New HAMPSHIRE Election.

The adoption of the Presidents policy
by the Democrats Of New Hampshire
availed them nothing in the recent cleo
ton of State officers. vhe Democrats
went into the canvass quite sure of an
easy victory, believing that the Old
Granite State would sustain the course
of the Chief Executive. The Republic
cans, on the contrary, had faith that the
people would endorse the majority in
Congress, and were equally sanguine OF
success. The issue was plainly defined,
and the contest waged with much spirit
OIL both sides. The result, we are very
happy to say, was an overwhelming
triumph to the Republicans. Governor
Smythe was elected by about 5000 ma
jority. This is rather disastrous piece
of news to the buoyant hopes of the
Copperheads, and quite an eye-opener
to few Conservative Republicans. The
lesson is instructive.

The Fenians.

The Canucks are very much alarmed
by well-settled apprehension that the
Fenians contemplate an invasion into
their territory. There is general be-
lief that the Sons of Erin seriously con-
template establishing themselves on
Canadian soil as base for future opera
tons looking to the freedom of Ireland.
About $1,000 troops are in readiness to
meet the invaders ut moments warn
ing, and there is a general perturbation
of the public mind and a superfluity OF
the widest and most ridiculous stories.
People on this side of the border seem
to regard the apprehension of our
neighbors as groundless, and hardly
any one in the United States speaks of
them in a serious vein. The Fenians
will never take Canada. We don't be-
Iieve they will ever try.

HOWEVER much we may detest the
politics of the Dubuque Herald, we are
free to confess that we have the greatest
admiration for the enterprise of its pro-
prietors. We read the paper with in
terest, because it is always wide-awake
and newsy, and though little unscru-
pulous in its arguments sometimes, is
always up to time with the latest DEM
ocratic intelligence. On Wednesday
morning the Herald came out in an en-
tire new rig, and now presents a typo
graphical appearance which is decidedly
admirable. One of Taylor's large cyl
inder presses was lately put into the
office, which has much to do with the
good-looks of the paper.

From the st. Louis Republican.
st. Louis Railroad interests In lows.

VIM. II. Smith, Esq, President of
the Iowa Central Railroad Company,
has been In the city during . week past,
and has closed an arrangement with
the North Missouri Company for con-
Meeting the two roads at the State line.
This gives US a direct and almost air
line road to st. Paul, and we are led to
infer that the Iowa Central will be
ready for the iron by the time the North
Missouri reaches the southern end of
that road. Mr.. Smith, the President,
Is now giving his undivided attention
to this enterprise. He has long been
engaged in banking in Iowa, was
President of the State Bank, and, until
recently, was President of the National
State Bank at Oskaloosa, and has the
reputation of being one Of the ablest
fiIanciers of the State, and one of the
most energetic and successful business
men. Under his direction, supported
as he is By an able and1nfluential d.
rectory, we have no doubt of the early
success of this project. We see from q
memorial of the Legislature Of Iowa
that the policy and influence of the
State of Iowa is united and strongly in
favor Of the policy of building the lows
Central Railroad.

News Items,

st. Patrick's day was very generally
celebrated in the cities throughout the
Northern States, but evidently with no
high degree of enthusiasm, or by very
large numbers.
There are now in Canada 10, 900 regu-
lar troops. There are II 900 volunteers
on duty; at least $4,000 fully armed
militia are ready to move at moments
notice and 81, 900 more, it is said, could
soon be made available.
Two Canadian detectives were dis
covered in Milwaukee OH Saturday, and
got badly assaulted with mobs, dishwa-

Latest advices from Mexico represent
the Republicans as still maintaining a
courageous and energetic opposition to
the Imperialists. An important Re-

the Pacific States. The Imperialists
are organizing grand campaign from
Monteres and Matamoras westward.

Correspondence of the Cedar Falls Gazette.

