TUB SLEW corwrir HILL, - ' The bill providing for the forma tion of new counties has passed both hranches of the lAgislatnre and will: 'undoubtedly - ' receive the sanction of the Governor, as it is a general law. The new law provides that new counties may he erected with ad area of 400 square mil& and a popula tion of 20,000. It is just what Mr. HERDIC deaired; and will. result in giving him his new county.: For this state of affairs we are largely in debted to Senator Rocuwer.r., who strenuously opposed a provisitin re quiring the petition fora snriey of a new county to deSignato the. county 'seat. The Senator'e, action in the matter gives ground for more than a suspicion that Mr. Hume's public declaration that Mr. RoCEWELL was elected in his interest, was true. We hope he may be able to satisfactorily explain his position to his constitu ents, but in the absence of good :proof to the contrary we must be per mated to believe that be lute basely betrayed llot only the people of. Troy, lint the whole county. 10ai readers will remember that we charged, dui ing the last canvass, that Hr. Bons- WEIL was a candidate imthe interest of HERDIC'S nd.irious schemes to dis member the coney. We have not the. fall Proceedings on the bill befOre us, but hope that :our members in the lower House have preserved their integrity and can show a clear record. • THE VIEGIFIIII3 Ayntra---Thn follow ing are the main points in agreement made between our Govornment and Spain in regard to the Virginias af fair: First-j-Tbe Spanish GovernMent engage to deliver to that of the Unit ed States , the sum of $80,000; in coin, or 400,000 .pesetas, for the purpose of- relief of the families or , persons of the ships company and passengers aboard of the steamer Virgil:ans. ; Second—The Government of the United States engages to accept the sum mentioned - in satisfaction of reclamations of any sort which, in the sense of pecuniary indemsifica lion in this behalf, might otherwise be advanced against the Spanish Government. Third-r-When the sum referred to in article 1 shall hare beep received, the President of the United 'States will proceed to diatrihntsk Eh& alma among the families o persons inter ested, in the form andinanner,which he may judge most equ#able, with 'ont being - obliged to give an, account 'of this distribution ,to the ; Spanish Government.

TT is well in passing to calleAten !lon of oar merchents and manufac turers and bnsiness men generally to the fact that every Democratic Rep resentative in' Congress card his vote against the tariff and tax bill andi opposed its passage to the end. And yet there are , men • blind 4.151.0114 to ARAI Ml' to rrnl . The following discussion of the new county bill took place in the Senate on Fridarlaet • The consideration Of - ' the b ill pro viding for the establishment of new (mantles jn this oointivaareitlth eine upon second reeding, On tnotionof ?tr. Cooper the name of the goVernor was substituted for that of, the auditor general whenever the same appeared in the bill. f • -Mr. - Cooper , moved to further amend the bill by striking out from the _petitions for the erection 'of a new c noty 'the name of the t,wn ship, borough, or district where the seat of justice shall he located." ' Mr. litlfallen said that -it - would not snit Herdieler Titusville to have the people vote on the location of the county seat. Ri-members and others were lobbying on the floor of the senate for the passage of the bill and he might be compelled to speak plain er and call by name the parties thus shameleindy engaged. Titusville was sinking into , bankruptcy, and this measures-as presented, was proposed to save her sinki fortunes Mr. Anderson denied the charge of bankruptcy and claimed Titusville was prosperous. < After farther discussion by Messrs. Rockwell, Rutan and Bechtel, 'the 'amendment was defeated—yeas 17, nays 26. Mr. McMullin moved to amend so that the population of the old coun ties should not be reduced below 40,- 000. It was not fair to allow old counties to be - cat down to 20,000 'to farther the schemes of some land jobbers. • , • Mr. Dill said he was not interested in the question so far