THE New HAMPSHIRE ELECTION

THE New HAMPSHIRE ELECTION
The Radicals have carried this State, says
the Lynchburg News, by about 5000
majority. And this is Radical news,
which, when the facts are known, may be
modified by a reduction Of the figures
still lower In 1866 the Republican ma
jority was 6,128. In 1865 it was 1866,
and now but 5000; not quite half what
it was two years ago. A majority Of g.
900 in State is small affair, and there
is hope that even New Hampshire may
yet throw off Republican domination
We have strong confidence in the sue
cess of the Democratic ticketin Connect
cut next month. The conservatives Of
the North should work like beavers for
the overthrow Of the vile party that has
oyerthrown the Constitution.

In the Senate, on Friday, sundry nom

fore the adjournment in July, were taken
up, and the following confrmations made,
viz: Horace Greeley, to be Minister to
Austria A. G. Hunt, Governor of Col

Illinois, formerly Of Maryland, Commits
sioner of Agriculture The nomination
of MIR. Greeley by the President was en-
tirely voluntary. Mr. G had no desire
for the position, and neither he nor his
friends solicited it. 1t is regarded as a
merited compliment to the journalistic
profession, and as suclf is very generally
appreciated as one of the few really sen
slble acts performed by President John

Important Decision by the Supreme
COurt-

1t has been decided BY the PennsyIv-
ania Supreme Court, that drawing check
on a bank in which the drawer has no.
funds, and uttering it, i, fraud, both on,
the person to whom it is negotiated and
on the bank. Case of Peterson vs. Union,
National Bank. 1t is fraud in the hold
er of check to present it for payment,
when he knows the drawer has no funds
in the bank to meet it. The holder of a
check deposited it in the bank on which
1t was drawn, knowing that the drawer
had no funds to meet it is was passed to
the holders credit and charged against
the drawer. Held, that this was not paw
ment of the check by the bank, and that
the holders could not recover the amount,
from the bank. This decision is of i'm.
portance to class of persons who are in.
the habit of 'kitiug" checks, giving "me-
morandum checks and checks dated ahead
All such practices are frauds under this
decision, and if the checks so uttered are
not stamped as promissory notes they are
also in violation of the United States In
ternal Revenue laws. Persons who are.
guilty OF drawing checks when they have.
no funds in bank very soon lose their
credit, and have their accounts closed by
the bank, and may consider themselves
lucky if they escape prosecution for fraud.

In default thereof. IF the owner of the

CHAPTER VII.

THR TEARS OF RECONCILIATION.
Austin, lying cold and still upon the
battlefield, unconscious of the form be-
side him, laid low and smitten by his
hand, sank into stupor resembling the
auietude of death. - How incident are
ways of destiny = the highways of life
are more eyentful, and more romantic in
their character, than the most exagger-
ated pictures drawn by either the noye-
list or historian. Things. which our
experience tells US are impossible are oc-
curing every hour, and are either hid
den In their secret accomplishment or
made public in such way as to need cor;
roboration, and hence pass away as non
sense We need only affirm that the ways
of life are mysterious, and can only be
manifested by looking "quite into the
deeds of men,"
The cousins, although destined to fall
together, were not ordained to share the
same means Of recovery. AS we have re-
lated, Austin found shelter in the desc

like, looking with terror on the pale an,
handsome face, childlike in expression
and pure in feature as girls. He mur

"The same = the same face, expires

be no more remembered. 1 prayed so be
fore, and was satisfied; but here -
And he looked again into the silent anc
unconscious face. =" Yes, it's the same
the picture was given him to haunt me
dying mans prayers are heard, aye, an
swered, else this could never transpire
This spectre now rises up to renew the
dark memories of times and places faI
gone, but let it : the dead reveal no Sc
crets."
He cautiously turned down the coun-
terpare and scrutinixed the heaving bo.
som. A small mole or tancolored speck
blotted the clear white transparency OF
his skin. He looked upon the heredi.
tary stain, and resumed his soliloquy:-
"The same still Silvio, thou art
there, thine image still lives, and with it
the dark memory of thine end Be it So
What is past cannot be annulled. Battle,
yes, the boy shall be vindicated, and his
rights established. [ am old now, and
the war to boot, may soon be the means
of relieving me. May it break = beat
on"
And his withered hand was laid at his
heart, and a pallor overspread his face
He covered the sleeper again, and turned
to depart. One more glance at Austin,
and, with the same ghost, like step, he
glided from the chamber.
The morning dawned clear and beauti-
full as Austin, after night of dreams, rose
from his pillow and prepared for his de-
parture. His second, a lieutenant H,
accompanied him, and were upon the
ground just as Costardo and his compan-
ion appeared emerging from the opposite
wood. The usual salute passed between
them, and the space measured. They
took their places and awaited the word,
or signal, to fire. The handkerchief
dropped : the smoke passed away with a
light puff, and it was discovered that
both bullets had been withdrawn. A
party was demanded, but Austin, too,
fixed in his determination, rejected the
proposal: the pistols were reloaded, and
they again took their places; but at this
juncture an old soldier stepped from
among the trees, close by, and waived his
hand as the signal was about to be given.
He drew the combatants close together,
bade the seconds retire little distance,
and spoke to the cousins in an undertone.
In few minutes they embraced each
other with tears, and the stranger with.
drew, desiring them to see him in his
quarters on their return. The soldier
was Austin's night visitor.

vors return to specie payments as soon
as possible. He says that there are $780,

Congress to foot the bill With an ailu-
sion to the old conflict with Great Britain
and other countries upon the subject of
allegiance and naturalization, the message
comes to an end. 1t was received by
Congress without emotion, and it is likely
to be of as little practical value as those
which have preceded it.

published them and presented their bills.
The proper accounting officer rejected all
the bills excepting those of the two Off

appealed TO President johnson, and he
ordered the bills to be paid, amounting
to $4,000. Yet he howls for public

Reconstruction by Congess, Sure Thing


Senator Drake of Missouri has publish.
ed an able vindication of Radicalism, in
the form of a letter to the Hon. Reverdy
johnson, reviewing the relations of the
conquered States to the Federal Govern
ment, and showing both the justice and
the e1pediency of the plan adopted by
Congress for their restoration. At the
close he offers this cold comfort to the
Democrats who are REJOICING over the re-
suit of the recent elections:
"The net Democratic gain in the re-
cent elections, so far as national politics
are concerned, is one United States Sem
ator. At this rate, with but eleven Dem.
ocrats and Johnsonites now in the Senate
to start with, how many years will it take
to overthrow the Republican ascendancy
there? And until that ascendancy is
overcome, what hope is there of South
ern Rebels and Northern Democrats (par
Jratrum y Meantime, what becomes of
reconstruction 1t marches straight on
to completion under the acts of Congress
as they are, negro suffrage and all. There
is not Republican Senator who would
dare-even if he wished-to vote for
their repeal or any retrosrade movement
from the positions they have taken in
them. The recent elections, therefore,
have no solid comfort for you, nor do
they intimidate or discourage true Radi
calls anywhere. Men who stand up for
principle as they do, are not dismayed or
disconnected by casual and temporary
reverses, but rather spurred to more re-
solute battle for the right"
