one hundred aud twenty-three names that
have been fraudulently added to the
Ward Five check list in this city, and

the Sclectmen who are responsible for
that check list. The Gazette is princi.
pal to the fraud. We understand the
Selectmen erased a large number of names
on the copy furnished for the printer, and
not one Of them was left off, OF course
the Gazette now thinks that the least said

The new law of Ohio, putting the
damages of liquor-selling right where
they belong, mas recently has some prac-
tical applications that we are delighted
to chronicle. The provisions of the law
are that every husband, wife child, parent,
guardian, employer, or other person, who
shall be injured in person, property, or
means Of support by any intoxicated per.
son, or in consequence of such intoxca.
ton, shall have a right of action against
both the person who sold the liquor and
the landlord who owns the premises on
which the sale was made. 1t also pro-
vides that any fine imposed upon sa.
loon-keeper or HORSEPOWER, or any judg.
ment obtained in civil suit instituted
under the aforementioned circumstances
shall become lien against the premises
until fully discharged, and that in case
Of default said premises shall be sold at
sheritf's sale. Good for Ohio"
Illinois has also adopted similar law
and the same is now before the New
Jersey Legislature, we believe.

The DEMOCRACY AND THE New HAMp-
SHIRE ELEcTIoN.-The power of judicious
statement in consoling us for failure and
defeat, is most happily illustrated in the
Rutland Courier's remarks upon the New
Hampshire election. 1t says: 1.-THE
election there is over and the State has
gone Republican by only a few hundred
majority, and we are glad of it. Grant
is now sure to be the nominee of the
Philadelphia Convention in Jure, what.
ever way Connecticut may go on the first
Monday in April. Well and nobly did
no Democracy of New Hampshire do
their duty on Tuesday last and the result
though some may not see it's the
very best that could have happened for the
welfare Of the whole country"
This reminds us Of the handsomely
worded military dispatches and flaming
editorials upon the situation when Nc.

the peninsula from Richmond with the

a brilliant charge no doubt, and his move
mcnts were but little retarded by the
enemy. To be sure it was rather ex.
pensive movement, and not particularly
encouraging to any only those who could
"see It," But McClellan's victories were
overwhelming, as everyone who read the
papers of that time well knows. A few
more such splendid victories and brilliant
manocuvrcs on the part Of the Union ar
my would have ended the war and
brought about a recognition of the Con-
federacy. SO this election is anything
but encouraging to any Democrats except
those who "can sec it, A few more
such Democratic triumphs will sweep the
Democratic party from the face of the
earth and bury its name in oblivion.

Last week Monday proved "Back
Friday" for the Gould ring in the Erie
Railroad, resulting in in its complete
overthrow-the election of new directors
removal of Gould from the Presidency,
and choice of Gen. Dix in his place. The
case was most adroitly prepared by Gems.
Sickles, Dix and others, in the interest of
a thorough reform, and took the ring en-
tirely by surprise. The meeting was
called by the vice president of the road,
in the temporary absence of Gould, on ap.
plication of a majority of the board of
directors, to fill existing vacancies in the
board, and also such as might arise.
Gould fought valiantly with policemen
roughs, injunctions, &c, but all to no
purpose. His doom was sealed, and he
was fairly driven from the field, leaving
the new officers in possession. The SUBJ
ordinate officers and employees have Civ
en- in their adhesion to the new regime.
And so the work of reform goes nobly on,
and honest men may take heart again.

1There can be no possible objection
to warm admiration OF President Grant
and an earnest desire for his renomina'
ton. Indeed it would undoubtedly BE-
the wisest thing which could be done by
the Philadelphia convention and the party
to unite upon him but we should prefer
more honesty and wisdom in methods Of
comprising it. The bullying style i.
hardly to be commended. Besides il
will be sure to destroy the harmony Of
action which is essential to success. The
true friend of the Republican party will
be reasonable in his demands, ready to &C.
quiesce in any result honestly arrived at
and willing to forego personal preference,
for the good of the party and the welfare
OF the country.

Rev DR. Abraham B. Carter, rector Of
the church of the Holy Savior, on 25th
street, New York, has had handsome
young woman named Emma R. Couch,
arrested on a charge Of trying to black
mail him into paying her money. The
woman processes, on the other hand, to
be able to prove that DR.. Carter, who is
a prominent Ephiscopal clergyman, seduc.
ed her, and has for some years contribut-
ed Literally to her support. E. Dela6eld
Smith, formerly district attorney, appears
as the woman's counsel and friend, and
public opinion at New York seems to be
divided about the case, but DR. Carter
course so far certainly does not indicate
that he is guilty.
