Such is the caption of an article in
a late number OF Harper's Journal Of
C'vtisatioa, % whose editor has stuck
closer to Grant than to bis brother
until this hint has been extracted
from him for the benefit of "the gov.
ernment" after 1t was compelled to
withdraw Beast Butler as a candidate
for Governor OF Massachusetts. The
editor in question for once makes some
wholesome remarks. Read them:
"There was somc very severe re.
proof IN Ex-Governor BuIIock's ad.
dress at Worchester-all tho more SO.
we're because it was couched in
such moderate language. Nothing
could be more courteous than his lin.

tion. Probably it was not the finan.
cial irregularities of certain Republi-
can leaders which stirred up the little
Massachusetts revolt, so much as the
corrupt use of the patrongo and au.
tbority of the Administration recently
exorted to fasten upon tho party a
candidate who must disgrace It. Mas.

B. GOODLANDER,
The Late Election.

Another annual election is over
= The result is not quite as we desired
an our own State, but "out West" th,
Democrats have done nobly. Mack
ey, the Radical nominee for Stat,
Treasurer, is elected by about 25,00(
majority, and Gordon, for Supreme
Judge, by 10000. The latter ran Is,
600 behind his ticke: in Philadelphia
or Judge Ludlow, our nominee, ran
much ahead of his ticket, just as you
please. The vote was small, but the
result throughout the State is deci-
dedly and most substantially in favor
of the Democrats.
The result in our county is about
what we looked Tor, although we did
our 'level best" for tho straight out
ticket, and as journalist we have no
regrets upon that point.
The putting Of two Democratic
tickets in the 6eld greatly elated some
of the leaders in the opposition party,
and is directly chargeable to those
who for six years past have been prac-
ticing frauds at our primary elections.
No section, or candidate or their
friends,are wholly clear of this charge,
and the election of two of our candi-
dates and two of the Independents,
without giving pledge to our adver-
saries, or even a nod, should be a final
settlement of the past, and let us act
in concert in the future.
Besides, a change has been made in
our mode of nominating candidates,
and it now becomes the duty of every
Democrat in the county to ego and
sin no more" and, in addition, buckle
on his armor and in the future labor
for the common good of the party
In this way all rings and factions will
be compelled to disband, and be made
available for the interest of the party
instead of some particular candidate,
faction or locality.

CAPITAL QUESTION The people oi
Connecticut, at their annual town
elections on Monday, voted upon the
Constitutional amendment making
Hartford the sole Capital, and gave a
large majority in its favor. The Hart
ford Eceaing Post estimates it at 5000.
This ends protractcd and bitter local
struggle between Hartford and New
Haven which has cost both cities
thousands Of dollars each year since
it began, and has cngendcrcd moro i'll
will and bad blood than can be eradi.
Gated in a generation. During its
progress both cities have been thor
oughly given up to local Jealousy; tho
feud between them has entered into
their politics and their social relations,
and their newspapers have brlstlcd
toward each other with constantly in.
crcasing animosity. The next Lcgis-
lature will meet ut New Haven, as
usual after that tho Capitol ut New
Haven will DO permanently discon.
tinued, and Hartford will be tho solo
Capital.
