SEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTI05. Belknap'* Sins not to be Visited upon ThCi Party.-Tlie Bepnbl eats Victorious, Fears wore entertained that t lie exposures at Washington would have .such a damaging effect u; on the e'ettion in New Hampshire, that it was questioned whether the republicans could carry the State on Tuesday, but it is evident from the partial returns that have already been re eeived that they have gained a sweeping victory. The republicans have made gains ii?ahuost eveiy town in the State. The democratic roosters are all sick. Republican majority 3,000. Indiana will present Hon. 0. P. Morton, as a candidate for president to the Cincinnati convention. He will carry considerable stiength with him into the convention. The English papers needn't read us any homilies about the Washington corruptions being the result of the workings of Democratic institutions. The most thoroughly corrupt Government in the world in its administrative affairs is Russia, which is a purely one man despotism. The British Government has been worse tnan that of the United Suites. Grant, is ? saint compared with George IV. Belknap, : the Secretary of War, sold some offices . through his wife. The second son of ' George III, the Duke of York, while in the same position, three-quarters of a century ago, allowed a large portion of the contracts and a large number of the offices to be disposed of by his favorite mistress. Mrs. Clark, as was proven to his disgrace lefore a Parliamentary and legal inves ligation. The A tic# and Courier takes a very sensible view of the Centennial and the South, by showing what an effect the ex* hibition of her resources will have in drawing the attention of strangers who will visit the centennial, who may thus be induced to invest their capital here, and illustrates this by the impetus given to Tennessee by the exhibition of her minpruls at the Vienna Exposition, which caused $1,200,000 of capital to be invest ed.ra that State the following year. A large portion of the Southern press xhavc ridiculed the idea of this Centeuniahexhibition, but it will be seen that those Southern States that make the best display will derive the greatest benefit from the investments that will be made in this country by foreigners during the.year'next succecdiug this exposition. The South cauuot stand aloof without \ injury to herself. j So.VK of our up country exchanges are beginning to look at Port Royal in the right light. The Progressive Age this week calls attentiou to the importance of having commuuicatiou from the interior portion of the State, by railroads counect "ing with the Port Royal R. R., and "are satisfied that life and vigor could be imparted to our waste places by coiumuication with any point capable of sustaining direct trade with Europe, and such thi.port most undoubtedly promises." ItcoudSudcs with the following ju>t tribute to the energy of the two gentlemen in whose hands this road is at present: "Since the P. R. R. R. has passed into the management of ir.s present direction urd *r Pre.-i leut Wilson and Super' ? tendent Plcmming, its prospects are said to have brightened, showing what live railroad men can do with an honest ad ministration of the public trusts." I Judge Mackey, has always been con I sidered a wann friend but an iujplacable enemy,?a man of contradictions?a man 1 of such versatile attainments that the p> ople would not be surprised at anything that he might do. On the bench he has pursued a very cratic course, taking unto himself powers that were never intended to belong to any judge, it) some instances making hiuiselfjuuge, jury, and prosecutor, in fact such is his temperament that. it would not be Mackey if he acted other j wise. | An attempt has recently been made for an investigation, an initiatory step for his impeachment, but it has fallen through, not from any inherent love or respect that the members hold for him, but from the circumstances .that surrounded some ofj his accusers, that cast suspicion on the ] motives that actuated them. It fails, and ! immediately Judge Mackey orders the | arrest of one of his accusers, Treasurer j Yocum, on the train near Chester, to an | awer charges, that he had himself made against him of defrauding the county of I Chester by abstracting and re-issuing u?-1 ca nee Hod school certificates, for years tu which a tax for deficiencies had been levied. Judge Mackev, in his circular, to tin ' Lo^i.JiituR has already pronoun*, cd Yo i cuui guilty, a id as the impropuery of sit ting on the hencli when this case is tried may not occur to him, we call attention j to it. Treasurer Yoeuui mnv he guiltv of' all that is charged against him. hut a fair ; and impartial trial is guaranteed to him by the constitution of the State, and it I would he aiecredirting Judge Mackey with superhuman powers to say that he could I ; now enter into this case devoid of preju; dice. I Legislative Notes. i ! Nothing of interest but investigation. The impeachment of Montgomery Moses I Jrm-Ve nlniur. From I Mill."* Ultimo ll.A .1 .