lated statement Of the New York Mercantile
Agency shows that the entire number of BUSH
ness failures in the United States for the year
1869 was 2799, with liabilities reported at
$75 900, against 260s in the year previous,
and S63774 900 of liabilities. The proportion
of Maine in 1869 was SO failures and $842, 900
liabilities; in 1868, 70 failures, with 1904 900 of
liabilities. The statement sums up with the
following review:
The results o. the years trade has not been.

business men have added but little to their
surolus: some have barely helu their own. and

with dlsOrganized state of labor and an al.
most hopeless political condition, was for a
year or two so tardy as to lead to much disaI-
polntment; but its very tardIuess is pledge OF
Its 81 stability, and the substantial results which
have been achieved in the South in 1869 are
not only marvellous in themselves, but full of
promise Tor the whole country tor the future.
The results, so far as the trade of the year is

turning from this section OF the country, the
business of the year elsewhere, as before OBJ

return, in view of the capital employed, the
volume aud extent of the trade, or the capacl-
| ~ engaged.
But while there has not been a universal
profit, and while there has been loss in many
instances, the disasters of the year have not
been nearly as great as might have been anti

amount have the failures of 1869 been exces.

and, above all, the large depreciation in values,
which the year has witnessed. Compared with

Nh. DICKENS ExPLANATIoN.-The words
Of Mr.. Dickens, the explanation of which
wss telegraphed to this country Saturday
morning, were those he uttered in Birming-
lam some time ago, which were variously
Z ,mmented upon. He then said my faith
Il the people governing is in6nitessimaI; my
fifth In the people governed is illimitable.'
This might be taken in either of two ways, as
having faith in the people as against the rul-
Ing class; or Is having faith in the people
snly when they were in leading strings. Com
meats were made on both grounds. and still
tas expression remained obscure. Mr.. Dick
ems has now made another speech at the same
pace, and expla ned what he intended to say
before-namely. that he puts infinite trust in
the masses-none whatever in the so called
ruling class. This explanation is calculated
to give Mr.. Dickens friends in this country
much satisfaction.

Both political parties in New HAMPSHIRE
have now placed their candidates and plat
forms before the people. So far as candi-
dates are concerned, both have chosen good
men. Gov. Stearns has consented to serve
another term, at a great sacrifice OF personal
feeling, but his friends felt that the State
could not spare his services.
So tar as Platforms are concerned there is
m lch to choose between the two parties
The following are the principal points in
which they differ:
The Democrats declare in favor of paying
the debt In greenbacks aid taxing United
States bonds; the Republicans declare that
TINS us on another form of reputation"
Inc Democrats denounce the second recon.
sruction Of Georgia and the fifteenth amend
msnt, while the Republicans commend both.
The Republicans have incorporated two
pianks into their platform that will introduce
new features in the next campaign In New
Hampshire. They are as follows:
kssc,ved, That Ia view OF the wide spread and
S,a.m,ne rava!es OF intempeTance in ur State, we

INST considered In the eRis alton the state AND
wisely Designed 20 romofe the moral and nationa
property OF the industrial classes shoud and vii
reee the ready and earnest support OF the Repub-
lean patty.
By the passage Of these resolutions New
Hampshire Republicans have committed
eiemselves to both the temperance and the
l.eor reforms, and will gain strength there
fom. The Republican party everywhere il
q .tuially the ally of all progressive and hr-
m unitarian movements, and now that Il e
Z estions that were the occasion of its forms.
Ton are being solved and are becoming obso-
lete, 1t Is curious to notice how it nstinctively
e'mes forward as the championof other causes
that are equally deserving of support.
Another peculiar feature of the Republican
platform is that it declares in favor of the re-
peal Of the ranking privilege resolution
wiich will cause the senior editor of The Tri-
oane to bless the hour that he was born in
New Hampshire.
There are many and bitter personal quar-
rels among the Republicans of the Granite
State. The controversy between Rollins and
Chandler on one side and Fogg on the other
Is raging as violently as ever, and the parties
thereto abuse each other in style that would
be immensely creditable n New York-but
nowhere else. These unfortunate circun-
stances are all that can place the good cause
In jeopardy on the 9Th of March when the
election occurs.
