New Hampshire Election.

Tho election in New Hampshire, on Tuesday,
the 9Th inst, resulted in the choice OF the dem-
ocratic candidate for Governor, Hon. NOAH
MARTIN. Tho democrats will also have ma
,ority in both branches Of the Legislature. and
q majority of about twenty on joint ballot
This Legislature will choose U. S. Senator in
place of John P. Hale, for the next six years,
commencing March, 1853. Considering the
means employed by the federal party in this
campaign, the result of this election must be
regarded. not only as a decided democratic
victory. but pleasing vindication of the fun
damental principles of truth and morality upon
which our institutions are based.
The Dover Gazette says. in this election the
people have shown their attachment to good
morals, their love of Democratic principles and
Democ, attic rulers. and their utter detestation
Of the low chicanery and great depravity of the
federal party.
The election Of DR.. Martin is one of the best
commentaries, ever made. by an incensed peo-
pie on such infamous falsehoods as the grave
yard fabrication. The great mass of people
had too much discrimination 10 be cheated by
such fabrications In fact. the very falsehoods
awakened sympathy and worked greatly in ia
vor of DR.. Martin. And the rebuke thus Civ
en-. we hope, will be useful lesson to the
shameless fabricators

Insolvent Law.

In late number of the Kennebec Journal,
we find an abstract of the 1nsolvent Law, re-
ported to the Legislature by H. W. Paine and
Lot M. Morrill,, Esqs., who were appointed
to this duty at the last session. The bill en-
braces forty-two sections.
Itprovides for the holding of court in each
county, once month, by 4 commissioner ap-
pointed for that purpose, when the debtor may
appear, and set forth his inability TO pay his
debts, and make an assignment of what proper
~ he has. In case he owes no more than 5000,
an appeal may be made to the District Court !;
il indebted to larger amount, an appeal may
be made TO the Supreme Court by either par
~. If, upon examination, the commissioner
shall find there has been full disclosure and
delivery, he may grant discharge.
The commissioner is to ba allowed SIS per
day, aud So for his warrant to the messenger,
(,he person appointed to take charge of the in
solvents estate.) The creditors are represent
ed by assignees. The commissioner is al
lowed clerk. The messenger, clerk, and as
signees are 10 receive such compensation as he
may prescribe.
The Supreme Court is TO have general su-
perintendence, as a court of chancery, in all
questions arising under this act. The Bill is
now in the hands Of the Judiciary Committee.

Political Offences.

zen. Cass in advocating the release of the
Irish Patriots said:

lives, and are pursued at the hazard Of every
earthly good, as Washington and host Of

ern days pursued their patriotic enterprises.
Nothing more distinctly marks the improved
condition of public feeling than the abolition

they are often noble men, as are those whose
case engages our attention, and who deserve
the kind interest of the world, both from
their motives and ihei- character, and also
from the position, once high aud now low, to
which they have fallen, and liz consequence

SUBMARINE VESSEL An experiment
was made yesterday with this novel vessel
by its inventor, Mr.. Lambert Alexandra, at
the United STATES Navy Yard, in presence of
a number of scientific persons officers and
others. The place chosen for submerging
his vessel was in the channel, a short distance
from The entrance of the Dry Dock. At
twenty-fcur minutes past one, the machine,
with purity of three, descended 10 the bot
tom ;alter remaining eleven minutes, signal
was given for its recall three minutes after
this,t reappeard at the surface, making the Pc
Rod of total submersion equal to fourteen
minutes. The depth of water was about
twenty-five feet, and all present seemed sat-
isfied that M. Alexandra had complete con
troll over this massive and curious machine.
Whether il will he enabled to perform all
the services of which its inventor claims that
it is capable, yet remains to be proved by
actual experiment; but the scientific princI-
pies upon which il is conducted, leave little
reason 10 npprehend failure in any essential
points.-Journal Of Commerce.

Maine Ships and Seamen.

