rR0nBLE IN NEK-HAMPSHIRE.

The World gives the following account of
the hitch in what they perhaps call legislation
at Concord:
"smith is person who is giving the Democratic mem
hers of the New Hampshire Legislature great deal Of
trouble In consequence of the death of Senator elect
Thrasher who was Democrat, the Senate was obliged
Inv law 10 choose as his successor one Of the cand
dates against him who received the most votes These
two were Repubicans-one, Hall, who had received the
fu party vote the other Smith, who had received four
votes AS the latter entered into engagement to support
all the Democratic measures, He Democratic majority
elected him Senator 1t that he is disposed to
betray his promises and dash the hopes OF his bene-
factors Democratic legislative caucus resolved yes
terday TO fix Smith by inlpeaehing him for accepting
bribes He will be suspended during trial"
Bret Harte's Heather Chinee" is no cir
cumstance to this in its perfectly unconscious
exhibition of knavery. The Democrats at
Concord had to vote for one of two Republi-
cans for Senator votes for no one else would
count: SO they took the Republican who had
received but four votes at the popular election
and (as they say debauched him by ian en-
"eaeementn which they knew would render
him infamous; but what cared they for that'
They needed him; they could make him Sem
atOr: hence the engagement" that he would
proclaim himself scoundrel and stand III the
piIlory for the consideration of being called
Senator.
This story fixes the brand of infamy on those
who say they bought Smith; but we do not
believe their story so far as it affects HIM.
For why should he have made such an expos
ure of bimselfY He knew they had TO take
him-that they had no choice: then why sac
riice himself for nothingY Doubtless, he prom
ised to vote for their Governor and that prom
ise he has fulfilled. They have already got
out of him moro than he need have promised

CALIFORNIA-MAINE.

The Republicans of these two widely -sepa-
rated States have just concluded their tickets
for the gubernatorlal canvass of 1871. The
California Republicans have nominated New
ton Booth of Sacramento, a lawyer of Consid-
cradle culture, and long pledged to relentless
hostility to the Central Pacific Railroad Corpo-
ration, now the OvershadOwing monopoly OF
the State. The platform of the party natu-
rally enough, prOnOunces against railroad SUD-
sides, and unwisely denounces further Chinese
immigration and calls on the Government to
abrOgate the United States Treaty with ChlAa
If there is one thing more than another whch
promises great things for the trade ana com
merCe of California, it is the continuance OF
amicable and close connections with emma
But, for the poor purpose of currylng favor
with the multitude of the baser sort (who
never vote the Republican ticket the Cali
fornia Republicans have taken new depart
cure" which will grieve judiciOus friends In
and out of the State. There appears 10 DO
no essential difference here in some principal
blanks of the Democratic and Republican
parties
California elects a full State ticket and three
Congressman; the State officers hold their
positions for four years; the session of the
Legislature is biennial, and the Legislature to
be elected this year chooses United States
Senator in place of the Hon. c. Cole, whose
term expires March a, 1873 In 1867, Haight, who
has just been renOminated by the Democracy,
was elected by 9,546 majority over Gorham,
the regular Republican nominee; and Fay,
supported by the boiling Republicans, had
about 1000 votes, making Haight's majority
over both 7,458.
The Maine Republicans have renominated
for Governor Sidney Perham. ON platform
which expresses sound sentiments on the
subjects of the mission and acts Of the
Republican party, tariff for protection and
revenue, the necessity of revival of Ameri-
can commerce, prohibitOry liquor laws, and
various questions of national politics, and
vindcates the foreign policy and general
economy of the present Administration. Gov.
Perham has proved himself an honest and
able officer, and has heretofore served his
country faithfully through three Congresses.
He was elected last year by majority OF
| 9,506 over Roberts, the Democratic candidate
although there was then some disorganizatiOn
| in the Republican ranks, and three or foul
| hundred votes were lost by scattering. Now
with wise and successful career behind the
Republican candidate, a courageous platform
and iudicious management of the canvass
Maine is easily good for 10000 majority.

