While avoiding all undue haste, let us aim to make the sessiou as brief as is cousistenl a deliberate and dispassionate investigation oi every subiect presented tor our consideration. In a word, let ns see to it that our official action of such a character as to justhy tbe confidence and command the respect ol those bv whom we have been placed in our present position 'rrator Uaimp offered a resolution that a com miltee of two be appointed to inform the House that the Senate, was ready to meet the House in joint convention.

PLATT'S SPEECH. Gentkmfn of the iue of jitprcwnUitive: I thank yon for this mark of your confidence and respect. 1 will endeavor to discuarge tne duties of the office to which I have been elected with due regard to the oath I am about to take, and with faithliness, promptness and impartiality I know that I shall always need your assi-tance and feel assured that I shall have it, I fear I may often be compelled to ask your for-bsa ranee. Custom seems to require that the Speaker upon the chair should address the House. You will pardon me if I am brief in my remarks and confine my suggestions to one or two matters of a practical nature.

I cannot but feel that recent sessions of the Legislature have been unnecessarily and unreasonably protracved. I am aware that it is often said that Representatives are always at the commencement of a session profuse in promises of an early adjournment, and as the weeks wear away forget their promises. L-t us do souiething'more than promise, let ns perform. To accomplish what the state expects and demands of ns in this respect will require patient labor, united etiort and a continuing determination. It should be understood at tbe 6tart that this is to be a working session that business to be considered, must be presented within the time limited and prescribed by law that committees will not waste time in watting the convenience of parties, and that trials before them are not to be conducted with tbe slow and tedious formality ol the court room.

We should see to it also that while a fair opportunity is given for discussion, debate is not allowed to transcend its proper limits, and that the valuable time ol tbe House is not wast- ed ln li6teoioe words which merely serve to darken couuseL 1 am snie I may rely upon your support in every reasonable effort I may make to dispatch business and confine tbe session within proper limits. Another mattr demauds snd shonld receive the careful attention ol the House I mean the increasing tendency towards extravagant expenses. This may seem unimportant to ome, but extravagance in legislation leads to corruption ss surely as extravagance in social lite leads to dishonesty. We should check tbe current, feeble toough it may be, which seems settlut ns towards tue corrupt aud proriiirate legislation which disirraoes some of tl-e states. To do this we should be honest in the most trivial matters.

We must avoid the very appearance of evil we most practice with regard to ourselves st least a thorough and rigid economy, and thns imitate the simplicity and virtue of" the earlier times. The present danger to the republic is to be found in extravagant legislation and extravagant living. Let us endeavor" to roaiotaia the ancient and honorable record of our loved state. Let us strive ever to legislate, not for ourselves, not tor few, not in the interests of any particular class or faction, but for the real good of the whole state, and in the truth, justice and humanity. The oath was then administered to the Speaker by Mr.

Here he awaited lit being now nearly 2 o'clock.) till the irenral assembly hd met in joint convention and sent a committee to infoim him of the fact. ACCIDENTS. Two serions sccidents occurred darinj? tbe day. Lieutenant Edward S. Sears, paymaster xm CoL Prouty's staff', was thrown from bis horse wuile lines were forming on the Park in ttie morning, and received dangerous injuries.

The accident was occasioned by the breaking of the saddle-girth. As the rider fell, his foot caught in one of the stirrups, and before he could extricate himself the borse kicked him in the head. He was picked up insensible and conveyed to his boarding-place on Ann street, where Dr. Ellsworth attended him. Early last evening he had not felly regained his consciousness, and the doctor was uuable to state what turn tbe case might take.

Internal bleeding was feared, which miuht be attended with serious results. At a later ttour consciousness returned, and the indications forsrly rtcovery were iavorable. A sad accident slso occurred to Jsmes Stralsey, a member of the New Britain Battery. He was encased during the tiring of the salute on Trinity Hill, in ramming down a cartridge, when, owing to the negligence of one of the gunners to keep the vent closed, the weapon was discharged snd Stralsey received tbe full charge in his right fore-arm, which was badly shattered. Dr.

Jarvis attended to him, aud found lt necessary to amputate two finders and the thumb. The injured man has a lamily, and as the accident will prevent daily work lor some time, he is deserving of something substantial in the way ot sympathy. GOOD LOOKING COMPANIES. The military organizations all appeared well, and did themselves honor a representatives of the Connecticut National Guard, The fact is tbe uniform of the Guard is well enough for fightiLg purposes, but for parade it isn't anything to brag over. Some of the companies, however, which came here independently, made a diflVient appearance.

