THE NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.

The dispatches we publish this morning
indicate triumph for the Democracy in
the old Granite State, which, though not
at all comfortable news, is not alarming.
We find in the New York Herald of
Monday the following from its Manches-
ter correspondent, under date of the 18th :
Although there is but a single day intervening
before the State election, there is still the same
apparent apathy and indifference which have
characterized the campaign from the beginning.
Such lack of excitement pending political
campaign has rarely if ever been known in New
Hampshire, and the cause of it is an enigma
which the politicians on neither side can salts
factorily explain. 1t is true that both organize
tons are usually active in making new voters
and arousing the old ones to sense of their
duty on Tuesday, but there is an entire absence
of enthusiasm and hurly-burly which have
made former campaigns in the Granite State so
famous.
1t is altogether probable that the recent
unfortunate rupture in the Republican
ranks in the Senate over the removal of
Senator Sumner from the Foreign Rela-
tons Committee, coming just upon the
eve of the election, when there was no
time for explanations or reflection, did not
add any thing to the zeal of
"a portion of the Republicans
in New Hampshire. The tissues
were local, and the result is not ut all in
dicatiye of the strength of the parties on
such national issues as will divide the par
ties in 1872 There is no other basis than
the apathy referred to by the Herald, and
the indifference of Mr.. Summers friends,
to account for the revolution in the State
There has been no such change since 1870
in party issues as would cause such COM
plete revolution in the State on full vote
on national exciting questions.
The majority last year for Onslow
Stearps, Republican, on vote of s,471,
was 1855. The Republican majority in
1869, in the First Congressional District,
was l, 1872; in the Second, 1917, and in the
Third, 66S.
The Legislature III 1870 stood Senate,
II Republicans, l Democrat; House, 1913

form.

zens, and carry with it, wherever it goes,
the evidence of cordial greeting and well
come, which its publication and dsssemi-
nation indicates, it will be of great public
benefit, and be God-send to cur State.
We make these suggestions because we are
convinced they are practical and ought to
be carried out. We hope they will be- re-
ceiyed in the spirit given, and acted upon
in every county. We will gladly open our
columns to aid any county organization,
and send their proceedings to the hun
dreds and thousands of our readers in the
States of the North who are now eagerly
looking to East Tennessee for homes, and
who will come if we but make an effort in
that direction We have given this sub
ject some thought, have an appreciation of
what immigrants want, and can think of
no way SO well calculated to supply all the
needs as these county organizations.

THE ARKANSAS MUDDLE.

The political excitement in Arkansas
has been alta white heat for weeks past, as
our readers well know. It grew out of a
difference between Governor Clayton and
Lieutenant Governor Johnson. 1t ran SO
high that the former gentleman, who had
been elected to the United States Senate,
rather than see his rival discharging the
duties of the executive department of the
State, resigned his Senatorial position,
which he would have held for six years,
for the position he already held and would
hold for two years.
Just now we have new phase presented
in the excitement. Lieutenant Governor
Johnson has resigned his position, and ac-
eepted that of Secretary of State, while
Senator Hadley, a strong Clayton man has
been elected President Of the Senate, and
Governor Clayton is again a candidate for
election to the United States Senate, with
fair prospect of success. in which case
Hadley will be his successor as Governor.
Those who have been taking sides with
the late Lieutenant Governor, chiefly
Democrats, are very bitter against him
now, charging that he he's sold out to the
Clayton party. Whatever may be sid Of
Clayton's course, hehas certainly managed
10 defeat his opponents, and now seems to
&c master Of the situation.

now TO ENCOURAGE IMMIGRATION


We made some observations yesterday as
TO the good to be derived from additional
population, and promised TO give some
suggestions regarding the course TO be
pursued and best calculated to bring such
increase.
We have been furnished with circulars
from various organizations that have for
their object the compilation and circula-
ton of information about every county in
East Tennessee to be used TO further immi-
grafton. AS matter of private enterprise
the movements are worthy of encourage
naent, and we should think would be suffi-
GENTLY ren1unerative to warrant the effort.
But they do not alone meet the want.
They are business enterprises that must
thrive by profit and viii not commend
themselves to the immigrants as being dis
interested or for the public good alone.
The want to be supplied can only come
from organizations OF reliable citizens,
prompted by public spirit that appreci-
ates the necessities of the State and the
great good to follow. II our views of the
benefits to flow from an increased popula-
ton are correct, we, as people, can well
afford to give little time, labor and
money to induce it to come. If our taxes
are TO be lowered, our lands enhanced in
value, our schools and churches to be made
more numerous and prosperous and our
wealth to be multiplied by increased i'm
migration, we can well afford to organize
into associations and encourage it.
County organizations are the best aSen-
eies to do this work. A few leading and
public spirited citizens in each county can
with little labor and expense gather all
the valuable and interesting facts concern
ing their neighborhoods that would be of
interest TO strangers, and publish and cir
culate it for general information. The
general good to the county ought to be q
sufficient inducement to its citizens to aid
IN the work. If they undertake It, their
work will be looked upon not as business
transaction but as a public movement, in
dioative of a friendly public sentiment and
good will that would be assuring to immi-
grants and speak well for the enterprise of
the community. Such associations have
been formed in the western States, and
have done much to give them that wonder
full growth and wealth that is the marvel
of the age. We are glad to know that an
effort of this kind is now being made in
Jefferson county, the details of which we
give in another column. We commend
their example to the citizens of Knoxville,
and of every county in East Tennessee.
It is a step ii the right direction, and
If prosecuted viii surely do good for the
people Of that county. It has been product
i've of great results in other States, and viii
be here If ;arried out in tbs proper spirit.
We want such an organization in every
county. If we can secure this, and then
scatter broadcast information about our
climate, soil, products, prices of land, prices
oflabor, cost of living, and have that in
formation 60 out endorsed by these several
organizations of our leading reliable citi-
