The Pittsburgh Commercial, Grant or
gan, was very jubiant ON Wednesday
morning last week over the New Hamp-
shire election. The following are its
head lines:
The Republicans Gain in Every Direc-
tion-They Elect their Governor-Both
Branches Of the Legislature-And All
Three Congressman.
But by Thursday morning sad change
came over the spirit of its dream, and it
mournfully exclaimed;
No Choice of Governor-The Republi-
can Legislature will Elect Cheney-One.
Republican Congressman Probably Lost
Quite come down from the day be-
fore. The local contest for State officers
and the Legislature depends much on the
personal popularity of the candidates
but the gain of a member of Congress is
a substantial Democratic triumph that
strikes at the right point.

WHILE speaking Of the bill lately
passed by Congress enabling Colorado to
form State Government and come into
the Union, it may be well to recollect
that o similar opportunity was granted
in 1864, and the people refused to accept
it, The next year provisional Constitu-
ton was adopted, a State Government
and United States Senators elected, and
all things got in readiness for the bill
which it was confidently expected would
pass Congress and be approved by the
President, But Andrew johnson stepped
in with one of his famous vetoes, and
Colorado has been knocking for admis-
sion ever since.

THE Times throws these candid SEN
tences pell-mell into one and the same
article: at 1.-THE New Hampshire elec-
toni should, in the first place, lead to
that unity eOhich is now The urgent need Of
the party, and Which has been so long lack
ing IN our councils" y "For
instance, the Murtagh paper at Washing
ton-which undoubtedly lives on the
very breath of the White House, and on
nothing else except occasional Swindling
'contrdcts'-has repeatedly advised the
public to take into their favorable con-
sideralion the third term idea" 4 \
"Again, the same mischievous organ
declared the other day that the Force
bill' was required to prese we to the Re-
publican party the electoral votes of the
Southern States an admission which ii
is using mild language to sag could only
haze proceeded from ScouadreI" There
can be no question that there is plenti-
full lack and urgent need of unity in the
Republican party; but the Times assault
upon the "Murtagh paper" and its insin
uations against the White House cause us
to fear that the dawn of the Republican
millennium is remote ~ Y World.

GEO. VIM. CURTIS, the able editor of
Harpers Radical weekly, is still giving
the Republicans advice in golden chunks.
In the last issue of his paper Mr.. Curtis
closes an earnest editorial in the follow
ing good style;
1T will not be denied that the Repub.
lican defeat of last autumn was due to
Republican apathy and discomfort, or if
any one thinks that it was the result of
hard times, the party has done nothing
to make them easier. Now how many
of those apathetic and discontented Re-
publicans have been recalled with en-
thusiasm to the party by the Force Bill
and the Butler policy, and how much
have such bills done to restore the con-
fidence without which times cannot
mend? There are energetic gentlemen
who denounce the protesting Republi-
cans as a pack of towards, and who
think that vigorous policy will soon
whip them in. That was precisely what
the Englishman thought of the colonsts
hundred years ago, and the slave
holders of the Yankees fifteen years ago.
But the Englishmen and the slave-hold-
ers suddenly became very much wiser.
They learned that there is no courage
so sure and enduring and restless as
that which rests on the principle and
which declines to sacrifice the perma-
nent guarantees of freedom and justice
to the apparent advantage of moment
or of party. The Republican party
will not follow Butler. nor approve such
monstrous legislation as the Force Bill
nor re-elect the President for third
term; and any Republican leader who
thinks that it will wholly misconceives
the spirit of the party"

IT is an old saying, that a fool can ask
a question wise man may not be able
to answer and is equally true that an
honest questioner may find it difficult to
draw an answer from corrupt knave.
Our readers are aware that we have in
vain propounded few plain questions
to Messrs. Schaefer and Bascom, ne
editors of the Repository eStab6Shmg5. .
These questions, in which the public arC
intere ed the public functionaries named
will specifically notice
Tn sc editors profess to be public
spirited cilizens, especially Mr.. Schaeier'
They claim the confidence of the public
claim to be worthy of that confidence
The questions we have been demanding
answers to, look to Mr.. Schaefer's claims
to trustworthiness. Honorable and high
minded men would, usually, be prompt
to meet such questions, as they pertain
to mans integrity of characterize his
title and claim to public confidence.
But our efforts have thus far failed to
obtain square answers to these questions.
"Boss" Tweed in New York, and "BoSs'
Shepherd in Washington, were not in
clined to answer questions pertaining to
their public acts. 1t would seem that
other "Bosses" act in a similar manner,
and treat with silent contempt the ques-
tons in which taxpayers have an in
terest.
One of the queries we have propound-
ed is in regard to that scratched bill of
the Gas Fittings for the Court House.
Mr.. Schaefer ought to be able to explain
it. Why were the itemized prices, which
were once plainly written, all scratched
out? All dealers in those articles say
the county paid at least five hundred
dollars more than ought to have been
paid. Somebody, undoubtedly, pocketed
a clean five hundred; but Stark county
paid it, was robbed of it. Addition,
division and silence seems to have
been the game. Besides, the county
paid Mr.. Schaefer fifty dollars for his

ways that are dark and tricks that are

was not one, and that Schaefer could and
would explain the mysterious and suspi-
,ious transaction. But it seems he de-
