The energetic and indomitable editor
of the Democrat ascertained Yesterday
that English, the candidate for Governor
of Connecticut, had been elected by an
overwhelming majority of few hun
dred, and the Democratic rooster will
no doubt crow and flap his wings in
terrific manner, over this great change
in the temper of the wooden nutmeg
manufacturers. There are some facts
connected with this election that may be
pertinent to mention. James E. English,
the successful candidate, is one of the
wealthiest men in the State, owning
large manufactures, and employing
nearly one thousand operatives. He has
been member of Congress, and an un-
compromising war Democrat He ran
for Governor against Hawley, in '6G and
was only beaten by 541 votes The Re
publicans still have a majority of five in
the State Senate, and 40 in the House,
making a majority of 40 on a joint
ballot. That's as good thing as we
want, in the State that gave Lincoln the
smallest majority that he received in the
last Presidential election, and as offset,
we have 1000 gain in Cincinnati over
last fall the entire Republican ticket is
elected in Dayton, and St. Louis elected
a Radical Mayor by 1,5O0 majority. We

The riot that occurred in San Francisco
some weeks ago, in which some three or
four hundred white laborers attacked


and dispersed the Chinese laborers, and
the subsequent trial and sentence of the
ring-leaders, has suddenly sprung a new
issue in California politics, and furnishes
a prolific theme for the press. In the
principal cities and towns of the State,
meetings are being held, resolutions
passed protesting against Chinese labor,
and the platform of local politics is
Coolie and anti-Coolie. While the oppo-
sition press disclaim making it a party
issue, the recent election in Sacramento
defines clearly that the Democracy there
made anti-Coolie" their strong suit.
and still lost the election. This newly
sprung, outspoken hostility to the Chi
nese is based upon the belief that they
will eventually starve out the balance
of the laboring class, diminish the immi-
grafton of other nationalities, and exert
an evil influence upon the State. The
recent establishment of q steamship line
to China, affording them a regular and
direct means of reaching America. is
looked upon as Indicative of an unprece-
dented influx of Mongolians, unless some
means are taken to prevent it. The
Chinese in California number about sixty
five thousand. Hitherto they have not
come into actual competition with white
laborers, except in menial occupations,
and on the Ceutral Pacific Railroad,
which last year employed ten thousand
of them, at wages for which other labor
ers could not live. This year. the Com
pany propose TO employ double that
number. The ground is taken that the
Company found it impossible to obtain
white labor, and the anti-Coolies retort
that the reason of this was because the
rate of wages was based upon the amount
for which Coolies could be employed.
We believe that the conduct of this work
is mercenary and not in harmony with
the spirit of Congress, who gave them
liberal grants of lands and moneys, based


upon the estimated cost OF construction


by white labor. If We recollect Alright
it was also proviso of the act that the
road should be constructed entirely OF
American iron. We are opposed, upon
principle, TO the importation of Chinese
into this country. They are manifest

their labor has tendency to depreciate
wages. and crushes the laboring classes

FAR AWAY.
IT'S past-but yet see it still,


That sunshine on the shore;
The roses on the window sill;


The ivy round the door;
The light and shadow fitting round


Each old familiar tree,
Along the line of grassy ground


That slopes towards the sea;
And through the western windows low


The setting sunbeams pour,
And fit and flicker to and fro


Upon the matted floor.
The little porch-I see it yet
Where summer flowers twine,
And all their fragrant blossoms net


With leaves of glossy vine.
And with their sweetness stealeth slow


A thought of hours gone by,
All lighted with golden glow


Of sunset in the sky;
And memories of the pathway fair


That wound along the bay,
And of one sweet hour wasted there


One blessed summer day.
One little hour, along the shore,


AS arm in arm we strayed,
And listened to the ceaseless roar
The restless waters made;
And watched the shadows in the deep,


The sunlight on the land,
And saw the tiny wavelets creep


To kiss the golden sand
Till all the glory seemed to die,


And daylight was no more
And darkness crept along the sky,


And silence on the shore.
That hour is past-it came and fed


AS all life's beauties will.
The roses-they are long since dead


Upon the window sill
The little porch is lying low,


The shore is far away,
And other eyes may watch the glow
And sunset in the bay
And where the shining pathway CLEANS,
And on the golden sand,
Now other hearts may dream their dreams,
And other feet may stand.
And softer sounds may come and go


