oer CORNECTICUT ELICT. <9 —_—_——————_.. The April Gubervztorial Contest Under Active Disoussion—Governer Jewell Determined to Retire—Active Canvass for a Successor— The People Disgusted with Politics Brivcgrort, Jan. 9,187, ‘Hardly Wave the waves subsided after ‘the late ‘Presidential contest, when we hear the viutterings ef the coming political storm, as t).e time ap- preaches for calling the annua! conver, tions to nom- mate State officers for the April election. The fact hat Governor Jewell has declined, a renomination throws apon the republican party in thts State the task-of nominating for the position a new man, and ‘this f9 a matter of no little imyortance. To prove Suecessful tke new candidate must possess, if not @ecided popularity, at leastmo unpepularity; must excite ng local prejudices, but must be recom- mended, by a record void,’ of polltival offence and troe tothe traditions off the party. The republi- @ansyoarried the State Yandsomely*for Grant, and ave ‘thercfore an advantage whieh it is important fo maintain in the sePection of @ candidate, parti- “eculatly as in a State as close as ‘is Connecticut the ‘turning of «a few Wwindred votes will throw an elec- ton-one “way ar the ether. Abriet glauce at late elections will show how wlosely contested they have been an@ how im- qorsibie it isto judge from them of the future. “We ‘find that inthe Spring-of 1868 English (democrat) “carried the State over Jewell (republican) by about “two thousand majority, on a total vote of over ‘ninety-nine thousand. In the Fail of the same ‘year Grantcarried thesState over'Seymour by over “three theusand majority, on a ‘total vote of over ~ninety-eight thousand. In the Spring election fol- Aowing (that of 1869) Jewell carried the State over English by a majority of over tive huadred, on a total véte of abou: ninety thousand. At the elec- tion’ im the Spring: of 187 Jowell carried the State ever Hubbard (dey nocrat) by’about three thousand, on a’yote of less than ninety thousand, In the Falt Grant beat ¢ irecley by 4,300, on a vote of 96,000, It will thus be’ seen that the. margins are always @mall and ther ¢ is little.certainty either way. The REPUBL iCAN CANDIDATES IN THE FIELD gre numerow;, Among-these is H..B. Harrison, of whew Haveny admitted.to be the local candidate of New Haven county. New London county has al- *Feady two«vandidates in the field, the first to ap- * pear being Henry P. Haven, of New London, late ~ elector ov the republican ticket, and aman of the Buckingtvam school of politics. Norwich has fur- mished (ie second man irom New London county, and rans up the name of John T. Wait, a promi- nent.tewyer and strong republican. 1t is not im- probable that Hartford county will come into the arena with a candidate, altheugh thus far they have kept silent, As the Governor fer the last four- ‘een years has been taken from New London, Hartford or New Haven county, Fairfield county, and with it the southern and western por- tions of the State, embracing Litchfield county, Will press their claim, Fairfield and Litchfield counties, constituting the Fourth Congressional istrict, Wili undoubtedly unite thelr forces, being bound in @ common interest and by a common bond, There.are many republicans in these coun- tics, and indeed the State over, who would be jeased to see the nomination of the present State treasurer, David P. Nichols, of Danbury, for Gov- ernor in place of Governor Jewell. Mr. Nichols has an enviable record as Treasurer of the State, and has invariably received the largest vote of any Man on the republican State ticket, He would make a strong candidate, one whose record would be excellent, but he prefers to remain Treasurer and the public needs seem to demand that he should retain that een if any, 60 that it is pubtiul if he would accept the nomination for Governor. Nexton the list, and indeed of equal claim and importance, stands Amos 8. Treat, of Bridgeport, late Speaker of the House and a lawyer of reputation. Fuirfleld county is esvecially pre- pared to press the claims of this candidate, and in doing #0 Will probably receive the hearty co-oper- suon of Litehteld county, as the following extract from arecent number Oi the Litchfiela Anquirer will Bn0W :— In the Western part of Connecticut no candidate has en put forward; but in due time it will appear that teniield aud Fairtield counties will have something to tay, Litchtield ix generally modest and backward in presenting her elaims, although she has several gentle- men of ability who would consent to be candidates. Mr. Am at, of Bridgeport, the Speaker of the House, an able, upright jurist aud legislator, would be. rhaps, as acceptable acandidate as can'be name From the Fourth Congressional