We recently commended the Efforts respect

body and before the country on more straight
forward, manly basis than it had hitherto en-
joyed. These gentlemen submitted PROPOSE

and proposed it's embodiment in complete

CONNECTICUT.

Though the returns are not complete as we
write, the gain of more than ONE THOUSAND
on the vote of last year nearly or quite insures
the election of MARSHALL JEWELL as Governor,
with all his colleagues on the Republican State
Ticket-Gov. English being the strongest man
of his party and running generally ahead of
other candidates. We have every reason to
believe that Messrs. STRONG and STARKwEA-
Their are reelected to Congress, and a report
adds Mr.. KELLOGG also, but we cannot believe
that on anything short of full, precise returns
We have no doubt that the Legislature is again
Republican in both branches and probably by
an increase on last years meager majorities.
The vote is some thousands heavier than
last year-in fact, very full, considering that
the day was in good part rainy and the roads
in wretched condition. Hartford, New-liaven,
New-Britain, Stamford and Norwalk are
among the towns which have done nobly.
Connecticut has often deserved the grateful
blessing of the Republicans of her sister States,
but she never did so well under circumstances
so embarrassing and disheartening as yester-
day. The Sumner quarrel, the clamOr against
the President with regard to Santo Domingo,
the New Hampshire surprise, and humid
red other make-weights, operated to dis
courage and paralyze her working Re-
publicans, while inducing the weak breth-
rem to get out of sight and stay there.
Tammany Hall bought seat in her Senate
for one of its tools last year, and poured out
money like water to do it again this year.
It's organs secuted the suggestion that Jewell
was running in earnest, insisting that En-
glish's election. with that of three if not all
four Congressman of like pattern, was

against all these odds, the Republicans had
simply tied the State, which gave English

have exceeded all reasonable expectation All

The care which the rising generation receives in
Boston, and in Massachusetts, generally, is extra

be good one; but if boy of nineteen or twenty

really immoral without special act to assist them

Massachusetts, the law is undertaking good deal of
work which properly belongs to fathers and mothers;

morality.

The SHIN FREE LLSTn

The World exulted over the recent talk in
Canada of freeing from duty Wheat, Rye,
Oats Beans, Peas. &C., (all of them cheaper
in Canada than with us) as an extension of
Free Trade The design of this change is
simply to coax more of our Produce to find
its way to market through Canadian waters,
and thus augment Canadian tolls and naviga-
ton. 1t is in effect blow aimed at our Lake
Trade and the Erie Canal. We have no right
to complain of it and no reason to rejoice
over it. Canada legislates for herself; so do
we. We stated the fact that the last Con-
gress relieved several hundred articles alto
gether of duty, not as evincing liberality or
tending to Free Trade, but simply as exposing
the futility of the pretense set up by The
World. Yet that journal says of it;
alt perfectly true that large number OF articles
were made free by the late Tariff Act. The aggregate
amount of revenue derived from these articles during
the fiscal year 1870 was, in round numbers, 220750 Let
ma take eleven leading articles In this free list and show
what revenue they produced and whom the reduction
has benefited:

are all respectable in character and ability yet
we doubt that the public interest can be pro-
NOTED by dispensing with the services of Reve-

in his Department, would have gone elsewhere.

enough But for the robber to claim credit from his
victim after robbery OF unusual audacity for having
been acaed by the purest motives OF regard for tho
victims pecuniary prosperity, is too much"
Comments bH The Tribune.
Whether we are "the robber" or not, it is
certain that we did not claim credit for the
free-list aforesaid. On the contrary our read
ers know that we would have had the Tariff
let alone till our great Debt should have been
further reduced and funded at lower rate of
interest. But it is no more q gigantic swim
ode to relieve from duty the imported raw
material of American manufactures than thus
to relieve the imported material of Canadian
Touring mills. The one stands on precisely
the same plane with the other.
When the articles now freed were heavily
taxed, the fact that they yielded but little
revenue was cited by The World to prove the
oppressive character of the Tariff which thus
restricted importation. Chalk, that journal in
sisted, was taxed 800 per cent, to the injury
and wrong Of its American consumers. But,
whether duties are put on or taken of, the
scoldng goes on all the same. Let us do the
best we can, and let the grumblers growl to
their hearts content.

