The View Hampshire Election.

The New Hampshire political campaign,
which closes next Tuesday with the annual
election, has Ieen the quietest one on rec
ord in that State. Neither party apparently
feels any wel-grounded confidence as 10
the result, and even the shrewdest party
managers hazard no definite predictions on
this point. The main disturbing element
which enters into the canvass is The liquor
question. The Republicans arc virtually
pledged not 10 NEEDLE with the present
prohibitory law of the State, while the DEM
ocrats have got license plank in their
platform, which is look ed upon as in reality
meaning free rum. But just how this
issue will affect the vote it is not easy to
see. There are many OF the better class of
Democrats who do not believe in a license
law, and who may, therefore, stay at home,
or possibly, In some instances, vote the Re-
publican ticket. On the other hand, there
are a very large number Of Republicans,
who, favoring the liquor interest, will vote
with the Democrats and ii is also true that
the main strength of the straight prohibit
ton faction, which has a full ticket in the
field, will be drawn fl. IN the Republicans.
Add TO this the fact that the widespread
dissatisfaction with the Administration
and the national Republican leaders, will
operate TO increase the gcAeral apathy and
diminish the Republican vote, and it must
be confessed that the prospects for that par
ty are not particularly bright. Still moth
ing can be gained by giving the State to The
Democrats, and much is expected from the
| fact that McCutchins, the Republican can
didate for Governor, is u farmer and a rep
resentaiive of the laboring classes, while it
cratic nominee, is pledged 10 the railroad
interests of the State. Moreover something
is 10 be hoped from the open revolt of Fos-
ter's Democrat of Dover, against the NOM
! ination of Weston, and the manner in which
it was brought about. This movement
| claims to have respectable following in
the Eastern part of the State, which, if true,
is so much in favor of the Republicans; but
it must, however, he said, on this point,
that the time has never been known, when,
on election day, every Democrat was Lot
brought to the polls and made 10 vote the
straight party ticket.
Gov. Straw is reported to have said, day
or two ago, in private conversation, that in
his opinion there will be no choice of Gov
ernor by the people, anu that the election
will come into the Legislature next June.
From our own information on the subject
we are inclined to think this prediction as
safe and reasonable as can DO made. With
such probability before them we may be
sure that both parties will exercise more
than their usual vigilance in the election Of
representatives to the next General Court.

The school just closed in Dist. No. in
this town has been a successful one, and
those who neglected 10 pay it a visit have
missed a treat with which they are not al
ways favored. Few schools can boast OF
better scholars or more punctual attend
ance. The twenty scholars Ia the district
who attended the school averaged nineteen
and one-seventh, and none were absent cx-
cept FROM the inclemency Of the weather,
sickness or unavoidable necessity. If we
were TO record the names OF those who
were not tarly, VIC should have 10 write
every name but one. and he was tardy only
twice; ten were not absent at all, and those
who were not absent were of course not
tardy. II should be remembered in con-
nection with these figures that the district
is not situated in a village, but many of the
scholars had to travel over roads which
were much Of the time covered with ice.
We claim this school to BE No. l, and think
the district was fortunate in procuring the
services OF their efficient aud Christian
teacher.

Our school closed Saturday, Feb. 81,
and was a success from the beginning. The
teacher, b. w. Harris, has proved himself
very efficient. The exhibition at the close

The fight over the Collectorshlp of the
port of Boston closed last Friday with the
triumph of Butler and the confirmation of
his favorite and appolntee, Simmons. The
Senate committee TO whom the nomination
of Simmons was referred, reported against
his confirmation; Senators Sumner and
Boutwell, were opposed to him and so were
also a majority Of the Massachusetts people,
nearly all the papers of the State, and a ma
jority OF the Massachusetts delegation in
the House; but in The teeth of all this op-
position Butler carried the day. The feel
Ing throughout the State in regard to the
matter is intense, and the end is not yet,
for the Massachusetts people are not quite
ready to yield themselves up 10 the beck
and call of a man so entirely destitute of
principle as Gen. Is. f. Butler is commonly
believed to be. So far as Smmonss moral
character, and his qualifications for the Of
fec, are concerned, there is no objection TO
him but 1t is charged that he is a profess
ional wire-puller, and an intriguing poll
tician, and that he will be willing tool for
Butler in his next campaign for the Gov
ernorship Of the State, as well as for any
other jobs which his chief may happen to
have in hand. onthe other side of the ques-
lion it is said, and doubtless with show Of
truth. that 1t Ia mainly the respectable"
and "Aristocratic" classes, the "hrst fami-
lies"s who live within the shadow of the
Boston State House, who feel themselves
outraged by this appointment; but in any
viey of the ease It is certainly to be regret
ted that in this matter President Grant
should have so entirely ignored the rules
ofcivll service reform, and have so readily
yielded himself up to the control Of one Of
the most audacious plotters and selEseek-
ers OF modern times.

Rum DID IT.-Late letters from the Sand
witch Islands show that the death of King
Lunalilo was directly occasioned by his in
temperance. For while AFTER he became
king he struggled maulully with his weak
ness for liquor, sought the advice Of the
missionaries, and seemed to be in earnest
In his efforts to reform. But the visit of
an English man of war, in July, with the
festivities attending it, were too much for
him, and he went on drunk which lasted
for days. During this time he slept out Of
doors one night, and being king, his at
tendants dared not disturb him. So what
might happen to common man happen
ed to him. He took cold, which resulted
In slow fever and threw him into an in
enrable decline.

The WAR IN AFRIcA.-The English
army under Sir Garnet Wolseley, which set
out from the coast in November for the
capital Of the Ashantees, seems to have met
with a serious repulse and to be in a dan
gerous situation. An army of 5000 regular
soldiers finds it much easier TO march 200
miles into an enemy's country than to
Keep its communications open and march
out again, especially when that enemy can
bring 100000 warriors into the field. I'm
der the greatest disadvantages Sir Garnet
Wolseley pushed forward until within a
days march of Coonlassie, the Ashantee
capital, and it was reported King Coffee
had sued for peace and offered satisfactory
terms. Now comes the news of a great
battle, in which the English lost heavily,
and, though the result was not decisive, II
puts the communications of the invaders
with the coast in danger, and may compel
their immediate retreat.
