tue people of Connecticut, to be trified with, or to be sacrificed on the altar of Democratic innovation.
 l Such is the argument of the Conserva- tive against the Radical, in 1803-in much better temper, but, nevertheless, precisely the same urged by the Conservative against the Radical in 1868! The Democrat of 1903,

 MT. H. M. Hart" On the Harlem Railroad, where individuals send, they have to go to New York very often to look after their customers, and sometimes meet with losses."
 Mir. Cummings (Agent,) said that if at any time the business should become too large for them to manage, they should be happy to receive assist ance.
 Mir. Goodrich-The New York and New Haven Railroad is better pleased to have milk sent to agent, and you had better follow this course.
 Mir. Cummings.-Has provided three hundred tons of ice at Burlington, and would put up more at other places for use in the refrigerating cars
 Mir. Goodrich spoke of the greater profit of send ing milk than making it into butter and cheese. He had reports from men who had made from s12O to s13O per COW.
 T. s. Gold reported Mr. Platt of Reading, who list year sold from dairy of cows (s1s5 one hun. dred and thirty-iye dollars per COW.
 The Chairman, (N. Hart,) described method of preparing the milk or curing it. good spring is a necessity. Milk must be cooled to $40, or low CT to 47 Q, as soon as possible after milking, by water flowing around the cans. Covers must be kept off till cool and it must be slowly stirred few times All utensils must be clean and sweet. Milk must not be mixed from different mllklngs till it is cool Exhibited Fitch's double can-also a cooler and strainer, made by Cochrane < Sher- wood of West Cornwall.
 Mr. Hart exhibited Lactometer, which he ana others considered as unreliable, and which was pronounced useless by exclamation, when pure nalk alone is to be sent.
