General Notes About tbe Post and Its Content. The buildings and grounds of the state ar senal present a fine appearance at this time. The armorer, Mr. Bugbey, evidently gives them full and careful attention. The tents, etc used in the recent annual encampment have all been cleaned and packed away for next year.

About one thousand stand of serviceable arm's are on hand together with a large num ber of old Hint lock muskets which are re tained as relics of the past. Many of the guns of later date were used during the war of the rebellion aud have upon their stocks the viames ot those who bore them. Every the arsenal has been cleaned up and placed in the racks. 1 he cases in the apartment where the bat tle Hags were stored before their removal to the capitol. are now stored with dummies clothed in the uniforms of the four regiments and the tilth battalion.

The formidable array of cannon near the flag-staff is composed of ancient guns which would go to pieces the first time they were discharged. The Gatling guns in the gun house are swathed in woolen blankets, because the dampness would otherwise rust the steel bar rels and parts. A new gun house appears to be needed. With the present building, the dampness is such that it is neces sary to leave the entire range of doors open in clear weather to dry out the floors and walls. Ihe new iron fence erected this sea son at an expense of Si.bUD has been painted a handsome color.

It is of wrought iron, and rests upon iron posts sunk four feet into the earth, insuring great stability. lhree or four rebel nags are among the relics, including a well preserved silk bat ter" flag captured at Irish Bend, La. It ii inscribed: "From the ladies of Franklin, to the bt. Alary cannoniers." The finest piece of ordnance in the place is the steel gun presented through Minister ban- ford iu 1 suJ, to the state of Connecticut, bv the Krupp steel works of Germany. It will throw a steel shell four miles, or to give an illustration of its power more easily compre hended, it would throw a shell from the ar senal to the state prison in Weathersneld The colois furnished by the state to the Fifth battalion (colored) of the militia, were received at tbe arsenal this week.

They were made by Bacon McKenn. of New York. The large battalion flag is six feet square, of silk of beautiful shade, and has a pointed staff, surmounted by a gut eagle. Ihe guidon is of the regulation size, and tbe two markers, of heavy dark blue silk, have embroidered upon them thefigurj "5" in yel low silk. Pouri.Nn.

KKKEH TO UKN jckal James A Uakkield or Ohio. Thomas Hendricks, lrmocratia Candidate for t'ltv-fretident in lUld. The Hartlord Times for two days hai omitted to repeat its campaign stories about republicans "holding back the vote" and try- to "count out the poor unionists. Was it deliberately falsifying or was it a iups of the wily Barnum! EigUt years ago after the Maine election the Hartford proved that the republi cans had lost nearly 14,000 votes in Maine, and that a similar result elsewhere would sweep the country for Ureelvy and lirown.

Hut all the sumo it didn't sweep. The Hartford 'I hues of the opinion that republicans hire men to stone their proces sions and cut down their banners. Consequently the Times has no condemnation to offer (or such outrages. The limes used to be of th opinion that all the bull dozing and murdering in the south was done by republi cans for polittcul effect. The fact that the democratic governor of Arkansas postpones the official count of the proposed constitutional amend uieut repudia ting a portion of the state debt in order to assist in the New i ork democratic campaign, gives color to the belief that the amendment lias been adopted, and that its announcement is delayed lest it may damage the prospects of General Hancock.

It is quite certain that if the amendment wore defeated Mr. Barnum would insist upon its being so announced at once. Reports of republican organization through out the state are of the most encouraging character. Old campaigners find much to rt mind them of the enthusiasm and dash of the campaign of 'DO and '60. Everywhere is re ported the sauie united spirit and earnestness Meetings are crowded without effort and young and old vie with each other in devotion to the work.

Such a spirit was never mani fested by the republican party in Connecticut without its being a precursor of victory. At the same time it is evident that the opposition is making a very active campaign and is well supplied with the sinews of war. The t-tute will not be given up without a struggle and no methods will be left untried. It is, there fore, incumbent upou republicans every where to be especially vigilant, and to look out sharply lor the little town elections. The spirit of unity hich prevails in the party at large should be carried into the town cuucHses.

