NEW HAMPSHIRE.

AS the majority in the next House
of Representative will be disagreeablv
small for the Democratic managers, and
may be materially affected by the result
of the pending election in the State Of
New Hampshire, the result in that State
is anticipated with some interest. a
Governor, three congressman, and sew
eral State officers will he elected. Up
to this time the voters Of the old Gran
lite State, have been more concerned
over the Presidential question than
about State politics. The campaign so
far has shown little spirit on either side.
The Republican organization, however,
seems to be considered better than that
of their opponents. The Republicans
rely, also, not without reason, upon the
local influence of a decision in favor of
their candidate for the Presidency. 1t
is not strange of course, that both sides
should have overlooked State for Ma
tional issues Had the Electoral Com
mission decided in favor of Mr.. Tilden,
the Democrats would, in all probability,
have carried the State the strength of
the parties being so evenly balanced.
Now that this threatened calamity is
past, it is confidently expected that
Prescott will carry the State by hand
some majority, and that at least two
out Of the three Congressman to be
elected will be Republicans.

ANOTHER EASTERN SHORE RAILROAD.

The establishment of a direct rail
road connection between Baltimore and
the Eastern Shore of Maryland is an
enterprise the realization of which it
would seem should not be long DELAYED
Our readers will remember that less
than wear ago considerable local in
tercst was excited in behalf of the pro-
posed Elkton and Middletown railroad,
the advantages of which were gencr-
ally recognized at the time, and a char
ter for which was at once obtained from
the Legislature of the State then in
session. 1t is not our purpose to re-
peat now the arguments in favor of the
proposed road. Suffice it to say that
this fact was made plain, that any given
point on the Eastern Shore of Mary
land was made thirty-one miles nearer
Baltimore than bv the circuitous route
now travelled, which reduction in dis
lance would necessarily induce largely
increased grain shipments and general
freight traffic from all points on the
Peninsula and constitute the basis Of a
valuable trade to the main stem Of the
T., W. & B. Railroad, all of which the
city of Baltimore would reap the bcnc-

rally tributary to Baltimore, the EIkton
and Middletown road was, and we be-
lieve still is, considered the cheapest
and most practical The proposed road
WAS considered favorablv by the p, W.
4 b. Railroad, and will, we believe, be
eventually built by it.
We refer, however, to the matter
now for the purpose of calling attention

peake and Delaware Bay road, char
ter for which has been obtained, and
which has recently been favorably no.
ticed by leading Baltimore daily news
paper. Lewes, on the Delaware, and
Love Point, on Kent Island, are the
terminal points Of the projected road.
1t is proposed to extend the juno
ton and Breakwater road from Har-
rington, the point at which it strikes
the main stem Of the Delaware road,
to Greenshorough, IA distance of fifteen
miles. on the Delaware and MARYLAND
railroad, and thence thirty miles to
Love Point, the northern extremity of
Kent Island, distant about thirty miles
by water from Baltimore BY this
direct route, it is claimed, the distance
between Baltimore aud Harrington is
reduced about seventy-five miles, and
as the proposed route passes through
level country the road can be chcaplv
built One serious objection is appar-
ent in the proposed route, the water
transportation from Kent Island to Bal
timore, liable to obstruction by ice in
the winter season, and necessitating the
rehanding of freight for reshipment by
boat. That the successful operation of

SO far from asserting to the claim that Mr..
Tiiden is entitled to another nomination at
the bands of the party, we charge that to
his nomination, aud to the party manage
ment which it involved, or which was sub
mltted to AT his dlctation, are chiefly due
our present defeat.
We charge that the nomination of Mr..
Tilden was obtained by diSreptuable means.
In this case office did not seek the man,
but the man sought the office by the use of
agencies with which wealthy and unscrupu-
lous politicians are familiar. Paid ennis

ent State Capitals for months before the
st. Louis Convention met, working up the
Illden interest.

occupied rooms during the last session at a
fashionable hotel here, and headed the
Illden clique at the National Capital
The system which in State aud municipal
politics is known as " cooking the prma-
rieS was assiduouSly worked, and the
result was that the Convention which met
at st. Louis did not represent the feelings
and wishes of the Democracy of the county,
but that majority of its members came
there already pledged to Mr.. rilden. At
st. Louis it was found that the town had
been, as politicians called it, " sailed" and
an overpowelng lobby, to maintain which
1t must have cost somebody large sum of
money, fairly drowned the expression of
any sentiment which was not attuned to
the key-not given out from the office of
the Governor of New York
Beside lowering the tone of the contest
from the high ground which the many glar-
ing iniqutles of the Radical party had en-
abled it to occupy. this idea OF a campaign
to be won with money was the most DONOR
alzing which could possibly have been
thrown into the Democratic ranks at such
a luncturc. Every one of the venal class
OF politicians at once wanted to get his
hands into that barrel Of money, and vas
dissatisfied that it did not come along.

