The usual election parade took place on Wednesday last and the second Demo cratic legislature of recent years was or ganized. It is not very strong in talent or in experience, we judge. nothing like so strong as the Democratic minority used to be in days when Senator Eaton repre- sented Hartford; Gov. Ingerson, New Haven: Wm. D. Bishop, Bridgeport; E. W. Seymour, Litchfeld; and other strong men made really strong legislature.
 The Governors message is sensible business-like document Mir. Ingersoll is too candid gentleman to fill his messages with offensive partisanship and his refer ence to the organization of the Louisiana legislature will meet with the approval of many Republicans as well as of all Demo- crats. In one particular the Governor comes into pretty sharp collision with the Democracy of the Winsted Press. While that paper is calling for the organization of the "Greenback Clubs" of the Western infiationists here in New England, and as- serts that 'We have had enough of the Hard Money false philosophy" Gov. h. gerson gives us the following ''hard money" talk:
 1 The lapse of time, however, has operat- ed advantageously in this: it has done much to dispel the dangerous illusion that the country needs, as stimulant, an ad- d1tional issue of an already discredited currency, and to bring into clearer view the more unwelcome truth, that patient industry can alone satisfy the penalty past excesses are now exacting of our people.
 The Senate organized with the election of MT. Bowen Pres. pro tenn, and E. Fl. Hyde, Jr., Clerk, and the House organ zing as announced in our last. The list of committeeman will be found on our first page. Litchfeld county gathers in three chairmanships: Huntington of Woodbury, on Interpretations; Deming of Hodge of Roxbury. on Claims. These and the assistant-clerkship are surely enough for one county in one House. MT. Gay, of Winsted, is appropriately located on the Finance committee.
 Mir. Edward s. Cleveland of Hampton, Independent" breaks ground for reform with bill to forbid the issue of free pass es over railroads. Success to the move ment! The railroad committee is poor one for Goodwin and reform-very.

To Sentinel Subscribers !

The Subscribers to the Litchfield Sen- tinel are so well aware that it has not been in a prosperous condition for some time past that they will not be surprised to hear ofits discontinuance. Mir. s. B. John son. it's former editor, who held mortgage onits material, good will, and subscription book, as security for a sum considerably | exceeding the market value of that prop I erty, has found 1t necessary to take posses sion in order to avoid further loss, and has conveyed to the proprietor of the En- quirer the material, good will, and sub- scription accounts of the Sentinel.
 Publication of the Sentinel will, there fore, be discontinued, but we shall be glad to send the Enquirer to such of the Sentinel subscribers as wish to take a Litchfeld paper for its county, State, and l other news. We cannot reasonably ex- pect that those who have patronized the l Sentinel merely for its politics will con- tinue the Enquirer, and they will oblige us by notifying us, or their postmaster, at once, of their refusal of our paper, and 1 by forwarding to us any arrears of sub- scription that may be due.
 We are not obligated by the terms of our purchase to complete the subscrip- tions of such Sentinel subscribers as have paid in advance Still. as a newspaper publisher, we are very we'll aware that ad- vance subscribers are the cream of a subscription list, and We make them the following proposition:
 Any Sentinel subscriber who will con tinue the Enquirer for term not less than double that for which he is now in advance with the Sentinel, will be credit ed with the full amount of his advance payment to that paper, on his Enquirer subscription. Should he stop the En- qulrer at any time before the end of the double term above specified, he will be charged for the time taken, without any deduction for Sentinel subscription. For example: if any Sentinel subscriber has paid three months in advance, and takes the Enquirer not less than six months, he will be credited with the 50 cents due him from the Sentinel. Should he stop his Enquirer before the expiration of his six months, he will not be allowed that credit.
 The condition of each subscribers &C., count on the Sentinel subscription book will appear from the date annexed to his name on the direction outside his paper. For instance: "J. Jones l aug 73" means that J. Jones is in arrears for subscrip- tion since the first of August 1873. Should subscribers claim uncredited payments, or other defense to the account as it appears on the mailing list, they will save us and themselves much annoyance by immedi- ately notifying us, or their postmaster, of such payment or defense.