as his county Was concerned. The legislature was to pass a general law, and he desired to call the attention of -the senate to the fact that the constitutional con vention, which fought to - be ,pre- Burned to fairly represent the senti ments of the people and had acted with great care and deliberation, had fixed the limit of new counties at 20,000. He thought 'it wise to se qniesce in this. Mr. Butan said he should vote against the amendment. It looked as though the senate was going to pass a law to benefit two or three ambiiirims places that want to be coun ty seats. • . The amendment was lost,—yeas 13, nays 23. Mr. M'Mnllin then moved to amend by inserting 30,000 instead of 20,000. Mr. Watson was anxious to vote for a fair bill but could not vote to cat old counties down to 20.000 in habitants. He could not see the force of the argureent that because the constitutional convention fixed the limit at 20;000 . the legislature could not go higher. He was satis fied that the larger and stronger the counties the better for the people. Mr. Dill thought that the legisla tare had no right under , a fair con struction of the constitution to in terfere with the limit. °bairn' tn. Mr. M'Mullen inquired if it was not well understood that Herdic wouli not let the bill pass if it was not cut down to 20,000. Mr. Ratan had served in the senate six years and had never heard such language and would? move 'for the expulsion of. any one repeating such a remark. Mr. Playford offered an • amend ment that the location 'of the seat of justice in the new county be , deter mined by a majority of .the electors, th,i time of the election to be fixed by the parties authorized to. anoint commissioners.; the election not to take place until after the election for the new county had been held.— Adopted. Mr. Stanton moved to amend by making a majority instead of a two-thirds vote necessary in the territory proposed to be erected into a new county. Lost. The, consideration of, the new county, bill being resumed, Mr. Collahan offered the following amendmenf: "Provided that no township; boro. or city lying on the boundary line of any such proposed new county shall be taken from the county of which it pow forms a part, nor included with in the limits of any proposed new „county, unless a majority of all the qualified voters thereof shall vote for the new county. Provided that this provision shall not take effect in any county where the • whole territory proposed to be erected into a new county is to be' taken from said county. Lost--yeas 15, nays 25. Mr. Alexander offered the follow iny amendment as a substitute- for section 14, which was adopted: "That, the property and the taxa ble inhabitants of any portion of the territory of the proposed new county after its erection shall continue liable for the payment of, any debt of the county from which such poition of the territory was taken existing at the time of the erection of such new county, which was incurred for im provements made which are situate within the territory of said new county, arid the same shall be. ad, jested by' the commissioners of the counties affected, as soon after the erection the new county as practi, cable." Mr. Newmyer moved a reconsider ation of the vote by which the first section was adopted. Not agreed , to and the bill was ordered tran scribed for third reading.- THE NEW MINTY BILL. " The new county bill passed the "House on Tuesday, March 9th, " amended 60 that none of the corm " ties from which a new one is taken, " can be reduced below 30,000 inhab itants. A majority vote only is re " quired. ReprAsentatives Tracy voted "against thaltill." The above is from the Northern Tier Gazette. Bat if Mr. buoy was hon estly opposed to a new county: why did he vote for the amendment allow ing old counties to be reduced from 40,000 to 30,000 inhabitants ? This amendment was carried by a cloak, vote, and with the law thit an old county could not be reduced below 40,000, Tioga county could not have been rednced.)and then no new coun ty could be established, as contem plated, , out of Bradford and Mop. Perhaps Mr. Taal- can explain this very, important vote. Onsteavan.

