TODAY New Hampshire elects Gov
ernor and other State officers, together
with Legislature. The canvass has been
one of the most spirited that has ever been
known. Four tickets are in the field, and
the probability is that neither one of them
will receive a majority, in which case the
election will be thrown into the Legisla-
ture. The Republicans are sanguine OF

The LOUISVILLE CONVENTION of 'straight-

on platform Of the "time-honored principles

Tho Reported ArapahOe Massacre In
Colorado.
despatch, received on Saturday night
from Topeka, Kansas, announced terrible
Indian massacre in Colorado Territory by the
Arapahoes, whose details are sufficiently hor-
rible, but which, from various points In the
recital, we hope may prove untrue. A gov
eminent train of thirty-six mule teams, on its
way to Fort Lyon from Carson City, became
mired in the sandy bottom of Dry Greek.
While thus detained, the story runs, two hun
dred Arapahoe warriors, under 'Little Raven"
swooped down, and, after numbering or
wounding fifteen men belonging to the
train, ran of the mules, having in the
meantime skinned alive Mr.. Bryan,
the wagon master, from head to foot. What
encourages us not to put hasty confidence in
this terrible affair is the unlikelihood of the at
tack while the escort" Of one hundred
cavalry was known to be, even as
the despatch states, ''nine miles In the
rear" The Arapahoe is foe the more
dangerous because Of the sagacity with which
he counts the odds, and will seldom attack
unless these are twenty TO one in his favor
Perhaps the first that he counts on is
his ability to carry off his plumber; and
even with the start Of few miles it
seems odd that the savages could not be
trailed and captured, or at least the property
recovered. If the report be confirmed it will
go to prove an increase of audacity on the
part of this blood-thirsty tribe which augurs
badly for the future of the peace policy-in
their regard, at any rate. This band of
Little Raven's' should be turned over to the
care of Little Phil and dealt with after his
most approved method What should be
done to the officer in command of the escort
who allowed q slow-moving mule train to be
nine miles ahead of him in hostile country
we would leave in the hands of court-martial.
If found guilty Of the criminal negligence
alleged he should be visited in o manner to
waken up all escort officers in future.

have lost confidence in the present manage
ment of their party.
A glance ct the vote in the steadfast State of
Vermont ever since the republican party was
first organized is sufficient to show what is to
be expected of the Green Mountain boys at
this time, when General Grant is again at the
head Of that party for reelection. In 1856
the majority for Fremont was 40, In
1860 Lincoln received $4,000 majority.
In 1854, Lncoln's majority was in
creased to the old standard, $4,000.
In 1868 General Grants majority was
still larger, being nearly $4,000. In 1869 the
republican Governor obtained over 20, 600 mo-
jority, and in 1870 and 1871 over $1,000. We
cannot, therefore, expect from Vermont to-
morrow less than 10000 majority for the re-
publican ticket, and as the Presidential ques-
ton is before the people, 1t should properly
range from that to $4,000. President Grant
should be more powerful now in Vermont
than he was four years ago, when he
received the splendid majority of $4,000,
and should there be any wavering from
the steady, reliable republican vote TO-
morrow, it will be accepted as ON indication
that the policy of those who support the adj
ministration is not wholly acceptable to the
Vermonters. There Is nothing, however, to
warrant the belief that such will be the
case. The Vermont voters are not apt
to change their political views, and the
issues on which the strongest fight
has been made against the republican
policy affect them but little. There has been
no active campaign in the State and nothing
has transpired to stir up any material division
in tho dominant party. The electors will pro-
baby go to the polls and vote as they have
been accustomed to vote ever since Fremonts
candidacy, and tho republicans can conf
IDENTIFY reckon On q majority ranging as

Rev. Charles B. Smyth contrasted New York
and Athens and found many points Of resem-
blance between them, but our city excels in
this, that it has two hundred and seventy-two
newspapers, whereas Athens had none. And
we may add ALSO in this, that it has sensa-
tionalst parson like this reverend, which
Athens probably had not. Rev. DR.. Bidwell
talked in the Mariners church last night ON
the great discovery of Livingstone by the
HERALD Search Expedition and the trials and
endurance of Mr.. Stanley.

