THE NEXT ELECTION.

CONNECTICUT holds her election next Monday,
and all appearances forecast Republican tri-
umph The activity, energy, enthusiasm, so
far as these are apparent, are all on that side.
We Judge that four times as many meetings
have been held by Republicans as by Demo-
Gratis, and that many of the ablest and most
effective speakers in the country have can
vassed the State in behalf of the Republican
ticket, while comparatively few have spoken
on the other side. Unless there is an under
current whereof there are no surface indica-
tions, Gov. Jewell and his associates will be
elected by the People, with Legislature
Republican in both branches by decided
majorities. Under these aspects, The Times
wishes that The TRIBUNE would "give the
Republicans in Connecticut hearty sup
"port," and especially that it would "contrive
"to say few good words about Gov.
"Jewell."
Gov. Jewell never needed our good word
that he did not have it, and we think it will
90 further with the people of Connecticut when
they see that we do not hesitate to do justice
also to the ability and worth of his cOmpet-
itor, the Hon. Richard D. Hubbard Each of
these candidates honors his party, and which
ever of them is elected will serve with advan-
tage to the State and credit to himself. Re-
publicans will vote for Gov. Jewell, Democrats
for Mr.. Hubbard, as is right. Disparagement
of either will only operate to the damage of
the party that countenances the attack.
We recently met many leading Republicans
during a casual visit to Hartford and were
assured by them that they deprecated the
efforts simultaneously made by The Times and
The World to ALLEVIATE the anti Grant Repub-
licans from the support of the Republican
ticket. They stated truly that they had said
or done nothing to justify this alienation
that their delegates to the National Conven-
ton were wholly unpledged, and free to do
whatever should, at the decisive moment, ap-
pear to be most advisable, and that they were
neither able nor willing to do without the
support of those Republicans who were Op-
posed to Gen. Grants denomination. One of
them assured us that he should write to The
Times to demonstrate against its course on
this point. They had taken their own posi-
ton deliberately-it was one of unequivocal
toleration-and they protested against the
intermeddling of outsiders to change or mis-
represent it. Such we believe to be the gen.
eral sentiment of the Republicans of that
State-such the spirit In which they conf
IDENTITY expect to triumph.

The Miners Journal mistakenly asserts that
"THE TRIBUNE is reluctantly compelled to
"admit the largely increased Republican gains
in New-York in the Spring city and town
"ship elections."-That is wrong in many
respects; for 1. THE TRIBUNE always
publishes the results of elections exactly as
they are, and never tells the truth with
reluctance; and 3. The Republican gains in
our Spring elections are gains on the vote of
last Spring, when the State was unquestion-
ably DemOcratic,-,Ot on the vote of
last Fail, when it went Republican very
much more decidedly than this Spring
We have not figured closely, but at least fifty
more townships went Republican last Fall

Mr.. VIM. Orton, in his testimony before the
Senate Committee yesterday, incidentally
stated two facts which are suggestive
as to the condition of the Civil Ser
vice. Government clerks, he said, are paid
more, in proportion to their labors, than pri-
vate employees, because they must pay politl-
cal assessments; also, their places are not so
desirable as those of ordinary business men,
because they are insecure. Here is the great
vice of the present system of making and con-
tinuing appointments in the public service ::
the public money is held out as an induce
ment to the employe, but is diverted to the
political campaign; the appointee is not sure
of his place from day to day, and has no in
centive to be honest and industrious. When
clerks and other subordinates are sure OF their
pay, and sure of keeping their places during
a certain long term-if they do not misbehave
there will be real reform in the Civil Ser
vice all others are fraudulent.
New-York tribune., 1872-03-29

Accounts from Mexico are vague and contra
dictory; but Gen. McCook, serving on our
own frontier, furnishes the War Department
an opinion which is highly unfavorable to
the Juarist cause. Some allowance, possibly,
should be made for hostile bias; and the
hope that the case is not so bad as Gen.
McCook puts it, will be generally entertained
in this country.
New-York tribune., 1872-03-29

Some second thoughts and stray facts about
the late English Thanksgiving, given by
London correspondent of THE TRIBUNE. will
be found entertaining. The writer has taken
practical view of the whole case which is
Characteristic, we may say, of the people of
London as well.
New-York tribune., 1872-03-29

The Marquis de Chambrun, yesterday, gave
curious glimpse into the interior workings
of the War Department, in his testimony
before the Senate Committee on French Arms
Sales. 1t looks as if some officers of the Gov
ernment were anxious to have NJ. Place con-
victed and all of the business which he handled
in this country judicially and judciously
hushed up. The story of the Marquis COM
plicates the mystery.

New-York tribune., 1872-03-29

Citizens of Texas are in Washington en-
deavoring to secure the Intervention OF the
Government to put an end to the irregulan-
ties which prevail on the Mexican border.
Their complaints are reasonable and just
though it is quite possible that the Mexlcans
have sometimes suffered from reprisals on the
part of our own lawless citizens. But 1t is
notorious that something very like guerrilla
warfare exists on the boundary line between
Texas and Mexico, in which the Mexicans are
chiefly aggressors. We have silently suffered
from Mexico many injuries which we would
not have taken without instant resentment
from stronger nation. We sympathize with
the unfortunate Republic, struggling with IN
ternal diss ensions; but the time has certainly
come for the United States Government firmly
to insist that the Mexican Government shall
maintain an efficient police system on the Rc
| Grande and be responsible for these repeated
| breaches of international law.

