The Danger of Ofice-Seeking

There seems to be one Democratic edi
tor in the west who is not proposing to go
to Washington next December in search
of an Office at the hands of the party. He
edits the Burlington Qowa) Gazette, and
he solemnly discourses thusly:
Because the Democrats have got hold
of the next house of representatives, every
fellow who can lay any claim whatever to
party service is putting himself forward as
a candidate for the various offices within
it's gifts. Ohio has at least sent dozen,
the majority of whom are country editors.
We have no desire to interfere with their
harmless amusement, but There is dread
full example example of what Office seek
ing can bring a man to, now travelling
around the country, seeking rest but find
ing none. Bill King was once vir-
tuous country editor, but in moment of
forgetfulness the maggot of ambition was
introduced into his brain, and from the
very hour that he became post master of
the house, his difficulties commenced.
Country editor, l charge thee, fling away

New Hampshire.

It is not certain after all that the Ne
publicans will have the next governor IN
New Hampshire. There was no choice Dy
the people, and the election therefore goes
TO the legislature. The Republicans have
claimed a majority in the new legislature
which was elected in March, but there are
enough contested seats to leave this ques-
ton in doubt. As the clerk Of the last
house is a Democrat, and he, under the
law, will have the power of making up the
list Of members entitled to seats in the
House of Representatives, while the deci-
sion of the contested seats in the senate
rests with the present governor. and coun-
Gil, who are likewise Democrats, it will be
seen that the Democrats have the power
to initiate the example which the
Republicans have set them in louisa
ma and in congress, and seat the conSesI-
ants who are of their own polltlca! Iaitn
without regard to the legality OF their cleo
tiop. Some of the Republican politicians
profess to believe that this will Dc zone
and of course they are overwhelmed with
indignation at the atrocity OF such an loea,
though they looked with entire equanimlty
upon the proceedings of Grant, Kellogg and
Phil Sheridan, when they unlawfully used
Federal troops to crush popular represen
tation in Louisiana, and to enforce the
fraudulent work Of partisan Returning
Board. 1t has even been reported that
Federal official has written to Grant upoi
the subject, and has received assurance
from that self-complacent functlonary tina
il observation-disclosures is necessary IN orde
to give the Republicans control, it shall b
forthcoming. This, however, seems to-
preposterous to be true; for although
Grant has quite as much right to interior
in the organization of the New Hampshlr
legislature as he had in that of the Louis
lana body, such usurpation OF authorit
would hardly be tolerated in the latitud
OF New England. We trust, however, thu
Democratic officials have too much intet
rity, to follow the example of Grants SUI
porters by countenancing frauds upon tt
ballot box. They certainly could not i
lure the prospects Of their party for futu
success more seriously than by countenan
ing anything which has even the q
pearance of an interference with the puri
of elections, and we do not believe the
need be any apprehension of their comm
ting so grave an error. From the amou
of lying done in the interest of the Repu
lican party at the time the returns we
coming in, however, we should not be 81
prised if it should turn out that the Den
Gratis elected majority of the legislatul
as they undoubtedly did of the congre'
men. If this is so, all the Democrats W

The unanimity of sentiment in the
South against there being any man from
that section on the next national Democratic
ticket has spiked one of the biggest guhs
ofthe Administration journals. They have
been shouting for quite while that the
next Opposition ticket would have rebel
on it, and its election would therefore mean
a restoration of the Sonth to power. They
can't say that any longer, and there are
pretty strong evidences that they are
grieved thereat. --Neac York Tribune,
