NEW HAMPSHIRE holds its State election on the 14th inst., and Connecticut on the first Monday in April.

NEW YORK CM* is a delightful place of residence for nervous people. It is said that hundreds of mysterious disappearances have taken place there and in that vicinity during the last two months. "Men, women and children of all ages and conditions start out to their work or to attend to daily duties, and are never heard of again." The Star asserts thatthere is an organized band of robbers who make it a rule to murder all I heir victims.

THOSE v.ho believe in the propriety and justice "of legal angulation or neckbreaking, will be glad learn that BEN. SAWYER, the Evansville wife murderer, has been sentenced to be killed by the Sheriff of Vanderburg county, on the 26th of May. BEN. is a clo.-e approximation to the brute c.eation, a very dangerous fellow. llis conduct, throughout the trial, and while receiving his sentence, was what might have been expected of a bulldog, if one could imagine that animal unde" similar circumstances. To kill such a fellow accoiding to the statutes, i-', doubtie-s, the cheapest way to dispose of him, but we don't believe his execution will be a sublime vindication of the law's majesty. Is it unreasonable to suggest that eighteen hundred and seventy years of Christian experience ought to have indicated some better way of punishing murderers and protecting society than that which was in vogue ages before CHRIST lived on earth?

"WE BELIEVE there is not a person in this city who will not be glad to see a company of our own enterprising citizens authorized by the Council to construct and maintain an efficient system of water works. While other cities are piling up heavy loads of debt, to be a mortgage upon their industry and resources for long years to come, it seems to be our better fortune to avoid such oppressive public burdens. With us, private enterprise is relied upon to do many things that promote the public good. We thus escape debt, municipal jobbery, hosts ofuseless officials, and many other evils resulting from an attempt of local governments to exceed their just limits.

IT IS a very good and timely suggestion of the Philadelphia Inquirer that Congress establish Bome sort of an official journal other than the Globe, provided that the printing of it would not cost too much, in which honorable members might discuss as verbosely as possible their relations with the press and set erring journalists right. By this means, the Inquirer thinks much time might be saved which is now wasted daily by members "in explanations," which are intended to blunt the edge of newspaper criticism. There is nothing, we believe, for which members of Congress effect a greater contempt than newspaper comment upon their acts and doings, and yet, as the daily explanations show, no set of men can be more thin-skinned and sensitive than these same Congressmen. The time taken up by their daily explanations ought to be saved to the country, and therefore the establishment of a "Congressional newspaper annihilator" would be a capital thing and oblige honorable members to "rush into printing" instead of precipitating themselves into talk.

From tho Daily Express, 6th.] Holly Water Works. While we have persistently opposed the construction of water works by the municipal government, and have given substantial reasons for such opposition, we have believed, and frequently intimated, that a private corporation would undertake the erection and maintenance of an efficient system of water works, under a charter duly protecting the rights and interests of all parties. It affords us sincere pleasure to announce that the subject has at length assumed definite and tangible shape, and that a number of our prominent capitalists and business men,— gentlemen who have always been relied upon for the inauguration and prosccu" tion of enterprises requiring money and public spirit—will apply to the Council, at its next meeting, for a charter to con struct works on the Holly plan. The capital stock of the company is proposed to be fixed at $220,000, and the gentlemen who are taking the lead in the move ment believe that there will be no difficulty in securing an adequate subscription. We can see no reason why the Council should not encourage the proposal, and believe it will commend itself strongly to the approval of that body. The fact that the gentlemen who will apply for a charter are largely interested in the prosperity of the city is one of the best features of the enterprise. The necessity for a permanent and abundant supply of water, and the advantages resulting therefrom, are admitted by all, and we may hail as public benefactors those who propose to meet this great and growing want.

THE happy harmony existing in the Democratic party of this State is indicated by these items from the State orpin and a leading journal of the party:

We confess to having high "aspirations," but we have no wish to dictate to political contemporaries, whether older or younger than ourselves. We have opinions, however, upon all questions ot public or party policy, and we have never yet been "timid" about expressing them. —lnd. Sentinel.

Will the Sentinel just tell the German Democracy of the State, what its opinions are on the policy of turning Mr. Sarnighausen out of his place in the Senate?— yctc Albany Ledger.

THE Ohio editors, at their recent convention, adopted this sensible resolution, which may have been intended as

a re

buke to their professional brethren in the

...u iuKe precedence of perma­

nent street improvements. It would be folly to put down expensive pavements, or even Mac Adamize our streets, and have the work torn up in a short time to lay pipes or sewers. Let us have all the public improvements that the growth of the city requires, as fast as we can conveniently pay for them but let us take them in their proper order, so that the introduction of one will not ruin or damage another.

