The new HamPshire Contest.

LEGAL QUESTIONS PRKsENTED TO THE SUPERIOR

FEHRED UNTIL THE COURT GIVES AN OPINION.
CoNcoRD, N. H. June 4.-The Republican ma
jority in the New Hampshire State House Of
Representatives has gained another victory, and
taken another important step toward the point
at which they have aimed from the beginning
of the contest with the Democrats-that OF
placing before the Superior Court for de-
cision the question whether or not the Governor
and Council have the right to pass upon the le-
gal requirements OF the various candidates voted
for by the people when there is apparently no
choice at an election. The question OF submit
ting the subject to the Court for decision was
further discussed yesterday, and FIVE hours oon-
sumed in this and fllibustering by the Demo
cats, but the main question was finally reached
and carried by a vote of 180 yeas to 1853 nays.
The Republican and Democratic Senators have
each sent to the Judges of the Court docu.
ment setting forth the questions At issue ~
viewed from their respective stsndpoints, and
requesting decision on the legal:points involv-
ed.
The Republicans held caucus tonight to
discuss their future action, and the Democrats
WILL also hold a caucus tomorrow morning. 1t
is expected that both Houses will adiourn to-
morrow until MONDAY. Then, 1t is probable,
they will meet transact some unimportant bus
mess, and adjourn from day to day until the
opinion of the court is rendered. Tho choice Of
Governor by the Legislature will also probably
be deferred until the opinion of the court has
been obtained. Gov. Weston holding over by

carpenter by trade, who originally came here
from Chester county. He went last Fall, to

IfaiIrOad Accident.

TRAIN THROWN FROM THE TRACK ON THE BALTIC.
CENTRAL r. Il.
Yesterday afternoon, a freight train following
passenger train on the Baltimore Central II.
r., ran Off the track at the West End Switch,
between Lincoln University and Oxford. We
have been unable to ascertain the full extent OF
the damage, but understand that the train was
badly wrecked The locomotive was over
turned, and the escaping hot water from the
boiler falling over the :engineer, James Oliver,
severely, and perhaps fatally, ,scaldsd him. The
fireman also slightly injured.
The accident was caused by an open switch,
which is supposed to have been set in that posi-
ton by some evil disposed person. A short time
before the occurrence of the accident passen-
ger train safely passed the switch, which was
then closed, and was not disturbed. No other
trains had passed from the opposite direction,
and none of the employees of the company had
had any occasion to visit tho switch in the inter-
val between the trains, and the evidence seems
pretty conclusive that the switch was opened
for malicious purposes.

Opera House Changes ami Improve
nents.

TO The Editor If the Commercial
The public are glad to learn that the Mana
gers are making some long-needed improve
ments in the Opera House, whereby the poorest
seats will become, as they should be, the best.
Your paper reports that they propose to re-
move the blocks from under the chairs, raise the
floor and give it a much greater inclination. II
they.decline to lower the stage, which would be
the proper remedy, this substitute is probably
the best and may answer very well. Placing
seats at each end of the orchestra space will
improve the appearance greatly and the open
ings i'll the panelng into the circle are decided
advantages i'll seating or emptying full house.
As they have decided on this much and cer-
tainly are anxious to do all they can for the pub
lie who patronize them, the following hurried
suggestions may not be unacceptable:
10 leave passage or aisle around the outside
of the chairs, between them and the paneling.
Move row Il in circle forward few inches to
throw the posts out of the seats, where they
should never have been placed.
Remove divisions, and place fewer on each
seat in circle, making the seats wider they are
now crowded and very uncomfortable.
Renumber the whole house from consecutive
ly, having noitwo numbers alike. This would
do away with all chance for mistakes in tickets
which have made 80 much trouble
Place steps outside Of the windows of the au-
ditorium and conveniences in rear FOR hasty exit
in case of ire-the long narrow passage way to
Market street being insufficient in such time
of danger.
These suggestions require but little expense
to execute and would certainly repay the man-
agement, and are due to the public.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
The report of the Committee for the support
OF Bishops, which had been postponed from the
morning session, coming up for consideration,
Bishop Lee vacated the chair and Rev. DR.. Frost
presided temporarily.
The subject refers to the erection Of dspos-
able and accumulating fund, and apportioning

THE EVENING coNvocArIoN MEETING.
A joint meeting of the Northern and Southern
Convocations was held last evening, which was
well attended
Bishop Lee presided and Rev. DR.. Clemson,
Douglass, and Gibson otficiated in the opening
services.
Bishop Lee made few appropriate remarks
and introduced Rev. DR.. Clemson, of the North
ern Convocation, as the first speaker.
The Doctor, in his address, regretted the ap-
parent growth Of infidelity and skeptiosm, and
thought there must be cause for all this.
There was much preaching and little results
from it. From all that he could see he could
come to no other conclusion than that society
was retrograding. Great stress was laid upon
Sunday Schools but of the large Sunday
Schools reported from some of the Par
ishes, the Bishop seldom had more than seven
or eight confirmations This he said would not
save the world. More personal effort, and closer
living to the doctrines OF our holy Christianity
was required.
Rev. Mr.. Johnson from the Southern Convo-
cation spoke Of the satisfactory progress of the
work in Sussex county; 30 long barren field it
was now beginning to bring forth fruit. Sun
day schools were organized in nearly all the
churches, in one Of which there had been none
for II years and in another for II years. Many
who were originally Of the church and now gone
into other religious organizations were coming
the church presenting strong attractions.
Eey. Jos. Il. Wright of St. Peters Church,
Smyrna made sn eloquent and impressive ad-
dress. Mr.. Wright is a native Of our city, son
Of Robert Wright leader Of the choir Of the First
Presbyterian church of this city, and gives prom
ise of being leading minister of the Episcopal
Church.

hope the people of Wilmington will patronize the
