The ELECTION IN New HAMPSHIRE.
The Springfield (NIass.) Republican
appreciates the importance of the
elections to take place in New Hamp-
shire and Connecticut in March and
April, and says it is 'far greater than
usual, and will have decided influence
on the progress and result of the
Presidential struggle" this year. It
warns its Republican friends to be-
ware of ''inaction and Mistakes"
and notes the significant fact that
change of sirieen hundred uotes, in q
total of $4,000, will give the State of
New Hampshire to the Democrats.
When the tide had but just begun
to turn, when there was no prestige
of victory inspired by Democratic
victories in other States. and when
thousands of Republicans had not
grown sick of radicalism, the Demo
cracy in 1867 knocked down the ra-
dical majority from 1855 to 3, 146, a
gain of 1910 votes. 1t is perfectly
reasonable to suppose, says the st.
Louis Republican, that they will gain
much moro in 1868, when already
scores Of prominent citizens, who in
1867 co-operated with the radicals,
have openly renounced the radical
party and joined the conservatives.
Several Republican Senators and
Representatives, understanding and
appreciating the Importance of the
matter, are now stumping these
States.

for few days past by apprehen-
sions growing out Of these threaten
ed impeachment proceedings, it is
believed, will now become more than
ever manifest"
The New York Sun says:
"This phantom of impeachment
came to its death on Thursday, and,
as we think, for the last time. The
Hon. Thaddeus Stevens moved, in
the Reconstruction Committee of the
House, to impeach the President for
ordering Gen. Grant to .disobey the
Secretary of War. He was decisive
ly voted down in the Committee,
and thus ends the attempt to divert
Congress and the country from more
pressing duties in order to punish
the constructive crimes of the Presi-
dent. Now let Congress set itself in
good earnest to the work of retrench-
ment and the alienation of taxa
tion."
The New York Herald remarks:
''The last attempt to impeach the
President has been killed in the
house of its friends. This, it will
be remembered. started from the re-
cent correspondence between the
President and Gen. Grant-the
"high crime and misdemeanor" to
be charged against the President
having apparently consisted in his
having the notion that it would be
good thing to test the tenure of of
flee bill in the Supreme Court. This
was small basis for a great project,
as the members of the Reconstruc-
tion Committee evidently thought in
voting so decidedly as they did to lay
it on the table. Radicalism begins
to see that there is something else it
must consult besides the vindictive
spirit of its wilder leaders"
The Washington correspondent of
the New York World reports a long
conversation had with Thad. Stevens
on Thursday, after the defeat of i'm
peachment in the Reconstruction
Committee, part of which we extract
in the following:
''The correspondent asked Mr..
Stevens the question, Were you
disappointed in the vote this morn
ing by the Committee?' Not bit,
sir; know all the towards in this
Congress. Long experience has en-
abled me to black mark every one of
them. d-n them!"
"What, then, is at last your opin-
ion on the question whether Mr..
Johnson will ever be impeached2"
fSir," said Mr.. Stevens, with
bitter smile, "I shall never bring up
this question of impeachment again.
1 am not going to daily with that or
any other committee in regard to it
any longer

The Impeachment Project again Dis
posed OF.

The ghost of impeachment has
again been laid. Since the process
itself was killed in the House some
months ago, Congress and the coun-
try have been haunted by its ghost.
The radical minority has been watch
ing its chance for bringing the corpse
to life again; and when Mr.. Stevens
had the subject sent to his commit
tee, it was confidently predicted that
we should now have the President
impeached and deposed from Office,
without doubt or delay. The result
reverses the confident prediction.
BY vote of sic to three, the Recon
struction Committee refuses to re-
commend impeachment, and lays the
whole subject on the table. Four of
the sic were Republicans. OF course,
Mr.. Stevens denounces this result as
due to the "cowardice" of the Re-
publicans. The New York Times
thinks that it shows that the whole
party is no longer to be dragooned
into measures which its judgment
does not approve. by the menaces
and denunciations of q clamorous
and reckless minority. Under or
dinary circumstances this would not
seem to require any very high degree
of courage; but as things have been
managed in Congress for the last two
or three years, it does require good
deal. The House disposed of this
impeachment question at the very
outset of the session. A majority of
the Republican members were against
it. Nothing has since happened to
change the merits of the case, or to
render necessary, just or wise now,
proceeding which was thus condemn
ed as impolitic and uncalled for two
months ago. The President has done
nothing since that time to offer
ground for his impeachment. His
correspondence with Gen. Grant, on
which the main reliance was placed,
discloses nothing of the kind. It in
dlcates purpose on his part to
bring the tenure of Office act to the
test of the Judicial tribunals; but
that he has an unquestioned right to
do, and this was all he attempted.
He has done nothing in regard to re-
construction. In truth, the radicals
in Congress seized on the feeling
created by the Grant correspondence,
merely to create fresh demand for
impeachment. They relied, not upon
any new facts, but upon fresh i'm
pulse of resentment against the Pre-
sident, to push the House into mea.
sures which it was hoped might re-
suit in his forcible election from
office. They have been again dis
appointed. The country will rejoice
in this result as a fresh deliverance
from complications and difficulties
full of danger to the public peace.
Congress has on its hands already
quite as many subjects of grave and
pressing Importance, as it can dis
pose of wisely. To throw into the
political arena now, SO exciting o
subject as the impeachment and vio-
lent deposition of the President-one
80 certain to arouse the hottest and
fiercest passions of the country
without some strong and overshadow-
ing necessity, would be not only to
postpone what is the great and i'm
perative demand of the times, wise

Mr.. Seward had better stop his
negotiations for the West India
islands at once, for, according to the
theory of Professor Delisser, of
Kingston, Jamaica, the earthquakes
will break out near the equator, with
redoubled violence, about March 20,
1868. The "confguration" of the
planets is said to produce extraordi-
nary terrestrial connections, not
through astrological influences, but
through the force of gravitation.
The year 1868, according to Delis-
ser's predictions, will be famous for
tremendous storms, foundations and
earthquakes. Now, rs to the parti-
cular period of the vernal equinox.
Within n few days after the COM
mencement of spring, Mercury,
Mars, Jupiter and the moon will be
in conjunction on March %, and the
sun will be in conjunction with the
moon on March "a, heavy weather
may consequently be expected. To
the inhabitants of the islands, this
theory is sufficiently alarming, for
cursory inspection of the hierogly-
phics in the almanac show that tenn
pests may be expected about every
other day in the year. To most read
ers, the Interpretation of those signs
is hopeless task; but when an un-
usual collocation of darts, hooks,
altars and sceptres appear at any
given date, the effect upon the mind
must hereafter be terrific. Mr.. Sc
ward. the Philadelphia Inquirer
thinks, should postpone his treaties
until the recurrence of some year
when the "configurations" are less
numerous.

FRAUDULENT CoTToN CASE. DIR.
John p. Thomas, of Union, had
charge of eight bales of cotton, be-
longing to different parties, which he
was authorized to dispose of. He
lost the railroad receipt, but having
samples of the cotton, found no diff
ficulty in selling the lot, minus the
receipt. The missing document was
found by Mr.. John Messer, who, on
the strength of the receipt, disposed
of the cotton to Mr.. A. Tolleson, and
obtained the money for it. When
Mr.. T. applied for the cotton, the
railroad agent refused to deliver it;
and further inquiry being made.
Messer was arrested and turned over
to Magistrate Walker for prosecution.
The money was recovered.