Political Notes and Clippings.

SEVERAL Ohio papers have expressed a preference for Hon. Samuel Galloway as the next Republican candidate for Governor.

THE New York Tribune approves the course of the Prussians in marching through Paris, affirming that the citywas theirs by right of conquest and bytreaty.

THE Louisville Ledger thinks the Kuklux in Kentucky are no worse than the vigilance committee that didn't hang Jason Brown, but ihat did hang the Renos. The Lafayette Journal thinks there is so little difference between the 2d District and Kentucky, it is not worth while to argue the point.

A CORRESPONDENT, describing the voyage of the Tennessee, savs: "Her slow gate exciting attention, it was observed that her sails and steam were working in opposite directions, the former carrying her ahead, and the latter working her astern. As it was, however, the sails beat the steam about one half a mile a day. She was originally constructed for speed, but was Porterized, and became a thing of beauty only."

ALLUDING to the Cincinnati Enquirer's howl because "the income tax is not repealed," the Times of that city remarks: "That a Democrat, professing to belong to the old party of the people, should oppose the income tax, is inexplicable on any other hypothesis than that the Democratic party of to-day has no legitimate kinship to the Democracy of fifty years ago. It has become thoroughly the party of monopoly."

THE New York Tribune, stating that over one hundred millions of dollars per annum have been paid on the public debt since the beginning of Gen. Grant's term of office, adds, "O, that we could have had the forecast to keep right on at this rate until the last dime of the debt was paid." True but what, in the meantime, would have become of the poor fellows who create the means by which all this is to be paid?

THE fuss made over the mulatto mail agent between Frankfort and Louisville has led to the suspension of the mail service on that line, under an act of Congress approved February 28th, which provides for such suspension "whenever, in the opinion of the Postmaster-General, the postal service cannot be safely continued, or the Postoffiee revenues collected, the postal laws maintained on any post route, by reason of any cause whatsoever."

THERE is a proposal now pending in the English Parliament to disqualify all peers who are bankrupt from sitting in the House of Lords. The Boston Timeg thinks this would be a partial check of the impunity with which possessors of entailed estates—lords or gentlemen— swindle the people. The best cure that could be adopted would be the abrogation of the law which entails everything but personal property on a successor do away with that and gambling and bankruptcy would have their proper punishment.

AN intelligent writer in one of the Western Territories suggests the repeal of the organic acts of Montana, Idaho, and Utah, and to add thom to Nevada, ami thus constitute "one mighty Rocky Mountain, sage bush, bunch grass, horn silver and virgin gold State out of it." There is sound sense in the proposition, and we are not able to discover any other serious practical difficulty in the way of its adoption than the bitter hostility it would of course encounter from the multitude of small politicians who find lucrative situations in the present Territorial governments.

HORACE GREELEV says we have repeatedlv had revenue tariffs—often, for years in succession—but none of them ever afforded nearly so much revenue as present protective tariff, which was denounced on its passage by free-traders as calculated to destroy our revenue from imports by stopping importation. Time proved them mistaken. Now, they seem to favor large additions to the free-list-We made such last Summer, but they are no better satisfied since than they were before. They are predetermined not to be satisfied by aught that we can do and a "Republican" may wisely give them a wide berth, and look rather to his friends than his adversaries for economical suggestions.

THE triumph of Germany, remarks the Chicago Journal, is the triumph of anew and improved, over the past decrepid and corrupt civilization of humane science, industry, national culture, apd sound order, over the mere passion for military glory I he oppression of military despotism, the idle fame of national display, and the glamour of a superficial renown. Germany entered upon this fearful struggle in humiliation and prayer before the great Being on whose bleessincrs all human destinies rest. In the same spirit, we are sure, it will consecrate its great triumph, to its own and the world's good.

