NFW HAMPSHIRE.

The democrats of New Hampshire have
succeeded in securing the organization of
the Legislature and the next Governor of
the State. The republicans contested the
ground well in the legislature, but it was
too late to retrieve the errors which they
made in the campaign. The labor reform
ers and malcontents coalesced with the
democrats, receiving due share of the
offices for their aid in turning the State
into the hands of the enemy. Fortunate
ly this adhesion to the democracy strips
them of the false colors under which they
organized, and renders them unable to
deceive unwary and honest republicans
in the future. 1t is plain now that their
steps could lead nowhere except into the
democratic party, whittier they denied
they were bound when charged with the
fact. The plans of the leaders have sue
eeeded well so far but their little arrange
ment viii fail at the next election. There
is no doubt that New Hampshire is soundly
and surely republican, and will give
majority for the republican presidential
candidate in 1872. The democrats have
gained no strength in the State the last
year on the popular vote. but taking ad-
vantage of the shortcomings of the re-
pubicans, their apathy and divisions. they
succeeded in gaining few offices which
they viii lose again in the first contes, =,
the polls. That is all there is in the cleo
ton of Weston and the organization of
the legislature by the democrats
The Governor and Council come together
to-day for the purpose Of confirming noni-
nations and transacting any other business
which may demand their attention.

The Baltimore American says sit would be
q great mistake to suppose that Mr.. Davis
speeches find no applause and his sentiment
no support. The newspapers of the interior
of the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, and Tennessee are nearly unanimous
in his behalf From these States no dele
gates could be sent TO the next democratic
National Convention who would acquiesce in
the New Departure. A repetition of the
Charleston split of 1860 is decidedly within the
range Of probabilities in 1872.

morning. 1t is the principal city of North
ern Georgia and next to Savannah in CONNER
cial importance, being great railroad centre
through which large part of the staple
southern crops pass north. 1t is in more
fourishing condition than most of the South
ern cities. The State capital is now located
there.
All day Monday we were passing through
the cotton fields of Georgia and Alabama, the
two great cotton States, and were much
pleased with the country as compared with
that of North and South Carolina. About G
p. M. we arrived at Montgomery, the capital
Of alabama, and a very handsome city. Here
we took the train of the Montgomery and
Florida Railroad, having the only really fine
cars on the whole route to Mobile. We also
luxuriated in Pullman Palace Sleeping car.
That prince of "sleepers," seems to have
extended his coaches now nearly over the con-
tinent and l don't believe its people will be
ungrateful. The whole face of the country is
changed to-day, and we have seen many
very handsome plantations and residences,
Tuesday morning early found us at the
Tensaw river, the railroad terminus. of our
route. They are building substantial bridge
across the river so as to have all-rail commu-
nication with Mobile, which is now reached
by means of the cOmpany's steamboat est.
Elmo" On board this boat we took very
poor breakfast, and after a journey in the
rain of about three hours down the river and
across the head of Mobile bay, we landed at
that city, and were driven to the famous Bat
tie House. Why that hotel should be famous,
we failed to discover. 1t must be from ira
dition as it certainly would not bear any
comparison to our second-rate houses north
in the line of eating at least.
The city of Mobile is, or rather was,
handsome one, and even now retains most of
its natural beauty; but its artificial adorn
ment has gone in great part to decay.
1t has never regained its ante-war impor.
lance, and was so much shattered by the ter
rible explosion of ammunition, which occurred
there after its occupation by our troops in the
latter year of the war, that much of the city
it is supposed, by the careless handling of
shells by the negroes, who were carrying
them into large cotton warehouse. By it
about 500 people, men, women and children,
mostly colored, were blown into fragments,
and nearly a mile square of brick buildings
was almost completely demolished. Cotton
buying and selling is the important business
of the town. Great quantities of that staple
are shipped hence to New York. Boston, and
Europe. The city contains population of
something less than 40, 000 1-3 of which, at
least, are colored. 1t is now under demo-
cratic rule, as is pretty much the case in the
whole State, the republicans very foolishly
losing their power by party quarrels, which
seem to be the great bane of the republican
party in all the Southern States.
But enough Of this hasty letter. We will
try and continue the trip in our next with
some observations on the Southern people
and their politics, etc. CLAIMING.

The Augusta Chronicle is authorized bv
Alexander ii. Stephens to say, in explicit
terms, that he regards the thirteenth amend.
ment as a valid part of the Constitution, be-
cause it was duly ratified by the Southern
States; but that he does not regard the four.
teenth and fifteenth amendments as valid
parts Of the the instrument, because they were
carried "by violent displacement of the
regular governments Of the Southern States,
and the erection in their stead of military
despotism."

down the bush once in about four years, and
allow new growth of wood from the old root.

A Southern Democratic paper of some sa-

going, for the sake of individual success, to
indorse all the Radicals have done, and to
come on their platform for the sake of getting
Northern votes, it might be better for the
Southern Democrats to make their bargains
with the radicals themselves, and obtain the
benefits to be derived therefrom.

The True Mobility of Earth.

The Legislature of Alabama (says the
Memphis Appeal,) agreed to pay three
lawyers, employed in the Stanton Rail-
road suit at Knoxville, 10000. One OF
these General JamesiH. Clanton, was
Killed and left his family poor. The
other two; Messrs. Stone and Clopton,
transferred their interest in the fee OF
$40, 600 to General Clanton's widow. A
deed like this, of two lawyers, neither
rich, redeems an age and country. Sell

anything of that sort. They will be, on
the contrary, honesty in the administra,

the extirpation of fraud venality in

land, of moneys getting and money-spend-
ing in politics, of b~ibe-taking and gift
