THE CAMPAIGN IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
. GENERAL GRANT BEFORE THE
- PEOPLE.
From the A. 1'. Jlerald.
The political campaign this year in New
UampHbire (which on the 8th of March ter
minates in the annual State election) is be
coming remarkably interesting. Though the
voters of that State are nearly eqnally divided
between the Republicans and the Democrats,
the former, in every deliberate trial of
. strength, have carried everything before
them. In the spring of 1 808 the Democrats
moved heaven and earth and the waters
under the earth in the New Hampshire con
test in order to secure the first gan of the
Presidential campaign against General Grant;
but they signally failed, and their failure was
generally accepted as foreshadowing the eleo
tion of Grant in November. So now both
parties regard the result of the opening elec
tion in New Hampshire, though purely local,
as something that will probably foreshadow
the general drift of this year's elections,
which ore to determine in the House of
Representatives, at least the dominant party
in the next Congress.
In a square fight between the Republicans
and Democrats in New Hampshire there
would be little interest, because the result
would be aooepted on all sides as a foregone
conclusion. But with the introduction of the
disturbing forces of the temperance party and
the labor reform party, each with a State
ticket of its own, the success of the Republi
cans is considered doubtful. The temperance
Eorty in the granite hills is a very feeble one
orse concern; but the labor reform party,
though a new thing, is, they say, a dangerous
organization, and claims already the balanoe
of power. Both these side parties, the Re
publicans contend, are mere bushwhackers
employed by the Democrats to break the Re
publican line; and the Democrats themselves
aooept these temperanoe and labor reformers
as desirable allies who may turn the tide of
the battle. A Copperhead organ says: "It
is evident that the recruits for these new fac
tions must come from the Republican ranks,"
because "Democrats are well enough satis
fied with their own party, and do not require
to look for morality and sympathy for labor
outside of it."
Hence there is some alarm in the Republi
can camp, because if this labor reform party
shall suoceed in gaining the balance of power
in this New Hampshire election it will proba
bly be felt as a balance of power in the elec
tions of this year in all the Northern States.
This is, perhaps, the reason why General
Grant (who is particularly proud of New
Hampshire) has so promptly up there thrown
the weight of his administration into the Re
publican scale. It is a curious fact that Mr.
Dawes, of Massachusetts, whose roent speech
in Congress on the extravagance of Grant's
administration so delighted the Democracy,
should be the very man accepted by the Pre
sident to set him right before the people of
the Granite State. But so it is, and with the
initial campaign speech of Mr. Dawes at
Naahna three important facts are proclaimed
or made apparent. First, that General Grant
is the head of the Republican party; second,
that in this position he is a candidate for a
second term; and third, that in this New
Hampshire campaign Mr. Dawes speaks by
direct authority of the President, in behalf of
his administration, as the offloial embodiment
of his party.
Mr. Dawes in his speech at Nashna (Satur
day evening last) said: "I was charged yes
terday afternoon by the President himself
with this message to the people of New
Hampshire, when I told him that I was
coming here. He told me to assure the
people of New Hampshire that this exhibit I
Lave made here of the successful collection
and the economical expenditure of money
during the present year is an earnest and a
pledge of what it shall be in the year to oome,
Tell the people of New Hampshire that
. during my administration there snail be no
asoenaing scale of publio expenditures; but
that whenever and wherever the closest publio
sorutiny shall disclose the possibility of cut
ting off a dollar, it shall be done.'.' Of
coarse these authoritative declarations
brought down the house in repeated out
bursta of enthusiasm, as likewise did the
announcements that "General Grant is the
head of the Republican party," and, "thank
God, he can criticise it; that "a party that
can probe and nnoover its sores (those cadet
ships) can crow strong and healthy by self-
probing." Nor was the cheerful spirit of the
meeting abated with the question, "Did yon
eves find the Democratic party in pursuit of
any corruption within its own ranks except to
' fatten on it ?" And Mr. Dawes made a hit
each time in his remarks that "the Demo
cratic party is the same that it was twenty
years ago, that "it seems to take no note of
passing events," that "it is still haunted by
the negro," and that it has no new claim
' npon the confidence of the people. He for
got, however, to say that this party, up or
down, hit or miss, is always ready for battle.
To sum up: General Grant, as the head
and front of the Republican party, has put
the claims of bis administration before the
people of New Hampshire. Upon this issue,
in a fair contest with the Demooraoy, the
result would not be doubtful; but this new
organization called the Labor Reform party
., (to say nothing of the Temperance party)
may prove a very important side issue diver
sion. If so in New Hampshire, we may look
for tdmifer results in . other States, and any
extensive derangement of Republican calou
lations faun such causes in this year's elec
tions will b apt to upset all the calculations
of party leaders and managers, as they now
stand, lor tne Presidential succession. Muon.
incidentally, is th importance of the present
political contest in Kaw Hampshire.
