New Hampshire Election,

The first State election that occurs
in 1872 is in New Hampshire She
votes for Governor and Legislature
on the second Tuesday in March. She
had been Republican for seventeen
long years by small majorities. but in
March, 1871, aided by local issues, the
Democracy unexpectedly carried her,
choosing their Governor and all three
of her members of Congress. Gov
ernor Weston is again the Democrat
ic candidate, and his friends have high
hopes of his success by fair maiori-
ty. The Democrats expect to gain
about 1900 votes by the removal of
some restrictions from naturalized Cit
liens which the Republicans had hith-
erto imposed. If they do succeed, it
will frighten the Grant dynasty. Last
year the vote stood: Weston, "a, 799 !;
Pike. 33, ,S92; the Temperance and La
Dor Reform candidate, 1,132. There
was no choice by the people, but Wes-
ton was elected by a close vote in the
Legislature, the Democrats forming a
union with the Labor Reformers for
that purpose. =

-FAIR FLEcTIoNs.-The Radicals pro-
fess to be in favor of fair and honest
elections. If they are sincere in this
claim they will not go to work to SO
gerrymander the State for members of
Congress as to give to their own party
seventeen members and to the Demo-
Gratis but three At the late Gubena-
terial election the Republican vote was
in round numbers, 238,000, while that
of the Democrats was 21S,OOO. If the
Republican majority be one that they
can maintain, . fair apportionment of
the State would not give them more
than one majority in the Congressional
Delegation, and, any scheme for so
dividing the State as to enable the
Radicals to elect IL Congressman is 3
manifest fraud; intended to disfran-
ehise large share Of the Democratic
voters of the State.

A Damaging Exposure.

Senator Sumner has recently offer
ed resolution in the United States
Senate. asking for the appointment of
a specials Committee to inquire into the
alleged violation of theneutrality laws
by this Government in selling fire.
arms and ammunition to the French
Government during the late war be2
tween France and Germany. This
resolution, for, several days was the
subject of quite an animated debate
in the Senate. On the l4th inst, Mr..
| Sumner made a speech supporting his
Echarges in detail, and showed two
things quite clearly: First, that the
Administration had sold arms and
fixed ammunition to an agent of the
French Government; and, second,
that there was discrepancy of ST.
100000. between the amount paid for
| the arms and the amount the Govern
Ement actually received, which appear
ed to, have gone into the pockets of
certain parties who engineered the
whole transaction The manner in
which Morton, Harlan and other Ad-
ministratien Senators howl their de-
nunciations against the Massachusetts
Senator is quite sufficient to excite
suspicion that there is more in these
charges than has yet been brought TO
the surface. If it be true that our
GOV yerninent sold arms toathes agents
of France during the Franco -Prussian
war in violation of neutrality rights
it cannot fail to have a very damaging
effect upon our claims against Eng
| land pending before the Geneva Con-
| ference for damages sustained from
her priyateers during our late unpleas-
antness- And if it shall turn out that
thesecharges are true, ofwhich there
seems little doubt,, how utterly hyp-
pocritical does it show this Radical
party, to have been in their professions

What Defeated Amnesty.

The supplemental Civil Rights Bill
of Senator Summer which was attach
ed as an amendment to the General
Amnesty Bill by the casting vote of
the Vice President, made that meas
ure rather too savory dish for even
the palates of number of Radicals,
sufficient number of whom voted
against the measure as thus amended,
to prevent. It passage. The following
| is the substance of Summers amen
ment: It declares that no oscitizen of
the United States shall. by reason of
race, color, ,or previous condition of SER
vitude, be excepted or excluded from
the full and equalenjoyment of any ac-
commodation, advantage, facility, or
privilege furnished by inn-keepers ;
by common carriers, whether ON land
or by water by licensed owners, man
ayers, or lesses of theatres or other
places of public amusement; by trus-
tees, commissioners, superintendents,
teachers and other officers of common
schools and public institutions of lear
ming, the same being supported by
moneys derived from general taxation
Tor authorized by law by trustees and
officers of church organizations. cem-
etery associations and benevolent in
situations incorporated by National or
State authority. The penalty for the
retaliation <,f THE rrpook -r,xE,;foxuosb;,,
act was fine of five hundred dollars
| for each offense; and so well satisfied
were those who supported it that it
was obnoxious to the people they
would not trust the State courts to ex-
ecute it, but provided that all cases
for a violation fits provisions should
be tried by the Federal Courts. f,5ao.
This bill was designed to establish
complete social equality between the
whites and negroes. Under its pro-
visions an inn keeper would not dare
refuse to put negroes and whites in the
same beds and at the same tables, and
Masons,2 Odd-Fellows and other be-
nevolent institutions could not. refuse
to receive negroes into their organiza-
