THOSE CONNECTICUT GAINS.

The Greeley organs have been taking
great encouragement from the Connecticut
local elections. 1t seems from the New
Haven Palladium that there is no comfort
for them even in this. 1t says:
Official returns from the town clerks of
155 towns show that the Republicans have
carried SO, the Democrats As, and 81 have
elected mixed tickets, by far the larger
portion having majority of Republican
officers. Corrected returns give nine towns,
which were Democratic last year, as gain
ed by the Republicans, viz: Bethlehem,
Cromwell, Ledyard, Madison, Newtown,
North Haven, Sprague, Plymouth and
were Republican or mixed, are this year
Democratic, viz: Andover, Bethel, Dan
bury, Naugatuck and Wilton, There is
not an intelligent Democrat in the State
but knows that his party was never in a
feebler or more disorganized condition and
all the Dragging in the world will not per-
suade them to the contrary.
A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Times says the Democrats of Erie, Penn
sylvania, sold their torches and lumber in
their speaking stands to the Republicans
and have given up the November fight.
He has made tour of Pennsylvania since
the election and says:
1.-THE Democratic party.is scattered to the
winds, and the remnants are so complete
ly scattered, that to gather them again for
the battle will require years. Old men tell
of the wrongs inflicted on their party with
tears. They say.they have beensold, betrayed
~
and deceived. Such a termination of the
October elections has dumbfounded them.

EXCEPTIONAL.

The independent ticket now in the Pres
ldential field, and the warm support it re-
ceives from Democrats, are certainly ex-
ceptional phases in our politics, and find
their explanation in the exceptional and
dangerous crisis into which the Republic
has been rushed by reckless Radicalism.
This exceptional crisis alone justiies Dem
ocrats in supporting for President a man
who has opposed every distinctively Demo-
cratic doctrine SO bitterly and increasingly
in the past. Fortunately, Tennessee, in re-
gard to our local and State affairs, is in no
such exceptional and imminent crisis.
On the contrary, our present State
regime is so nearly perfect that
even Radicals have confessed
their great objection to it is the difficulty of
finding fault. 1t is not easy to imagine any
improvement in its personnel or its policy.
The burdens under which the State labors
are heir-looms Of Radicalism, from which
there is no promise Of escape other than foot
ing the bills. The national burdens, which
iniquitous legislation has imposed almost
exclusively on the farming class, can only
be lifted by Congressional action, and the
Democracy viii send from Tennessee a
delegation solid against al the monopolies
that are fast reducing American freemen to
the condition of European subjects. View
the subject as we may, there exists in Ten.
nessee no such exceptional crisis as calls for
disruption of the ruling party and "new
deal" Those who are so ready to rebuke
the Southern people for not '1etting vel
enough alone," in $780,, should take the
bitter lesson to heart, and ''let well enough
alone" in Tennessee to-day.

THE OBJECT OF EXTENDING THE
SESSION.

Only twenty-three Republicans in Con-
gress voted against giving Grant the power
to use the regular army to arrest and i'm
prison any citizen who might, from any
reason, become obnoxious to Grants sup
porters. This appears to have given the
cOnspirators in Congress heart, and they
have succeeded in getting the session, which
was to have adjourned on the Sd inst. ex-
tended 10 the 10th. In the meantime every
effort win be made to pass the bills which
viii enable Grant to elect himself. The
force biz before Congress, gives the Presi-
dent power to appoint, through his parti-
sans, the Judges of the United States
Circuit Court, Supervisors of Election for
every polling place in the United States, and
Deputy Marshals TO arrest and imprison any
persons whom these Supervisors may &C
cuse Of fraudulent voting. 1t overturns all
State election laws, and places Federal Off
GERS at every ballot-box. The Ku-Klux
bill authorizes the President to suspend the
habeas corpus throughout the country, and
use the army to arrest whom he pleases.
The two measures belong together. Both
are pressed by the partisans of Grant in
Congress. Both are electioneering meas
ares. Both are meant to control the people
IN November; and though the two acts are
cant mainly to secure Southern votes,
the people of the North, as when Grant
was elected, are at the mercy of Federal
military and Federal scivil officers. Only
great madness, or greater wickedness, can
prompt Congress to pass such laws.

