RUMOR OF RIOT AND BLOODSHED. Aumorous Incidents of the Election. REPUBLICAN JOLLIFICATIONS President Grant Sends His Congratulations. THE BATTERED DEMOCRACY. Concorp, March 12, 1872, The eventful political contest which has attracted the attention of the country during the last few Weeks is now over, and all the visions of a demo- cratio triumph fave vanishea into the thinnest kind of thin air, The dominant party of the nation is sustained, Grant and his administration emphatically vindi- cated, and the republicans everywhere have reason to rejoice and hosrah to the full extent of their vocal powers. THE RESULT A PARTY VICTORY. That the resuit of the con‘est has been a most unmistable party victory there is not the slightest doubt, and althougn the State 1s very evenly divided in the matter of republican and democratic believ- ers, there is no use in denying the fact that when a fall vote 13 brought out the “triumphant party of to- day 18 a trifie in the majority. EVERYBODY ASTONISHED, The magnitude of this victory, as slignt as tt is, has astonished everybody, and none more than the republicans themselves, for there were very few who believed until this afteraoon the election would be decided by the vote of the people. Both purties went to the polis with alternate ap- prehensions of defeat and victory, and not until late in the day did elther one dare taunt the other with weakness or insignificance, THE DAY INAUSPICIOUS. The day itself was inauspicious for an election. It was cold, raw and cloudy, and in the afternoon was rendered still more dismal and uncomfortable by a blinding show and a chilly wind which piercea one to the very marrow. The voters came out early though, and in large numbers, and in all the cities and towns throughout the State there was an excitement and interest Characteristic only of an uncertain and momentous political campaign, BOTH PARTIES ARMED CAP-A-PIE, i The republicans had their rallying committees at every voting place and the democrats had theirs, 4nd both were commendably vigilant and inaus- trious, and undoubtedly did effective service for weir respective parties. The polis opened generally throughout the State at nine o'clock and closed at four. Only in the small and doubtful towns were any counts made unt! the voting was over; bat in these tsolated cases the result was such as to foreshadow a repub- lican victory. + PRELIMINARY SCIRMISHING. In many of the towns the election of a mode- rat&¥ an ofictal who presides over the voting, is an indication of what the general vote will be, and these preliminary symptoms of the result are promptly telegraphed to the hea 1quarters of the re- spective parties. Thus tt was to-day, and the re- tarns from the very beginning indicated that the brief career of the New Hampshire democracy was destined to mortality. THE FIRST GUN. Charlestown, almost the first place heard from, was wonderfully significant, Last year it was strongly democratic; but to-day the sentiments of the people had been so changed that they rolled up @ republican majority of about fifty. Other towns which a year ago were democratic were reliably hi crien as having turned completety around, and in the old republican strongholds there came: accounts of astonishing and unexpected gains. In fact, everything seemed to indicate what the final result has proved to be. There were only rare instances of gains on the other side, and in what few there were the majori- ties reported were surprisingly small. THE DEMOCRACY WEAKEN, ‘The democracy took in the situation at once, and admitted that their defeat was an absolute one. Those who in the morning were enthusiastic and sanguine now clearly saw “that it was all up with them,’’ and in the place of cheerful countenances there were multitudes of faces which indicated sad and disappointed nearts. Tney realized that 1a their victory of a year ago and the event of to-day was an admirable illustration of a brithant pyrotechnical display. The bad almost literally “gone up like a rocket and come down like a stick.” The victory which they’ had achieved alter and years of faithful and energetic was, indeed, but mo- mentary, and each and everyone of the defeated must have involuntarily said to himself, If T was so soon done for I wonder what I was begun for? HOPE DEFERRED. As the shades of twilight began to settle down over the granite hills a few, very few, lingered, in the hopes that intelligence from some of the back counties might be more cheering. But it was not so. Every additional return only added to the gen. eral democratic despair and dismay. Only now and then was there a democratic gain, Everything was republican and every telegram only added unit after unit and ten alter ten to the already astonish. Ing majority for Mr. Straw.

A band of music was on hand and played lively and inspiring and cheer after cheer went up a8 the various talkers gave vent to their feelings. GENERAL WALTER HARRIMAN, he 1s called, once Governor of the State and now ‘al OMicer of the Port of Boston, was the princl- pal among the many speakers. He recalled the dark days of the rebellion; stated that the demo- crats who were defeated were tn when the guns of the federal forces were turn upon Fort Sumter, and confidently affirmed that now that New Hampshire had become republican it would rematn so for @ quarter of a century. Barnard, of Franklin, and others, who followed General Harriman, expressed siwilar ideas, and the meeting adjourned amid great enthusiasm, Karly in the morning the Republican Committee were apprised by telegraph of A DISORACEFUL OUTRAGE in the town of Lisbon, on the part of some enthusl- astic and bloodthirsty democrats, The facts, as they were reported, aré to the effect that late text evening a Mr. Fisk, a republican resident o we two wok anotner § republican over to Littleton, that he might take the cars for his home in Lancaster in season to deposit nis vote to-day.

