CoUN1ERFEITERs ARREsTED.-We noticed

been arrested in Southeastern Virginia, by

The result of the election in Connecticut on
the 9Th inst, resulted in what might be called
: ..draw game,' neither party having gained
anything substantially. The Democrats had
carried the State for the past two years, aud
this year they reelected Mr. Ingersoll by y
small majority, corresponding with that given
ia previous years. The Republicans make
sorHe gains in the Legislature, but not enough
to overcome the Democratic majority OF last
gear. Gov Hawiey was defeated for Congress
by about 200 votes by Mr.. Landis-a result not
unexpected, as his district is decidedly demo-
cratic, bat to be regretted, es We III one'df the
7,eblest men of New. England. Mr.. Kellogg,
republican, it is thought, is defeated by Mr.
Phelps, democrat. Barnum, democrat, IS cleo
ted. This would give these democrats out OF
<he four elected, bat another dispatch says that
.starkwcather and Kellogg, republicans, are
~lected-which would give two of each party.
We notice that the vote of each party was
Increased in almost an exact ratio, and that
aherc has been 20 gain on either side, in the
popular vote, except in the increased vote of
both.
The prohibitionists Iada candidate in the
Aeld, which drew from the Republicans the
larger portion of their strength. Last year
the democrats elected their Governor by a
plurality of G,7s2; in 1873, it was 5,Sl4. The
prohibitionists pollcd last year 1880 and in
1873, 2,45l.
Later intelligence announces the election OF
three democrats to Congress, and one Repub-
lican, Mr. Starkweathcr, the only one of the
republicans from Connecticut in the last Con-
sgrcss and who stood square by the aaininistra-
:aion.

Frightening Prospects.

That we'are gradually shaking off or cm-
ttrrassm-nts and recovering from the prostra-
.n,, effects Of the shock of 1873, is evidenced
ny the increasing Interest manifested in rail
,nadaffnirs. From almost every section OF the
toantry cheering reports arc coming in OF the
revival of business activity and public conf
'ience and there seems to be universal desire
,,a the part OF capitalists and corporations to
push, forward public Improvements.
Among the many projected openings of roads,
The one that will mostly benefit this particular
section and State, is the completion of the
western connection Of the Chesapeake & Ohio.
For tile accomplishment Of this, there are three
routes under consideration, namely:
The Lexington and Big Sandy road, from
7! o .isville via Lexington, KY, to the Big San
ay river-in fact, Huntington the Kentucky
and Great Eastern railway, from Coyington,
"pposite Cincinnati, to the Big Sandy at Cat
lettsburgl Or to Harrington, eight miles dis
.ant; and the Ohio River road, from Cincinnati
to huntington, on the north side of the Ohio.
The excrtions in behalf of the Kentucky and
Great Eastern seem to be the most active at
ptCSCAIs VII Liz OUGt "a 1tdICu q I'LL &c IASCI-
ing of the friends of this line was held at the
ssraad Hotel, Cincinnati, at which the most
uattering assurances were given that the eolln-
ties along the route would subscribe their quo
tas and that the road would be let to contract
at no distant day. The delegates were from
almost every county along the line Of the pro
posed road, ant are men of ability, capital an6
experience, and knew whereof they spoke, il
grenlisin the aid and cooperation Of their sec
tons ant corporations
There is no movement now on foot that is Il
closely allied with, and will 50 surely promote
the prosperity and importance Of our consmu
s,ity as the completion of the Chesapeake ant
Ohio. In the condition it now stands the roat
is scarcely doing one-tlrd of its legitimat,
business. 1t was originally intended az tn,
great transit Of the west, and these contempla
ted extensions will connect the fertile region
Of the Ohio, with the vast mineral deposits o
Vest Virginia, and thence with the waters O
the Atlantic thus making it one- of the grand
est national thoroughfares OF which our cont
nent can boast and fulfilling the dream Of it
projectors.
There are potent reasons why the work shoul
be let and vigorously prosecuted at once, ns
ouly because of the immense trade that awaits
=.nd the new interests that it will create, bt
because it can be butt HOW az a less cost tha
at any other time. Labor is cheap and abul
dant Some of the best railroad men in tn
United States are ready to take it at the loves
prices, and there is an immediate and i.nper;
tive necessity for it.

was returning to his home from Yimbervflle,

his horse, it is supposed, became frightened and
threw him. His foot hanging in the stirrup,
he was dragged about one hundred yards, and
SO badly bruised that he died about II o'clock

occurred on the 10Th. He was in the GA year

generous nature and his heart and hand were
never closed to the want and distress OF his fell

had amassed considerable fortune by his skill
and labor. AS citizen, neighbor, friend, he
was endeared to all those surrounding him. and
in the domestic relations he was always kind,
thoughtful and affectonate. We tender our
