THE NEW HAMPsaIR : ELEC-
TON.

The election last week in New
Hampshire for state officers resulted in
q glorious Republican triumph Gov
Stearn's majority over all the candi-
dates is 1870, a result that was al
most unlocked for in consideration of
the multiplicity Of candidates brought
forward to distract and divide the Re-
publican party The Labor Reform
aud Ten perance organizations each had
a candidate in the field, thus introduc-
ing two tickets intended todisturb and
embarrass the unity of the Republicans
in the support of their candidate Gov,
Stearns. The law Of New Hampshire
provides that candidate to be elected
must have a majority of the votes cast
"a mere plurality Of votes not being
sufficient to elect, and where q candi--
date fails Of obtaining q majority vote
the election then goes into the legisla
ture-that body making the election.
i was fondly an icipated by cur Dem
oeratc fr ends that this result would
be obtained By the great diversity of
inlel ests in the canvass, in which case
they we're not without hope that all
the different elements ia the legisla-
ture uniting Bi:h the Democrats would
give them the Governor, or at least
elect some one not the regular Repub-
lican nominee, and enable them to
spread it before the country as an eyi
dence of the decline of Republican
popularity. But the figures show how
signally these deep laid plans failed,
md the vital strength and cohesiyeness

The DECLINE IN GoLD.-The last
quotation on goldis 1.124. Within the
past few weeks there has been some
thing of a tumble in the commodity,
although it has been at lower figure
than the above quotation. Many DIFF
ferent causes are assigned for the de-
cline, opinions differing widely on f.
nancial matters. That we are gradu-
ally reaching a specie basis seems to
admit of no doubt. Secretary Bout
wells policy appears to favor return
to specie payment as soon as practica
bic. Most of the people think the
result may be reached too soon for the
best interests of the country.
Fer some time past we have been
exporting more products than were re-
quired to Pay for our imports, leaving
the balance in our favor, Gold is no
part of our currency proper, and these
payments for our produce eased the
market. Having to pay Europe moth
ing, lessened the demand for gold, and
it has gradually been coming down.

NEW Ice MAKING MACHINK-There comes
from Germany a promise of relief from the
want OF ice. A certain Franz Windhausen of
Brunswick, has invented a new machine for
freezing water without the aid of chemicals
The process takes place in cylinder, "where
the AIR l. INST powerfully condensed, then cooled
bv the admission Of water, and finally expanded
till its pressure is about equal to that of the
atmosphere" By this means, il is asserted, the
very astonishing result II obtained OF lowering
the temperature of the air to fifty degrees
Celsius, -four degrees Fahrenheit so that
when conducted in moderate qualities into a
space through which the water flows, "the
water l. almost Immediately turned into ice, of
which enormous blocks may thus be obtained IL
desired" The invention will also, 1T is said, be
applicable 20 the cooling of large apartments,
such a theatres, hospitals and churches.

cause riots by the old and the young children.