OUP pdUPFR CANALS,

The last Report of the Auditor of the Canal
Department of our State embodies these
startling facts:
Four OF the lateral Canals show the following results
New-York tribune., 1872-03-29

That is to say: beside paying the interest
On the cost of these Canals, our people must
be taxed more than Nine Hundred Thousand
Dollars per annum to keep them in operatlon'
though they are practically unused!
This might be borne if they had just been
finished, and their commerce were rapidly In
creasing but, in fact, it is steadily declining.
Iook ut this disseminating contrast
New-York tribune., 1872-03-29
hat is to be said to that?

What IS to Dc SAID 10 mat!
Of course, the people are told that the
Democrats were in power last year, and that
their Canal expenditure was lavish and prodi-
Gal. We believe that is so. They will be
further told that, the Republicans having since
come in, signal frugality and integrity will
characterize this years administration; and
this, let us hope. will prove true.
But, let the very best be done with them that
can be, and these Canals cannot be kept in
order at cost of less than Half Million
Dollars per annum, while their total income
cannot exceed $5O,OOO. How long will the
people choose to pay the difference to keep
Canals going on which next to nothing is
carriedf

Mr.. Brown, street cleaning contractor, mas
been greatly inquired for, but until Leglsla-
tive investigation compelled him, he has not
been heard of. His confessions before the
Committee, yesterday, will be found damaging
we trust, to his contract, which he has repeat
edly and habtually violated. He says that he
did not remove ice and snow from the cross
walks, though his contract required 1t; ne
dumped filth on vacant lots in violation OF
law, and charged people for removing ashes
in spite of his contract. His denial OF the
charge that he had divided his pay with point
ical partners is comically cOntroverted by his
admission that he has paid heavy political
assessments, which is only another way OF
putting the same thing

Gov. Joel Parker of New-Jersey has disap-
pointed his friends. He has signed the Cen
trail Railroad bill, which withholds 100000 per
annum from the State Treasury. The passage
of this bill was, as THE TRIBUNE showed yes
terday, part of bargain which involves the
defeat of the New-York and Philadelphia Rail
road. That bill has already been beaten Dy
the Legislature, and the Governor was unw',-
ling to interpose his veto to break the colnoi-
nation, as he might have done with the Zen
tral Railroad bill. The scene in the New-Jer-
sey Senate. when the New-YOrk and Pmladei-
mia Railroad bill was defeated, was disgraceiui'
New-York tribune., 1872-03-29

After long struggle, the Senate has. so far
as its action goes, repealed the income tax
already accrued, provided for repeal of Inter
nal Revenue taxes after July next, abolished
the duty on tea and coffee, and reduced the
duties ten per cent on a number of important
articles This action is calculated to upset the
tariff and, to some extent, to derange the
business of the country, though the promised
repeal of Internal Revenue taxes will be hailed
rs a boon. What the House is to do with
this bill must be done quickly, if the country
is TO be relieved.

The Charter made considerable progress in
the Senate, yesterday, and that body seems to
have gotten safely over the rocks which it
was expected would be found in the Depart
sments of Finance and Public Works. The
retention of Commissioner Van Mort viii be
received with general satisfaction, as he
has large share of public con-
hdence in his abilities and integrity.
The Finance Department naturally caused the
Senate much anxious labor and debate, and
the result, which leaves Controller Green in
Office, will satisfy many excellent citizens.

In the foreign correspondence of THE
TRIBUNE, published to-day, letter from our
regular correspondent in London gives good
indication of the condition of public sentiment
on existing political complications. 1t
seems that the English people, cool
ing from their excitement at our temer-
ity, have become little nervous
as to the way in which their vaporings would
be received on this side the Atlantic. Another
correspondent, writing from London, furnishes
an interesting paper in which some of the
personal traits of the dead Italian patriot
Mazzini are portrayed.

FATAL RIDE ON A HAND oAR-DEATH by INCHES.
The Denton Union relates the following ter
rible casualty:
terrible and fatal accident occurred to Mrs.
Annie l. Price residing on the Maryland aud
Delaware railroad between Ridgeley and Hills
borough on the Sd inst. Mrs Price had been
to the store at Ridgeley to make some purchases
aud had started for home Passing down the
railroad. she was oyertaken by the hands en-
ployed on tile road with hand car They de-
sired her to get on the car TO ride bnt she at fret
refused to do 20. After some solicitation she
was induced to ride, and after the car was put
in motion her hoops caught in the wheels OF
around the car axle ana cut the flesh from
above both knees down almost to the ankles,
clearing to the bone aud tearing OF one of the
knee caps. She was taken 20 her home, ply
sican sent for, but modification set in, and
death ended her sufferings on the 9th inst
