yFS1FrD1yS DEFE1rITs LESSON


New-Hampshire is always Republican on q
Presidential election often close on any other.
But it has not gone Democratic since 1854,
until yesterday when We seem to have lost the
Governor, all the Congressman, the Council,
and probably the Senate while the HOuse is
only claimed for The Republicans by a majority
of from ten to twenty, in body of over three
hundred members. On the vote from 165
towns the Republicans gain on last years vote
$50, while the Democrats gain 3436, net
Democratic gain of 2,476.
New Hampshire has not become Democratic.
This vote means mainly, if not wholly,
Republican apathy, born of Over-conf-
dence and the continuous triumphs of
sixteen years, and Republican disaifec-
ton, engendered by local quarrels, liquor,
and the unwise and untimely Sumner trouble.
1t is not by the continuance of such causes
that parties are saved; and if the lesson is
to be learned, in time for 1872, it has not heen
given us a north too soon. Let us take 1t
for warning and Indictment; and close mp the
ranks.

DAVIS since, Chicago journal combating the
statement of Michigan salt-boiler that his
Salt could not be produced for less than Sit
ner barrel with the inquiry-"Why shohld
"the West pay double for Salt because you
" cannot mako it for less2" Now if Eu-
rome wonld oiuo us Salt, and bring it to
orr norts for nothing, it could not then be
delivered on Lake Michigan for G2i cents per
borrcI Yet this assumption that if an article
pays given rate of duty, the price of MI that
il consumed in this country, whether of
foreign or home production, is enhanced by
tho amount of that duty, is persisted in,
though million facts confront and rcfutc it.
In vain we appeal to the price, which proves
that no such enhancement has taken place !:
the "Revenue Reformers" hold facts in SOW
ereign contempt when tho success of their
craft demands it.
We cannot believe that Congress seriously
intends to legisate on the Finances Mt this
session, and especially when no Committees
have been constituted TO scrutinize the propo-
sitions from day to day sprung upon the
House. But those propositions. and the ma
jorities whereby they are supported, are doing
great harm. They destroy confidence in our
Financial solvency and stability. They doom
us to pay high rates of interest on our Debt

and diiuse general distrust. The Tariff should
not be touched until the whole subject shall
have been carefully considered by an able
and thoughtful Committee of Ways and
Means, which would take care that the Reye-
nue. should in no case be reduced below the

lation by guess Ms that of Monday would dis
credit a council of South Sea savages. Let us
hope that we have seen the last of it.

The Senate has refused to adjourn as the
House suggested in a joint resolution This
would be encouraging if Senators had followed
mp the action by immediate consideration OF
Aome measure of protection for Southern citl-
gems, instead of wasting time in talking about
sSsrnto Domingo matters pending the report OF
she returning Commissioners, and IN reading
Abe bill to repeal the duty on coal. The pro-
eectiOn of loyal citizens in the South Is the
FIRST imperative duty before Congress, and all
other subjects should at once give place to It,
.af there is no intention to pass some bill for
lahis purpose, Congress has no justification for
1emaining in session.

t1re, a kind Of mild shepherd Of the municipal
flocks, q metropolitan Admetus, scattering
bronze bcnedctions from his outstretched
hands and radiating warm effuences OF grace
and beatitude like another idol of Orissa.
But as he declines to serve the public in
that statuosquc capacity, we suppose that there
is an end Of it. He has never yet, that we
are aware, declined to serve the public, or
anybody else, in any capacity IN which money
could be made, and so the irresistible infer
ence is that he did not regard the statue
business as one which paid living profit.
To use phrase with which no is said to BIO
familiar, there was nothing i'll it," so he
sagacOusly, and with an energy which a
lighter man could not have exhibited, sat
upon the project and crushed it. In his letter
formally declining the proposed honor, he
exhibits fine sense of its righteousness and
nbsurdity, and does not stOop to any OF the
paltry grimaces of humility, or deprecations
of desert, with which smaller men sometimes put
from them the prOffered chalce of renOwn. lie
really seems aware that tho deeds for which
he is famous are not those for which statues
are decreed; and, in substance, be says so.
He does not know, Ihe AYERS, which is the
moro absurd-the original proposition, or the
grave comments upon it based upon the idea
that he had given countenance to scheme OF
such unparalleled impotence and eilrontery.
The proposition was serious enough, and 1T
was backed up by some names which we hard
ly expected to sec in such relation; and until
Mr.. Tweed's disclaimer it was not Mt all un-
reasonable to imagine that, like BarlSis, he was
entirely "willin'." Why shouldn't he BET He
has aided in tho erection Of tall monument
to himself in the New Courthouse every
stone of which, by his clever masonry, is &C.
mented with corruption, and every plinth and
pillar and frieze of which are enameled with
theft and fraud. There is no reason why he
should stick at an additional stone Of COM
memoration. Why did he not accept the trib-
ute which his friends were so anxious to pay
him, and be sculptured as Mercury and set up
in front of his Court House, the tutelary di-
vinity and watchful guardian of its occupantsf
He is too modest altogether. But as Cesar
thought better of his declining the crown and
finally took it, perhaps Mr. Tweed will some
time revoke his determination and let his
friends white him ont and stick him up.

