Hsw Hampshire Election.


New Hampshire election took place Oh
Tuesday, for Governor. three Congress-
men, Executive Council, Legislature and
county officers. The Radicals swept the
State, elscting the Governor, three mem
bsrs Of Congress, and a majority Of the
Legislature. The Radicals gained two
Representatives. The Philadelphia Times
says
SIN almost any other State, the Republic
cans would be withered into defeat by the
poisonous atmosphere that the Southern
election frauds have thrown over the whole
country, but New Hampshire learns nothing
and forrets nothing, and her people believe
that the war is stil going on, that negroes
are regularly ieasted on By the rebel eanni
balls, and that Florida voted for Hayes by
little less than million"
The Tines is greatly mistaken when it
says that in almost any other State the
late frauds would bring defeat to the Ra-
ideals. They sanction all that Aas been
done, and would vote to-day as they voted
in November last. The people are indif-
ferent, and have evineed their indifference
in many ways. They are SO indifferent,
that any designing adventurer with sufh-
eient daring, could enslave them and fast
en- the yoke Of vassalAge about their neeks.
Grant could have done it, with the army
at his back, and he could have done it
with ease. Zach Chandler or Morton
could have done il with equal facility.
The people Of the United States are just
now in the condition to be made the serfs
Of any bold and Designing knaye who
should have the adroitness to control the
military power under semblance Of law
as Grant did. Look at the facts Rot
tenness permeated every branch Of the
late administration. A Democratic House
Of Representatives exposed it to the pub
lie gaze and even dragged down high
Cabinet officer. The same House Of Re-
representatives. Of the 44th Congress saved
70 the Treasury Of the tax-burdened peo-
pie Of this country, over forty millions Of
dollars, and yet so little have the people
appreciated this service by the Democratic
party, that at the last Congressional elec
ton they escaped defeat in the lower
House of Congress by the most meagre
majority Instead of a majority Of go or
20 as in the 44th Congress, the Democrats
viii now have but bare majority of two or
three, and perhaps not so much as that.
Here is notifying, an alarming evil
denee of the utter indifference of the peo-
pie of this country to their fate The ex-
posure Of the grossest corruption Of their
Official agents does not awaken virtuous
indignation in the popular breast; the
basest fraud ever perpetrated upon the
ballot, so far from arousing opposition and
awaking reaction against it, receives only
the popular sanction. If anything in the
history Of the republics of Greece and
Rome more clearly foretokened their de-
cline and downfall, we have failed to no.
tice it. The most alarming symptom of
political decay is the indifference of the
people. Nopolitical axiom ever embodied
more truth than this, that, "The price of
liberty is eternal vigilance"

Another Returning Board.

The press, even the Democratic press,
in some instances, hes made haste to praise
the foreshadowings Of moro coneiliatory
policy Of the new Presidential incumbent.
But there is pause, there is hesitation, in
The eases of South Carolina and Louisiana.
Mr. Hayes does not act, his good inten-
tons if he had them, have not been ear
ried out. And now, as a sort of make
shift in the present dilemma Of divided
eOunsels in the Radical party on the South
ern policy to be pursued, and to relieve
the administration of an embarrassing re-
spOnsibiliiy, the smart device has been
suggested by Mr.. Blaine, ii is said, Of
new election in those States under Fedo-
raj auspices, with the same villainOus re-
turning boards, to make their fraudulent
returns, as in November. VIII the Dem
ocrats submit further to such triaing as
this? The very suggestion is insulting,
and they ought to spurn the proposition.
II is not pretended that there is any law
or any authority for such course, but its
authors say it might be pursued BY com
mon consent. We shall see whether the
adherents Of Governors Nichols and
Hampton have parted with their senses or
not, or whether they are willing to put
themselves into position to be cheated
again, If Hayes means to do anything
let him do it, the responsibility is his
Let no Democrat attempt to do any thing
calculated to relieve him from it. He will
either reverse Grants bayonet policy in
the South, or maintain it at the bidding Of
Morton, Blaine, Cameron and the rest.
Let him show his hand at once.

It looks now as though the postmaster
is to cut less prominent figure in Amer
lean politics. He has been, for years past,
too much absorbed in politics for the pub
lie good He has been blatant and Off
cious and even offensive to an almost IN
sufferable degree. If he shall now deport
himself with sufficient propriety as to pre-
vent him from boring those who are under
the necessity of entering his Office to de-
post or receive mail matter, il win be a
very decided Improvement on the cOndi-
ton of things for the last decade. He is
very useful citizen in his appropriate
sphere, but when he undertakes the man
agement of party affairs in connection
with his official duties, he becomes super
serviceable and ought to be relieved,

The elder Cameron has resigned his
place in the Senate in the hope that his
mantle may fall on his hopeful son, who
has already received the caucus nomina-
sion. In connection with this transfer of
the Senatorship from father to son, the
Philadelphia Ledger Significantly asks
whether the Proprietary government in
thin country was not abolished with the
revolution Of l776. The Pennsylvania
Legislators wear the Cameron ring in their
noses, just as the cattle on Texan ranch
wear the brand Of their owner.

1t is reported from Washington that
Senator Blaine dined on Saturday evening
with Secretary Eyarts and Secretary
Schurz. In the afternoon Mr.. Blaine at
tended the reception at the White House,
aud was received with marked cordiality
both by the President and Mrs Hayes.
Mr.. Blaine found himself standing nearly
alone in his opposition to Mr.. Hayes, and
concluded be would no longer kick against
the thick bosses Of the presidential buck
Ter, with only Morton for an ally, so he
grounded his arms and made truce, at
least for the time being, although he may
resume hostilities at n more convenient
season.
