In seventy-one towns heard from they gained 1,1 >5 votes in com pari, on witl the previous c!ection. >.v V'A fourth term Governor.'* Tlic democrats victorious in New Hampshire.' The above were the head lines of the notice of the election in Connecticut in the A?c* and Courier. The editor must have iNow Hampshire on the brain. How would the officers and men of the fleet like to drink Savannah river water? Dysentery and malarial fever decoction at only the cost of dipping it up with a ^bucket. A naval station on the Savannah river would be the means of establishing a new national cemetery. .?? Col. U. II. Jones, of the Macon Tele ffrajtk, makes a slight error as to the water supply at Port Royal to-the navy. He states that the fleet are supplied with water transported from Charleston at an ex pense of two cents per gallon. The wat-.v used by the fleet is procured from sprin.s on Port Royal Island, and costs a cent a:iu a half per gallon, but Savannah could no: furnish water of the same quality at any price. Till 28th of June next is the centennial anniversary of the battle of Fort Moultrie. Under the auspices of the Palmetto Guard, Capt. G. Lamb Buist. the occasion is to be celebrated with great pomp and circumstance in Charleston by the unveiling of an appropriate and tasty monument on White Point Garden. The glories of Fort Moultrie are a fit supplement to those of Bunker Hid, upon the heels of which followed close the Declaration of Independence and made Massachusetts and South Carolina inalienable then! why not now? A fair in aid of the funds of the association to erect the monument is to be held in the ' City by the Sea" on the 18th ol April.

No exhibition of ti e industries cf a country would be complete without her newspapers and nothing will so readily show the striking advancement the country has uiade in the last ceutury then the proposed comprehensive exhibit of her newspaper literature. Wi publish this week a letter from D. F. Appleton, E*i,, of New Y tk. in reference to public spirit and enterprise at Port Royal. Id reference to the threat of tearing up the track at a place between Port Royal and Beaufurt, it will be condemned by every one. The parties got judgment against the road for right of way, amounting with costs to $450. It was generally understood that the right of way ail been amicably settled prior to the purchase by these litigants, who purchased ten acre.of land for seventeen dollars. The road cuts ofi a small angle of this tract of about three quarters of an aere, which if as ad judged by the court to be worth $250 what must be the increased value of the remaining nine and a quarter acres in consequence of the railroad running through it. That man who attempts or advises the tearing up of the track deserves to be transported to a spot in some vast wilderness where no railroad could ever disttirb his slumber,?to the jungles of interior Africa for instance. At present the U. S. courts have inter fcred and enjoined the parties from committing such an act of van ali-m. The natiou has been plundered to theextent of millions of dollars by dishonest Democratic officials, many of these official now holding high place in the estimation of their party friends. Bo.'s Tweed, with his $J0,00O,uuo stolen from the tax-pay era of New York, was an apt m holar of modern Democracy. Intrusted to the custody of a Democratic sheriff, who hud enjoyed iu other days the princely hospitality of the persecuted official, the Bos disappeared betwccu dark aud dayligh months ago. and nothing has bet-u heard from him sin-e. It is beiiexed 1\ many hut he is still in New York city, to 'jv; . r: - ,k? ^ "v *** I" -' V *.w r VTUi" : : ' ' : . . i la I }k-J>-v;i a ;! > > ;' :!?!

