 The name of John $. Turrill has been mentioned as candidate for the nomina. tlon for Senator in the 18th Dist. Unless the present popular Senator is to run again, the Republicans in this part of the Dis trict would prefer Mr. Turrill to any other person, and will undoubtedly present his name to the Convention.

7th. That we object to railroad land grants. The National Democratic Conven- ton of 1860 passed the following resolu- tion:
 That one of the necessitie of the age, in mil | itary, commercial and postal point of view is speedy communication between the Atlantic and such constitutional government aid as will ensure construction of 8 railroad to the Pacific coast al the earliest practicable period.
 The Republicans made similar promises of assistance. though not in such unquali. fed terms. Both parties were therefore committed to the principle of government. al assistance to the Pacific railroad and its necessary branches. The war interfered for time. Several Pacific railroad pro. iects were started and failed, till finally the Union and the Central Pacific companies undertook and accomplished the greatest public enterprise of our time and country. The governments grants of assistance were generous, and we imagine the venture has enriched many concerned with it; but those railroads and their branches are worth in- finitely more to the country than they have cost it. Assistance by way of land grant is the least burdensome style of help Con- gress can give great national enterprises. In the past we are inclined to believe that in some instances such assistance has bean too freely granted; but the course of legis- lation is now the other way. Even the re- newal of such grants is now sternly oppos- ed, as was the case in the House on Thurs day last. when all the Republican represen- tatives in this State opposed such renew al, while Mir. Barnum, of this District, was present and refused to vote either way.
 Republicans as we'll as Democrats are re- joiced to learn that our State debt has been reduced half million within the past year. But to impute the saving. to our Democratic executive rather than to our Republican legislature is simply absurd. Moreover, why is Connecticut commended for taxing its citizens to pay the principal of its debt, while Congress i, denounced for doing precisely the same thing for pay ment of the National debt?
 To the proposition that free schools and general education are essential to good government and the perpetuation of free institutions" we heartily assent That resolution is a just rebnke to the Demo. cratic members of our legislature, who, un. der the lead of the Hon. John Cotton Smith, undertook to upset our free school system. last. summer We wish the De- mocracy in Congress and elsewhere, espec ially at the South, were of the same opin- ion.

TO CORRESPONDENTS


 Nearly year since, we made propositions foi regular and occasional correspondence, which met with ready response, adding much to the vaIae of our paper, and laying us under personal obligation to the gentlemen rendering us such assistance. We are thereby encouraged to renew Oar propositions, hoping that the good example already set will be generally followed, and that the local news of all parts of the County will be faIly reported in our paper.
 Our propositions to regular and occasional cor respondents from any part of Litchfeld County, are as SOllows:
 I. On publication of any communication we will forward sic extya copies of the EN- QUEER containing the same, to the address of the person sending it to us. or to any residents of the county such person may designate. Correspondents muss advise ms, at the time of sending communications, of the number of copies desired, and to whom they are to be sent. q Local items from reliable sources, in any part of the county, will be received eifh pleasure, but we are particularly de- ssrOus of increasing our list of regular correspondents. To each of these, or to such person as he or she may designate, we will send copy of our paper regularly in addition to the extra copies mentioned above.
 REQUIREMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS.
 Anonymous eommunications cannot expect publication.
 The names of correspondents will be kept strictly secret, if desired.
 Communications of personal nature will no be published, unless the propriety of such pub- EcafiOn Is manifest.
 Manuscript should be written only on one side Of the paper.
 Regular correspondents can avoid all danger of having tho contributions of others attributed to them by assuming some signature, a single let ter being sufficient.
 h case of two communications relating to the same event, the fullest will usually be published. Hence communications never come amiss. even from places where we have regular correspon- dents, since they often give valuable additional information.
 A simple statement of facts is all that is neces- saEy. and hastily written communications will be corrected before publication.

The Cattle Disease.

Governor English having appointed tho following gentlemen commission to fur nish the people of the State tue necessary information for the treatment and proven ton of the Cattle Disease, they have is sued the following Circular i've pub lished the published the proclamation witt which it commences, last week.:
 l Receiving the foregoing appointment rom the Governor, we request that imme. diate notice may be sent to us of the exis. tence of the Cattle Disease, in any local. ity, where it may prevail.
 The Statute provides for organizing g BOARD OF HEALTH, to prevent the spread of contagious diseases. Wherever this disease now exists, or may appear, the To- cal authorities are invited to organize ac. cording to these provisions. SYMPTOMS: Sore mouth, with excessive slabbering. or drooling; blisters appearing | on the tongue and nose; the animal refuses food and throws out the half. .chewed cud. smacking the lips and thrusting out the l tongue; general stiffness or soreness of the whole body; watery blisters appear about | the heels and skin near the hoofs, after wards exuding viscid and fetid matter; the milk suddenly diminishes or ceases al together, and should in no Case be used. Later in the progress of the disease, the skin of the tongue. mouth and nose. peels off.
 The PERIOD of INCUBATION, or time from exposure to the breaking out of the dis ease, Is usually from four to six days-in rare cases. perhaps, extending to two weeks.
 TREATMENT consists in palliative meas ures. Bran mash, or gruel, may be ad- ministered through horn to support the strength. Chlorate of potash, one half ounce daily, or about one tablespoonful. has proved beneficial in the early stages Provide salt, which will be eaten freely when the mouth is not too sore. A weak solution of sulphate of zinc form good wash for the mouth and feet. Carbolic acid or the fumes of sulphur should be used as disinfectants in the yards and stalls. Sheep are quite liable to the dis ease, and other animals; and even men have suffered from it. The disease called ..Foot and Mouth Disease" or EPIzooT1c APrHA, is very con- tagious from it's first appearance. The sa- iva, excrements, >loughing cuticle and ex uding matter, will all convey the conta- zion. Hence, the greatest care should be taken to maintain perfect isolation of in, fected herds. With proper attention We may hope speedily to rid the State of this scourge which now threatens us, and all citizens are called upon to co operate with Us in our attempts to secure this result.