THE DEMOCRATIC REFORMERS WILL
THEY CONQUER?
From the If. Y. Smn.
It is the misfortune of the Republican
, party, at this critical stage of lUj career, that
it has at the head of the odmiuistration a
man without a Republican record v inspire
confidence in the honest musses of th party,
and utterly destitute of that political exneri-
ance and those statesmanlike qualities wbioh
wonld oommond the respect of its ambitions
tenders. Hence, in the severe trials through
whiuh the party must Boon pass, neither its
chieftains nor its rank and file will pay the
slightest regard to the opinions or the aspira-
. tions of General Grant, and the inevitable
: result must be that, while he will not have
sufficient power to keep the party together,
be will exhibit lust enough to rend Jit
, asunder.
But it does not necessarily follow that
those who leave the Republican ranks will
Join the Democratic party. Distinguished
tepublicans hawe from time to time within
the last six years cone over to the Demo
crats such men as Senators Cowan, Nor
thar
took I
scarcely a bodyguard with
them; and why ? I
Evidently because they left the Republicans
rather from porsonal motives than to pro
mote cardinal principles; because they de
serted their colors before the great campaign
in whioh they had enlisted was finished;
and because the Demooratia party did not
hold out very strong induoemonts for active
ltermblicans to loin it. Some of its most
worthy and high-minded leaders were timid,
and dared not utter their patriotio thoughts;
some of its most conspicuous champions had
no words of denunciation for armed traitors,
but bristled all over with sharp criticisms of
the means nsed to orush the Rebolllon; and
too many of its most influential managers
were notorious oorrnptionists, who, in league
with rotten Republicans, were growing rioh
by prostituting Democratic victories to the
promotion of schemes of plunder; while
some of its weightiest advisers were mere
fossils of the old Federal epoch, as muoh out
of place in a progressive party as would be
the Cardiff giant in the Wall Street Stock
Exchange.
The Republican party may go to pieoes,
and is certain, now that its mission is com-
Eleted, to lose a large body of its ablest and
est members, especially its aspiring young
men, npon whose limbs party shackles hang
loosely, and its doctrinaires, who are genuine
Democrats of the advanced school. But if
the Democratic party hopes to attract such
Republicans to its ranks, it must institute a
thorough reform in the measures it is to pro
mote, and the men who are to manage its
affairs.
The conflicts of the post fifteen years have
made this class of Republicans not only
courageous, but eminently praotical. They
know when to begin, and they know where to
stop. Satisfied that the cause in whica they
enlisted in 1855 has triumphed, they will not
re-enlist for the purpose of fighting the
ground over again with blank cartridges; and
they certainly will not join the Democratic
party for the sake of wailing over the battles
it 1 1 . . . I 1 . J A ' -
id lias lost. Accusiomeu to uu uieir uwu
thinking, to utter their convictions freely,
and to carry them to logical conclusions
without fear, they do not cower before
sonorous names, though chiselled on monu
mental brass, nor do they believe that the
march of constitutional improvement must
stop at the graves of the departed authors of
the Federalist.
Very likely the present leaders of the
Democracy in New York and the two or three
adjoining States may not covet an alliance
with the disintegrating elements of the Re
publican party. True; they might infuse into
it some fresh blood, give it several new ideas,
and teach it how to gain national victories a
novelty which the Democracy have not en
joyed since Buchanan, with the aid of Fill
more, succeeded in beating r remont by a
minority of the people. But very possibly
some of the fossilized Democratic chiefs in
the States we have named think that
Republicans have been trained in a bad
school, the school of rapid progress, radi
cal reform, great civil convulsions, and
severe strains upon the Constitution,
Iheir reactionary leaders have been wont
to regard Lincoln as a usurper, who
crushed the Rebellion by violating the Con
stitution; and Seward as a tyrant, who
haled men to prison at the stroke of his little
bell; and Stanton as the embodiment of all
that is crafty in politics and cruel in adminis
tration, who, as War Minister, wielded vast
armies to oppress the ruling classes of the
South, caught, in a moment of hallucination,
with treasonable arms in their hands. These
discomfited theorists may think, too, that
men who have acted prominent parts in an
organization crowned with many victories,
may not take kindly to inferior rotes in a
party prostrated by a long series of defeats.