As MIGHT be expected, the emigration returns which bear upon any portion of the last six months, show a large decrease on the same period last year. Between the quarter ending March 2, 1871, and that ending March 2, 1S70, there ia a difference in favor of the latter of 2,761. This is almost exclusively a deficit in

..iii, energy and audacity

..c was a formidable man. He presided over an equally divided Senate, and young, unknown and inexperienced as he was, he conceived the amazing idea of becoming United States Senator himself. He had never been heard of outside of his county, and not enthusiastically reported in it. United States Senators, up to that time, had been the most distinguished men in the State, old legislators, Ex-Gov-ernors, Co gressmen, and the youthful Madisonian was nothing. But he meant to go, and he couldn't go at the lime of he regular election. So he resolved that there should be no regular election. He had the casting vote, and gare it every time, for the postponement of the election, while everybody knew, just as well as they knew that he was sitting in his chair, that he was doing it for his own personal benefit The brassy selfishness of the thing, and the consciousness that everybody understood the meanness of the motive, as well as the auda cious boldness of the innovation on long recognized rules and the plain require ment of the law, would have made a modest man, or a sensitive man, or an intellectual man, hang himself rather than face the eyes that read him as plain as a show bill. But the daring youth saw his own hopes too vividly to see anything else, and he was not troubled with a surplus of feeling or conscience. He defeated the election, and the next year gained his point. He went to the United States Senate, where he never made a speech that a creditable high school scholar couldn't surpass in style and logical force, and never devised a measure that would have commanded attention in a town council, and yet, by managing his patronage adroitly, by cunning and unscrupulous combinations, and by a resolute and never-failing adhesion to his friends, and as resolute an opposition to his enemies, he acquired an influence that no Indiana man had ever before, attained in either branch of Congress. Thus began the long catalgue of perversions or prostrations of law to party and personal advantage, in which the Democratic party stands con spicuously infamous. In 1855, as noticed in yesterday's letter, the Senatorial election to fill the vacancy after the expiration of Whitcomb's term, (then held by Judge Pettit,) was again defeated by the Democrats. The People's party had majority on joint ballot, and would have elected Joseph G. Marshall, a man whose brains would have made as many of Jesse D. Bright as would enable France to whip Germany to-morrow, and whose purity made him shine beside his lucky and un scrupulous townsman, like a diamond by a dab of mud. He was a great man in intellect, greater still in immaculate in tegrity and honorable ambition. Democracy beat him, and Graham N. Fitch got the place, afterwards, by an election that justified every step of the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment. To accomplish that ominous election Leroy Woods was persistently retained in the possess ion of two offices, and the proper business of the whole session was thrown away, as it was thrown away in this year 1871. It is worth while occasionally to recall these incidents of Democratic history, to show how consistent in evil that party has been, while repudiating every sugges tion of consistency in its doctrines and professions. T. T.

Two Mean Tilings. INDIANAPOLIS, March 6.

Ralph Waldo Emerson says that "ideas run in pairs and the occurrence of a new one is a source of uneasiness till its mate is found." This unrest is shown in most cases by strained efforts to make a mate if none comes in the way easily. This is the reason, he adds, that no man ever tells a story a single time. If ho tells ii once, he invariably looks for a chance to tell it again. Without accepting the Emersonian doctrine absolutely, or allowing the metaphysical compulsion of a repetition of any act, good or bad, no man with ordinary powers of observation will deny the "duality" of manifestations of villainy. Wrongs hunt in couples. Sometimes in couples of kindred evil, sometimes of wrong and retribution. I noticed the other day how the Democracy, after setting the example of defying law and duty in furthering its own ends, in postponing the Senatorial election of 1844, repealed it in 1855. How also they mated the retention of Woods in two offices in 1857, with the expulsion of Burson in 1871. How the abandonment of the State's credit and charities in 1857 was made a pair by the same act in 1863. The Apportionment bill of 1871 happily completes the 'duality" of the Militia bill of 1863, and that infamy no longer stands alone. Some of the readers of the EXPRESS may never have heard, others have forgotten, that measure, and it may not be amiss to recall it.

Gov. Morton had distinguished himself bv his war services, and was, to loyal men and traitor alike, the recognized embodiment of the war feeling of Indiana Of course the Democracy hated him and insulting him was to their jaundiced souls, hostile to the war but doubtful of saying so, "willing to wound and yet afraid to strike," a good deal such satisfac tion as it is to a cowardly cub to make mouths at th# sister of the boy he don't dare to fight. Defying him was defying the war and the government by proxy. This feeling made them reject his message when he sent it to the House, and propose to substitute for it the message of that "friend" of the orphan murderers of New York, Gov. Horatio Seymour. It also impelled one of them to shoot at him one night as he walked from the west end of the State House to the gate on Market street to go home. (The Governor's house was on Market street.) It also impelled the preparation of the House bill No- 221, called the "Militia bill," to dismount him from the command of the State militia conferred by the Constitution, and replace him by four State officers, Auditor Ristine, Secretary Athon. Treasurer Brett, and Attorney General Hord, all of sfhoin, except Brett, were Sons of Liberty. It (sec. 11) made these men a Military Board with power to designate all officers to whom the Governor should^ issue oommissioas, and to givp their own wrtificfttes the force of POIQ-J

