Election aa.
The election on Monday in Connecticut
resulted in the Election of English, Dem
ocrat, over Jewell, for Governor by small
majority. Both Houses are Republican
the Senate by one majority. The day
was very stormy and there was not full

~ Cincinnati has gone Republican. The
colored men generally voted the Republic
ss can ticket And on thequestion OF Bible
- in thePublic Schools, they generally voted
a. for members Of. the School Boardin favor
of it. The minority Of the new Beard
are IN favor of The Bible in the Schools,
What the result will be on the Bible
~ question is not yet fully known. An APP
peal was taken by the old School Board
from the decision of the Superior Cont
of Cincinnati to the Supreme Court of the
State, and it is thought by some that the
s. new Board will withdraw thar appeal
q, so as to prevent decision of the Bible
question by the Supreme Court Of the
q State. From former decisions Of the
Supreme Court ON allied questions 1t Is
pretty certain that the Supreme Court
will reverse the decision of the Superior
Court OF Cincinnati, if the question ever
reaches that Court for decision.
In St. Louis the Republicans have
carried the election as usual of late.
.sg Kenosha has gone Republican by large
maiorities- all except Marshal-4-just
enough ola Marshal for the embodiment
of the Democratic party. Kenosha has
B redeemed herself from Bogus Democratic
rule, and the people have great cause for.
rejoicing. as s gs1 sseegqa
Madison has gone Democratic as usual,
except Treasurer,and it is to be hoped that
this election of Republican Treasurer
Is. may prove the beginning of the redemp-
ton of the Capital Of the State. +.

ent towns of this County as far as heard

Sec. 9. Congress stall have power to

lation" f@ 8<N.t a
The adoption of this article secures to
four million citizers of the United States
the elective franchise. And it gives to
to Congress the power toenforce their rights
by appropriate legislation. The enfran-
chisement of four millions of people is
great event in the history of our country,
and the President does well to make it
an occasion to address a special mes
sage to Congress, and through
81 Congress, to give good advice to
the newly enfranchsed. Having been
held by the supreme Court not to be citi-
Gems and not eligible to become citizens,
the President may well tender them ad-
vice when they not only become citizens
but fully enfranchised. And they will,
to a great extent, appreciate and heed
the advice which the President so Timely
and justly gives them,
