It is idle to attempt to conceal these I latent truths, and we record them because they are so plain that even lhe wayfaring Democracy shoul J not err respecting them. Or the second Tuesday in March, the 14th New Hampshire holds her .State election, and tbe eyes of the politicians are turning toward it with much interest. At the election of last year Mr. Cheney, Republican candidate for Gevernor, had a plural ity cfl"2 votes. In consequence of '.-2 votes being cast for the Temper ance candidate there was no consti tutional choice, and the election de veloped upon the Legislature. That body had a Republican majority of 7 on jokit ballot, and consequently elected Mr. Cheney as Governor. The closeness of the elections will thus be seen. The Democrats hope for a like failure in the popular elec tion this jear, and to tlwt end are stirring up the temperance people, and making a desperate effort to se cure a majority in the Legislature. Their hopes, we fancy, are deomed to disappointment With a Presiden tial election faciug them in the fall, the Republican party w ill be out in full force: end there never was a question, we Wlieve, that on a full honest vote, New Hampshire is a ftrongly Republicrn State. A class t.i papers iu the country, mainly of the Independent and Con servative Democratic persuasion, are constantly insisting that anybody who, in this Centennial year, does not entirely ignore the past, alose his eves to daily recurring facts in the South, and devote himself exclusive ly to rejoicing over a restored Union, and the present bappy condition of ;he country, socially and morally, is un apostle ol Date, a surer up of strife, a shaker of the bloody shirt, n horrid, nasty, unforgiving, unpatri otic radical, and they quote the hon ied speeches of Lamar, of Miss., and the published desire of the Democ racy of Georgia for fraternal relations with the black man, and thus hope to quiet discussion and padlock tho lips of those in the Northern States, who do not and cannot disregard the ghastly outrages perpetrated upon Southern opponents of the Democrat ic party. We do not now propose to speak of the policy adopted by South ern Democrat, and openly avowed, of seizing all power, and depriving the colored people of their civil and political rights. We .are co&itpj for the present w how by'Vn t-xitct rrom a letter written iron. m. olina by John Rnd 1 oanp, and printed in tbe Xew York ll-rahl of Wedncsdav last, that the underlying fnmrr.tal doctrine in the South i fundamental doctrine w 1 that vl race, anu mm m J a a. in I t !

In ncrly every case, with scarcely an ex ception, the whites have drawn the line. iust as Jefferson Davis drew it when he embarked upon the Confederacy. They alone have a ri:hl here. Whoever opposes them is a "scalawag,' a "carpet batger" or a "iiijriicr." A "toilawacr" is a Nuth- jern born man wlio vote with the Repub licans; a carpel-bagger it he conies lrom the North, no matter how he votes. This line is drawn wiihseverity and w ith scarce ly an exception.

"They do business with me, meet me in public places, and show me all re &pect, but never open the latch key." A revereud and highly esteemed prelate ot the Methodist church in the North came here to attend a gathering ot African churches. He as in an otlicial jiosition, for these churches were under the control of his denomination. He remained here several davs, presiding over the gathering. He was known to be an honored prelate, whose iife waS given solely to his religious duties. 1 le told me that during his slay in Soutn Carolina he had col received a sin l..D 1;. inlknCt.tnBri.rtlnw o rrl liril.lc gle attention from ir.s Nm'.liern lcllow Melhodis's. The clergy had not noticed his presence nor asked him into meir pin pits. He saw onlv fellow C hristiues who came from lhe North or negroes. lean nn imagine how the line can be more closely drawn, und I now speak of what happened only a lew days since. The result of drawing this color line is potent. The negro cannot be induced to vote the Democratic tick et The white man who does not is socially ostracised, and dare not ex press his opinions in peace and safety. The object is to consolidate the South in the interests of the Democratic party, and when they obtain power, by the assistance of their obsequious Northern allies, to rcconstt net the Southern States upon a w hite Demo cratic basis, aud crush out the Re publican party by makinjr it impossi ble for men ol that party to express their opinions in safety. This is the programme, carefully arranged, end for which Northern journals are zealously laboring, by denouncing nad ridiculing all who express opposition to it ns "shaking the bloody shirt " Alarmed by tbe awakened indig nation throughout- the North, caused by Den. Hill's speech, Jiff. Davis' letter, and other outcroppiugs of the bitter but hitherto concealed treason still Fniouidcriiig in the South, tbe Democracy lately dispatched Sena tor Gordon on a mission to their Southern brethren to urge them to keep quiet, otherwise all hopes of success at the coming Presidential election might ns well be abandoned. The senatorial enimissary addressed the assembled Legislature of Georg-ia-last week, evidently with some ef fect, as the following resolution short ly afterwards passed by that body shows: J!'oJr, J, As the sense of this (Jencral Assemble, that equal politicsl rights ol all citizens of this State, regardless ot race or previous condition, arc tiermanenllv fixed and secured by the Constitution of the United Stales, which is recognized bv this body as tbe supreme law of the laud, and that no abridgement or interference with these rights is proposed or contemplated or desired in anv action ol the IJeneral As sembly, or by the people whom we repre sent Thi9 is very pretty; but does it not sound a little etrausre bv the side of Toombs' utterances a few days ago in the same place and to theso same legislators themselves? Said he: "The poor, ignorant negro talk of him governing you and me! It takes the higher order of intellect to govern tbe people, and these pocr wretches talk of governing ns! My remedy helped us to break that up. We car ried them with us by bribery and in timidation. I advised it, and paid my money for it. Applause.Ycu all know it, but wont't say it. We got a good many hencst 'ellows into tbe first Legisla ture, but I will tell you how we got them there. I will tell you the truth. Tbe newspapers won't tell it to you. We got them there by carrying the black vote by intimidation and brib ery laughter, and 1 helped to do it Applause. There is a little question of veraci ty here whicn ought to be settled. The bill making it the duty of pa rents to send children to rchool be tween the ages of eight and fourteen years, twelve weeks of each year, and to have them instructed at borne tbe same length of time, was affirmative ly reported by the "house committee" of the Pennsylvania Legslature on Friday. There can be no objection to a measure of this kind. One clause in tbe bill makes it optional with the respective school boards, whether the law shall be adopted in the district under their control. Gen. Sueuman has written a let ter in reply to queries put to him in which he frankly states that he is not now, never has been, and never will be, a candidate for the Presidency be fore any convention. lie also says that though his wife is a Catholic, be is not, aud while he is anxious for tho preservation of tbe public schools, be thinks there is too much extrav agance in the building of school bouses, making the support of the school system a harden upon the peo ple. Carl Scui bz says in his last let ter to his paper: "A spectacle of helplessness more melancholy than the Democratic majority in tho IIou?e of Representa tives now offers can scarcely be found in the history of parties.

