RESUMING SPECIE PAYMENTS.

The tendency Of the gold market is SO
steadily downward and the bottom so near
at hand that the resumption of specie pay

In the larger cities preliminary steps to

of merchandise are adapting, themselves

Nothing can indicate better the general
wish for the return to specie than these
efforts among the people to introduce
specie to circulation, causing them to
bring out their little boards and encourage
their neighbors todo SO. & All this helps To-

Thursday Morning, March 10, 1870.
WE'LL DONE, NEW HAMPSHIRE :

The Republicans of New Hampshire
did gloriousy in the election of Tuesday
The prospect before them in the campaign
was one of difficulty and doubt. Three
candidates, with as many platforms, took
the field against them, three in appearance
but one in purpose. There was the
ancient banner Of Democracy, the new
flag OF Labor Reform. and the colors of the
Temperance party all united to overthrow
the Republican party. Strange that the
party which would crush the laborer into
boutlman should be found in union with
so called labor reformers to destroy the
truest party to the lowly and laboring
class which the country has ever had, or
that temperance men should league at the
polls with the party that opposes every
where all III easures for prohibiting the
sale of intoxicating liquors. The truth OF
the matter is, as the vote shows, that the
names under which Flint and Barrows
went into the contest, were merely as
sumed by diSdfected republicans and
intriguing democrats to catch the unwary
and foolish, and had no real weight with
the classes which they purported to rep
resent The laboring men and the tenn
perance men of New Hampshire were not
found III the Labor Reform party and
Temperance party Gas they styled them
selves)on the day of election, but voted
with the republican party as usual. Nal
contents and democrats were the support
ers of Flint and Barrows. The large fall
ing off in the democratic vote from the
last year can be accounted for in no way
except upon the hypothesis that democrats
cast the most OF the vote which Flint had,
while nobody will undertake to say that
the small vote which Barrows had COM
prised any considerable part of the tenn
perance men of New Hampshire. Thus
these parties stand before the public as
repudiated by the classes in whose interest
they assumed to be formed. That they
did not succeed in accomplishing more is
due to the sturdy good sense of the people
of New Hampshire, the able efforts of the
republican press and speakers, and the
unequalled organization and discipline
which are maintained in that State. The
republicans elect their State officers and
have about their usual majority in the
Legislature, which gives them Il United
States Senator. Considering the small
republican majority in New Hampshire,
and that the election of United States
Senator depended upon the result, the re-
publieans OF, our sister State have great
reason TO be proud of their victory. The
Administration may hail it as one of the
best endorsements it could receive, and
the republican party will feel more sens
bly, its strength to deal successfully with
internal as well as external opposition.

increase the evil dreaded; now as the pre-
MUM settles the boards come out to send
it down. The large volume Of currency
which we have is going to be so increased
in value by the relative fall in gold and
products that there is no fear of scarcity
of money for business operations, but
rather fear that there will be more than
will be healthy, causing speculation and
unsafe operations. Mr.. Loughbridge can
dispense with the fifty millions additional
he called for, and bis constituents will
have more occasion to thank him than if
he pushed things and succeeded.

recent report of the Special Committee,

He minated that, in accordance with a
promise made in his Annual Message, he
would. probably. send in Special Mes

clared that, in his Judgment, it was sui
