rhe strength of the Republican Party.

Hampshire speech, said:
There is one other thing which /
wish to mention tonight. Gen. Grant
is at the head of the party. Thank
God that he can criticise it. A party
that can probe and uncover its sores
can grow strong and healthy by self
probing. What has it done this last
week but to take one of its own mem
bers, found TO be corrupt, and driven
him by a unanimous vote from the
halls of Congress. Did you ever find
the Democratic party in pursuit of any
corruption within its own ranks except
to fatten on it Did you ever find
them hunting up those who lived upon
the plumber of the public treasury
within their own ranks, and bringing
them to condign punishment? | am
proud to belong to party so conscious
Of the rectitude of Its intentions and
the strength OF its position that it can
bear to have the plain truth told it by
its own friends; aud assure you that
| take great pleasure in bringing to
you the message of the President him
self, given to me yesterday, and to
show you that all departments of the
Government, Executive IS we'll as Leg
islative, are to be united in the work
of reducing the public expenditures
The Democratic party are the same as
it was twenty years ago, and seems to
take no note of passing events. 1t is
still haunted by the negro, bat he rises
as it fights, and all efforts to crush him
have lifted him higher and higher,
till he has tahen his seat as Peer Of
the Saulsburys, in the very scat of
Jefferson Davis. What new claim has
the Democratic party to put forth that
shall justify the people in restoring it
to power? 1t has none; If, on the
other hands candid and fair review
of what the Republican party has
done, and is capable of doing. has Civ
en- generous pledge Of what it will
do, does it not make every one of the
good and patriotic citizens of New
Hampshire stand stronger and frmer
in bis adherence to the principles and
the organization of that party?
Another instance. comes this week
in the telcgraphic reports, where Rep
resentative Logan criticises the opin-
ions of Gen. Sherman, and says that
the legislator MUST not be influenced
by any army officer to act in direct op.
position to his settled ideas of right.

PUBLIC EcoNoMY.--Last week We
gave an extract from DAVIS New
Hampshire speech, comparing the re-
eeipts and expenditures of the las
year of Johnsun's administration with
the first of President Grants. Speak,
er Blair has written a letter on thu
same subject, in which he says:
tt will be observed that the receipts
are $4,000, 900 more in Gen. Grant,
first year than in Mr.. Johnson's 5 last
year. Over $50 900, 900 OF this mus

A CRASH.
Fall of q Dwelling House from II,
Foundation.

About half-past o'clock, last night, the
residents of the Fourth ward were startled
by what almost everybody correctly con
ceved to be the noise of falling building.
Men, women and children rushed to the
street, and, by crowd that had gathered
at the corner Of Washington avenue and
Eighteenth street, were enabled to locate
the scene of disaster.
A two-story frame building, adjoining
the brick on the corner, had fallen from
the blocks that formed its support dis
lance Of six or eight feet, to the ground,
causing crashing noise that was heard
all over the city. Immediately succeeding
the crash, the outcries of children were
heard, creating, for the moment, the i'm.
preston that our city had been visited with
II disaster, the counterpart Of that occa-
stoned by the fall of the Egyptian block.
Fortunately, however, the building did not
| go to pieces. Tho occupants, Mrs. Clutter
and her three children, were removed by
means of ladder from the second story
window in perfect safety, having suffered
nothing more serious than u terrible
fright.
| The building is badly damaged, and now
lies wrenchcd out of shape, and SO broken
and smashed up, as to render its repair
quite out of the questions. In its descent i,
crushed down about fifty feet of Mr.. Wal
tiers side fence, and injured to some extent
his shrubbery. The kitchen portion Of
the building vents to pieces.
The fall Of the building is ascrbcd to AZ
insufficient foundation. Like many othel
buildings in the city, it was pcrched ur
on Embraced blocks some of them not NOR,
than byi inches. Had il fallen during
the day time it is altogether probable tina
