From the Hartford Courant
fax about purchasing an elegant Hart
ford place a. an Executive Mansion for
Connecticut il utterly ridiculous The
resolution that bought fine house, to be
furnished free to the Governor, should De
accompanied by other resolutions proyid-
my suitable Tree quarters for the Lieuteb
ant-Uoyernor, for both branches Of the
Legislature and for all others ia author
itv.H No Governor should be compelled
his meaus, and, as the Governor Of Con-
necticut is often a poor man, board and
clothes, horses servants, carriages and
other lu1uI ies should also be furnished

lunch counter IN the State House for all
others in the service Of Connecticut
All Americans who love simplicity Of
manners and truly republican style OF liv
ing cannot fail to endorse the views Of the
Connecticut editor. We do not need the
European ways Of building palaces for
the people and it Is better to allow them
to select their own houses, to provide
their own furniture and carriages, and
thus get on very much like the rest of US.
1t is we'll to provide them -uificient sila-
ries, but the rest of their agencies Of liv-
ing had better BE- Of their own Selection
As to the uncertainties and failures Of
the postal service in the East, the public
has had many sad experiences for the
past eighteen months Equally like COIN
plants are coming ID from the West.
These complaints are doubtless well
grounded III a majority Of cases, but the
sufferers should be patient. On the 4th
OF March, measure will be provided for
restoring the entire postal system to the
high level Of efficiency in which the Re-
publicans left it four years ago, aud in a
little while the public will find nothing in
the service to grumbie about,
