The testimony Of Governor Campbell Of
Wyoming Territory, on the influence of the
feminine clement in the politics and legisla-
ton of that Territory, is favorable. He says
that as jurors, women at once made themselves
felt. The liquor laws were promptly enforced,
and disorderly houses promptly presented.
It is somewhat remarkable fact, that until
women sat on jures in Wyoming, no one had
ever been convicted of homicide. The first
trial for this offence, after the women became
Jurors, resulted in verdict Of guilty. Gov
ernor Campbell further states, that the pres
enes of women at the polls on election days
has had refining influence and has relieved
the harsher features Of such occasions. 1t
must be remembered that the Governor is a
strong advocate Of female suffrage

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.

A correspondents of the New York. Sun
writing from Concord N. H., writes as follows
about the coming election in that State:
As the day Of election approaches the con.
test becomes more animated. Both parties
are straining every nerve and resorting to all
sorts Of expedients From present indications
the election will be very close, and the result
is doubtful. The Republicans are literally
flooding the State with money, and rely upon
it for success. It is understood that s25 to
$50 will be the common price for votes, and
much beyond that in the close towns. Take
money out of the canvass and the Democrats
would win overwhelmingly The Grant, men
can easily throw a hundred thousand dollars
into the State, which will buy two thousand
voters ct $50 each. and make difference Of
four thousand in the result. The real issue
to be tried in New Hampshire is, therefore
whether the people have become 50 utterly
corrupt that they will deliberately sell them
selves to sustain the Administration. s

i A GIGANTIC COMET COMING. "A great
astronomer in Switzerland, NJ. Plantamour by
name, predicts the coming Of comet more
gigantic than any heretofore observed, which,
with iudeseribable velocity, is heading for this
unfortunate world, and will arrive on the 18th
day of next August. The first thing we shall
notice is that it is growing uncommon'y hot;
but this being quite usual on the 18th of Au-
gust, it is probable that very few of the in
habitants Of the earth will be ready for the
catastrophe which must inevitably follow.

DEMOCRATIC CAT PoLIcY.-A Washing.
ton correspondent of'thc New York Tribute
gives his idea Of the democratic policy during

f 'sThe democratic psrty is as noiseless as
catin pursuit Of her prey, while the agitations
of their adyersaries are in progress. II they
were all shod in sheep-skin shoes, with the
wool turned outward they could not move
more quietly. Butthey are preparing for the
final sqring with as determined an intent as
ever. They will encourage the growth of a
third party, torn from the republican organ
izations, to the last moment, and then they
will meet and nominate candidate of their
own, and showing moderate platform and a
conservative candidate, viii invite the, dis
