POLITICAL.

Over 500 new voters have been made at New
Haven the past week.
There are indications that Douglass. Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, will soon resign. The
most prominent candidate for succession is Deputy
Commissioner Rogers.
The President has appointed A. c. Barstow Of
Rhode Island to be a member of the Board of In
dian Peace Commissioners under the act approved
April 10, 1869.
An observing genius has noticed that whenever
democrats have agreed to unite with other denomi-
nations and run man irrespective Of party the
candidate is always democrat.
Gen. Garfield, in his opening speech on the
stump in Connecticut, said that Gen. Hawley
would be needed to reinforce the little squad of
twenty five Union officers who, on the floor of the
next House, will be confronted by sixtyeight gen.
tlemen who served in the rebel armies.
Congressman Frye, in his speech at Hartford,
confirmed the statement that Gen. Sheridan's "ban-
ditti" dispatch was for immediate effect in New
Orleans, where it was published as written,
with just such beneficial results as had been an
ticpated. lie also said that but for the republican
success in New Hampshire the effort to secure a
compromise and settlement Of the difficulties in
Louisiana would have failed.
We confess to a feeling Of Indignation when We
are told that dislike to see the National Gov
eminent in the hands of the ex-rebels is an exhh-
ton of narrow and intolerant feeling. We have
believed that could forgive the past and well
every right minded rebel to full fellowship
in every civil and political right without deemng
it best Immediately to place the control of the
Government in their hands. The ship of State
has been through the great peril. Half of the
officers and crew mutlnied and tried to scutle the
ship. After desperate struggle the mutiny was
suppressed and the vessel started again on her
course But the good working Of the ship re-
quired full crew, and the mutineers instead of
being hung at the yard-arm, were pardoned and
invited to bear hand But instead Of gratefully
accepting the offer they have sulked and refused
to man the ropes, until conspiracy has been
formed for Selling the ship. And now those who
think the craft will be safer in the hands of these
who suppressed the mutiny are accused of harbor-
ing i'll feeling and resentment Is this fair Gen.

Mr.. Caldwell the State never had Under

AMERICAN AND ENGLISH HAIR
NESSES

A writer in the New York Times discussing at
considerable length the folly of going abroad to
buy foreign goods or manufactures, or to buy i'm.
ported articles in preference to those made in
America, takes the subject Of harnesses to Illus
trate his argument which is very effective. He
says:
"a gentlemen of this city imported coach har-
ness and a coupe harness, and used them in con-
nection with harness made here, of American
leather, for the purpose Of satisfying his own
doubts in this regard. The result Of one years
wear was that, while none of the straps in either
harness were broken, those in the imported har
ness had become wrinkled, and in places partic'
ulary around the holes for the buckle-tonSues
the grain of the leather was broken, and the ap-
pearance Of the harness was such as to lead to the
opinion that the usage had been unusually severe
for coach harness.
The American made harness, on the other hand,
with the exception of loss Of color in few places
where it had been rubbed, but little the worse
for the wear to which it had been subjected.
The leather was smooth, and there was no evil
dence of the grain breaking in any place. A firm
of New York leather manufacturers, finding it eX-
tremely difficult to fill all their orders for fine
harness leather, sent an order to England for g
consignment Of the best harness leather-what /:
technically known as assorted backs-that could
be procured, with instruction to ship without rol
ling. 1t was accordingly shipped in long boxes
every precaution being taken to guard 1t agalns
injury, and it was received in good order.
A prominent harness maker, requiring trace
leather sufficient for forty sets of traces, purchas
ed some of this invoice. The harnesses were made
up and delivered, and in a short Ii ne thirty eight
out of the forty sets of traces were broken. Thi,
would never have happened with fine American
made harnesses. A prominent dealer of this city
made three sets Of harness that weighed only five
pounds each, for drawing l20 pound wagons
One was sent to the Emperor Napoleon, and it i;
was hung up in glass case in the Tuileries, an
object of admiration and wonder to the harness
makers of France. Another has been in use in
this city five years without repairs"

The good old times, once more, were
an era of utter selfshness. There were
no hospitals, no charitable organizations,
unless the monastic nurseries of vice and
hot-beds of lechery are entitled to that
name, no brotherhood, no humanity, no
philanthropy.
1t is needless to add that the good old
times were times of the darkest ignorance
and the grossest superstition. In pro-
portion as education advanced, the condi-
ton of the world became better The
lamp that burns in the human brain is the
light which guides nations to civilization.
The key to material growth is mental
growth. 1t is by waging relentless war
against ignorance; by preventing crime,
attacking it with the school-house instead
of the JAIL by compelling parents to
cease to deny their offspring the natural,
inalienable right of instruction,-it is by
such means that modern society will final
ly reach the vicinity of the Millennium
In proportion as it has used these weapons,
it has prospered in the struggle life.
When it uses all, it will finally win the
fight and usher in the good new times"

The Standard attributes the rise in gold
to the financial bill passed by the last
Congress. The fnanciers of New York
take different view from that ofthe Stand
ard, and they we think would be quite as
likely to know about the matter as the
editor of the Standard. They say that
Uncle Daniel Drew is the fellow that
worked gold up; and not the congress
sional bill. The fall of gold in one day
from ZIG rs to 1147 after Uncle Daniel
displayed his hand is pretty conclusive
evidence that the financial bill had nothing
