THE NEW HAMPSHIRE AND PREsI-
DENTTAI. ELECTIONS.

The Democracy seem TO be making
Herculean efforts to carry New Hampshire,
with view to interior results upon the
Presidential election. The Concord cor
respondent of tne New York Herald says:
To-day there are not less than hun
bred leading Democrats IN the city from
all quarters of the State, their mission be
ing to report progress aud consult upon the
details necessary to push the campaign
through to successful termination. They
are all very sanguine of carrying the State,
and claim that every day they are gaining
accessionB TO their ranks from disaffected
Republicans From close observations in
this and other sections of the State, i must
confess tha l am not prepared 10 dissent
materially from the confidence manifested
by the moderately RAnguine Democrats.
While the Republicans do not confess that
defeat ia in store for them, they manifest
considerable uneasiness al the confidence
and enthusiasm Of their opponents. The
Democrats are very silent on the Presi-
Dental question, but the Republicans are
az enthusiastic as ever for Gen. Grant. II
reports are trne, however, there will soon
he a powerful undercurrent at work here
agains. him. learn from good authority
that Gen. Butler lie preparing a pamphlet
giving his military and political history,
aud among the charges which il will al
tempt to prove, will be those Of repeated
acts of drunkenness, backed up by sworn
afidavits Of certain officers under him.
This document, il is said, will be circulated
prior TO election. both in New Hampshire
and Connecticut"

TuEIAw LEASING THE PENIrEN-
TIARY

IL will have been noticed in our columns
Yesterday, under the head Of Legislative
proceedings, that Senator Lindsey pro-
posed an act to repeal thelaw authorizing
the leasing Of the penitentiary. We can
not see how this can be done, Has not
a contract been made and entered into
under the law? Have not the parties to
that contract expended large amount
Of money under the contract? Would
not law to repeal this law impair the
obligation Of contracts p Would it not
interfere lcith and destroy rested rights ?
Would not such a law violate the consti-
tuition Of the State and of the United
States? Would not the law be, in effect,
&c post facto, disregard vested rights, i'm
pair the obligations Of contracts, violate
the constitution both of the State and OF
the United States, and do irremediable
wrong to the lessees This is matter
of grave importance and great magnitude,
both in principle and in the material in
terests to be effected. We do not know
the fact, bat we are informed that the
lessees, under the contract, have ex-
pended on machinery $4,000, and on
material on hand over $4,000. What is
10 become of this machinery and mas
terial? Who is to sustain the loss on it ?
From the complaints we have heard
about the penitentiary; it might be well
to change the law and make new ar,
rangement, but certainly this cannot be
done without the consent Of the lessees.
We suppose from what We have heard
from Legislators, that change in the adj
ministration Of the penitentiary ought to
be effected If a change can be made to
save to the State the large amount paid
out Of the treasury to the officers under
the law. il certainly should be done We
believe over 10000 is paid to officers and
employees abont this institution, and Sj0,-
600 to 100000 for he feeding, clothing
and support Of the convicts oYer and
above what the lessecs pay for the labor,
IL this can be saved 10 the State we
trust it will be done, and if Senator
Iindsley can effect this, he viii deserve
the gratitude Of his State The peni-
Tertiary should be so arranged that the
salary Of officers should be dispensed
with, and the lessees arranged with to
pay for the support and maintenance Of
the cOnvicts. We believe this can he
done, and if this is Mr. Lindsleys object,
we hope he may succeed. But it should
be done so as not to interfere with con
tracts and vested rights

ONE Of The best informed add most in
telligent correspondents at Washington
writes thus
But, at the same time that say there
will be no material alteration of the present
financial status, am free to say that 1t is
more than probable-indeed, it is almost
certain-that the needs of the country, or,
rather, the deficiencies in the revenue, will
imperatiyely require the Secretary OF the
Treasury to issue additional greenback
currency. In fact, in such issue see the
only escape from actual Reputation of debts
Of, and claims upon, the treasury of all de-
scriptions. The amount of the duties on
imports and the internal revenue is rapidly
declining. The country just now certainly
cannot stand the interest on a fresh loan,
for it is not paying its way to-day, at the
same time that every industrial interest
is represented here by parties seeking relief
from taxation. 1t is proposed to collect
the entire internal revenue from a few
articles, principally whisky, tobacco and
incomes but the fact is, the two former Of
them are yielding nothing at present, while
the receipts OF the latter are rapidly falling
of. Iii only a question of time, then,
when Mr.. McCulloch viii himself be COM
PEELED to start the financial engine on the
downward track Of indefinite initiation, with
no time set, or no station marked, at which
the brakes of contraction are again TO be
applied. And, also, il would seem to mt"
TO use one of Mr.. Lincoln's peculiar phrases,
that the gold market has toueked IFS lowest
point Tor some time to come.
