- NEW 'HAMPSHIRE ELECTION,
The first election of the present cam
paign held in Now Hampshire last week,
gives an indication of the drift of politi
cal matters during the coming campaign.
Last year that State was carried• by the
Democrats, and their crowing over the
victory was prolonged and boisterous.
They will-hardly concede, we suppose
that result now indicates as much
for us, a's they claimed it did then for
' them, but they certainly feel that they be
gin the coming campaign under a heavy
'-disadvantage. The following from the
Pittsburg Dispatch discusses the conse
quences of this first victory fully and
forcibly :
THE LESSON OF NEW HAMP
SHIRE.
We have been perfectly free . l and'
out-spoken in our views as to the moral
involved in the Now Hampshire election.
Before it could pcasibly be known which
party would gain tho viotpry, we gave it
as ourjudginont that the question of the
renomination of General • Grant was in- •
Volved, and that if the election wore
favOrable, nothing 'could - prevent his.
success, while if it wont against the ,Ro
publican party, it would, to some extent,
damage his prospects. This is the con
struction now put, upon the election by
the mass of papers throughout the coun
try. The New York Tribune carefully
avoids the point, but this is not strange.
The Sun, in a carefully written editorial,
a day or two before the election, said
"the canvass in New Ilam&shire has
been very active, though on the Repub
lican side the efforts have been greater
than oni tho Democratic. The contest
there 'is a square one, the Republicans
bearing the banner of Grant, while the
Democrats stand by their old doctrines,
without having incorporated into their
platform any remarkable novelties."
The candor of this statement cannot
well be obscured by new versions, made
after the election is over. No ono will
accuse the Sun with making, these re
marks in the interest of the President,
and we can t thereforNaceept its version
as correct.
The New York Herald has a peculiar
crotchet, to the effect that' the only policy
of tho Democratic party is to abandon
its regular organization, and fuse with
the Cincinnati " lilafrals." This will
explain the moaning of the closing sen
tence in thefollowing: "As' the first
skirmi or reconnoissance of the Presi
dential campaign, therefore,. this Repub
lican success in Now Hampshire, under
the circumstances, assumes the propor
tions:of a great and decisive victory for
benem.l grant. It confirms the general
impression and removes the last shadow
of a doubt as to the action of the Phila
delphia Republican Convention ; it dis
closes the weakness of the, 'soreheads'
as a disturbing force, and it exhibits
what Kossuth would call the' solidarity'
of the Republican party. On the other,
hand, it must convince the Demooratic
Managers that if they fight the battle of
1872 under their old party organization
they can look for nothing better than a
crushing defeat. What, then, can they
do? ,They have the inviting alternative •
offered them of the Missouri passive
policy, the policy of sinking the Demo
cratic party in a free aud easy fusion
with all the anti-Grant elements of the
country, beginning with the Cincinnati
Liberal Republican Conventiou."
The Press of Philadelphia is, of course ;
in favor of President Grant, but while
this may to some extent '11081440 against
,the impartiality of its judgment, its
statements may be accepted as cumula
tiie. It says : "The administration is
fully vindicated by the result in New
Hampshire, and Grant's re-nomination
hi now inevitable. This fact will not,
however, compel an abandonment of in
dividual Apposition to him, neither will
it silence all criticism. The opposition
can be disarmed ; the criticism should
be invited. No one' doubts that the
administration has been honest. It has
increased the revenues aud reduced 'the
debt, practiced economy in public ex
penditures, and introduced civil service
reform. Its foreign policy has been
dignified, and has peacefully solved the
gravest of problems. 'lt has made
takes; but none so grave that they canna
be corrected. These considerations, to
gether with the .fact, from which wo
cannot escape, that the administration
is the machinery of the party I'ur carry
ing inio'etruct its views, and' that the
President has'acted all through iu ac
cordando with the idea, impelled Now
Ilampshire yestoiday-to declare in favor
of the nomination of General Grant and
to pledge him its electoral vote next
' fall."
We have made these excerpll to show
that the opinion of paper, independent,
friendly and tmfriendly, is that the New
- Hampshire .election can have hut one
result—to influence the re-nomination of
Grant. It, howhver, does morn than
this; it points to the manner in which
his re-nomination will be received among
the people. If, in the fa r ce of the‘crimi
nation • and unfriendliness of paper
which will, probably, when he is 'regu
larly nominated, support him, an eloc.i
tion in which his name and administra
tion are lcoPt prominent, is trinmph
antly_ carried,- there need be no,-fear
when the lines are perfectly drawn and
the inane oponlylmade. More than this,
it - must not boa - apposed that the Repub
lican party will be in a defensive' atti
tude' during the Presidential campaign.
