We notice that the contempt cases, so long argued ia the District Court, have finally resulted in sentences of ine and imprisonment
 fur all parties concerned. The cases arose in this wlse: 4 quantity of liquor was seized in
 Winsted and placed in the cellar of the Rev.
 Mr. Forbes Certain Bridgeport dealers claim cd them. and the instice before. whom the
 matter came for trial decided against their claim Appeal wss taken 10 the District Court; but. before the appeal papers had been nled. the Bridgeport men. with Sheriff Chat neld, of Thomaston, came up and removed the liquors on pretended process which turned out to bs utterly void. All the parties concern ed
 were brought before Judge Fyler On process, for contempt in saeddling with property in constructive possession of the Court After many dilatory defences the matter came to trial on it's merits, with the result before men. tioDed. The chief matter argued in defence was. ss we hear, that the liquors had not yet come into custody of the Court at the time of their taking by the Chat6eld party. The case nov goes uP to the Supreme Court for final

 The formal announcement by the British Ministry of dissolution of Parliament on the 23rd inst, compels the election of new par liament immediately after the dissolution. For the next few weeks Great Britain will be convulsed with the excitement of an election which will determine whether there is to be Tory or Liberal government for another SIX or seven years. Our sympathies are with the Liberals but we doubt their ability to over throw an administration whose Jingoism is popular with the. aristocracv and has unques- tlonably won favor with the monied classes by that appearance of strength which they always so greatly admire. The solid middle class of that country has no faith in Beacons- field, and will work hard for restoration of Gladstone, but they have an uphill battle to fight. Ate f .....-.... ....

 the question of free passes for legislators re- minds us of the pictures of the scared farmers wife entertaining the truculent tramp in the days before our glorious statute extinguished these wayfarers.

publicanism is a failure, and that the times are ripe for an American Caesar. There will be no such emergency. We submit that the Garcelon business has not been so successful ID Augusta that it is likely to be tried on a larger scale in Washington. If Bourbon Democracy ever meant to fight for a presidency, it would have fought in 1877. It will never have so good chance again.
 Even if the country needed Cesar, we doubt whether it would find one in Grant If he were such, his first real business would be to make the Conklings and Camerons, now his masters, his servants a revolution which we feel confident is the last Mr. Conkling, at least, expects Gen. Grant seems to us, on the other hand, the kind of person who enjoys, indeed, the honors and emoluments, but inclines to shirk the work, of high civil position. There is none of that engine capacity for la- Dor shown by your real Cesar or Napoleon. Mir. Conkling likes Grant, because, while hold ing the appearance of power. he has been will ing to give over the substance to the Senate rial Junto. Gen. Grant likes Mir. Conkling because he has saved him vast amount of trouble by taking charge of all the New York appointments.
 It is because we believe that Gen. Grant is man nho negiects the real business of ad- ministratiou thst we continue to have faith in his personal honesty. No able administrator of affairs would ever have been % surrounded with Murphys and Shepherds and Babcocks unless he had been himself corrupt. We have attributed his evil associations, however, to social tastes such as man of dissipated habits which at one period of his life Grant certain. ly was--is apt to acquire. A certain planted moral sense, probably relic of the same evil period, is also plainly perceptible at times h short, Gen. Grant has deserved both very well and very i'll of his country.
