The Democrats have uot been much iu power of late years, nor have their perform ances when they have come temporarily into aseeutlency anywhere been such as to inspire confidence in their -qualifications for conduct ing the government. In New York, in Indi ana, iu California and in Connectieat their conduct has been bad enough to condemn them to perpetual obscurity; but it was left to the New Hampshire Democrats to demon strate the possibilities in the way of revolu tionary proceedings of which the party is ca llable. The discreet Democrats everywhere look with horror upon their extraordinary op eratious, and the more prudent journals of l he party promp'ly eon Jenin them and dis claim responsibility for them. New Hampshire politics on botli sides have always been sut generis; there has been an intensity of partisanship which is unknown *11 .'iLitltoS 1C33 Cljuauj UIVIUCU, UI1U bUIISCVJUilll )y less hotly contested. The lines are closely drawn and all the devices of political warfare are cultivated to the greatest possible degree of efficiency. There is in this debatable laud a fervor of party fealty and a closeness of can vassing which are strikingly illustrated by the fa t that for twenty years the majority on either side has rarely reached three thousand. Under these circumstances it was fairly enough to be expected that, when the Demo crats came into power lastspring.there would be some pretty decisive and pronounced party legislation. Few, however, could have an ticipated such utter shamelessness as was manifested. The legislative majority and the Governor were managed by edicts of the State Central Committee, who settled in their secret meet lugs the whole course of procedure in every particular. Contested seats were given to party friends in the most arbitrary and outra geous fashion without even the gtace of an apparent impartiality. The state was re districted under a system of the baldest ger rymandering, so as to insure a Democratic majority in future legislatures against any or dinary Republican majority in the state at large. Republican state and county officials weie removed by address of the legislature to the Governor without any consideration of their official merits but solely on party grounds, and, in general, everything conceiv able was done to place party followers in offi cial position and to secure a perpetuation o' power. It would seem as if this arbitrary abuse of power were sufficiently shocking, but there was one lower depth of infamy attain able. and these New Hampshire Democrats, utterly regardless of decency and the remon strances of their brethren outside the state, promptly sought it. Tuey abolished their supreme court—one of the most respectable judicial bodies in the nation, whose decisions have long been high legal authority— thus unseating all the judges. They then estab lisbed two courts, one for the trial of causes and one for the settlement of law questions, and of course filled the places with needy Democratic lawyers. This action, striking at the very foundations of our institutions, awakened a general cry of remonstrauce from all quar'.ers, which availed nothing. .Secure in their temporary power and careless of the future they perpetiated this oflence against ail official decencies, which every in telligent and patriotic matt of their own party denounces as an outrage. If any one thing in all our nation should be kept more sacred from the influences of partisan strife Ilian all others, it is the judiciary—that sate guard and bulwark to the stability of our social and political organization. Set these New Hampshire vandals dared lay profane hands upon this ark of safety. Could polit ical maduess and recklessness go farther? It behooves all good citizens oi all parties in the face of these developments to pause and consider what they portend. If a set of men, accidentally in power, will perform such antics before high heaven, where would they s'op if they had greater power? We are sometimes inclined to be discon tented with some of the action of the Repub lican party, forgetting that absolute perfec tion is impossible and that we must be con tent to seek the highest attainable good. Let us look to New Hampshire and contem plate the alternative; then let us take heart at our comparative excellence and see to it that we keep our own party pure and decent and invoke the support of all good men who love their country to it as the great conserva tive organization which shall protect the nation against the revolutionary and de structive tendencies -whose development in New Hampshire has been so alarming. The Dominion papers consider the proposed reciprocal treaty so much of a living and practical question that several of them pub Jish the letter ot Speaker Blaine, and com ment with candor on its merits. The St. John Telegraph publishes the part of the let ter referring to the treaty