THE RESULT IN NEW HAMpsHIRE.-It
appears the republican majority in New
Hampshire for governor this year is only
$3.50. In 1865 it was 6,127; in 1866
the majority was 1856 and in 1867 it was
3, JAG. The Democratic gain since last
year is 616.'
The political augurics of the New Hamp-
shire election do not seem, now that the
precise results have been ascertained, to
be quite so favorable to the radicals as was
at first assumed. They have not held their
own. This radical loss is interpreted by
the oracles of that party tomean the sane
tion of the American people to their Wild
est usurpations of power, and to warrant
the immediate dccapitation of the Prcsi-
dent. If properly interpreted, it would
be received as a condemnation of their
policy and their purposes.

United States vs.. COLUMBIA.

The Prince Georgian has received a
copy of the Panama Star and Herald, from
which il copies the following as illustra-
ting the estimation in which American In
stitutions are held in that locality:
In this State of Panama, before the year
ly sessions of the assembly take place, po-
litical parties generally meet to consider
amongst themselves such matters as thcy
intend to bring before the legislature. AT
one OF the late meetings gentleman who
had lived for some time in the United
states, and is great admirer of Ameri-
eau institutions, maintained that, by adopt
ing those institutions without DELAY, this
country would Immediately be on u level
with the Great Republic" or, in other
words, that by following the North Amer
leans we would be one of the most civil
lized people in the world. We extract
from the proceedings of the meeting Mr.
SIS reply to the gentlema' ms assertion:
Mr.. President In proposing that we
should adopt North American institutions.
iu order that we may rank amongst the
most civilized nations of the world, our
friend is merely repeating vulgarism
against which do most solemnly protest.
We are represented as an uncivilized peo-
pie; but, sir, if to do what the Ameri-
cans have done, is to be civilized, then, we
are civilized if to have done it before them
is to be ahead of them, then we are ahead
OF civilization. For what do the Ameri-
cans boast of? They have but recently
abolished slavery; we have abolished sla-
very long ago They have just proclaimed
the equality of races and are trying to hold
up the negro; we have proclaimed that
equality and held up the negro long ago.
They have only finished their first civil
war, rendered money scarce, and made
paper dollar not worth dollar. We have
had dozens of civil wars have rendered
money scarce and made paper dollars not
worth dollar long ago. They are begin
ming to tear up their Constitution, impeach
their President, set up Dictators we have
done all that long ago. They are at last
going to the devil as fast as they can; we
have gone to the devil long ago.
The argument could not be refutcd and
the meeting adjourned.

A CURIOUS PEoPHEcy OF CHARLES DICK
ENs.-- In his American Notes in 1912,
Dickens thus writes:
. Year by year the tone of public sentiment
will sink lower down; year by year the Congress
and the Seuate must become of less account be-
fore all decent men :. year by year the memory of
the fathers Of the Revolution must be outraged
more and more by the bad life of their degcne-
rate child"
Is there one man in America, outside of
the arch-anarchs of the Capitol, who will
deny the plain and bitter truth to-day of
these words spoken in 1912? Is there one
act of that batch of law-breakers at the
Capitol-panting for the carmagnole and
the red cap-who will deny that Charles
Dickens had the forecast of seer when
he penned them?

FATAL ACcIDENT.-Wc regret to record
the death of William Henderson Mccall.
son of William Mccall, one Of our most
esteemed citizens, under the following
distressing circumstances The deceased
in company with Mr.. William Bush. son
of the late Charles Bush, were cunning
on Thursday afternoon last, in New Castle
Hundred, near the residence of W. b.
Mccoy. and as the day was rainy, Mr..
Bush was carrying his gun under his coat
with the muzzle pointing forward. See
ing two other persons i'll front of him, and
fearful lest he should stumble and wound
the young men in advance of him by the
accidental discharge Of his gun, he reversed
It, not thinking, we suppose, of his COM
panlon, who was close behind him. He
had not proceeded far before he did stum-
bic, and the sudden jar, or the hamme-
catching in his clothes, caused the dis
charge of his gum, the contents of which
lodged in the right knee of young Mccall,
nfiicting a severe wound. Mr.. Bush was
greatly alarmed, and went with all possible
speed to the house of Mr.. Mccoy, commu-
nicated the tud affair to the family. pro-
cured assistance and returned with set
tee, upon which they put the wounded
young man and conveyed him to that gen
tleman's house. Word was immediately
sent to his parents, who informed DR..
Harlan, the family physician, who immc-
dlately went for the young man and
brought Mccall to hs home in this CITY.
Everything was done by the attending
physicians to alleviate his sufferings and
save his leg if possible, but in vain, and
about 8 o'clock on Friday morning it was
deemed advisable to amputatc the limb.
For this purpose chloroform was admins
tered, and Drs. Jones and Harlan proceed
cd to take off the leg. but before the work
was accomplished, or he had recovered
from the effects of the chloroform, death
terminated his sufTerings. We learn Mr..
Bush remained with him, from the time
OF the accident until late hour Thursday
night, and is greatly distressed in conse-
quence of the sad affair. Mccall was
about IL years of age, and his death casts
gloom over a large circle eff relatives and
friends. Delawore Guxcttc, of Thesddy.