Well, tor the argument s saKe, let ns aamit
all this; and then it perhaps may logically
follow that Republicans, trained in suoh a
bold, vigorous, progressive school, and who
have borne conspicuous ports in the colossal
events of the past fifteen years, solving some
of the most dunonlt problems whioh have
agitated the political world since the era of
Cromwell, and waging one of the greatest
wars and winning one of the grandest tn
nmphs in history we say it may well be that
such men, though they may leave the Repub
lican party, will not be attracted to the JJe
mocracy. Certainly they will not if it is bent
npon fighting the reconstruction controver
sies over again, allows its policy in Congress
to be dictated by garrulous fools like Davis
and Saulsbnry, and in the foremost city and
btate of the Union prefers to be ruled by a
knot of shysters and strikers, who are dis
tinguished for nothing except skill in stuf
fing ballot-boxes with fraudulent votes,
and filling their pockets by plundering the
people.
1 the .Democrats embrace this auspicious
hour to reform their party and bring in allies
who will more than make np for the expurga
tion of reactionary and venal members, they
will save the country from a repetition of the
political distrao tions that marked the Monroe
epoch, when four candidates ran for the Pre
sidency. Let the reform Democrats perse
vere, and they will surely resoue the name of
Democracy from being the synonyme of
defeat, or, whenever victorious in its strong
hold, from being a mere cover for fraud and
corruption. At the same time they will save
the country from- being distracted by the
wrangles of three or fonr, or it may be half a
dozen, sectional parties or personal factions,
THE niSTORY OF BLACK FRIDAY.
From the If. Y. Times.
The story of the combination which at
tempted tp force gold to 100 premium lost
September cannot be told in a brief space.
The Congressional committee winch was ap
pointed to inquire into the ciroumhtanues
took evidence enough to hit more than one
entire copy of this journal. We have endea
vored to lay all the substantive facts before
our readers without an unreasonable demand
npon their time and patienoe; and the report
of the committee itself will complete the his
tory of a transaction destined to be long re
membered in commercial annals.
What is the general conclusion to be drawn
from the narrative we are enabled to present
to-day ? That, happily, may be stated within
a very small compass. In the first plaoe, it is
quite clear that there never was the smallest
excuse for the shameful slanders circulated
by an unprincipled clique upon President
Grant. It is impossible to forget what was
said iust after the panic In certain quarters
the President was openly accused of having
taken an active part in the gold speculations.
A letter was forged in the name of his wife,
ana puDiished as proof or tne presidents
complicity in the plot. We denounced it as
a forgery at the time, bnt the professional
concoctors of soandols ' are not afraid
bf the truth they instantly - flew i to
their "dirty work again." i The Presi
dents real offense the cause which
prompted these attaoks was twofold: he had
always tried to do his duty to his oonntry
faithfully, and be had refused offices to cer
tain persons whom he deemed unworthy to
hold them. Therefore his character was ma-
ton. Doolittle, and Dixon but
ligned.
and even his wife was not permitted
to go unsoathed.
What home, indeed, what
mans character, what woman s, is sate in
thene days? The lioense of Journalism is not
always bonnded by considerations oi justice
or propriety; it spares nobody, "young or oldJ
and is even made the foundation oi a sort of
terrorism, which honest men ought either to)
resist or treat with contempt. Tho President
adopted the latter course, lie lot me caiunu
niators go on unreproved so far al
he was concerned. The investigation just
concluded was made solely on publio gronndf
not in defense of the President. InoidenU
ally, however, it does exonerate him, and lot
ns add, since the subject has been so mnoa.
discussed, it was proved that Mrs. Grant
never wrote any such lettr as that whioh was
attributed to her. It must be painful to her
assailants to see the prey they had marke
down rescued from their clutches. But they
will soon find another victim, and it costs
them nothing to produoe a fresh series of
fabrications.
Who, then, were the real authors of a panio
which sent gold to a higher point than it it
ever likely to reach again ? Where the sug
gestion first came from is still open to ques
tion. This we know General Butterfleld
speculated in gold; so did Mr. Corbin. Both
tried to get information which would be use
ful to them in their operations. As for Mr,
Corbin, he appears to be too much broken
down to tell us very much about the affair,
ne is weak, old, nervous, and unhappy such,
at least, is his own account of himself. He
does not seem to have been the sort of man
at any time to have had much influenoe on
the President, who is cost in a totally different
mould. Sido by sido with Mr. Corbin two
other figures take up a prominent position in
the foreground. We should be glad to avoid
mentioning their names, especially as one of
them, at least, is of a peculiarly dillldent dis
position. We are compelled, however, to re
cord that the famous Mr. James risk, Jr.,
and Mr. Jay Gould had a good deal to do
with the events of the 24 th of September.
