The Hartford correspondent of the Spring field Republican makes the following among other remarks on Connecticut politics:
 The exceeding unfairness of the New York Tribune's editorial on Connecticut politics. copied in Wednesdays Republican, excites a good deal of indignation hereabout. Some how or other you have only to say ''Joe Haw- ley" and up goes the Tribune's back like that of an infuriated cat when a dog appears on the scene AS an unprejudiced observer of Conn., ecticut politics, my own opinion is that the republicans will not have the senatorship to quarrel over, next winter, and that, if they do the Hon Henry c. Robinson is, all things considered, the best candidate that they could have for the position. As we'll read as Gen Hawley, he is nearly, If not quite, his equal in eloquence, even more practical as a business man, and mayhap naturally somewhat less 8 partisan; as affable as Gov Jewell, lie is less of politician, at the same time that he con- mands fully as much personal popularity.
 The more independent voters of both parties don't want to send Mir Barnum back to Washington, anddo want to send Richard D. Hubbard, and when they vote fer members of the Legislature, this fall, they will be apt to take this factinto consideration. In the 4th Congressional District it is said that Senator Bishop, of the 10th, president of the Consolidated road, will succeed the pugnacious Warucr, as the democrats want to nominate him, and always have "walk over" down that way.

 -Nichslas Cennoran has smars little i've year-old son.

 A certain young man of this town whose name modesty forbids us to mention has . bad habit of staying out late at night One night last week, some boys in the family wishing to know what time he came home, fixed the back door for him. When the young man re- turned home-sometime after midnight and opened the door, all the sleigh-bells, tin ware, etc., that the house contained came tumbhng 1 about his ears. He took in the situation at once, and continued the concert till the family was pretty thoroughly aroused.

of the advantage the ballot would derive from their enfranchisement.
 In dealing with more important matters, we have left ourselves little space for comment upon Dr. Phelps discovery that woman is much too blood-thirsty to be allowed the bal lot He seems to believe that the late rebel lion is properly attributable, not to the rampant treason of such mild-mannered, considerate persons as the Hon. Robert Tombs and the Hon. Wm. L. Yancey but to the ''mOrdant" sarcasms of Mrs and the Misses Tombs, and Mrs. and the Misses Yancey. No doubt Poliz tics may have it's Lady Maebeths as we'll as Tragedy but if people could feel certain of waiting for the next war till it was voted by American women, we feel pretty sure that the opposition to army reduction would drop into hopeless minority, at once and forever.
 The Litchfeld County District gives little satisfaction, we notice, even to it's friends. After reprinting the list of cases set down for trial at the term beginning on the 23d inst, the New Milford Ray remarks as follows;
 How many of these cases will be reached will depend largely upon the lawyers employed in them. Thus far there have not been cases enough tried at any single term of the Court to justify the expectations raised by the con- struction of that tribunal and if no more bus mess is to be done in the future than has been in the past, it would be we'll to have all cases removed to the Superior Court. The District Court can be made great convenience to the people in this locality, but it has not been so far. The Court has been postponed from it's regular day of meeting to the day named at 9 D. m..

Treating of ''NoRFoLK" in our last weeks county items we made the following rather startling announcements:
 Doctors of Divinity have been rusticating about Norfolk in great numbers. Great inn provements are being made in the cemetery.
 If we had stated that sudden irruptien of Doctors of Medicine into Norfolk had led to ''great improvements being made in the cem- etery," nobody would have been scandalized; j; but the alleged preparation of '.hospitable graves" for innocent Doctors of Divinity calls for explanation. The dominies and the grave yard were originally distinct items; but the unfortunate omission of the dash between them has made an apparent connection which does great injustice to the sound theological views of old Norfolk.
