CONCORD, y H., June 7, 1913.
The Legislature Of New Hampshire convened
m this place yesterday. In the Senate, Hon. ST.
MON P. COLBY Of HilIsborough, was appointed
President in the House, SAMUEL. SwAZEY Of
Hsvcrhill was reelected Speaker. OF course
tLese men are both Loco Focos Of the most radi-
cal stamp. Out of 222 votes cast for Speaker,
1g7 were for the successful candidate. The Wing
vote for Andrew Pierce, Esq was 49, Isaac
Hills party cast votes
To-day the Governor elect (HESRY HUEEARD
ofCbarlestown) took the oath of office, and de-
Gyered the customary Address, in the presence of
the two Houses and large concourse of citizens.
The Address was extremely long, occupying
more than an hour and halfin the reading and,
what was not little amusing, wound up by re-
commanding short session. His Eycellency,
Of course, does not expect the Representatives Of
the people to initiate his own example in respect
10 the length Of their speeches, otherwise the
whole year to come would hardly suffice for the
ordinary purposes Of legislation. According to
the statements Of the Governor, the finances of
the State are III very prosperous condition. The
sum Of S33, 900 has been borrowed. and another
temporary loan may be required to meet the i'm
mediate wants of the government: but it is cStl-
mated that the tax already levied will be suii-
cient, when collected, to pay the whole debt and
leave balance in the Treasury. The Geological
Survey the State has been completed, and the
Report of the Surveyor will be Submitted to the
Legislature. The Asylum for the Insane has gone
into operation under the most favorable clrcum-
stances Seventy patients have been received
SINCE it was opened 20 of whom have been re-
tuned 10 their friends in their right mind. The
number Of inmates at the present time is 3D.
The laws Of the State have been thoroughly re-
vsed by Mcssrs. Bell and Fox, and published IN
convenient form. The Governor congratulated
the Legislature on the completion of tins work,
and recommended great caution in making alter
atoms Of the system. Hccven recommended that
no law hereafter enacted should take effect until
thirty days after the meeting of the Legislature
next succeeding that by whichi it may be enacted!
The Primary Schools of the State were commend
cd to the fostering care of the Legislature, as
shutting the heart of the body polite. Their
character the Governor thought, would be greatly
elevated, if the higher branches Of English study,
Mathematics, Philosophy and Political Economy,
were made part of their system of instruction
The State Prison was represented to be in a flour
ishiug condition, its receipts being just about suf
fcient to meet its expenses.
On the Political topics of the day, such as the
Tariff, Land Distribution, &c. the Governor went
the whole length of all the views of the most
ultra portion of his party. On the subject Of the
Tariff, he was particularly vehement, declaring
that it imposed enormous burdens upon the peo-
pie and was worse than Agrarianisn, in that it
robbed the poor for the benefit of the rich, while
the latter only took the property of the rich and
divided it among the poor! His EXceilency also
maintained that Railroad Companies should in no
circumstances be empowered to take land need
full for their purposes without the full consent of
the owner, and cxpatiated, in the usual style OF
his party, on the subject of Individual Liability
for corporate debts. The Address was tolcrably
well written, but delivered in style of bombast
which Indicated that Selfcstecm was somewhat
largely developed on his Excelency's cranlum.
The Loco. Focos held their State Convention
this day, Hon. LEVI WOODBURY. presiding. lis
tened awhile to his speech on taking the chair.
It was ranting, ad captandum effort well
charged with ilaticry of the dear people! He
declared that he would rather live under the rule
Of the Grand Turk than IN country where a
corporation was invested with power to take
mans land without his consent, to build a rail-
road. Governor Hubbard having declined
election JOHN. III. STEELE, Esq, of Peterborough
was nominated as the Loco-Foco candidate for
that Office. He will be elected, unless the Wings
awake from their long slumbcr, for HILL Judging
iron present indications, will make no Roadway
against the Radicals.
The Abolitiunists of the State arc holding q
meeting here at the present time. They assem-
aed yesterday at the Town Hall, the churches
oeng all closed against them. JOHN w. CHAN
DLER (the man who took a wife lately on his own
NOOK, without the forms of law and the noto-l-
Gus ABlGAu. Folsom, Of Boston, have annoyed
Mem much by their interruption of the business
@ie'e the meeting Yesterday the meeting pre-
snted scene OF confusion unrivaled since the
to#n meeting at EphcsuS, of which we read IN
scripture. To-day am told there has been less
usufbance and some fine speaking by several
SeIuemen from Massachusetts, and some most
delicious music from the Hutchinson family.
The country looks finely now, although vege-
saaon is very backward. Concord has grown
sapiay within few years, and the opening OF
ae Kallroad to Boston has impaired new hic and
sn'ilation 10 business Yours, Traveller.
