The Commissioners have purchased the

REcExT ELEcrIoxs.-We have en-.
deavored to draw confer. from the late
elections in New Hsmpsbire and Con-
Dectieut but they dou't comfort worth
a. well, worth . cent. The RepsBK-
cans have gained on the popular vote in
both States and they about stand or
with the Democrats in other matters.
We confess to have expected very Diff
ferent showing These elections. CON-
ing sff i'm the white beat Of popular in
dignatiop, consequent upon the expo
sure OF recent fragrant Washington and
other frauds, had led us tosuppose that
the whole country wasablaze with wrath
and restless to throttle, throw down and
trample on the arrant venality and oren
perjury of Grant and Grant;sm. Not
a bit Of it, however. Albeit, the able,
weIl-organized and energetic endeavors
Of the democrats to'create an unusual
sensation and make the two campaigns
exceptionally pointed against the evil
doings Of the national administration
and its following in the States, the re-
suit is drawn Lattle," neither party
achieving any notable advantage
GraDtism stills holds its own and the
wide wilderness Of corruption brought
to its very door has thus far been of
'none effect" in keeping us ito the
right as the law directs" nor avoiding
the cataract ahead, where all that is not
death is darkness. The pity of the
thing is, that the drunken pilot is the
darling people" and that it is the gov
eminent by the people and through the
people" that is nnw in the rapids.
