THERE is loud cackling and growing
in the Radical coop over the result of
the election in New Hampshire. The
Republicans have carried that State by
q small majority, of from 1900 to 1900,
by. means of the lavish use of Federal
patronage and the importation into
the State of the ablest stumpers of
their party. In 1868, while the Fed
eral patronage was in the hands OF
Andrew johnson, Grant carried Now
Hampshire BY 6,967 majority; but
now, with the patronage in his own
hands, and most unscrupulously used,
he is able to carry it "by the skin OF
his teeth" indicates quite clearly that
his popularity is fast waning. While
the Democracy would have been
pleased with different result, there
is nothing in this boasted Radical
victory that should in the least dis.
courage us.

DEDE'T Know IT, Eli Whenever
allusion is made to the New York
Custom House plunderings, the Rad
icst papers endeavor to excuse the ad-
ministration from all responsibility
in the matter by setting mp the plea of
ignorance. But the N. Y. Tribune,
which can hardly be regarded as a
Democratic paper, don't go much on
that plea, as witness the following
from its columns:
at is in evidence that Leet got his
general order job by using the Presi-
dents influence; that the remonstraD-
ees Of A. r. Stewart and other mer-
chants were unavailing to choke him
OF; that the President kne,D exactly
schdt Leet scds about, and that various
members of his staff did. General
Porter's testimony touches none of
these points.'

ty stands forth in all its glory. The
effects of all medicines which operate
upon the system through the medium
of the blood are necessarily somewhat
slow, no matter what the remedy en-

Senator Upton was in Cincinnati,
on Saturday last for the purpose of
consulting with the leaders of the Lib
eral movement in regard TO the May
Convention. A despatch says that in
an interview with a reporter of the
Times and Chronicle he named Gar
field of Ohio and Dawes Of Massachu-
setts as leading Republican members
of the House who were known TO be
secretly In sympathy with the anti
Grant movement. In the Republican
party he says. Trumbull is his first
choice for the Presidency, but that the
convention here will probably decide
on Davis.

In Andy Johnson's day the Repul-
licans delighted in having Congress
always in session,so that it could con-
tinually put its hook in the nose of
that political leviathan. But we no.
tice that the Grant leaders are very
anxious to adjourn Congress. Morton
introduced a resolution to adjourn on
the 1st of May, and it is evident that
the 1st of April would suit him bet
ter.The trouble is that the Anti-Grant
Senators and members do altogether
too much investigating to suit him.
The daily speeches of Trumbull, Sum-
ner and Schurz are very harmful to
the Grant faction, and hence they are
desperately bent upon getting rid OF
Congress as soon as they can.

rebukcd. Although the county gave
Governor Moves l79 majority, and
Grant for President in 1868, 4S9 ma

A Mother Sacrifices Her Own
Life "a Save Her Child From a
Terrible Death.

hftii7'l4AN Na''-F NNN'aNit@ -
Night before last, about six O'Clock,
the inhabitants Of our neighboring city
Of Henderson, Kentucky, were shocked
al the occurrence Of a distressing and ia
til accident, which happened t. a promi
neut and most estimable lady Of tia,
place. While Mrs w. Lewis, whose
husband is a leading boot ahd shoe iaer-
chant of Henderson, was sitting quietly
at home. after supper with her little ones
gathered around the family fire circle, her
little baby by some means managed to
turn the contents of a lighted lamp over
itself The clothing of the child imme-
diately caught fire, and the frantic mother
sciezed it, and in her wild excitement,
not knowing where to go, rushed down
the stairway toward the street. Her
piercing screams attracted the attention
of Mr.. Jos. Merryman, tender-hearted
and gallant lrshman, who was passing
the house at the time. He met Mrs.
Lewis at the bottom of the stairs her
own clothing had caught from the burning
garments of her darling babe, and he
quickly sciezed and by very strong exer-
ton wrested the child from her arms.
Overcome by his superior strength she let
90 the child and fed into the street
screaming in the most heart-rending
manner. Some one else about this time
ran up and taking hold of Mrs. Lewis
threw her to the ground and rolled her
over to suppress the flames. Sad to say,
however, the dreadful element had done
its destructive work. and the unfortunate
lady was carried back into the house ia
tally injured. She fingered in great
pain until o'clock yesterday morning |
when her spirit took its fight. The
child, by her sacrificing love and devo-
ton, was spared, and escaped with but a
few slight burns.

BOSTON IN ASHES.

