CONNECUCUT.

The Democratic State Convention which
meets at Hartford, tomorrow, for the nOmi-
nation of State officers for the April election,
will conclude the prelimiDaries, and both
parties will be fairly set in the field. Two or
three causes combine to give the Democrats
unusual hope Of carrying the State, and this
hone has made the discussion of candidates
quite interesting. There is a general impress
sion that the Credit Mobilier Investigations
will affect unfavorably the Republican
vote. The new candidate for Governor,
Mr.. Henry p. Haven Of New-London,
is not so well known or so popular
as Gov. Jewell, the present incumbent, nor
will he make so liberal expenditures of money
in the canvass, and there is very deep
seated disaffection among the Republicans in
New Haven County at the manner in which
the nomination was brought about. In view
of these circumstances the Democrats propose to
make strong nominations, act prudently, and
make bold push for the State. A number of
candidates for Governor have been brought
forward in the newspapers, but declnations
have thinned out the list until the pres
ent outlook is that Mr.. Charles r. Inger-
soil of New-Haven will be nominated with
Uttle OF no OppOblJlOH'
The Republican ticket is composed of men
of unexceptionabe character, who, if elected
will no doubt discharge the duties of their
positions faithfully and honestly. 1t will be
for the Democrats, if they hope to succeed, to
nominate ticket that shall be equally unex-
ceptonable in point of character and ability
The Republican platform is tumble of weak
resolutions, with no force and very little
meaning. 1t will be for the Democrats if
they are wise, to take advantage of this
weakness in their opponents, and go to
the people with a platform that has mean
ing and sense; that will suggest prac-
teal things instead of airing loose
rhetoric. Into the mere matter of
electing State officers and Legislature, ques-
tons of national politics hardly enter. The
honest voter who desires the welfare of the
State and its good government may well lay
aside partisan politics In such case and vote
for the men who will in his opinion best ad-
minister the affairs of the Commonwealth
How far this will be done on either side is an
open question. Undoubtedly many Repub-
lcans will refuse TO vote at all, or will vote
for the Democratic candidates in disgust at
the recent revelations concerning the party in
power. On the other hand, there are perhaps
as many Democrats who. from having lost all
interest in politics. will absent themselves
from the polls.
The main issue in Connecticut. as it now
New-York tribune., 1873-02-18

indeed all their municipal ticket, until Apollo
Hall, Tammany Hall, the Liberal Republl-
cans, and tho various Reform Associations
had selected their candidates. As already the
nominee of the Committee of Seventy, the
Municipal Refomers, the German Reform or
carnations, and the Council of Political
Reform, they finally accepted Mr. Have
never and ran him avowedly as non
partisan candidate. Now, finding that the man
whom they accepted for his availability was
honest in his professions, they devise tins
Charter to get rid of him. He is given the
power to nominate partisan heads
of departments, subject to the conhrma-
ton of Board of Aldermen as partl-
san as the Custom-hOuse coterie itself.
The practical result of any nomination
which the Mayor can make-say, by way
of illustration. for Controller-will be rejec-
ton. He will then promptly nominate an
other non partisan citizen, only to be rejected
by the Board, for the Aldermanic Ring VIII
confirm no man it cannot control ; one such IN
the Mayors chair has been enough TO disgust
the Ring. When the Mayors list of nominees,
or the twenty days allowed by the Charter IN
which TO nominate and confirm, have expired,
the Mayor will be reduced to the level of an
Alderman, having q single vote and no power
to nominate. He will then be required to meet
with the Board, and, powerless to prevent, Will
be cOmpeledtO witness the selection OF some one
drawn from that class of bitter partlsans whom
he was elected to oppose and keep out OF place.
The heads of departments thus elected over
the Mayors vote by bare majority, can De
removed only by a two-thirds vote upon
written charges preferred by the Mayor AS
these heads of departments, thus independent
of the Mayor, are uncontrolled in the ap..
pointment and removal of their thousands OF
subordinates, it will be seen how powerless
the Mayer will be to oppose the schemes OF
the politicians or to protect the interests OF
the people,

NEW-JERSEYS STRUGGLE.

Jerseymen will do well to look to their
Legislature. The struggle now in progress
is one of lively and national interest, and, last
night it assumed an aspect, in the one cham
Der, of prompt Difference to the public will,
and, in the other, of tsulen defiance AS
all roads lead to Rome, so all rail-
road traffic from any point west of
the Hudson and south of the Mohawk rivers
must cross the soil of New-Jersey to reach
this city. The Waterfront of Jersey City is
the terminus of nine-tenths of the railroad
network of the continent, west of New-Eng-
land. In this our neighbOr State has vast
advantage which is rightfully her own, but
she must accept with it the responsibilities
and duties of wealth and power.i
Under the old monopoly, the whole railroad
system of New-Jersey, lying south of a
straight line drawn from the Hudson to the
Delaware at Trenton, fell into the hands of
the Camden and AmbOy, or was constructed
by that corporation. 1t can be said for the
monopoly that it built and equipped many
roads in South jersey which were purely local
ain their bene2ts, and that its contract was as
binding on the State as on the cOrporators
The latter never allowed a lapse to occur in
afforded pretext to the State which would
allow it to terminate the venerable bargain
until it expired by limitation, two years ago.
Then came in the greatest of all mOnopo-
lies, one relying not on the pledged faith of a
State, but on its power of purchase. The
Pennsylvania Central bought all the fran
chises of the united companies and
seems to claim that it holds also the
expired privilege of a monopoly of the
through travel. Any project to cross
New-Jersey by ianother line is as stub
bornly contested by the Pennsylvania as if it
had inherited the monopoly itself. But both
the people and the Legislature look with colder
eyes upon. a foreign corporation than upon
Camden and Amboy, which was all the more
a pet child because it aud the State were so
denounced on the opposite shores of the Hud-
son and the Delaware. The votes in the
Legislature last week show that tho Pennsy-
yaDia has nothing like the grip upon the con-
New-York tribune., 1873-02-18

appears, will be of q local character, the he
publcans having divided upon the question
whether the New-Haven or the Hartford poll
ticians shall rule the party and name the can
didates and the Democrats being about 10
take advantage of the feud by nominating
candidate for Governor who will draw votes
from the dissatisfied faction. Four members
of Congress are to be elected, but the interest
of the canvass will be centered in the guDer-
Material contest, and it is not likely there VIII
be any change in the delegation, except IN the
lid District where Mr.. Kellogg will possibly
be defeated if the Democrats agree upon
candidate.
There are Liberal Republicans enough IN
the State to hold balance OF power. Ihey
have taken no concerted action, though III
MANY of the towns the Democrats have divided
their delegations with them, and there VIII
doubtless be considerable sprinkling OF them
in the State Convention. Nothing has occur
red since November to strengthen their bellet
in the administration party, or to induce them
to return to their old allegiance, and there Is
a much stronger likelihood of their voting
against than for the regular Republican
ticket. Very little interest i'll the result IL
manifested outside of the State, and except
for the local and personal quarrels, there
would be very little stir about it except among
the professional politicians in the State. IL
will be very safe thing to do to wait I'LL
the tickets are all nominated and then make
discriminating selections from both or all. One
of the things to be desired is cessation OIL the
intensity and bitterness of our partisan con-
tests. good way to bring it about is TO
scratch tickets judciOusly.

that their report will be made in the House

indicate what that report will be; it will pre-
sent two members for expulsion, and leave
the House to fight out the rest of the affair as
best it may. 1t has evidently been a matter
