No rooster of ours shall exult in these COL
umns over even SO great, 80 unexpected and
immensely gratifying political triumph as
that which, it seems, at the time OF this writ
ing, has been won by the Republicans in Con-
necticut. The Democratic victory CT New
Hampshire was an accident-a temporary
triumph ofno significance except as record
OF passing mood of the people. The Repub-
lican victory won in Connecticut after vigor-
GUS campaign and an exhaustive discussion by
the ablest orators OF all the issues between
the Two parties, has significance that no
one can misunderstood 1t means that the
patriotic people OF of he North are unit in
1871, as they were in 1868, against Frank

Kuklux, or Gen. Grant as the leader O! that

phrase the murders of the loyal men of the

The New York World expressed itself as
sure of Connecticut few days before the
election, and Gov. English had made arrange

to secure his election. But there was genuine
uprising of the people, and English,i Tam

In the Dominion House of Commons on
Tuesday Mr.. Cartwright, member of the Cd.
position, moved an address to the Queen re.
specting the withdrawal of the troops and mu-
nitions of war from Canada, saying that while
fully recognizing the duty of Canada to main
tam a military defence, and expressing no
OPINION IN opposition to the Imperial policy in
view of the peculiar and analogous position OF
the Dominion, cOnterminOus for thousands OF
miles with powerful States, many of whose in
habitants are VIGOROUSLY actuated by senti-
ments of bitter hostility by the British empire
we cannot but feel that the withdrawal Of the
troops is calculated to excite much uneasiness
in the minds of many of Her Majesty's sub
lects on this continent. Sir George E. Carrier
said that as the address expressed generally the
wishes OF the Government they would not OPP
pose it, but he reminded the mover that there
were garrisOns at Quebec and Halifax. The
House went into committee on the address,
and they reported and asked leave to sit again.