THE war on Mr.. Greeley assumes al
most every imaginable shape. Haper'S
Weekly assails him for his "careful care
lessness" in dress, and says it is an. indica-
ton Of bis sflzrmless vanity and restless de-
sire Of nOtoriety." The Tribune makes the
following dlgnihed reply: aMr George
William Curtis who makes himself respon-
sible for the foregoing, has been accustomed
to meet Mr.. Greeley with apparent cordial
ity for the past twenty-five or thirty years.
In all that time we feel perfectly confident
that he never saw Mr.. Greeley with his
troWsers stuffed in his boots, nor dressed
otherwise than as a quiet, unassuming gen.
tleman, anxious 20 avoid notoriety and es-
cape criticism. In view Of these facts,
known to all who walk our streets and
visit our public gatherings, what can be
thought of Mr.. Curtis false assertions and
groundless insinuations

THE Kotoo is 8 court ceremony in
China, in which a suppliant crawls on his
belly to the feet Of the Emperor, and lies
there till he is told to rise. The Philadel-
phia Age says the Grant administration
has performed the Kotoo to the British
government, and it seems very slow to
make any gracious acknowledgment, Or
abridge in any way the ceremony. The
zeal of the administration to "save their
Treaty" is very great; but they are certain
ly not saving their credit. The British
government has not scrupled to show very
plainly that it suspects some fresh dodge of
chicsnery, and is weighing and scanning
every word Of the new proposal. Mean
while the Grant administration observes
the attitude prescribed in the Kotoo.

Surely our requests are moderate, and
the more so as we seek to utilize all this MAJ
chinery for the farmer, and aim 70 bring

culture and other interests OF the land; and,
without interfering with its present duties,

The signal Office or bureau was got up
last year with an appropriation of $4,000,
espe;slly for lake meteorolOgy and naylga-
ton; and TO carry it out for another year,
an appropriation of ten times that amount
is asked for and recommended by the COM
mittee in Congress. Instruct your repre-
sentatives there to adopt this plan; to 60

the agricultural bureau cooperative offices;
and then this appropriation viii have
double virtue, and be made as beneficial TO
agriculture as to commerce; and its Atlantic

The probable benefits to agriculture win
be worth quite as much as all the gains

Maury, ''bountiful with promise of good to

natures. It bids fair to afford data
If scientists have the faculty for their

vance, and with surprising accuracy, those
general changes in it which most concern
the husbandman. With the means and APP
planes which discovery and improvement
have placed at the command Of nations,
success with such pre- dictiOns seems far
more probable than in many undertakings
daily gentured upon, both by individuals
and associations. Then the benefits that
are to eAsue both to producer and consum-
er by placing them on footing with the
middlemen, as to the state of the crops,

are margins here on your side for saving
and gaining such as no plan ofphysical and

CONGRESSMAN FROM THE STATE
LARGE.


The act of Congress giving certain States
each an additional member of Congress
provides as follows:
"That from and after the third day Of
March, eighteen hundred and seventy
three, the following States shall be entitled
to one Representative each in the Congress
of the United States in addition to the num-
Der apportioned to such States by the act
entitled San act for the apportionment Of
Representatives to Congress among the sew
ersl States according to the ninth census
approved February 2, eighteen hundred and
seventy-two, to-wit: New Hampshire, Yer
mont, New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana,
Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama and Flon-
day, and be elected by separate districts, as
in said act directed; PrOUided, That in the
election of Representatives to the Forty
third Congress, only, in any State which by
this law is given an increased number OF
representatives, the additional representa-
tive allowed to such State may be elected
by the State at large, urless the Legisla-
ture of said State shall otherwites provide
before the time fixed by law for the cleo
ton of representatives therein"
Under this law Tennessee can elect the

SIT is taxed directly for the benefit of
them all, for as agriculture is the main STAY
and prop Ofthe country, all the other interests
that receive support from the government,
derive that support, first or last, from agri-
culture; and the most the government has
done for agriculture may be seen in the Az
ricultural Bureau and the land grants for
teaching agriculture and the mechanic arts.
WHAT is DONE FOR COMMERCE.
First, there is the expense of surveying
and lighting the coasts; of supporting the
consular system; the expense OF, maintaining
fleets and squadrons in all quarters of the
globe in time of peace. Heavy items, these;
and now, there is, or was, bill before
Congress for encouraging-byb ounties and
special legislation-ship building; all of
which involves pull; expenditure of some
S20,O00,000 or S30,000,000 year. And
yet, the wealth the nation gains from COM
merce is not 1.-THE of that which agricul-
culture gives it annually. The difference
in value of what is sent out and what is
brought back into the country is the wealth
that commerce gives. What agriculture
gives, is the market value of her yearly
crop.
Then there are the fishing bounties, The
annual appropriation for them would be
more than sufficient to put and keep in
operation, this plan of research. Besides
ali this, there is the signal Office which was
established entirely in the interest of com
merce. 1t aims to predict storms, and
hoists its storm signals in the shipping
ports and marts of commerce; but not in
the inland towns and agricultural CEN
tres.
Moreover, bill is now, or was pending
before Congress calling for $500, 900 for car
rying submarine cable 800 miles out to
sea, to steamer, there to be anchored, to
serve as q storm ship in connection with
this bureau. The steamer will cost quite
as much as the cable. Should this expert
ment prove satisfactory, the plan is to cur
tain the coast with like meteorological out