Mr. I isk s genial version of the affair we
published on a former occasion. He is a
comic historian, and seems even to have
found time to cultivate the Muses at some
period or other of his life. Mr. Gould, on
the other hand, seems to be of a refleotive
turn, and is, apparently, a man who takes
his very pleasures sadly. We get a vivid in
sight into the characters of both men in an
account given by Mr. Corbin of the events
which happened immediately after the panio,
Some of our readers will remember that on
Friday night the great question was, "Where
is 1 isk i People hunted for him high and
low, and some vowed that their intentions
towards him were not of the most friendly
description. The supplementary Stock Ex
change in Fifth avenue was crowded with
excited persons who longed to see Mr. Firik
in the flesh. But he was in one of his
modest fits at that moment. Perhaps he had
gone, to use his own poetical metaphor,
"where the woodbine twineth. , He had
been seen to leave "the street" in congenial
society. After that he vanished into spaoe.
Air. Corbin now lifts the veil from the mys
tery. It seems that on that memorable even
ing three was a stormy meeting. H iBK sried
out for vengeance on Butterheld, and then
threatened poor nervous Mr. Corbin until
the latter actually promised to ge to Wash
in a ton and see what he could do with the
President. The unfortunate dupe came back
as he went a dupe with dupes; for there
can be little doubt that Fisk really believed
that Corbin possessed strong power with the
Government. In this instance his sagaoity
was at fault, and he will be ashamed of that
exposure. Some other points in his character
he can bear to hoar criticized; but for any
one to say that he is not "smart, is to
wound him in his tenderest feelings. Yet
what are we to think of a man whom even
Mr. Corbin was able to impose npon ?
Mr. Gould is not gifted with the fortitude
of his associate. Some one asked after him
on the night of the panio. "He sunk right
down," said Fisk; "there is nothing left of
him but a heap of clothes and a pair of
eyes. The crisis was, in truth, rather alarm
lug, and Mr. Fisk himself might have been
pardoned if he had broken down under it.
But there he stood, dancing and fiddling
amid the ruins. Mr. Gould told the commit
tee that he was astounded when gold went up
rapidly. He also said: "X have never kept a
book in my lite. we need not commend
this practice to the notice of commercial
firms in general. Mr. Gould did, however.
see the President once or twice, and tried to
get information from him which would pay
better than keeping books. Mr. Corbin seems
to have helped him in this design like the
lady s maid- in the novels who admits the
aspiring lover by the back door. Mr. Gould's
memory, like Mr. Corbin's, is none of the
best, and consequently he tells us very little.
and takes np a great deal of spaoe to tell that
little in.
The whole story conies to this: Mr. Bout-
well undoubtedly acted, as he believed, in
the interests of the public. Messrs. Fisk and
(ionld thought they were going to make a
foitune by sending up the price of gold, and
they believed that Mr. Corbin would further
thbir schemes. I hey also tried to get Ueneral
Butterfleld on their 6ide, an it must be
owned that he does not come out of the affair
with perfectly clean hands. Fisk and his as
sociates did not find the plot work well, bnt
Mr. Gould modestly declined to say bow muoh
they made out of it on the whole. Finally,
the PreBident, and one or two others who
were scandalously traduced at the time, are
shown to have aoted throughout with the
hiuhest integrity. The report of the oommit-
tee will probably bring that faot out very

RESULTS TnUS FAR.
From the N. T. World.
Last fall, under the lead of Samuel J. Til-
den, the cheese-press and bay-mow Domoo-
racy in our btate Convention routed the
Tammany ring, rejected their candidates for
State olhcers. nominated candidates oi ineir
own whose capacity and integrity were oon-
ppicuous and unimpeachable, and by the peo
ple they were put in office.
That is result No. 1. In the ring's first
uttempt to stretch its domination from the
party in the city to the party in the State it
-was defeated,
' In the same election the Demooraoy sent a
majority of aeuatois and a majority of As
semblymen to the Legislature, pledged to
reHtwre to New York her right of self-government.
This was contrary to the wishes as
well as the expectations of the ring, whioh
founded its best hopes of a oontinuanoe of
ring and radical power and plunder, in ,' the
city upon a divided Legislature, which should
make it impossible for the democracy to mini
their pledge. ' '
That was result No. 2. A Legislature, Demo
cihtio in both branches, pledged to restore
self-government in New York city.