ALAS POOR BELLS!
"Toll. Roland, toll

So it seems, that nervous Philadel-
phians have taken exception to what

of St Marks Church, in that city, have
been suppressed by the solemn iudg-
ment of a Court. SiIenced, too, in dis

WHO WILL RECOGNIZE MR.. HAYES.

In the midst of u great deal Of talk
about Mr. Tildcn being the choice OF
the people, and predictions that the
country will not recognize Mr. HAYES,
the New York Herald " takes the
trouble to calmly analyze the situation
The conclusions deduced are we'll worth
reading, a careful perusal of them
will tend to allav excitement and show
that after ali the country will not be so
badly disappointed in its hopes;
Most of the great sections of the
country will be quite satisfied with this
result Of the Presidential election. In the
New England States the electoral vote,
whose honesty is not questioned. stands as
follows: TlayeS-Maue : Massachusetts

Hayes being the overwhelming choice Of
the New England States they will give his
administration a warm support. Going
from the extreme East to the extreme
West the electoral vote in the Pacific States

Mr. Hayes will accordingly begin his
term as President with the confidence and
favoIing good wishes of the Pacific States,
which gave him all their electoral votes
Coming back to the great common wealths
which are cassed a. the Western States.

South sets its face against iillbuStering or

fair trial. That he will be pretty generally
accepted in the North is evident from the
fact that of the 23l electoral votes of all
the Northern States MIR, Hayes received
1876 and Mr. Tllden only 60. Mr.. Hayes is
the choice of eighteen Northern States aud
Mr.. Tilden of only four. If the Democrats
will east their eyes abroad over the whole

The Struggle Ended.

At last the great struggle is ended;
right and justice have triumphed, as
we always had faith to believe they
would, and Rutherford B. Hayes and
William A. Wheeler, the peoples choice,
have been declared elected respectively
President and President Of the
United States for the next four wears.
At 4.l2 o'clock yesterday morning this
result was reached, the lillibusters hav-
ing made a final stand upon the count
of Wisconsin, the last State upon the
roll. on the ground Of the ineligibilitv
of one of the electors. This old trick
to kill time was, however, defeated
after lengthy debate, and the State
counted for Hayes and Wheeler, who
were thereupon formally declared elect
ed. Well NAV the fillibustering army
hide their heads in shame and NORTH
cation, and soon too will they realize
that. bv their own acts, they have
digged their own political graves. All
honor to the noble men Of the South
who boldly faced the threats and whip
of the Northern Democracy in defense
of justice and right. Truly may it be
said that many of the brave foes who
faced the Union army in 1861 and 50
have to-day joined hands with the men
of that same army, and by combined
effort saved the country from peril as
great as ever threatened it. Hayes and
Wheeler will be formally inaugurated
on Monday next, the oath of office will
in all probability, be administered at
noon on Sunday We firmly believe
that. with the opening of the admins
tration of Gov HAYES, our people will
settle down once more to business pur-
suits, undisturbed by the heat and pas
sion incident to political strife, and that
it will mark the opening of an era OF
prosperity unprecedented in the history
of the nation. Its development must
of necessity, be gradual, but that it is
dawning upon us, we haven't the
shadow of doubt.
The proclamation, as made by the
presiding officer of the joint conven-
ton of the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives at 4l2 O'Clock, Friday
morning, was as follows:
PROCLAMATION.
The whole number of Electors appointed
to vote for President and Vice President of
the United States was 800, of which a ma
,jority is 1S5.
The state of the vote for President, as
delivered by the tellers, and as determined
under the act of Congress of January.
1877, on this subject, is for Rutherford B.
Hayes 1856; for Samuel J. Tilden 1S4 votes.
The state of the vote for Vice President
of the United States. as delivered by tellers
and as determined, under act of Congress,
approved July 80, 1871, on this subject, is
for William A. Wheeler, 1S5 votes; for
Thomas B. Hendricks, 1874.
Whereupon do announce that Ruther-
ford B. Hayes, of the State Of Ohio, hav-
ing received a majority of the whole mum
Der of Electoral votes, is duly elected
President of the United States for four
years commencing on the 4th day of
March, 1S7,,-a solitary hiss and no other
manifestation and that VIM A. Wheeler,
Of the State of New York, having received
majority of the whole number of Eec
toral votes, is duly elected Vice President
of the United States for four years com
mencing on the 18th day Of March, 1877.