No matter .any way or unpropitious the weather, the scenes incident to-,the f:+ ''l . appear always td be of rufficient in terest to fill the halls, lobbies and galleries'of that], great building with a certain class, wto seem to enjoy the excitement and commotion of the last h6nrs of a session. While there are hundreds of this class of persons, there is always another class, who may always be fciund anxiously watching for the kpassage of some bill, which may or may not be reached, and in which are centered the high est of hopes I and expectations, as well as the reward -of the anxious lobbyist. As the long fingers of the great •evoek cbahi that silently mark 'the departure of time draw slowly -round to the hour of adjournment, many an anxious form may be seen watching, and hoping with, bated breath,that among the rush of bills that an excited body of • legislators are recklessly Ipassing, seemingly without , thought or ebnsideralion, may be hie one for the passage of which, they have , labored so long and so earnestly. THE GIMTLE LOBBYIST. Crdwded into ,the lobbies of either House, and atilt busily engaged amid the confusion of ',the hour, may be found the male and the female lobby ist ; the one busily expostnlating with some refractory member who fails to see a certain legislative scheme in just the proper light, while the other is showering the sweetest and blandest of smiles upon her , infatu ated victim, with every evidence of a better success. . In the deep recesses of the Congressional reception rooms. or in the niche of some window and partially concealed by its flowing drapery, may be seen the shadowy form of some veteran legislator, a willing listener to the honied words that are poured into his elongated ears by the • glorious and gorgeous female standing so lovingly at his side. Desirous of his influence in securing a place in some of the Departments for a needy and deserving widow of some soldier—perhaps,—or a foreign misssion for some bear and dear friend, for which she is well paid, she has assumed that engaging manner, 'so perfectly irresistable to many of our legislative solons. And not the. least in that great Congregation of mixed humanity are the groups of highly-painted and extravagantly dressed -demimonde, who seem per fectly at home as they pass and re pass into the ladies galleries ' • or sweep down through -the -long halls and corridors that connect the two legislative chanibers. With all the harm hustle and con fusion of the expiring session, the array of beauty assembled in the gal leries, is now and then furtively sur veyed by some VANITY 'STRICKEN old'member, arrayed in bine coat and brass buttons, who fondly imagines that,, although the frosts of - many winters have been gathered about his brows and bleached into whiteneas 'the auburn locks of his youth, it is still within his power to make an im pression with the gentle sex. Nor can the hallucination be broken or the dream be dispelled in which be so loves to linger until the patronage he once yielded.slips away from his fin gers, when he 'finds how deceptive; were the•smiles and hollow were the praises that once greeted his majes tic step as he strode around the halls of legislation, entertaining as high an opinion of himself as if be were a Socrates or a Ciesar. • Descending tci , the labyrinth of SALOONS A2iD RESTAURANTS on the floor bsneath, may be fonrid a corresponding some of confusion, commotion. and excitement, but mime what varied in character. Amid the clatter of dishes, the popping of champagne corks, the clinking of glasses, and the rush of darkey wait ers in white aprons, may be heard the toasts and pledges of endearment that are thought to be uttered, sub row, by the groups of gay old legis lative colons whose minds are sup posed to be burdened with the cares of State, but who are contentedly sipping their wine, and fondly listen- ing to the expressions of affection that are so gently, whispered into their ears by the beautiful syrens at their sides, whose special business in life is to "go " for susceptible con gressmen. The wife-pf his bosom, who at tome is dreamily pondering over the proud imition of her hus band, constituency, and' the little bill over which our average congressman is expecting to make his carefully prepared speech—to' be distributed at the proper time in his district,— are all fcirgotten in • the excitement and intoxication of his surroundings. Such are the scenes and incidents which are at all times connected with the adjournment of Congress and the ditpereicn of the assembled wisdom of the nation. BOUNTY. Among the bills which failed to become a law, through .some irregu larity not discovered: in time to be corrected, was the bill providing for the equalization ,of bounties to sol diers. The passing of this bill, it ap pears, is calling forth the severest censure and condemnation of several of the leading jounials of the conn try,"who do not seem, or perhaps do not wank . to understand the subject. There is certainly no good reason why a soldier discharged from the service by reason of disability inettr.r red, should not roadie bounty as well as the one discharged by reason of wounds received. Nor is there , any good reason why the heirs of soldiers who were killed in the three, six, and nine Months' service :should not be paid bounty as well'is if the enlist- I ment bad been fors lOnger period. Until some such bill •is passed, the payment of bounties will continue to be as they always bava been—alto• gether unfair an 4 ,:unequal. The whole expenditure, it is estimated, would not exceed twenty =intone, which is oellitifdy wot w ver7 gmt WR I t Ogg properly . settle the question, which has mulishly agitated every, session of Congress since the , war. Among those who were opposed to any far ther leghtlaction upon the subject. it is said, wig the into flpe of the House. - Vitt his should hos an himself in oppositi o n to ineli ael, is %Lite ;inexplicable ies hiss been some other of his recent movements. TEE TREASURE DEPARTMENT. Among the bills that did pass and become a law, is one-which -provides for the