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.
