Our Securities Looking Up in Wall Stree

Our Securities Looking Up in Wall Street.
Thus far in the season speculative dulness
has prevailed to an unusual extent on the
Stock Exchange, if we except government Sc
curities, for which there has been heavy in
vestment and foreign demand since impeach-
ment was killed by the first vote in the Senate.
Now, however, signs of animation are becom-
ing visible in the dealings in railway shares,
and Reading and Cleveland and Pittsburg are
leading the upward movement, the bulls being
meanwhile as hopeful as the bears are dsap-
pointed. But the main volume of bust
tional securities, which are relatively far
cheaper than any Of the speculative stocks.
The time is close at hand when the supply Of
bonds will be stopped by reason Of all the
seven-thirty notes being funded and the effect
Of this in the face Of the heavy demand now
being experienced is easily foreseen. The in
qniry for fve-twenties in Germany is particu-
larly active, and on Saturday they were
quoted on the Frankfort Bourse as high as
az, including the accrued interest, which is
not counted in the London quotation.
On the st Of the present month there were
little more than hundred millions Of seven
thirty notes outstanding, and by the lst Of July
nearly the whole Of this amount will
have been converted into 6ve-twsnty bonds,
and the gold bearing debt will thus have prac-
tically reached its maximum. The natural
operation Of this in stimulating the demand
for bonds will be increased by the disburse-
ment in July by The Treasury Of nearly thirty
two millions of coin in payment Of interest on
the public debt and about eight millions more
in redemption Of the bonds Of l5i3, which ma
ture on the | ct proximo. Simultaneously there
with thirty millions, more or less, will be dis
bursed by the banks and other corporations
throughout the country in payment Of their
semi annual interest and dividends, and much of
the aggregate will Ia like manner seek reinvest-
ment in our national securities while under

The Suicidal Mania No. Yet Ended.

The Suicidal Mania NOT Yet Ended.
Four cases of self-murder in one day-three
in this city and one near West Hoboken, New
Jersey-inform us that the suicidal mania is
not yet ended. At an early hour yesterday
morning George W. Bedding, q London banker
confined in the Ludlow street Jail on charge
of attempting to defraud his creditors, was
discovered lying dead on the floor of his room,
CHASTITY wound in his throat and razor
lying near by telling how and with what the
deed was done. At somewhat later hour an
unknown man assembled the steps Of Catholic
divine's residence, pushed open the unfastened
door, then, seating himself down, placed the
barrel of pistol against his head and fred the
charge The ball passed through the brain,
and the wretched being fell upon the floor
corpse. All that is known Of the third case
that occurred in this city is that the body Of
man who is supposed to have committed suicide
was lying at the Morgue. The last case is that
ola man who hanged himself on the plank road
between West Hoboken and Secaucus. Such
is the record of one day in this city and imme-
date vicinity. The suicide of the banker was
evidently the result of alteration of mind
caused by his position; but, except from con-
lecture, we know nothing of the others. To
what extent this epidemic of self-murder will
60 we cannot even imagine. 1t has become the
custom now for human being to seek refuge
from troubles Of all kinds in death, and it
would appear as if all remonstrance and teach
ings against this method of fleeing from known
evils were wholly lost. That moment of re-
Election which would save the soul of mortal
from terrible crime is never had, and 80 the
spirit is launched into eternity wholly unpre-
pared, from the very manner of it's departure,
to meet that God who placed it in the body.
There must be something wanting in our phi
losophy and some unsupplied demand in our
religion that renders men and women so reck-
less of the lives that are not their own, and
that, though they can take, they can never
give

with women the contrary is the case. Thus,
whenever vessel is sunk at sea and q number
Of their sex is on board, their danger of being
lost is always considerable. We trust that the
hope of some Of the missing ones being saved
may be realized, and we also trust that If the
collision was caused by the negligence OF any
one on board Of the steamer or bark he
may Gf among the saved) be held to strict
accountability for this last and terrible catas-
trophe. -

hitherto done, both at home and abroad.
Meanwhile the signs Of the times in Wall street

SHAMEFUL ABUsE.-Some of the more
abandoned democrats (more properly
called copperheads) in Walpole, were SO
elated at the election of their represen-
tatives, supposing in their happy hallu-
cination that the whole State was going
the same way, that they lost all decency
in conduct, and we are informed COM
menced the most shameful abuse of Mr..
Hitchcock, who made the republican can
vass Of that town. OF course the more
respectable democrats not only disap-
proved this but even demonstrated against
this element, which they SO often find in
their party. 1t will be no injury to Mr..
Hitchcock, however, and besides his can
vass was actually within taco of the actu-
al republican majority on moderator and
clerk, and considering the aggregate
number of votes cast, 431, it is the most
close canvass yet reported, and the fact
that few republicans left the hall and
thus lurched the party ON Representatives
and selectmen was of course no fault of
his canvass.