Correspondence of the Cedar Falls Gazette.
CLARKsvILLE. Iowa, March %, 1866.
The principal events worthy of notice
since We last wrote you, are, a festival
at the Institute, fight at the saloon,
horse race and the annual election in
this school district. ..
The festival was given for the benefit
of the Institute, and resulted in par
tial failure, probably because the man
ayers of it did not consult the public
convenience, or the clerk Of the wealth
err, as the time and weather were the
most inopportune that could well be
imagined.
Not having been present at the fight
or the horse race, we are unable to
write in detail, but from report we
learned that a wheelbarrow was de-
molished to obtain clubs for the fight.
We express the hope that at the next
fight clubs may be more handy, that no
time may be lost in obtaining them, for
we never shed any tears over broken
bones obtained in such fights. The re-
suit of the race was, that one man won,
or got ten dollars, and another lost the
same amount.
But the leading sport of the times
was when the Copperheads went into
the school meeting Boosting that they
were able to elect the Board, and that
they would do it too. Having present.
ed the issue of politics last year and
been heated then, they felt sore. and
concluded to redeem themselves this
year. But they reckoned without their
host, for having drummed out their last
available man, they were beaten by
majority of IL votes. They had two
men in the Board, both of whom were
elected two years ago, and before any
political issue was presented, and had
they remained quiet, would doubtless
now have held some offices in the
board. But as it is they are entirely
out, and have the sweet satisfaction Of
knowing that the net which they pre-
pared for others, has caught only them
selves. But this is not all, for after the
triumphant election of full board of
good Union men, a resolution was Of
fered that tax be levied to raise mon-
ey to erect new school house. Not
one of them had the boldness to oppose
the resolution by speech, but they vot-
cd solid against it and to the credit of
the Republican Union men Of this dis
trict be it known that only one of all
their men present voted with the Cop
perheads and against the tax to build
new school house.

Written expressly for the Cedar Falls Gazette.
THE MAINE LIQUOR LAW.
FELLOW CITIzENs:-TheT Temperance
question being lately so much discussed
thought it not out the way to express
my views in regard to the same, and to
the Maine liquor law.
That the Maine liquor law exists. in
the State of Iowa, and that the sale of
liquor here is against the law, is q fact
that cannot be denied. But is it law
that we could rejoice about, or is not it
stain to the people to be forbidden to
drink what they like? and shall the
majority, on account Of few who can
not temper themselves, be compelled to
give up their habits, and be told like
children what to drink? I think it
wrong, and would seek for another
remedy to stop the evil. Liquor, wine,
beer is in itself nothing wrong, and in
the contrary in many cases very useful
and used for medical purposes, SO it is
only the fault of those that cannot tenn
per themselves that it creates trouble.
Therefore let those who get intoxicated
be punished, and also the man that gets
them into such state, or sells liquor to
children, or keeps disorderly house.
Let them either pay a heavy fine or be
compelled to work on the road to the
benefit of tho town. And il parents
would teach their children, and teach
ers their pupils, self-government,a and il
we would treat intoxicated persons with
kindness, and advise them, and at the
same time show them our disrespect,
we would soon win the battle that we
are now engaged in without abandon
all that leads US to temptation.
And freer people we would stand,
Respected by all nations.
The owners of the greatest land
In our Lords creations. ..

Iowa CENTRAL II. R.-The Legislature
of our State has memorialized Congress
to make the Iowa Central Railroad a
grant of lands. The memorial passed
the House unanimously, and the Sem
ate with but one dissenting voice. The
Company has recently been re-officered,
the President, Mr.. Morgan, retiring,
and Mr.. Smith being chosen in his
stead. p. Melendy, Esq, Of Cedar
Falls, was reelected Vice President
Gov. Stone has recently addressed a
letter to the President of the Company,
expressing the warmest sympathy for
the enterprise and promising to give it
the benefit of his influence, as soon as
relieved from the duties attendant upon
the session of the Legislature. We
admire the persistent effort of this Com
pany, even in the face of what would
seem to be insurmountable OBSTACLES
II this project is not u success, it will
not be because of any failure of its
friends to do their duty. Our neigh
bors at Cedar Falls have staked their
all on this road, and they are not in the
habit of sleeping at their posts until all
possibility OF failure is removed