This victory was the death-knell to the ring
and radical combination whioh has kept New
York city under the control of the worst
men in the Democratic party, and the Btate
Tinder the control of the worst men in the
Republican party. The ring plotted to be
the sole heirs of the moribund ring anil
radical dynasty. They prepored a city charter
and an election 1 law. F rear's charter pnr
ported, indeed, to transfer all municipal
powers to the hands of th people of this
city. But Hitchman's eloctiou law, giving to
the supervisors the appointment of half the
inspectors and canvassers, was a contrivance
to make sure of the ring's succession, before
ever tne people could grasp and reassign
their recovered rights and powers: while
Frear's oharter was so cunningly framed as
to assure the continuance of the ring in that
usurpation. The plot was well oontrived.
It bears every ear-mark of the master-brain
of the ring. The World then deolared war
npon the ring, exposed this plot and do-
feat ed it.
That is result No. 3. Frear's charter is dead.
Hitchman's election law is dead. No human
being will attempt to revive them. The ring
will not sucoeed to the assets and the powers
of the ring and radical combination. The
Democrats of the Legislature, in transferring
to New York city her right and title to self
government, will not lodge the title-deeds in
the hands of the ring, though it still remains
to devise and period tho legislation by which
the city shall deliver to new officers all these
its new powers.
The ring s control of the administration of
justice is one of the greatest of its wrongs
inflicted npon the people. Despite the most
strenuous efforts of the ring, the New York
anti-ring Senators have carried through the
Legislature an aot reorganizing tho Court of
Special Sessions.
1 hat is result No. 4. The ring no longer
perverts the administration of criminal jus
tice to its sordid and selfish purposes.
This week we look to see passed the bill
presented last week by Senator Norton, re
garding the city and county governments,
which deprives the ring and all future rings
of power to duplicate offioes and officers, sala
ries and expenditures, jobs, appropriations,
and swindles of high and low degree.
This week, also, we hope to see perfected
and passed the bill committing to the people
the election or the inspectors and canvassers
of election. That will be a fatal blow to the
ring, and we believe there is no doubt that it
will be administered.
DEATH ON THE RAIL.
From the Hi Y. Tribune.
The recklessness with which American rail
roads are managed has been again proven at
a frightful cost of human life. The disaster
near Oxford, Mississippi, seems to have been
due in an unusual degree to that criminal ab
sence of ordinary precaution which has sent
so many travellers to untimely graves. This
train, being behind time, dashed at a hieh
rate of speed npon "Buckners Trestle,' a
structure spanning a ravine 40 feet in depth,
The calamity, we are told, was caused by the
'unsound condition of the trestle timbers,
which permitted the rail to slip out of place
and thus switch off the oars," which crushed
through the frail framework into the abyss
oeiew. Twenty-one human beings killed out
right, and scores of others mangled and
maimed, were the result of the atrocious
carelessness that permitted a heavy train to
rush at full speed upon a trestle that must
have been known to be rotten and unsafe.
We have had a surfeit of these horrors, and
it is time Congress mado them i npossible by a
strict supervision ot railroad construction
and management. Trestles are the make
shifts of an economy that leads to murder,
and the companies should be made to replace
them with iron bridges or stone arches,
Tracks are left open to the intrusion of
vagrant animals; trains rush at hazardous
speed along the edge of a preoipioe where
there is not even so much as a peoble to save
passengers from a horrible death should the
oars be thrown from the roil on acoount of
the flimsy character of the road-bed.
The law should require these dangerous
places to be protected by substantial walls,
and compel tracks to be properly ballasted,
A faulty rail or a decayed cross-tie is liable at
any moment to lead to death. The supervi
sion of authority must go further than the
construction of roads to be entirely effective.
The foolnardiness of our railroad manage
ment is notorious, and was never more sig
nally shown than in this Oxford disaster,
Had the engineer decreased his speed, it is
probable the train would have passed over
the trestle safely. Experience shows that
railroad companies cannot make or enforce
rules necessary to our safety, and demands
that the law lay down some obvious general
rules to make travel by rail less deadly.
Safety in railroad transit is not that unat
tain able thing the American people have been
led to believe, but can be seoured by a sulii
cient use of money and sense. Congress has
greatly decreased the perils of travel on water
by the rigid steamboat law, and is equally
competent to do the country the same ser
vice in regard to transit by land. The statu
tory provisions in some of the States have
greatly diminished the risks of travelling, bnt
it is in the power of Congress to make
general law, so that we may not pass oat of
one State to be mangled in another. Let this
be done and we shall have to reoord very few
of those occurrences which, by a singular
misapprehension of the meaning of words, are
called "railroad accidents.
