Apart from the diminished demand for export

the Increased production ot mines, It seems to be ovtdent
that silver as a standard of value, either in combination

Impossible as to restore tho old conches in the placo of

THE UNITED STATES SENATORSHIP
Concord, X. H.t March 14, 1876.
Tho election In New Hampshire Is over, and to-night
the result is being discussed lu every city, town and
hamlet in the State. There never was a canvass lu |
.. Him inuiu mm ? Kii|irumi'r cuiiuucnni on 1110 one siuo
or a calmer waiting for events on the other. The republicans
would not admit for a moment the possibility
of defeat nnd the democrats could not bo induced to
say more than that they hoped for a victory.
Charges of corruption on tho one side and of ffnud on
tlio other were freely made from day to day. and even
riot and bloodshed wero predicted. At Manchester the
republicans prctcmlod to think the assistance of the
military would be necessary to prevent disturbance, but
all tlieso pretences wero only parts of their
ft .AN OK TIIK CAMPAIGN'.
A feverish canvass and feverish town tncotlngs were
essential elements of their ticket. Both parties freely
used the tolegraph all day long, to better their chances
by tho dissemination of intelligence, true or false, all
over tho State. At tho polling places these despatches
wero read to tho mob, and wore received with acclamation
by the side which hid tho victory. Karly
In tho day came word that Lancaster bad
elected a republican Moderator, and this raised
high hopes, because Inst year tho Moderator was a
democrat. Tho election of tho Moderator Is prelim- I
inary to an election In a Now Hampshire town, aud
consequently it has somo significance as tho first trial |
of strength and as an Indication ol tho fortunes or tho
day. Upon tuis early information it was assumed, not
that Lancaster had undcrgono u political revolution,
but that this result was llic harbinger of other revolutions.
Boon it was ascertained that Northfield, Gilford,
i. us Don, uurnam ana Pembroke lind all chosen
HBI'UIII.ICAN MODKKATOKR,
and the>e being douhttul towns tho republicans were In
higher feather tuau beforo. The only reply which the
democrats could mako to thoao despatches was to discredit
them and to olfaet them by similar triumphs.
They lailod, however, to contend success!ully with tho
republican managers with this kind ot thing, and as
the day woro on even the republicans began to tool
that they must have ono or two big victories to enthuse
tho party nnd bring out tho laggards.
THK N'KWS mo* WARNKR
was ot the kind to suit them. Warner is a democratic
town, and thoro Colonel N. G. Ordway, not unknown
to lame as the Sergeant-at-Arms at the national House
of Representatives for ever so many Congresses, was
elected Moderator by 36 mnjortty. Here was a revolution
indoed, and It was not long until Canterbury was
addeu as another surprising and unexpected victory.
Everybody was elcctrltiod to hear that Canterbury
nod elected a republican Representative by 71
majority. Here was proof that tho tactics of the lend
VI0 mil DUVVCVUHI|J us usifVI J'.lllfi ill UIU OIUIC, IOI"
tho democrat* earned the town last year, as It Is
claimed by tho republicans, by buying up the entire
disposable population. Days and days ngo, I heard
that tho democrats were to bo outdouo this
year and that the republicans had mouey
enough to make Canterbury all right. Tho result
proves that the pcoplo who told me this knew what
they were talking about and that tho scandal about
bribery and corruption and tho wholesale selling of
votes In New Hampshire has only too much foundation
in (act.
AXXIKTT AT I1XADQTARTKHS.
It was thus that all day long tho tide of battlo rolled,
and when ovening came there was apparently no rca
son for expecting anything short of a republican victory.
A complete triumph for republicans means three
things?that Governor Cbeeney shall bo elected by the
peoplo; that tho minority of the Council shnll bo
republican, and that the republicans shall havo
at least a good working majority in the Legislature.
Tho Council shares with the Governor the power
of appointment to ofllce, and it was feared,
even at tho republican headquarters, that threo out of
tbe Ave councilinen would bo democratic. This would
mnlto a republican government more ornamental to tho
State than useful to the party and it was a very great
incentlvo to vigorous political action. Upon tho
Legislature depends tho solcction of -a Unilod Stales
Senator to succeed Mr. Cragin, and this is a prise for
which both parties are anxious. Messrs. Stearns, Itollins
and Chandler are all anxious for It, and saw success
for thom only in a groat victory to-day. Among tho
democrats similar aspirations were equally strong,
and they fought their battlo with a quint desperation
thtt at leant dftfiflrTAd inerjn Vh?n I hn vnina hotran
to be counted, however, they wcro Boon made to feel
that the prognostications of the day and tho confluence
of the republicans previous to the election wero not
mere Idle words.
mtrt-nucAtf GAINS
were found In muny democratic strongholds, and In
thfs city their net gain Is 1.16. The claim was that tho
gain In Concord would be 200, at.d It will be seen that
the prediction was very nearly verified and
that the victory Is a very great ono In a
State where every vote Is hotly contested.
All through tho evening the democrats have
conceded their defeat, and sorno of them are saying,
rather dolcfnlly, -'We have met tne enemy and wo aro
theirs." The republicans, on tho other hand, nre Jubilant,
and still there are a few of them who await
midnight with auxictr, fearing that, like last year, tho
dread hour might rob their victory of much of Its
glory.
GOVS.RNOR CtlKSKT'S MAJORITY.
Nothing was to come, however, that would reverse tho
ludgmcnt of what seemed inevitable from tho begin- j
mng, and the republican triumph is as great aa the '
most sanguine politicians in the parly claimed it would
!>o.
Governor Cheney's majority Is put by his friends st
Trim 1,500 lo 2,l*H), hut It Is not probable that It wll'
exceed l,ti00. Hut of 1(M> towns Cheney hns 31,100 and
Marrey 28,W3fl; scattering 310. This leaves Cheney
i mnJtrHV of 1,1117, hut the towns to be heard from
tre largely democratic, and ran scarcely fail to rcduco
his majority to about the figures I have Indicated. The
republicans claim the Legislature by a majority of
from 15 to 25, Including 8 out of the 12 Senators. It Is
likely they will have In the Senate all they claim; but
m the House their majority will not be so great.

The 199 towns which have been heard from foot up

THE NEWS QUIETLY HECEIVED IN WASHINGTON?THE
UNITED STATES SENATOKSHIP.
Washington March 14, 1870.
Tho news from New Hampshire was taken quietly
enough by both parties here to-nlghu The republicans
aro much encouraged by it, and tho democrats aro
many of them frank enough to say that their hot
headed Southern brethren of the Hon Hill school needed
a rebuke of some sort, and that a defeat of tho party in
Now Hampshire was about the cheapest wyy it could be
administered, provided it proves efloetual enough
to be beneficial in November. The republicans
congratulate themselves that tho liclknap
scandal was powerless to break up tlivlr
jmn> , mil. mo democrats suy uiai inn uisciusuro 01
Jlolknap'a corruption was either a week too Into or a
week too early?they can't tell which?to have au
efl'oct upon the election favorable to their way ol thinking.
It was a week too early, they say, because its
damaging power was meantime weakened by the abortive
attempt at impcachineut and the ridiculous, If not
dubious, action ol the democratic committee.
The republicans are anxious as to the complexion of
the next Legislature, for the reason that that body
will choose a United Stales Senator, and that the republican
maturity in the Senate is now so slim that
not a man more can be wasted alter the virtuous Immolation
ot 1'inchback.
