Fraud.

Evidence comes in from every quarter showing that the rascality of fraudulent naturalization has been carried to an ex- tent this year that exceeds anything before attempted. New York roughs and aliens but short time in the country cast the appar- ent Democratic majority in Philadelphia. In Ohio, Democratic Judges and Clerks have been arrested and the issuing of fraudu- lent naturalization papers proved against them. In New York city men have been caught selling naturalization papers to Democratic aliens by the thousand and the crime proved on them.
 But Connecticut, it seems, IS not behind hand. The communi- cation from Salisbury which we pub fish in another column, coming from gen. tleman we'll known throughout the county and whose word no one would think of questioning, shows how things are managed in the town the man who mis- represents this Congressional District car ries in his brooches pocket. We hear he as- pires to be the next Democratic Governor of Connecticut As Democracy goes now a-days he certainly deserves promotion. In the meantime, let the people of Litch- field county express their views through the ballot box on Tuesday next!

WOODBuRY.

On Saturday evening our Boys in Blue Were out in torch-light procession. Re- publican dwellings on the line of march were illuminated and we noticed, also, tra1sparencies of sred, white and blue, at many of the windowss After march and drill of some two hours, the Boys repaired, on invitation, to the house of Hon. N. B. Smith and partook of bountiful collation. We are wide awake, here, and intend to give 8 good account of ourselves on the 3d of November.
 It is amusing 10 see how quiet our Dem ocratic friends are since the October elec tions, so meek and lamb -like-one would almost think that sympathy with rebellion had never entered their peaceful bosoms.
 A pair of valuable matched horses, own ed by Messrs. F. Davidson & Co.,, being left without hitching, started off and after running some sixty rods struck the corner post of a fence with such force as to knock it over. The wagon was thrown partly up on one of the horses which died of it's iniu ries on the second day.

bP The following extract from a pri- vate letter from an ex-soldier in Georgia, to an officer in this place, indicates that the effect of the Northern elections is begin ming to be felt there :-
 * Have you any democrats with you now? We had good many here, some time ago, but of late l have not heard them say much. l think they are beginning to interpret the handwriting on the wall. They had big political barbecue here, not long since, and the acknowledge they lost more than they gained. The Democratic Club have had their regular meetings here every week, until recently the thing has izzled out. They drummed all over town two nights. and could not start enough to hold meeting. II they are as badly frightened everywhere as they are here, know they will do nothing in Noyem- Der. The Rebs were completely whipped at the close of the war, and would have remained so, ii the Northern peple had managed rightly; but they have been encouraged from one step to an other until Frank Bairs letter gave it the climax They think they are going to gain by the ballot what they lost by the sword, and they will if they are not whipped once more. I hope it will De done.

LITCHFIELD.

In Litchfeld, as in every other town we hear from Republicans expect to gain more than their proportion towards carrying the State for Grant and Colfax.
 The Boys in Blue paraded on Tuesday night. Several houses were illuminated. Mr. Ballwin's was particularly brilliant and drew out three rousing cheers from the Company.
 A democrat was lately consoling him. self with the plucky way his party "hung togelher" A Republican inquired if it wasn't because each individual knew so we'll he ought to hang separately.
 One morning last week, prominent member of the Jackson Guard picked up a nursing g-bottle near their headquarters He is said to have soliloquized as follows:--

 - The Democrat banner has had to be re-lettered. Blair couldn't stand water at a!l-washed out in the first rain-even Sey. mour didn't stick.
 - The place of meeting of the J. D. A. suggests queer coincidence. Every one will remember how Iago ruined honest Michael Cassie. Now at our Litchfield l(a)gos not only do "men put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains but they take in political doctrines witl like result!

MARBLEDALE.

The Democrats since the late election re turns, and the conduct of the "Worll, ' consider thA election nf Grant and Cnlfax as toregone conclusion, and declare that i've have got to have another d-d nigger President" Like the Irishman, they think that there is but one state but what the Republicans will ''stale' from them. and that is the state of ''despair."
 -Of the weekly papers circulating here 52 are Democratic, 15 Republican, and 10 Religious, besides Agricultural and Story papers.
 Mir. H. c. Clark has opened harness shop, and is ready to attend to anything in that line of business.

TWISTED.

The Republicans are hard at work, and 1 every man is registered who is qualified to ! vote Nov. 3d. The Democrats are giving up in despair. By their looks and actions, it is evident which way they expect the Presidential breeze to blow. They take it for Granted that their cause is the '' Lost Cause" The work goes on.
 R. D. Hicks, proprietor of the Clarke House, is laying concrete walk in front of his place.
 - Mir. Burr has completed his four ten- ement house on Willow Street.
 John G. Wetmore has sold his place on Main Street, for $3,5OO and R. Olm- sted has disposed of his house and lot just east of MT. Wetmore's, for s, 500.
 Mir. Uriel Spencer has finished his beautiful house on Walnut Street. It is for rent.
 Henry Dayton has bought of A. B. Pierce, the good will and fixtures of tho Railroad, and expects to keep first class Lunch Room.'
 Bag Has he conciliated Republicans? Is there any waverer in that party who could more easily vote for General Blair than for lifelong Democrat?- World.

And what is the "authen- tic word'' their puppet proclaims?-That Congress will be surely Republican and need the 'check" of Democratic executive that his hands will be tied and he can do no harm!

The World.

The leading Democratic journal is un- sparingly denounced by the "Old Guard" We clip the following from our State pa papers,
 Various speculations are induged as to the cause by which tho World was prompted in this movement. Some attribute it to natural timidity and to panic into which the principal editor was thrown by the first reports concerning the results of the recent elections. If this is tfre he is ard and altogether unfit for place so important. Others attribute it to baseness of heart, and affirm thAt he has been bribed has sold himself out to thA bond-holding aristecracy. Others attribute it to personal hostility to one or the other perhaps to both of the candidatess Whichever is the true cause, it is clear that he is unreliable man, and that his paper canno longer be depended upon as an organ of the Democratic party.-Fd'ner.
 It was long ago believed and charged by many Democrats, that the~WorId, while protesting to be Democratic paper, was secretly in the inter- est of the Radicals. As an outright Rad cal paper the World could have done little harm. Accepted by Democrats as Democratic journal,
 it had the chance to strike blow at the party, and it has done it. Democrats are now everywhere s'stopping" it and it's course, one way the oth- CT, is of no consequence now.-Hatford Times.
 That staunch old journal, the Albany Argus, thus sets forth the present position of the Democratic party and their little

 Several individuals are now in NewYork engag- ed in purchasing and shipping arms to the south. ern states. One ofthem is from Texas. another from Georgia two arc from South Carolina. and two or threo others are from Alabama, Louisiana and Tennessee. The articles they are purchasing are mainly revolvers and repeating or breech-load- ing rifles; all the models of muzzle-loading wea- pons are discarded, and the purchasers are under stood to prefer short barrels to long ones. Two thousand revolvers were sent South in one con- signment three weeks ago, and shipments of two three and five hundred revolvers are unpleazantly frequent.
