The Senatorial Votes to be Counted to-
Sf1y.

CONCORD, May ia meeting of the Cover
nor and Council will be held tomorrow, to
count the votes for Senators. A hearing Will
be had upon questions which have arisen IN
districts Nos. and 4. Democrats contend
the votes cast for Matt Head in the second dis
trict are illegal and should be excluded, which
would elect their candidate The Republicans
argue that the votes are legal, and there is no
choce. In the fourth district the Democrats
that some sixty votes cast for persons ineligible
to Office of Senator should be thrown out,
which if done would elect Proctor, the Demo-
cratic candidate. 1t is probable large number
of prominent politicians of both parties will be
present.
The question excites great deal of public
interest, as upon its decisions depend the po-
litical complexion of the Senate. 1t is under
derstood Hon. George 7. Sawyer and Hon. Asa
fowler of Concord, both Republicans, and
Harry Bingham of Littleton, will appear on
behalf of the Democrats and Gilman Mars
ton of Exeter and Hon. Mason M. Tappan OF
Bradford, with others, for the Republicans: "A
meeting of the Democratic State COMMITTEE
will be held at Phoenix Hall this evening.

CONCORD, May ia fully attended meeting
of the Democratic State Committee took place
This evening in the Phoenix Hotel, Gen. Put
nam of Warren, Chairman, presiding, and
Geo III, Emerson of Lancaster acting as Secre-
tary, pro tenn. The meeting was understood to
be held for the purpose of considering the
questions in dispute in the senatorial dlstrlcls,
Nos. 2 and 4, and full expression ct opinion
was given by the gentlemen present, one ns
sentiment pervaded the meeting, and that was
that the Governor and Council should IN the
decision tley make be governed by the consti,
tuition and the laws Of the state, uninhuenced
by the wishes of political friends or opponents:
Among the prominent men of the party present
and speaking were Hon. VIM. Burns of Ian
caster, Hon. Jno. G. Sinclair Of Littleton' Dr.
Eastman of Hampstead, j. M. Shirley OF An
dover, and others. Arguments advanced by
each were that, according to the provisions OF
the law and constitution, the Democrstlc can
ddates presented in the I'd district, andlfroctor
in the fourth, were legally elected, ana were
clearly entitled to certificates.
The impression prevails among prominent
men of the party tonight that the decision OF
the Governor and Council at their meeting TO-,
morrow will be in favor of the above mentioned
candidates The meeting was harmonious IN
all respects, and DO excitement.