Will our generous neighbor be 30
kind rs to show US the "face" of
"insurmountable obstacles +" in which
this Company is making persistent
effort? ?" We should really like to see
it. We cannot believe it is any more
than ghost that visits Waterloo to
smile on the people. Put your hand
Oh 1t, brother Logan, and see if it's sub
stance.

Federal Office Holders.

Mr.. Jacob Rich, of Independence, is
tho Washington correspondent of the
Dubuque Times. In his letter of the
14th inst. occurs the following informa-
ton for Federal oflice-holders:
1T Is we'll known that wherever Federal
ohice-hoder mas been outspoken in his disap-
PROBATION OF Mr.. Johnson's course, he is COM
PEELED to walk the plank, and that when Cop
perheads alone have recommended the remov-
al or active Union men, he has in various
instances followed their recommendation and
In making new appointments he has very gen.
orally done SO without consultation with tho
members of Congress to whom such appoint
ment OF courtesy and custom belongs when
mat member happens to be q radical. If tho
office oltlers in Iowa want to continue their
official relations with Mr.. Johnson they must
make mp their minds 10 bend the pregnant
, hang OF ne knee, to the Executive. He is
nemt upon having new party, and to force his
patronage will do it,"
we have seen something like this
from great many sources since the de-
veiopment of Mr.. Johnson's policy
We know of some instances where re-
moVals have been made in confirmation
OF the statement. 1t may be an impor-
tant feature OF Mr.. Johnson's policy,
though We are somwhat inclined to
doubt it. If it should be rigidly carried
out 1t would do much toward prevent
ing the succ ,ssful formation of John
son party, if this latter be among the
schemes of the President. If the Prcsi-
dent should resolve to have no office
holders in Iowa but such as advocated
his policy, he would be forced to fill out
appointments for Copperheads in nine
cases out of ten and the one case out of
ten for men who would desert their par
" and their principles and sell them
selves, dearly enough perhaps, for a
mess OF potash. The party lines in
Iowa would hardly be disturbed, and
the gallant little State would i'm the fu-
ture rs In the past roll up her twenty or
thirty thousand Republican majority
for Liberty and Union. Such course,
in this State at least, would be suicidal
on the part of the President and des-
tructive to his policy. But we trust
that no good Republican will "crook
the pregnant hinges of the knee that
thrift may follow fawning." Whoever
may, will be heartily despised by an in
tel!igent people, and marked as a cow
ardly and seryile man, unworthy of
confidence and support.
-
THE Muscatine Courier has tho au.
dacity to exelaim, "The Clean Demo-
cratic School Board elected on Mon.
day!" Who ever heard of such thing!
The Democratic School Board might
have been elected, but that it was the
clean Democratic School Board is quite
rrepoeterous. We don't believe 1t.

THERE is a paper in Iowa county of
this State called the Progressive Repu6-
tican; but it as far from being such as
Copperhead paper is from being an ex-
ponent of the true principles of Democ-
racy. 1t is perfectly preposterous for q
sheet that dares not be for nor against
the Presidents policy, but contents it's
elf by sitting complacently on the fence
and whistling Postoifice tunes, to claim
to be Progressive Republican. Non.
sense!

THE Independence Bulletin, which is
about right, likens the Government to
a machine, the President to its engineer
and Congress to its fireman. Shucks
Congress is more like the Board of Di-
rectors. And, besides, the Bulletin
should have stated that the people are
the Company, the stockholders, and
may GUST any of the employees who re-
fuse to live up to the rules and regula-
tons prescribed, or get it into their
head that they own the machine.