reorganization of the Treasury Department;ln which, however; only the heads of bureaus and , certain ones depomipated Chief* of Divisions are recoguited. The silaries of these geitlemen_haveleenliu-gely inereas ,ed, IvAile, " hewer of wood and draw er of water h isiorgotten, or deemed not " worthy of -kis hire." The whole thing may be ittribated to that splendid system of Civil Service with which the Republican party has been recently burdened, and which a few theoretical old fogies would have liked to have run into an educational aristocracy. • 1 " eon: warm TUE wooreinis retains." Congress having failed tJo make an appropriation for the odatinuance and supply of the Civil Service Com mission, an order has beext issued by the President to the Heads of De parfien nts, in which they are notified , thaVth rnlesi regulations, observa tions ed, recommendadons of the Civil ervice Reform Committee will, henceforth and , forever after, : be abandoned. The . Commission, ',or rather the Inquisition, that have lux urated so long in ease and elegance in their handsomely-appointed rooms, concocting schemes, at, a salary of five thousand a year, through which they might badger the ~..r devil of a clerk, may now bid a " 1. . glareweli to all their greatness." BAILBOAD WAR. The war which has Vio l a. existing for some time between thi President of the Baltimore & Ohio and the Pennsylvania Railroad, still contin ues, and 'cousequently thef fare to any part of the West has been 'reduced to consider ably less thin one-half the former rates. _ It, - would seem as if,the entireliopulation Of Washing ton was intending to "go West," as everybody seems to be I purchasing tiekuts. When the " hot season arrives the exodus from the city of those who seek to escape the hot weather, will, without question, be fully equal to any time of the past, and will evidently_be in the direction of the West. THE BPEAHEBSHIP• The Democratic Congressmen elect from Pennsylvania to 'the,' Forty- Fourth Congress, among whom. we observed Mr. Powell of the Four teenth District, held 4n informal meeting at Willard's Hotel, on Wed nesday evening of list, week, and unanimously agreed upon Hon. Sam. Randall, of Philadelphia,las the choice for Speaker of the next House. It is understood that if Mi.. Cox and Wood of New York are both' candi dates, as it now seems likely,' it will be necessary to divide the Pennsyl vania delegation, and thereby give more strength to the og posing can didatis, of whom Messrs. Randall and Kerr seem to be the only ones. It is further understood that, failing himself to secure the nomination, Mr. Wood will throw hie influence- in fa vor of Mr. Randall. Should Mr. Cox follow Ur. Wood's oystanplfe, Tar Ran dall would likely carry off the prize ; but if Mr. Cob's friends support Mr. Kerr, the indications aie that the struggle would be a close one. THE ORATION THAT DID 11;T TAKE PLACE. The preriarations which were so quietly and steadily pushed forward by the Democratic Jacloon 'Associa tion for the welcoming of i tbe Tennes see "Moses" to Washington in a. proper and befitting stylel came sud denly and unexpectedly toto a stand still. The refusal of thelSenator to 'enter the Democratic creak or to endorse its proceedings, I !fell like a wet blanket on the ardor pf the pro jectors,of the grand banquet, jollifica tion and torch-light procession, which had been held in contemplation and in Which the entire Democratic ele ment of the city was 'expected to join. The shouts and the old famil iar "yell " that so recently went up with such fervor for "Old Andy," have become suddenly bushed. • The burning words of Aoquence that Were uttered in his praise, died npcin their lips.' The resolutions expressing their eternal friendship, and the preamble of heartfelt congratulations, have either been hidden away or cast to the flames • while, sullenlykand sileit ly, the old ' dispeptic, asthiimatic and rheumatic members of the Democrat ic Jackson Association have again crawled into their holes. A spectacle so unique has never been witnessed in the country. Had there been a little coyness, a little dignified co quetry, a little allowance for old prej udices, a decent respect for propriety and the fitness of things, many re ek e people might have been se .duced in a belief that the millenni um was n a myth or figment of theology ; butto see men who have been rolling in the dust and crying out " Wonderful is Andy and we are his prophets all at once turn so short a corner, and turn it so sud denly, cannot be viewed without some feelings of amazement. Without identifying himself with either party. Mr. Johnson bas quietly taken his . seat in the Senate. Evidently he has familiarized himself with'the current literature, supplied to England by the evangelist 9f draw-poker, Minis ter Schenck, as he has signitiedO his friends that be will henceforthdis card all partizan feeling, and that`up , on all questions of public policy he will " go it tame." DEPARTMENTAL BOMOYIS. The rumeta of Cabinet i changes, which always break out soon after the adjournment of Congress, are plentiful as usual. Up to the present time, however, no'changes hive taken place except a few in the diplomatic service,and a few unimportant chang es in some of the bureaus of the Treasury. Efforts , for the removal of Johnson, Commissioner of Cus toms, have been strenuously made by some Western parties, who desire his place;; but so far without success. Changes in the office of the First and Second Comptroller, and in the office of the Third Auditor, it is under stood, will be made before the Senate adjourns. The result of the recent election in Now Hampshire shows a LAROZ REPUBLICAN GAIN over that of last year and that, in stead of the party going to thudevil with as rapid strides as possible, the way has.been opened and the paths cleared for renewed swings. it-Is in the nature of things, as it always has been, and we suppose always wilt bA; that when a party has had control of the government for a long period of ypani, jealowiies biokeriaga 9901 be develope4 en oeeennt et the distribution of the patronage.

