Connecticut Election.


The election in Connecticut will take
place on Monday next, April 5. Last
year c. r. Ingersoll, the Democratic Gov
ernor, received 46,755 votes, to 39,973
cast for Harrison. Ingersoll' is a eandi-
date for reelection, and his new opponent
is James l.. Greene. For Congress the
Republicans have nominated Joseph r.
Hawlcy, s. w. Kellogg, II. II. Stark
weather and Robert Hubbard. The Dem
oeratic candidates are G. NJ. Landers,
james Phelps, L. s. Foster and W. ii.
Barnum. The vote Of the State for Pres
ident in 1872 was 5O,63s for Grant,
and 1882 for Greeley--Republi- can
majority 4,766, On the Congressional
vote in 1873 the Republicans carried three
out Of four districts, and had majority
of 1854 on the Congressional vote Of the
State. The contest on Monday, ought to
show some gains for the Republicans, as
the Congressional nominations have not
been altogether harmonious among the
Democrats. Our friends, however, are
making a gallant fight, and Judge Thur
man, Of Ohio, and Hon. Thomas r. Bay
ard, Of Del. have both given their valuable
aid in the canvass We await the result
with lively interest, trusting that victory
may perch upon the Democratic banner.

portraits Of the two great railroad rivals,
Messrs. Scott and Garrett, with an accom-

tween the Pennsylvania Railroad and the
Baltimore and Ohio, represented by these
two gentlemen, has eventuated in reduc-
ing railroad fare to the West to mere
nominal price, and has made their names
as familiar as household words.

REFoRM NEEDED AT THg PATENT

Patent Office in its treatment Of inventors,
the institution win lose its character for
usefulness. The annual report shows the
enormous number Of 800 applications for
patents rejected last year, while probably
as many more were delayed and their
claims emasculaied. We hope that the
rejected applicants win all write to their
Of Congress in complaint, and
ask for Official enquiry. The press Is
TO take tho matter up. The
Archaeological says :a Commissioner Thach-
er will most promote the welfare Of the
Patent Office, and the rights Of inventors,
BY putting biz foot firmly down upon this
uncalled-for practice Of standing in the

their applications the fnll, fair, and Inn
partial consideration to which, in law,

Gen. George B. Mcclellan was selected.
In 1863, Seymour and Blair were the
nominees, the hitter chiefly on account Of
his war record, and perhaps the most un-
popular man that could have been selected,
about that time, having made himself
odious BY his ultraism in the abolition
party, He proved to be dead weight
upon Seymour, who, although good and
strong man, could not bear up successfully
under the burden of Blair. Sagacious
men foresaw from the beginning that only
defeat could be anticipated Then came
the most disastrous campaign Of all, that
Of 1872, with Horace Greeley and b.
Gratz Brown as candidates. There was
not only no proper head in that canvass,
but no brains. Never before did any party
commit so deliberate an act Of political
fslo Dc Sc To thu day we are astounded
at the blind fatality which prompted it,
whenever our thoughts recur to the sub
jet, and il is more Of puzzle to us than
the Egyptian Sphinx ever was to the com
prehension of the arch@olocists.
