Democracy splendidly Triumphant in
Connecticut.

'C0nnectlcut.
Democracy starts up in Connecticut
like young giant refreshed In the elec-
ton which came off in this State last
week, Ingersoll, the Democrat, was tri-
un,phant by clear majority of 5000 to
$500. At the last election before this, the
Republican majority was 4,2lS. Of this
gratifying manifestation Of Democratic
strength and virtue, the New York World
speaks as follows:
It results from the fact that there. Is q
large body of the people who inherit from
their parents robust, Independent char
acter, and who, being neither ofice-seek-
ers nor parasites, do not concern them
selves with politics except to express
their convictions The fact that a gener-
al without civil capacity is followed by
the shouts of multitude, does not change
their opinion Of his character. The op
preston of the South does not seem to
them any more Just because strong
party indorses iS They will not sing
the praises OF. lying papsr money, bay"
ing seen the advantages OF gold and Sill
yer. They cannot be convinced that 81
government which raises nearly four
hundred millions 9 year in taxes Is as
good and Economical az one that used to
false only sixty millions. They refuse
to- glorify great national debt and con.
slider it blessing. They. see no advan.
tage in paying double prices for every
thing they cal, drink, and wear. Max.
ing slow gains TN property by'hard labor
and economy. they do not. believe that
the colossal fortunes suddenly. gained by
nhstsrts In and out Of, office are honestly
acquired. They have sufficient self poise
and steadi:.ess of character to see things
as thsy are, IN the Zig bit Of common SENSE,
and go they are not tossed about by eve-
ry wind Of political doctrine.
And in speaking hopefully and conf
IDENTIFY Of the future of the Democratic
party, the World winds up by asying;
But our path to victory will never lie
In arg other direction than q straight

dition of Alfred b. Cheithain, who has re-
Gently given evidences of great mental

COMPLETION OF THE SEvENTH-STREET CHRIse
TIAS CHURCH.-Thc formal dedication of the
Seventh Street Christian church takes place
on Sunday morning at II o'clock. The main
audience-room of the church has already
been used on several baptiSinal occasions,
but not TOR preaching or any other church
service than that stated. \ sketch of the
edificc-which il, ny the way, second TO
none in the South in point Of beauty-has
already been published. and need not he
again repeated mt this time. ItS cost
amounts to about $4,000.
The present congregation of the Seventh
street Christian church, or representatives
of the same, seeded from the First Baptist
church in this city in March, 1882, and in
the fall of that year sycamore church. on
Eleventh street between Broad and Mar
shall, which IS now occupied as the law
library OF the State, and 10y the Supreme
Court Of Appeals when in session, was
erected. The congregation then numbered
about >iXty-eight. and was under the pas
tornl care of David :. Burnett. His success
sors were: Reys. Peter Ainslie, John
Thomas, james Henshaw, r. l.. Coleman,
". j. Pettigrew, w. Fl. Hopson. Thomas
\. Arnold, John \. Dearborn, and Rev.
Joseph Il. Tyler, who is the present ofiic-
atin% minister of Inc church.
In June, 1870, the State Of Virginia pur-
chased the Sycamore church. which WAS 50
named because it was built in Il grove OF
sycamore trees, and caused it to be arranged
for the Supreme Court of Appeals and for
the aw-library of the State. After the sale
the congregation wor>hiped for time in
the Univer>alist church.
In April, 1871. the first stone was laid for
the present handsome building, which is
made Of Richmond granite. On the second
sunday in July last the basement Of the
church WAS completed, and has been used by
the congregation (Which now numbers
about five hundred and fiy) ever since.
Rev. Il. i. Tyler, of Frankfort, Ky. will
assist in the dedication >cryicr>, which will
doubtless hc very interesting, and H. will
preach during the week
At noon to-day. hy special invitation. a
number OF persons will visit and examine
ihc edifirr, accompanied hy the pastor. build
i,l~ committee, and officers of thr church.
Not the lcat by fur Of the many interesting
incidents connected with The buidin" and
iitlng up o; this place of Worship is the fact
that the ladies OF the congregation have
themselves made all the cushions for the
pews and cllaucel, thereby saving an expense
of more than 1900. For this very great and
difficult task, which has been so cheerlllly,
beautifully, and tastefully accomplished, they
are deserving of the highest praise.
In conclusion it mly be remarked that
since ir. Tyler has been the pastor there
have Eccn eighty additions To the church.
