Beecher Stock Looking Up.

Beecher stock beings to look up.
1t was bad investment last week, but
it has appreciated within the past few
days. Tracy's speech was a poor af-

Brutus was. His voice is better suit
ed for an auctioneer or for a preacher
to congregation of lotos eaters. The
only thing that makes him impressive
is his bulk and his double breasted
coat, which is contrived to give him a
military front and bearing, which great
ly impose on the Imagination. But
Tracy managed to construct a very
strong and ingenious speech, every
line of which will bear reading. The
peroration is suspected to be the die
tation of Henry Ward Beecher him.

New Hampshire EIection

The news of the election, held in
the Old Granite State on Tuesday last,
is of the most cheering Republican
character. The Republicans have car
ried the State by sweeping majority,
electing the Governor, all the Con-
gressmen and both branches OF the
Legislature. That is the news that
reached us yesterday afternoon.
Sufficient returns have come
in to insure beyond a doubt a sweep
ing victory for the Republicans, who
claim they have elected Cheney Gov
ernor by the people and all three Con-
gressmen; that they will have ma
jOrity of thirty to forty in the House,
and also a majority iu the Senate. As
the returns already show the election
of Seven Senators these claims seem
well founded. The Gubernatorial ma
jority will probably be small.
