llcans - he Legislature. and 80 electing
Mr.. MEawIN. the Republican candidate.
Judge MORRIS is recognized as Governor by
the Senate. A Democratic Lleutenant-Gov-
ernor presides over tho Senate. Tho actual
Governor is BULKELEY, tho Republican
hold-over. The Republicans are preparing
for the election Of third Governor. MEn-
WIN. Nobodyis recognized as Governor by
both Houses. There Is nobody whose sigma
ture to a bill would be accepted ns valid
by both Houses.
Judge MoRRIs's majority over all was 80
scanty that the Republicans think 1t can be
ovcrthrown. The Constitution that per-
mits a candidate for Governor, who has re-
ceived, rs Judge MoRKIs has, plurality OF
moro than 1000 votes over his Republican
opponent, to be bilked out OF his election, Is
q disgrace to the State and to the United
States Whatever is the issue Of the contest
now going on in the Legislature, the move
ment for a Constitution which shall estab-
lish popular government in Connecticut will
be helped by 1t. The injustice, the folly, and
the temutation to fraud under the present
system will bo made more evident; and 1t
will not be many years before the people OF
Connecticut will be ashamed of having the
representatives OF rotten boroughs elect
State officers defeated at the polls.

York II Police Justice DUFFY was authorized
by law to inquire into the jurisdiction of tho
Court Of Oyer and Termluer, to pass ju dg-
ment upon defendant sentenced to impris-
onment in that court by Judge BARRETT. or
Judge VAN BRuNT, or Judge BRADY.
Tho constitutional guaranty Of the right
TO the writ Of habeas corpus docs not require
that authority to issue the writ should be
conferred upon inferior judicial officers. and
We doubt whether the power 10 entertain
habeas corpus proceedings has over before
been vested in Justices Of the Peace. The
purpose Of the legislation would seem to bo
rather to interfere with the legitimate juris-
diction Of the higher courts of the Territory
by enabling petty magistrates to release
prisoners legally held In custody under tho
judgments Of tribunals OF general jurisdic-
tion. Congress will be fully justified In the
enactment Of q general law, applicable to all

Tho Disgrace Of Connecticut.

To-day is likely to be vociierous day
under the imitation gilded dome at Hart
ford. Mr.. BULKELEY has issued procla-
nation warning the Connecticut folks
against recognizing the Democratic State
officers whose election has been declared by
the Senate. 1t is the Republican game to
have Mr.. MERwIN. who Is Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor. according to tho Republican theory,
preside over the Senate In place of Mr..
ALsoP. the legally elected Lieutenant-Gov-
crnor. After Mr.. MERwIN has played at
Lieutenant-G Governor, the Republican Jug
glers expect to have him declared Governor.
Tho conspiracy Of the Republicans to keep
out OF Office five legally elected State officers
must renew the Efforts of tho Democrats,
and, we should think. Of all fsir-minded
men in Connecticut, to have the State Con-
stitution amended. A plurality and not a
majority should be sufficient to elect State
officers. The inequalities Of representation
In the Legislature should bo removed.
The determined attempt Of tho Connecti-
cut Republicans to steal tho Governorship
has resulted in the present practical division
of the Legislature into two hostile Legisla.