The following just tribute of praise to
Maine shipbulders and seamen, we copy from
the New York Mirror:
Two sister ships from Maine, fresh from
The shipyards al ThomastUn in that State
nre now lying. on Opposite sides of The pier,
Al the North River termination of 18Th street.
They are taking i'll the iimbers Tor The new
sectional dry dock ut San Francisco. These
timbers re all fitted for their places. Some
Of Ihen are monster brams.
One of these new ships is the Empire; a
beautiful clipper. modelled 10 cut the deep
swiftly, and doing great credit 10 the builder.
She is finely adapted 10 take out the Caliior-
mia men, being remarkably well lighted, aud
planned for easy ventilation. Her cabin is
handsomely finished. Her middle deck is
fitted up with state rooms and all the space
appropriated to passengers, is airy and pleas
ant. She will 5000 make her appearance
somewhere down town; and those who
wish 10 make swift voyage round the
Horn, will do well TO visit this new Eastern
adventurer upon the ocean.
The Empire is commanded by Capt.
Thorndlke, the brother of the builder. The
Maine men know how to build vessels, aud
how to manage them. No State in the I'm
ION builds SO many vessels as Maine, anu
none seeds forth more intelligent and noble
hearted navigarors. It's forests furnish such
supplies OF .hiptinher, and lis many fine har-
b0rs SO invite the presence Of ships. that the
young men, rendered vigorous by the fine
climate, md educated 10 manly enterprise
in an intelligent community, naturally be-
take themselves TO the ocean. A Maine
Captain and maIo, especially if nided by a
Maine crew, may lie considered very high
recommendation of any vessel. With what
class Of naviga,ors would any man more
cheerfulIy venture round The continent!
The Empire !--what name to be chosen
by the sturdy republicans OF the forest State
How much better 10 have named the vesse
the Republic. That name would have
suited her. She is sharp. light looking, al
though large, and bears the appearance oil
having been formed il the spirit Of Young
America.
The Queen of the Fast is the sister shil
above referred 10. She is oil different m ode
and inferior arrangement, but is n noble yes
sci.
The Grecian, which has just sailed fol
California, is another new clipper ship bull
in Maine, ana a beautiful piece Of naval ar
chiteciure. She went ont with fine com
pany Of California boys-rrom,sing young
men from parts OF the country where all are
well educated, and where all are INSTRUCT Ell
to look out for themselves, and 10 make theiI
own way in the world.

Engineers Report.
To the Hon. Mayor, Aldermen, and Comm
Council. for the Gin of Bath:

To the Hon. Mayor, Aldermen, and Commtn
Council, for the City Of Bath:
GENTLEMEN In compliance with the ordi-
nance regulating the Fire Department, pre-
sent for your consideration my Annual Report.
The several Companies having charge of The
Engines, during the past year, have most faith
fully performed the duties assigned them; an
examination of the rolls shows but very few
absentees, when called out by fire or false
alarm, aud | am pleased 10 say, that SO far as
my knowledge extends, not one act of tiscord
has been shown by any individual connected
with the Department.
The expenses for the past year have been
somewhat increased by the large amount Of
repairs of hose, despatching Engines to fires,
and slight repairs on Engines, mostly occa-
stoned by the extra service performed by the
Engines over any previous year.
Engines 2 and 3 are believed 10 be in good
condition. but No. will need two new cylin-
ders, as those now in use, are SO thin and pre-
sent so uneven a surface as very materially to
injure the capabilities of the Engine The ar
engagements for placing the hooks ladders at
fires the past year, have been saving TO the
city, over what would have been, had a suffi-
cient company been raised TO take charge of
that apparatus.
Accompanying this will be found schedule,
showing the particulars in regard TO fires, as
required by the Ordinance. While our city
has been visited by an unusually large number
of fires, | think ii can safely be said that had
it not been for the efficiency of our Companies,
the loss of property would have been far great
err, than is now shown.
Most respectfully,
Your obedlent servant,
J. G. RICHARDSON,
Chief Engineer

