THE RESULT IN CONNECTICUT.

The news concerning the Connecticut cleo
ton, which we publish this morning, is some
thing more than a reminder to the party of
the Administration. 1t is distinct and en-
phatic rebuke The causes assigned for the
defeat of the Republican State ticket
last wear were the local disatfection in
New-Haven, and various personal consldera-
tons that were supposed to affect the canvass.
This year the Administration ticket was made
ND of candidates whose personal popularity
was conceded, and instead of the disad-
vantage of lack of harmony in New
Haven, the party profted largely by a split
in the Democratic ranks, which cut
down the majority for Ingersoll from upwards
of $500 last year to about 800 this year. In
spite of this the Opposition has reelected all
of the Epresent State officers by a majority
little less, and plurality about the same
as last year, and has carried both branches of
the Assembly by increased majorities.
The defeat is simply overwhelming. The
thoughtful observer of current political events
has not far to look for the causes of this sig
nifcant result. Idle labOring men and dis
satisfied employees, who have waited in vain
for some sign of comprehension of the finan-
cial disturbance on the part of Congress OF the
Administration, have registered at the polls
their desire and demand for change.
Republicans who have loved the party from
its birth. and had the best wishes for its
continued prosperity, if only the coun-
try could prosper with it, have either
voted the Opposition ticket or refused
to vote at all. The disclosures of grasping,
overreaching disposition on the part of the
men in power, disgust for moiety grabbing
and salary grabbing, for Butlerism and Sim
monsism, and for the men at Washington
who uphold dishonest administration and
defend corruption, have all had their
effect on the vote. The position OF
Senator Buckingham, whose term expires with
this Congress, and whose successor is to be
elected by the Legislature chosen yesterday, has
had very much to do with the defeat. Whether
the fact was SO OF not, the people believed
that the Chairman Of the Administration State
Committee, who went to Washington to
lobby for Smmons's confirmation, induced
Senator Buckingham to dodge the vote
in the Senate. That was considered a
sort of approval of Batlerlsm, and the
tone of majority of the Administration
press toward Simmons and Butler gave color

to the suspicion. The verdict Of the people
is not without national significance. II means
that in Connecticut at least halt is called.
When Republicans, who have stood by
the party from the cradle, vote the OPP
position ticket openly, az was done in many
instances with the remark, "Well see what
"effect this will have" it means something
more than mere temporary disaffection. Con-
necticut is very tired of the false promises and
broken hopes which the Administration has
held out to the country so long.
1t remains TO be seen what use will be made
by the Opposition of their victory. The re-
sponsibility for wise and benelicent legislation,
for the election of able and competent
Judges, and of u. s. Senator
who shall be an honor to the State, re-
mains with them. Their course will be
watched with much anxiety. If they admins
ter the affairs of the state on the
low plane of craftsmanship putting mere
partisans on the bench, or II they fulfill
the predictions of their opponents by send
ing to the United States Senate an
unfit or incompetent man, they will deserve
to be hurled from power at the next election
1t is twenty-one years since they have had
complete control of the State. Since Isaac
Toucey left the Senate they have not had a
United States Senator. That their temptations
to imprudent action are great, cannot be
denied. Whether they will have the wisdom
to resist them, to restrain their eager
ness for Office and overcome their par
tsanship, is the question of their future
No fact is more patent than that they owe
their success less to any merits of their own
than to the weaknesses and follies of their
opponents; and this ought to, and perhaps
will, have a restraining influence upon them.
What effect the defeat Will have upon the party
in power at Washington will perhaps be seen in
the course of the legislation of the next two
months 1t is a disaster, which it is not i'm
possible to retrieve; but it must be confessed
that the conduct of the present party leaders
gives but little promise Of the exercise OF such
worldly wisdom and political prudence as the
occasion calls for.

