 NEw-HAvEN, May 8, 1880. The papers which have been published in this city since the election have furnished you with detail of the proceedings of that day, and with the message of the Governor to the legislature The time of the e- gslature has been principally occupied in receiving and referring petitions bringing forward and referring the unfinished business ofthe last session, and in the various preliminary proceedings which usually pre- cede the of active business in the legislature The new State House will, when 6nished, be a stately and noble edi6ce. The chambers for both houses finished tn style of great beauty and con venience. It WAS thought. at 6es that inc conslruc- ton of the Hall ofthe Representatives was such to render it difficult to hear hut as the speaking mem- bere become more accustomed to the room, and as better attention given, less difficulty is experienced than was at first npprehended. You hardly imagine how much interest is taken

 in the proceedings of the Senate, and how much the

 importance aud responsibility of body increased since the manner of their election has been changed

 understand that their proceedings hereafter will be published-and am sure that, from the respectable character of the members, aad from the importance of many of the subjects which will be debated, they will be read with much interest. That which excies most attention in the proceedings of that body is the trial of contested election between Robert Fairchild and Abraham D. Baldwin. committee, to whom this matter has been referred, was chosen by ballot Friday. and consists of Messrs. Crawford, Darling, and Miner It is said that MT. Fairchid has employ

 ed able counsel and that strong effort is to be made

 to displace Mr. Baldwin. The feelings of those gen.

 temen who are acquainted with the men are strongly

 enlisted in favor of the ater but it is presumed that sense ofduty will influence both the committee and the Senate do strict justice 10 both gentlemen. There is subject which begins to excite some 1 conversation among the members of the House, and that is, the election of U s. Senator. It is suppo- sed that the Jackson party will bring forward Andrew T. Judson for that office, and they undoubtedly have strong hopes of success My own opinion is that our 1 present Governor will be elected. There are many entemen in inc house who strongly desirous of the election of Roger M. Sherman. The situation of the country and the honor of the state require that he

 should be placed in a station for which he is so em

 neny fitted both by his commanding talents and la borious industry. But if the attempt should be made and should fail, the result would probably be dsas trous to the best interests of the state.

 The first county meeting ofthe members from our

 county (Litch6eld) was of usualunanim;ty and

 kindness. The present Judges of the County Court, Judges of Probate, with exception, and the Justi ces in most of the towns were unanimously recom-

 mended for re-appoiutment. The meeting s adjourn ed to Thursday next, which time some additions will probably be made 10 the list of Justices, but il is

 believed there will be no serious difficulty in relation to the affairs of our county. Things are assuming

 rather squaly appearance in some of tho ccunties.- Jacksonism in Hartford county, and Ant-masonry in Windham, are threatening to make us some trouble; and it is said that the House wi probably be called upon to regulate some matters upon which the mem bers from those counties may be divided. It is how ever hoped and believed that large majority of the

 members of the house will take straight forward and consistent course in relation to both these of difficulty. If any thing of importance occurs in the course of next week, will give you timely inIorma- ton.
