OENECTICUT DEMOCRACY.

Senator Eaton, Of Connecticut, who wa.
chosen by the Democrats OF that State a,
the fruit of their accidental majority in
1874, was, during the war, one of those in.
tense partisans who were known as Corner.
heads, and never saw anything commend.
able in the efforts to save the Union and
put down the Rebellion, and whose argu.
ment on all questions begun and ended in
the theory that the several States were alb.
solute soycreigns; that the United States j.
not a nation; that the Government of the
United States is but the agent or instrument
OF the sovereign" States, and that this is
but confederacy OF sovereign nations or
States. Mr.. Eaton, on the night of the Goth
OF March, enliveued the debate in the SEN
ate by a very earnest discussion OF the Lou
isiana question, into which he dragged his
inevitable one idea OF State sovereignty.
In the course of his remarks he laid down
the following propositions as indisput-
able:
ms Government of ours, this great confederation
oi States Is not nation, il is a cOnfederacy OF n-
tons: II Is composed Of sOveregnties.

onr readers suffer nearly as much. The
Beecher trial is an eye-sore to respectable
readers. Everybody is disguised with the
whole affair. All the principal parties in
the case have been proven periurers, liber-
tines and fools This Is the verdict OF every
one. Beecher has been proven a
pious old hypocrite, who preached
every Sunday against a sin he had
time and again committed in Company with
one OF his auditors. Tracy denounced Frank
Moulton as Judas Iscariot, and We mus.
admit that he was rather a treacherous
friend. Mrs. Tilton, poor, little, deluded
fool, nobody pays any attention 10 her, as
she daily sits surrounded by Beecher's be-
lieving crowd. Tilton and Beecher are the
attractions in the court room, and if Bessie
Turner is not an infamous liar, she must be
"a hall witted school girl who does not know
enough TO tell the truth" Ii We can be-
lieve her, Tilton is as bad as the rest OF the
crowd, and the sooner the trial ends the bet
ter. The people are sick of il.

EX-REBELs DON'T LIKE GRANT.

The Washington Chronicle is right when
it says that the current debate in the Senate
on the Louisiana resolution has developed
the curious fact that the distinguished gen.
tlemen transferred from the rebel army to
that high forum, and their old allies from
the North, still dislike Grants management
of the military affairs OF the nation as much
as they did when confronting him sword
in hand on the battle-felds OF the Republic.
They professed then, as now, to be the de-
voted friends of the Constitution and Of
civil liberty; they considered his conduct
toward them then, as now, extremely arbi-
trary and overbearing. In fact, his "bear-
ing" toward them they considered Soften
sively' overbearing from the commence
ment of the recent war to its close. He
was nearly always unlucky in securing their
approval of the selection of his subordinate
officers. They never liked such Generals as
Sheridan, Sherman, Howard, Meade, Scho-
field, and a host of other such immodest
military satraps, on whom Grant leaned for
support. His stupidity ard obtuseness was
nearly always demonstrated by his placing
an "overbearing" chieftan in front Of their
attempted advances, frustrating their peace
full journeys across the country, or on the
rear OF their shattered columns, retrea,ing
inofensively toward their homes.

BARNEY BoHAN,s TRIALS

Undoubtedly juries, as a general thing,
are composed of men that have no iudg.
ment OF their own, and who are governed in
their verGicts entirely by their preiudices.
or led away by the fluent tongue Of an able
and shrewd lawyer. This is particularly
true IN criminal cases, and is well e1empli-
he'd In the verdict of the jury in the Barney
Bohan trial, lately concluded in SaIina.
The defendant was accused of the MUIR
der oitwo brothers, named Anderson. He
was found guilty of manslaugh,er by one
jury, and sent need to the Penitentiary for
a number OF years. A few weeks sgo the
trial commenced Tor the murder of the
second brother, and different jury brought
in verdict OF not guilty. The people of
Salina are indignant, and the Herald
cannot understand by what process of rea-
soning the jury reached the conclusion that
the killing Of VIM. Anderson was neither
murder nor manslaugh;er." We do not
wish TO impugn the motives of the Jurors.
or accuse them oil acting wrong in the mat
ter, but it seems to us, that the verdict was
not in accordance with justice. 1t NAV be
because We did not hear the testimony, but
the reports Of the trial seems to he so fair.
and vet so convincing, that no sensible man
could doubt that Bohan was guilty. We
would regret to see an innocent man pun
ished, but We are also sorry to think that
scoundrel is again let loose in the State.
The attorneys for Bohan have applied for
new trial, in the first case, of course, and
we hope that an honest Judge will hesitate
before giving the culprit another chance to
e.cape

INFAMOUS.