The strongest tickets should be nominated and no efforts spared to win success. Every old town held and every new town gained will help the grand result in November. The republican party is fighting the fight of the workittgnian. There is nothing in the character of the democratic party nor in its candidates that appeals to the man who earns his living by the sweat of his brow. The party is controlled by the oligarchs of the south, the owners of large estates, who look, as they have alwuys looked, with coutempt upon the laboring classes, the "mudsills" of the north and the black men of the south, Their character is shown by the unanimity with which they have made the south solid by depriving the southern laborer of his po litical rights.

And their candidate froi boyhcod up has been supported by the gov eminent. The republican party is to-dav. as it has always been, the party of Cjual rights for all men. It is the champion of protec tion to American labor against the ill paid labor of foreign manufacturers. And there is good reason for believing that a large sup ply of the money furnished for the demo cratic campaign is contributed by foreign capitalists who expect a democratic victory to bring free trade.

The republican party in fighting agaiust the democratic doctrine oi '-a tariff for rvenue only," is fighting for the interests of the workinRnian. If the doc trine of the democratic platform should pre vail American, manufacturers must shut up their factories or reduce wages to the point where they can successfully compete with the foreign manufacturer. There can be no other alternative. Kvery workingman must see that in this contest his interests are the same as those of the American manufacturer. rte trade would hurt them both alike, ex cept that the workinman will be less aide to stand the change.

There can be no doubt Ibat if the laboriu classes of the north fully comprehended the importance of this issue they would rally as oue man to the republican standard. In voting the democratic ticket they are doing something more than voting against the interests of the enterprising men who have hunt cur lactones anil mane an honored name for Auierictu manufactures, they are voting even more against their own best interests. Aud there is good reason to believe that many of them are coming to see the truth. WAlhUi Al HIGH fAI There are a good many mysteries about the working of Malaria in the human system, but there is one cause of it concerning which there is no mystery whatever. Chills and feverthe good, old, reliable fever and ague, may always be predicted in a region or neighborhood where by the evaporation or receding of water vegetable growth is ex posed to decay by the heat of the sun.

Because surfaces are so exposed in new and undrained countries and on river bottoms an nually during the months of July and August, fevers come as regularly in September as the season comes in the est, and in the east where like conditions are found. The con ditions are sometimes natural, sometimes artificial. In Hartford we have a Grist Mill on Park river for creating them, lu a so phisticated state of society like ours, the Malaria does not always manifest itself in the square "shakes given to more primitive people, but exhibits its power iu a great variety of diseases. For a good many years the Con necticut valley has been compara tively healthy and generally free from climatic diseases, free from the popular fever and ague. This year it need not fear com parison with the parts of cur co most favored by this miserable enemy.

Not only on the lower portions of the river, but higher up among the hills, the disease has broken out, and perhaps more violently high np than towards the mouth. Naturally this would be so, for the river is lower above Hartford (to assume a point) than it is below, and consequently above more surface of decaying veg etation is exposed, ihe Connecticut has not in our recollection been so low, and we have never before beard of so much faver and ague as exists no ia this region and in the country above. It is epidemic in some towns, like Hatfield, a little village that reported the other day sixty oases. can be no douht that tbe unusual subsidence of the river is the cause of the access of this dis ease. This cause could not be controlled by local a-ithorities and boards of health.

But there ar) local causes which have greatly adieu to tbe violence and area of the epidemic whioh the boards of health could have controlled, and have not. Hart ford offers one very pretty illustration of it, the are on a up in to of it fluctuating level of the stream within the Park limits, where disease-breeding surfaces alternately flooded and exposed to the ac tion of the sun, was unavoidable. It is neces sary for a city of this sine to have a Grist Kill in the center of the town. We can be. going to Hockanum to get oar corn ground.

The city wants the mill, the common council wants it, and the daily rise and fall of water the sweet banks of the river is a delight to large portion of the town. We must give the mill or the "shakes," and we prefer the mill to a uniform level of water in the Park during the summer season. We make no complaint of tins. But above the Park limits the case is altered. The dwellers in the neighborhood of the stream, for a mile and a-half or two miles, do not I like exposed and decaying banks and do not like 'shakes.

The dam at Sharps Rifle Fac tory has for a long time maintained the river above at a fair stage during the summer. For two or three years however this dam has been neglected and became much impaired, so that the water has year by year been growing lower and lower the summer. The board of health knew perfectly well what would be the effect upon the health of a large portion of the city if this dam was not repaired. Tbey have been repeatedly warned of the condition of the river. 1 heir attention was urgently caueu it this last spring and early in the summer.

