A Low Party Trick.

1t is Of no general Importance to the
country, and will be of no las ting import
ance to New Hampshire. whether the Re-
publicans or Democrats control the Senate
in that close State, politically speaking.
But to secure party majority in the SEN
ate by means obviously unjust, will be to
give the Democracy at large burden Of
no slight character to bear This seems
likely to be the case. There are two CON
tested seats. both of which have been re-
ferred to the Governor and Council. The
council consists of five members, only one
being Republican. At recent meeting
it decided, by vote of four to one, to IN
seat Republican Senator, on the gound
that several votes we're cast for him that
were printed "Natt Head his name being
Nathaniel Head. 1t was proved that he
always signed his first name MATT" even
to official documents, and was 80 generally
addressed. Another Senator, a PrOhbi-
Zionist, was unseated on the ground that
he was not eligible, by reason of non
residence. Certificates were given to the
Democratic contestants, who Will turn the
scale and give the party majority in the
Senate.
1t seems that the Governor had promised
to refer these cases to the Supreme Court,
but he failed to keep his word. 1t is also said
that the proceedings of the Council, in its
arbitrary notice, were unconstitutional.
As to the case OF Mr.. Head, they were un-
doubtedly as illegal as they we're unfair.
The courts in this and other States have
repeatedly decided that the plain intention
of the voter ia to be carried out by CANVASS
ing boards. When the variations in spell
ing OF the same name of candidate are
not such as to raise a doubt az to the inten-
tons of the electors they amount to moth
ing.
This is simple justice, and il in accord
ance with the common sense Of mankind.
When, therefore. PAL tisans violate this
plain and equitable rule of ascertaining the
popular will and seek to nuliifv the ex-
pressions of the majority of the electors in
dignation of all honest men. The trifing
and temporary party advantage gained by
such contemplate trick will cost the
party at large a hundred fold more than it
can possibly be wOrth.-Neac York Mail.

Curious Antiquities.

A few days ago there was received in
| this city, by the Panama steamer, a re-
markable consignment of images and pot.
| terry of various descriptions, taken from
the ancient burial grounds of Peru. Some

possession of Mr.. w. w. Evans, the we'll
| known railroad engineer, long connected
| with public works in South America. We
were yesterday much interested in their ex-
animation at the Office in Pine street. All
are of great antiquity, doubtless dating
back into the remote centuries. In some
instances, tho origin of works of this char
acter from Peru has been traced as far

ture and close contiguity with human re-
