NEW HAMPSHIRE.
The Political Situation.

CONCORD, n. H., February 29.-lt is
of course impracticable to predict with
any degree OF certainty the result OF the
election in this State, which takes place
a week from next Tuesday. The princi-
pal parties are so evenly matched that
the triumph of either cannot be surpris
ing to any calm observer. The
campaign is OF more than usual interest,
as it involves the election OF United
States Senator and opens the Presi-
Dental contest, and, in fact, seems to
be more of a national than State
canvass. Seldom il ever has there
been so active and spirited contest in
this State as the one now going on.
Each party is being conducted by the
ablest political managers in the State,
namely, Hon. E ii. Rollins for the
Republicans and Hon. John G. Sinclair
TOR the Democrats, and each is iaboring
with the most untiring energy, and
seeks to achieve a victory for his party.
Both Rollins and Sinclair have some.
thing at stake in the election, as they
will probably be nominated by their
respective parties as candidates fer
Senator Each have claims that can
not be disregarded by their parties, and
as TIE election Of a Senator depends
upon the Legislature to De elected this
year, they are OF course stimulated to
the greatest exertions.
The Republicans claim that they
shall elect their candidate for Governor,
Mr. Straw, by the people; have ma
jority in the House, and carry the
Senate by one or two majority; that the
election OF last year was no true test Of
their strength in the State, but that they
allowed it to 60 by default; that the
defeat was due not to popular sentiment,
but to general apathy and discrimina-
ton in their own ranks, caused in part
by unpopular nominees. On the other
hand the Democrats are equally conf
dent Of success, and claim that they
shall re-elect Governor Weston by the
people; have working majority in the
House, and elect six Senator and defeat
choice in one or two other Districts.
They also claim three OF the Council
lors and that they shall carry Merri-
mack, Belknap, Carroll and Grafton
counties. They argue that the result
OF last year was due to the de gust OF a
number OF the people with the manage.
ment OF State and national affairs, and
that there is no more harmony in the
Republican party now than there was
last year. There is an army OF
speakers in the field and more coming.

was scandalous, and yet, in such piece
of vllainy as this, the effort was made
to get up this reflection on their own
country by these Senators. The ques.
ton then recurred on the motion OF
Mr.. Hamlin to lay the preamble on
the table. 1t was carried-ayes, 4G
nays, l.
Mr.. Sumner said il the Senator choose
to reopen this conflict he wound say
that it was no such thing. The pre-
amble had done its work, and the
resolution had been adopted. This had
been the array of the numbers against
the two Senators. The others had
defended the President of the United
States. He (Sumner) had not made
one allusion to the President. :,
Mr.. Conkling said he must find fault
with his friend from Indiana. He had
said the Senator from Massachusetts
confessed the disastrous overthrow OF
his preamble by voting to lay it on the
table, but when, after all the brave
words OF the Senator, he had wanted TO
meddle away his preamble out OF sight.
That was the real intention.
Mr.. Cameron moved to reconsider the
vote laying the preamble on the table.
The Senate, at 80 P. NJ. adjourned.

Jail Deliyery-Great Excitement.