Information was furnished them of the state the dam and of their legal rights concern ing it. They lacked no knowledge. They perfectly appreciated the situation. They promised to remedy it. But time passed on.

Day after day and week after week the water got lower. The board promised to attend to immediately. The adjacent owners were anxious to co-operate in repairing the dam. Work was at length begun, work was con tinued, work was procrastinated. One week, and then another week, and then another was set for the completion of the dam.

This work that imperatively noeded to be dOne early in the summer was not done either a mid-summer nor at the end of summer. And finally, in the very worst time of the whole year, when exposure of the banks was cer tain to produce an epidemic of fever, the water was all let out of the dam, and radical repairs of the dam were leisurely begun. A more unfortunate time could not have been chosen in the whole year for letting the water off. Th9 radical improvement should have been done long ago, or the dam should have been patched up until tbe always fated month of September had passed. The result has been what was predicted.

There is an epidemic of fever all along the stream and in the wide neighborhood affoc ed by it These are the leading facts: Neglect of the dam, puttering over it in the last days of summer, drawing off the water for radi cal repairs in September. Result: A large district stricken with fever. Who is respon sible for the neglect of the dam, we do not undertake to say, nor do we know what causes, legal or other, prevented the prompt action of the board of health in repairing and raising the dam. Are wa mistaken in at tributing to them power in the premises? By the London papers just arriving it ap pears that Colouei Uordou in his new posi tion of advisory counsel for the Chinese gov ernment has recommended that the questions at issue between China and Russia be sub mitted to General Grant as arbitrator. In its issue of Sept.

10th, the London limes says on this subject: The general character ot Uolonel Gordon's nro Jtfct for tbt solution of the question between Cuina and Kussid is not less ise and expeuient that every oilier IrienJ of China has hen already in stant lu urgmK lb. nunsia wuuiu biuht ui a COtiPtcl Willi Chhiai aud so, too, would lima.

He addressed a large meeting in Birmingham Tuesday night. Joseph L. Barbour, will address a republican meeting at Academy hall, Weth- ersfield, this evening, and the Hartford glee club will sing.

A Garfield and Arthur club has been fortn- I ed in Thomaston with a large and increasing membership. A. Norton is president, J. b. Kastwoxl secretary, and A.

K. Nettleton treasurer. Dr. B. W.

Tease has given the use of a lot ou North Main street for a re publican wigwam which will be ready for oc cupancy this week. A young republican of this city has written an excellent campaign song to the popular air, "When Uabriel blows his trumpet." The chorus is 'We are formine, we are forming, lty the bright iipht. And wa mean to icive the Pemo- Crats a warming." The people of the Naugatuck valley are greatly pleased with the nomination of Mr, Wallace for congressman The nomination of Thomas Wallace gives the voters ot this second congressional di trict an opportunity to elect a man who shall fully represent in congress their business in terests aud financial principles. Mr. Wallace is thoroughly acquainted aud identified with the manufacturing industry of the district; he has a personal stake in its welfare and prosperity; he is a true representative of the genius, the enterprise, the hard common sense and the harder work that has made the valley of the Naugatuck and the neighboring section of Connecticut what it is as a manu facturing community.

Its interests are pecu liar and sensitive. They require the active intelligence of a man of affairs, well informed on all that pertains to their protection and promotion. Such a man is Mr. Wallace. The capital and labor of the district, to both of which he has contributed his full share, can safely trust their interests in his charge and unite in choosing so suitable a representative.

Ihe nomination means business. Waterburu GOOD MEETING AT FAHMISUTON iue repuouc ns ot rarmington raised a large bunting flag last evening, and General William H.

Mr. Percy Bryant of East Hartford made a stirring speech. A goner- I ous collation was spread by Mr. C. Z.

Panne- lee at his house, where the remainder of the evening was spent. There is no more popular employer in the stat. to day than Mr. allace, and few men in this district are more worthy to be tbe standard bearer cf the republican party. He man OI convictions, to whom compro mise on a question of right is an absolute stranger.