district. ‘He was ‘oue of the best Speakers the House has ever bad, make a fret ri judge or Governor. N THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE. Itis not probable that Richard Hubbard, of Hart- ford, will run again for Governor, nor are there among the “liberal” accessions to the ranks of that party any names of sufficient prominence to de- mand special mention. On this side Fairfield and Litchfield counties will also demand te be heard, aud that the nomination, heretofore held so long by the central counties, should be given to those which help to win democratic victories, when they are won by important and indispensable assist- nce. The names already talked of from this dis- trict are those of William H. Barnum, the present cumbent in Congress, and N. H. Wheeler, of Fidgeport, for several years @ prominent member the Legislature. As Congressmen are to be @iected in the Spring the contest will possess more ‘uan usual interest, and it is not improbable that should Mr. Barnum prefer to remain at home he miay-rup for Governor, and Mr. Wheeler take his ace as candidate ior sO eheer It is more than Kely that vue matter will be settled between the two gentlemen named, although J. H. Olmstead, of Ptamierd, a iawyer o! note, and also @ promineut Anember of the Legisiature, is pressed by lis sec- ‘tion as @ proper successor of Mr. Barnum for Con- yess should that geutleman decline a renomina- fen. Ip the event of Mr. Olmstead’s nomination, m rather remote coutungency, it is not mmpussible Anat Colonel H. W. K. Loyt, of Greenwich, may ve Fou against him on the republican ticket. ft is uuiversally conceded that could the democrats rauade William D. Bishop, President of the New ork, New Haven and Hartford Railread, to be- ®owe their candidate, he would be by far the most ailable man, beth for ability and popularity, in e State; but as his business demands his con- #. ant attention there is littic hope oi his accepting te nomination, should it he teudered bin, As - asual, there will be A TEMPERANCE CANDIDADATB «in the field, and if Francis Gillette is not renominated by that faction it ig probable that Jabney Carr, of Bridgeport, will carry of the dry hod somewhat empty honors, The temperance anvovement has, however, ceased to be a bugbear to and would ether party. Ip the meantime the people are getting SICK OF ELECTIONS. After that in April next we shalt have had Within twelve moutks three tmportant contests, each of which has in turn interfered materially With business, disarranged temporarily the indus. Ties of the State and engendered the unheaitay | condiwons attendant upon pelitical strife and party rancor. There is a movement to remodel eur eiechon Jaws and to do away with the evil in some degree by Jengtuening the Gubernatorial term and Changing the time for elections. An effort will be made+o accomplish this through @ constitutienal convention i it 1s not done through the veguiar Tegitiative channels beiore, dle popular sentiment on this head is well ex- preesed in the following extract from the Hartic Courant (Goveraor limwiey’s paper) of a iate date :-- hi will bos relief to our citizens when our Sta! Msareinade biennial, and the state and tow ms are brought together inthe Vall, The fi of our clecdpns has become an intolerable nuiance.

ALBANY, Jan. 10, 1873. The Senate resumed the hearing of the argument in the case of Judge Curtis, Mr. Olney continuing his summing up on the part of the prosecution. At the conclusion of Mr. Olney’s argument on be- half of the prosecution in the case of Judge Curtis, of the New York Marine Court, Judge Cochrane, of counsel for the defence, proceeded to sum up, and spoke at length to the effect that there was NOT AN IOTA OF EVIDENCE showing that Judge Curtis was guilty of anything corrupt or of maladministration in oillce. After Judge Cochrane had concluded, Senator Benedict moved to postpone any further consider ation of the case, which was lost—8 to 14, Mr. Henry Smith, of counsel for the defence, then proceeded with his argument, claiming that the defendant, instead cf being the corrupt judge he is charged with being, was HK CHAMPION OF PURITY ON THE BENCH of his Court, and on this account had encountered the enmity of his associates. He then proceeded to review the testimony. to show that it was clearly proven that, so faras the partnership was con- cerned, the moment he learned of the passage of the law prohibiting judges trom practising in their Courts he retired from that partnership, thus show- ing that ne was quick to obey the law. Counsel also passed in review the other charges, with a view to showing that the defendant was guiltless. On the conclusion of his address the Senate took @ recess until tour P, M.

