For instance: 1t attributes the defeat of
General Hawley, the Republican can
didate for reelection to Congress In
the First district In Connecticut to his
opposition to tho Southern policy Of
the Administration, and infers that the
result is indicative Of the fact that his
constituents do notindorse that oppo-
sition. Had General Hawley run
against a member Of his " party
and . supporter Of Grants Southern
policy, such an inference might rea-
sonsbly have been drawn; but when it
is remembered that his Democratic OPP
ponent was equally strong. If not
stronger, in his opposition to that, as
we'll as to nearly every other branch of
the Administration's policy, the alb
surdity Of the reason II apparent. The
Virginia Chronicle comes nearer the
mark and furnishes at least a partial
explanation of the urse when it says:
"General Hawley has bitterly opposed
the revolutionary schemes Of Grant,
notably the Force bill, third-term pre-
tension and the Louisiana usurpation,
and for this the word went out from
the White House that he must be de-
feated at all hazards. Every p~Ostofice
clerk and every parasite OF the public
crib in Hartfort was at once set to
work against him. This influence, act
ing as an auxiliary to the efforts of
those who were determined to beat the
Republican candidate anyhow, is what
did the business" The Ave hundred
majority against General Hawley, how.
ever. Is mainly attributable to the ac-
ton Of the Republican State Conven-
ltion, which was VIGOROUSLY controlled
and managed in the interest Of the Adj
ministration, ind0rsing by resolution
its every act, maintaining q studied
r~eticence upon the third-term question
and nominating q ticket principally
composed Of avowed supporters Of the
Presidential policy. Had the Republi-
cans of Connecticut followed the ex-
ample Of their brethren in New Hamp-
shire and made their fight upon the
legitimate principles of their party,
without attempting to pack the dead
weight Of the Administrations sins
and blunders, the Democratic MAORI
ty would have been materially less
ened, If not entirely overcome in the
Nutmeg State, and q Democrat would
not have been elected to represent in
Congress the people OF a largely Re-
publican district. But General Haw-
ley, like poor Tray, was found in bad
company and suffered in consequence.
There appears to he, in the East, q
desire upon the part of certain inter-
ssts to produce q gold excitement
and and consequent rush to the
Black Hills country. We have
received . number Of circulars,
hand. bills and Eastern papers with
marked passages relating to the
wonderful discoveries in the new Dora
do, and everything tends to indicate
that . systematized effort is being
made to induce emigration To that sec-
ton. A great noise has been made in
relation to the news brought back by
the Owens brothers, who were report
cd to have spent several months at the
diggings and who gave the most mar
velous accounts of their richness. By
our dispatches to-day, 1t appears that
the Owens brothers were engaged in
tripping during the entire season and
have level been near the mines.
Doubtless other accounts are equally
unreliable, and 1t will be we'll for per-
Sons who are thinking Of leaving for
the new excitement to consider q little
before making . mov in that direc-
ton. The accounts from there, thus
far, arc vague and indefinite, and moth
ing reliable has been published that
will justify the excitement which pre-
wallis In the North Western States. In
addition to this the Government is de.
ternined 10 prevent emigration into
the country which has been set apart
- an Indian reservation, until q
treaty has been effected with the owners,
and the expeditions fitting out for the
new mines will not Be permitted to en-
Ter the territory until . settlement Is
s6setsd with tho Indians by the Gov
srnment. Taking everything into on
