The Connecticut Republican State COnven.
tion and the Successor of senator Ferry.
From the Albany Journal (republicanl Jan. 25.l
There was one significant feature OF the COnven-
ton and its accompanying proceedings. The next
Legislature OF Connecticut Is TO choose United
States Senator In place OF Senator Ferry. Mr. Ferry
Is a candidate Tor reelection, and General Hawley
is mentioned as competitor. Both had warm
friends at the Convention. and the subject was
freely canvassed IN the preliminary caucus Mr..
Ferry has acted to a considerable extent-and
notably In the recent contests in the Senate-wlth
those Senators who are adverse to General Grant.
But while he had his partisans IN the Convention
none OF them indicated any opposition to the Presi
dent or TO his denomination, but, on the contrary,
cordially sustained bOLn. We do not know That
Senator Ferry Is himself adverse the administra
ton, though he Is understood to he not very
friendly. But the fact IS significant that, though
elements OF the party may be friendly to represent
talve leader who occupies an equiv0cal attitude,
n snl foi tnrl IN Atr nj
President And the same tning is as true OF other
States as OF Connecticut.

KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE.

Keep it before the people, That, under =
Democratic State Government, railroads
in Tennessee, that cost the State S16,S54,
coo, have been disposed of, some at private
sale without notice, for Sc, 200,500, making
net loss to the tax payers of 1868 500.
Keep it before the people, That law
providing for the sale of these roads,
passed by.a Democratic Legislature, pro-
vided that State bonds of all issues should
be taken in payment therefor.
Keep it before the people, That, for the
accommodation of parties who desired to
buy these roads at the lowest minimum val
ue, such value in many instances being as
certained by the evidence of interested per-
sons, the State tax was reduced to 20 cents
on each one hundred dollars of taxable
property, for the purpose of depreciating
the value of State bonds, and allowing the
railroad rings" to purchase them at low
figures and grow richer at the expense
of the credit of the State.
Keep it before the people, That Demo
cratic State Leg islatures, controlled by cor
rupt lobbyists, have legislated invariably
in the interest of rings" and that, when
the purposes of these rings have been eX-
posed, their acts have been ratified,
Notwithstanding such exposure.
Keep it before the people, That these
rings are again asking further lease of
power by the election of a Democratic Gov
erner and members of the Legislature, in
order that they may continue their schemes
for public plumber, and become rich while
the people grow poor.

East Tennessee Notes.

Garter C0unty.-Some New York and Phil
adelphia capitalists have contracts for 100000
acres of mineral lands in Carter county. They
propose putting up works for the manufacture
of steel.
Washington C0m.ty.-The Jonesboro' Flag is
ventilating some medical swindlers who have
been victimizing some of its correspondents.
Greene County.-The Greeneville Neao Era is
much improved in appearance. Its last issue is
on the patent outside plan, but that is no dis
credit.
Greencville is troubled with surplus of
dogs.
Serier Cou,ty-From our regular correspon-
dent we learn that Capt. nj. l.. Mcconnell, of
Blount county, was nominated for the State
Senate. The convention to nominate Floater
for Sewer and Cooke failed to agree, and the
race is still open. The people are manfesting
much interest in the approaching fair.
Jefferson County.-A correspondent at New
Market writes as follows: lit was my good
fortune to be present at the semi-annual meet
ing of the Sabbath School Convention for lief
farso,, county, which, was held at Wesley
Chapel, five miles south of this village, OH Fri
day and Saturday, 9th and 7th insts. 1t is quite
refreshing to an inhabitant of a village to get
out occasionally to the country and meet the
warm reception of the people of the rural dis
tricts who know how to meet, greet and feed
you. You can not, Mr.. Editor, fully realize
the good effect upon.the system, the man, the
mind, until you make few such excursions
and partake of their Inequalities. The crowd
we met at this poipt appear to be such as Paul
in his epistles alluded to as given to hosptali
ty." The second days proceedings were val
red by the exercises of the Sabbath SCHOOL, nj
versity" A large number of visitors of the
were present and the receptions of the Sabbath
School scholars were very interesting to those
who love the Sabbath School work. After the
exercises Of the school had closed the citizens
who bad brought many baskets laden with the
good things of earth well served up for the oc
casion, distributed them until all were fed. At
ter the dinner was served and all were in good
humor the audience were addressed by Mr.. A.
Mathes, Mr.. G. Jones, II. L Dick and Rev, l..
Il. James. The convention then adjourned to
meet at Mount Horeb Church at the call of the
Executive Committee.
AS in Union there is strength, we look for
much good to be accomplished at Wesley
Chapel 1t is union of three churches and the
the result is noble new church edifce, 6Ox40
feet, plain, neat frame building, doing credit to
the united efforts of and earnest working peo-
pie. IL. 7. d.