The Sarefield Guard, of New Haven, wore a rich, showy uniform of bright colors, and attracted much attention. The veteraa Guard of Meriden in Zouave rig were, ol course, "spotted" by the spectators. This company deserves honorable mention. All its members were "three years men," fought the battle straight through, and they have a right to any uniform that good soldiers are entitled to wear. The Foot Guard were among the specially observed, and the City Guard, wearing a dress uniform, made friends by excellent marching.

Captain Barnum's company, both in the street march of the morainir, and in the procession, did fine'y. of course the New Haven Grays made a handsome appearance. DECORATIONS. Many of the Main street stores were handsomely decoiated with tri-colors in show windows, and bunting was displayed, liberally lrom several buildinirs. Flags were thrown to the breeze in different sections of the city from staffs and dwellings.

GOOD ORDER. The best of order was maintained daring the day, and the police, who were everywhere active and vigilant, had few arrests to make. The absence of intoxicated persons from the public streets was specially remarked. FEBDIKQ THB TBOOrs. The one dollar arrantrement, by which each man in line received one dollar to provide his own refreshment, worked satisfactorily, and furnished a good deal of trade to restaurant keepers.

City companies provided entertainment for companies from abroad as follows City Guard, tbe New Haven Grays and Norwich Light Infantry- Hillyer Gnards, the Sarstield Guard of New Haven: both companies of Horse Guards dined at Lane Hotel. INCIDENTS, ETC. These were about as scarce as hen's teeth. A fraud was perpetrated npon a yonng man, who pulled off his coat to figbt a friend, and gave it to a stranger to bold while the friend's head was running against his fist. When be had enjoyed tbe thing sufficiently he proceded to take his coat, but the young man who bad it wasn't to be found.

He had threaded his way to other parts, lt was a clear case ot Coats' thread warranted at least two hundred yards from the scene ot the "wind-up." A lady from Meriden had her pocket picked of a portmonnaie, containing a few dollars, near the comer of Main aud Asylum streets, which is the only case of the kind reported. Tbe father of Mr. Lattimer, of tbe firm ot Clark and Lattimer, who was spending tbe day in Hartford, oi going to his son's residence to tea found in his coat pocket an empty portmonie, placed there undoubtedly by a pickpocket after it had been emptied of its contents. Possibly it is the property of the lady aforesaid, and, if so, the circumstance may properly under the head of incidents, be called a co-incident. Tbe three officers of Governor Claflin's staff, who accompanied him yesterday In full uniform, aie all veterans of the late war.

They'are of the rank of colonel, but all held a higher position in active service. Colonel A. B. Underwood was a brigadier and brevet major general, and still Buffers from a terrible wound received at Lookout Mountain. Colonel James L.

Bates and Colonel Hallowell served long and well, both having commanded brigades and been brcvetted as brigadiers. Tbe latter, a "Fighting Quaker," succeeded Colore! Shaw of glorious memory, in command of that admirable colored regiment, the 54th Massachusetts, and was very severely wounded ln tbe famous sssaalt on Wairner.

The semi-annual meeting of the Conference of the Congregational churches of New London county, composed of one clerical and one lay delegate from each chnrch in the county, was held vesterday with the Second church la New London, Rev. G. B. Willeox, pastor. The services opened with a sermon at 11 o'clock from the Rev.

Daniel Merriman of the Broadway church, Norwich. The business meeting ot the Conference was held immediately after the preaching service, and during the alternoon and evening the following topics were discussed with much interest to those present: 1. How can the Sunday School be made mere effective for the salvation of souls. 2. hat are the best methods of securing the largest attendance upon public worship.

3. The uses and abuses ol money. The meeting was one of deep interest throughout. A large number of conversions were reported as having occurred since the 1st of January, the largest work of grace being that in the town of Ledyard, where more than one hundred it is hoped have become Christians. The Conference adjourned to meet for a short time this morning, but bad a very small attendance.

Reported Sati.ino or ah Expetitios from New Yokk to Cm. It appears that the expedition which left New York for Cuba on Monday was larger than first stated. The World says the steamship Arago was the vessel which sailed, having nearly one thousand men on board. Every thing was done openly. The volunteers went on board the steamship with their muskets over their shoulders, after having partaktn ot a dinner at public hotel.

Sixty thousand rounds of ammunition, several nieces of light artillery, a large quantify of small arms, a hundred breech-loadets, a large quantity ot forms, aud a smil quantity ot medical stores went with the men. Tne Arago cleared on Saturday for St. Thomas, but nntil Monday morning she was lying inside of Sandy Hook, flying American and Peruvian colors. Tne New York Mail states that the Arago was sometime since purchased by the Peruvian government lor and sailed for St. Tnomas with supplies for the Peruvian iron-clads there.

The same paper says that a Cuban expedition has sailed, but intimates that the Arago is not the vessel which carried it. United Stales Marshal Barlow of New York was engaged all day Wednesday endeavoring to learn the facts in tbe case, but could get nothing verifying the reports. EXE JUL XEWS. James M.