It-was necessarily so in the New Hamp
shire canvass, as tho Doniooracy aro not
sufficiently " prominent, just now, to be
aggressively attacked. In .the Presi
dential struggle they will be compelled
to take position on current questions, or
else to fuse with the Liberals, In other
event they will be brought to-bay, and
be .compelled to answer for their politi
cal dognias,t'and their actual-record.
We have little faith in the outcome `of
- the Cincinnati Liberal Convention: -Al
ready its promoters aro quarreling over
the tariff question. They wish to cap
lure Greeley, but desperately dislike his
pieteetionist views, If left to themselves,
a free trade platform will he adopted ;
but in they ansietyto secure the support
of the , Tribune, they-may bend to Mr.
Greeley's view on thit subject, or ignore
it altOgether.,,„ln ono event , they will
lose Greeley ; In.the other, tho support
of very many of their Demooratid sup
4ortoro. Thus the managers of that
Movement aro besot with. difficulties ,at
' the very °Meet, and it remains to, be
soon whether : they willwisely:aurmount
them. We look *non devolopMents as
behig entirely favorable; therefore, •to
President Grant's re-nomination and
•
election." . .
HARRISBURG LETTER
HARRISBURG, MAUCH 19, 1872
Last week was attended with some
excitement and- considerable work. Two
very important measures were before the
Legislature, and both received the atten
tion their importance merited. Ono of
those had reference to the oil interests of
the State, and the other to the lumber.
No. i 2
The oil regions have been fort some
time in a state of considerable excitement
over the operations of an organization
known as the Southern Improvement
Company. This corporation is ono of
a very numerous class, which have beer._
created by the Legislature within the
last two or three years, and which have
an unlimited power of combination and
absorption. This particular one, the
Southern Improveinent Company, it
seems confined itself ,to the Oil regions
where it succeeded in getting hold of all
the linos of transportation to such an'
ox
tent as ,to control entirely the . whiple
carrying of the oil. Ite rates and
charges soon
_alarmed the producers and
they immediately organize for their own
protection. In the early part of the
week, they visited the capital -and se
cured the passaco of a frde pipe bill which
they hobo will guard theni from all es
tortions.
. Thelumber difficulty grew—out.of the
ispirations of the Susquehanna Boom
Company, an institution which' has its
field of operation at Willid.maport. This
company was organized some years ago,
and has by successive acts of the Legis
laturb, been allowed to increase its rates
of homage t 041.25 per thousand
-feet. • The lumber dealers ..thinking
this oppressive concluded to move
in this Matter, and they had a bill in
troduced reducing the rates to ninety
cents. The Boom Company resisted
this with their utmost energy, and the
consequence was that quite a lively
fight took place in the House on the
passage of the bill. The session was .
prolonged until after midnight,. and
finally the bill was defeated by a close
vote. The day following simila . r ) bill
was called up in the Senate, and passed
without a dissenting vote. It then went
over to the House where it was referred
to a committee, and it may slumber
there for some time, but there is little
doubt it will pass finally.
Last week the Governor sent in a
message nominating C. D. Brigham, for
Auditor General, to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of Dr. Stanton.
Mr. niitan immediately offered a joint
resolUtion confirming the nomination,
and fixing the term for three years.
This was referred to a committee, and
the matter slumbered until Monday
night, when Mr. Brigham sent in a
communication declining to accept the
appointment: Mr. Strang then reported
a bill from the Judiciary which had
previously passed the House, continuing
General Hartranft's term of office until
next December, and providing for the
election of his successor at the coming
election. This bill was discussed until
s late hour, whehqpassed finally.
A bill providing for the calling Of„a
convention to revise the Constitution of
the State, has pased both Douses, but
in different shape, and is now in the
Ands of a committee of conference.
The- main point of difference is in the
manner of choosing the delegates. The
Douse proposes that the political com
plexion of• the convention shall be deter
mined by the strength of the two
parties, while the Senate proposes to to ,
the cumulative system of voting, and
thus make the convention consist of an
equal number of each party. How the
matter will be adjusted in conference
remains to be seen. The time for elect_
big the delegates will be the -doming
October election.. The Local Option bill
has been made the special order for
Thursday evening in the Senate.
The appropriativiiibill has been re
ported by the c eninnitteo and will be
acted upon by the Senate during the
present week. The apportionment bill
has not yet come from that committee.
