still more emphatic in. declaring that
the question is whether 's'the rebel
army and the Copperheads of the
North shall have the right to govern
this country" Harrison, of Indiana,
shrieked in the same warlike strain;

question is whether '.the Republican
party shall resign to the Solid South,
headed by Wade Hampton and the Ku-

Northern States calling itself the DEM

night the three principal speeches were
made by Logan, Harrison and Conger;
and all of them were charged with the
war spirit, as though the country
were in the midst of rebellion and
Democrats were rebels and traitors
trying to seize the, Government.
These speeches were not Only unpatriot-

false as they were pernicious, but they
insulted the intelligence of the people
to whom they were addressed. What
do the business men of New York think

that the Republican party is reduced to
desperation, and seizes the bloody shirt
as its last resort? What is it but a
confession on the part of Republican
leaders that they are unable and unwill-

LeEfAIatiYe HearinRa.

Yesterday Judge Beardsley of Hartford | heard the petition of Henry l.. Goodwin, the gentleman from East Hartford, praying for an injunction restraining the Consolidated road from passing free members of the Leg islature over it's road. MT. Goodwin was represented by A. P. Hyde and O. 0. Owen of Hartford and H. c. Robinson of Hartford appeared for the road; President Watrous was also present. At the beginning of the session members of the Legislature were fur nished with half fare tickets, but these were subsequently, changed to free tickets. It will be remembered that four years ago MT. Good win prayed out similar injunction, but the only effect was that General Grant and his party were compelled.to pay their fare over portion of the road. It is understood that MT. Goodwin claims that the granting of passes to the present Legislature was intended to affect their votes upon the bills providing for reduction in passenger rates, but ss the road voluntarily voted last Saturday to make 8 ten per cent. reduction, the bottom would seem to be knocked out of that argument.
 Edward J. Buckingham, of Huntington, doorkeeper in the Legislature, and others testified that the half fare tickets which they received at the beginning of the session had been changed to free passes by MT. Watrous,
 
 Joseph w. Johnson, Representative from East Windsor, said that he had received tick cts of similar import to those received by the last witness. The free ticket was presented by Mr. Watrous without any request from the witness.
 s. G. Blakeman, Representative from Huntington, and Palmer Bill of Norwich, an ex-doorkeeper, testified to the same effect
 MT. Geo. H. Watrous, president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, was next called and stated that he had given MT. Johnson his ticket on Feb. 19, because up to that time he had paid approximately the amount that 8 half fare commutation ticket would have cost between the points named on the ticket.
 On cross examination by MT. Hyde, Presi- dent Watrous stated that MT. Gum, of Mil ford, had bought a half-rate communication ticket previous to the beginning of the session of the Legislature.
 h. reply to question by Mir. Hyde, MT. Watrous stated that the members of the Gen eral Assembly were class of gentlemen en- gagged in high public pursuits, and that they were very inadequately paid. Another reason which the witness said addressed it. self especially to him as 8 railroad man, was that he wanted those people who had the power to apply the knife to his throat to feel kindly disposed to him and not to think that he had been Jewing them. In addition, Mr. Watrous stated that the Governor and other State officers had a free annual pass over the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad.
 MT. Gardner, Representative from the town of Derby in the General Assembly, testified that he had received free pass o5@ s road on January 28th, from MT. WatroIA

A Stolen Diamond Recovered.


 The Thief Closely Followed by the De- tecIives--He is CIeverIy Caught and Acknowledges His Guilt.
 Joseph P. Bronson, who keeps cigar store at 81 Grown street, while in the Quiet House on Court street on the evening of February 4th, lost 8 diamond pin valued at $250, which was taken out of his shirt front while asleep. Before leaving the house he was notified that his pin was miss ing, and believing it to have been stol enDetec- tives Brewer and Reilly were sent for and they searched for the pin. Among others searched was Max Foley, 8 barber, and although not finding anything the detectives felt quite positive that Foley was the thief. Since that time they have watched him closely, and at last have succeeded in fixing the crime upon him. Yesterday Foley gave the pin to man by the name of Charles Paul, with the re- quest that he take 1t to Bronson. Instead of doing this Paul gave the pin to Seymour Cohn, who went to Bronson and told him that he had got his pin, but that it had cost him twenty-five dollars to get it. Bronson forked over the money demanded and was glad to get back his property. He told friend or ms ROOQ 1Ortune anQ Ludt 1Ileuu Ill., formed the police of the circumstances. The detectives then hunted up Oohn and he said he bought the pin for five dollars and the man he had bought it of had gone to New York Being pressed he owned up and said that of the money he got from Bronson he had given ten dollars to Paul to keep for him. call on Paul revealed the fact that he had ffteen dollars of the money which he handed over to the officers. He then acknowledged that Foley brought the pin to him and that he said he took the pin from Bronson, and as the detectives were following him up he wanted to get it back to Bronson, and asked him to help him out. Foley, when arrested last evening, admitted his guilt. Paul was also arrested for being an accessory after kI,o Ca ok

Our Montowese correspondent says The high tides of last week drowned out the muskrats on the salt meadows between this place and Hamden, and hundreds of them have been shot by our sportsmen, assisted by 8 number every tide from Fair Haven. We are sorry to say that some of the amateur sportsmen must have forgotten what day it was yester- day (Sunday,) as the sound of firearms was often heard in the direction of the aforesaid salt meadows by your correspondent. Should this often occur it may be necessary to call out the old guard and inaugurate another raid on the Sabbath breakers
