New HAMPSHIRE ELECrIoN.-The annual
election in New Hampshire has resulted as
usual in an Abolition victory. The State
has been so long joined to its black idol, that
the result brings no disappointment The
Democracy however made good big fight
for victory.

E The Presidential question, so far as
the Abolition party is concerned is assum
ing a new phase. Mr.. Chase, who has been
q candidate for nomination, with undoubtedi
ly strong support, having failed to receive
the Endorsement of the Legislature of bis
own State Of Ohio, has announced his wish
to retire from the canvass. Should be posi-
lively determine not to be candidate, Mr..
Lincoln is left the only candidate Of particu-
lar prominence in the field. 1t is true Frs'
mont has apirations, and some most deter,
mined friends, but there is no concentration
of strength that will give him the entire vote
Of any one State. With Mr.. Chase in the
field, we have held to the belief that Mr.. Lin
coln's chances for denomination were far
from certain-and made it quite probable,
that some one not now prominent, as likely
to bs selected in the send to harmonic all
interests. But with Mr.. Chase out Of the
way, the situation" entirely changes, and
leaves little to be done by a nominate on
convention than to follow out the rotine Of
the programme. But it is yet question
whether Mr.. Chase's friends will consent to
his retirement from the contest.

County OrFrclALs.-Mouday last WAS the day
on which the terms OF the new county officers
commenced under the law passed by the Legisa-
ture Of last year. On that day, as will be seen
BY the proceedings Of the County Court, Wm.
Sexton was recognized as Sheriff; and D. w.
Spear as County Clerk--the Court declining t,
entertain motion from Mr.. Hamilton, the coun.
sci of Messrs Gooding and Huntley to the effect
that their terms did not expire until March, 1865
In consequence Of this action, Messrs Sexton and
Spear have been acting as the officers Of the
County and District Courts during the week,
while Messrs Cooling and Huntley have been in
possession of the books papers ETC., of their re-
spectve Offices. We are not informed that any
formal demand was made by the officers elect
upon the incumbents.
Mr. Dickerson has commenced suit against Mr..
Banvard, for possession of the Treasurer's office;
and Mr.. Lyon against Mr.. Patton, for that of Re-
corder. A deison will probably be made by
Judge Mcfarland in these cases within few days
But we presume they will go to the Supreme
Court for final aducation whatever the decision
of the lower Court
On the whole county official matters have been
somewhat in a muddle this week, but is to be
hoped that many days will not expire before le-
gal decision will unrave the snarl The old
officers only desire to know whether they are en-
titled to hold Office for the terms stated in their
commissions; and understand that the officers
elect are desirous for legal settlement of the
difficulty.
So far as we are informed entire good feeling
has been preserved on all hands, and VIC doubt
not it will so continue between the contestants.
Since the above was written we understand thai
Messrs. Gooding and Huntley have delivered over
the books papers, aud all the charges appertan
ing to their respective Offices
