ture would be compelled, in spite Of political prefer
ences, to declare Gov English elected, should 1t be lis
good fortune to have q majority. Only by failure Of
both candidates to receive majority can the Legislature
make a partisan election. But, the other hand, ii
protest is entered by Gov. Jewell as to bring up

q wrong count for English in Enfield, enough to olet
the otherwise reported majority for him, the election OF
Jewell would follow the facts. 1t Is probable that
the Democratic members of the Legislature would, in

TIE ELECTION SATISFACTORY TO THE REPUBLI-
CANs-THE SECOND CONGREss DISTRICT
WHY KELLOGG WAS ELECTED.
NEw-HAvEN, April 6.-The result of the
election In Connecticut is under all the circumstances
perfectly satisfactory to the Republicans here, and, we
Judge equally so TO friends In other States The
Democrats were confident OF rejecting Gov Engsh ny
900 majority or more. The result Of the New-Hamp
shire election infused vgor into the Republicans
and tbenceforth the work was done with zeal and a
tnorougness rarely ever displayed before by the party
In this State.
The result in this Congress district is peculiarly graf
ifypg In q former letter 1 predicted that Kellogg
would yin and that Kendrick would loose heavily in
New.Hayen Tho result has made my prediction good,
for While English has 15ie pojority in this city, Ken
drick has only $40. Gen. Kellogg has proved himself
FAITHFUL representative and has done good service Tor
this district Yet he would not have received apy Dep-
ocratc votes but for the unpopularty OF tho candidate
against him His opponent pushed his claims with such
An audacity as to shock even the sensibes Of some Of
his party, who not easily made to blush.
Ii is a mistake to suppose that the KnoYNothing
question entered into the contest to any extent al
though Kendrick was active member 5t the order,
while neither Col. BabcOck nor Gen. Kellogg

was for a time connected with what was called the
American party, which know Kellogg and Babcock
and Senator Ferry dill to break up than any other
three men in the State At this election the Roman
Catholic and naurazed vote generally went strong for
Kendrick and about the same for Dabcock two years
AGO the defeat Of Babcock at that time was owing
almost entirely TO the unwearied efforts Of Kendrck
who wanted the nomination them ami he killed Off Bah
cock TO make for himself at this time And then,
by dsreputabe means as alleged he defeated C. r. In

the time Is coming and sOon when only men Of ability
and integrity will receive the suages OF their fellow
citizens and when all parties will learn that their best
