PANAMA, March 2.-There is a great deal OF
agitation going GU in this Republic with respect
to the coming election for President OF the
Union. Whether the question will he settled
by mere votes OF States Or by an armed strug,,
Ole remains to be seen. Fears are expressed
regarding the interference of National troops
to secure the vote Of a State for the Govern
meDt candidate.
Capt. Lu Of the u s. Navy, and bis party
are hard at work with survey across this part
of the islhmus The Ii nc 50 far has given salts
faction, AMI favorable opinions increase as the
survey proceeds. When last spoken with
Capt. Lul expressed himself much gratlted
with results SO far. He found that more
plentiful supply water could be had than was
anticipated.
South American adyces state that it has
been resolved in the Peruvian Chamber OF
Deputies after the expiration OF the Drey,
fus contract to authorize the Executive to sell
$50, 900 tons of Guam per annum, the liked
price being put u, 5 pounds 10 per ton, q
figure which is considered absurd. The fire
at Callao 90 the 18th of last month caused

The New H.mnshire Election.

CONCORD, N. H., March l0-l As a. H.
Doe hundred and eighty-four towns give
Cheney, Republican, 2956S; Roberts, Demo
crat, %, 3SS; scattering, 500 Last year these
towns gave McCutchings. Republican, 26,O27i
Weston, Democrat, 25,S2O; scattering, 1861.
This shows net gain for Cheney of 2 is.
CONCORD, n H., March l0-a. m.-Thirty-
one towns in the Second Congressional District
give Pike, Republican, ST. Bell, Democrat,
5O34; Fletcher, 30 Forty:fVe towns 10 the
Third District give Blair, Republican, .452;
Kent, Democrat, 1929; scattering, SO Fifty
zine towns 10 the First District give White,
house. Republican, $685. Jones, Democrat,
lO,O23; scattering, 1874 Whole number OF
towns 10 the District 81.
CONCORD, March 10 9 80 a. m.-Late re-
turns of the night seem to have changed the
face of the election somewhat, making what at
an earlier hour seemed an overwhelming he
publican victory rather doubtful. Returns OF
the Congressional districts are meagre and To-
sufficient to indicate results positively. The
Republicans claim to have elected Pike IN the
Second District and Blair in the Third, and
think Jones, the Democratic candidate 10 the
First District is defeated. On the other hand
the Democrats claiul to have elected Jones IN
the First, Bell ia the Second, aud think the
later returns may show the election of Kent In
the Third District. The Second and Third
Districts seem doubtful, with the chances some
what in favor of Jones in the First District.
The Republicans claim to have elected the
Governor, but the latest returns have reduced
the gains so that no election by the people
seems not improbable. The Legislature will
be very close.
CONCORD, March l0-l0 a. 1.-TWO hun.
dred and four towns give Cheney 1854, Rob
erts, 32,476; White aud scattering. $50. These
towns last year gave McCutchiugs 29, 344;
Weston, 2e,5S2; Black man and scattering,
1910 which is net gain for Cheney OF 25S.
There are twenty light towns to be heard from.

The November term of the Circuit
Court for Cooke county met at Newport,
November 23d, Judge Randolph presid-
ing. From a gentleman in attendance
we gather the following more important
cases disposed of:
The State vs. John Mathis, indicted
for murder. The prisoner was sentenced
to ten years imprisonment in the peni-
Tertiary Appealed to the Supreme
Court.
In the case of the State VS.. Y. j. Odell,
for larceny, the defendant was sentenced
to one year in the penitentiary. STAINS
berry Jenkins, jointly indicted with
Odell, was acquitted
The most exciting and interesting trial
of the session was that of the State VS..
Franks and Wheefock for the robbery of
Burnett's store. at Big Creek. The par
ties were convicted at the last term of
the Court, and sentenced to three years
in the penItentiary; but a new trial was
granted. The case excited more interest
than any trial had in Cooke county for
years. The principal witness was an ac
complete, who gave history of their
first meeting, their plans to rob the store
and minute detail of the robbery,
which was corroborated by the best men
in Cooke county. The defense relied
upon proving. an ali5f. Upwards of fifty
witnesses were on the list, and the most
of them were examined. The defend
ants were sentenced. to four years in the
penitcntiary, and appealed to the Su-
premc Court.