Bivikiee, personal jeal- Ptleies, - disappointed ambition - 1i and `frustrated desires, all contribute to the delusive clamor ; and then as a result, a change of adriiinistratien is demanded. - Aq matters now stand there can be but two great parties in the country —one the repreentative of the achieve ments, of the Union armies during the war, and the consequent legisla iton ;_ the other the representative of the exploded fallacies of State Rights, and the hatred which exists of the legislation which OnSued es a natural consequence of • the rebellion: One the representative of progressive ideas and - pledged to maintain the supre macy of' personal freedom to every citizen • the other hide - bound and paralyzed, and alive only to murder ousproscription and narrow - minded prejudices. The result of the elec tione, so far as they have taken place during the rot few months, have given the assura nce{ that the great masses of the people are still with the party that has ever been devoted to the prosperity; advancement and interests of the whole , country, and to the maintenance of the rights, privileges and liberties of its people. M. 017 E PIigADELMIA LETTE.II. .ftuAtausa.u. Match 17,187 x. MYSTERIOUS. About ten days ago, thousands of our dwellings houses in this cityweite marked during the previous night with numbers, cabalistic signs, and other devices. During the next two or three, nights, almost every house in the city was marked in like man • ner, and since then - =the press and people have been doing their • level beat to find out what it means. The police hive been•eagerly endeavoring to detect the persons engaged in the work, bat have been - singularly un fortunate in their efforts to get any clue, to tha mystery.' All kinds of rumors attach to this marvellous marking of habitationet the meet wide-spread is that which doomalhe cityl to a dreadful massa cre by the Roilan Catholics. It is alleged that thi3 marking is done in three different characters, and nerv ous old women tell us that this is done to indicate houses wherein all are Protestants, where all , are Catho lies, and where Catholic servants are employed in the household. There is no question but the mark !ng of so many houses has created a most profound sensation, and I know of many men who are not at all timid, generally speaking, that, in anticipa tion of trouble on St. Patrick's Day, have loaded up their old army mus kets, examined their revolvers, and have prepared to do and die in de fence of their altars and their fires. I give no theory of my own re garding- this all-absorbing mystery. . I simply mention the fact of such a strange occurrence having taken place ; that the attention of the Mayor of the city has been called to it, of the inability of the authorities ) to detect those engaged in the nefa rious work, and of column after col umn in the daily papers, endeavoring to explain all about it. My own izottoo bao boon nutaborea, awl if I should suddenly cease to be your cur- . respondent please bear in mind that at midnight on the 10th of March, I was doomed. ICE GOEGES. About a week was spent in fatile efforte r by our city authorities to blow up the ice in the Schuylkill river, In order to save the bridges from des truction. A great many pounds of powder were exploded in this way to the delight ,of the urchins whose taste for squibs, and crackers, and powder, seems never to be appeased. The ice gorge in our river is above Fairmount dam. This dam is at the head of tide water in the Schuylkill, and, was built for the purpose of sup-, plying our city- with water. Com menciag at the dam' on either aide of the river, Fairmount Park extends upwards for several miles. The Park is managed by a commission of aris tocratic non-entitioe, who, in what they regarded as an act of superla tive wisdom, prohibited our ice com panies from butting any ice in the river fronting the Park Grounds. I differ with the Park Commission ers, and regaid their " superlative wisdom" the most arrogant nonsense, It prevented the employment of from 300 to 400 _laborers cutting ice !for a month or more, and it forces Idle purchase of $500,000 worth of ice from New England.. If the May .or had pat a pound of powder in the , empty cavities of the' heads of the Park Commissioners, where brains ought to he, and ad fire to it, he would have done a much wiser thing than attempting to: blow np an ice gorge