The Connecticut Election.
The latest returns from Connecticut
though conflicting, seem to indicate
that neither candidate has been elected
by the people, and that it will devolve
upon the Legislature to make the se
lection. In that event, Jewell, the re
publican nominee will most probably
be the man.
English the present democratic incum
bent received a majority of twenty
votes over his opponent, and that the
republican vote was augmented by the
almost entire negro vote of ten to fif
teen hundred, the result may be re
garded, if not a Democratic victory, at
least, a sure indication that she will
give her electoral vote for the Demo
cratic president of 1872. Alarmed by
the returning loyalty of New Hampshire
as evinced by the Democratic victory
English was with the Grantite» a for
lorn hope and consequently vast amount
of money were used by the Republicans
for that purpose. The Legislature is
still republican though its majority was

Ruining tlie Country to Pay its Debts
Before it 1« Due.
The Tribune rejoices at the fact that
the Secretary of the Treasury has paid
more than eleven million dollars of the
of
f
national debt during the month of
Meroh, making two hundred and fif
teen millions paid since Mr. Boutwell
took office.
O," exclaims Mr. Gree
ley—''0 that we might keep on paying
at this rate till the last dollar was wiped
out, as it might be in 1er, than twenty
Yes and every man now in

business in the Unitod States would be
wiped eut with it; tbe poor would be
ground down into inextricable poverty
and wretchedness; and all tho property
in the country would belong to a few
stony-souled men, whose wealth would
be counted by hundreds of millions.
Paying your debts when they are
due is well; but robbing the poor in
orcter to pay them before they are due
is folly. The war against the rebel
lion was not waged for th. benefit of
the present generation alone, and none
but a madman would desire to force
upon the present generation the whole
payment of cost. However, Mr. Gree
ley's notions have prevailed in the le
gislation of the last Congress and of
that now in session. They have done
nothing to take off tho grjat burdens
that are destroying the industry and
business of the country, and the Re
publican party will bavo to bear the
consequences.
Does Mr. Greeley remember the
great political revolution of 1840, by
which the Democracy were wiped out ?
That revolution grew out of financial
distress, out of the stagnation of busi
ness, the stoppage of manufactories,
the turning out of employment of my
riads of laboring men. Such a condi
fton of things is now upon us, and its
effect will in due time be made mani

Grace Greenwoods Lecture.—O n
Wednesday eve.'ûn?» th« Town Ilall, in
this town, was co:nh"*rtably filled by an
intelligent and appreciative audience, to
hear the above-named brilliant and re
nowned authoress and It "turer deliver
her justly celebrated ai.'.'i twply inter
esting lecture, "The Heroic iP Common
Life." It would be impoSi'ib»^ to give
any synopsis of her remark« jhat would
convey to our readers an idea of th* true
character of the lecture. Suffice i* to
say, that for an hour and twenty m.'o*
ute«, «he held lier audience completely
entranced, while she portrayed, in glow
ing and pathetic terms, the deeds of true
heroism and valor performed by those
moving in the humbler walks of life,
whose heroic oxplo.ts the historian has
not considered worthy of record, nnd
who, many of them, have gone down to
an obscure grave,
"Unwept, unhonored, and unsung."
Throughout she was listened to with
almost breathless attention by all, caus
ing the tear of sympathy to come to tho
eye, by lier pathetic nnd touching de
scription of some scene of suffering and
sorrow; and anon exciting tho risibili
ties of her hearers to the inmost by her
keen, sparkling Hushes of wit and
castle com monts. The pleasing ad
dress, perfect intonation, and easy, self
posse i manner of the speaker, together
with the brilliant and masterly style in
which she treats her subject, render her
one of tlie most popular lecturers ot tbe
age. While many of our citizens availed
ing this rare literary treat," there" - -
many who did not attend, but who will
doubtless regret it upon hen ring the en
coniums which aro sure tobe pronounc
ed upon the lecture by those present.—
Therefore, we would suggest to the Li
brary Association the propriety of again
securing, at no distant day, another en
gagoment from this most plea slug of fe
male lecturers, feoling sure that all will
avail themselves of the epportunity of
hearing "Grace Greenwood" deliver her
ever charming, popular and pleasing lee
tore,—"The Heroic in Common Life."—
Let us have her in Smyrna again, by ail

On the night referred to Evans hud re
tired unusually e rly. About 8 o'clock
lie was called at the window by Dawson,
who, failing in getting Evans to arise,
hoisted the window by which ho enter
ed. Then opened tho door which was
fastened on the inside and called his
f ither in. They atked Evans if he made
tho assertion reforred to. Evans attain
ed that he did and desired them to
leave his premises and to see him in the
morning when the affair would be set
tled, whereupon the elder Dawson ix
claimed "We wi.l settle it now." and
both father and son laid hold on Evans,
dragged him from bis bed into the street
where they be it and scarred him in the
most outrageous manner. The elder
Dawson struck Evans with n stick
which render him senseless. Tarties
interfered or the uffair might have been
still more serious.
