THAT TIDAL WAVE.

The tidal wave'' which the Democrats have been talking about for so long made it's appearance yesterday. It washed over New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut, and at this time G a. m.) it appears that Massachusetts has not escaped being en- gulfed. Other disasters are reported, and though later news may somewhat modify tEs calamity, it is serious enough. What the complexion of the next House of Represen- tatives will be cannot yet be told, but the Democratic gains already certain are depress ing.
 The full force of the wave was felt in Con- necticut Brilliant" ''erratic" and ''glor- majority Our figures show about 4,000 for him Mr. Eaton was elected to Congress in the First district, Mir. Mitchell in the Second and Mr. Seymour in the Fourth. MT. Waits majority was not as large as it misht reasonably have been expected to be.
 The Legislature has probably been saved
 
 holding over eight are Republican and four Democratic. Of the twelve new ones five, and perhaps six, are Republicans. Our re- turns show that 133 Republicans have been elected to the House and 1o3 Democrats Towns not heard from will send 37 more members, and of these 20 ought to be Re publicans. -
 In New Haven the flood was powerful. It whirled the squabbling and struggling Dem ocrats along without regard to their preju- dices, and landed all the regular nominees safely. Mir. Mitchell held his own in this city better than some thought he would and Messrs Troup and Law rode the waves tri- umphantly.
 The editors of both the Democratic papers in this city were happy last night, and with reason. They have had a stormy experience and have both come safely to port. MT. Par sons, =te whem Mir. Waller in large mea- sure owes his nomination, and who has worked like Trojan for his favorite, will doubtless be suitably rewarded for the faith fulness, pluck and zeal which he has dis- played. MT. Troup may we'll be proud of his success and the vote which he received. He has fought against great odds and won. He thoroughly understands how legislative work is aniR ought to be done and will, we believe, be faithful to the interests of his constitu- ents. He will be, an influential member of the Legislature.
 Finally, VIC again remark that there has been tidal wave, and it is 'tcold day.''
 P. S.-Waller's plurality, with Q few towns to hear from, is ,254. His majority is 8, ,533. In the words of the poet in Patience, ; "Oh Hollow Hollow! Hollow!"

A Sad AcciN en {.

Mr. A. S. Nettleton, for some time em- ployed at the Brewer House and later at Merrills cafe, Hartford, met with an acci- dent Monday night which will probably ter minate fatally. For some weeks he was en- ployed in Meriden, and about midnight attempted to get on board of the cars at that place, intending to spend the day with his wife, who lives at Hartford. Mir Nettle- ton was waiting for the midnight train, and as that came along freight train also stopped. He endeavored to cross the freight train, and, he stepped on 8 bumper, the train started and caught his leg between the two cars. crushing it to jelly The amputation had to be made very near the thigh He was taken to Hartford to the hospital, where, yesterday morning, Dr Wainwright amputated the leg. The shock to MT. Nettleton's system was very severe, as his health has not been very good. The chances of his recovery are doubtful. Mir. Nettleton has 8 number of friends in this city.
