CONNEOTIUUT.

NoRwALK, October 2 The robbery Of
the bank here was not discovered till this
morning. The vault had been pryed
open; and lying on the floor, at a dis.
lance of ten feet, was the iron door Of
the safe--a mass of iron, weighing 1000
pounds-where it was blown with pow
der. The explosion occurred about one
o'clock this morning, and was heard BY
several persons, who endeavored to
ascertain the cause. but without success.
The loss of the bank amounts to about
$40, 900, and that of private depositors to
1000 or $4,000. The burglars tools
which are left are similar to those used
in the Ocean bank robbery. One of the
depositors was exceedingly fortunate;
he had placed his entire fortune in an
old pocket.bosk in his box, which was
found in the rubbish all safe.

GENERAL REYNOLDS I'm THE
POLITICAL RING.

Major General Reynoids, commanu-
ing the military district of Texas, has
himself entered the. political ring, and
will endeavor 10 carry his department
for the ultra wing of the Republican
psrty. He is sorely fflicted in mind for
fear that the more MISUNDERSTANDING
men of the party will succeed in putting
down dsspoiism 10 that State. To obviate
50 dire a calamity, be has made an urgent
appeal TO the President to interpose the
Influence of his high position in favor of
the Davis proscriptionists. 1t is mag
ioed BIZ ihi, little military despot
that should General Hamilton and his
friends succeed ia electing their ticket
that the entire work Of reconstruction IN
Texas will have been for naught. He
pre,epds to have always endeavored to
preserve harmony among the different
classes of the Repnb!ifsn party, and that
he had told the leaders (E. J. Davis and
Al. Hamilfon) that be would recon-
mend for Office men of both factions
whenever convinced of their qualihca-
t;ons The information. however, reached
hi. ears while the Republican delega-
tions we're on at Washington. sometime
eiuce. that the Hsmitonians had en-,
tered into coalition with the Demo
Gratis, and intended carrying the State
in the interest Of Hamilton with
a reversionary interest to the Demo
Gratis after the political demise OF the he
publican party in the State. The very
thought of such thing causes the mili'
tary tiger to howl with rage. What,
would Republican dare to accept ssp'
port from Democrats Why, to do so,
General Reynolds would concisde at
once that it was surrender of .Republi'
capism in his District. he must be
about his fathers mission" snd that is
40 see Texas brought again into che
Union az sound Black Republican
State. We would like TO be informed
how it is that military commander,
even under the Reconstruction laws,
ran interfere and take sides when the
truly loyal may differ in opinion. II
elections are conducted according to law
in the military districts, then the COM
manders of such districts cannot assume
70 say who the people shall vote Tor or
who ihey shall vote against. Has it come
to mass that little military satrap will
arrogste to epeak for the body OF the peo-
ole and rule them, as if they we're not ca
pable Of self government By what su-
shorty will Ames in Mississippi and
REYNOLDS in Texas assume to play the
part Of autocrsts, and trarnple upon the
sacred rights Of The citizens OF those
States? The acts of these men
have no precedent in the history oil
the American republic. And Grant. the
figurebeac President, is called upon to
assist in the outrage of further prevent
ing the people Of Texas from selecting
such officers Of State as best susts them
If any man hereafter doubts the existence
of the worst OF despotisns into which our
republic has been converted, let him
read the history Of the reconstructed
Southern States.

SENATORIAL ELECTION.

The election Of Senator from Ten

topic most descsnted on by politicians
IN our State. 1t will. we apprehend,
be soon determined who the coming
man will be, on the meeting of
the Legislature. The outside pres
sure is considerable for Andrew john
son, but we must confess our sur
prise at the deep interest manifested By
people of other States in the election Of
this ex-President. The people Of Ten
nessee certainly are competent to select
appropriate representatives, and regard
1t as officious for journals outside the
State to advise us as to what may
be our duty. The Southerners, as a
mass aImost, in our State, are opposed
20 the further elevation Of this man, of all
others the most disisstefnl. II we will but

The Fifteenth Amendment and the
Chinese.

Chinese.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.]
The New York Tribune says that the
Democrats carried California upon the
false pretense that the Fifteenth Amend
ment would enable the Chinese to become
voters" Now, it is true that the amend
ment does open the door to that result.
It prohibits any State from excluding
any citizen of the United States from
suffrage On account of his color, race, or
preyious condition. All Chinese who
are born in this country will, under
the amendment, be voters. Those who
are not born here have but to OBJ
tain the striking out of the word white"
from the naturalization laws, and they
can then become citizens, and avail
themselves of the privileges of the
amendment. Is it likely that when we say
that color, nor race, nor previous condl-
tor, shall not be any bar to citizen
ship, that we shall make United States
citizenship for foreign voters depend upon
those conditions The naturalization
laws will, of course. be altered by the
party in power so that they will conform
10 the amendment That is the inten-
ton, and the people of California, who
are opposed to having the Pacific coast
ruled by pagan Chinese, who will depress
and ruin American labor, have acted
wisely in rejecting it. In ten years China
can send here, from her 100000 600 in
hsbitants, enough to people dozen
States and control their institutions.
They will do it, too, if energetic steps are
not taken to prevent it.
The.grestest encouragement we could
possibly hold out to the organisation OF
q new Chinese Empire in the Western
United States, would be the adoption of
this Amendment Let every laborer and
friend of his country vote against it. We
want the Pacific slope for the descend
ants of our own race, and those of the
emigrants from Europe who affiliate with
II. That man who had an orchard to set
out would be considered fool if he
should plant the seedlings of old and
worn-out fruit instead of young and fresh
varieties, 1t is the vigorous Caucasian
who should be nsked to people the West
ern Continent, and not the degraded
African and Asiatic. White men must
rule America.