New Hampshire Election!
A GLORIOUS UNION TRIUMPH

The result of the most hotly contested
election ever held in New Hampshire or
any other state, is grand victory of the
Union party, re-electing Gen. HARTMAN
by near 5000 majority. Both branches
of the legislature and Uncommon coun-
Gil are also overwhelmingly republican.
To the democracy" Of that state it is a
perfect Waterloo Bull Run disaster, and
the whole country is rejoicing ever the
triumph.
Below we give the vote of the princi-
pal towns and cities, including the re-
turns from such towns in this section as
have been received.

luton:
Resolved, that Congress in impeaching
President johnson is entitled to and shall
receive our sympathy and support.

and Geo. Slate and C. b. Eddy for the
negative. The resolution was also OPP
posed by c. +. Eddy and Mr.. Royce Of
Walpole, and favored by Geo. A. Clark

animated at the close, and the board of
decision on the weight Of argument de-
cided in favor Of the negative. A pre-

RESIDENCE OF VOTERS IN N. H.-The
contest as to the residence of voters in
N. H., is sometimes amusing. Be-
tween Lapgdon and Alstead there is a
house which stands in Alstead, putthe L
part stands in Langdon, and as the person
slept in the L part he was made q voter
in that town. A promising young dem
ocrat just out of his pinfeathers, lost his
residence as voter in Charlestown, N.
H., because his mother had moved out of
that town some two weeks before election.
The young voter is said to have wept
when he ascertained that his name wasn't
on the check list.

The New Bishop of Vermont

BURLINGTON, VI, March IL.
Rev. William H. A. Bissell, d. D., of
Geneva, N. Y, was to-day elected Bishop
of the Diocese of Vermont, by the Pro-
testant Episcopal Convention, held in St.
Passi's Church in this city. There was
considerable difficulty in efecting a
choice, and this result was arrived at by
mutual concessions, and as the result of
a compromise between the High and Low
church parties, it being understood that
DIR. Bissell has not been prominently
identified with either.

friends Upon one occasion Mr.. Ham

the following poetical correspondence:

For you TO certify,
When you have looked it through
With your discerning eye,
That il is expected

Nor in it found flaw:
You can also say, which will be no mistake,
That authorized acknowledgements to take.

Whereupon Mr.. Williams replied:
FRIEND HAMMOND,
That you re justice is as plain
AS vote and canvass e 'er can make it;

And yet you see undertake 1t.
If all could know you as / know,
Superfuous were eertifeation;

WEsTMINsTER.-"M Mine Host" and
lady were agreeably surprised with the
entrance of sixty citizens on Tuesday
last, into their neatly arranged home.
Finding the latch-strings all out and
lamps trimmed and burning we entered,
and found among the guests the Rev. F.
j. Fairbanks and lady, Geo. Rust and
lady, (of Walpole) Maj. Page, jeremiah
Hunt, ETC., representing the parish from
her southern shore to her northern cline,
from the river to "rocky hill" After
spending few hours in social interview,
interspersed with instrumental and vocal
music, meantime partaking of the rich
collation. amply provided for the inner
man, the sociable was closed by singing
"Old Hundred" and prayer, invoking
the blessing of God to rest upon the as
sembly in general, and "Mine Host" and
wife especially, dedicating their home to
the especial purpose to which it is we
trust worthily set apart, feeling better
satisfied than when we met, hoping that
the same feeling was reciprocated to our
friend Danforth and lady not only in
the interchange of friendly words, but in
the feeble attempt to make them bene-
ficiaries.

THE NEws.-There was the most in
tense interest ever known in this village
to get the election news from New Hamp-
shire, and even as soon as the polls were
known to be open anxious inquiries be-
gan to be made. Nearly hundred citi-
zens of Vermont including some as far
off as Athens and Grafton went over to
Walpole to attend the election. The
democrats were as cross over it as
hornets nest, and made expressions about
it more emphatic than polite. One of
them told Westminster man to " go
home to his id niger state" but
the result proves that niggerism isn't
exactly confined to Vermont. In this
village news had been expected in the
fore part of the evening from the neigh
boring towns, but there was no operator
in the telegraph Office, and the reports
brought in by democratic railroad men
on the evening trains were unfavorable
and there was consequently a depression
among the republicans, and correspond
ing citation among the democrats. Later
in the evening, this pail was lifted, and
next morning there was no bounds to the
union joy, and one soldier declared it
" the greatest union victory of the war"

The union men of Walpole began
their election well ON Tuesday and ended
we'll, but there was bad joke in the
middle. The vote was close as is frequent
in that town, but the union party elected
their moderator by 8 majority. The
next ballot was for town clerk and their
candidate was also elected by 10 major
ity. Thus at this point everything was
going on nicely, when four union men
went to their dinners just as the voting
commenced for representatives, and did
not return in season to vote, by which
the democratic candidates thus slipped
in one by one and the other by tao ma
jority! The union men then attempted
to rally and save their selectmen, but
some of their voters from this place re-
turned on the noon train and it was thus
too late, but made rally on State ticket,
and at the end of the day finally came
out with majority for Hartman. 1t
was we'll fought contest and only marred
by the " slip-up" in the middle of the
day. We have reports, however, that
turns the joke on the other side. 1t is
said the seat of the representative who
had but one majority, will be contested
on the ground that one man voted for
him twice, and that the other representa-
tive is not eligible! We cannot vouch
for this but such is the report which
comes to us on Wednesday. The vote of
Walpole is the highest ever thrown in
that town being 431 on moderator, which
is 81 higher than on State ticket last
year. There were 20 union voters on
the check list, and 10 democrats who
were not present to vote. The union
party of Walpole made gallant fight,
and what little they lost has been most
amply and gloriously made up in other
parts of the state.
