Litchfield enquirer., 1880-04-15

The Springfield Republican expects that, in case of Grants nomination at Chicago, the St. Louis convention will offer the candidate about which the independent vote is like to rally:
 MT. Henderson's anti-third- term convention at St. Louis is good way out West,- but it will be attended by strong delegations from the East. Massachusetts being represented, and may be depended upon to organize an i'm posing demonstration where it is most needed against breaking over wise national habit. Truly the independents have only begun to fight. Overriden at the caucuses and in the Chicago convention. they will not submit to what is felt to be deliberate outrage of Re- publidan precedent, and wanton returning to the scandals ofa disgraceful period of party history. The opposition to Grant is deter mined, and can be destructive. It is for the Republicans of New England to advise that all the strength of the party be conserved by the nomination of Senator Edmunds
Litchfield enquirer., 1880-04-15

What they dld not do was to give warning of the danger of Grants nomination. It was not an easy thing for political convention to do; perhaps it was impossible; but unquestiona- bly,, che most important fact of the political situation in Connecticut, today, is the utter impossibility of carrying the State for Grant against any fair Democratic nominee. Yet the record of the convention nowhere indicates this controlling fact
 We refer more particularly to Gen. Grant because he seems to us the only objectionable candidate likely to succeed at Chicago. It would seem impossible tor Blaine to compass the nomination. But if, ss now seems con- ceeded, Grant is to have to forty-two votes of Illinois, he will need but three quarters of the southernGOte to be sure of his nomination. In fact the whole matter hinges on the Southern delegations. If they go solid, or nearly solid, for Grant, the catastrophe can hardly be avoided. If Sherman and other candidates can attract third of that element, Grants defeat will be apparently assured. It is getting tipe therefore for States opposed to Grant to speak out very plainly.
 Another danger to Grant is also looming up in the Southern Democratic opposition to Tilden. This is not only out-spoken but de- liant, and, with the unhealed division in New York, leaves that veteran intriguer very little chance of the two thirds vote without which a Democrat cannot secure nomination. The Washington correspondent of the Springfield Republican ayers that Tilden has no chance Of forcing his own nomination, but that he can and will dictate the nominee of the conven ton, and that the man he specially favors is Henry B. Payne, of Ohio. Should the nomi. nation of Iflden really become impossible, the nomination of Grant or of Blaine can hardly fail to lead to sure Republican defeat.
 Whatever may be the final result the work Of Connecticut is now substantially dons. She

IN MEMORY OF LITTLE JENNIE

The little star" that shed such halo Of
beauty and brightness OIL all around, flashed
forth in all its brilliance, and then disappeared
Bright and gifted little Jennie" beloved by
all; you have returned to the Father who ONLY
teamed you to this earth, to gladden. the hearts
OF that nome circle, and then, recalled to the
better home in the Beyond.
Little sleeper, your mission was grandly. nobly
flled, you have won a victory, ana now only
awaits the coming OF the others. to make the
circle in Heaven complete.
Parents mourn not-she cannot, would not
return-bnt you can 60 to her.
Her little feet were weary, the path that Law
before her was long and rugged. God could not
leave her here to br'lise tn tender little form.
Heaven > gates were open and the little one
ono has jnst entered. Blessed are the pure in
heart for they shall see Heaveup' Jennie
heard the voice, and after bold and courageous
effort to cling to life has followed the band that
surrounded tho Eternal Throne. Angels hands
have guided her home, Christ whispered, Fear
not, tor am with thee"
The evening shades drew nigh, and on the
sign.post tho unseen BY us, it still was therc)
"All that are weary. come unto me, enter the
gates, and will give thee rest" Could the
little sufferer resist that call and refuse the
haven Of rest She calmly folded her little
hands and after the one strong but loving call
upon the two she loved best-her mamma and
Papa, " little Jennie drew long sigh and left
all lonely and broken hearted here.
Her spirit is living, she is not dead, but
sleeps, and the coffin but holds the casket; tho
jewel" is in the immortal crown Peace and

DEATH OF SYLVESTER Il. DAy1s.-At
O'Clock, this afternoon, the mortal re-
mains OF this good citizen, honest man
and planter, will be entombed at the
Magnolia Cemetery. Mr.. Davis was an
old resident of this parish, among whose
inhabitants he numbered hosts of
friends We extend our condolences to
his bcreaved relatives.
The victory at Bull Run, it has often
been asserted, would have brought, had it
been followed up, the glorious Stars and
Bars into Washington city and perhaps
have ended the war in favor of the
South. The reason why this was not
done is because the Confedcrates had
engaged all their forces in the battle
and when the victory was won, our
Generals had no fresh reserves with
whom to press the rctrcating foe. Though
some may deem the comparison far
fetched, still there is a great deal of
similarity between war and business.
At least Roseniiell, tho dashing dry
goods man, thinks SO. Having inaugu-
rated boom calculated to demoralizc
the opposition, through last weeks CAP.

in columns Of battalions at half distance.
