NEW-HANPSHIRE.

The New-Hampshire State election takes
place next Tuesday. We suppose there can be
no reasonable doubt of the result; still we
must not count too rashlY upon an easy vic
tory, and if our friends viii put some hard
work into the few remaining days of the cam
pagn, they may be confident that it viii not
be thrown away. A great Republican ma
jority in Hampshire, in spite of the pos
sible disaflecton of ProhibitiOnists and Labor
Reformcrs, would. have an excellent effect
upon the country.
Mr. Pike our candidate for Governor, is q
strong man, personally popular, and acceptable
to the Prohibitionists; and in all the Congress
districts the nominations command the general
approval of the party. In the lid District the
contest is expected TO be closest. Here
we have renOmnated the present excellent
Representative, Gen. AARON +. STEVENS of
Nashua. Gen. Stevens entered the army in
1861 as Major OF the First n. Ii. Volunteers,
and served till the end of the war; He was
severely wounded at Fort Harrison in 1864,
and for his gallantry was afterward breveted
Brigadier- General, his actual rank at that time
being Colonel. Gen. Stevens has already been
twice elected to Congress, and is highly
esteemed by his constituents and his fellow
Representatives for his ability, high character,
and strict attention to business.

MR.. FIELD AND TIE TRIBUNE.

Mr. David Dudley Field would better look
after his reputation, in even so slight matter
as the statement of his offer of an article to a
newspaper. The public have not forgotten his
late performance III publishing what suited him
of his correspondence with Mr.. Bowles, and sup
pressing the rest. He now appears once more
in the same light. AT III o'clock on Tuesday
night he sent to this Office letter, making
inquiries as to whether we would publish
reply from him to Gen. Barlow's letters on
his share in the Erie Gtigations. An answer
was promptly sent by the immediate repre-
sentative of Mr. Greeley in the editorial con-
duct of THE TRIBUNE. Yesterday Mr.. Field
published his letter in the afternoon papers,
suppressing our reply, and making instead this
extraordinary statement:
The following letter sent TO The Tribune last even
ing, but notice was taken of it In this mornings
paper During the day received from Mr. Whitelaw
Reid which satisfies me that cannot have fair
play from that paper, and that while it's columns are
lent to defame me- shall not have al equal opportunity
to answer.
We need not waste words, to accuse Mr..
Field of deceiving the papers to which this
card was sent Fortunately the correspond
ence below is conclusive proof on that point:

THE BEST SECURITY IN THE World


The new American fye-per-cents which
have just been put upon the market are,
when we consider all the circumstances of
security and profit, the very best investment
now open to the capital of the world They
pay higher rate of interest than any Gov
eminent securities which are at par in the
market, and moments consideration will
show that, so far as safety and permanence
are concerned, there is no other Government
in the world which can give such entirely
trustworthy guarantees.
The mOmentary Outburst of demagogical
talk of reputation which alarmed this
country and Europe, year or two ago, has
now entirely died away. 1t never infected
more than a small minority, insignificant
in numbers and still more powerless in
influence or position. The whole Repubi-
can party denounced it heartily from the
outset Congress gave no hospitality to
it. 1t received o qualified support from
one or two members of the majority, who inn
agined they saw in it the elements of popu-
larity, but they soon discovered their mistake
and dropped the disreputable thing. few
Democratic politicians of the baser sort were
beerliled into fattering the prejudices of few
dishonest Supporters by favoring the knavish
scheme. But. with few exceptions, the press
and the party organizations, during the last
year. have unequivocally declared against any
such compromise of the national honor. The
people have in no case responded to the ras-
cally suggestions of the unprincipled poll
ticians who thought they represented them.
The common sense and the common honesty
of the country have saved us from even the
shadow of any such danger. No candid and
intelligent man can now say that there is any
doubt of the United States paying loyalty
every dollar of the interest and principal OF
their debt as it becomes due, or before.
AS to our ability to pay, that does not ad-
NIT of a question. We have been sustaining
lightly enough the burden of our debt ever
since the war, carrying on the Government,
paying our interest, buying new territory, ana
at the same time diminishing our Indebtedness
by some six hundred millions of dollars. THIS
has been no spasmOdic or injurious effort we
could keep on doing it at the same rate, Ii IL
were considered best And all the while the
resources of the country are rapidly increasing
and the means of paying the debt wax as 1t
wanes. What other nation can say ~ much

if it were more complete. 1t is half rumor'
half conjecture; and the skein of fact Is very
slight indeed. II is not improbable that inc
real murderer is suspected, but at present

THE RIGHT no EARNINGS

The Chicago EUenin9 Post does not like Mr..
Greeley's work on Protection to Home Indus
try, and says So 1t does not even like the
chapter for which that journal furnished the
text, but says OF it,
"The chapter devoted TO the late Dr.. Ray OF the
ornators and chief editor Of this paperor rather to
the preamble and resolution offered by him at Free
Trade meeting In Chicago-k a mere piece OF special
pleading The principle OF the right Of every man 10 his
own earnings, lessened only by taxes necessary TO
support the Government aud maintain law and order
laid down by DR.. Ray Is absolutely correct one. and
the Of the contrary is alone sufficient TO show
the imsy nature Of Protection arguments. He was not
speakingof taxation for either local state purposes
bn of the right of the nation at large To laws TO
control the trade OF the country To take money from
mans pocket and put IL in another man. without an
equivalent return. such right he denied aud that de

There is a little comfort from the coal re-
eions. The miners in some districts have gone
to work, and the small companies show dis
position to submit the dispute to arbitration;
but the large companies and the miners, sus-
tanned by powerful Unions, whose funds are
not yet exhausted, are as stubborn as ever
Concessions and arbitration will follow this
break in the line, and we shall probably have
general peace declared soon. The tempta-
ton to take advantage of the high price of
coal is demoralizing to both operators and
operatives.

The disturbances in Paris are expected TO
subside, we are assured, without the inter
ference of the military. AS the National Guard
itself has been disbanded, on account OF It's
demoralized condition, no military force exists
in strength sufficient TO put down the rioters
of the suburbs. The truth is that Paris is IN

Comments by The Tribune.

The case by which we tested the soundness
of Dr. Rays principle was the construction of
the Erie Canal. That was as stoutly resisted
as Protection now is, and on identical grounds.
"The right of every man TO his own earnings,
"lessened only 10y taxes necessary to support
the Government and maintain law and Order"
was precisely what the anti-Canal men con-
tended for. They were willing to be so taxed,
but not for the construction of a Canal, which
is clearly not among the legitimate objects of