There is not an I instance on record where tin4 Republican i party shielded an official known to be J dishonest. Ot'P. contemporary the Tribune lias dis covered a pretty big marc's nest, and ad I ded a chapter to the headstones investii gat ion by calling attention to the quality : of the tnaibic which he calls mupstonr furnished to the National CVmctery at . Beaufort, and complains that the stone is ! so soli that large pieces chipped off i:i j unloading, and the lettering was too deeply cut in some eases, an 1 nor deep enough j in o hers, so that the in-eription.s were ilj legible. We .-aw these stone; daily whil-t I they were unloading an 1 lid not discover 1 this great tcndvr.ey to chip, and on visit{ing .lie cemetery *.vc failed to discover a ; single stone dr.-figured by being chipped j in the slightest degree. | These stones were quarried, lettered. shipped to Beaufort, carted about a mile 1 to the cemetery, where they were set in j the ground, and five stone cutters from I Charleston have been engaged for one | inont who have gone over every stouc ' bi-veiling the edges, and yet the cost to | the government has only been three doll lars and forty cents per stone for those j lettered, and two dollars and forty cents j for the posts to mark the graves of the i unknown. Many of tlie-e slabs would ! rate as statuary marble, and the majority j as A. !. commercial ma ble, and but a j small proportion would rate as third cla,is j commercial marble. ; If rejecting these ' tones is to be a test ; of honesty, we are afraid that but few if j any would stand the test in this county, and we fear our contemporary would have | had to stapd down on that score it he had visit d the cemetery before he wrote his L.st week's article. Most of the noise made about 3?rrup: tion in the headstone business is by disappointed parties who had aspired for thi : eon net, and if we are not mistaken on: j contemporary spent two weeks a: least i lobbying in Washington for a contract at j fourteen dollars per stone, but we don't : know whether he knew how to work the f rudiments of "addition, division and silence," with which lie charges one of the j contractors, at least he catuc back n disj appointed man. | We wish we could vouch as well for , kind of bones that are marked by these J headstones, as we can for the kind of j marble used, and in passing we behove 1 the writer of the article in the TriOune ; had something to do with tho.-e bones, ! atpl we would rather make the rejection | of the bones a test of honesty than the re(jection of the headstone*, as more war : paid for bones than lbr tlie stones.

(1, March 23, lS7f? j To th> IWaui'rnt awl M- mhrr* of the liep tiblt a at Convention of Beaufort Conn(i kn'ti.fmkn :?In view of the con line campaign, where the Republican party is again confidently expected to eir:v off the ! palm, it behooves every true Republican to do everything in his power to assist in rendering the success of his party as sweeping and complete as you have helped to make it several times before, and a j from it< past record it deserves to be again ! furnishing us with the guarantee of a fui ture successful administration of the afj fairs of our country and State. Encouraged 1 y their success in gaining control of the National House of Repie scntatives, our opponents arc preparing j for a strenuous effort not merely to pre" I serve the advantages already obtained, j but to clevt its President; and thus get the do tinies of the nation in their hands. The speeches and votes of their leading men in Congress, show that their principles are essentially unchanged, and that their success would imperil all that has j been gained by the late war and t he sub. j sequent legislation in behalf of human j rights. The magnitude of the interests j we have at stake should rouse each lie i publican voter to the utm ).,t vigilance and activity. In consequence of the increased accumulation of important badness before the National House of Representatives, j where I endeavor to serve your interests j to the bist of my ability, it will be impos I sible for me. to be with you. but knowing the interests of the patty are in competent ! hands and under the immediate gnat dianship of each individual Republican voter, I trust that the desired result* wil! be attained and con6 lent'y hope thatthi.meetii.g as well as those which will short!y follow for the election of a President of ) j the United States, your Representatives in Congress and members of the S'are | Legislature, will be conduced in that i peaceful and orderly manner, devoid oi i personal and party feeding, and from the ! beginning to the time when you will again reach your homes, worthy of a body of men whose aim is first of all the peaceful fulfillment of their duty in the selection ! of men iti whose care they connde-itly de1 -ire to place their personal rights and those of their families, the welfare of j their State anu the good government of ' their country. I congratulate you as Republicans, upl on the suece^ that has been nobly ; achieved by the Republican party in the i late New Hampshire election which vie/ J torv was in every respect synonymous 01 I the future victory which will he won by ! our party, the party of freedom au<l jus; tice, in the fail of our centennial year, j and the victory which our party so nobly. I fought for and successfully won, I hope j will encourage you in your struggle for the supremacy of the State, and the triumphs of' honest government. I aui respectfully. Your Obd't. Serv.t., Kurt.

Ho had also called their : attention to the fart that they hail invai riahle elevated to*'hose positions Whipper's inferiors, and th.y advocated his i election on the ground not only that he i was a colored man but that he was the s iperiorofhis opponent who has on several J occasions since his election disgraced the I judicial ermine and the party who elected 1 him. lie was proud of the man who afj tor being elected had the courage to say i that be would prefer death rather than resignation, and he would go as far as j any other mar. to support him in his tiob'.e resolve. These rcsolutii n met with his approbation. and he would that they i hud been stronger. Mr. Idampfield followed, repudiating ; the assertion that^Mr. Whipper was not i qualified. He had supported him the , fjrst lime. and ha 1 becu defeated, so they I tried again and succeeded * nd he felt proud at the position that Mr. Whip! per occupied and no man could have aej ted more nobly than he had since hi.j election.