and mother of James Ford, ESQ, whose
death we chronicled week or two since,
died at the residence of her son, George
A. Ford, Esq, in Cecilton, on Monday
morning last, at the advanced age Of nine
ty-three years. Mrs. +, retained all her
faculties unabated, and enjoyed excellent
health until within the past few months.
She was confincd to the invalid's couch at
the time of the death of her son, and such
was the shock Of his sudden taking off that

The McArdle Case.

The somewhat celebrated McArllc case
came up for argument, in the Supreme
Court of the United States, on Monday
last, all the Judges being present except
one. 1t was argued ON its merits. 1t will
be recollected that the petitioner, McArdle
has been charged and arrested for an
alleged violation of the reconstruction acts.
thus causing disturbance of the public
peace, disorder and violence; and of being
guilty of libel in the pu'. lication of certain
articles in the Vicksburg Times, calcula-
ted and intended to impede reconstruction
of the Southern States. He was tried be-
fore a military commission, found guilty,
and sentenced to fine and Imprisonment.
Gen. Ord, the military commander, re-
fused to release him on Habcas Corpus,
and the case was brought to the Supreme
Court. 1t was argued by Hon. Jeremiah
s. Black and Dudley Field for the, petit
toner, and NJ. H. Carpenter, of Wiscon-
sin, and Senator Trumbulf. for the govern
ment. The argument of Judge Black was
powerful one. Az the ease is one in
which the liberty of tho citizen is concerned
1t attracts good deal of attention. The
decision has not yet been made. but it is
expected that IL will be next week.

European view Of IMPEACHMENT. .,.-

The conduct of Mr. johnson in this
whole matter is inexplicable. That the
President has the constitutional right to
remove unfaithful public officers, or those
whom he considers to have acted improp-
erly, has been established in America ever
since the days of Washington. This pow
er was plain corollary deduced from the
clause of the Constitution which makes
him responsible, and him alone for the
execution of the laws; responsibility
manifcstly Incompatible with tenure Of
office by his subordinates independently of
his will. This plain prcrogative of Office
was menaced for the avowed purpose of
keeping Mr.. Stanton in the Cabinet, as a
thorn in his side; yet, despite the advice
of his friends, Mr.. johnson still de-
clined to dismiss his rebellious subordinate
and only when Congress had passed the
law was the Secretary suspended. The
President even gave an implied recogni-
ton of the validity of the law by repor-
ting to the Senate, in conformity with its
requirements, his reasons for the suspen-
sion,
Probably not man in America, GER
tainly no observer from this side. of the
water, doubted for a moment that the SEN
ate would disapprove the suspension, and
decree Mr.. Stanton's return to office. The
President saw the result coming, and dal-
lied with the emergency, in fruitless con-
tercnces with General Grant, until his Of
fetal enemy was actually back in possess
sion OF the War Department. He then
openly quarrcllcd with the General, in
structed him to obey no orders from the
Secretary of War, and finally directed Mr..
Stanton's removal. Every step that he
has taken has come too late FOR the object
intended. His conduct has been marked
by hesitation signally in contrast with
the resolute aggression of his advcrsarics.
lie has displayed most paradoxical COM
pound of irresolution and firmness. He
is Athclstanc the Unrcady he halts, hesi

pcrativcly necessary to anticipate attack

is immovable in his firm resistance when
the attack does come, however unprcpared
it may find him.
The unprecedented condition of affairs
in America comes at n moment most dis
astrous for the welfare of the country. 4
few daysaago we pointed out how COM
pletcly the whole reconstruction scheme
of Congress had toppled to the ground.
BY simply refrainins from doing anything.
the South rendered the Congressional poll
cy aborive, and the State of Alabama
has led the way in demonstrating its signal
future. This has no doubt cxasperated
the Republicans beyond measure; for they
must devise and execute some new scheme.

adieu to their cherished ex pcctation of