The bill which was finally passed by the
United States Senate yesterday, having for Its
object the cheapening of paper money by
making it more plenty, is of immediate
Importance chiefly as an indication of the
requirements, intentions and opinions
of the men who voted for it. AS q prece-
dent, indeed, nothing can be imagined more
outrage0usly bad. A policy is inaugurated
which, if not soon reversed, must necessarily
dishonor and weaken the Government. and
bankrupt the people. If paper money was
necessary to save the country, what sort of
figure shall we make in our next great war.
into which it seems that we NAV have to en-
ter while already up TO the ears In the slough
of paper money! Messrs. Schurz, COnlling,
Anthony, Stewart, Thurman, Sargent, and
Others made earnest protests against the
action of the majority, but without effect.
Mr.. Schurz submitted a substitute, which,
while it may appear ironical to many of
our readers, is yet nothing more than a
plain and sober statement of the Opin-
ions expressed time and again on the
floor of the Senate by Morton, Logan,
Bogy, and other statesmen of the cheap
money school. There was time when the
United States Senate could challenge COMPARE
son with any similar body in the world. 1t is
a most respectable collection of statesmen
even now, but extremes meet there IN a
wonderful manner.

Pursuing the line of inquiry of the previous
lecture. Mr.. Proctor presents in the one re-
ported on our second page the probabilities OF
life in the planets which are presumed to
circle around distant suns. Within the limits
of strong probabilities there is wide play for
the imagination in systems whose luminares
have different sizes and colors; where perhaps
one day is orange and another blue, while on
still another the tints are mingled; where
satellites may serve to tighten the night with
reflected tints and moonlight be of variegated
hue. The tendency of Mr.. ProctOr's researches
is to demonstrate theory of the stellar
universe more remarkable for the variety it
introduces than the uniform systems that
many astronomers have assumed.

Sanborn's testimony before the Ways and
Means Committee yesterday was not much
short of an explosion. Unless this man has
periured himself, Secretary Richardson is con-
victed of having attempted to crawl out OF
this scandalous business by a series OF bald
falsifcatiOns. Mr.. Richardson said to the
Committee that he knew nothing about the
Sanborn contracts, and that he signed the
papers in the case as matter OF routine
duty. SanbOrn, cold, calm, and with his
wits about him, swears that the Secretary
did understand the whole business, and that
he (Sanborn) knew that Mr.. Richardson incl
ligently comprehended it in its various stages.
To say nothing of this blighting reflection
upon Mr.. Richardson's honor as man, the
testimony of Sanborn demolishes the last
refuge into which the Secretary had concealed
himself. 1t is necessary for Mr.. Richardson's
friends to destroy Sanborns testimony, or the
Secretary is destroyed This is no time for
Mr.. Richardson to palter about being ready to
resign; he must clear his character; or there
will be a case of impeachment for the House
of Representatives. In this general explosion,
too, it will be seen that ex-Secretary Bout
wells reputation has suffered a serious dam
age.

Mr.. Cook, formerly q law adviser of the
Government of the District of Columbia, does
not shine as a witness. Called before the
Congressional Committee of Investigation,
yesterday, he seemed afflicted with a defec-
tive memory and dullness of hearing. Cues
tons were repeated with asperity; and he
gave no answer. The point was this: Did
Cook receive cash from Strong, contractor
employed by the Board of Public Works7 1t
finally came out that he did receive checks for
large amounts-thousands, say. But whether
the money was paid for "influence" or legiti-
mate purposes is not so clear One must sup
pose that when information of this sort Is ex-
tracted by process most resembling tooth
pulling, there must be something painfully
wrong to be concealed.

Another semi-tropical bubble has burst with
the revocation Of the lease of the SANTANA Bay
Company. With the expiration of the troubled
official life of Baez began the real difficulties
of the American Company. The new Govern
ment was hostile; and, it is alleged, was under
British influence. This last assertion, how
ever. will probably need examination. AT any
rate, Provisional President Gonzalez, claiming
that the Company is delinquent in Its dues,
revokes the contract and annuls the lease.
We may next expect to hear of the Comp any
as a claimant for damages with brief In the
State Department.
The Court Of Common Pleas yesterday de-
cided that the Police Justices act is constitu-
tional. This Court, therefore, has settled a
long controversy. though it is possible that
the case may be carried TO the Court OF
Appeals. The question hinged upon the propo-
alton that the Office of Police Justice is en-
tirely separate and distinct from that of JUS
flee of the Peace. The Court decides that
these are separate Offices, and that 1t YVES
comnetent for the Legislature to enact a law
giving the appointment of Police Justice 10
the Mayor. In this case, Justice Hogan sought
10 have the law set aside in order to retain
