The election here passed off quietly, re- sulting in reduced democratic majority.
 Much qualification is expressed in re. gard to the success of Mir. Baldwin in the Sixteenth District, which was so unexpect- ed that it is especially appreciated.

 The Congl pulpit was supplied last Sabbath by Rev. Jas. H. Marr, of New York. The congregation in the morning was unusually large and seemingly much interested in the discourse, the subject of which was, 'The perfection of Gods word. y Mir. Marr alluded to the attempts now be- ing made to abolish the Bible from the public schools and affirmed that the Bible was not sectarian book, but Gods mes sage to al men. The preacher was a young man, very energetic and earnest, and made quite favorable impression upon all who listened to him. s~
 The scenes in our streets on election day were the most revolting of any that ever occurred in New Milford. They were a disgrace to civilization. Free rum was plentiful and there was a reeling mass of humanity from the polls to Brothwell's sa- loon, the headquarters of the Democratic party. About two o'clock the fsticufs be- gan operations. There were three or four knock downs and the crowd was in tumult of excitement. Finally two constables made their appearance and by dint of strenuous exertion restored 9 comparative degree of tranquility. These and other l performances of similar character were sure presages of Democratic victory, as was signided when the ballots were connt- ed.

Some weeks since, our quiet town was aroused by the apparent commencement of Temperance reform. A meeting was held in the Town Hall. Committees were
 appointed. and large sums pledged to car- ry out the .doings of the organization. Subsequent meetings were held, and the
 prospect of speedy rout of rummies was before us. "Elias" went around and pro- prietors of hotels and saloons were request ed to desist in the nefarious traffic. So
 far so good. But suddenly we hear of one Potter selling out his stock in trade to the
 Reformers. We suppose to make rinegar

The Legislature.

The I0fIQ0ate IeSuIt HI tu6 OtAtcouGA Dist gives us the Senate by one majority Nr. Henry S. Barbour, who represents oul district, is an excellent lawyer, whose name las heretofore come before the legislature as candidate for the bench of the Superi CT court, and who has several times repre- sented his town in the House He is a conscientious as we'll as an able legislator, decidedly hostile to the system of s'rings, J Log rolling, and corruption which has oi late impaired the efficiency of the Connec. ticut General Assembly. He will probably bs placed at the head of the Judiciary com mittee, on which MT. E. W. Seymour will naturally represent this county from the House.
 Gen Edward Harland enters the Senate after years service in the house. The quiet courage and excellent judgment which characterized his career in the field, indicate the kind of legislative service he renders. He exercised O considerable and . growing influence in the House last year, and will unquestionably take leading part in the quieter deliberations of the Senate.
 There are only two members of the Sen ete who were in that body last year Lu- c5en W. Sperry. democrat, from the Fourth Dist, and Joseph D. Barrows, republican, from the Fourteenth Dist. Among the new Senators the lucky member from the Sixtssnth, who has already had years ex. periencs in the House, deserves an impor. tant place. .f fe-5... t...
 Upon one reform the Republican mem. bers of the Senate should insist. The con trolling majority should choose its own leaders. The appointment of committees by hostile Lieut.. Governor is an absurdi ty that should no longer be tolerated. Ir 1857 and 1868 there were compromises, ol rather trcdes, effected which left neither party responsible. and which occasionet great and just dissatisfaction. Either the Lieut. Governor should appoint the Sen ate committees. and be responsible for th' choice made, or the Republican member' should appoint them in open caucus and not bargain with the Iiens. Governor through Iog-roIIing conference committees as heretofore. ..-..,
 I'm spite of the fact that the control oi nearly all the cities deprives the Republi' cans of inc House of their natural leaders, the list shows many strong men on our side Lafayette s. Foster, of Norwich, James T. Pratt. of Wethersfeld, and AL ford Burnham, of Windham, have been members of Congress while Mir. Thomas COwles. of Pennington, and several others, have been prominent members of our leg izlatnre. Mir. Foster will probably be Speaker. and we look for a vigorous ofen- sive campaign against every species of job bery on the part of Gen. Pratt.
 Messrs. Eaton. Hammersly, Doolittle and Seymour, constitute @ very strong DenOcratic team, and if the session should prove too short, we guess that it will not be the fault of the Hon. John Cotton Smith, of Sharon, or of Mr. J. Fl. Olmsted, of Stamford.
