THE Republicans of Connecticut are growing more confident. The Hartford Courant, which bristles with campaign paragraphs, says the prospects are growing more and more encouraging.

IT is predicted that the result of the Ku-klux outrages in the South will be to disperse many of the negroes over the North, and crowd the balance of them into dense colored communities in the South where they will be able to protect themselves.

A LETTER in the Cincinnati Commercial says: "The Democracy of Ohio are evi dently preparing to run a strong and pop ular ticket. Many of them want Pendleton at the head of it. But opposition t* him is manifesting itself in an unexpect ed quarter and a strong movement is on foot to make Mr. Groesbeck the Democratic candidate for Governor. I think it will succeed.".

THE Louisville Commercial says: "Senator Stevenson's assertion that the men who assaulted Gibson, the colored mail agent, at North Benson, were Republicans, is disgraceful to him as a man of sense, as a gentleman, and as a Senator, and his insinuation that they were Federal soldiers who were disappointed because they did not get Gibson's place, is a foul slander upon them, which we hurl back with scorn and contempt."

THE Eastern papers announce that, with the coming summer, we are to have a revival of yachting as well as of the national game. Not satisfied with the laurels won in beating the "Dauntless" across the Atlantic, the amiable and persevering Mr. Asbury is building new vessel, with which he expects to recover the Queen's cup, and the important trophies gained by American craft in the sailing contests of last year. Our own yachtmen are not idle, and new vessels are now being built with an eye single to speed, so that the coming British candidate for national honors will be met with all the latest improvements in fast sailing that can be devised by practiced American seamen and shipbuilders. These international aquatic trials of speed are not only a manly and healthy pastime, but tend to the improvement of marine architecture and skillful seamanship.

AN individual by the name of George P. Edgar has issued the prospectus of a newspaper to be published in New York and to be called the National Agitator. Its object, he says, will be to defend "our public schools with the Bible in them," and to advocate that intelligent men of native birth should rule (from the Presidedt to the policeman) rather than the sons of that island whose sole political creed is "down with the nagar and the Chinamen." The Chicago Republican thinks Mr. Edgar will find it very difficult to popularize a newspaper the creed of which is opposition to the religion and nationality of a particular sect and race. If we didn't know him, we might fear in his advent the reintroduction of KnowNothingism into the politics of the country. But those who, with us, enjoy his acquaintance, will be prepared for nothing more formidable than a short lived "emission of & very inferior order of gas. |George P. Edgar is a very third-class «ort of blatherskite. »***«•.

Fair atid Unfair Opposition. landt, and others aridUtfyond and erWe may appeal to any fair minded per- ceeding these were the Bouwerie and son to decide whether the opposition other possessions of the Stuyvesants, who which the Republican party and the Administration have lately encountered does not pass the legitimate bounds of political discussion. Everybody knows that a public man must make up his mind to be exposed to a good deal of sharp criticism. He is quite certain to oifend a good many persons from the start, and some of these persons will in all probability be able to find access to the columns of a newspaper, and take goo8 care to throw as much dirt as they pesubly can. He will also have adversaries of a much viler kind, who will turn innocent actions into crimes, invent all kinds of lies about him, and spare no one connected with him—man, woman, or child. The necessity of facing this ordeal deters many men from entering public life at all, and drives a good many out of it when once they have entered it. Among instances of the latter kind is that of Vice President Colfax, a singularly honest and pure minded man, faithful to his principles, and undoubtedly qualified to render substantial services to the country. He has announced his intention to withdraw from politics at the expiration of his present term of office, simply because of his disinclination to spend any more of his life in an atmosphere of slander and misrepresentation. Nor can this be construed into a sign of weakness. A man is bound, no doubt, to face fair criticism, but he is not bound to be forever the target of professional libelers, blackmailers, and all kinds of knaves. He owes, after all that can be said, something to his own sense of self respect.