Upon the summer air;
And other lips may whisper low


The words we whispered there;
And other roses climb the wall,


And wreathe the self-same spot
And blush at other VOWS let fall


Like those that we-forgot.
But never shall an hour SO bright


Return to her or me,
AS that which left us when the light

The speech of M. Theirs on the foreign rela-
lions of France In the Corps Legislatif is
characterized by the usual ability and more
than the usual insincerity Of that slippery
statesman. His impeachment of the Emperor's
course in regard to Italy and Germany reads
curiously when we recollect how startled both
France and England were by his ambitious
advocate of progress; but when progress is
contrary to his personal interests there is no
greater reactionist. His finely rounded phrases
on the advantages Of the political equilibrium
induce smile. They do very well to serve an
oratorical purpose, but they carry no convic.
ton with them. The doctrine of the balance
6 power received its deathblow when Louis
Napoleon seized upon the French throne. His
success in getting that act of us0rpation con-
frmed almost unanimously by the people gave
him full latitude to carry out the policy in
regard to the treaties of 1915, which he
had enunciated in his previous writings.
That he should allow the doctrine which
had brought sucn shame upon the foreign
policy of France under Louis Philippe to
stand in his way was not to be expected. His
course has accordingly been marked by an
inter disregard of it, and if in some instances
he has failed to carry out his own policy his
failures have not contributed so much to the
injury and humiliation Of France as the
blunders committed under the system 80 much
lauded by NJ. Tbiers. II must never be for
gotten IN considering this question that the
theory Of the political equilibrium has been
made to subserye the interests and safely guard
the existence of the worst despotisms that have
cursed Europe. So long as its prescriptions
were strictly observed it became impossible

moro upon popular support than they
have hitherto done. This may seem para
doxical, but il Is not the less true. France
herself is a partial example, and Germany,

illustrate the force of the remark. In both the
Systems which have replaced the old fashioned
despotisms have already given to the masses

A special dispatch to the Times, dated yes
terday, says that the House reconstruction
committee had a session this morning and
promptly agreed upon bill to be reported on
Monday, as follows:-Section 1 declares the
true intent and meaning of Congress to have
been that the provisional governments hereto
fore existing in the rebel States are illegal and
void, and that they were to be continued sui
ject in all respects to the military commanders
and the authority of Congress only. Section 2
provides that the act to which this is supple
mental, and also that of March 23d, shall be
construed to authorize the military command
ers, whenever they deem it necessary, to re-
move or suspend any officers, State or munich
pal, exercising authority by virtue of such prC-
visionial government, and to appoint others to
their places; and that such commanders shall
also have power to prohibit, suspend or set
aside any act of such governments or of any
subordinate authority thereof the intent of
the aforesaid acts being that such governments
shall continue subordinate to the military, and
all acts done by such commanders shall be
deemed valid. Section 3provides that Boards
of Registration shall admit to registry only
such persons as they shall deem entitled to
registration under the provisions of the acts
aforesaid; taking the oath provided by the act
of March Sd shall not be regarded as conclu-
sive of the right of registration but prima
facie evidence only, and they may receive such
evidence under oath as they may deem proper
from persons applying to be registered or
others. Boards OF Registration may strike
from the lists the name of persons already reg
istered who, in their Judgment, improperly
took the oath was not entitled to be regis
tered, and they shall not be bound or governed
in their action by any opinion OF any officer of
the United States Government Record evil,
dence to prove participation in the rebellion on
the part of those applying for registration shall
not be required. Parole evidence shall be suf-
fcient Section provides that no civil Couit
of the United States or Of any State shall have
jurisdiction OF any proceeding, civil or crin-
nal, against any such district commander for
any official act done under these acts. Section
declares that no district commander shall be
removed from the command assigned to him
without the advice and consent Of the Senate.

THE CRY LIMITs.-The bill for the ex-
tension of the limits Of the city of Rich
mond was before the House of Delegates
Yesterday, and was briefly discussed until
the occurrence of the order of the day
upon the bill for the completion of the
Covington and Ohio railroad thrust it aside.
Mr.. White had moved an amendment to
require the consent Of the people of Hen
rico and the city of Richmond before the
law should take effect. In the course of
the debate it was stated by Mr.. Evans that
he had been informed by the member from
Page, Mr.. Dawson, that the limits of the
city had been twice extended-a fact we
were not aware of. 1t was certainly prior
to 1882. He remarked that in neither case
was the vote Of the county or the city re-
quired as q condition precedent to the eX-
tension. We imagine the bill will pass with
out Mr., Whites amendment, which would
be manifestly so completely defeat
of it that no house disposed to pass it
would put such an amendment upon it..
Every one knows that suburbans are ever
opposed to the extension Of the limits of
cities; and every one knows that for order,
health, peace, and the general welfare, it

should be extended to include densely
settled suburbs that are without municipal
government, and that are ever opposing
difficulties in the way of police and health
regulations for the protection of the larger
population of the cities. So that the ne
cessity being admitted, it would be folly to
deny that it must override the opposition
which every one knows will be made to
the extension. 1t must be done without
any voting at the polls upon it, or it never
will be done. So it has always been.
