house had good roof smashed in By the hail.
The print OF haiistones could be seen on the

The severe cold of Sunday night aud Mon
day is reported to have done great damage tC
the peach crops IN Delaware and Maryland
Ii is at present thought that the crop, in con.
sequence, will be very small, bat the extent
of the damage cannot be accurately known
for some days. in the Ohio Valley and tn,
Lower Lake region, /, was at first feared that
the fruits had been utterly destroyed, but tn,
prospect now Is, at least in the Ohio Valley
that some of the crop will be saved.

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION
Certain Republican journals, thankful for
the smallest favors, are exulting over the
result of the late New Hampshire election.
How much cause they have for exultatiou,
viii be seen by the following statement:
New Hampshire gives Prescott, Republi-
can, 941 majority for Governor this year and
LIZA plurality. Last year he had 4, O34 plu-
rality and 1857 majority. The total vote
varies less than one hundred from the vote
of last year. The Democrats gain in the
Legislature, but both branches remain Re.
publican by decided majoriiies. 1t seems to
be generally conceded that the present Legis-
lature Eill not have the choice of United
States Senator, as under the amended consti-
tuition another State and legislative election
will take place in November, and thereafter
there will be only biennial Gubernatorial cleo
tiOns.

The Baltimore Ereaiag Bulletin, Of
Tuesday, says prof Tonry's charges
against the School Board have been com
pletely disproved, and We hope there is an
end of accusations so loosely preferred and
SO feebly bottomed. They are injurious
to the schools and discreditable to their
author" The scandalous charges Of Prof
Tonry ought to have brought him intO
court, unless they were not specific enough
for the basis of an action.

Mr.. Blair and the Prasidanor.

If there be any probability of practical
good resulting from the proposed joint res
olution Of Hon. Montgomery Blair recently
introduced into the Legislature Of this
State, we see no valid objection to it.
The movement is tardy one, but that,
perhaps, could not be helped, as the scheme
Of a memorial first occupied the attention
of its author, and was pending through the
earlier stages Of the session. The method
Of proceeding which Mr. Blair now pro-
poses, may be practicable or it may not
That does not so much affect the question
as the Importance Of doing something to
attest the dissatisfaction and sense Of
wrong and injury in the public mind on
the subject of the fraudulent occupation
of the Presidency. We have no sympathy
with those who hold that the question
ought to be permitted to rest A foul
wrong has been perpetrated, and to let it
rest is fragrant dereliction towards the fu-
ture peace, order and well-being of the
country. The offence is the grayest one
ever perpetrated in this country, and the
authors, aiders, abettors and bene6ciaries
Of it, ought all to be punished, that their
fate may be held up as warning to others
who may dare to interfere with q fair ex-
preston of the popular will by ballot
DIR. Blair is an able lawyer and may be
supposed to entertain clear conceptions of
the feasibility Of his plans If he shall
succeed in discovering a clue which will
lead to fair and peaceful solution of the
question Of the Presidential title by legal
process, he viii deserve the thanks of all
men who place patriotism above party, or
who value the harmony and integrity of
our institutions more than the interests of
faction or the behests Of place men. The
country feels an abiding sense Of wrong
under the present status of the Presidency,
and there can be no relief from that feel
ing until the wrong is righted, either by
legislation or the recurrence of the ballot.

The Execution Of Chambers and Collins.

The morbid sentimentalists who rushed
down to Gov Cochran, last week, to in
dnce him to pardon the two negro men
condemned to be hung at New Castle,
Del. on Friday of last week, for felon-
ious assault upon a white woman, did not
succeed in cffecting their purpose. Gov
Cochran was infexible, and had such evil
dence Of theirs guilt as few other persons had.
The assault took place on Gov. Cochran's
farm, and he had taken the pains to in :
vestigate the ease thoroughly, and was
perfectly satisfied Of their guilt. He could
not, therefore, consistent with the law
and the facts, do anything but let the law
take its course. The n. Y. Herald, of
Tuesday, says:
The execution of the two colored men,
Chambers and Collins, in Delaware last week
has attracted good deal of attention, owing
to the fact that a strong presumption of their
innocence existed in the minds of q large
number of people in the State, and that the
Governor, in declining to respite them, was
influenced by motives or prejudices which it
did not become him TO entertain. We print
on another page, in the form of an interview
with one OF our correspondents, what the
Governor has to say on the whole subject
In the first place he explains that, under the
laws of Delaware, there is practically no such
thing as respite. No middle course is allow
ed the Executive of the State under such cir
eumstances; il must be either q full pardon or
the execution of the sentence. Again, new
| trial for these unfortunate men was prohibit
ted by the statutes; so that to have respited
them would have been simply an uneondi-
tional pardon. They we're sentenced by the
court to death on a certain day, and if not
executed then they could not be executed at
ALL The confession of the woman upon
whose testimony the victims were convicted,
thai she had perjured herself, he considers of
no value, for the reason that he has in his
own possession eyidenee which convinces him
that the men we're guilty. What that evi-
dence is, however, he declines to make public,
| although he declares he communicated il TO
1 gentlemen who had interested themselves in
/ behalf of the condemned men. As the crime
was perpetrstS5 on the Governors own
grounds it is very esrisjn that its minntesi
particulars are known 10 him and that be is
in far better position 10 judge the guilt 81
innocence of the deceased negroes than the
Sentimentalists who are making such row
| ahcnt them.

the case in point may be presented as follows:
The United States sued Mr. 1'ilden for bal
ance claimed to be due under the Income Tax
law. Mr.. Tilden set up in his answer that lie
had been assessed under the income tax and
had paid the assessment. The United States
replied thai, even admitting this, they had
still the right to sue for a further sum that
they claimed should have, been. paid. Mr.;
the point of law was argued before Judge