with porter bottles filled with blasting powder. By doing so, he - mould rid our city of a set of old fos silized antediluvians, the city would save her halt million dollars for Yan kee ice, and the ice gorge would be nicely stored away for use next sum-, mer. CIVIL BIGHTS The question of civil rights, prom ions to become violent wrongs, and if those whom the rights were intended to benefit, fail, to act civilly under them, violence and wrong will cer tainly follow. Thus far,mobody has been seriously harmeil in this city, although a few darkies have, at the instigation of shyster lawyers in search of a case permitted themselves attorneys: become the dupes of these seedy attorneys: One of , the colored men, sckinfluenced, went , into the besCbar ber'shop in this city, the proprietor Of which is a handsome yellow fel low, nearly!the l color of clay, and said to be a riar relative of one of our most eminent statesmen, now deceas ed. He app)ied for a shave, and was refused upon the ground that "com mon white folks`ean't get shaved in this emporium of Art; and low niggers can't come in no-ho' a" - The colored applicant for a shave, was not a gentleman likely to favora bly impress the tonsorial\ artist, and 4 e. he was therefore requeited to leave. "I prosecute you for dams - a," said the aggrieved; hastily haudi g him a 25 cent note, (the price of a shave in that establishmeq) the clay-eoler ed fellow remarked. "You are ne damaged to a greater extent than the price of a shave, and here is the money." The sum enabled the "damaged dark" to purchase 8 whis kies "straight" and a nickle left over for a sandwich for lunch; in his exu berance he forgot to reprt to his ad riser, the lawyer, and his attorney, had his little disappointment for his trouble.

JIMES G. BLAIN& The. distinguithedi statesman who has just stepped doirn and out from Speakership of the National House of Representatives, has been here, the guest of- one of our. citizens. The .Ex-Speaker is not at. all reticent re garding political matters. The result in New Hampshire was exceedingly. gratifying to % WM; that contest was fought squarely against the third term nonsense—the Republican Con wintion which niade tha State ticket, hiving directly declared its hostility to Grant as a third-term candidate— and it shows how rank stronger the pasty is than Grant. ' Mr. Blaine believes the only issue before the country to-day is "whether loyal men, or those lately in arms against the nation, shall control its political affairs." He looks upon General Gordon j of Georgia, and Lamar of Mississippi as the ablest of the 120 ex-officers of tho confeder ate government now in Congress; e the most conservative members ''of Congress from the South', and as the most brilliant and effective public speakers on the Democratic side 'in either House of Congress, and their failure to direct the popular senti ment in favor of Democracy in New Hampshire, after their having made an exhaustive canvass of the State is conclusive evidence to Mr. Blaine that the country is not yet ready to pass over into Democratic bands the ad ministration of the' government: Mr. Blaine is entirely satisfied that the paramount question on which the contest of 1876 will be fought is simply "whether loyal men or ex-con federates and their sympathizers shall be trusted with the administration of public affairs." As far as the Democnitic candi dates for the Presidency are concern ed, Mr. Blaine believes that the nom. inaiion lies between Hon. S. J. Ran dall of Pennsylvania, Senator Thur man of Ohio, and Governor Tilden of New York, with Gen. Gordon as the most probable candidate for Vice President. , J. W. F. FROM HARFLISBORG. HtIIIIIBBI7I/0, 51arch 13, 1875 ED. REPOETER : As the time draws nigh for the legislature to adjourn, both Houses are petting themselves to work in real earnest. The inde cent baste in which bills are rushed through is a disgrace to the State and a burlesque upon what delibera tive bodies, should be. The House met last evening at 7 o'clock and did not adjourn until 7i o'clock this morning. The bill for the reduction of boomage tolls was the subject of most interest. For some mysterious reason the Philadelphia delegation have • taken it upon them selves to oppose this bill ; they, how ever, found themselves outnumbered, for upon the final passage of the bill the yeas were 11.3 and the nays 48. All sorts of tactics