The seat of Mr. Baldwin o' Danbury, Pemc-t-rat, in the Honse of Representatives', Is to be contested by Mr. John The facts in the case are cutvlaniialty thai duriui; the count of the votes one of the Democratic counters found three votes far Mr.

Tweedy, which he claimed were cast by one man, and ithout waiting to have them examined by any one els-, tore them apart and threw them upon the floor. These three votes would have elected Mr. Tweedy by one majority. The ballots were picked up, and from the manner in which they were lolded, it was claimed as evident that they were not east by one person, but they in some way were slipped toiretb. iu the box.

It is believed Mr. Tweedy justly entitled to the seat. This, and otlip- contested election cases, if there are any, sb.ouid be heard immediately, and decided iD tne station. It is pleasant to know that the gratification ielt in this country at the substitution of Mr. Motley for Mr.

Theirs has been tha rivalry of honorable states For two hundred and thirty years they have helped each other to fulit a great deal, and fonght each other very little.

It Was with great rleasurethat oar citistona learned that His Excellency Governor was present on Wednesday, scvepttnu the cotdisl invitation of the liovernor elect to come over and witness our observance of the customs of our fathers. Many called upon him, and many more would have done so had the occupations of the day afforded an opportunity, for besides the Massachusetts men, sons of Connecticut ly adoption, are a multitude who would gladly do honor to a man DO worthy of the high honor be bears. It must astonish our doubting political Thorn siaes to see how rapidly Virginia is recovering its sanity, me foousli and huitful peevUhnesa and arrogance wh.ch have marked the Press of that state in the past are giving place to Of language and a praiseworthy disposity to discuss luestions of public policy in a rational way. Of course there is a gool deal to be done yet, bat a good deal has been done already when such journals as the Richmond TlV.ij, and Euquinr warmiy advocate the election of a Repuulicau immigrant to the hiibest post in the commonwealth, and whet the latter instills into its readers such wholesome advice as this "It is important that we shi.uid nuke it knows far and near, to foreign and immigrants, as also to the Government authorities, thet we not on d.sire, but cordially invito and will warmlv welcome all men and families ho come here to live, to work, and to cast in their fortunes with us, whatever their polities or their birthplace." hen a Richmond newspaper is anxious for an influx of "uiuusiiis," the end ol reconstruction cinnot be trerv lar off. THK KiF.VtJIUE, Governor well's mcsage speaks for Itself.

It is a business man's message to business men. The larger portion is taken up with a clear summary of the state's financial condition and resources, ana brief notices of Ihe various Institutiotf uoarasand commissions, with an occasional re oinraenoation interspersed. The topics that will mainly engage the assembly's attention are well mapped out. The Governor expresses il po HI cal opinions with frankness and decision as becomes a Republican. He expects the best results from recoDft'nLtion, which he believes bs speedily completed, has full confidence in the national administration, thinks that "loyal set- ximeuis and actions will soon be, not only tol erated, bat held in the highest esteem through out onr entire country," and tersely and energeti cally approves the litteenth ameadment.

There are bi veral recommendations concrnlng maUeis upon which there is a marked differejee of opinion. Among is the suggestion that Ihe rate ol interest be raised to seven per cent. "is reasons are sound. More liberty in contracts lor interest would be favorable to the borrower Ve make it illegal to take more than six per while western states, whose first need is carital, authotize anv rate. It is almost eonWa lent" to a prohibition against lending money in vonnectiTut.

It Is notorious that onr banks and Jjrvlers treat the law with contempt, and there an unwritten law iu the mercantile world unde which any merchant who should invoke the to rUieve him from seven, eight or ten per cent, would so lose credit and costs that he would be utterly unable to borrow at all. But the matacers of insurance companies, savings institutions and other corporations controlling moneys iu the nature of trust funds, and lending for longer periods, on mortgage or oth erwise, dare not take this course. They most "-r w. Tut savings societies will lend at hpme, contenting themselves with six per cent, nd the tax ol three-quarters of a cent. But the others almost universally go westward and lend upon seven, eight or even twelve per cent, in strict accordance with law and upon undoubted security.

So there are many millions of dollars of Connecticnt capital annually going west, with out a thought of borne necessities. Interest alwajs rules higher in the newer slates, profitably and properly, and no legislation will protect us against this efflux ot capital, but our ought tot Xo as it now does, against the liome borrower. We suspect that if Governor Jewell could have boicd for success, he would have ecommended the total abolition of om usury laws and the substitution of a simple statute, permitting a contract ia writing for any note oi interest, with the proviso that in case of a failure to so specify, the rate six percent, only shonld be taken. The divorce laws of the State are discreditable to n. A plain statemect of the fact that theri-were one-tenth as many divorces as marriages durine the last year is enough.

