Naw Haven, Conx., Oct. 25.—The board of regis tration in this city has settled a vexed question by Voting to admit Alexander Milne as an elector. Mr. Milne 1s @ theological student at Yale. Ac- cording to the Yale catalogue he is a resident of ‘Westerly, RL But in making bis application to the board he said that he bad been pursuing his ‘Studies in New Haven for four or five years, and considered this place as bis home. He made bis own — Was independent of his parents, There are forty or more other theological students who will now ask to be made voters. Tuey are, almost all of them, republics but the board of registration, which is democratic, feels compelled to let them “in, because of 4 decision of the Su- preme Court of the state, rendered four years ago. A student from Kansas "was refused the privilege Of a vote bere, and brought suit against the board, claiming damages. ‘The court decided that the bouru bad erred ip refusing to admit ere hum no damages. The decision to put Mr. Mil awe On tue list will not be made 2 eran ia the Case of students in the academic at; that would add to republican stren, yy several hundred votes. The work of ‘new voters contioues briskly throughout the state, and tne republicans Claim to be holding their own. Their organization Is Vastiy superior to that of their op- pouent& Here in New Haven, Chairman Du! Of the republican town committee, believes that 45 per cent of the new men thus far placed upon Uhe list are repud.se.ns, Col. N. G, Osborn, editor of the New Haven Reg- ister, just returned home after a coaching tri through Litcnfeid and Fairfield counties, whic! constitute the fourth cougressional district. While on the trip he talked politics ,with farmers and otners. ‘The one thing whic astontshea him was the strength of the purchasable element in the district. Twenty-five per ceut of the voters, he Was informed, were for sale and expect to be Dought. Of tls 25 per cent, 90 per cent are Amer- icans by birth. Votes are quoted at from $5 up- ward. In the town of Sharon, with only 600 bames on the registry list, $3,000 is used ior “campaign purposes” in a presidential year. That 1s about what is used by one of the political parties On election day in New Haven, a city of $0,000 population. In New Miliord,” Litchfield County, the case of a farmer was cited, worth $46,000, He never votes unless paid to do so, His claim is that bis time on election day is worth $5 tobim, and he will not leave bis farm unless assure'i of that amount. A similar state of things exists (hrouglout tue district, and to some extent im the country towns in Eastern Connecticut. ‘There ts compuratively Uitte buying of votes in the cities. ‘The betting on the general result is even in this city and quite lively of late. Oads have been given in ‘some instances that Harrison will carry Cop- necticut, ‘The fourth congressional district ts exceedingly close.

"He is a close friend aud business associate of Win. H. Barnum, chairman of the democratic national commitvee, and like him a protectionist. EW. Seymour, the democratic candidate, 1s a pronounced advocate of tariff reform, and Was forced out of the race two Years ago because of bis support in the Forty~ Dinth Congressof the Morrison bul. It was feared by democratic leaders that he would lose votes in Danbury and South Norwalk, where the batters control elections, because of his tariff views, He 4s one of the ablest lawyers and debaters in the state, and would have been nominated for gover- nor this year had be been Willing to run.

New Yore, Oct. 25.—A New Haven, Conn., spe- cial says: Dantel Hand, an aged and wealthy resi- dent of Guilford, near this city, has given to the American Missionary Association of New York city the sum of $1,000,000 to be held in trust by the association and” the in- Lerest to be devoted to the education of colored ple in the old slave states of the South. Fie association 1s" to have “unrestricted charge of the expenditure of the interest except that it must be devoted to the education of such colored le as are needed and indigent, and such as by their health, strength, and vigor of body and mind give indications of’ efficiency and usefulness in after life. Mr. Daniel Hand, the donor of this noble gift, Was a grocer in Charleston, S. C., before the war and being of Northern sentiments was forced to fly to the North when the war broke out, leavi all of bis property, of about $130,000 in charge W. Williams, bis confidential clerk and @ Southerner. ‘Mr. Wiliams used the property profitably dur the war, and, by invesument in Southern pins lands, Decame very rich. Six years ago Jui of New Haven, counsel tor Mr. Luzon B. Mc Hand, advised the latter to seek a settlement with Mr, Williams, Mr. Williams came to New Haven and hon- orabiy paid up the original sum and interest amounting to $648,000, vending on tue” last in- stalment two years ago. This amount with the accrued interest forms the great bulk of the sum now returned to the South by Mr. Hand. Under the terms of the trust not more than $100 4s to be expended for the education of any single colored person. —_+__ A Death at Fort Monroe.

He has been stationed so long tn this city that he 1s Well known here. All of the members of the court wear badges of ctape upon their left arms in re- Spect to the memory ol General Sheridan.