The McClure-Gray contest will be trans
ferred from Philadelphia to the Capital
Ito-morropri , as the testimony will be
closed and the arguments are to be made
here. The result can only bo guessed at
thoirh the chances aro that Gray will
retain his seat. Should the Democratic
members of the committee, however, go
back on their record and adopt the some
what too common trick of throwing out
divisions, McClure may come in. "
The election in the Chester district
for a successor to Mr. Evans, has re
sulted in the choice of William B. Wad
dell. Mr. Waddell has served in the
House, and wk . ll make a worthy entices
sor to Mr. Evans. He will moat likely.
present himself and ho qualified to-mor
row. To-day a joint resolution passed,
extending the time for adjournment to
Thursday,
.the fourth day of April.
There is little doubt that the business
of the session will be finished by that
time.

noticed in your paper i of Feb
ruary 29, which some friend kindly sent.
"me, an article from the Lancaster
Intei
ligencer, in which the weights of a amm
bernf fat cattle were given—as follows :
ALnes.ster county steer fact by John
Saner,' live weight, 4,380 lbs, dt!essed;
2,453 k lbs. An Ohio steer, slaughtered
in Philadelphia, weighed, dressed,-
lbs, but it was claimed that in this
case a portion of what is culled rough
tallow was left in, thus ineoue.ing
weight above what it should have been,
also, a New Yorh: steer, live 'weight,_ 3,-
250 lbs, dressed, 2,383 lbs.
Now Messrs. Editors, Fat beef, perk
and sheep is something that Detn!iters
feel an interest in— Many of our butch
ersmake special efforts to kill "for use
during the Christmas holidays the fat
test animals that can be procured, and
some of atom devote much time and
money in feeding animals for'-the sham:.
bles. The display made in some of our
meat shops during Um winter holidays
is very fine and well worth visiting to
see what can be accomplished in fatten
ing animals.

dressed, 2,593 lbs, from this one he took
361 lbs rough tallow, and to make the
roasts Gt to be used ; he lird to cut four
inches of fat from the outside—fhis was
the finest " marbled" beef I. ever liioked
-upon—ln the roasts there was not a steak
of lead or fat as -large as my smallest
finger. - Indeed, they were no larger than
a straw and very short. Tho meat looked
as if sprinkled with flour—it was so com
pletely mixed.
Mr. Smith grinds :ill the grain he feeds
and steams everything he feeds, except
ing twice a week ho gibes dry hay. The
feed is varied each day of the week, and
each day has its special feed. lie mixes
with the grain (mostly Corer) coarse feed,.
such as corn stalks, hay, &c., but all is
cut and steamed.
1 saw in his shop, on Christmas, ten
Cottswold sheep that averaged 311 lbs,
dressed, also, 60 Southdowus that aver
aged 140 lbs. He had at the same time
six Suffolk pigs 11 mouths, old that
averaged, dressed, 475 lbs, these he fed
only three months and they increased in
weiOit 4 pounds each per day. He had
also two Chester whites 2 l'years old that
weighed. dressed, $5O tbs and 990 lbs.
These weights may seem over stated, but
you must remember we are only the
width of a river from Canada, peopled in
a good degree with Englishmen and we
have a largo representation of beef eat
ing Englishmen in our city—is it then
to be wondered at, if Detroiters feel an
interest, in fat beef, and that our butch
ers should make special efforts to pro
cure for the Christina; holidays the fat
test beef, sheep and hogs 'that can be
found?
Mr. Smith has for a number of years
back each winter, killed beeves weighing
3,000 to 3,500 lbs, and did not think it of
importanse enough to put it in the pa
pers.
I notice also, that you speak of the ex
citement in Canada, of - flie silver ' and
gold mines on the north shore of Lako
Superior. I hope none of .your people
will - think of going there after a fortune.
It is true they are taking out much silver
ore, and there are large smelting works
near this city, built expressly for the
ores of these mines. The lands are all
in the hands of speculators and nearly,
if not all the companies that are getting
out ore, are owned in our - city. The
specimens are certainly . very tine and
much money-has been expended in test
ing the value of the mines. And .the
only way that "outsiders" can make
money out of theme is . by speculating in
the stocks.
If any of your people wish to emigrate,
instead of going to the silver mines of
Canada, let them go to Michigan, nriow
of no place-so good and where the chances
for making money are so great, as the
following up of the railroads noW bnild
ing into the northern portion of our
State.
Hero the Rail Ijoads aro proceeding
and making a highway for the settler.
Roads arc being built where no settlers
have yet ventured. Lands can he bad
from $3 to iil9 per acre along roads that
will give the fanner- a good market,
neakly at, his very door. Heretofore
Railroads have followed the settlements,
but here the order . is reversed.. I equld
give manly reasons why I consider lieu-
gall one of the most promising ,titates of
the Union, and holding ont gkater in
ducements to emigi ate than any other,
hut it is not necessary.
