CONNRCTECUr ELECTION.

The Democrats Of Connecticut elected
their Governor and State ticket on The
first Monday OF April last by majority
Of about ! 800 In November, hnwever,
under the influence of the adverse State
elections, Gen. Grant carried the State
by 1900 majority, on poll of 100, 000
votes. We did not then believe, and do
not think now, that that was a correct
expression Of the political sentiment OF
the State We believe it to be Demo-
cratic. .. . #-s.....-. ...s-.
Governor English, the present Demo-
cratic Governor, is a candidate for re
lection. So
In the first congre sional district,
consisting of the counties Of Hartford and
Toland, the Democrats have nominated
James Dixon for Congress. He is
present United States Senator from that
State, elected by the Republicans, but
has pursued an independent and Demo-
cratic course in that body. We ardently
hope that, soon after his term expires in
the Senate, he win be permitted to take
his seat in the House.
In the Second District the Democracy
have nominated John G. Babcock, form
erly editor of the New Haven Palladium
and recently Collector of New Haven.
He was formerly Republican. His dis.
trict consists of the counties of New Ha,
ven and Middlesex tits strongly Demo
cratic
In the Fourth District, consisting Of
Fairfield and Litchfeld counties, where
Barnum, at present owner of the New
York Museum, was beaten last year by
nearly 1000 majority, the Democrats
have yet to nominate. There is but Its
tie doubt the Democrats will again carry
the district
With a good canvass the Democrats
can elect their Governor and three of the
four Congressman in the old Nutmeg
State

NEW ENGLAND SCHOOLS.

As we all know New England is some
what boastful Of her reform schools, and
has been known to express great con-
tempt for all similar institutions outside
of that favored region. As specimCn
of the discipline in vogue in one of these
schools, we publish the following from
the Providence (R. u Herald,
"The Journal publishes the testimo-
nv taken at the Reform School, on
Thursday, 9th inst, wherein it is shown
that one teacher, named LOOMS, used to
kick the boys 10 the stomach right across
the school room'-that Rockwell had
the hilarious and highly relormatOry
habit of kicking, knocking down and
stamping on the boys-that Talcott
mildly and persuasively pulled the boys
about by the hair of the head'-that
Bigelow struck the boy Peddy on the
head enough to knock his brains OUT
that Bliss struck boy who had broken
arm-that Peddy in the most insolent
and insubordinate way died of his inju~
ries-that another boy whom Bliss ge~
nially demonstrated with by hitting him
on the head with a hammer, rashly left
this moral and salutary Institution fol
the crude inhospitalities of Newport, and

Total consumption for 1868
Gin artestimated as above

States 900 900 u.s.
We cannot but think, says the
United States Economist, that the
estimate of Southern consumption
here given, falls below the truth.
The Southern authorities place the
consumption in spinning in that
section, at fully 100000 bales, and
we are disposed to regard the esti-
mate as we'll founded. This report
gives the number of mills in the
South at eighty-six whereas it is
we'll known to leading Southern
manufacturers that more than that
number has been built since the war,
principally, of course, of the small
Ter class Senator Sprague, of
Rhode Island, uttered a very i'm
portant truth, when he stated, at
Columbia, South Carolina, that the
time has come when the South must
manufacture the heavier class of
goods. He did not, however, offer
the whole truth for the time has
come when the South is turning its
attention to the manufacture Of the
finer class of yarns made in France.
1t is found that the South has the
| atmospheric conditions necessary to
the production of the finest yarns;
and machinery and hands are now
being imported for the spinning of
class of yarn which cannot be
produced successfully in England.
The condition Of the domestic
cotton trade presents some anoma-
lous features. 1t appears that the
consumption of manufactured
| goods is so close up to the supply,
that there is absolutely no stock in
the hands of jObbers and retail
dealers Although the mills have
been running to their full capacity
the products have entered immedi
ately into consumption. From
this fact, it might be inferred thai
the cotton manufacturers are in {
prosperous condition. But this il
by no means the case. The ad
vance in the raw material has no
been attended with a correspond
ing increase in the value of thu
manufactured goods, and there is
consequent loss to producers on tn
lower descriptions of goods. Their
is also another important feature
J Manufacturers and dealers mani
fest an extreme unwillingness t
J keep stocks of goods on han'
) This extreme caution is indicativ
! of the unsettled nature of every
thing connected with the cotto
trade.

:. features are manifested. tits foun

PREPARED SEASONING.

A writer on cookery gives the follow"
ing recipe for preparing delicious seas
oning Place in a paper bag onesquarter
of an ounce Of thyme, one-quarter ounce
of bay leaf, one-eighth ounce OF maJoram,
and one-eighth one of rosemary; put the
bag into moderately heated oven till the
herbs are dry; then mix them in a mers
tar with halt an ounce of nutmegs, half
an ounce of cloves, quarter of an ounce
of pepper, OneNeight of an ounce of cay
enne pepper, pound the whole and press
through hair sieve. Keep this mixture
ina dry, wellacorked bottle. These spi-
ces are to be used either alone or with
sa 1t added; the proportion for mixing with
salt is one ounce Of the mixture to four
ounces of fine salt. One ounce of the
spiced salt is sufficient to season three
pounds Of forcemeat.
