Mrs. ELLEN l.. Whereas it has
pleased Providence in its inscrutabe
wisdom to remove Mrs. Albee from
this lower, to higher life, and to separ.
ate her from her husband and many

Hon. R, B. Elliot, one of the colored
Representatives from South Carolina,
made his maiden speech in Congress on
Wednesday afternoon, in opposition to
Mr.. Beck's bill for the removal of politi-
cal disabilities, and he acquitted himself
to the complete satisfaction of his friends
Mr.. Elliot at the close of his speech was
warmly congratulated by Gen. Butler
and other prominent Republican mem
bers. Mr.. Poland and Mr. Hoar were
the only New England men who spoke
on the bill. The former advocated its
passage on the ground that it would tend
to give peace and tranquility to the South.
He said that he believed that it was
mistake that the leaders Of the rebellion
were not punished at the close of the war.
but as they had not been he did not see
any use in keeping up this disqualified
ton. He, however, offered an amend
ment to except from the provisions of the
bill all members of Congress who left
their seats to participate in the rebellion,
and all army officers who fought for the
Confederacy

fairs, it must act under wiser counsesl
than it has done of late. The Worcester
Gazette says: 1.-The truth is that the
Republicans had no heart in the contest
The slight recently offered To Senator
Sumner in Washington was staggering
blow to come on the eve Of election, and
they had not recovered from the shock.
The Democratic Journals generally
ascribe more or less influence to the dis
sensions among the Republicans, but
mainly devote their space TO exultation
and staggering prophecy of the future.
The n. Y. Herald says: "By the remov-
al of Sumner from the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations the old dyed-in-the.
wool New Hampshire radicals appear to
have become demoraizcd so far as - give
up the fight"
The n. Y. Wrold solcmnly announces
that, This herads revolution in Mass
achusetts and all New England ~
The Boston Herald says I'VE prefer
to look upon the Democratic victory as
an emphatic protest against the unwise,
| uncOuStltuIlOuul anu cAtrdNaSahe iuiS VI
radical party, controlled by corrupt and
dangerous men. The waves which beat
upon the White Hills yesterday promise
to sweep over the country"
There is no doubt that the removal OF
Mr.. Sumner from the Craftsmanship of
the Foreign Relations Committee, had
something to do with the result in New
Hampshire But other influences were
also at work. Weston was very popular
and Labor Reform party was run in the
interest of the Democratic nominees
And there are always errors and excuses
and failures enough in any party in pow
err, for the opposition to make handle OF.
The Republican party is not m excep.
ton to this rule though the purest and
most economical and just which has held
such long lease of power under the U.
S. Government. Reaction against any
party is necessary result of long contn'
ued power and patronage. The only way
power can be perpetuated, when this re.
action comes. is by fraud and rank cor
ruption such as is used by the Democratic
managers, whenever the power gets in
to their hands. The Republican party
will not stoop to this and therefore may
be obliged to take back seat

The New Hampshire Elections.

The election in New Hampshire, which
occurred on Tuesday last, was undeniably
a crushing defeat to the Republican par
ty.-The result may be summed up as
follows:
Governor-No choice.
Railroad Commissioner-David Gill
christ of Franklin, Democrat.
Members of Congress-lst district, K.
A. Hubbard of Laconia I'd, Samuel N.
Bell of Manchester 81, W. Parker of
Claremont, all Democrats.
ouncilors-David NJ. Slough of Can
terbury, Democrat 4; Alphonzo. II. Rust
Of Wolfboro, Democrat Daniel Barnard,
of Franklin, Republican Joseph Powers
Of Harverhill, Democrat Dexter Rich.
ards of Newport, Republican.
The House will have about ten Repub-
ican majority.
The papers are now full of discussions
as to the cause of this unexpected result
The more radical Republican Journals
claim that it is mainly due to the disgust
felt by the less partisan Republicans, with
the Grant-Sumner imbrogll and the feeli-
ing engendered among the political friends
OF MIR. Sumner, causing them to be willing
that the administration should receive
this rebuke. AS a sample of the COM
ments Of the Republican press of New
Hampshire we quote the closing remarks
of an editorial in the Concord Statesman
Had Charles Sumner not been forced
from his place as chairman of the Senate
committee on foreign relations, the Re-
publican vote would have been larger
Had the San Domingo scheme been left
to the operation of natural causes, instead
Of being pushed with unreasonable persis-
tence it would, it would have been larger.
Had Congress succeeded in restoring our
commerce to the extent and importance
initiated before the rebellion, it would
have been larger. Had some Of the land
grant bills however wise and just in
themselves, been discreetly deferred until
the public understanding had grown up to
them. it would have been larger, and had
all these causes of embarrassment been
withheld, we might have carried the
State by nearly the same majority,in spite
of the Generalization produced in the
party by the forcing upon it of unpopular
nominations made in packed caucuses.
The Boston Transcript says "The
defeat is owing principally to the disgust
Of Republican voters at the course pursu-
ed by the Administration toward Mr..
Sumner, because of his independence on
the San Domingo and Alabama questions.
The transcripts Washington cores
pendent says: The general impression
seems to be that the defeat of the Repub-
licans was caused by the action of the
Senate in removing Mr.. Sumner and
thereby demoralizing his friends in the
Granite State"
The Providence Press says of the cleo
ton: 1T is the first gun following the
San Domingo imbroglio and the unwist
action Of the majority of the Senate in the
ostracism of Mr., Sumner !" and the paper
thinks that "if the party is to retain its
position at the bead of the national af

Gently read in the Rutland Herald, a
statement to the effect that Congress has
made provisions for the payment of 800
bounty to soldiers who enlisted into the
union army between May 4th and July

in this matter may not be misled, allow
me to state through the columns of your
