The New Hampshire Election.

Great day, this, In New Hampshire for it
is the day of her annual election, and this
election is the first gun of the Presidential
campaign. Parties are strangely mixed in
this fight in being strangely divided; and be-
tween the two main parties the State is close,
and the clerk of the weather may WELD the
balance Of power. A fair day helps the re-
publicans, but rainy day tells to the advan-
tage Of the democrats The republicans, like
chickens, are fair weather birds; tho demo-
Gratis, like ducks, are happiest in soaking
rain. The philosophy of this distinction is
very interesting; but we have no room for 1t
to-day. The republicans have a man named
Straw as their candidate for Governor, and
the democrats say that he is only man of
straw; but we shall see. He has to fight the
democrats, the labor reformers, the temper
ance party, and the liberal, reform, anti Grant
or "sorehead' republicans, and, among them
all, they will keep him busy from the rising Of
the sun to the going down thereof We expect
to give the actual general results Of the cleo
ton tomorrow, and so, for the present, we
drop the subject with the single remark that
this election will probably determine the ques-
ton whether the democrats, in the Presiden.
tial fight, shall go over to the anti-Graht re-
publicans, or 0ice gersa. We await the an.
swer from New Hampshire.

The Custom House-AbolltiOn Of the Gen.
eral Order Monopoly.

The Custom House order issued by Collector
Arthur and published in yesterdays HERALD
inaugurates an important reform in the gene
raj order business. The monopoly of Leet
and Stocking is abolished and q new system
of general order stores takes its place. The
city of New York is divided into nine dis
tricts, in each of which a bonded warehouse
or set of warehouses is designated for the re-
ception Of unclaimed goods brought into port
There arc four of these districts on the North
River side and five on the East River side, as
we'll as Eve for Brooklyn and separate depots
are designated for the storage of petroleum
and other dangerous combustlbles, and for
marble. Steamship companies are authorized
from the list designated to select their own
warehouses, but no company can select o
warehouse in which it has a proprietary IN
terest. g; -.
This is an immense Improvement for the
benefit of our merchants upon the two gene
raj order stores Of Lsst and STOCKING, with
their iharassiug delays and excessive Charges
for carriage, &c. Nor is this all, for with
these largely increased facilities for the storage
of unclaimed goods new Scale Of warehouse
charges will 60 into effect on Monday next,
the scale being that agreed upon by Joint
committee Of the Chamber of Commerce, the
Custom House and the warehousemen. Fur
thermore, "the Collector invites written COM
plants of any alleged overcharges or undue
delays on the part Of any Of the. proprietors of
the Warehouses; fol unclaimed goods" which
is an excellent provision for the protection of
the merchant. ~ -,
This is General Grants work, and here we
have another of the many examples he has
given US Of bis fixed purpose and policy of
retrenchng expenses and correcting abuses
whenever and wherever extravaganza and
abuses are shown to exist. When lie vent
into the White House he bad everything to
learn Of the machinery Of the government In
Its various departments and of the manifold
abuses and corruptions which had crept into
almost every department. But he has been
an apt scholar, and has learned much and
lone much in the great work OF retrenchment
md reform; and 1t is In this practical knowl-
'dge Of public affairs gained, and In the good
lse to which General Grant applies II, that
We find his strongest recommendations for
another term.

TIE FATE OF WAR In MEXICO, as else
where, Is exceedingly tickle and fuctuating
Our special despatch this morning gives 10 q
non-committal manner q report Of the recap
lure OF Zacatecas by the government troops,
and with still greater reserve rumor Of the
crushing defeat of the revoutionists under
TrevihO. If this report or rumor be based on
fact strong tide of success has set in for
Juarez, and as it never rains but 1t pours, so
in the case of the revolutionists reverses have
lately followed so fast upon one another that
their prospects are getting rather cloudy.
But then who can foretell what the next day
may bring forth in Mexico?

