Current Notes.

The New Hampshire Republicans are now
confident that the Democrats will not under
take TO obtain control of the lower branch CT
the Legislature of that state in the manner
proposed by some of the desperate men of
that party. The Republicans have no notion
of quietly permitting themselves to be robbed
of their rights, and many of tie more respec-
table Democrats of New Hampshire will de-
cline TO take part in or be responsible for
such a robbery. The plan to steal the con-
troll of the Senate is not yet abandoned; but
this does not look so hopeful to the Demo-
cratic leaders as it did few days ago, and
even this may be abandoned as accompanied
with too great risks.

Now we begin to come at it. We have

enough it is taken from the Revised Statutes,
or, as the first selectman of back town was
wont to say, the "reoarsed statoots." 1t or
its substance may be found in section GA OF
the school laws, which Is sort of friendly
recapitulation and judicious commentator
of the principles of morality, justice, regard
for truth, universal benevolence, sobriety,
industry, temperance and in short all other
virtues which are ornamental to human soci-
ETY.. Pledge No 2 is total abstinence the
simon.pure, hard pan, iron-clad pledge. The
majority who are to sign the first are to ''re-
affirm their belief in the much tinkered sta
ute and pay money to support reading rooms
and generally be friendly. They are to do
the ''manhood'' part from which one infers
that the fellows who sign the other pledge ad-
init that manhood isn't their best hold. Sup
pose all want "manhood" in theirs, who is to

fear that this is device to permit cultivated
wellto-do people in dress coats to drink prop
erly while those who may have appetites
which get the better of them and who don't
always wear good coat are to be prohibited.
We beg to remark that we have seen culti-
vated persons too inebriated to do the "man-
hood" properly. However there can be no
personal harm in encouraging manhood. The
market isn't crowded.

The hospitalities and honors accorded to
Vice President Wilson at the South are noted
with much qualification by his friends at the
North. What would have been said, fifteen
years ago, if it had been predicted that one of
the leaders of the old abolition party would
live to receive the most complimentary atten-
tons wherever he might go in the southern
states, and, moreover, that he would only
meet with freemen in his whole journey !?
Such are times changes, and we trust That
we all change with them.-B0StOn Journal
The Republican party could send into the
South no representative keener in sagacity,or
more strongly entrenched in the confidence OF
the northern people. For accurately ascer-
tanning the drifs of sentiment in sections and
states it is generally conceded that there are
few politicians in the country superior to him.
We look to Vice President Wilson for an ac'
curate delineation of the South as it is.-Bos-
ton Herald.

THERE is probably no place in the United
States which has felt the pressure of hard
times so severely as Pittsburg, the centre of
the iron trade. In Allegheny City, the resi-

added greatly to the depression, and it is
thought that it will be year or two before
the place will recover its accustomed activity.

SENATOR GORDON of Georgia. seems to
have spoken for himself alone in his declara-
ton that the Southern conservatives ought
as matter of policy, to declare in favor of
preserving the political and civil equality of
the colored men. A writer in one of the
Atlanta papers, who is strongly endorsed by
the editor, has these nice things to say:
''The truth has got 10 come; and the soon
er it comes the better. The position the
negro now occupies in our midst is shame
and disgrace to American freedom. 1t is
damnable outrage upon the pure blood that
courses its way through the veins of the high
minded Teuton. 1t is an infamy as black as
hell ITSELF 1t is baneful curse that should
never be solemnly sanctioned by freeborn
Anglo-Saxon race. And when Gen. Gordon
pretends to represent the true southern SEN
timent by proclaiming a willingness to pledge
himself to maintain negro sovereignty in this
land, he is sadly mistaken"

PROFESSOR BURT G. WILDER strongly OBJ
iects to hanging as punishment for murder,
and advocates some less painful mode of
death. In letter to:the Boston Aduertiser
he proposes that the killing be done by chlo-
roform. He would have the prisoner walk
into close room, where he will be overcome
by the gas and will die, and where he can be
seen by the officers of the law and the medi-
cal attendants, who, after his death shall GER
tify to the fact. This method is certainly an
improvement on hanging. But one fails to
see the necessity Of capital punishment at all.
