The Concord SfGfesmGH thus sums up the
prospect for the New Hampshire election
in March
1t is in the power OF the Republicans to
elect each of their candidates for Congress,
but work will be required and much Of it
1t is not year when the people can be
wrought up to such pitch as during
either the years of the war, or a they were
in March, ls65 and March, 1872, because
then New Hampshire led off in a Presiden-
tial year, and the Republicans Of New
Hampshire felt bound to do their utmost in
behalf of their political brethren throughout
the Union. Now our election becomes an
isolated affair, and must be regarded accor-
dinghy. We look for handsome majority
for Gov. Straw only, however, upon the
presumption that the Republicans have re-
solved they will never again be beaten by
accidents.

\ clear case of recklessness, according to
the Boston Glo5e. has been established
against the managers of the Boston and Al
bany Railroad The recent accident at
Middlefeld, it appears, Is now shown TO
have resulted from a neglect on the part Of
the company to rebuild or strengthen the
bridge that broke down on that occasion.
A warning of its dangerous condition i
said to have been sent to the chief Office fully
six months ago, since which time nothing
whatever was done to prevent possible
catastrophe 1t is claimed OF behalfof the
company that the accident would not have
occurred but for the breaking Of a brake
beam of one of the cars This may be
strictly true, but, as the Glo5e says, the
fact still remains that the warning to look
to the bridge, although given in good time,
did not receive the slightest attention.
