LITCHFIELD.

1ne peopie oI tnlSs town are peculiarly interested insthe makeup of the General Assembly, The friends of our new railroad need some additional legislation to give them better opportunities for connections, &c..and then the question of new coun- ty, with Waterbury as it's chief town is to come up, and which involves the division of Litchfeld County and the removal of the County Seat from its present location. Besides, there are other matters of minor importance. Under these circumstances it would almostsseem as if party considera- tions might be safely dropped in voting for representatiyes-to the Legislature.
 The dominant party in this town nomi- mated. and have elected Noah W. Beach and Edward W. Seymour. Mir. Seymour is well-known.s But the renown of Mir. Beach has not get illumined the more dis tant parts of the State.
 During the Pierce administration man by the name Of Pike was appointed post. masteret Viclaburg. He had been a very energetic and successful worker for the party, and this position was his reward. Pike was a thorough-going Democrat, strong adhsren to the administration and Withal 9 capable man. He, however, la- bored under the slight embarrassment that he could not read. and especially could not read writing. Wicksburg was distribu- tion office: when the mails came in, Mir. Pike would pour their contents onto the floor in a heap, and shovel up peck, for instance, and send it to Jackson, 8 half bushel to Little Rock, bushel and g half to New Orleans, and so on until he had dispoaa&aS. the entire pile. Mistakes, in-s deed, somehm& happened; but then, on the whole, it was much better for the coun- try to have reliable Democrat in that po- siion. even if he could not read. than to have . whig. s-s-,-ss. ss y
 The election in this place excited unus- nal interest owing to the queer combina- tions and complications of the representa- tive tickets. ItHas generally known that the Northfeld voters of both parties had united to defeati both the candidates from this village, andit was also believed that they would unite upon the second names on each ticket and thus secure their cleo tien, unless special effort was made here to defeat the combination. With 8 view to- effect this, ticket with the names of both the representatives from the village was largely voted by both parties. It turned out however, that the Northaeld Demo- orats had bolted bots their party nominees, Under such circamStances it was irnpossi- ble toguess how matters would result. It finally turned out. however, that both Democrats were elected. The issues were local rather than political and the votes polledIb by the respective candidates are no indication of personal popularity or nnpop- ularity. sssi as1 9 s7s

RECEIVING THE RETURNS.

Monday evening, Democrats and Repub. licans assembled for the returns at our Post O6ace. At about nine they began to come in rapidly. Heavy losses for the Republi- csns in sPiymouth and Watertown had seemed to insure the election of King in the 16th Dist. Then came Salisbury with it's tremendous majority for Barnum. Things then began to take different turn. Scattering returns from New Haven Coun- v damaged Hendricks prospects, and the Waterbury vote showed very heavy loss forEnglish. At last there came news from New Haven with gain of 800. Top of this came the returns from Hartford with hah as great Q gain as in New Haven. About this time. there was private dis. patch (s1.O9. c. o. D. to the editor of the Sentinel purporting to come from the Hart ford Times, stating that English was elect cd by majority ct least equal to that of last year. and that the Democracy had car ried the Legislature and elected three Con. gresaInen. It is not known who is the au- thor of this :'cruel joke, 'but Bartlett Bent, ChaiEuaan of the Republican State Central Committee, is suspected of sending it in return for that bogus report of his com. mites meeting in this place.
 THE "cRuEL JOKE" TAKES EFFECT.
 Within five minutes after the receipt of this 'despatch, the tall but athletic figure of the editor of the Sentinel might have been seen ramming e charge into the Morris four-pounder, just south of the Centre Park while others of the Democracy gath. cred dry goods boxes and started bonfires. For two mortal hours the cannonade con- tinasd. During this time returns continu- ed to be received which didn't quite come up to the glowing despatch of MT. Bent. Strong was reported elected by 275, and Kellgggsi prospects looked lovelier than Kendrick'a. It gradually became evident to the democratic mind that the Senate was Republican, and the House about as usual. Finally came the abatement that the Re. publicans of New Haven were firing guns oyer,the election of Jewell by a small ma icrity.aud of Kellogg by t,osnty-taree major ity on full returns.
 d bsss ENCOURAGED.
 About this time small party might be seen vending their way sorrowfully down South Street dragging four.pounder. containing about 2 lbs. of powder, @ couple of mashed bricks, and an old pair of tongs, charged apparently by some one who had concludednot to fire it. For an hour after, the tall gentleman who had presided over the entertainnent might be seen sitting on the park fence, with his coat and vest hang ing aotess his arm, his face blackened with powder and having much the look of pi- rate who has blown up his ship and him. self and has just come down thoroughly discouraged. or of man who has been subjected to q "cruel joke"
