SENSIBLE TALK FROM CONNECTICUT,

Hartford, Feb. 16.-The Democratic Stat,
Convention was held to-day David A. Wells
President. In his address he said the Re
publican party had failed to properly admin
| lister the government and restore peace ant
harmony since the war. He therefore urged
the return to Democratic principles, which b.
stated were in opposition to Federal inter
ference in the affairs of the States, that gov
eminent being the best which governs the
least equality of all men before the law
better currency, based on hard money and
taxation for revenue only. He thought it i'm
portant that these principles should be car
riod out, further than in expressions and
platforms. He denounced the Federal inter-
| ference in Louisiana as dictated by "a vaga-
bond political adventurer.' The Convention
| unanimously nominated the old ticket
The following is the resolution adopted
The Democratic and Liberal Republican
electors of Connecticut in delegated conven-
ton assembled, declare First, that free
government derives its just powers from the
consent of the governed that the Federal
Government is vested with those powers only
which are granted to it by the people and
enumerated in the Constitution Of the United
States.
2. That the public welfare requires the
supremacy of civil over military authority.
Freedom of person under protection Of habeas
corpusr consistent with public order. For
the State self-government and for national to
return to methods of peace and to constitu-
tonal limitations of power.
B. That We view with apprehension and
alarm and solemnly condemn as subversive
of free government the recent action of
Federal Executive in the States Of Louisiana
and Arkansas, and the avowed determination
to disregard will Of the people of those States
in reference to the organization of their gov
ernments and management of their local
affairs.
4. That the use Of bad money imposes an
unequal and dishonest tax, which bears most
heavily on those who work for wages. That
irredeemable paper, in whatever name known,
is bad money; and that it is fraud in time of
peace for the government to make anything
legal tender, except gold and silver coin OF a
fixed standard.
5. That the Republican party has proved
itself unfit, because with unlimited opportu-
nifty it has failed to make the bad money,
which it has forced upon the people, equal to
good money, with which it pays its bond
holders.
6. That it is no time, when industry is de-
pressed and honest labor everywhere deprived
of the opportunity for regular, remunerativc
to increase the burdens of Fed |
eral taxation, and that the present acknowl- |
edged bankruptcy of the National Treasury
is conclusive proof of the incompetency Of the
Republican party to properly administer the |
fiscal affairs of tie country
The remainder of the resolutions point to
he economical administration Of the State |
government during the past years by Demo-
Gratis, and points with pride to the ticket pre- |
'ented for reelection and approves of certain |
actions of the last Legislature

The House Committee on Indian Affairs to
whom was referred the bill to provide for the
ORGANIZATION of Territorial form of govern
ment over the country usually known as the
Indian Territory and for other purposes, re-
ported to-day that after careful, thorough
and impartial consideration OF the subject,
they find in view of the peculiar relations
to the government sustained by the people
therein, there is no authority which will JUS
tify; bat on the contrary, they find much IN
the many treaties with the Indians occupy
ing and owning the territory, in acts of Con-
gress vesting and guaranteeing certain rights
and immunlties to them, and IN the opinions
of the Supreme Court, interpreting, defining
and sustaining the same, which expressly
forbids the legislation proposed.
The committee say: Believing, as we do,
the legislation proposed in these bills to
be unjust and inexpedient, and, therefore,
unwise, we trust the seal of displeasure will
be by Congress emphatically set upon these
and kindred movements caicuiateu " impair
or destroy the binding force Of the nations
obligation to the feeble people who are there
by to be affected.
The people Of this great nation ought to
know or those of the Indian nation ought to
be assured that the Congress of the United
States can not and will not lend its sanction
to anv measure furnishing the nations honor,
especially where its honor and faith has been
plighted by solemn guarantee and written
covenant.

If a church is to be run on the clubhouse
plan, with private boxes, select assemblies,
and hrst-class entertainments, it's nobody
else's business, and particularly not the
Lords But if the church be a democracy,
as it ought to be, where the rich and poor
meet together, and the partition walls of social
caste are broken down, there should be no
placard: "This church is in debt Come
IN ! We desire your salvation. We want also

ing known as dead-head, or object of mis-

OF honor demands that he pay for his stated

sense is not strong enough to make him

debt. Therefore, if a church has debt of
any considerable amount, let it not be as

The sensational story telegraphed through
the country while ago from New York that
| figures gathered at the transit of Venus had
| developed the fact that the earth was plung-
| ing towards the sun at a rate that would land
us there in l, 400 years did not cause great
anxiety at the time for various reasons. Our
largest leases are only 999 years anyway, and
as this left a margin of 40l years additional
the report produced no effect upon the stock
market, and SO failed to disturb our cents OF
security, so to speak. However, Mr.. Richard
A. Proctor has taken the matter up and shows
conclusively its absurdity by the very simple
illustration that if the earth had, during the
last century, drawn one-thirtieth of her dis
lance nearer to the sun, the year would now
be eighteen days shorter than it then was.
But, in fact, the difference between the Chal-
dean sidereal year and our own is not more
than two minutes, which indicates that if we
have approached the sun at all it has been at
the rate of about eight miles in a hundred
years, and even this is doubtful, since the
Chaldean astronomers did not profess to alb
solute accuracy.
