The Connecticut Election.
The Democrats have carried the cleo
ton In Connecticut Green, the Republi-
can candidate for governor, was defeated
By Engersoll, Democrat The Democrats
gained two congressman. The election is
very significant The Republicans
made q desperate effort TO carry this
state. They made the canvass with their
best speakers, and used the influence of the
administration patronage, and money to
secure success. But all in vainl This
isquite large straw that is sent by the
breeze that is setting for 1876, when it
viii blow tornado which will sweep
"Third-termism" credit MobeHer," "San-
born contract, suppression ofState legis-
lAtures," "Grautism,' "Sheridanism," and
Butlerism, from the land. Fer the worlds
sake let it come. For the sake of Repub-
ican institutions wherever they are being
attempted, let it comel Up to the war
che United States was looked upon with
pride, and pointed to as a modle, by all
lovers of liberty who were struggling to
throw off despotism and establish a
government of the people for the people
"a government under which the greatest
happiness to the greatest number might
be secured. Since 1860 it has been
snseringly pointed to by depots all over
che world, as a warning to those who
would attempt selEgovernment. And
veil might they SO point to it; for since
1851, our government, although Republi
can In form, has been despotic in prac-
eice. No where in the world during this
time have greater acts of despotism been
committed-has all law that stood in the
way Of the party in power been so con-
temptuously disregarded. For the last
four years in what country has there been
less honor-Or even vulgar honestly
among rulers aud men in public places
OF authority and trust; what country can
exhibit such list of public frauds, ras-
oAlitiesi such jobbery and peculation?
What country can exhibit such a list OF
public swindlers and unblushing thieves;
anu LuCn WIN pLltlC LuelHSciNGS puUllCiy

To-day in large portion of the United
States, the people are degraded, anC
law powerless; their lives and property, in
secure and industry deprived of its incen
tive and despoiled Of its reward; FRAUD
sanctioned by power, and the disolute who
live by fraud aud stealing Landed Al
patriots; theft and murder stalk forth a
midday; man has lost confidence in hi
fellow man; agriculture is Respondent
virtue prescribed, and patriotism in des
pair; the constitution Knocked and the will
of the President set up in its place. Blu
the signs fthe times are ominous A grea
change is coming over the dream of tn
people. They are about waking; and il
1876 will be wide awake to the misgov
eminent and rascalities perpetrated b.
those who were in authority while tn
people suffered under a nightmare o
hate and prejudice.

The ST. Louis Republican of the 9th

negroes arrived in this city couple of

They are in a state of great restitution
and are the victims Of most cruel, sense
less trick. They had been living on a
plantation in Hickman comfy, Tenn,
about fifty mics from Nashville. Some
time ago two or three strange white men
went among and gave them glowing ac-
counts of the country in Kansas, telling
them that the government was DESTROYS of
having it settled as rapidly as possible,
and that every ten families who would
agree to 20 and live there would be furni-
shed at St. Louis with a deed to 100 acres
of good land two horses, wagon and six
months rations GlamOured by such a
prospect, they raised $3.50 by dint of much
exertion, and with this amount succeeded
in purchasing transportation to this city.
Arriving here they found that they had
been v1ctimized, and they are now without
food, shelter or means to enable them to
travel elsewhere, About twenty ofthe num-
