THw ELECTION IN VIRGINIA CITY.-The
friction Of old, bitter Senatorial Hntago.
nism in the Union party OF Storey
" has too widely suudcrcd men who
should be acting in concert, for the
good Of tho party. Divorces are the
natural result of long continued bick-
erings and opposing purposes. We
are not disposed to uuderra,e the COM
pletcness Of the victory achieved 10y
tho Democrats by adopting the rebel
self.comfort under difficulties aud
stylinc ii a :" blessing in Disguise
But we are not willing to accept this rs
a forecast Of the vote in Virginia city
next Fall. We think we can under
stand the possibility Of o municipal
fight being won by the influence exertod
By the reiguing administration Of such
municipality. The patronage to be dis
peused by the purity in power mast DC
taken into account for it is certain 10
have more or less Of n direct bearing
upon the action Of u certain class, which,
in cities, is, unfortunately of a very con
siderable numerical force. From per-
sons who were in Virginia, on Monday,
we learn that Copperhsad money was
spent aud Copperhead tickets peddled
by men who have beon heretofore eoun-
ted as Union men and who, il is safe to
conjecture will be found working and
voting for Grant in November next
The reverse just sustained-may prove n
beneficial lesson TO such Of the party as
have too lightly considered the value
and necessity for harmony and strict
discipline ; and il such should be th'
effect land we confidently trust that
greater determination to win n victory
10 November, and not n sense Of demon,
alization, may be awakened thereby
the lesson may prove to have been no
too dearly bought. Carson Appeal.

"A correspondent of the London Telegraph
says that road steamer, machine like q
small railway engine set upon three wheels,
one in front and two behind, has of late fire.
ouently been seen travelling between Leith
and Edinburgh. This machine weighs about
five tons, is capable of drawing sixty tons at
slow pace on o good road, of going over the
toughest road ard climbing the steepest, and
of travelling over ploughed land with the most
perfect ease. Tho inventor is Mr.. II. H..
Thomson, Of Edinburgh, who is also the IN
yentor of various other ingenious pieces OF
mechanism. The letter referred to says: zine
peculiarity of the new road st:amer is that its
three wheels are covered with largo tires or
hoops of India rubber, about five inches thick
and two feet broad, being the largest castings
of India rubber ever made, and costing each
about fifty or sixty pounds. Tho India rubber
tires take hold of the ground like an elephants
foot. They spread over hollows and stones
and other instructions sink into their elastic
embrace. In short, they solve tho problem OF
road steamers completely"

WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 26. 1868
The struggle in the Granite State.

All ewes are turned towards New Hamp-
shire. az the first State that will speak
through the ballot-box on the great issues
of 1858. She elects her Governor on the
second Tuesday in March. The Radical
candidate is WALTER HARTMAN; while the
Democrats have nominated JOHN g. SIN
CLAIR upon platform denouncing the Con-
gressional policy as revolutionary, urging
The exercise of justice and magnanimity
toward the South, favoring equal taxation
and public economy, opposing repudiation'
negro suffrage and sumptuary laws. Atthe
Gnbernatorial election in 1866 the Radical
majority was 1856, and in 1867 it was Sl46.
AS the coming election is the first of any
impor. ance of the elections of 1868, the
result is awaited with intense anxiety by
both parties. Neither money OF pains have
been spared on either side to secure the
victory. The Radicals confidently insist
that they will hold their own, while the
Democratic party is equally certain that
the Radical majority will be largely reduced,
and it even hopes to carry the State. Many
will regard the issue as settling the question
whether the reactionary movement watch
developed itself last autumn is still in prog
ress. and as in some measure foreshadow-
ing the result of the Presidential campaign
The revolutionary events now in progress
at Washington will add q new and Irving
issue to struggle which was already sufh-
ciently close and bitter.

Cheek."

The New York Tribune complains that, in
New York, corruption is the rule and hon
esty the exception" and that, throughout
the country, "millions are lost TO the rev.
enue, taxation is increased, public conf
dence is destroyed and corruption is re-
duced to fixed science" And, to cap the
climax, it proclaims that "hcrc is chance
for Mr.. JOHNSON to execute the laws !"
Under this present Congress, composed, in
great measure, of the disciples of the Tri-
bune, Mr. JOHNSON has about as much con-
troll of the Executive Department of the
government as the Emperor of China. The
public corruption is due to the Republican
party, which in controlling the nominations
of the President, relieves him of all respon-
sibility in relation to the conduct of the
public officials. 1t is notorious fact that