and comments at length. In referring to the statement of Mr. Blaine that the treaty“embraces the admission of Canadian vessels to the American registry and the full enjoyment of the United States coast and lake trade,” it says that the writer probably had in his mind what would be a lair return for the advantages conferred noon the United States by tbe treaty rather that the return actually made. In other words, it says that Dominion vessels are not admit ted to the full enjoyment of United States coast and lake tiade. The Teleyraph, how ever, fails to estimate the importance of our reviving ship-building interest to our people when it puts it against free timber and coal and Canadian teriitory lor a market—which we already have to a great exteut. Washington specials arc telling us how drcadlully the bus.ness in tbe departments is getting behind because of the recent reduc tion of the force. It is rather too early to begin the attack upon Congress to restore tbe clerks to^heir places; and, besides, the opera tion is lather transparent at best, for if tbe clerks in tbe departments at Washington worked in earnest full days from seven or eight o’clock iu tbe morning until six at night, there might be a further reduction of tbe present force, and then there would be ample season for vacation. The Bekcher-Tilton Scandal.—Tbe Bos ton Journal of last evening says that “Air. James Red path (who is the “gentleman from Boston” referred to in the Associaied Press dis patch of this morniug) emphatically denies that lie brought “overtures of settlement” from Air. Beecher in order to effect a compromise; and explains tbe mystery of his appearance “at a very early hour” iu “Mr. Tilton’s bouse” by (lie fact that lie is the old time friend of both Air. and Airs. Tilton, and is a frequent guest at their bouse—as be was on this occasion. Air. Redpath stayed with Tilton both before and after bis visit to Mr. Beecher at Peekski'l, whom be left Boston to visit on lecture busi ness exclusively. He says the only “overture” that lie made to Mr. Tilton at “Parker’s re staurant iu Willoughby street” was 10 urge 1 >■ ni to take seme chops with his coffee, and that if there is anything derogatory to (lie character of any of the parties to this controv ersy in that suggestion he is willing to bear the brunt of it,” A Case of Kidnapping. A CHILD STOLEN—$20,000 DEMANDED AS A HANSOM. Tlie history of the recent kidnapping case in Philadelphia shows the plot to have been most diabolical in its nature, planned by unscrupu lous, shrewd men, with tbe apparent sole pur pose of enriching themselves by pocketing the reward which they knew must be offered by the afflicted father. For several days previous to July 1st two stange men have visited tbe locality of the residence, Washington laue, Germantown, of Mr. Christian K.iRoss—of the firm of Ross, Sliott Co., wholesale dry goods merchants on Market street, Philadel phia—and cultivated thejacquaintance of his two litt’e boys, by meaus of conversation, pres ents of candy, etc. On tbe day mentioned they came again iu a carriage and invited the little fellows to ride, which invitation they were not loth to accept. After having driven for some distauee tbe oldest one of the iwo little ones was asked to get out of the carriage ami buy a few packages of firecrakers. Hoy like, be most willingly complied No sooner bad he disap peared in the store than the two men lashed the horse and made away with the iitile four year old, whose name is Charles Brewster Ross, and who has ne^e. since been seen by those who knew him. although the most scrutinizing search has been made by the father and the de tective*. On tbe 4th the following advertise ment was published. “Three hundred dollars will be paid to the person returning to 5 North Sixth street a small boy, four years old, having loug, curly fiax‘»n hair, hazel eyes, clear, light skin, and round face; dressed in a brown linen suit with short skirt, broad brimmed straw bat and laced shoes. The child was lost from German town ou Wednesday afternoon (1st iust.,) be tween four and five o’clock.” This bringing no response, auotber adver tisement was printed ou the 6th, and in the “personal culumu” of the Ledger on the 7th tbe kidnappers replied as follows: “Ross—We he ready to negotiate.” Ou tbe same day the father, Mr. Ross, re ceived an anonymous letter through the post offlee, iu which it was stated that little Charlie would be returned for $20,000 It also went on to say that the boy was iu good hands; that the treatment given him was careful; that it had cost the parties a great deal of money to get him, and that they could uot think of return ing him for less than $20 000. Tbe father returned tue following ansvver through the Ledger personals: “lioss will come to terms to the extent of his ability.” Another anonvuious letter wa« at once re ceived by Mr. Ross, stating that