ton of extending the elective franchise to the
colored element of its population, and rejected
the proposal by negative vote of 80, 4S9 against
q, ,217i in the affirmative Connecticut was there
upon excessively landed by the Caucasian jour
nails, and pronounced to be committed forever
against negro suffrage. At the recent election,
however the ratification of the proposed ff-
teenth amendment to the Federal Constitution
was made distinct ISSUE and the result
was the reelection by the people of
Legislature which has just given its assent to the
suffrage amendment by decided majority, the
vote in the Senate, taken some days ago, stand
ing Is to 8, and in the House of Representatives,
which acted upon the question yesterday, 126 to
104. The world moves, and the Connecticut
Democracy is not such heavy weight that it

THE INTERNATIONAL TROUBLE.
What is Said of the Alabama Claims by nj
English .1Ournulisf - -


Mr.. Justin Mccarthy is a London newspaper
man of the first class, who is spending few
months here in the study of American institu-
tiOns, and who is returning the favor by giving
through our own periodicals, the best sketches
of contemporary English politics which we have
had for long time. He is a man of observa-
ton, character, and good sense, and knows his
own country and countrymen as well as any
Englishman we ever had with us. We therefore
deem worthy of note the sensible letter addressed
by him to the Tribune in relation to the pre-
sent gossip about war with England. Mr..
Mccarthy says that 'the reason why the Eng
lish are passonately excited about Mr. Sum-
ner's speech is that he is looked on as the most
pacific, the calmest, the most enlightened of the
American Senators, and the warmest friend of
England When, therefore, Mr.. Sumner talked
so plainly the English at once took it for granted
that Chandler is the real representative of Ame-
rican sentiment. Notwithstanding all which
says Mr.. Mccarthy
"If America does not want a war, England does
not. The leading members of the present English
Government and the whole OF the English
working population, will never consent TO declare
war against America until America has actually de-
clared war against England But the Alabama claims
will be settled nevertheless. The English public
mind has for some time been waking up to the fact
that England did you heavy wrong. The fact will
weigh more and more upon the public conscience,
and people begin to think more and more about it,
and despite the Times and the Pal Mall Gazette it
will lead in the end to general admission of error,
and to a just reparation."
This is q sensible, and doubtless a Just view of
the case. The old ladies who have not slept
lately o nights, for fear of another war, may
adjust their nightcapsi and repose as soundly
as eYer.-N. y. Mail

lawmakers in public, while they are the worst
of law-breaxers in private The best service
that courts and juries could render to this state
and nation would be the Incarceration OF viii
lains of this class in the penitentiaries of the
land They do more to increase the burdens Of
Taxpayers, to corrupt society, and to demoralize
politics, than all other criminals and all other
causes combined; and the political atmosphere
will never be purified until the lesson is distinctly
taught that direct or indirect peculation is as
sure to be punished by imprisonment as bur
glary or highway robbery. Undue leniency has
so much increased the audacity of these grace
less scamps, that year after year they become
more clamorous in their demands and more
shameless in their schemes of fraud and extor-
ton. If they must be supported at the public
expense, it is thousand times better to sustain
them on penitentiary rations costing thirty-six
cents per day than to permit them to run at
large, luXuriating on the fat of the land, living
in fine houses, wearing purple and fine linen,
and adding countless millions to their ill-gotten

North America belongs to the rulers of a cluster
