NEW HAMPSHIRE.
PORTSMOUTH, June 26.-Consderable excite
ment was created in the navy yard last night,
which resulted in calling out the marine corps
and entire watch. Felipe Demend, marine,
who was stationed as a sentinel in front of the
machine shop, reports that at half past ten two
citizens approached him; he halted them; they
gave the countersign, and one of them having a
bunch of keys in his hand, started to enter the
machine shop. The sentinel objected, where
upon the citizen said he was foreman of the
shop and must go in, and, making forcible
effort, was fOrcibly resisted by the sentinel,
whereup0n the latter was stabbed by one of the
citizens in the left breast, severng his belt and
clothing. Demend Immediately gave an alarm,
when he says his assailants fled across foot
bridge to Seavey's Island. Notwithstanding
every effort has been made, no person has yet
been discovered who could have been the person
he represents.
United States Senator Morrill, diued with
Commodore Pennock yesterday and will be a

CONCORD, June pa farm house in Sails
bury, owned by William Chippen and occupied
by John Lowering, was burned this morning,
together with the barn and outbuildngs.
Nothing was saved in the house. Loss about
$1,000; insured.
CONCORD, June 26.-Since Friday morning,
this city has been comparatively quiet in poll
tics; meanwhile the majority have had frequent
consultations as to questions of policy. Mr..
Bingham, the leader of the democrats, holds his
party well in hand, while behind him, working
outside with untiring energy, is Hon. G. Lin
coin. 1t is understood that the election cases
will come up first in the order of business on
Tuesday, and the committee will report on ward
two of Portsmouth, and take up ward one. The
testimony given in the ward two case shows in
all, 140 names the check list not legally there.
| On the other hand, Stacy Whittier, whom it was
| sworn had been dead five years, has sent in his
affidavit that he "stll lives" The probabilities
are that the members from wards one and two,
eight in number, will be sent home, the wards
having failed to keep a record of the ratable
polls of DOD-Voters, and consequently there is a
representation beyond the pollation.
The policy is, beyond doubt, to bring some
test question before the senate, that the position
of Senator Smith may be tested The majority
lack confidence in his support of their party
measures and removals, while the republicans
are confident that his life long political record
will not be falsifed Should he fail to support
the democracy, short session may be predict
ed, as Mr.. Bingham will press all business to a
rapid disposal, abandoning party measures.
No inference can at present be drawn on the
state officers, except that of Mr.. CogSwell as
treasurer.
The commissioners of the new capitol have
refused the demand of the stone cutters EN-
ployed on the edifice for the same wages, 81. so
per day of eight hours, as they now receive for
ten hours.
The house met at four O'Clock this afternoon,
and held a session of four hours. A message
was received from the senate, submitting a
resolution that the present session be brought
to close on Saturday next, and asking the
house to concur. The resolution was laid on
the table-12S to 1872. The case of Gage, sitting
member from Sutton, was taken from the table,
and the amendment to substitute the minority
report was lost-132 to 119. A motion to make
it the special order for tomorrow was also lost,
and the resolution was finally carried-129 to
| 1873.
CONNECTICUT.
HARTFORD, June 26.-The American Church
man of Chicago, leading Episcopal journal
of the west has been consolidated with the
Churchman of this city, and it is claimed that
this gives the consolidated journal a circulation
unparalleled in the history of journals of this
religious denomination in this country or in En-
land.

PROVIDENCE, June 26.-The Masonic grand