Argument is un necessary. The Governor recommend radical changes in the laws guarding the property of married women, but his propositions are reasonable. We have more thin once advocated biennis' iall elections of state officers, of course electing Congressmen at the same time. The prejudice in favor of the ancient customs is very strong. Every Connecticut boy is brought up to like the "election" ho'iday, and we conld not expect to maluta all the customs of the day at January Inaugurations, fcut convenient substitutes would be found for the pleat ares of the old way, and the State would be vaf Uy benefitted in its political relations.

That io roe 29snUe it bikes two or three years to reach a trial in the scperior court is another wrong, an outrageous denial of justice that must be reformed.

The bridge cpmmissioners yesterday served legal notice through the state attorney npon the the Hartford Bridge Company to stop taking toll, in consequence of the condition of the F-ast Hartford causeway. Bat little attention was paid to ttie notice, and an officer was dispatched to enforce obedience; but ttie bridge folk delayed action long enough to consult with an attorney whose advice wbs that if any one attempted lo interlere with the toll-taker to "shoot him on the spot" A lively time ensued, between all ttjis contlict of authority and legal advice but the result was that toll was taken throughout the day, which may lead to further action ou the part of the commissioners.

Parrpa.Roa. Our readers have seen in our advertisirg columns for the past week in announcement of the expected visit of Madame Parepa-Rosa, and the intelligence has doubtless gladdened the heart of all who have had the delight of hearing her heretofore. To snch we have no need to speek, bat those who may not know what a treat is cflered them by the concert of to-morrow evening, we beg to advise ont of regard to their own interests, to their need of refined, recreative amusement, a thing so essential to the well being of body and mind, -on no acconnt to lose the present chance of hearing the great singer. Except a certain class of politicians no people are so uncertain in their movements as distinguished singers. Here to-day and gone to-morrow, they fin atiout the country and back and lorth across the ocean with an incessant activity that it makes one quite giddy to contemplate, and Madame Parepa having been with us so long, it would be no matter for surprise to learn st any moment that she was on her way to an engagement at Timbuctoa or the Sandwich Islands.

While tbe sunshines, then, is the time to make hsy. Indeed if Orpheus' lyre moved the very stocks and stones to arise and follow listening as be went, what creature is there so insensate that shall not press eagerly to where Parepa comes, to listen to the music of her glorious voice. It is said by some of her admirere that the Angel Israfel, "whose heart strincs are a lute, and whose voice is the sweetest of all God's creatures," himself pauses in his singing, and hovers near to earth on his bright pinions to drink in the liquid eolden notes that float np to Heaven from Parcpa's concert-hall. As to this we have no meaiis of speaking positively, but we do say that ti our thinking Parepa's is the purest, richest)' grandest voice that has been heard in America for the last quarter of a century. We called Madame Parepa a great singer; we may add that we consider her a great woman, and when she Bails down towards the footlights bringing with her the little man who has the happiness to call her wife, the effect to striking, not to say sublime.

It is a sight to recall the nursery lyric: I had a little husband no blggrr thsn my thumb 1 j.ut him in tlie pint pet sou there 1 bade hint drum, only Signor Rosa fiddles instead of drums snd with how exquisite skill his bow is handled all who have heard him can declare. Among the other artists io Madame Parepa's traiu are Mr. Pease, the well-known pianist, and Signor Ferranti, whose buffo singing was so much enjoyed the other nigbt when he supported Miss Kellogg. Election Iaj IN'A t.l'KATION OP GOVERNOR JEWELL, Immense Gathering or People Delightful weather yesterday gave to the election ceremonies complete success. All the predictions which hai been made concerning the attendance of military organizations, and the grand rush of people from different sections of tbe State, more than justified.

There has not been such a gathering in this city in several years, excepting possibly on the occasion of the Phil Sheridan reception. Every arrangement was carefully and completely carried ont, reflecting much credit npon the gentlemen who served actively in behalf of the citizens.of Hartford on the various committees. The infinx of visitors commenced early in tbe day; teams rolled in from the surrounding towns bearing families by the wholesale in some cases, and In sections in others. Country swains and lasses were on hand conspicuously, and many of them. Election day without the young folks wouldn't amount to much to speak of.

Trains over the railroads were lengthened out to astonishing dimensions, and were crowded inside and outside with people. All during the forenoon the hegira from the rural districts kept up its full dignity. By noon, there was a strong impression among some of our older citizens that "the whole of Connecticut and a part of York state." bad come to do honor to the occasion-Elbow room in Main street was never st a poorer discount. "Got off my dress 1" saucily spoke "a charming young creature from Glastenbnry. "Go to thunder was the cheerful response of a respectable citizen of Bloomtield.