[Prom vjr Sp-fciai 0. respondent.] A wonderful chance has taken place in I the general appearance of tne exposition j grounds since the first of last month* Many hundred yards of asphaitum walkj have been laid; ground .which has been covered for months with lumber aud a:I I kinds of debris, or rutted and burrowed bv teams has been cleared awav, leveled i ... and sodded, scaffoldings hare been re| moved from almost all the buildings, j while the finishing coats of paint which i have been administered on a"; side? give : to the whole scene an aspect of rest and i completion. Inside of ninny of the buil j dings the scene is of course very differou,* j In the machinery Ha l moil arc laying ! foundations for the hevier exhibits and | placing other ones in order as fa..t as the;, arrive. For a time the American mate I I rials came in a very slowing, bat of late j there has been a ru^li which mx have j caused confusion had it n:>t been tl^it ah ; arrangements are systematic and complete. In the Main Hall large show cases, j miniature castles, turrets and palaces. ; and pavilions of every description are still in the course of construction. In j memorial Iiail, the layingofa few tile and , the addition of a finishing touch here and j there will render the wails ready for the ; works of art which arc to grace them. I Horticultural Hall has already received . flowers from the tropics, mosses from the i frigid zone and choicest plants from every where, while the reception of vegetable; ; will not interfere with the little painting which still remains to make the Agricultural Hall complete. Much anxiety is i felt on account of tardiness with which j American exhibitors are bringing forward | their material, and as everything else wil' j without doubt be in readiness by the j opeping day, it would be little less than ; a disgrace to American industrial and t mercantile enterprise should those to | whom spaces have been allotted fail to fulfill their engagement* before the ine' vitablc nisli and confusion of the firs! i few weeks in Ma v. Great consternation J wi.j'Sprcad among the foreign cotnmisj sioncrs and exhibitors when they learned lust week that, from an insufficient force of examiners at the custom house, their ! goods would have to be stowed awa-.* in j bonded warehouses, and their transfer to | the centennial grounds iudefineteiy post| pane l. |?iongres<. wlien applied to failed to ! grant the necessary appropriation P>r an enlargement of the custom ht.u e force by 1 -I'?men, but at last the centennial en r lnissioners, seeing what a di.-astcrotis effect the delay ami breakage incident upon storage would have upon the exhibition, took upon themselves the responsibilty of j>:iying the lb roe temporarily, relying upon Congress to reimburse tin m. The " Labrador, " one of the largest of the French line of steamers arrived here oil the refill of March, laden with over 3.000 ton* of exhibit for the cuttennin). mostly consisting of wprks of art from the Soeicfe dc?

The musical attractions of the city both i ! connected with the exposition and separj ate from it, are of groat number and of | the highest order. An open air concert j j composed of an orchestra of t">0 pieces : and a chorus of nearly bOO voices will be j one of the chief attractions of the open-1 I ing day. The selections for the occasion j ' arc the " Centennial Grand Maich " Ly j : Wagner, by the orche-tra, for which the | Woman's Centennial Bureau arc to pay the modest sum of $5,000; the 4' Centen , j n'a!

Theodore Thomas. with the aid of Mr. i j Buck has the management. | The same orchestra and chorus will j | present a inoro elaborate programme on ; the-1th of July. Three magnifieient or-! ! garis are to be placed in the Main Nail. J | one in each end. and one in the North ' ' trance;it, which will be used as an accompaniment for the grand chorus.

Rehearsals for the chorus have already commenced under Mr. Buck, who says that in his long experience he has never had a finer collection of voices to work with. The cantata is a noble effort and cannot fail to give its author at least a national reputatiou. N g itiati m.i a?e pending, with every prospect of success, relating to tho feasibility of daily concerts upon tho grounds. For this purpose it is proposed to erect a line music pavilion in the ravine tiea* Horticultural Hall, upon :he most iui- j proved plan which thorough study of the science of a acoustics can suggest and h*vc presented there daily the finest orchestul and military luu-ic which can be obtained.
