Probably the dispute between our Minister
to Spain and his Secretary of Legation will
be best treated by the recall of both, on which,
as we are told from Washington, the Admin
istration has decided. Certainly, however, the
facts, as developed, do not indicate the Secre-
tary as the more blameworthy party to the
dispute and the appointment of successor
to Mr.. Perry among the earliest acts OF the
new Administration. while Mr. Hale was left
untouched, was therefore an unjust implication,
which we are glad to see withdrawn by the
recall of the nomination.-Mr. Hale's has been
an hOnored name in American politics 1t Is
all the more saddening to see it now bedraggied
in the mire of Madrid and the Queens Palace.

holding Office at its hands when they deserted
it to follow the fortunes of Andrew johnson.
The Democratic rank and file did not recog-
nize them as brethren; the Republicans de-
tested them as ungrateful renegades; and
the general repugnance to their election has
beaten English and broken down his party.
1t is within the truth to estimate the Demo
cratic net loss by these two bad nominations
at 1000 votes. The Representatives they were
nominated to displace are fair men, who had
been but once chosen, and had deserved well
of their party; and when they were thrown
aside in order to reward two place hunting
apOsates, the masses resolved that they would MT
stand it. The recoil upset also MIR. James

The opposition to the wise confirmation of

rejoice to know, however, that there were
some of these sagacious enough to see that
the thirst for vengeance could not be dis
creetly elevated into q National Policy. We
see it stated that Gen. Willard War
uer of Alabama made earnest appeals
in the Executive Sessions, in behalf of his old
enemy and present cOlaborer in the work of
restoration, and that Senator Kellogg of Louis

his Democratic opponent and they accordingly had the

We take leave once more to say-and we are
glad of the opportunity to say it in the case of
SO thorough Republican as Mr.. Covode-that
men might as well talk of detection in the
Republican ranks on Astronomy or the Census,
as on question involving only the law
and the evidence, like an election case.
We hope Mr.. Covode has better reasons for
expecting to get his seat than any trust or dis
trust in the support of his fellow Republicans
because he is a Republican. There is q way of
relieving people who write such stuff as the
above extract from the self-imposed stigma of
dishonesty; but it is not a way creditable to
their intelligence.

Tho news from Paraguay which has just
reached Lisbon is quite different from what
the latest war bulletins from Rio would lead
us to expect No progress seems as yet to
have been made in the organization of q Pro-
visonal Government at Asuncion. which had
previously been declared to be the object of
the mission Of Paranhos, the Brazilian
Commissioner. The latter had submit
ted peace propositions to the Paragraphs
which, if correctly reported, would involve an
abandonment of several articles Of the triple
alliance and substantial acceptance Of the
proposition made in 1866 by President Lopez
to the Allies. President Lopez, then, expressed
his readiness to guarantee tho freedom of the
navigation in the Paraguay and River Plate,
and has never laid any claim, we believe, to
the Brazilian province of Matte Crosse, which
he has only held for several years as con-
queror. .-tf 50 .'-athr f

King Ferdinand of Portugal positively de-
clines the crown of Spain, which Committee
representing the majority of the Cortes for
mally offered to him. 1t was understood both
in Spain and in Portugal that the selection OF
Ferdinand had been made with a special view to
promotings the Iberian union, or the con-
solidation of Spain and Portugal into one
Kingdom. The idea is popular in Spain,
especially among the Progressists, but the
Portuguese, dreading that it might lead to their
absorption by the more numerous Spanish
nationality, are generally opposed to it.

year for supplying the necessary official wants
of each and every one of them. One or two
economically minded Senators think this pro-
portion has an i'll look, and would like to re-
duce the contingent expenses. But we feel
sure that the great pressure of important pub

vent their finding time to attend to it.

The Eight Hour law which disturbs Secretary
Borie seems to be no disturbance at all to the
subcommittee of the House Naval Committee
that has been reporting at length upon the
subject. We can hardly regard it as probable,
however, that the prompt conclusions of this
subcommittee are likely to get an equally
prompt ratification from the House. What it
recommends is the passage of resolution de-
claring that Congress, in the presept Eight
Hour law, meant to enact that Government
service should be paid at the rate of ten hours
wages for eight hours labor.

The bill for taking the census has been
amended into new shape, and is not at all
certain of passage. The amendments to the
National Banking law, as passed by the SEN
ate, are still in the House Committee, and
it is doubtful if they get leave to come out.
The Indian Appropriation bill still hangs fire !;
and business generally seems to drag more
than is usual so near the expected close
of a session.

CONNECTICUT.


The Republican victory is more complete than
we supposed it when our last issue went to
press. Marshall Jewell (Rep) is chosen Gov
ernor by 81 majority, while the rest of the
Republican State ticket appears to run de-
cidedly better than, the Governor. We shall
not be surprised to find the average Republic
can majority nearly or quite 1000. ...
But this is the least conspicuous feature of
our triumph. We have three Republican Rep
resentatives chosen to the present House-a
clear gain Of tpo-so that the delegation stands
three for us out of four; whereas the last was
three against us to one for us. The defeat of
Babcock in the New-Haven District was hoped
for by our most sanguine friends, and that
was all, as the District had given over 1000
majority against us at the two preceding State
Elections. 1t now elects Kellogg Republican,
by 1913 majority. ,...
The Republicans have increased their ma
iority in the State Senate, but have lost in the
House from local and personal influences,
mainly connected with projected Railroads
and Railroad Bridges. Norwalk, Danbury,
Canton, East Haddam, and dozen other Re-
publican towns, have each chosen one Demo-
crat to the House, while we note no Demo-
cratic town but Waterbury which has chosen
a Republican. The House is, however, Repub-
lcan by majority of 10 to 20.

The XYth Amendment is thus nobly approved.
It's opponents have complained that it was
to be voted on by Legislatures chosen before
it was framed. NEw-HAMPsHRE has sus-
tanned it by large increase over last Springs
majority; CONNECTICUT has rejected her
Democratic State Officers expressly to ratify
it. The Democrats insisted that this was tho
absorbing issue of the canvass /; they fought
their battle on it, and were beaten. Let them
never more say that it has not been fairly
carried. a...s .a t-' -sf "
Connecticut is a Republican State She has
proved it at each Presidential Election since
the Republican party was formed. At
Presidential Elections, citizens usually absent
on business come home to vote, and nearly
every voter comes out; it is otherwise at
State and Town Elections. The Republicans
barely carried the State in the Spring of 1856
and so of 1S60-though they swept it in the
November. In 1868. they would have
lost it had any one but Thomas Ii. Seymour
headed the Democratic ticket. They barely
escaped defeat in 1855 /; they did not escape it
in the State Elections of 1867 and 1868, though
they had over 5000 majority for Grant last
November.
At this weeks election, the Republicans
would probably have been beaten, through alb
sence and apathy, but for the faulty of their
adversaries in nominating James Dixon and
James f. Babcock for Congress. These men
had been trusted and honored by the Wing