Throughout the Middle States Michi
gan is not so well known as those States
lying farther away; but on the • direct
line of travel westward. And this is be
cause wd lie north from your east and
west linos of travel. To the' Now Eng

rigid in the extreme, as they had to de
pend entirely on their own stock of in
formation previously acquired. ,No lead
ing questions were given to the scholars
in this instance, and uo aid was afforded
by the teacher to the pupils as is sd gen
erally observed-on occasions of this kind.
Without - particiflarizing, 'the reputa
tion of tho teachers was creditably sus
tained by the pupils in all their studies.
Variety, the-spice of life, was afforded
by. Prof. Ldtz , and his singing class,
composed in.tho main of pupils of "The
Oaks." We need not speak in any
'commendatory terms of the Professor's
musical talent—as lie is well-known in
this county• as a successful ' music
teacher. The drawings displayed on
the walls of the school room, were finely
executed, and indicated a peculiar
talent for teaching this art upon the
part .of-'the teacher of the primary
school. • Recitations rare .mado from
popular pouts,..Burus, Tennyson, Byron,
Shakepoare and others, by the larger
scholars, and all were highly pleased
with this feature of the examination.
In the evening , an exhibition' was
given by the scholara-of the two schools
under tho management or ,the teachers:
The exercises consisted of rocal and
instrumental music and declamation.
Inasmuch as your reporter was not, able
to be present, he cannot give a detailed
account of the proceedings, b c Ct judging
(*rem what he did see In then -directions
during the day, he is satisfi d that the
extraordinary efforts of the ' enchers
were not in vain._
At the close/ of the examination,
speeches were made by W. B. Butler,
esq., Prof. Eckels, of Silver Spring, Dr.
11. W. ;Slower, Prof. W. A. [Tipple, and
all the rest of the gentlemen present who
desired to do so, and all returned to
their ponies, sattsiled that South Middle
ton tolvuship is first of all in educational
advantages, and, the people second to
none In hospitality and social virtues.
The opportunities afforded by these
graded schools fur all to obt:W; a ilrrst
lase common sohool education, are
abundant, and the rich man's daukhter,
and the poor man's son, on terms of per
fect equality lune, may be fitted for any
station in life to which they may be
called or inclined.
The whole examination throughout was
a practical illustration of the fact that
the children of to-day iu our land of free
schools have rare advantages over those
who preceded them, and that the system
of education is rapidly advancing toward
-perfection. The State Normal school of
Millersville, has . )wo excelhint representa

monuments ah; every day life attests
the worth of thi school for teachers.

SCHOOL EXAMINATION.
On last Wednesday, the thirteenth
Instant, I had the pleasure of attending
the examination of Prof. Jno. L. Henry's
school, iii the village,of Centoridlle,.and
I dare say that it was one of the moat
successful that I have eyes had the
liberty to attend—all things being equal.
By ten o'clock -all the seats were occu
pied, and by noon the school room was
crowded, every available space being
occupied by persons intent -on listening
to the exercises.
The examination was held, in the
upper room of the ii:Cademy
and at noon we wore invited down to the
lower room to a feast of good things,
the night of which would liave made an
opicurcrln laugh.
After Mr. ienry was done examining
his pupils in physical geography, physi
ology, philosophy, history, Prof. J.
Zeamer, of South Middleton, and Rev.'
A. C. Felker, examined them, anise
answers the pupils made to their dues
tions, elicited the applause of the audi
ence, 1 must not forget to state tho Nos.
4 and 5 reading classes did nobly. I did
nut hear thelother reading classes, being
too Late in getting there, the exercises
commencing at lit o'clock.
The exercises were enlivened by music
as conducted by our kind and' genial
friend, Prof. Jno. McKeehan.
~. His
original song made for the occasion, was
well timed and very applicable. I must
not forget to tell you, that the room was
wreathed in a most beautifial and superb
manor, Appropriate mottoes occupied
the prominent parts of the room. Tti
conclusion I may say, that this examina
tion has proven Prof. Henry to be one of
our most successful teachers, both in
literary acquirements and skill in teach
ing. Mr. Means, of South Middleton,
made the remark in-his speech, "that
it's amazing. how Mr.• henry got his
, pupils to make such proficiency in their
studies in a mixed school of forty-five
and fifty scholars." The pupils and
patrons deserve praise and credit for the
manner in which they conducted the
entertainment, and Shows eonclusivoly
that they are not behind' their sister
townships.' After addresses from Hey.