it was not defended as

anything else. Mr. Packard, the other half of the "see-saw" of which Bazoo Brown remains, one or the other of whom was "on the floor" a3 constantly as the carpet, said in the House that his "party proposed to deprive the Governor of all military power," (See page 124, Brevier Reports, 1863.) This bill was pressed, from the day of its introduction, February 17, by the same arbitrary action that was exhibited in the Apportionment bill. Discussion was choked by the previous question, amendments voted down, no chance of exposure allowed, and finally it was engrossed, in the face of repeated promises from leading Democrats of this city and of the State, that it should not be pressed or passed. The Republicans defeated it as they did its "dual," the late Apportionment bill. Is not this unconstitutional and indefensible project for a State revolution happily paired by the bill which proposed an apportionment at a time not fixed by the constitution, without the enumeration required by the constitution, and with the effect to give one Democrat the same representative value as two Republicans, in eleven counties?

I am told that a little curiosity lias been expressed at times as to the authorship of these letters. It is not easy to see why, as the letters have contained little to excite it. But like Fosco, "I sympathize with it," and unlike him, do not "decline to gratify it." In concluding them, therefore, I feel that it cannot be improper to reveal myself, and subscribe myself in full, the humble servant of the EXI*RESS and its readers,

THE advantages of litigation are finely illustrated in this item from a State exchange: "Two citizens of Medora, Jackson county, went to law about five years ago over a rail fence, th« outside value of which could not have exceeded $30. The case is now before the Supreme Court for final adjudication, and up to the present time the costs have exceeded $3,000."

It may be that the peculiar expensive* ness of this case is due to the fact that when the parties "went to law," they went "over a rail fence."

AN Associated Press (Western) telegraphic dispatch, published yesterday, conveyed to the expectant world the thrilling information that Terre Haute is passionately resolved to adopt the Holly Water works system. We have a faint, fond hope that the large property holders engaged will not forget to stipulate for enough brass valves. The able editors of Terre Haute should all be seen on this delicate subject. What's the use of waterworks without valves?—Cin. Commercial 1th.

If some of the Cincinnati editors would close their "brass valves" their readers would have cause for profound gratitude.

FROM a class of twenty-six at the New England Medical Colloge, at Boston, four women graduated with full honors yesterday. If the medical science is th# study of nature, woman in that arena will make that study two-sided instead of onesided. And this is eminently propei. Nobody disputes a woman's right to get sick. Who then could dispute her right to cure? Well, and if she kills, what then? Who will censure her for doing what the professionals of the other sex have been doing so long? Revenge is sweet, and none the less for a sweet woman.—Phil. Press, 3d.

Democrats who voted for Mack's fa mous resolutions on the subject of gift taking, etc., by President and Presidential candidates, cannot consistently support Mr. Hendricks for the Presidency, if "Buckeye's" story about him is true. These resolutions declare that any candidate for President— "—Who shall offer any reward or bribe, either di.ectly or indirectly, to procure his nomination, or shall promise any gift or appointment wiJi a view to procure his non Inalion or election as said President, shall be inelligible to such office."

Every Democrat in the 1I"IISP -tod for tbe resolutions. -Now it is ctly charged by a prominent Democrat, Mr. C. W. Woolley, who was a personal and confidential friend of Mr. Pendleton's, that Mr. Hendricks made a bargain with the bondholders of New York by which certain Cabinet appointments were to be given to the New York Democrats in case of the nomination and election of Mr. Hendiicks.

Mr. Woolley dares Mr. Hendricks or any other man, to deny his allegations. If the are true, Mr. Hendricks ii not fit to be President, according to the resolutions vo:ed for by the Democratic men bers of the Legislature. If they are not true, why does not Mr. Hendricks, or Mr. Tilden, of New York, step to the front and deny them? Mr. Tilden is the gentleman who, according to Buckeye's statement of the bargain, was to be Mr. Hendricks' Secretary of the Treasury.—lnd. Journal.

ueorge Pea body would have taken the thousand francs for a series of years, and perhaps have prided himself on living on the munificence of Baron de Tremont, whilst lie lavished his millious in charity If any demands were made on his hospitality he might have said with truth, "I am a poor man, you know. My incomc is only forty pounds a year, and even that depends on the caprice of the French Academy. At any moment -it may be give to some more deserving individual If you desire any number of thousand pounds for the relief of the poor, the extension of knowledge, the advance of literature and science, I am your man. But, really, I cannot afford to treat you to a glass of ale, much less to a bottle of Bur gundy-. I depend myself, in such matters, on the good will of my more fortunate friends who have money to spare, for the purchase of such vanities."