THE VIADUCT Railway

Yesterday the subscriptions for stock III the
New-YOrk Viaduct Railway were again en-
couraging to the promoters OF the enterprise
and the interest of the public was manifested
in applications for copies of the charter anu
prospectus of the Company.
An erroneous impression prevails IN some
quarters which it is well to correct at once.
The notion has gone abroad that the boaru
of Directors have secured to themselves GER
tain private privileges in subscribing 1or
stock. One prominent member OF the boaro
baa received a letter from friend, IN winch
he offers to take 100000 of stock II ne can
"come in on the same terms as the Directors
We are requested to say that there Is not elt
slightest foundation for any such IMPRESSION
The Directors are all men of business, and are
too largely interested in the success OF the un-
dertaking to adopt so impolitic course. Ihey
court the confidence and support OF the pup
lie. Such action az that imputed to them
would only induce distrust. They have
individually signed a paper by which they
pledge themselves respectively to subscribe
for certain amounts of stock; but they were
doubtless, prompted to take this course by the
Act of the Legislature, which requires thai
81 OOO, 900 must be subscribed for by private
"partiesr before the City subscription o.
5000, 900 is made and not from any imprope
motive. No subscriptions from the Director
could be received before Wednesday; and thel
they were made in precisely the same form ant
under the same conditions as those OF tn
general public, and in accordance with tn
advertised terms.

With every disposition to do justice to the
invariably good intentions and the habitual
tact and good taste of Mr. Bergh in his efferts
to secure merciful treatment to our over
worked car-horses, it is not possible to
approve the stoppage of travel on crowded
lines of communication, by means of which
hundreds of tired and hungry business men
and laborers are sometimes needlessly kept
from their homes for hours together. Mayor
Hall, while expressing his approval of the
humane work in which Mr.. Bergh is en-
gagged objects-properly, we think-to the
method of correcting enc abuse by means of
another, and asks that the police may not be
used in future to continue it. We hope Mr..
Bergh may devise some unobjectiOnable and
equally efficient means of protecting the horses
without depressing the public.

ROMBSHELL DIPLOMACY.

In 1866 an American trading g-schooner, voy-
aging on the western coast of Asia, was
blown off her course and shipwrecked on the
inhospitable shores of the peninsula of COrea.
The crew managed to take to their boats and
landed in small cove, whence they pene-
trated a little way into the interior. The
Jealous Coreans, who live in more deter
mined seclusion than the people of NiphOn in
the days of Marco Paulo, stopped not to as
certain the cause of this sudden apparition of
foreign strangers, but fell upon them, wound
ed them sore, killed many, and left but few
alive to escape to tell the tale of this barbaric
reception of shipwSecked mariners. The world
knows as little of Corea, its government, re-
ligion, manners, customs, and domestic life,
as it did of the interior of Abyssinia before a
costly British expedition ravaged its towns
and looted the capital of hapless King Theo-
dore. in return for an insult which had been
aggravated by British stupidity. We were in
the agOnies of Reconstruction; we could not
stop to bother with making inquiries concern
ing the responsibility of the COrean Govern
ment-if such there be-for the barbarous butch
ery of a few sailors. The demand was one OF
those things which would keep and so was
quietly pigeon-hOled.
But the fullness Of time has come. we
have only pursed our wrath 10 Keen II warm

Mr.. c.. p. Kimball of Portland has received the
Democratic" nomination for Governor mainly, 1t
would appear upon the ground, stated IN the Con
vantion that no mar has contributed so hber"ny
the support of the party as he" which certainly
looks very much as if Mr.. Kimball had bought tho
nomination by the munifcence of bis donations to
desperate cause. How much he proposes to plank
down this year. we are Uniformed, but for his own
sake we hope that he will not spend all his sub
stance in dubious speculation. The Convention
voted "to bury out of sight all dead issues" Bet
ter bury all the dead men! BY the way, the speech
which Mr. Clifford, champion of the Young Demoe-
racy and the New Departure, delivered in the Con-
vention was good deal mixed and miscellaneous.
The Democratic party had always stood for prlncl-
ple. even when it seemed to be defending Slavery"
Exactly so it stood for the principle or want OF
principle in Human Servitude, and what happened
to it in consequence was nicely described by the ora
tor. 1T made" said he, "many divergences from
principles" but however eccentrcally it "diverged,
it never lost sight of its duty to sustain the Constr
tuition and therefore its action thoroughly con-
sistent with fundamental Democracy" We leave
the bothered reader to find out, if he can what this
means; we are sure that we don't know.
