SAFE AND SOUND.
NJ I'D.

The fears which were widely felt as 20
the result of the New Hampshire election
have all been dissipated. In spite of the
vigorous stqmping of the old Granite
State by Democratic orators from all
parts of the country, the flooding of
every election precinct with campaign
literature of the most mendacious char
acter, the wholesale frauds and corrup-
ton resorted to by the Democrats in
their desperate purpose to carry the
State at all hazards for the sake of its
influence on The after struggles of the
year, and last and lnosG Important of all,
the explosion of the Belknap shell at the
moment of the hottest tight-in spite of
all this the Republicans have made a
clean sweep of the State and carried it
by larger majority than has been OBJ
taiDed by either party for several years.
1t is useless for the Democracy to at
tempt to belittle this victory. The prize
was valuable one, or that party would
not have made such vigorous attempts
to secure it. The fact that New Hamp-
shi.e has been for several years past a
close State, swaying from side to side by
a small majority, made its value as a
test of the popular current readily recog-
nized. 1t may be of little Importance in
itself, but Rs en- indication of the feeling
of the country it is OF great Importance.
The floating thistle down is Of bnt little
consequence, but it shows which way
the wind blows, and the Republican
majority is larger and heavier than a
thistle down and therefore indicates a
strong current.
The people of this country are not yet
ready to confide the Government to the
hands OF the Democratic party, which
was fostering with corruption when i'm
power, and which is seeking to regain
power by the aid of the men who en-
deavored to destroy the Government
and who proclaim their purpose not to
ayow penitence for their reasonable at
tempt. There are honest men in the
party. as there was Judas
among the Apostles, but the Republican
party denounees the discovered rogue
and hands him over TO the police. The
Democratic party hugs its rogues to its
bosom and seeks to hide them within the |
folds of its mantle. The sharp sighted
franite State Yankees saw this, and
icted accordingiy.-Cleueland Herald.

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.
Delegates from Hancock County.

BY call elsewhere it will be seen that the
Republican State Convention takes place
"Wednesday, March 29th, for the purpose of
nominating a State ticket and delegates at
large to the National Republican Conven-
ton, which meets at Cincinnati, Wednesday,
June 14th, 1876. 1t has been deemed ad-
visable, also, that the delegates present at
the State Convention from their respective
Congressional Districts shall select two del
egates and two alternates TO represent the
District in the National Republican Conven-
fion.
Notice is hereby given that all Republi-
cans from Hancock County, in attendance
at the State Convention, shall be entitled TO
participate in the proceedings ..and cast the
six votes in the Convention to which Han
cock County is entitled under the call for
said State Convention.
In view of the importance of the work
before the Convention, the Committee re-
spcctfully urge that large representation
of Republicans be present from this county.
Let every Republican in the county consid-
er himself especially invited, as the impor-
fance of the occasion demands thoughtful,
earnest work.

THE SUCCESSFUL PHYSICIAN,

There is probably 10 man to whom
the community owe so much as to the
honest, fair spoken physician, who does
his actual duty both to himself anG 20
his patients. Really skillful phy-'~;ans
are not so numerous that their virtues
need no mention, and hence the adver-
tisement of DIR. r. " Pierce, of Buffalo,
may well claim the readers attention.
DIR. Pierce is type of class of men
who obtain success by careful aud well
directed effort, hot attempting too
much, or creating false ideas as to
ability. The only reliable physician
in these days of complicated disor
ders and high-pressure living is the
Specialist" the man who understands
his one branch of the business. Such
in his line is Dr. Pierce. For the benefit
of his readers he has written a"Common
Sense Medical Adviser WHICH is well
worth reading by those who need such IA
work With strict business honor, high
professional skill, reasonable fees, and a
large corps of competent assistants, DIR.
Pierce will doubtless make bis name IA
miliar as ''household words"