But perhaps the Baron intended in his wicked wit and will a more subtle sar casm than the obvious one. He was Parisian, living in the most luxurious of capitals, and accustomed to witness the spectacle of rich men expending their large incomes in the refinement of sensuality. He may have expected that the French Academy, composed generally of poor scholars who invest their moderate incomes, not in the gratification of their intelligence, would have taken his joke, and, with the masterly irony of the French scientific mind, would, with becoming gravity, have carried it out to .all its logical conclusions. Paris abounded with every variety of rich men, noble and plebeian, to some one of whom the thou sand francs might have been yearlybestowed with the same mock dignity with which Mr. Wilkins Micawber settles tbe indorsements on his notes of hand which Mr. Thomas Traddles, of the Inner Temple, has been deluded into giving, by solemnly delivering over to that estimable student of law a new note at three months,—Mr. Traddles, in the interim, being expected to take up in cash the notes ot Mr. Wilkins Micawber immediately falling due. Here, for instance, was one of the Paris bankers that Balzac delights to delineate hardheaded, cold-hcarted, selfish in the very core of his being —suppose that, in the course of a year, he might be induced to sacrifice a mistress order to purchase a picture or aid struggling man of science, or do anything whatever which indicated a desire to pass beyond the sphere of hiu five senses to the sphere of thought and imagination which the Academy was originally organized to promote and snstain,—why not tempt him with the hope of the glory which would result from the obtaining of the paltry thousand francs? Then, on the other side there was a haughty aristocrat, inclosed in the interest of his class, and looking at all human beings outside his social circle as outside humanity,— why not tempt him to use his opulence to enlarge his understanding and extend his sympathies? It is obvious that the Baron de Tremont's bequest might have been made the means of rousing the am bition of every class of the rich men of France without asking money simply for the benefit of others. The only thing re quired of such persons, when they were questioned as to the best use they had made of their opulence, would had been devoted to the gratification of their sensuality, or vanity, or pride, and how far they had been expended in building up their taste and intelligence. Inthe one case Monroe or Bowles might have gained the prize among the bankers and De Broglie or Montalembert among the nobles. Whether they would have enjoyed the distinction conferred by the thousand francs, is a question we will not open. At any rate the French Academy would, by carrying out the cynical Baron's bequ yearly be delivered of a piece of undoubted wit—a happiness which those French authors who do not belong to it strenuously insist it does not enjoy once in twenty years.

A yearly prize for "the rich man who makes the best use of his riches" 1—Oh" if we could only establish it in the United States! We should, of course, have to melt down the thousand francs into a gold medal and so keen is the thirst for distinction among our citizens suddenly enriched that perhaps there would be many earnest competitors every year for the prize. The board or academy which had the prize to give might do immense good if it aanded an increase of taste and intelligence in the spending of money as the sign that wealth had been worthily used. As it is, the lucky American who has become suddenly rich as respects money, and who still remains poor as respccts any knowledge of the mental and moral uses of money, is in what may be called a "tight fix." He is rarely miserly, and therefore spends like a prince. After buying mi cApeiiflvely ugly house, and filling it with expensively ugly furniture, ar.d decorating it with expensive ugly pictii "s, his inventive faculties come toastanri singleresource remains open to him, i. .iely, liorses and he ac(ordingly buys a new horse with every large addition to his income. There are hundreds and thousands of rich men in our country whose social position, as determined by their wealth and not by their culture, is blazoned by the number and value of their horses. Beyond horse flesh their idea.-, can not go and to drive as good and as many horsei as the millionaire is the feverish ambition of the clerks who, to become millionaires, "scorn delights and live laborious days." We need some Baron de Tremont to establish a prize which shall lift the souls of our uneducated rich men above horses, and inflame them with the nobler ambitions of taste and intelligence.—Every Saturday.

The* Wife.

Only let a woman be sure she is precious to her husband, not useful, not valuable, not convenient simply, but lovely and beloved let her be the recipient of his polite and hearty attentions, let her feel that her cares and love are needed, appreciated and returned let her opinion be asked, her approval sought, and her judgment respected in matters of which she is cognizant in short, let'her only be loved, honored and cherished in fulfillment of the marriage row, and she will be to her husband, her children and society, a well spring of happiness. She will bear pain and toil and anxiety, for her husband's love to her is a tower and fortress. Shielded and sheltered therein, adversity will have lost its sting. She may suffer, but sympathy will dull the edge of sorrow.
