POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.

The election in Shelby county, Tenn, on Saturday
resulted In the defeat Of the democrats by esti-
mated majority OF from 500 TO 1000.
The municipal election In Louisville, KY, on Satur-
day resulted In the success OF the whole democratic
ticket.

that the Southern States were out OF the Union and
the trial OF Andrew Johnson for insisting that they
ore In the Union.
Politics are getting quite exciting In North Caro-

rabid. One article In o recent issue Is headed

THE BREAKING UP OF RouGH WINTER
From the warm sun and balmy skies Of the last
few days we think we may congratulate s'all
the people Of the United States" that the rough
winter Of 1868 is ended, and that brighter
days and better times are coming. The break
ing up not only Of the embargoes of snow and
Ice on the railroads, but of the close, icebound
blockades Of our interior rivers, has already
commenced in the West under the pressure of
dissolving spring rains and swelling foods.
From the East to the West there will probably
be work for bridge builders and railroad and
canal men with the clearing away of the
winters accumulations Of ice and snow.
Railroad companies should accordingly double
their usual precautions against accidents from
embankments washed away, land slips and
fallen rocks, culverts cayed in, bridges dis
placed or weakened, &C. Our city councils,
meantime, without standing upon the ceremo-
nies Of the Circumlocuton Office, should at
once provide Tor wholesale chopping up of
the banks Of ice which obstruct the streets
right and left, lengthwise and crosswise, so
that the sun and the rains may have q chance
at the removal Of these nuisances, If we can get
rid Of them in no other way. A few thousand
dollars appropriated for this purpose In giving
the relief Of employment, even for day or
two, to few thousand needy workingmen,
would be most acceptable act Of charity, not
only to them but to the whole community.

What under other circumstances and in former
longer create surprise, and reign of despot-
ism or anarchy would ensue. A faction deter
mined to rule will stop at nothing when II has
the power, and especially when there is fear
that this power Is slipping out of its hands.
The military despotism over the South may be
extended to the North. Some disturbance may
be fomented as plea for suspending the
writ of habeas corpus and governing the
North as well as the South by the
strong arm of military power. 1t is quite
evident that the radical oligarchy now estab-
lished at Washington would not stick at this or
anything else to perpetuate its power. AS this
revolution proceeds we shall soon find our Sc
curities will run down abroad, that they will
be sent back in vast numbers, and that both
the government and country will be plunged
into great financial troubles and bankruptcy.
And what will become of the debt and the
bondholders? Isitlikely that the people viii see
themselves ruined by revolutionary Congress,
and then consent to bear the burden of an
enormous debtr If they should 1t would be
contrary to all experience where the people
have had voice In the matter. This is the
deplorable state of things 10 which Congress is
hurrying us on, and unless the people rise in
their might at the polls and drive the radicals
from power we have q disastrous future be-
fore us.

millions. One would think that with such
resources under . peace establishment there
ought to be an immense surplus at the end OF
the year after meeting all our current obliga-
tions, and relieving reduction Of the national
debt upon this surplus fund through some
judicious measures Of legislation, or . re-
ieving reduction Of these internal revenue
taxes. From present appearances, however.
no relief either way need be expected from
this Congress.

The Now Hampshire Election To-Morrow.

Tho Now Hampshire Election TO-MorrOw.
The fight in New Hampshire closes to-day,
and the contending armies will begin to count up
their killed and wounded tomorrow. The can
vass has been a CLOSE and hotly contested one
throughout, new issues being brought forward
from time to time by the action of the Execu-
tive or Congress until the climacteric was
reached on the question Of the impeachment of
the President. 1t does not appear, however,
that this issue was thoroughly introduced into
the campaign just closing, one of the principal
conservative speakers Senator Doolittle) de-
clining altogether to discuss the subject on
account of his having to take official action
upon it Immediately in his capacity as men,
ber of the High Court of Impeachment But
there is no doubt that each party has made
the most Of the points calculated to
effect their side benefcially, and we
may regard the result of the election as in
some, if not in an important, degree exhibiting
the sentiments of the people of the State upon
the whole matter Of impeachment. The result
will also furnish us with the opinions of the
people in this pioneer race for the grand Presi-
Dental sweepstakes next November upon the
great topics of reconstruction, taxation, the
financial policy of the government negro
supremacy and the general conduct Of national
affairs by the radical majority In Congress.
Taking as examples Of the direction in which
the tide of public opinion is flowing from the
recent city and town elections in this and other
States, there are certainly reasonable grounds
for expecting that the reaction against the
radicals begun last year and continuing up to
the present hour has finally reached New
Hampshire, and that tomorrow the people Of
that State will pronounce decisive rebuke to
the Congressional majority, that is fast prganiz-
Ing reign of anarchy and bringing the coun-
try rapidly to the precipce of bankruptcy,
reputation and ruin.

absence OF political successes, Notwithstanding the
