which they labor before attempting any
 severe punishment of the savage and dan gero!.s tes,;ss feelings titt Chat oppression has arous-
 ed? Let us imagine parallel case among
 ourselves. Suppose that our foreign emi-
 grants were in small numerical majority in Connecticut; that they had no more property, no more intelligence than the southern blacks; that, organized by few Southern Democrats, they had obtained possession of our State government; that they had run taxation up to figure which implied practical confscation and which had ruined all our chief industries; that they had devised iniquitous laws which made the ballot powerless for reform, and defed adverse popular majorities? Would there be no organization of American" Leagues, no threats of armed revolution, and might there noJ be an occasional ''tak- ing off" of carpet-bagging scoundreIs in office here, in the Land of Steady Habits?
 Had the committees report been receiv- ed at the time of the session of the New Hampshire Republican convention, of last week, we think the first of its resolutions which we give below would have been somewhat strengthened, and the second somewhat weakened. Still they show the general current of Republican, feeling very fairly:
 Ninth: We earnestly desire the same peace, protection. and prosperity for the people of the South that we ourselves en- joy,and we condemn all rapacity and mal- administration on the part of any Repnb lican official, whether white or black, and all lawlessness and intimidation on the part of white leagues or white employers. "Let us have peace;" and we call on Con gross to give peace and a republican form of government to Louisiana without de- lay.
 Tenth; While we condemn the use of the military power of the nation for any purpose not clearly defined in the Consti tuition, we denounce the armed organiZa- tiQps in some of the Southern States as the chief source of all their troubles, and particularly in Louisiana. where they have seized the arms of the State, overturned the existing Government, and foully mur- dered thousands of innocsnt citizens.

Washington is in an uncommon state of eommotion about this time. First we'd ding-to take place Tuesday morning. is interesting quite number of our citi- zens, and next will occur the dedication of the new hall, and lecture by Dr. Hol- land, as MT. Gum announced in your last issue, and lastly an oyster supper at MT. H. H. Morehouse's, for the benefit of the Episcopal church. is contemplated for Friday evening, January P. The net receipts for a similar festival which was given there two years ago for the same purpose, was about seventy-five dollars. The society is now in as great a need of g little help in raising funds as it ever was, and it is hoped that all who desire to have good time. and also do good with the cost of the good time, will be sure to be present.
 We fear some over-cautious people will be deterred from coming either to the hall, or to NIT. Morehouse's, by the exag- gerated rumors that still prevail abroad about the small pox yet being in our midst. There truly has been one instance and only one. In New Milford they re- port that there are many cases here yet, and they seem determined to keep quite aloof from us on account of it. On the other hand, some of our citizens are afraid to go to New Milford because it has been reported that there were several bqd eases there, which is undoubtedly true, although they are not small pox cases.

The New Milford Ray exposes a queer gap in the Sentinel's report of the late convention Of county representatives in this place Gtalics ours);
 If the Litchfeld Sentinel gave a correct account of the meeting held on the 9th, there is great need that something should be done with the jail. It reports Mir. Cleve- land-one of the commissioners say ing that formerly the receipts from the la- Dor of the convicts were from $150 to 45O l per year; but of late nothing had been re- ceived. Some one asked who had the avails of the labor, and other questions l bearing upon the same matter were put; but, as no answers are given by the Senti- | nel. there seems to have been an ominous silence. These questions should have been l answered. # they a0ere das,0ered satis- factorily tt is strange that Gpaper giUing report of the meeting should not hace pabtished them. If they were not answer ed the people should know the reason why. It is not at all probable that the jail is in such poor condition that those who are cannot work nor have the times been SO hard that nothing could be given the pris- oners to do. It is not likely that there are | fewer prisoners there now than when their labor was remunerative, nor is it reasona- ble that less Is obtained now for their la Dor than was received years ago. It may be that the Sentinel gave an incomplete account of this meeting; but, as it gives it, grave suspicious are aroused that the management of the jail has not been what it should have been. This matter will bear looking into. We hope that no req son for complaint will be found.
 The omission above referred to was gen. erally noticed, and the Sentinel cannot fail to see the propriety of full and clear answer
