The situation in New Hampshire has been such that the Democrats might nt any moment have plunged tho State in turmoil, an? archy and perhaps bloodshed, by simply imitating the tactics of the Republicans.

Serious trouble is brewing in Cuba on account of the non-payment of the royal troops. Tho Cardenas volunteers on their return from the C >lon campaign demanded their pay and were refused. The colonel of this regiment was Sonor Adriani, the Governor of /Garden's*, nnd a man <>f position and standing in the community. When no nionoy was forth? coming for the troops, the colonel was hooted by bis own me n, und insulted in various other ways. The $2,000,000 borrowed sonic time ago from the Spanish bank at Havana to pay the soldiers has been expended. Whether it all went in that direction or not, is the point in dis? pute. It is openly asserted in Havana that a portion of the amount was ship? ped to Spain by Gen. Valnnusoda. That is likely. . All fho Captain-Generals of Cuba have become rich in office. They used to levj* contributions on the run? ners of slaves into that island. When this placer was exhausted, they plun? dered the Government and people in other ways. .Since the nrqsuiit war has been in progress, dividends havo been extracted from nil public, moneys thnt passed through the hands of the officials. This fact, too long unknown to the peo? ple, is now in the possession of tho soldiers, and hence they are clamoring for their pay. And recent events at Cardenas look as if the volunteers were about to enforce their rights in .such a manner as to make matters decidedly uncomfortable. A Washington letter says: The im? pression at tin- Treasury Department is that the indictments against II. J>. Clsflin A. Co., rot smuggling, will be sus taincd. Cases against other large im? porters are now being worked up, and it is said at the department that the de? velopments will be much more astound? ing than in the case of the whiskey ring disclosures. Mr. Claflin is one of the pillars of Plymouth Church, and it was said that ho had expressed his willing? ness to contribute $1,000,000 to defend Bcecher. Notwithstanding his piety and his high social and mercantile stand? ing, the officers of the department claim thid they have proof that be has pur? chased largo quantities of smuggled .silks and other goods Qowm* oV Tira BttCTrira-Trxfow Tbtal. A special telegram to Forney's Sunday Chronicle aays: "The interest in the Bescher Til ton trial revives as tho argument of counsel druwB to a cloee, and intense feeling is manifested on both aides of the case. It is believed that tho Judge's charge will fix the noptilar opinion of?Beeoher's guilt, which.has always been strong; but all who understand men, and know the matorial of which Plymouth (fturch is composed, are convinced that the jhry have boon seen, and that it will fail to agree. This now seems to he a settled thing in the public mind. It will-be re? membered that the foreman of the jury declared, when empanneled, he did not believe Beccher guilty. lie formed that opinion on his prejudice in favor of Ply? mouth Church, and he has not, nur will not, change iL There are four other men like him on the jury, which will stand ?vc b>r acquittal and seven for conviction. Pets are running in some quarters that Ucet-her will get a ch ar verdict of acquittal, but this will not be the result. Mr. Beccher becomes more and more depressed as his trial draws to a close. Beach's speech hurt Beccher more than Tilton's evidence." It.h??..h'? the great preacher in his tendered place - his vanity." No matter what the men of New York, in their cynical way, jhay think,.of tlie guilt or innocence of' Mr. Bescher,-itis certain tlui^tbe Nav^orje ladies, as yet, have never w?vered in their steadfast de? votion to the great defendant. The strong arm which has too often upheld the average preacher from the beginning of the world to the present has jseeincd to be more of an earthly nature than oi that Higher Power to which one would reasonably expert kjin to turn.

But there is small hope of such a consumma? tion, however devoutly it inay be desired.

Tho ladies ral? lied' around tnl? banner of him of Ply? mouth and the gteat trial, and with a recklessness in explicable to a plodding mortal of the opposite sex, they, whee? dled, electioneered anil otherwise pro? cured votes sufficient to secure each of the canes for him.

In that famous vegetable remedy these three medicinal properties, are conimin-. gled with several others of a scarcely less important character, and hence it speed? ily euros every species of hypocondria arising from material causes, by remov? ing the cause themselves. In tho summer, when disorders of the stomach and bowels, bilious complaints and all disease* which affect assimilating and secretive organs are especially pre? valent, tho importance of having this invaluable tonic, alterative and correct? ive in every dwelling, and within tho reach of all who tnivcl by land or water, cannot be over-estimated.

Kebi,ct*b Motor.?This new invention, which, if successful, will revolutionize machinery and dispense with steam, is commented on by many correspondents.,. One of them son: Tho mcohsnicsj and scientific world has been greatly excited of lutsby the discovery of ajnew iriotivslt powe|;bv a Mr. John W. Keeloy, of this city. The' lately-discovered motor is generated, as the gentleman claims, from cold water and air, and evolves into a vapor more powerful than steam, and considerably more economical. It is projtosed by this new invention to revo? lutionize tho world, and turn machinery, topsy-luryy. Steam will be a, thiUK the p'a^t, and the wonderful power of this new creation will supply' all the needs of man for the uses to which steam is now apjdied. Just what this vapor is. and how it is made, the discoverer re? fuses to make plain or divulge bis hid? den secret, until he has b-tters patent taken out in all thecountries of the globe which i:isuc patent rights. This serviced alone will coHt about $!'0.?HK), and will not bo completed until three or four months hence. Mr. K. is very reticent on the subject of his discovery, and re? ferred your correspondent to his nttor-' noy, Charles Ii. Collier, Ksq. The latter gentleman Kaid that a private view of the working of tho motor had bof>n made on tho 10th of November, 1874. before a number of capitalist*, and that only three weeks since, another exhibition luul bum given liefore a number of gen tlemen from the New England Stated The latter were so Well pleased, with the ihod'i? operandi, and belie'ved so firmly < in the ultimate supontcdure of steam by [ the new power, that they formed a stock company, and purchased the patent right' for th* six New England States. 1 Mr. Keeley claims that this apparatus will generate cold vapor from water by mechanical appliances, without the use of chemicals. The water used is com? mon river, spring or well wst'-r," ond does not undergo any previous prepara? tion, a rubber hose from an ordinary hydrant to the generator bedng used bs n means of conveying the liquid. The peculiarity of this vapor is that if <>an be used to the best advantage at a pressure of from 20.1kxi to :U),<>00 pounds to the square inch. To the medianind mind this seems impossible. Yet such is the claim of Mr. Keeloy, and it has bee"n attested that such is the fact by genrie en who are held to be mechanical ex ?rts of the highest grade. The. mini who killed more negroes during the war than any other man was a loyal Union soldier, one-of two brothers belonging to a Michigan regiment. At York town, a negro sharp-shooter in the' service of the Confederacy, perched in a tree, pie-ked Off one of the brother*, and, though the negro was discovered n few minutes. biter and shot by the Michigan boys, the surviving brother swore eter? nal vengeance upon the ?-ntire negro race, nnd from that hour devot- d him? self to its extermination. The . exact numbe r of negroes put out of the way by this mau would bo astonishing if it could be known, and ho was never once de tocted in. his murderous work by any one who cared to report him. Three of his sable victims found a grave in the Ohio, and the soil of-ela^ic-Jelfersonvillc drank the blood of others, but he ope? rated wherever his regiment happened to be stationed, silently and effectually putting the objects of his hatred out of the way as often as nn opportnnitv offered.
