yiews OF the Metropolitan Press

New YoRK, March 9.-The Tribune says
Of the New Hampshire election: Returns
from three-quarters of the State leave no
doubt Of the election of Onslow Stearns as
Governor, and Chas. p. Gage as Railroad
Commissioner by majorities of from /, 900
to 900. The Republicans elect all the
councillors but one, and have handsome
majorities in both branches of the Legisls-
ture-probably fifty majority in the House.
The World says that the New Hamp-
shire State election resulted in the success
of the Republicans but by greatly reduced
maiOrities Gov. Stearns will have a ma
jority of about Zoo over the three oppos-
ing candidates. His majority last year was
3, no and Grants majority was 7,6i7. The
Democrats have made some gains In the
Legislature, but not enough to effect any
result in combination with the Labor Re
formers. Popular vote shows that the Re
publicans hold their own in the State,
while the Labor Reform party draw all their
strength from the Democratic ranks.
The Returns
CoYCoED, n. H, March 9.-ODehundred
and sixty-four towns give Stearness %, 7S6,
Bedell APO, Finn 5,114, and Barrows
999. The returns so far show a net loss to
Stearns of about l, $50 from last year. The
returns at 10 O'Clock this morning show
still further loss to Stearns. Without
giving the summary, they indicate his re-
election by /, 200 or 1,5O0 majority. The
returns embrace about seven-eighths of the
State.
The Democrats have elected, probably,
four Senators, viz The fourth, sixth,
eighth and twelfth districts The Republi-
cans have carried the first, second, third,
fifth, seventh and ninth districts. The
tenth and eleventh are considered doubt
full, with prepondorance in favor of the
Republicans. -
The Republicans have carried four of the
five councillors districts, and the Demo-
Gratis one, same as last year
The House viii show little change, there
being probably forty or fifty Republican
majority in that branch.
D. LATER The returns from 2O2 towns
give Steans 32.9S7. Bedell %, S6i, Flint
&. S9S. Barrows l.159. The remaining town.
will give about 1900, leaving Gov Stearnl
majority at about 200. The Republican,
will have about fifty majority in the House
The Senators elect are four Republicans

and there is one vacancy.

HOW MIDSHIPMEN LIVE AT AN.
NAPOLIS

The fEmidshipmen" in the United States
Naval School at Annapolis live in the
large new building erected in 1868 at a
cost of $3.50, 900. II is a substantial edi-
fee of brick, with sandstone trimmings
three hundred feet in length and forty feet
in width, and four stories high. The
youngest class occupies the top story, the
second class the third story and the third
class the second story. The dining hall,
called the mess. room, is twenty-five by
forty feet, beautifully frescoed, and light
cd by sixteen large windows. The first
floor of the building is devoted to the
commandant's Office, reception-rooms and
recitation-rOoms. All the recitation
rooms are small as the classes recite in
squads of fifteen or twenty, and the desks
for the midshipmen are so constructed, in
open work, that the instructor can see
into and under every desk, so that there
is no canceling of notes or books to be
surreptitiously consulted by the students
"a somewhat suspicious precautiOn.
The lodging-roOms, each occupied by
two midshipmen, are plainly, almost bare
ly, furnished with two iron bedsteads, two
small wardrobes, two chairs, one table,
one ,,washstand, one looking glass, and
are heated by steam coils. Tin racks con-
tain the names of the occupants, and the
uppermOst name Is thai of the midship-
man who is responsible for the care and
cleanliness of the room for the week, each
occupant assuming this responsibility in
turn, and personally cleaning and sweep
ing the premises, and making the beds.
The young men live well Here is the
bill of fare for Feb. 8, 1870:
Breakfast Mackerel, Scotch herring,
cold meat, hot rolls, light bread, corn
bread, butter, tea and coffee.
Dinner Soup, roast beef, roast mutton,
coldslaw, potatoes, beets, hominy, rice,
bread and butter.
Supper-Milk toast, hot bread, Graham
bread, butter, tea and coffee.
On Fridays the midshipmen are in
dulged in oysters and fish from the Ches-
apeake, and on Wednesdays and Sundays
they are allowed dessert of apples and
| pies.