The following dispatch from Ieavenworth
appears in the morning papers:
THE Rev. i. S. Kalloch left here sud-
denly this morning to take charge of the
new Baptist church in San Francisco
The author of this dispatch is a hook
nosed Ishmaelite whose hatred of reli-
gion and religious men has long been
chronic. The intimation conveyed bv the
word suddenly" is that Mr.. Kallock has
been guilty of something mean, sneakins
or disgraceful, and that he is running away
from it. The fact is it has been known for
months that he was contemplating this
change, and for weeks that he intended an
arly departure.
After he is gone this sneak attempts to
injure him by foul inUendo, and then
cowardly lodges behind the associated pre-. ;
report.-Atehison Ratria. Il.
The Rev. |. ). Kalloch originally got off
the "hOok-nosed devil who edits the TINES"
When Mr.. Kalloch repcnted second time,
which was only a few days after he invent
ed the above epithet, he called upon the
"hook-nosed editor" acknowledging the
errors OF the past, and asking the aid of the
TINES in his efforts TO re-estabIish himself
in the good opinion OF the world. The
"hOok-nosed' editor playfully reminded
the divine OF some OF the naughty things
he had done i'll the past; pardon was
asked and granted, and for one year
the TINES, in obedience to Bro. Kalloch's
request, has assisted him through It's edi-
torial columns to obtain and sustain po-
sition in the community.
Bro. kalioch knows the influence OF the
press, and has written scores OF articles for
THE TINES about his church and himself,
which We gratuitously published with
sincere desire to aid him in his resolves to
become better man. There is no attempt,
nor has there been to "dodge," and if the
author -: the above article, Mr.. g., will
read his own article over. we think even q.
will acknowledge that his own communica-
ton is not very religious. The dispatch was
sent from this Office, and it is true, Mr.. Kali
loch's most intimate friends did not know of

go in a week or two. He told us only the
day before his departure that he expected
TO go in about two weeks. lie told many
Others the same thing. His sudden depar-
ture was the subject OF conversation and re-
mark, by hundreds in this city.
As to the propriety OF telegraphing the
same, Others may judge. 1t was a
fact, which excited much public comment
in this city. Ii the author of the above ar
ticle is friend of Kalloch, or an enemy, he |
has succeeded in making an ass of himself. |
We have never had other than pleasant re-
lations with Kalloch since his residence |
in Leavenworth, and only the. day before
he left, he expressed a thousand thanks to
us for the universal kindness with which |
The TIMES had always spoken Of him. We
now only wish for his future happiness.
Is the fool answered?

THE ELECTIONS.

The tidal wave" which swept over the
country last Fall has so overjoyed the Dem
ocrats that they imagine that the people
have become tired OF Republican rule, and
will again this Spring flock to the Bourbon
standards, and enable the Rebels to achieve
another series OF Victories. They imagine
that they can be successful without work
ing. The folly OF this beliefwas fully illus
trated at the late election in New Hamp-
shire. This State had always been very
close, and the result was anxiously awaited
by all. 1t is we'll known that the Demo-
Gratis were sorely disappointed. The New
York San, Tribune and other organs admit
this fact. They feel grieved because Cor
don and Lamar were unable to convince
Union soldiers OF the folly OF voting the
Republican ticket
Having failed in New Hampshire, they
have some little hope Of the elections next
Tuesday in Connecticut. The Republicans
are also aware OF the great importance OF
carrying this State, and are making siren
uous efforts to effect the desired end. THE
TIMES has always said that the elections
last fall, decided nothing, and the people
would again rebuke the democracy at the
polls this spring. We think this has been
done, and will be repeated this year in ev-
cry State and city in the Union. The city
elections are also important, and should be
watched. The offices, it is true, are not
very important, but the Republicans must
be careful, and not allow the Democrats to
obtain foothold in our midst.

A GOOD LAW.

The Legislature, at its last session, passed
a law compelling railroad companies incor.
porated under the laws of Kansas, to KEEP
their general Offices within the limits of the
State. This law affects the Kansas Pacific
Missouri River, Fort Scott and Gulf, and
Leavenworth, Lawrence and Galveston rail-
roads, at Kansas City, and the St. Joseph
and Denver, at St. Joe
We consider this law nothing but fair
and just, and the people of Kansas will de-
mand Its enforcement Hereafter, the gen.
eral offices OF the above named companies
will be located where of right they should
be, within the limits Of our State.

SCANDAL aONGE2s.

There is no class of persons who should
beso much condemned and 50 much despised
as the scandal monsers. They enter your
house, pretending to take an interes; in your
domestic affairs; you coniide in them, and
they depart, only TO retail to the neighbor-
hood gossips what they learned while in
your home. They live and flourish on Cos
sip and scandal. They carry long, hypo-
critical faces, and daily pour forth bitter
streams Of disgusting venom on innocent
and pure men and women. They watch