the parties who held the child would not part with it for a smaller sum thau that already named, and to this, through the press, the father respond ed : “Ross is willing, have not got it, am doing my best to raise it.” Thus the matter stood at last accounts, not the least clew having been obtained, although the postoffice and newspaper offices have been watched every moment. The family is heart broken at the absence of the child, aud the firm to which Mr Ross belongs, having lost heaviiy in the panic, he is unable to nay at once the sum demanded by the blackmailers. It is hoped that he will uot be obliged to uo so, but that it will be the kidnappers who will be obliged to pay the penalty worthy of their inhumanity. Mr. Ross asserts that he knows of no enemy in the world who could be actuated by reveuge, aud therefore the motive of the villains must be mercenary. This is indicated by the fiendish letters he has received,of which the following are extracts: “We know you are not worth much money, but we are aware that you have rich friends of whom you can borrow. It you love money better than your child its blood be on your own head.” “Auy attempts to ascertain the child’s hiding place will result in its eutire annihilation We will ‘turu the child up’ on our own terms.” “We know our business aud we are going to fight it out.” The circumstances of the case are somewhat remarkable throughout. For five days previ ous to July J—the dayou which the child was stolen—these same men were seen around the neighborhood, aud each day approached the two children and spoke to them. It is pre sumed that they would have.made off with the youngest, little, Charlie Ross, several days be fore the 1st insiaut, but at each time there happened to be some oue passing aloug the laue. A Mistake. To the Editor of the Press: An article in your issue of yesterday headed “A former Bruuswick pastor in trouble,” we thiuk must relate to some person other than the former pastor of the Mason street Unitarian society, the Rev. Wm. Ellery Copeland, and thronly clergyman by the name of Copeland that ever ministered in Bruuswick. The “Rev. Lloyd Copeland” spoken of in the extract from the Indianapolis News, we think can have nothing in common but his last name with the gentleman above alluded to. The liev. Win. Ellery Copeland left Bruns wick a few years since and located in Missouri at first, afterwards going to Kausas. He now resides in Emporia, Kausas, and is engaged in preaching and iu teaching in the State Normal School, located there. The writer has received letters from him very recently from that place; and feels that the good name of Mr. Copeland requires this word of explanation. He made many warm friends while iu Brunswick and there was never a ru mor of wreng respecting him, so tar as the writer has heard, either while in Bruuswick or after his departure. He was young, enthusiastic and always ready to forward auything that commended itself to him as good, and there are not a few who would be sorry that auy taint should attach to his character. A. V. Me tcalf. Important to Seamen.—As there has been a good deal of inquiry of late relative to the laws in regard to the shipping aud discharge of seamen, we print the following official circular: Treasury Department, ( Washington, D. C., June 22, 1874. f To Collectors of Customs: The act of Congress appended hereto is pub lished lor your information. A copy should be posted iu each custom house. Very respectfully, J .

Approved June 9, 1874. The Stale Muster. The following letter gives the reason why the state muster cannot bet deferred: Brunswick, July 13,1874, Hon. Benj. Kingsbury, Jr: Dear Sir:—1 have carefully considered your campment of the state militia changed to some other date than that already fixed, in order not to conflict with the anniversary exercises of the Odd Fellows, and while my personal incli nations lead me to favor your proposition, a re gard for the interest of tile troops committed to my charge compels me to adhere to the time already announced. It is my duty to see that the money appropriated by the state'for milita ry purposes is expended in the most profitable manner, and also that the comfort and welfaie of the men called into the field shall be regard ed. These considerations, which led me to ap point the time must advantageous for the in terests of the service without regard to jiersoual preference, must still coutrol my action.

They are compounded of vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which can be injurious to the hutfRm constitution. Ot her remedies advertised as cures for Consump tion, probably contain opium, wuicu is a somewhat dangerous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by consumptive patients, it must do great injury; for its tendency is to coniine the morbid matter in the system, which of course, must make a cure impossi ble.
