H. Pierson, of the extensive clothing house of Pierson. & Hews', left last evening for the North, to purchase a heavy stock of fashiona ble goods for the spring trade. We are indebted to the gentlemen of that gallant company of the Sixth District, the Young America Fire Engine Company No. 3, for a kind invitation to participate with them la their ooming anniversary, which will take plaça Maroh 31. Rufus Ingalls declares that toe wonderful watoh he gave Mrs. Orant is a cheap affair, and never kept good time. That story is xalher thin. The President is reported to be as good a judge of time-keepers as of dogs and horses, and is altogether too intelligent a business man to trade so important an office aa that of Quartermaster-General for an in aignifleant $180 "turnip." Wa have received from the New Orleans On Light Company a neatly printed pam phlet containing the rules and regulations of nf the company, with suggestions for the benefit of gas consumers.

The Khedive of Egypt is the " boss " tax Hier of the globe. He has inherited and purchased real estate until he owns one-fitth Ot the whole country of Egypt, and upon this one-fitth no tax is levied. This properly in the possession of the Khedive, however, bas been mortgaged to the amount of $75, 000,000, the interest upon which must «* draw " quite as strong Is the modern tax MMOsment system. With all this debt, the KMdive is a man of great wealth, his coun try being able, it appears, to carry not only Nil but ns own immense inonmbranoes. The Muzzling Season at Washington.— Me. Pierrepont's zaal in^rarsuing Mr. Marsh hau excited a good deal of admiration. The . Commercial is especially moved by it, end thus commends it : " It is pleasing to boar that tbs vigorous Attorney General, who ■■eluded enough testimony against Babcock to save him, is in full* pursuit of Marsh. It mill never do to have Marsh at large. Men «bo blab under oath, and go right on and tell the whole truth when sworn to do so, are unsafe members of society. We must have all the Marshetf muzzled, or the devil will be , to pay throughout the land. Clap a muzzle on Marsh right away and save the oonatry !" Oorundruhr. —The New York Herald won dsn thus: " How did Bsboook, the modestly paid eng in eer, find his oottage by the sea? How did Shepherd amass his vast fortune ? What affluent goddess has showered plenty upon Robeson ? How is it that Senators and Represe nt a ti ves gjrow rich upon the small ** 1 ** 1 ** of their station ? We know (alas ! how ■adly we know) the source of Belknap's ■odal distinction, his dinners, his roots and nagnifleene. If we ever know the truth about the others we shell probably have revelations as painful and astounding. That Reaction. —The Philadelphia Press myu that " the flood of scandal poured over the land concerning* publio men is rapidly awakening a reaction." To which the New York World rejoins: "We should think it was. Such a spasm of virtue sa the Belknap explo sion has caused in the party in power, we have net beheld since it was first born. In quickjiuooeesion we have seen Babcock re tiring from the White House; an excellent appointment of Minister to England; Bristow retained in the Treasury instead of being turned oat; Pinchbeok restored to his usual haunts in New Orleans, and a final quietus given to the third term. Truly this is a re action, and it is to be hoped it will oontinne till ell the public offices are filled with honest and competent people, and no guilty man is .permitted to eeoape." in of to as It to of HEW HAMP8HIEE. the the to ot it s From the meagre reporte by telegraph it seems that the Republicans of New Hamp shire have not been shaken in their allegiance co the party of Grant, Belknap, Sehen ck, Bab cock and the whisky stealers. Last year, after an animated canvass and a lively elec tion, in which 79,200 Voles were polled, Per son C. Cheney, Republican candidate tor Governor, received a majority of less than 200—792 votes being cast for a temperance candidate. In 1874, in a total vote of about 82,000, Weston, Democrat, received a majority of 1465, the temperance vote being 2100. Iu 1875 the Democrats gained two members of Congress. The Democrats of New Hampshire have never had s majority at any of the twenty five State and general elections since 1835. They had a plurality in 18G3, in 1871 and again in 1874, otherwise, for more than twenty years, or ainoe the Republican party succeedc d to the American party, the State has been Republican by majorities ranging from less than 200 to about 9000. When elections were olosely contested the floating or temperance vote has usually been smalL Where party lines are and have long been so Btrictly drawn there has been but little rea son to expect any extraordinary change either for us or against us. Returns received indi cate a full vote, which is always incident to an election which enlists the feeling and arouses the interest of the fteople. The friends of the Administration made great ex art ions and spared neither pains nor money to poll a heavy Republican vote. The State was canvassed by many of the most popular and skillful debaters of the party, who were no doubt well paid for leaving their homes or offices to brave the drifts and blasts of a New Hampshire winter. Local questions appear to have been subordinated to party is sues, and the election was made a rehearsal or drill preparatory to that of next November. The irflammatory tactics of Morton and Blaine were pursued vigorously, every effort being made to re-aw&ken the ani mosity, venom and malignant spirit of the war. Infinite care was taken to give the widest circulation to every recent speech in Corgre6B or