There is much regret because of the discredit brought upon the senate by the bad language used. "The opinion is well nigh unanimous," said one well-known senator, "that Mr. Voorhees made a mistake in not resting after saying that Ingalls had been guilty of gross falsehood, and in threshing the old straw that Blackburn had cleaned up so thoroughly, and he has helped neither himself nor his party by giving Ingalls an opportunity to reclaim his reputation as the owner of the sharpest tongue in the senate. Hartford, May 8.—The Democratic state convention was called to order by Chairman M F. "Dooley. Col. Charles M Joelyn, of Hartford, was chosen chairman, with one vice-president from each county.

The period he served was only from January to March, when William Wright beat him for the long term. Senator Wall was an exceedingly warm secessionist, and some thought him insane on the subject. He offered to sell to Senator Voorhees 20,000 Belgian rifles that were secretly stored away somewhere in south Jersey. A doaen or two of samples were on exhibition in Burlington. It was part of the plan, if the sale wus consummated, to equip the Eagle artillerists with them. The committee on resolutions then reported as follows: The committee to whom the question of seating the lady delegates has been submitted had not yet brought in their report, but the stand taken in the address of the bishop was supposed to foreshadow the result, and a general murmur of dissatisfaction arose among the feminine jxjrtion of the audience.

Mr. MeComas, of Maryland, said if there w any article use which our farmers could not profitably use, or pur miners or workmen produce, that was not already on the free list, he would vote to put it on. He favored the abolition of the internal revenue system and a reduction of the tariff on sugar to a minimnm, yielding revenue enough to pay bounties to home producers of sugar. The reduction of the surplus was tbe pretext, but not the motive, of the pending bill. The Democracy had, under Cleveland, after forty years, renewed its allegiance to English free trade.
