The Connecticut Election has resulted in q
quasi Republican sppcess; that is to say that
Jewell, the Radical candidate, is elected gov
ernor by 500 majority. Grants majority was
over 5000, SO that there is really large Demo-
cratic gain. The Democrats elect two con-
gressmen and theB Republicans two. The
Legislature, likewise, is Republican, which,
it is said, secures tie ratification of the fif-
teenth amendment A fair apportionment
would, doubtless, have secured the defeat of
the amendment; but the Legislative districts
are so arranged that the Radicals can always
carry the Legislature, even against the popu-
lar vote. BY way Of showing how this is
accomplished, it il enough to state that
twenty-three small towns. with an aggregate
population of only $4,000. return forty-siI
members, whilst Hartford and New Haven,

How wonderfully Tennessee has quieted
down since it has ceased to be the theater Of
'Parson" Brownlow's feats of ofirepressible and
fantastic malignity. His transfer from the
governorship of the State to q seati the Uni
ted States Senate has proved both fortunate
and fitting. His presence cannot disgrace
the Senate, whose moral and intellectual ave.
rage is marked by such men as Yates, Chsnd-
ler and Cameron, and in which he is, Of him.
self, incapable of committing public outrage,
and his absence is for Tennessee welcome
relief, and amounts to great positive bles-
sing '.Brownlow," says the New York
Times, '.had remarkable ability for keep
ing himself in hot water, and for keeping in
hot water everybody else with whom he had
anything to do and he managed to keep the
State of Tennessee in hot water during the
entire term of his governorship. These red
hot politicians are wretched hands at civil ad-
ministration." This is mild way of putting
the effect of tho diabolical devices
which distinguished the Brownlow reg
ime in Tennessee. 1t is not the
'.red hot politicians" alone who have
up for these four years to o condition Of
miserable disquiet. Cold-blooded villainy
has had more to do than red hot politics with
organizing the system which has stided the
spontaneous growth Of peace and excluded
the guarantees of tranquility and good order.
The whole South would have quieted down
long since had not the infiction upon it of
this devilish element been ingeniously pro-
vided for in all the legislation designed to
carry out the so-called reconstruction policy
of the dominant party. "Red hot poll
icians" of no denomination or persuasion
could have seriously retarded such consum-
nation had that pervading mischief been out
of the way. If all its personal embodiments
and instrumentalities should only be alb
sorbed into the Senate as Brownlow has been,
the event would be greatly tranquilizing and
salutary, though the malign legislation which
gave them their potency were to continue the
same. Bad men, by perversion, may make
even good laws bitter; and without such exc
cutioners, even bad laws may become in
measure tolerable.

1t seems to be very difficult for Gen. Grant
TO persuade his officers to come to Louisiana.
Sheridan wanted larger commander rather
he probably foresaw that New Orleans would
be an uncomfortable place for man who
would be expected to associate on intimate
terms with carpetbhggers and scalawags, and
now General Howard intimates that he would
like, if the Presidsat- General please, to re-
main in charge of hts congenial bureau. Gen.
Grant has referred the case to the secretary
of war.

Mr.. Cushing's canal treaty is in bad way.
The United States Senate treat it coldly and
the Colombian papers denounce 1t as an in
vention of the devil or the enemy. They
think it is Yankee trick, and Yankee tricks
are not popular outside of the jurisdiction OF
the best government the world ever saw
The President of Colombia, however, de-
clares the project @to be the most transcen-
dent of our day." for all the world and Col
ombia; and declares that the canal will set
'the seal indicated by nature" to the Col
ombian escutcheon. Nevertheless he init
mates that the form of this transcendent pro-
ject is a little too liberal to the Panama Rail-
road Company. The result viii probably be
the defeat of the treaty and the postpone
ment of an enterprise which seems to be q
little more difficult than the Ship Island
Canal project.

United States weigber's figures. These
he hands to the merchant, and the lat
ter, finding that they correspond eX-
actlV with the figures Of the United
States weigher, comes to the conclu-
sion that all is right. 1t Is said that a
verv large number OF United States
and city weighers are implicated in
this kind of nefariOus business. In
deed. it is understood that the men,
laborers, who depend a great deal upon
work that is furnished them by the
city weigher when weighing n cargo,
and who r constantly thrown out of
employment when the city weigher
buys the figures of the United States
weigher instead of weighing the cargo
himself, and making out his own tig-
ures, have laid their grievances before
the Collector. 1t is alleged that many
of the United States weighers have
obtained as much as 5000 and $500 at
one time in exehmae<Or their figures.