-.V"..,. the evidence so far, it looks as if the judge will be brought in guilty. It is a j pity that a judge cannot live on a salary j of&4, 500 without having to borrow so 1 much money. The Maokey investigation looking to* wards his impeachment has fallen through by a vote of 34 to 14. Treasurer Voeum o! Chester will have short shrift now h' Maekcy is |>ermittcd to preside at his trial. The committee that is investigating the official conduct of Judge Heed is hard at work. They have not yet made any report. The atmosphere ot Columbia is thick with investigation. The act to character the Ladies Island and Coosaw River Mining Co., has been ratified by the governor as has also the act to charter the town of Brunson. Messrs. Hayne Sloau and Boston have been appointed a committee to investigate Solicitor Buttz of the first circuit No signs of adjournment yet. Beaufort Tolice Courl. Ills Honor was a lit Je bit out of sorts this week, the boys knew it at a glance and the Marshal evidently felt it keenly, when he brushed past him without poking his ribs, or even winking or smiliug ouce. Tiie bloom of youth had a * ? .i . grayish cast, and it struts us mm prubablv, sonic one had palmed off on hiui an inferior brand. We noticed that lie did not play with his eyeglasses with his accustomed sprightliucss. He was ahead of time, and the Marshal had not yet marshalled his host of offenders against the numerous ordinances that the council amend, repeal aud re-enact with such striking regularity. He gave a faint smile of recognition, as he passed us before taking his seat, and we thought we might venture a few remarks, and probably draw him out'as to the cause of the change we noticed on his fair yet man. ly brow. ''Rather cold this morning. Judge. ' "Yes lather," he-slowly replied and began to tap the table with his pencil, ihe end of which he had already chewed into a shapeless mass. What do you think of the situation now, " lie said "judicial investigation appears to be abroad in the land, in fact it is epidemical. They have got Judge Montgomery Moses 011 the hip, and .Mac-key, if he was a less shrewd man. would have been in* vestigated long ago. Then there is Judge Reed. If that man Courtcuay continues to write such letters, as lie has recently I don't know but Judge Reed will be put through the mill, in fact as 1 said before judicial investigation has taken an epidemic form. Why, sin they'll investigate me next. " Ho was evidenty getting excited, and thinking to calui hiui we said, " It might do some good, " referring to the investigation ol the other judges, and uot to his Honor of the Beaufort Police Court. " Do some good, no sir ! " he indignantly replied' "1 ..Unll nn rirrlif r\V._ ill tllO OOUl"Sfi T have J. siiaii gv nf,... v, ... mapped out for myself. I aui determined to make Beaufort, the most peaceful town iu the Union. Xo Sir !?do some good?Xo Sir ! '' Mr. Marshal, bring in c prisoners. '' u Xow Robert Stoney, I have had my ?$es on you for a long time. I know I you make a stray dime now and againi but the trouble is you do n?t make enough of them, so you have been arrested for vagrancy, for having no visible means of support. It is a very grave offense, which is assuming gigantic projjor. tious, in fact only last night on uiy way home, I saw three young men clinging very lovingly to lamp posts, which wathe only thing that prevented me having the 111 arrested on a similar charge. Can you lay bricks, Robert ? '' "1 do'no ?SiY I replied Robert. " I thought not " said the court. " You don't know anything and ought to be sent to school, but then rhat sea wall must be built. " " MrMarshal, turniug to that official who had slyly appropriated. His Hinor's eyeglasses, and was amusing himself ly holding a mock court with the police offi' cere, and did not respond immediately to His Honor's call. 41 Mr. Marshal, .take j this youngster and introduce him to the boss of the board of public works, and tell him to make a bricklayer of him in the next ten days. " ''Emanuel Sauches, your offence is a i very dangerous pastime, prohibited by i the wise and good men, who are associated with me in the government of this municipality. You have been caught dis-i Ir? fKIs Ciwii ?itrl if IM1UI?IIJ? Ult XI IU>J JK tuw your youth did i*ot plead for you, I would send you to loiter round the sea wall lor seven days, but I was youn? myself once, and so shall discharge you on ; promising not to appear hetore uicagain." "John Lewis, you say you acquired the habit oi' shooting in the streets, with Sherman, and cannot get over it. I am sorry for you. habits are easily formed cspeeially when they are bad ones.''?'"Now jf I was the President,"?and his Honor has consideral le ambition?,;I would do- i elare war on Cuba just to accommodate j such fellows as you, but I am only the j president of this court. Put still I can I accommodate you iu the guardhouse for j seven days, which 1 will, unless you dc-1 posit with the chancellor of the town ex- j chequer, five dollars and costs. " "Allied Plyun. y u are a trjugcrii. tli .' town, and my officers have taken you in. They say you have not a cent, and there- 1 fore you should not stay round here. Wc j, call it vagrancy. But you have a bright i and promising countenance, and as a [ friend of'mine lias paid a small fortune I for the privilege of selling pop corn at the I great centennial, if you will promise to ' leave the town, I will discharge you and i give you a letter of introduction to him, and he will give you a job. Start right now, and avoid populous cities like Beaufort, where her lynx-eyed officers may nab you, and you will get there before the ; great show opens." And he went. | "Jim Williams, you are an industrious j i young man;" said his Honor, putting on one of his blandest smiles. 4 'You are evidently a good hand at taking down bricks, i as you made a pretty large hole in j the guardhouse wall last night.. It is a J pity that you arc charged with vagrancy, ! or I might make you boss of the public ; works at the sea wall, and in my opinion j your crime is tlie more henious because i of your failure to escape, but if you bad 1 the town would have lost your valuable services for the next ten days. Mr. clerk. I put five dollars and costs, or ten days, op! posite this young man's name." 'This I court now stands adjourned," and his Honor left the bench, and came over to where wc were standing aud renewed the conversation as to the impeachment of i his brothers of the circuit courts. ?-3?* Last Thursday night the house of the Rev. Frederick Jonc , was entered and his gold watch, pants and pocket book stolen. No clue as .vet to the thief.
