Unhappy France.

No mind mighty enough to control the
tide Of affairs and grapplc with the demon
Of destruction in unhappy France has yet
arisen. Out Of devastating war with
foreign foe, she hassplunged into fra
tricidal struggle that promises nothing
but human misery and woo-a whirl-
pool Of passion, spending its fury upon
itself The attempt 10 establish . repub.
lic has served only to iuaugurato q war,
the object and end Of which, the leaders
themselves cannot foreseo. It Was hoped
that France might escape this sad fate
that some statesman equal to the cmer'
Gency might arise --some mind thai
could mould the popular will. turn the
attention Of the people from war to their
vineyards once moro, and that though
she might not be as proud as Of yore. Of
Weld such power among her nsighbors
she might at least Be happy.
But no such guardian spirit hoverl
over that joyless land. Ruin frown'
from not distant future, and the worlt
looks on with pity. From many hear
goes forth the prayer, "God save IN
happy France"

Who is Governor Of Connecticut

Last week We gave the telegraph re-
ports of the Connecticut election, which
foreshadowed tho re election of Gov.
English, Democrat, although the Leg
islatute was Republican. But bis major
ity Of l24, instead Of increasing, as was
anticipated, has dwiDdlcd down to only
fve, according to later intelligence; and
giving him the benefit Of all dosbts as to
discrepancies in the count, he cannot have
moro than ten or fifteen votes, which the
scattering votes will overcome and send
the election to the Legislature. Under
these circumstances the nutmeg state is
likely to lose its Democratic governor.
"True, It's pity, and pity it's lis true"
But this cannot be accounted an ap.
proval Of Grants Dominican schme and
the war-declaring power he has assumed,
for the Republicans Of that state we're
avowedlY opposed to his policy in this
matter, and it was only through telegraph.
ing to tho leaders that he had abandone d
it that the election went in favor of the
Republicans. OF course Grant will
abandon his Dominican schcme-until he
can enforce it with less risk to his own
political aspirations.
