Elsewhere we reprint the full returns
of the late election in New Hampshire
as given by the New York UOrld. That
paper also gives the detailed vote by
towns, ofwhich ourextract is recapitu-
lation. The Uiorld vouches for the accu-
racy of the returns. These figures show
that in twelve months the Radical ma
iority in that State has been reduced
more than one half, that the Democrats
have increased their vote 6,623, while
the Radical vote has increased but ], ,SS4.
The result is matter of congratula-
tiou to the New Hampshire Democracy.
With every odds against them,
with patronage, money, power,
and the prestige of success oil
on the side of their enemies, they
have fought a magnificent fight,
and made the victory of their oppo-
nents almost as disastrous as defeat.


The great aim of the Radicals was to
carry the State 10y au increased major
lty, or at least TO hold their own in the
contest. To fail in this was to realize
that upon their new issue of impea CHI
ment, they could not conmand their
own party strength and to find that in
spite of their best efforts, their power
IS daily waning and decaying. They
have failed to achieve the purpose for
which they fought. With every odds
IN their favor and with every energy
rxerted, they have discovered that the
tide of public opinion is setting in a
direction adverse to their hopes, and
that do what they may, their overthrow
Is as certain as it is deserved.


With these facts to encourage them
the Democrats of New Hampshire will
enter the Presidential canvass with re-
newed confidence and ardor. They
will see that the enemy, although des-
perate, is growing weaker every day
while their own strength is daily and
uouriy increasing, and that nothing but
perseverance is needed to secure q fina'
and lasting triumph.

Our correspondent at Atlanta gives a gloomy

of the cOlOred members from the Legislature Is
but the first step in the Rebel plan for gain
ing the control of the State. The next 1t is
said, will be to take from the freedmen the
power to vote-not the right to vote, for of that

of our correspondent, the restoration OF Sla-
very, not perhaps in name. but certainly in
fact We do not think that these fears are un-
founded The Labor Laws of Georgia, passed
in 1866, virtually reduced the negroes to serf-
dom, and unquestiOnably, if there is authority
in Georgia to prohibit colored citizens from
holding offices, the same authority can take
from them the ballot. Frank Blair is the

VIA SAN FRANCISCO, May 8, 1868.


Since writing my last dispatch further
intelligence has been received of the
great volcanic eruption. A vessel has
just arrived from Hawaii, bringing later
accounts of the lava flow and of the
eruption in general. --e


The first stream of lava broke out
from the crater of Mauna Loa, some
twelve miles above the residence of Cap
tain Robert Brown, and flowed directly
towards it. It came down the mountain
side in a broad stream, several feet in
depth, and travelled with such rapidity
that, the family in the house had barely
time to escape, taking away with them
nothing but their clothes. The path
which they took was perfectly free from
lava; but ten minutes after they had
left it and reached point of safety the
entire road was covered with the fiery
stream. ara .-l5. a.r .--.


The lava pushed onwards to the sea,
and drove the water back with such
violence that it became agitated and
convulsed, and huge waves rolled to-
wards the ocean as if lashed to fury by
storm. The ground thus occupied is
now mass of lava, forming point for
at least one mile in length and as the
stream continues to descend the rroba,
ability is that it will remain stationary
and form portion of the island.


The most terrible shock of earthquake,
which took place on April 2, burst open
the earth at the village of Waischina,
and a tidal wave rushed inwards with
fearful effect. 1t was over fifty feet in
height, and swept over the tops of the
high cocoanut trees, carrying death and
destruction to persons and property.
Throughout the island this shock was
felt with fearful effect. Buildings of all
kinds wore torn from their foundations
and hurled great distances. and many
persons and animals lost their lives.


The scene at the craters was appalling.
Huge rocks were hurled from their
mouths accompanied by streams of
lava, hot and red, which attained an al
titude of one thousand feet. When it