were resorted to to defeat the bill. At about 10 p. in, Mr. Crawford of Phila. being in the Chair, Mr. Huhn made a motion to adjourn, which , was duly submitted to the House and, as j was apparent to all, lost. The Chair, however, de cided it carried, and amid calls for "division ' and "yeas and nays,"' declared thp House adjourned and stepped down from the Chair • all the members, excelA a few from Philadelphia, protested against this action. Amid great *fusion Speaker Pat terson resumed! the Ohair and called. the House to order, claiming he had a right to submit the motion to ad journ again to the House, there-being a dispute about this matter. In this he was fully sustained, for on a call of the yeas and nays only five mem bers voted " aye." Had the House adjourned at this time it would have resulted in the defeat of the " Boom bill," for the reason that it could not pass to third reading in the Senate before the final adjournment. At about 4 o'clock, a. m., the gai was suddenly turned off, for the pur pose, - no doubt, of bringing about an adjournment. The hall was in total darkness. for some minutes, during which the "'roosters" made many motions to adjourn, , bat the Speaker (be it said to his credit) refused to entertain any motion until the House was in order Amid the confusion Dir. Wolfe was heard to say, " Stand to your guns. boys, and keep your seats ; " another member said, 'd like to know what the officers of this Democratic House are about that the gas is not turned on." At last the gas was again burning, and at about 5, o'clock . House bill No: 81 (the Boom Bill) was reached. Some one moved that the House go into Com mittee of the Whole - for general amendment ; not agreed to. A'. vote wai then ha d upon the final pasican ° c of the bill, resulting as before stated. After this the . House was simply . a mob until adjournment. The mem bers went from their seats down into the open spies around the clerk's desk, and clamored for recognition from the Speaker. Whenever a 'mem ber obtained the floor he moved a suspension of the rules for the pur pose of taking up his favorite bill, which motion prevailed in nearly ev ery instance ; and thus bills were rushed through second reading with out the consideration they merited, until 7 o'clock, when the mob was dispersed by a motion to adjourn. It must have been apparent to all that there were less than a quorum of members present for at least an hour land a:half immediately preceding ad . ournment. The New County bill has been amended in the Senate, so that it is not materially different from the bill as first reported to the House. Mr. Rockwell, of your' county, made an effort to so -amend that the , people should vote for the location of the Co. seat at the time they voted for the new comity. His amendment was not to the mind of St. Peter, for it is weltknown that Minnequa would nit be the county seat by the choice of , the people ; he therefore set him self- to work to dafeat it, and did,_ I have just learned that the Judi ciary General Committee of the San ; to have decided to report the bill for tt o t i reduction. of "boomage with a n recommendation, on. the groun4 of its unconstitutionality. Mr. ng, who is chairman of that committee, v wfil find the opinion -of Wayne Mc iagh—who says the bill t : is constitutio al—will have weight with the peop • The Local Op\ ion law is not likely to he repealed by the Senate without opp@mlieg tiltret9 a Wingert limi law. To-day when the; subject was under discussion, Senator Rockwell declared himself opposed to naked repeal, bat Would vote for it if the limns° law was attached. He is the only Democrat who takes this posi tion: W. T. Davies, W. H. Carnochan, and H. N. Williams were here this week 1 Mr. Myer; of your county, was here some weeks ago, and was kindly greeted, by many friends. It ,ie thought he will be a prominent can didate for State Treasurer. 