kEWHtNPSHIRE.

The New Hampshire Legislature meets to-
morrow. and we shall soon know whether the
Lower House is Democratic or Republican;
how the vacancies in the Council and Senate
are to be filed, and whether Weston, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, will be
chosen TO that office The DemOcratslcOunt
two of the Labor RefOrmersn on their side,
and claim a majority of three in the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES. One of the Senate vacancies
arises from the death Of the Democrat elected.
In such cases the State Constitution says:
"And in case there shall not appear TO be
in any district the deficiencies shall be
supplied in the following manner, The members Of
the House of Representatives and such Senator'S shall
be declared elected shall take the Of the two per
sons having the highest number Of votes in the district
and out OF them shall elect by joint ballot the Senator
wanted for such district and in this manner all such
vacancies shall be filed up every district Of the State
and i'm like manner all vacancies in the Senate, arising
by DEATH removal out Of the state otherwise shall
be supplied as soon "a may be- after such vacancies
happen"
The Interpretation of the words /" in like
"manner governs the whole question. The
Democrats claim that they mean simply that
vacancies arising by death shall be filed. The
letter of the Constitution seems to be against
them, though the provision, it must be con-
fessed, seems an absurd one. For suppose, as
is usually the case there are but two candi-
dates-must the people be represented by a
man they have just rejected'

Brentwood, n. H.. as any which we ever heard of
In certain schooldistrict the county pOorhouse is
situated. The County Commissioners claim the
right to send the poor children to this school, the
district authorities deny this right the pauper pupils
are refused admissions; and finally, by way of
clincher the school is closed altogether. We have
not stopped to inquire what lawyers would say upon
this question, and we need not stop to ask what
would be the opinion of decent Christian morasts
If this wonderfully exclusive school-district can
help these unfortunate boys and girls TO little cul
tare at an expense which will hardly ruin the tax
payers, we advise a general amnesty and the imme-
date reopenng of the school,

The Unitarian Sunday Society. which met
in Boston last week, received report from a
Ladies Commission" appointed in 1865 to inves-
tigate juvenile literature" with view to the ex-
purgaton of Sunday school Libraries; and their
discoveries, we must say, extremely melancholy.
OF 355i books examined by these ladies, they find
only 977 fit to be read y and even these were
divided into three classes LIST. Books To which no
exception is taken. I'd. Books not nit for Unitarian
children. Sd. Books tit for teachers but not lit
for scholars. We have great curiosity to see this
catalogue and think that its publication would be
of some service 10 parents, not few of whom have

Having had occasion to speak well of the Health
officer of Philadelphia, whose name is John h. Ad-
dicks, we may further mention to his credit
that he is after the doctors with an acute
stick 1t is their business, according to law,
to report to the Officer all cases COM
ing into their hands of pestilental or contagious
disease. Mr. Addcks has written to them a circular
letter in which he tells them plainly that if they do
not in future pay attention to the statute, he
will have the neglectful indicted for msdemeanor,
and fined $50 each He sends them blanks and Off
cial envelopes, and informs them that these may be
dropped, without prepaid postage into the Offices as
he has made special arrangement with the Post
master This looks like business and we hope will
bring the faculty to due sense of its responsibility

THE CASE OF Mr., CURTIS.

Mr.. George Ticknor Curtis, having been
asked whether the opinion lately given by
him concerning the conduct of Mr. ID. D..
Field in the Erie suits is to be regarded as
an argument or the expression of his personal
convictions, replies at some length through a
morning newspaper. The substance of his
letter is this: He was retained by "a FRIEND
Che might have said brother) of Mr.. ID. D..
Field, to give an opinion in the case, and was
very properly paid for his trouble. The
opinion is favorable to Mr.. Field and is
necessarily argumentative in form, but it
is nevertheless the honest expression OF
Mr.. Curtis's convictions, based upon
the printed controversy between his client and
Gen. Barlow and others, the records of the
Albany and Susquehanna litigation, and the
ex-parte statements of Mr.. Field and Judge
Barnard. "The function of a counsel in giving
IAN opinion TO client" says Mr.. Curtis,
differs from the function of an advocate in
"arguing a cause in court. In the latter func-
ton the advocate usually argues from his
convictions; but he is not bound to do so,
"and it is not material whether he does 50 or
mot But in giving an opinion TO client,
whether the matter Ia or is not likely to come
"befOre a court or before a tribunal OF any
kind lawyer, as | think, is bound to say
"what he believes to be true, and to affirm
nothing that he does net believe"
This is adroitly putt but it involves an
obvious fallacy. The opinion which lawye'
is expected to give his client is an opinion as

THE PRETENDER or CHISELHURST

THE PRETENDER OF CHISELHURST
Ii was two or three years ago that Carl
baldi, in one of those fervid poems which
make us wonder where the true field of this
rarely gifted genius les-whether as orator or
soldier or pOet-said of Louis Napoleon, that
the time would come when men might be
permitted TO pity him until then it was our
duty to hate him. The world has been wait
ing anxOusly for that day, and thus far with
out immediate prospect of fruition. He will
not allow us the luxury of ceasng to regard
him as a nOxiOus and dangerous thing. 1t has
seemed, several times in the course of the
last wear, as if the day were at hand when
we might lay aside our attitude of hostility
to him, and begin to contemplate that charac
fer of the elderly citizen, the fond husband
and devoted father, the somewhat stupid and
tiresome. but, on the whole, well-meaning
bourgeois, which, we are convinced lies latent
somewhere in the possibilities of NJ Bona
parte's life. His worst faults have been
those of the false position into which
tbe accident of his mothers husbands
name has forced him. Without particle of
the Corsican fire and ambition, he has felt that
because he was christened Napoleon, he must
straddle aongin the vast foot prints OF the great
Italian. Unlike the bird OF Andersens story,
he is an Ugly Duck whose life has been rem
dered wretched by the circumstance OF having
been born in an eagles nest This supposed
necessity of doing something worthy OF ms
name led him into the grotesque folhes OF

tnyippIe,s LuckD ut the Walnut.