Our readers viii not soon forget the
terrible calamity which visited Chicago
about this time last year, 10 which about
one third of that city, and that the finest
and best part of it, went down in fame.
On Saturday and Sunday last, the great
granite city Boston fell a victim 10 the
devouring element, and it is ascertained
that the loss sustained will reach the
enormous sum of 800, 600, 900. Twosuch
fires have never, in the history of the
world taken place, and the last coming
so soon after the first, seems very marvel
Gus. The suffering eutailed upon the
thousands of the doomed city, cannot be
imagined. Hundreds and thousands of
people who were dependent upon their
daily labor in the workshops and manu-
iacturies, are thrown out of employment
and unless speedily relieved, must suffer
untold misery, and many Of the sewing
girls to go haunts of infamy and shame.
Such an event in the history of any city
calls for aid and sympathy from every
christian or humane man or woman in
the land and wicked indeed must be the
heart that will rejoice at this dread calam-
ity, or fail to sympathize with the victims.
Let those who still wildly recall the suf-
ferings of the South from war, fire ami
pestilence, entertain now no unkind feel
ings toward their brethren of Boston,
who under the excitement Of victory
may have rejoiced at, or illumina-
ted their city when the beautiful homes
of our southern brethren went down be
fore the flaming torch in the hands of an
armed foe; but rather let them forgive
that spirit Of bitter hatred, and bury
deep the sins OF the past.
The fire first commenced in the rear
end of five story granite building, and
spread so rapidly that fremen were driv-
en- from the scene by the intense heat of
the burning building. After the fire
gained some Roadway along Kingston
and Sumner streets, sweeping the i'm
nense structures before it, fierce wind
sprung up which increased in a short
lime TO almost a gale, the flames obtain
ID entire mastery of the situation, and
The efforts of the fremen were rendered
useless and futile. After several hours
he blowing up Of houses was rcsorted to
% prevent the progress of the flames, but
Eithyery little success. Assistance from
CITIES arrived and the fire
vas got fully under control at 4 o'clock .
Monday morning. Ii was terrible fire,

limity than almost any other city in
America, and will proceed Immediately .

THE FUTURE.

Now that Grant has been elected by
an overwhelming majority, there are
many weakened Democrats who are
shouting-"I told you So Such a
cry is very disgusting to sensible mind,
and is, Of all others, the silliest. Somo
of our country exchanges are ringing the
same cry, and seem to have awakened,
for the first time, to political expression
Of opinion.
What arc We to do, now, says the
earnest, honest thinker What course
should democrats now pursueY VIII it
be our duty to fall back upon old prin-
ciplcs, and, by thoroughly independent
political organization, once more try TO
buildup the old Democratic party? Should
we cudeavor to 60 alone, and thus aban-
don our allies, the Liberal Republicans,
who stood by the true Democracy in the
late struggled We reply no--a thous-
and times mol We cannot afford to lose
them in the future struggles against Rad
icalism. Rather should we try to gain
more recruits from the thousands of good
people who have, we trust, from a mis-
taken idea, chung to the Radical organi-
zation. In this way alone can we in
dulge the fond hope that ere long the
powers of political darkness will be
broken up, and a new light food in to
bless us as a nation. Standing alone,
the Democratic party is powerless.
Standing alone the Liberal party is al
most a cypher; but united in one solid
body, and each member Of the two doing
all he can to gain converts to the good
cause of peace and reconciliation; the
time will come when the stronghold of
Radicalism will give way before the ad-
vancing columns of those parties, upon
whose banners are inscribed-equal rights
to all the states, amnesty and lasting
peace. We see no reason to despair on
account Of our recent defeat. We see no
reason either, on account of that defeat,
to dissolve our partnership with the great
party of Liberal Republicans; but, on
the contrary, we see many good and
valid reasons why we should strive to
make our friendship all the firmer and
more enduring. If, then, you ask us
what of the future, and what we intend
to do politically, we answer emphotically,
that we intend to cling to our Liberal
allies, and try to gain more of them to
our ranks; that we intend to abide by
and uphold the principles enunciated by
that party and our own in National Con-
vention assembled; and, God willing, to
do all we can to overthrow the present
corrupt administration and build upon its
ruins National Party.

Eighth District.

When we went to press last week, our
hearts were rather heavy over what we
then believed to be small majority for
Durham. Since then, however, the re-
turns have been received from all the
aud his majority is fine one,
being, so far as our best information ex-
tends, $50. This is glory enough for a
doubtful" district, and proves that the
Democracy of the Sih district are not yet
ready or willing to sell out to the Radi-
Gals.

Official returns have been received
from SO counties in Kentucky, leaving
80 to be heard from. The vote in the
counties now stands GREELEY, S6,6S4;
GRANT, 1888; O'Conor, 1,907-Gree-
ley's majority over Grant and O'Conor,
$500. The counties yet to hear from
are in Southern Kentucky and tho
mountains. Those in Southern Kentucky
will possibly Offset Grants majoritics in
the mountains, and the result will not be
materially changed.

Only One.

The Radicals have only one Congress
man from Kentucky this time, and if the
Democracy had done their duty in the
Tenth District, they would not have had
that one. Burns has defeated John ID.
Young by a very decided majority, and
that too in Democratic district. What
the cause of this defeatl We are told
thai il was on account Of the falling oil
of vote, and that "Grcoley did it," Per-
haps Mr.. Young did not do his duty.
Perhaps the Democrats did not do their
duty. Don't lay the failure on Mr..
Greeley. 1t won't do. He did his duty,
and that was all any one could require
of him.