ANOTHER INVESTIGATION THAT
MN UnTap1uOyv7r, IDETT


The Democracy have been engaged in
looking after Congressman Hays, of
Alabama, on charge of selling cadet
ship. The facts brought to light showed
that Mrs. Beardsley wanted her son
appointed as cadet, and enlisted the
services of a Mr.. Charlier, principal of
the boarding school in New York where
her son had been educated, to bring the
matter about. He secured the services
of one Lilly, Washington broker, who
secured the appointment for which Mrs.
B. paid him $1,000. The boy was sent
to Alabama, where he resided a month,
and Lilly informed Hays that he was
a resident of that State, and thus secur-
ed his appointment. Lilly swears that
he did not pay Hays one dollar, and that
Hays knew nothing whatever of the bar
gain that had been made with Mrs.
Baardsley. He also swore that he had
been for many years in the cadet trade,
and that he had never paid dollar to
any member of Congress, except in one
instance. Then he had paid 5000 for a
cadetship to Congressman Croff-ath,
Democratic member of the XXXIXth
and XLth Congress from Pennsylvania.
Thus, in fishing for data to convict
Republican, they caught a Democrat. If
the House will keep up investigation,
Democracy will soon have no represen-
tation in Congress at all, at all.

TOWNSHIP OFFICERS.

If you have not already done so, Re-
publicans, it is your imperative duty to
hold primary meeting in each town
ship in this county, and put a ticket in
nomination composed of your best and
purest men. Then, laying aside all per
sonal feeling that may exist in your
ranks, go to work and poll every Repub-
ncan vote In your towneip. You may
be in the minority, but that will not pre-
vent you from showing zeal and deter
mination in a good cause. Emulate the
example set you by your Republican
brethren in the Old Granite State.
To those townships who have not
already appointed day for this purpose,
we would recommend
FRIDAY, March 3lsf, 1876,
at o'clock in the afternoon, which will
give you Saturday to attend to getting
your tickets printed.
Republicans, let this be attended to

MAR 19.-The Senate held no session,
having adjourned over until Monday,
In the House, the Centennial Committee
was authorized to sit during the Con-

bills were passed, and the House ad-
journed.
MAR. 20.-In the Senate, Mr. Wright,

concerning the report of New York
paper, charging him with keeping a pri-
vate secretary in the pay of the Govern

that he kept no private secretary at all
The Sioux Indians next received the
Senate's attention, and much opposition
was exhibited by Western members to
granting them any more money to be
distributed through the agency of the
Indian Commissions. Mr.. Morton then
called up his bill providing for the
counting of the votes for the President
and Vice-President. 1t was discussed at
length After a short executive session,
adjourned. In the House, the roll of
States was called, and large number of
memorials and petitions presented and
bills introduced, the most important
of which were ''To amend the National
Banking Act;" ''To regulate the curren-
cy," both of which were referred, and
"To repeal all the prov isions of the Re-
sumption Act" 1t was moved to sus-
pend the rules and pass the last-named
bill, and the yeas and nays were ordered.
The motion was lost-yeas 109, nays 10S
it requiring two-thirds vote. The
House then proceeded to discuss the
business of the District of Columbia,
thus cutting off vote on Mr.. Payne's
financial bill, after which it adjourned.
MAR. 21.-In the Senate several bills
and petitions were introduced, all of
which were referred. A committee of
conference was then asked for, to con-
fer with the House concerning the ap-
preparations for the West Point Acade-
my. A committee was appointed, and
Mr.. Morton's election bill was called up
and discussed. Two amendments to the
bill were voted down, and while the bill
was still under discussion, the Senate
went into executive session and soon
adjourned, In the House, the Commit
tee on Expenditures in the Treasury
Department were instructed to investi-
gate the management and disposition of
captured and abandoned property. The
Speaker called for the report of commit
tees, and the Judiciary Committee re-
ported adversely to the bill requiring the
speeches of the members to be printed
in the language of their delivery. The
same committee reported bill making
1t misdemeanor for any person in the
government employ to contribute funds |
or canvass for any election. Mr.. Blaine |
desired to amend the bill by making it
include members of Congress, but Mr..
of the committee, objected. |
A heated and animated debate sprang |
up between these two. The House then
went into committee of the Whole, and
discussed the Legislative appropriation
bill. The Republican members de-
bounced the bill as an attempt to Grip
pie the government, while the members
