AN INTERESTING POLITICAL CONTRAD10
TON,


Tho Democratic newspapers nowadays
somo one controlling spirit. They are very
much like acries Of jumping. jacks 1nanip-
ulated by one string. The suggestion Of
topic or line Of argument, or special political
information will be found contemporaneously
in the New York Sun, Cincinnati Enquirer,
st. Louis Republican,, Louisville Courier
journal. Chicago I'imes, etc., mud tho
line. The latest theme Of this cooperative
newspaper plan dn a political basis is the de-
termined effort 10 mako tho country bciioro
that Mr.. HAyxs Is pledged to conservative
course toward tie South, aud TINT, TO insurs
poace and homo.rulo In tho Southern States,
he las agreed to divide the Federal Offices
among wlat may be called the non.bnlldozing
Democrats. Just what tho Democrats hope
70 gain by creating this impression, wo do
not know hut that is their affair.
We are told by formidable array Of DEM
ocratio newspapers and MI at once that there
Is ''little gane" to get coutrol Of tbs next
Congress By tho Republicans. This is tho
reason, tho Democrats say, why prominent
Republicans aro urging President GnANr not
to recognize TAcKAnp in Louisiana, bnt leave
President HAYES FREQ to recognize NicHol1s.
They iutimate tl.nt there is regular bargain
and traac, whoruty certain number Of tho
Southern Democratic members nro to act
with tho Republicans In return for tho rec
ogntson Of NIcuotIa In Louiylana and MADE
HAMPTON iu Houth Carolina. Tlis looks q
little ~ IL there was M intention 10 "bull-
doze" tie Southern mombers from
tho Democratic side, md that their
treachery 10 tue party Is assumod
to prepare The way for applying tho lash.
These Dcmocrnts further inform ua that
HAxEa will call certain conservative South
crners to llis Cabinet. and that he will tliH-
tribute the Federal patronage among the
nativo whites without regard to party. We
arn also told that the ultcrior and sinister
purpose Of all this is 10 brcak down tho
color.line In tho South, md divide the whito
voters between the two parties. Tile Demo.

Senator D1AHE was among those Ropnb- I

The New Hampshire Election.

The result of the annual election in
the Granite State on Tuesday of last
week we confess, is not what we cX-
pected.
The Democracy there are defeated
and we may say in truth mainly
through monstrous frauds, the cor
rupt use of money and their own in
activity.
Their candidates for the various OIL
ces were on the whole composed OF
good men thorough Democrats, sin
cerely devoted to the best interests OF
the State and its people as well as to
the future welfare and prosperity OF
the country. But they were defeated
and why? We answer because
the Democrats oil the State did moi
give them all their votes. Let every
Democratic voter in New Hampshire
60 to the polls and vote the ticket Of
the party and the State is Democratic
by a large and decisive majority. Un'
til they can do this they must learn t(
bear up under Republican, victories
with a spirit both meek and docile
But shall this always be

We forgot to announce, last
week, the death of Hon. d. A. Small
ey, United States Judge for Vermont,
which occurred at his residence in
Burlington on the 10th inst. For many
months he had been in failing health,
having had two or three paralytlc
shocks. He was the trusted leader OF
the Democratic party in this state for
many, years, and was appointed to the
Office he so ably and acceptably filed
by President Pierce. His funeral
was largely attended by members OF
the bench, the bar, the pulpit and the
press.

Ex-senator Simon Cameron.

This truly devoted and faithful ser
want for many years to the interests OF
the so-called Republican party OF the
country, after retiring 40 ne"'er
from the U. S. Senate OH the 4th, inst,
received the following unkind COM
pllment from the Boston Journal -
"But Lincoln, who had the faculty,
not only of quickly seeing through
men, but of skilllully disposing ofthem
accordingly, sent him away from the
War Department TO Russia Gamer
on's hand, however, was never taken
off from Pennsylvania politics, so that
he had not difficulty, on his resigna-
ton of the Russian mission, in getting
himself reelected to the Senate IN
1867. There have been many good
points about Mr.. Cameron's public Co
reer, but, as a whole, it belongs, we
trust, to past regime. Political
management, bordering terribly close
upon political corruption, has been
ever his favorile weapon. What ne
has not known about wire-pulling in
conventions, and the financial control
of legislatures and jobbery in general,
was never worth knowing. He has,
whether deservedly or not, made
Pennsylvania politics a by-word.
True enough ! Now if President
Hayes will only clean out all such
corrupt swiudling demagogues as
Cameron and others of that stamp
from place and powers, that hold
office under the United States Gov
ernment, the people will thank him
and believe that "Civil Service Re-
faughn is he uq ana Ueas. therein b in
whole country.
But supposing that is done how
many Republicans will remain ii
office ? Please answer this important
question.

There has been no definite action
taken by the President as yet, having
reference to change in the diplomat
ic service, but there is abundant rea-
son to believe that radical changes
will be made in the personelle of our
foreign ministers and consular agents.
Some of them are VIGOROUSLY unfit
for the positions they occupy, having
been appointed for political reasons
