GOVERNOR OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.

The Manchester IN. H. Mirror and Farmer
makes the following complimentary and
very just reference to TIE newly elected
Governor Of that State:
Before we dismiss tho late election we wish
to say word concerning the splendid run
made by our candidate for governor, General
MATT HEAD, who, TO the great surprise of
everybody, received more votes than all three
Of his opponents, aud is triumphantly elected.
1t was not an easy matter to choose between
him and his accomplished competitor In the
convention, but we believed then that he pos-
sessed more elements Of strength than any
other man, aud tho returns prove that we were
right. II Is not possible to tell Just how many
votes were drawn to our ticket by the popular
ity Of our candidate, for n man who votes for a
gubcrnatorial nominee generally votes for all
those connected with him, and the ballot Is n
straight one. with nothing to distinguish II
from those cost by men who follow the party
nominations without much regard to the char.
acter Of the nominees; but wo know Of large
number Of voters who gave us their help sim
ply because they believed In MATT HEAD. We
can name fifty such In Manchester, and we
hear OF one or two In nearly every small town
from which We get reports. Tho official re-
turns show, too, that In many towns there
were Democrats who while they could not
bring themselves to vote the Republican ticket,
voted for MATT HEAD.
He got the soldier vote almost solid; the re-
form club element was earnest and united In
his behalf; and his host of personal friends,
scattered as they were all over the State, made
his cause their own aud helped swell his vote
Owing to the peculiar situation no effort was
made by the party, as such, to increase his vote.
II was known from the start that neither Of
his opponents could be elected, and the fight
was made for the Legislature which Il was
supposed would elect the Governor, senator,
and all the State officers.
This being the case, weak candidate, or
even one who was not particularly strong,
would have run behind tho ticket. He leads
II; and his election is not only victory for
the party, but personal triumph for him,
which justides the strong hold which he has
upon his friends and proves the wisdom Of his
nomination.
1t may be noted, too, that he Is strongest
where he is best known. In HoOksett, where
le lives, his nomination bore fruit in the shape
OF Republican gain Of %, and among his
Pembroke neighbors 1t gavo US gain Of AZ.
In his county Of Merrimack, which has been
generally Democratic, he has handsome ma.
Jority, and In Manchester his vote, notwith-
standing the Greenback detection, which hurt
us about 200, his vote was only % less than
PREscorT's last year. II he makes as good
Governor as he has q candidate, 1t will be all
his best friends can WISH

THE supplemental pages of this issue OF
THE NATIONAL REPrBLTCAN contain the
full text Of Senator BLAINE's remarkable
speech on the Southern Question in the
Senate yesterday, directory of the For
eign legations at the National Capital, and
large amount of advertising, to which es-
pecial attention is directed.

THE Democrats in the Senate yesterday
eagerly assumed the responsibility of de-
Tending the worse than atrocious crimes Of
the late Southern campaign. Mr.. BLAINE's
seed was planted in the warm soil of po-
ftical hot-house, and the sprouts are already

Congress McMahon, OF the Dayton district, tells

by his committee. We are glad so profound a
statesman rs Mcmahon has informed the country
on this matter. There has been suspicion lurking
IN the public mind for some time past that some.

least seemed to know exactly what 1t was. McMa-

Post Is on the correct track now; but we
beg to remind II that It must expect to pay
the usual penalty. e., loss of influence, II

The FIRST veto BY Mr.. Hayes was moi

VIA had already been said BY those opoos.
ed to the silver bill, and, as Mr.. Hayes be.
no party and personal following, it vas no
to be expected that his course, whatever j
might be, would affect the fate ofthe meas.
ure. II anything is certain it is that such
course as Mr.. Hayes has pushed on thi:
and all other subject since his inaugura
tion, has taken from him all influence with
Congress. On question of this magni
tu'le on which the minda Of men have long
been made up one way or the other, it /,
strange that the highest officer in the coun
Try should have been in 80 much doub,
ab,ut his course, that his iLtima,es claimed
him for both sides almos; up to the Lour

THE RESUMPTION ACT.
1t seems TO be the general belief that tn
bill to repeal The resumption act will be
the next financial measure TO be proposed
do not believe the bill can pass, but dis
cussion may suggestsom middle cours
which will be acceptable alike to aori-
ty Of both resumptionists and anti.
rs,umptionists. There is an evident
disposition on the part Of one class Of
financial men in Congress 10 concede some
thing, and on the part Of the other class to
secure what it can without risking every
thing in seeking TOO much. Men thus
governed can always make progress in
safe legislation. Only extremists seeking
to DO too much accomplish nothing.

Mr. Mitchell said it was too late to

no responsibility for the sentiments Of

the sentiments Of bis masters?
He considered the Chinese question
an ugly one. Oar Declaration of In.

Government would abrogate the Chinese
treaty. All Europe wants the tea and
silk of China. and these products go

immigration, and in favor of suppress