elsewhere that could be miscon strued or distorted into au expression of tiou them disloyalty. With this purpose the eloquent and indignant speech of Mr. Hill, o* Georgia, in a garbled form and without refer ence to the provocations under which the true speech was made, was circulated through out the State as a campaign document. Every possible effort with this purpose was made to alienate fr om the Democratic party the liberal and conservative friends of reform in local and national affairs. The object of Radical harangues being to persuade the people of New Hampshire that a rebellious spirit pre vails among the Southern people, they were heard and applauded by a people often before decei|pd and eager to be deceived again. The anti-Democratic voters of Northern States greedily swallow slanderous tales told to our detriment The dry earth does not more freely drink in the falling rain than Radical listeners devour Radical slanders against the people of the South. The day is far off when politicians will cease to play upon their pre judices and their enmity in the same way. The Republicans of New Hampshire evi dently care nothing at all about the villainies of Radical officials which have reoently been brought to light. If every Cabinet officer had been convicted of bribery, if frauds upon the revenue had been proven to fifty times the extent revealed, or if the buying and selling of (.votes, effioea and influence had been shown to be the universal Radical habit, no effect would have been produced upon the haters of the South who live and vote in New Hampshire. They will sustain thieves, knowing them to be snob, if they also know them to be oar enemies. PUSH ON. The Democrats in Congress have done well in pushing investigation into the very heart of the Radical camp, and have won the de served applause of all honest men in the conn try. The independent voter, npon whose suf frage depends the result of the next cam •paigo, has undoubtedly been favorably im pressed with the honest intentions of the Democratic House in its effort to unearth the the fraud and corruption which everybody believes to have existed in official circles ever sinoe the advent of Grant to the Presidential chair. Muoh has been done, but much more remains yet to do; it is only the initial step that has been taken so far, and even that has not been made as positive and firm as neces sary. This Belknap affair must be brought fully to light, and the offender must be made to suffer the full penalty of his crimes. It is not enough to have exposed to the country his villainy—an example must be made of him, and Presidential influence and threats must not be allowed to intimidate in the slightest degree the members of Mr. Olymsr's commit tee. * Since the Belknap expose the attention of the committee has been directed to other end even more stupendous robberies end frauds in official ciroles, and the demand for more in vestigation and more energetic labor has be come general. The 1st« elections in two Eastern States demonstrated the fact that the Radioal party are determined to hold together as fast as possible ; they have discovered the fact that their only hope of salvation lies in their allegianoe to their par y, and they see that if they fail in the next campaign a long train of disasters will follow their leaders as soon as they lose the power of the Executive. It is to the intelligence and reason of the independent voter that the Democratic party must address itself, and they can do so in no better way that in evidencing a sincere desire to punish those who have perpetrated such fligrant outrages upon the people, and if pos sible to despoil them oi the fmits of their knavery. This is no time for halting—the members of the various committees of the House must push on in the good work. Eveiy department of the government must be subjected to an earnest, exhaustive and thorough investiga tion, and the results must be made publio ae soon es arrived et, in order that the world may see what the oommittees are doing. of of of bs est of his in and the and it tor of d Criminals, whatever be their positions, soon os discovered most be made to undergo e speedy trial, and if found guilty, must be made to suffer the consequence of their wrongdoing. Every fraud discovered and left half exposed, or not made to "plague the in ventor," must cast a reflection upon those who could, and yet did not, push the conse qaenoes to their farthest limit. Let the Democrats in the House push on, <»nd they will win not only the thanks of their constitu ents, but a glorious victory for honesty and reform in the approaching campaign; but they prove laggards in the work they may look for a renewed seizure of 'power and a re newed reign of villainy, ander the auspices of corruption's friend—the Radical party. Gentlemeh of the House, you must "posh on. ELECTION OF PBE8IDENT. The New York Herald, of March 11, con eludes an editorial essay on Executive respon sibility, etc., with the following paragraph: It was the original plan of the Federal Con vention that the President should be elected by Congress. That method was twice rejected and twice readopted, and it would have been better bad it finally been adhered to. The vacillation and shifting was between the elec toral colleges and Congress, and at the lost moment the Convention decided in favor of the electoral college system, which has proved so idle and abortive. A change in the direc tion of the English system would necessarily vest the choice of the Cabinet, either directly or indirectly, in Congress; but, quite apart from the merits of the English system of prompt accountability, it would be an im