Miss Leona Cavender, who made her first appear
ance in Philadelphia last evening in new sensation
by John Brougham, entitled Mtanie's Luck, is a
young lady who is evidently inspired by the remark
able genius of Lotta to attempt in the same
direction. She has expressive face, a fair amount
OF ability as a jiggist and banjost, and her singing
is quite good enough for the line OF business she
tempts While her manners are vivscious she lacks
entirely that peculiar kittenishness that is after ALL
Lottas principal attraction, and fancy that she
will find fame and fortune at the end OF a road OF
her own making sooner than she will by endeavor-
ing to tread in Lottas footsteps. Miss
Cavender appears to be somewhat ineXperi.
enoed, and the principal defect OF her performance
last evening was a want OF ease There was some
thing mechanical about it, although it did not lack
dash and vvacty. She appears to have more real
talent as an actress than Lotta, and some OF her
best points last evening reminded rather OF Mag
gle Mitchell, who is a genuine artist within
limited range. Minnie's Luck, the piece in which
Miss Cavender appeared last evening, is rehash of
very old material 1t relates how young girl, who
is brought up in the Streets is restored after null
tltude OF adventures to wealthy relatives from
whom she was abducted at early age, and the
various scenes OF the play arranged as to
allow the introduction OF great variety OF charac-
ters which are none the less attractive from the
fact they for the most part oaricaures The
dialogue is in Brodgham's happiest vein, and there
is a spirit OF humor in it that serves to redeem
commonplace plot and threadbare incidents.

THE DRUG EXLHANGE.
us Tenth Annual Meetlns this Noon.

At noon to-day the tenth annual meeting of
the Philadelphia Drug Exchange was held at
the rooms of the association, No. II South
Third street. The objects of this association
are to facilitate the purchase and sale of drugs
the common interest of its members, and the
protection of tee individual and united interests
of the drug trade. The rooms of the board
have been newly and comfortably furnished
There was full attendance of members, Robert
Shoemaker President, being in the chair
The tenth annual report was presented by
the secretary, Harrison Smith, which speaks of
the interruption in the progress and business of
the Exchange by the fire in June last, and which
then says:-
"On Monday, June g. meeting Of the Board of
Directors was held at the Office Of one Of your men,
bers, to take action suitable to the eXigences OF
the case, and at this meeting offers OF accommoda
tions were received from the Commercial Exchange
the Tobacco Board OF Trade, the Fire Association
and from NJ E. Ketterline The latter tenderiHg the
use of rooms in his new building on Arch street,
above Third.
'rThe committee accepted the offer made by the
Fire Association and declined with their earnest
thanks those OF the other bodies referred to. In
September the association got back to ats old
quarters, which had beens nsrepared and comfortably
and tastefuy fitted up, and in perfect order
"The report then speaks OF the meeting called in
December last to indOrse the movement TO secure
paid Fire Department. At that meeting. which was
large and spirited, preamble and resolutions were
adopted, and large and influential committee
chosen TO present the same to the Mayor, who then
munity generally fearing that he would veto the
measure, and it is no fattery TO you,' says the
report, to say that your action had its weight in
deciding him to give his sanction and name to the
bll.
"Your association numbers the same it did at the
last annual meeting (S4 membersl, Q firms having
been elected, resigned and dropped"
The report then speaks in appropriate terms
of the death of Mr. j. w. Dallam.
The members then enjoyed an appetizing
collation..

CITY INTELLA ENCE.
KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
Meeting of the Grand Lodge To- day.

This morning commences, In secrecy, the
annual session of the Grand Lodge of the
Knights of Pythias of Pennsylvania, at Handel
and Haydn Hall. This session is to the order
an extremely important one, for it will take
measures to check some wrongs now being per-
petrated that to the majority of the members
appear fragrant
Independently of the fact that the returns of
the late election for Graad Lodge officers will
be opened and counted, other issues will be
discussed at the meeting of the Knights of
Pythias. The S. L. has beer active in creating
Past Grand Chancellors by dispensation, and
ma joTity to endorse their course, which has
been condemned by Pennsylvania, Maryland
Virginia, New Jersey, Connecticut Massa-
chusetts, New Hampshire, Nebraska. District
of Columbia and other States. A full session
may be expected, as the action of Pennsylvania
will guide the Grand Lodges of the other States.
1t is contended that Mr.. George H. Jones' of
Carbon county, has been elected Grand Chan
cellor, while his competitor, Colonel John L.
Glenn, of this city, claims this honor. There is
also dispute as to the election of Grand Vice
Chancellor, William j. Macmillan, of this CITY,
claiming the return, while Morris II. Gorhau1,
James Mcintosh, and Daniel NJ. Blackburn, also
of this CITY, claim to have been elected. The
interest in the latter case is even greater than
that manifested in regard to the first office. The
views and inclinatons of the candidates rsla-
tive TO the order, or branch of the order, known
by the cabalistic characters Of the o. B. N,
have much to do with the decision of these grave
questions. Mr. Macmillan took an early and de-
cided stand against the order referred to, and
the count of the votes will show whether his
course has been sustained or not by the body of
the order.