'Should either , of the candidates from your section of the. State be successful, I believe Mr. Myer will be the man. The other gentleman has had too, much to do , with Strangling the Boom and Pipe Line Dills. HAMPiOIIIE. There is nothing partieularly enj conraging in the result of the New, Hampshire election 10 the gentlemen who have for the last dix months been engaged in writing obituary noticet of the Republican Party. Although the temperature on Tuesday was too low, in the New - England States to be pleasant, and a. deepFsnow covered the ground, the rural IRepnblicans of New Hampshire turned out with rather more enthusiatim,than is gen erally exhibited by the adherents of a moribund Party. Ip fact, Republi canism in New Hampshire -has not shown such signs of T igoeona life Lir some years as Are-seen in the result of Tuesday's voting.i In 1872 the Republican candidate for Governor received-38,752 votes; in 1873 the Repnblicans only cast 81,043 votes. and in 1874 about one hundred votes more. At this -writing the Republi can vote on Tuesday has reached 40,000. with some twenty towns to 'hear from. It must be remembered that ;the adroinistration of thet State Govern ment is in the hands of the Demo crats, which gave them a great 'ad vantagnin the cativaie. 'The Legis lature redistricted the State,in such a way Is to secure a majority in both Houses, under *almost, any conting ency. A poliee *ann.! in (Manchester was invested with authority to natu ralize aliens, for the pOrpoee of mak ing the process as expeditionia as possible. l Political parties are so evenly balanced in New Hampshire . that the importation! of a few men just before the elect*, and convert-,. ing them into voters through the agency of an easy-going naturaliza tion court, has a most important bearing on the result; 'There can be no doubt but the party having con trol of the courts and the local gov ernments availed tnemselves or all the appliances for • increasing their vote that the law put in their hands, to say nothing of theeharges of fraud which were freely triad° before the election. There can be no denial of thelaet that the Democrats put forth a great effort. The shrewd party lEaders appreciated the necessity of maintain ing the prestige gained last NoVem ber, and they knew - very well that any check in the onward movement of the "tidal wave" would seriously compromise, their prOspects for a; vic tory in 1876. For this reason the contestin New Hampshire assumed an importance fee beyond that which ordinarily ,attaches to a State election. 'National issues entered largely into the canv,ass, and two dis tinguished I Socitherr! orators—Sena tor Gordon and - Mr. Lamar—were sent into the State to implore the people to give an emphatic rebuke to the President for his course in sna . taining Kellogg in Louisiana and Ames in, MissiSsipFii; We can see nothing in' the election returns to show that majority-of the people r of the State meant to Condemn the Re publican party, althOngh the Repub lican- State Convention resolved against "a, third term" with great emphasis. i 1' It is quite apparent that there are as many, Republicansm Now Hamp shire as there ever were, and that if it were not for the-ebastaut influx of foreigners •, to the manufactering towns of New Hampshire, and, the organized“boltsorganizedthe temperance people, 'the iDemocrats could have no possible hope of carriog New Hamp shire in 1876, or at env other time. The same may be seid of all the New England States. The people have certain fixed views cencerning"States 'rights,” political rights, civil rights and human rights which are not-.;in accord with' the doctrines laid down in the Democratic ; platforms, and although they may find. fault -with particular acts of . the President, whenever there is a squat) issue 'be tween the two parties they will, al ways be found on the side of-RePub licanism. ' The unexpeated result of the elec tion in New HampslAre has created _an extraokdinary flatter among the newspapers' that hive for the, last year been contemplating a democrat: is victory in 1876, and have been set ting their sails aceordiogly. l :The 'Tribune and &reit took in canvas with remarkable celerity. The !Llera/d_l is used to that kind_ of work, and' con fronted the einergeney with its , cus tomary assurance.. ."It is a pooi, role that will not work both wa} s," ' says this sagacious weathercock, "and', the vote of 1874 indicated a change in political opinion then, we may. fairly assume that the vote of 1875 has quite as much signifletince;" and then it pertinently asks, i"if the\ prohibi tion voters'of New !Hampshire, who cherish their partr, organization so dearly, chose to .abandon it rather. than see Democratic:rule perpetrated: may not similar action be expected from thousands of Republicans in New York, Ohio and other States who last fall refused to go the to polls ?"—Baltimore :47nerican.