The German Government threatens reprisals
for the expulsion of Germans from France,
and demands the revocation of the edict ex-
fling them. There is no question that this
edict is supported and justified by the French
people, and that the Republic will add moth
ing to it's popularity by revOling it. There is
great danger that this and other demands of
the Germans will produce, during the occupa-
tion OF the country, many complications
threatening a renewal of the war, and for this
reason all will rejoice when the Germans have
finally gone home again.

1t is with great pleasure that we record that the
Trustees of Dartmouth College have voted TO print
the next Trennial Catalogue in the English and not
as heretofore in the Latin language or rather in that
bastard kind of Latin which becomes necessary in
turning modern names into the Roman tongue.
Soon, perhaps at Commandments, weshaE have the
Salutatory Addresses delivered in language which
the audience can understand and not in one incom-
prehensibe even TO Masters of Arts of three years
standing. Follies like these puerile and pedantic
have nothing to do with the question of the expe-
diency of classical studies and they rather than else
tend to bring them into contempt.

The outrages which have lately been COM
mitted upon foreigners in Mexico are doubt
less the consequences of the political excite
ment prevalent there. The idea prevails that
American officials and citizens resident in
Mexico are active in the interests of the
Juarez party, and some of these have suffered
in common with other foreigners. The par
ticulars of the Outrages have not come to hand
in Ineligible or official form, and we trust
the present report is exaggerated. 1t is pain
ful enough to excite the apprehensions of our
citizens, aud should quicken the Government
innniries.

Some of the anomalies in the condition of women,
as we'll as tho strange ways Of the average British
juyman, have just been curiousy illustrated by the
trial in London of great robbery case. man
named TOrpey induced finn of jewellers to send one
of their clerks to lis house with quantity Of rich
diamond ornaments, that his wife might make a
selection from them. Mrs. Torpey then gave the
clerk chloroform and assisted her husband to bind
and gag him. and the pair gathered up the jewels and
made off 1t was aftertard discovered that they
had just hired the house furnished for the purpose
Of this robbery. TOrpey escaped to the con-
tinent with tho booty. The wife was
arrested and fully identified, but the jury, in the
teeth of the evidence and the Judges charge, ac-
quilted her on the ground that she acted under the
compulsion of her husband This of course was a
direct blow at the Woman Movement for if the sex
has any rights at ALL surely the right to be sent to
Jail for robbery with violence ought to be reckOned
as one of them. And yet in another way the verdict
may prove boon to the ladies'; for it will suggest
to every gentleman engaged in the profession of
thievery such inestmable advantage in having o
legal wife, that marriages will be enormously null
tipcd.

RIPE WHEAT.

We wept to-day o'cr cofined form.
And our tears fell softly down;
We looked our last on the aged face,
With its look of peace and patient grace.
And hair like silver crown.
We touched our own to the clay-cold hands
From life's long labor at rest !;
And among the blossoms white and sweet
We noted bunch Of golden wheat,
Clasped close to his silent breast.
The blossoms whispered of fad eless bloom
Of a land where fall no tears
The ripe wheat told of toll and care,
The patient waiting, the trusting prayer
The garnered good for years.
As each goes up from the Fl feld Of earth,
Bearing the treasures oflife,
God looks for some gathering grain Of good
From the ripe harvest that shining stood,
But waiting the reapers knife.
Then labor well, that in death you 90
Not only with blossoms sweet
Not bent with doubt, and burdened with
fears,
And dead dry husks Of wasted years
But laden with golden wheat.
