Washinoton, D. C, )
March U, 1873.
There were a thousand reasons why
the Republicans should not havo car
ried New Hampshire yesterday. But
they carried it. The Democrats, not
withstanding all the oppotunities they
have had in the last few yean tore-es
tablish public confidence, to reform a-
buses, and to reduce the expenses of
Government, have failed, in the open
mg battle of 1878, to carry a State
which has long been considered doubt
f ul. I am not given to sermons, but a
word of advice and warning may not
be out of place here. This Democratic
failure is due, first of all, to the faot
that the Houo of Representatives has
not done and has not attempted to do
one half it should have done in the
way of reforming abuses, reducing tax;
ation, and thereby restoring confidence
to the country. Secondly the Demo
cratic party has become as tbourough
ly divided over Mr. Uildcn, who has no
patronage, as the llepoblicau party is
over Mr. Hayes who has all the Feder
ral patronage. Thirdly Democrats
all over the country not all democrats
butsome aspiring men in every section
have gone farther than Republicans
themselves in asserting the validity of
Hayes' title to the Presidency.
The House of Representatives shows
a disposition to repair its error, and
will probably do its share of the work
of preventing further defeats like that
in New Hampshire, Prominent men
in the House promise now that the
Radical party shall be put on the de
fense. So far as the foolish Demo
cratic squnbblo over Mr. Tildcn, or
over any other man, as a candidate for
the Presidency in 1880, is concerned
the mere putting the fact iu plain words
would seem to bo enough. If the Dem
ocratic pirty can Hud nothing but per
sonal matters to discuss while tho
country is in distress we may bo sure
that the country will seek relief out
side of the Democratic party. Tho
folly of giving prominenco, in letters
and speeches and platforms to expres
sions of confidence in Hayes' title to
tbo office, while his own party almost
universely ignores the subject has
made itself apparent to every Democrat
from Maine to Jiouisana. The country
does not honestly believe in that title.
Give the people a change on these
three points, and we may have victories
instead of defeat.
Mr. Hewitt of New York paid his
respects to the Civil Service lieforms
of Mr. Hayes, on Monday. There
has been no such forciblo speaking in
tho House since Blaine with his Presi
dential hopes depending on his utter
ances, defended himself from charges
of dishonesty. Mr. Hewitt surprised
even those who knew him to bo an a
ble man. His dissection of the hypo
critical pretense of reform was
thorough. One cannot imagine Hayes
reading that speech without a blush.
Particularly forcible was the state
meet that Hayes thought it improper
for him or others to reward ordinary
political services, but had showered of
fices upon all who aided him by trick
ery, forgery, perjury, and in other ways
in his irregular and extra-constitution
al elevation to the Presidency. This
speech should have a general circula
tion. Senator Blaine on Monday made
a forrjal argument against the pay
ment of tho fishery award of 5.500.0U0
dollars. 1 suppose he has no expec
tation ot preventing the payment, bat
is attempting to provoke an agitation.
Out of that agitation will necessarily
come a general discussion of the ques
tion of annexing the Province of the
United State, Senator Blaine, would
unquestionably JUke the lead in all dis
cussions of that tubject. It ha ien a
life Ion etady of hi, and ha . entered
into all hi plans for the . last year.
The act approved on the. th inst.
concerning j-eDsioo for IS12oldier, it
is now thought will benefit many thou
sand persons. Under it any one who
erred 14 day, or pirtkipited is one
battle, in the war of 1S1 is entitled
to a pension c IS f:r naoc'Ji from vhe
date of approval of act' Widows of
suoh soldiers as have died after similar
service, no matter what was tbe date of
marriage to the soldier, are entitled to
the aame pension. Those heretofore.
dropped for alleged disloyalty are re
h to red. The former act required CO
days service, and that the widow, to
bo entitled, should have been married
tothe8oldier; prior to Fob. 17, 1815.