Wouldn't Fight,

We have not seen anything in the Congress
sionai record. says the Salem Register. that
has pleased US more than Mr.. Senator Rhett's
allusion to ducling. Mr.. Clemens and Mr..
Rhett have been bandying words in their
speeches of late, until they descended to the
grossest personalities. The scene was contn-
ucd in the Senate on Saturday. at which time
the South Carolina Senator made the remarks
which confer upon him so much honor.
When Mr.. Clemens had finished his part of
this personal affair, Mr.. Rhettssaid it had been
intimated to him, that, instead of indicating
himself in reply, ne should have challenged
Mr.. Clemens right of. He would tell the SEN
stor why he had not challenged him. There
were two reasons. He had a great desire to
accomplish the ends of the great cause with
which he was identi6ed-the maintenance of
State rights. Another reason was, that no. for
fscenty years, had been professor of the religion
Of Christ. and he could and .oould not dishon-
or that religion by resort to any such measures
The Senator was entirely mistaken if he sup
posed he had not challenged him through fear
Of him. He feared God more than he did man,
and you'd rather encounter the opprobrium Of the
latter than dare the anger Of the former. He
was not afraid of any man. but there were
many ways Of displaying courage. In that
body he stood alone-yet did he not quail be-
fore any man there!
Mr.. Clemens replied. He was not aware,
till after the adjournment on Friday. that the
Senator belonged to the church. That knowl.
edge had induced him to spare the Senator in
many things to-day. lie was not aware of it
when he spoke on Friday.
1t is so seldom that we find anything 70
praise in the sentiments of South Carolina
statesman. that we desire to give due promi.
nence and all credit to Mr.. Rhett for his noble
declaration. 1t displays more tru. courage
than though he had been the 1miss-called hero
OF hundred duels. -'

City Marshal's Report.
To his Honor, the Mayor, and Board of Al
deTmen:

To his Honor, the Mayor, and Board of Al
dermen:
GENTLEMEN BY the requirement of the
City Ordinance, submit my annual Report.
During the past year nothing serious has &C.
CURED 10 disturb the quiet and good order of
our city. The whole number of arrests was
one hundred and seven. The offences causing
these arrests are as follows for violating
Liquor Law. forty; twenty-six of whom were
foreigners and fourteen Americans. Eleven
were acquitted and actions were sustained
against twenty-nine. Four of these were COM
'hi'Iu 10 jail, and four absconded.# Forty for
ulu"sehness' iwenty-nine foreigners and elev-
{" h"'ei i1ahs eight for larceny eight for
assault anu odt'ery; receivers of stolen goods.
three night walkers, two arson one bur.
| glary and robbery, one store breaL;no ono
disturbing schools, one. Twelve bavs 49,
committed twice, three committed ,brea ,;roas
one four times, and one five times. This nnro'
Der may seem large, but as far as have beon
able TO ascertain, the number of commitment.
in this city is less than in any other of the game
population and business in New England.
During the time have been in this Office, |
have observed that the fertile cause of all that
requires police interference, is clearly traceabe
TO one fountain, intemperance. Indeed, can
scarcely call TO mind single case that does
not owe lis origin 10 this great evil, and with
this fact before me, have made an effort dur
ing the year to bring the law 10 bear upon the
fountains of misery and crime-the places
where liquor is sold Many citizens, particu-
larly for the past few months, have encouraged
the police in this effort, but to accomplish the
work as il should be, would require the united
effort of the police, which have not had. That
a powerful check has been given to The keepers
of these haunts is doubtless true. But police
as small as ours is wholly inadequate TO de-
stroy them. The united exertion of every
good citizen, as well as the whole city govern
ment, is needed to break up these sources of
pollution, which send forth their Victims to
commit all these crimes, while they hope TO
escape the punishment that should So justly fall
on their own heads, and not on those who have
been deluded by them. Several stores we're
broken open during the fall, and for awhile the
vigilance of the police was euded but, by in
creasing the night watch one of the burglars
was taken in the act, and now stands convict
ed
The watchmen employed the last year, have
assisted very much TO keep order and quiet in
the streets during the night, and have been
vigiant in the discharge Of their duties. /
would recommend that the present number of
watchmen be continued the ensuing year.
Respectfully submitted,
CT. GREENLEAF, City Marshal.

To COMPUTE 1NTEREsT.-A correspondent
OF the Baltimore Sun communicates the fol-
lowing simple plan for computing interest a,
six per cent. per annum for any number of
days, which he learned, he says, twelve
years ago:
Divide the number of days by six, and null
tply the dollars by the dividend the result is
the interest in decimals: cut off the right
hand figure, and you have it 10 dollars and
cents thus What is the interest on $500
for twenty-one days! 81 divided by 6 is 8 10,
100 multiplied by 10 is $50, or IS cents.
Again what is interest on 1878 for ninety
three days? 90 els 1-2; 37S X Is 1-2-
5 $50, or S. IS 10. Let book-keepers try
this rule, and they will find that il is no hum

tT In an article upon the qualifications Of
