NEW PRESTON.

Last Saturday as MT. Rufus Smith was going from his house to the Village, Mir. George 0. Hitchchcock drove up behind, and so nearly over him as to push him into the ditch, and then called him G--d d--d old thief. Mir. Smith did not know that Hitchcock was back of him until he had driven nearly on to him, and from the impulse of the moment he picked up a stone, but while doing it he had time for Q second thought, and let the stone fall from his hand to the ground, and did not speak to him. This is the second time he has treated Smith in like manner Mir. Hitch- cook then dispatched one of his satellites to Litchfeld for the Sheriff that he might have Smith arrested. Hitchcock went be- fore certain Justice of the Peace in our place and s,oore that he was afraid of his life, whereupon the Justice put Smith un- der $500 bonds to the Superior Court to beep the peace and also brought Grand Juror case for assault dnd battery before the same Justice. Is there no redress for such persecution, or must respectable people be yexed and harrassed with lawsuits almost without number, without being guilty of any offence? And this same G. c. Hitch. cock is considered a .tit candidate by the Democracy, to represent them in the Leg islature. O. Democracy, how art thou fal- len! As if to verify an assertion made in your paper some weeks since, Mir. H. at- tended church last Sunday a halliday for the first time this year. x*x
 Since the above was received another correspondent writes us that at the trial of the second case, on Monday, Mr. Smith offered no evidence, and was bound over for trial before the Superior Court This correspondent, who certainly does not fa- vor Mr. Smith, states the facts as follows. His account is easily reconcilable with the one given above. ED. ENo.l ...>
 ."Saturday morning, MT. G. O. Hitch cock was driving down the hill below Mr. E. Cogswsll's, and, when opposite Mr. Leman Cogswell's house. passed MT. Rufus Smith. As soon as he had passed, MT, Smith was seen picking up stone in the road and advancing towards MT. H., seem- ingly with the intent to throw it at him; and, as he stated in the store soon after, with that intent, but on second thought, or for some other reason, he did not fling it. Why he thought of doing such ridiculous thing. We know not, unless it was through some feeling of spite or malice. MT. H., on hearing the fact that such thing had happened, decided that his life was in peril and decided to immediately arrest Mir. Smith,"

The Outlook.

There is every indication that if the Stats goes Democratic. this spring, it will only bs through the supineness of Repub- licans. The canvass, even in the cities of Hartford and New Haven, shows large Republican gains. The colored vote will more than counterbalance last years Demo. cratic majority, and we have only to do our usual work to elect Mir. Jewell. Local troubles have lost us New Hampshire and Republicans, being freemen, differ as hon. est men always will, on points of minor importance but regarding great princi- ples there is no serious difference. If we do our duty, the State is ours. If we fail to do our duty, we may yet know ourselves what it is to be governed by Ku Kluz Democracy.

 The World bases it's hone of Barnpm,s election on his being "the best abused man. Perhaps next to his "holt" as a hard listed laborer, that is MT. B.'s best qualification.

 That certainly is county Mir. Strong is justified in expecting that the Dutch will carry pretty strenuously.
 Wm. D. Bishop is talked of Lv tho Bridgeport Democrats as their canIidat. for the legislature.
 There is lively discussion going n about John Hendricks Know Nothing. ism. He denies ever having been a men per of the organization, but the evidence is strongly the other way.
 MI. James Gallagher has no less than three stupendous jobs on hand: 1st. to prove to the colored voters that his proc'a. nation as chairman of the Democratic State Committee denouncing negro suf. frage, in 1865, was a joke; 2d, to disprovs the charge that Kendrick was a Know Nothing; 3d, to prove that Kendrick did all he could to help Babcock to be elect, q in 1869.

had in destroying the even balance of his mind, and causing him to feel that he would rather be out of the world than to live with that afaiction ? This is only a matter of conjecture, but it is by far the most probable of any reason that bas been given, and is the one which is believed by those best acquainted with the facts. He nobly risked his young life to save his country, and let this be remembered now, and let those who reap the advantages of the great struggle in which he fought and suffered, throw the mantle of charity over his bier, and trust that although unknown to men. there may be some reason which in the sight of an omniscient and merciful God will extenuate this last sad act. l

 In ikening the political corruption and social degradation of the North Carolina Republican to that of the New York Demo- crat. we have conceded far more than the facts demand. The victims of the Ku Klux, too. have often been reputable, esti. mable persons whose only fault was col ored skin, or Northern birth. That Con- gress may coDstitutionally secure free cleo tions and reject State governments repre- senting only armed and organized minori- ties, is implied in the constitutional pro. vision which guarantees each State a gov. srnment republican in form. Republicans must not forget, however. that our par tizans. losing by Ku 'Klux terrorism as much as the Democracy gain. may be temp ted to congregations of fact and into violent md really unconstitutional methods of re- oression. What we need is not the hasty. ;yrannous legislation of partizan fear and hatred. but the calm exercise of just con- stitutional power. s I

The Duty of Congress.

It ig Q noticeable fact that the Democra- cy disdain all responsibility for the Ku Klux outrages, and oppose Congressional Interference for their suppression, with about equal viger. We shall not claim the Kn Klux movement is at present directed against the National authority, nor that its organization includes the whole Demo. cratic party of the South. It is the oppo. sition to negro supremacy" " as the Demo- cratic press delight to call it, which has thrown certain sections of the South into complete anarchy. This movement is in alliance with Southern Democracy, rather than identical with it. It seeks to effect covertly and gradually under Republican national administration, what MT. Blair proposed in his Broadhead letter to accom-. plish by immediate and total revolution, in case Democratic executive had been elected. Hence. Ku Klux success in 1870. may lead to Democratic success in 1872. We cannot fairly claim that Ku Klux meth ods won all the Conservative victories of 1871 in the Southern States. They did, however, win some of them, and contribu. ted to all. It is furthermore evident, that, with the large colored majorities in South Carolina. Louisiana, and Mississippi, the Democracy can only carry those States by Kn Klux help. In that way they carried Louisiana in 1868. and in that way they are now preparing the way for carrying South Carolina and Mississippi in 1872.
 We have never overlooked the fact tha Southern Democrats have much reasonabl, ground of complaint against their recon strnctad State administrations. The north ern adventurers who went South to mak, fortunes, and the interruptions Southerz whites who joined them, have brought in Unite disgrace on Republicanism. De pending on just such an illiterate constitu ency as have made Tweed Go. supreme in New York, they have plundered popu lAtion by no means as able or willing tt submit to robbery as the property holden of that typical city. Add to this real in inry. tho fancied wrong of negro politica equality, and the social habits which accus tom the individual to redress his owl wrongs and to familiarity with the use o deadly weapons, and we have state O things which sufficiently accounts for eve rything in the way of Ku Klux outrag that has followed reconstruction. No, comes up the great question what, unde such circumstances, is the duty of the Ma tional government