1 hose who knew him as a mem ber of the Connecticut legislature, in the important position of chairman of tho finance committee, wdl near testimony to this. Mr. allace is a candidate worth making a fight for on his personal worth alone, apart from the great and overshadowing issue of pro-i tective tariff, upon which he was nominated. Above all and beiore all, the workmen in the factories should vote for him, just as quick as if the issue in the campaign was whether or not their wages should be cut down, and the factory run short time, for that, to be plain is the meaning of "tariff for revenue only," as laid down in the democratic platform. If the workingman had to vote on the direct question of a "cut down," we know that there would be a "solid" vote against it.

These were fortunately discovered in one of the property trunks, Stuart, the photographer, was called upon to make a photograph of the venerable Asaph Willard twenty-four hours after death.

With at J. 1 I I I ried by votes they will come from the republican party; and they are growing disgusted with the action of the prohibitionists. All that they have accomplished thus far is in case of close elections they help elect the democrats. The anti-slavery cause is usually quoted, but while agitating the question in every possible wav. the anti slavery men did thow themselves into opposition to their best friends.

The end finally came as a necessity of war. and not by any effort of the ballot. Another reason with Mr. Hillard is because those who are now urging the support of the prohibition ticket by speaking, holding con ventions. and publishing papers, those men are very many of them paid by the demo cratic party for that very purpose.

It is the knowledge of this fact. Mr. Jlillard asserts, that has caused such a falling off in the prohibition vote in this state; from over 5,000 has dwindled down to abnost nothing. Mr. it may be said, was one of the founders of this party, and has been one of its most prominent members, lie believes as strongly to-day in the correctness of the prin ciples, and in working for its diffusion and growth, but he does not believe in running separate tickets when the only result is to bring the cause itself into disrepute.

Many good people are voting the prohibition ticket who know not some of its workings as such men as Mr. Hillard does, and in this opinion ho is strongly supported by Kev. O. J. RaDge and Kev.

The New York Post appears to be in need ballast.

It will be hard sledding in Maine for the fus- ionists with Solon Chase and his steers leading the bolt. Mr. Blaine is to speak at the great republi can meeting in Philadelphia on Saturday. The republicans of Philadelphia courteous ly gave up the streets for the use of the Han cock procession on Saturday evening, and the democratic Philadelphia Times hopes that the democrats will cheerfully reciprocate. This is the proper spirit.

There is no excuse for exhibitions of rowdyism In the campaign and they damage only the party that makes them. Meantime is it as well to remember that the best time to bet on an election is after it has been held. New York Herald. General Hancock has already been present ed with three pens and he has agreed to write his inaugural message with each of them if he has to write one. Donald McKay, the great Boston ship builder, is dead.

He was the maker of the American clipper ships which made a fame for onr whole merchant marine. Among them were the Flying Cloud, i lying ish, Lightning, Great Republic, Sovereign of the Seas and many others. Tuesday evetiing, at San Francisco, Jesse Grant was married to Lizzie, the daughter of W. S. Chapman.

The affair was very quiet. F. M. Gordon of Fitch burg, a vet eran of the Eleventh Connecticut, has been chosen president of an association of surviv ors of rebel prisons, who met at itchburg, the other day. A few days ago the democratic papers were displaying glowing accounts of a great Han cock meeting at Pittsburg, at which the president aud some 230 vice presidents were republican deserters.

The Detroit 2ri6une pointedly remarks: 'The ironv of General Hancock's plea for a full vote, a free ballot, and a fair count, can only be appreciated by those who under stand the attitude which the democratic par ty has generally assumed in refercneo to the election laws, aud the history of the party in past elections. That party lias iu many states persistently opposeu all attempts to se cure the passaire of registration laws, or oth er laws calculated to maintain the purity of the ballot.

PERSONALS. Cousnl S. B. Packard, who was at one time prominently identified with the politics of Louisiana, and who is now the representative of the united states at Liverpool, has a resi dence iu the outskirts of that city. He is very popular with Englishmen.

He is lorty- two years old. He speaks of a sea captain, formerly of Maine, who has for many years been running a sailing vessel between Mobile and Liverpool. The captain wanted to have a steamship, and he asked the price of one on specifications from builders on the Delaware and on the Clyde. The American price was the Scotch price was 100,000. lie bought his ship in bcjtland and must sail un der the English flag.

Wonderful apparitions are alleged to have been seen at the chapel of Kuockmore, Ireland, within five miles of Blllina, recently. Dozens of people assert in the strongest manner that they have seen various wonderful visions, much of the same description as those said to have been seen at the now cele brated Knock, which is about 16 miles distant.
