NEW.MAMPsyssRE.

We vere very agreeably astonished by the
returns Of Tuesdays State Election i'll New
Hampshire. One year ago, the Republicans did
their very best, and were barely saved from de-
feat on Governor By the vote cast for Col. Har-
riman, War Democrat. Gilmore was nearly
4, 900 behind Eastman, bis regular Democratic
competitor, but elected by the Legislature. Gil
more and Hartman together had but 5A over
Eastman; and the very close and usually ac-
curate canvass made of each township by the
Union Committees prcfgured worse result
this year than last. According to all inherent
probabilities, those returns foreshadowed tn
umph of our adversaries. True, We still hoped
for success; but we did not think tho majority
could reach 1000.
Yet Gilmore is elected by 1900, though there
are more voters absent in the Union armies and
fewer soldiers at home on furlough than there
we're last year. Unquestionably, some Two
Thousand Democrats have quietly voted the
Union tickets.
The simple truth is, that The People hare made
mp their minds to go through. They realize that
the War for the Union is 10 cost them rivers of
precious blood and mountains of treasure; but
they see no way out of their difficulties but that
which leads straight ahead. They feel that the
empire which the malignant and desperate Slave
Power is now struggling to establish at our
doors on bas;s Of fraud and fendish hate
would never allow them TO disarm-neyer
afford them moments true peace-but,
allyng itself with the implacably hostile des-
potsms, aristooracies and hierarchies of
tho Old World, would exist as per-
petual menace to our liberties, and stand
ing conspiracy against our National existence.
1t is to-day the eager ally and accomplice of the
gigantic crime whereby Mexico has been sub
verted, and a European monarchy planted on
our frontier; and II is hawking itself about
from cabinet TO cabinet, in the hope of
finding some despot who will take it o. gift.
and feed fat its grudge against the Union at the
expense Of all it has to give. The late carefully
prepared manifesto Of its expiring Congress
pronounces its government "based on ne proper
relations boresn Labor and Capital not Whites
and Blacks, mind you! but the Poor and the
Rich, without regard to color. 1t asserts that
cit is better TO be dependency of any other
power" than Of the United States. In short, the
Rebel Slave Power is bent on making this q
war to the death.
Ngw-HAMPsHIRg quietly accepts the chal-
lenge. And she speaks from tho heart Of the
entire loyal North.

The Wall street Gold-gamblers and kite
flyers of all sorts held high carnival yesterday
over the defeat in the House the day previous
of the bill designed to clothe the Secretary Of
the Treasury with the power to sell from time
to time the gold that Is not needed for the
public service on purpose to diminish the yawn-
ing and widening chasm between Specie and
Legal Tender Gold went up four or five per
cent, and of course "stocks were rampant"
so that the operators for the rise went home
several thousands each richer, while every one
who works for day wages or who has job to
complete at o fixed price, or who has to sell
his product Gas We do) at fixed price and buy
his raw material ct the current market price,
was correspondingly poorer. Yesterday was q
white day for spectators, but blue one for the
great mass of producers here and throughout
the country.
We beg Congress to pass the amended bill,
which the Senate's Finance Committee is said
to have prepared or be preparing, authorizing
the Secretary Of the Treasury TO sell Gold ct his
discretion whenever the difference between that
commodity and Legal Tender exceeds twenty
Per cent. Then (or OF any rate) we entreat the
Secretary to put long Bonds on the market and
sell them at the best attainable price until the
premium on Gold ia reduced 10 twenty per cent
aforesaid. The Industry and Capital Of th'
country cannot abide these ruinous fuctuation
and debasements. Men at Washington! VI
pray you to call all hands and work the ship Of
the lee shore to which she is drifting! ReSoly
at once that the premium on Gold shall DO pu
down and kept down!

THE GOODYEAR PATENT,

A petition Is before Congress for the extension
for seven years of the Goodyear Rubber Pat
ents. AS enormous moneyed interests arc tC
be affected, and as 1t is well understood thai
powerful agencies will be c1erted in favor of the
renewal of this monopoly, it seems right to cal
attention to the project seasonably. If anything
can stop it, it will be public opuion-sometimes
more powerful than money.
Tho original patent was issued TO Charles
Goodyear in 1874, and was reissucd in two sep.
arate patents in lsi9, and these were again re.
issued In 1850 to Charles Goodyear IT,, executor.
There Is no question that great profits have al
ready been made on these patents, and none
that tho share Of them accruing TO GOODYEAR and
his personal representatives has been an ample
reward for his contribution to the public utility.
The amount will DO made much larger in the
year and half the patents still have TO rnn-
not less than half million dollars. 1t cannot
be urged, therefore, that the invention has not
already generously paid its originator.
The real petitioning parties--or, at any rate
those which have tho largest monopoly inter.
est inyolved-are certain great corporations,
which manufacture under the Goodyear Patent,
and control the market in certain classes of
goods. They have no claim upon Congress,
and their interests arc hostile to those of the
people, who havo a claim--though ono not
always in these days recognized, we regret to
say, in legislation. The people have paid, and
are paying, end for year and half must con.
tinue to pay, immense sums to those corpora.