Now, of this kind of "Apposition" Gen. Grant has had rather more than his full share, as everybody will admit. Some people he provoked by refusing to place them in lucrative offices. They have ever since been at work upon his character, laying on a coat of black paint here and daubing it with pitch there, until the portrait has become a hideous caricature. It seems but the other day that the whole nation was trying to devise methods of testifying to Gen. Grant its sense of the high services he had rendered. No new light has been thrown on those services sine*. They are as deserving of praise and gratitude now as ever they were. It is largely owing to Gen. Grant that we are to-day a great people, and not, as the Democrats wished to make us, a collection of small Governments and "independent" States. Posterity will rank Gen. Grant among the greatest commanders of his age—the most indomitable in adversity, the most magnanimous in victory. Yet it is this man, and within five years of the close of the war, that Senator Sumner can dare to call incapable even as a soldier, utterly unworthy of respect or confidence. If Senator Sumner had said that in May, 1865, what would have been the general verdict on his behavior?/Yet that portion of Gen Grant's career to which Mr. Sumner's criticism was addressed stands the same now as it did then it goes down to history as it stood when the surrender of Lee, after a struggle of unparalleled intensity —for there has been nothing in the war between Germany and France at all com parable with it—brought peace once more t* the country.

People are blessed with very short memories in these days—but is it creditable to us that Gen. Grant's character should thus be exposed to every reckless calumny, and scarcely a protest against the outrage? Let it be remembered that he has done nothing whatever to deserve the obloquy now heaped upon his head by Republican papers like the Evening Post. When you sift the complaints about him they amount to this—he has not appointed some men to office, who were thought by their friends to be undeserving. Was there ever a President of whom the same thing could not be said? Look on the other side of the account. The debt has been largely reduced so has taxation public credit stands high the country is prosperous, When you reckon up Gen. Grant's faults, why not place these great results of Administration to his credit? Simply because it is almost impossible JIOW ad ays to obtain justice for a public man during his lifetime. There must always be an opposition and in a newspaper age, oppo siuon can speak with ten thousand voices, where sixty years ago it could find but one.

We have mentioned Gen. Grant's name, but what we have said about him necessarily applies also to the Republican par ty. for the two are linked pretty closely together, and must necessarily be so until March, 1872, to say the least. It is astounding to find Republicans persevering in a course whichany. man possessing a grain of sense must see is calculated to force the country into the abyss of. De mocracy. We are to change Grant for Hoffman, and put Tweed, and Sweeny with as much power over the nation as they have over New York City—for that is what the election of a Democratic President with Tammany's money will amount to. There are really no leaders in the Democratic party to day one-fif-tieth part so powerful as the Tammany gang. They will find a large part of the money for the next election, and they will not do so without ejecting an equivlaent for it. Eeoublicans who want free trade, and Republicans who want to "take ven geance" for one grievance and another, would absolutely rather see a Democratic President than be deprived of their hobbies. Their they turned ronnd to say, "are we not to criticise our party and the President?" We reply, criticise them by all means, but at present you are only trying to undermine them for the gratification of yo'ir own whims. We have no desire to see the PresiJent enjoying immunity from fair criticism. We simply think it an act of justice to weigh his actions impartially, and not beset his path in the spirit of assassins. The Re publican party will triumph with its next candidate, whoever he may be—or if it does not, fart.. =?'l to that prosperity and security which we now enjoy and think so little of. The Evening Post says that the best men in the Democaatic party are coming to the front. Everybody knows this to be a misrepresentation. The great leaders are the Tammany ndventur ers who find almost undeviating support from the Post.—N. Y. limes.

The Bowery in Olden Times. Let no unlettered rustic win derision to himself by calling this great thoroughfare Bowery Street, for it is "The Bowery," and nothing more. In the good old days when the memory of Hendrick Hudson and due reverence for "their High Mightiness" of Amsterdam had not yet depart ed from Man-a-hatta, stout-hearted and hard-headed old Governor Stuyvesant had his Bouwerie, or country seat, out this way, and the highway thereto, out of proper respect, derived its imperishable name therefrom.

In some of the earlier maps, to be sure, prepared by presumptuous Yankees or usurping Englishmen, the Governor's drive is degraded to "the high road to Boston," as if New Yorkers cared what settlements bordered on their highway after it had departed from the incomparable island. In the maps of 1766 a better spirit is manifested by the superscription "Bowery Lane and in 1806 it was noted as the "Bowery Road," connecting near what is now Union Square with the "Bloomingdale Road," and continuing its career higher up as the "road to Boston." On most of the later maps there is no attempt to add useless appendages to the simple and sufficient cognomen.

In those ancient and excellent days of pastoral simplicity, on the left, as you went north from Chatham Square, lay the estate of the De Lanceys, and above them the broad lands of Dyckman and Brevoort, while on the right the old records give us the historic names of Sntgers, Bayard, Minthrone, Van Cort«.,7. Si\

have left more traces of their ownership and ocupancy than all other* put ttgether —partly because the family yet retain much of the property, bat more because of the bad temper of the eld Governor, and the preposterously ^tepg life of the "Stuyvesant pear-tree," at the corner of Thirteenth Street.