Of course an election, such as that which has taken place to-day, could not be without humorous incidents, The lame and halt and bilnd, every- body, in fact, except smallpox patients, were trotted up to the polis in the interest of the respective po- litical parties, Some were brouznt in carriages, and in one instance, which came under my personal observation, one man was actually carried from his house to the wardroom on a litter covered with Disnkees and compelled to deposit his vote in favor of “THE SUCORSSOR OF ANDREW JACKSON, BR GAD.!” Ward Six, however, where the redoubtable Gene- ral Donohoe, of well known ratiroad and_ political celebrity in this State, nas long heid sway, furnished some Of the moat amusing incidents of the cam- gn. One poor old Irishman, who swears by the eneral in preference to kissing the cook, Was called upon by & vote canvasser while in the act of sawing wood and asked if he didn’t wish 10 vote, “An shure I do, begorra,’’ was the reply. “Bub is the O’Donohue at the polls?’* “Yes, the General is there.” “Well, thin, i’ll go wid ye," suiting the action to the word and adjusting his apparel as ne spoke. “Pl go wid ye now.” “ub, you'll vote for the democrats, will you?” “If General Donnyhue says so, 1 will shure, or me name is not Mike Doyle.” And so the old tellow jacked his way up to the polls, was patted on the ack by the General, deposited nis vote and re- tired with the haney: consciousness that he had done all that tn him lay to perpetuate tne lair fame of the General and the state of New Hampshire, ARTFUL DODGING.

Hours passed away, but John did not return. Finally, as the day waxed and a glimmering of the true state of affairs seemed \ouawn upon the oid gentleman, a messenger rode up to the house with a telegraphic despatcn, of which the following 18 an accurate copy:— CANAAN, Vt.

Various answers are offered, but the most reasonavly one embraces @ multitude of reasons. Last year the republicans were divided among themselves on sev- eral locai questions, and their gubernatorial candi- date, Mr, Pike, was a Methodist preacher, and con- sequently, if there was any denominational teeling republican ranks the party suffered by bis nomination. Farthermore, he was a radical pro- hibittonist,’and the itberal republicans were opposed to him on that account.

Mr. Sumner was of opinion that Grant was stronger with the people than is desirable, and that to insure success in the Canvass it will be necessary to go belore the people to demonstrate the misdoings of the President.

The con- ferences, 80 far, have included only the recalcitrant Senators, the members of the House not yet having shown the courage to kick out of the traces; though Governor Biair, of Michigan, and a few others have been talking very earnestly and loudly for some tume. The Conference busied itself more with dis- cmsstons of the best way to get a crowa at Cincin- nati than with the prinoiples or eandidates of the Coulltion, which, 1¢ 18 expected, will be formed, Sumner, Trumbull, Schurz, Fenton and Tipton were at the Conference on saturday and most of them again to-day, They have agreed not to abide by the action of the Philadelphia Convention if it nominates Grant, but to look to Cincinnati for @candidate and success, A disposition to accept Judge Davis as the candidate is manifested; but this matter 1s held in abeyance, Mr. Sumner 1s understood to favor Davis as tho candidate, and to say that if his advice is taken and the canvass vigorously pushed that even Massachusetts can be carried against Grant. Mr. Schurz 1s qually sanguine of the German element. The unhappy Senators believe that Parker will not accept the nomination of the labor party tor Vice President, and that this place will te given to the Cincinnati: Convention if it decide to ratify Judge Davis’ nomination. Fen- im young | ton will probably receive the nomination if this course be adopted. ‘The election in New Hampshire has not dampened the ardor of the enemies of Prostaent Grant, and the democrats accept tt as a decree of the inevitable necessity of a coalition with the discontented republicans, They see no hupe for the democracy asa party, and express themselves to-night as heartily in favor of tne action contemplated by the recal- citrant republican Senators in thelr conferences on Saturday and to-day. The New Hampshire election was waited for by all parties as an Index of strength, and while the friends of the administration are Jubilant and assert that Grant will be elected by an overwhelming majority, its enemies are not inclined to look unfavorably upon the situation, and declare that the republican victory in that State will pro- voke renewed opposition and concentrate ali the hostile elements, At the same time there is no disguising the cha- grin of poth the democrats and the aiscontented re- publicans with the nomination of Judge Davis. Trambull was the choice of all the men who took part, in the beginning, in the movement ior a coall- tion, ana they give him up not without bitterness, and only give him up because they see iu Davis their only chance of success. This is understood to be the reason forno decided movement in behalf of a candidate and the bending of every energy to make the outward demonstration at Cincinnati im- posing. The Vice Presidency—Opposition to Colfax— Senator Scott Talked Of. A strong movement against Mr. Colfax as the republican candidate for Vice President is develop. ing, and a combination is forming to make Senator Scott, of Pennsylvania, the second man on the Uvket, This course, it is declared, will be generally acceptable to the Eastern States and conciliate ail the hostile elements in Pennsylvania, satisfying Tom Scott, Cameron and Forney, and even healing the McClure breach in Philadelphia. The elevation of Senator Scott to the Vice Presidency would make a vacancy in the Senate which could be given to Forney without dis- turbing Cameron, It is generally understood that tne White House 1s unfavorable to Colfax, and if ne is beaten the nomination will probably be given to James F. Wilson, Henry Wilson or Senator Scott. ‘This 1s @ new element of trouble, apd it 1 tmposst- ble to tell what may come of It 4 0'5 2ITTN" The Railroad Lobb 4 Its Strength in the es?

Mr, Kerr wanted the proceedings of the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco in re- gard to the proposed bili read, but Mr. Wheeler refused to entertain any proposition, and demanded the previous question, The motion was then made to lay the bill on the table aud lost, when Mr, Wheeler's motion to recommit was carried.