Up the step3 and into the hall ; the lady stands near the mantle. She turns, flashes a look as bright as her diamonds, Jves you her gloved baud fol a second, aud then unless you are somebody she is politic enough to cultivate, you are left entirely to your own devices. That's very well if you happen to know anv oue present ! if you d u't it's extremely aukward, but Madame has doue her dutv, veu are quite ut liberty to look at her as much as you plea.-e, aud she docs make a picture, for Mrs. liubeson is a strikingly handsome woman, her figuro is su perb, her dress faultless, aud the mass pa of her silver hair over her still youthful face are a crown extremely becoming. A'ery different is the welcome you meet at Mrs. Uristow's.

Mrs. Uristow's picture is not easily given; sho is tall and slight, her toilettes are alwaysrich.but her whole charm lies in the expression of her mouth and eyes, such great ft brown eyes looking straight into your own with an earnest questioning glance, while round the mouth there is al ways a smile so winning that were 1 a man 1 should envy the secreta'y his right to bask in such radiance. This isn't gushing; I know Mrs Uris tow and I love btr. Our next call was upon the wife of the Secretary of war, Mrs. Uelknap.

Her wonderful memory retains every name and every face, a dignified stateliness marks her manner, but Cud ever so slight a reason for get ting over that first formality, and tc- Lold the truest womanly heart that ever beat; so trno that when Mrs. Fish thall utter any sentence you may know she means it.

Mr. Pierrcpont the new Attorney General lives in the house built by Gen. Meigs. Its construction is pecu liar, but never mind the house fur tbe hostess is well worth all your atten tion. It is easy to see what her life long associations ronst have been; the high-bred face with its delicate features, the graceful manner, and low sweet voice, all mark tbe lady, born to that name.

Although there isan inconsistency in tne ciisiitig divorce laws w hich the passage of this bill might remedy, a suspicion afloat that is intended to meet a special case mny be suffi cient to prevent the bill from becom ing a law. The bill relative to the ventilation uf bituminous coul mines to better se cure the heultb aud safety of miners was also discussed at length in tbe House (iu Tbursdty. It embodies tnauy salutary priviHiuns for ventila tion drainage, modes of egress aud ingress from and to the mines. That there shall be two openings to every mine independent of tbe entrauce shaft. It prohibits the employment of any boy in the mines uuder twelve years of oge, or any miner betweeu 12 or 1G who cannot read or write, aud enacting peualties for any one interfering with or injuring the ven tilation or machinery. The measure will most likely become a law, inas much as it is known to be iu substance the recommendation of the coal com mission appointed in 1874. Yesterday a lively political tilt took place ia tho House upon the introduction by Mr. Stewart of Law rence of a resolution that no bills be introduced after the 3d of March. The Republicans favored the resolu tion w hilst the Democrats opposed it. The fighting grew fast aud furious, becoming personal iu the extreme aud consumed be eutire session. Tbe supporters of tbe resolution charged that tMe majority desired tc protract the session for the purpose of receiv ing additional pay, whilst the oppo nents claimed that efforts were being made to effect an adjournment that certain impurtant bills oo lhe calen dars might not be reached. The res olution was finally defeated by a neatly partisan vote, tho Keptibli c -ns voting for and the Democrats against the resolution. This action was followed' by the adoption of a resolution to hold afternoon sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, emanating from a Demo cratic source. On Thursday evening the pupils of the institution for the blind at Philadelphia gave an entertainment of a musical and literary character in the Opera Houe before tbe members of the Legislature and Heads of de- partments-Sie attendance was large and the performance highly spoken of.

Then, as they with drew, they took sway with them the corn, tbe lighter furniture, and all the portable property of the Christian inhabitants. "In tbe village of Cazanka, the ru ral guard, with two policemen and other Turks, arrested fifteen Bulga rians, shut them up in a but, and put ting knives to their throat--, extorted 4f Turkish lire (the lire is equal to 18s. 2d.)