On Monday afternoon about four
o'clock the jaiior discovered that Pat
Quinlan, Of Wheeling, who is to be tried
at our present term on an indictment
for an assault with intent 10 kill, had
made his escape from our lron-cad
Jail. How he got out was the mystery.
The prisoners stated that the jail was
unlocked by some person the night
before between ten and eleven o'clock,
and Pat walked out. To do this it
was necessary to unlock five locks.
The Sheriff claimed that this could
not have been done with the keys Of
the institution, for it was his custom
to take them 10 his room at night, az
he did on this occasion, where they
remained until he delivered them to the
jailor in the mornng. The Sheriff
Immediately telegraphed to Pittsburgh,
offering a reward OF $50 for his
apprehension, and started in person to
Wheeling. On the arrival OF the
Wheeling 'buss in the evening it was
announced that Quinlan had been seen
in Bridgeport at eight o'clock Monday
morning and in Wheeling during the
day.
The Sheriff procured assistance in
Wheeling and proceeded to hunt him
up. They found him in saloon, and
after severe struggle, in which Pat
came of considerably worst, they
brought him back to jail about two
o'clock on Tuesday morning. The
Doctor dressed his wounds and he is
now comparatively comfortable.
Pat has thrown some light on the
manner OF his getting out He says he
walked out at six o'clock on Monday
morning, while the jailor was taking
out the ashes and bringing in the coal.
The jailor suppoSing that the prisoners
were securely locked in their cells, lett
the outside door open as usual while
he was doing his morning work.
The mystery is how did he get out
Of his cell ? 1t is supposed that he
must have hid himself and was not
in his cell the night before when. the
jaior locked the cell, and knowing the
custom of the jsilor, awaited his
coming in the morning. The girl
living with the Sheriff says she saw
him 90 out at six o'clock on Monday
morning but did not know that he was
a prisoner, as he was dressed up in his
best clothes.
The Wheeling papers stated at the
time Of his incarceration that he would
remain in our jail until he should see
proper to leave. as he never yet STAYED
in any Jail longer than he desired. This
looks like Pat merely desired to make
their prophecy good, as he don't seem
10 have acted as though he wished to
get away. We think, however, he
will have a good time getting out again.
His trial is set for March 18th.

West Virginia and the State Debt.

We have read report Of the speech
es made recently in the West Virginia
Convention on the subject OF the State
debt. Messrs. Wiley, Faulkner, 10.
II. Pendleton, Wheat, OF Wheeling,
Matthews, Fitzhugh and Travers, were
bold in their opposition to everything
even squirting at reputation. Messrs.
Wilson, Martin and Lurty were non
committal, but none Of them expressed
a wish to get rid Of whatever portion OF
the debt West Virginia owes. No
other speeches are reported. Itsppears
thus that there are no regulators in
the Convention. What that body did
was to omit all reference to the debt
from the new Constitution, leaving the
subject entirely in the hands OF the
Legislature. We are glad that it is no
worse.
Senator Wiley said Virginia agreed
TO the creation OF the new State upon
condition that il should pay its part OF
the debt, aud if it refused so TO do, Con.
gress might remand it back to i,s moth.

Mexican Affairs and Depredations.
BROWNSVILLE, February 29.-Reports
from Tampico, Mexico, state that the
the city of San Luis Potosi has been
captured by the Revolu:ionists under
General Trevino.
A meeting Of prominent stock rails
ers has been called here for the purpose
Of terminating the depredations OF
Mexican desperadoes. The stock rails
ers, in the absence OF support from the
United States Government, advocate
protection to themselves by reprisals on
the property Of inhabitants Of Mexican
territory. The feeling against the Mex.
icans is very bitter in this vicinity.

Sale of Arms to be Investigated.
New YORK, February 29.-The fol-
lowing is special from Washington to
the Herald: Mr.. Williams, of Indiana,
chairman Of the committee on Expendi-
lures in the War Department, expresses
hi, intention to push an investigation
into the sales OF arms by the United
States during the progress OF the
Franco-G erman war, and will summon
Senators Sumner and Schurz before the
committee to tell all they know at an
early day. The Secretary Of War aud
the Chief o. Ordnance also will be
examined at length very soon.
Seward on the Treaty.
An interviewer with ex-Secretary
Seward, at Auburn, yesterday, elected
his opinion on the Washington Treaty.
He considers that a great omission
exists 10 the present treaty, because it
does not insist upon an apology by
England for the Queens proclamation,
but that war with England is i'm
probable, and that the time for settle
ment Of the Alabama claims has not vet
arrived. The demand tor a sum OF
money for consequential damages is, in
his opinion, beneath the dignity of our
Government.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A GENTLEMAN

frock," said British officer, as he
brought his fiery horse to stand in
front of Governor Chittenden' 5 dwell =
ling. ''can You inform me whether
his Honor, the Governor OF Vermont,
resides here?'
He does" was the response of the
man, still vending has way to the

Is his Honor at Lome?" continued

Take my horse by the bit, then.
said the officer. Il have business to
transact with your master"
Without second bidding, the man
lid as requested, and the officer hav

hearty raps with his whip; for. be 1t
known, in those days of republican
simplicity, knockers and bells like
servants, were in but little use.
