A Times special says a startling
scene occurred before the Returning

of her husband having been shot before

her arms by two white Democrats.
Gov. Palmer, of Illinois, leaped from

but if it be proved true, the wretches
who perpetrate such atrocities should
be executed without mercy / will

Keep perfectly quiet; leave tho streets.

HARTroRD, April 3.--In spite OF the brisk
rainfall, considerable enthusiasm WAS mani
tested by the crowds which gathered on the
street and thronVed the newspaper Offices e
night Indeed, more interest was manifested
than at any time during the canvass. The Re
puhlicans may be said TO have let the
State go by default and centred their
efforts on the legislative contest, and
the result seems to he that they have lost both.
AT this hour 10T " the $50 towns have been heard
from, and they show that Robinson has gained
LIS votes over tho vote cast for Lloyd Greene a
year AGO. In sixty-one towns heard from, the
Democrats elect sixty Representatives, and the
Republicans twenty-eght. The Senate will
probably stand fourteen Democrats TO seven
Republicans. In Hartford, the contest has
been very exciting, owing TO the fact that a
"Citzens' ticket was run, but Mayor SpraGue,
Democrat, Is reelected by 1856 plurality. The
City Governmen however, is Republican. In
Rersolls plurality bids fair to be 5000 about 1000
less than last year.
l1.3O p. MAI this hour II is safe 10 say that
the Democratic majority in the House Of Rep
resentatives will be 90, and ths, they have elect
ed II Of the q Senators. The Republicans
gained two Senatorial districts and lost
two. The Hartford city Government is
tie in both branches, although the
Democrats claim that one member on the Citi-
zens' ticket will vote with them. The returns
