NEW HAMPSHIRE.


CONCORD, March 11.-One hundred
and tifty-nine towns give McCutching
28, 1872; Weston IS, 494 Blackmer l sos.
These towns last year gave Straw 20, OPS :;
Weston 26,26l; Blackmer lao. There
are seyenty.five towns yet to hear from.
The council will probably stand Republi-
cans, 3; Democrats, 2. The Senate will
probably be tie: Republicans, s.; Dem
ocrats, s. In two districts there is no
choice. The House will be very close,
political complexion depending on the
towns that did not hold elections yester-
day but will elect to-day.
BOSTON, March 1.-THE Boston Adj
verIiser, remarklng upon the result of the
New Hampshire election, says: "After
making allowances for the special and To-
cal disturbances, which prevail to some
extent in all elections, the salient fact re-
mains that Republican majority, averag-
ing nearly $4,000 in the last ten years, has
bten wiped out, and that too. in favor of
party which could present no claim to
public confidence except as affordlng a
way of escape for Republicans who ieel
that IN their own party their confidence has
been sadly betrayed. New Hampshire
marks the inevitable tendency OF our poll
ties. The waning power of once popular
leaders, the unwilingness of large classes
OF intelligent voters to own allegiance to a
party which fails to keep its promises. the
settled increasing dissatisfaction of the
country with the administration as it mani
tests itself in its appointments and in its
treatment OF great questions of the hour"

HON. CHARLES SUMNER.

The very unexpected and painful intel
ligence is received from Washington Of the
sudden. alarming, and probably fatal ill
ness of the Hon. Charles Sumner, the
eminent statesman who SO worthily repre-,
sents the historic Bay State in the Senate
of the United States. The death Of so
distinguished a scholar and publicist, what
ever opinion may be held of the man,
must be regarded as public calamity.
We trust his valuable life may be spared,
but have no reason for hope that it will be
so. A
Charles Sumner was born in Massachu-
sets January G, 1911. His early educa-
ton was received at the Boston Latin
school, and he graduated at Harvard col
lege in 1880. He studied law under
Judge Story, and was admitted to the
bar in 1884; was reporter of the
United States circuit court, and re-
ported Judge Story's decisions; was
editor Of the American Jurst, a quarterly
law Journal of high reputation. In
1887 taught the law school; declined a
professorship Of the same in the College,
and shortly after sailed for Europe, where
he remained for three years. After his
return in ls44-'46 he published Vesey's
Reports, with annotations in twenty vol
ume s. In 1916 was engaged in oppos-
ing the annexation of Texas, on the
ground of slavery. In 1850. on the
entrance of Daniel Webster into Mr.. Fill
more's cabinet, Mr.. Sumner was chosen
to succeed him as Senator from Massachu-
setts. In that distinguished body he al
ways held a leading position, and was
chairman of many important committees,
notably for long time Of that on foreign
relations. His course as member Of the
Senate is too well known to need comment
at this writing.

boundary between this and that state.
Hope is expressed on all sides that the
case will not be taken to the United States
supreme court, but may be settled by ar
bitration as proposed by Maryland.
The bill fixing the time of holding the
circuit courts, and which is now a law,
goes into effect on and after one term has
been held in each county in the year 1874,
according to the prior existing arrangement
OF terms.
If good railroad fight in the Legisla-
ture would start genial flow Of green
backs in the corridors Of the Capitol and
outside precincts, the proposition for the
fight both in the General Assembly and
outside would be carried by a majority Of

is short but "our voice is still for war;"
The Governor to-day appointed John A.
Hillery, esq.,, of Sc Wall street, a COM
missioner in New York for Virginia lands,
and Thomas Kilvert, esq, of 1877 Broad

ginia lands for the same state.
Hon. A. H. H. Stuart, of Augusta,
took occasion to-day in the House of
Delegates to refer to the loss the country
had sustained in the. death of Willard Fill
more, of New York, former honored
chief magistrate Of the United States.
His eulogy was timely, truthful and az
fective, and contained one Of the most
touching and eloquent tributes to the worth
and ability Of the eminent dead it has been
our lot to hear. The public life, great acts
and private virtues Of the ex-President
were forcibly and fervidly reviewed.
