The issue was fairly made up "between the President and Congress. The -President had openly the cause of English, and expressed his desire for his election. His dispatch to Post Master Cleveland, of Hartford, approving of his opposition to Hawh-y, and his support of English; his state, merit to A. E. Buir.

(ditor of the Hart. ford Times, end to C. M. Ingersol, of New Haven, und his written endorsement on the dispatch favoring efforts in behalf of English's election, wero published in all the papers, and read iu all the public meetings iu the State. Every voter in Connecticut knew that the President was anxious for tho election of the Copperhead ticket.

Every voter knew that a vote for Hawley was a vote for the policy of Congress, and that a yotn for English was a vote for the President's Every Federal officeholder iu the State knew, too, that his tenure of office depended upon his ting so as to please the the President had accepted the refigna- tiou of the Post Master of Norwich, because he supported Hawley and opposed English, find refused to accept the resignation of the Post Master of Hartford, because he opposed Huwlty and supported English. The issue, then, was fairly made up aud thoroughly understood, by the voters of Connecticut, and they have determined to sustain the po iev'of-Congress cud the people, anc have repudiated the policy of the Prcs- -Connecticut was tho most conservative and pro slavery State in the North. except New Through trade and innnnfaetnrcs, fchoolmasters one tin peddlers, she was more directly connected with the South, before the war, than nny Not hern She had the biggest'dough-faces, the meanest anc most servile polit the most cor ruptand pio-nlavery copperhead press outside of slavedora.

As the vote against suffrage was claimed as a Democratic triumph, so the electiou of Mr, Htiwley, a pronounced friend of suffrage, may be deemed Republican- Rain over the vote of last'fall.

When we remember that Connecticut las been the battle ground where the controvers between the President and Congress was to be decided, thatit'has jcen thoroughly canvassed in every part by tho ablest men of all parties, ind that the Eepublican cause has triumphed over the combined influence of the President, copperheads, traitors and rebels, it is a remarkable and a glorious victory. It is the verdict of the people of Connecticut against the policy of the President, and in fnvor of the policy of Congress. It is the judgment of a sove- reicn State "that traitors uho.nld be. punished nnd treason be made odious," in opposition to the determined'aud persistent efforts of the violation of all his former reward traitors, and make treason honorable. The result of this election upon Congress directly is, first, an instruction to Senator Dixoii to cease misrepresenting his constituents, and sustain the -civil rights bill; and, secondly, to secure the re-election of Senator Foster.

All had, Connecticut! aud three cheers for the gallant, brave and true Gen. J. B. Hawley, Governor elect, of a free State vindicated Fighting It out Within the Umon Lines. President Johnson has repeated e'gain and again, to those who have called on him for an explanation of his strange ith out Kegro Troops The Cincinnati Commercial and other papers recommend that white wish to go mustered ont and colored troops, who'are anxious to remain in the service, be retained.

'But the President is determined to reverse this. Colored troops are offensive to our Southern rebel brethren, and they must be gratified, though the: soldiers who have periled their lives to onr Government cannot be. The first step toward the blacks is to disarm them. The next, is to withdraw all troops from the South, and let the rebels have their own way. conduct, that, though he differed wi the Union party, he did not mean to leave it, but would stick, to it and fight out his differences with it, within its own lines.

That is, his policy. There nra a score of men in Congress, abler and wiser than he, and better qualified to be President, and yet lie will not defer to their judgment or yield to their wishes one whit. He will'not take one step toward them, but demands thnt they shail come to him. Andaf they not, ho will fight to compel them. On one is the entire Union party, ns united against his policy as they were against the policy of the rebels and copperheads during the war.

On" the other side is the rebel ntrS copperhead party of the-country, with the President i s'their chosen and recogniz- ed leader. He stays within the Union The candidates Teaming 1 lines, just as Jeff Davis and his co-coc- rebel Confederacy, and the shnme New England and the loyal North.

Gen. Hawley, the Republican candidate for Goveraor, was an original abolitionist, dyed in the wool, known and read of all men.

For years he had published the Evening Preps, a radical Anti-Slavery paper. On the stump he had openly espoused the policy of Congress und opposed that of the President. and declared h'imself in favor of extending tliCLKuflrnge to colored men who hud served in tlie Union unv.y, aud also to Ihosr! who could read and write.

WASHINQTON, April terest in Congressional entire in- centered iirths Senate again The chamber -waspacked from- the beginning tof the end, and during the greater.part of the day, fifty in embers of the House were on the floor. The session was one of unusual interest, and also of unusual BASIS OF BZCONSTBtTCTTlbN. The Journal was before Mr. Larie, of Kansas, offered his joint resolution proposing a basis of He called, attention to the fact that they embodied the. views of the President, as given in his messages, letters'to State Conventions, and the letter to Governor Sharkey.