Our Shipping Interests-A Good Movement,
A report comes from Washington that the
Subcommittee on Commerce of the Senate,
after full discussion on the question of
American shipping, has decided to recon-
mend the admission Of foreign built vessels
of not less than thousand tons, when pur-
chased or owned by our citizens to American
registration. The subcommittee proposes
also, It Is said, to recommend giving permits
sion to re-register American-bult vessels that
have been transferred to foreigners, if pur-
chased again by American citizens within two
years also to admit free of duty materials
for the construction of steamships, as
well as ship supplies, and coal to be
withdrawn from bond duty free. 1t
is proposed, too, to Impose tonnage
On foreign shipping. This latter proposition
may be questionable but no one ought to
objecfto free trade in ships Or to the registtra-
lion again of vessels that were constructed in
this country and which were transferred to
foreigners during the war. The admission of
shipbuilding materials and supplies duty free
would at the same time stimulate the con-
sruction OF vessels at home. The important
consideration Is to restore our tonnage for
'nat 10 national 10 its bearing and must In the
esa prove sdvantsgsQu 10 Oh Interests.

people wno assembled in mass meeting in
hyde Park on Sunday burned copy Of Pre-
mier Gladstone's Parks Regulation bill. unaer

actor. History may not refuse to admit that
Joseph Mazzini was good and great, and that
he did the cause of liberty some service. but
1t will find 1t necessary to state that he lived

There will be opposition, probably, to this
measure from certain short-sighted protection
lists and local interests but this should DO
ignored in view of the great national object of
restoring American shipping. The Committee
on Commerce ought to report bill at once in
accordance with the reported views of the
subcommittee. and Congress should lose no
time in acting favorably upon it.

legalizing every act Of the board Of directors
yesterday, and establishing the new board in
power beyond a peradventure. This is due
to the character of the Legislature and to the
stockholders Of the Erie road, who have
already suffered enough loss and injury,
and should be protected against litlga-
ton. The bill already before the Senate
should also be passed, Notwithstanding
the change in the Erie direction. The present
directors are anxious for its enactment in
order that fair expression of the wishes of
the stockholders may be had in an honest
election. But yesterdays good work must be
at once confirmed and secured. The fight Is
one of honor against dishonor-of integrity
against unscrupulousness-of honest men
against plunderers. The Legislature can
now hope for no further favors, pc
cuniary or political, from Jay Gould.
He will soon be ranked among
the members of the Tammany Ring, many of
whom have left their country for their coun-
try's good. The possession of the books and
papers of the company will enable the new
board to trace every dollar of the stockholders
money that has been Incorporated, and 1t
will be singular If something more than civil
suit does not follow the discoveries they will
make. There are 'law expenses" to be
accounted for covering seasons when the
State Legislature was in session, and
amounting to hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars. The twenty millions derived from the
new issue of stock has to be traced to It's desti-
nation, and other work baa te Re done by the
new board which will not be evaded or
sighted by its members. The present Legis-
lature will do wisely if they stop litigation and
free the present directors from embarrass-
ment and obstruction In the labor they have
undertaken.
The news of the overthrow of the Erie
Ring will be received everywhere with salts
faction. 1t will restore our credit abroad and
our selfrespect at home. The VERDICT Of the
people at the last election was rendered as
emphatically against Erie as against Tam
many rascality, and the destruction of the
one without the humiliation of the other
would have left the work of reform incom-
plete. Now let the Legislature of the State
secure to the people the fruits Of yesterdays
victory by prompt legislation, and let our
judges refuse to again make mockery of JUS
tice by arming dishonest men with the wea-
pons of the law to enable them to resume
their lawless acts A few days will dis
close history of proaigacy and
crime that will astonish even those who
have properly appreciated the character Of
the men forming the Erie Ring. The books
are in possession of the new board, and the
attempt made last night by Gould or his
employees to abstract them from the safe
shows the desperate straits to which the con-
spirators are driven. An effort to aid them,
either at the State capital or in the courts,
would only involve others in a common
destruction. Let those who would escape
such fate be warned in time.

Now THAT THE Books and vouchers of the
Erie Ring are in the possession Of General Dix
and his associates, the Attorney General of
the State will find ample ammunition for a
bombardment of the citadel Of corruption.
Will he order his artillery to the front and
commence the attack at once?

which proved abortve, is not forgotten. Most
of our readers remember the Orsini conspiracy