also with both Senators from South Carolina

also with both Senators from South Carolina
and majority of the Republicans in Con-
gress from the South, that tho persistent ex-
clusion from office of the most eminent South

has mischievous disturbing, irritating tend
ency, and that a General Amnesty for Offenses

prive tho Ku-Kiux of most potent means OF
fomenting disaifecton and melting outrage
The existing prescription, while it does no
good, is made the pretext and excuse for a
great deal of harm.
Ill. 1t does seem to us that all men must see
that this prescription is ruinous to the Repub-
Leans. 1t lost us Virginia in 1869, West Vir-
ginia in 1870 and afforded the pretext for the
bolt that took Missouri away from US last
November. Her people then voted directly
for and against it's perpetuation, and gave
majOrities of eight or ten to one against Its
continuance. Why should not this vote OF
three-fourths of the Republicans Ito say
nothing of the Democrats) of Missouri for
General Amnesty be entitled to some con-
siderationf
w. We have favored no Amnesty whatever
for crimes committed since the surrender and
parole Of the Rebel armies. No one has pro-
posed any. When, therefore, Mr.. Jackson as
serts that Amnesty would in any way profit the
murderer of Col. Crane "on tho public street
"at MONDAY" he simply betrays his lamentabie
ignorance of the matter he discusses. We re-
gard it as great public misfortune that the
perpetrators of such crimes during peace are
enabled to confound their homicides with
those committed in the prosecution OF civil
War
V. Mr.. jackson ought to know that his no.
tons have always been current "at Alglers
"and along the coast of Barbary." All rude
and cruel tribes have gloried in them. O~r
ideas are relatively modern, and are confined
to people at least as civilized as himself.
We close with general proposition: II
we are ever to see the violence and outrage
now rife at the South repressed and punished,
we must overlook and grant oblivion to the
oflenses committed in a civil war which ceased
nearly six years ago. I'd.

The newspaper reader has recently found in his
daily journal elongated kilograms describing the
magnificent nuptials of highly fashionable couple
in England If he will look into another part of the
same sheet he will be informed that Mr. Jones has
married Miss Smith without any spectacular hustle
whatever; and whereas il is now the rigorous thing
after the high sort of weddings to send out package
of six or eight cards to each friend acquaintance
lie may observe that Mr.. and Mrs. Jones advertise
that they will issue No Cards at all. The mourn
full question arises whether happy domestic life
can possibly be hoped for by the Joneses after such
plain and unpretentOus beginningf But we trust
that the humble and obscure couples who get no no.
tice in the newspapers, except what they pay for,
will be of good cheer. There is no reason why those
who have the of doing should not signallze
their union by tasteful ceremonial which Is also
gratifying to the public; but let not Others who en-
ter upon matrimony more quietly be cast down.
There is an old proverb that when want knocks at
the door love flies ont at the window-a thoroughly
false scandalous and sneering proverb, sour enough
to have been the invention of DIR. Swift. The love
which adversely will not make brighter and stronger
is no better than a notional liking.

CHEAT SURJECT AGATN

Philadelphia friends are assured that the
libel suit upon which we recently ventured a
few remarks was much more intimately con-
cerned with the proper Interpretation of
Shakespearean character than the mere physi-
cal properties of Mr.. Forests legs,l and quote
the following "false and malicious" passage
from the criticism which moved Mr.. Forests
ire. The writer absurdly represented Mr.. For
rest as saying:
81 consider Hamlet % be young prince about sixty
years old and aher stout for his age Ho has red face
and wears black uustache. HIS legs modelled upon
an original pian when encased in black tights are
calculated to stare and dsmaY the beholder He walks
with some difficulty and prefers to sit down whom chair
is handy"
SO far from justifying the assumption
that Mr.. Forrest brought the suit to vindicate
either tho character of Hamlet or his own
reputation as Shakespearean critic, this
extract only confirms our first impression that
the real subject matter of the libel was the
tragedian's legs. What influence an abnormal
development of leg might have upon mind,
like Hamlet's little cranky, and whether,
suppOsing the legs 20 be stuffed, great actor
could fully identify himself with the subtle
and intellectual conceptions of the dramatist,
his body, in the full consciousness that his
calves were simultaneously perpetrating a fraud,
are questions too deep for discussion in this
place. The point of the passage we have
cited is that Mr. Forrest is represented as Sc
riously believing his legs to be legs peculiarly
suitable for Hamlet, thereby intending and
meaning" as the complaint with somewhat
remarkable frankness explains, that the
plaintiff, as a public actor. had no concep-
/" ton of one of the characters which he fire.
"quently assumed on the stage, and no under
standing of the proprietics and duties of his
vocation" We therefore must regret that
the case was not pushed to trial, so that the
dispute whether Mr.. Forests legs are really
"modeled upon an original PLAN" whether III
their natural state they are calculated to
"startle and dismay the beholder," and
whether they are legs competent to play
Hamlet" might have been settled by the
test experiment in open court.
