We stated last week Hint -ft change would
take place in (be -piibricatlon rf 4be Ameri
tan I? the introduction of a new partner,
2, fl. Engle, who will, hereafter, in connec
tirn with Mr. E. WiWert, conduct and
manage the business department of the of
fTce. This change will enable the publish
er Dot only to improve the paper in its
mechanical appearance, but enhance ita
value in other respects, by devoting more
timo and attention to ita columns, especially
ia the local department, an essential feature
in newspaper identified with tho interests
at growing and enterprising community.
The j ubhtshers are determined to keep up
with the improvements of the age, and by
diligence and industry -to on&ke the Ameri
eun a worthy exponent and advocate of the
.ntoresti of the community in which it is
published, and trtut that their efforts will
uieet with corresponding encouragement.
-Particular attention will be given t j the
jobbing department of tho oflice, and by
means of full and handsome assortment of
new type, of the latest style, and other ma
terinl, they will be enabled to eiecete work
with promptness and despatch that wilj
compare favorably with that jirocurcd from
the city or elsewhere.
i-i7""OcRSKT.E. We have an apology to
.fiVr foT the interior appearance of the Amr
niCAt, of last week and the present issue.
Notwithstanding the high price of printing
paper, it seems that there are tome dealers
iathe article whodo nothave any scruples in
regard to the quality they sell. We ordered
several bundles from J-liilatlulpmalftHt week,
of the kind -on which the Americas has
heretofore been printed, but received a very
minor article. We will endeavor to avoid
a similar occurrence.
By an oversight, in the hurry of making
the new arrangements in oar-elBcc, we ncg
cted to change the date of the outside of
the paper this week, which should be April
. th, instead of March 31st.
EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Kkw York," April 3, 1960.
Yesterday the politicians in this-city were
considerably excited in -regard to the Con
necticut election. It was generally under
stood that the vote would be a close one.
Ihe tkmocrats had earnestly invoked the
aid of President Johnson, and bad publish
e l distorted extracts from his conversations
showing his preference .for English, their
candidate. Gen. Hawley, the Itopublican
candidate, who was a gallant soldier, would
not make any pledges in advance, and when
tfscu, wmio maning a speecii, it tie was a
"Johnson man," said "he was nobody' man
but his wife's." 'Late last -niirbt. I iicard
aes-eralof the Ben Wood faction trtjolcing
over the election of tngliith, because they
had received an increased vote in New Ha.
ven, but thjs morning's news establishes Gen.
Hawley election by a majority of over one
thousand. The New York JleraU, which
favored the election of English, attributes
his defeat to the popular odium attached to
the peace party, and says: "The party re
quired to effect a pervading political revolu
tion is not the party organization identified
with the Obicago Vallasdigham -Convention,
but a new party, nutler "the Union ban
ner ot the administration. At the old
federal peace party in the war of 1812 was
( rippled beyond recovery by its opposition
to the war, so it appcorj is the democratic
party from its obnoxious doings as the
Northern peace party its our terrible Strug
gle with Jeff. Davis. The true course now
fur the democratic party is to throw over
board the old leader who Iwve betrayed it
into false position, and take a new -departure
under the new name of the Johnson
Union party, or the Constitutional Union
party. The administration cannot go over
to the Chicago Bhent-peTshent Peace Con
vention, and the O'.emcnts of the party can
miy succeed by rallying as a new party un-

The Debate ou I be Second Vela.
Washington, April 3, 1866.
By ooinmon consent, Mr. Trumbull's
gpcedli in reply to the President's socond
veto was postpnncd until to-morrow, ex
actly when the voto will be taken is not now
certain. News has juet been received f the
appointment of Judge Edmonds, 'by the
Governor f Vermont, in the place .made
vacant by the death of Mr. Foot. This name,
added to tho affirmative column, .makes 82
votes, according to the estimate -of this
morning. Supposing there ha -been no
change effected by the result of the election
in Connecticut, aud the resolution -of the
Wisconsin Legislature, instructing their
Senator and requesting their Representa
tive to vote lor tno civil rights bill not
withstanding the veto, the y-.-as and nays
win be as follows :-- yeas 33, ays 17.
The election of a Union Senator in New
Jersey would make tho affirmative count
stand thirty-three yeas, which, with the ne-
kho cvemeen, is eiactly tbe number or
Senators fifty. Seventeen votes are suffi
cient 4a defeat the requisite two-third, and
" j'wuweiy loe tun number of the op-
poBiuan to the vetoed bill. If Mr. Dixon
and Mr. Wrigkt are unable to ooine, through
illness, the seventeen will be fifteen, and if
wiey Buouioi doiq do present, and Mr. Lane
oi Kansas, aaa Mr. Morgan. of Kw 1'otk
who voWdiUr the original bill-should adhere
to their potiajan, that alio will reduce the
number of negatives, and even if they should
not vote at all, pass ttie-vutoso far as the
Senate is concerned. It is now surmised
that tbe vote maybe postponed for some
days.

Whereat, a it is believed to be a .funda
