The Hartford Courant is making things decd-
edly uncomfortable for the democratic city clerk.
IL seems he has neglected TO submit detailed
account of the fines and costs entrusted TO him,
and TO make a square showing of his deposits to
the city treasurer, so as to place the whole thing
in such shape that if an investigation is de-
sired it can be had by those seeking it. The
Courant is determined to push the matter until
this is done, and the quicker it is done the better
it will be for the reputation of the clerk.

Connecticut democrats of late have been vo-
ciferousy claiming that they were never par
ticulary opposed to negro suffrage, aud that no
| body should repudiate them at this late day on
that account. The republican newspapers of the
| state, however, have succeeded in making little
| discovery, which almost looks as if it would
| have been just as well for the unterriied TO have
| kept rather quieter upon the subject. 1t seems
| central committee ofthe state issued an unusual
ly distinct declaration of principles in regard tC
| the voting of colOred men, denOuncing it in thu
| most unmeasured terms, and the republican edi
tors, having found out this little document, arr
| giving it the benefit of a wide extent of publ
| cation.
