From Crete-Murder of sixty Chris
IianS, etc.

1iRns, etc.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-Accouuts
from Crete, just received here relate 10
the massacre, committed near the end OF
January, Of upwards Of sixty Christians
by the Turks, in the fortresses of Heyactoa
and Phetymans. The Grand Vizier at first
undertook to punish the murderers, instead
of which he gave a cordial welcome to
their chiefs. The Christians of the two
towns were 50 indignant at this proceeding
that they applied to the Consuls and the
Russian Admiral, Boutkof, for permission
TO be conveyed to Greece
The Cretans continue to maintain their
independence, and although fresh Turkish
troops have arrived on the island, no battle
Of any Importance has recently taken
place.
Greece has become the asylum not only
of the Cretans, but also of Ephyrate fam
lilies, who leave Ephyrus in increased num-
bers 10 order to escape Turkish oppression.
The ministerial crisis at Athens lead 10
the withdrawal of the coalition, and the
formation Of Bulgeri and Cabinet, the new
administration having issued a proclama-
ton to the people on the 9Th Of February,
which characterizes the forthcoming Par
liamentary elections az destined to express
the opinion and will Of the people, and
which engage the utmost regard for the
maintenance Of law and order, 30 that ali
the aspirations Of the Greeks, and their
sympathy for their suffering compatriots
may he attained and displayed without
violence Of the constitution, and without
interruption of peace. The proclamation
is equally emphatic in respect TO the assist
ance due the suffering Cretan families.

DRAKE, of Missouri, who is par excel

a champion for whatever party pays best,
and not worth his rations on any side
has introduced a resolution into the
United States Senate, declaring that,
when that body sits as the Court of I'm
parchment, the Chief Justice, as its pre-
siding officer shall be addressed as "Mr.
President" simply. This is apparently a
trivial matter, but it is significant of the
restiveness which the forsworn partisans
of the Senate feel in the presence of any
thing which represents justice or law.

Whole vote, 6O,7O6; majority against

Notwithstanding this decisive popular
majority against suffrage the Radicals in
Connecticut have pressed the measure be-
fore each successive Legislature until it
stands as above stated. The question be-
fore the people next month will, therefore,
be whether they shall elect members of
the Legislature who will again attempt to
force this obnoxious scheme upon the peo-
pie.
If il were practicable, the Radical mana.
gers would, in view Of the timidity dis
played last week on the part of the Radi-
cal majority in the House of Representa-
lives. withdraw the negro proposition.

its head, the Radical party stands a chance
OF being defeated in Connecticut by deci

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTIONS
ITS SIGNIFICAECE.
The Concord Patriot gives full returns
of the election in New Hampshire, and
sums up the result as follows:

This net gain is the reduction of the
Radical majority for Governor last year.
1t is stated as a well known fact that last
year Hartman did not carry the whole
vote of his party. Several hundred
"Stearns men" cut his name off the tick>
ct, and voted the rest of it BY referring
to the vote for Railroad Commissioner it
will be seen that the Radical majority
last year was really 1850. This year
Hartman carries the whole Radical
strength, and his majority is oslo This
shows Democratic net gain of 834 The
Philadelphia Morning Post a rabid Rad
ical sheet, said in its issue of the llth
instant
New Hampshire has gloriously repro
claimed herself Republican, and indorsed
the impeachment of the President. Know
ing how close the canvass has been, and
how little change one year makes in the
voting population of that State, we did not
expect a large Republican gain. The total
vote in 1867 for Governor was 68, COS, and
the majority for Hartman 3l46. The
average majority in the last six years has
been about 1000, 1867 showing Demo
cratic gain. The four thousand majority,
which the Republicans rolled up yester-
day, restdfes the old supremacy of the par
ty. As general thing, small gains either
way prove little, but gain of eight hun
dred votes, at this time, has glorious sig
! nifcance. The Democrats never made a
more energetic canvass. Mr.. johnson Gid
bis best, but New Hampshire sustains Con-
gress, and has pronounced her verdict in
| anticipation of the Senate"
If gain Of eight hundred in New
Hampshire would have had "a glorious
significance for impeachers, what sig
nifcance attaches to a Radical loss OF
that NUMBER IfNew Hampshire "has
pronounced her verdict in anticipation OF
the Senate, it certainly is not in favor
of impeachment Immediately after the
election, the Radical press, like the Post,
claimed the result as an Endorsement OF
impeachment but since the full returns
show a Democratic gain of several huns
dred, that claim has been abandoned
Whatever significance attaches to the
New Hampshire election, it is decidedly
against the wild and revolutionary
scheme of impeachment, based solely ups
on political difference and the desire of
Congress to monopolize the duties and
prerogatives of the Executive