There was at once an effort to learn if the measure was held out as an olive branch by the President, and for a moment Mr. Lane seemed inclined toilet it appear that.he spoke' for the President; but the cross- questioning of Mr. Trumbull and Mr. Brown forced him. into admitting that he had no assurance or warrant' for saying that the Executive would sanction a measure embodying the idea of the Sharkey letter.

LANE GOES OVEB TO THE COPPEBHEACS. Mr, Lane opened the debate with a most violent and vindictive assault upon Mr. Wade, for his briefspeech of last night. The Ohio Senator responded in very much the same spirit and manner, and for an hour or more most direct personalities were hurled across the chamber from one Senator to the other. Mr.

Lane took the opportunity to air his services in Kansas, and bawled himself hoarse in defence the President. He said the Republican party was going to pieces, and he had been laboring day and night for weeks and months to prevent it. The burden of his speech was that he had concluded it could only be done by sustaining the up their hats and canes and retired, aving Judge Trambnll to move the sual order for informing the House of IB action of the Senate, ani the friends the Bill to adjourn till Monday.

A Washington letter, referring to the umors'of the dissolution of the Cabinet, It is obvious, howerer, that even a rmal dissolution of the heterogeneous ombination, which the Cabinet has een these many months, has ot-'already begun, it will not be much; longer delayed.

That which was his greatest offeuse, less than two years ago, was his chief merit now. His uom- ination gave au excuse to all those Be- public'ans who desired to please tlie Administration and secure the favor of the President, to desert the Republican nominees. And yef, despite all these 'obstacles, the Republican ticket is elected against the combined opposition of the President and the copperheads.

It is a grent and a glorious triumph, and thank God, he is not able to break the Union rants, or defeat the Union cause. anparent to "all Isiael and the sun." I theVaid breakwater, harbor, nnd cai'ml, shall t. xritViin t.liTAB VfiftfH TmTTl tllO The civil rights bill and the Connecticut election have smoked him out. And in a fair and open fight he has been conquered. His will is henceforth no longer law.

He met his Waterloo yesterday, in tlie United States Senate. The disgrace of the Bull Run of the second rebellion has beenS wiped out from Hendricks to Saulsbury. The unreserved manner in which he made this-avowel prompted Mr. to characterize him as-ready to wear the collar of Andrew Johnson, which, of course, Lane denied with much warmth. Saying that everybody who knew what Jim Lane had done in Kansas would pronounce it false.

The fact that Mr. Lane said to two or three senators yesterday that he should vote for the Civil Rights Bill and against the veto message, gave additional interest to this lively debbte. LANE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE HAS BEEN BOUGHT TOP. It was, of course, seen that his views had undergone a change during ihe night or morning, and there was a general desire to know what induced the change. Mr.

Lane, without any ap- Diirent filially gratified the de- Jireby avowing that he yesterday intended to vote for the bill, his action there to be contingent upon some sd jnstment which could not now be made This was what Judge Trumbull waitec for, and ha'ct once fastened Lane bj asking him if he" wanted it thnt his vote wag to be given in consid other given Ther who have piven him He will find there- it shows how utterly powerless is the President to-. Reduce- loyal men from ihtir integrity, or control the public seuH.uent of the country. If the President could not carry Connecticut, with the help of the entire copperhead vote, ho rauiiot carry a single State in the North, on his policy, unless it is the State of Carnden and Aniboy. The copperheads boast of the large gains thev have made on the election of hist Buckingham's majority over-Seymour was 11,035. Bat this, it must be remembered, followed the Pres- klentiid election of 1864, when the defeat of McClellan had disheartened the copperheads.

Aud the night before the election came tho tidings of the fall of Richmond, and the victories of the Union army, insuring the speedy overthrow of the rebellion. Add to this, that their candidate, Thos. H. Seymour, was so thoroughly in sympathy with the rebellion, that be was obnoxious to many of the rank and tile of his own party, and we have on explanation of the fact, thnt many of them either staid nthomc, or voted ior Buckingham. We give below a t.ible of the Gubernntond vote of Connecticut, for the last nine years: by Missionary Ridge victory, and the tents of tho Union host, spread out on the Lookout Mountains, overlook the routed rebels and their baffled nnd defeated leader.

Reasons for Ills Vole. We have received from Hon. Halbert E. Paino. his speech against the bankrupt bill, delivered in the House of Representatives March 17th.