provement to go back to Jhe original plan of the Federal Convention and elect the Presi dent by the legislative department. The convention chose wisely. Their object was to form a government of three depart ments, altogether distinct each from the others, besides being as nearly independent as public interests would admit. They wanted a legislature in two branches—one popular, representing the people of sections of States the other governmental, or representing States as governments. They wanted their executive to be elected, not by Congress nor directly by the people; not by a popular ma jori'y, but by a majority in a system of elec tion that at once rceignized the rank of States by relative numbers of voters and the equality of States irrespective of numbers. They gave eaoh State two Senators and they gave each State two electors at large, being careful to recognize the equality of the States in constituting their executive department, as they did in the legislative, giving effect to numbers in both, and to equal rank of the States in both. They seemed to dread mob ocratio tendencies, the tyranny of the larger States over the smaller, and the still worse tyranny of seotional or popular majorities. They wanted to prevent their President from dictating to Congress and from forming a per sonal party in either house, and they wanted him at the same time to be independent enough to do right in his official action. They did not try to make him superior to the legis lative department, nor did they desire him to be subjeot to the whims and caprices oi fluctuating majorities. They waited a Chief Magistrate to execute the laws of Congress and to wield such execu tive force iu men and means as Congress might see fit from time to time to place at his disposal ; they did not want a chief ruler who would be obliged to act as his own chief cabinet officer to go on the floor of the House or Senate to plead for the passage of measures proposed by him, and to resign his office as soon as he might find a difference of opinion between himself and a majority of members or Senators. Such a system would soon develop into anarchy, and would be attended by a perpetual succession of intrigues against the Executive. Eich election of President by Congress would be a scene of disorder and violenoe. A base,* bold millionaire would bid high in bribes for the electoral votes of members, and the odious money power would at once become para mount Thera would be far less stability governmental policy, and all check upon hasty, crude, violent and extravagant legislation would be removed. The election of President by Congress for such time as he might concur with the majority in opinion, would at onoe take from the Executive all liberty of thought and action. It would be practically an absorption of the executive into the legislative department, which would bs speedily followed by the absorption of the Senate into the popular branch, by per petual changes in policy, and by an indis criminate tinkering and meddling with the fondamental law. Majorities would rule in every instance, leaving minorities no shield from their tyranny. Our system oi Federal and local governments would not endure the strain of such a trial. Belknap, the Fallen! Arriving here Wednesday morning, I found the chief topic of gossip was still the de graded and fallen Belknap. He had just gone through one of the most excruciating trials of his terrible experience. At noon the police had taken him under arrest and conveyed him to the Police Court. What a terrible commentary on the vicissitudes of life. Two weeks since tbe War Secretary of the "great est nation on God's footstool," a small man, apparently great, surrounded by flatterers and sycophants, clothed in power, mighty in his dispensation ot patronage, reveling in all the appointments of a gorgeous and luxurious home, apparently insured from adverse fortune, and prepared to smile at the threats of his enemies 1 To-day, in two brief weeks, tumbled to the dust, a degraded crim inal at the bar of a Police Court Justioe ! Talk of punishment and impeachment ! Can any punishment the mind of man could, devise be more terrible than this ? Yet there was one drop more that oonld be added to the cup of this man's agony. When the Jadge fixed his boil at $25, (WO, there was no man to go upon his bond. Where was the man Grant now, who never went back on a friend ? Where was Boss Shepherd, who had fattened and reveled with Belknap ? Where were the hun dred friends of prosperity ? Where were the toadies, the butterflies that hovered around his brilliant wife in those magnificent salons, enriched with stolen money ? Was there not among all of these one man who wot Id stand bv a friend in his hour of sorest need ? No and yes. There was a fellow named Connolly, a drunken contractor, who had consented to go upon the bond and give freedom to the cap tive. Bat even h< j failed in the hour of need, and when found p leaded as an excuse that he had no real prope ty. The heart of this dis tinguished crimin d sank within him. Wells, the prosecutor, as mated by humanity, asked and proeured the bermission of the Court to S and self the and vals be left in the and re of of of as of retire with Belknap and bis oonnsel to an ad joining room. Thitfc er they went, and for four long hours Belknap paeed that room, racked by remorse and anguish, while his counsel scoured the city for a bondsman. After long effort a man named-Reilley was fonnd to "ante " the sum required, and Bel knap went from the misery of the court-room to the anguish of his dismal home.— Washing ton correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer.
