The Connecticut election took place last
of that State has been remarkably close. In
1868 English, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, defeated Hawley, Radical, by a
few hundred votes in 1869, Jewell. Radi-
cal. was elected over English by very small
majority; in 1870 English defeated Jewell
by S43 votes. At the election on Monday
English and Jewell were again tho rival
candidates, and although there were "a 900
votes polled in the State, the contest has
even been much closer than any one that
has preceded it. It seems. however, TO be
conceded now Thursday by the leading
Radical papers Of the Onion State. that
English is reelected by about IS of major
ity. The Dsmocrotic State ticket is also
elected by the same maJority. Governor
English ran ahead of his vote Of last year in
every one Of tie eight counties in the State,
except New Haven county, in which large
portion of the negro population reside
There are l 500 negro votes in the State, all
of whom voted solidly for Jewell, the Radi-
cal candidate. The inference is therefore
plain that If several hpn6red Radicals, dis
gusted with negro suffrage, had not cast
their votes for English. Jewell would have
been elected by about the same majority
that English received one year ago. Under
all tha circumstances. and taking into CON
sideration tAe fact that this was the first
time the neorr vets y9sS rplied in Tho State
the Democrats OF Connecticut have just rea-
soh to be proud Of the result. In the Ian
guage Of Mercutio, when be booked al the
wound in his arm. although it is GOT as
deep SIS well, nor as wide as 2 church door.
still it is enough" The delegation 10 Con
gTess stands the same as it did iD the last
CoHgFess-three Radicals aud one Democrat.

New York, 10. The Commercial has a
rumor that the heavy tax payers of the city
are to be overhauled by the grand jury, and
that prominent gentlemen who were con-
spicious in white ASKING the late Comptrol
Ter have been exempt from personal taxation,
and indirectly engaged in defrauding the city.
All the transactions of the Park Commission
are being overhauled to ascertain vi here the six
millions they expended have gone. One or
more of these gentlemen it is said cannot es-
cape without indictments. A half dozen of
attacks of the department of public works,
said to be indicted have all fed. The per-
sonal tax book heretofore held sacred was be-
fore the grand jury yesterday.

The Governor and Executive Council are
now in session for the purpose of making
nominations and auditing bills. The opinions
of the Supreme Judicial Court on the alleged
irregularities in voting and returns of votes in
Hancock county and Frenchville, have been
received by the Governor. There are
three separate opinions given, but they all
concur on the main issue. They decide that
the authority Of the Governor and Council in
such cases is restricted within very narrow
limits, and that they have no jurisdiction in
going back of the records based upon the e.
turns made in conformity to law The re-
suit is that the Governor and Council can on
ly act upon the returns signed and returned
by the proper officers, except in reference to the
number of votes and persons votedtor. When
the certificate of elections received and the fact
attested by the proper officers, and duly sealed
up, it constitutes return, and the examin-
ing officers have no right to go behind it and
inquire into the legality of the call of the
meeting or its proceedings where the votes
were cast. The power of the Governor and
Council being limited in this matter, the
Court will undoubtedly be called upon to
hear the evidence in the Hancock and French
vile cases, and make up their decision

News From Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Is.

WAsHIxGToN, Dec. Is.
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tives:
In accordance with the act of Congress
approved March 23d, 1871, convened a
commission of eminent gentlemen, to devise
rules and regulations for the purpose of re-
forming the civil service. Their labors are
now complete, and l transmit herewith the
report together with the rules which are
recommended for my action. These rules
have been adopted and will go into effect on
the LIST day of January, 1872, under the law
referred to as l interpret it. The authority
is already invested in the Executive to en-
force the regulations, with full power to
abridge, alter or amend them at his option,
when changes may be decided advisable.
These views together with the report of the
commissioners are submitted for your care
full consideration, as to whether further legis.
lation may be necessary in order to carry
out an effective and beneficial civil service
reform. If left to me or further Congress
action, the rules presented by the commits
sion under the reservation already mentioned
will be faithfully executed, but they are not
binding without further legislation. 1t being
DESTROYS that this subject should be brought
to the attention of Congress before the APP
preaching recess, l have not time to suffi
GENTLY examine the accompanying report to
enable me to suggest definite legislative &C
ton to enforce the support which may be
necessary in order to give thorough trial
to policy long needed.
ask for all the strength which Congress can
give me to enable me to carry out the reforms
in the civil service, recommended by the COM
missioners and adopted, to take effect as be-
fore stated, on January LIST, 1872. The law
which provides for the converting of a COM
mission to devise rules apd regulations for
reforming the evils of civil service authorizes,
l think the permanent organization of prim-
AIRY board, under whose general direction all
examinations of applications for public office
should be conducted. There is no appropria-
ton to continue such board beyond the ter
mination of its present labors. l therefore
recommend that a proper appropriation be
made to continue the services of the present
board for another year, and in view of the
fact that three members Of the board hold
positions in the public service which precludes
them from receiving extra compensation un-
der the existing laws, that they be author
ICED to receive fair compensation for extra
services rendered by them in the performance
of these duties.

| Persons looking for an appropriate and
most useful gift for lady friend, will do well
to call at s. F. Davenport's, where may be
seen Singer and Florence Sewing Machines

the market. He has also all the furnishings
for sewing machines.
Now while we are looking for something to
please the eye, we are not likely to forget the
inner man, for good Christmas dinner is ex-
pected, and we know of no better place to
buy the goose or turkey, or the juicy roast
beef usually considered indispensable on the
occasion, than at Rufus Beans of the Central
Market, or at II. r. Smal's of the South
End Market. The other "fixn's" will be
found in rich variety at Tobey's, Nye's, John
sons, Lowel's or Day & Co. sand if any one
of our readers should require barrel Of choice
flour for themselves, or to make glad the
household of some poor widow, we know of
no better place to get it than at Lowells or

Mrs. Decker has some very nice articles
suitable for gifts to lady friend.
Misses Clark & Brooks, milliners, are clos
ing out their stock, and a good opportunity is
offered to parties who like to invest at bottom
prices. They will go West as soon their
business can be closed up.
w. Il. Ballard has perfumery, brushes, and
other fancy articles suitable for the holidays
and very useful withal. Halves & Warren,

wise in so doing.

A Rich DISPLAY OF HOLIDAY Goops.

Having glanced at the stores in Augusta,
let us take look at the display of holiday
goods exhibited by the traders in Eal-
lowell, which we find unusually large and
attractive; and if purchasers do not avail
themselves of some of the inducements of
fered by our advertisers in that city, it will be
evident they have no money to invest or that
they do not take the Daily Kennebec Journal.
Particular attention is called to the adver-
tisements of Mr.. Roberts and +. Allen, in the
fancy goods line, and the book store of Mr.
Spaulding just now seems to be tie center of
attraction for those of literary turn of mind.
Read his advertisement. There are others
who make good display, such as Beeman,
Hobbs, Davis, and others. Mr.. James IL.
Leigh, who has store that would be credit
able to any city, has splendid display of
holiday goods in his showcase, on the counters
and shelves, ana he wants everybody to call on
him this Christmas time, regardless of the
