The radicals are resolved to do with Con-
neeticut as they did with New Hampshire,
0us up the voters whom they think for sale.
IL proves IN the latter state that not SO much
money Was needed, because they had the
election machinery all in their own hands,
and could make and count votes pretty much
to suit themselves, irrespective of popula-
ton. But the majority of the towns in Con
necticut happen to be controlled by demo.
cratic boards of selectmen, who are sure to
prove a fatal obstacle to all such operations.
Hence the radical managers see that there is
no resource left but mOney, and that they
are procuring in as large amounts as it can
be furnished. They have a fund of one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars already,
with which they expect to purchase the in
dependent voters of the state. 1t would
seem that radicalism had enough else to an
swer for to the people of Connecticut, with
out adding TO their list of accusations the
later one OF an outrageous attempt to bride
and buy them. The very attempt is the viz
tuai surrender of the radical cause. When
the fanatics find that no vip,ieation is pos
sible for them, they propose to offer hush.
money. The people of Connecticut win &C.
eept the testimony offered in the bribe, and
vote such a party out of existence at the
polls. They will surely do it on the 9th day

Total Potato Crop of the W WorId for IsG7.

1t viii be seen by the above tables tbat the
United States are far ahead of the other por-
tiOns Of the globe In Iaising this valuable
crop. France comes next and Ireland, as
might be expected, plants good many acres
considering the limits OF her territory. The
potato has become an essential article oe
food in all countries and when the crop fails
there is consequently more or less suffering.
Many fear that the potato Is destined to an
early grave, but we trust it viii not leave the

fully favorable. II has withstood both drouih
