They spelled for an hour or 40, and then
had n recess OF i've or ten minutes, after
which spelling down" was the pro,

went down on simple words. For instance
Capt. Vanpelt left one up of Sheriff.

Calvin Gray took his seat on "adaman'

and his forces had all gone down, and
although Capt. Vanlelt had gone down
early in the contest, hG had eight or len
standing at their post to claim the vic

Connecticut Election.

The very welcome tidinss reach us OF an
overwhelming victory for the Democrats in
Connecticut, ut the election on tho 5th. The
RenuDlican candidate for Governor is do
Eeated by nearly 10000 votes by the Demo-
cratic candidate, Gov. InSersoll. The Dom
ocrats elect three out of the four members
of Congress, and carry both houses of the
legislature with majority Of about 30 on
joint ballot.
In tho recent campaign, Speaker Blaine
made Il speech appealing to the loyalty of
Connecticut and approving reconstruction
Soma or Eaton also made a speech, but took
!, decided stand i'll favor of States' rights,
arguing at length, after Calhoun's idea, that
tits was not IL nation OF people, but Il nation
of States, sovereign except as to the powers
delegated to the Federal government. The
issue, therefore, between Democracy and
Contralism WAS fairly and squareiy made.
The result of the election, is tho coinlnont.
This great victory ought to inspire the poo
pie of this State with courage and h"po to
defend their Institutions against tho en-
croich,ucntS of uSurpHLion.

We are invited by tho Intellgencer to
express our opinion Of the ''connection Of
Our brothers-in-law' with the building of
the calabOose."
We have given the subject but very little
thought, except to contrast the manner of
letting the contract for building the Gala
boose with that pursued i'll building tho
engine house. In the one case, proposals
were called for by advertisement, and the
adjudication duly made to the lowest bid
dor; III the other case, whc, @ the editor of
tho ntct1igencer was concerned as II coun-
Gilman, tho contract was let, we believe
without advertisement, ana lot to Il mcinbcr
of tho Council.
We have hoard no complaint that Mr..
Nollnaan was not tho lowest bidder of three
| and VIC presume, if he has employed Il
brother-in-law, Inc has donc SO because his
terms for work were tho cheapest offered.
As II "riss' our neighbours Suuib may pos
scss the vitality of II fortnight, but the
facts do not give his objections either merit
force.
