NEW HAMPSHIRE.

The State election in New Hampshire
takes place to-day. The campaign has
been short. The hills and valleys of the
Granite State have echoed with the heav-
lest peals of oratory, while the silent work
Of organization has gone on in the most
effective manner. There will be no stay
at-homes to-day in the State. no lack of
interest or enthusiasm. 1t is hand-to-
hand fight. the result of which can only be
decided by the count of the votes. Last
year the vote was as follows:
James Pike (rep) ,,o.,
James A. Weston <dem) q, 200
Samuel +. Cooper Qabor reform ~
Albert g. Comngs temperance slt

The total vote i'll the State was Go. 729.
The democratic candidate received sOs
votes more than the republican. but lack
ed 329 votes of a majority. Thus there
was no election of Governor bv the peo-
pie. 1t then devolyed upon the legisla-
ture to make choice. which was effected
by coalition between the democrats and
labor reformers, resulting in the election
of Weston, the democratic candidate.
In 1870, the republican candidate was
elected by majority over all of 1853
The vote that year was as follows:

The total vote was 8,47l. The labor
reform and temperance vote was consid-
erably larger than last year, the demo-
cratic party having absorbed in 1871
large part of those factions.

great importance this year, as upon il will

A charitable society in the West has now
ell ard most agreeable method of raising mon
ey for various benevolent objects. Any man
sufficiently blessed with courage and ready
cash, takes his seat in the middle of the room
and pays ten cents into the treasury for every
lady that will come up and kiss him. OF
course the devotion Of the ladies to the good
cause is meaured by the number of smacks
that the man gets, and the "cause" must take
all the credit and all the blame for the kiss
ing, very nice arrangement for shifting the
responsibility. A handsome and agreeable
man, now, We imagine, must needs be well
furnished with dimes at these fairs.

THE SUPPLEMENTARY TREATY.

The Supplementary Treaty propo-
sition made to our Government by the
English Government. after being the
subject of two or three days delibera-
tions in the Senate Committee on For
eign Relations, has received the sanction
of a majority of the committee, with an
amendment proposed by Senator Patter-
son, providing against all British claims
upon our Government growing out of the
Fenian raids into Canada.
The question is now before the full
Senate, where it is likely to be discuss
ed pretty thoroughly before receiving
the assent of that body. Mr.. Sumner
is said to be very strongly opposed to it
as an abandonment of what he regards
as the most vital issue between the two
countries. This was to be expected, in
asmueh as the question of "consequen-
tial damages may we'll be claimed as
Mr.. Summers own thunder" We sus-
pect he can lay claim to being the first
statesman, if not the first man, in Amer
lea to propound the idea of holding
England responsible for the expenses of
the war from and after the battle of
Gettysburg.
We suspect the majority of the think
ing men of America never believed in
any such RESPONSIBILITY, and never ex-
pected England to admit any such re-
sponsibility. President Grant and Sec
rotary Fish certainly did not believe in
it, three years ago, since the first fault
found with Mr.. Motley was in relation
to his too urgent pressing of this very
claim.
How, then, came it afterwards to be
made the first and chief part of the
american case" presented to the arbi-
traitors at Geneva? President Grant
and Mr.. Fish can tell, we doubt not.
We can only guess. And our guess is
that they trusted the preparation of the
cease" to Caleb Cushing and Bancroft
Davis, the government attorneys, and,
afterward, did not like to go back on
these their subordinates. Whatever the
explanation, it has been the fruitful
source of an unpleasant agitation in both
the countries interested, and has come
put too near breaking up all pending
negotiations on the subject of the Ala
bama depredations.
The supplementary Treaty is per-
haps, the best way out of an awkward
predicament. AS such, we hope to see
it approved by the Senate, as we are
sure it will be approved by the best pub
lie sentiment of the United States
Concord Monitor.

VERMONT MUTUAL FIRE INSUR-
ANCE COMPANY.

The officers of the Vermont Mutual
Fire Insurance Co., have issued a PAM
phlet of sixteen pages, in vindication of
charges made by the agents of the Farm
ers' Mutual Fire Insurance Co., in which
they show the superior advantages of In
surfing in the Vermont Mutual, it being
safer, cheaper, and its plan of doing bus
mess much better. We make the fol-
lowing brief extract from the last page:
A brief statement will demonstrate the
superior cheapness of insuring in the
Vermont Mutual It's theory is to in
sure for each year of the six its policies
run, at actual cost. All of its accounts
are annually squared. The balance of
the per cents. in excess of incidental
expenses" is annually applied to pay
the accounts of Closes and the usual
small balance in the treasury is applied
in the same way; and therefore the an
nual assessments are made to meet the
balance only of the sum required to pay
the losses In this mode, insurance is
reduced to actual cost every year, includ-
ing interest on the losses of each year
for half year only on the average
The theory of the Farmers Company is
different, being to insure, not for the cost
of each year, but of five years. Hence
it takes in advance what it regards as
enough to cover the five years, and the
consequence is the great loss of interest
to its members, which we have explained
and this practically enhances the ac-
tual cost of insurance in it. The Stock
Companies are out of the question, when
compared with either the Vermont Mu-
tual or the Farmers Company. This is
the simple truth as to really good Stock
Companies, as is shown by the three
facts, that they pay their agents large
commissions, the newspapers large sums
for advertising, and their stockholders
large profits. If any Stock Company
offers truly cheap insurance, that fact
raises a reasonable doubt as to its safe
ty. We think our assailants must and
do understand these things; but if they
do not, they are fit neither to cr;ticise
the Vermont Mutual Company, nor to
act as agents for others.
We now place it in the hands of our
agents, for the benefit of persons seeking
insurance, that they may understand
correctly the course of our company, and
be guarded against the unfair and I'M
just statements of at least interested, if
not strongly prejudiced, insurance agents.
We advise all who have property to
insure to call on the agents of the Yer
mont Mutual and procure and read a
copy before insuring in other companies.

VIZ Z1ACA%LItOL Wv.
An ecclesiastical council convened at
West Charleston, May %, for the pur-
pose of dissolving the pastoral relation
between Rev. A. G. Childs and the Con-
gregational church in that place, with
the following result:
That in view of the state of feeling
existing towards the spator, as represen-
ted by the committee of the church, we
deem it expedient that the relation be
dissolved, and the same is hereby de-
clared to be dissolved when the church
shall have adopted the result. In COM
ing to this result the council, while COM
mending the kindness and candor of the
church in presenting their case, take &C.
casion to caution all our churches against
allowing accumulating causes of slight
import to weaken their affection for
faithful pastor, thus contributing to the
UhoodDlChCoo VI Vic ICldUlOu. Anu 1uT-
Their, the council are able to declare with
great satisfaction, that they have found
nothing in their investigation of the
causes which have led to this dissolution,
to impair their confidence in the essen
tial integrity of the christion or minis
terial character of the retiring pastor,
whom, accordingly, they hereby COM
mend to the confidence of the churches,
as, IN their judgment, an honest, faith
full and useful minister of the Lord Je-
sus Christ; who carries with him their
tender sympathies and earnest pray
ers for his further prosperity in the
work of the Lord, wherever Providence
may assign his labors.