pounded the miracle of the restoration to life
of the widows son ct Main, and revealed, in

lesson of the incident, as impressed by DR..
Starrs was the certainty of death and the
uncertainty Of its advent, and hence the inn
portance of being always prepared to meet it,,
for death is the greatest event of human ex-
istence and human experience. DR.. Porter,
of Brooklyn, demonstrated the fact that the,
Christian life is not failure, since Christ is'
in it. Rev. James M. Brown, at Long

between three and four hundred dollarq.
Every man expressed his willingness to
double his subscription, and some said
they would do several times Better than

guarantee that the powers of the law
will be strenuously sought to put an end
to tho frauds perpetrated upon the citi-
zens by guilty officials Ind to punish the
wrong-doers. many earnest citizens as
sure US that $1,000 can be readily raised
right here in Columbia, if so much be
necessary, and other portions of the
State do not respond promptly. But We
nre thoroughly convinced, from our ex-
perience here, that our people through
out the State will subscribe with no Mig
gard hands, even from their scanty earn
ings, to redeem the State, to punish

TERRIFIC THUNDER SroRM-FArAL Re-
sULT.-On Thursday night. the 1st of
August, the house of Mr.. J. T. Rogers,
few miles below Society Hill, was
struck by lightning and considerably
shivered. Providentially, it was just
then unocoupied, the two brothers hav-
ing left in the afternoon. to spend the
night with their elder brother at the
house of his father-in-law. It is believed
they would certainly have been killed
had they been in the house. The kitchen
was also struck. In the absence Of the
occupants of the house, Mr.. Bachelor,
his wife, and married daughter, who
was on visit to her parents, who are
lahorers on the place, were temporarily
lodging in the kitchen to protect the
place. The daughter was killed, the
mother 30 seriously injured that her re.
covery is doubtful; the father escaped
with u severe shock. A colored man,
not far off, whose cabin was in the track
of the storm, gave his impression of its
terrific character by saying he thought
judgment had come.

LYNcH1Na IN KANsAs.-The Kansas
City Bulletin of the 9th ult., says: JAS
Sharpe. who murdered John Erskine,
near Warrensburg, was taken from the
Jail by mob on Thursday about mid
night and hanged. The mob was about
300 strong, and went at their work un-
disguised. The sheriff attempted to re-.
sist, but the men told him that they re-
spected him and his motive, but Sharpe
must die. They accordingly made q
breach in the walls, battered down the
door of the cell, and took Sharpe out to
a tree about mile and half from old
Warrensburg. After the rope had been
adjusted, Sharpe was asked if he had
anything to say, and replied by confess
ing to the murder of Erskine, and deny
ing the killing of Gallagher, whose death
he was accused of causing. In answer to
question he answered that he was
ready to die. The rope was then hauled
over the limb of tree. and in few
minutes he was dead. He died game.
Many of the most respectable men in
Warrensburg were in the affair. The
work was done quietly, and the mob dis
persed to their homes after it was all
over. The body was given to his family"

JUDGE ORR IN THE PAsT.-The Green
vile Enterprise brings to light the fol-
lowing bit of Judge Orr's history. In
view Of his present advocacy of mill
tary chieftain, this resurrection of his
former opinion is rather cruel:
Judge Orr. in his elaborate and pa
trio:ic speech in Congress. on the Presi-
dental question between Franklin Pierce
and General Scott, undertook to show
the American people the danger to their
republican form of government, in se.
Letting a military ohieftain for their
President. He exclaimed, ''Thank
Heaven! We have not yet reached that
point in the decline Of our Government,
when 1T is necessary to elect a military
man to administer the Executive De-
partment of the Government" In the
next sentence, he says: 'Most republics,
have had that experience where they
had Travelled far down the road to dc.
struotion, and when the time arrives for
us to elect military chieftains to dis
charge the functions of civil officers,
then farewell, long farewell, to all our
greatness. He then prophetically tells
the people: 1.-The second election will
be made by the army. and the appointee
will be dictator!" Not satisfied with
this prophecy, he wisely and most truth
fully says: "In this country. civil quail
fications are alone required, and how
ever bright halo Of glory may enolrcle
the wreathed brow of the military
officer, il he is deficient in knowledge
of civil policy, and is destitute of states.
manship, he is not worthy to rule the
people Of the United States, and ought
not to be trusted with the delicate duties
devolved on our chief magistrates, grow
ing out OF our foreign and domestic
relations" These are the words OF sober
truth and wisdom; and never was their
application more opportune than they
are at present. No friend of General
Grant will pretend to say that he is not
deficient in knowledge Of civil policy.
and ia destitute of statesmanship.
