Connecticut.

The Hartford Times says the Dem
ocrats and Liberals OF Connecticut
are united and that they will 60 into
the Spring contest without any SQUAD
bles over the Senatorsbip. The Dem
cratic members of the Legislature will
nominate and elect a good representa-
tive man, and with the result the peo-
pie will be satisfied. The Senatorial
quawelling is III the Grant party
and there solely.
Speaking of the "Plotform,' or re-
solutions adopted by the late Repub-
lican Convention of that State, the
Boston Post, remarks. 'But in the
attempt to construct platform that
shall meet the demands of the people
for reform and honesty in government,
the Convention produced a series of
resolutions that reads like formal
arralgnment Of its party with the &C
cusatory paragraph accidentally omit
ted. There is a notable absence OF
the laudation of Grant aud the party
that has usually formed the bulk of
Republican platforms Of late years.
On the contrary, ibis statement of
principles declares in detail, as neces-
sary to be done, exactly what Con-
gress and the President have refused
to do. That the Government has
been administored''with as little in
fingement as possible upon individual
freedom" or that public affairs have
been conducted with prudence and in
accordance with the sound and APP
proved max.ms of business and poll
tical economy" is not asserted but it
is declared that such ought to be the
case, Equally suggestive is the cheap
commentator OF the President for re =
fusinG to overturn the Government of
Texas, while the same resolution,
limiting at Louisiana, asserts that all
States should be left to regulate their
own internal affairs without interfer-
ence." The protest against initiation
and subsidies Of public lands, and the
demand for specie payments and equal
taxation and reform in the Civil
Service are also entitled to as much
credit tor sincerity as the opposing
action Of the Congressional majority
will allow.
"Weak and inconsistent as this
platform appears i'll view of the char
acter and attitude Of the party whose
opinions it assums to represent, its in
congruities are not the only obstacle
against which the Connecticut Repub-
licans must centend in the coming
campaign"

SPIRIT OF THE AGE
Thursday Feb. 26, 1874.

Town Meetings in Vermont next
Tuesday. Let the best men be elected
for officers Of their respective towns
for the year ensuing, without regard
to politics. Raise all the tax neces,
sary to pay the ordinary expenses of
your towns, but in towns where q
large share of the heaviest monied
men are holders of a goodly amount Of
non taxable Government Bonds, don't
raise much money towards paying off
your town debts at the ensuing meet
ing. Better pay little interest than
- too much Of the principle on said
debts. Defer paying those debts un-
til the "bonds" these men become due,
then tax them to pay this debt. They
have reaped the benefit from the Coy
eminent without giving any return
long enough. Tax these chaps as
soon as possible to the utmost extent
towards paying the debts occasioned
by the late war and to de-
frayingt the expenses Of our rotten and
swindling Government-as at present

Grants Nominations.

The persistent opposition encounter
ed in the Senate to the confirmation
of several of the Presidents nomina-
tons is attracting good deal of at
tention and comment in Congressional
and Administration circles. Princi-
pal among the nominations how hang
ing are those of Gen. Van Buren, to be
Consul at Kanagawa, Japan, and Gen.
Edward NJ. McCook to be Governor
Of Colorado. That any of the nominal
tons. however, which are now suspend
ed in consequence Of political or other
objections will be rejected, there is not
the slightest probability but the fact
that anybody in the Republican ranks
should dare to interpose serious
obstacle to the combinations made by
their President has convinced many
persons that the determined and sue
cesstul fights made upon Williams
and Gushing, when their names were
sent to the Senate to be Chief Justice,
have opened the eyes of Senators as
well as politicians, and neither feel
disposed to continue in their former
course of allowing Objectionable men
to be confirmed simply because they
were nominated and that their con,
firmation would please the President.
As to Gen. Van Buren,, the Secretary
of State has indicated no haste, and
has thus far neglected to make reply
to the request of the Foreign Rela-
tons Committee for their correspond
ence IN the Vienna scandal matter,
and, as previously stated in these
dispatches, Mr.. Fish will likely only
reply by brief note indicating that,
in his belief, there is nothing in that
correspondence which reflects serious
discredit upon Gen. Van Buren,, and
that the sending Of his name to the
Senate for confirmation to important
office is full and complete vindica-
ton against the charges made against
him. In the case of Gen. McCook it
is pretty safe to say that his nomina-
ton will be confirmed next week,
afer Delegate Chaffee shall have been
further heard on Monday by the Com
mittee on Territories in support of the
charges preferred by him against Nc
Cook. Friends of the latter assert
that proof is adduceable to prove that
the affidavits containing allegations
made by Chaffee are frauds and
forgeries. Exchange.

GRANTS NLw FouR-lN HAND
The Presidents new team, composed
Of four handsome bays, with gold
trimmed harness, made its second APP.
pearance on the avenue this afternoon.
Very wide and very white reins con
trolled them, and the team surpassed
anything of the kind ever seen here.
About the only thing that ever came
up to it in style was Buchu Helmbold's
turnout, with gold-tlimmed harness,
also, which was here four OF five years
ago. The horses of the Presidents
four.in-hand are all superior, and it is
said the team can get over the turf at
a three minutes gait. Two of the
horses, the leaders, have done better
than this on the private half.mile track
south of the Executive Mansion, on the
White House lot, on more than one
occasion, and once, at least, President
Grant himself held the ribbons.

The result of the PHILADELPHIA

The result Of the Philadelphia
majority election is a triumph for the
notorious Cameron and the Federal
Administration. Inveterate corrupt
ion proved again too powerful for new.
ly-feAged reform. How this victory
was gained is only tooevident. Wash
lngton authority contributed the inhu.
ence and the votes OF the Navy Yard /;
the 'ring" imported roughs from N. N.
whose exploits at the polls are told in
the record of shooting and clubbing /;
and the existing municipal organization
used its resources desperately for its
own continuance in power The
friends of reform have only the salts
faction that follows a bravely.contest-
ed fight, and to Col, Mcclure and Col.
Forney, who led the anti-Administra
ton forces, no little credit is due for
the gallant manner in which they con-
Quoted the struggle. But the ''ring,"
whose iniamy has been trumpeted from
one end of the country to the other, is
too strongly intrenched. 1t is identi
fed with the Republican party, directs
its nominations, and controls the Fed
eral patronage and influence. Hav
ing all the machinery ofthe City Gov
eminent in its hands, the police and the
officers Of elections being its creatures
and dependents, it has overcome even
the restrictions which the new Consti-
tuition places on its INSCRIPTIONS pur
poses, and scored another victory for
corruption and bad government. The
checks upon fraud and balot-stuf
fng that have received their first test
in this election have proved insufici
ent against the strength Of the great
Republican ring of Philadelphia
