Gpsuing State Suarnal.

THE Republicans OF Connecticut have
renominated Governor Jewell and the en-
tire Republican State ticket of last year,
and elected delegates to the Republican
National convention in favor of the renom-
nation of President Grant. The resolu-
tions passed by the State convention in
dorso the policy of the national administra-
ton, and especially the roofing out OF cor
ruption in office, whether the guilty parties
are Republicans or Democrats. They also
pronounce in favor Of tariff for protection.
The Democratic convention has not yet
been held, but it is understood that the party
will demand the denomination Of Governor
English, although that gentleman has given
his friends to understand that he can, I'M
der no circumstances, accept the nomina-
ton. The party claims, however, that he
was fairly elected last spring, and that
such will be the verdict Of the people
if they have the chance to vote for him
again. The State is very close, and a
change of few votes only will turn the
scale one way or another, however conf
dent either party may be of winning the
victory. ...

GEORGE WAsHINGToN.-This is a
name worthy of all reverence, but we are
sorry to say it is worn by at least one in
dividual who neither appears to appreciate
the honorable distinction which it confers
nor feels under any obligations to set good
examples to be followed by future George
Washingtons. Having been so loose in his
morals as to be sent to the city Jail and
chain-gang for term of six months, he
soon wearied of the restraints thrown
around him, and insontinently fed from his
post of duty. He was recaptured, how
ever, as we stated yesterday, and when he
was taken before Justice White this morn
ing, was remanded to Jail and daily service
for the unexpired term, and allowed nc
credit on account of his absence.

A SQUARE MEAL AND A FooT-RACE.
Yesterday afternoon three young men
entered Zetelle's restaurant, on Main
street, and after partaking of soup, beef a Ia
mode and desert, walked up to the counter,
but instead Of paying the reckoning y
coolly bade the attendant "good bye."
and left the place at race-horse speed. An
alarm was given, the scamps were pursued
by persons on the street until the crowd
numbered several hundred. The "capon-
lined" fellows were finally captured, and
were taken to the First Market station-
house,. On the route they said that
they were bankrupt" and could not
foot the bill. On their appearance in court
this morning, they declared that they were
not only unable to "foot" any bill, but
were so travel-worn that they could not
'foot" it out of town, as they had come in.
They were committed.

to sell goods by sample or representation
without license to do so. Mr.. Ogden ad-
mitted the fact charged, but pleaded igno.

ton of the city ordinance, and bailed him

SCARCITY OF BRICKS. Ks.-There is an
apprehension among the architects and
builders of this city that there will be q
scarcity of bricks during the present build
ing season. This should not be so. There
are plenty of clay lands in the vicinity
of Rockets which can now be purchased
at fair prices, from which can be taken ma
terial enough to build houses for several
small cities. The present building season
in Richmond is full of promise, and the
manufacture of bricks affords an excellent
field for capitalists.

THOMAS CoNCERT.-The musical en-
tertainment given last evening, at Assem-
bly, Hall, by Mr.. Theodore Thomas and his
admirable troupe, was one of the finest
which our lovers of music have enjoyed for
some time. Every piece was gem so far
as execution was concerned, and the play
ing of Miss Marie Krebs, on the piano,
shows her to be one of the best female
masters in the country. The second piece
played by her was perfectly exquisite in its
rendering, and thoroughly established her
reputation here among those capable of
discrimination and taste. The duett on the
flute and French horn, by Messrs. Miner
and Schmitz, was splendidly given, and
most beautifully accompanied by the more
subdued instruments of the orchestra.

programme will be offered: ...-