There* can be little room for doubt in the miiid of any devout antiquarian but that the spirits of the sturdy old burgomasters of Niew Amsterdam continue to tutelize their old haunts, and have exercised a material influence in determining the character and nationality of their successors nor would ft ne altogether present day to find, on some pleasant, summer evening, sitting with his "vrauw" or gossip in front of some Bowery halle or garten, the modern representative of

Hard Koppig Peter" and his bellicose neighbors. Solid, and sturdy men were they—sturdy and solid men are these, good and honest citizen?, and as eager for news of father-land and the stirring deeds of "unser Eritz" as were their prototypes for the slow-coming tales of the prowess of Van Tromp and De Ruyter. Not even the news by telegraph and the street railways can dery to the properlyconstituted mind the privilege of recognizing the flavpr of theold timea in what we assume To be the new.—From "Bow. ery, Saturday Night," by W. O. STODDARD, in

Harper's Magazine for April.

WHAT have the loyal mjen of this nation, who, .casting aside all political differences,' and sacrificing all sectional prejudices and predilections, entered the armies of the Union and put down the Southern rebellion, t"o say- this from the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser of March 19: "We declare that the war. made by the Radical party of the United States against the Confederate States is the darkest scandal in modern history."

It is just such utterances as the above, from the defiant and: disloyal rebels of the South, that teach tas that the mission of the Republican party is not fulfilled. It would be as dangerous to disband our organization to-day as it would Jiaye been to.? disband the" Union armies, in 1864.—Philadelphia Press.

WALTHAM

WATCHES.

The extensive use of these watches Sor the last fifteen years by^Railway Condnctors, Engineers and Bxpreatmen, the most exacting, of watch-wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated the strength, steadiness, durability and accuracy of the Waltham Watch. To satisfy that class in all these respects, is to decid die question as to the real value of these time-keepers.

More than SOO,OM of these watches an new speaking for themselves in the pocket»of the people—a prof and guarantee of thgir superiority over ail others. ""'"4

The superior organization and great extent of the Company's Works at Waltham, enables them to prodhee watches at a price whieh renders competition futile, and those whe buy any other watch merely pay from 25 to 50 per cent, more for their watches titan is necessary.

These time-pieces combine every improvement that along experience has proved of real practical usje. Having had the refusal of nearly every invention in watch-making originating in this country or in Enrope, only those were finally adopted whieh severe testing by th» most skilllul artisans in our works, and long use On the part of the public, demonstrated to be essential to correct and enduring time-keeping.

Among the .many improvements we wonld particularise: The invention and nse of a, centre-pinion ot peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the train by the breakage bl main-springs, is original with the American Watch Company, who, having had the refusal of all other contrivances, adopted Fogg's patent pinion asbeing the best-and faultless.

Hardened andtempered hair-Springs, now universally admitted by Watchmakers to be the best, are used in all grades Of Waltham Watches.

All Waltham Watehes have dust-proof caps, protecting the movement .from dust, and lessening the necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary in other watches.

Our new patent" stem-winder, or keyless wfatch is already a decided ivceess, and a great improvement, on any stem-winding

CARPET8.

GREAT SALE OF CiEPECS! DOWN GOJTHE PRICES!

PRICED STORES MUST STAND ASIDE

CARPETS are very cheap this year, and we intend the publio shall know it and shall get the benefit ofthe decline. Buy no last year's goods they are *'ar and very likely motheaten and damaged. Buy only now clean, fresh goods, an what is eiuany important, buy only well known makes. It costs Carpet Stores twenty cents on a dollar for every yard or Carpet they sell, and so in order to make any show at all of competing with us wey are forced to buy shoddy and unknown makes of Carpets, which they endeavor to palm oS on their customers as "Hand Loom" or "Family" Car ots.

We keep only the best brands, such' as Kifion.s. Lowells and Hartfords in the grades of "Extra." '"Super Extra" and "Supei ExtraSuper." and the very best makes of Imperial three-ply" and English Tapestry Brussels.

The popular current runs strongly in onr favor. High priced stores are empty. Will there be tnore "deserted palaces" soon? We are of the people and for the people. We know neither aristocrats or plebians. All are alike in our eyes "Worth makes ihe man and want of it the fellow."^We believe in small profits and big trade.
