A QUoRUM-To night the board of trade
meets-or rather should meet. A desperate
effort has been made to esure the attendance
of g quorum. Several members have pledg
ed themselves TO be on hand. We under
stand that arrangements have been made TO
tap keg of beer and cut cheese. These
are charms which few<of the members can
resist, and 1t is thought they will not fail to
draw q crowd. The fat man Of the "moral
centre" has been on ice all the afternoon,
and unless the weather turns warmer, and the
soap grease man comes around, he can be
relied upon, at the opening of the meeting at
least. The lean man at the "centre of NOR
ais and iron spikes, has been applying a
poultice of ten penny nails since morning, to
his ''broadest part" tsee congressional re-
ports, Washburne family and expects to be
able for duty, by evening. Although the
literary member has been 'opping mad ali
the week, mo reference in regard TO his bus
mess is intended to be usde) it is presumed
that he will be there to 'op upon his hoppe
nents at the proper time, and although they
may be well soaked, and he may stir them
up lively, he certainly can't nsaltrest them
after all that has 'appened. Bailey Daven-
port has been summoned to appear before
| the board and give good reason why he
shouldn't turn his business over to c com
| mittee appointed to receive it. Several
members who wish a grab at Bailey's do,
| main, at their own prices, will thus be at
! tracted to the "sest of war" In case the
| regular fifteen members fail to appear, the
deficiency will be made up by the election
| of "ornery'' members, to be selected by the
| chair. A corruption investigating commit
tee is to be appointed, this evening, toascer-
tain what became Of the $50 appropriated
| by the board to carry the railroad election.
| The committee to whom the money was
paid, claim that it was SWALLOWED in legiti-
| mate expenses. The following resolutions
, viii be introduced

| necton with the "eoal monopoly, and coming

ton, and present the sameto the publishers Of

Resotned, That the treasurer Of this board be
instructed to present report showing the
amount of funds on hand, and thatthe same be
placed to the credit of the members If this board
at Huber's brewery, or some other frH class in

come cooler provided, that the portly numbers of

Greeley and the rest of the radicals
who desire to keep negroes ont of
Congress. on the ground that they
have not been citizens long enough
to be eligible under the Constitution
of the United States, that there are
many negroes in the South who were
born free. The objection was dis
ingenious one Mt best. and indicated
on the part Of the radicals hypocrisy
in their dealings with the negroes,
rather than respect for the Constitu-
tion. But, good or bad, the objec-
ton does not apply to negroes who
were never slaves. They are certain
ly eligible to Congress, according to

Tuesdays sleotion in New Hamp-
shire went Republican The majori-
ty, it is generally conceded, was
about the same as in the election cf
last year. It would seem from this
election, that neither. the failure of
reconstruction nor the ,impeaehment
of the President has seriously weak
ened the strength OF the HepubE-
cans. The New York Times thinks
the election could not have come off
at q more unfavorable time for them
in many respects. The Southern
policy of Congress has just shown
its weakness and its worst results.
The unprecedented step of impeaoh-
ment has just been resorted to, with
every prospect OF a conviction,
There is great ground of dissatisfsc-
.tion with Congress for its dilatori-
ness and imbecility in dealing with
the crushing burdens of taxation
in failing to give the country satis-
factory financial policy-in drifting
with public corruption. and in ignor-
ing the great practical interests of
the nation. And yet, though the
public feeling is everywhere strong
on these points, the Republicans
have been able to carry majority of
the people with them. Both Demo
Gratis and Republicans in New Hamp-
shire have been telling the voters for
month past that this election would
be decisive of the greater political
contest. the country will have before
the close of the year. OF course, we
hear something very like this before
every election everywhere; but still
there is no doubt that the present
New Hampshire election, being con-
'GRcted, as the Times declares, exclu-
sively on national issues, in closely
contested State. md after the most
vigorous campaign, may be taken ms
an indication of the highest signifi-
canoe, in reference to the drift of
public sentiment, and its bearing
upon the next Presidential election
and the other general elections of the
year. 1t must be remembered, how
ever, that the Republicans, even in
this New England State, have only
been able to. hold their own, and that
very slight change would have re-
Yersed the result. F,

to recover from defendants certain

transportation of cotton from Colum-
bia to Charleston, which sums, the
plaintiffs nllege, were in excess of the
rates the company were authorized
by their charter to charge. A mo-
ton was made for non-suit, on the
grounds that the chnrter imposes no

that the payments were made volun-