His chief objection to the bill is its compulsory feature, which allows creditors to wind up their- debtors' business. He favcrs voluntary bankruptcy, but is opposed to compulsory bankruptcy. He argues also that tho passage of the law would destroy the exemption of homestead, that he prepared an amendment "limiting the operation of its compulsory provisions to such real and personal estate of the debtor as should not be exempted from attachment, or seizure, or levy on execution by the laws of the State of his residence. But it became apparent that such ou amendment would render the bill unconstitutional, for it must be uniform in order to be constitutional, nnd uniform as to the property subject to, or exempt from, its operation, is as indispensable as uniformity, in any particnlar." This, then, is the real gist of his op- and remaining unsold shail revert to tho United States. Sec.

Seymour. It will bo seen, from this table, that in 1865 Seymour's vote fell off aud Buckingham's was increased from the, vote of 1864, making a difference of 5,377 votes. And if we compare it with the vote of 1863 when Seymour ran with the hope of English has see that Seymour fell off 7,056 votes, and Buckingham increased 1,342 votes, making difference of 8,898 votes. Whenever there has been contest with hope of success on both sides the majority has been small, and for the lost eight years, the majority -for Governor hns averaged 1971. We except the elections of 1862 and 1865, when the emotions went against the Copperheads by default.

In 1857 the Republican majority was 546; in 1858, it was in 1859, 1.960; in 1860, 541; in 1861, in in 1864, 4,658, though Lincoln majority was but 2,406. Hawley's majority over English is reported at 594. that twice, during this period, the majority for Governor has been less than Hawley's.

Others, who were members of that convention, give an opposite version.

But it makes no difference what were the intentions of the framers of the constitution. Tho people who adopted it; and made- it a law, adopted the language of the constitution and not the intentions of-individual membeis of the convention, and the Supreme Court has interpreted that language in accordance with its plain and, obvious meaning, with common sense, justice' and liberty.

The above is the language with which the Madison Democrat greeted; the first veto of the President. If the radical party is dead, as the-Democrat affirms, its corpse has a remarkable facility for voting, as is evinced by the election rer turns from Hampshire, Connecticut, Bhode Island, and elsewhere. The radical republicans of St. Louis suffered a defeat at the election on Tuesday, but this defeat is counter balanced by the brilliant victory which the radicals gained in Jefferson city, the capital of the State. The radical party of Missouri is composed of the best and most enterprising man in the State, and to their efforts is largely.

Lincoln never, by.woid or deed, indicated a belief that the Executive could dictate as to the admission of members of Congress. Mr. Doolittlo read letters from gentlemen in Louisiana and Alabama to prove that these states were in a fit condition to be admitted to representation, and that the.evidence before the Joint Committee of Fifteen, and as furnished- by the correspondents of Northern newspapers, is incorrect as indicated 'by Southern opinion. SATOSBTTBr Followed in a brief and furious speech, which plainly indicated that private conversation on the floor had settled the fate of the veto and the passage of the bill. He denounced the bill as un-.

constitutional, said its passage would be the beginning of a revolution. He affected to deplore war, but said it must come. There was no Judge in his State who would attempt to execufe the provisions of the bill; and the people of Delaware would see tbeir land drenched in blood before they would permit it. He had opposed the war of the last four yehrs, and was now more than ever glad that he had done so; for he knew it preluded disunion.

day, and then retired to one of the committee-rooms, was now supported to his seat by his friends. Mr. Dixori was not able to leave his bed, When, in calling the roll, the name of Mr. Morgan was reached, and he responded "aye" in a clear but nervous voice, the galleries broke out into a burst of "applause, which continued for some minutes, in spite of the rapping of the "Vice President, and loud calls to order from all parts of the chamber. When silence had.been restored, the calling of the roll was finished.

A STOBMY BOESSL The announcement of the vote or S3 to 15 led to a scene never before witnessed in' the and inotber Tbrnst at Chicago. A Rochester Paper says: "If a city ever had a really bad name abroad it is Chicago, Not because it is a fast town in the sense that is well understood and very broad, but because that class of its business men who-run the grain trade, and who assume to control its affairs and give tone to its society, are noted for their dishonesty. The complaint of this goes up from all quarters. The people of Illinois who must trade at Chicago, and who are identified with its prosperity, and who: can have no interest in rival cities, are as alive to the condition of affairs in the great city of the lake as any other." In reply to which the Chicago Times puts in this plea for charity: "We think our cotemporary is is, we hope so. It is a serious, a quite serious, in fact, a sb- verely serious charge to Qiake against our grain dealers.

Let us hope that it is a mistake. It would be uncharitable to entertain the idea. us not be uncharitable. Let us, if necessary, make an effort, a special effort, not to be uncharitable. Charity is the greatest of all the virtues.

A man who has no charity has nothing worth having.
