CONCORD, June IS. The senate and house
met at four O'Clock, and in both branches the
committees were announced. Mr.. Bingham
democrat, presented the names Of twenty-five
republican members whose seats will be con-
tested, and Mr.. Wadleigh, republican, twelve
names of democrats. The Inauguration of Gov
Weston will take place on Wednesday, at twelve
O'Clock. Samuel b. Page, Concord, leading
democratic member of the house, is confined to
the house by indiSposition, resulting from over
eXertiOnS.
1t is probable that a molten will be made to
declare vacant the seats of the republican MEM
OerS from wards two and three, Manchester.
The former has two members and the other
four. The objections are that the wards have
not sufficient population for the ratio of repre-
sentauon. The Manchester democrats offer to
compromise if one representative from each
ward will resign. The Manchester democrats
are very lubilant, rather in excess of the other
parts of the state, if possible. Some desire TO
postpone the inauguration of the governor, so
as to enable them to invite Jim Fisk, Jr's, regi-
ment TO be present and join in the escort. They
are continent of its acceptance. Extra trains
in all directions will be run tomorrow, and
Concord will be full of people.