Governor Baker’s Last Message. to the Legislature—Foreign and Domestic Debts of the State—Recomm: tions in Reference to the Educational Estab-, Mshments, INDIANAPOLIS, Jan, 10, 1°79, Governor Baker delivered his last message to the General Assembly this afternoon. The foreign debt of the State is reported as follows:—Amount ef five per cent State stock, as under the adjustment of 1867, $32,869; amount of two and a has per cents, $4,060; amount of war loan bonds, ise‘aed under the legislation of 1861, still outstanding, ‘$139,000; tozal, $175,930—to which must be addef! tke amount of ‘old bonds issued prior te 1841, payment of which is Provided for by act approved, Deeember 12, 1872, and interest accrued thereon, making a total of $669,000 on this score, and a grand total of $744,930. The domestic debt of the State consists of non- negotiable bonds of the State, issued to its own sckool fund, tothe amount of $3,906,906, the inter- est of this being pledged to schools, It is really no debt at all, in the ordinary acceptance of the term, but a¥vond that the State shail pay so mach into the school fund.

City ‘ot Rochester—Error to the New York Court of Appeals.—In this case the city levied a tax on $100,000 of the capital stock of the bank invested im governmeut securities and deposited with the Superintendent ofthe Banking Department as se- curity for the circulating notes of the bank. The bank claimed that the securities were not lable; but'the city insisted, and proposed to issue war- rauts tor the collection of the tax. Thereupon the ‘bank suggested that if the city would, by its Coun- cil, pass an ordinance receiving the amount of the tax as under protest, it would bay. Ths was done, the bank patd the tax and brought this suit to recover the amount. The State Court, cen that the tax was bg held that the bank ha mistaken its remedy, which should have been by @ proceeding to correct an error in the assess- ment, and not by suit to recover the amount, The judgment was therefore for the city, and the bank bare} the case here, insisting that whatever reme: might have been taken to correct the assessmen’ the tax having been illegally imposed and col- lected may be recovered back. The defendant in error contends that the judgment being merely on the question of the proper remedy, there is no question for review here. Theodore Bacon for Plaintiff in error; G. W. Miller for defendant, No. 93, Williams, Collector, &c., vs, Reynolds, Trustee—Error to the Circuit Court for the District of Indiana,—This was a suit by Reynolds, as trus- tee of the Lafayette and Indianapolis Railroad Company, to recover back a revenue ‘tax, paid under protest, levied on the surplus earnings of the road, which were invested in government bonds, claiming that they were not annual earn- ings for the year, but the surplus earnings of the road for several years, allof which had paid the government tax. The Court below held that the tax was illegal, and the judgment was for the trustee. The collector brings the case here, claim- ing that the Court below was without jurisdiction of the case, as both parties to it were citizens of the same State. This is the only question now pre- sented by the writ of error. C, H. Hill for the SSD ERS; McDonald and Roche for the de- fendant, No, 94, Dickerson, Executor, vs. Planters’ Bank of Tennessee—Error to the Cireuit Court for the District of Tennessee.—This was an action brought | by the executor to recover the amount of a check drawn by the Planters’ Bank, located at Nashville, on the Bank of Virginia, at Richmond, in favor of the testator, who died in Virginia the day subse- ment to the date of the check, The check was lated November 14, 1861, but in consequence of the war it was over three years before the exe- cutor could obtain his father’s will, qualify under it as executor and as such officer present the check for payment. The bank was then in- solvent and the mete was not paid, Notice of non-payment and protest were at once (after the war) deposited in the Richmond Post Oflice, addressed to the Planters’ Bank, but, by mistake of the notary, not addressed to the bank at Nashville—simply to the bank— Tennessee. The Court below held that the check ‘Was not presented in time, and that even if it-had been the notice of presentation and non-payment was not proneciy given in consequence of the mis- take of the notary. It is here contended that the check was presented in time, because as soon as it was possible it could be done; and second, that, under the circumstances, it was fair for the jury to presume the notice reached Nashville.
